Chapter 4: Extreme Beauty
Highly recommend the films that appear in the chapters, don't miss it if you like to watch beauties, it's best to watch it again if you've seen it~ and then shamelessly ask for a collection of recommended tickets!
Asked about the arcade, Caesar suddenly became stern.
"The question from this player is very good and very important." Caesar frowned in front of outsiders, and his voice was unconsciously lowered.
"What is an arcade? To put it simply, it is a game console placed in public entertainment places, and many supermarkets, bars and even grocery stores can put a few of them, right? For example, Pac-Man, which many people like to play, I saw it at a small grocery store. ”
"Everyone is a player, and when you encounter a classic game, you can't control yourself, and you can't control the time, am I right?"
As soon as he asked this, although there was no audience at the scene, the players in front of the TV couldn't help but nod their heads or agree in their hearts.
"Home consoles are intermittent investments, you buy a console, you buy the right cassette, even if it's just a classic game cassette, you can play for a long time."
"The arcade machine is that you spend money every time you play it, twenty-five cents a time, and only four times is a dollar, if I make an addictive arcade machine, how much money do you have to invest in this arcade machine if you want to have a good time? Have you thought about it? ”
"The most important thing is that the high price of arcade machines is not something that every family can move home to one or two, which leads to many minors being exposed to arcade games in public places, have you ever thought about the consequences?
Yes, players need money for both the machine and the arcade, the problem is that the home machine is controllable, parents go to work, children go to school, after work, parents can limit what their children can play, what they can't play, and how long their children can play. ”
"Parents can't see when kids play arcade! Parents don't know what games their children play or what kind of information they are exposed to.
Some parents may say that if you don't give pocket money, you can control it, but I can only say that it is too simple. ”
"Parents don't give money, children can steal, rob, skip school, fight and contact gangs...... This may create a fertile ground for juvenile delinquency.
As a practitioner in the entertainment industry, I would like to take this opportunity to appeal not to underestimate the impact of the entertainment industry on minors and even on the social environment. ”
"There was news a few days ago that a game company formed by laymen released a ** game on the Atari console with the theme of abusing and killing Native American women, which was met with a collective protest from players and a lawsuit by human rights organizations."
"I want to ask, what if there is a company that sells this kind of game on an arcade? What if the arcade is flooded with these kinds of games? Do you want your child to be exposed to this content too early? ”
"The gaming industry is too young, full of chaotic competition, and too much bottomless content. I am planning to set up a relevant organization for industry self-discipline and rating, modeled after the film industry, and I am currently contacting the relevant government departments to make relevant reports. ”
"Children should grow up physically and mentally healthy, and we must care about what kind of content they are exposed to at what age, and this care should start with the self-discipline of our practitioners."
"Finally, I would like to say that arcade machines are a big piece of the game industry, and each arcade machine can cost as little as two or three thousand dollars, and as much as seven or eight thousand dollars, and it is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of dollars in the future.
I voluntarily gave up this cake not because of technical problems, let alone financial problems, but because I didn't want to make a game that was out of my parents' control and could cause a series of problems. You know, I'm still in school, and as a student, I know all too well about these things. ”
After the content of the live interview was reprinted by other media outlets, it shook the whole of North America.
Caesar, as a super young president (thirteen years old) of the youngest company in the young industry, was the first to stand up and shout for industry self-discipline, and in the eyes of a country like the United States, which is full of cowboys, this is a hero!
All of a sudden, newspapers, television, and radio were full of talk about Caesar, his FFF company, and the Playbox console.
Atari's Ray Caesar also reacted after reading the content of this interview, there are too many scum and bottom-line stinky works on the market based on the Atari 2600 platform. He focused on the "game news about Indian women" again, and he finally realized the problem of strict zhòng.
It's a pity that he now wants to start from scratch with industry self-discipline, and there is no point in it.
The Atari 2600 console was launched as an open platform, and there were no legal provisions that could restrict copycat third-party studios from making and selling games on the 2600.
Atari now had to go through legal process if it wanted to enact any clause that could take effect, which meant going to court.
Fighting this kind of dispute-type lawsuit in the United States, and both sides are big enterprises that are not bad for money, it is simply a protracted tug-of-war. When the court comes out, there may be tens of thousands of such garbage games......
Besides, if this lawsuit starts, it is not necessarily who wins. What's even more pitiful is that Atari is already in a lawsuit with the "Activision" studio. Could it be that Atari is going to sue all the third-party companies?
In Ray Kaiser's view, this is no longer a difficult to ride a tiger, this is already the death knell. However, as the president, he did not have the slightest way to turn the situation around, because it was a typical domino ruin, just because there was a fatal mistake at the beginning, and the next qiē was out of control.
Time is like sand in your hands, and Atari slowly waits for the collapse to come.
On the contrary, Caesar enjoys life unhurriedly, playing with little Liv every day, selling cuteness in front of her parents and grandparents, and drawing comics, writing scripts, writing tunes or burning games at night, living a full and comfortable life.
Seeing that the summer vacation was coming, Caesar called the contacts of the Hollywood giants and handed over the script, asking for only one, to find a French actress in Canada, and the heroine must be her.
The liaison officers in charge of contacting Caesar left confused with the script.
Name an actress you've never heard of at all? No matter how you look at it, this thing is unreliable.
When Caesar was very young, he accidentally saw a translated film broadcast on a TV station, yes, it was the ------ "Angels in the World" that made the Chinese audience at that time spend all their pocket money on watching this film, and made many people buy tickets to watch the movie repeatedly.
At that time, China had just been reopened, and the audience had no chance to see the beauty from the West, which was different from the Orientals.
From the moment the angel played by Emmanuel Bea appeared in front of the screen, the Chinese people were shocked to discover that the so-called ghost guy with blond hair and blue eyes can also be as beautiful as this shocking Cheng dù.
At that time, this blonde and blue-eyed angel was absolutely indispensable in people's after-dinner conversations.
What "extreme purity and perfection", what "shocking heaven", what "Xi Shi Diao Chan are all ancients, we haven't seen it, and only after looking at the angels did we know that there was really a saying that zài was alluring the country and the city." ”
This is the screen image that Emmanuelle Bea left to the world and China at that time.
In fact, Emmanuel Bea's beauty is not as perfect as she thinks, her face is a little round at first glance, and there is a small pit at the tip of her chin that a woman should not have. And the older you get, the less fat you have, and the more obvious this pit is.
Of course, these are not major problems, you can't see it with a little retouching when applying makeup, and the makeup artists and photographers of "Angels in the World" put a lot of thought into beautifying the heroine.
A large amount of soft light and floodlight treatment in the whole film portrays the angel played by the heroine perfectly, as if it is really a pure spirit descending from heaven to the mortal world.
At that time, the audience basically didn't know anything about these techniques, only knew that this angel was so beautiful that it made people dizzy.
The reason why the angel played by Bea is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is not all because of the beautiful appearance, but also because of the temperament.
The angel in the film cannot speak, but can only emit a single note like a chant, and the holiness and beauty of the angel can only rely on his eyes and temperament.
When the angel attracted countless small animals to play with her in the woods, and listened to her sing hymns, the audience had only one thought, she was really an angel!
Caesar was too young to see Emmanuel Bea as a man looks at a woman, and in his young mind he only knew that this angelic aunt was too beautiful, a beauty that his lacklustre vocabulary could not describe.
When he was an adolescent, Caesar saw a rerun of the film on TV again, and after changing the angle, that strong possessiveness suddenly appeared.
He joked with his English teacher and mentioned the film, and even thanked the creator for such a perfect woman, so that men would not be lonely in their dreams.
After the turn of the millennium, the French edition of Elle magazine used a topless photo of Bea in her forties as the cover, and still let the magazine sell out within 24 hours, which is the charm of France's top beauty.
To be honest, even Sophie Marceau doesn't have this appeal after the age of forty, she loses shape too quickly when she gets older.
In Caesar's information, "Angels in the Middle" was released in 1987, and although the box office of the film did not even enter the top ten of the annual box office, compared with the ultra-low production cost, the global box office of 70 million is also a successful case of small investment and big return.
In fact, the plot of this film really doesn't matter, it's just a simple, perfect fairy tale in the hearts of adults.
Caesar's purpose is to adapt this film and release it in advance, of course, taking this opportunity to make the angel his own is the ultimate victory.
