Chapter 243 Playing the game to play the inspiration

"Haha, you're losing again," Red took off his headphones, his face glowing red with excitement. This friend of Lin Mingyang in high school has successfully graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at this time, and he is also in the name of the executive president, which can be described as a spring breeze. He could no longer see the depressed look of the teenager who worked in his father's gas station, but instead had a calm self-confidence.

After Lin Mingyang acquired MGM Pictures, it was merged into the company, and in terms of the relationship between close friends, Lin Mingyang and Red also had an additional commercial partnership. The relationship between the two has gone further, but the opportunities to see each other have become fewer over the years, and the main reason is that both of them are busy.

This small gathering can be regarded as the longest time the two have stayed together in all these years. It's been a long time since they've seen each other, two big men, or two big boys to be precise, get together, of course, to return to the traditional entertainment of their high school days, and the two of them kill the monster on the computer in the MGM headquarters office.

Lin Mingyang's night troops were crushed under the fierce offensive of Rhett's beast army wave after wave, and he played GG helplessly for several games in a row, and then withdrew from the battle without hesitation.

Lin Mingyang has always been very talented in games, and in the past, Red was always "abused" by him very badly, no matter how hard Red honed his game skills, he never won against Lin Mingyang. He was in a very happy mood at first, but he slowly discovered that something was wrong.

In a few days of game battles, Lin Mingyang's mistakes can be described as low-level in Red's eyes. At first, Red was so immersed in the joy of victory that he didn't pay much attention to the details. The more he went to the back, the more obvious Rhett's feeling became, either Lin Mingyang's game operation level had plummeted in recent years, or this guy was not in the state at all.

Rhett directly denied the previous possibility, because he is now using the computer in Lin Mingyang's office, and other people's computers are equipped with a bunch of office auxiliary software, but Lin Mingyang is good, the computer desktop is empty, in addition to a few software that comes with the system, there is a folder called office that is abruptly placed there.

At first, Rhett thought that Lin Mingyang had a "habit" of keeping the computer desktop tidy, so he dragged all the icons of office software into a folder.

When Lin Mingyang proposed that the two of them kill a few games of Warcraft, Red also regretted that his notes were not brought with him, and he didn't expect Lin Mingyang to install games on the computer in his office at first.

When he clicked on the folder called Office on the computer desktop, he was dumbfounded. There is no office software in this, all of them are some of the most popular computer games at the moment, of course, classic old games like Warcraft, Lin Mingyang will naturally not let go.

If this incident spreads, it is estimated that it will be another news that attracts the public's attention in Hollywood, and who would have thought that the chairman of the board of directors of MGM Pictures Group would actually install a lot of games on the computer in his office. From this, you can imagine what Lin Mingyang usually does in this office.

I don't believe that Lin Mingyang, a guy who is "diligent in learning" in the game career, will have a trend of declining level, and it would be too fake to say that he deliberately released water. Since Lin Mingyang was able to suppress Rhett in high school and didn't let him gain the upper hand once, of course he wouldn't be so kind this time, and even if he released the water, Lin Mingyang's technical content was too low, which was in line with his usual style at all.

Without thinking too much, Red directly concluded that the reason why Lin Mingyang was killed by himself and lost his armor was simply because this guy was not in a state at all. Thinking of this, the smugness in Rhett's heart suddenly vanished. This feels like losing a cheat password, what is the point of a person picking 10 crazy computers?

"Why did you just quit?"

Lin Mingyang on the other end of the desk took off his headphones with a puzzled expression, the game situation was obviously very favorable to Red, he had just lost one of his sub-bases, and he could have killed his base camp in one go, but at this time he strangely quit the game.

"Don't play anymore, this game is boring" Red waved his hand boredly, "You guy is not in the state at all, this is just like you before, and playing with you doesn't feel like before"

Lin Mingyang's eyes widened in disbelief: "Do you like to feel like being * again?" ”

Red looked at him seriously, "At least you were serious about fighting me at that time, even though I never won once in your hands, but I was convinced to lose." ”

Lin Mingyang closed the note, nodded with a wry smile, "Okay, you're right, there's something that has made me very upset recently, and I often wander when I play games, hey..."

Red subconsciously asked, "Which female star did you have an affair with this time?" ”

Lin Mingyang rolled his eyes helplessly, "Do you think that kind of thing can make me like this?" ”

"I'm sorry, it's natural to get used to it," Red smiled, "I forgot that you guy wasn't the innocent little virgin he was back then, and he would be distressed for a long time about the little scandal he had with a beautiful girl at school." ”

Lin Mingyang's face was full of innocent expressions, "Actually, I'm also very pure now..."

Rhett retorted: "You are indeed very 'pure', so whose picture should you put on the cover of the next issue of Playboy?" ”

"These are two completely unrelated issues." Faced with his friend's criticism, Lin Mingyang just shrugged helplessly.

Red spread his hands: "Okay, I know MGM is doing well during this time, so you shouldn't be having a headache about business things, could it be your relationship problem... I can't give you any good advice on this."

"You know James Cameron is making a movie..."

"Well, a lot of people are talking about this now, and the media has been paying attention to this matter lately, and it is said that he spent all the production money given by Fox, and then got a lot of money from you?" Rhett manages such a video-sharing website, and has always been very sensitive to information from all parties.

"I went to the crew a while ago to watch it, and that film shocked me very much, if nothing else, this will be a cross-era movie, just like the "Titanic" back then"

For Lin Mingyang to give such an evaluation, Red can guess how wonderful the film is without even thinking about it, and what makes him puzzled is that Lin Mingyang does not have a particularly happy expression on his face.

"That film was well made, and as an investor you should be happy."

"My business identity is just my part-time job, my main job is still a filmmaker, to be precise, my main direction in the future should be a director" In front of his friends, Lin Mingyang has nothing to hide.

"Mr. Ex will definitely vomit blood when he hears your words" Red winked at Lin Mingyang tacitly, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, since you chose directing as your main job, so Cameron is the target you are trying to surpass?" ”

Lin Mingyang nodded, "I'm not a person who deliberately pursues any artistic achievements, but I hope that I can make a movie that is at the pinnacle of commerciality, "Titanic" is far behind other movies, and this time, Cameron may leave others farther behind."

"Are you saying that what is the movie called "Avatar", and the box office will surpass "Titanic"?" The shock in Rhett's heart is far more exaggerated than the expression on his face, you must know that the movie that has broken $1 billion at the box office is already a very remarkable film in Hollywood, and the global box office record of $1.9 billion in "Titanic" is considered to be an unsurpassable peak.

Lin Mingyang sighed softly: "When you actually see that film in the cinema, you will believe everything I said today... After 10 years of silence, everyone thought that Cameron was no longer brilliant, but in fact, he has always been imitated and never surpassed"

Red had never seen such a disappointed expression on Lin Mingyang's face, and he asked in a low voice, "Even you?" ”

"To be honest, I'm not too sure"

"It's not something I know, could it be that a James Cameron scares you like that?" Red stood up abruptly and looked at Lin Mingyang with burning eyes, "I just found out today how terrible it is to lose fighting spirit, whether in the game or in reality."

"I didn't say I can't do it," Lin Mingyang rubbed his nose, "It's just that I haven't found the right direction yet... I think there are days when men can't lift their spirits, you know."

Red gave him an angry look, "What you need right now is inspiration, maybe going out for a walk will help you?" ”

"I tried." Lin Mingyang shook his head, "It's useless"

Red smiled at Lin Mingyang with bad intentions, "Maybe those beautiful girlfriends of yours can help you."

"They're busier than I am right now"

"Maybe the game can give you some inspiration... Isn't it just making a movie, I think "Warcraft" is a good theme, such a vast world setting and a thick epic background, as well as so many characters and a large number of player fans, just look at the current "World of Warcraft" to know that such a film will definitely be more popular than "The Lord of the Rings"

Red just said it casually, but Lin Mingyang's eyes became brighter and brighter. The idea of adapting "Warcraft" into a movie is probably a long time ago, but the technology and capital investment required to shoot such a film has kept all such plans at the stage of imagination, and after watching the filming of "Avatar", Lin Mingyang knew that the time was ripe to bring "Warcraft" to the big screen.

Cameron can create a planet Pandora that is both real and illusory, can't he create a near-perfect "Warcraft" world by himself?
