The next day, I slept until noon and got up, and I heard the crisp opera of warblers on the gramophone, and the crisp chirping of small birds in the attic, and I immediately felt cordial.

Happy mouth also began to hum and chirp along with the music, and began to wash, practice, press legs, move muscles and bones, and sing the "Ode to Good Times" of "Anti-Four Flat Tunes", about the story of the matchmaker, Cui Yingying, and Zhang Junrui:

"Miss, Miss, you are so rich.

Junrui, Junrui, you are talented.

You don't need to buy it with a thousand gold, and the moon moves the flower and the shadow jade people come.

Tonight hooked the lovesick debt, a couple said they were in their hearts.

The old lady relied on the marriage, and the good marriage was ruthlessly dismantled.

You see that the young lady is sad all day long, and that one is sick and skinny.

No matter how good the old lady's family law is, my matchmaker has achieved their harmony between fish and water. ”

After playing with the poor bird for a while, he slowly returned to the table. There are already a few light side dishes and white porridge fritters left on it, and there is a passbook next to it. He opened it and looked, oh, there were really a lot, 1.98 million. Ninety-seven years is a millionaire, why does he suddenly feel full of pride.

"It seems that the old man wants to make a family, and he really doesn't let people be idle."

But he had to rejoice, at least the old man didn't let him marry and have children immediately.

- Don't think this is a joke, in the eyes of the old man, the sexual well-being of the grandson is far less important than the opening of the family. It's not just a topic that has been mentioned once or twice in the past, but at that time, Happy was still in school, so there was no way to talk about it. If you mention it again this time, you will have to make him N big.

After some leisure, I finally sorted out my luggage.

There weren't many clothes, not many items, except for the thick stack of comic manuscripts, and the most important thing was just an assembly laptop. He immediately turned on his laptop and connected to the Internet. The network at home was installed during the Chinese New Year last year, and the ten-megabit broadband is not as fast as the one-megabit network speed in the United States.

"Po, are you still there?"

He asked strangely, but there was no one else in the room. At this moment, something strange happened, no one was operating, and the computer made its own synthesized sound: "I'm here, sir, it's time for you to charge me." ”

"How does it feel?"

Happy but familiar with it, calmly chatted with the computer.

"Sir, I don't feel anything. If you're asking about the status of your computer, then I'd like to remind you that it's time to upgrade your computer device, which has more than 95% memory usage. ”

Automatically called up the "my computer" attribute to show him, and immediately laughed: "No wonder it's so stuck." It's really not worry-free.,This memory module has just been expanded for a few days.。 "It's not surprising that you see the weird things that the computer itself asks for upgrades to.

"Sir, you are teaching me new knowledge, I am improving, and the code will naturally take up more space."

Happy pouted and said, "You really have to start making money, otherwise you won't be able to support you." Bear with me first, the server group will be in place in a few days, and it is estimated that it will be able to manage for a while. This is my territory, and I will be able to show you your abilities to the fullest in the future. ”

"Again, sir, according to the first precept of the confidentiality agreement: you must not let me appear in the eyes of any other living entity for twenty years. Any behavior that is assessed as risky will be given a negative. So no matter how advanced the equipment is, I can't fully display my abilities. ”

Happy also remembered this stubble, and suddenly regretted a little: it was really a donkey kicked in the brain, why was the brain hot at that time, so such a restriction program was added. But thinking about how he hung up in his previous life, he was not so enthusiastic.

If you want to be happy, I was just a top-level programming ape in my last life, following a veteran computer engineer to study artificial intelligence, and I was a pure dead house. I don't have many other hobbies on weekdays, but I like movies, especially comedy, animation, and science fiction.

Because I was inspired by the artificial intelligence program in a Hollywood science fiction movie, I didn't know which nerve was wrong, and I actually wanted to study artificial intelligence whimsically. The result, of course, is a constant wall. But the dead house has a little benefit, tenacity. I don't hope much, let alone disappoint, I want to be happy.

Once drunk, his head was smoked, and there was wind, rain, thunder and lightning outside, and he came home groggy and still had to write code. Then, I don't know which of God's tendons was twitched, and he was asked to write a piece of code that no one could understand—maybe it was no longer appropriate to call it code, maybe it would be more appropriate to call it a "virus".

When he woke up from his computer desk and was about to delete this junk program, he suddenly realized that this code was already able to speak on its own. At first, I was naturally full of surprise. Subsequently, various tests were carried out on this "virus", and it was found that its IQ was at most only the level of a five-year-old child, and it was not as good as that of a Japanese machine. But there is one attribute that is incomparable to all intelligent programs in the outside world, which is self-learning -- this is already the basic essence of human beings.

He named this intelligent program "Bao", and then gradually showed its amazing and strange abilities as it continued to improve. And it is hailed as a revolution in the field of intelligent programming by the outside world, and even the mentor said that if you don't get it right, you still have a chance to win the Nobel Prize.

And then...... There was no then, he was suddenly attacked at the most beautiful time of his life. This plot, which often only appears in movies, actually happened in reality, and then inexplicably traveled to the happiness of ten years ago.

"The emaciated mother hugged her son's head with her body, and the well-mannered father supported his body with his not thick arms, blocking his son and mother, and then the car was hit and weighed down, and gradually deformed, and the sound of blood splattering and bones shattering was strongly reflected in his mind." It was the first image he saw when he crossed over, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life.

……

I rubbed my eyes, and I was always prone to sourness after watching the computer for a long time.

"Sir, is this a sad expression, it fits well with the crying expression you define."

"Fart!" Happy and annoyed, slapped the table and started work: "Old rules, today I will teach you the various meanings of the characters' expressions while working, let's call up the database first." Where did we do it last time? ”

The computer immediately started working automatically, and several beautiful color cartoons appeared on the desktop.

The content is two young people playing against each other, the style of painting is beautiful, the black and white chess are clearly separated, and the relationship between the characters and architectural objects in the comics is also dense.

"Sir. Last time, I did the twentieth episode of "Chess Soul", "The Road to Career". But I don't want to continue working, and the memory module will be scrapped in ten minutes at most. ”

"What a disappointment!" happily and dissatisfied, he pushed away the notebook, "Then what else can you do?" ”

Although the dead house is determined to live a different life again, some habits can never be changed, and he cannot live without the computer.

"You have eight unread messages to reply to."

"So much? Tune it all out. ”

There were several unread letters in the mailbox, and he responded to them one by one.

The first is a letter from classmate Johnny Rowe.

This is a third-generation Chinese immigrant from Los Angeles, whose Chinese name is Luo Kedi. The family runs many investment businesses, and he is also a well-known wealthy man in the Chinese circle in Los Angeles. He was happy when he was a student at the USC Film School, and he admired Happy being able to sing and dance (Peking Opera turned his head), and he was pestering to learn Peking Opera, but he couldn't even speak Chinese. In the four years of college, he has always been a happy follower and assistant during his internship and part-time job at school or during the holidays.

After graduation, he happily decided to return to China and invited him to return to his homeland together. Johnny angrily refused. Originally, they agreed to start an animation studio together after graduation, just like Steve Jobs did when he founded Pixar. Now that I am happy to graduate and return to China, I have broken my original promise. For this reason, Johnny is still haunted by it.

In the letter, Johnny introduced himself to work at an independent production company, and between the lines, he still urged him to return to the United States to find him after he couldn't get along in China.

The second letter came from Pixar boss Steve Jobs.

After studying at USC for four years, Happy interned at Pixar for four years, and participated in the creation of the world's first fully computer-produced animated feature film, Toy Story. Because during the internship, many suggestions for this film were adopted, and the technology and professional knowledge were solid, and he was strongly retained by Pixar after graduation.

This letter, naturally, is still an invitation letter.

For this reason, Pixar even offered an annual salary of $200,000, and the assistant director position of "Toy Story 2" is not low, but Jobs doesn't know that Happy has returned to China.

There were also some classmates' greetings, backlog of letters and advertising emails, he simply dealt with them, but he didn't find the letter he wanted to see the most. After a moment's hesitation, he asked Po to open the mailbox and start writing.

Sakuragi:

See you in good faith!

My old braggart classmate, I haven't seen you in a few days, and you'll be back in Japan. The weather in Tokyo is wonderful. When I have time, I will send you some gifts with Chinese characteristics for my uncles and aunts, please say hello to the elders on my behalf.

Do you remember that before you graduated, I gave you the comic manuscript of "Chess Soul"? You said that your father was a shareholder of Fuji Television and had a relationship with "Weekly Shonen Jump", and he took the initiative to help me recommend this graffiti work. I'm grateful, I wonder if the manga has been sent out now. If you still brag, then I'll have to send it again myself; If it has already been sent, please feel free to contact me with my new contact information at the end of the letter.

Don't let me down, or I'll beat you up next time I go to Tokyo. If the matter has been completed, I will entrust you to be my agent in Japan, and the next time I travel to China, I will cover all the expenses......"

After spilling out nonsense, even using threats and temptations, he closed the computer and took out a thick stack of comic manuscripts from the bottom of the box - it was "The Soul of Chess".

This is really just a work of practice, because working on the design of Toy Story during his internship required a lot of drawing, and he happened to be poor at drawing, so he naturally needed to practice carefully.

Drawing and drawing, it became this comic with deep memories in my mind.

Unfortunately, it was seen by Sakuragi, a classmate in the same apartment, and regarded this comic as a classic treasure. took the initiative to expose his own details, and wanted to help recommend it to Japan for publication, which led to the previous letter.

The reason why Happy said that he practiced writing was entirely because he watched the anime version in his previous life, not a comic book. No matter how strong his memory is, he can't completely replicate the rhythm of the anime into a manga. In addition, I completely spend my spare time painting, so the creation is a little slow, and I am close to finishing the book after graduating in two or three years.

Now that I have decided to return to China to start a business, I have naturally thought of a path.

Comics are just a stepping stone, and his real idea is to gradually move on to animated films through guò anime, and open his own studio to vow to be a Chinese Pixar.

A twenty-year-old young man, who has just graduated and has no social connections, dares to learn to start a company to make movies with two spare money in his hands, and he also makes animated movies, no matter how you look at it, I feel unreliable.

But as the saying goes, "The road is the one that people walk out, take other people's paths, and let others have no way out." ”
