Chapter 274. 【Storm】

Once the plan for the in-depth cooperation between Dream Entertainment and Blizzard to develop "The Hunger Games" together has been confirmed, so as not to have too many dreams at night, the two sides agreed to hold a press conference on May 8 to announce the cooperation.

The day was fast approaching.

The press conference was held at Dream Entertainment's headquarters in Los Angeles, USA. A total of 18 major international media reporters were invited this time, with a total of 50 or 60 people, which can be said to be a huge press conference.

In the flickering of magnesium lights, the soul of fantasy entertainment, the great Hollywood director and screenwriter, Yi Feiyang smiled and walked slowly to the high platform of the press conference hall.

After standing on the stage, he first looked around, and then announced with a smile, "This time, Dream Entertainment has bothered so many reporters from all over the world to come here for one thing. That is to announce that we at Dream Entertainment Group will be working with Blizzard Online Games to create a new game based on The Hunger Games! Starting today, "The Hunger Games" will be officially derived from a novel and a movie to a real online game mode, replacing "Diablo 3" and taking the lead in everyone's field of vision! ”

As soon as this remark came out, the reporters in the audience were in an uproar, "The Hunger Games" has not yet started filming, and it will become an online game first?!

This...... What the hell is going on?

When the reporters in the audience exchanged heads and whispered, Yi Feiyang smiled and stretched out his hand to point forward, "I know that everyone is very confused at the moment, but it doesn't matter, please look at the big screen......"

The reporters' eyes looked at the big screen in the direction pointed by Yi Feiyang's fingers, and the game pictures flashed out of the big screen one by one.

The first: In the cold and withered wilderness, the smoke curls up. It makes people feel as if they have returned to the empty primordial world.

The second: a tall mountain peak. Dense jungle. The unknown beast poked its head out and stared viciously at the outer realm.

The third picture: An airship sits on the top of a mountain peak, with white clouds below and pterosaur-like creatures soaring in the sky.

……

"Guys, what do you see?"

"Wastelands, forests, mountains, and all sorts of unknown beasts and birds!"

"It's deserted. It's empty, it's primitive! ”

"It's ...... Could it be the online game page for The Hunger Games? Some shrewd reporters replied.

Yi Feiyang nodded and said with a smile: "Bingo!" You guessed right! That's right, this is the background screen of the game that we first designed, the original realm of the future wasteland world, these mountains and forests, as well as beasts, insects and jackals are all designed with the latest 3D animation, we will bring you the most realistic visual enjoyment, take you into the game world to travel. ”

There was silence in the audience, and reporters used their professional instincts to realize that it was time for explosive news to follow.

"Actually. For online games, we don't have much to do with fantasy entertainment, and it can even be said to be blank. But it's great that we're working with Blizzard, one of America's most creative companies. Blizzard is in a leading position in the world of games, and they have designed and developed the "Dark God of Destruction" series and the "Warcraft" series, which have brought us a lot of surprises and shocks. Therefore, we believe that this time we will work together to develop this ultra-advanced online game, and there will be an incomparably bright future. ”

"Maybe everyone is thinking about the question at this time, what is the biggest advantage of our development of this game? The last ......," Yi Feiyang smiled and stretched out his fingers, "We have come to the conclusion that our greatest strength lies in the background of our game itself. That's right, it's the background! Often many stories lack flesh and blood, that is because the story background is too thin, and our play is different, specifically, our game comes from novels, from well-known stories, which is undeniable to anyone! ”

With this in mind, all of us at Dream Entertainment began to work day and night to study how we could make the most of this advantage. Finally, we finally came up with a solution, which was to use this audition for the characters of The Hunger Games to launch an adaptation of the online game at the same time. We must strive to achieve one thing, that is, the transformation of virtual and reality, and integrate the virtual background into the real world......"

"Oh!" The reporters all shouted in a pretended to come to an instant.

However, in fact, until now, they still don't know what Yi Feiyang wants to say in their hearts.

Yi Feiyang knows how to grasp everyone's mentality, and when everyone is very eager for him to tell the most difficult answer, he began to sell Guanzi, he stretched out his right index finger, "This is virtual." ”

Then, he held out his left and right index fingers again, "This is reality." ”

Yi Feiyang slowly docked the fingertips of his left index finger and the fingertips of his right index finger, and at the end of the day, the two fingertips touched together, "The day when the virtual and the real world are docked, it is the day when "The Hunger Games" really changes from text to image, and becomes a day when the virtual world and the real world merge. I'm looking forward to it! ”

After speaking, Yi Feiyang bowed slightly and strode off the stage.

The reporters were all stupid by him, and they even forgot to applaud, what is it?

"Next, Mr. Dures, Vice President of Dream Entertainment, will explain to you the largest media plan in human history - the "Hunger Games" online game plan." After Yi Feiyang stepped down, the host announced loudly.

At this time, everyone realized that Yi Feiyang had said so much, it was just a show, and what the current vice president Dures wanted to talk about was the main thing. It seems that Yi Feiyang has no intention of stealing the limelight from his second-in-command.

In fact, it is true, the concept of this online game was originally put forward by Dures, of course Yi Feiyang does not take credit, give his subordinates a little more opportunity to perform, in order to appear that he is a good leader, and his subordinates will be encouraged to work harder for the company, this is the philosophy of leadership.

The spotlight flickered, and Dures, known as the world's most legendary vice president of Dream Entertainment, was still meticulously dressed like every press conference, without much on his face. Only very formulaic expressions. He walked unhurriedly onto the podium. nodded slightly, and then began to say: "I know that everyone is very confused about the adaptation of the online game "The Hunger Games", so now I will explain it to you in detail...... and then took out a stack of super thick manuscripts.

That's right, it's a very thick draft!

What I know is that he is doing a news release, but I don't know that I think he is doing an academic report!

"Everyone has probably read the launch novel of "The Hunger Games", and the content of the story is about the future wasteland world ......" Unlike in the past, Dures, who has always been stingy with words, will begin to gush endlessly, telling the concept of this online game plan to the fullest. So much so that his expressionless and boring speech made many media reporters yawn.

Usually, in such cases, journalists choose to get away from the scene for a while, get some fresh air, eat some hot dogs, or something. But because today's news was so important, they had to sit on the Diaoyu Tai and watch the world's most boring guy talk about his ideas on the podium with blank eyes, under the light of a lamp that costs $5,000 a minute.

At this time, the hosts of the TV station will be very well-behaved and say: "Because there is a problem with the signal in front." Let's start with a few ads and don't walk away. I'll be right back. ”

Maybe it's because today's news is particularly important, and the reporters will definitely not leave, so Dures explained his concept in great detail, until the reporters in the audience couldn't help but start boosing, Dures coughed, "After introducing the design concept of this game to you, now, I would like to introduce to you the cooperation plan between Dream Entertainment and Blizzard Games." ”

As if they had grasped a life-saving straw, the reporters on the verge of collapse immediately breathed a sigh of relief, picked up their pens, and prepared to record. And the hosts of the TV station also smiled sweetly and said: "The signal from the front is finally back, please join us to follow the scene of the Dream Entertainment press conference." ”

Seeing that everyone had "returned to their souls", Dures continued to say expressionlessly: "We have signed a game development plan for The Hunger Games with Blizzard Games, and we will focus on launching this virtual online game within three years!" In addition, we at Dream Entertainment will also take a stake in Blizzard and become one of their new shareholders! ”

"Oh my God, Dream Entertainment has started to expand again, and this time it has even started the idea of online games!"

"I originally thought that Dream and Blizzard were only cooperating temporarily, but I didn't expect that people had already invested in them!"

"This news is exciting enough, it looks like Dream Entertainment is going to bring movies, TV, and online games to the table!"

……

"Some people may ask, why do we do this for fantasy entertainment? In fact, from the very beginning, the route we Dream Entertainment took was the movie route, and then expanded to TV, music and other industries, but these are all based on the performances of actors and singers, which belong to the industry of the real world, while online games are virtual, and it is an industry that allows everyone to substitute into it to create characters, a real, a virtual, what we Dream Entertainment has to do is to combine these two, use a lot of money to create a real game background, like Disneyland, development' The Hunger Games' and thus create a new type of entertainment empire! ”

Now, the reporters finally know what is going on with the docking of virtual and reality that Yi Feiyang said.

Genius, what a genius!

You must know that other companies have not tried to adapt the game into a movie, but most of them have failed, because the game is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and the movie can't shoot that effect.

But Dream Entertainment is different, they create movies and games at the same time, so that games and movies can complement each other, neither of them will have a negative impact on the other, on the contrary, they can also increase each other's popularity, but there is also a dead end in doing so, that is, what if the movie is not popular? What if the game messes up?!

It can be said that Fantasy Entertainment has made a big bet this time, and it is bound to only win and not lose!

But is it possible?

Don't say anything else, just say that the box office war between the dream blockbuster "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" and Colombia's "Boxing King Ali" is still entangled, the Oscar war is about to begin...... although "The Hunger Games" has earned enough gimmicks by auditions, but Americans are not fools, and they will never buy it easily if they don't see the goods, so the follow-up road of fantasy is still very far away and difficult!

"That's the main content of our Dream Entertainment press conference." After Dures finished speaking, he closed his mouth and looked at the audience.

Suddenly. There was a strange silence in the audience. This scene is really weird.

It took a while. As if remembering something, Dures picked up the microphone and said, "It's time to ask questions, please ask questions from reporters." ”

After a long time for the reporters in the audience, one of the reporters finally raised his hand, and Dures rarely squeezed out a smile, nodded, and motioned for the staff to hand him the microphone.

After getting the microphone, the reporter asked in a somewhat impatient voice: "Hail! Hello. I am a reporter for Japan's "Taiga Daily", and I would like to ask Mr. Durres why Mr. Yi Feiyang is so confident in his plan? Movies, TV, and now online games, don't you think the speed of expansion is too fast? ”

Dures was expressionless and replied: "Based on my personal understanding of Mr. Yi, I think Mr. Yi Feiyang is a complete planner, and all his actions can be explained by planners, but his plans are perfect. At least so far, nothing has gone wrong! ”

At this time. Yi Feiyang, who was sitting next to him, whispered a few words to Dures, and Dures turned his head, "In addition, Mr. Yi would like to ask you to convey a message to your Prime Minister that the Diaoyu Islands belong to China." ”

The audience burst into laughter, the atmosphere of the venue was finally lively, and the reporters began to remember their responsibilities and began to raise their hands to ask questions.

"Hi Mr. Dures, hello, I'm a reporter for the Washington Daily in New York. As we all know, in the course of more than three years, Dream Entertainment has always been committed to creating miracles. This time, Dream Entertainment has planned to create a miracle of online games, I really want to ask, do you think this is the last miracle of your Dream Entertainment? Or do you think you're going to have a bigger miracle. ”

"Thank you so much, man! Thank you for your compliments! You must know that Mr. Yi Feiyang is a person who advocates life and struggles, and we Dream Entertainment is also a company with the same spirit. We never thought about what we were going to get in the future, we just kept trying to move forward. ”

"Hello dear Du! I'm a reporter for the French newspaper Liberté Times, and I'd like to ask how much money your company is prepared to invest in this incredible online game plan? ”

Dures smiled, "Sorry, man! This kind of question is only possible for me to answer if asked by the Ministry of Finance. ”

The audience laughed.

"But I can reveal a little, the numbers are unexpectedly huge!" Dures added.

Nonsense, you can imagine with your ass how terrifying the amount of this investment is, creating a "new world of Lu" like building a Disneyland, no one has ever done it except God!

Then, a British reporter stood up, "Dear Du, there are many people who say that Dream Entertainment has rapidly expanded into a group that is famous all over the world in just three years, during which I don't know how many small film companies and movie theater chains have closed down and gone bankrupt, but Dream Entertainment has been doing charity in a high-profile manner, does this seem a bit hypocritical?" ”

Dures smiled coldly, "I'm sorry man, you're an idiot with this question, please keep your eyes open and see where this is?" It's the United States! Yes, it's America! The most competitive and brutal America! Here the loser only has the share of being buried, or he chooses to cry like the girl, and as for those who sue like you, we look down on it even more! ”

There was a lot of laughter around him, and the British reporter's old face was flushed.

"The speed of development and expansion of our fantasy entertainment has nothing to do with charity! Because we are the ones who really make movies with a conscience! That's all! ”

Next, countless reporters in the audience raised their hands, and Dures was dizzy.

Yi Feiyang gave a color to the host, the host understood, and hurriedly walked out, "Mr. Du still has some important meetings to be held, this is the end of the press conference, thank you for coming, we have prepared a dinner for everyone, please have a dinner with your press card." ”

Since then, the storm that has been blowing by Dream Entertainment has come to an end temporarily.

……

At the same time, a private mansion in Los Angeles.

The super boss behind Sony-Columbia Pictures, known as the "King of Electrical Appliances", Akio Morita climbed out of the swimming pool, his shriveled body proved that he was old, but the sharp eyes showed that his heart was very young, at least at the moment when the beautiful woman in a bikini draped him in a towel, he couldn't help but pinch the other party's tall RU room with his hand.

The bikini beauty couldn't hold back the pain and let out a moan. In this way, Akio Morita immediately became excited. If it hadn't been for that, Abbas's guy had come over. Maybe the old thing will directly correct this beauty by the pool, but as for whether his words work or not, then I don't know what to say......

"Hey, Abbas, are you so laid-back? Why didn't you get the box office of "The King of Fighters Ali", but you came to me? Akio Morita said as he picked up a towel and wiped his cheeks and wet hair.

"No, Mr. Morita. I'm looking for you for something important. Abbas peeked at the hot bikini beauty with his eyes, and said secretly, unfortunately, the cabbage was arched by the pig.

"Oh, tell me, what's the matter?" Akio Morita threw the used towel to the bikini beauty and lay down on the chair.

"It's not that damn China Yi yet, this time it's a new trick!" As he spoke, Abbas respectfully handed the prepared materials to Akio Morita.

When Akio Morita heard that it was Yi Feiyang again, he couldn't help but feel a little headache. Before. He really didn't look up to this Chinese very much, but with the movie war between Colombia and Dream Entertainment. Morita began to slowly notice the difference in this young man.

For Yi Feiyang, Akio Morita began to be full of curiosity, and after carefully reading the interviews and shooting tidbits about his two films, he was full of doubts.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to start from scratch, and the primitive accumulation of capital is the longest and most painful, especially in Hollywood, where white directors have the right to speak.

But this hateful Chinese succeeded, and with his perseverance and hard work, he made many Americans' prejudices against Chinese change.

Persistence, hard work, a hundredfold struggle and unique ingenuity will one day stand out from obscurity, this is the American view of Yi Feiyang.

Cunning, treacherous, and shitty luck! This is Akio Morita's evaluation of Yi Feiyang.

"He's a nasty guy who always comes up with something weird!" Akio Morita took a general look at the information and sneered. But there's no denying that the online game he came up with is a great idea! You know, we are big experts in making games in Japan, and the profits here are beyond your imagination! ”

Kao, it's rare to hear this old thing praise others, and it seems that Yi Feiyang is taken seriously. Abbas muttered in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "You are right, so it's a headache, this China Yi always tries to attract the attention of the entire entertainment industry, look at his face......" Pointing to the photo on the information, Yi Feiyang, who was full of wisdom and confidence in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were raised, "I really want to go up and smoke him a few mouths!" Forgive my violence, O God! ”

"Oh no, no, no, don't use violence! That's what only fools and fools do! For those of us with status and status, we must rely on our brains to do everything! ”

"What then? Do you just keep watching him arrogant? Abbas feigned indignation.

"Ha Luha, use your brains more...... If I remember correctly, this year's Oscars are about to open, man, you should use your energy, and it is best to make this China easy to submit to defeat at the Oscars, in that case, any of his tricks will be self-defeating! ”

Abbas's eyes lit up, yes, why didn't he think of it? You must know that the reason why Yi Feiyang launched the audition plan for "The Hunger Games" is because of the incomparably majestic momentum of the play "When Happiness Knocks on the Door"; And the launch of the "Hunger Games" online game plan is based on the momentum of the ever-hot audition...... It can be said that China Yi's plan is one ring after another, one ring after another, interlocking, and continuous...... As long as he destroys the foundation, the tower he built won't collapse instantly?!

"But, dear Mr. Morita, the Oscar judges are all old bones that are difficult to gnaw, and if you want to move them to engage in black-box operations, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

"Hehe, you should have more ways to do this than I do, don't you? After all, you are Americans, and they are also Americans, but what about the China Yi, but it is Chinese...... What is the reason to award the most important Oscars to an outsider? What do you say, dear Mr. Abbass? ”

"Hah, I see!" Abbas smiled wickedly, yes, this is the United States, this is his home turf...... China Yi, do you really want to win an Oscar? Then let me kick your ass! (To be continued......)
