Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1020 I got excited when I saw the title
Chapter 1020 I got excited when I saw the title
1020
As the editor-in-chief of a film review magazine, Jimmy naturally easily obtained tickets to the premiere of one of Ready Player One’s cinemas. The biggest advantage of attending the premiere was that he had the opportunity to meet the film’s creators and answer questions live.
“Hey, isn’t there any God of Games?”
Jimmy took his children into the movie venue for the premiere and sat down, and then some of the film's main creative staff walked in first to interact with everyone.
Since there are many venues for premieres, people like Zhu Youxing will naturally go to the largest venue to participate in the premiere. In premiere events in other cities, only some small creative staff can participate. , such as some supporting roles, or executive directors.
“These are very conventional publicity models. If you want to meet the real creative staff, I will find an opportunity to take you to see them in the future.”
At this time, Jimmy has to show his social status in front of his son.
His child indeed looked at his father with admiration, which made Jimmy feel proud for a while.
After the main creative staff in front briefly chatted a few words about the movie, they took the initiative to leave and let everyone watch the movie.
They are not the protagonists this time, the movie is.
The lights in the movie venue gradually dimmed, and the theater screen lit up. The first thing that appeared was the logo of the movie-related studio.
Everyone is familiar with these film-related logos.
However, this movie has a rather special LOGO, which is the official promotional LOGO of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
This LOGO is the logo of a game controller, and then turns into a meteor flying into the sky on the screen, lighting up the sky, and finally the GAMESTAR logo emerges.
“It’s Yusei! It’s Yusei!”
Jimmy's child lowered his voice happily.
There were also several very excited people around him.
They are also gamers. There are not many people like Jimmy in the venue who have no experience with video games. Most of them are gamers.
They are very sensitive to the appearance of this LOGO.
Jimmy is a bit hard to understand, it’s just an opening LOGO. What’s worth getting excited about?
He even heard someone whistle just now.
But I came here with my child. By the way, let’s take a look at what’s so good about this movie. He is not the protagonist here.
After the LOGOs of several major film producers were played, it officially entered the playback stage of the movie.
A piece of electronic dubbing with a hint of retro appeared. It was music called JUMP.
This piece of music does not exist in this world. It was created by Zhu Youxing based on his own memory and several well-known musicians.
At that time, those musicians were still surprised that Zhu Youxing had a good sense of music. This music was in line with the style of the movie and also had a retro literary atmosphere. It was hard for them to imagine how a game maker could be so good at music. .
At the same time as the music played, a subtitle also appeared.
2045, Columbus, Ohio, Building District.
After the subtitles ended, the official part of the movie officially entered. A building that seemed to be made of stacked containers of different sizes came into view. Not far away, a drone loaded with express boxes passed by.
Later, the protagonist appeared from a room, then slid down an iron rod to the lower area, and then gradually walked to the ground below. In the process, all kinds of different people appeared, and everyone was doing different things. matter.
“As expected of director Jesse, the beginning is concise and clear.”
At this time, Jimmy didn’t know much about video games, so he could only rely on his understanding of movies to see some of the features in the movie.
Jesse is a well-known director and one of the living fossils in the film industry. There are few people who can compare with him in terms of film shooting skills. Even just the first scene can fully reflect the character of Jesse. My ability.
Just looking at such an opening and the subtitles at the beginning basically set the tone of this movie.
This will be a future science fiction movie that also represents the current living conditions of the people at the bottom.
It is already quite difficult for an average director to present the general setting of the entire story with just this brief beginning.
“Why are there no games?”
At this time, the child next to Jimmy made a confused sound. He obviously wanted to see the familiar game scenes, but he was not particularly interested in the story of the movie itself.
Jimmy could only reply patiently: "It's not the time yet, you need to be patient and don't be anxious."
“Um…okay.”
Subsequently, the protagonist in the movie walked all the way to a van in the ruins, where there were some of his strange equipment.
‘I was born in 2027, before the corn syrup drought and bandwidth riots…’
In this passage, the protagonist will mainly begin to tell basic information about the world.
This information is dispensable, but if it is true, it can be quite important.
This is tantamount to paving the way for possible movie sequels in the future.
Ordinary film directors probably rarely do this kind of thing, because they don’t know whether the film they film will be successful, let alone whether anyone will be interested in giving them money to make a sequel to the film.
But for a great director like Jesse, shooting a sequel is a routine operation.
Even if he makes several films in a row, there are still people who beg him to continue making movies with money.
It’s okay, it’s not just a movie to please gamers, at least this one also tells about some worldview settings that have little to do with the game.
‘As for the earlier Arasaka Tower explosion, to me it is just like the history of the ancients. ’
This line was added by Takeyusei in the original movie. He intended to connect the basic world view of Ready Player One with cyberpunk, so he simply set some of the more distinctive world view timelines of Cyberpunk 2077 in Announcement here can also be considered as foreshadowing.
However, most people and players obviously will not realize this at this time.
After the protagonist explains the basic world view, he begins to talk about how people are gradually sinking into a virtual world, and this virtual world is called an oasis, where you can do whatever you want.
As the protagonist picks up a pair of VR glasses, a huge world follows the camera into the virtual world.
Until this moment, the movie has fully presented what it wants to express.
The camera travels through world after world, and every time a game world appears, many players in the cinema will cheer.
