Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 249 Isn't that Director Lu? His wife is gone?

On the first day of the exchange and learning, perhaps considering the physical condition of Qi Hui and the others, Paramount did not increase the intensity.

They first took Qi Hui and the others to see a virtual reality version of the movie "Interstellar".

That is, the VR version of "Interstellar".

This excited Guo Fan greatly, his face filled with ecstasy and excitement.

Lu Yang is alright; he's young and is often taken by others to learn foreign languages ​​by climbing over walls.

Although I haven't experienced it firsthand, I know what VR movies are.

But this was the first time Wu Jing and Lu Chuan had ever encountered such a thing, or even heard of it before.

I was so shocked by this high technology that I lost my composure.

Qi Hui flipped through the VR headset in his hand, and his gaze fell on the trash can next to the seat.

This is for preventing vomiting.

Modern VR devices are unlike those of a decade or two from now, which are often crude, heavy, and cause significant motion sickness... basically, dizziness.

Symptoms similar to motion sickness, seasickness, and airsickness.

With the introduction from Paramount staff, Qi Hui and his companions put on the heavy equipment and began an immersive experience of the VR version of "Interstellar".

Even though it's been more than a decade, this thing is everywhere now; even Japanese teachers are using VR technology in their short films.

But now, this is truly high technology.

Qi Hui experienced the true high technology of Hollywood and was filled with admiration.

Although the device is heavy and uncomfortable to wear, the user experience is better than the civilian versions he has used.

In addition, blockbuster movies like "Interstellar" immerse viewers completely, allowing them to enjoy a feast of light and shadow.

The special spacecraft is the one shown near the black hole and accretion disk.

Even with mental preparation, the immense sense of oppression still sent shivers down my spine.

Of course, it's not all good things.

Lu Chuan, being an elderly woman, couldn't take it anymore. She suffered from motion sickness, her head tilted to the side, and she started vomiting.

Now, the trash can next to the chair came in handy.

Fortunately, this person isolated Qi Hui and the other three, so he was sitting far away from them and the smell did not affect Qi Hui.

An hour or so later, after the movie ended, Qi Hui and the others got up and saw Lu Chuan, whose face was pale and whose expression was ashen.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have committed a terrible crime, filled with remorse, as if he were about to die.

"Oh?" Qi Hui teased, "Isn't this Director Lu? What's wrong with you? Did your wife run off with someone else?"

"Shut up!" Lu Chuan's pale face suddenly turned red, and she roared, but did not argue with Qi Hui any further.

It's not that I can't afford to offend them, or that I don't want to offend them, but that I'm not in the mood.

He actually made such a fool of himself in Hollywood, the holy land of cinema worldwide.

This made him feel that life had lost its light and hope.

He actually vomited here!
He felt that he had defiled the sacred temple and the sanctity of the free and democratic world.

He believed he should atone for this.

"Heh..." Wu Jing and the others chuckled and followed the staff to the training room, too lazy to pay any more attention to Lu Chuan.

They made no attempt to conceal their disdain and contempt.

Lu Chuan's obsequious and humble behavior in front of those white men made Wu Jing, Guo Fan, and Lu Yang despise him completely.

They used to care about saving face, but after that, these people, like Qi Hui, no longer cared about saving face at all.

Damn it, what a disgrace!

……

In the training room, Paramount staff explained the principles and history of VR technology to Qi Hui and his group in detail.

Qi Hui and the others listened attentively at first, but the more they listened, the more they felt something was wrong.

Their current role is that of directors, not technicians, so they don't need to know any principles, history, or technical procedures.

What they need to know is how VR technology can be used in movies.

However, unlike Qi Hui and the others, Lu Chuan remained consistently serious. She accepted everything the Paramount staff said without question.

Who knows why an art-house film director would be so serious about learning VR technology?

Are they going to make a VR version of an art film?
Isn't that one of those short films made by Japanese teachers?

Just as Qi Hui's thoughts were wandering, Guo Fan raised his hand and asked him to talk directly about the application of VR technology, its technical principles, and its technical approach, which these liberal arts students couldn't understand.

Unfortunately, Paramount had to start over, but their enthusiasm for lecturing was somewhat less than before.

These Chinese people are so annoying; they always want the best things as soon as they open their mouths.

Qi Hui and the others knew that this American was probably hiding a lot of things, and he probably wouldn't be willing to reveal the really good stuff.

After learning about VR, they were taken to visit Paramount's database.

Qi Hui and his companions saw many familiar things inside, such as the original script, storyboards, and storyboards from Mission: Impossible.

Wu Jing and Lu Yang like this.

There are also film negatives from "The Godfather," production logs, and other such things.

Qi Hui and his companions also truly witnessed what the Hollywood film industry was like.

Compared to Hollywood, China's film industry is not as well-developed, with a complete production process and structure.

This broadened the horizons of Qi Hui and his companions.

Originally, Qi Hui and his group were also going to learn about the production process of Hollywood animated films.

But when they checked the time, it was already evening, and the Paramount staff immediately said they had to leave work.

Ignoring Qi Hui and the others' desire to listen more or chat, he simply drove off.

Americans don't understand social etiquette; they just say what they think and do what they say.

"This is what a country with a sound legal system and cares about human rights should be like..." Lu Chuan sighed, her voice filled with deep envy.

"Heh... idiot." Qi Hui scoffed, making no attempt to hide his insult.

He actually thinks Americans care about human rights?

Does the human right to sell blood for survival just exist?
Or should we care about the human right to freely take drugs whenever and wherever they want?

Oh...right, it's Taro Luchuan, how could he think that his American daddy's products are bad?
"You...!" Lu Chuan was furious, the veins on her neck bulging, as if she wanted to fight Qi Hui to the death.

He could tolerate Qi Hui's mockery in the past, but he could no longer tolerate Qi Hui's words about the sacredness and aspirations in his heart.

"Any objections?" Qi Hui sneered, clenching his fist, the sound of his knuckles cracking slowly echoing.

Lu Chuan's expression changed slightly, and her momentum weakened instantly. She felt a slight pain in her trapezius muscle.

His injury from today hasn't healed yet!

"Alright, alright, let's stick together and not argue. We're all family..." Yan Tao said a few meaningless words.

But he had said these words several times, and his tone was not harsh, and his voice was not loud.

His party spirit and principles may not be the strongest, but they are not bad either.

How could he possibly look up to someone like Lu Chuan, who is so obsequious and fawning towards the Americans?
If he weren't a government employee, he would have slapped him long ago.

Damn it, that's so shameful!
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle... Lu Chuan gritted her teeth angrily, ran a few steps away, and hid on the outside of Yan Tao and Kuang Jie.

"How are you feeling today?" Kuang Jie asked with a smile, changing the subject. "Any thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang couldn't help but exclaim, "Hollywood's film industry is so powerful..."

“Yes.” Wu Jing nodded and sighed, “We are too weak; we are no match for them at all.”

"Over the years, Hollywood blockbusters have dominated the domestic market, either taking the top spot or coming in second."

"Sometimes they even take all three spots!"

“That’s true.” Guo Fan’s tone was somewhat heavy: “There are still three or four months left in the year, and our movie box office is still firmly occupied by Hollywood’s ‘Titanic’.”

"This is just an old movie that was re-released more than ten years ago, and we were beaten up like this..."

Seeing their sighs and lamentations, Qi Hui laughed and said, "You guys... Hollywood may seem invincible, but it's actually in a precarious situation."

"Tsk tsk... Their lives are numbered."

"Hollywood is already showing signs of fatigue and will inevitably decline completely within 5 years."
