"Warm Light in the Palm" - Who Will Redeem the Entertainment Godmother (Twenty...)

Just like what defeated instant noodles wasn't better-tasting instant noodles, but food delivery.

What defeated brick-and-mortar stores was not the more affordable brick-and-mortar stores, but e-commerce.

What will defeat traditional cinemas will not be other strong cinema chains, but a brand new movie-watching mode – VR cinema.

This VR cinema is not a traditional cinema that adds VR experience, but a brand-new technology that completely compresses the giant screen effect, 3D effect, and immersive effect of traditional movie viewing into a thin and light device.

It occupies only a small amount of real space, yet its expressive effect surpasses that of a real cinema.

Traditional offline movie viewing requires setting aside real time, and remote towns may not even have movie theaters yet.

Watching movies online completely reduces the quality of the film; on a small screen, you can only see the plot and can't see any special effects.

As for a home theater, you need at least a home, and that home needs to be big enough to house the movie equipment and screen.

It's not entirely wrong to say that watching a movie is a rather luxurious activity.

Its luxury isn't in the 30 or 40 yuan ticket price, but in the freedom of time, ample space, and a good starting point.

Electronic technology has always been a technology for the common people, and the VR cinema machine newly launched by ChipEasy is aimed at this group of people who have difficulty watching movies.

A brand new era of movie viewing has officially begun!

But VR film and television technology is not a new technology, and no one thinks it can threaten the film industry. So what makes Xinyi New Technology dare to say that it will lead a new era of movie viewing?

Because the VR cinema machine first generation launched by Xinyi New Technology is priced at 4888 yuan for the entry-level model.

From a realistic perspective, 4888 might be a worker's monthly salary, or even two months' salary, which is not cheap.

But when applied to electronic devices, it's not an exorbitant price.

The moment Qiu Yi was announced as the winner, Xinyi New Technology launched a powerful promotional campaign, with the company personally congratulating Qiu Yi on her award and unveiling the mystery of the new product.

The first generation of the "Core Shadow" series adopts brand-new film technology, focusing on a cinema-level viewing experience.

The official Xinying (芯影) has acquired countless classic films and remade them using Xinying's proprietary technology, making them fully compatible with Xinying devices.

The new phone is now available for pre-order. Those who pre-order will enjoy a month of free classic movie viewing, as well as various other benefits.

The new film "Ouyang Tu and the Moon Shadow Girl: The Sealed Vessel," produced entirely by Corefilm Technology, will be exclusively released on Corefilm Cinema during the Chinese New Year holiday.

People from all walks of life are welcome to attend. Tickets will be given away to the first 3,000 people who pre-order.

...

Huo Yueze and Huo Yu's phones were both smashed.

Ordinary netizens are not sensitive to this; they can only vaguely know that Xinyi has launched a new product, which seems to be related to watching movies. It's described in a lot of fancy terms, but they don't know what it is.

People in the cutting-edge film industry were all blown away.

In summary, the VR cinema device launched by ChipEa this time has two main focuses: platform and technology.

If it only introduces technology, that's fine; film production companies can simply abandon their existing technology and adapt to it.

But it not only launches technology, it also builds platforms, which will be a devastating blow to film companies that control cinemas.

The reason why Huo's films are so powerful is that they not only have the "soft power" of film production, but also the "hard power" of offline cinemas brought by real estate.

The other major cinema chains, while outwardly hostile, secretly maintain close relationships and share resources.

No matter which production company made the movie, it definitely had to be shown in theaters. If you wanted it to be released, no one would dare to offend the Huo family.

Entering the film industry is like entering Huo's hunting ground. No one ever took a small fry like Six Plus Six seriously, but what do they see now?

The number of haters on Xinyi Technology is more than the combined number of haters on Qiu Tianyi and Sun Manli. The news caused an instant uproar.

Hey, you're a phone seller, what are you doing making movies? Go back to selling your phones, okay?

Who would be out of their mind to spend 4888 yuan on this thing? A movie ticket only costs 30 or 40 yuan, and if there's a promotion, it's only 9.9 yuan.

And from what you're saying, it's not even free for members; you're going to sell tickets like physical cinemas.

Are you crazy? If everyone has to buy a ticket, why would I go to your place to watch it?

The appearance of the first-generation Core Shadow phone immediately sparked a series of ridicules, but ridicule is just that—roasting. It generates buzz, and if it resonates with those who are interested, it might just make some people want it.

The haters of Xinyi are all following the trend to mock Xinying for its network cable business and its ticket-selling behavior, but those with sharp minds have seen through Xinying's intentions.

It's not selling movie tickets at all, it's selling movie theaters.

Bringing a downtown movie theater into your home for 4888 yuan—nothing has a wider reach.

It's not comparing costs with movie tickets, but with the cost of movie theaters.

If it succeeds, VR cinema will become the third tier of distribution channels, alongside cinemas and online platforms, and undoubtedly the most powerful tier.

The impact on online streaming is relatively small, since it deals with low-priced products and has nothing to do with those who deal with high-quality products.

Even though VR projectors are small, they still have a physical size and can't be as portable as a mobile phone. They also can't be updated or discounted as quickly as mobile phones, so they can't replace the mobile phone's position.

Cinemas, like brick-and-mortar stores on the verge of collapse due to e-commerce, are facing unprecedented challenges!

...

Upon receiving the message from his subordinate, Huo Yu's face turned pale, and he suddenly looked in Qiu Tianyi's direction.

But there, only a few young people whom he would normally disregard smiled at him.

My lord, even in modern times, things change.

Qiu Yi stood up and went on stage to accept the award.

When the news was first announced, the entire venue was silent, but when she stood on the award stage, the atmosphere team erupted in applause for her.

After excitedly introducing her work and its achievements, the host jokingly asked, "Director Xiao Qiu, do you know who the presenter was who gave you the award?"

Qiu Tianyi asked curiously, playing along perfectly: "Who is it?"

The host smiled and turned to her to announce: "Please welcome Ms. Song Qinsong!"

Others call him "teacher" as a formality, but Qiu Yi really calls him "teacher."

When Qiu Yi discovered that it was her own teacher who presented her with the award, she immediately covered her face in surprise. Wow, what a surprise! I never expected this!

Despite the awkwardness of meeting an acquaintance in a formal setting, Song Qinsong presented the award to his outstanding disciple with a standard smile.

Unexpectedly, they suffered a crushing defeat during the hugging segment. Both of them wanted to hug first, but they had no chemistry and struggled to find the right angle, like crabs fighting, without being able to find a starting point.

Finally, Song Qinsong gave up first, lowered her arm, and let Qiu Tianyi pull her into her arms.

After a very respectful and friendly hug, Qiu Tianyi smiled and looked at her teacher: "Teacher, seeing me now, what would you like to say?"

Song Qinsong took a deep breath, feeling utterly hopeless: "If you cause trouble in the future, don't reveal my name."

Both in front of and behind the screen, the two masters and apprentices on the opposing lane burst into laughter instantly.

Despite the considerable controversy, it was not surprising that Qiu Tianyi was awarded the title of Best New Director.

Her profit conversion rate is so high that even veteran directors can't match it. Director awards require comprehensive consideration, and she was originally the most popular choice to be nominated for the newcomer award.

What was unexpected was the bizarre event of four nominations in one subject, which overshadowed the legitimacy of her award. Putting aside prejudice, she truly deserved the prize.

Song Qinsong handed the trophy to her, and then it was time for the thank-you segment.

As Qiu Yi accepted the trophy, she began to reminisce about her journey.

"First of all, I want to thank my teacher. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Furthermore, I want to thank the viewers in front of the screen. Without your support, 6+6 would not have achieved what it has today."

"Finally, I would like to thank my family, friends, employees, and everyone who has supported me along the way."

If her mother were still alive, she would thank her mother, who would be very happy.

But since her mother had been gone for a long time, Qiu Yi skipped that part, raised the trophy, and said to everyone, "I wish everyone a good life."

...

A public opinion storm that could have triggered a tsunami was instead overshadowed by another tsunami.

The Huo family members had no interest in staying there and left before even waiting for Cheng Yanxi's award results.

As expected, Cheng Yanxi did not receive the award.

The awards ceremony night, though called a night of stars, was more of a night of heartbreak, as countless nominated but unsuccessful artists were heartbroken.

Sun Manli ultimately didn't win the Best Actress award. Before the competition, I felt it was only fair, and that winning wouldn't be a good thing anyway, as I'd definitely be criticized for it being undeserved. But when she actually lost, I was actually a little disappointed...

Xu Jia and Liu Banqing are just like her; they are really looking forward to winning an award. Can't it be that in such a fierce competition, the judges just close their eyes and let them pass by?

But the judging panel was really tight-knit, leaving no one out. The three people who were tricked by the organizers were left with very mixed feelings.

Seeing the three dejected individuals, Qiu Yi, the only winner, smiled and said, "I can lend you my trophy."

Everyone: ...

Are you very proud of yourself?

Just as the three were filled with murderous intent, Qiu Tianyi calmly assured them, "Don't worry, consider today's award as something I owe you. One day, I will make sure each of you receives the award you deserve."

The three of them were disappointed, but it was like missing the lottery number by just one digit. Although they were annoyed, they weren't too upset. Upon hearing this, they immediately cheered up.

Victory celebration banquet!

After the awards ceremony, Pang Yuzhu wanted to invite them, but they politely declined, saying they already had other plans and would talk about it another day.

Hearing that Qiu Yi was going to go on stage to receive an award, everyone connected to her watched on TV. When they saw her win the award, they immediately cheered and jumped for joy, determined to celebrate.

Qiu Yi was so happy that she got a three-day holiday. Everyone was celebrating, and it didn't matter how late we stayed up tonight.

He Xinxin, adhering to the elderly's lifestyle, politely declined, emphasizing that early to bed and early to rise is good for health. Han Tieying also didn't want to participate in such a frivolous activity.

Du Yanchen was different; she really loved to have fun. She quickly went to Qiu Tianyi's house. That girl had moved to a villa; the place was huge, and it wouldn't be a problem to stay overnight.

Shen Junjiao has been staying with Qiu Tianyi recently. Seeing her group of good friends, she feels a lot of pressure. Who would have thought that her niece, who was so unruly when she was young, would grow up to be so successful?

The other three founders of 6+6 also came. Since it's a holiday tomorrow, why not get together?

Qiu Yi never shortchanged herself; once she had money, she hired a cook for herself.

But at this time, the aunt was asleep, so the group took the ingredients and secretly went to the terrace for a barbecue.

Sun Manli has strict requirements for her figure and generally doesn't eat indiscriminately, but the atmosphere of eating together with a group of people is too much of a test of willpower. Maybe she should indulge herself occasionally?

A group of people gathered together, chatting happily. Qiu Yi held her breath while soaking in water, quietly waiting for the bubbles to burst in her mouth.

Much later, everyone realized that the boss had actually gone off to the side instead of celebrating her success. They went to pull her aside and said, "Why don't you give an acceptance speech? Don't do that kind of TV show routine."

As Qiu Yi swallowed the now mild, non-bubbly, and purely sweet sparkling water, she sincerely wished everyone: "May all your dreams come true, and may you all become stronger than you are today tomorrow."

The crowd immediately booed, "How hypocritical!"

Qiu Yi put it another way: "May all my wishes come true, and may I always be a stronger person tomorrow than I am today."

"Hahaha."

Everyone finally burst into laughter; it seemed the boss's adolescence was incredibly long.

In the autumn, Yi smiled happily, looked up at the sky, and saw the low-hanging stars that seemed within reach.

She put the rest of the sparkling water back into her mouth, but stopped abruptly.

The people around her were still laughing and making a ruckus, and no one noticed her slight change.

Ye Xiqing slapped her forehead, slowly sat up straight, and glanced at her reflection in the glass bottle out of the corner of her eye.

She looked at "her", and "she" looked at her too.

In an instant, both the person inside and outside the glass smiled.

It's amazing! The wish I just made has come true.
