Chapter 435
Tan Xiao is actually more confident about movies about the end of the world, because in his previous life as a star, he had starred in the apocalyptic trilogy written by Yuan Jing, and he had also personally participated in Yuan Jing's special effects production process. Although he did not want to copy that apocalyptic trilogy, it would not be that difficult.
Tan Xiao also plans to make a series this time, because the world of doomsday is too grand, and it is impossible to tell the whole story of the doomsday world in two hours. After finalizing all the links, he simply posted a message on Weibo:
The next movie, Doomsday 1, stay tuned.
He now has tens of millions of fans on Weibo, most of whom are fans of his career and looks. However, Tan Xiao himself does not usually take care of his Weibo. He only posts a message when he remembers it. Once this message is posted, it immediately attracts many fans and netizens to watch.
"That's great. Director Tan is finally going to start a new drama. I'm looking forward to it. Director Tan really keeps his word. This time it's a special effects blockbuster, and there's more than one. It's really great."
"Forget it, I think he's just being arrogant. Can any director in China make a special effects movie like that?"
"Get lost, you upstairs! We in China have developed holographic virtual technology, why don't you let foreign countries try it? What era is this? You are still using the old tricks. Get rid of the water in your brain."
"Anyway, I'm not afraid of Director Tan making a special effects movie. What's the relationship between Director Tan and President Wen? Please support me, President Wen. The special effects will definitely be amazing. Haha, I'll buy tickets to support the movie as soon as it's released."
"Oh, President Wen? Maybe President Wen will kick out Director Tan, who is a gigolo, halfway through the filming."
"As expected, when you are famous, you will have a lot of gossip. Look at all the people there. What does it mean to be a gigolo? Look at how much money Director Tan made from the Half-Demon movie for our President Wen. I wonder how many people would like to be a gigolo like him. Show me one, too."
"That's right. This time, President Wen doesn't have to spend money. There are also many investors who are vying to send money to Director Tan."
"Oh, so you want to throw it away after using it, President Wen?"
"Everyone above, get out of here, let's get back to the topic of the movie itself. I wonder what kind of apocalypse the director wants to film this time, zombies? Natural disasters? Or alien invasions?"
After Half-Demon was released, Tan Xiao brought his people to set up a company and registered it under Wen's Group, which was considered a subsidiary of Wen's Group. This news has not been leaked out, otherwise there would surely be another wave of heated discussions on the Internet, and further confirming the special relationship between Wen Yuanjing and Tan Xiao.
In the eyes of Yuan Jing and Tan Xiao, the two of them are one and the same, so there is no need to separate them. Being affiliated with Wen's company can also protect Tan Xiao's company from a wave of attacks.
This company serves Tan Xiao exclusively and is only used by Tan Xiao to make movies. It's that simple.
No one in the Wen Group had any objection. Just looking at how many billions the movie Half-Demon, which was exclusively invested by the Wen Group, earned for the group, they supported it unconditionally. No one can go against money.
However, before the opening ceremony of the new movie, Tan Xiao first appeared at Wen's press conference, and he attended with Yuan Jing.
"As everyone expects, Wen's will officially launch the holographic virtual game cabin. After the press conference, the official website will be open for ordering. All you have to do is move your fingers, and in a few days, the game cabin will be delivered to your door by professionals and installed for you, and any difficult questions will be answered."
"In addition to announcing the official launch of the gaming cabin, this press conference will also announce one more thing, which is that the relevant national departments will work together with Wen's to create a real virtual second world."
The launch of the game cabin was sensational enough, but I didn't expect that there would be even more exciting news at this press conference. Is the virtual second world the same as the future virtual world they imagined? If it can be realized, then China will quickly enter the future world.
Not only were there many media reporters attending the press conference, who wanted to get the first-hand information, but it was also broadcast live simultaneously. The number of viewers had been increasing continuously. When it was announced that a virtual second world was to be created, the number increased sharply, almost overwhelming the network, which had now increased its capacity a lot.
Many people with foresight have realized how much change Wen's virtual technology will bring to the world, and this time there is a country standing up to endorse Wen's, so Wen's will be invincible.
Wen's press conference has always attracted attention from all parties, especially from bigwigs in the gaming industry. Wen's exclusive mastery of holographic technology has forced other game companies into a dead end. Apart from extending an olive branch to Wen's to seek cooperation, they can only wait for the day of bankruptcy and closure.
These game companies refused to give up. For example, Wanshi had already lost a lawsuit to Wenshi. The evidence provided by Wenshi was enough to prove that Wanshi had stolen Wenshi's games. Wanshi paid a lot of money in compensation, but money was a small matter. The loss of reputation was greater, which caused many game enthusiasts to protest against Wanshi.
Therefore, Wan hated Wen and Wen Yuanjing the most and wanted to bring down Wen at any cost. Wan had joined forces with many people behind the scenes, just waiting to see the good show of Wen. But when the second news was announced, Wan's president slumped down on the chair, muttering: "It's over, it's over..."
Competing with the Wen family is legitimate business competition. It's completely fine to use any means behind the scenes as long as they are not discovered. But now the state has intervened. Once the private means are exposed, the Wan family will be in big trouble.
He stared at the screen intently, watching the representative sent by the country answering reporters' questions. The representative praised President Wen on the spot, saying that this time the virtual second world was not only a cooperation between the country and Wen's, but also welcomed companies from all sides to join in the construction of the second virtual world.
His cell phone rang, and President Wan answered the calls one by one. His face became even uglier after answering them. Everyone on the phone couldn't wait to cut off ties with Wan's and no longer participate in Wan's plans. Instead of cooperating with Wan's, they might as well cooperate with Wen's and the country. It was said at the press conference that all parties are welcome to participate in the construction of the second world, so what are they waiting for?
In the future, this piece of cake will be bigger and have better market prospects than before. Only by participating in it early can we avoid being left behind by the tide of the times.
The press conference was still going on when someone came to Wen Haodong's company and took him away in front of the company's employees. How could the employees dare to stop him? Didn't they see that it was a public business? But what exactly did their President Wen do wrong?
"Our Premier Wen is different from the other Premier Wen. Today, Premier Wen of Wen's is holding a press conference. This press conference will probably go down in history."
"What do you think our Premier Wen has done wrong?"
"It's probably related to the Wen Clan. What's the most important thing about the Wen Clan?"
"Is he thinking of stealing Wen's holographic technology? From what we heard in this press conference, Wen has long cooperated with the country. Doesn't that mean he is doing something under the nose of the country? Damn! What are you waiting for? Resign now and leave."
He Xuezhen hadn't seen her son come back for a few days, so she went to the company and discovered that there was hardly any sign of him. Upon asking, she learned that her son had been arrested. He Xuezhen was so frightened that she immediately called Wen Kai for help, asking him to save her son as soon as possible. How could her son be taken away?
In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with her son. It was the Wen family who didn't give him a chance, so it was everyone else who was wrong, not her son.
Wen Kai finally realized that he was still a father. He climbed out of the holographic game cabin and made a few phone calls to inquire about the situation. Others told him the truth because he was the son of Mr. Wen and the father of the president of Wen's Corporation. Wen Haodong's crime could be serious or minor. At the very least, it was stealing the secrets of Wen's Corporation. At the most serious level, it was stealing state secrets. After all, the holographic field had been taken over by the state. What was the difference between Wen Haodong's behavior and undermining the state's foundation?
When Wen Kai heard the seriousness of the situation, his desire to save his son faded. He scolded He Xuezhen, asking why she had to steal the secrets of her eldest brother's company. How could he steal the holographic technology? What did he want to do with it?
"You always said how Haodong respected his elder brother, is this how he respects him? He is trying to undermine his elder brother behind his back? I think he wants to destroy his elder brother. It was all because I was blind and listened to your nonsense."
"I'm telling you, you are not allowed to use my name to interfere in this matter. It's the state that wants to deal with him, not Yuan Jing. Whatever the higher-ups decide, it's up to them. I don't have the power to reach the sky."
He Xuezhen burst into tears. Her son was her support, not her husband Wen Kai. She knew it by looking at how he only cared about his own enjoyment and totally ignored his son. "Haodong didn't mean it. Isn't Yuan Jing cooperating with the country? As long as Yuan Jing said a few words for Haodong, Haodong would suffer less. When Haodong comes out, I will make him apologize to Yuan Jing and never compete with Yuan Jing for anything again."
Wen Kai frowned: "So they fought over it before? Forget it, why am I talking to you about this now? I'm telling you, I won't let Yuan Jing beg for mercy. Haodong has already fallen into the trap, and I won't let you drag Yuan Jing into it. Not to mention me, but the shareholders of Wen's Corporation, who is willing to let Haodong go?"
He Xuezhen's face turned pale. She knew that the shareholders knew about Haodong's situation and she didn't know how they would scold the mother and son.
Although this matter has not been exposed, everyone in the circle who should know about it knows about it, and they have privately despised and laughed at He Xuezhen and her son. In the past, this mother and son pretended to be innocent, but could they change their origins as mistresses and illegitimate children? This time, they actually teamed up with outsiders to harm Wen Yuanjing, but not only did they fail, but they also got themselves arrested. If they were to say anything, there are only two words: they deserved it.
He Xuezhen regretted it, especially after the Wen family cooperated with the country, she regretted it very much. If Wen Haodong had not done such a thing and wanted to go against Wen Yuanjing, even if the relationship between the brothers was not harmonious, as a member of the Wen family, Wen Haodong could have enjoyed many benefits.
But now not only Wen Haodong was put in jail, but she was also laughed at when she walked out. However, these people flattered him in front of Wen Kai, hoping that Wen Kai could say a few good words for them in front of Wen Yuanjing. But when they were in front of her, they changed their faces. If her relationship with Wen Yuanjing was not so strained, Wen Yuanjing would at least give her some face for his father's sake.
But now, because of their greed, they and their son have become the laughing stock of others.
Yuan Jing had actually been watching Wen Haodong's little tricks, but he didn't stop him. Why should he stop him from committing suicide? The laboratory was already under the protection of personnel sent by the state, and the protection level was very high. When Wen Haodong's hand just reached in, the relevant state personnel discovered it and were waiting to find out the tail behind it.
When the people in the laboratory finally took action, the net that had been spread out was about to be closed, and Wen Haodong behind the scenes was caught. Not only Wen Haodong, but also the president of Wan's company was arrested. Some foreign forces were also involved in this, so it was not unfair for Wen Haodong to be arrested.
Tan Xiao asked curiously, "Didn't your father ask you to plead for Wen Haodong?"
Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows: "Since the incident, I have only received one call asking me to go back for dinner. He didn't mention anything about Wen Haodong. He used to love his son Wen Haodong very much, but he didn't expect that he would just let go of him after something really happened."
In the past, Tan Xiao didn't know much about Wen Kai just from what Yuan Jing said, but now he finally understands what kind of person he is. To be honest, his two sons didn't take him too seriously. What he cares about most is himself, and no one should interfere with his enjoyment of eating, drinking and having fun.
Selfish and irresponsible.
"Grandpa Wen is very foresighted. He saw through his son early on, so he trained Wen Yuanjing very early." This shows that the old man's choice was very correct. Unfortunately, the plot caused the outstanding successor selected and trained by the old man to be ruined by the male protagonist Lin Yunze, and the Wen family fell into the hands of the illegitimate son Wen Haodong. With Wen Haodong's methods, Tan Xiao did not think that he could carry forward the Wen family.
Yuan Jing nodded: "Yes, so Wen Yuanjing had deep feelings for the old man, but it was a pity that the old man was too worried, so his health collapsed early. In fact, it's good this way, at least he was at peace when he left."
The two of them just sighed and put it aside. One had to focus on the holographic game cabin, while the other had to start shooting a new movie, and this time they had to hold a serious opening ceremony.
As soon as the press conference ended that day, the sales page for the game cabin on Wen’s official website was displayed. Just looking at the game cabin displayed on the webpage makes people feel very high-end and futuristic, so grab it quickly!
The price of a holographic game cabin is as high as 188,888, but the 10,000 game cabins that were put into use were sold out in the blink of an eye. People whose hands were a beat slower just clicked on it, but the page changed to "The product you purchased no longer exists". They were so angry that they wanted to smash their phones. Which bastard had such fast hands that he could be faster than them?
After all, I have been single for more than 20 years!
There were people online discussing that the price of gaming cabins was too high, but then many people rushed to the Internet to complain that there were only 10,000 gaming cabins, which were not enough to grab. No, at least 100,000 cabins should be released.
On the one hand, they hoped that Wen's would release more game cabins, and on the other hand, they offered high prices to purchase the game cabins. The price was less than 190,000 yuan, but someone directly offered 500,000 yuan. As long as someone offered, the money would be transferred immediately.
This scene shocked many onlookers.
