Chapter 708 Miscellaneous

"Junior sister, let's go again when we have time. I didn't expect there would be so many people in the museum today." After returning home, Liu Hai said to his junior sister.

"I'm fine. The more people come to see it, the more meaningful it is for you to do this." The junior sister looked at her senior brother with a smile.

Men and women sometimes look at things from different perspectives. Liu Hai thought that visiting a museum was simply to see the things in the museum, while the junior sister looked at the museum itself.

Liu Hai nodded slightly when he heard this: "These are all passed down by our ancestors. Some have experienced hundreds or thousands of years. If we don't protect them now, it will be difficult for our sons, grandsons and future generations to see these things."

"Yeah!" The junior sister nodded.

"I'm afraid the Western film market this year is very lively. I don't know which movie will win the box office championship this year." The junior sister sat on the sofa and spoke again.

"It should be a fantasy movie, after all, the investment is so large." Liu Hai guessed.

The European and American film market is particularly cruel this year. Although it is not Christmas yet, other film companies have already felt the chill.

There are two big productions this year. The first one is the first orc invasion adapted from the fantasy series of novels written by the great fantasy writer Jack.

The stills of this movie have frequently appeared in all media around the world.

The movie stills show a knight fighting a minotaur.

The difference is that there is only one knight, and there is a group of minotaurs in front.

And the knight also launched a counterattack, and this knight has no mount, only a two-handed sword.

The second movie is the doomsday theme of Resident Evil created by the famous science fiction writer Mr. Z.

Although the shooting time of this movie is not long, it can be said to be relatively short, but the investment is huge.

This movie has also begun to be promoted all over the world.

Finally, there is the animated movie Gundam.

The pressure these three movies have brought to other film companies' movies can be imagined.

Of course, other film companies have also increased their publicity efforts in order to make their investments not go to waste.

Finally, Christmas has arrived. This is the most important festival in Europe and the United States every year. All businesses are promoting sales, and children have enough pocket money in their hands.

There is another place that is full on Christmas, that is, the game hall.

Electronic games have become a hot spot for wealth growth all over the world.

According to relevant predictions, the video game industry will exceed $200 billion in 1981, $300 billion in 1982, and $500 billion in 1985.

This set of data is calculated based on the growth rate of video games.

The first fantasy movie mainly tells the story of a scout team of the human coalition being hunted by the wolf cavalry of the orcs.

This scout team includes dwarves, elves, gnomes, and humans.

The professions are warriors, knights, thieves, archers, and mysterious mages.

The mysterious mage here is not an elemental mage, but a summoner who can summon the strongest creature nearby to fight.

The elemental mages set in fantasy novels are very rare, and in Western fantasy novels, mages are also top-level existences.

The plot is also a battle royale plot. The wolf cavalry of the orc army is also a scout team, responsible for clearing all human frontier outposts and scouts.

This human scout team discovered a large-scale invasion of orcs, but the outpost used to transmit information had been broken by the wolf cavalry.

It is impossible to outrun the orc wolf riders along the road, so the scout team chooses to cross the mountains.

Anyway, there are only three people left in the team of ten people in the movie, a human knight, a dwarf warrior, and an elf mysterious wizard.

The wolf riders in the movie are all wearing cosplay costumes, and all of them are large actors who wear this kind of costume. The wolf riders have a human-like face but furry ears.

The wolf riders here are very different from the werewolves in traditional European and American fantasy.

The wolf riders wear leather armor and have thick hair on their bodies. Their mounts are wilderness giant wolves. The most difficult shooting point is these wilderness giant wolves. Because they are all props, every action is almost shot frame by frame.

Anyway, everyone who watched this movie was very nervous throughout the whole process, because these ferocious orcs in the back were so cruel.

The first person to die was the dwarf thief who was knocked to the ground by the wolf rider with a mace, and then several wolf riders' mounts directly bit the dwarf to pieces.

Many viewers were shocked.

Although the human scouts showed a fearless spirit of sacrifice, they were still killed by the wolf cavalry. They were torn in half by the wolf cavalry.

Then the wolf cavalry's stone axe smashed his head into the mud, and then the stone axe was picked up and covered with blood.

The most touching scene was a knight in the human scout team who launched a counterattack without hesitation and fell off the cliff with two wolf cavalrymen.

At the end of the film, the scout team had just delivered the news to the northern fortress of humans. As soon as the fortress closed the door, they saw the orc army all over the mountains.

For the audience of the magic movie, the whole theater can be said to be quiet.

In the Resident Evil: X-Virus, people screamed throughout the whole process. The most terrifying scene was a mother who saw her daughter and reached out to pick her up. But the next second, her daughter's eyes turned red and she bit her mother's ear. Her little hands also grew sharp claws and grabbed her back and neck fiercely.

This scene scared everyone in the cinema because it was too sudden.

When the girl was beaten to death in the movie, it was found that the mother's head was bloody and half of her neck was missing.

There was a last trace of confusion in the mother's eyes, and then the next second the mother's eyes turned red, but she was hit in the head at once. The successive changes scared all the moviegoers to scream.

Many people subconsciously touched their necks.

There was another person living in the apartment. He passed by the security guard of the apartment. The next second, he was thrown to the ground by the security guard and bitten madly.

There were also people who took taxis. The driver dropped the steering wheel in an instant, then rushed to the back seat and bit the people in the back seat. I didn't see how it happened, but I could see blood stains on the taxi glass, which scared the audience and made them scream.

Then the taxi lost control.

Then Christmas night was also the busiest day. There were sounds of ambulances everywhere, because some of the audience who watched the Resident Evil movie were scared and went to the hospital.

There were also people who stared at the driver through the rearview mirror in the car when they were in the taxi, and the driver was scared and almost called the police.

If you want to say that it is not so tense and scary, it is Gundam.

The next day, the newspapers were all about ambulances. According to statistics, more than 120 people in London watched the movie last night and went to the emergency room.

Then the box office exploded. Many people did not believe in it and thought that a movie was so scary.

Sometimes people's competitive spirit is so strange. When they see others being scared and going to the hospital, they feel gloating, and then they also want to show their courage to prove that they are not like those cowards.

Then I entered the cinema and was so scared that I screamed.

Although my legs and neck were a little weak at the entrance of the cinema, I didn't mind bragging at all. Look! How cool my buddy is.

Then I had to show off to my friends, see, I was not scared by this horror movie, who dares to go?

So much so that later, when friends chatted with each other, they would first ask if you had seen this movie. If you haven't seen it, then you are a coward, you are scared by the media, but we all went to see it.

Which friend can tolerate this! Then I also walked into the cinema.

Of course, there are also some haters who asked the authorities to ban the screening of this movie.

But how much is included in the box office of the movie, from the tax at the national level, to the income of the theater, to the film company that invested in the movie.

Then there are lawyers who stand up and express their willingness to unite the victims and sue the film company for medical expenses.

When Liu Hai saw the news, it was already December 27th. First of all, we are 12 hours ahead of New York.

In addition, there are day and night and the time of information transmission.

However, after seeing this news, Liu Hai thought that this might be a hype by the cinema chain or the film company itself, because such a claim would never succeed.

A few days later, unexpectedly, during the Christmas season in North America, the box office champion of the week was Resident Evil, and the big-investment Orc Invasion ranked second.

No matter how scary the media reported this movie was, it did not stop people from pouring into the cinema.

There were also taxi drivers holding signs to protest the film company.

Unknowingly, it was 1981, and this year's New Year's Eve was February 4.

With the continuous opening up, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting more and more intense. In addition, with the gradual increase in national income and the increasing abundance of material supplies, most of the material supplies are no longer controlled.

The private economy has begun to become active, which can be seen from the increasing number of private stores everywhere.

Liu Hai was also busy in December, mainly involving investments in various parts, Fenghuo Technology Company, animal protection, traditional Chinese medicine, my junior sister's drug research institute, aircraft manufacturing plant, several museums, and continued funding for outstanding students in poor areas.

Several of the long-term investments had plans before, but time is changing, and so are the plans.

"The matter has been investigated, do you have any suggestions?" In early January 1981, Sun Aiguo gave Liu Hai a confidential document about the last safety accident.

Liu Hai opened it and took a look. Last time, this guy didn't expect that he would also go through security checks with his leader, so he fell. Later, he found that this guy had sold a lot of things.

Of course, his superior was also arrested. He was a person who fled abroad in the 1940s, but the last superior was not arrested.

"I think it is necessary to restrict the identities of our cadres' families. Now many people like to study abroad. When these students have been in contact with foreign countries for too long, they may become pawns of some people." After reading it, Liu Hai thought of something and said.

"Your suggestion is good. Why didn't I think of this? Needless to say, if you go to someone else's territory, you will definitely be more easily used by others, and you may even be set up by someone." Sun Aiguo slapped his head when he heard Liu Hai say this.

Liu Hai certainly knew that a large number of people were actually set up and then got deeper and deeper into the trap.

Of course, there were also those who took the initiative to move closer. Although our country is now very developed, there is still a gap between the living standards and other aspects and Western countries.

Take the average salary for example. The average salary of a bald eagle can reach several thousand dollars a year, while our country is only a few.

"I will write a suggestion on this matter right away. We must ensure the purity of our cadre team."

Liu Hai nodded when he heard this. The level of the factory director is high enough and the influence is large enough. Moreover, the leaders of the older generation are still there, so it is easy to pass these.

If we wait a few more years...!

"It is better to trust the security guards trained by our factory."

"In the future, no matter which leader from outside comes to our side, we don't want their entourage to come in. It's too scary. Even the cadres in charge of safety at this level have problems."

"Fortunately, our factory adheres to the bottom line of safety." Speaking of this matter, Sun Aiguo got angry, and Comrade Liu Hai was almost exposed.

The security guards in the factory are all trained by themselves, and a large part of them are soldiers from remote rural areas in the team received.

These soldiers in remote rural areas, whether they are demobilized or retired, will definitely not find such good jobs as they do now.

Moreover, these soldiers in remote rural areas have simple social relations and have no chance to contact these people abroad.

And to be honest, rural soldiers, especially those in remote areas, are more hardworking and must cherish such good jobs.

Moreover, security personnel must be rough. If anyone dares not to accept the inspection, they must be stopped by anyone. If they dare to make trouble, they will be knocked to the ground first.

If security personnel do not have blood and decisive means, they are not worthy of security.

"This incident is definitely not an isolated case. It will definitely happen again in the future. After all, everyone has what they want. If they just take some common information, they can exchange it for wealth and glory. Many people can't resist this temptation. We can only fill in the gaps in supervision."

"For those who are found out, they must be severely punished, and during the confidentiality training, these cases must be made public to let other people who reach out think about the consequences of their own reach out." Liu Hai said.

"Heavy punishment is for sure. If they hadn't been caught in the act, who would have thought that such a family would produce such a person?" Sun Aiguo knew the man who was caught, and his family was all of good origin.

"Human nature is like this. Greed doesn't discriminate between people. They just want more after they get it." Liu Hai shook his head.

"You are really capable. When you told me about the plot of the movie "Resident Evil" last year, I knew it was a good movie. I didn't expect it to win the box office championship."

"But the movies made by these Western people are too scary. Even I was shocked when I watched this movie." Sun Aiguo talked about the movie again.

"I'm afraid this movie won't be shown in China?" Liu Hai nodded. As for where the factory director watched the movie, it didn't matter.

"It will be shown, how could it not be shown? It's a little scary, but from another perspective, it is indeed a good movie. After all, the people on the Bald Eagle side can do anything." Sun Aiguo said with a smile.

In fact, there are many dark histories of Western pharmaceutical companies. Not to mention the lack of supervision in this era, even in the later period, what medicines were always available in Bald Eagle's family? They were definitely painkillers, and opioid painkillers.

This kind of painkiller was strictly regulated in our country at that time. You couldn't even prescribe two more tablets, let alone a bottle.

Because of their medical system, you can't not take painkillers. Even if you have a fracture, as long as your life is not in danger, you will be asked to come back for surgery in two weeks after the examination. Can you not take painkillers in the meantime?

Of course, if you want to have surgery immediately, you can go to a private hospital.

In addition, Bald Eagle doesn't say that you can have surgery whenever you want. You can only have surgery if the insurance company agrees to it.

If the insurance company thinks that you don't meet the conditions for surgery and doesn't agree to it, the doctor will not perform surgery on you, because the medical expenses are paid by the insurance company.

As for what to do if you feel pain, that is your patient's business, not the doctor's and the insurance company's business.

Of course, if you say you pay for it yourself, you will be pushed into the operating room immediately.

"And their fantasy movies are also very well made, especially the props are very realistic."

"When we shoot Journey to the West in the future, can the props be made more realistic? The monsters in Journey to the West must be more powerful than these orcs, right?" Sun Aiguo's next words made Liu Hai unable to answer.

This is a bit like asking who is more powerful, Zhang Fei or Yue Fei, who is more powerful?

"It should be the monsters!" Liu Hai thought about it and felt that the monsters were still more powerful.

"These cultural people are always procrastinating. It's been a year, and the scripts of the four great classics haven't come out yet." Sun Aiguo also wanted to see what the effect would be if our country filmed the four great classics.

"I think if you get involved, I'm afraid the progress will be faster."

Liu Hai heard what Sun Aiguo said and shook his head quickly: "If you want me to make up a story alone, I'm good at this, but these four great classics have too much influence, and they all have original works. I don't want to argue with these cultural people."

"There are many interpretations of an article. In addition, these masterpieces have been around for so many years, and many cultural people are studying and interpreting them. I don't want to be scolded by these cultural people in the future."

"Even if I am abroad, I am still scolded by those experts and professors in the newspaper."

Sun Aiguo laughed: "Those experts and professors abroad are envious and jealous. You made the money alone."

"But you are right. There is no need to be angry with those cultural people."

Liu Hai nodded: "There is no rush for the four masterpieces. The Grand View Garden will not be built in a short time anyway."

Liu Hai built the Grand View Garden according to the description in the novel. He used imported mahogany, rosewood, ebony, etc. from Southeast Asia.

The Grand View Garden film and television base was initially selected to be in the north of Kyoto. As for the specific location, it has not been determined. As for the architectural drawings, Liu Hai does not need to worry about them. There are people from the Dream of Red Mansions preparatory group and experts in ancient architectural design. Both sides will discuss it together.

Liu Hai only needs to invest. Anyway, there is plenty of money, and after this is built, it will definitely be a popular tourist attraction in the future.
