Three nouveau riche and rustic users?
Ignatius felt like he could go up and interview them again.
He stopped the three users and asked them with an authentic American broadcasting voice, "Friends, are you here to watch a movie? Have you seen the first movie in the Drifting City series?"
Ignatius was just asking casually. He thought that the three people in front of him might be slightly older and most likely didn't know English.
He didn't expect that after he finished asking, someone looked up at him and said in fluent English, "Who are you?"
"I …"
"I'm a reporter from Silicon Valley Technology Daily based in Hua Xia. Our newspaper wants to do an issue related to virtual movies." Ignatius casually made up a reporter identity for himself. Anyway, he couldn't show his reporter ID in the virtual world.
And he believed that at this moment, there must be more than a hundred reporters gathered on the Hua Xia Palace.
"Silicon Valley Technology Daily?" The voice in the middle was more aged than Ignatius expected. He frowned with a vivid expression. "How come I remember that Silicon Valley Technology Daily doesn't have a reporter in Hua Xia?"
[Wow, this is incredible.]
[Are these three middle-aged men executives of a technology company? Otherwise, how do they know about a technology consulting newspaper in Silicon Valley?]
Ignatius, who casually made up a story, insisted that they just set up a station in Hua Xia last month in Shanghai.
Seeing that the other party didn't continue to ask, Ignatius repeated the previous topic.
To Ignatius' surprise, the three middle-aged men were not impatient. Instead, they were very interested in the interview.
The one in the middle didn't speak, but the one on the left replied in equally fluent English, "I've seen the first movie in Drifting City."
"I have a very high opinion of this movie. This sci-fi work with a strong apocalypse background style not only brought us a wonderful visual experience, but the content is also very unique. Not only is there a grand and tragic spirit of sacrifice, but it is also filled with a reflection of humanity's attitude toward the development of future technology. "
"The pinnacle of technology, is it to destroy humanity or to benefit humanity?"
[F * ck …]
This was more than unexpected. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was shocking.
Ignatius did not expect these three rustic middle-aged men to have such a deep understanding of film criticism. The fluent English of the other two made Ignatius believe that they were executives of some technology company.
From head to toe, they were dressed like nouveau riche primordial spirit suits, which also proved that their economic strength was quite extraordinary.
"What about the second series of Floating City's rise?" Ignatius asked, "Have you seen the trailer? Are you looking forward to it more than the first movie?"
"By the way, do you think that this movie moving from traditional cinemas to virtual cinemas is in line with the development of film technology? In the future, virtual movies will be the mainstream of technology?"
It was rare for Ignatius to find friends who were close to him, and they were elites with high academic qualifications.
Therefore, he wanted to continue learning more about their views on the movie and the virtual world from them.
Ignatius felt that these executives of the technology companies would definitely have more unique views.
What Ignatius didn't expect was that the originally harmonious atmosphere of the interview would turn cold after he asked that question.
The three executives who were talking and laughing suddenly put on poker faces.
"This is nonsense!"
The man in the middle reprimanded, "What is the development of science and technology? What is the trend of science and technology? "
"The goal of the development of science and technology is to benefit mankind and help mankind grow healthier."
"But look, look at what Monster Industries has brought?"
"This company has brought a (drug) that is more terrifying than games to young people. Look at these people who are addicted to the virtual world. What future and hope do they have? Reality will become a social burden that they are not willing to face, and they will sink forever in the virtual world. "
"Yes." After the man in the middle finished reprimanding, the middle-aged man on the far right who had not spoken until now also spoke in English, "I think the director of Floating City gave up the traditional cinemas and put his works into the virtual world that will only make young people indulge in it and completely forget their own social responsibilities. It is an extremely irresponsible practice."
"Just like the final idea that the director wanted to express in the Floating City trilogy, when technology has developed to the extreme, but there is no corresponding means to limit it and it is allowed to erode every corner of mankind."
"Technology will only bring destruction to mankind in the end."
Several executives finished reprimanding with righteous indignation.
This time, it was Ignatius's turn to be awkward. Not only was he awkward, even Ye Qing beside him was awkward.
What and what?
Weren't they interviewing a movie? Why did they bring up Monster Industries? They even described Monster Industries as the villains in Terminator who would not give up until the future of mankind was destroyed.
"Is … is this a little too serious?" Ignatius tried to smooth things over, "I think that the emergence of the virtual world has far more advantages than disadvantages. Humans being addicted to the virtual world is no different from being addicted to the mobile phone yesterday. "
"The virtual world does not only have a bad side."
"We should be fully aware of the great beneficial changes it will make in medicine, culture, education, and the arts in the future, in bringing people closer to each other."
Ignatius's explanation made the middle-aged man on the left so angry that his hand was about to stand up, "You reporter, did you receive a red packet from Monster Industries?"
"What do you mean?" Ignatius felt that he had met a lunatic. Previously, he had seen these executives as elites, but now he felt that these three were even more unreasonable than the fat aunties he met in the supermarket.
"You didn't receive a red packet from Monster Industries, so why are you speaking for Monster Industries?" The man on the left sneered, "I've seen a lot of reporters like you. Every time you report a piece of news, the first thing that comes to your mind is to see if you can dig out some dirt from the source of the news."
"Because there is dirt to dig out, and the source of the news doesn't want the dirt to be exposed, they can only think of ways to satisfy you in terms of transportation fees."
"With your attitude, you dare to say that you didn't receive a red packet from Monster Industries?"
Ignatius nodded subconsciously. He felt that this person's evaluation of the reporter had hit the nail on the head.
Wait ~
Ignatius suddenly stared at him.
Why did Ignatius feel that this person's voice was becoming more and more familiar?
"Have we met somewhere before?"
"You're just a small reporter. Why are you trying to get close to me?" The man on the left sneered, "I also have friends in Silicon Valley. I hope that you can objectively and fairly write today's interview content into the interview draft."
"Especially the part about Monster Industries poisoning young people."
"You are …" Ignatius had a look that said, "You're Mr. Pan Dong from Glory Film and Television?"
"Ah!"
The three people on the other side were shocked.
In order to pretend to be a reporter, Ignatius deliberately used a standard American broadcast accent.
Usually, he liked to speak with a Hollywood accent and his tone was casual.
It was normal that Pan Dong couldn't recognize him.
But Ignatius had a big fight with Pan Dong yesterday, so of course he was familiar with his voice. As they chatted, he recognized him from his voice.
Haha ~
No wonder these three people were so angry with Monster Industries.
If they could be with Pan Dong, then the identity of the other two was not difficult to guess. They must be other big shots in Hua Xia's film and television industry.
It was inevitable that they would secretly come to the virtual world to watch a competitor's movie, but they didn't expect to meet him so coincidentally.
Thinking of this, Ignatius suddenly raised his eyebrows. He was still pretending to be a reporter. "What's wrong, Mr. Pan Dong, famous in Hua Xia's film and television industry? Why didn't you watch a movie in your own theater? Why did you come to the virtual world to watch a movie now? "
"Aren't you afraid that the virtual world will poison your mind and make you forget your social responsibilities?"
