It was evening, on the 23rd floor of an office building in Shanghai.
Zeng Wei sat at his workstation and looked at the time on his computer. It was still more than 20 minutes before 7:30, and then his eyes began to wander toward the window again.
It has completely darkened outside, and Nanjing Road not far from the office building has begun to be bustling with daily life.
The lights were on and the nightlife had begun. In the reflection of the busy traffic was Zeng Wei's somewhat confused face.
This expression should be familiar to many white-collar workers.
It's beyond the scheduled get off work time, but I have to wait for a meeting in the evening, and the boss or leader doesn't know when he will come back.
So I couldn’t go home if I had a home, and I couldn’t go on an appointment.
In such a situation, the only thing you can do is touch the fish and feel confused for a while.
Zeng Wei doesn't like this. He feels that life and work should be separated.
Isn’t this the case in all developed countries? Work is work, life is life. When you get off work at the right time, you don’t have to occupy both of them. How nice!
So he began to think again, or else go back to his own company...
However, this situation is still relatively favorable for today.
Because his old classmate said that at 7:30, information about the new movie Stars and Sea will be updated.
The new movie of Stars and Sea is of course "Pacific Rim".
These days, or the entire second half of the year, the popularity of this film has been constant.
After all, this is Stars and Sea's only major blockbuster this year, and it is something that movie fans are looking forward to.
So now Zeng Wei feels that being in the company is not so boring anymore.
"So boss, you'd better come back after half past seven!"
Zeng Wei prayed secretly.
Soon, the time was approaching 7:30, and Zeng Wei began to prepare to go online.
Before entering the URL he wanted to enter, he looked up and looked around calmly.
Very good, the boss and supervisor still haven't come back, and my colleagues...well, my colleagues are also fishing.
So Zeng Wei no longer had any scruples and directly clicked on "Star Tickets".
Xingchen Piao Piao is a movie ticket inquiry and reservation website similar to "Tao Piao Piao" in later generations.
The website was launched by Xingchenhai half a year ago, and in cooperation with Taobao, it currently enables online payment and offline ticket collection.
The operation is very simple. For example, after Zeng Wei opens the website, a series of graphic information appears on the web page.
For example, movies that are currently being released and movies that will be released in the future.
Movie information, ratings, and current box office will also be displayed.
Some movies also provide trailers to help fans choose.
After selecting a movie, the next interface is the theaters available in the city, the specific screening times and the final payment for seat selection.
After selecting a seat and paying, a text message will be received on the mobile phone. When moviegoers arrive at the theater, they only need to use the code in the text message to get their tickets at the self-service ticket vending machine or counter in the theater.
In fact, from the perspective of later generations, this approach has become commonplace, and even a bit backward.
But it is only 2006 after all, so this high-end Internet lifestyle can currently be regarded as a way for "city dwellers" to establish a sense of superiority.
Zeng Wei was like this, he relied on this to pick up girls in the beginning.
For example, if you make an appointment with a girl to watch a movie, you agree in advance. When you get to the place, you don’t go to the counter. You go directly to the ticket vending machine, enter the memorized verification code on the mechanical key to get the ticket, and then you look at the girl’s admiring eyes indifferently.
Let me put it this way: Who still buys tickets with cash at the counter nowadays...
Of course, this method no longer works in the end, because everyone knows how to use it, and the sense of mystery is naturally reduced. It can only maintain a little bit of foreignness in front of people who don't understand.
Speaking of which, after Zeng Wei opened Star Tickets, he directly skipped the column currently showing. He had already watched the currently showing "Ink Attack", and his impression after watching it was that he didn't even bother to take a look at the current box office data.
,Not interested in.
He directly clicked on the next page and looked for this year's "Pacific Rim" of Stars and Sea.
Then when I took a look, I found a surprise.
"Pacific Rim" has finally updated its poster and opened pre-orders!
Before this, the cover poster of "Pacific Rim" only had a text introduction, and the background was black, so it was impossible to tell what it was.
And now, the official poster for "Pacific Rim" has finally come out.
"This is a mecha?! Damn it!"
Zeng Wei almost exclaimed.
In the poster, the distant view shows three huge mecha robots, which are as powerful as Transformers.
The close shot shows Jiang Yan and two others wearing mecha suits with a strong sci-fi feel.
This is a mecha!
As a mecha enthusiast, Zeng Wei feels that no man can resist the temptation of mechas!
"Transformers", "eva" and "Gundam", right?
This is all boys’ childhood!
Sure enough, Jiang Yan is indeed a pure post-80s generation!
He understands us!
However, there are also problems. Currently, "Pacific Rim" still only has poster updates and no trailer updates, so what kind of story is this?
Out of curiosity, Zeng Wei then looked at the movie information that had also just been updated.
In the line of actor information, the original starring Jiang Yan has now become the names of more than a dozen cast and crew members including Jiang Yan, Chen Daomin, Wu Jing, Scarlett Johansson (US), Dwayne Johnson (US), etc.
Zeng Wei does not know Scarlett Johansson, but he knows Dwayne Johnson because he has seen this person in "The Jungle Book".
So Zeng Wei couldn't help but guess that Jiang Yan's goal this time was probably far beyond the country.
Read on, here is some basic information about "Pacific Rim".
Produced by Xingchenhai, with an investment of 45 million US dollars, Jiang Yan wrote, directed and acted in it. It also uses the most advanced 3D technology. The technology comes from Xingchen Technology and has independent intellectual property rights.
In addition to these, it was also introduced that the filming of the film started at the end of 2003, and after 3 years of polishing, it was finally taken into shape, and the release date is today.
