The Activision family monopolizes the entire Xiacheng District's communications, media, advertising, holographic image production, education and dozens of subdivided fields.
The Xiacheng District headquarters is a large-scale campus. Nearly 10% of people in Rocky Mountain City work for Activision, which has formed an urban culture of "entertaining you to death".
Communications, Activision Internet and holographic image production are the three most important business sectors. The offices are located in the core of the park, in three giant buildings distributed in an equilateral triangle.
Going all the way deep into the park, Li Liang learned from Andrea that the "Digital Imaging Department" responsible for film and television production is a completely independent department that is directly responsible to Activision. Its department manager must be nominally a direct descendant of Activision. However, in actual operations, there are few "noble" descendants of wealthy families willing to stay in Xiacheng District. Therefore, most of the time, this position is concurrently held by the Vice President of Activision Xiacheng District.
The "Digital Imaging Department" produces programs for all paid channels of Activision Internet, but their most important work has always been "Hans and His Friends". This free sitcom seems to have a brainless plot, simple and crude, But it is responsible for conveying ideology and educating the lower class civilians.
Li Liang hasn't watched "Hans and His Friends" very much, so he didn't feel deeply about it. However, Cain added some more intuitive facts. Many children in the lower city, especially those who have been involved in gangs since childhood and are homeless, have a difficult life. The first lesson is often taught by "Hans and His Friends", and in this drama, there are a large number of positive characters in the gang. The protagonist Hans is a man who accidentally drifted from the upper city to the lower city and was forced to join The gangster's fool.
As for the status of this drama in the hearts of Xiacheng District residents, Li Liang has already experienced it in the previous "The End of the Drama". That strong feeling transcends time and identity, and is the common memory of the times for Xiacheng District people.
While chatting, the four of them had already passed through the secluded park and arrived at the core area.
The "Digital Imaging Department" is located on the 85th to 132nd floors of the "Internet Center" building among the three giant buildings. Above that is the office area where the senior management is located, which shows its unique status.
At this moment, the "Internet Center" is brightly lit, and staff members are constantly coming and going in twos and threes at the main entrance of the building. Most of them are young people, with relaxed expressions and full of confidence in their words.
Li Liang found that even people working at the New Order Contact Conference headquarters rarely showed this attitude. Perhaps, being in control of the lifeblood of the Internet would always give people the illusion of advanced information.
Cain's face was ugly. It was her first time entering the Activision headquarters campus. Looking at these glamorous young people, she obviously thought of the gang members struggling in the struggle for interests.
Andrea and Yuan Quan were wearing hoods and did not attract much attention. Before the four entered the building, Li Liang glanced back.
The necromancer followed all the way, and now he was squatting under a sculpture, still lowering his head.
What does it want to do?
Li Liang was a little confused. There was a section of the road that was sparsely populated and there were many opportunities for action, but this guy just followed him from a distance and didn't even dare to get close.
He looked up at the sculpture and pursed his lips.
A line of holographic text circulates in a circle above the sculpture: "Power is temporary, laughter is eternal." The main body of the sculpture is a funny clown, with one foot raised, grinning, holding a colorful cane in one hand, and the other One hand reaches down, extending its index finger... just pointing at the necromancer squatting at its feet...
This scene is somewhat heartless.
Li Liang withdrew his gaze and followed Andrea into the building.
When passing through the security checkpoint, Andrea took off his hood. For a moment, everyone in the hall seemed to have been cast a holding spell and stood there in a daze.
Li Liang originally didn't believe the exaggerated movie scene where a beautiful woman appeared and a passerby bumped his head against the wall because he was too focused on watching it. But now with the thud, he believed it.
To be honest, Andrea's appearance is difficult to describe in words. In terms of elegance, it is naturally not as good as that of a goblin, and even the two indistinguishable Prince Terencea is almost unsatisfactory, but there is a kind of touching magic power. , it seems that there is always a certain angle that can hit your aesthetic taste, and then reshape your perception of "beauty".
Just outrageous.
However, he still felt that Cain was better-looking, especially now that he was holding back his anger, tightly pursed his lips, and frowned, a bit like the crew-cut guy wearing a blue wig.
Fortunately, they were all colleagues, so the "audience" in the hall was far more restrained than the movie fans. They did not rush in and just stood there, watching Andrea enter the elevator.
The elevator doors are closed.
Li Liang looked forward and reached out to pat Cain's arm.
Okay, he could hear the squeaking sound of this bitch's mechanical arm. If he didn't stop him, Andrea's head might be in danger. Before, he thought that Cain was a man of both sexes and was not taboo on meat and vegetables. Now he found out that this The woman was just pretending last time at ASK, she was clearly a ruthless and glass-hearted person.
Yuan Quan also heard the sneer, and suddenly took Cain's arm and said seriously: "Sister Cain, I have always felt that there is a beauty in you that belongs exclusively to gang culture. It transcends all forms and is the aesthetic of the lower city. Cohesion, I really hope you can star in this shoot.”
Li Liang raised his eyebrows and wanted to give Director Yuan a thumbs up. It seemed that Andrea's teachings were not in vain. The silly girl who almost suffocated herself to death in the cargo box also learned to talk nonsense.
As the only "family member" that "important minister" Robben cares about, Yuan Quan's current status is self-evident, and these "heartfelt" compliments are very convincing.
Although Cain replied impatiently, "No time," the robotic arm finally stopped scoffing.
Andrea, who was standing in front, relaxed her shoulders.
Li Liang found it a bit funny. This thoughtful heroine was still afraid of death.
Ding.
The elevator door opened, and the view suddenly broadened.
Located on the 95th floor, this is a huge studio with a height of more than ten meters. There are densely packed tracks overhead and a mess of wires and equipment scattered on the ground. More than a dozen scenes have been set up next to each other, some of which have holographic annotations. " "Han-131-Central Scene", "Han-131-Main-01" all the way to "Han-131-Main-05". The scenes further away are not marked, and there are not many equipment outside the scene. They seem to be the previous scenery. .
It was close to three o'clock in the morning, the cast and crew had not yet gone to work, and the entire studio was empty. There were several armed drones flying in the air, turning a blind eye to the four people who walked into the studio.
"This is the main shooting location of "Hans and His Friends". For outdoor scenes, unless there are special circumstances, they are usually completed in Synapses simulation scenes."
Synapses, aka Neuromansion Uptown.
Li Liang nodded, stepped on the wires that were tangled like vines, and walked into the nearest scene.
This is the season of "Hansel and Friends" that just ended. The central scene of season 131 is a living room with solid walls on three sides and only one open side.
The decoration style of the living room is quite mixed, with various elements present. Daily necessities and props of unknown purpose can be seen everywhere. There is a curved sofa in the middle, an open kitchen on the left, and the entrance door on the right. At a glance, , it is completely a real cross-section of a downtown apartment, full of life, and there are even some snacks scattered on the coffee table, as if Hans and his friends just went out and will be back soon.
Li Liang had some impressions of this apartment. After all, he had watched some dramas and the main plot took place here.
Cain looked at it seriously, walked to the sofa and sat down, touched the armrest of the sofa, then changed his position and sat on another separate sofa.
"Miss Cain likes Aru?" Andrea smiled.
Li Liang thought Cain would refute, but he didn't expect that she would acquiesce, so he wondered: "How did you tell?"
"Aru's character has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Every time he comes to Hans' house as a guest, he must sit on a fixed sofa," Andrea laughed, "It's the single sofa."
Cain was a little distracted, his eyes scanning every position on the sofa, showing an expression of reminiscence.
"Yes, many times, characters will choose seats they are familiar with," Andrea walked forward and sat on the arm of the sofa opposite Aru, "and I will always sit here."
The next moment, Andrea's expression changed. She suddenly looked at the sky, wrinkled her nose and scratched her head: "Help, I'm so exhausted today. That idiot Hans got into trouble again~ Damn it, it's such a big trouble~"
"Season one hundred and twenty-seven, episode seven," Cain instantly sat up and shouted, then realized what he was doing, stood up and walked out in annoyance, "Well, I'll go over there and have a look."
Li Liang couldn't laugh or cry.
You, a senior movie fan, still want to fight with Andrea? It was completely taken care of.
However, just in that moment, Andrea changed from her expression to her posture. She looked exactly like the innocent and kind-hearted heroine Lola in the play, who has a crazy love brain and always likes to come up with random ideas.
Li Liang shook his head, sat down on the sofa, and said casually: "You said this show is the breakthrough for controlling Activision?"
Andrea immediately broke away from the identity of "Lola", looked serious, and said after thinking for a moment: "Yes, if the moment you regain control of Xi'an, kill all the pantheons and the Hall of Valor, all I can do is humble. The ground crawled at your feet, but you didn't. You chose a difficult but truly great way to try to completely change the world..."
"Oh? Really?" Li Liang raised his eyes and said slowly, "You are very smart..."
He suddenly felt that the ambition of the heroine in front of him was not just to make a TV series, but not even to belong to the Activision family.
Yuan Quan trembled and said quickly: "Li...Twin Father Gods, we, we just want to..."
"It's okay," Li Liang smiled at Yuan Quan, leaned on the back of the sofa, and shook his finger at Andrea, "You continue."
