China, northern China, a certain city, a computer software market...

"Are there any other good games? I've played all of you and it's boring." Li Fan asked the boss while flipping through a game on a software stall.

"Have you played it all?" the boss shook his head and said, "I've entered all the games here, and now there are fewer and fewer people playing stand-alone games. By the way, what type of games do you like to play?"

"I? Simulation management and role-playing are fine. I don't like real-time strategy very much." Li Fan said. He knew in his heart that he had never won a strategy game with his roommates in college.

The boss nodded, took a few more from the cabinet, and said to Li Fan, "There are a few of them, let's take a look at the business category." Xiao Fan took it and took a look, including "Simulation City 6", "Railway Tycoon 5", "Industrial Tycoon 3", etc.

"Is there any movie-related business games?" Li Fan asked.

The boss shook his head and said, "The movie tycoon was sold in the past two years, but now I don't buy it."

"I've played "Movie Tycoon" and thought it was OK." Li Fan put down the game and asked, "Have Movie Tycoon produced 2?"

"No, I just heard of it. I have never seen it." The boss shook his head and said.

Li Fan nodded and left the store. "Young man, come here." Li Fan walked a few steps away, and was calling him next to another boss of the store just now. Li Fan turned around and walked over.

The owner of this store looks like he is in his 60s.

"Do you want to play "Movie Tycoon 2"?" the old man asked with his eyes wide open.

"Do you have one?" Li Fan was stunned. According to his understanding, "Movie Tycoon 2", he just heard that the game company seemed to have never been released.

The old man nodded mysteriously, then bent down, took out a CD box with a not-so-groomed packaging from the bottom drawer of the store and handed it to Li Fan.

Li Fan held the box and flipped it back and forth. The picture was not good at all. Although the background of the picture was Hollywood, it was a bit rough. There were a few words on it "Movie Tycoon 2" and there was also an English themovie below.

Judging from this packaging, Li Fan probably this is a pirated disc, and maybe it is "Movie Tycoon 1", and then changed the packaging.

"You sure this is the second part?"

"That's right, and it's a simplified Chinese version." The old man promised.

"What if it's fake?" Li Fan continued to ask.

"My shop won't be moved away. If you are fake, come back to me, change the deal and refund the money." The old man replied.

"How much does it cost?" Hearing the old man's promise, Li Fan decided to buy it.

"30 yuan." said the old man.

"What a joke? If it's genuine, it's almost 30. Your packaging is pirated. It would be nice if I don't report it." Li Fan has already determined that this picture is a pirated disk.

The old man smiled and said, "Young man, I'm really genuine. I can also issue you a regular invoice. I'm not afraid of you reporting it. There is no bargaining price for 30 yuan."

Seeing the old man so determined, Li Fan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Okay, I believe in you, you can issue an invoice for me."

When he returned to his home, Li Fan quickly turned on his laptop, took out the CD and put it in the CD-ROM drive...

Li Fan graduated from a director department of a film academy in the summer. He thought he could immediately hold a microphone and yell and direct the first movie in his life on the set, but soon he discovered that it was just a distant dream. Not to mention movies, even TV, he still asked his aunts and aunts to work on the set in a TV series directed by a nine-rate director. For him, the distance from the current situation to shooting a movie is no shorter than 100,000 miles shorter than that of him. This laptop is the most valuable item he has now, and he bought it with his parents before graduation.

The game was installed quickly, and it was indeed in Simplified Chinese. The old man did not deceive himself at this point. He quickly entered the game.

Wow, the interface is really different from "Movie Tycoon 1", nnd, it's really exquisite.

The choices from various Hollywood eras appeared in the interface, from 1920 to 2011. It was actually 2011? Li Fan was so happy that it was really new.

Even if you don’t have to say that classical Hollywood is not good at technology, the movies are not good. Which year should you choose? Li Fan thought about it and then set it on January 31, 1997. Playing for more than 10 years is enough.

The following is to enter the name, well, if you want to choose an English name, just call it Eke Li. The public name is OK. Of course, the age is the same as you are now, 22 years old, gender, no need to ask about this, male.

At this time, the character appearance selection appeared on the interface. Damn, it was better than 1, and there was also this one. Li Fan looked at it and found that there were white people, Chinese, black people, Indian, and South American... Li Fan didn't think much about it and directly clicked on Chinese. The language selection in the latter was filled in English in the first language, and the second was filled in Chinese!

Li Fan felt that the game was designed more and more interesting, and it was actually the same as the NBA game produced by EA.

He then played down, and the interface below appeared. The player's starting film company was selected, with many Hollywood film companies on it, and Li Fan directly chose Paramount.

At this time, a prompt appeared on the game. Sorry, your current level is not able to operate Paramount yet. Dear you, nnd. Li Fan cursed.

So he continued to choose. Li Fan thought that if Paramount didn't allow it, Warner wouldn't have to try it, and Fox wouldn't have to choose that? At the bottom of the page, there were a bunch of companies that Xiao Fan had never heard of, about 100. Xiao Fan knew that these were all small subsidiaries.

It’s better to build one of these unknown companies than to choose one by yourself! Li Fan thought, so he clicked on the Create Company column in the upper right corner of the interface.

The screen immediately appeared, and the computer prompt: You chose to create a new film company, which will increase the difficulty of your game, but you will get more fun. Do you continue? Nonsense. Li Fan clicked on continuing. At this time, a typing box appeared on the interface, requiring you to fill in the company's name.

It sounds very science fiction. Then, the computer appeared again, and the initial funding choice, Li Fan took a look and found that the highest was only 50,000 US dollars. It was too little. He thought to himself, but there was no way to do that. This is how business games look like.

What happened next surprised him. The prompt box actually showed whether all the characters were consistent with the reality? Li Fan pointed out. Another sentence appeared in the prompt box. Is it connected to the known world now? This sentence made him a little confused.

This is his nnd game, connecting to the known world? He thought about it and clicked on the connection.

Suddenly, Li Fan's eyes turned dark and he fell into a coma...

When he woke up again, he found himself on a strange bed. Li Fan rubbed his eyes and looked around and found that everything had become different. He touched his side. Thank God! The laptop is still there. This is his most valuable thing.

The light in the room was very dark. Li Fan walked out of bed, pulled open the curtains, and for a moment he was stunned. The scene outside the window... This... This is... Los Angeles, USA!!!

"omg!" Li Fan said in surprise, but he was even more surprised that his words were actually authentic English. He shook his head incredible.

"Ring..." On the table next to the window, an ancient Motorola phone rang. Li Fan struggled for a moment and picked up the phone with his trembling hands.

"Ike, what are you doing? Haven't you got up yet?" An impatient man's voice came from the phone. Although the man spoke authentic American English, Li Fan was clearly listening.

"You are? I...you..." How should I say this? Li Fan was in a headache. He didn't know what was going on yet.

"You must have been fooling around last night. Can't you hear my voice? I'm Green, Green Newmander, have you heard it clearly?"

"Oh, it's you." Li Fan took a deep breath, then calmed down a little, and said to his phone with a pretentious understanding, "What are you asking for me?"

"God, you are not only fooling around looking for women, but you must be silly. Is your brain rusted? The '3d' film company we established has started to open today. Don't you come to the company?" Green complained.

"3d movie company?" Li Fan was stunned again. When he turned around, he accidentally saw the laptop on the bed. He seemed to understand a little and then said, "Is the registered capital 50,000 US dollars?"

"Thank God, you still remember it. This is all the property that our two families helped to get together." Green shouted on the phone.

"In 10 minutes, you can call me again." Li Fan hung up the phone without any explanation, then walked to the edge of the bed, sat down, covering his face, and his brain spasms.

3d film company? 50w? His name is Ike now? This is Los Angeles, USA? Time... He looked up at the electronic calendar at the head of the bed, Fark... January 31, 1997!!

Li Fan quickly took the laptop on the bed, plugged in the power supply in a panic, turned on the computer, and then clicked the icon of "Movie Tycoon 2" above. At this time, the game not only had a screen, but also added a voice function.

"Welcome back to the game." is a sweet woman's prompt sound. She is already speaking completely in English. Li Fan clicked the character bar with his mouse, and he was surprised to find that there was a profile introduction to the protagonist in the taskbar.

Ike Lee, 22 years old, nationality, American identity, 3D film company boss, status, general, emotion, chaos, charm value 10 (no charm at all, can't attract any stars)...

Li Fan then looked at it. He found that there was a capability sign at the lowest level of the character introduction, so he clicked it. After the ability value was expanded, it occupied most of the page. It included: business ability, publicity ability, screenwriter ability, director ability, communication ability with the media... and so on, and there was a hidden ability at the end. Li Fan clicked and found that this could not be opened. All of these abilities were 10, and in the summary column, there was a saying, "You are a rookie in the film industry."

He closed his eyes, then opened the company attribute column, which showed that the company's funds were 50,000 US dollars, 0 movies were produced, 0 movies were released, 0 stars in production, 0 stars in distribution, 0 stars in distribution, 0 stars in attracting investors, 0 stars in attractiveness to movie stars, 0 stars in external communication... The final summary is, "This is a rookie film company."

Just as Li Fan was watching, Green called again.

"I said, man, are you still coming to the company? Are you shaving your legs? It's been so long," Green complained.

"Green, my head hurts now." Li Fan said, "Come here to pick me up." To be honest, Li Fan doesn't know where the company is.
Chapter completed!
