  Chapter 1016 Living Fossils

1016

"Grandpa, let me tell you this game is awesome! This has to be my favorite game ever!"

"Pokémon... the name is so strange."

"No way, Grandpa, don't you understand this at all?"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I did pay less attention to this aspect before."

In a villa, a fourteen-year-old boy is playing video games with his grandfather.

This grandfather is the well-known director in his seventies, and his name is Jesse Hallmill.

He has shot many types of movies.

Covers love, thriller, war, espionage, growth and more.

Moreover, he entered the industry quite early, and now he has been in the film and television industry for more than 50 years. He participated in film shooting when he was a teenager, and then he grew up step by step, and officially became a filmmaker at the age of 22. The director, shooting his first feature-length film, can be regarded as a living fossil in the film industry.

He has seen the rise and fall of the film industry.

In that era, movies were similar to video games. They were boring things in people's eyes, and they were things that were playful and depressing.

But at the time, he had the courage to fight against such remarks, conquering men, women and children with step by step excellent movies, and built the entire film and television industry together with other well-known directors of the same period.

Looking back at the beginning, Jesse still has a high-spirited feeling.

Now, the film industry has become one of the indispensable entertainment items in people's lives. No one dares to say that movies are boring and something to play with.

But every era is always the object of disputes. Video games seem to have replaced the status of film and television in society, becoming a new plaything and boring thing.

Especially for old men over sixty years old like them, there are quite few people who can approve of this thing.

"Grandpa, Grandpa! It's an ultra-rare Pokémon! Catch it!"

"Ohhhhh!"

Jesse pressed the handle in a panic and directly selected the capture function, but failed.

"Oh, grandpa, you need to attack this Pokémon to the state of residual health first!"

"Sorry, I forgot."

Then Jesse followed his grandson's guidance and successfully caught this rare Pokémon.

"Haha! I caught a rare Pokémon, and you're awesome! I can brag about it with my online friends! Grandpa is waiting for me, I'll get my phone and take a picture, I'm going to share it on facebook !"

Facebook is another trendy thing, which appeared at about the same time as video games.

He knows this well, because many of the films he makes now require social media promotion.

He has his own facebook account.

Usually the main job of this account is to promote the movies he produced.

Jesse even thinks that facebook can be listed as a great invention of this new era just like video games.

Facebook brings people closer, even if they are thousands of miles away, they can seamlessly interact with you.

Video games magnify this point even more, so that people who like entertainment can gather together and devote themselves to a favorite thing.

"Okay, the shooting is over."

The grandson happily took the mobile phone and began to edit the content, and then shared the captured photos of rare Pokémon and a text on his facebook.

"By the way, maybe I can share it too, would the child want me to share it?" Jesse asked.

"Of course, Grandpa, this is the Pokémon you caught, it would be even better if you shared it!"

"good."

Jesse also picked up his cell phone.

His phone is also a facebook phone.

Regardless of his age, his mobile phone skills are no worse than his grandson.

I think he was a rebellious young man when he was young, which makes him always willing to accept new things even at his current age.

The reason why he hadn’t been exposed to video games in the past was mainly because it was a waste of time, and he was willing to devote more time to film production.

But this time is different, the movie he will shoot this time must be related to games, so playing games now is necessary.

"Well, what to write?"

Jesse was lost in thought, and then quickly came up with some words.

“Sharing video game fun with grandkids today.”

With a knowing smile, Jesse posted the captured Pokémon photos and text on his official account.

This release was not made casually.

This is also a kind of warm-up, letting people know that he, an old man, is playing video games, and a more savvy person may be able to guess that the next movie he will shoot may be related to video games.

But he obviously underestimated the imagination of netizens.

Jesse didn’t have much exposure to video games before, so many people mistakenly thought that he was disgusted with or not interested in video games.

When these people saw what Jesse shared, what most people guessed at the first moment was not that his next movie would be related to video games, but that his next movie might be very touching parent-child story.

A certain netizen A: "Wow, the close interaction between Mr. Jesse and his grandson can be seen from just one photo. Mr. Jesse is going to tell the story of the relationship between the three generations? I am looking forward to it!"

A certain netizen B: "I've already imagined a warm family story with a bit of a knife in it. Mr. Jesse, please don't worry that this kind of movie doesn't have a box office. I will definitely support it as soon as possible!"

Super editor and top screenwriter Jimmy: "WOW! Director Jesse is preparing a new movie again? It's really great. I grew up watching the movies directed by Jesse. I look forward to the director's next family movie! "

At this moment, Jimmy, the editor-in-chief of a certain magazine, is chatting with several industry insiders about the latest gossip in a vacation house.

And several of them were also the guys who were not selected from the two movies authorized by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

This also made them feel somewhat sympathetic to each other.

Then chatting and chatting, Jimmy's cell phone made a vibrating sound, which was a reminder of the latest news from the people he paid special attention to on Facebook, and then he saw Jesse posting the news.

"I really didn't expect that Mr. Jesse is still insisting on making movies. He has already achieved fame in his seventies. If it were me, he would have enjoyed his old age long ago."

One of them said with a sigh.

"He is a living fossil in the film and television industry. The ideals of people in his era are still quite different from ours. It is precisely because of this that such talents are worthy of admiration."

Listening to the discussion of several people around him, Jimmy noticed the details of the photo after commenting on what Jesse posted.

"This seems to be a video game?"

After Jimmy finished speaking, the other two turned their heads and took a look.

"Well, it is indeed a video game, called Pokémon. My children like to play it very much, and even showed me this game, but it is just a game."

Jimmy nodded when he heard it, and it seemed that it was just a game.
