Losing Money to Be a Tycoon-Chapter 1647 - Movie: The Future You Choose

The movie ended.

The audience immediately began discussing in the theater.

“What did the movie mean? I don’t understand.”

“Haven’t you read the original novel?”

“No, I only came because I saw the large-scale publicity online recently.”

“Ai, the expression in this movie is too deep. It’s normal to not understand it after watching it once. When you have nothing to do, go back and look for a film review. In any case, I was very moved after watching it. It’s really a good movie with deep meaning.”

“That’s right. Especially what the rich man said at the end. I hate him to the core. However, I can’t do anything about him.”

“I didn’t expect this. I thought that this sci-fi film was another lousy film. I didn’t expect it to really shoot the original story very well. The director played a huge role.”

The audience at midnight gave very high ratings.

Even though many viewers could not accurately grasp the details in the movie, most people could feel the core idea that the movie conveyed.

Pei Qian stood up slowly and left with these people. In his heart, he thought: It’s stable!

He did not expect the anti-Tengda Alliance and Vinci Media to release a movie with such high quality.

Not only was it well-made, but the core of the story was very solid.

......

It was a classic sci-fi novel after all. It had been tested by time.

In this sci-fi story, a very terrifying expectation was raised, including the following points:

First, wealth was becoming more and more concentrated in the hands of very few people, and this speed was gradually increasing.

In reality, the wealth of the rich in some American countries was equivalent to 10% of the entire domestic product.

Second, the division of rich and poor would cause physical division.

In the story, as technology continued to improve, a lot of knowledge could be obtained through education chips. This caused huge differences in knowledge insights and thinking methods of people with wealth and people who did not have wealth.

In the end, the poor and the rich became two different species. The poor became meaningless trash to the entire society while the rich had all the good and kind qualities.

In reality, the rich allowed their children to obtain top educational opportunities through a large amount of sponsorship. This was actually a kind of physiological division.

Third, unrestricted free markets would cause the desire to appreciate capital to expand unprecedentedly and ultimately cause completely uncontrollable outcomes.

The land, air, and even all resources in the story became privatized. In the end, most people would be denied the right to obtain these resources.

Similarly, the iron rule that the Oxygen Guard System and the law enforcement unit firmly protected was that “private property is sacred and cannot be violated”. Whether it was established under any conditions or not was also a huge question mark.

All in all, this movie could be said to be completely on the spiritual core. In Pei Qian’s opinion, it was not inferior to ‘The Future You Choose’. In fact, it was far better in certain aspects.

What surprised Pei Qian the most was that this movie seemed to have also secretly defamed Tengda Corporation.

The rich man in the game was obviously the final winner and the biggest critic. If they wanted to find a corresponding image in the real world, Tengda Corporation was obviously the most suitable.

This rich man started from scratch and was smart and capable. He did not obtain much help from his father. He could only become the final victor because of his intelligence.

This was in line with the image of Boss Pei in the eyes of ordinary people.

What’s more, this rich man’s industry started from the bottom and rose to other industries step by step. He gradually monopolized most industries on the entire planet.

This was very similar to Tengda Corporation, which was constantly reaching out to different industries.

Thus, if this movie wanted to film a realistic company, it would be film Tengda Corporation.

The meaning of the expression was very clear.

Other companies could only monopolize a certain field even if they were to monopolize it. However, Tengda Corporation was seeking to occupy all the fields in all the industries. In fact, Boss Pei indeed had this ability because he was a business genius.

That was even more dangerous.

If Tengda were allowed to develop and grow, it was very likely that the situation in the movie would happen. The legal rights of ordinary people were invaded, and the resources that should have been enjoyed naturally were taken into Tengda Corporation’s company assets, or even Boss Pei’s personal wealth.

Of course, all the audience must know in their hearts that it was impossible to become a scene in the movie in reality. After all, there was no Oxygen guard system in reality, and there was no education chip. What’s more, the situation in the two worlds was completely different. They could not be compared.

However, no matter what, the inflated Tengda Corporation would cause danger. This concept was already buried subtly in the hearts of the audience.

This subconsciousness could not be easily eliminated.

It was a good counterattack for those companies that were against Tengda Alliance.

If the argument that ‘all the crows in the world are all the same’ was true, it would improve the image of these companies. It could also be said to be their ‘low-quality advantage’.

Pei Qian could not help but raise his thumb silently. He really wanted to like the anti-Tengda Alliance, especially Vinci Media.

I didn’t expect you to bring back the public opinion on the battlefield even though the start was so unfavorable. It was really worth celebrating.

At that thought, Pei Qian went home to sleep happily.

He would have lunch tomorrow and watch ‘The Future You Choose’ in the afternoon.

The anti-Tengda Alliance was defaming Tengda Corporation while he was defaming his double insurance. Nothing would go wrong, right?

…

Nie Yunsheng, Lu Xiaoping, and the others were also watching the midnight show of “My Property” at the local cinema in Jingzhou.

All the standard tactical converters.

Lu Xiaoping and the others were very confident in the movie ‘My Property’. Naturally, they did not need to watch it again.

On the other hand, the movie ‘The Future You Choose’ had already won the Golden Lion Award after all. What’s more, it was released later than the game. There must be some special considerations. It might be Boss Pei’s last trump card. He could not ignore it.

The bosses booked a private theater very generously. All of them looked serious and focused.

To them, this was a battlefield without smoke.

Soon, the movie began.

…

The opening of the movie was a panoramic view of a huge city.

The city looked very advanced in technology. Countless skyscrapers reached into the clouds, and various colorful neon lights made the entire city look prosperous and lively.

There was a thin cloud at the waist of the buildings in the skyscraper. It seemed to split the buildings into two. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

The camera slowly zoomed towards the clouds and arrived above the city.

All sorts of air cars could be seen between the skyscrapers, shuttling back and forth. Through the wide floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper half of the building, one could see upper class people in various high-end restaurants and other social gatherings in smart suits or beautiful evening clothes, drinking and chatting happily.

There were also some skyscrapers with rich people’s offices or residential areas on the top floor.

On the roof of some high-end apartments, rich people could have several floors of houses. They could also have man-made grass balconies and swimming pools. However, one could also feel a sense of prosperity and wealth.

Then, the camera panned downwards, piercing through the clouds at the waist of the skyscraper.

The moment he passed through the clouds, he could see some special devices at the waist of the building. They were spraying out some white smoke to maintain the clouds.

After passing through the clouds, the true scenery of the entire city appeared in front of everyone.

Traffic on the ground, dilapidated old streets, wandering around, homeless people, frequent violent incidents, even shooting activities…

The clouds above and below seemed to be divided into two completely different worlds.

During this process, the billboards that could be seen everywhere in the buildings left a deep impression on the audience.

These billboards were Tengda Corporation’s industrial logos. They were similar to real logos, but they had changed according to the style of this world.

This feeling was as if the entire city had been occupied by Tengda Corporation.

The camera continued to pan downwards, crossing the chaotic street and finally arriving at a dark underground road.

The three of them were fighting awkwardly and fiercely.

Their movements were very irregular. Obviously, they had not learned any fighting techniques systematically. There was no beauty to speak of when they fought.

However, while they were fighting, they were constantly attacking the other party’s vital points. They were also making use of all the weapons they could obtain from the surroundings. They were both comical and ferocious.

One of the young men was obviously fighting one against two. However, he was like a trapped beast, baring his fangs and brandishing his claws. He was not at a disadvantage.

The other two looked at each other and one of them took out a dagger from his pocket.

However, this young man did not turn around to escape. Instead, he rushed forward even more desperately.

The scene might be very chaotic but it was obvious that this young man was not courageous but without strategy. During the battle, he used all methods, including his teeth. Obviously, he wanted to deal with the dagger-wielding enemy first.

Even if his enemies beat him up, he would only be able to take it.

In the end, the young man paid the price of being stabbed in the left and left shoulder. He bit the opponent’s right wrist with his teeth and snatched the dagger away.

After that, he stabbed the enemy’s carotid artery and died.

The other enemy wanted to escape, but the young man did not give him the chance. Instead, he quickly caught up and stabbed him from the back.

After getting rid of the two enemies, the young man collapsed on the ground. His right hand covered the wound on his left arm as he panted.

Previously, the lighting in the underground passage was relatively dim, so everyone did not see the three people clearly. They could only vaguely see their silhouette. They could feel the intensity of the battle between the three people through the sound.

However, it seemed like there was a train rumbling outside at that moment. Light shone in, causing the entire underground passage to be bright and dark.

It was only then that everyone saw clearly that the three people who had dedicated the first scene of the movie were three homeless people.

They were all in shabby clothes and looked dirty. They did not have anything valuable on them. They were lying in the shadows of the underground passage. They would not be discovered unless you looked closely.

The young man’s face was finally revealed in front of the audience.

Many people did not even realize that this was Lu Zhiyao!

That was because Lu Zhiyao’s appearance in the movie was very different from his original image. His hair was very long, and it looked like he had not been trimmed for a long time. What’s more, it was a mess because of the dirt.

There were two wounds on his face, making him look ferocious. One of the wounds had even scratched his left eye. At that moment, there was only a cream-colored, cloudy, volunteer eye in his left eye. It looked a little like the image of ancient pirates in some movies.

The change in clothes, demeanor, and expression made him not look like himself. Instead, he looked like a homeless man who had just killed someone.

He searched the body of the homeless man holding the knife, found a few pills, and swallowed them. After searching for a while, he found a small but ugly stone sculpture.

This was a very ordinary stone. The material was not special. It was not made of jades or jades, nor was it precious metal. There were no exquisite carvings. This stone was carved into a ring and tied up with a thin rope.

The ring was irregular. Some parts were thick, and others were thin. It seemed to have become smooth after wearing it for a long time, but from any angle, it did not seem to have any value.

The protagonist skillfully tied the broken line back onto his own neck and pressed it against his chest.

Then, he patted his chest, seemingly relieved that he had successfully snatched this stone back.

After doing all of this, he tore off a few pieces of torn cloth, simply bandaging his wounds, and then limping towards the exit of the underground passage.

The scene changed and came to an abandoned food processing factory.

This place seemed to have been remodeled into a gathering place for the underground gang. Many ferocious-looking gang members were smoking and drinking while watching the cheap dance on stage.

However, in a certain room nearby, it was very quiet. The music outside could only be heard faintly.

“No criminal record?”

The ferocious-looking gang leader sounded surprised and contemptuous. He put out the cigar in his hand, modified into a bright red mechanical eye, and raised it to light up Lu Zhiyao, who was standing opposite him.

Lu Zhiyao did not have much expression on his face. “I already have, but I haven’t recorded it. I killed two people.”

The gang leader studied him and suddenly grinned. “Not bad.”

…

After that, the protagonist that Lu Zhiyao played became part of the street gang. He began to deal with petty theft.

Even if it was a simple errand, he might encounter danger at any time and die.

However, even though he was injured many times, the protagonist survived and earned a lot of money. He even modified his mechanical prosthetic eye and some other prosthetic limbs.

During this process, the protagonist would take out the round stone from time to time. However, such scenes became rare.

In the movie, he explained the source of this stone by recalling some memories. Some memories flashed through the protagonist’s mind when he was severely injured and in danger.

In the dark basement that he used to live in with his worried mother, his mother picked up all sorts of rocks and carved them into different toys for him because he was lacking toys.

However, the so-called carving was nothing more than using a inferior carving knife. It was barely acceptable based on the shape of the rock itself.

After that, his mother would use her bold and imaginative imagination to think of a bedtime story for the statue to coax him to sleep.

There were cunning and ferocious wolves, soldiers who fought valiantly, hovering cars, and the sun high in the sky.

However, the shape of these statues was very different from the image of real things. Even if the names were told in advance, they had to use a strong associative ability from a specific angle to connect them.

To the protagonist, the image of the sun was more difficult to understand than other images. That was because there was a layer of white clouds in the sky. He had never seen the real sun even though the sun could shine in.

Finally, one day, a severely ill mother handed a ring-shaped stone to the protagonist.

Then, he would tell him that this was a good luck stone, which was also a wealth stone. As long as he carried it, good luck and wealth would descend on him.

He had to be a kind person and not hurt others. That way, he would protect him when he was lucky.

A few days later, his mother died. The person who rented the apartments came to the basement and threw everything in there onto the street roughly. Then, he soared into the air and handed it to the next resident who could afford the rent.

On the other hand, the rocks that the protagonist had carefully gathered and placed in the small box were roughly thrown onto the street. The rocks on the ground were washed away by the drainage ditch underground.
