Chapter 270 Prelude to TGS

At noon on the second day of the wedding, after eating the last lunch on the island, except for the workaholics who hurriedly flew back, under the leadership of Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan, everyone boarded a luxury cruise ship and prepared to Enjoy a leisurely time at this paradise-like resort, including Yang Xinxin and her Mai Jiajun who rarely come out for a vacation together, Steven Spielberg and James who just have nothing to do ? Cameron didn't even forget to bring his family.

The luxury cruise ship that Zhang Lexing was on was a new ship launched last year, with a gross tonnage of more than 7 tons, a total of 13 decks, and a passenger capacity of up to 2000 people. There are not as many crew members and service personnel on board, but it allows everyone to enjoy a relaxed leisure environment.

The facilities on board are quite complete, and restaurants of various flavors provide 24-hour service from the moment you board the ship. As long as you want to eat, whether it is a romantic French meal or a delicious Chinese meal, you can taste it anytime and anywhere.In addition, there are some unique gourmet shops, which always provide tempting delicacies such as ice cream, pizza, and burgers.

People who want to play also have a lot of choices. They can go to various theaters and performance halls to watch performances, or go to bars of different styles all over the ship to experience the passionate life, and even go to the casino on the 12th floor. luck.In addition, the ship also provides good places such as swimming pool, SPA, gym, multi-purpose court, library, etc., as well as a fun game area specially designed for children, a youth center, and a paddling pool. It can be said that there will be no use for the next few days. Go for the perfect vacation just by being on board.

When the cruise ship set sail, the sky was already covered with sunset glow, and after bypassing Eleuthera Island, the sky was completely dark.The cruise ship slowly sailed to the next destination, Grand Bahama Island, in the dark.It is one of the main big islands in the Bahamas. It is said that the economy is mainly based on tourism, forestry and fishery. The island is low and flat, covered with tall Caribbean pines. The thatched pergola built by people is used to inhabit and make people feel very peaceful and comfortable.

On the afternoon of the third day, the cruise ship left Grand Bahama Island.On the terrace on the 5th floor, Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan were sitting on chairs near the side of the boat, drinking freshly squeezed orange juice and admiring the beautiful scenery on the sea.

"Le Xing, I'm not afraid of your jokes. In fact, I still haven't figured out where the Bahamas are?" Chen Zishan said embarrassedly after taking a sip of orange juice.

"Oh, I happened to have researched it beforehand, so let me tell you." Zhang Lexing moved his chair towards Chen Zishan, hugged her with his right hand, gestured towards the sea with his left hand and said, "The official name of the Bahamas is The Commonwealth of the Bahamas, located on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, is located in the southeast of Florida, USA, north of Cuba and the Caribbean Sea. The entire Bahamas includes more than 700 islands and more than 2000 coral reefs. It can be called an archipelago. The aborigines here are Indians People, but they basically don't exist anymore. The main population is now black, and the rest are descendants of white Europeans and Americans and a few Asians...

The place we visited in the morning is called Grand Bahama Island, and to the west of it is a free port called Lucaya, which is a free trade zone where ships enter the port without paying taxes..."

"If you don't have to pay taxes, wouldn't the Bahamas be at a loss?" Chen Zishan asked puzzled.

"Although no tax has been paid, the influx of ships will drive the development of other industries, so it cannot be said to be a loss." Zhang Lexing explained.

"Le Xing, I read in the book that there used to be pirates in the Caribbean, do you still have them now? Our ship is so big, they won't rob us." Chen Zishan suddenly said worriedly.

"Haha, no more. This is a place where tourism is the main business, and it's not far from the United States. There have been no pirates for a long time." Zhang Lexing smiled, and gently stroked Chen Zishan's back with his hands, comforting him. .

"Le Xing, do you think the legend of Pirates of the Caribbean is true?" Chen Zishan, who had lost her worries, became curious again.

"It should be true. I heard that there were many pirates here before the American War of Independence, but they gradually disappeared. Oh, speaking of Pirates of the Caribbean, I think of a story." The film version of "Pirates of the Caribbean" that still has some impressions was narrated: "This story happened in this sea area, about in the 17th century, when the Caribbean Sea was still the must for the European continent's merchant fleet to reach the Americas." place of passing...

Uninhibited Jack Sparrow is a famous pirate captain who is active in the Caribbean Sea. He owns the frightening pirate ship "Black Pearl". Wandering at sea, freely rob passing ships.But unfortunately, he was betrayed by his own men, and his "Black Pearl" was also stolen... Barbossa and his crew who stole the "Black Pearl" because they plundered the cursed Aztec gold coins were cursed evilly and turned into moonlight skeletons...

... After regaining his beloved "Black Pearl" and dealing with the cursed Captain Barbossa, Captain Jack Sparrow did not live a peaceful and happy life because of a bigger trouble. Killed him, the legendary undead Davy Jones!This devil, who is feared in the depths of the ocean, sailed through the wind and waves in his "Flying Dutchman", intending to demand a debt of blood from Captain Jack..."

Although after Zhang Lexing's "weakening", the ups and downs of the plot still deeply attracted Chen Zishan, and she was completely fascinated by it. She almost forgot to put the drink cup in her hand back on the table.Just when Zhang Lexing said that "Captain Jack Sparrow's friends Will, Elizabeth and the undead pirate Barbossa went to Singapore together, intending to persuade the pirate king Shao Feng", there was a burst of applause and applause from behind them. A familiar voice said, "Zhang, I haven't heard you tell a story for a long time. I didn't expect it to be so attractive."

Zhang Lexing looked back, and it turned out to be Steven Spielberg and James Cameron, both of whom were holding a glass of wine, and they seemed to have just walked over from somewhere nearby.

"Steve, Jim, you are here too. How is it, how does this trip feel?" Zhang Lexing greeted happily.

James Cameron raised his glass and said with a smile, "It feels like rum!"

"Yeah, it's great." Steven Spielberg also echoed, and then walked up to Zhang Lexing and said, "Zhang, the story you just told is also great, why don't you consider writing it into a script, I believe It must be very popular."

It was only then that Zhang Lexing remembered that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series seemed to take a few years to be made into a movie, and now it was just an ordinary Disney tour item, maybe even the script hadn't been filmed yet.

"This script should be very interesting! Who can I ask to make this story into a script?" Zhang Lexing was thinking in his heart.

……

In the next few days, the cruise ship visited Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas on New Providence Island, Paradise Island across the sea from Nassau, and the uninhabited Great Strapp Island.During this period, the guests on the cruise gradually left one after another. At the last stage of the itinerary, because almost everyone was gone, Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan simply changed to a luxury yacht to enjoy the discounted "world for two".

The two spent almost two weeks in the Bahamas before taking their own private plane to Valencia, Spain, where they were going to change boats and sail to their dream island to continue their rare honeymoon trip.

During this period, several shocking news came from the RB game world on the other side of the earth.First of all, "Final Fantasy 8", which has attracted much attention, set a new sales record of 218 million copies on the day of its launch, becoming the undisputed No.1 of today's home video games.Immediately afterwards, the undead SNK company launched the color-screen handheld NEO? GEOPocketColor, intending to continue to wrestle with Nintendo. Development camp.

Then, on March 3, a more shocking news was announced. Sony Computer Entertainment held a press conference called "PlayStationMeeting2". The basic data of the model.

According to President Ken Kutaragi: "...the follow-up model of PS will no longer be just a game console, but a "home entertainment computer" integrating games, movies, and music... The follow-up model is temporarily Named "PS2", the main processor is a 128-bit EE processor jointly developed by Sony and Toshiba, which is more powerful than the current advanced computers and workstations... The polygon processing capacity is as high as 7500 million per second... DVD is used as the game storage Media, with a larger capacity to enrich the performance of the game... It is planned to be compatible with the current PS games... It is expected that the listing price will be controlled within 50000 yen..."

At the press conference, the powerful image processing capability of PS2 was demonstrated through game demos specially created by Namco and Sony Entertainment Computer. "Tekken 3" and Reiko Nagase perfectly conquered the scene through real-time image calculation All the audiences, and they have brought them infinite reverie space for PS2.

Sony's press conference was held with vigor and vigor, and Nintendo, not to be outdone, took out its own counterattack weapon. On the one hand, it wooed Sega to develop games for it, and on the other hand, following Sony's press conference, it also held an N64 game Press conference for follow-up models.

Howard Lincoln, the chairman of Nintendo of America, revealed some secrets about the follow-up models at the press conference. A team called "Art-X" was responsible for the research and development of the new generation of consoles. They were also responsible for the development of the N64. Research and development work, although Howard Lincoln did not specifically describe the performance parameters of the new host, but he vowed that the performance of the new generation host is at least equal to Sony's PS2, and even better in some aspects.The most astonishing thing is that Howard Lincoln said that the new generation of consoles will use media other than cassettes. As soon as this news came out, many games developed for Nintendo game consoles were forced to compress and compress the game content due to the limited capacity of cassettes. No matter how compressed the developers can't help but burst into tears, they have been looking forward to it for many years, and they finally look forward to the day.

……

Time slowly came to March 3, the day before the opening of the Spring Tokyo Game Show (**S).It had just darkened, and Takashima Okamoto was hurrying forward on the street of Nishi Asakusa 18-chome, Tokyo, feeling both nervous and excited.Nervous because he heard an important news today, worried about some accidents, excited because he thought of the big reward he was about to get, he couldn't help it.

Takashima Okamoto is a commercial detective, or to put it bluntly, a commercial spy. Three months ago, he undertook an investigation project for a large company. He thought it would be easy, but he did not expect to gain anything after two months. No, the employer did not urge him, but Takashima is also a man with self-respect, he is not willing to accept such a failure at all.

Fortunately, things turned around last week. An unexpected encounter gave Takashima Okamoto a glimpse of the hope of completing the investigation project, so he disguised himself and sneaked into the office building located in Nishi-Shinjuku 128-chome, Shinjuku District. During the day today, he finally managed to get what he needed.Takashima Okamoto was very excited. Although he couldn't understand what the "AlternateFrameRendering" and "InverseDiscreteCosineTransform" mentioned in the document meant, the appearance of the entire document and the eye-catching "DreamBox1.02TechnicalManual (V[-] .[-])” was exactly the same as the photo his employer gave him, and it was definitely what he had been looking for.

After returning to his nest in Nishi Asakusa, Takashima Okamoto called his employer and made an appointment for the time and place to meet in the evening, and now he is going to the appointment.After walking for a while, Takashima Okamoto suddenly saw Tomiko's beautiful face and the white, smooth and plump devil's body that he was deeply obsessed with. It was a woman who made him spend more than half of his monthly income .

"After I get the reward for this time, I will find Tomiko tonight, and then I can..." Takashima Okamoto couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he thought about it.

Suddenly there was a loud brake sound, and a black commercial vehicle suddenly stopped beside Takashima Okamoto, and the door slid open with a swipe. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but before his body could react, Two strong hands stretched out from the car and dragged him directly into the car, then the door was closed, and the commercial vehicle drove away quickly along the road.

"First... gentlemen, did you recognize the wrong person?" Takashima Okamoto looked at the several strong men sitting on the left, right, and in front of him, and asked with a dry smile.

"That's right, we are looking for you, Mr. Takashima." A young man sitting in front of him with a cynical expression on his face patted his face with his hands, and said with a happy smile: "You left the office building today At that time, it seemed that I took something that didn't belong to you, and now it's in your briefcase, right?"

Takashima Okamoto's heart sank all of a sudden, and he involuntarily let go of the briefcase in his hand...
