Chapter 722 The Ultimate Urban Legend Easter Egg
For a long time, there has been an urban legend circulating in the United States. It is said that on a dark and windy night of one month, a full 20 container trucks set off from the secret warehouse of Atari in Texas to transport a A batch of mysterious cargo arrived in a desert in Alamogordo, New Mexico, and buried the devil's treasure deep under the desert.

This is a very famous urban legend in the United States. Many Americans have heard such a story when they were young, but they didn't know what Atari buried. Dali died completely, and this childhood memory disappeared forever.

Historically, this was only revealed in 2014

However, in this world in 2004, this mystery will be revealed in advance.

The cause was the Easter egg of Iron Man that was discovered before. At the beginning, Iron Man was playing Atari games on the Tianxing 5 mobile phone in the base of the armed organization.

But at the later stage of the movie, there is a piece of flesh, before Iron Man and his secretary, Iron Man was also using the Skystar 5 mobile phone, and his mobile phone just received a message.

However, there was no direct shot of the text message in the screen shown, only a sideways angle shot showing the content of the text message.

And the whole shot only lasted two seconds, it was absolutely impossible for a normal person to see what this text message was about.

However, there are always abnormal or idle people in this world.

During the second week of the film's release, a player excitedly posted on Atari's website, saying that he had found the specific location of the legendary demon treasure.

The specific situation is that he saw the text message while watching a movie, and then directly recognized the name of the city of Alamogordo in the text message.

This is a city that is also very inconspicuous in the United States, and its popularity is at most similar to that of Tongliao, but it can actually appear in Iron Man's text messages, which is very extraordinary.

More importantly, he watched the entire movie and found that there was no plot related to this city. In other words, he couldn't find out the meaning of this city appearing in the text message.

This made the idle audience burst into great interest in an instant. He began to search the information of Alamogordo City on the Internet, and then found this urban legend.

Then, he discovered that he seemed to have seen the word "devil" in the text message, and the whole thing was right.

And the guy who is idle around is also a technical nerd. He first managed to get a gun version of the movie video, and then intercepted dozens of frames from it, starting from one frame to the next. The clear text was deformed, synthesized, shifted the angle of view, magnified, etc., and finally turned the text into a state that could be read clearly.

The text is as follows: Boss, it has been confirmed that Atari's demon treasure is buried in area 23 of the Alamogordo landfill.

Then this technical geek was very excited to put his discovery on the Internet.

It's not that he doesn't want to find this legendary demon treasure independently, but according to reality, this location is in a public garbage dump.

I won’t say much about how bad the environment is here. The key point is that this is not something that ordinary people can dig out. If he dares to dig a piece of soil in that garbage dump, he will go directly to the prison in the next second. This must get the support of more people, and then jointly promote the progress of the excavation work.

So he posted the matter very simply, and at the same time wrote out the process of his discovery completely. After all, the process itself is also very magical.

As soon as this post was published on the Internet, it immediately caused a huge amount of discussion.

In addition to some people expressing excitement that the truth has been revealed, more people are curious about whether the easter egg that appeared in the movie is true or not.

Soon, the melon eaters were divided into two factions, one of which believed that this incident was completely fictitious. You must know that this is not a serious official announcement, but an easter egg of a movie, which is fictitious The fictitious text messages in the story are probably just the crew playing tricks, how could it be true.

However, some people say that this is true, because they checked the Marvel Pictures behind the movie and found that the boss is Jiangnan Group, and Jiangnan Group and Miguo Priority jointly acquired Atari, so the movie contains Atari's city The truth of the legend is entirely possible.

Then the two factions quarreled fiercely on the Internet, and quickly spread from the forum to Weibo, and from Weibo to the entire network.And the traditional media, which never dislike too many things, also participated in it one after another.

After all, they also grew up from such urban legends, and they are also very curious about the truth of this urban legend.

And these media are also keenly aware that if they can find a way to dig up this garbage dump, find this devil's treasure, and then broadcast live, wouldn't the advertising costs be sold to the sky!
So the media were more active than the melon-eaters. A few days later, the relevant news made the whole country excited.There is nothing in the world that can arouse people's curiosity more than news like treasure hunting. Many individuals and organizations have announced that they will start excavating garbage dumps.

All of a sudden, the whole of the United States is paying attention to the problem of a garbage dump, which can be called miraculous.

Because these easter eggs all came from "Iron Man", many viewers who were not interested in Iron Man but were attracted by the news of the urban legend began to walk into the cinema unconsciously to watch "Iron Man" , I want to see the easter egg scene in the news.

Of course, this does not mean that many people will go to the cinema specifically to watch an Easter egg, but many people who enter the cinema but do not know what movie to watch will unconsciously choose the movie "Iron Man".

It's like you're on a date with a girl, and the meal is over, but it's still around 7:00 pm.If you directly propose to open a room at this time, it will definitely win the girl's eyes, and it will also be very embarrassing.

But if it is proposed to go to the movies, the girl will definitely not refuse.When watching a movie, the two sides touch their little hands and calves to let the estrogen and male hormones communicate with each other. After coming out of the movie theater, it is already ninety o'clock in the evening. At this time, it is suggested to go to the open room to rest. Out of the ordinary?

For the film industry, the group they value most is not the fan group, but the passerby group.

The so-called passer-by group is that they did not express a clear need for which movie, they just walked into the movie theater because of various social needs, and they needed to choose one of the movies released at this time to watch.

So how to stand out among so many movies released at the same time and become the main choice target of all passers-by is the key to grasping the passers-by group.

Generally speaking, it is through big stars, big productions, special effects blockbusters and other elements to attract the audience, and Iron Man naturally has all of them.

And now there is an extra mysterious easter egg attribute, which naturally makes it even more invincible.

So in the third week when the legend started to ferment, although it did not exceed the peak box office of the second week, it still won a weekly box office of more than 3 million.

And the amazing thing is that in the 4th week, the box office in the 4th week was even higher than that of the 3rd week, reaching more than 8200 million US dollars, which almost surpassed the box office of the 2nd week. .

The result was the big news that the North American box office of Iron Man exceeded 5 million U.S. dollars in the first month of its release, and this big news itself made more viewers who didn't know much about Iron Man, curious, want to know what kind of movie it is. Movie, so I walked into the cinema, and as a result, according to the traditional data of the fifth week, the weekly box office was only a quarter of the first week’s box office, and it still won the box office of 6000 million U.S. dollars, breaking through the North American box office of 7 million U.S. dollars. Basically, it is a certainty, and there will be no problem with the global box office breaking through 8 million US dollars, or even 9-[-] million US dollars.

And if it can exceed 8 million US dollars, it can squeeze out Spider-Man 2 and become the No. 10 movie in the global movie box office rankings.

However, the possibility of becoming the box office champion in 2004 is not great, because this year's annual champion is "Shrek 2", with a total box office of 9.2 million US dollars.

Judging from Iron Man's current performance, the possibility of breaking through the global box office of 9 million US dollars is still very small.But the current achievements are enough to attract the attention of all Hollywood companies, not to mention that behind this movie is a film company invested by Huaxia Capital. Many filmmakers even started to shout wolf.

Because of an unexpected easter egg here, Iron Man has earned hundreds of millions of dollars more at the box office, and this number is still rising. On the other hand, Atari is conservatively concerned.

Atari, which had been quiet for a while, became popular again because of the appearance of this easter egg. Many reporters began to try to find Atari employees to conduct interviews, asking what was in the desert dump, but All he got was an enigmatic smile.

At this time, Atari suddenly announced the news that the 00 game mobile store jointly launched by Atari and 00 games was finally online.

The Skystar 4 and Skystar 5 mobile phones can be directly downloaded via the data cable, install the 00 mobile game hall on the phone from the computer, and then only need to connect to the PC, or connect to the wife, or directly use the 2G data signal network, You can directly access all the current Atari games, up to thousands of models, through the 00 mobile game hall.

At the same time, Atari also announced that after 20 years of silence, they released a brand new game called: Crazy Bird
