Dear Mr Cai,

Thank you for your proposal about virtual reality. I’m very interested in RealCine. However, before using it in my next film, there are some points I   1like to mention.

I think viewers will be impressed by a film that   2them to be a character in the film. The example of climbing Mount Qomolangma   3me with a deep impression. I think it is wonderful that the low temperature may be felt by the viewer, but I am not sure   4the sense of achievement will be experienced via virtual reality. It seems to me that it all depends on the viewer who is watching the film. I like the   5that virtual reality can provide teenagers   6a way to experience the world, for example, by experiencing the   7of football player. I think my grandfather will be   8by the idea that even old people can be sent on adventures. It’s fantastic. But I don’t know how much money will be needed to   9such a film. I’m worried that RealCine may be too expensive for   10people to afford. We are not ready to   11the risk of investing in RealCine yet. However, I have   12about your proposal to other people in my company, and the idea is being considered by them. I will let you know our final decision soon.

Yours sincerely,

ChengYige
