Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Afternoon.

Lu Zhiyao and Zhu Xiaozhi came to the studio.

This is still the local studio in Jingzhou where Lu Zhiyuan and the rest of the crew were already familiar.

Staff are already nervously busy making scenery and props.

Some of the scenes and props were obviously used in "A Good Tomorrow" and are science fiction themes. They can be changed slightly and reused.

However, this film has more big scenes and physical props than "A Good Tomorrow" and will have more prep work.

“Zhu Gui, are you sure we can start shooting now?” Lu Zhiyuan looked at the busy staff and the messy scene and got confused.

Zhu Xiaozhi nodded: “Of course, you can start shooting today. Try shooting a set of shots first. ”

Lu Zhiyuan was a little confused: “However, this scene and props are not ready...”

“And the actor? I haven't seen any other stars yet. ”

“Can't I just be awkward? ”

Zhu Xiaozhi smiled slightly: “It's okay, you have more plays yourself. We've arranged them for you. Let's get ready with both hands. Your plays will be filmed first, and then the scenes and props will be filmed and prepared. ”

Luke fell into silence.

For some reason, what's with the feeling of being deceived?

Continue walking inside, Zhu Xiaozhi leads Lu Zhijiao to a room full of green screens: “Most of the rest of the scene was filmed here. ”

“As for the exact scene… look at this concept diagram, it's very clear. ”

Zhu Xiaozhi flipped out a concept diagram from his phone and gave it to Lu Zhiyuan.

Luke reached out and took it.

From the picture, this should be the inside of a sci-fi scene starship with a very simple layout with a single dormant warehouse and a huge console.

There is a huge screen and a few small screens on the console, a single seat similar to the ship's position, a huge touch screen on the platform in front of the seat, a hemispherical instrument, and a number of buttons of different colors.

Luke turned around and looked at the shooting site and found that there was only one well made operating platform, one single seat and one single dormant bin, which should have been made by the prop set in a hurry over the past few days, all the other scenes were green screens.

“Zhu Zhi, this...”

Lu Zhiyuan's face was a bluff.

Previously on "A Great Tomorrow", at least the whole room was a ready-made view.

It's a new movie. How did it all turn green?

While all of this can be solved with special effects, and the more money you burn, the better the special effects, it is better to use off-the-shelf props and scenarios for authenticity.

Could it be... Zhu Zhui deliberately did more of the Green Screen Special Effect to cheat Bae's money?

Of course, Lu Zhiyuan couldn't ask so directly. He coughed twice and said: "Zhu Zhi, can't you use the previous" Good Tomorrow "set directly? It's all about science fiction anyway. Should it work? ”

Zhu Xiaozhi laughed: “Yes, you can see this dormant compartment, and the operating platform. These were urgently modified with the" Good Tomorrow "props. Otherwise, why do you think you can do it so quickly? ”

“As for why the outside scenes are all green screened, obviously because there are a lot of special effects here to achieve a special display effect. ”

“What exactly does it do… take your time before you know it. ”

“Take a look at the first script. ”

Zhu Xiaozhi said, taking out a few sheets of paper from the bag and handing it to Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhi reached for it and quickly browsed it from beginning to end.

“That's all?” Lu Zhi looked at the mist and the contents of these pieces of paper were endless and a little confusing.

Zhu Xiaozhi smiled slightly: “Didn't I tell you before, I won't give you all the scripts one by one, so that you can better understand the mood of the main character in the movie. ”

“Well, you find a place to sit, put on some makeup, change your clothes, put the script on the back of the scene, and I'll go outside and arrange their work. ”

Luke nodded remotely: "Okay, Zhu, do you want to wear a suit or an exoskeleton? ”

I hear it's a Star Wars theme. Must wear a cool space suit?

Somehow, there is still a slight expectation.

Although exoskeleton and other things can be very, very tired, but handsome!

“No, just put this on.” Zhu Xiaozhi greeted the costumer and makeup artist, who held a very common pair of dark grey fitted T-shirts and trousers.

Lu Zhiyuan: “…”

“Zhu Zhui, are you sure you're wearing this? Is everything all right? ”

Zhu Xiaozhi smiled slightly: “No problem, just wear this. If you don't understand, just read the script again. ”

Lu Zhiyuan was helpless and had to silently read the script again.

……

In the dormant compartment, first is a close-up feature.

Qin Yi's eyes were closed, but his eyes turned quickly, his eyebrows were wrinkling frequently, and a fine sweat bead seemed to be seeping through the dreadful nightmare on his forehead.

Suddenly, his eyes opened!

Blood fills his eyes, and his eyes are frightened.

The lens quickly pulled up, the dormant compartment automatically opened, Qin Yi flipped up and sat, his chest upside down, his right hand pressed his forehead, it took a while to come back to God.

Countless memories arrived. Qin Yi subconsciously looked at his right arm, and there was a staggering wound on it that completely penetrated the arm and even nearly tore it apart, but it had scabbed.

He implicitly remembered that earlier, when he was going deep into the insect nest, he tried to destroy the mini-reactor with a pistol through a crack in his chest combat suit, but without success, the wound left by the horny claw hole of the insect family.

“I'm alive? ”

Qin Yi was confused, he thought he had died in the insect nest.

But immediately after that, a scene came to mind before he died.

Keller Xu, Meng Yu, Yongxiu Zhao, Shaojun Xu... all members of the AS-371-45 team except Qin Yi died in the insect nest.

He remembered the sound and smile of these people, but between the eyes was the eternity of the celestial man.

However, Qin Yi soon emerged from this painful emotion and returned to calm and stood up from the dormant compartment.

He saw the big screen, the seat and the console not far away, but instead came to the edge of the room first and tried to leave.

The starship's capsule does not have a fixed exit, and walls around it can be turned into doors with authority.

But Qin Yi tried to push the wall, but found no response, indicating that he did not have the authority to leave here.

“Captain Qin, I'm sorry you haven't been granted permission to leave.” A gentle female voice rang.

Qin Yi turned his head and saw a holographic projection of a female space soldier in the middle of the room. It was a typical Oriental female image. The gentle smile carried some feminine softness and the soldier's refreshing appearance.

Qin Yi was silent for a moment: “The war is not over, is it? ”

The female soldier nodded holographically: "Yes. ”

Qin Yi sat flawlessly in the dormant compartment, his hands covered his face and took a long breath.

The holographic image of the female soldier tried to come towards Qin Yi, but Qin Yi's face quickly became cold and said in a silent voice: "AEEIS, back to the initial image. ”

Holographic images of female soldiers stopped and gradually became transparent and disappeared.

Later, a light blue data stream emerges in the middle of the sky and converges into an audio image that fluctuates with sound.

AEEIS 'voice became a cold, emotionless electronic voice: “Captain Qin Yi, perhaps you are angry now, but humankind needs you to continue fulfilling your mission as a soldier. ”

Qin Yi's voice was low, suppressing anger: “The Bug Queen is dead, but the war is not over, why? I want the truth. ”

AEEIS: "Because of reserve service and insect nest awareness. ”

“The Bug Queen is a high life form, highly intelligent and precautionary, avoiding a mass crisis caused by her own death. The Bug Queen will give birth to a sub-queen hidden in the nests, and once the queen dies, one of these sub-queens will randomly become a new queen. ”

“Insect nest consciousness is the foundation of the rule of the entire insect family by the Queen of Insects. Simply put, it is psychosensory, conscious uploading, and conscious connection. The Bug Queen is able to control all the bugs, precisely because of the nest consciousness. ”

“At the moment of the death of an insect queen, it is possible to transmit all of her consciousness through the insect consciousness network, and then in some corner of the insect herd, a sub-queen acquires all of the queen's consciousness and re-serves as the command centre. ”

Qin Yi's face became gloomy: “Did this information come to light before or after the beheading? ”

“I want to hear the real answer. ”

AEEIS silenced for two seconds: “Before. ”

Qin Yi took a deep breath: “So as we went deeper into the wormnest, we saw fragments of the Skylark II battle suit. ”

“You lied to everyone, you knew it was almost impossible to succeed, and even if it did, it wouldn't make any sense, but you still let hundreds of teams die? ”

“Is this your decision, or the decision of the Supreme Executive Council, or the decision of the Commander? ”

AEEIS did not respond positively: “This operation certainly makes sense. ”

“Insect nest awareness is broad, but not limitless; it also takes some time for the second queen to become a new queen. During this time, we have achieved fruitful results on the frontal battlefield. ”

“Everyone's sacrifice is for the ultimate victory. ”

Qin Yi coldly said: “As a soldier, I can accept sacrifice, but not deception! ”

His right hand was held tight by anger, but soon it let loose, and the teammates' faces flashed in front of him again, but there was nothing he could do.

“I applied for three months off, went back to Blue Star, and returned to the fleet three months later. ”

“By then, I will have sacrificed as you wish. ”

AEEIS: “Sorry, Captain Qin, I can't comment on your request. ”

“The Supreme Executive Council of the Blue Star Joint Fleet has appointed you as the new Commander to direct the battle against the Bugs. ”

“Blue Star, I need you to save me. ”
