The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 187: The stunning 30-second trailer made the entire summer vacation anything but peaceful!

……

end of June.

Some universities have already begun preparing for summer vacation.

As for junior high and high school students, they are not so lucky. Many schools have tutoring programs, not to mention those who are in their final year of junior high and high school.

"Brother, it's so hot here in the Flaming Mountains. The temperature has reached over 45 degrees Celsius these past few days. I'm really going to faint from the heat."

"Moreover, in order to achieve realism, the director used a real whip to lash me. Luckily, I was quick-witted and wore protective pants underneath... otherwise, I would definitely have scars on my feet."

Reba would call Lu Zhiyuan from time to time.

Because if she didn't make that call, Lu Zhiyuan would never have called her on his own initiative.

The filming of "Anarhan" lasted for three and a half months, starting in mid-May and continuing until the end of August.

She had never been away from Lu Zhiyuan for such a long time.

I really miss it so much.

"Is the director really that unreliable? Doesn't she know that every inch of your skin is priceless? Give me her phone number, I'll talk to her myself."

Reba is my unfinished world-famous painting, and I wouldn't even be willing to whip her with a real whip.

Before throwing her into the sea, I put at least three layers of protection on her. It looks dangerous, but there shouldn't be any problems.

But how could any other director be so careless with Dilraba?
Lu Zhiyuan was instantly displeased.

"No need, no need. I've already spoken with the director, and she said it was her fault for not doing her job properly and apologized to me."

Reba was secretly delighted.

Upon hearing that he had almost been whipped, Lu Zhiyuan immediately switched out of robot mode and even appeared somewhat angry.

What does this mean?
This shows that Lu Zhiyuan cares a lot about himself!

Haha!

I reckon even Miss Jing Tian doesn't receive this kind of treatment.

“Dilraba, how many assistants do you have with you right now? If not, I’ll have Xiao Ai hire two more for you. In addition, you should have an executive agent with you. If any problems arise on set, the executive agent can communicate with the production team.”

"Filming outside is different from filming within your own company."

As a big-name celebrity, even if you want to raise issues, you should have your executive agent communicate with the director.

Actors are only responsible for acting.

It's best not to waste your time on other random things; this will help you maintain better focus.

Although Reba is a smart person, she is not smart enough to handle three or four things at the same time.

Besides, hiring a few assistants and bringing in an executive agent won't cost much.

"Brother, I understand."

Reba felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Lu Zhiyuan cared about her a lot and even came up with a solution for her.

This is absolutely unprecedented treatment.

"By the way, bro, did you know that Sister Mi is joining my studio?"

Dilraba knew that if she didn't speak for three seconds, Lu Zhiyuan would most likely hang up the phone and go about his work.

If she doesn't want the call to end so quickly, she has to keep finding topics to talk about.

"Brother Kun told me about it. Congratulations on finding a naturally gifted 'Ox-Horse Body'. Although Sister Mi is often half-hearted and not focused enough when acting, she is very serious about making money."

If Yang Mi joins Dilraba's studio, no matter how much money she earns, she will have to give Dilraba a cut, which may not be much, around 30%.

However, little by little, it adds up.

Yang Mi is very good at making money.

Dilraba takes 10 million yuan from Yang Mi every year, which adds up to 100 million yuan in 10 years.

Dilraba could even become a wealthy woman by having Yang Mi work like a slave for her.

However, this matter sounds rather bizarre at first glance.
In another timeline, Dilraba was Yang Mi's top lieutenant, earning Yang Mi a fortune... Of course, Yang Mi was just a minor shareholder of Jaywalk Studio.

Most importantly, it made a lot of money for Zeng Jia, the big boss.

At this moment, Lu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered a piece of gossip he had read before.

Jaywalk Studio is such a terrible company. Not only did they not allow Dilraba to open her own studio, but when she first joined the company, she also had to pay money to buy shares in the company.

At that time, Reba had just started working and didn't have much money.

Although her parents have decent jobs, they are just an ordinary family. They would definitely hesitate if they suddenly had to spend a lot of money to buy company shares.

After all, this is essentially paying someone to work, which sounds unreliable.

"Dilraba, Honey has switched to your studio. What about her manager, Zeng Jia? Is she coming with her? Are you going to take a cut of her salary?"

what?
Reba was a little dumbfounded when she heard Lu Zhiyuan's question.

Can agents also take a cut of their salaries?

Is there such a rule in the industry?

Dilraba felt that she was still too naive and had never heard of such a thing before.

"I don't know. After all, Sister Mi hasn't officially signed with them yet; her contract with Meiya hasn't expired."

It was Miss Jing Tian who helped her negotiate Yang Mi joining her studio, which made Dilraba feel a little strange.

"Dilraba, to be honest with you, I don't like Yang Mi's agent, Zeng Jia. If she joins your studio in the future, you should be a little careful."

"If she does anything strange, just tell Brother Kun. Brother Kun knows how to handle this kind of thing."

There's practically no one easy to deal with around Yang Mi.

Upon closer examination, although Yang Mi is considered intelligent in the entertainment industry, she was still completely outmaneuvered by others.

It can only be said that Yang Mi's intelligence is only reflected in her gossiping.

They have poor judgment and often misjudge people.

They can basically be considered a double-blind duo together with Liu Shishi.

"Brother, I'll listen to you. Anyway, even if Zeng Jia is a demon or monster with extraordinary cultivation, she can't escape your discerning eyes."

Dilraba believes she is definitely one of the smartest people in the entertainment industry.

However, Kun is much smarter and more cunning than her.

However, even the clever and cunning Kun was completely suppressed by Lu Zhiyuan without him saying a word.

This shows that her brother Yuan is truly an exceptionally intelligent person.

"Okay, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to work overtime tonight to edit out the first trailer for Pacific Rim."

"You, over there at Flaming Mountain, be careful to protect yourself from the sun and avoid heatstroke."

“I don’t want you to leave me all clean and beautiful, only to come back tanned and skinny, looking like a country bumpkin.”

Lu Zhiyuan had never been to Flaming Mountain, but just by hearing the name of the place, he knew it was definitely a furnace.

Being an actor is really not easy.

With Dilraba's current status, it doesn't really matter whether she makes the TV series "Anarhan" or not.

However, this is the first original TV series produced in Reba's hometown, and it has significant cultural and artistic value.

As the first superstar in Uyghur history, the production team extended an invitation to Dilraba and even found her father to act as an intermediary. Could Dilraba refuse?
Both emotionally and rationally, we cannot refuse.

Therefore, she had no choice but to endure this hardship.

……

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhiyuan continued editing his trailer.

Although this trailer won't be very long.

However, he needs to select some impactful material without revealing too much of the film's true content.

Finding the right balance in this process is quite difficult.

After much deliberation...

Lu Zhiyuan selected three clips, each about 10 seconds long.

……

The first segment.

The waters near Tokyo Bay were originally calm, and ships were sailing slowly.

Suddenly, an abnormally large wave rolled up, causing the surrounding ships to rock violently, and the sailors on the deck were thrown about by the wave.

Immediately afterwards, a gigantic monster slowly emerged from the deep sea.

The monster's design is inspired by the form of a dragon, with a long tail and fleshy wings hidden beneath its forelimbs.

Its tail is retractable, and the tip has a scissor-like horny appendage, resembling a giant sword blade.

At that moment, the monster that appeared on the sea surface flicked its tail and slammed it onto a giant ship sailing in Tokyo Bay.

To reflect authenticity...

In that brief one-second attack, Lu Zhiyuan spent over a million US dollars on special effects.

The ship did not break apart immediately when it was struck by the monster's tail.

Instead, it creaked.

Based on actual physical properties, the stress concentration at the moment of attack caused slight cracks to appear at the weld points of the steel plates on the hull.

At the same time, the enormous lateral shear force caused the steel plates of the hull to exhibit a wavy deformation similar to folds.

The ship itself began to bend laterally due to the excessive bending moment.

A visible arc-shaped bulge appears at the location of the deck and keel.

This demonstrates the immense power of this monster.

The attacked ship was a typical medium-sized ocean-going freighter with a capacity of 10,000 tons, with a total height of about 20 meters, a draft of 7 meters, and a waterline height of about 13 meters.

The first Apostle monster was designed by Lu Zhiyuan based on the proportions of large dogs compared to human height.

If the Jaeger is around 200 meters tall, then this first Apostle monster would be about 130 meters tall and weigh 5400 tons.

It walks on all fours, can swim, and can fly.

Combining the ferocious features of reptiles, the wing structure is inspired by bats, but covered with a metallic armor, giving it both a biological feel and a sense of mechanical oppression.

In addition, it has a large venom sac on its chin, which stores highly corrosive chemical mucus.

The surface of the venom sac is covered with fluorescent patterns, much like those of a deep-sea creature.

……

In just 10 seconds, the monster appears, demonstrating its immense destructive power, followed by a super close-up of the monster from beginning to end.

Especially the final moment at the end of the shot.

The camera suddenly zoomed in from a distance, rapidly closing the distance to the monster.

At the end, Lu Zhiyuan designed a slow-motion close-up shot, almost face to face, for a deep eye contact with the monster.

In that instant, the camera slowed down, making everything exceptionally clear.

The monster's breath sounded like a steam train whistling, terrifying and piercing.

This metallic breathing sound, rough and deep, makes your heart skip a beat.

At this moment, if the audience were in a 3D IMAX theater, they would most likely be able to clearly see the terrifying slime left at the corner of the monster's mouth.

After this shot, the monster dives down and disappears below the surface of the sea.

As the waves on the sea surface surged, they rushed rapidly toward the port of Tokyo Bay... Although the monster's specific shape was not revealed, the deadly sense of crisis, the murderous intent lurking deep in the sea that was about to erupt at any moment, was visibly palpable.

It made people hold their breath.

This immersive danger experience is so realistic!
I felt suffocated.

"not bad."

"It wasn't in vain that I spent time in the studio, working overtime to discuss the presentation with him."

"Schwarzschild is actually quite good at special effects, but unfortunately, he has the same problem as Kun Ge: he just wants to be lazy."

These special effects shots were basically made by Schwarzschild and his team at Lu Zhiyuan's request.

Otherwise, if it were outsourced to another company, they wouldn't have done such a detailed job for Lu Zhiyuan.

Even when a ship is attacked by a monster, it must be depicted in a realistic physical state.

This is the advantage of having your own special effects company.

If you can think of something, you can get your employees to bring it to life... Only by having absolute control over the special effects company can you create your own unique visual identity!

……

The camera shifts to the second scene.

The bells of the mountain shrine rang out, filled with a sense of urgency.

At the same time, an earthquake-like rhythm came from beneath my feet, as if some monster was stepping on the heart of the earth.

Keiko Kitagawa, dressed in a kimono and practicing martial arts, turned her head to look towards Tokyo Bay, where a giant monster had already landed.

She twirled her sword with a flourish and then sheathed it.

The scene shifts, and Keiko Kitagawa is now dressed in a combat suit that resembles a spacesuit, and enters the cockpit of the [Onimusha] mecha.

In an instant, rows of virtual screens lit up inside the cockpit.

It's full of science fiction elements.

"Onimusha, activate Neural Synergy Mode!"

With a tremendous roar of the turbines and flashes of dazzling data, a series of powerful data streams appeared.

Keiko Kitagawa closed her eyes, and her whole body began to shake violently, following the hydraulic dynamic cockpit.

The violent tremor caused the muscles on Kitagawa Keiko's face to tremble. Her eyes narrowed slightly, but her gaze remained resolute.

On the outside, the Onimusha mech, whose original pitch-black steel armor had begun to slowly light up with a dazzling array of lights.

Especially on the mecha's cheeks, where the eyes were, two red lights shone, like will-o'-the-wisps, but they were extremely sharp.

Boom!

The next moment, the Oni Warrior stood up.

Behind this giant mech, two massive cables retracted back into the wall.

"Boom! Boom!"

As the mechanical doors opened, the [Onimusha] mecha hunter took heavy steps and began to walk out of the maintenance warehouse.

The 200-meter-tall Jaeger, weighing over 5000 tons, can cause the ground to crack open and its foot to sink into the earth when it steps on it.

To avoid sinking too much, the mech hunter's feet instantly spread out, more than doubling in size, effectively reducing pressure and increasing ground support.

Lu Zhiyuan's version is much more detailed than the original.

A 200-meter-tall mech hunter will naturally move differently from a normal person.

The Jaeger's every move looks very slow, but it is actually very fast in relative speed.

One step forward, and you've covered 100 meters.

To distinguish it from normal humans, this step takes about two seconds.

This speed of movement makes the entire Jaeger appear very slow, but the more so, the more realistic it seems.

Because, for a mech hunter, covering 100 meters in two seconds is nothing special.

However, at the instant of taking that step, the pilot inside the Jaeger's cockpit experienced an instantaneous acceleration exceeding 5g!

This is the limit that an ordinary human being can withstand!
In comparison, the acceleration of an F1 car, even at its limit braking, is around 5-6g.

This is the limit of what humans can withstand! Any further, and the human neck will not be able to keep up!
F1 drivers' necks are therefore much thicker than those of ordinary people!

In pursuit of realism, Lu Zhiyuan even controlled the speed of the mecha hunters to make everything appear so realistic and powerful.

It looks like a real hard science fiction movie, rather than a fantasy movie like Marvel.

"5.1g!"

"That little rascal, Adi, will probably faint. But for me, it'll be a piece of cake."

"Onimusha, speed up! Run!"

To prevent viewers from being confused, Lu Zhiyuan designed a line for Kitagawa Keiko, bringing up Hanikezi, an untrained ordinary person, to compare the difficulty of controlling a mecha.

At that moment, the mechanical turbines roared, and the [Onimusha] began to run, its movements halting and mechanical, unlike any other living being.

The original Apostle monsters, while possessing the agility of ordinary creatures, were too large in size and therefore had no advantage in speed when facing Jaeger Hunters.

The two colossal objects collided head-on, smashing the port and docks outside Tokyo Bay to pieces.

The seawater surged wildly, leaving a scene of devastation outside the Tokyo Bay pier.

The crowd began to flee, screams and the sound of ambulances filled the air.

The sense of order unique to human civilization collapsed completely at this moment.

……

The clash between the Jaeger and the monster is fleeting, merely a gesture to convey to the audience that this is a science fiction action film.

The battle between mechs and monsters is the theme of the movie.

The next moment, the camera switched to the third scene.

Under the low-saturation LED lights, in the cold, metallic laboratory, there is a solitary capsule that has been opened.

A cyborg with a mechanical feel gently stroked a face inside a capsule with its long, slender metal fingers.

The camera slowly zooms in.

Inside the capsule was a fresh body—it was Reba.

Looking at that cold and beautiful face, the cyborg's mechanical eyes flickered with electronic lights, as if it were thinking about something.

At that moment, as if by magic, Miss Jing Tian suddenly appeared in the corner of the laboratory and spoke coldly, "Alita, are you not satisfied?"

"Clap!"

She snapped her fingers lightly.

The next moment, the LED lights above the laboratory suddenly went out, followed by a series of clicking sounds as if a lock was being opened on the laboratory wall.

Immediately, all the capsules opened, revealing dozens of bodies, all of them identical to Reba.

The scene was both shocking and bizarre!

“Welcome to the new world!”

As Miss Jing Tian uttered this standard line.

The screen gradually went dark.

Then, amidst the sounds of banging and banging, like pile driving at a construction site, a string of words exuding a metallic aura emerged.

—【Pacific Rim, the real world of mechs, stay tuned!】

……

This trailer is about 30 seconds long. Lu Zhiyuan originally wanted to edit a 15-second one, but there was simply no content that could be edited out of 15 seconds.

Because every frame of the footage he shot for this film was breathtakingly beautiful, filled with the roar of steel.

He couldn't bear to make even a single cut.

He wished he could cram all the material into this movie and make it into a 300-minute TV series.

Each episode is 100 minutes long and consists of three parts: upper, middle, and lower.

If that's the case, TV drama viewers will be overjoyed.

pity.

The experience would be greatly diminished if the movie couldn't be watched in a 3D IMAX theater.

……

Lu Zhiyuan finished making this 30-second trailer.

I checked the time; it was already past 11 p.m.

Miss Jing Tian has already returned to her hometown to film "Time Raiders," so for the time being, no one is urging Lu Zhiyuan to go home and sleep.

"Dilraba, are you asleep?"

After finishing editing the 30-second trailer, Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help but want to find someone to share it with, discuss it, and see if there were any areas for improvement.

We can't get in touch with Brother Kun.

After filming the outdoor scenes, it's time for Kun Ge to take a break.

Kun Ge had been holding back for who knows how long, and he definitely needed to relax for a while, so Lu Zhiyuan didn't want to spoil his mood.

Let's go find Dilraba again.

Under her own influence, Dilraba has become quite artistically refined, and her speech has become more and more organized. She would be more than capable of being her own assistant.

"Brother, I'm not asleep, I'm wide awake!"

Dilraba was already asleep.

But the phone was right next to my pillow.

Just then, her phone vibrated, and when she saw Lu Zhiyuan asking if she was asleep, she immediately woke up and was so excited that she almost jumped out of bed.

Lu Zhiyuan was looking for himself late at night.

Hey!
"Dilraba, do you have a computer with you? I'll send you a video, take a look, and give me some feedback after you've watched it."

After Lu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he sent the 30-second trailer to Dilraba.

……

Dilraba, her hair disheveled, jumped out of bed and hurriedly turned on her computer to view the short video.

It only took 30 seconds to watch.

However, she couldn't help but replay it again.

The more you look at it, the more sleepy you become.

"So handsome!"

"Seriously, if I could make a movie like this in my lifetime, I would die without regrets!"

"Real Steel" is cool, but the main character is Hanikezi.

Upgrade is also very cool, but the main character is Keanu Reeves, and Dilraba only got an important subplot.

It was all thanks to the character setting that Lu Zhiyuan created for her, which was too perfect, that she gained countless fans.

As for the movie "Pacific Rim," putting everything else aside... the scene where Lu Zhiyuan reappeared for her was absolutely brilliant.

That was absolutely a memorable moment!

Based on this one scene, Dilraba reckons that if the Oscars don't act up, she'll most likely be nominated for Best Actress again!
Unfortunately, the Oscars have started to go erratic in the last two years.

Commercial films are almost never given any awards anymore, and even nominations have become rare.

However, Dilraba really wants to say to those judges, "My brother's commercial films are more artistic than art films!"

"Brother, how can you be so handsome?"

"I really can't describe how much I admire and love you."

"I remember when I was filming this scene in front of the green screen, I just stretched out my finger and pointed at the air without any expression."

"How did you manage to create such an amazing scene for me in the blink of an eye?"

If she hadn't still had a shred of rationality, Dilraba would have really wanted to confess her feelings to Lu Zhiyuan over the phone. She not only wanted to have three children with him, but also wanted to buy him paint for the rest of his life.

Buy him his favorite, the German Schmincke brand of Master Artist!

Even Miss Jing Tian probably doesn't know the brand of this paint.

"Making a movie is quite boring during filming. Not only are the actors bored, but I, as the director, am also quite bored. But after post-production, isn't it more interesting than making a TV series?"

"The kind that gives you a super sense of accomplishment?"

Upon seeing Dilraba, he became incoherent, but Lu Zhiyuan just smiled and didn't think anything of it.

He was actually quite excited himself.

This is a true heavy-industry film.

It's a mecha action film that he painstakingly created by combining the talents of disaster film master Roland Emmerich with his own many other talents.

It is a unique existence in the entire history of film!
"Hmm."

"Brother, when will this video be finished? I'll repost it as soon as you release it through official channels."

"I can imagine my little fans going crazy!"

Film is the art of the director.

Although Dilraba has many fans, those fans may not be willing to pay for her movies... Just like Miss Jing Tian, ​​who was manipulated into having "Jing Tian content".

The lower the [content], the more likely the movie is to become a classic.

Miss Jing Tian managed to trigger this reverse buff.

But Dilraba knew very well that netizens were just teasing Jing Tian, ​​saying that she was making bad movies every day and that she was only able to make money because of the famous director Lu Zhiyuan.

However, while fans may not necessarily be willing to buy tickets for Dilraba's movie, they will certainly be willing to generate buzz for her, maximizing the advertising effect of the trailer.

"Female celebrities' fans are generally career-oriented. Dilraba, the better your career is, the more stable your fan base will be."

“You are becoming more and more inspired, and your acting skills are getting better and better. When you act, you are becoming more and more insightful and full of confidence. Sometimes, I don’t even need to say much, and you can think of some details to fill in the kind of scene I need.”

"This feeling is wonderful. Keep it up."

The peerless artifact that I crafted myself, bit by bit, is just different when I use it.

It fully adapts to your own feelings.

When filming "Upgrade", Lu Zhiyuan also had to guide Dilraba little by little, cultivate her artistic temperament, and teach her how to show her charm.

At that time, Dilraba's acting skills were very poor.

Lu Zhiyuan played to her strengths and avoided her weaknesses, often refraining from giving Dilraba close-ups, instead filming the bulging veins on her arms and her trembling thighs.

They just won't give her a close-up of her face.

During the filming of "Real Steel," he was already able to give close-ups of Dilraba's face.

Dilraba's smile exudes confidence, as if she's constantly showcasing her charm.

Her face always radiated youthfulness, along with a cunning and lively quality, making her look like an exceptionally intelligent battle angel.

Dilraba, who is not yet 20 years old, is young, energetic, and at the peak of her beauty.

Then Lu Zhiyuan needed a stunningly beautiful face that appealed to both Chinese and Western audiences to shoot a science fiction film.

Everything happened at the perfect time, not too early, not too late.

This is fate.

"Brother, what you're saying is making me a little shy. How could I be as good as you say?"

The robot brother so bluntly praised my looks, said I was a good actress, and that I had great charisma; he must be in love with me.

Haha!

Unfortunately, I'm not rich enough.

When will I be richer than Sister Tian Tian?

The thought of Jing Tian, ​​the invincible boss, standing in front of her made Dilraba a little melancholy.

"Keep up the good work, and don't get too tanned."

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Zhiyuan hung up the phone.

……

The next morning, Lu Zhiyuan went to his senior classmate to ask her to help him create a simple background music.

A 30-second trailer doesn't need too much background music.

Besides the original mechanical roaring sound, there's just some background music for the monsters, like those dull, low-frequency sound effects.

It could also be heavy percussion, as well as dissonant chords.

In short, there are many methods.

A musically talented woman like my senior will definitely not disappoint me.

……

Three days later.

By July 2nd, most schools should have started their summer vacation.

After summer vacation started, even college students were too lazy to go out and date. The boys stayed home playing video games, and the girls stayed home watching TV series.

During this period, gaming forums often experience their highest traffic.

After summer vacation begins, many students start searching for various games on gaming forums, hoping to find a game worth playing and enjoy it to the fullest for the entire summer.

This is true both in China and abroad.

"Holy crap! What game is this? It's awesome!"

"Mech Hunters fighting monsters?"

"Can players control mech hunters and realistically simulate physical environments?"

"5.1g acceleration? Ordinary people can't handle that? Hold on a minute, these days, is the barrier to entry for playing a game this high? Do you even need to understand physics?"

"But he's really handsome."

"Pacific Rim, a realistic mecha world, stay tuned?"

"No way, this is a trailer... How am I supposed to wait? Dude, just release the game already! Even if you don't release the game, at least give us an official website, right?"

"Otherwise, what if I can't get a test account?"

……

Someone discovered a game whose trailer, though only 30 seconds long, is incredibly well-made and so captivating that it's impossible to put down once you've seen it.

"Brothers, I saw a game CG that's incredibly cool. It's the coolest game CG I've ever seen in my life."

"Can anyone tell me where I can download this game?"

Is this an online game or a single-player game?

"With so much money spent on game CG, how can the game company stop until they make tens of billions? I've got my money ready, give me the game link!"

At this moment, internet-addicted teenagers who had not seen the movies "Upgrade" and "Real Steel" began frantically begging on various social media platforms for a link.

They were convinced that this was a groundbreaking game.

We have to start playing first.

Once you've leveled up, whether you're showing off to your classmates or playing with girls in the game, you'll feel incredibly proud.

It doesn't matter if I don't want to play anymore.

When the time comes, once the account is sold, it will take off like a rocket.

They might even have enough money for next semester's expenses.

"Upstairs, Pacific Rim isn't a game. It's a science fiction movie. It's the third science fiction movie directed by the great director Lu Zhiyuan, and I've been waiting for half a year."

"I didn't expect the big director to have changed his ways and release the trailer so early."

"I remember that the trailers for 'Real Steel' and 'Upgrade' were basically released at the end of October or the beginning of November."

"Releasing the trailer five months early. It seems Pacific Rim has big ambitions."

After making a few comments, someone asked the other person where they had seen the trailer.

Upon learning that the trailer had appeared on a gaming forum, the number of people chatting in the group suddenly decreased significantly.

I guess everyone went online to watch the trailer.

"Wow! This trailer is so cool!"

Alita has been resurrected!

"Brothers, Alita the Battle Angel has been resurrected! It's so cool... Dozens of bodies, I can switch between them anytime."

"A new world has arrived!"

"So this is the new world. If your body breaks down, you can just replace it. You no longer have to worry about getting sick or becoming disabled."

"Downloading memories to an AI chip and replacing them with a single click is incredibly convenient."

"I've decided to study biology in college and research the bodies of beautiful girls! I hope that in my lifetime I can use Dilraba's DNA to create an Alita-like body for me to be my wife."

"Wow! This goal is too ambitious! It's so exciting. Just so you know, I'm a fan of Dilraba, and I have a way to get her hair for you to make Alita's body! But after it's made, I'll need one too."

"Hey you two upstairs, just a friendly reminder: what you're discussing violates our country's criminal law, and I've already called the police."

Most netizens are basically just people who enjoy themselves.

They are well aware that things like clones and AI chips, which can download and upload data, are basically superstition.

At the current rate of scientific development, it may not be possible to achieve this within 100 years.

But that doesn't stop everyone from letting their imaginations run wild and indulging in daydreams.

Who can blame Lu Zhiyuan for making his movies so realistic? Even when it comes to the robot hunter sport, he calculated that the acceleration is 5.1g, which is the limit that humans can withstand.

What can you do if you make a mech hunter run 100 meters in a second?
The reality is that while Jaeger pilots might be able to run that fast, assuming a sudden change in materials science, human pilots wouldn't be able to withstand it and would simply pass out.

This means that if a mech hunter wants to run 100 meters, it must take two seconds, not one second.

……

The trailer was released not long ago.

That afternoon, it went viral across the entire internet.

"Brother Yuan, I've never met anyone as wicked as you. I've only just started summer vacation, and you've already shown me a trailer and posted it on a game forum, making me mistakenly believe it's a mecha game."

“As an adult, I can accept your premature release of information. But my younger brother is only in elementary school, and he's already drooling with envy... I told him it was a movie trailer, but he didn't care and insisted that I buy him the game disc.”

Comments like the one above are rampant on Lu Zhiyuan's Weibo.

However, Lu Zhiyuan rarely uses Weibo, as the renowned director is currently busy with post-production.

So, this group of people flocked to Dilraba's Weibo, Miss Jing Tian's Weibo, and even Sun Honglei and Duan Yihong's Weibo.

"Shishi, I remember you also acted in 'Pacific Rim'. Can you give us a definite answer? Are you capable of it?"

Liu Shishi's fans noticed the lively discussions on other celebrities' Weibo accounts, with many asking about specific details of the movie "Pacific Rim".

Not to be outdone, they came over and asked Liu Shishi to respond as well.

Aside from Dilraba Dilmurat, the female lead, Liu Shishi is probably one of the most important characters in the movie "Pacific Rim".

She should have a lot to say on this.

Looking at the increasing number of comments under her Weibo post, Liu Shishi sighed, unsure how to respond.

Because movies are definitely a good option.

Her role will likely be very outstanding.

But what worried her was that Kun Ge hinted that her character might not appear in the next sequel.

In other words, her role has been completed.

This struck Liu Shishi like a thunderbolt, leaving her speechless with grievance... In fact, she had already sensed something during the filming process.

Her acting skills did not meet Lu Zhiyuan's requirements.

It wasted a lot of close-up shots that Lu Zhiyuan had carefully prepared for her.

She didn't want to either.

However, that's just how her eyes are; even if she stares intently at someone, there's always a hazy quality to her gaze.

This hazy feeling, in some romance movies, might add to the atmosphere for the audience.

But Lu Zhiyuan is making a monster mecha sci-fi movie!

The goal is to create an epic feel.

Her damn hazy gaze doesn't fit this kind of movie at all.

Liu Shishi also knew that this was neither Lu Zhiyuan's fault nor her own.

All I can say is that fate was playing tricks on her.

……

"Dilraba, have you seen the trailer? It's so awesome!"

“I knew before that our Brother Yuan was very talented. But I never imagined that Brother Yuan could be this talented.”

"Reba, when are you coming back? Let's have a good talk. From now on, you'll be my boss, my big sister."

"However, we need to compete from a different angle and unite against external forces to seize resources from female celebrities outside. For example, Liu Yifei and Fan Bingbing."

"You take out Fan Bingbing, I'll take out Liu Yifei."

"As long as we take down these two, the fashion resources on the market will be enough for the two of us to eat until we're sick of them."

Yang Mi is currently feeling as if she's riding high on a spring breeze.

She also saw the trailer for Pacific Rim.

It has to be said that Lu Zhiyuan, that damned robot, has a flawed personality and is a bit arrogant, but his talent is truly overflowing.

So cool!
The 30-second trailer gives you an overwhelming sense of epic scale.

It was truly breathtaking.

No director in China can capture this feeling.

Even in Hollywood, they are among the top.

She was completely blinded by greed, actually rejecting his invitation back then... If time could turn back, Yang Mi felt she would definitely go crazy and fawn over Lu Zhiyuan.

However, it's not too late now.
