This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 141 Scarlett's Favor
Chen Yuan generously shared his ideas using the "Face-to-Face Sharing" feature.
The art team produces a large number of movie props with a unified style every day, including Night City models, cybernetic body models, cyber weapons, futuristic cars and motorcycles, and so on.

At the beginning, there were many conflicts within the team due to language and other cultural differences, and indeed some foreigners looked down on Chinese people.

However, due to Chen Yuan's favoritism, the quantity and quality of the creative ideas from the Chinese team were significantly higher than those from the team Columbia Pictures found for Chen Yuan.
Everyone speaks based on their own abilities, and these discordant voices within the team are becoming less and less frequent.
Encouraged by Chen Yuan, their teamwork improved as they developed a tacit understanding, leading to higher and higher work efficiency.

Actors with a lot of action scenes joined the crew in early June for action and firearms training.
The actors also had to get used to the feeling of filming with a lot of prosthetic props on their skin and clothes.

Even with steroids, Lawrence Fishburne couldn't grow to the size of Mann from the anime.

However, he is also 1.83 meters tall and his build is not small, so the art team designed a set of close-fitting 'armor' for him based on his physique.

When he puts on his armor, Lawrence becomes a street mercenary with a burly, powerful physique, as strong as a buffalo, whose entire body has been heavily cybernetically modified.

Linda Hamilton, who plays Dorio, also has a set of armor like this.

To allow Lawrence and Linda to maintain a degree of flexibility and avoid stiffness while wearing the armor, the armor has been continuously improved to increase its degree of freedom.

Such prop-making experience was completely new in China, but Hollywood often sees such transformative makeup and costumes. The Chinese personnel involved in prop-making gained a great deal of knowledge.

Controlling Pira's extra-long prosthetic arm using physical props or special effects would be too cumbersome and costly.
Chen Yuan wasn't a fundamentalist, so he simply removed this feature of Pila's and replaced it with a pair of shiny, exquisitely crafted, high-end prosthetic hands of normal size.

The actors only need to put on props like 'sleeves' and 'arm armor' on their arms, and that's it; no computer-generated special effects are needed in post-production.

Rebecca's image has also been greatly changed. Scarlett herself is quite fair-skinned, so she doesn't need to be made up to be as fair-skinned as in the animation.

Rebecca's prosthetic eyes in the anime are very distinctive, but if you put a full-coverage colored contact lens on a real person's eyes, it would look quite terrifying to others!
Therefore, she only uses normal-sized orange and green contact lenses to show the difference from Lucy, and also has some tattoo patterns designed on her body after the modification of her prosthetic body.

Of course, although Scarlett is only 19 years old, she is already very plump and mature. Wearing a coat that is obviously two sizes too big for her, she can still show Rebecca's cuteness by showing off her two fleshy legs.

Today, during her costume fitting, Scarlett Johansson was adjusting her light green double ponytail wig.

He picked up two pistols that matched his outfit perfectly, which the prop team had named 'M-76 E Omaha', and struck a pose with two guns.

"Scarlett, exaggerate your expressions, be more flamboyant!"

Scarlett winked at the camera, then couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Virgil, we look like a bunch of people at a comic convention in Tokyo!"

The yellow jacket Chen Yuan was wearing at this moment was completely different from the clothes he had hastily made at the Beijing Film Studio.
Although it's still bulky and uncomfortable to wear, the quality is much better than before, and the blue decorative piece at the neckline emits a uniform glow when powered on.

As Chen Yuan straightened the wrinkles in his yellow coat, he smiled and said to Scarlett:

"Don't make our crew's hard work sound so cheap, Scarlett."

If you were to appear at a comic convention now, you would definitely become the eye of a storm.

"Maybe after our movie is released, you'll see cosplayers portraying Rebecca at comic conventions all over the world."

Scarlett pointed to Fan Binbin, who had a slender figure and exquisite makeup, completely shattering her perception of Asians, and said: "I think Miss Lucy's cosplay is the one that will truly become a global phenomenon."

"Thank you for your blessing! Everyone come over here and let's take a group photo!"

Scarlett was born into a family with a strong artistic atmosphere, and she loved performing from a very young age, appearing in many plays and stage productions throughout her life.

Her family also supported her becoming an actress and paved the way for her to enter the entertainment industry.

Simply put, the idea is to first accumulate awards and industry recognition by starring in art films, and then try to explore other projects after gaining fame.

Scarlett was quite surprised when Columbia Pictures suddenly offered her a supporting role in a mid-to-large-scale sci-fi film.

Last year, she starred in "Lost in Translation," an art film that was shot in Tokyo over a month.

She developed an interest in Japan, and was drawn to the absurd story of "The Edge Walker," a tale of a Japanese corporation controlling an American city.

Her parents were somewhat disapproving of her getting involved in commercial blockbusters so early, but she still insisted on signing the contract.

It was because of my persistence that I was able to join the incredibly interesting crew of "The Edge Walker".

This place was very different from the film crews she had worked with before. There weren't many trivial matters, and the whole crew had a positive and uplifting atmosphere.

Perhaps this is partly due to the presence of many studious Chinese people in the crew, but the main reason is Virgil, the amazing Chinese producer.

She had specifically researched Virgil's story in China, and to be honest, she didn't quite believe it because it was just too exaggerated.

However, after the release of "The Matrix Reloaded" sparked a global movie-going frenzy, she had no choice but to believe it.

Virgil predicted the benefits that the huge success of The Matrix Reloaded would bring to The Edgewalker when he convinced Sony to support him in making the film.

Now it seems that prediction has come true. Columbia Pictures and indeed the entire Hollywood studio are watching this film. If *The Edge Walker* is released after *The Matrix Revolutions* and still achieves success, then...
This proves that this subject matter is not something only the Wachowski brothers can handle; other Hollywood studios will also consider making films on similar themes.

He also used Samsung phones to sponsor "The Matrix Reloaded" and won over young people, directly bringing back millions of dollars in sponsorship fees from Sony.

In addition, Virgil's amazing talent, admired by everyone on set, meant that there was almost no area he didn't know, whether it was camera design, special effects UI, costume design, prop art, action scene rehearsal, or anything else.

Even during breaks on set, she would sometimes play and sing, effortlessly performing both Chinese and English songs.

Scarlett had to believe that someone so outstanding, with such a strong learning ability, who not only worked hard himself but also inspired others to work hard with him, had really built his current success from scratch in China.

Compared to Virgil, the football team players who were popular in high school and college were simply not worth watching.

Virgil is quite an interesting young man!
