I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 536, A Community with a Shared Future for Mankind

Today's filming went very smoothly, at least Li Yun's group's filming went quite smoothly.

Love stories of our parents' generation.

Although the story is not very long, the two fall in love because of the attack on the space elevator.

Sharing weal and woe.

Han Duoduo, a straightforward and outgoing pilot from Beijing, works with Liu Peiqiang to deal with the attacks from the Digital Life Faction.

The development of Earth's technology is now divided into two ends. One end is the mountain-moving project supported by the United Government, to which Liu Peiqiang serves.

Another group consists of digital life projects led by scientific organizations, which involve backing up one's memories and personality to achieve immortality in another sense.

Used to escape the end of the world.

The Digital Life School's plan is also very simple.

Destroying the space station and halting the start of the mountain-moving project led to a shift to the more cost-effective and timely digital life project.

We will gain eternal life.

These are lines spoken by the Digital Life attackers.

Their concept of immortality.

It means to permanently preserve one's consciousness in the digital world.

The most ironic thing is that...

They hadn't even thought about it.

Those who receive the gift of eternal life.

It really was you.

Or is it merely your consciousness?

But if you only possess consciousness, are you still alive?

This is a very interesting topic.

However, it is undeniable that this faction has many supporters.

This is the first stage being filmed, which is the last scene of Li Yun's stage.

That was an exchange with the teacher.

My teacher at the Joint Military Academy.

"Are you ready to take to the skies?" Zhang Peng asked, looking at Liu Peiqiang, his apprentice.

This has been cherished from the very beginning.

The senior who cherished Liu Peiqiang.

Whether offering technical advice or advice on life choices, he did what a teacher should do.

Looking at Liu Peiqiang, dressed in military uniform, although there was a hint of frivolity in his eyes, it was only due to his young age and youthful arrogance.

But even with this flippant feeling.

He is also a piece of exquisite jade.

Stephen Chow was looking at him.

Looking at this precious treasure that can be appreciated.

Now, seeing a piece of exquisite jade, Zhou Xingxing couldn't be more familiar with this feeling, because he used to see Li Yun in the same way.

It wasn't Zhang Peng looking at Liu Peiqiang, but Zhou Xingxing looking at Li Yun.

Time intersects and overlaps.

"effort".

The admiration I felt when I first auditioned and saw him for the first time

That kind of genuine appreciation.

It was as if I could see a spark of hope burning.

The hope of the community.

But now, that spark of hope has grown into a raging inferno. Indeed, just as the line says, in this era, hope is as precious as the sun.

So precious.

very nice.

Lunar photography base.

"Seven months. After seven months, the sun will have a solar flare that will trigger a powerful electromagnetic storm that will destroy all electronic equipment. Under the intense solar wind, we will be unable to work on the lunar surface for at least a year. In other words, we must complete the testing of the lunar engine within seven months."

Ma Zhao, Tu Hengyu.

Tony Leung Ka-fai, Lau Tak-wah.

They tested planetary engines at a lunar base, thus proving the feasibility of the mountain-moving plan. Or perhaps, expelling the moon was also part of the plan.

To free Earth from the Moon's gravity.

Ma Zhao, played by Tony Leung Ka-fai, speaks with a cold and aloof demeanor, seemingly devoid of any emotional fluctuations, always maintaining a rational and detached air.

For him, this was a role he had never played before.

A scientist who is always rational.

He has played gangsters, mob bosses, criminals, police officers, and characters from the lower and upper classes.

He is a versatile actor.

This is yet another role that the versatile actor has taken on.

It represents absolute rationality.

Liu Dehua, also known as Tu Hengyu, is a father and a scientist.

On the moon, he carried a USB drive with him, which contained a backup of his daughter, Tu Yaya.

A copy of something that was originally created when a person died, leaving behind a backup of their personality and memories.

Unfortunately, the current quantum computer 550a can only keep Yaya alive for 7 seconds.

All he wanted to do was keep Tu Yaya alive.

Give her a complete life.

Even if it's just a backup, it's still his "daughter".

Ma Zhao and Tu Hengyu are both experts in digital life research, especially Ma Zhao, who is the founder of the first generation of digital life experiments and is now the head of the 550 series quantum computer.

"Life is only once. When you die, you're dead. When your breathing stops and your heart stops beating, you're already dead. What remains are your memories and personality, but they have nothing to do with you."

As the founder of the Digital Life Initiative.

Ma Zhao was concise and to the point.

He shared his views on digital life.

When you're dead, you're dead.

Life would not continue.

That's not your daughter.

That's just a program that possesses your daughter's memories and personality.

At this time, Tony Leung Ka-fai was also thinking about this point, which is also a very interesting point. Even if someone can inherit his title of "Man of a Thousand Faces" Best Actor, he will never be Tony Leung Ka-fai.

The afterglow of the setting sun is just that—the setting sun. Hong Kong's entertainment circle has now reached the point of being a thing of the past.

No matter how hard you try, you can't find yesterday's glory.

Once someone is dead, they are dead.

So what if there's a superstar?

Li Yun himself represents an entire circle, so why would he covet your title of superstar?

There are no superstars left.

Everything is over. Many veterans in the industry have started to give up, such as TVB, which was once a popular television station in Asia. Now it even has to compete with the Shanghai entertainment circle for food, creating idols and seeking traffic.

In the end, we still couldn't beat them.

So why should we stubbornly persist and persevere?

You know what I mean, Andy Lau, why do you have to struggle so much in that industry?

Andy Lau is very special.

Like Tony Leung Ka-fai, many of the actors he brought along implicitly considered themselves to be part of the Lee circle.

But Andy Lau specifically stated that he is from Hong Kong.

He remains a member of the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Representing the Hong Kong entertainment circle in the filming of The Wandering Earth.

Even in places where yesterday's flowers were fading and withering, he insisted on not moving himself.

Don't change your circle, just change yourself.

It represents Andy Lau.

"I want to join the experimental program, I want to join the 550 quantum computer experiment program."

At this moment, Andy Lau looked at Tony Leung Ka-fai, who was from the same era as him, but who was already a versatile actor.

They specialize in different paths.

To become a superstar, one needs to excel in singing, dancing, and acting, and reach the pinnacle in all of them.

There were four superstars in that era, but there is only one versatile actor like him today.

Although the two are of similar age.

But on the path of acting.

Tony Leung Ka-fai is undoubtedly a senior figure.

He always sees things clearly and makes the right choices, whether it was choosing the mainland when he returned to China, or choosing to jump into Li Yun's circle now.

He is always rational and correct.

It seems that I am.

Somewhat foolish.

But Hong Kong is, after all, the place where I was born and raised, and it was this industry that gave me many opportunities, allowing me to go from a street urchin to the Justice of the Peace and superstar I am today.

I also have my own principles.

"Fourteen years. How many fourteen-year periods does one have in a lifetime? Even if I go into the underground city, how many more fourteen-year periods can I live? I haven't seen Ya Ya for far too long."

"I want to give him his whole life."

"Think it through. What you're about to do will kill you. Give it up, and you'll live."

"What will you choose?"

Yes, I still have a choice.

That means choosing a decision you won't regret.

"This speech is very important, are you sure you want me to do it?"

"Which speech this time is unimportant?"

Li Xuejian looked at Zhang Yu.

His face carried a kind expression.

On this path, having come this far, is there any play or scene that is unimportant?

Yes, Zhang Yu asked himself.

He debuted as one of the Three Friends of Xiangjiang.

Having come this far, he has acted in quite a few films and television series, and is now an outstanding national second-level actor. Although he may not have achieved the same level of success as Li Yun, he is certainly one of the most outstanding young actors within the system.

My own mentor.

Teacher Li Xuejian.

National first-class actor.

She has portrayed many classic roles.

This time, he plays the role of Mr. Zou Jie, a diplomat.

It seems that in the script, he is also very similar to the historical Mr. Zou.

A diplomat.

A reliable man who is strong and dependable in any situation.

master.

He is so reliable, and that's only natural.

It has always been this way.

Throughout his acting career, he also provided him with a great deal of help and care.

Although some situations may occur occasionally.

For example, seeing other colleagues in the industry receiving high salaries in other circles, while he can only earn a decent wage, might cause him some dissatisfaction.

They are ten times stronger than them, yet they earn ten times their income.

I have also faced temptations.

I accepted the invitation without hesitation.

They entered a truly glamorous and decadent circle.

It's very tempting.

I've also felt lost.

She was also rejected by family and friends.

What's so good about stability? There's nothing good about working within the system except stability. It's really better to join a film company, earn a high salary, and live a comfortable life.

That way you can pay off your student loan from the government very quickly.

Zhang Yu knew that works created within and outside the system are different. Many works outside the system are money-oriented, while works created within the system have social significance.

He prefers making these kinds of films.

Just like back then when he could resonate with the leader of the Three Friends of Xiangjiang.

Just like back then.

Some people make money from art.

Someone should also use art to do something truly meaningful.

Just like Teacher Li.

He achieved almost the highest level in acting, but embarked on a path of low pay and high workload, which is absolutely inconsistent with his abilities.

"Teacher, did we do the right thing? Do you really believe us?"

This is what Zhang Yu asked.

It was also asked by "Zhang Yu" in the movie.

Ask Professor Li Xuejian, ask Zou Jie.

At this moment, Teacher Li Xuejian spoke gently.

"I believe, my children will believe, my children's children will believe, and I believe that on that day, flowers will adorn the branches, and we will see true blue skies and white clouds."

"The moon of today is not the moon of old, yet the moon of today once shone on the ancients; this is how we humans have always lived."

At this moment, Zhang Yu didn't know whether it was Mr. Zou or Teacher Li Xuejian speaking to him. He couldn't quite tell, but it didn't seem to matter much.

Yes, that's how we humans have always lived.

Isn't that right?

At this moment, Zhang Yu still retained a slight sense of confusion; it had only been a tiny bit just now.

That's how we always get by, isn't it?

Someone will always do the right thing, or at least what they believe is right. So don't hesitate, don't be confused, and firmly follow your own path. Perhaps this is what we should all be doing.

Li Yun's guy is probably like that too.

Zhang Yu has always silently watched this actor who once walked alongside him, both of whom came from humble backgrounds, but have now reached such heights.

As a former colleague, he felt both jealous and genuinely happy for her.

He was able to go further and higher on a similar path, which was due to his unparalleled ability and strength.

His talent is unmatched.

This includes The Wandering Earth.

"I can't lose to him by too much, otherwise it would be too embarrassing."

At this moment, Li Xuejian walked in front of the stage.

Wearing Zhongshan suits, facing the flashing lights of cameras from all over the world, the leaders all looked at the stage.

Watching.

It's so similar! At this moment, Liu Shanhe, watching from a short distance away, stared at the table with tears welling in his eyes, a flood of memories washing over him. The United Nations back then must have been like this too.

"This is a 15000-year-old fossil, a human femur that was broken and then healed. It is a symbol of the birth of human civilization. 15,000 years ago, a broken femur was fatal."

"Because you cannot avoid danger or find food."

"We can only wait here to be eaten by wild beasts."

"But it healed with the femur, which means that after he was injured, someone treated his wound, someone provided him with water and food, and someone protected him from wild animals. It is this mutual help and solidarity that has allowed us to survive and continue the flame of civilization."

"After the successful lunar exploration program in 2044, we proposed a backup plan: to detonate global nuclear weapons on the lunar surface using a phased array to trigger lunar nuclear fusion and cause the moon to disintegrate on its own."

"Representatives from 33 countries once received a message, a string of numbers, which is the exact number of deployable nuclear weapons in the world, as well as the total number of nuclear weapons needed to trigger lunar nuclear fusion."

"These numbers used to be top secret, but they are now meaningless. I don't know the source or intention of this information, but it seems to be reminding us."

"15000 years later, another broken femur is placed before us."

"Will we make the same choices we did 15000 years ago?"

People of the world.

Is it possible to achieve great unity among humankind?

One continuous shot.

Besides Li Xuejian's acting skills.

The theme of this film is also interpreted here.

A community with a shared future for mankind.

We are one.
