Chapter 691 Shooting Starts (Seeking a Monthly Ticket!)

afternoon.

Lu Zhiyao and Zhu Xiaoce came to the studio.

This is the local studio in Jingzhou where "Beautiful Tomorrow" was filmed before. Lu Zhiyao and the rest of the crew are already familiar with this place.

The crew is already busy making sets and props.

Some of the sets and props are obviously used in "A Better Tomorrow". They are all sci-fi themes, and they can be reused after a little modification.

However, compared with "A Better Tomorrow", this movie has more big scenes and physical props, and there will be more preparatory work in the early stage.

"Director Zhu, are you sure we can start shooting now?" Lu Zhiyao looked at the busy staff and the messy set, and fell into doubt.

Zhu Xiaoce nodded: "Of course, we can start shooting today, let's try to shoot a set of shots first."

Lu Zhiyao was at a loss: "But, the set and props are not ready yet..."

"And, what about the actors? I haven't seen any other leading actors yet."

"I can't be the only one acting embarrassingly, right?"

Zhu Xiaoce smiled slightly: "It's okay, you have more roles in your own scenes, and they have already been arranged for you. Let's prepare with two hands. Your scenes will be filmed first, and then the sets and props will be prepared while filming."

Lu Zhiyao fell into silence.

For some reason, I always feel like I've been cheated.

Continuing to walk in, Zhu Xiaoce led Lu Zhiyao to a room full of green screens: "Most of the subsequent scenes will be filmed here."

"As for the specific scene... Look at this concept map, it is very clearly drawn."

Zhu Xiaoce pulled out a conceptual drawing from his mobile phone and handed it to Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao reached out to take it.

Judging from the picture, this should be the interior of a starship in a sci-fi scene. The furnishings inside are very simple, with only a single dormant compartment and a huge operating table.

There is a huge screen and several small screens on the console, and there is a single seat similar to the pilot's seat of a spaceship. On the platform in front of the seat, there is a huge touch screen, a hemispherical instrument, and some colorful instruments. button.

Lu Zhiyao turned his head to look at the shooting site, and found that there was only one well-made operating platform, one single seat and one single sleeping compartment. These should be made by the props team in a hurry these days. All sets are green screen.

"Director Zhu, this..."

Lu Zhiyao was stunned.

When filming "A Better Tomorrow" before, at least the whole room was a ready-made set.

As a result, when it came to the new movie, why did it all turn into a green screen?

Although these things can be solved with special effects, and the more money spent, the better the special effects, but in terms of authenticity, it is better to use ready-made props and sets.

Could it be... Director Zhu deliberately made more green screen special effects to cheat President Pei of his money?

Of course, Lu Zhiyao couldn't ask so directly, he coughed twice and said, "Director Zhu, can't we just use the stuff from "A Better Tomorrow" before? Anyway, it's all about science fiction, so changing it should be fine." Use it?"

Zhu Xiaoce smiled: "It can be used. The dormant cabin and the operating platform you saw were urgently modified with props from "A Better Tomorrow". Otherwise, why do you think it can be done so quickly?"

"As for why green screens are used for the outside scenery, it is obviously because there will be a lot of special effects here to achieve a special display effect."

"What is the specific effect... don't worry, you will know it later."

"Let's read the first script first."

As Zhu Xiaoce said, he took out some papers from his bag and handed them to Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao reached out to take it, and quickly browsed it from beginning to end.

"That's all?" Lu Zhiyao looked at it in a daze, the content on these papers was endless, and he couldn't understand it.

Zhu Xiaoce smiled slightly: "Didn't I tell you before, I won't give you the whole script, so that you can better understand the mood of the protagonist in the movie."

"Okay, you find a place to sit first, put on makeup and change clothes, memorize the script of this scene, and I will go outside to arrange their work."

Lu Zhiyao nodded: "Good Director Zhu, do you want to wear a spacesuit or an exoskeleton?"

I heard that this time is a Star Wars theme, so you must wear a cool space suit, right?

I don't know why, but I still have a little expectation.

Although things like exoskeletons will be very heavy and tiring to wear, they are handsome!

"No, just put this on." Zhu Xiaoce called the costumer and makeup artist over, and the costumer was holding a very ordinary set of dark gray close-fitting T-shirt and trousers.

Lu Zhiyao: "..."

"Director Zhu, are you sure you're wearing this? Is there anything wrong?"

Zhu Xiaoce smiled slightly: "No problem, just wear this. If you don't understand, you can read the script again."

Lu Zhiyao had no choice but to silently read the script again.

...

In the dormant cabin, the first is a close-up close-up.

Qin Yi's eyes were closed tightly, but his eyeballs were moving rapidly, his brows were also furrowed frequently, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, as if he was experiencing a terrible nightmare.

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened!

His eyeballs were bloodshot, and there was horror in his eyes.

The camera zoomed up quickly, and the dormant cabin opened automatically. Qin Yi turned over and sat up, his chest heaving, his right hand pressing his forehead, and it took him a long time to recover.

Countless hideous memories came one after another. Qin Yi subconsciously looked at the forearm of his right hand. There was a hideous wound on it that completely penetrated the arm, even almost torn, but the scab had already formed.

He vaguely remembered that when he went deep into the Zerg's lair, he wanted to use a pistol to destroy the micro-reactor through the crack in the battle suit on his chest, but failed, and was pierced by the horny claws of the Zerg.

"I'm alive?"

Qin Yi felt confused, he thought he had died in the Zerg lair.

But then, the scenes before dying came to my mind.

Xu Kaile, Meng Yu, Zhao Yongxiu, Wu Shaojun... all members of the AS-371-45 team except Qin Yi died in the Zerg lair.

He still remembered the voices and smiles of these people, but in the blink of an eye, it was forever.

However, Qin Yi quickly got rid of this painful emotion, regained his composure, and stood up from the dormant cabin.

He saw the big screen, chairs, and console not far away, but he didn't go past. Instead, he first came to the edge of the room and tried to leave.

The space capsule of the starship does not have a fixed exit, and the surrounding walls can be turned into doors with permission.

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

"Captain Qin, I'm sorry, but you have not been authorized to leave here." A gentle female voice sounded.

Qin Yi turned his head to look, and saw a holographic projection of a female space soldier in the middle of the room. It was a typical oriental female image, with a gentle smile that carried some femininity and a soldier's heroic posture.

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

The hologram of the female soldier nodded: "Yes."

Qin Yi sat down on the sleeping cabin, covered his face with his hands, and let out a sigh of relief.

The holographic image of the female soldier tried to walk towards Qin Yi, but Qin Yi's face quickly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "AEEIS, return to the original image."

The holographic image of the female soldier stopped, gradually became transparent and disappeared.

Then, a light blue data stream appeared in mid-air, and converged into an audio image that fluctuated with the sound.

The voice of AEEIS turned into a cold, emotionless electronic voice: "Captain Qin Yi, maybe you are angry now, but human beings need you to continue to fulfill your mission as a soldier."

Qin Yi's voice was low, suppressing his anger: "The Zerg Queen is dead, but the war is not over. Why? I want to know the truth."

AEEIS: "Because of reservists and hive awareness."

"The Zerg queen is a high-level life form, with advanced wisdom and precautionary measures, and will avoid the population crisis caused by her own death. The Zerg queen will give birth to sub-queens to hide in each worm nest. Once the queen dies, these sub-queen One of them will randomly become the new queen."

"The hive consciousness is the basis for the Zerg queen to rule the entire Zerg. Simply put, it is telepathy, consciousness uploading, and consciousness connection. The Zerg queen can control all the swarms precisely because of the existence of the hive consciousness."

"At the moment of the Zerg Queen's death, she can transmit all her consciousness through the Zerg's consciousness network, and then in a certain corner where the Zerg is located, a certain sub-queen obtains all of the Queen's consciousness and serves as the command center again."

Qin Yi's face became gloomy: "Did you know this information before the beheading operation, or after the beheading operation?"

"I want to hear the real answer."

AEEIS was silent for two seconds: "Before."

Qin Yi took a deep breath: "So we saw the fragments of the Skylark II battle suit in the process of going deep into the insect's nest."

"You lied to everyone. You know that this is an operation that is almost impossible to succeed, and even if it succeeds, it will have no meaning, but you still let hundreds of teams die?"

"Is this your decision, or the decision of the Supreme Executive Committee, or the decision of the commander?"

AEEIS did not answer directly: "This operation is of course meaningful."

"The scope of the hive consciousness is very wide, but it is not unlimited; it takes a certain amount of time for the secondary queen to become a new queen. During this period of time, we have achieved fruitful results on the frontal battlefield."

"Everyone's sacrifice is for the ultimate victory."

Qin Yi said coldly: "As a soldier, I can accept sacrifice, but I cannot accept deception!"

His right hand was clenched because of anger, but he let it go quickly, and the faces of the players flashed in front of him again, but he was powerless.

"I applied for a three-month leave, returned to Blue Star, and returned to the fleet after three months."

"At that time, I will sacrifice as you wish."

AEEIS: "Sorry, Captain Qin, I can't approve your request."

"The Supreme Executive Committee of the Blue Star United Fleet has appointed you as the new commander to command the battle against the Zerg."

"Blue Star, I still need you to save me."
