Chapter 2760 Star Core Rescue (Twenty)
Chapter 2734 Star Core Rescue (20)
There was no need for Nick to call. Eddie's phone call came quickly. After a while, the video communication was connected. In addition to Eddie, there were many ordinary people on the opposite side. Nick frowned slightly.
"Ah, Nick, don't mind, these are my colleagues, they are all insiders, we are editing the third season of Stark's Romantic Wedding Tour, and happened to see that damn video, and I called you to tell you , this thing is probably a video special effect, you must not be fooled..."
A skinny man wearing black-rimmed glasses came to the camera and waved, appearing a little nervous. He pushed up his glasses and said, "Hi, hello, I'm Pete. I'm an animator."
"Hello Pete, I was just going to ask, is this video real? Or was it made by someone using some special video processing methods?"
"This video has not been processed." Another Asian woman came over, tugged her black hair and said, "I am an editor, I'm sorry..."
Eddie quickly made room for her. The woman smiled, nodded and said, "You can call me Chen. I am an editor in the director's team. When Eddie sent the film to me just now, I did an inspection. , there is no trace of editing.”
"Then you just said this was a special effect..."
"Sorry, this is not a movie special effect." Another white man stood behind the people, playing with the computer, and shouted: "I'm sure this is not a green screen special effect. Green screen special effects can't be so real, believe me! "
"Then you say there's something wrong with this film?"
"Yes, it is neither an editing method nor a green screen special effect, nor is it animation." Eddie's statement confused Nick a little, but the reporter was not a person who liked to tell the truth, so he quickly explained: " It’s totally fine on the video level, but not necessarily on site.”
After saying that, the layers of people blocking the camera dispersed, and with a whoosh, the window was opened, and the wind blew in. Then the wind turned into thick fog, turning into a skull, flashing past in front of the video.
"Shit!" Nick was so frightened that he almost threw his phone away. He couldn't stand this kind of surprise.
"What is that?!" Nick stared at the screen and said, "Magic? Did you hire a wizard? Or a mutant?"
Several people laughed at Nick's reaction, but Eddie coughed twice and brought the topic back on track before Nick exploded.
"This is not magic or illusion, but real technology." Eddie took out a small device from behind, about the size of the palm of his hand, weighed it in his hand, and then put it in front of the camera Show it to Nick.
Nick actually couldn't see any clue. He only thought that this little thing looked a bit like a miniature projector or a mini camera, with a square box at the back and a small lens at the front.
"This is the latest version of special effects equipment." Eddie took this thing and introduced: "The specific technology may have come from a laboratory of the Stark Group, and we don't know much about it, but it has been mass-produced internally. You only need to go to a membership-based website to buy it. Most of the world’s major directors have members on this website, and many bloggers with many fans on various short video platforms have bought it for introduction.”
"The cost of this thing is not high, but it is quite expensive to sell. It costs almost 20,000 US dollars. Only with Stark's sponsorship can we afford it, just to get something non-stained for his proposal ceremony. The special effects of a wet skirt..."
"Get to the point!" Nick growled.
"The point is, you just saw the effect of this thing. Isn't it cool?" Eddie said with a smile. It was obvious that he was in a good mood to be in this director's group. It may also be that Stark gave too much. Considering Venom hasn't shown up to disrupt things for so long, it's most likely the latter.
Nick understood immediately and said, "So you're saying that the fire monster in this video was the special effect created by this thing?"
"Of course, this can't be hidden from us." The animator at the beginning said: "As soon as we watched this video, we knew that someone must be using this new technology to sensationalize. After all, this thing has not been widely popularized yet. The first one No movie using this kind of special effects has been released yet, and ordinary people don’t care much about this kind of technological innovation in the industry, so they are making a fuss.”
"We know that the space station is vital." The female editor said with a serious expression: "No one should joke about this matter. Joking about such a major accident is irresponsible for life. We despise such people. We don’t want him to discredit our industry, so if you need it, we will stand up and prove how despicable what he did is.”
Nick seemed to have some ideas. He said, "How sure are you? I mean can you really prove that this is a special effect?"
But the animator laughed a little contemptuously and said: "This thing is only meant to fool ordinary people. In fact, it is just like the edited video. The secret will be revealed at a glance by an expert."
"Look here first." The white special effects artist behind came over and pointed at the screen. Eddie immediately brought the popular short video to the screen and pointed it to Nick with his mouse.
"Look at the flame curling pattern here. Does it look the same as the fog skull we made just now? Because this is a template, he is not even willing to twist and transform it himself, and he doesn't seem to have much technical ability. "
"Look here again. Although the previous shots look very realistic, the ones after them are obviously not debugged. There is a bit of penetration here, but it is covered by the flame color change. In addition, the video is not so high-definition. I can easily pick out dozens of such errors."
"This person may have some professional background, but it is very basic and can't be called the top in the industry. They are different." Eddie pointed behind him and said: "My guys are all hired by Stark at a high price. You know how much he values that wedding documentary. Each of them is a top player."
Nick's idea seems to be more After confirming it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, Eddie, I think we are friends, right?"
"Of course, Nick, otherwise we wouldn't have found you immediately, just because you made a mistake in judging the space station. In general, we all think you are a good director of SHIELD. Keep up the good work."
Others also echoed Eddie. The female editor said, "We rarely come into contact with SHIELD agents, but I heard that the solar system development plan is led by this group of agents. I have to say that this has changed my impression of agents very well. I think you should be a good person."
Nick felt his thoughts were clear in an instant.
It has been a long time since he felt so warm because of people's praise. Perhaps it was because most of the praise he received in his life was false, and this group of ordinary people had nothing to do with him, but were still willing to recognize the fruits of his labor, which further strengthened Nick's position.
"Listen, Eddie, I'm telling you this as a friend, understand?"
Eddie nodded, and everyone in the office came over with great interest. Nick cleared his throat and almost gave a speech about his ambitions when he first debuted.
"Regarding the space station, it's actually like this. The agent we just went up sent back a message..."
Nick began to tell them the information and inferences he got from Natasha. In short, it was a gang that was messing around in the space station this time, and their goal was to be the savior.
And the method they took was not surprising, which was to fabricate a behind-the-scenes mastermind for the disaster of the space station. To be precise, they created the accident of the space station, but disguised it all as a monster attack.
This makes sense logically, because only with the devil can there be a hero. The stronger the devil, the more powerful the hero. The hero who defeated the devil will be more popular and regarded as a hero.
A circuit failure caused by an electrician alone cannot satisfy this script, but if the monster appears at the beginning, SHIELD will be too alert, resulting in no chance for them to take action.
Only in this way can the official law enforcement agencies mistakenly think that it is just a minor failure and thus not take active action, and the blank period left will give them room to play.
So they faked it all as an electrical accident at the beginning, and then slowly unraveled the truth, and they must announce the truth to the public.
Because the public found that they were deceived, they would only blame the law enforcement agencies for covering up the truth, which would further show how brave and fearless the heroes who saved people later were. In simple terms, it is to step on one and praise the other, and there is harm only when there is comparison.
This runs counter to Nick's idea, because this group of people essentially still want to engage in personal heroism and prepare to be a new generation of superheroes.
But in fact, the earth does not lack superheroes at all, and there is even a bit of an overabundance now. Even hexagonal warriors like Spider-Man only add a beautiful landscape to the New York skyline. Just considering the ability of Spider-Man, it really does not play a big role in human spaceflight. Even the show-off Iron Man has not appeared in public in his new battle suit for a long time.
To put it bluntly, now is not a good time to develop personal heroism, because these street heroes cannot lift humans into space. What humans need now is a great improvement in production and a technological explosion, which can only rely on ordinary people. As the vanguard of exploring the universe, mutants are enough. No matter how many superheroes there are, it is just icing on the cake.
Besides, it is still a question of how powerful this guy behind the scenes is. If he is strong enough, does he really need to use this special effect to do things?
Even if we take a step back, this guy is not very smart. After all, Schiller didn't use much superpowers when he was doing things. The wool ball was still tangled up, which was much better than this space station crash plan with loopholes.
Nick knew that defeating him with superhero abilities was a sign of respect for him, and even defeating him in other fields was a promotion for him. The real killer was to defeat him in the field he was best at.
Thinking of this, Nick no longer hesitated. He directly gave Eddie an address and asked him to buy the special effects equipment and send it over. On the other side, he picked up the phone and said to the other end.
"Director Zheng, I know you are very busy recently, but I suggest you take a look at this, especially let the technicians under you take a look at this..."
