Prodigal System
Scheme (Part One)
James wasn't just exaggerating to scare the others. Computer effects are computer effects. No matter how real it may seem, it is still realistic. Anyway, it's not real.
But Hong Dali is different. The Mechanical Holy Clothes he created existed physically. It was not something that could be compared to the computer effect. With the Mechanical Holy Clothes in his hands, the computer effect was worthless to him.
When viewers see it, they will subconsciously think that “This is fake. No matter how good it looks, it is still a fake. "But for the Hong Dali video, viewers will think that" Look, Mechanical Holy Garment, I've seen this before. That's cool, really cool. It's real!"
Real and fake, in terms of movie experience, it is unmatched.
James banged on the table in a "bang-bang" voice". A middle-aged man in his fifties frowned. He puffed his cigarette deeply and slowly said, "James, it's obvious that this is not the time to lose patience. We need to think about countermeasures. How can we beat our opponents at the box office. ”
Another person held his forehead with his hands and nodded. "That's right, James. Caiwei Entertainment has announced the release date, September 15. Less than a month away. Losing your emotions won't help. We need to think about countermeasures. ”
"It's not that easy!" James took a deep breath. “With the popularity of Mechanical Holy Clothes, the box office will surely soar. Although I believe our 'Magic Age' is perfect, the computer effects have no advantage over real props. Too little time. One month, only one month. Even if I invested more money, it would not have much impact. Not enough time. ”
Time, what James was most worried about was that there wasn't enough time.
If he had enough time, he could invest another fifty million to make the scene more impactful. At least it'll look better. The problem is the lack of time. It's too late to fire again. It's even too late to include more computer effects.
After all, a month is not too short but not long enough.
Speaking up to this point, the others could feel it as well. It's a tough problem. But no matter how hard it was, they had to do something!
This fight is not just a simple box office fight. If it's just a box office, it doesn't matter if the numbers are slightly different. This time, it was a battle of honor! Hollywood has always been an absolute leader in the film industry. "The Sky Sword and Dragon Sword: Pugilistic World" had already defeated them before miserably. If they fail again, Hollywood's reputation …
While everyone was wallowing in grief, the oldest man in their midst smiled and said, “Often, the key to winning a battle is more than just facing each other. "This old man was the oldest among the eight people. Of course, he was also the most cunning and cunning of all.
"Honored master. Orlando, you got any ideas? " Hearing what the old Orlando said, James' eyes sparkled. Generally speaking, when Orlando spoke, it meant that this old man had a malicious idea.
“It should work, more or less. Orlando laughing. Her voice raspy. He sounded like a demon from the abyss, especially at this less bright Round Table Conference.
"Can you tell us?" James asked worriedly. "It's about Hollywood honor. It's not just about me. ”
"Of course, dear James. "Orlando coughed and slowly said, "What determines the box office is not just the quality of the film. Oftentimes, sneaky tricks and external factors as well. ”
"Craudulent tricks. You mean .. "Hear that, James suddenly had a thought. He muttered. "Don't tell me, you want an actor to do something?"
"Hehe, I remember that some of the actors who worked with Hong Dali were from Merika, right?" Orlando beamed and said, "Who are they? I am old and my memory fails … "
"Yes!" James naturally identified them. “There are three people. Oscar winner, Renas, Oscar for Best Supporting Actor Sarufar, and Oscar for Best Actor Crocker Dahl. They are all heavyweights. ”
In fact, this is one of the reasons why James is so depressed — these three people go to work for Hong Dali. That's also why Hollywood isn't sure about the box office of the "Holy Warrior Goddess. ”
"Hej . There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Old Orlando laughed. “Choose one of them and dig up some scandals. It has to be easy. Once we have conclusive evidence, it will be enough for Hong Dali to deal with. ”
"Oh, too," added the Orlando Lama. “Mechanical men who came with Hong Dali, I'm sure our military forces will have countermeasures. I know someone from there. Maybe I can arrange for you to meet with Head Itra. ”
"Meeting with the Secretary of Defense?" James surprised. “But we are just businessmen dealing with movies. We may have a voice in the film industry, but meeting with the Secretary of Defense, we … "
"No no No . My dear, we cannot be arrogant, but we must not be complacent either. Old Orlando smiled. "Although film and military defense do not seem to fit each other, we must not forget how the Human Mechanics were made. If we have the support of the military, maybe we can take a piece of Hong Dali — book making a movie about Iron Warrior. It doesn't have to be a long movie, we can even record a video from an amateur perspective. Maybe use the military to promote it a little, maybe then the Mechanic Man will lose a bit of attention. If they benefit from it, it will certainly benefit our box office as well. ”
"You mean .." James's eyes shone brightly. "I understand! I'll go arrange now! "
…
Merika, Hexagon Building.
The salon paced around the room anxiously, growling as he turned around. "Mechanical Man! Hong Dali really made Mechanical Man! Did you see the gun? That is too strong .. If Hong Dali continues in his way, our country's position will be threatened! That's impossible, impossible! ”
As he rampaged, Defense Minister Itra, who was sitting opposite him, also frowned.
Hong Dali had made a big move this time. Hollywood is concerned about the film's box office, and he and Salon are concerned that the Mechanical Man will have an impact on the military system in the future.
What does the Mechanical Man imply? To put it simply, it meant that ordinary soldiers might be mostly withdrawn from the military of the Heaven Country. The Heaven Country Army would be dominated by soldiers armed with this mechanical armor.
It was no exaggeration to say that a Mechanical Man could replace a thousand ordinary soldiers.
What concept is that? If war breaks out, this Mechanical Man will completely defeat the Merika Army's combat troops. Ground troops, tanks, and armored vehicles, designed to fight against the Men's Mechanics, would not be effective.
“We can only bear it for now. ”Itra thought for a while and stretched her hands out helplessly. “Currently, we can only wait for Hong Dali to go to sea. He is too safe in the State of Heaven. There's nothing we can do. Even if we send in a special agent, it's useless. Right now, the curse of the Angel of Misfortune seemed to be ineffective against Hong Dali. ”
“The problem is not whether to wait or not. Our plan will work! ” Salon saliva is all over the table. "He's got Mechanical Men's armor now. You've seen how powerful that thing is. Do you think only a few pirates will work? The weapons in the armor could tear down an entire tank! ”
Both Salon and Itra have seen the video in Mechanical Man. They were fully aware of the power of the weapon.
"My dear Salon Master, I don't think we should underestimate Hong Dali. But we can't overstate it either. “Itra as cold as cucumber. “Think about that, the weapon is very powerful. Surely the source of that power was a very important matter. If there were insufficient bombs or energy, he couldn't possibly use unlimited weapons. ”
"What do you mean?" Salon staring at Itra. "Are we secretly supporting the pirates?"
"Yes . "Itra nodded. “If it was just a normal pirate, they wouldn't be Hong Dali's opponent. We can secretly support their arms, or even ... directly send soldiers? We're gonna blow up a nuclear power engine. Hehe . At that time, even if he has the ability of a God, we will send him directly upstairs to see the God. ”
"Silently supporting their arms, directly sending soldiers to blow up the nuclear power machine .." Salon touched his chin. The more he thought about it, the more he thought it would work. He laughed . "Yes, this is a good idea!"
Speaking up to this point, the secretary suddenly knocked and entered. “Ministers, diplomatic ambassadors of Jaban State request a meeting. It seems to be about Mechanical Man Hong Dali. ”
