Jennifer stared at the man in front of her and almost thought she had heard it wrongly.

Just three minutes ago, this bearded, internationally renowned director waved his hand and announced to everyone: he would overturn 80 percent of the film that had been shot and reshoot it - and the film had already been shot more than halfway.

Although the director has had his moments of inspiration in the past, this time the shooting schedule was very tight, and there was not enough time left for post-production. There was simply not much room for the director to be willful. If he overturned and redid the whole thing at this time, there would be no time left for post-production.

Anyone who has a little experience in filming knows how outrageous Director George's announcement is. Therefore, until now, the photography base has been silent. Everyone is silently looking at Director George, digesting the shock brought by George, and racking their brains to find ideas to convince him.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Director George said with a look of ignorance: "Since you have heard my announcement, then start to get busy again. What are you standing here for?"

“No, not the director. You are…” Jenny glanced at Lin Shen, who was standing on the director’s left, and then at Zhang Jiajia, who was standing on the director’s right and had gained great power and status as soon as she arrived. She felt that this was ridiculous: “We don’t have time to redo it. There is only less than half a month left before the filming deadline given by the investors!”

"Isn't there still time for post-production?" George said lightly, "Just use the rest of the time to allocate to filming."

"Director, are you kidding me?" Jennifer said speechlessly, "There wasn't much time left for post-production, how can we compress the time further?"

A movie that relies 90% on special effects actually has to squeeze out time to leave for special effects production. Does the director hope to be criticized worldwide for the poor CG after the movie is released?

"Yes, Director, Jennifer is right. Post-production is the most important. The current post-production time has been compressed as much as possible. It is impossible to squeeze out more time." The assistant director said worriedly: "Besides, wasn't the previous filming very good? The actors' performances were also very good. Weren't you always satisfied after watching it?"

George waved his hands, looking determined: "The previous costume design was really lacking in taste. If we want to make a perfect movie, we must not be careless in this part. As for the post-production, don't worry. With Rosalind (Zhang Jiajia) joining us, we need to produce very little CG."

George pushed Zhang Jiajia forward, the surprise and excitement in his eyes almost materializing. "You can't believe how good she is. Believe me, when you see her clothes, you will understand how correct my decision was!"

Jennifer almost rolled her eyes. George's public dislike of the clothes had already slapped her in the face, and now he was saying these illogical words.

Jennifer was so angry that she almost didn't care about the "insult" brought to her by the director. Although she was a costume director, Jennifer was also a filmmaker. Compared with personal intrigue, she cared more about whether she could make a good movie.

If it weren't for this, she really wanted to quit her job and let the director and his "new love" do whatever they wanted.

Out of responsibility and reason, Jennifer took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone from being too emotional. "Since you, the director, have recommended her again and again, why don't we first see what Miss Rosalind is capable of? How good is her design that you, the director, have to save on the CG production later on?"

But she didn't expect George to show a smug look, as if he was waiting for her to say this.

“Hehe.” He snorted smugly like a child showing off his toys. “In fact, this is one of the reasons why I called you here. I want to give you a heads-up in advance so you don’t get too surprised later. Everything is... ahem, scientific.”

Lin Shen: “…”

Rebecca, who had been told a little bit of the inside story, said: "......"

The two of them recalled their memories of the costumes and silently looked away.

Science...?

On the contrary, Zhang Jiajia nodded calmly: "Yes, there is scientific basis behind it, it's just some scientific tricks."

Everyone looked at Zhang Jiajia and George playing charades and felt completely confused.

What are these two people talking about?

Fifteen minutes later, silence fell in the studio again, but it was no longer speechless, but deep shock.

The five leading actors stood in a row, wearing new combat uniforms made by Zhang Jiajia.

In order to enable the audience to empathize and better integrate into reality, the character designs of the five main actors have more or less referenced the images of those world-famous superheroes. The design of the five-member protagonist group is obviously also based on the team design of "Avengers", "Super Sentai" or "Masked Rider".

At the same time, the content of the film needs to incorporate realistic elements, and unobtrusively introduce technologies that already exist or may exist in the future.

Therefore, the configuration of the five main characters is: the female lead played by Rebecca, who is used to highlight the "superpower" side of traditional Western superheroes; the second male lead, who is used to highlight the technological side and is a combination of magic and technology and is dressed in high-tech armor; the third male lead, who highlights the traditional magic side and encourages people to try to learn magic; the second female lead, who is more youthful and has more fantasy elements, who is in line with the "two-dimensional" character setting; and the male lead, played by Lin Shen, who represents the mysterious power of the East.

The reason for choosing to reshoot this time is not only because the previous costumes and props are really not as good as the new "battle suits" brought by Zhang Jiajia, but the more important point comes from the content about "cultivation of immortals" that Zhang Jiajia "inadvertently" revealed.

In the original character design, the protagonist played by Lin Shen used "Qigong", which was very Western-style.

But the main purpose of the movie is to prepare for the future global "magicization". Since we are going to introduce a cultivation system, why not choose the "cultivation of immortals" which is both cool and good-looking, and is about to be the core of national promotion?

As Lin Yuan's elder brother, Lin Shen had naturally been exposed to "cultivation of immortality". Compared to magic, Lin Shen was more talented in cultivation of immortality - when he first debuted, Lin Shen had played many immortal heroes and ancient idols, so he had some experience in this area.

But before, Lin Shen was just an actor. It was unheard of for him to be the protagonist of an S+ level investment movie by a single Chinese person. How could he be qualified to comment on the script and character setting? He could only perform according to the requirements of the script and the director.

But now Zhang Jiajia has appeared halfway through, and has directly won the trust and admiration of director t with her miraculous skills. When Zhang Jiajia mentioned "cultivating immortals", the director was immediately interested.

After seeing Lin Shen's sword-wielding skills, George exclaimed that it was magical. He directly overturned Lin Shen's character and decided to redo it.

——How can an American hero who speaks American English, wears a stereotypical tights, has Western characteristics and values ​​but is just a Chinese skin, be as impressive as a "monk" with a standard Chinese core, an oriental sense of mystery, and Taoist thinking?

Especially for a director like George who knew almost nothing about Eastern culture, the shock he felt was far greater than that of the Chinese people who had long been accustomed to "cultivating immortals".

Today, Lin Shen is wearing an outfit that combines the ancient idol and the "immortal cultivation" style in the game, and incorporates modern design, half "Taoist robe" and half "long robe", holding a long sword, which directly amazed everyone.

It was unknown what material the dress was made of. It looked light and felt like silk, but it had the texture of metal and jade. After putting on the dress, it did not feel loose like satin, but maintained its shape very well. Every move Lin Shen made while wearing this dress was full of elegance.

As costume director, Jennifer is in a position to touch these clothes directly.

So she didn't care about her image and directly touched the hem of Lin Shen's clothes. It was soft and smooth, and felt very comfortable, and the texture was even better than "real silk".

Jennifer's nails were slightly long, so in order to test the material, she did a bold thing: she pinched her nails and scratched the cloth hard.

If it was fine silk, it would definitely be torn if she cut it so hard.

But when Jennifer applied force, she only felt that she was scratching a piece of jade instead of cloth. There was not even a trace of mark on the soft "satin", which was still very flowing.

"Don't worry, Jennifer." Director George, who had been secretly watching Jennifer's every move, was proud: "This material is bulletproof!"

Not to mention bulletproof, this suit made by Zhang Jiajia by decomposing gold and jade and incorporating magic, saying it is bulletproof is an insult to it. Even if a bomb bombarded for ten minutes, it would not hurt Lin Shen at all - but even Director George did not know this.

In fact, among all the "combat uniforms", only Lin Shen's set was made by Zhang Jiajia with real skills.

Now the evil demon is hiding in the dark and has attacked Zhou Xun's sister. Everyone in their class is keeping a close eye on their families.

Lin Shen was filming alone overseas, and Lin Yuan was busy and didn't have time to stay with his family all the time. So when he knew that Zhang Jiajia was also coming to the crew, he entrusted Zhang Jiajia to protect her brother.

This set of clothes was specially made by Zhang Jiajia for Lin Shen.

Not only is it bulletproof, it is also immune to scientific weapons such as bulletproof medicine, and it is also immune to most magical damage and even mental attacks.

However, the sword in Lin Shen's hand did not come from Zhang Jiajia, but was made by Du Heng on behalf of Lin Yuan a long time ago. It was a real magic weapon with extremely powerful power.

George signaled to Lin Shen with his eyes, and Lin Shen pressed the gem on his wrist, and the clothes on his body quickly shrank and changed into a dark, loose coat. The long sword in Lin Shen's hand also folded and changed quickly with Lin Shen's magic power, becoming a mobile phone.

Everyone: “???!!!”

Look at Rebecca again, wearing a tight bodysuit that is between silver and moon white. Under her control, it can be transformed into a casual long skirt for daily wear, or a fishtail skirt suitable for evening parties. When Rebecca tried to make the iconic fighting posture in the movie, countless threads of light were pulled out from the clothes, wrapped around her hands, and released with every movement of Rebecca.

Not to mention the male second who was in charge of high technology, he was already having a blast. As he pressed the touch screen on his watch, fine metal armor quickly extended from his wrist to his whole body, and in less than two seconds, the male second was wrapped in a set of extremely cool red armor - it was the armor technology shown in the movie "Iron Man".

As for the third man in charge of magic, he was already floating in the air with the help of a cloak.

The second female lead, who is in charge of the "second dimension", wears a tender pink dress and jumps three meters high.

Everyone: “….”

You're talking about science?!

Do you think I'm stupid and easy to deceive?

Compared to the Chinese who have been brought up with atheism and materialism since childhood, Westerners have always been very accepting of strange things, and always like to combine everything beyond cognition with super powers, magic, gods, monsters or aliens.

Not to mention that everything they saw completely exceeded their understanding of the world and science.

The investigators who were sent by the authorities and hid in the crew as staff were just dumbfounded.

They haven’t officially researched these technologies yet!

George coughed and emphasized again: "Everything has a scientific basis. Don't be superstitious or spread rumors."

Everyone: “…”

Director, as long as you are happy.
