Finally, Wei Lan found a solution. After returning to the room, she asked the system: If the work I created is liked by others, can it also be counted as favorability?
"Yes, as long as the favor is directed at you, but the favor for the work, radiating to the creator, will be less than being an idol." The system replied, and then added: "So it is recommended that the host debut as an idol."
Wei Lan: ...Shut up.
Without paying any more attention to the system, Wei Lan began to plan his future plan to gain favor.
Human resources are limited. It takes too much time for me to be cute on social media, and it is definitely not a long-term solution.
Right now, the best way for Wei Lan is to go back to her old job of making movies. She also loves making movies, but unfortunately her current physical condition does not allow it.
So, she decided to start by doing something that could be done anonymously - writing a script.
Many excellent directors are also screenwriters. In his previous life, Wei Lan took the path of being both a screenwriter and a director, and all the films he filmed were scripts he wrote.
If Wei Lan were to write a script now, she would have to worry about the fact that the feedback she receives from the time the script is written to the time it is filmed is relatively slow, and whether she can survive for the rest of her life.
But her cheap dad runs Wei's Pictures, so as long as the script is of good quality, maybe she can be a backdoor party member?
Before that, of course, we need to understand the situation of the world's film and television market.
Wei Lan used his mobile phone to open the webpage to check, and then he was stunned——
'The third film revolution, the birth of holographic shooting, and the farewell of the two-dimensional era for film and television works.'
'As of 2000, all theaters in the Federation have completed the upgrade, removing the large screens and connecting to holographic receivers instead.'
'New home holographic player for sale only...'
Wei Lan was more and more dumbfounded. He looked at the current date, June 23, 2010...
She never expected that this world, which seemed to have a similar level of technology as her previous life, had actually achieved a leap forward in consciousness connection technology and had already developed holographic movies, which had been used for at least ten years!
It’s no wonder that Wei Lan was so surprised. He had watched the variety show with Ye Luoxue on TV before, and everything looked the same!
She searched for the latest entries about holographic movies again, and a webpage popped up with overwhelming movie promotions:
'The first holographic science fiction masterpiece, Chengguang Films' "Star Wars (Part 1)", is now in theaters, setting a federal box office record in two years in just three days! '
Wei Lan could no longer sit still. Reading any information was not as good as experiencing it for real. Writing scripts, systems, and gaining favor... She threw all of them out of her mind and ran out of the room barefoot.
There was no one in the hall at this time. Neither Ye Luoxue nor Aunt Zhang were there. Wei Lan took a look at the stairs which seemed like an enlarged version of her. When she was about to climb up to the master bedroom on the second floor to look for Ye Luoxue, she was picked up from behind by a pair of big hands.
"What's wrong? Lanlan?" Wei Mingjie turned Wei Lan around, put his arm across, and let her sit comfortably in his arms.
Wei Lan's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Wei Mingjie's sleeve in surprise:
"I want to see a movie."
She added with emphasis: "Holographic movie."
Wei Mingjie was stunned when he heard this request, but he quickly came to his senses. He was not surprised that Wei Lan had never seen a holographic movie. Although the current film and television industry has basically achieved holographicization, holographic equipment is still a first-class consumer product and is not a must-have for every household. It is normal for families with poor conditions not to buy it. They can also choose to go to the cinema to watch holographic movies, but it is understandable that Wei's uncle will not take Wei Lan there.
At this time, Wei Lan was afraid that Wei Mingjie would not agree, so he stared at him expectantly: "Dad..."
'Wei Mingjie's impression 5 (10 times the blood relationship bonus)'
Wei Mingjie's nose was sore and he touched Wei Lan's head: "Look, Daddy will watch it with you!"
He carried Wei Lan to the private cinema in the basement of the villa.
There were three uniquely shaped holographic cabins in a row in the room. Wei Mingjie put Wei Lan into the holographic cabin, took out two connected patches from the cabin, and stuck them on both sides of her temples.
An ordinary household holographic device looks like a motorcycle helmet. The Wei family certainly has one, but it can only be used by children over six years old. Fortunately, the Wei family is not an ordinary family. They are directly equipped with a holographic cabin that actors use when filming. It is more comfortable than the holographic chairs in movie theaters and even has a touch setting.
He had just called the doctor at the police station who had previously examined Wei Lan. The doctor told him that there was absolutely no problem for Wei Lan to use the holographic device. In fact, early education holographic equipment has been developed on the market and can be used even by real three-year-old children.
Ordinary holographic devices are restricted to children under six years old, mainly because helmet-type devices are relatively heavy and there is a fear that long-term use may affect children's spinal development.
The holographic equipment was magical and new to Wei Lan. After entering, there was even a real small room. Everything seemed like a lucid dream.
Wei Lan studied it curiously for a while until Wei Mingjie sent a message: "Lanlan, remember to invite me when you choose a movie."
"Okay." Wei Lan was watching a recently released movie, and the first movie that caught her eye was the recently released blockbuster "Star Wars (Part 1)" that she had previously flipped through on her mobile phone.
Needless to say, it's you.
Wei Lan pointed his finger at the poster and invited Wei Mingjie at the same time.
The world in front of him went dark, then slowly brightened. Wei Lan felt like he had turned into a pair of eyes that could only watch. He could not find his own body from any three-dimensional perspective, but he could see everything around him.
She is now in space, with several planets nearby, the closest one being a huge red planet diagonally below.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Wei Lan discovered that he could zoom in or out on the world he saw and adjust his perspective at will.
"You actually chose this one..." Wei Mingjie's voice sounded beside Wei Lan, with some complex emotions: "Go ahead and take a look. It's a good time to take a look."
Wei Lan subconsciously looked to the side, but did not see Wei Mingjie. Instead, subtitles appeared in her sight. No matter how she shifted her gaze, the letters appeared right in front of her.
Star Wars: Part I
Producer: Chengguang Films
Director: Chen Yuanhang
After the opening credits ended, the scene in front of the two people jumped, and the perspective jumped directly to the nearest red planet.
This is a red desert, and in the desert, a spaceship chase is taking place.
"The default playback is from the director's perspective. You can also temporarily and freely choose the perspective you want to watch. If you like a certain actor, you can also choose to lock your perspective on him. However, there are still restrictions on the appearances of actors. If the actor's perspective you lock on has no role in the plot, it will automatically jump back to the director's perspective." Wei Mingjie knew that Wei Lan had never seen a holographic movie, and patiently explained softly.
"Yeah." Wei Lan agreed excitedly. He had already switched several perspectives with his mind and was completely immersed in this new world.
After the two-hour movie ended, Wei Lan, who came out of the holographic cabin, still seemed a little reluctant to leave.
Because of its special form of expression, even though Wei Lan gave a general evaluation of the film's plot and scene construction, he was still full of admiration for the holographic film technology.
Allowing the audience to truly enter the world they create is the ultimate dream of every artist, and holographic movies have achieved this.
Even though the sense of touch has not yet been synchronized with reality, it is enough for an art form like film. For example, if the alternation of hot and cold and the sweeping of whirlwinds in movie scenes were truly synchronized with the real sense of touch, it would distract the audience.
…
Early the next morning, Wei Lan took the initiative to find Wei Mingjie and asked about the business covered by Wei's Pictures.
Wei Mingjie put down his coffee cup and reached out to touch Wei Lan's nose: "In addition to investing in and shooting movies, we also sign contracts with stars and directors, do distribution, have an independent holographic channel, and produce variety shows and TV series..." He listed almost all the fields involved in the film and television industry: "The stall is pretty well laid out."
It's almost like saying "your dad is really successful".
"Dad, can you take me to see how holographic movies are shot and produced?" Wei Lan grabbed Wei Mingjie's sleeve, his voice soft and pitiful.
She was really looking forward to it and longing for it, so she didn't even need to act.
Wei Mingjie smiled. Judging from Wei Lan's excited attitude yesterday, he was not surprised at all that she would make this request today. This reminded him of the first time he went to the cinema with his father when he was four or five years old. At that time, it was a traditional screen movie, not like the holographic ones now, but he was still so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, and he recalled the vivid story that happened on the screen over and over again.
Looking at the little Wei Lan, he seemed to see himself back then.
"Of course no problem, you can go to work with dad today."
'Wei Mingjie's impression 3 (10 times the blood relationship bonus)'
Wei Mingjie happily took Wei Lan to work. When Ye Luoxue asked to go with them, he refused and patted his chest to promise that he could take good care of the child.
The words "I'm an adult" went around in Wei Lan's mouth, but he swallowed them.
Wei's Pictures is located in Chengyang District of H City, which is one of the most famous film and television export bases in the world. During the heyday of the Chinese entertainment industry in the past, many film and television works were produced and filmed here. Later, when the era of holographic movies came, this place is still the headquarters of many entertainment companies because of its unique cultural influence.
Wei Mingjie carried Wei Lan, who was wearing a blue dress and a light yellow soft hat, and went directly to the company's film and television production base, followed by the driver Lao Wang.
"Morning, Director Wei!"
The employees who met him along the way all cast curious glances at Wei Lan in his arms, but because of the huge gap in status and rank, they did not dare to ask rashly. Only after passing him did they hurriedly open their phones to spread the news.
Soon we arrived at the holographic production studio. There were rooms on both sides of the corridor. A man who looked like a person in charge walked over and said, "Hey, why are you here, Director Wei?"
Wei Mingjie hugged Wei Lan and smiled: "Bring the children to see how holographic movies are made. Manager Zhang, is there any vacant studio now?"
The boss had spoken, so Manager Zhang naturally would not refuse: "Yes, Shed No. 3 is empty. I'll take you there."
Entering the studio, Wei Lan was surprised. Although he knew that there should be technical differences between holographic movies and traditional movies, he did not expect that there was no remnant of traditional studios, no cameras, lighting boards or the like. Instead, there were many large computers connected to an equally large number of holographic cabins.
Of course, there is also the director's office on the second floor, which Wei Lan noticed first.
Noticing where Wei Lan's eyes were, Manager Zhang smiled with understanding and asked Wei Lan softly, "Little boy, do you want to try out what it's like to be a director?"
Wei Lan's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly looked at Manager Zhang, seeing the determined look on his face. Then he turned around and saw Wei Mingjie's expected smile:
"Do you want to?"
The happiness of rich people is unimaginable to ordinary people. Under the same circumstances, other parents’ way of satisfying their children is to watch two more movies, but Wei Mingjie can directly let Wei Lan experience how movies are shot. His father also satisfied him in this way when he was on the set.
Wei Lan was pleasantly surprised: “I want to!”
If Wei Mingjie had a system, the system would definitely prompt him that Wei Lan's favorability had skyrocketed.
The two men took Wei Lan into the director's room, which was filled with large computers and pipelines, connecting to the obvious and extremely large holographic cabin in the middle.
"If you have any questions, exit the director's machine. We'll be waiting for you outside."
After everything was ready, Wei Mingjie looked at the slowly closing hatch and said jokingly and encouragingly:
"Come on, Director Wei."
It was pitch black in front of him. Wei Lan waited for five seconds, feeling a little puzzled as to why there was no light.
Then, a light appeared in her vision.
God said, “Let there be light.”
Then there was light.
Wei Lan understood why Manager Zhang had that "bring your kids here to play" expression before.
The director's machine is the drawing board and consciousness is the brush, in which you can freely draw a virtual world.
Unlike watching a holographic movie as a viewer, the creation of a holographic movie depends entirely on the director's consciousness.
It can be said that in the director's holographic cabin, she is a god and can do whatever she wants.
Generate light, generate matter, and even generate animals... In addition to humans who also have intelligent consciousness, Wei Lan can create anything that her consciousness can depict in the director machine!
Wei Lan actually has a secret that no one knows.
She has been dreaming since she was a child, and she would dream about real scenes from other worlds.
Unlike normal people whose dreams are a reflection of reality, Wei Lan's dreams are very detailed and have nothing to do with her real environment. When she was four years old and didn't know many basic concepts, she had already seen galactic civilization wars, thousands of swords flying in the world of cultivation, and zombies besieging the city in the wasteland world...
In her dreams, she can see many things, those unique world features, and the real legends played out in those worlds. She can feel the changes in those worlds, as well as the joys and sorrows of the people in those worlds.
Therefore, Wei Lan, who grew up in an orphanage, has been more mature than other children since childhood. Others praised her for her high emotional intelligence and EQ. In fact, it was because she was able to obtain a lot of information even in her dreams since she was a child.
At the same time, because of this, Wei Lan has always had headaches due to excessive information exposure since childhood, and she has become accustomed to it, so her brain cancer in her previous life was not discovered until it was in the late stage.
In the previous life, 'Director Wei is never satisfied' even became a meme.
When her screen debut was a huge hit, a reporter happened to ask Wei Lan if she was satisfied with the work, and her answer was no.
At first everyone thought Wei Lan was being modest, but later, every time a new film of hers was released, reporters would ask the same question.
Wei Lan’s answer has always been: dissatisfied.
But every time Wei Lan's work is "unsatisfactory", it always shocks the world in the end. Everyone thinks it is the humility of a genius. In fact, they don't know that Wei Lan is really dissatisfied. She is dissatisfied with the various conditions and restrictions of the current era and can never perfectly express what she wants to express.
Now, it's all possible.
