Just when the whole plane was getting dark, Shao Yiqi suddenly slipped out from the VIP cabin at the back and ran to Yang Ruoqian in a shameless manner.
"What are you doing?" Yang Ruoqian took a bottle of freshly squeezed juice from Chang Zhiqing and asked unhappily, "Aren't you playing a shooting game?"
Shao Yiqi sat down in an empty seat and comfortably set a massage mode for himself: "I am the producer of this film, how can I not witness this exciting moment with my own eyes?"
Yang Ruoqian took a sip of iced watermelon juice and glanced at the movie that hadn't started yet: "Don't be nervous. I won't blame you even if the movie fails."
"Ha! You're just kidding..."
While the two college classmates were chatting, Shang Qianyu was not idle either. She quickly took a group of photos and posted them on her Weibo.
"My second movie is out, everyone go watch it!"
Soon, all the early scenes of the movie were played out and the main film began.
At the beginning, the picture presented in the movie was a news broadcast. There was CCTV hanging in the upper left corner, and in the middle was a group of photos of construction work in which nothing could be seen, with blue, black and red subtitles below.
Yang Ruoqian couldn't help laughing when he saw the beginning.
That’s it?
Two sets of photos that could be taken at any construction site, pictures that can be photoshopped for a few dollars, and a broadcasting voice that can be found for a few hundred dollars can be used as the opening of a movie costing hundreds of millions of dollars?
It doesn't even look like a big production.
Sure enough, I found the right people. From the producer, to the director, to the actors, none of them had experience in shooting such a big movie.
So much money was spent but there was no particularly amazing beginning.
I thought it would at least open high and end low, but now it doesn’t even open high? The juice in my hand is even sweeter…
The narration in the movie continued, and the photos were constantly updated. A few blurry, interesting-looking buildings flashed by, and there were no more detailed pictures.
"Well, they built 10,000 planetary engines on Earth to push the Earth forward? This setting is quite interesting."
After looking at a series of photos, the announcer emphasized that these engines are the only hope for survival for all human beings on the earth.
This is a crisis that is enough to lead to the destruction of mankind... Well, compared with "Fortress of Devil", the director is still very obedient, not bad!
Yang Ruoqian silently gave the director a thumbs up in his heart.
As long as all the requirements of the entire film are in accordance with Yang Ruoqian's requirements, even if the settings are a little novel, it will not have much impact on the final direction of the entire film.
On the big screen, the plot of the movie continues to advance, saying that humans have put all their efforts into building a space station as a pilot.
But the launch animation seems to have been stolen from some contemporary manned spacecraft launch site...
Yang Ruoqian tilted his head slightly and asked with satisfaction, "Isn't this picture of yours a little too perfunctory?"
Shao Yiqi immediately retorted: "This is called a performance technique! It's only been a few minutes, please be patient and continue watching. It's just a prologue, the real plot hasn't started yet."
"Tsk, is it really as magical as you say?"
The content on the movie screen continued to play, and just as Shao Yiqi said, after more than ten seconds, the screen began to show a scene of looking down at the earth from space, and also appeared the space station that was said to have taken all mankind 30 years to build.
From the outside, it is indeed spectacular.
As people in various languages shouted "Goodbye, Solar System", the movie screen turned white and the words "11 years later" appeared.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Ruoqian asked, "Where is the protagonist?"
Shao Yiqi stared at the screen: "It will come out soon, don't worry!"
"Are you anxious?"
“…”
While the two were joking around, a small TV screen in a shabby room was playing a notice - the astronauts who had worked on the space station for decades were about to return.
Among them is the protagonist’s biological father.
It was not until this time that the hero and heroine officially appeared. They made a fake identity certificate in a shameful place, intending to use this certificate to leave the underground city hidden under the planetary engine and take a look at the outside world.
Seeing this setting, Yang Ruoqian almost clapped his hands in admiration! Previously, he had asked the production team to cover Shang Qianyu's face as much as possible, and to cover her figure as much as possible.
As long as it can weaken Shang Qianyu's acting skills and her personal charm, then do whatever can be done.
Now Shang Qianyu didn't even have time to say a few words before he was put into heavy work clothes. Except for his face, which was exposed, all other parts of his body were covered tightly, and no skin could be seen at all.
The Earth is about to fly away from the solar system, and the surface world is no longer suitable for human survival. The hero and heroine want to explore the surface, so they put on protective clothing...
Because it was the end of the world and Shang Qianyu was a student, she was deliberately given some dusty makeup.
Her appearance has dropped by nearly 30%.
Everything makes sense!
Except for the beginning when Shang Qianyu appeared in school uniform, the rest of the time only his face could be seen.
The director team is really wholeheartedly fulfilling Mr. Yang's request. Very good. We will add chicken legs to the meals next time.
After changing their clothes, the hero and heroine took advantage of the large crowd and mixed into the team heading to the surface.
When riding in the elevator, the male and female protagonists both wore helmets. Not only were their looks and acting skills obscured by the reflective glass cover, but even Shang Qianyu's pleasant voice was mixed with an echo.
Although his appearance hidden by the helmet is still very high, the personal influence brought by the actor Shang Qianyu has indeed been reduced to the lowest.
"Not bad, not bad. Xiao Shang's image is very good." Even though Yang Ruoqian often criticized Shao Yiqi, he had to praise his professionalism at this time, "It completely meets my requirements."
Shang Qianyu next to him immediately looked up and stopped posting updates, looking excited: "Boss, you think so too, right? I also think that this dress is super cool!"
"I think this outfit is even cooler than the uniform in The Black Robe Inspection Team! It's full of science fiction!"
"Originally I wanted to get a set of costumes to take home after the movie, but unfortunately I forgot..."
Seeing these two funny guys singing the same tune, Shao Yiqi couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "What a handsome guy! Shang Qianyu's pure desire is not shown at all... Apart from the name having some influence, what's the difference between using a random actor?"
“…”
On the big screen, through the elevator window, you can see that the surface environment has been covered with ice and snow, and the high reinforced concrete walls supporting the elevator demonstrate the power of human science and engineering.
Don't mention it, this special effect is really realistic...
At least the scene was quite intimidating.
As soon as the elevator door opened when it reached the surface, the temperature on the thermometer dropped sharply from 16 degrees to minus 80 degrees, and the wind and frost blew directly into the elevator!
Under the attack of cold and strong wind, most people had to bend over to move forward.
Yang Ruoqian's attention was immediately attracted by this small detail.
Outside the elevator, dark clouds covered the sky, the huge white light and roar of the planetary engine, and the futuristic cars driving on the road presented a shocking scene to the fullest.
Just as the movie was entering a crucial plot, the stewardess came over with a cart full of food and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang, Ms. Chang, good afternoon, both of you."
"Your lunch is ready. What do you need?"
Originally, in order to create a buffet atmosphere, Yang Ruoqian asked the flight attendants to prepare the meals and place them on the cabinet in front.
Take the tableware and serve yourself whatever you want to eat.
If the food is not enough, ask the flight attendant to refill it.
But now, everyone on the plane was focused on this movie, and even the few people who knew the plot were not distracted for even a minute.
After all, when filming a movie, you can only see the green screen, and you have to reshoot it countless times. Whether it is the sense of atmosphere, sense of immersion or visual impact, it is far inferior to the movie itself.
Just knowing the plot is actually just like that.
Yang Ruoqian temporarily pulled his eyes away from the screen, glanced at the dining car, and asked absentmindedly, "What's there?"
The stewardess spoke clearly: "Lunch is a Western meal, including pasta with truffle sauce, baked lobster with cheese, grilled lamb chops with black pepper sauce, French foie gras with crisp bread, cream mushroom truffle soup, salmon sashimi..."
Yang Ruoqian thought for a moment and replied, "Just give me a grilled lamb chop, pasta and mushroom soup."
Western food is Western food, but Yang Ruoqian’s dining habit is to have meat as the staple food and a serving of soup.
The flight attendant immediately took out the tray and started to put food in it: "Okay, I'll fill one for you first. If it's not enough, you can always call me, okay?"
Yang Ruoqian turned his gaze back to the screen and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Sure."
"After you finish your meal, do you want me to bring you dessert?"
"Haagen-Dazs, please." Yang Ruoqian said casually while looking at the screen.
"OK."
“…”
After simply ordering the food, Yang Ruoqian turned his attention back to the movie itself.
At this time, the hero and heroine have boarded the sci-fi work vehicle and started moving towards the target location.
Along the way, Shang Qianyu looked around and asked questions curiously, and the male protagonist patiently explained what these things were and their specific uses.
As the story is told, the camera pulls further and further away, and one shocking giant building after another comes into view.
Yang Ruoqian ate the lamb chops that had been deboned while watching the images on the screen.
Eating in a grand setting is delicious! Shao Yiqi on the side took a bite of French foie gras, suddenly leaned over and said, "Here it comes!"
Yang Ruoqian put the mutton into his mouth, somewhat puzzled: "What's coming?"
"Don't you want to see the full view of the space station? It's coming soon." Shao Yiqi boasted with some pride, "Let me tell you, the design of this space station will definitely shock you."
"By rotating, we can use centripetal force to simulate gravity and improve the working environment for our staff. Isn't this a good idea?"
"Isn't this big roulette-shaped space station cool?"
Yang Ruoqian nodded and praised: "To be honest, it's really good."
In the movie, the plot is still moving forward - in the space station, the protagonist's father is preparing for retirement.
On Earth, the male protagonist and his sister, the female protagonist Shang Qianyu, were locked up in a confinement room and scolded by their grandfather.
A very nice and warm little family farce.
Suddenly, the screen began to vibrate violently, the walls cracked, and the buildings collapsed, catching everyone, including Yang Ruoqian, off guard.
The picture zooms out and the planetary engine that was spewing flames suddenly shuts down!
The confinement cell collapsed and the protagonists escaped in a thrilling manner.
The space station showed that thousands of planetary engines malfunctioned and shut down at almost the same time.
The Earth's thrust force dropped by half, and the steering force was zero! The Earth, which was originally able to fly out of the solar system, will crash into Jupiter in more than 30 hours due to the loss of thrust!
Those originally magnificent giant buildings collapsed one after another under the violent shaking.
The truck narrowly avoided the falling steel bars and concrete one after another and barely made it to a safe open area.
Seeing the sudden change, Yang Ruoqian even slowed down his eating.
This plot is quite exciting...
Yang Ruoqian forked a mouthful of pasta and nodded slightly - this kind of movie is really good to watch with a meal.
"Emergency rescue operations are underway around the world... Everyone is trying to restart the planetary engine..."
The protagonists encountered a combat rescue team, and after resolving the misunderstanding, they launched an operation together.
They needed to deliver fuel to the planet's steering engine, a process that was filled with difficulties and dangers, and involved countless sacrifices.
Various grand scenes are performed one after another, all the details of the giant engine are clearly visible, and every special effect is extremely realistic, almost satisfying all the audience's fantasies about that world.
Finally, the protagonist's father drove a giant space station towards Jupiter and, at the cost of his own destruction, detonated the flammable gases on Jupiter, pushing the earth away from danger, allowing the earth to get back on track and avoid the fate of destruction.
The scene where the protagonist and his father separated for the same goal stirred up a lot of emotions.
In the end, the faulty engines were repaired one by one, and at the end of the movie, the earth continued to run towards the unknown distance in a blue flame.
Just as Yang Ruoqian was intoxicated by the dual shock of vision and spirit, Shao Yiqi's proud voice came from the side: "How is it, not bad, right?"
Mr. Yang hadn't reacted yet and nodded subconsciously: "It's really good..."
Before he knew it, the movie and his lunch were over.
"Boss Yang, Boss Cheng, inside information: judging from the first batch so far, the movie is going to be a big hit at the box office! Even more successful than The Black Robe Inspection Team!"
"All theaters are urgently adjusting their schedules!"
“We did it!”
The box office hit...
Yang Ruoqian suddenly woke up with a start.
Oh shit!
I was so engrossed in the plot that I actually forgot about this! Damn it, the better the movie is, the more tickets it sells, and the less Yang Ruoqian earns!
"No, no... All the details were correct, and the director was shooting according to my requirements, so why did the final product turn out like this?!"
Yang Ruoqian glanced at the cockpit and at this moment he wanted to rush over and grab the rudder to let the plane return to the country!
What's going on? You picked the time when he was boarding the plane to go abroad to cause trouble, right? ! PS: Have you read the extra chapter? Is it exciting to prick the "handle"? Give the author some suggestions! (End of this chapter)
