"Wow, wow, wow! This suit of armor is so much prettier and more exquisite than the previous one!"
"I originally thought that after that Type 1 armor was taken away, any future scenes involving armor in the script would have to rely on special effects."
"I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be so capable! He actually got an even more awesome suit of armor. The craftsmanship is freaking cool!"
"Mr. Xu, is this thing really capable of flying?"
"Well, I wouldn't think so about props that others brought, but props that President Xu brought are another story."
"Yes, the previous suit of armor was taken by the Great Xia Research Institute for research, and this one might be the same."
...
Faced with the cacophony of voices, Xu Lu smiled.
In fact, this is still his Mark III armor that he often wears while flying, except that the power source... that is, the Arc Reactor, is not installed.
Therefore, the function of this suit of armor is actually similar to that of the Mark I suit of armor that was taken away by the Great Xia Research Institute before, except that it is lighter and made of different materials.
Even if you put the arc reactor on it, most people still wouldn't be able to use this armor.
Because the armor itself has a programmed feature that prevents anyone other than Xu Lu himself or his designated personnel from activating it.
Furthermore, wherever there is internet access, our AI 'Zhenvis' can monitor everything...
Although it would have been fine to put it on the Ark reactor, Xu Lu removed it from the Mark III armor because that thing was now being used for something else.
Anyway, he can't actually fly in the sky while wearing armor during filming.
This thing is the same as the previous one; it's used as a prop during filming. The fact that you can even wear it and move around in it is already amazing.
...
Filming of 'Iron Man' proceeded smoothly every day, and the Mark III armor was used as a prop and stored in the crew's warehouse.
However, Xu Lu did not stop having fun with his daily "flight" after returning to the villa after "get off work".
As for why he could still enjoy the joy of soaring through the sky even without the Mark III armor, it was because he had already created a new model of armor.
Yes!
Following the Mark 3-Star Armor, Xu Lu, with the assistance of the artificial intelligence 'Zhenweis', created the Mark 7 Suitcase-style Armor.
This thing can now be folded into the shape of a suitcase for easy carrying, and it's also much lighter than the previous two suits of armor.
Compare the three suits of Iron Man armor he has currently built.
The Mark I armor is the heaviest, weighing over 200 pounds, which is too heavy for most people to lift.
The Mark III armor I used a few days ago was better, but it still weighed over 100 pounds.
Xu Lu's latest creation, the suitcase-style Mark 7 armor, weighs only a little over 30 kilograms.
Anyone with a little strength can lift it with one hand.
Of course, while reducing weight, the Iron Man armor actually sacrifices some of its defensive capabilities.
There's nothing we can do about it.
After all, the armor's defensive function comes from the outer armor plates, so a reduction in weight means a reduction in the thickness of the armor plates.
Naturally, its defensive capabilities will weaken.
The design philosophy behind the Mark VII armor is to sacrifice defensive capabilities for portability.
...
Of course, unsurprisingly, the appearance of the new Iron Man suit props once again became a trending topic.
Fortunately, Xu Lu did not demonstrate the ability of the armor to fly this time, otherwise things would have gotten much worse.
As for now...
The Mark III armor, which is being used as a prop by many, is only cool in appearance, which has led to many netizens asking about its price in the comments section.
Despite the outside noise, the filming of the movie did not have a significant impact on the crew.
What puzzled everyone was that this film shoot seemed to be far more complicated than the previous ones.
"Director Xu, do you think the script should be simplified a bit?"
If we keep filming like this, I reckon we won't be able to finish editing in two hours!
That day, the assistant director mustered up the courage to approach Xu Lu and offer his suggestions.
Producer Feng Xiaoxia was also present and nodded, saying:
"Mr. Xu, I also feel that our script this time is a bit too complicated, with too many villains!"
It's no wonder these two people were puzzled; in fact, even the actors in the crew were starting to feel something was off.
After all, for a normal person, one main villain is enough in a movie.
The protagonist uses various resources to defeat the main villain, and the movie naturally comes to an end.
However, the 'Iron Man' film produced by Da Xu Culture this time is quite different.
Based on everyone's feedback after reading the script, it was discovered that there are actually three main villains in the story.
After defeating one, another one comes along; after defeating the second, the third one comes on stage.
During this process, the protagonist's equipment is upgraded time and time again.
From the initial Mark I armor, to the Mark III armor used to fight the first major villain, and then to the portable Mark VII armor...
This made everyone feel like they were filming a TV drama.
What's also a bit strange is that the script contains some plot holes that are completely inexplicable, and it's unclear what their purpose is.
So after discussing it privately, assistant director Lao Zhou and producer Feng Xiaoxia approached Xu Lu to explain the situation.
