Chapter 37 Decision
However, no matter how angry Su Yun was, it was useless. Since ancient times, it has been difficult for the younger generation to persuade the elders who are quite confident in themselves to obey.
No matter how hard a group of people tried to persuade Lu Shaolong to go to the hospital for a check-up, it would not be more practical than just taking action first and then reporting back.
So, after secretly getting the cooperation of his master's wife Lian Da, Su Yun came to Lu Shaolong's house one night a few days later, under the pretext of delivering a special effects sample.
He also brought a general practitioner and an old Chinese medicine doctor with him.
Facing Lu Shaolong's speechless expression, Su Yun said confidently: "You can watch TV. The doctor is examining you. It won't hinder you!"
"That's right, Daddy can't be like my sister, who has to see a doctor whenever she feels unwell!" Lu Shaolong's little daughter is still young, so she is naturally afraid of things like doctors giving injections. So his eldest son Brandon often feels sorry for his sister while making fun of her "glorious deeds"...
This behavior shows that he is a close brother.
The whole family, including his most beloved little disciple, tried their best to persuade him earnestly. Lu Shaolong had no choice but to sit back on the sofa helplessly, watching the special effects samples produced by Su Yun while letting the general practitioner and the old Chinese medicine doctor give him a simple physical examination.
At first, Lu Shaolong was quite uncooperative, until the sample video started airing, Lu Shaolong was completely attracted and focused all his attention on the TV screen, letting the two doctors do whatever they wanted.
"How did you do that?!" I've seen post-production special effects in the United States, but either the images look fake due to budget constraints, or it costs a lot of money to combine special effects and props to make the resulting images look more realistic than ordinary special effects.
Are computers really so magical?
Is it possible to create such a dreamlike and extremely realistic picture just by drawing and constructing it on the computer without the need for people to painstakingly create realistic props and scenery? !
“Sometimes, it’s the fake that makes it the most ‘real’,” Su Yun explained, “because it’s meant to deceive people, so you have to put in more effort than if it were real—the same is true for making movies and being an actor.”
"How long did you work on this five-minute effect?" Stunned by the magnificent seven-story pagoda on the screen, Lu Shaolong couldn't help but turn his head to look at Su Yun - and then he was forcibly twisted back by the old Chinese doctor who was checking his cervical spine with a speed and strength that was completely inappropriate for his age...
"About two months. Ever since you gave me the script, I have been trying to construct a seven-story pagoda in my mind." Of course, the idea took so long to come up with, but with the help of the system, Su Yun, who already had the idea in his mind, completed it in just two nights.
But even in her era, it would take more than two months for all the staff of a large first-tier factory to work overtime to achieve this level of precision and effect.
However, people still have high expectations for computers, so Su Yun took advantage of the gap in information cognition and made these remarks after careful consideration.
Here, Lu Shaolong was still marveling at the amazing post-production special effects. The general practitioner and old Chinese medicine doctor beside him were also amazed at how Lu Shaolong, despite his physical condition, could avoid going to the hospital.
The general practitioner could only simply prescribe some nutritional medicines for Lu Shaolong due to the lack of large-scale examination equipment, and strongly suggested that he go to the hospital for a comprehensive and all-round physical examination. The old Chinese doctor frowned and thought hard for a long time, wrote down several long prescriptions, and earnestly told Lu Shaolong that his old spinal injury had shown signs of recurrence, which was likely to affect the brain along the vertebrae. He must change the current situation and take good care of himself as soon as possible, otherwise, if something went wrong, it would definitely lead to a disaster.
Hearing that both China and the West were suggesting that he give up his job and rest up, Lu Shaolong was very troubled: It's not that he didn't understand the logic, but it's just that at this critical moment, he really can't follow the advice and give up his job.
So he turned around again and cast his sights on Renda, who was easier to conquer.
"Lian Da, I promise you that after I finish filming these two previously agreed movies, I will start to rest right away..." After much persuasion, Lian Da finally agreed to Lu Shaolong's request.
"Then remember to take the medicine on time. During this time, I have to prepare for the final exams at school..." Seeing that even Chinese and Western medicine doctors have suggested this, but Lu Shaolong and Lian Da still haven't really realized the dangers, Su Yun was angry and anxious, and wanted to give up. "In the next period of time, I may not be able to visit Master and Master's wife often because of the exams, but I will work hard to practice, please don't worry!"
It was fun to gamble, but after saying goodbye to Lu Shaolong and his wife, who felt very guilty about her actions tonight, and leaving Lu Shaolong's house with her small bag on her back, Su Yun felt an indescribable complex and irritable mood as she sat in the car on the way home.
It's not that Mr. and Mrs. Lu Shaolong didn't appreciate her concern, which is why they looked guilty when she left in anger - but Lu Shaolong really loved his work, and these two movies were his dream path to Hollywood, so unless something really went wrong, no one could persuade him.
Lian Da also knew Lu Shaolong's character very well, so at Lu Shaolong's request, he went to Lu Shaolong's camp to speak for him.
Even in the era of later generations when news of death from overwork and sudden death was everywhere, there were still many people who thought that it was a matter of small probability and that they had a good chance of getting lucky, so they didn't take it seriously - little did they know that once they got lucky and it happened, it would become a lifelong regret.
This Chinese superstar who changed the Westerners' impression of China, whose few movies broke box office records and swept the world, and who redefined the term Kung Fu and wrote it into history books, fell from the sky like a meteor after only a few short years at his peak... It is not only a huge regret for Hong Kong and China, but also for an era.
Is regret a regret because it cannot be changed?
The system being questioned was silent for a moment, and then mechanically replied: "Accidents can be avoided, but developments cannot be interfered with."
"That is to say, people who leave prematurely due to accidents can actually get a new life by avoiding accidents, but it is difficult for people who have reached the right age to change?" Su Yun thought about it carefully and came to the conclusion.
Although this answer may seem too cruel to the elderly, it is indeed true.
Even if the disabled elderly people avoid one accident, there will be countless more in the future, because their body function conditions do not allow them to hold on for much longer.
But young people can get a new lease of life by avoiding a fatal accident.
"Thank you." Su Yun was extremely satisfied with the system she was working with: unlike the artificial intelligence systems in many novels, which were always thinking about making trouble for the protagonist and adding difficulties; her artificial intelligence system was usually taciturn, but would always give her the greatest help and hints within its capacity when necessary. This was real artificial intelligence!
Su Yun believes that she is actually just an older middle school girl who is easily impulsive - you can tell from the fact that she can calmly accept the extremely high shame of the name "Mary Sue"...
In many rebirth novels, there are always two extreme differences.
Some people feel that they have been reborn with great difficulty, so they must cherish this second life, act rationally, protect themselves, and live their own lives peacefully and steadily. That would be the best.
But Su Yun prefers "wear Qing clothes but don't rebel, wear an chrysanthemum with an electric diamond" and "I have to fight for my place in this world", which seems to be a mindless mentality and approach.
Perhaps many stories believe that not being a savior and protecting oneself is the most rational thing to do. But she lives in this era, when regrets have not yet been born, and she cannot control herself to stay rational and not take action when faced with an accident.
She cannot be called a savior, she just followed her heart and did not want the regret to happen again - she was powerless because of the barriers of time and space, but now she has the opportunity, so no matter what, she wants to do her best.
Anyway, her name is Marilyn Sue, so what if she is obviously brainless and happy?
She would rather be such a brainless and Su Shuang Xiaobai than pretend to be one of those people who say that they are rational and will not interfere with the development of the times and will not be Su Wen's savior. She "actively" stays away from those familiar names that are bound to appear in this era as long as she is in contact with this circle.
On the one hand, they say they don’t want to have any contact with people and just want to watch them from a distance; on the other hand, they “helplessly” allow the plot to develop and they come into contact with them, and then they become the light, friend, salvation, and even spouse of those people whom they actually “don’t want to be” in their hearts…
For example, when it comes to being a plagiarist, unless you are copying the novel and becoming a "creative genius", when filming a movie, you will definitely change some things due to various factors. Su Yun's version of "The Perfect Match" actually changed some of the plot and ending, but because the core plot is the identity swap of the twins, she must honestly admit that she is remaking the original story and plagiarizing the movie version in later reality.
Compared to those who write a system and buy the copyright, and then say it is not considered plagiarism, or those who copy the core plot of other people's stories and change the skin and then say that their work is purely original and not plagiarized... Su Yun feels that it is better for him to honestly admit that he is a plagiarist.
"Through calculations, given the host's personality, he would indeed do so." The system also said.
"So you agree with my idea? In that case, can I continue to request and use your help?" Su Yun asked.
"Assisting the host is the system's responsibility." The system still responded in a very official manner, but it did not affect its adorable seriousness in Su Yun's eyes. "Through another kind of calculation, the host is also someone who will definitely take action when necessary. Since it is impossible to change the host's thinking and it will not affect the overall situation, there is no reason for the system to assist the host to go against it."
Su Yun was deeply moved to receive such a heartwarming reply from her own artificial intelligence system: Although the garbage men in the garbage man world have countless computers, they usually only call their favorite one "wife" or "first wife", and the others are called second, third, fourth, etc.
There is no doubt that the system with performance and intelligence that are ahead of its time is definitely her favorite!
"I've decided. I will work hard to change this 'regret'!" Standing under the starless and moonless night sky, looking out the car window at the scenery that used to only appear in old Hong Kong movies but now appears in front of her eyes, Su Yun made up her mind about the system that only she could perceive.
