Chapter 405: Losing Friends

Perhaps everything in the world is difficult at the beginning. From zero to one is as difficult as ascending to heaven, but from one to two - it only takes seconds.

It has to be said that young people of this age are at their most beautiful, not to mention that they have been training for many years. All their lines seem to be so smooth and perfect, coupled with the unique prop mechas and military uniforms... Su Yun slightly shifted his gaze, as if he was afraid that he would be tempted to think too much about things he shouldn't think about.

However, the person who aroused her thoughts did not think so at all.

Seeing Su Yun looking away, whether out of shyness or disgust, Tom frowned slightly and said, "It seems a bit tight... Will it be inconvenient to move around?"

"Has your body size changed recently?" Su Yun was indeed brought back to her senses by his words, and was about to check the place he mentioned.

So Tom generously thrust his chest forward and said, "Maybe I've been exercising a lot recently, so the size of my muscles has changed..."

"It seems to be true - this part needs some modification!" Su Yun estimated it with her eyes, and then loudly called a few big men from the props team, holding various tools to surround the confused Tom.

This group of props includes not only the props from Hong Kong whom Su Yun brought in under the pretext of "reducing labor costs and strengthening technical exchanges," but also the props from a film crew called "The Thing" that Su Yun's special effects studio had taken over at a preferential price.

Speaking of which, the movie "The Thing" is also a sci-fi masterpiece. Unfortunately, compared to the famous and profitable "Alien", it was banned because the monster model was too "good". It basically did not make much splash and was forgotten by people shortly after its release. It is completely different from the "Alien" series, which has sequels one after another.

Although Su Yun herself is mainly engaged in computer-generated virtual special effects, she never underestimates physical special effects, which are real special effects technology visible to the naked eye. What is most needed in physical special effects is a master craftsman who can make good models. The preferential price given to the post-production of "The Thing" crew was nothing more than cherishing talent and attracting talents.

If she wants to shoot science fiction movies in the future, such as the "Resident Evil" series of movies that will definitely start shooting in the future, as well as the "Journey to the West" crew that came to her for help this morning, and the "Ultraman" series that may come to her for help in the future...she will inevitably need talent resources for physical special effects.

After they had established a good relationship, when Su Yun said he wanted to make models for a movie, he quickly contacted this group of technicians: after previous cooperation, they all knew that Su Yun valued talents and was a semi-expert, and was generous and quick to pay. He would not make the mistake of an amateur commanding experts, nor would he complain about how a few shabby models cost so much money... So this group of guys adjusted their work schedules internally, and then joined the team one after another.

The most important thing is that Su Yun is one of them. Most of the people doing this job are of the second dimension nature, and the keywords related to Su Yun, such as "Artificial Intelligence", "Star Wars", "Resident Evil" and "Batman", are all things they all like. If you hang out with Su Yun's crew, not only can you speak in the same voice, but you may also get some limited edition peripherals that are not available on the market as overtime pay...

The funniest thing is, after hearing that some of the biggest bosses were contacted by Su Yun to join the "Batman" live-action movie crew and jointly produced a series of Batman accessories for the actors, those guys who were not able to participate in it were almost sighing and regretting that their technical level was not enough and they could not personally join this "historic event".

Many old Batman fans who are still determined to succeed have pestered Su Yun several times, asking her whether she would make a live-action version of the comic book in the future - if so, they would be willing to join the crew even if they were paid to do so!

Regarding this kind of leeks who know how to reap the benefits of their own efforts, Su Yun could only say with a smile: She spent a lot of effort to obtain the filming rights for the live-action version of "Batman" that is waiting to be released, and she had to give up half of the director's rights due to insufficient qualifications. Whether she can continue to participate in the production of live-action movies adapted from "Batman" comics in the future will still have to wait for the results of this "Batman" to be released to decide.

Although she herself feels that this work is the best that can be achieved in this era, the box office and word of mouth of a movie after its release are inherently mysterious and depend on luck. In order to avoid setting a flag and being slapped in the face, Su Yun of course chose to be low-key, cautious and modest before the results come out.

Faced with Su Yun's reply, the guys could only continue to work hard: Although Su Yun's new movie seemed good, they only knew a rough idea and could not predict much.

However, it is definitely worth working hard to do the job well. On the one hand, it can improve one's own level and qualifications, and on the other hand, it can help Su Yun achieve success... Then maybe Su Yun can start filming "Batman" again in the future.

The "Superman" series, which created a myth of live-action movies in the past few years, has declined to a controversial level in the third film, although it is not outrageous.

I heard that Christopher Reeve, the actor who plays Superman, will write the script for the fourth movie, but it is rumored that due to the controversy of the third movie, the budget for the fourth movie has been reduced... Although it is still unknown what the future success or failure of the "Superman" series will be, whether it will continue to be glorious or decline from now on, but summing up these unfavorable news, the probability of failure again is not small.

Now that "Superman" has become a failure, if "Batman" directed by Su Yun still encounters problems, they may not see any hope of live-action adaptations of comic books for a long time.

Therefore, no matter whether the result of this "Batman" is good or bad, they must work hard to help Su Yun make this "Edge of Tomorrow" well: in this way, even if "Batman" really fails, this movie can also allow Su Yun to get back some of her investment and not be unable to recover from it.

What a precious opportunity it is for one of their own to lead the filming! They can't let their idol be ruined by outsiders who misunderstand the meaning!

Thinking of this, one by one, they worked more skillfully.

Although Su Yun had no idea what was going on in the technicians' minds, she put on a very polite show on the surface. She checked the modified prop mecha on Tom and tried on her own prop mecha. After both of them confirmed that there were no more problems, she announced that the work for the day was over.

"Alright, I will definitely do what I promised you before you joined the team." Su Yun called out loudly, "Next, during the first two days of the San Diego Comic-Con, those who don't participate can choose to take a break, and those who want to participate will all have internal tickets!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue immediately cheered.

Most of the staff members who were more inclined to the three-dimensional world chose to rest, but the group of technicians all chose to form a team to go to the comic exhibition - many of them were the ones who did not get the tickets for the earlier dates of the comic exhibition, and decisively put aside their work and continued to move forward for the internal tickets promised by Su Yun...

The San Diego Comic-Con, which was once a small-scale event, has now become very successful in recent years. As one of the sponsors and an old friend of the organizer, Su Yun naturally has some admission spots on hand.

After counting the number of people going to the comic convention, Su Yun briefly explained the corresponding precautions again, and then asked them to go back and prepare the things they needed to bring, and charter a car to the designated location early tomorrow morning to set off.

This place is about two hours' drive from San Diego. In order to thank these "own people" for joining the group in time and satisfying his own leisure and entertainment needs, Su Yun generously rented a bus and a truck to take away the people and props.

After all, she has been busy with work in recent years and her focus has been basically in Hong Kong, so she seldom goes to comic conventions in person. At most, she asks her artists to do cosplay performances to maintain the cooperation and friendship between the two parties. This time, she has come across such a rare opportunity, so of course she wants to have a good time with this large group of like-minded people before she has to start the day and night shooting work.

After discussion, the people on the bus decided to form a Justice League; and in order to "hide their tracks", Su Yun and Tom became the only villain and anti-hero in the team: Chou and Catwoman.

The makeup of Chou and the costume of Catwoman are both good covers to hide their true appearance. Moreover, Su Yun has martial arts skills and ballet skills learned from previous filming, so she looks quite charming when cosplaying the role of Catwoman. As for Tom… he was tortured a lot by Jack Nicholson, who played Chou in the movie, both in and out of the play. Now that he is cosplaying Chou, he seems to have some of Nicholson’s crazy charm.

Alas, if it wasn't for the wrong timing, she really wanted to get Zha Lan to join in...

Seeing Su Yun staring closely at the burly man who was cosplaying as Batman, her eyes rolling around as if she was thinking about something, Tom suddenly felt a little aggrieved for being ignored, so he stretched out his finger and poked her shoulder.

Normally, his aggrieved look would naturally make people feel sorry for him, but today, after he put on a face full of heavy makeup that made him look ugly... Su Yun subconsciously turned around and saw such a heavily painted face, and almost threw the whip in her hand.

This unintentional incident seemed to be no problem at all between the two people who had known each other for many years, but the group of guys who were drowsy in the car around them woke up one after another and started to look over: If you guys were playing this, then we wouldn't be sleepy anymore!
