The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 116 Another world famous painting waiting to be collected!

……

"I'm going upstairs to bed first. You two should go to bed early too."

After being busy in the hospital for a long time and finally sending the injured Gao Yuanyuan away, Lu Zhiyuan was exhausted.

When he got home, he fell asleep.

Inside the living room.

Xin Yukun still has some business, mainly reconciling accounts with Universal Pictures.

Although the film has been completed, many accounts still need to be checked one by one.

As a producer, he is actually the steward of the entire crew, especially in terms of finance.

Things like reconciliation really give him a headache.

Xin Yukun was pressing the calculator until he almost smoked, but there was always one account that didn't add up, hundreds of thousands of dollars were missing, which made him very worried.

Reba sat opposite Xin Yukun, her eyes narrowed, staring at him without blinking, with a hint of murderous intent.

This made Xin Yukun feel confused.

"Reba, why are you looking at me like that? I owe you money?"

Facing Xin Yukun's doubts, Reba snorted coldly: "Brother Kun, you're a traitor. We agreed to protect Sister Tiantian together, but you turned against us and even joined Sister Cha's side? I really misjudged you!"

Brother Kun knew that Gao Yuanyuan was a green tea girl and liked to be a mistress, but he still clearly supported Gao Yuanyuan to get promoted.

This is simply unreasonable!
Instead of supporting Gao Yuanyuan, you might as well support me!
"Everything in the world is prosperous."

"Reba, you are still a child and cannot see the truth of this world clearly. I don't blame you. When I, Brother Kun, make a lot of money, you will naturally benefit from it."

At this point, Xin Yukun looked at Reba, lowered his voice, and said jokingly, "Besides, President Gao's promotion is not legitimate. In this case, don't you have a chance too?"

If Jing Tian keeps occupying the position, Reba will definitely have no chance.

Miss Jing Tian has money and power. She is also beautiful and has a good figure. She is also very considerate to Lu Zhiyuan.

It is 360 degrees with no blind spots and no shortcomings.

Who can compete with Jing Tian?
However, as Lu Zhiyuan's good brother, Xin Yukun was very worried that Miss Jing Tian would get tired of playing around and start looking at Lu Zhiyuan in a rude manner.

Then Lu Zhiyuan would be in trouble.

As a good brother, Xin Yukun really doesn't want to see Lu Zhiyuan become so pitiful one day.

It’s different if you look for Gao Yuanyuan.

If you want to hit someone, hit them; if you want to scold them, scold them; when you are unhappy, you can even bring up the other person’s past!
Keep the other party speechless.

Lu Zhiyuan's family status is absolutely high, and Gao Yuanyuan can serve him like an emperor.

Lu Zhiyuan can play as much as he wants outside and can go home without wiping his mouth. Gao Yuanyuan will at most shed tears silently and will never say a harsh word to Lu Zhiyuan.

After all, Gao Yuanyuan herself is the mistress, so what can she say?
Thinking about these days, they are so wonderful and my happiness index has skyrocketed.

"Brother Kun, you always have twisted theories. My brother is not that kind of person. Sister Cha has no chance."

Although Reba complained harshly about Xin Yukun, for some reason, she suddenly felt that what Xin Yukun said made sense.

Grab it from Gao Yuanyuan? That would only take a few minutes.

It's a pity that Sister Cha is not very good and is a complete loser in combat.

Back in her room, Reba began her daily intelligence work.

"Sister-in-law Tiantian, one good news and one bad news."

"The good news is, Cha Jie fell and broke her butt, cracked her tailbone, and will probably need to rest for two months. My brother thinks she's too fragile. In other words, the heroine of "Real Steel" has nothing to do with her. My brother used me as a backup and let me take over."

The movie is called "Real Steel", but the heroine is a fragile one who can break bones if she falls... It's so ominous, a disaster.

Must return!
"The bad news is, Sister Cha isn't the heroine, and neither am I. My brother said he wants to go to my hometown and find a real heroine, someone who's brimming with youthful energy and vitality, and has the aura of a Dunhuang fairy."

"I feel like his old illness has come back."

In order to capture a scene, Lu Zhiyuan asked her to jump directly into the sea before the typhoon came.

Now, in order to shoot this robot movie, Lu Zhiyuan will definitely spend a lot of time and effort to find the heroine in his mind.

Reba was very jealous.

Originally, she thought she was Lu Zhiyuan's only one.

Now it seems that I have become a thing of the past.

Yesterday she was a little cutie, today she is Mrs. Cow.

"Our robot is a good thing."

"Even if Sister Cha tried to seduce him in every way, he remained completely unmoved. His program was incredibly stable and would never have a bug."

"As for finding a heroine, it's nothing."

"We know him. He definitely doesn't have any ideas about the heroine. He just needs to make sure the heroine fits the image in his mind."

"Since we're talking about going to your hometown. Reba, go with him to find it."

What I want is your words.

Sister-in-law Tiantian, you understand my heart so well!

Reba got the official authorization from Jingtian and is very happy now.

"Sister-in-law Tiantian, don't worry. I will definitely keep an eye on my brother and won't let him make any mistakes."

If he's going to make a mistake, let him make it on me first!
I would sacrifice my life to feed the eagle!

Sacrifice yourself to the robot and be his mechanical sacrifice!

Reba was in a very good mood. She put her cell phone on the bedside to charge, then jumped into the bed and hugged the quilt, laughing.

Next month, I can go on my honeymoon again!

Under the Muztagh Ata Peak, the thousand-year-old icebergs witness my love!
Ho Ho Ho ~~~
……

The next morning.

Reba went downstairs happily and asked Xin Yukun with a laugh if Lu Zhiyuan had not gotten up yet and whether he wanted her to help him get up.

Xin Yukun glanced at Reba and couldn't help but grinning: "He went out a long time ago. He made an appointment with Liu Yifei to go to the 798 Art Center to see the art exhibition together."

"My brother finally got it."

what?
Make an appointment with Liu Yifei again?
Why is this minotaur still haunting me?
Reba was so angry that she was about to explode. She hurried upstairs to change her clothes and rushed out to settle the score with Liu Yifei.

"Minotaur, if you also have thoughts about my brother, I will see how you die."

Reba couldn't help but feel excited.

This guy Lu Zhiyuan does have some metaphysics in him.

No, it should be said that Jing Tian's fate is indeed quite powerful, specifically designed to restrain love rivals.

Because Sister Cha tried to steal Jing Tian's girl, she broke her butt and it took two months to recover.

Sister Xiao Ai was still determined that day. She secretly asked Lu Zhiyuan out for dinner without telling him, and even bought him his favorite mango milk tea, hoping to win his favor.

As a result, after she came back, she had diarrhea for a week and almost went crazy.

These two people are a lesson for us.

Reba wanted to see, if Liu Yifei showed some improper thoughts, would something that could not be explained by science happen?

Seeing Reba leave in a hurry, Xin Yukun put down the account book in his hand and stretched.

"My brother has a lot of luck with women, but he remains calm and composed. He's truly remarkable."

Xin Yukun also wanted to see when Lu Zhiyuan would break his vow.

As long as Lu Zhiyuan breaks the rules, the two brothers will then play all over the entertainment industry, from China to the United States, from the United States to Japan, and from Japan to Brazil.

Thinking about this beautiful day, it’s simply invincible.

How do you say you can have so much fun?
This is not simple!
In addition to the important scene of Dunhuang, "Real Steel" also chose a scene in Tokyo, Japan, and picked two beautiful Japanese female models to play supporting roles.

Do you think we can play?

As for Brazil, is this even a question?

This country, apart from football, is full of world-class supermodels.

Xin Yukun’s favorite movie is the “Fast and Furious” series. Apart from the roar of the engines, it’s full of hot girls in bikinis.

Now, the brothers also have the opportunity to make this kind of movie!
Of course you have to have a good time!
……

798 Art Center.

Liu Yifei's face looked a little bad, she seemed very tired, her eyes were not as clear as before, and she showed a hint of disgust towards the world.

It's a bit like a precursor to a depressive episode.

However, she got up early today and dressed up. She was still as pure as an angel. When she smiled, she would deliberately use her little hands to cover her exposed teeth.

"Zhiyuan, long time no see. You are still the same as before, with such clear eyes and such a firm gaze. You are still the same you in my memory."

Liu Yifei knows that she has played many classic female roles and may be the white moonlight of many people.

However, Bai Yueguang also has her own Bai Yueguang.

Today, her handsome and artistic Bai Yueguang came to play with her again.

"Zhiyuan, I heard you started researching robots. I saw a video online of your company's mechanical dog. Is it really that fun?"

Only when she is with Lu Zhiyuan will Liu Yifei act like a child, asking all kinds of questions and not caring at all whether the other party will think she is childish.

She doesn't care whether she will destroy her goddess image.

"The robotic dog in that video online was specially tuned by us to appear very intelligent. The mass-produced version will most likely not reach that level of intelligence."

Lu Zhiyuan first gave a brief explanation, then seemed to realize something and made a promise.

"When the product is actually put into mass production, I will give you a top-level customized model. You can give it a name, set its birthday, and even set its personality, such as enthusiastic or clingy."

so smart?

When Liu Yifei heard this, her eyes suddenly became bright.

The mechanical dog seems quite interesting.

"The current AI level isn't very good. The chip's computing power limits the robot dog's intelligence, so we can only adjust a few personalities. Once the chip's computing power reaches a certain level, the robot dog's personality and behavior will be as intelligent as a human."

"It can even feel your emotions."

At this level, if 100 mechanical dogs were sent out to fight, they would probably be able to identify each other as enemy and friendly camps, and could truly be used as mercenaries.

His company has become a veritable arms company.

However, I won’t talk about this topic with Liu Yifei.

Girls are most likely not interested.

"Then I'll be waiting for you, don't forget."

Liu Yifei looked at Lu Zhiyuan with a smile.

The gifts this guy gave were indeed different from those given by other men.

He actually gave himself a mechanical dog.

Considering his personality, he is as cold and elegant as a robot.

It's an inexplicable sense of joy.

"By the way, Zhiyuan, why did you think of asking me to go to the art exhibition together today? Where is your girlfriend?" Liu Yifei asked in pretended confusion.

In fact, she was still quite happy in her heart.

She has few friends and is a rather introverted person. Especially in the past two years, the internet has been full of people criticizing her, and many of her friends are afraid to get too close to her.

Except for Lisa, who is an outsider.

However, the rich lady Lisa is carefree and has more money than she can spend at home.

She doesn't have such luck and still has to rely on herself.

"Tiantian is filming in Dalian and won't be back until next month. I can't find anyone else to go to the art exhibition with me."

Lu Zhiyuan told the truth.

He can find someone to accompany him to the art exhibition, such as Brother Kun and Reba.

But the problem is that others don't understand what he is talking about.

It's boring to play the lute to a cow, okay?
"I understand. Like me, you are also a lonely person."

Liu Yifei nodded slightly, looking at Lu Zhiyuan as if she was looking at a fellow human being, revealing a hint of inexplicable emotion, a sense of empathy.

When she turned around, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Look how arrogant you were before. The first time we met, you complained that I had an empty brain and no artistic talent.

Now look around you, and in the end, you will find that I understand you best!

"Student Lu Zhiyuan, please lead the way."

"Today, I will let you experience my artistic accomplishments."

Liu Yifei's heart had been filled with dark clouds for a month, but today she finally felt what sunshine was and why the rainbow after the rain was the most beautiful.

……

20 minutes later.

Lu Zhiyuan and Liu Yifei walked around and finally found what Lu Zhiyuan wanted.

“Salvador Dalí?”

"You dragged me around for a long time today. Were you looking for his paintings?"

Lu Zhiyuan took Liu Yifei and stood in front of a painting called "The Persistence of Memory".

[Salvador Dali] This painter used the technique of miniature painting to depict a wilderness that was as quiet as death.

Of course, the painting displayed at the 798 Art Center is a replica. The real work is housed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

"Yeah, I'm looking for him."

“The master of surrealism, the fusion of absurd mechanical elements and natural landscapes, I hope to find a balance between the two.”

Lu Zhiyuan briefly told Liu Yifei that after filming "Upgrade", he fell deeply in love with the mechanical beauty.

That kind of cyber future world.

Regarding the new film, he wants to shoot a picture.

Under the Muztagh Ata Peak.

The thousand-year-old iceberg slowly cracked, and a mechanical arm broke through the ice and snow, flashing with a cold mechanical luster under the morning sun.

After being sealed for countless years, it broke the seal again and appeared in the world.

This shot must be taken through dewdrops to maximize the dreamlike and surreal feeling.

“The image I want to capture must have the sun rising, with light shining through, creating a sense of color and fantasy.”

"I hope that by changing the light, I can give that cold mechanical warrior a restrained breath of life."

Lu Zhiyuan briefly mentioned his idea to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei was confused.

The eyes that were originally slightly melancholy now turned back into a chaotic state, and then gradually became clear.

Restored the Minotaur state.

The changes in her eyes were like a bottle of muddy water that was shaken violently and then found a quiet corner to remain still for a long time.

Now, the mud and sand have settled again, and the water in the bottle has become clear again.

With a clear gaze like a minotaur, Liu Yifei turned her head and looked at Lu Zhiyuan silently without saying a word.

I just watched like this for a long time.

It wasn't until Lu Zhiyuan noticed something unusual and turned to look over with a hint of confusion.

Liu Yifei then cleared her throat, pretending to understand Lu Zhiyuan's meaning, and asked back, "Why do you do this? Giving mechanical warriors life? Is this the theme of your movie?"

"No."

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled. "That's a strange question. I just told you that I started a technology company and plan to sell robots."

"Weren't you just excited because the robot dog, like a real life being, possesses all kinds of perceptions, even emotions?"

"Through the movie, I let the world know that my mechanical dog also has that sense of life. What a great advertisement!"

"Don't you think that after the movie was released, those people suddenly realized that there really is a company in the world that is making robots with a sense of life?"

"If it were you, would you be happy? Would you be excited? Even if you can't afford it now, our company's products will get better and better in the future. When you grow up and have money, wouldn't you want to own a robot dog?"

I was despised by him again!

I feel like the way he looks at me is as if he is caring for a mentally retarded person!
Liu Yifei felt some resentment in her heart.

She exhaled lightly and said slowly, "Since you already have an idea, and it sounds good, why did you come to me for advice?"

Are you trying to humiliate me?

Just say it! We can still be friends!
"I just think that this image doesn't necessarily need to be shot with the sun rising. Perhaps, would it be better to shoot under the stars?"

“That feeling of loneliness under the stars, a sense of watching over the world.”

"Close your eyes and imagine the Milky Way's starlight shining down on the cold snow-capped mountains. Through the protagonist's dreams, you often see a mechanical arm slowly extending out. Doesn't it give you a stronger sense of fate? It's just like the oracle in 'Oedipus Rex.'"

Realizing that Liu Yifei might not understand that sense of fate, Lu Zhiyuan explained a few more words.

"Because, next, I'm going to make a Super Robot vs. Monsters movie. This sense of destiny can carry over to the next movie, giving the entire robot world a complete worldview and history."

"I've even thought of an Easter egg. Inside Muztagh Ata, there's a huge space. When this small war robot is dug out, a super-sized [Mecha Hunter] inside will open its eyes."

"And the reason the various characters in the movie 'Real Steel' are so obsessed with robot tournaments, even sparking a worldwide frenzy, is because the top few contestants in the world tour will qualify to become pilots of the 'Mech Hunter' and become heroes who save humanity!"

Real Steel is just little fighting robots.

The super robot that appears in "Pacific Rim", [Mech Hunter], this thing determines the fate of mankind.

The former ranked among the top few in the world in the competition and became a substitute player, the seed and hope of mankind, entering the world of "Pacific Rim" and becoming a pilot of "Mech Hunter".

Let the two movies merge in terms of world view.

From a film perspective, the benefits of doing so are obvious.

Without destroying the original plot, the background of the entire robot world is worth exploring in depth, forming a complete history.

There is a war between humans and robots.

There is a planetary war against alien apostles, which concerns the survival of human civilization.

Robot competitions are no longer simply entertainment activities, but have been endowed with a deeper sense of destiny that even concerns the survival of human civilization.

As for the winners of this competition, after winning the game, they will also be given a powerful and invincible channel for advancement.

Become the savior of mankind!

Super hero!

Who can resist such temptation?

For passionate young people, becoming a hero, saving the world, and being a great person is something that almost every anime will portray.

In Lu Zhiyuan's setting, "Real Steel" is equivalent to the predecessor of "Pacific Rim", which improves and enriches the history and background of the entire robot world.

The movie "Upgrade" will become a myth like Jesus Christ for this robot world.

It is a prehistoric chronicle.

"Sister Fei, do you think my idea is interesting?"

Movies are made for ordinary people. It is meaningless for Lu Zhiyuan to entertain himself alone.

All he can do is to make the setting as perfect as possible, make the story more realistic, make everything traceable, and make the pictures more exquisite and shocking.

"Yeah. Very interesting."

"You must finish filming it as soon as possible and show me the world in your mind in its entirety. I can't wait."

"When you're filming this scene, please let me know early. It's another world-famous painting. I'm looking forward to witnessing it with my own eyes."

This time we must go earlier, otherwise, Reba will become a mountain in Altay and block us.

Liu Yifei was looking forward to it.

At this moment, she didn't even dare to look at Lu Zhiyuan.

When he said these things, his eyes were so burning, and he looked so serious and persistent, which was really handsome.

Inexplicably, she found herself feeling a little moved.

I no longer want to just be friends with Lu Zhiyuan.

Mom, can you tell me how to distinguish between love and friendship?

Liu Yifei murmured in her heart.

She knew she couldn't possibly ask that question.

Just thinking about Jing Tian being freely held in the arms of this man, she felt so jealous.

God, you don’t love me anymore!

……

not far away.

Reba silently watched how the two of them interacted with each other.

"Sister Niu is still very restrained. The fire in her eyes is about to burn, but she still turns her head away."

"If it was Sister Cha, she would probably pounce on him right now."

Reba is very clear about how attractive the serious Lu Zhiyuan, his stubborn aura, and his paranoid artistic temperament are.

Anyway, it's a deadly poison to her.

Liu Yifei was able to withstand this poison and suppress her inner desires. She is indeed a person of strong character.

This woman should not be underestimated!
Taking a deep breath to clear away the chaotic emotions in her heart, Reba pushed the door open and walked in.

"A mountain has arrived in Altay."

Seeing Reba appear, Liu Yifei couldn't help but let out a breath and muttered something in a low voice.

"What? Tarzan?"

Lu Zhiyuan didn’t quite hear it clearly, and when he turned around and saw Reba, he became even more confused.

Liu Yifei gave Reba a nickname, Taishan?
Tarzan?

Or what does it mean?
