Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 759 Edge of Tomorrow
On February 2, Chen Hao convened the entire crew to read the script.

The new film "Edge of Tomorrow" is still a sci-fi film, but with more elements of action and light comedy.

The story tells that in the future world, the earth is in a panic of alien invasion, and the military speaker Major Liu Qi (Liu Ye) is afraid to go to the battlefield.

He originally wanted to stay in the base camp honestly after completing his mobilization work, but he didn't want the general (Chen Daoming) to directly ask him to go to the forefront of the war to participate in the battle, Liu Qi resolutely refused.

As a result, the general raped him and threw him into the barracks as a deserter. He tried every means to escape the fate of going to the battlefield, but all ended in failure.

Liu Qi was finally included in the assault squad to fight, and died tragically on the battlefield on the first day of the battle, but what he didn't expect was that this death gave him the ability to cycle time and space.

Because of this, he knew that this battle was an ambush set up by aliens, and the human army was wiped out, so he wanted to tell others about it, but no one believed him. After all, the ability of time and space cycle sounds like Neuropathy!

But there is one exception. The only person who believes in him is Zhao Li (Kate Beckinsale), who is known as the "Full Metal Warrior". Because she once had such abilities, she finally became a "Full Metal Warrior".

So, the two started a space-time cycle battle. While training Liu Qi, they also discovered the mystery of time control, which is related to the alien's "mastermind" Omega.

But the only way to win is to let Liu Qi keep dying, keep restarting time, and continue to advance after getting familiar with the plot.

While repeating the battle of the day of landing, they are getting closer and closer to success, but they also have inexplicable feelings for each other.

But Liu Qi found that no matter how he fought, the final result would be Zhao Li's death!
All of a sudden, Liu Qi fell into a dilemma between victory in the war and Zhao Li's life and death.

……

"Hello, Director Chen!" Liu Ye shouted a little excitedly.

Being able to star in Chen Hao's new film keeps him in a state of excitement, and the film will start soon, so he can't hide his excitement.

Chen Hao looked at Liu Ye's physical condition, and nodded secretly, "The physical condition is good, keep it up!"

"Don't worry, I have been exercising this year!" Liu Ye laughed.

Then, Kate Beckinsale appeared, and the eyes of the audience were attracted by it.

In addition to Kate's beautiful figure, but also because she is the only foreign actor in the whole crew.

"Hi, Chen!" Kate laughed, and then said a few more words to everyone.

"Hi!" After Chen Hao responded, he translated what Kate said for everyone.

"Director Chen!" Wu Jing walked over with some embarrassment.

Ever since he messed up "Spike Fang", Wu Jing felt ashamed to see Chen Hao, but she didn't expect that Chen Hao's new film would invite him to participate in this time.

After thinking about it, Wu Jing still came. After all, after deciding to return to the mainland, he needs to reintegrate into the entertainment industry in the mainland, and participating in Chen Hao's movie, even if it's just a sideshow, is undoubtedly a good start.

In addition, Wu Jing also had the intention of being a cow and a horse, and if he cheated Chen Hao of a sum of money, he would work hard to repay it.

And being able to do chores in Chen Hao's crew is also a kind of learning for him. After all, although the first movie hit the street, Wu Jing's mind to be a director has not stopped.

Therefore, even if it is a small supporting role, Wu Jing is still very active.

"Okay, there's no way to make money from making a movie." Chen Hao looked at Wu Jing and smiled, "With the experience of failure, you can do better next time."

Wu Jing nodded when she heard the words, but just looked at Chen Hao and felt that this sentence was a bit wrong, didn't you just never fail before!

Afterwards, Chen Hao led all the main creators of the crew to start the script reading.

Until noon, after lunch, I read it twice before disbanding.

After finishing the reading, Chen Hao went to find Chang Hongsong again.

In fact, Chang Hongsong is now slowly turning to management, and the special effects production is gradually no longer involved, but because it is Chen Hao's new film, so this time Chang Hongsong is still in charge.

"How is the production of the exoskeleton?" Chen Hao asked.

In "Edge of Tomorrow", the most important set of props is undoubtedly the exoskeleton mecha that soldiers use to fight aliens.

The exoskeleton mecha is different from the power armor. One of the important reasons is its highly modular main frame.

The exoskeleton mecha has a relatively balanced treatment among flexibility, weapons and ammunition carried, and defense power, focusing on protecting the torso, forearm, and legs, which are more important for combat.

This concept comes from the cuirassiers of the queuing gun era, who only protected some of the main torso in order to increase flexibility.

With such a design, in fact, if you are hit by other body parts while fighting aliens, you will still suffer serious injuries, but for the sake of flexibility and plot needs, it can only be designed in this way.

In addition, the soldiers wearing exoskeleton mechs in the film are airdropped into the battlefield from a transport plane, similar to paratroopers, without armored vehicles and artillery support, and more emphasis is placed on individual combat capabilities.

In addition, the distance of firefighting with alien tentacle monsters within 200 meters has already determined the principle of exoskeleton carrying firearms: the more guns and ammunition you carry, the better, and the more violent the firepower within the same time period, the better.

"Here is the sample." Chang Hongsong led Chen Hao into a room and said.

There are three sets of exoskeleton mechs in the room, all of which have been completed samples.

"The weapon style is based on the top-level equipment of the same type in our country, and at the same time, some more aggressive designs have been added to make them look more lethal and futuristic." Chang Hongsong pointed at the machine Armored weapons.

Chen Hao nodded upon hearing this.

"The weapons on the back mechanical arm can be used for non-direct aiming and curved shooting. When using them, the free movement of the hands will not be affected. The weapons on both arms use magazines, but the process of changing magazines is automatic. It is bound on the rotorcraft as a turret. Sometimes use ammunition belt to feed ammunition.

Spare ammo, pistol like PD and grenades are stored inside the tactical vest and leg sleeves worn inside. "Chang Hongsong introduced.

"These two sets are somewhat different from the standard suits. One set has no weapon racks for both hands and matching firearms, and the legs have fewer armor plates than the standard ones. The other set is a bit thicker, with larger machine guns and artillery."

The first set is the one worn by the heroine. She uses a chopping knife, which requires greater flexibility, so there are fewer defensive designs.

Another set of thick mechs provides heavy fire support. These exoskeleton soldiers are in groups of 8, and each team is equipped with a heavy weapon hand.

The price of thick armored cannons is slow movement. In the movie, the first teammate who received a lunch was wearing this heavy armor suit and did not escape after a successful airborne, but was smashed alive by the downed rotorcraft.

"Have Liu Ye and others tried these mechs?" Chen Hao asked.

"I have tried them all, including Kate Beckinsale yesterday afternoon, and we have made some fine-tuning, and now they can move freely when they are worn." Chang Hongsong said.

After Chen Hao watched the exoskeleton mecha, he looked at other props.

The art director of the film is Hao Yi. After working with Chen Hao many times, Hao Yi still knows Chen Hao's preferences very well, and the things he made also meet Chen Hao's requirements.

Only with a good art director can the crew become a whole, and photography, lighting, art, props, makeup, etc. can all be more coordinated and unified.

……

After work, Chen Hao, as the host, kindly invited Kate Beckinsale to dinner.

Kate Beckinsale happily went.

"Try the roast duck, it's the most famous delicacy in the imperial capital." Chen Hao said.

"I heard about it before I came to the Imperial Capital." Kate Beckinsale said, "It looks very attractive."

Kate Beckinsale took a sip and nodded, "Well, nice! It's just a bit too oily."

"It's okay, your figure is so good, eating it once in a while won't affect your devilish figure." Chen Hao laughed.

Kate Beckinsale said with a smile, "Thank you!"

"There are also these baked scallops with cheese, pearl cod, shredded beef, curry crispy prawns, emerald milk cup, glutinous rice cakes, duck-flavored mille-feuille cakes, boiled okra, and mahjong gourd shreds." Chen Hao introduced.

"OK." Kate Beckinsale nodded.

"Would you like some red wine?" Chen Hao asked.

Kate Beckinsale heard the words, glanced at Chen Hao, and then nodded.

Chen Hao smiled when he saw this, and asked someone to open a bottle of 82-year-old Sprite!

After eating a bit, Kate Beckinsale looked at Chen Hao and said, "I'm actually surprised that you will ask me to play the leading role."

Chen Hao said with a smile, "Because I have seen your "Underworld", which is very impressive, and I can't forget it at all, and your "Pearl Harbor" and "Van Helsing" have been screened in the mainland, and you have many fans.

By the way, I am also one of your fans. "

Well, fans of beauty, fans of flesh!

"Really?" Kate Beckinsale was surprised when she heard the words, "I didn't expect..."

"Of course, after all, you are truly unforgettable!" Chen Hao nodded.

Kate Beckinsale smiled when she heard the words, stared at Chen Hao for a while, and then said, "Will you return to the United States to shoot a new film at the end of the year?"

Chen Hao glanced at Kate Beckinsale and said, "Yes, this time I will cooperate with Universal Pictures."

Kate Beckinsale's eyes flashed when she heard the words, "Can you tell me what kind of film it is?"

Chen Hao shook his head after hearing this, and Kate Beckinsale was disappointed when she saw this.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not that I didn't tell you, but the script hasn't been finalized yet!" Chen Hao said, "I was originally interested in a series by Universal, but they are still considering whether to restart this series."

"Another series?" Kate Beckinsale said, "You have restarted 20th Century Fox's "Planet of the Apes" series before!"

"That's right, but it hasn't been released yet, so maybe Universal still doesn't believe me." Chen Hao shrugged.

"Can you tell me which movie series it is?" Kate Beckinsale wondered.

With Chen Hao's current achievements, are there any series of movies that he can't restart?

""Jurassic Park"!" Chen Hao replied directly.

Kate Beckinsale was stunned when she heard the words, it turned out to be this famous dinosaur series that swept the world!

I believe that anyone who has watched "Jurassic Park" for the first time will be shocked. After all, it was 1993, and the global box office was close to 10 billion US dollars!

When Chen Hao watched "Jurassic Park" for the first time, he was stunned by its amazing special effects. After all, dinosaurs are so realistic!
At the same time, Chen Hao was deeply impressed by this movie, and was still influenced by Hong Kong entertainment novels.

It was this super blockbuster that opened up Xiangjiang and the Asian film market, allowing Hollywood films to truly challenge Eastern Hollywood's hegemony in the Asian film market.

When the Taiwan film market collapsed, Xiangjiang Films was hard to come back due to multiple reasons, plummeted, and continued to decline.
However, this series is undoubtedly a super-grossing movie series, involving billions of dollars in interests, so even if the last "Jurassic Park 3" was released in 2001, it has been 8 years since then.

However, if Universal wants to restart, it must be very cautious, so it did not immediately agree to Chen Hao's request.

And from the other scripts sent by Universal for Chen Hao to choose, it can be seen that they are still conservative about restarting "Jurassic Park".

However, Chen Hao was not very interested in the scripts sent by Universal one after another, and he didn't even have a deep impression. How could Chen Hao shoot them?

Isn't this a golden signboard for smashing yourself?

Therefore, the first cooperation between Chen Hao and Universal immediately came to an impasse.

Kate Beckinsale has a quick change of mind. Obviously, she also knows the huge influence of the restart of this series. If she can star in this movie, it will definitely be of great help to her Hollywood stardom.

"I wish you all the best!" Kate Beckinsale raised her glass.

"Thank you!" Chen Hao nodded with a smile, "If I can really restart this series, I must thank you for your blessing tonight."

Kate Beckinsale smiled when she heard this, "Then don't forget tonight."

Hearing this, Chen Hao nodded with a smile.

After a meal, Kate Beckinsale seemed to be drunk, and it was Chen Hao who helped her back to the hotel in the end.

Sitting in the car, Chen Hao embraced Kate Beckinsale's slender waist, smelling the beauty's fragrance, and then looking at this exquisite face that is both classic and modern, Chen Hao, who drank some wine, jumped All of a sudden the fire started.

Suppressing his heartbeat, Chen Hao helped Kate into the hotel room, Chen Hao helped her to the bed, and when Kate lay down on the bed, she still held Chen Hao's neck, and Chen Hao was also directly brought down on the bed.

In an instant, Chen Hao pressed Kate Beckinsale, and Kate also opened her eyes. The two were very close, and their breath could be heard.

Soon, the breathing of the two became heavier, until Kate Beckinsale directly embraced Chen Hao's neck, kissed Chen Hao, and offered fiery red lips.

Chen Hao, who received the attack signal, naturally no longer suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and released it to his heart's content.
