Disaster Artist

Chapter 101 Homecoming

When N meets and communicates with them, there is definitely an element of performance.

The kind of villain who has more money and less brains usually exists in comedy works.

Bai Zhe withdrew his eyes and assessed the other party's credibility.

According to the conversation he heard, N invested in Zhuang Xi in the hope that she would take some crazy measures against Muse.

N didn't want to do it himself, so he lent Grius to them, hoping to use them to do something outrageous.

In other words, the more trouble they cause to Muse, the lower the probability that N will betray them.

As for N’s true motive for targeting Muse, it is currently unclear.

Bai Zhe can think of two possibilities why N likes Zhuang Xi:
It is less likely that N has a discerning eye and judged that she has the potential to become a dance superstar.The other is that N has already investigated the identity of Duoyu and knows that Zhuang Xi is a former employee of Muse.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to take advantage of each other.

"N probably really wants to take advantage of you."

After hearing Bai Zhe's judgment, Zhuang Xi didn't know whether he should feel relieved or worried.

"How did you eavesdrop on them?"

The dancer was curious.There should be something abnormal about Bai Zhe, but she has never seen it.

"I am a substitute messenger, long-distance automatic tracking type, range A."

Zhuang Xi wanted to sprinkle scale powder on his face, but held back.

"Let's go back to Kite Street. We've confirmed with Moya and the others that there aren't many suspicious people left there."

They wandered around outside and avoided the limelight for almost a month, covering most of the border area.

The thugs who swarmed the streets in the beginning are now very few who still have the patience to continue squatting on Kite Street.Most either gave up or dispersed to other areas.

Bai Zhe didn't dare to go back to his small apartment because his address had been exposed.

--------

"How do I feel that you have grown taller?"

Bai Zhe looked Moya up and down, he seemed to be over 1.5 meters tall.Is it internal growth or secondary growth?

Moya lifted up his trouser legs. Brand-new metal patterns spread on the surface of his calves, and there was a layer of tough armor on his shins.

"The loan was used to install the legs, and the inside was padded a few centimeters. The doctor also prescribed growth hormone."

As soon as they met, he noticed that Moya's steps were unsteady, and he thought he was injured, but it turned out that he had a new prosthetic body.

"Take it easy, I don't want you to collapse one day. Why are you prescribing growth hormone?"

"It's too short. Some prosthetic models don't cover the size, so it's troublesome to install."

Bai Zhe was about to speak but stopped.What he wanted to say, Rogge has probably said it many times.

"We have also found a mechanic who can make camouflage shells. Once the camouflage shell is installed, there will be no need to be so secretive."

"I know, I know, Boss Moya."

With the ability to freely use burning fire, and with the assistance of multiple prosthetics, the little man already has the power to defend his home.

"When you come back this time, are you ready for a head-on confrontation?"

"It's almost time, we need to prepare some things. We've been huddled in the basement these days, and we'll come out when we're ready."

Zhuang Xi went to the vacant basement prepared for them first.The dance clothes she chose have been delivered and she needs to try them on to see how they look.

"Where are you planning to perform?"

"We are looking for one now. The rent for an outdoor stage in the city is a bit expensive, but if the location is good, it costs over RMB [-] per day."

"Not as good as"

"I won't disturb the residents of Kite Street anymore."

Before Mo Ya could say anything, Bai Zhe declined.

"You can just run away after the performance. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"It will be discovered when setting up and preparing the stage in the early stage. It's a lot of trouble."

"This is simple. Just say it's my performance in the early stage, and Zhuang Xi will come on stage when the official performance begins."

"You are committing fraud!"

If you play like this, fans will throw grenades.

"I played the drums for the accompaniment, so it's not a scam. Damn it, I push you every day, I push you every day, how can I write a new song so fast." Moya said this, and Bai Zhe didn't continue to refuse.

"Thanks."

"It's nothing. If Kite Street encounters trouble one day, you can come back and help us."

"You are so good at fighting now, I feel like I have no chance."

"It's good to know, then call the boss and listen."

"Little dwarf."

Moya slapped the table, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

When they returned the old car that had been with them for a month, they felt a little reluctant to part with it.

After looking at it for a long time, even the small yellow advertisement printed on the car became more pleasing to the eye, and the brown and yellow color scheme became less suspicious.

Bai Zhe transferred the car rental fee to Rogge, and the car dealer rounded up the fee and charged them five thousand.

"Ask me, how much does this car cost?"

"Let me ask. Forty-two thousand."

"That's it."

Goodbye, old shabby car.

Dance costumes and dozens of cans of photosensitive paint have been neatly arranged in the basement.

There was no problem after Zhuang Xi tried it on, and after confirming receipt of the goods, he got several thousand credit points.

There were only a few hundred yuan left in her bearer account, and Bai Zhe's small coffers had shrunk by almost half.

The funds previously earned from "Rust" and the defeat of the Marano family were not very practical to spend.

In order to save costs, they plan to modify the dance clothes themselves.

Zhuang Xi had taught herself a little needlework, and she was responsible for the cutting and trimming work.

As for how to color, Bai Zhe decided to be lazy and directly paste the pictures.

He extracted images from Ashinma's dream material, cut out the screen-dyed pictures, printed them out, and layered them on the dance clothes as color templates.

Zhuang Xi is very satisfied with the color matching and the restoration is very high, just like copying and pasting.

The two hung up their dance clothes and brought in two fans.Mix photosensitive paint powder with a small amount of water and start coloring the clothes.

Ashinma's silk screens are too rich in color, so they can only try to choose dyes with similar colors.After each area is painted, use a fan to dry it before painting the next area.

They painted with great care, after all, one wrong painting could cost thousands more.

After half a day, the hand-painted Moth Dance Costume was completed.

Before the clothes were completely dry, they used infrared lights to shine on the fabric to see the discoloration effect.The actual product was even better than they expected.

Under the illumination of light, the white dance clothes gradually change into complex and chaotic colors, like moth wings stretching out from the cocoon.

After turning off the lights, the dance clothes faded back to their original appearance, white with gray.

There are no downsides except that it smells really bad.

They put their dance clothes in a dark corner, turned on the fan, and opened the vents as high as possible to let the smell disperse.

Photosensitive paint has a limited number of discoloration effects, and the pigment will be completely oxidized after repeated use.The next time it blooms with color will be when Zhuang Xi takes the stage.

Once you have your costume ready, the next step is to experiment with stage effects.

To achieve the design effect, Bai Zhe needs a large amount of stereoscopic projection equipment, which may have to be rented from multiple audio and video supply stores.

The projection materials need to be recorded in advance, and he has recently learned the relevant techniques through online courses, and he is selling them now.

"During live performances, they can be broadcast simultaneously on Red Flash. But the scale is still a bit small."

The commission requires 100 points of communication, and the bigger the array for the first performance, the better.

"Try it out first, and then expand it if the response is good?"

Zhuang Xi felt that Bai Zhe was more confident than herself and seemed not worried about the failure of the debut at all.

"It's not easy to prepare until now. It's a big one. I want to rent a giant electronic screen, so I'll rent it here. It's opposite the Muse Media building."

What a bad idea.She was moved.

　I've been suffering from insomnia recently and am feeling down, but I can't fall asleep. It's true that my crotch is stretched.I'm going to wash the dishes and finish Chapter 2.
