Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 301 The Curtain Opens
Halle Berry agreed to star in the film without hesitation after reading the script.

After confirming several actors, the cast of Tang De's film also appears to be exceptionally luxurious. It can be said that just by releasing the name, a large number of fans will go to the cinema to watch the film.

And the production cost of this film has also been finalized, which is 1 million US dollars. In addition to the high cost of actors, there are also considerable costs for set construction, blasting, and filming in multiple countries.

It was indeed beyond everyone's expectation that a crime film would cost so much, but Tang De directly finalized the film without giving others room for doubt.

Now that the filming has been confirmed, the next thing to do is preparation.

However, Tang De did not focus on this movie, but handed everything over to the producer, because his current focus is on "Lucy: War of the Veil".

This movie will soon be released in major theaters and premiere simultaneously around the world.

This is undoubtedly a big event, and for this reason, Norton's Eye has also launched various lottery activities to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.

At the same time, information about "Lucy" can be seen in squares, subway stations, building advertisements, and billboards. Coupled with word of mouth among fans, it can be said that there is almost no one in America who doesn't know about this movie.

Therefore, a week before the premiere, Mirren and Judy bought two reservation tickets, fearing that they would not be able to get them.

The ticketing website was paralyzed again after the first wave of ticket rush, replicating the situation before the second film was released.

On the day of the premiere, Mirren and Judy drove to the cinema early and waited in the lobby. He also met the brother he had met in the cinema before.

"Vincent!"

"Hi, Mirren!" Vincent was also very happy to see Mirren. Although they had not met after the movie, they had been chatting online. Because of his love for "Lucy", Vincent was also very interested in Tang De's past.

So Vincent competently acted as a science popularizer, introducing to Vincent the works that Tang De had shot before, as well as the works that were not shot by him but were also his responsibility.

Only then did Vincent know that Tang De had made music videos before filming movies, and he shot them so well.

For this purpose, he even specially released a video to review the MVs that Tang De had been responsible for.

Now that the two met again, they immediately began to discuss many speculations about the movie.

"I think he is the villain. He is the one who blocked the earth. As for the reason, maybe he wants to use the earth as a sacrifice."

After Mirren finished speaking, Vincent retorted: "I don't think it's necessarily a sacrifice. Maybe He is the ruler of another planet. They use the Earth as an experimental subject and intend to observe the development of the Earth, just like Bottle China."

This is the most mainstream speculation at present. In fact, in order to maintain the suspense of "Lucy: War of the Veil", the comics did not reveal the answer, so comic fans and movie fans are very curious about what the answer is.

And since the movie version was released before the comic version, many comic fans who were eager to know the answer had to buy tickets to watch it.

As the two of them were discussing, time gradually approached midnight.

"Ticket checking begins in Hall 6."

After hearing the sound, everyone immediately lined up in front of the ticket counter and walked into the theater along the corridor in an orderly manner.

When Mirren and the others finally sat down on the soft sofa, their hearts, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down and a sense of anticipation arose spontaneously.

Only at this moment did he feel that he was about to watch Lucy: Veil War. "Let me see how exciting this movie is!"

Not long after, the lights in the hall dimmed and the Norton's Eye logo animation appeared on the screen.

After all the logo images ended, a globe suddenly appeared on the screen, accompanied by Professor Norman's narration.

"The curtain appeared when 99 percent of the Earth was ocean."

"According to our current investigation results and the research on the things Lucy brought, the curtain appeared at the same time in different places on Earth. Although we don't know the principle of their appearance, the mastermind behind it is obviously a force outside the Earth, or the "He" you mentioned."

"The function of the curtain is to separate the earth from the universe, and the curtain seems to have spatial properties. It contains a vast universe of considerable size. This is why human spacecraft have not found alien planets."

"And if we want to destroy the curtain completely, we need to use special means." Professor Norman looked at everyone and said, "By testing the soil provided by Lucy, we found its weakness, which is something you are familiar with."

"CPH4?" Victor was smart and guessed the answer immediately.

"On the contrary." Professor Norman said, "We extracted a substance that is completely opposite to CPH4. I named it 4HPC. We only need this substance to completely eliminate all active factors in the soil."

"Your naming is quite humorous." Pierre sighed, and then asked, "So what are the locations of the curtain?"

"New York, Chongqing, Iceland..." Lucy already knew the answer and said it out loud.

Then they decided to go to different locations and use 4HPC to destroy the curtain and make the fake galaxy disappear.

However, while the few people were taking action, Arasaka Heavy Industries was not idle either. They found military technology and used super power potions as bargaining chips to exchange for cooperation.

The reason why Arasaka Heavy Industries is relentless in pursuing Lucie and others is not only because they destroyed the laboratory and killed Adam Sledgehammer, but also because they found out the identity of Lucie Lucy.

They were very interested in Lucy's super powers and wanted to get her for experiments.

Therefore, after reaching a cooperation with Military Technology, they immediately launched a hunt for Chaotic and others.

During this process, the movie also explains a setting, that is, Lucy the Lucy is the key for Rean and others to travel to the present world. If something unexpected happens to the Lucy, Rean and others' abilities and existence will also be affected.

For this reason, the body of the super body, the black human computer, is the top priority for protection.

Fortunately, Lucy had foreseen this situation in advance, so she hid it deep underground in a very secret place.

However, when they were heading to other countries, Arasaka Heavy Industries stopped them and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

During the battle, the entire airport was surrounded by Arasaka Heavy Industries' artillery fire. A large number of soldiers, planes, and armored vehicles poured towards them, even alarming the federal government.

The battle ended in a loss for both sides. Rean was seriously injured and had to stay in Professor Norman's base.

In order to avoid being discovered by Arasaka Heavy Industries, the others split into several groups and headed for the city where the Curtain Anchor was located.
