I, the traveler, will guide me directly in the Mi Universe.

Under the urging of the screener, Pera quickly found the phone number of the program group that Siluwa participated in and contacted her. However, after hearing Pera's invitation, the other party directly said that the program group needed to contact him before broadcasting. He refused on the grounds that the player's situation was kept confidential, which caught Pera off guard.

After hanging up the phone with an ugly expression, Pera informed Ying of the results.

Ying was a little surprised when he heard this: "It shouldn't be. Could it be that the other party dislikes that we are just a web drama crew? However, shouldn't the contestants in this kind of program have the higher the exposure? Don't want the free popularity?"

Pera also felt a little strange when she heard this. She recalled the details of the call just now, and then frowned and said: "Director, I also feel something is wrong when you say that. On the phone just now, I just said that I wanted to invite the program team Contestant Sylva sang the theme song for our new drama without saying what kind of drama we were. The other party refused directly without any inquiry. In other words, they didn’t even know whether our drama was a TV series, an online series or a movie. I don’t know. This situation is like..."

Zhang Eden is a little curious

"It's like their rejection was just because they didn't want Siluwa to be exposed."

Ying was speechless for a moment, then patted Pera on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "It seems that your best friend was targeted this time."

Pella's face suddenly turned ugly when she heard this.

But when I think about my best friend's donkey temper, I understand that that guy is actually not very suitable for entering this circle.

Is this not?

He hasn’t even debuted yet, so he doesn’t know which gods he has offended.

Shaking her head slightly and temporarily forgetting about Sylva, Pella looked at Ying with a somewhat anxious tone: "Then what should we do now?"

Ying shrugged and said, "What can I do? Record the other music first. You can pay more attention over there and see if there are any singers available in the company with suitable voices. If that doesn't work... I'll do it myself!" "

Ying definitely didn't want her to be on the show. It wasn't that she couldn't sing or didn't like singing, it was simply because the song didn't match her voice.

Although she could also sing at the top of her voice, the effect would not be that good.

In this way, the whole morning passed and I recorded several pieces of background music, but I still couldn't find a suitable person to sing the theme song.

Distraught, Ying walked out of the recording studio and stood outside in a daze, thinking about whether to contact Mei Yi or Youlandel, feeling that they should be able to master this song.

As she was thinking about things with her eyes vacant, Ying suddenly heard the familiar sound of high heels approaching, and then she was lightly tapped on her shoulder.

She looked up in confusion. After seeing the appearance of the person clearly, Ying said in shock: "Sister Eden?"

Hearing Ying address him, Eden raised his eyebrows slightly.

In fact, she doesn't like people calling her 'sister' very much, because it makes her seem very old-fashioned, and many people in the industry call her that, which also has a flattering connotation, which makes her a little annoyed.

However, Eden could feel that Ying's words were blurted out subconsciously.

After all, the other party's previous appearance of being troubled by something cannot be faked.

In addition, Ying was indeed much younger than her, so Eden did not correct the other party's address to him and asked: "I'm done with my work over there, where are you Ying?"

"I?"

Ying heard the words and smiled bitterly: "My work here won't be over for a while."

"Have you encountered any difficulties? I see that your assistant seems worried about you?"

Eden pointed at Pera who looked worried in the recording studio.

Ying Wenyan raised her eyes and glanced into the recording studio, and made a reassuring gesture toward Pera. Then she seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Eden beside her. After hesitating for a moment, she asked: "Well, Eden Sister Dian, can I ask you a favor?"

Eden raised his eyebrows, and before she could answer, Tingying continued: "Forget it, I'd better not trouble you, Sister Eden. I'll think of a solution myself."

Saying that, Ying reluctantly showed a smile, said goodbye to Eden, then walked back to the recording studio.

Seeing this, Eden stood there for a while, then looked down at his watch, and found that he still had plenty of time, so he followed Ying closely and walked into the recording studio together.

Even though Ying was a little preoccupied at the moment, she could still hear the footsteps behind her.

She turned around in shock and found that it was indeed Empress Eden, and asked in surprise: "Sister Eden, what are you?"

Eden chuckled lightly and said, "You call me sister. If my sister encounters a problem, then I, as the sister, can't I take care of it?"

As he said that, Eden waved to Pella, who had become stiff due to her appearance. Seeing this, the latter quickly stepped forward, but because of her nervousness, she felt a little uncomfortable even with her hands and feet. Know.

This scene made Eden very funny. She always thought that this girl and her assistant were quite cute. They were very different from the people in the circle that she was used to. They showed that they had just joined the circle and had not yet been tainted by it. The original appearance of various habits.

Eden glanced at the work permit hanging around Pera's neck, and then asked: "Pera, right? Tell me what kind of problem you are encountering."

Although nervous, Pella also knew very well that Eden's appearance here would definitely be a huge opportunity for their current predicament.

The other party is a global superstar. I don’t know how many people in the industry he knows. Isn’t it easy to find a singer suitable for singing their theme song?

So, Perla told them about the dilemma that the singer they had originally arranged to sing with was hospitalized due to damaged vocal cords, but now they couldn't find a suitable singer to sing.

"Is the theme song recording in a hurry?"

Eden looked at Pella and asked.

Pera nodded quickly: "It's urgent. We need to use it for the first promotional video of our web series in two days. This song is both the theme song and the promotional song."

"That's it."

Eden nodded and suddenly understood what he wanted to ask her before.

After thinking about it, Eden said: "Can you tell me the singer's request? I know a lot of singers and can help you connect."

When Eden said this, Pera's eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly told the song's requirements for the singer.

After listening to Pella's request, Eden's brows relaxed slightly.

To be honest, the theme song does not have high requirements for singers. The main reason why Ying and Pera were unable to find a suitable candidate was that they were both newcomers and their connections were too shallow to find a suitable candidate in a short period of time.

But this is not difficult for Eden, it is just a phone call away.

Moreover, Eden actually didn't find it troublesome. They didn't want to have sex for free, but paid for it. When she led the way, she not only sold her a favor, but it was also equivalent to the person who contacted her. A famous singer offers a business deal, which is also a favor, so why not?

However, just when Eden was about to take out his cell phone and contact the singer he knew, Ying, who had been doing something with his head down since the beginning, suddenly said: "Okay!"

When Eden heard this, a trace of curiosity suddenly appeared in his golden pupils: "What has been prepared?"

"Sister Eden, and Pella, come quickly. The special effects of the promotional video have been completed by Anti-Entropy Technology. We just want to take a look at the effect now."

Ying explained, then raised the tablet in his hand to an angle that was convenient for three people to watch, and clicked the play button.

Eden paid attention to the progress bar. The length of the promotional video was 3 minutes, which was not too different from what she thought.

What really concerned her was the keyword 'special effects' mentioned in Yingying's words.

Chapter 7 A different bullet time

Although special effects are currently widely used in the film and television industry, some realistic film and television works also use special effects.

But if we talk about it separately, there are generally only two types of films. One is costume films. Whether it is martial arts, fairy tales or fantasy, they all require the use of various special effects.

The other kind is science fiction and fantasy films.

Because she is in the East, and the director is obviously from the East. As a global superstar, Eden naturally appears in both Eastern and Western films and sings theme songs. She knows very well that in this world, the East and the West have different roles in the film and television industry. Something good.

There is no distinction between good and bad. Eastern special effects films are mostly focused on costume films, while Western special effects films are mostly focused on science fiction films (including fantasy). This difference is only related to their respective cultural atmospheres, and there is no qualitative difference in the overall level of special effects. gap.

Therefore, she subconsciously felt that the film she was shooting was the former kind of costume film.

However, when she got closer to the small flat screen, she realized that she had guessed wrong.

Fortunately, the heights of Eden, Ying, and Pella are almost arranged in a gradient, so when they look at a small screen together, it does not seem too crowded due to the height difference.

The first scene shown in the promotional video was the subway line 3 platform that Eden, a native of Weiming City, is very familiar with. She finally showed a slightly stunned expression.

Because this background means that the web drama filmed by Ying is at least set in a modern city. It cannot be ruled out that it may be about urban immortality, but Eden always has a hunch that this should be science fiction.

The subsequent unfolding of the plot also confirmed Eden's guess.

The camera on the screen began to move around the platform, first giving an aerial panoramic view, and then gradually moving towards the inside of the platform, and finally landed on a girl with white hair and twin tails leaning against a vending machine, holding a vending machine in her hand. Hold a mobile phone and press something on the virtual keyboard.

Then, the camera showed a close-up of the mobile phone screen, which was a chat interface similar to WeChat.

Purple-haired girl's avatar: "Kiana, come back, it's too dangerous for you to be alone."

Avatar of white-haired girl: "I will never look back."

Purple-haired girl's avatar: "Don't be willful anymore~"

Avatar of a white-haired girl: "No~!"

And this last sentence is obviously the reply that the white-haired girl pressed on the virtual keyboard when the camera was shown just now.

After giving the reply, the girl bit off the Pocky cookie in her hand and chewed it into her stomach.

She looked boredly at the platform aside, obviously waiting for the subway to enter the station.

Soon, the phone in her hand vibrated. When she lowered her head, she saw that the avatar of a purple-haired girl had responded——

"There is no way...even if I use force, I will take you back!"

The white-haired girl seemed relieved when she saw this reply, and exhaled with a smile.

The promotional video is quite satisfactory so far, at least not much different from the ordinary urban dramas in Eden's impression.

Perhaps the only thing that made her eyes shine was that although this white-haired girl had a beautiful face that she had never seen before, her performance was very spiritual.

And the conversation on the mobile phone screen also made Eden secretly speculate about the tone of the whole drama. Maybe it is not about the things between urban men and women, but the beautiful and hazy relationship between girls. trip.

But at this moment, the camera suddenly turned, giving the white-haired girl a sideways description. At the same time, a large area of ​​​​the empty background suddenly became blurred and distorted, and turned into a very huge... The head of the mecha.

The appearance of this scene immediately caused Eden's eyes to change slightly.

As far as she knows, there are very few science fiction movies with mechas of this level, even in the Western film and television industry, and they are directly silicon-based creatures (similar to Transformers, the setting is that there are no movies in this world such as Pacific Rim and Various carrots), and the promotional video in front of me, it is not difficult to understand based on the context, this mecha should be driven by the purple-haired girl who had previously communicated with the white-haired girl through Wechat.

A setting where humans pilot giant mechas?

This is very fresh!

The next scene made Eden's pupils shrink even more.

Because, she saw the huge mecha raising its hand to grab the white-haired girl who seemed to be unaware. Just when she was about to catch the person, the white-haired girl activated some kind of device. In an instant, the entire The lenses all used a dark purple filter, and except for the white-haired girl herself, it seemed as if the entire world had been put on pause.

For example, due to the huge impact of the mecha's arm, the vending machine that the white-haired girl was leaning on was directly broken, and various drinks or other foods inside exploded.

When the world paused, the white-haired girl noticed that a can of Coke was spilled beside her, so she smiled lightly and held the Coke can in her hand in the direction of the liquid flowing out. It was like a liquid in a weightless environment in space. The performance was average. In the end, the white-haired girl raised her head and drank all the Coke that was put back into the can. Then she placed the empty Coke bottle directly above the trash can.

The moment the white-haired girl floated away, the pause in the world came to an end. The dark purple filter disappeared, the empty Coke can fell into the trash can, and the attack of the giant mecha finally came down, but in a cloud of dust and After the splash of rubble ended, the mecha realized that its grip was empty.

Turning around, he saw that the white-haired girl was already running away along the platform, making faces.

In fact, the shot of the world just pressing the pause button has been used in movies in the past. It is called bullet time. It mainly uses photography technology to simulate speed changes and can break down high-speed motion into slow motion.

The reason why bullet time got its name is because when this kind of lens was first used, it was used to show the protagonist dodging bullets.

However, it is obvious that the bullet time in this promotional film is very different from the photography technology called bullet time that Eden is familiar with. This is not dismantling high-speed motion into slow motion so that the audience can see reality clearly. All the details of the action that should have happened in one moment.

This is a further new way of using it, which allows one party to freeze time directly, but the other party can move flexibly as usual.

After seeing the promotional video, Eden no longer had any doubts about the urban science fiction theme of this online drama.

The promotional video continued, but Eden's mind was no longer on the promotional video itself.

Although at the end of the promotional video, the white-haired girl who completed the transformation and defeated the giant mecha said "I love you" in German, "Ich liebe Dich" while leaning down to kiss the superstar mecha's head, it still made her quite interesting.

Chapter 8 Eden wants to sing the theme song

In other words, this web drama is not only a rare urban science fiction theme in the East, but also has an even rarer lily element.

This gave Eden, who likes these two themes at the same time, some other thoughts.

It's not like I've even thought about participating in the show.

But right now, isn’t there a cooperation opportunity coming to your doorstep?

Anyway, after watching this promotional video, Eden no longer planned to contact other singers on the phone.

She can completely fulfill the requirements that Perla just told her, so why should she give this opportunity to others?

"Not bad, very good!"

After the promotional video ended, Ying couldn't help but nod. It couldn't be said to be exactly the same as the animated short film she remembered, but it could only be said to be completely consistent.

Sure enough, you are right to choose to cooperate with Anti-Entropy Technology!

Of course, Ying's own satisfaction was not enough, so she turned to look at Pella and Eden: "Pella, sister Eden, what do you think?"

Naturally, Pella turned into a ruthless nodding machine. While nodding, she praised: "The special effects are very good, but more importantly, the promotional video itself is very attractive. My curiosity is completely exhausted now." I’m totally hooked. I want to know what happened between the white-haired girl in the promotional video and the purple-haired girl driving the mecha, and I also want to know the follow-up.”
