Chapter 1667 Image (The new day is still eating instant noodles)

The project was approved, and then came the investors. Duanmu Huai did not make the exclusive investment this time, but he still took the lion's share. The budget of the entire movie was increased from the original one billion to 1.8 billion. Looking at it this way, it will probably cost 2 billion in the future. I can't even stop it.

But it doesn’t matter, Duanmu Huai means that he is rich, willful, and just wants to fix it!

For ordinary film companies, shooting large-scale productions is a very risky thing. After all, if the cost cannot be recovered, it will be a dead end. However, most of the money Duanmu Huai spent came from himself. After all, for him, the goal of this movie is not to make a profit, but to be popular and the impression his character leaves on the audience.

That's right, Duanmu Huai is just for this, and you won't feel bad if you spend two billion on it.

Investment is secured, and then comes casting.

Because this movie is essentially the same as Resident Evil, it is a science fiction action movie with horror elements, so the requirements for the actors are to be able to run, jump and fight. Actors with a fighting background were naturally given priority, so Himekawa Daiki, who had collaborated with Duanmu Huai in Tokyo BLADE, was selected as the leading actor, and Arima Kana and Kurokawa Akane also got two supporting roles respectively.

Even Ruby and others were selfishly arranged by Duanmu Huai and played a small role in it - the plot of the movie is divided into pre-disaster and post-disaster. The small town B where Ruby is located can be crowded with people at the beginning of the movie and is not affected by the disaster. They play an idol group in the world and appear in a few scenes in the movie. In the post-disaster world, they will transform into mutated monster bosses to hinder the protagonist group.

Of course, most of this part is done with stunts.

Only Sakurajima Mai had no choice but to quit because she was taking the pure goddess route and had basically no experience in acting. Plus, the schedule didn't match up.

The shooting location was finally chosen in Kyoto, a metropolis with both historic monuments and modern buildings, because it was necessary to block the streets to shoot the deserted city, and then use special effects to add post-disaster effects. Although it would have been better to choose Tokyo to set up such an imaginary city, considering the level of trouble in Tokyo and the strong invitation from Kyoto after learning about the incident, they were very cooperative, so everyone decided to shoot in Kyoto.

Then came the photography, lighting team.

Sound and music team.

Costume, art, props team.

Cast.

Shooting schedule.

Issuing company determined.

The shooting officially started.

Script reading.

Clothing fitting.

"This is my first time participating in such a big production."

Arimagana turned his head uneasily and looked around. There were several actors sitting in the conference room alone, including some famous actors. Of course, as a movie, the number of main characters is also limited. Including the villain, there were no more than ten people in total.

"I heard that this movie will be released simultaneously around the world, which is a big deal."

Even Kurokawa Akane seemed a little nervous. Although it was not their first time filming a movie, it was still their first time filming such a world-class movie.

"But to be honest, this is my first time wearing this kind of costume."

Arimagana looked at the clothes on her body speechlessly. In the movie setting, they are people living in a post-disaster world in the future, so the clothes they wear are patched and tattered clothes. Of course, this does not mean that they should dress like beggars, because they also have to fight monsters in the post-disaster world, so they must wear clothes that are convenient for movement.

It just needs to be old-fashioned, so for girls who love beauty, it is naturally a little difficult to adapt. Of course, it is just a talk.

"Speaking of which, where is Xiao Ai?"

Arima Kanai waved her arms to make sure that the clothes did not affect her movement, and then started to look around curiously.

"I want to see what Xiao Ai's costume looks like. I remember she plays a reformer? This role is really new to Xiao Ai."

The murderer played by Duan Muhuai is actually the male protagonist's sister. She was captured by the villain organization and transformed into an immortal biochemical warrior. In the script, she has lost her ability to think, and she just instinctively kills all the creatures that stand in her way. The reason why he pursues the protagonist is because of his subconscious attachment to his brother.

Regarding the plot of this character, Duanmu Huai, director Qing Shui and the screenwriter have discussed it many times, although the screenwriter feels that it can reach the end of the plot where the sister regains her sanity and recognizes her brother. However, directors Duanmu Huai and Qing Shui believed that this kind of scene was too cliched, and the theme of the movie was to show a cruel doomsday world, so it would be boring if it looked like a cartoon. So this plot was finally modified so that when the protagonist was knocked down by his sister and was about to be killed, the monster BOSS suddenly appeared to attack the heroine, but the sister looked at the hero, then at the monster, and then turned around resolutely and faced the heroine. Kill the monster BOSS.

As for whether the sister followed the programming she was injected into, or whether the sister finally recognized her brother and decided to protect the protagonist, Director Shimizu decided to let the audience decide for themselves through the lens of the language.

"Actually, I'm quite curious. I don't know what it would be like for Xiao Ai to dress up as a biochemical warrior."

At this point, Arima Ganai jumped up and down curiously, looking around. Although Kurokawa Akane was a little speechless at her reaction, she had to admit that she was also quite curious.

and……………

I don't know if it was Kurokawa Akane's illusion, but she felt that the role of this sister seemed to be tailor-made for Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai didn't even have to act, he just had to show his usual self.

“Boom…boom…!!”

At this moment, suddenly, the two of them heard heavy footsteps coming from behind. When they turned their heads to look, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Behind them, they saw a figure wearing pitch black armor walking towards them and others.

This figure seemed to be about the same height as the two of them. The dark armor covered the whole body, and the thick shoulder armor even covered most of the face. The helmet painted with skull patterns exuded a bright red cold light.

In the left hand of this armored warrior, he held a tower shield that was almost as big as his height. In front of the shield was a skeleton with hands clasped together like a prayer. He held a huge, heavy war hammer in his right hand. Just standing there, there was a cold and powerful aura rushing towards him.

"Wow——! Little, little love?"

Hearing Arima Ganai's cry, the latter lowered his hammer and then took off his helmet.

"Yes, how about it? Isn't this look cool?"

"It's really cool."

Seeing that it was Duanmu Huai, Arima Kanai was relieved. He walked to Duanmu Huai and curiously reached out and touched the armor on Duanmu Huai.

"Wait, why is it so hard? Is it made of iron?"

"Of course, since you have to do it, you have to do the best."

Duanmu Huai nodded without hesitation. In this era, it is definitely impossible to make power armor, but after all, it is a prop, and there is no need for real power armor. Although generally speaking, this kind of props are made of some special materials, Duanmu Huai thinks that there is no need to go to so much trouble, and it is enough to just keep it original and cast a similar force feedback armor shell out of steel!

By the way, this set of equipment is the costume of a war nun, so Duanmuhuai is not bad at putting it to use.

Director Shimizu was full of praise for this design, so it was decided.

"Don't you feel heavy? Xiao Ai?"

At this moment, Kurokawa Akane also came over and asked. After all, Duanmu Huai was covered in heavy armor and was holding a tower shield and a sledgehammer. He looked very heavy.

"Fortunately, it's definitely heavy, but it's okay for me."

Considering the texture, Duanmu Huai uses almost all real ones. Most people can't move let alone walk in this suit. But for Duanmu Huai, this load is nothing at all. Even if he wears this now, he can go to the Chrysanthemum Awards and come back as a champion.

Moreover, Duanmu Huai plans to wear this to subspace.

"By the way, what's with the skull on this shield?"

"Ah, that's the protagonist's mother."

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Duanmu Huai knocked on the skull mounted on the shield. At this moment, the skeleton had his hands clasped together and was imprisoned on the shield.

"According to the setting, the protagonist and his sister's mother were captured by the evil organization because they wanted to help their sister escape, and then tied to this shield, allowing the sister who had been transformed into a cyborg to take her mother everywhere to hunt monsters , and then the mother kept trying to wake her daughter up, but unfortunately, she couldn't wake her up until she died."

"Wow..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's explanation, Arima Ganai looked horrified.

"Isn't this too scary, so my sister keeps fighting with her mother's bones? If the protagonist knew about this, would he go crazy?"

"The protagonist doesn't need to know, the audience just needs to know."

Duanmu Huai put down his shield with a clang and shrugged his shoulders.

"By the way, what's on this armor? Scripture??"

Kurokawa Akane curiously approached Duanmu Huai's armor and looked at the note attached to it.

"Go forward bravely and purify the impure. Root out heretics and destroy foreign enemies."

Duanmuhuai said, humming slightly.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just randomly find a few words that look good and put them on it, and make it look like this."

"………………"

Kurokawa Akane did not answer. She blinked and stared at the armor in front of her. Although the style is different, Kurokawa Akane is very sure that he has seen a similar style somewhere before - by the way, it was in a dream.

In that terrible, terrible nightmare.

She still remembered that the tall man wore such a suit of armor. Although the sizes were different, they were very similar... Thinking of this, Kurokawa Akane looked at the girl in front of him again.

However, at this moment, her eyes suddenly flashed.

The girl who was standing there disappeared. What appeared in front of Kurokawa Akane at this moment was a tall, bald man with a fierce appearance. He was more than two meters tall, and Kurokawa Akane looked like a child in front of him. He wore thick, pitch-black armor, on which the skull and golden double-headed eagle decoration could be clearly seen. The thick shoulder armor bulged high, filling his whole body with an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Who are you?

Kurokawa Akane stared at the man in front of her.

Who are you?

She had never seen him before, but she instinctively felt that he was very familiar, as if she had known who this man was for a long time.

But who are you?

"………………"

The man didn't speak, he just lowered his head and stared at Kurokawa Akane. There was no joy or sadness in his eyes, no fluctuation, calm and indifferent.

This look... looks like Xiao Ai.

That's right.

Kurokawa Akane understood the source of this familiarity, because she had been observing Xiao Ai all the time, and she knew that Xiao Ai would always be calm and indifferent no matter what the occasion was, no matter what kind of feelings she was in.

Except when fighting.

She still remembered what happened at that time. Facing those "evil ghosts", Xiao Ai's eyes, which seemed indifferent to everything on weekdays, suddenly burst out with unparalleled anger and hatred like ignited gasoline. At that moment, her whole body turned into a blazing flame, as if she would devour and burn all those who dared to approach her...

"Akaane?"

Arima Kana's voice came from her ear, causing Kurokawa Akane to tremble suddenly. When she came to her senses, she found that the illusion that originally appeared in front of her had disappeared. And Arima Kana stared at her curiously.

"What are you doing? The second part of the script reading is about to begin?"

"Ah, um... I know."

Kurokawa Akane suppressed her inner feelings and nodded. At this moment, Duanmu Huai was no longer in front of her. Maybe he had something to do and left.

What happened just now?

At least now, Kurokawa Akane did not think that it was just an illusion.
