Chapter 1022 The bad movie is unexpectedly good-looking
In a certain area of the Hawaiian Islands, a large area of the surrounding sea area has been isolated and domesticated sharks are used for biopharmaceutical research.
Because scientific research projects carry certain risks, this sea area is geographically remote, far away from golden beaches and beauties in swimsuits, and can only be reached by helicopter.
Except for the two-story communication observatory on the water, most of the institute's buildings are located underwater to facilitate experimental research.
The helicopter landed, and John and Matilda jumped onto the tarmac. The two naughty children were very interested in the deep-sea shark aquarium.
Russell and Arnold followed them off the plane, followed by Leon, who was in a suit and sunglasses. He was working part-time as a bodyguard during this trip and was responsible for the security of Russell and Arnold.
Although it is not certain who will protect whom if something happens, Russell and Arnold are wealthy people, and personal bodyguards are a necessity in life.
Except for the five of them, no one else came.
Sarah Connor has not yet overcome her anxiety disorder. Compared with the mouthful of sharks, the blue sky, white clouds, and beach sea breeze are more suitable for her to adjust her mentality.
Max and Caroline have no love for sharks. One takes crazy selfies on the yacht, and the other eats and drinks on the yacht, refusing to leave even half a step to death.
Not to mention Russell's robot maid Elinor, who hates the sea and all marine life, including sharks.
"Both of you, I am Susan McAllister, the person in charge here. I welcome you."
Regarding the arrival of Russell and Arnold, the intellectual beauty Susan showed great enthusiasm, not because her acting skills were too exaggerated, but because she sincerely welcomed the arrival of the two.
The project research has reached a bottleneck, and Arnold's partner, the project investor, plans to terminate funding.
Let’s put aside dreams and talk about reality. Without money, it is impossible to continue research. Dr. Susan was not sure what to do, and two rich people immediately came to her door.
There is always a way out!
She is ready to show her research results to Russell and Arnold, and she is convinced that her eloquence and the huge benefits that will come from the success of the research project can impress the two to bring enough funds.
Susan knew the identities of the two of them. Arnold was a banker and a famous investor, while Russell was a billionaire with too much money and nowhere to spend it, a very wealthy man.
It doesn't require that both of them are interested, just a nod from one of them and a little pocket money between her fingers can help her get through the difficulty.
"Hello, Dr. Susan!"
Arnold shook hands with Susan politely, and they took the elevator into the Deep Sea Research Institute, which is a hundred meters underwater.
"About 200,000 people around the world suffer from Alzheimer's disease every year. If it can be cured by taking a pill, it will be a great benefit to all mankind..."
In the elevator, Susan couldn't wait to talk about the great significance of the research project.
The so-called Alzheimer's disease, commonly known as Alzheimer's disease, is a... Omitting encyclopedia here... There is currently no treatment, it can only relieve but cannot reverse.
"Dr. Susan, your project may benefit all mankind, but I have no intention of investing. I just brought two little guys here for a visit today."
Arnold held down the heads of John and Matilda and politely rejected Susan's chatter.
"I see……"
Dr. Susan was very embarrassed, but she had no retreat and continued: "Both of you, you are not interested in academic research. You might as well listen to the huge benefits brought by this research. Countless people are tortured by Alzheimer's disease. They
Their families have to spend a lot of time with them, and these people are very willing to spend a lot of money to buy special medicines."
"No, we will leave after watching the sharks."
"Okay, let's talk as we watch. These sharks are amazing. Extracting the protein from their brains can restore human atrophied brains and fundamentally cure..."
Dr. Susan still didn't give up. Arnold shook his head and said nothing more.
Russell said nothing during the whole process, his thoughts were divergent, and he didn't know where he had drifted.
Human beings are both curious and afraid of ocean predators like sharks, so many movies and TV shows about sharks eating people have been produced, such as the classic "Jaws", and another example is the "Deep Sea Shark" where he is now.
Listening to Arnold talking about sharks and the key words of the institute, Russell knew that this chaotic world had not let go of the classic IP of sharks, so he decided to try his luck to see which shark would be lucky enough to contribute a lottery draw to him.
Then he will kill him with his own hands!
When he arrived at the research institute by helicopter, he breathed a sigh of relief. A formal shark thriller was not the mind-boggling "Sharknado" series, nor the heartbreaking "N-Headed Shark" series.
He once watched movie clips from two series, and his whole body felt bad afterwards. He felt that watching more movies would seriously lower his IQ.
He couldn't believe that Qijie, such a shoddy movie, could be filmed several times in a row and become a series, and there is still a market for it.
Thinking about it again, the audience chose to watch for a very good reason, not for the sharks with 50-cent special effects, but for the beauties in swimsuits without swimsuits.
At that time, Russell thought that he could not lose his IQ alone, but must recommend it to the vast number of netizens and help them lose their IQ together. After searching online, he was even more speechless.
Both series are produced by the same company.
Russell's heart was filled with confusion, and he searched for who this company was, and was deeply impressed after reading it.
The awesome company that produces these brain-exploding, thunderous movies is famous in the world of bad movies and its position is unshakable.
In addition to the two shark movies, it also has many well-known IPs, such as [Transformation], [30,000 Leagues Under the Sea], [Atlantic Rim], [Da Vinci's Treasures], [The Hungry Game], and is firmly at the top of the copycat industry.
Top position.
Uh, something seems to be wrong!
If it's wrong, that's right. Its corporate culture is to persist and never make a movie that costs more than 1 million US dollars.
What is admirable is that this company has never made a movie that lost money, and every one of them made a profit.
Even if the original version fails, they can still make a profit.
For example, the "Super Battleship" that Russell had just experienced before, the original version lost 200 million U.S. dollars, but this company's "U.S. Navy" not only recovered the cost, but also made 50% of the profit, with a total revenue of up to 250,000 U.S. dollars.
Just asking if you are angry!
But even if it is extremely bad, even if they know it is a bad movie before watching the movie, there are still viewers who are willing to buy it. They regard the flaws as highlights and find that the bad movie is unexpectedly good.
"Mr. Russell! Mr. Russell!"
Russell, who was thinking divergently, recovered from his speechlessness and found that Arnold and Leon and two kids were watching the sharks swimming by in front of the glass of the main laboratory, exclaiming and laughing from time to time.
In front of him was Dr. Susan, who looked hungry...and eager.
Russell took two steps back and subconsciously held his collar: "Sorry, I'm not a casual person."
"You are so... humorous."
Dr. Susan smiled coquettishly and continued with a serious face: "Mr. Russell, you just heard me mention the progress of the experiment and nodded repeatedly with a smile. Did you decide to invest in the project?"
"What, what did you just say?"
"..."
Dr. Susan's smile froze on her face, and she secretly thought that rich people are really difficult to serve. She took two deep breaths and said: "Mr. Russell, this research has great prospects. Returning profits can give you a monopoly..."
"stop!"
Russell raised his hand to stop and shook his head in refusal: "I'm not interested. I have no interest in sharks, and I don't expect to invest in this project to benefit mankind."
Seeing Russell's refusal very simply and without leaving any room, Dr. Susan gritted her teeth, took a step forward and whispered: "If you are worried, I have sufficient experimental data to prove it in my office, and we can talk slowly there.
"
"No, doctor, I am really not a casual person."
Russell refused again, bypassed Dr. Susan and came to the observation glass wall, looking through the dim water at the three super sharks inside.
【Ding】
[The host comes into contact with the mutated shark, a plot character, and triggers the lottery. Do you want to draw now? 】
There is a lottery!
Russell's eyes lit up, and he realized that this was a good idea. He took back what he said before and started to call the shark.
"Mr. Russell, these two sharks are specially bred in the laboratory. What do you think?"
Sensing the change in Russell's expression, Dr. Susan asked aloud. She attached great importance to this research and very much hoped to convince Russell.
Russell telepathically scanned it and said without changing his expression: "Doctor, if you read correctly, these three sharks should be mako sharks, but aren't they a bit too big?"
The mako shark has a ferocious temperament and preys on other fish, including sharks, and can reach a maximum size of four meters. These three animals clearly exceed the standard, and the largest one is about six meters, which is already at the level of a great white shark.
Perhaps because of someone's inherent affinity, Dr. Susan lowered her head in shame: "The brain capacity of ordinary mako sharks is too small to extract enough protein. In order to make a major breakthrough in medical experiments, I used genetic engineering to increase their brain capacity."
brain size, and the side effect is that they become stronger and smarter."
Russell nodded and affirmed: "Doctor, you are the one who should increase your brain capacity."
"I know that I have violated relevant regulations, but once the experiment is successful, countless people will benefit from it." After saying this, Dr. Susan immediately became determined.
"Aren't you worried that they will be too smart, escape from the deep-sea base, reproduce wildly, and cause a chain of disasters?"
"Don't worry, they are very smart, but they are far inferior to humans, and they cannot escape from this underwater prison." Dr. Susan said confidently.
"Doctor, I have a question. Your genetic modification technology is so mature, why are you still obsessed with sharks? If you change the research field, wouldn't it mean that you can win awards and get soft?"
Russell complained, his eyes locked on the three mutated sharks, and invisible telepathy swept over them, causing them to lose their minds and attack the reinforced glass in front of them crazily.
One of the sharks held a stone in its mouth and wrote the word "death" on the tempered glass with a squeaking sound.
"o!m!g!"
There were screams in the main research room. Arnold and Leon protected the two naughty kids who kept taking pictures behind them. The other researchers came forward in stunned silence.
"Sharks...what does that mean?"
"I've seen it, it's in Chinese, let me check."
"..."
Russell coughed lightly, and the shark holding the stone in its mouth changed the line and rewritten it. This time, what was left in English was—die!
At this time, the research laboratory was completely in chaos, because the shark they raised could actually speak two languages.
