The protagonist Qin Yi is not a child overflowing with sympathy, but a soldier with a clear mind and a heart of stone.
Affected by the Hive Consciousness, he naturally feels close and sympathetic to the Zerg, but he can use his own reason to resist and resist this feeling of closeness. He deceives the Zerg without hesitation and orders the extermination of the entire Zerg. This is
What the protagonist should do from a Chinese perspective.
Of course, this makes the final ending even more ironic.
If it were a Madonna protagonist who called for peaceful coexistence with the Zerg, and ended up on the side of the Zerg, the audience would only think that he was a "traitor" and a fool, and they would not have any good impressions of him.
But Qin Yi is completely on the side of humans, but he is betrayed by some strange combination of circumstances and forced to become the master of the Zerg race. This makes it difficult for the audience to feel disgusted with him.
Therefore, if Lu Zhiyao was asked to evaluate this movie, he felt that there were three aspects of this movie that were special enough.
First of all, it reinterprets a classic science fiction theme from a Chinese cultural perspective. For domestic audiences, this is a story that makes most people feel that their values are consistent with their own.
Secondly, such a huge investment and a large number of special effects shots have pushed domestic science fiction movies to a peak. Regardless of whether it makes a profit or a loss at the box office, at least it will leave a mark in the history of domestic science fiction movies.
Finally, this special form of expression is obviously different from other movies, and it is a very novel attempt.
The main actor in the whole movie is only Lu Zhiyao. If his acting skills fail, then the movie will also collapse; but if his acting skills hold up the whole movie, it will last for more than an hour and the emotions will be so great.
A performance that changes drastically will become a classic in film history.
There are no outdoor scenes, only green screens. Although it greatly increases the shooting cost, it is still a way to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.
The current domestic situation is that there are many companies doing game special effects with good technology, but there are few companies doing movie special effects with poor technology. Moreover, Tenda Group itself has more technical reserves in games.
In this case, we deliberately did not create so many real scenes. It was just a space capsule and a circle of green screen. All actual combat scenes were done with special effects to ensure the maximum effect.
In addition, Lu Zhiyao also vaguely feels that this movie is inextricably linked to the gameplay of the game "Mission and Choice".
It's just that Lu Zhiyao himself is not a hardcore gamer. He knows only a little about games and knows nothing about the details of the game "Mission and Decision", so he can only wait for the game to be released and the movie to be released.
Understand the connection between the two.
After reading the last part of the script, Lu Zhiyao was even more sure that he had made the right decision for this film.
Think about it, can there be any problems with Mr. Pei’s films? Every one of them must be a classic!
If the previous "Better Tomorrow" was a film disguised as science fiction but actually about human nature and social systems, then "Mission and Choice" is a serious science fiction film.
Moreover, this science fiction film has put forward higher requirements for Lu Zhiyao's acting skills. If he can perform well, then Lu Zhiyao will definitely take a step further on the road to becoming an actor!
Thinking of this, Lu Zhiyao felt full of energy and continued to hone his acting skills in front of the mirror.

February 6th, Monday.
After Pei Qian got up and had breakfast, he took the car and went straight to the Frightened Hostel.
Today is the Lantern Festival, but the Lantern Festival is not a legal holiday, so there is no holiday. However, Pei Qian specifically told Moyu Takeout to add the Lantern Festival to the employees' working meals, which can be regarded as a special holiday care.
Pei Qian went to the Panic Hostel today because he had a big job to give to Chen Kangtuo.
The Panic Hotel was completed in July last year and has three projects: Escape, Nightmare and Ultimate Terror.
After the opening, Mr. Li and others carried out a wave of publicity in Jingzhou and even Handong Province. Zhang Wang carried out a wave of publicity through shared phone booths across the country. Videos of various UP owners also carried out a wave of publicity. In "Pei
After the "Total Lifestyle" became popular, many people came to Jingzhou to challenge this thrilling project.
In short, as a haunted house, the Hotel is already well-known throughout the country. When it comes to haunted houses in Jingzhou and even the entire Handong Province, everyone’s first reaction is the Hotel. There are also many young people who come from other cities to experience it.
But half a year has passed, and the passenger flow of the Frightening Hotel has also dropped, and there is still a long way to go before the initial investment in construction costs can be recovered.
The most fundamental reason is that there is no cluster effect.
Large-scale amusement parks often have dozens or dozens of projects, including not only haunted houses, but also roller coasters, large pendulums and other extreme and exciting projects, as well as relatively soothing and children-friendly projects such as carousels.
These large amusement parks are suitable for all ages, and they can play many projects at one time, attracting more tourists.
Although the Panic Hostel project is very fun and has a certain replayability compared to other haunted houses, the first wave of horror enthusiasts will get tired of it after visiting it three or four times at most and will not come every day.
Therefore, the popularity will naturally fall back.
Pei Qian thinks this is a good phenomenon.
Looking back at the Panic Hostel project half a year after its opening, I realize that although it is currently making money, it is still far from possible to recover the initial investment cost. It may take several years, ten years or even longer.
This shows that the strategy of "spectacles detracting from the country" is right!
Now that Pei Qian has more and more system funds in his hands, he can almost continue to build a large-scale construction project at the Panic Hostel and burn a lot of money.
…
Pei Qian came to the office at the Jingtang Hotel campus and met Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong.
It is now Monday morning, and there are not many tourists in the entire Terror Hostel campus. Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong are in the office, busy dealing with some daily affairs.
After becoming the person in charge of the Frightening Hotel, Chen Kangtuo did not go into the haunted house every day. In addition to maintaining the normal operation of the Frightening Hotel and dealing with some emergencies, his main focus was on continuing to improve the tourist experience.
.
Although the completion level of these three projects is already very high, there is still room for improvement in some details, and there is also room for continued improvement in some buildings and decorations on the site.
Chen Kangtuo stayed at the Frightened Hostel all day, and he was almost as familiar with the place as his own backyard. When he had nothing to do, he came up with some small repair plans.
So so far, the experience given to tourists by Panic Hostel is much better than when it first opened.
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were both a little excited to see Mr. Pei.
Mr. Pei has not forgotten us!
President Pei has not been here for half a year since the official opening of the Panic Hostel. If it weren't for the huge investment in this place, Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong would almost think that they were President Pei's abandoned sons.
Now that Mr. Pei is finally here, he obviously has a new mission!
Pei Qian sat down on the sofa in the office, took a sip of tea, and went straight to the topic without any intention of showing off.
"There's nothing special to do today. I just arranged a new job for you."
"I'll give you 100 million in funding and a one-year construction period to build a new project here at the Panic Hotel."
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were stunned for a moment.
What the hell?
100 million funds??
Both of them were at a loss.
Because the funds Tengda Group has invested in the Panic Hostel so far are only 50 to 60 million, and that’s after completing three projects!
The three projects of Desperate Escape, Haunted House Nightmare, and Ultimate Horror, including the golden maze in the park, the maid cafe, etc., all use the original factory building, so they mainly renovate and set the scenery in the factory building.
Tens of millions is enough to create a very top-notch horror effect.
As for the supporting facilities around the three projects, they are all paid for by Mr. Li and others.
In the past, three projects cost 50 to 60 million, but now one project costs 100 million?
The cost and construction period of this project are much higher than the previous three projects!
What kind of project is this?
Chen Kangtuo asked tentatively: "Mr. Pei, is this a haunted house that we are going to build this time?"
Pei Qian shook his head: "No."
When Pei Qian decided to build a haunted house, he had two main purposes: one was to lose money, and the other was to scare Ruan Guangjian.
But in the current state of Panic Hostel, neither goal has been achieved!
The second goal was particularly unsuccessful. Ruan Guangjian not only was not scared, but actually had a great time in the "ultimate horror".
If we build a new haunted house, wouldn't this guy be better off?
Moreover, the greater the investment in a haunted house, the more likely it is to attract horror enthusiasts from all over the world.
The Panic Hostel is already well-known among horror enthusiasts. If another 100 million yuan is spent to build a new haunted house project, its scale will probably catch up with super-large haunted houses like Wushan Mental Hospital, becoming the largest in the country.
The haunted house project had disastrous consequences.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Pei Qian decided to put the matter of the haunted house aside and spend the 100 million this time on other projects.
The reason for setting such a high budget is mainly because of the long construction period.
This project spans two cycles and lasts for nearly a year. Who knows how much money we will make in this year? Set the budget higher to avoid having to spend money suddenly and hastily.
When Mr. Pei said it was not a haunted house project, Chen Kangtuo breathed a sigh of relief.
fine!
Because designing the three haunted house projects of the Panic Hostel has almost exhausted the ideas of both him and Hao Qiong. If he spends another 100 million to build a haunted house, it will at most be a large haunted house like Wushan Mental Hospital.
There must be something new.
Doing other projects can also enrich the entertainment types of the Frightened Hostel.
Chen Kangtuo asked: "Mr. Pei, what specific project are you going to do this time?"
Pei Qian had already thought about it and immediately replied: "A roller coaster, but not a traditional roller coaster."
Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were confused and continued to listen carefully.
