Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 279 Adam Hammer
The promotion of "Lucy 2" has entered the final stage.

The official website of Norton Eye will announce the final cast today.

This list has been hidden for a long time. The actor who plays Adam Hammer has been guessed by not only Vincenzo and others for a long time, but also by the media.

Many reporters even stopped the stars and asked them whether they were in "Lucy 2".

Dwayne Johnson replied that he was not involved, but he hoped to get Tang De's favor.

Hugh Jackman replied that he has always admired Donald Trump's films and it would be great if there was a chance for them to work together.

Will Smith replied that he and Tang De had planned to work together many times, but it had never been successful.

Jason Statham replied that he liked the image of Adam Hammer very much, but unfortunately he was not the actor.

It was at this moment of great anticipation that the actor's name, Adam Sledgehammer, was finally announced by The Hollywood Reporter.

Rob Surrey.

This name surprised many people, because Rob Sally played a dead villain in the first part, and now he plays the final villain in the second part, which is obviously a bit distracting.

"I'm a little disappointed. This villain is obviously a big guy. How can Robbo, who is so short, play the role of Adam Hammer?"

"Yeah, why don't you ask other actors to play Adam Hammer? Is it because there is no funding?"

"I don't want to see the guy who died in the first part in the second part. It's too inconsistent!"

Many people on the forum expressed disappointment with Tang De’s casting.

But soon, the official website of "Lucy" released a real-life photo of Adam Hammer.

When Vincenzo opened the website and saw the photos, he was shocked.

Because the Adam Hammer in front of him had no human color on his face, his skin was pale, his eyes were equipped with mechanical prostheses, and the back of his head was full of data cables, and even his mouth and body structure were mechanical.

It can be said that except for half a head, there is no flesh on the body.

There is no doubt that this may be the reason why Adam Hammer chose Rob Surrey, because other muscular men simply cannot disguise themselves so perfectly, and only people with congenital defects like Rob Surrey can hide all their flesh.

And looking at the photos, Vincenzo couldn't connect him with Rob Sarri at all, it was really subversive.

Adam Hammer's face is covered with scars and marks left by mechanical surgery. A silver structural line divides his face into two halves from the center of his brain. Combined with his red mechanical prosthetic eyes, he looks like the coldest-blooded robot killer.

This image is comparable to the T-800 in the Terminator.

When everyone saw the true face of Adam Sledgehammer, they immediately understood the purpose of the casting of "Lucy 2".

"That doesn't look like Rob Surrey at all."

"Yeah, that's cool, look at his body, I dream of having a transformation like this."

"Wow, this mechanical prosthetic eye is the coolest. Which hospital can make it?"

A good villain design should be impressive while expressing cruelty. Adam Sledgehammer is one of those villains that people can remember at first sight.

At least on social media, discussions about the Lucy plot are far less popular than those about Adam Sledgehammer.

People in North America are very fond of villains who transform their entire bodies.

After all, body modification is very popular among young people nowadays, such as nose studs, lip studs, ear studs, and cow studs.

Therefore, the image of Adam Sledgehammer quickly became popular and became many people's first impression of "Lucy 2".

A week before the movie is released, Norton Eye announced that it will hold a preview and cosplay competition, and at the event, everyone will see the real Adam Sledgehammer.

This news sounds a bit confusing. Is this the real Adam Hammer?

Do we have to ask the actors to come to the preview ceremony wearing the costumes from the play?
But Adam Sledgehammer's outfit doesn't look like he can move freely, and it would be a problem to see it with your own eyes.

Fortunately, Norton's Eye thoughtfully invited many video bloggers, promised to provide them with free preview tickets, and asked them to record it by shooting videos.

But they are not required to say good things about the movie, as long as their evaluation is fair and objective.

This request obviously suits the tastes of many bloggers. They don't want their videos to be controlled by the company, so they agreed directly.

Vincenzo was among them. After getting the tickets, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

Even the next day, when he attended the preview, he still looked listless.

However, after arriving at the scene, he immediately became energetic because the atmosphere was so hot.

There were a large number of citizens on the streets surrounding the red carpet of the preview ceremony, and all kinds of reporters had their cameras ready, making it look just like the Oscar red carpet.

The reason why there are so many people is that the large-scale cosplay competition held by Norton's Eye announced that Tang De will serve as a judge to score each cosplay, and the final winner will be able to get a half-height super-human model.

As soon as the news came out, all New York cosplayers became excited.

Especially young people who like mechanical prostheses, they imitated the characters in the movie soon after Lucy was released, and many of them made mechanical prostheses.

Thanks to the production book published by Norton's Eye, they have avoided a lot of detours, and now cyber cosplay has become an indispensable part of major festivals.

However, not everyone can participate in this competition. They must submit their own photos and cosplay pictures. Only those who pass the review can enter the official venue and participate in the cosplay competition.

But even if you can't take part in the competition, you can still wear your own cosplay costumes and exchange experiences with others and have fun.

So when Vincenzo saw the streets full of young people wearing the mechanical prostheses they made and walking down the street, it was dazzling.

When he entered the audience with the ticket, he looked around and found that the entire venue was circular. At the front was the judges' seat, and on both sides of the judges' seat were the audience seats, where the invited people would sit.

The stage in the middle of the audience seats is where the cosplayers show themselves, and further away is where the cosplayers rest.

After Vincenzo sat down, he waited for about half an hour. As more and more cosplayers came in, the selection finally began.

However, Tang De is not the judge, because Tang De will not appear until the final. Now sitting on the judging panel are several famous cosplayers, and the art director and screenwriter of the "Lucy" movie.

Under the orderly arrangement, one coser came forward to show themselves. There were unrestrained girls wearing sexy clothes, and there were serious men who were fully armed with all the prosthetic details in place.

Of course, there are more cosplayers who have small surprises but are not outstanding.

But Vincenzo and his friends still had a feast for their eyes. They watched for a full hour and a half, and in the end a total of six cosplayers stood out.

They cosplayed as Peel, the Terror Squad, Lucy the Ultraman and the villain Sally respectively. They will face more stringent scrutiny from the judges in the finals, and then the only winner will be decided.

Just when everyone was taking a break, the audience surrounding the circular plaza suddenly made a burst of noise.

"It's Donde!" "And Scarlett!"

"They're coming!"

It turned out that the stars appeared at the scene. Vincenzo's heart immediately became excited. He looked up and saw Tang De and Scarlett walking into the square under the protection of bodyguards and sitting on the judges' seats.

The nearby audience seats immediately burst into cheers.

Tang De and Scarlett waved to everyone, then picked up the microphone and said, "Welcome everyone to the premiere of Lucy 2. I hope you have a good time here."

"To be honest, I was a little surprised because there were 213 cosplayers shortlisted, which is many times more than I expected. It seems that everyone really likes Lucy. So in order to live up to everyone's love, I have asked the staff to prepare a gift. I hope you will like it."

"Wow!"

Everyone immediately cheered for Tang De's generosity.

Afterwards, Tang De sat back in his chair and began to watch the coser finals.

The final will adopt a scoring system, and they will score each coser. Even Tang De and Scarlett cannot decide who is the champion.

Thirty minutes later, after all the scores came out, Tang De announced the winner of the coser competition to the audience. The winner was James, the man who cosplayed as the Terrorist Squad.

The jet-black armor he was wearing won unanimous praise from the judges. Both the workmanship and details showed that it was made with great care and high-quality materials, without any cheap feel at all.

After seeing this, many viewers felt that there would be no sense of incongruity in the appearance of this armor in the movie.

Maybe he could even give Adam Sledgehammer a run for his money.

But soon after, this idea was overturned.

Because they saw a helicopter carrying a container suddenly appear above the circular plaza.

"Buzz!" The wind brought by the helicopter blew everyone's hair, making everyone feel very confused.

"what is this?"

"Is there a leaflet in it?"

"Or did we fly to the wrong place?"

But the staff seemed to have received the message and had already cooperated with the helicopter to clear the venue.

Then the container landed with a bang in front of everyone's eyes. Tang De picked up the microphone and said, "I know everyone has been curious about what the villain of Lucy 2 is like, and now, he is here."

"Let's welcome Adam Sledgehammer!"

"What!" Vincenzo and others opened their mouths in surprise. Is it Adam Hammer in the container?
The person brought here by the helicopter was Adam Hammer?
This appearance was so extraordinary that everyone was shocked.

However, they soon saw the door of the container being slowly opened, accompanied by a creaking sound, and billowing smoke spread out from the container door.

Immediately afterwards, a huge dark figure slowly walked out of the thick fog.

Seeing this scene, Vincenzo held his breath, widened his eyes and said to himself in disbelief: "My God!"

Two sturdy mechanical prosthetic limbs with the beauty of steel material stepped out from the smoke, followed by sturdy mechanical arms and a mechanical waist with a hollow mechanical structure. When the smoke dissipated, the red eyes and the cannon barrels behind them also appeared one by one.

Adam Hammer!

When Adam Hammer, who was 2 meters tall and had a hideous face, walked out of the smoke, everyone inside and outside the square exclaimed from the bottom of their hearts!
"Oh my God!"

"God!"

"OMG!"

Only by seeing Adam Hammer in person can one understand his unparalleled deterrent power. He is a terrifying existence like a giant, a person with extraordinary abilities standing at the top of the food chain.

Now Vincenzo understood why Lucy and Pierre's team couldn't defeat Adam Hammer in the comics.

This existence, which integrates all the top capabilities of cyber technology and combines it with superpowers, is as terrifying as the devil. Just looking at it is enough to make people lose any resistance.

At this moment, Adam Hammer stepped forward.

"Bang!" Every step he took made a heavy sound, which seemed to represent how terrifyingly heavy this body was.

The curious cosplayers around him immediately turned around and ran away after seeing him move.

"What a bunch of pathetic ants." Adam Hammer glanced around, uttered a contemptuous voice, and then walked to the front of the audience.

"I can crush you to death with one hand." He tapped everyone with his red and cold eyes, and then said: "But this is too boring. You should accept more lasting terror."

"That's so cool! Can I take a photo with you?" Vincenzo was right next to Adam Hammer. When he saw him approaching, he immediately stood up and asked excitedly.

"Take a photo? My body is not something you can show off." Although Adam Hammer rejected him verbally, he did not leave.

Vincenzo immediately seized the opportunity to take out his camera, turned around and took a photo of himself and Adam Hammer.

Other audience members also asked to take photos, but Adam Hammer had already taken another step and walked straight to the judges' seat.

"Welcome, Adam Sledgehammer." Tang De did not call Robbo's real name, but instead used the name in the movie instead. But it has to be said that this feeling makes people feel more involved.

"Creator, are you the one who called me here?" Adam Hammer's voice was hoarse and had a distinct mechanical feel.

"That's right. It shouldn't delay anything for you." Tang De said with a smile.

"Of course, those minions are easy for me." Adam Hammer showed his confidence all the time.

"That's good, say hello to everyone."

Adam Hammer looked around and said, "Say hello? Do you want me to occupy this city and enslave these poor natives?"

Native people are the names given by cyborgs to people who have not undergone cyborg modification.

"I want you to walk around this square."

"Since you are the creator, then there is no problem. But ants, be careful, don't get stepped on by me."

After saying that, Adam Hammer slowly walked around the square in a full circle. During this time, his name was shouted crazily, and everyone was more enthusiastic than seeing a star.

"Why do they like him so much?" Scarlett asked puzzled.

Tang De replied in a low voice: "Because big is beautiful, power is beautiful, and machinery is beautiful, and Adam Hammer has all three."
