Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 280 Preview Ends
Shortly after Adam Hammer appeared, his image appeared on news media and websites at the fastest speed.

"This is the most realistic and powerful villain I've ever seen! So cool!"

"I love Lucy 2, I love The Eye of Norton, I love Tang De."

"I want this armor too! Oh my god, this is the technology of the future!"

Many people want to see this villain in the movie with their own eyes, but due to time and place constraints, they can only satisfy their curiosity by watching sporadic videos and pictures on the forum.

At the scene, Adam Hammer walked around and then returned to the front of the stage, because the person who won the first place in cosplay would receive a prize presented by him personally.

Adam Hammer lightly lifted a box and placed it next to the winner. He looked at his terrorist squad armor and said in a wild tone, "Boy, I have destroyed thousands of guys like you with my own hands. Your lives are too fragile."

Facing such a huge monster, the winner James was so excited that he was speechless and could only look up at the figure of Adam Hammer.

Adam Hammer then returned to the container and was taken away by a helicopter again.

Seeing that the audience was still savoring the shock just now, Tang De picked up the microphone and said, "I know that many people like this villain, but I want to say that you are a little too happy too early, because this guy is an out-and-out demon king. If you watch the whole movie, you will feel the despair he brings."

"So let's start today's preview!"

After Tang De announced the start, the preview of "Lucy 2" finally began. Stars arrived one after another and occupied a large part of the film.

However, no stars other than those in the film were invited to the preview, and reporters found that many unfamiliar faces joined in instead.

After the interviews, they found out that these people were either bloggers of video websites, individual film critics, or senior commentators of film and television forums.

Vincenzo was among them. He followed the crowd and slowly walked into the cinema hall, then came to the movie theater and sat in the back row.

This is a giant screen theater, and everyone is given 3D glasses when entering.

Obviously, "Lucy 2" was still filmed in 3D.

Vincenzo thinks this is cool because many blockbuster movies are still only shot in 2D and cannot provide the immersive feeling of 3D movies.

Of course, 3D movies are not very friendly to myopia, and many film critics feel embarrassed after seeing the glasses.

Fortunately, the staff took out clip-on glasses and said, "Friends with myopia can clip these on to your glasses."

“This operation is awesome.”

"Finally I don't have to wear two glasses anymore."

Although Avatar created the 3D market and sparked audiences' interest in 3D movies, the related supporting products have not been complete.

The "Lucy" series is a 3D movie that follows Avatar. After the first film, Tang De decisively cooperated with accessory manufacturers to produce a series of accessories to improve 3D movie viewing.

These accessories will also become a powerful tool to help increase movie box office sales. Major cinemas have already hung up related posters for promotion. Vincenzo just saw one.

After all the audience entered the theater, Tang De and the crew members also walked in one by one. Amid the continuous applause, Scarlett had to speak up to calm everyone down, and then announced the start of the movie.

The next moment, the theater fell into darkness and the audience began to watch "Lucy 2".

The plot of "Lucy 2" begins after Lucy disappears, and the whole story runs in two parallel lines.

First up is Peel, who accidentally gained fluid superpowers. Because he killed Mr. Zhang and cracked down on the criminal group, he was very successful in the Terrorist Squad and was about to be promoted. However, he lost his job because of Arasaka Heavy Industries' frame-up.

The reason why Arasaka Heavy Industries complained about Pierre was because of a special case.

For some unknown reason, a group of mercenaries rushed into Arasaka Heavy Industries and clashed with the Arasaka army, resulting in their entire army being wiped out. Logically speaking, such a thing does not require a detailed investigation and can be concluded directly.

But Pierre decided to investigate the case seriously. He wanted to check the bodies of the mercenaries, but found that the body of their leader had disappeared. However, according to eyewitness testimony, he knew that the leader appeared in Arasaka Square and died at the hands of Adam Hammer.

But Arasaka Heavy Industries said that the leader disappeared and escaped.

This made Pierre very curious, so he began to investigate further, and accidentally discovered evidence of human experiments conducted by Arasaka Heavy Industries.

As a result, just when Pierre was about to get to the truth, Arasaka Heavy Industries framed him with some false evidence, causing him to lose his job, and set a trap in Pierre's home in an attempt to get rid of this guy.

At this critical moment, several helpers suddenly arrived.

One is a medieval royal knight named Lisi, who uses a special two-handed sword and has the superpower of controlling light.

Adonijah, the successor of ancient King Solomon, possesses the supernatural power of mind invasion.

David, a soldier in World War II, has the ability to control weapons. He directly turns Arasaka Heavy Industries' armored vehicles into weapons and fires crazily.

These people helped Pierre escape the pursuit, which made Pierre a little confused.
On the way, Pierre got to know several other people and learned why he was rescued.

This also involves the second story line, Lucy the Lucy.

After she turned into a USB flash drive, she did not lose her consciousness. Instead, she traveled through the online world, absorbing all kinds of knowledge.

And in order to find out the truth about CPH4, she began to go back in time to find someone who could solve her doubts.

During this period, she met several people with super powers. They were all among the most powerful people in their own era. They had also tried to find the origin of super powers. After meeting them, Lucy immediately aroused their interest after showing her ability to travel through time and space.

Because although they have super powers, they cannot achieve immortality, and they will eventually grow old as time goes by.

But they are all conceited, and even when they cooperate, they hope to gain enough initiative.

After evaluation, Lucy thought that she needed the assistance of this group of people, but the leadership could not be handed over to others, because only she could abandon human emotions and choose the most appropriate path. Therefore, she used a very buggy method to make them agree to cooperate.

That is to cooperate with them when they are old, find them in their youth, and bring them the memories of the future.

After going through this process, they quickly realized the terrifying power of Lucy, and also realized that in this cooperation, Lucy was the one who could take the lead.

After dealing with a few people, Lucy brought them to the modern era.

However, because her clone has been paying attention to everything that happens in the online world, she also knows what happened on Pierre's side.

So several people with super powers arrived in time and rescued Pierre.

When everything became clear, they rushed to the church and met Super Lucy and the Egyptian Princess Cleopatra.

But what followed was the pursuit of Arasaka Heavy Industries.

As one of the most terrifying military-industrial complexes in the world today, the strength demonstrated by Arasaka Heavy Industries is far beyond what Mr. Zhang can match, especially their special forces. Thanks to the effective use of CPH4, they have achieved a special magnetic field.

In a magnetic field, all superpowers will be weakened to varying degrees. In this case, the capabilities of heavy firepower weapons will be highlighted.

But Lucy is no pushover. In fact, she had anticipated Arasaka Heavy Industries' attack and, through a series of data exchanges, successfully got another giant military technology company to make a move. While the two sides were fighting fiercely, Adam Hammer made a brilliant appearance.

He appeared on the battlefield with unparalleled momentum and exaggerated firepower, killing anyone who stood in his way.

The others were defeated and injured, and only Lucy was able to fight back.

But because Adam Hammer's body structure is made entirely of the finest materials and his brain system is independent and closed, he does not have common mental weaknesses, and even data-type attacks have no effect on him.

Fortunately, Lucy finally thought of a solution.

She remotely gained control of the low-Earth orbit weapon, and had Li Si and David transform into light and fly to it. Then David used his superpowers on the low-Earth orbit weapon, turning it into his own weapon, and fired a powerful shot at Adam Hammer.

Although the weak field constructed by CPH4 can weaken super powers, it has no restraining effect on this kind of weapon.

So Adam Hammer was hit by the orbital cannon while being restrained by Lucy, suffering a serious blow.

Lucy and others took advantage of the situation to leave and directly invaded Arasaka Heavy Industries, obtaining various research data on CPH4 from its researchers.

As a result, he found the time when the first person with super powers appeared, successfully traveled back in time, and met the great wizard, Xuan.

"This starry sky surrounding us is actually an illusion."

When the audience heard this, they were immediately shocked. However, people like Vincenzo, who had read the comics, were very happy to see the shock on other people's faces and were secretly delighted.

"This is just the beginning. What comes next will be even more shocking." He couldn't help but say this, showing his sense of superiority.

But just as the audience was waiting for an explanation, the movie suddenly ended.

"OMG, why did it end so suddenly?"

"I want to see a reason! I will feel uncomfortable for a long time if this place is disconnected!"

“Will there be any Easter eggs?”

Seeing that there was no plan to light up the theater, the audience suppressed their confusion and continued to read the credits.

Fortunately, the subtitles ended quickly, the screen lit up, and the voice of Great Wu Xuan sounded as the narration, accompanied by images of the universe and the galaxy.

"Circles, snakes, flames."

"These four gods have cast a curtain across the world, separating us from the stars."

"If we want to see the real starry sky, we need to lift this curtain and let the Milky Way show its true face."

"Do you know where to start?" Lucy's voice rang out.

"I don't know, but I think the answer is within the puzzle." Great Wu Xuan gave the answer.

"I think so," Lucy agreed.

"Hey, hey, hey, speak more clearly, I don't understand." Peel's loud voice suddenly appeared, making the audience laugh out loud.

Lucy explained: "To put it simply, since the curtain exists in a physical sense, we only need to find the position and nodes of the curtain and destroy them to open the curtain."

"But where is its node? And why can't I see the curtain? Is it right in front of me?" Pierre was still asking.

"Node? Maybe it's hidden here." The screen finally turned to CPH4, where the flower was blooming beautifully.

The movie finally ended and the audience's bladders were finally relieved.

For three hours, the fast-paced plot and the exciting action scenes made the audience exclaim that it was worth the ticket price.

Although they didn't spend any money this time, many viewers even decided to wait until the movie was released to watch it again.

Especially those comic fans, such as Vincenzo, he really didn't expect that "Lucy 2" could catch up with the comic plot, directly speeding up the pace of the truth about the earth and integrating it into a movie.

But I have to say that this rhythm is just right. It omits a lot of meaningless side plots and goes straight to the most shocking main line, making the movie's viewing experience very full.

It can be said that this movie has no boring parts at all, and it makes people unable to take their eyes off it.

After the audience came back from the restroom, the interview phase began in the theater, but the first question made everyone laugh.

"Director, when will the third film be released?"

The questioner was also a reporter, but judging from his expression, he was obviously impressed by the quality of the movie and couldn't wait to see the third movie.

After asking this question, other audience members also cheered.

"That's right!"

“When will it be released?”

“Hurry up and shoot!”

Tang De shrugged and replied in surprise: "Well, thank you for your love, but to be honest, the third movie is not ready yet. Because in the arrangement, whether it is the plot or the special effects, the third one will be the most exciting one. I can only reveal so much, but you don't have to worry about not seeing it."

"Because the movie about Leopatra and the Royal Knight Lisi will be released next year. Okay, now let's talk about the movie."

Not long after, the interview session ended.

All the major reporters rushed back to the company as quickly as possible, and those film critics and bloggers also hurried back home.

Obviously, everyone wants to release the video as quickly as possible to grab the first wave of popularity.

Vincenzo is no exception.

Fortunately, he always carried a camera with him and recorded a lot of footage, so he could edit and publish it directly after returning.

“But what should the title be?” Vincenzo thought about it for a long time. Until the next day before releasing the video, he was still struggling with how to describe the movie.

Unable to think of anything, Vincenzo banged his head against the wall.

Fortunately, inspiration came immediately because he looked up and saw the white ceiling.

So he hurried back to his computer and wrote the title.

"Lucy 2, the pinnacle of sequels, a thoroughly enjoyable super-powered movie! You definitely can't miss it this summer!"
