The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 81 Boxing Robot [Qin Palace Guard], the next wave of cultural and tourism promotion by the great director is ready!

……

Although, Zhao Shanshan said it very sincerely.

Lu Zhiyuan also knew that pleasing Miss Jing Tian was part of his job.

Just like an ordinary office worker who needs to flatter his boss.

However, work is work and life is life, although sometimes the boundary between the two is a little blurred...but at least in this matter, Lu Zhiyuan did not want to agree.

Too deliberate!

It seems so fake!
Not artistic at all, not beautiful at all!
"Sister Shanshan, I'll call you again tomorrow morning."

Lu Zhiyuan neither agreed nor refused, and used the tactic of procrastination.

"Another willful child."

Zhao Shanshan sighed helplessly and poured herself a glass of wine.

Standing at the window and looking down from the company's high-rise building, I saw the hustle and bustle of traffic outside.

She just felt so tired.

However, the next morning, Zhao Shanshan suddenly felt that all her efforts were worth it.

"Wow, what is this?"

The first thing Zhao Shanshan did when she arrived at the company was to turn on the computer and check her work email to see what content there was today.
Ever since some unknown young actresses missed the email sent by Lu Zhiyuan and regretted it for the rest of their lives...the agents in the circle suddenly began to pay more attention to their work email addresses.

Even if it is an email sent by a stranger, even if it is spam, you should take a look at it first.

After all, a glance only takes a few seconds.

How much money would the company lose if it missed the next genius like Lu Zhiyuan?
However, the email Lu Zhiyuan sent to Zhao Shanshan was certainly not spam.

It's a concept map!

A concept drawing of a robot!

This robot, modeled after the Terracotta Warriors, has slender proportions and delicate lines, blending the beauty of mechanics and biology.

If you look carefully on the exoskeleton armor, you can even see the patterns of ancient Chinese armor in some places.

Obviously, this is a Chinese-style robot and is full of Xi'an elements.

As a girl, Zhao Shanshan is not very interested in robots, but it has to be said that this painting of a robot full of the cold style of "EVA" is indeed beautiful.

She liked it immediately.

"Ayuan, what is this?"

Zhao Shanshan asked knowingly and called Lu Zhiyuan.

What else could it be?
Concept art for "Real Steel"!
This guy Lu Zhiyuan is really efficient.

She mentioned the copyright of this work just last night, and Lu Zhiyuan drew a concept map as soon as he got home that night.

Also, super cool!

"I named it [Qin Palace Guard]!"

"In the script for 'Iron Arena', isn't there an abandoned robot that's left in the rubble, and is eventually dug out by the protagonist to participate in the arena tournament?"

"I thought, if I were to shoot this movie... the robot design should incorporate some Chinese elements."

"When talking about ancient Chinese warriors, the Terracotta Army is an unavoidable topic."

"So, I incorporated a lot of terracotta warrior designs and patterns from the Tang Dynasty army armor into this concept map."

In the movie "Real Steel", the scenes between the protagonist and his son are used for sensationalism.

But after watching the movie, Lu Zhiyuan couldn't remember who the male lead of the movie was or what his son looked like.

He only remembered that the robot [Atom] was extremely ugly, like an Indian, with a strange round bump on its head.

It's simply speechless.

If he were to make this movie, he would definitely design the robots to be super cool and look very durable.

In short, it is necessary to take into account both practicality and beauty.

Even though this robot protagonist is gray and inconspicuous at the beginning, after wiping off the dirt and oil on his body, his hideous and gorgeous appearance should be revealed.

"Having said that, isn't your design really cool?"

Zhao Shanshan has also read the script of "Iron Arena", which describes it as an inconspicuous training robot.

Making it so cool doesn't seem to fit the robot's personality.

"Of course it can't be this cool when it first appears. But, after the protagonist has money, won't he modify it?"

"Even if it's just a car, there will be countless people modifying it."

"Not to mention, a combat robot like this!"

"This is also quite appropriate to the theme of the film, the grassroots counterattack... At first, it is grassroots, but after the counterattack, of course there must be gorgeous effects to highlight the visual counterattack!"

Of course, the truth is that Lu Zhiyuan could not accept that the protagonist in his movie was an ordinary robot.

Even if it is ordinary at the beginning, there must be a gorgeous transformation after the counterattack, right?

Otherwise, if I keep being such a loser, wouldn’t my comeback be in vain?
"What you said makes sense. Besides, cool things are indeed more likely to attract audiences."

After hearing what Lu Zhiyuan said, Zhao Shanshan agreed with it.

Although she doesn't like to modify cars, in her circle of rich second-generations, many people buy luxury cars and the first thing they do is to modify them and add all kinds of cool decorations.

Even a broken car needs to be modified, not to mention a boxing robot!

She imagined that if she had a boxing robot, she would modify it to make it invincible and cool.

How could I go to the ring in such a dejected manner?
Thinking of this, Zhao Shanshan was immediately convinced by Lu Zhiyuan.

Moreover, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was very promising.

"[Qin Palace Guards], that's a good name. If the movie becomes a hit, people will know it's based on the concept design of our Terracotta Army in Xi'an."

The Terracotta Warriors are already very popular. If this movie becomes a global hit, the Terracotta Warriors will probably become even more popular.

When the time comes, I will make a few more [Qin Palace Guards] robot models and put them at the door.

It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of tourists checking in every day.

Following his statement in Cannes, "See you at the Xi'an City Wall," Lu Zhiyuan made another big move.

[Qin Palace Guards], it sounds very cool!

A powerful aura of kingship that the King of Qin had when he swept across the six kingdoms 2000 years ago is coming towards you!

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Shanshan couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

The robot blockbuster is indeed interesting!
More exciting than an action movie!

Forcibly promoting Chinese elements may not necessarily make foreigners like them, and may even create a rebellious mentality.

However, Lu Zhiyuan used this kind of subtle cultural invasion, which made it impossible for the other party to defend against it... It felt a lot like Japanese anime.

This type of publicity is very similar to "Slam Dunk", turning the ordinary railway station of Kamakura High School into a world-class tourist attraction.

[Qin Palace Guards], combined with the existing Terracotta Warriors, will definitely make her hometown extremely popular.

Next summer...

Oh, it might be too late next year.

The following year, in the summer of 2011, she would remind all her relatives and friends not to go to the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an.

It will definitely be crowded with tourists!

"Oops, that was a bit too much."

Soon, Zhao Shanshan suddenly realized that Lu Zhiyuan seemed to be using this method to remind her that work is work and feelings are feelings.

He could treat Jing Tian like his boss, give him gifts, say nice things, and make him happy.

But on her side, she cannot use feelings to threaten others.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shanshan apologized decisively: "Ayuan, Tiantian is a little willful, and I was a little too much in this regard. Don't take what I said yesterday to heart."

The cultural and tourism strategic value of the great director is really too high.

Not to mention, Lu Zhiyuan integrated Xi'an elements into the film in a very harmonious way, which is likely to be liked by audiences all over the world.

Lu Zhiyuan is so dedicated to his work, so I shouldn't force him on emotional matters.

So as to avoid counterproductive results.

If he is unhappy and directly switches jobs to work with other companies, he will suffer a huge loss!

Xi'an City Wall.

Terracotta Warriors.

In addition to these, there are the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps, Huaqing Hot Spring... There are many other attractions in Xi'an waiting for Lu Zhiyuan to take you there!

These are all political achievements!

"Sister Shanshan, thank you for your understanding."

Lu Zhiyuan hung up the phone, but his tone seemed to reveal a hint of alienation.

This made Zhao Shanshan secretly say "oh no" in her heart. She seemed to have gone a little too far and had shown the same attitude as the old man in her family treated his subordinates.

Lu Zhiyuan is not an employee of their company, and the two parties are just partners at most.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shanshan felt that she should make up for it.

……

Opposite to Xi'an Art Museum.

A residential area not far from the Tang Paradise.

Lu Zhiyuan's parents had just finished packing and learned that their son had a flight tonight and would return to Xi'an to spend some time with them.

The old couple were very happy.

My mother is working hard to cook there.

Dad is also busy. He is studying the housing prices in the nearby communities. Since the housing prices have dropped a lot now, should he buy a wedding house for his son?

But at this moment, his cell phone rang.

"Leader, yes, it's me! Don't disturb me, don't disturb me."

"What? The General Administration has a spot and recommended me to Jiaotong University for further doctoral studies? After I come back, they'll give me a salary increase and let me become the vice president of the urban rail company down there?"

"But, I just joined the design institute..."

Lu Zhiyuan's father wanted to hesitate for a while. After all, although building a bridge and developing urban rail are somewhat related, their professions are not completely compatible.

He always felt that there was something wrong here.

"No problem! The organization's appointment will be announced soon. Unless you resign!"

The leader's words left Lu Zhiyuan's father speechless.

It is impossible for me to resign. I have been working in this unit since I graduated from university, which is more than 20 years. I have finally made it this far.

Resign?

There is no way I will quit my job in this lifetime!

"Lao Lu, I think you should give your son a call. Your inexplicable late bloomer makes me feel a little uneasy."

The old couple worked as bridge engineers in the deep mountains and forests, building bridges and roads for more than 20 years. It was tiring and hard work. Although they earned some money, it was all at the risk of their lives.

I haven't seen the leaders value them so much.

All the changes in the family came from Lu Zhiyuan winning the Cannes Palme d'Or.

However, I haven’t heard that other big directors have such treatment at home?

So, there must be something hidden!
