Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

On a new day, after Zhao Donghuai got up and washed himself, he opened the simulator and looked at his reputation value. A trace of surprise that was hard to suppress flashed in his eyes.

His reputation reached 2787 points. He was originally rated as an unknown person, but now he has become a minor celebrity.

"My last simulation was before I went to A Mei's house to buy scrap paper for the second time. I simulated it twice in succession. The first time I received a reward of +2 daytime combat power, and then two years of unlimited fighting experience and skills."

"After receiving it, I only had 93 reputation points left, but since the release of New World, the number has reached 2,787 in just two weeks. It seems that in the entertainment industry, earning reputation is still worth looking forward to."

"I am still a director. If I become a star like Fa Zai... I guess it will have to be several times or more??"

If a movie is a box office hit, who benefits the most? The stars, the male and female protagonists, are like the ones in later generations. I Am Not the God of Medicine was a box office hit and had an amazing reputation. No matter how bad the lead actor is, he can still look familiar in front of the audience.

But the director, if you were a person in 2022, would not search the Internet, mention that I am not the god of medicine, mention the names of Xu Guangtou or Tan Zhuo, and think of their appearance. What about the director? Without searching, how many people would remember who the director is? What does it look like?

The Wandering Earth is also very popular. Who is the director and what does he look like? How many viewers can recall it?

You said that when many viewers mention Zhang Guoshi and Poetry Master, they can also think of each other's appearance, including Xu Ke's appearance... But is that the reputation that these directors have accumulated over many years?

In the entertainment industry, when it comes to the fame and prestige accumulated among audiences, most directors are indeed far inferior to popular superstars.

However, Zhao Donghuai does not regret his choice of director. He can't stand people like Andy Lau, Wai Tsai or Ah Fa who do various program announcements and enjoy doing acrobatics.

"With 2,787 reputation points and 10 points to simulate one year in the future, I can... just brush up my abilities at will!"

"Be generous and play a 50-year future life simulation in one go. It's only 500 points. It's paid! What's more, New World is still being released. Today is only the 12th day. When it is released on Hong Kong Island, we can go to Wanwan, island countries, and other places in Southeast Asia. screenings, and the circulation of videotapes.”

"Then my reputation as a director will still be further improved, and that should be it!"

When Zhao Donghuai was happy to start playing and deducing the future, as soon as he called up the simulator, he saw a line of prompts appear on the translucent screen.

"You have gone from being unknown to being somewhat famous. The simulator has specially turned on the intermediate level simulation, simulating 100 reputation points consumed in one year in the future. The rewards may contain surprises."

"You can also continue to choose the 10-point one-year junior simulation, and the rewards will remain the same."

"Most of the primary simulation rewards are daily survival skills that normal people can learn and master over time. Random rewards may contain small surprises."

"For mid-level simulation rewards, you have the opportunity to obtain high-end rewards that break the limits of normal humans."

Zhao Donghuai's eyes widened and he was speechless for a moment. Is there an option to upgrade this simulator? ? This is too weird.

However, thinking back to the simulation process he had, the rewards he received, even if he chose one of three each time, piano playing skills, two years of directing experience, unlimited fighting experience, etc., were all as explained by the simulator, normal people It relies on learning ability to learn and master.

Even if the value of day and night battles increases, if a person studies hard and practices hard, or trains rigorously since childhood, when he grows up... his combat effectiveness will be different compared to ordinary people who have never practiced.

For example, boxing champion Tyson, Bruce Lee, etc., it is certainly not difficult to beat a few ordinary citizens.

Speaking of previous simulations, the most amazing thing was that I grew two centimeters taller at once, and that was the only random reward.

Intermediate simulation, with a chance to get high-end rewards that break the limits of normal humans? ?

Breaking the limits of normal human beings!

"I think it's a loss of 10 points once. With my current reputation, I can simulate it for 50 years without losing money... The mid-level reward is 100 points once."

"So, 2787 can only simulate the future for 27 years? But 27 years seems to be a lot. What's more important is that as the new world continues to be released, it will accumulate and grow."

Think about it.

Zhao Donghuai still plans to try the intermediate simulation water, which is not much. Let's try 100 points a year first. 100 is not a big number. Before today, he had used one or two hundred points in six simulations.

[In October 1983, you planned to shoot Lam Ching-ying’s version of Hurricane Rescue, so you bought a Steadicam stabilizer for handheld photography, but found that no one on Hong Kong Island could use it properly. 】

[In November 1983, you invited foreign aid from Hollywood, but the top boss dismissed you, offered various sky-high salaries and various additional conditions, and did not consider signing a contract with your company. After thinking about it, you were also worried You taught Hollywood a new type of action photography, but the other party took advantage of your skills, so you decided to choose two photographers from Hong Kong to use Steadicam with you. 】

[In December 1983, He Qing, the female co-star you signed from the Mainland, lost her father to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and died. Because the crew did not start filming, He Qing took leave and went back to the Mainland to attend the funeral. 】

[In March 1984, you and the photographer worked hard to practice handheld photography with a Steadicam stabilizer. 】

[In May 1984, you and the photographer worked hard to practice handheld photography with Steadicam stabilizer...]

[In June 1984, Lin Baixin and other advertising investors withdrew their funds one after another, and someone took you to court for compensation. 】

[In October 1984, you and the photographer worked hard to practice handheld photography with Steadicam stabilizer...]

[Simulation ends. 】

…………

After watching this simulation, Zhao Donghuai's eyes widened instantly, Damn, I've been practicing photography for a year? ? Is it funny?

Who else is there? That woman in the Mainland who is known as living in the four great classics? Why would he...

The New World was filmed by Ah Fa, Wan Ziliang and others, and Hurricane Rescue was planned, and most of them signed lead contracts with Lin Zhengying and Lam Jieying.

A Min, A Zhen or A Tong are too young, and it is not suitable to sign a contract now to promote them. Are you going to sign a contract now to support the 1980s version of Girls’ Generation? He is not professional either.

He Qing, this beauty who lives in the four famous novels, is just right. She is 19 years old and from the mainland. She signed a contract and supported it by herself? ? For this, just ask the director of Guangdong East to find someone. He remembered that He Qing was from the Kun Opera Troupe of Zhejiang Province, so it was easy to find someone.

Just make a phone call and ask a certain factory manager to help.

But Zhao Donghuai still didn't expect that when he was planning to shoot Hurricane Rescue, because no one could use the Steadicam stabilizer well, he, a great director, was asked to practice it himself for a year? ?

The Bourne Supremacy and Rescue, which created a new genre of action movies in the world after the turn of the millennium, relied on features such as fast editing, hand-held photography, and realistic fighting to rise into the film industry. Then countless action movies around the world followed suit and became the most important genre. one.

Let alone editing and realistic fighting, handheld photography? What camera is used to shoot movies? Is it heavy? If the cameras of this era were not heavy, then movies shot on Hong Kong Island would not always be shot on slide rails.

They all put the machine on the slide rail and push it.

Steadicam stabilizer is a combination of a load-bearing vest, a shock-absorbing arm, and a stabilizing balance bar, which allows photographers to carry and shoot with hand-held cameras.

It can be regarded as a highly human-machine integration device. If you want to shoot ideal video effects, it has strong requirements on walking posture, waist angle, arm ease, finger distribution, etc., and requires special training and learning.

Scientific practice and professional adjustment.

The film cameras of this era were already very heavy, not light. When practicing with a set of Steadicam equipment, it would start at 50 or 60 pounds, or even heavier.

I also had to shoot while in motion and follow the action actors... I'm super weak.

This doesn’t mean that you can carry something weighing fifty or sixty pounds, as long as you can move around, it’s about taking photos while in motion! ! The shots must have an action-like quality that can stand the test of an online movie!

It can withstand the test of watching movies in theaters!

It was only in the 1990s that Steadicam entered the Mainland. In the future, there will not be many Steadicam and Dasi teachers in the Mainland.

Silent for a few seconds, he looked at the reward.

"Whether to withdraw the reward."

"A: Master's physical skills in handheld photography."

"B: You can choose to increase the height of any limb by one centimeter."

"C: Strengthen the waist and add 2."
