Chapter 164: Roadside watermelons

Translated by me, edited by drpetro.

Thank you Monkoto for the support.

In today’s day and age, scenes that required virtual editing and sci-fi effects would all compete in their technical skills, and their abilities to display both on the industrial and electronic displays.

When Hollywood wanted to film a zero gravity scene, they could always invite astronaut trainers and equipment from NASA to specifically film a realistic, zero gravity scene.

Domestically, even if there were people who were willing to invest so much, there still weren’t any zero gravity chambers to film in, as all of the country’s astronauts had to go to neighboring Russia to rent their zero gravity chambers to train.

Additionally, as for why domestic sci-fi films were so terrible, well that was because the electronic and industrial side couldn’t keep up.

This wasn’t a problem solvable with money. It was just like how no matter how wealthy you were, you still couldn’t be able to purchase a F-22. Hollywood, which possessed the world’s most advanced filming technologies, also wouldn’t sell or even rent out their rice bowls to others.

Under these terrible circumstances, the domestically made fantasy and sci-fi films naturally couldn’t keep up. It got to the point now that instead of showing off their technical prowess, they were showing off their bullshiting abilities, such that a 5 cent effects scene was the result of a hundred million investment.

Of course, Ding Yin wasn’t one of those.

He was the only one within the entire film scene that wouldn’t get yelled at for his effects.

Of course, don’t think about how good these effects were, as they were barely able to meet the standards of the paying audience.

Avoiding a display of weakness was always a good way to see just how good a director is.

Now that Ding Yin had gotten his hands on two camera movement systems that were more advanced than anything Hollywood had, he would naturally take this chance to brainstorm all the diving scenes he was going to shoot.

Since there was no way to make great visual effect scenes, then he must replace them with high quality, minding numbing shots.

With this thought in mind, Ding Yin just couldn’t wait any longer to discuss pricing with Ye Qing.

Ye Qing gave him a very very friendly price; only 10 million.

Of course, this price was several folds more expensive than traditional film arms, but Ding Yin was still willing to pay up wholeheartedly.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but admire Ye Qing’s money making abilities. Just look at how many millions he just pocketed with two no difficulty, casually made equipment.

This money making ability, don’t mention a nationally famous director, even if the top 10 nationally famous directors were put together, they still couldn’t compete.

Before leaving, Ye Qing called out to Xue Ninggong saying that he had got a gift for her.

“A gift?” Xue Ninggong, with a full body suit of plastic armor, looked at Ye Qing with shrinking eyes.

“A suit of armor.” Ye Qing took out his 3D camera from the Benz, and waved at her: “Alright, stand still. I feel sick seeing this space suit of yours, so I’m going to make a new one for you.”

“Wait, you can make one? Oh right, that’s what those big shots at the Sheraton wanted from you the last time.”

After striking a pose, Xue Ninggong jokingly said: “Just a picture is enough? You sure you don’t need my height, waist size, and stuff?”

“Hehe ~” Ye Qing smiled: “Of course I need it. Text me those later, oh, and don’t forget the other parts of your three sizes.”

“No!” Xue Ninggong screamed.

“Kay, well peace then.” Ye Qing waved, and stepped into the driver’s sat with a smile: “I’ll have someone bring the full metal suit over tomorrow. Of course, this will only be the outer armor, as for the inner clothing, I don’t have that kind of skill.”

“I’m so going to tell your girlfriend about this.” Xue Ninggong bitterly commented: “I’m definitely going to get her to treat your petty little mouth.”

Although Ye Qing had already said that DouDou wasn’t his girlfriend, Xue Ninggong believed that this was pretty much set in stone. As no matter how one saw then, they didn’t look like normal friends whatsoever.

Having turned the car around, Ye Qing left laughing.

The two trailer beds also left through the way they came, by the giant gap in the south.

Having left the dried up lake, Ye Qing drove with his sunglasses-like data glasses.

As for the two trailer beds, Ye Qing didn’t bother waiting as he roared off.

The land here was all governed by a township, hence why there were farm fields as far as the eye could see. If it wasn’t for just how damn hot it was outside, Ye Qing would’ve definitely rolled down his windows and enjoyed the peaceful views.
