Chapter 175: The soul of a movie

Translated by me, edited by drpetro.

Ye Qing had also seen how Hollywood filmed their films, hence this idea.

Ding Yin who was the closest was completely flabbergasted. The cameramen were also dumbstruck. Even the cast and crew who rushed over were dumbfounded.

Far away, Xue Ninggong, who was in the of middle filming, was also dumbstruck.

With the tarp removed, an unimaginably small spaceship, with a somewhat aged surface, and that complex engine structure, had them all speechless.

The not long ago shock and awe, once again descended upon everyone of the cast and crew.

Normally speaking, these people were all from the upper echelon of society, so they should be used to seeing shocking thing.

Which was why they shouldn’t be this easy to shock and stun.

Yet who let Ye Qing give them such a huge and massive surprise?

Many people in the crew had already seen the 3D model created by the effects company before.

But now when they requested another company to help with the 3D model, they made that model real.

Every member of the crew dropped whatever they were doing and rushed over like a hive of bees.

As a result the truck was completely surrounded, while they all pulled out their phones to take pictures of this spaceship.

“President, I… I don’t know what to say anymore.” Ding Yin grabbed onto Ye Qing’s hands, and was clearly trembling: “The appearance of this ship clearly looks like something from outer space.”

“I… I… I…”

“Director, director, don’t be too excited ok?”

“How can I not be? Just look at the damn ship, there aren’t even any welding marks at all!”

“No that’s not it ~” Ye Qing’s hands were still firmly held and unable to escapable: “What I meant was there’s no need for you to be so excited about this scaled down ship.”

Ding Yin let loose of both of his hands immediately, while behind him many of the film’s important figures, including Xue Ninggong, had gathered.

“Wait, there’s still ……. more?”

“Are you saying that this ship can do all those effect things like automatically closing cargo doors and what not?” Ding Yin immediately delved into the nitty gritty of things and so did everyone behind him.

“These are all the basics. Things like opening doors, any company with any mechanical proficiency would be able to make.

Wait, what?

That was a question that everyone harbored, but didn’t dare to ask.

“What I meant was this is a 1 : 5 ratio scaled down ship, and was built for the purpose of filming its flight.” Ye Qing then pointed to the giant gaping hole far away: “There’s still six trucks on the road, which is each carrying parts of the real 1 : 1 ship.”

“Which is why there’s no need to be so shocked about this scaled down ship.”

“What did you just say?” Ding Yin was seriously using all the shock that was left in him today.

A real 1 : 1 spaceship?

Ye Qing clearly spoke those words, so there was no way they heard it wrong.

But a real 1 : 1 ship build was completely impossible!

Before the filming had even started, they already had this train of thought. It was just that all the movie prop makers they asked nearly had them give up on filming the movie.

Don’t mention 60 meters, even 20 meters wasn’t possible. This wasn’t a question about how much was being put in, rather it was just simply a humiliation if they couldn’t make it.

Yet now Ye Qing was telling him that a 1 : 1 ratio ship was actually possible and was being shipped here.
