Chapter 300 Revising the Script

(Fuck! I feel like an idiot for taking so long to realize I miscounted the chapters.)

Ling Luxian also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Rachel. Now that the cooperation was agreed upon, Ling Luxian also wanted to ensure the quality.

After all, it is your usual face that appears in front of the camera. If the script is not good, it will be very embarrassing.

"Take out the notebook, let me have a look."

Upon hearing this, Rachel took out a separation chip from her handbag and solemnly handed it to Ling Luxian.

Ling Luxian suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, "There is no backdoor software on it now, right?"

Rachel's mouth twitched, and she looked a little embarrassed. "I'm very sorry, sir. I apologize for the offense last time."

Rachel's attitude was very humble. She knew that her mission, in addition to reaching a cooperation with Ling Luxian, was to win his forgiveness.

With Ling Luxian's hacking skills, he would have discovered this little trick of his long ago.

Ling Luxian didn't say anything. He took the chip, inserted it into the neural slot and read it. After roughly browsing the contents, his expression became a little strange.

"Is this your notebook?" He raised his head and looked at Rachel with a smile.

Rachel's face flushed slightly, "This... This is indeed the best book we have so far."

If I must say, the script that Rachel took out was not bad. It was also a rare drama in the super dream movie about the monsters and demons in Night City.

When working with Arturo, Ling Luxian learned that he was DMS's Mewtwo repairman and tried their latest release, "Annihilator Ugu".

Ling Luxian almost collapsed after watching it. There was no plot, not even the kind of clips that people like to watch. From the beginning to the end, it was just killing each other.

Ling Luxian said that it was a shame for the producers of Mewtwo to sell such garbage. But guess what, it became a huge hit.

After watching the "heavyweight" Mewtwo in "Ugu the Annihilator", Ling Luxian felt that Rachel's book was unexpectedly good. It was just a little bit clichéd, and as a superhero Mewtwo, it did not reflect the core of a superhero.

Ling Lu tapped the table with his fingers, counting the shortcomings in this Mewtwo script.

"First, the script is a clichéd revenge movie that only touches on the fight against urban crime. Second, the villain behind the scenes is just a gangster? This is too unimportant. Finally, the superhero you created has no selling point."

After a quick look at the script of "Black Shadow", Ling Luxian summarized these three major shortcomings. There are too many other minor flaws to mention.

"But this script is already considered top-notch among similar Mewtwo stories. Moreover, the protagonist is a rich young man, isn't this the biggest selling point?"

Rachel said cautiously, she had her reasons, there were only a few super dream movies on the market that could compare to this script.

She was a little puzzled. Ling Luxian was being too picky, almost to the point of being critical.

But Ling Luxian doesn't think so. The audiences in Night City have never eaten fine food. But Ling Luxian is different. He has watched countless classic movies, especially Batman.

He had already decided that the Dark Knight was a tribute to Batman, so how could he allow it to be so shoddily made?

"No, if the main character is just a rich second-generation, then this selling point is too thin and not prominent enough. The entire script needs to be overhauled."

Rachel looked embarrassed, "This... Then we have to ask someone to revise the script."

"I'll do it myself!"

"..."

What else could Rachel say? She just thought of it as accompanying the prince to study. Being able to make friends with someone like Ling Luxian, it didn't matter even if the project collapsed.

Ling Luxian thought about it carefully and decided that he couldn't just copy the plot of The Mystery of the Swordsman, but he could make some slight changes.

Thinking of this, he turned around and asked Xiang Saul and the others, "Do you want to play a cameo role?"

Thor shook his head repeatedly, "Forget it, I am the leader of..., it is not easy for me to show my face in public."

Thor originally wanted to say the name of Adecardo, but when he thought there was an outsider here, he hesitantly said the name of the tribe.

"What about you, Cassidy?"

Ling Luxian looked at Cassidy. This old cowboy image was good, and he really had a western flavor. Playing a western sheriff might be a good choice.

Cassidy pulled up the brim of his hat and said, "You can do whatever you want as long as it doesn't hold you back."

Panam was eager to try it out, as she had never experienced anything as new as photographing Mewtwo.

"That's okay with me too."

Ling Luxian nodded and expressed his thoughts.

"The protagonist is just a second-generation rich man, which is not enough. We can add a more contrasting label, non-killingism. Only punish, not kill."

Rachel was shocked. In today's super dream movies, no matter whether they are so-called good guys or bad guys, there has never been one who doesn't kill people.

"But can you still be considered a superhero if you don't kill people?"

Ling Luxian turned to look at Rachel, and instead of answering, he asked, "If the protagonist of Mewtwo only punishes people but doesn't kill them, would you be interested in seeing it?"

Ling Luxian's question left Rachel dumbfounded.

Rachel thought about it carefully and said, "You know what, if there really is such a Mewtwo protagonist, I really want to see how things will develop next."

Ling Luxian nodded, "Yes, this is the contrast, and the contrast is the selling point."

People are curious about novelty, and after seeing so many curious Mewtwo, the people in Night City have started to find the serious Mewtwo novelty.

Movies like Annihilator are pure sensory stimulation, and the players are all dirty. But if you watch too much of this kind of intense sensory stimulation, you will get aesthetic fatigue.

A non-killing hero can definitely fight his way out of this situation.

"The gang drama in Rachel's script can be put in the first scene as the beginning of the protagonist's revenge. And in this scene, Cassidy can be added."

Ling Luxian has already thought of what image Cassidy should be, that is McCree. With Cassidy's gun skills, combined with Sian Westin or Korenchikov, it is entirely possible to create the effect of McCree's ultimate move.

"An old-school righteous sheriff meets an alternative hero who has just made his debut. It's wonderful that they get to know each other through fighting!" Rachel's eyes lit up.

"Cassidy can ask me, since you are a superhero, what abilities do you have? At this time, I will reply, I'm rich. Rachel, what do you think the effect will be?"

Rachel became even more excited when she heard Ling Luxian's idea. She had already begun to imagine a scenario where Mewtwo would sell well and she would get a promotion and a raise.

"So cool! It hits the point and is cool enough. I believe this will become the most classic line, bar none."
