Compared with Tao Cen, who was radiant tonight in a white strapless fishtail dress, Jiang Se seemed extremely low-key. She didn't seem to have any intention of competing with herself in such an occasion.
She had long, straight black hair parted in the middle, revealing her delicately made-up face. She smiled and listened quietly to Cesare's voice, like a fresh and gentle girl. Her bright and beautiful face showed no trace of scheming or ambition, and was extremely beautiful.
Even though Tao Cen knew that she had asked Luo Yin to give her 0.5% of the shares as part of the contract renewal with Century Galaxy, her beautiful face and cool and elegant temperament made it difficult for Tao Cen to associate her with money.
Others don't know the inside story of "The Lost City", but Tao Cen believes that Jiang Se should know it well. However, since the premiere ceremony of "The Lost City", Jiang Se has been extremely calm, as if the two of them had no grudge at all, and as if he was really helping "The Lost City".
Tao Cen's gaze quickly attracted the attention of some media reporters on the scene, and also caught the attention of Jiang Se.
When she turned around, many media in the venue became excited. They originally thought that there would be some sparks when the two actresses looked at each other, but Jiang Se just turned around and looked at Tao Cen with a slight smile, with courtesy and politeness.
Such a reaction stunned many people. Tao Cen was also stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he smiled at Jiang Se, then turned his head and bent down to pretend to adjust his skirt.
The relationship between the two does not seem to be as tense as rumored. Such a small interaction could not have been arranged by the production team. Even if Cesare wanted to arrange such a scene to build momentum for "The Lost City", the smile between the two could not be arranged at such an important time when Cesare talked about the concept of "The Lost City".
Cesare finished his words and quickly moved on to the next few steps.
In addition to the creators and main actors of the show sharing interesting stories during the filming, there is also how Tao Cen gets along with the "Lost City" crew members.
Everyone was talking and chatting, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time.
It was not until the movie started that Jiang Se, sitting in the VIP seat, began to watch the movie that he had almost gotten his hands on.
For "The Lost City", she also applied for an internship in the Department of Archaeology. Although she ultimately missed the opportunity to star in this film, this did not affect her interest in it.
When Cesare spoke earlier, many people's attention was focused on the conflict between her and Tao Cen. The Chinese journalists and media were probably thinking about watching the fun, and I wonder how many people listened to what Cesare said.
But Jiang Se listened carefully from beginning to end. She heard Cesare mention the original intention of making this movie, which also included some of his ideas about things, which really made her look forward to it.
The lights dimmed and the whole place fell silent. Jiang Se adjusted his sitting position to make himself more comfortable while watching the movie, then he looked up at the screen.
Like many Hollywood blockbusters, the beginning of "The Lost City" is also a bit cliché. A mysterious organization composed of the world's top talents, Professor Will in the organization captured a set of mysterious signals one day.
The source of the signal pointed to the direction of the Pacific Ocean in the west. Professor Will was curious and traced it, but found that there was no record of that place and it was a place outside the map of the world.
This discovery soon aroused the interest of Professor Will. Through satellite detection, he found that the area should be an ocean area and had not been surveyed.
The unexpected discovery made Professor Will very excited. He immediately applied to the organization for permission to go to that place for inspection.
However, because the source of his signal was inaccurate and the direction indicated by the source showed that the area he was located in might be an ocean, the organization rejected his application.
Professor Will was unwilling to accept this result. He tried every means to raise funds, prepared a variety of equipment, and took his assistants and like-minded people to rush to the place where the signal was discovered to investigate.
But once he left, there was no trace of him.
The boat he rented and the people who traveled with him seemed to have disappeared from this world, and there was no trace of him in the signals sent by the satellite.
The organization was quite shocked by Professor Will's disappearance. Afterwards, they sent people to patrol. The local area was still a vast sea. They also sent people to dive to the bottom of the sea to search, but Will and his crew and their ship did not find any remaining nuclear residues.
From then on, the organization's encryption of Professor Will's information became an unsolved mystery for the organization. Even with huge investments in manpower and material resources, the mystery could not be solved.
Thirty years later, his son Brian joined the organization in order to find out the mystery of his father's disappearance. He tried every means to check some of the information compiled by his father. He also saw the set of mysterious signals received by Professor Will that year, and deduced the direction of the signal source.
However, that dimension had been searched many times, but Will's whereabouts had not been found. Some people had also dived into the seabed where the incident occurred, but Will and his group seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Someone in the organization once hypothesized that Will and others used this set of mysterious codes to calculate a space node and enter another different space station.
If the place where Brian and others exist is three-dimensional space, it is very likely that at the same time and place, the ships of Will and others may be parked in the overlapping four-dimensional space.
Theoretically, the two spaces are like two parallel lines. The time and place are consistent, but they are not on the same line, so they cannot see or touch each other.
But these parallel lines may intersect because of the set of mysterious codes received by Will. After deciphering this set of codes, a space gate is likely to be created. Once a person or object enters, they will enter a parallel world and have nothing to do with this world anymore.
Unless this mysterious signal is found again, deciphered, and its intersection pattern is discovered, Will and others will have a chance to find the key to open the door of space and return from the four-dimensional space to the real three-dimensional world.
This theory has been supported by many people in the organization. Over the past 30 years, many elite people have been working hard for this idea, but have never found out the rules behind it.
In recent years, some people have even become discouraged and believe that this idea is too fantastical, and the organization has gradually decided to abandon this project.
At this time, Brian devoted himself to this project in order to find his father.
His father was a knowledgeable and outstanding scholar. When his father disappeared, Brian was still very young. He only remembered that his mother was in pain because of his father's disappearance. She went to heaven when she was less than fifty years old, and she was still thinking about his father when she was dying.
Before his mother died, Brian promised her that he would find his father. He had a high IQ and excellent academic performance, and was eventually noticed by the organization. After learning that he was Professor Will's son, he was introduced into the organization to search for Will's whereabouts.
At this point in the movie, the previous plot has almost been explained clearly. Tao Cen plays Brian's female assistant in "The Lost City", a very outstanding Chinese girl, who is sexy, outstanding, and has a good impression of Brian.
In Jiang Se's opinion, it was a bit demeaning for someone of Tao Cen's status to play such a role.
This is the stereotyping of Chinese actresses by Hollywood. Even an excellent actress like Tao Cen cannot avoid playing such a vase-like role in the drama, which is really a pity.
As the plot develops, Brian quickly matches his father's notes with his memories of getting along with his father and deduces how Professor Will got the mysterious signal from Professor Will's past speaking habits. Sure enough, he intercepted the same set of mysterious signals again and compared them with the signals his father had searched for thirty years ago. The signal frequency was converted, and the chord rate and amplitude were the same as the signal frequency received by Professor Will thirty years ago. It should be a signal from the same frequency domain.
Such a discovery made Brian very excited. He searched the place where the signal came from and soon locked on the longitude and latitude direction that he and Professor Will had discovered that year.
Getting such a result was a great progress for Brian. He applied for funds and armed forces from the organization and prepared to investigate in the direction of the signal source.
The organization contacted the US military for assistance, and arranged for ship personnel and camera work. In addition to arranging some scientists within the organization, they also transferred a very powerful expert in history to Brian.
As soon as this blonde and blue-eyed beauty arrived, Brian was quickly captivated by her.
The next plot is that a group of people went to the Western Pacific, successfully found the node of time and space, and entered another space.
Unlike the three-dimensional space, this is not an ocean, but an abandoned city. Once the ship enters here, it will be stranded.
At the same time, many people discovered that this place was shrouded in a strange magnetic field. Mobile phones, watches, cameras and other tools that were originally prepared could no longer be used. Electronic equipment became completely waste. Even flashlights, lighters and guns were useless. The only things that could be used were the oldest tools such as matches and machetes.
This place is like an abandoned city in a time and space node, left behind outside the human world.
After inspection, Brian and his team found that this place was very strange. It did not look like a place from any recorded dynasty in history. It was obvious that there should have been another civilization here, but it was gradually deserted with the passage of time.
During the search, Brian found the ship where Professor Will and others landed. Similar to their situation, Professor Will should have found a time and space node, and the ship ran aground as soon as it came in.
They should have experienced the same hardships as everyone else, but the fate of Professor Will and others back then should have been even worse, because the personnel were not fully prepared when they set out, and the funds and equipment were not in place, so the fate of their hastily setting out to sea for investigation can be imagined.
Some dead bodies were found on the ship. What was very strange was that, perhaps due to the influence of the environment, the bodies did not look like they had been dead for thirty years, but rather hundreds of years.
With many tools unusable and the identities of these people unable to be identified, Brian and his crew began their adventure in this lost city.
The rest of the plot is mostly thrilling and exciting. Cesare has been famous for many years, so it is easy for him to shoot such a work and he controls the rhythm very well. During the movie, Jiang Se heard someone exclaim more than once. The audience's attention was attracted by the protagonist, and they were worried about the protagonist's experience. The atmosphere was quite good.
It can be seen that even though it is a commercial film centered on adventure, Cesare is also very ambitious. He magnifies the overall situation and is not limited to simple adventures, because as Brian goes on his adventure, he begins to suspect that this lost city may not be the same as the ancient city he imagined that is not recorded in history.
He worked with the beautiful professor to speculate that the civilization here might be much more advanced than the ancient civilization.
Although some houses and walls have been covered by vegetation over time, Brian still discovered from clues that the civilization here may have far surpassed the existing civilization.
It may be a city from the future, but lost in the rift of time.
From this he boldly speculated that this so-called four-dimensional space might not be the same as what the scientists in the original organization speculated. The two were not parallel, but should be at different time points.
The time in four-dimensional space is likely to be decades, hundreds of years, or even tens of millions of years later.
Such speculation has elevated the purpose of the film "The Lost City" to a higher level, and it can no longer be defined as a simple popcorn movie.
In addition to the seductive and spark-filled interactions between the male and female protagonists in the play, some of the archaeological knowledge in the play also seems to Jiang Se to be very rich and professional. It is conceivable that when Cesare was filming, the crew should have had very professional guidance.
This is also consistent with her original expectation that this movie needs archaeological knowledge as a basis.
Halfway through the film, Jiang Se suddenly felt a little regretful. If Tao Cen had not intervened, if the role of Joanna in the play still belonged to her, how should she play it and how could she play the role better
Tao Cen's character in this movie is too thin, which is a complete waste of her beautiful looks, well-maintained figure, and superb acting skills.
She is different from Jiang Se. She did not take archaeology courses like Jiang Se did in order to get the role in "The Lost City". She also went to the cemetery with the school's internship team. Therefore, many actions were done by her, and no matter how similar they were, they did not feel right.
This role left Jiang Se with the impression of a mysterious yet stereotyped oriental beauty in a cheongsam with her hair tied up. It's such a pity for Europeans and Americans! (To be continued)
