Chapter 536
536 What a pity
Compared to Tao cen, who was dressed in a white tube top fishtail dress that night, Jiang se appeared to be keeping a low profile. She did not seem to have any intention of competing with her in terms of beauty at such an event.
Her long black hair was parted in the middle, revealing her delicate face. She smiled and listened to chessaray’s voice quietly, like a fresh and gentle girl. There was no trace of scheming or ambition on her bright and beautiful face.
Even if Tao cen knew that Luo Yin had agreed to give her 0.5% of the shares in the contract renewal condition with century Galaxy, it was hard for Tao cen to associate her beautiful face and cold and elegant temperament with money.
Other people might not know the inside story of ” the lost city “, but Tao cen believed that Jiang se was well aware of it. However, ever since the premiere of ” the lost city “, Jiang se had been extremely calm. It was as if the two of them had never had any grudges back then. It was as if she was sincerely helping ” the lost city “.
Tao cen’s gaze quickly attracted the attention of some of the reporters present. At the same time, Jiang se noticed it as well.
When she turned around, many of the media present became excited. They initially thought that the two female celebrities would look at each other with some sparks in their eyes. To their surprise, Jiang se merely turned around and smiled at Tao cen in a polite and courteous manner.
Her reaction stunned many people, including Tao cen. When she regained her senses, she smiled at Jiang se. Then, she turned around and lowered her head to pretend to adjust her skirt.
It seemed that the relationship between the two was not as tense as the rumors said. Such a small interaction could not have been arranged by the production company. Even if chesaray had arranged such a scene to promote ” the lost city, ” it was impossible for the two to smile at each other when chesaray was talking about the concept of ” the lost city.
After chessaray finished his speech, the next few segments were soon brought up.
In addition to sharing the interesting events during the shooting with the main creators and actors, there was also the interaction between Tao cen and the crew members of the lost city.
The crowd went back and forth, and the scene broke out in laughter from time to time.
It was only when the movie started playing that Jiang se, who was seated in the VIP area, was ready to watch the movie that had almost fallen into her hands back then.
For the sake of ” the lost city “, she even applied for an internship in the Department of Archeology. Although she missed the film in the end, it did not affect her interest in it.
When chessaray had spoken earlier, many people had focused their attention on the conflict between her and Tao cen. The Chinese reporters and media were probably all thinking of watching her make a scene. He wondered how many of them had listened to chessaray’s words.
However, Jiang se listened attentively from the beginning to the end. She heard chessaray mention the original intention of the film. He also mentioned some of his ideas about things in the film, which made her look forward to it.
The lights dimmed, and the entire venue fell silent. Jiang se adjusted her sitting position to make herself more comfortable while watching the movie before she looked up at the screen.
Like the opening of many Hollywood blockbusters, the beginning of ” the lost city ” was a bit cliché. It was a mysterious organization formed by the world’s top talents, and professor will, who was in it, captured a set of mysterious signals one day.
The source of the signal pointed to the west of the Pacific Ocean. Professor will was curious, so he traced it. He found out that it was not recorded. It was a place outside of the world map.
This discovery quickly piqued professor will’s interest. He used satellite surveillance and found out that it was probably an ocean area, which had not been explored.
The unexpected discovery made professor will very excited. He immediately applied to the organization to go to the place for an inspection.
However, because the source of his signal was not accurate, and the direction of the source indicated that the area he was in might be an ocean, the organization rejected his application.
Professor will didn’t want to accept this result. He tried his best to raise funds and prepare all kinds of equipment. He brought his assistant and friends to rush to the location where the signal was discovered.
However, he had disappeared without a trace.
The ship he rented and the people he travelled with seemed to have disappeared from this world. There was no trace of him in the satellite signal.
The organization was quite shocked by the disappearance of professor will. After the incident, they sent people to patrol the area, but it was still a vast ocean. They also sent people to dive to the bottom of the sea to search, but will’s team and the ship didn’t even find any nuclear remnants.
Since then, the organization’s encryption of professor will’s information had become an unsolved mystery. No matter how much manpower and material resources were invested, they could not solve the mystery.
30 years later, his son, Brian, joined the organization because he wanted to find out the truth behind his father’s disappearance. He tried his best to look through some of the information that his father had compiled. He also saw the set of mysterious signals that professor will had received back then and calculated the direction of the signal’s source from it.
But WeiDU had been searched many times, and will’s whereabouts were not found. Someone had also dived into the sea where the incident happened, but will and his group seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Someone in the organization had once proposed a hypothesis that will and the others had used this set of mysterious code to calculate a spatial node and enter a different space Station.
If Brian and the others were in a three-dimensional space, it was very likely that they were in the same time and place, while will and the others ‘ship might be in an overlapping four-dimensional space.
In theory, the two spaces were like two parallel lines. Time and location were stable, but they were not on the same line. Thus, they could not be seen or touched.
However, this parallel line might intersect because of the mysterious code that will had received. After deciphering this set of code, it was very likely that a spatial door would be created. Once a person or object entered it, they would enter a parallel world and have no connection with this world.
Unless they could once again find the mysterious signal, decipher it, and figure out the pattern of its intersection, will and the others would then be able to find the key to the spatial door and return to the real three-dimensional world from the four-dimensional space.
This theory was approved by many people in the organization. For the past 30 years, many elites had worked hard for this concept, but they had never found a pattern.
In recent years, some people had been dejected and thought that the idea was too whimsical, and the organization had gradually decided to give up on the project.
At that time, Brian had devoted himself to the project in order to find his father.
His father was a very knowledgeable and excellent scholar. When he 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 before she was fifty, but she still couldn’t forget her father before she died.
Before his mother passed away, Brian had promised her that he would find his father. He had a high IQ and excellent academic performance. In the end, he was recruited by the organization. After knowing that he was the son of professor will, he was introduced to the organization to find will.
At this point, the movie almost explained the plot clearly. In the lost city, Tao cen played Brian’s female assistant, a very good Chinese girl, sexy and outstanding, and had a good impression of Brian.
In Jiang SE’s opinion, Tao cen’s status was too low for her to play such a role.
This was Hollywood’s way of describing Chinese female stars. Even an excellent actor like Tao cen would inevitably play such a vase-like role in the film, which was a bit of a pity.
As the plot developed, Brian quickly compared his father’s notes with his memories of his time with his father. From professor will’s past conversation habits, he speculated the way professor will got the mysterious signal. As expected, he intercepted a set of the same mysterious signal and compared it with the signal his father had found thirty years ago. The signal frequency, flux rate, and amplitude were the same as the signal received by professor will thirty years ago. It should be a signal from the same frequency domain.
Brian was very excited by this discovery. He followed the source of the signal and soon found WeiDU, who was discovered by professor will.
This result was a great improvement for Brian. He applied for funds and armed forces from the organization and was ready to investigate the source of the signal.
The organization contacted the United States Military to assist him, and arranged for ship personnel and cameras. In addition to arranging some scientists within the organization, they also arranged for a very good historical expert to accompany Brian.
The arrival of this blonde beauty quickly captivated Brian.
The next plot was for the group to head to the Western Pacific Ocean, successfully finding the space-time node and entering another space.
Unlike the three-dimensional space, this was not an ocean, but a deserted city. As soon as the ship entered this place, it was stranded.
At the same time, many people found 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 had completely become scrap. Even flashlights, lighters, and guns had lost their use. The only tools that could be used were the oldest tools such as matches and machetes.
This place was like a city that had been abandoned in a space-time node, left outside the human world.
After testing, Brian and his team found that this place was very strange. It didn’t look like any place in history that had records of dynasties. It was obvious that there should have been another civilization here, but it had gradually been abandoned with the passage of time.
During the search, Brian found the ship where professor will and the others had landed. Like them, professor will must have found a space-time node, and the ship was stranded as soon as it entered.
They should have experienced the same pain as everyone else, but professor will and the others should have had an even worse fate. This was because they did not have enough manpower, funds, equipment, and other aspects when they went out to sea to investigate.
There were some dead bodies on the ship, but strangely enough, the bodies did not look like they had been dead for 30 years. It seemed like they had been there for hundreds of years.
Since many tools could not be used, and there was no way to identify these people, Brian and his team began to adventure in the lost city.
The rest of the plot was mostly intense and exciting. Chessaray had been famous for many years, so it was a piece of cake for him to film such a work. He had a good grasp of the rhythm. While watching the movie, Jiang se heard people exclaiming more than once. The audience’s attention was drawn to the main character. They were on tenterhooks as the main character’s experiences made them nervous. The atmosphere was rather good.
It was obvious that even though this was a commercial film that focused on adventure, Chesare’s ambition was still very big. He magnified the big picture and didn’t stick to the simple adventures. As Brian’s adventures continued, he began to suspect that this Lost City might be different from the ancient cities that he had imagined.
He and the beautiful professor conjectured that the civilization here might be much more advanced than the ancient civilization.
As time went by, some houses and walls had been covered with vegetation, but Brian still found that the civilization here might have far surpassed the current civilization.
It could be a city from the future that was lost in the rift of time.
Therefore, he boldly speculated that this so-called four-dimensional space might be different from the original speculation of the scientists in the organization. The two were not parallel, but should be at different time nodes.
The time in the four-dimensional space could be decades, centuries, or even tens of millions of years later.
This speculation pushed the concept of the lost city up a lot, and it could no longer be defined by a simple popcorn movie.
In addition to the interaction between the male and female leads in the movie, which caused sparks to fly everywhere, some of the archeology knowledge in the movie was also very rich and professional to Jiang se. It was obvious that the crew must have had very professional guidance during the filming of chessaray.
This was also in line with her original guess that the film required archeological knowledge as a Foundation.
Halfway through, Jiang se suddenly felt a little regretful. If Tao cen had not stepped in back then, and if Qiao Anna’s role in Tao cen’s part still belonged to her, how would she have acted? how would she have been able to play this role better?
Tao cen’s character in the movie was too simple. It was a waste of her beautiful looks, well-maintained figure, and superb acting skills.
She was different from Jiang se. She was not like the Jiang se of the past, who had chosen archeology as her major in order to get the role in ” the lost city “. She had even gone down to the cemetery with the university’s internship team. Therefore, she was the one doing most of the movements. No matter how much she imitated the movements, it would not feel right.
The impression she left on Jiang se was that she was wearing a cheongsam and had her hair tied up. To the Westerners, she was a mysterious and rigid Oriental Beauty. It was a pity!
