Chapter 80: Deserters

In a huge, empty office,

A personable blonde man bowed slightly to the white old man in the boss's chair with a respectful face

"Director Mark, the third phase of the SEED program has been officially launched, and the sample information currently monitored has reached 10,07823 people. ”

The old white man showed a slight expectation on his face, and leaned forward, "Did you find any seed samples?"

The blonde man shook his head, "Not for the time being, judging from the reaction of these samples after being exposed to prions, these people are all showing obvious zombieization, and there are no seed samples in them that we expected." ”

The old white man frowned, gently tapped the table with both hands, and muttered, "More than 10,000 samples......

After 2 seconds, his gaze turned to the old man in the white lab coat next to the blonde man, with a hint of questioning, "Dr. Will, are you sure that there are no errors in your research logic and theoretical model?"

The old man in the white coat heard the questioning in Director Mark's tone, and his face showed a kind of anger after being insulted: "How is it possible!?

After a pause, the old man in the white coat patiently explained, "The reason why these samples are overtly zombieized is because they contain this gene that has evolved since ancient times to resist mild prions,"

"When the prions edited and improved by me invade the human body of the sample, the human body will respond to stress and symbiosis with the prion to form a set of mutated central nervous system, thereby replacing the original central nervous system and controlling the human body;"

"People who are manipulated by the mutated central nervous system, although they are temporarily slow, become extremely aggressive, and their body's ability to repair is greatly enhanced, and their first order is to inject the prions they carry into the body of an uninfected person, a trait I call "

"But not all of them carry this gene,"

"You also know that most of us Europeans and Americans have the genes of African Homo sapiens and 15 Neanderthals, because 740,000 years ago, African Homo sapiens kept eating the male Neanderthals of the European indigenous people as prey on their migration to European land, and the women were retained as reproductive tools. ”

"As we all know, primitive prions exist in all land animals, and the only way to activate them is, and after the outbreak, even today, there is no way to cure them, so a large number of African Homo sapiens died, and only those mildly infected African Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, who had not overeaten human flesh, survived,"

"Hmm...... Perhaps this so-called overdose refers to 1 metric tael, after all, ancient food was difficult to obtain. ”

"All ancestors who were mildly infected with prions evolved this gene in their bodies. ”

"But...... The world is so big, there are always some people whose ancestors did not experience this biochemical catastrophe, so they do not have this gene in their bodies. ”

"When I edit the modified prions that invade their bodies, because there is no stress response, they do not form a second set of mutated central nervous systems, and they look and behave like ordinary people. ”

"However, these modified prions can change the nature of the proteins in their bodies,"

"You know, all of our organs, including NDAs, are built from proteins. ”

"These denatured proteins are able to rewrite the NDA in our bodies and open the various shackles that God has imposed on our DNA,"

"In this way, even the substance that determines the number of cell divisions is constantly replenished,"

"From now on, we don't have to worry about cell divisions after 5 times, we will die, and our lifespan will be endless!"

"Therefore, the core of the SEED project is to find people who do not have genes in the infected area,"

"And the stem cells in his body are extracted and injected into our body, and after many cultivation and co-transformation, we can become a new human being;"

"Of course, as the most important carrier, the proportion of seed will be very small, maybe only one or two out of 10,000. ”

"Therefore, I suggest that for the sake of the immortality of our human race, expand the area of infection and spread the modified prions to every corner of the United States!" the old man in the white coat waved his arms like a fanatic.

After hearing this, the white old man's eyes flashed eagerly and longingly, and he smiled gently

"Yes, for the sake of human immortality, what is a mere United States? What is a letter of protest from the president?"

Turning to the blonde man, "Explain it, expand the scope of the infected area, I will spread the prion to the entire western region within three days,"

"If we still don't find the seed, within a week, expand the scope to the whole of the United States!"

The blonde man bowed and was about to leave, when the old white man stopped him and said hesitantly

"A clockwork message to the president and state legislators,"

"Just say...... After the success of the seed experiment, they will be the first to benefit, just like us. ”

The blonde man bowed again and turned away,

On the side, the old man in the white coat who looked down at the floor had a sneer on the corner of his mouth......

“cut!”

"This is over!"

A group of actors breathed a sigh of relief, this 6-minute long shot, but the director asked for it to be done in one go, they have already filmed it 7 times, although it is only a literary drama, but the burden on the spirit is great.

Yang Zhu looked at the video and nodded, the three supporting roles found from the Screen Actors Guild of America, although the score is only C-level, but the line skills are still good.

During the break, the old man in the white coat came to Yang Zhu's side and muttered.

Wan Jing translated, "He asked you, are all the theories about prions in your lines true?"

Yang Zhu was too lazy to bother to say, "Tell him, at least half of it is true, what is the specific matter of the prions, let him find out for himself!"

After listening to the translation, the old man in the white coat seemed to be greatly stimulated, and walked away in despair, covering his face and muttering as he walked.

Wan Jing said, "Then the old man said, 'God, is this what you call the sins of your people?'

Yang Chu sneered, "I can't see it, this old man is still a believer, I don't know what kind of reaction he will have when the script is given to him later." ”

The little white rabbit thought about it and persuaded Yang Zhu, "Boss, at the end of the scene just now, it is the part that involves the president and congressmen, and it is estimated that the United States will not give it to you." ”

Yang Zhu said indifferently, "What are you afraid of, this movie was originally intended to be edited into two versions, one for domestic use and one for foreign use." ”

"Otherwise, why do you think I took so many sensitive shots, I really don't know the urine sex here in the United States?"

The little white rabbit pouted, and his own boss became more and more cunning.

..................

Lunch break.

Yes, lunch breaks;

This phenomenon, which is absolutely impossible to appear on the domestic set, has appeared grandly on the other side of the ocean.

The Screen Actors Guild of America has clear regulations on the upper limit of actors' working hours and rest time every day, and Yang Zhu, who doesn't want to receive a piece of paper, can only watch the numbers on his account decrease dramatically.

Venue, food, water, electricity, these are all money!

Yang Zhu, who was napping on the director's chair, was suddenly woken up by the little white rabbit.

"Boss, Ling wants to talk to you. The little white rabbit's expression was a little serious.

"What's wrong, how could his agent suddenly find here?" Yang Zhu was a little strange, still worried.

"The assistant director told me just now that he seemed to have come to terminate the contract. The little white rabbit's face was a little unsightly, and what he was worried about had finally happened.

"Termination?" Yang Zhu's sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

"Bring her over. Yang Zhu's mind spun quickly, and he quickly guessed what was going on.

......

"Director Yang, I want to know what's going on?" After greeting each other, Sister Wen's face was a little stiff.

"What's going on, you mean Ling Xiaoshu's special training?" Yang Zhu looked amiable.

"Yes, I want to know how our little tree offended you, if it is indeed his fault, I will compensate you here first. Sister Wen forced a smile.

"Offended? No, Ling Xiaoshu didn't offend me. Yang Zhu looked surprised.

"Then why, after I came here, I only filmed one scene, and you kicked out of the crew to experience the so-called life?"

"He only gives him $3 a day, and he is forced to arrange so much heavy physical work, and he is ignored by others all day long, and he can't even eat enough; when he called me, he was hungry and empty, saying that he hadn't eaten a full meal for three days, and now he took out the last $2 on his body to call me."

"Where has our little tree ever suffered such a ......," Sister Wen choked up when she said this.

"Heavy physical work?" Yang Zhu looked at Sister Wen with some astonishment, beckoned, and called the assistant director in charge of the matter.

The assistant director immediately shouted, "We just let Brother Xiaoshu experience the work of an insurance salesman, and by the way, go wash the dishes at night." ”

When Yang Zhu heard this, he looked at Sister Wen with a smile, "This is what you call heavy physical work?"

Sister Wen simply tore off her disguise, "Director Yang, our little tree came here to be the leading actor, not to do chores and experience life." ”

Yang Zhu sneered, "Ms. Wen, you really think this is acting on TV, Ling Xiaoshu's acting skills, you can make do with acting on TV, but acting in my movie, he is really a little bit hot, he doesn't give him special training, the audience doesn't admit it when the performance comes, and the box office is unsatisfactory, you bear this responsibility?"

Sister Wen said coldly, "I don't know if the audience admits it, and I can't afford to wear the big hat of the box office; ”

Yang Zhu didn't bother to look at her, "What about Ling Xiaoshu, call him over, let him tell me about this." ”

Sister Wen said expressionlessly, "I have already bought him a ticket back to China, and he is estimated to be on the plane now." ”

Yang Zhu was furious, this product dared not tell the crew and his director, and went to China without saying a word, and did he take himself as a director in his eyes.

At the moment, he unceremoniously said, "Very good, the actor boycotted the show without the consent of the producer and director, this card is big enough." ”

Sister Wen did not show weakness, "According to the contract, the director and crew shall not make unreasonable demands on the actors, and it is strictly forbidden to deliberately harm the physical and mental health of the actors. ”

Yang Zhu squinted at her, "Unreasonable demands, deliberate harm, cut~! ”

After a pause, "Since you tell me about the contract, I will tell you about the contract, according to the contract, if the actor is absent from work or strikes without reason, causing major harm to the crew, the crew can unilaterally terminate the contract with the actor and require him to compensate the crew for the corresponding losses." ”

"Here, as a director, on behalf of the crew, I said that I did not receive Ling Xiaoshu's request for leave, nor did I accept the reason for returning to China that you conveyed on his behalf, so it was determined that Ling Xiaoshu would strike for no reason,"

"In view of the fact that Ling Xiaoshu, as the leading actor, has caused significant damage to the crew's interests, I am here only to announce the termination of the contract with him on behalf of the crew and ask him to compensate the crew for economic losses. ”

"As for the details...... Hmph, let our legal department staff of UOB Investment pull with you. After glancing at Sister Wen contemptuously, Yang Zhu left lightly.

Sister Wen sat on the chair, her face was blue and white for a while, originally she just came to support Ling Xiaoshu, and by the way, she would fight for him something like raising his salary and increasing his right to speak, but she didn't expect Yang Zhu's temper to be so hot, and he collapsed after a few words.

He was stunned for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Won't you just fight a lawsuit?"

Then he walked away in a bit of a rage.

On the other side, Yang Zhu, who had a sneering look on his face, looked at Sister Wen's distant back and snorted, "If I don't have a butcher, I won't be able to eat meat." ”

Then I took out the phone and called out, "Hey......
