When he returned home from X Academy, his agent, Douglas Ford, was already waiting for him at home.

Douglas Ford has a height of 6-6 (about 198cm), a non-kind face, and a muscular body, which is very intimidating anyway. In fact, his appearance is often very deceptive, his personality is very gentle and kind, and he has a very soft heart.

For example, now, he is chasing after M-o and apologizing to it, M-o is holding his arms and croaking for a while, Douglas Ford is very patient to listen to it, it sounds like a chicken and a duck, but in fact Douglas Ford can understand.

He's also a mutant, the mutant who can get Eva out of the ocean, and he has a very good feeling for mechanical things, and this kind of affection is mutual. Therefore, in Gu Qing's house, the first to make friends with Douglas Ford was not Gu Qing, but M-o, and it was rare for Eva and David not to reject this big man who appeared next to their master/husband.

Seeing that Gu Qing was back, M-o rushed over to remove the pollutants very competently, and when it was done, he turned his head to look at Douglas Ford, Douglas Ford raised his thumb with a smile, M-o This guy is quite arrogant, and his praise for his friend is a little head.

However, when Gu Qing and Douglas Ford discussed the matter, it quietly moved over again, hid by the armrest of the sofa and eavesdropped, thinking that everyone had not noticed it.

Douglas Ford pretended to inadvertently retract his gaze and briefly explained Gu Qing's next itinerary. After "First Degree of Fear", Gu Qing will next start filming his second film, "L.A. Confidential", next month, in which he plays a young aspiring police officer, with Kevin Spacey and Russell Crowe as the three of them, who will stage the Los Angeles version of #3 men, one play#.

When Gu Qing saw the script, he felt stunned for a moment, and he couldn't tell what it was about, but he subconsciously stored it. Now for a movie to be performed again after a year, Gu Qing attaches great importance to it.

Compared with the crew of "First Degree of Fear", which is generally harmonious but still has a Richard Gere atmosphere, the crew of "L.A. Confidential" is very harmonious from beginning to end, and after three months of filming, Gu Qing feels that he has benefited a lot.

When Gu Qing finished filming and returned home, he waited for the surging big director, "Titanic" ended filming two months early, and it had already entered the post-production stage, he was stunned when he saw Gu Qing, "You fine-tuned again?" ”

Gu Qing is still dressed up in the movie, with golden brown hair that is more than three or seven points, neatly combed, revealing a smooth forehead and heroic eyebrows. Without the youthfulness in "First-Class Fear", he is a little more heroic, his facial lines are sharp and angular, and he walks neatly, which is very heroic. As he walked, he said, "You can think of this as an external manifestation of my maturity." ”

James Cameron: "? ”

Gu Qing smiled calmly: "I have developed for the second time, are you envious?" ”

James Cameron scoffed: "I don't eat with my face!" ”

Gu Qing didn't refute, in a certain way, he said that he was eating with his face now, he pulled his bow tie casually, sat down on the sofa, and looked at James Cameron: "Something?" ”

James Cameron remembered what was going on, cleared his throat and said, "I heard you recently took a script. ”

Gu Qing said lazily: "Recently, this word is too broad, you have to be specific." ”

James Cameron: "...... Well, I'm talking about the script of "A Thousand Shots", which you are going to take? Have you read the script well? ”

Gu Qing smiled harmlessly: "It took three minutes and twenty seconds." ”

James Cameron choked in his throat with a sigh of relief, "You little bastard is playing stupid for me, aren't you?" ”

Gu Qing turned his head and stared at him quietly, and said slowly: "I just want to see how you are anxious for me." There is also a hint of hoarseness at the end of the conversation, low and magnetic, which makes people feel endless. Then, got an angry burst.

Back to the topic, "A Thousand Shots" is about the near future, when technology is incomparably advanced, and everyone's fate is no longer full of unknowns. When a life is just born (even when he/she can be called life), his/her life path is already determined by guò genes.

Children with enhanced genes bred from fertilized eggs with enhanced genes are "normal people", while children born by the natural union of the husband and wife are called "defective people" because their genes have not been optimized, and they become defective products under the system at birth, and are systematically discriminated against, ostracized and despised - no matter how good the "defective people" themselves are, the so-called inferior genes ignore the others and sentence them to a "death sentence" in the future.

This is the world of genetic determinism!

"This is a very thought-provoking script, the story's description of genetic determinism, and the portrayal of the order and prejudice of the future world after the rapid development of biotechnology is very profound and predictable." Gu Qing praised the script.

James Cameron naturally knows this, but it's not what he's worried about, "Do you know why such a good script has been delayed in getting funding for filming? ”

"Because when it comes to genetic superiority and inferiority, more strictly speaking, the sensitive nerves that touch mutants and ordinary humans. This script is easy to associate and insinuate, mutants with X genes and superpowers are "normal people" who stand at the top of society in the script, and today's ordinary humans are correspondingly "flawed people" who are born to the bottom of society. Gu Qing said without much emotion, after he said this, his eyes instantly became a little warm, and he looked at James Cameron, "You know what? ”

James Cameron subconsciously asked, "What?" ”

In fact, genetic engineering has made a breakthrough since 1973, when two American biologists broke down DNA into segments and recombined it, and entered a new era marked by the 1990 American Human Genome Composition Project. Today's biotechnology can not only be genetically modified, but even further create new species. As early as 1973, the first genetically modified organism was born, a monomeric bacterium, and the year before last, genetically modified foods were introduced to the US market. ”

Gu Qing spoke in a very academic manner, and when he heard James Cameron, he intuitively felt that Gu Qing's next words were not what he was listening to, or asking, "What do you want to say?" ”

"I just want to educate you about biological science." Gu Qing said sincerely, seeing James Cameron roll his eyes, he shrugged his shoulders and continued, "I mean seriously, we are not as far away from the world described in the script as we imagined. Therefore, the upsurge of discussion that will be triggered at that time will be based on this point. I also hope that through this film, mutants or ordinary humans can understand that "the soul has no genes". Like Vincent, the protagonist of the script, the "flawed man", who always tries his best to work towards his ideals, and fights without fear of death or self-protection, is the greatest impossible that cannot be summarized and deduced by the genetic elements that are independently dismantled, it is the human spirit, and it is the hope at the bottom of Pandora's box. ”

James Cameron suddenly stopped talking, obviously it was just an analysis of the script, but after Gu Qing's mouth said it, it felt particularly touching, as if the soul had been gently combed, and then listened to Gu Qing exclaim: "So this script must have extraordinary value to be filmed, what a good inspirational theme." ”

James Cameron suddenly cried and laughed, "This is obviously a science fiction theme, okay." By now, he felt that he was about to be persuaded by Gu Qing, but this was really a sword that went off the rails, after all, the contradictions and estrangements between mutants and ordinary humans were not formed in a day. Especially in recent years, this trend has suddenly intensified under the deliberate operation of certain ambitious people.

Gu Qing seemed to see through his thoughts, "How do you know what the result will be if you haven't tried it?" Whether it was a big success or a waterloo, I can say that I at least worked hard for it and I don't regret it. He glanced at James Cameron lightly, "Aren't people arrogant to young people, so I can understand the mentality of an old man like you." ”

Not every mutant wants to be "great" because of their extraordinary abilities, and then stands on the opposite side of ordinary people, and some of them prefer to be like ordinary people, which is understandable.

James Cameron was furious: "I'm only forty-two years old! Where am I an old man! He took a deep breath after shouting these words, and it took a minute to calm down, glaring at Gu Qing, who had been calming down, "Looking at your confident appearance, what are your plans?" You have to know that from the preparation of a movie to the final release, the joints are not so simple. Even if you're going to invest on your own, wait, don't sue me that you're still going to sell your patents? ”

Gu Qing shook his head and said mysteriously, "I have a better idea." Then, he said no more, and the mystery was bound to be carried out to the end.

James Cameron inhaled again and slowly exhaled: "You know, there is a bed scene in the script. ”

Gu Qing's expression froze.

James Cameron was suddenly happy, "There are still nude scenes, and there is more than one." ”

Gu Qing: "......" Then stand up and leave.

James Cameron wondered, "What are you going to do?" ”

Gu Qing said quickly: "I'm thinking that from now on, I won't have time to come out." ”

James Cameron looked at him as if he was facing a great enemy, so he didn't tell him that there was actually such a thing as a stand-in, after all, a professional actor has to be dedicated, isn't it?
