Chapter 117

The Third Master thought to himself, people who come to visit always pick a good time.

And you.

You only come when it's almost dark.

If it weren't for the fact that you film movies well, I wouldn't even bother with you.

"Speak, what's the matter."

"It's like this, Third Master, I need a favor from the leadership; I can't handle this new movie of mine by myself."

Qin Yu wasn't stupid.

Apologize?

Why apologize!

Only a fool would want to rub salt into the Third Master's wounds.

It was better to just pretend he didn't know about what happened last time; anyway, it was normal for him to be young and ignorant.

Just bluff his way through it.

Don't ever try to explain.

It's just like with a girlfriend; when you two are arguing, you, a grown man, standing there explaining and reasoning—

What's the point?

If the girl could listen to reason, would you even be arguing?

Either apologize, or just buy something to coax her.

A woman's ears are for hearing sweet nothings, not for listening to big principles.

"Oh~ so there's actually a movie that Director Qin can't handle." The Third Master also realized something.

A slight smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, Third Master, don't look at me like I'm booming right now; it's actually just good luck. Now that I've run into trouble, I thought of you, Third Master."

"I've heard that you, Third Master, are the anchor of our industry and have helped many people."

"Many people say they need you to work for another twenty years."

"..."

Qin Yu let out a stream of words, making the Third Master's beard twitch.

Although he knew this guy was buttering him up, it felt really good.

You're good at what you do, kid; you really have a silver tongue.

But he still put on a serious face.

"What are you talking about? I'm already sixty. Another twenty years? Whether I can even live another twenty years is a question."

"Look at what you're saying, Third Master." Qin Yu said earnestly.

"For someone with your achievements, Third Master, God wouldn't be willing to let you go. I think living to 120 is at least not a problem."

"Get out of here~"

The Third Master rolled his eyes at Qin Yu; 120 years old, wouldn't that make him an old monster?

"Alright, alright, stop with the glib talk, let me see the script."

"Here!"

Qin Yu handed the script to the Third Master and then sat to the side, not at all restrained.

He beckoned.

"Young man, go get me a cup of tea, and don't try to fool me; I've heard there's plenty of good tea here with the Third Master."

The assistant standing properly to the side smiled.

It was the first time he had seen a director like Qin Yu who didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

In the past, whether it was actors or directors, the first time they came, they were at least trembling.

Or at least cautious in their words and actions.

Let alone asking for tea, even when sitting, they would only sit on half the chair.

Fearing they would leave a bad impression on the leader.

And Qin Yu? He sat carelessly on the sofa and even beckoned him for tea.

He was just one step away from crossing his legs.

Treating the office like his own home.

The assistant turned to look at the Third Master, but the Third Master couldn't be bothered and waved his hand.

"Fine, Director Qin, please wait a moment."

After a while, the assistant brought Qin Yu a cup of hot tea.

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome."

Qin Yu smiled as he looked at the tender leaves floating in the tea.

Sure enough, it's great to be a leader.

Qin Yu could guarantee that this tea was rarely seen on the market; it was truly good tea.

It even had a fresh fragrance when smelled.

On the other side, the Third Master also opened the script and started reading.

"The Matrix? What the hell!"

The Third Master frowned, thinking the name was a bit strange.

But he didn't say much and read it first; that kid Qin Yu wouldn't bring him trash to fool him.

But once he started reading, nearly an hour passed.

Qin Yu had already taken the opportunity to drink three cups of good tea.

The assistant was dumbfounded, but seeing the Third Master didn't say anything, he could only properly go pour more tea.

Another ten minutes passed before the Third Master put down the script.

He was a bit dazed.

Shocked by the story.

The Matrix, it lived up to its reputation.

Qin Yu saw the Third Master's expression and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Scared, aren't you, old man?

To be honest, Qin Yu was also shocked the first time he watched The Matrix in his previous life.

If you really want to talk about it, The Matrix and The Truman Show have a tiny bit in common.

That is, our world is not real.

In The Truman Show, this unreality is man-made; in reality, he still lives in a real world.

But The Matrix is different; everyone lives in a virtual world.

Ever since humans developed AI, that is, artificial intelligence.

Through the continuous efforts of humans, AI has gone through more than a dozen generations of iterations and has learned everything humans have.

Including culture, knowledge, technology... and in the last iteration, it even gave birth to emotions.

Or rather, it had life!

The first thing an AI with life wants to do is survive.

This is the instinct of life.

And humans discovered this and decided to wipe out the AI.

This is also very normal; once artificial intelligence has emotions, would it still obey humans?

And in the eyes of the AI, humans are much, much weaker than it.

How could the strong be enslaved by the weak?

Humans thought the same way.

Immediately, a war between humans and AI broke out, although humans paid a huge price.

Even going so far as to use all the nuclear bombs in the world to block the sun.

To make the AI lose its power source.

But humans still lost.
