What do you think? "
Sun Mo opened a bottle of fruit juice and filled it up for Emma.
"I want to drink!"
Emma pouted.
"When you become an adult!"
Sun Mo naturally wouldn't let Emma drink.
"Well, I'm going to be seventeen soon anyway!"
Emma wrinkled her cute little nose. "I want to drink to my heart's content!"
"Continue. How did you answer the director?"
Sun Mo wanted to understand more about the situation so that he could deal with them with ease when dealing with them.
"I refuse!"
Emma sat on the floor and spread her legs. She placed her hands behind her to support her body. "I think he is very talented, but his script is too whimsical!"
"Very talented?"
Sun Mo's brows twitched. "Seems like you need to take a few lessons on the art of deception!"
"Eh? You call him a liar? "
Emma was shocked. She recalled the scene when she met the director. "That shouldn't be the case. Even though he was dressed shabbily and sloppily, it was clear that he had received higher education from his mannerisms."
"All liars know how to disguise themselves!"
Sun Mo was speechless.
What is a movie?
It was entertainment!
Of course, there were also people who made some movies to teach and entertain, but in general, it was just a pastime.
The upper class and the middle class had enough to eat and drink and had plenty of time to watch movies. However, the people who lived in the underground world were always thinking about how to make money and fill their stomachs from the moment they opened to the moment they closed their eyes.
Most people don't have the money or the time to go to a movie.
However, there were still cinemas in the Underground World. It was just that they only showed crude B-grade movies. They relied on blood, violence, and women to sell cheap entertainment.
Showing a high-end art film?
I'm sorry, the people of the underground world don't have a high level of education and culture, so they can't appreciate it.
"So, no matter what gimmick the director came up with, it was all because of your looks and tricked you into filming a B-grade film."
Sun Mo persuaded.
At the very least, he was a director and not a human trafficker.
"Ah? Are the people of society so scary? "
Emma was scared.
"That's right. If he continues to pester you, pacify him first and wait for me!"
In this underground world where there were no legal restraints, Sun Mo preferred to use violence to solve problems.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the corridor, there was the sound of the door being smashed, followed by curses and roars.
Sun Mo calmly drank his wine.
Living in this kind of cheap rental house, this kind of thing was normal. But today, there was a child crying.
"I think it's next door?"
Emma pricked up her ears and listened. After that, she looked at Sun Mo with a pleading look.
"I'll go take a look!"
Sun Mo stood up.
After opening the door, he saw a drunk man arguing with the older sister next door. They were even fighting.
The pair of siblings, one holding a stool and the other a rusty iron rod, were staring at the drunk man.
"Are you guys okay?"
Emma hid behind Sun Mo and revealed her head.
"You're disturbing my rest!"
Sun Mo coldly spoke.
"Do you believe that I will cripple you?"
The drunk man scolded, "Go back to sleep!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched as he walked over.
"What, do you want to fight … Wuwuwu!"
Before the drunkard could say the word 'fight', his face was grabbed by Sun Mo and smashed against the wall.
Bang!
"Are you sober?"
Sun Mo asked.
"Sun Mo, don't hurt him!"
The sister next door pleaded.
"Don't let me see you again. If not, I will break your limbs!"
Sun Mo tossed the drunkard out. "Scram!"
"Fei Suzhen, I won't give up!"
The drunkard wiped the blood from his head and stumbled away.
"Elder sister, what's going on?"
Emma was worried.
Fei Suzhen shook her head.
"Big brother, you're so awesome!"
The siblings looked at Sun Mo with little stars in their eyes. It was like they had seen a superhero.
"See you tomorrow!"
Sun Mo pulled Emma into the room. "Can't you see that they don't want to talk about that man?"
"That pair of siblings are very cute. I wonder what their father is thinking. He doesn't even want such obedient children?"
Emma was very angry.
As expected, men were all trash!
Every day in the underground world was busy and ordinary. Before the boys wanted to save the world, they had to fill their stomachs first.
Emma would also be persuaded by the director every few days, but she rejected all of them. Hence, the director settled for the next best thing. He wanted to film some of Emma's daily life without disturbing her.
"Isn't this what a candid cameraman is like?"
Emma stared warily at this unshaven uncle and warned him solemnly, "This is a crime."
"That's why I'm telling you!"
The uncle carried a backpack and hung a small handheld camera around his neck. "Of course, because I have problems making ends meet, I don't have any remuneration for you. But I promise you that after the movie is released, you can enjoy a share of the box office earnings!"
"Emma, do you need my help?"
The chef came over with a kitchen knife.
"I don't lack money!"
Emma looked at the sloppy uncle's camera and her lips twitched.
When she was in university, she had attended acting classes and visited movie shooting locations. Those movies that were shot with expensive equipment and investments of tens of millions of dollars would all flop. Wasn't it just a home video?
Release?
How many dishes did you eat last night? You got so drunk?
"I have talent!"
The uncle smiled proudly. "That's enough!"
"Talent can let you block a bullet?"
A voice suddenly rang out. The uncle turned his head and saw a young man in a black suit standing beside him.
"Wow, perfect!"
The uncle exclaimed and immediately stretched out his hand to touch Sun Mo.
Pak!
Sun Mo stretched out his hand at lightning speed, pinching the uncle's index finger and twisting it forcefully.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
The uncle screamed, but his eyes didn't leave Sun Mo. Instead, he kept on scrutinizing Sun Mo. The more he looked, the more he admired Sun Mo.
"With your figure and demeanor, it would be a waste if you don't act in a movie. So, why don't you come and act in my movie?"
The uncle's gaze was fervent. "I will definitely make you a movie superstar!"
"Why do these words sound so familiar?"
Emma thought about it. This man had said the same thing to her half a month ago.
"I'm an android!"
Sun Mo's tone was like the coldness of winter.
"It's fine, I just happen to need an android male lead. Oh right, you guys are a couple, right? That's great, you guys can be partners in my movie! "
The uncle tried his best to persuade.
"Eh? Can I? "
Emma was a little interested. It didn't matter if she could get paid or not. She mainly wanted to film a movie with Sun Mo and enjoy their time together.
"Not interested!"
Sun Mo told Emma to leave. He was here to pick her up from work.
"Wait! Hold on! "
The uncle chased after her and stuffed a book into Emma's hands. "This is the script. Please take a look!"
At night, Emma flipped through the script and actually cried.
"What's wrong?"
Sun Mo was curious.
"It's very touching!"
Emma commented.
"Let me take a look!"
Sun Mo could be considered half a literary youth. After flipping through the script, he admitted that the uncle had some foundation in literature. Moreover, from the looks of it, his directing ability wasn't bad either.
There were over ten pages in the script, and there were even storyboards. Sun Mo tried to imagine it and felt that it was very artistic.
"Why don't we go and film it?"
Emma looked at Sun Mo anxiously.
"Do you want to die?"
Sun Mo rolled up the book and rapped Emma's head. "A poignant love story between an android and a human? He really dared to write it. No actor would dare to film such a thing! "
"Why?"
Emma didn't understand.
"Think about your attitude toward androids in the past!"
Sun Mo was speechless.
This was like filming a movie about a black man and a white man breaking through the shackles of race and falling in love freely in the Hope Country where the black slavery system had yet to be abolished.
Leaving aside whether the androids would accept it or not, humans would definitely feel offended. It would be weird if the movie was screened.
If they encountered extreme racists, they might even assassinate the main cast and crew.
"Huh?"
Emma felt a little embarrassed and scratched her head.
"It's best not to touch such things!"
Sun Mo instructed.
If this movie was filmed, not only would Emma be in trouble, but it would also bring trouble to her family. After all, her father was the manager of this city.
"Mn!"
Emma gave up.
The next morning, Emma went to work and saw a package at the entrance of the shop. Hence, she took it in and passed it to the boss when he came.
"Boss, who sent these?"
Emma was very curious.
It was because these packages didn't have the sender's name and address.
At the start, she thought that it was a prank or that her opponent was using vile competition methods, such as the corpses of small animals in the packages. However, after the boss saw the packages, he smiled very gently.
"They are my children!"
After the boss spoke, he brought the gifts to the bedroom.
"Boss has children?"
Emma asked the chef.
"Boss isn't married, but he has quite a number of children!"
The chef was also a bachelor and had been taken in by the boss ten years ago. Hence, he knew quite a lot of things about the boss.
"Illegitimate children?"
Emma thought to herself. No wonder the boss was so poor. He must have spent all the money he earned on child support.
"Stop asking!"
The chef didn't say anything.
At night, Emma returned to the rented house and saw the pair of siblings sitting at the staircase. She smiled and passed a few candies over!
"Your mother isn't back yet?"
Emma waved the bag in her hand. "Why don't we go and have a seat at home? I bought some beef today!"
Gulp!
The younger brother gulped down a mouthful of saliva. Let alone beef, his family couldn't even afford cheap pork.
"Thank you, sister. My mother is back. We can eat later!"
That young lady rejected. After all, her mother had said that the couple living next door wasn't rich either. She shouldn't give them trouble.
It was already very embarrassing for her to eat their candies.
"She's back?"
Emma was puzzled. Why didn't she go home then?
"Mother is working!"
The younger brother explained.
"Oh!"
Emma continued to walk up. When she reached the third floor, she looked at the door next door and her face turned very red. It was because the sound of rolling sheets could be heard coming from inside.
Immediately after, her expression turned very unsightly.
It couldn't be that Madam Fei Suzhen's job was to accompany men, right?
"Come in!"
Sun Mo urged. He wasn't surprised at all.
After washing up, Sun Mo prepared dinner. Emma sat at the table, her expression still a little heavy.
"That sister is doing that kind of work!"
Emma suddenly spoke.
"It should be a part-time job, right? After all, the economy isn't doing well recently. She still has two children to support! "
Sun Mo sighed.
The unemployment wave in the underground world was very big recently. There were many unemployed people joining gangs.
"..."
Emma fell silent.
"Let's eat!"
Sun Mo smiled. "I found a game console today!"
After the two of them finished eating, they sat in front of the television and were about to play a fighting game when a commotion rang out outside.
Sun Mo opened the door.
Fei Suzhen hugged her head and leaned against the wall. A balding middle-aged man with a big belly was punching and kicking her.
"F * ck, you're an android and you dare to come out and sell sex? Do you think I'm easy to deceive?"
The middle-aged man was very angry.
"If I wasn't vigilant, I would've been deceived by you!"
In the corridor, many doors were opened, and people stuck their heads out to look.
"I... I only charged one-third of your normal price!"
Fei Suzhen, who was only wearing a singlet and underwear, blushed with shame. She wanted to climb back into the house, but she was pulled out by the middle-aged man by her black hair.
"F * ck you, androids like you aren't worth a dime. Pui, you're really unlucky!"
The middle-aged man cursed and even spat on Fei Suzhen's hair.
This sentence was a little wrong.
Sun Mo had already understood that in this future era, the technology of androids was already very mature. There were all kinds of them.
Even some rich people would order a certain type of very luxurious androids to solve their physiological needs. The feeling they brought was better than a real person.
Fei Suzhen was a very top-notch service-type android. She was usually a housekeeper for families like Emma's, so she naturally had this function.
This middle-aged man was looking for trouble because he didn't want to pay and wanted to vent the frustration and frustration accumulated in his work.
"I... I'll refund you the money."
Emma begged for mercy.
"F * ck you, do you think I'm someone who can't afford to pay? I just hate androids! "
The middle-aged man snarled as he repeatedly kicked Fei Suzhen with his leather shoes.
"Don't hit my mother!"
The pair of siblings ran upstairs. When they saw this scene, they immediately rushed over.
"B * stard!"
The middle-aged man lifted his leg and kicked.
"No!"
Fei Suzhen pounced over and hugged the middle-aged man's leg.
"Scram!"
The middle-aged man was enraged, but in the next instant, Sun Mo grabbed his head and smashed it against the wall like a walnut.
Bang!
The middle-aged man felt dizzy. Blood gushed out of his forehead, directly blurring his vision.
"B * stard, shameless freeloader!"
After Sun Mo spoke, he smashed him again.
"Who the f * ck are you?"
The middle-aged man was enraged. "Do you know who I am?"
Sun Mo's answer was very simple. He grabbed the middle-aged man's hair and smashed him against the wall.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Sun... Sun Mo, stop hitting me!"
Fei Suzhen pleaded. If things got out of hand, this man would take revenge on her.
"Don't worry, there won't be a next time!"
Sun Mo smiled and comforted Fei Suzhen.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man cowered. "Big brother, can you spare my dog life? I won't dare to do it again! "
"Compensate me!"
Sun Mo requested.
"Huh?"
The middle-aged man was stunned. These androids were ownerless. It wasn't illegal even if they were beaten to death. Why did he have to compensate?
"Seems like the lesson I gave you wasn't enough!"
Sun Mo glanced at the people in the corridor and dragged the middle-aged man away.
