Qin Yi was silent for a moment. "I'm just an ordinary soldier. I don't have the ability to command a fleet. I can't accept this mission."
"What about the previous commander?"
AEEIS's voice was emotionless, as if it was just stating an objective fact. "A large number of Zerg fleets also executed the decapitation operation on the command ship while executing the decapitation operation on the Zerg Queen."
"The commander perished together with these Zerg fleets."
Qin Yi looked at the abstract virtual image of AEEIS in disbelief. "The commander … sacrificed himself?"
AEEIS: "That's top secret."
"The Ansible communication technology we use is similar to the Zergs' consciousness in principle. It can ignore spatial distance and achieve instant communication, but it will also be interfered with. There is a distance limit. We have to ensure that the commander is within a certain range of the battlefield."
"We can roughly determine the location of the Zerg Queen through the Ansible communication technology. The Zergs can also roughly determine the commander's location."
"The previous commander thought that he had completed his mission, so he sacrificed himself to severely injure the Zerg fleet."
"Captain Qin, AS-371-45 team is not the only one sacrificing themselves."
Qin Yi fell silent again. "Why did you choose me as the new commander?"
"We shouldn't lack people who are willing to sacrifice themselves."
AEEIS: "There are two main selection criteria for the position of commander of the Alliance Fleet."
"First, he must have a strong will and be ready to sacrifice himself at any time. What's more, he must be able to make rational and calm decisions under the immense mental pressure of being sacrificed at any time."
"It's difficult for someone who has only theory but has never fought with the Zergs on the front lines to have such psychological qualities."
"Second, he must have a full understanding of the Zergs' thinking patterns and how terrifying they are."
"We need the commander to make decisions on key issues, not to command a specific battle. Making the right decision is far more important than carrying out the right decision. "
"Humans are limited by their life forms. Their original command structure was too inefficient and could not defeat the Zerg fleet. This kind of command mode almost caused us to suffer a disaster."
"Therefore, the commander is only responsible for receiving battlefield information and making decisions now."
"Collecting information, screening information, integrating information, giving specific instructions, answering questions for every soldier … are all done by AEEIS."
"AEEIS is deducing the war at all times and storing millions of war models. Before the death of every generation's commander, his command strategy and thoughts would be learned and absorbed by AEEIS. Through accurate data calculations, it would seek the highest success rate of tactical strategies."
"Therefore, the commander does not need to command a team to carry out specific missions. AEEIS will be in charge of these. The commander only needs to observe the battlefield and make decisions. "
"Captain Qin, the Supreme Executive Committee of the Blue Star Alliance Fleet and AEEIS agree that you are the most suitable candidate for the next commander."
"Of course, it's impossible for humans to place the fate of the entire coalition fleet in the hands of a rookie commander. AEEIS will assist you in a lot of command training. "
"You can waste a lot of time on meaningless entanglements, but every second you waste reduces the possibility of humanity's victory."
Qin Yi did not ask any more questions. He sat silently for a few minutes before standing up. He walked to the only console in the space and sat down.
AEEIS: "Captain Qin, you are indeed the most outstanding soldier in the history of the Blue Star."
"I also hope that you can become the most outstanding commander in the history of the Blue Star."
The moment Qin Yi sat down, the entire space changed.
It was as if he was in an endless starry sky. The holographic image technology covered the cabin walls. He could see the holographic image no matter where he looked.
AEEIS: "The sphere on your right is the 'observation sphere'. You can use it to move quickly and zoom in and out of your field of vision. You can use different gestures on it. Tapping and dragging with one or more fingers can achieve different effects."
"The touch screen in the center can help you deal with the most important information and decisions. Some decisions need to be confirmed by pressure."
"The big screen in front of you will show you a panoramic simulation of the battlefield to help you better understand the overall picture of the war."
"The screens on both sides of the big screen will show some less important information and decisions. You can choose to deal with the content that you think is necessary. You can operate it through gestures."
"The buttons on the left can help you deal with some quick instructions. Together with the 'observation sphere', you can make more detailed and accurate observations and commands."
"Of course, you can also use the most primitive voice method to issue instructions to AEEIS. This is a very good auxiliary command method, but don't rely on this method because human language contains too little information. In the ever-changing battlefield, even if AEEIS has helped to deal with most of the decisions, it could still delay the battle."
"The holographic image will show every corner of the battlefield from a first-person perspective."
"The following is a simulation of the Alliance Fleet encountering the Zergs for the first time. You can use the console to observe the entire battlefield and familiarize yourself with the observation sphere and various operations."
The following content had nothing to do with Lu Zhiyao. It was mainly the space scene. Simply put, it was the first time the human Alliance Fleet encountered the Zergs. In the end, because the various fleets fought on their own, they were quickly drowned in the vast sea of Zergs and were defeated.
…
Lu Zhiyao subconsciously flipped to the back. There was nothing behind it.
This was part of the script that Zhu Xiaoce had given him. Lu Zhiyao was not even sure which part of the movie this was, whether it was the beginning or the middle.
This plot might be a little confusing, but Lu Zhiyao could roughly understand his role.
The protagonist, Qin Yi, was a soldier who had retired from the frontline. For some reason, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. He had to start training with the help of artificial intelligence and serve as the commander of humans against the Zergs.
There was nothing particularly strange about the general framework of this plot. There were actually many similar themes.
Moreover, Lu Zhiyao knew that this movie was related to Boss Pei's newly developed RTS game. Since this movie was also going to be the CG of the RTS game's plot, it was actually a good way to deal with the protagonist's scenes related to the RTS game that players played.
What made Lu Zhiyao more concerned was the role he had to play.
The difficulty of this performance was too high from the script that he had obtained!
In this script, Qin Yi's emotional changes were actually more complicated:
He felt fortunate when he learned that he had survived the disaster;
He felt pain when he recalled the death of his comrades;
He felt lost when the mission was completed but could not end the war;
He felt angry when he learned that the commander had deliberately concealed information;
He felt disappointed when he learned that the commander had died;
He experienced a brief struggle and choice when he learned that he had been appointed as the commander, but he quickly accepted his duties as a soldier …
More importantly, Lu Zhiyao could not use an exaggerated form to act out these emotions.
That was because Qin Yi's identity was a soldier. He had always ignored life and death when carrying out missions. His psychological quality was very strong.
It was also written in the script that Qin Yi's emotions did not fluctuate much at all. He did not have any hysteria either. Most of the time, he just listened to AEEIS's introduction of the situation in silence.
In other words, he had to act out the complicated emotional changes from before with very few expressions.
Moreover, all the plots were basically performed against the green screen. All kinds of cool scenes would be added in the later stages, but Lu Zhiyao could not see them. He had to rely on his imagination.
There was no one to act with, only an artificial intelligence with an electronic voice. There was no emotion at all.
The makeup, costumes, and props were also relatively simple because Qin Yi had just recovered from his injuries and woke up from the hibernation pod according to the plot. It was impossible to make it so fancy.
In short, it all depended on Lu Zhiyao's acting skills if he wanted to film this well.
All the audience's eyes would be focused on the protagonist. The artificial intelligence's voice and the cool special effects around him would all be icing on the cake.
It would be meaningless no matter how cool the special effects were if the acting was not good.
Lu Zhiyao silently wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
He had indeed said before that he wanted a challenging role.
However, this role seemed to be a little too challenging.
Zhu Xiaoce returned after arranging the work outside. "How is it? How are you figuring out the role? "
Lu Zhiyao felt a lot of pressure. "Director Zhu, this is too challenging. I've never tried such a role before.
"To be honest, I'm not confident that I can act well. If this movie fails because of my bad acting skills, then …
"Director Zhu, if you have a more suitable candidate …"
Zhu Xiaoce was a little confused. What did he mean? Was Lu Zhiyao going to back out?
Don't, the key is that we can't find a more suitable candidate if you don't act!
Zhu Xiaoce quickly said very seriously, "No, this role was tailor-made for you by Boss Pei! It's for you!
"Boss Pei said that this role is very suitable for you. You must not lose confidence in yourself. Both Boss Pei and I think you can do it!
"If you play this role well, you will definitely have a major breakthrough in your acting skills!"
Lu Zhiyao was skeptical. "Really? That's what Boss Pei said? "
Zhu Xiaoce nodded vigorously. "That's right, Boss Pei specifically asked you to act."
He had no choice. He had to use Boss Pei now to build up Lu Zhiyao's confidence.
Acting was a kind of ability, but it also depended on one's attitude.
How could an actor act well if he did not have confidence in himself?
However, if Boss Pei gave Lu Zhiyao a buff, then there would definitely be no problem!
Lu Zhiyao fell into deep thought. "Boss Pei trusts me so much?
"Could it be …
"He didn't give me the script before because he was afraid that I would not dare to come if he gave me the script?"
Zhu Xiaoce remained silent for two seconds. "That's right, that's it."
Lu Zhiyao thought about it again and again and nodded seriously. "Alright, since Director Zhu and Boss Pei trust me so much! I'm willing to accept this challenge!
"I will definitely not let Boss Pei down!
"Shoot!"
