I Have A Super USB Drive

Chapter 126: Movie Completed

After Chen Chen’s talk and the audience’s own discussions, most people felt that this sort of compound treatment was worth a shot indeed.

Professor Wang Xi, being an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, would need permissions from the upper echelons if he wanted to go abroad. Chen Chen’s talk was like a clarification for the authorities.

In truth, Wang Luo’s prejudice against Chen Chen was a matter of first impressions.

Chen Chen had graduated from Shangdu University, yet he had established a research center in Namibia and pushed for clinical trials. This in itself would upset some people.

They were upset not because Chen Chen was trampling on human rights, but because it was difficult for them to even apply for a primate experiment, let alone clinical trials. However, Chen Chen could easily take advantage of the loophole there, so they would think that it was unfair.

Even so, these people had automatically overlooked the financial price Chen Chen had to pay to exploit this loophole. They did not care about details like these. They only needed a target and a reason to vent.

Moreover, because this sense of injustice could not be directly expressed, they could only slap on the label of “academic misconduct” on Chen Chen.

Afterward, this reputation of Chen Chen’s reached Wang Luo’s ears, which naturally shaped her first impression of him.

Furthermore, Chen Chen’s sudden visit could not be hidden from Wang Luo. From her perspective, Chen Chen must have some ulterior motive in approaching her father. This sort of situation had happened many times ever since Professor Wang Xi became “senile”.

Therefore, of course, Wang Luo would not treat Chen Chen nicely.

Nevertheless, she had never expected that Chen Chen truly did not want anything, only to repay Professor Wang Xi.

A few days later, Chen Chen sent someone from the research center to bring Professor Wang Xi back to Namibia. Qian Wenhuan took care of that. Chen Chen did not hurry back with them but went out for a gathering with a few of his dorm mates.

Over the next few days, Chen Chen returned to his hometown, Handu, by car.

Handu was a second-tier city under the jurisdiction of Mainland China. It was next to the Yellow River basin. However, in ancient times, several dynasties had situated their capitals here, so the word for “capital city” was in its Chinese name.

Even so, when Chen Chen returned this time, his parents were already staying in a villa in the western suburbs of Handu. Their Volkswagen worth about a hundred thousand had been replaced by a Mercedes-Benz worth over a million. Outsiders must be thinking that they had hit the jackpot.

In the eyes of those relatives, it was probably because the Chen family produced a good son, who started a company in the metropolitan city of Shangdu and managed to earn a windfall through dumb luck, that was all.

After all, Chen Chen’s company was only known in his industry. It was not yet a household name.

When asked about the specific nature of his work by his gaggle of distant relatives, Chen Chen just replied casually, “Yes, abroad, mm-hmm... I work as an ADC in Ionia and sometimes I also have to keep an eye on my AP...

“Yup, somewhere in Africa. It’s no big deal, anyone can make money if they go there...”

In this way, many of his relatives knew that he was making money abroad.

Chen Chen stayed at home for about a month. In mid-July, Cheng Cao also reported that the movie was completed.

The movie had finished shooting half a month ago, but they still had to add the special effects after that, which took half a month.

Fortunately, it did not require many special effects, so that part was quickly done.

If it had been a Hollywood blockbuster that would attract audiences with special effects, post-production would drag on to a year and a half.

Currently, Chen Chen was in his room. He turned on the air conditioner and watched wordlessly as the progress bar for his download reached the end.

Following that, a movie called Deadly Crisis: A Shocking Scheme had been downloaded on his desktop.

This was the original movie file sent by Cheng Cao. It was not released yet.

Chen Chen clicked, opened the video, and started to watch it silently.

At the start, the protagonist Rowling Keith was occupied with a high-tech experiment. There were three other colleagues with him, dressed in the same uniform.

In typical Hollywood fashion, among the researchers of the experiment, there would inevitably be a gorgeous young woman, an old-fashioned professor, and a black researcher with a minor role.

As the plot unfolded, the camera kept cutting to the screen they were looking at, where lines of data flitted by at a high speed. Any audience member who worked in biology would understand that these formulas were authentic.

Just then, the protagonist exclaimed in surprise in front of the electron microscope, and everyone gathered around.

“Look, after a drop of the chemical compound, the IL-1β in the petri dish is inhibited!”

“Not only that, but the Aβ deposits are also continuously dissolving!” the old professor beside him said solemnly, “Keith, we may have made a big discovery...”

The characters kept using these terms that ordinary people would not understand. A professional film reviewer might think that this was a foolish choice. After all, the audience was not here to listen to this incomprehensible talk.

Only Chen Chen would understand that he had requested this to be more in line with reality.

In the end, thanks to the efforts of the researchers, a bottle of blue fluorescent liquid appeared on screen, which they named AD-001.

This name meant that it was the number one drug for the treatment of Alzheimer’s.

The protagonist was then given a mission — to bring this vial of liquid to Los Angeles to the board of directors.

Then, the old professor calmly told the protagonist that this was necessary because a part of the company’s equity had been maliciously acquired by another company. The board of directors had been infiltrated too.

This research institute was a royalist faction. Naturally, they could not let this epoch-making drug fall into the hands of another company.

The protagonist was entrusted with this important role and left immediately.

However, he did not know that, right after he left, a group from a mysterious organization broke in and captured the old professor and the black researcher.

Both of their roles ended there.

On the other side of things, the protagonist did not fly to Los Angeles at once after receiving this order. Instead, he planned to travel by land. Moreover, on the night before he left, he prepared to meet the heroine of the story, which was the beautiful female researcher of the research institute, for a rendezvous.

However, before anything happened between them, a group of villains appeared, dressed in casual clothes that covered a black, skintight suit.

At this scene, Chen Chen’s lips twitched involuntarily.

Why did this attire look so familiar?

This group of villains possessed very advanced technology. They could easily locate the protagonist no matter where he hid. In addition to the directorial flourishes and the editing of the movie, the villains gave the audience a great sense of pressure.

Scenes of a gunfight scene, a highway chase, a counterattack at a dangerous spot...

Various scenes of violence could be found throughout the movie, but the protagonist was just lucky enough. Each time he was driven to the end of his rope, he managed to escape from the villains due to all sorts of reasons.

Chen Chen maintained his patience and continued watching.

At the end of the movie, the protagonist had suffered various hardships and finally reached Los Angeles. He personally handed the drug they had manufactured to the board of directors.

After that, the movie ended in this unexpected manner. Even so, there seemed to be an Easter egg in the movie’s ending. When a member of the board of directors shook hands with the protagonist, the protagonist noticed that this person was wearing a pair of black gloves.

The protagonist looked up, astounded, only to find that the same iconic black attire of the villains was peeping over the person’s collar...

To the audience, this was foreshadowing the sequel of the movie. Lately, Hollywood movies seemed to use this method. If it did well at the box office, naturally, they would film a second one.

However, if sales were only average or they could not break even, then it would be as if none of this had ever happened.

Finally, Chen Chen looked at the cast list at the end with a contemplative expression.
