[Entertainment + black technology + military industry + satisfying wish fulfillment] You said you were making a sci-fi movie, so why did you actually build Iron Man?
"Chinese sci-fi is a joke!"
Reborn in 2005, Lin Xian is publicly humiliated by industry heavyweight Feng Gang, who dismisses his work as having "five-cent special effects." Lin fires back at the whole room and stakes everything on a bet!
Who says you need a green screen to make sci-fi? Who says special effects have to be computer-generated?
After binding himself to the [Black Technology Director System], Lin Xian decides to go big: Forget special effects. I'll build the real thing!
He starts by radically reworking "Iron Man". In an era when special effects are still crude, Lin Xian holes up in an abandoned textile mill and hand-builds the Mark I out of scrap metal!
A miniature palladium arc reactor? Build it!
An exoskeleton-powered suit of armor? Build it!
A high-energy pulse cannon in the palm? Build it!
When the movie comes out, the entire internet mocks it as "shoddily made," but audiences are left stunned in theaters by the painfully realistic look and feel of the metal!
Feng Gang: "These effects... even Hollywood couldn't pull this off!"
A military bigwig studies the figures on the big screen, lost in thought. "Wait, those reactor readings are live? Investigate! Find out everything about this director!"
When special police storm the set, Lin Xian raises his hands and puts on an innocent face. "Officers, I'm really just a filmmaker. That's just a prop!"
From "Iron Man" to "Pacific Rim", from aerospace carriers to two-dimensional foil.
Watch Lin Xian use filmmaking as a cover for military engineering, take the global entertainment industry by storm with one "documentary" after another, and rise to the pinnacle of technology!
