The trailer spread across the world through various means and channels, as long as there were Huaxia people around, traces of this trailer could be found.
In a lavish building in Hollywood, a man who looked about thirty years old watched the video with a livid complexion, his face flickering with different emotions and expressions, fully revealing the gravity in his heart.
"Huaxia's special effects production has reached this standard, with no discernible traces of processing. Even we can't achieve this level of technology for the time being," said a technical director standing next to Brella.
Brella, who commanded Hollywood's entire special effects talent pool, naturally understood the technical difficulty required to present such visuals. To say nothing of other aspects, merely handling every detail of the camera work was flawless.
"No, there's definitely something wrong with this video!" Brella said, "Last year, the crew that adapted this IP in Huaxia sought our team for shooting and post-production assistance. We're well aware of Huaxia's special effects capabilities; it's impossible that they could have advanced to this extent in less than a year."
"But sir, even if they sought other teams, there's no way they could have produced such realistic footage. After all, there isn't any special effects team in the world better than ours in Hollywood," the technical director stated confidently.
"I know, but that was in the past," Brella adjusted his glasses, "Now Huaxia is terrifying. Don't forget about their newly promoted VR technology. Recently, that company named Tencent's market value surpassed one trillion, while our internet companies' market value has substantially shrunk. Especially game companies, they're on the verge of survival!"
"Moreover, Huaxia's desert governance technology, I heard they've completely turned an experimental base's desert into soil. This filming location was conducted in that place. Huaxia can't be underestimated now!"
"So, do you mean that Huaxia's special effects technology has surpassed ours now?"
"Although I am unwilling to admit it, it seems to be so," Brella said, "If this trailer wasn't produced using special effects, could it have been shot on location without any special effects?"
"Sir, you must be joking, how could such people exist in the world?" the technical director remarked.
"No, such people do exist in the world!" Brella declared, "In our country, and indeed worldwide, there is another unknown facet. But I am certain, human beings depicted in the footage cannot exist!"
Unknown to others, Brella was also a superpower user, but his abilities didn't manifest in personal combat strength; rather, they manifested in his brain, granting him exceptional wisdom, a more powerful cognitive ability, and a stricter logic capacity.
Otherwise, how could someone around thirty years old control Hollywood's massive industry?
He also knew there are many potent individuals with extraordinary force worldwide, superpower users, and Huaxia's Martial Artists, though their names differ in essence, they all transcend human limits.
But he could be sure, even the most formidable superpower users couldn't cause destruction on such an earth-shattering scale, confirming it was produced using special effects. If such powerful individuals existed in the world, it would have been thrown into chaos long ago.
"Mr. Qiu'er, could you please arrange for some people to investigate Huaxia's shooting base to see their filming operations? I want to know which team could produce such visuals!" Brella ordered.
"Sir, I have already investigated," the technical director said with a slightly awkward expression, "There is no special effects setup at Huaxia's shooting base. According to my investigation, they only filmed dialogue scenes and non-combat scenes there, and this part of the trailer was shot elsewhere!"
"As expected!" With this revelation, Brella was even more certain of his previous assumption. Huaxia indeed created an extraordinary special effects technology, even leaving them far behind.
Now reliant on Hollywood's influence and classic works, their films could still secure a place in Huaxia, but if their special effects technology did not advance, their market presence would soon start to dwindle.
Brella was acutely aware of a group in Huaxia called "trolls" who berate domestic poorly made films to the point of causing self-doubt.
If, one day, Huaxia's film industry fully rose, perhaps their Hollywood special effects would become just "future fifty-cent special effects" in the trolls' eyes.
Losing Huaxia's market could mean half of Hollywood's film industry might collapse!
"No, we must learn this portion of the technology. Otherwise, within a year or two, it will be difficult for us to capture the Huaxia market!" Brella was forward-thinking and farsighted.
Huaxia didn't lack good IPs these days. Every year, there was a large number of hit online novels, once adapted into films, the market impact was no less than their superhero series.
Initially, they could capture the Huaxia market with strong special effects technology and nostalgia, but if these advantages were lost, the consequences would be imaginable.
Thinking of this, he immediately dialed his assistant's number: "Caelin, didn't Mr. Fang Jueyu, Huaxia's richest man, invite me to dinner last time? Please send an invitation back, apologize that I was really busy earlier, and this time I'll host him for dinner to discuss continued collaboration."
"Young master, Brella's assistant asked me to inform you that Mr. Brella found some free time, and he wants to invite you to dinner, to discuss the continuation of their collaboration!"
"Heh, I thought this person was so immensely talented, but turns out he is just someone who sways like a flag in the wind." Fang Jueyu showed a disdainful expression, "Feeling the pressure now, and finally scared?"
If Fang Jueyu knew Brella was a brain-enhanced superpower user, he would surely be more scornful. Isn't his brain enhanced? Then he shouldn't be so brainless, should he? Just recently slammed the door in my face, now turning around to offer goodwill, does he think I lack a temper?
In fact, Brella naturally considered this point, but he was confident because there was still significant cooperation between Huaxia and Hollywood's film market. Fang Jueyu was unlikely to completely sever ties with him.
Yet he indeed overlooked the fact that Fang Jueyu was never one to follow conventions. He had no reservations, as he wasn't afraid of offending anyone or bearing any consequences.
As long as he wasn't bound by morality, he would never be held hostage by it! Even if both markets crashed, what of it? Because in a mere year, he would be the sole master of this market!
Soon, Brella received a call from his assistant.
"How about it, did he agree?" Brella asked, very confident. Considering all aspects, Fang Jueyu wouldn't refuse him.
"Mr. Brella, Mr. Fang's assistant said that Mr. Fang refused and left a message."
"They said, 'If an apology sufficed, then why would there be police? This piece of cake in the film industry has nothing to do with us anymore.'"
