Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore Chapter 483: Teacher Songzhe’s Prosthetic Limb

However, although He Jinnian had already arrived in Shanghai with the production team, filming couldn't begin imdiately.

After all, to shoot such a large-scale sci-fi film, the necessary preparatory work was indispensable.

The next day, Xiao He ca to the studio temporarily rented by the production team to begin the difficult process of body casting.

Body casting involved creating a 1:1 human model, then based on filming requirents, manufacturing the various component parts of the cha shell, such as chanical arms, chanized transforming weapons, chanical external helts, and so on. Finally, everything would be assembled, details added, chanical joints processed, and lighting installed to perfect the overall appearance.

The advantage of this approach was that even in close-up shots, the tallic texture, patterns, and light reflections of the machinery would appear more realistic. The physical interaction when actors wore the suits would also be more natural, with smoother action transitions. This would reduce the need for extensive post-production CG repairs and allow the actors in opposite scenes to feel more imrsed.

The only person who might find it particularly arduous was Xiao He himself.

He needed to repeatedly undergo casting adjustnts, ensure he maintained his physique to keep the model consistent, and simultaneously begin weight training.

The general content of this weight training was that Xiao He needed to strap heavy sandbags to his arms, legs, and back, then perform walking back and forth and basic martial arts movents.

This was essentially simulating the chanical combat state during filming in advance.

And this training was unavoidable for Shu Han as well.

Although his six-to-seven-ter-tall cha robot was created with post-production special effects, Shu Han also had to wear many sets of flight devices and combat suits in the early stages. Furthermore, the number of tis he'd be doing wire work wouldn't be much less than Xiao He's, making him a major highlight of the fight scenes as well.

And so, the two brothers in misery began their bitter tornt at the martial arts hall once again.

Leading them was still Xiao He's previous martial arts teacher, Song Zhe.

Song Zhe was the sword techniques teacher who had lost an arm during a mission. Although his body had a disability, it didn't affect his teaching quality. Over the years, Xiao He had learned many things from him, including not only sword techniques and martial arts, but even so basic combat techniques from other countries.

And this ti, Song Zhe was once again going to lead Xiao He and the others in training for the film's combat scenes in advance.

-

On this day, Xiao He saw Song Zhe voluntarily attach a prosthetic arm to his own arm for the first ti.

In the past, when movents were large in amplitude, wearing a prosthetic would actually affect flexibility and easily place a burden on the body. Therefore, Song Zhe rarely appeared wearing his prosthetic during daily teaching sessions. Xiao He had already grown accustod to this and didn't give his disability a second thought at all.

It wasn't until this ti, seeing Song Zhe's arm filled with a chanical texture, that Xiao He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Wow, that's so cool, Teacher Song."

In the plot of "Super Spaceti Confrontation," the assassin A played by Xiao He possessed a fully weaponized, freely transforming chanical arm that could switch between different forms at any ti to et combat needs in various situations.

To better research the combat modes of the chanical arm for the later stages, Song Zhe was also very professionally cooperating with the production team's requirents by wearing his own prosthetic.

However, Song Zhe, who rarely used his prosthetic in daily life, couldn't help but show a trace of loss and lancholy on his face when he saw the chanically-textured arm replacing his empty right hand.

But this emotion didn't last long before a clamor of voices ca from outside the practice room.

Imdiately after, Pu Rong pushed the door open and walked in together with Shu Han.

"Woo-hoo~"

This martial arts hall belonged to Pu Rong's family, and with Song Zhe as the resident teacher here, their relationship was naturally very good. So when Pu Rong saw Song Zhe's prosthetic, he directly let out an exaggerated whistle, "Brother Song, you finally decided to wear it? I told you, you should wear it from ti to ti. If you don't use this chanical thing for a few days, problems easily arise—sticking here, jamming there. On the contrary, you need to use it regularly to keep it new!"

"Mm."

Song Zhe raised his arm and waved it. The tallic prosthetic glead with an impersonal, cold light under the illumination.

"How co you're here, kid?"

Xiao He greeted him with a smile.

"Heh heh, I successfully recomnded myself yesterday, so I ca to join you guys!"

Pu Rong laughed especially brightly, then even winked at Xiao He, "And thanks for the lead, Brother Xiao."

Recently, when coming to the martial arts hall to practice, Xiao He had casually ntioned it to Pu Rong.

Pu Rong, who was currently worried about not having any new projects to film, decisively swallowed his pride and went to recomnd himself to Director He as soon as he heard Xiao He's production team was short on people. He successfully interviewed for a relatively important role.

And so, the practice squad gained another fierce addition.

However, everyone who had just arrived was very interested in Song Zhe's prosthetic.

Xiao He also observed it carefully from the side.

The people he knew were basically all physically whole, so Xiao He had almost no contact with such things. Usually, when walking on the street, if he encountered soone with a physical disability, he would also subconsciously avert his gaze to avoid his stare causing them pressure. This was the first ti Xiao He had been in close contact with and observed such a high-tech textured prosthetic.

It wasn't a cold, decorative object, but a true "chanical hand" that could actually move its fingers and perform basic grasping actions. Although the movents still carried a chanical stiffness, its flexibility far exceeded Xiao He's stereotypical impression of such prosthetics.

Shu Han clearly shared the sa kind of amazent as Xiao He, "I'd heard before that prosthetics capable of flexibly moving fingers had already appeared, but I didn't expect their sensitivity and convenience to be this high."

"This is a myoelectric prosthetic, currently one of the mainstream mid-to-high-end functional prosthetics. It's a type with relatively strong practicality. The main principle is to use the tiny myoelectric signals generated when the residual limb muscles contract to drive the prosthetic to perform corresponding actions."

Song Zhe gave a brief introduction.

However, most of these prosthetics on the market now co paired with silicone simulated hand skins, making their appearance quite realistic and fitting the daily usage needs of the general public. The one on Song Zhe's hand, however, directly exposed the cold, chanical-textured interior. Its overall technological level was higher than those on the market.

Xiao He guessed this was probably a model not currently available on the market.

And if Song Zhe could use it, it should be because of his previous identity.

Since Song Zhe didn't ntion it, Xiao He didn't ask either. He just curiously reached out and shook hands with Song Zhe's prosthetic, then inquired, "Can we try arm wrestling with it?"

Song Zhe hesitated for a mont but still refused Xiao He's suggestion, "Sorry, this arm isn't very suitable for that."

Pu Rong also helped explain from the side, "This prosthetic was sent over by Brother Song's friend for testing a while ago, so Brother Song doesn't fully understand its functionalities yet either. For safety's sake, it's better not to try sothing like that."

Their responses basically confird Xiao He's guess.

It was indeed a prosthetic model not currently available on the market.

"Since it was sent for testing, then let's give it a try. I'm pretty strong, you know."

Xiao He's strength, due to so skill bonuses drawn from the System previously, had beco far beyond that of an ordinary person, but it still didn't exceed the human range.

Moreover, with his recovery power enhanced, even if he accidentally got injured, it wouldn't be a problem.

Rarely getting the chance to try sothing unusual, Xiao He displayed an unprecedented level of interest.
