This is not an illusion but a fact.
But how could James, who is picky about details and has deep pockets, tolerate someone else’s set appearing in his own movie.
He must design it personally and strictly control it.
Apart from deciding the theme and inviting a famous artist to serve as the visual arts director, he also brought nearly twenty PhD graduates and PhD candidates from the University of California, Berkeley, to serve as scientific advisors.
In order not to delay these students’ studies, cunning James also established a research project with Berkeley on this movie, titled “How to Apply Strict Science Perfectly into Science Fiction Movies.”
In a set room, two young men and an old man with long hair were measuring and calculating a picture on the wall with measuring instruments.
The image seemed to be a simulation of a binary star system.
Mr. Clark took a glance and involuntarily calculated with his great mental power.
Such a star chart was too much.
How much of an obsessive-compulsive disorder must the designer of this chart have had to include so many golden ratios?
What’s more, the lines that represent gravitational fields, planetary orbits, and the ecliptic plane combine to form an artistic sense.
Most astonishingly, Harrison Clark had seen a star system identical to this one before.
The Egyptian Tribe’s Parent Star.
According to the descriptions of the Egyptian tribe’s descendants, their parent star was indeed a binary star system like this.
However, with the scientific level of human beings in the 21st century, it is impossible to see the Egyptian Tribe’s Parent Star, which is located inside the horizon isolation belt behind the Galactic center and as far as 100,000 light-years away.
James saw Harrison’s interest in the painting and proudly said, “This is the binary star system of the Bonut Tribe’s Parent Star in my movie. What do you think? Beautiful, huh?”
“Very beautiful. What kind of race is the Bonut Tribe?”
“A good and gentle semi-mechanical life race, and they are intimate partners with Earthlings.”
“I remember seeing in the news that the script is an original creation by you, Mr. Diaz?”
“Yes, but it is also the result of the joint efforts of the screenwriter team and me.”
Harrison silently gave a big thumbs up, “Great job, you guys did an amazing job, incredible.”
“This is my visual arts director, Martin, and he designed the star chart art concept.” James introduced the long-haired old man.
“These two… in short, they are young scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, and they are responsible for perfecting the scientific argument of this star chart.”
James wanted to introduce the other two young people but couldn’t remember their names.
Harrison was observant enough to see both of their badges.
The blond white young man’s name was Smith Aslan and the black-haired young man of Pacifican descent was Carter Ivan Lewis.
Oh, a mix of Pacifican and Russian descent, and if Harrison didn’t guess wrong, the young man’s father had a Pacifican surname—Lewis.
Wait … this name…
There was a click in Harrison’s mind.
He recalled a character profile.
Carter Ivan Lewis, born in May 1995 as an American-Russian mix in the San Francisco Bay Area.
He obtained a PhD in Astrophysics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2025 and then joined NASA to work on theoretical calculations.
It seemed like an ordinary background, but the next sentence changed everything.
In 2043, at the age of 48, Leonard Lewis resigned from NASA and went to teach at the University of California, Berkeley, while writing science fiction in his spare time.
Leonard Lewis became interested in science fiction because he was a scientific advisor on James Diaz’s movie set when he was a doctoral student.
Between 2020 and 2025, he was involved in James’s screenwriting team several times.
James planted the seed of science fiction in Leonard’s heart and told him the significance of using scientific thinking to imagine the future.
After creating a number of mediocre works, he began writing the Everlasting Spark series in 2065.
In this monumental work, Leonard used his imagination of cosmic space to the fullest extent and perfectly integrated the profound and comprehensive knowledge gained from his long-term professional work into the novel.
In his story, he described how humans became the masters of the Milky Way galaxy, striving to venture beyond it, engaging in intellectual and physical contests against various powerful and law-abiding hostile races, and ultimately defeating numerous strong enemies to gain the qualification standing in the universe and becoming immortal.
His story was both logical and thrilling, absolutely wonderful.
And most of the theories he imagined in the book could be supported by sufficient scientific evidence in the 21st century.
By the 31st century, scientists were even more amazed to find that at least 50 % of his depiction of future technology in his book was accurate.
He was one of the best science fiction writers of the 21st century, and perhaps also one of the best science fiction writers after the 21st century.
His Everlasting Spark was adapted into a famous movie series, with the first installment “Across the Starry Sky” released in 2115.
This character profile, since the sixth timeline, hasn’t appeared in the seventh and eighth timelines.
Why?
Of course, it was because after the sixth timeline, Master Chen started plagiarizing the Everlasting Spark series, and every time he filmed “Across the Starry Sky” early and released it in 2025!
Harrison thought about it.
Didn’t Leonard Lewis often work for James before 2023?
Perhaps in the sixth, seventh, and eighth timelines, he was already deep in James’s team, and he joined the scientific advisory work for the movie “Across the Starry Sky” early on.
No wonder the previous films felt so good and had such great cinematography, blending fantasy and reality tightly. Master Chen used to think it was all his work controlling the scene as an advisor, but Leonard Lewis, the original author, was also on his team!
Young Liu must have admired the script of “Across the Starry Sky.”
But who knows how he would feel if Leonard knew he himself was the original creator of the script?
In the later timelines, Leonard’s name never appeared in the historical materials of science fiction works. It seemed that after his creativity was taken away, he lost his touch and couldn’t produce solid work, fading into history.”
Alas.
Master Chen, who had been “immune” to plagiarizing, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He felt like he was caught in the act stealing melons in the field.
What’s worse, Leonard was looking at him with worshipful eyes right now.
