Chapter 407 I can’t tell the difference, I really can’t tell the difference!
What is true immersion?
It's a play within a play within a play, so you can't tell the difference.
You know that you are acting as an extra, but the problem is that when you act as an extra, the role you play is also an "extra".
The director who assigns you tasks is actually a director, but he is also a "director" in the play.
Even if there is something that the player cannot control, it can still be counted as "reasonable content".
It's really easy to get carried away.
Just like the guy reading the newspaper, he is in a trance now.
He and Zheng Yuanxian had the same task, and the director explained four things.
The first one is to go with Zheng Yuanxian to find ink and printing presses, concoct fake news, and make fake newspapers. Change the picture of "Truman's Father" being taken away into a picture of "other homeless people" being taken away.
This can actually be seen as being on a mission.
But the second time, when Truman passed by the newsstand today, he pressed Truman next to the TV series poster of "New Paradise: Wangxian" and successfully placed an advertisement.
This task, when I read the newspaper, I was a little confused whether it was needed for the plot or whether it was really an advertisement for "New Paradise·Wangxian".
They are not the only ones who have the task of advertising. People in other groups also have similar tasks.
However, anyone who has watched the original version of "The Truman Show" knows that Truman's wife is the king of advertising.
As the plot continues to advance, Truman's mother and his wife accompany him to look through the photos, hoping to dispel his thoughts of escaping through family and relationships.
In the original version, while looking through the photos, Truman discovered that when his wife took wedding photos, her index and middle fingers crossed to make a cross.
This is asking God to forgive her for her lies, that is to say, this marriage is a sham.
However, although many people in China believe in this religion, very few people know the meaning of this action. Therefore, Xu Xiyu changed it directly.
The way to change it is also very simple.
When Truman looked through the photos, he accidentally saw the words "Li x Chu" on the back.
Ever since, the next day, Truman wanted to talk to his wife Amei.
But Amei didn't want to talk to him and hurriedly went out on the pretext of having surgery.
At this time, before Amei went out, he suddenly said: "Then be careful on the road, Li Fangyuan."
Truman screamed vaguely, but Li Fangyuan tensed up obviously, and then she pretended to be confused with a stiff face: "Who is Li Fangyuan?"
Seeing that he shouted the three words "Li Fangyuan" so vaguely, his wife could clearly answer the question.
Truman's expression changed, he shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I may be too tired."
"I knew you must be too tired." Li Fangyuan said, stepping back from the door. "Long-term energy, sore waist and legs, most likely due to insufficient kidney qi."
After saying that, she took out a bottle of "Huiren Shenbao Tablets" from her bag.
He turned around, showed a very professional smile to the camera, held the Shenbao tablets in both hands, and read out a classic advertising slogan: "Huiren Shenbao, if it's good for him, it's good for me too!"
With a "bang~" sound, Truman angrily slapped the Huiren Shenbao Tablet in Li Fangyuan's hand: "Why, why do you always talk to the air? What on earth are you doing?!"
Li Fangyuan did not answer Truman's question, but quickly picked up the Huiren Shenbao tablets and placed them on the table.
He continued to face Truman: "You are tired, take some Shenbao tablets and have a rest. I'm going to work."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out.
An angry and helpless Truman was left standing there.
The next second, Li Fangyuan came back again.
When she came back, she did not speak to Truman, but turned the bottle of Shenbao Tablets. Because the bottle was not placed straight enough, she had to adjust the angle so that the product label faced the camera.
This action made the audience watching at this time feel waves of ridiculous feelings.
"Good guy, what the hell! This Li Fangyuan is still a human being. Meng Chengming is like this. How can she still care about this crappy advertisement of hers?" Cheng Yunqing couldn't help complaining after seeing this.
Obviously, her emotions have been aroused.
Hu Ningtian looked at Xu Xiyu with a surprised look on his face and said, "Did Huiren Shenbao give me the money?"
"Yes, even the slogan 'Huiren Shenbao, it's good for him, it's good for me too' was something I came up with for them." Xu Xiyu couldn't help laughing as he said that.
"Pfft~~Hehehehe..." After his words fell, Hu Ningwei couldn't hold herself any longer.
"Are you laughing your ass off? Little brat, is this a topic you should be involved in?" Hu Ningtian couldn't help but complain.
"I've grown up a long time ago." Hu Ningwei wrinkled her nose and snorted.
Her words almost made Hu Ningtian fuck Hongwen.
Because the first reaction in his mind was, let alone his sister and grandson Xu Xiyu, they have already done something that adults can do, right?
I really can't accept this.
Perhaps realizing that he was thinking wrongly, Xu Xiyu brought the topic back with a smile and said: "Not only Huiren Shenbao, but also all the advertisements that appeared here gave me money."
"In other words, you have already recovered the cost of this performance?" Cheng Yunqing asked with interest.
"Yes, I should say, I made a lot of money." Xu Xiyu raised the corner of his mouth.
Without waiting for a reply, he continued: "More importantly, advertising here is a reasonable behavior and even a necessary setting to promote emotions and plot.
Coupled with Lao Meng's performance and real-time reactions, the more advertisements are played, the more indignant the audience will be, just like you were just now.
In this case, Lao Meng, who had fully reacted, could instigate tourists in batches. Let them help you escape.
In this way, the game has entered the second stage, and each group of tourists feels that they are the only team in the game helping Lao Meng.
These different teams have different covert missions and will receive different souvenirs. In this way, when Lao Meng successfully escapes in the end, they will have a huge sense of accomplishment and positive feedback. ”
Hearing his arrangement, Hu Ningtian couldn't help but said: "Xiyu, I can't help but sigh recently. I think you are really the person who was born to eat this bowl of rice."
"That's true." Cheng Yunqing nodded in approval.
Hu Ningwei didn't say anything, because her eyes were almost filled with stars.
Just when he was looking at the stars, Hu Ningtian thought of another thing.
I saw him say: "Hey, if the more advertisements are played, the more indignant the audience will be. Then is it possible for the audience to vent their indignation in this drama to real brands?"
"Yes, it's really possible. Just like me, I might get angry when I see Huiren Shenbao in the future." Cheng Yunqing added with a smile.
After Xu Xiyu heard what they said, his smile deepened: "You're right. In the setting, the audience of "The Truman Show" is all-round. Can the audience at the scene be all-round now? ”
"What do you mean, do you have a backup plan?" Hu Ningtian asked curiously.
"Of course, otherwise, how could I have the nerve to charge them so much money just for advertising in this theater?" Xu Xiyu laughed. "Don't show off, what's the back-up?"
"I can't explain it in one or two sentences. You will know it later." Xu Xiyu said and looked at his watch.
Time passed slowly as several people chatted.
The performances in the theater continued to advance. As night fell, the plot came to an end.
With the help of all the "tourists", Truman successfully deceived the director team, got on a boat and went to sea.
The lights and sound effects were on full blast, with lightning, thunder, and rumbling sounds.
Whether it was the audience outside or the audience inside, their eyes were all focused on the screen at this time.
Watching Truman overcome his fear of the sea, he successfully reached the edge of the studio and found the way out.
Even Zheng Yuanxian became a little excited.
More than 4 hours of immersive experience was enough for his emotions to completely follow the plot.
Even when he occasionally remembered the purpose of his coming here, he would comfort himself by saying, "If you don't sink in and experience it, how can you collect the most authentic information?"
With this thought in mind, he works the hardest on his tasks.
Don't ask, asking is just collecting materials. You are not here to play, but to work. Can you not be serious about your work?
He was serious, and Meng Chengming was even more serious. More than four hours of high-intensity performance made him a little tired.
But he really enjoyed his performance.
Now, the curtain call is coming soon, and I have to give a perfect performance.
"In case I never see you again, I wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good evening!"
Truman on the screen, after saying this line, stood in front of the door and made a curtain call bow to the camera.
Along with this action, there was a "boom", and the tourists inside the venue, the audience outside the venue, and the crew all applauded without exception.
Some of the more sentimental female "extra actors" even had sore noses at this moment, covering their faces and crying.
This is not an exaggeration. Many people are moved by the content of the movie when they watch it. What’s more, participating in a performance this time brings a huge emotional feedback.
But they didn't know that the show wasn't over yet.
Truman on the screen opened the door and walked in without any hesitation.
At the same moment, a door was pushed open on the lower left side of the big screen in the square. Truman walked out of the door and stood in front of all the audience outside the square.
Indescribable.
It is really difficult for the audience to describe the feeling at this time.
Seeing Meng Chengming walking out, everyone felt goosebumps coming out.
There were cheers, applause, and even whistles.
But Meng Chengming turned a deaf ear and turned his head in disbelief to look at the screen, which was playing him simultaneously.
Approaching, touching, looking up, looking at himself on the screen, he was filled with emotions.
Then, he slowly turned around and looked around at the audience cheering for him, his expression at a loss and his body tense.
At this moment, he really felt like he had stepped out of Truman on Taoyuan Island.
Looking directly at the real world for the first time;
Meeting a real-world audience for the first time.
The audience quickly realized that this performance was not over yet.
Ever since, everyone quickly silenced with a tacit understanding.
The scene became quiet for a moment.
Suddenly, a soft cry came: "Chengming!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw a beautiful figure emerging from the auditorium. It turned out to be true love Li Shanling. She quickly ran over and hugged Meng Chengming.
"Shi Ya!" There was some surprise on Meng Chengming's face.
At this moment, thunderous applause erupted again, because everyone felt that this was the real curtain call.
Truman came to the real world and gained true love.
This is a wonderful ending.
Driven by this thought, various voices of praise also sounded one after another.
"Teacher Meng, awesome!!!"
"What a great performance!"
"Actor!! Actor!! Actor!!!"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Li Shanling broke away from Meng Chengming's arms and pulled him to bow to the audience to thank her.
After thanking her, she waved to the distance, and a high-end electric car recently released by BYD drove over.
Then, amidst the cheers of the audience, Li Shanling, who was wearing a microphone, suddenly introduced: "Chengming, this is the latest research and development of BYD..."
Quiet.
The audience at the scene gradually became quiet as Li Shanling kept introducing.
"Let's go, let's get in the latest model of Beadi and start a new life." As she said that, she pulled Meng Chengming, who looked in disbelief, into the car.
Looking at the car gradually going away, the audience at the scene also came back to their senses.
Damn it, this is where "The Truman Show" truly ends?
Satire.
Full of sarcasm.
But the aftertaste is long.
How can there be a happy ending?
How can you find true love after escaping?
Outside, it’s just a bigger Taoyuan Island!
The audience who reacted were really excited now.
As mentioned before, someone was broadcasting the live broadcast to the screen, so the Internet quickly became excited.
