A silver-white, eggshell-shaped home aircraft hovers above the ground. The aircraft's futuristic exterior has been modified, and its dome has an undulating wave-like shape.
The semi-transparent material allows passengers to see the scenery above their heads. When the aircraft brakes suddenly, pulses are emitted from both ends, and red streaks of light rapidly swirl around the aircraft. Just looking at it is incredibly cool, not to mention the celebrities who participated in the filming.
"Oh my god! If I could post this on WeChat Moments, I would have taken a picture and shown it to my mom!"
"This thing can really fly! I always thought it was like a train, with a string attached to it to fly... Has the country's science and technology become this advanced?"
"I'm so poor, I can't even afford a flying machine..."
"I just heard from the assistant director that Honghe has booked two days' worth of filming, and they're going to film a fireworks show tonight. Will we get some shots too?"
"Be content. It's a huge advertisement, and we're lucky they even got to see our faces. If people ask us how we started out, we can just say that our first screen appearance was in the Honghe Technology advertisement with director Zhang Heng. Isn't that a win?"
The artists from Lijing Entertainment were divided into several filming crews. Among them, Liu Qing and Xiao Yun had the most screen time. They played a newlywed couple who traveled in a family flying machine, taking their parents through skyscrapers filled with cyberpunk atmosphere. Finally, the family looked up at the starry sky under a tall musical tulip.
The other artists had no complaints. After all, they were clearly inferior to Liu Qing and Xiao Yun in terms of seniority and performance experience. It was already a pleasant surprise that newcomers with no representative works could have a solo shot in such a big production.
—Most of the artists that Yang Wanli took away were unwilling to be subordinate to others, so in a way, Cui Qingli's misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise.
Xu Milu, taking a rare break, watched the filming scene for a while but then got bored and turned to interact with the animated characters in the park, soon buying a bunch of Disney merchandise.
[Host, I found that Shanghai Disneyland has received 85 million visitors over the past five years. This is strange. Humans know that Disney characters are virtual characters. Fairy tale figures like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy are not real people. They are not true digital beings, they have no thoughts, and they don't have any feelings. Why do people still happily pay for their tickets?]
Xiao Qi couldn't understand Xu Milu's behavior of buying merchandise, since in his opinion, these virtual characters weren't even a bunch of data.
"Hmm... how am I supposed to explain this to you?"
Xu Milu sat on the bench and licked her ice cream, feeling the cool, sweet sensation spread across her tongue:
"This question is a bit profound for me, but I'll try to make you understand that Earth is not a fairy tale world, and it's not as wonderful as the fairy tale world. Although we know that fairy tales are fictional, we are still moved by those eternally optimistic and lively fairy tale characters. Everyone has a fairy tale in their heart, including me."
I don't understand. Escaping from the real world is a sign of weakness and an inability to face reality.
Xiaoqi paused for a moment:
[Does the host also yearn for fairy tales?]
Xu Milu nodded with a smile: "The dimensional jump system and Xiao Qi are my fairy tale."
[...]
[Host, although I don't understand what you mean, as a qualified mechanical life form, I should express my shyness at this time.]
A symbol composed of code, "*?*", appeared on the blue system panel, making Xu Milu burst out laughing.
Xiao Qi's learning speed is astonishing. Although she doesn't know how the system's previous host treated it, she believes that if things continue like this, it won't be long before Xiao Qi becomes a true mechanical life form.
...
...
Before she had even finished her ice cream, Xu Milu saw another van drive into the Tomorrowland park, and a middle-aged man in his early forties got out.
Despite maintaining his physique year-round, his slightly protruding belly and loose skin revealed that he frequently attended banquets. Although he wore a smile, Xu Milu could still discern a hint of cunning and slyness typical of middle-aged men.
"Come on, come on, you've worked hard. Put on your work badges and follow the staff's instructions later—"
The nanny van door opened, and a fully armed young man stepped out. He was wearing a baseball cap, a loose hip-hop shirt, and black ripped jeans. He looked tall and thin with delicate features, the kind of pretty boy that is currently popular.
"Brother Yang, are you sure you've found out? Are we really going to see Director Zhang Heng today?"
The young man pressed down on his hat, his voice brimming with barely concealed excitement:
"Can I really appear in director Zhang Heng's advertisement?"
The middle-aged man clicked his tongue, put his hands behind his back, and said somewhat impatiently:
"Do you think I'd lie to you? Your fan base is too weak right now, and you don't have enough national recognition. The TV dramas you take on are either brainless idol dramas or low-budget web dramas. Your future will only get narrower and narrower. I've already taken care of everything. Today we're filming a big scene. You'll go in with the extras and get a few shots later."
"Huh? I'm somewhat famous, and you want me to be an extra?"
The young man said somewhat reluctantly, "Brother Yang, why don't you talk to the assistant director again and ask him to give me a solo shot? I promise I'll act well."
The woman who got off the car later scoffed. Her manicured nails were clearly carefully chosen, with sparkling rhinestones on them.
"Come on, with your acting skills that are all the same whether you're happy or unhappy, you think you can get a solo shot? You should be grateful if you can get a group shot—this is an advertisement for Honghe Group, and as long as you can get some recognition, the advertising fee will go up."
