Jiangcheng Art and Exhibition Center.

This convention and exhibition center located on the outskirts of Jiangcheng City was built not long ago.

In addition to this avant-garde art and exhibition center, this area also has some museums, creative workshops, theaters, experience centers, etc. under construction.

It is said that this was once the site of the Jiangcheng Grand Theater. After being purchased by Jiangcheng Industry, it was transformed into a community that promotes positive energy and creates art.

When Lu Ban came here, it felt like returning home.

However, this place is still some distance away from the city. There are no densely populated residential areas around it, but there are large tracts of farmland. Thanks to this, there are not many people here.

Lu Ban saw some young couples on the road, most of them were girls dragging boys walking in front. He thought about it and felt that this kind of avant-garde art might indeed be more popular among literary young women.

Of course, there are also some people who look very artistic, such as the man walking in front of Lu Ban. He was wearing a cotton jacket in this still hot day. The jacket was tattered and full of holes. He had messy long hair. Lu Ban looked at his face, which was square and had a sharp look in his eyes.

Lu Ban watched the man take two steps and come to the trash can.

Suddenly, he reached out and fished out a dying cigarette butt from the extinguished ashtray above the trash can. He picked up the cigarette butt with both hands skillfully and took a deep puff.

The faint spark is reignited with the flow of air through the filter, just like life, thriving and endless. Just as the artist has shown, even if one is unkempt, as long as there is faith in one's heart, every place can be a stage.

Lu Ban felt that he had received an inspiration, and he nodded to the artist.

The other party saw Lu Ban, but his eyes were firm and motionless, like a sculpture.

Lu Ban knew that this was a sign that his work was complete.

He came to the entrance of the Art Exhibition Center.

There really aren't many people here, and there are only a few people outside the exhibition hall. Lu Ban asked the ticket inspector to scan his electronic ticket. As soon as he entered the exhibition center, he saw a man with thinning hair walking towards him.

"Hello, I am Cheng Junjie, the person in charge of this exhibition."

The other party introduced himself and was eager to explain to Lu Ban.

"No, I can just take a look myself."

Lu Ban feels that this kind of artwork, at least for the first time, needs to be viewed and studied by oneself, so as to obtain the most original impression. Even if this goes against the author's original reason for creation, this experience is unique.

Nowadays, many people like to watch others explain movies and speed read novels online. Although it saves time and allows them to get a general idea of ​​the story, many details of the works are lost.

Therefore, Lu Ban does not need to explain.

After declining the other party's explanation, Lu Ban first saw a peculiar work of art.

It was a chair, and it looked ordinary, just like any other wooden chair you could find anywhere.

But on the ground next to the chair, there were some dirty-looking stains, like vomit.

Lu Ban didn’t mean that the stains were not okay, but he couldn’t think of what purpose these stains had.

This artwork also invites passers-by to sit on it and think about it.

But if you sit on it, you will definitely step on those stains.

Lu Ban didn’t quite understand.

He decided to experience it for himself.

Lu Ban sat on the chair after stepping on those soft and dirty things. Fortunately, these things were not real dirt, but were made by special means and would not stick to shoes.

He tried to think, but the sensation under his feet always disturbed his thoughts.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban suddenly understood.

It turns out that this work of art is telling us that even the greatest thoughts will be interrupted when faced with the filth and danger that is within reach.

He nodded, walked down, and felt very rewarding.

Lu Ban continued to walk inside.

He also saw an umbrella with only ribs, a cucumber taped to the wall, and the Statue of Liberty in a pot of urine.

Lu Ban came to a water tank with an octopus in it. According to the instructions on the side, the audience could put their hands in and let the octopus wrap around them.

Lu Ban reached his hand in.

But the octopus timidly moved away from Lu Ban's hand, curled up in the corner, looking very scared and trembling.

“Not everything in this world goes as planned.”

Lu Ban felt that he had realized something.

After visiting the exhibition, Lu Ban felt that he had gained a lot.

There are many forms of artistic expression, but the ones that have the greatest impact are those that can be actually touched and felt.

For example, many cinemas now have 4D movies, where not only do the seats shake, but sometimes they can even spray water.

Pure visuals and sound effects have their limits, so these films that are meant for expressiveness choose not to be ordinary films.

Lu Ban thought it was worth learning.

He walked out of the art exhibition, said goodbye to the organizer of the exhibition, and prepared to stroll around here for a while.

There are also some escape room stores, archery experience halls, live CS experience halls, etc. Lu Ban was walking on the road and suddenly saw an eye-catching store.

VR experience center.

In Lu Ban's understanding, VR is just wearing a helmet and pretending that there is a beautiful girl in front of him who can kiss, hug and lift things high. However, when he walked into the store, he found that VR is now very developed.

Although they were still wearing helmets, they were already able to hold sticks in their hands and complete some basic game items with the help of special venue equipment.

Lu Ban tried it out.

He thinks that apart from the picture quality, touch and game format, everything else is pretty good.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban suddenly had an inspiration.

If we can develop some equipment and gameplay that allows the audience to put themselves in the shoes of the scenes in the movie, can it bring an experience that goes beyond the current one?

The previous Wasted Town was a similar attempt, but such real-life games require a lot of costs and can accommodate too few tourists.

Lu Ban had also learned about game consoles before. Some game consoles have somatosensory functions and can be used for exercise, but that was all he could do.

If Lu Ban could develop some equipment that allows people to truly immerse themselves in the world of movies, would this be considered a new form of expression?

Moreover, all-round pollution is definitely stronger than the pollution transmitted only through movies. Even for the sake of the people in this world, Lu Ban must find a way to allow everyone to bear such knowledge as soon as possible.

An idea gradually took shape in Lu Ban's mind.

He quickly returned to the urban area of ​​Jiangcheng. At the same time, Lu Ban also called Song Yunyan's secretary Li Zijian to inquire about business projects related to VR equipment.

Lu Ban is ready to get into the gaming business, bringing fully immersive pollution!
