October 21st.

Thomson came to the door of Lu Yuan's office.

He was wondering whether he should knock on the door and go in.

In fact, when he learned that he was about to take over a movie consisting entirely of advertisements, Thomson felt extremely complicated.

Although it is not known which companies will sponsor this film, what is the synonym of advertising film in the film industry?

Money-making, bad movie, vulgar and disgusting.

Countless negative adjectives well describe the reputation of these advertising films in the film industry.

This is not a good thing to do. If it is not handled properly, it may leave a stain on a popular director that can never be erased.

and……

Fifty ad spots!

There are at least fifty product placements in a movie.

What is the concept?

Think about it.

When your movie starts playing, what awaits you is not the movie plot that attracts you, but a disgusting brainwashing advertisement. After you finally watch the opening and are ready to enter the plot, suddenly another advertisement appears...

What a mess, more than 50 ads were inserted into a movie that was less than two hours long...

Can movie fans still enjoy watching the movie?

How could he not feel disgusted?

Moreover, you can keep a low profile beforehand, but the movie hasn't been filmed yet. Zhou Shuai announced in "Novi Media" that "The Truman Show" will accept 50 advertisements. Once this news was released, it was reported and reprinted by countless other media. In the morning, it had already circled the earth. Almost all movie fans know that "The Truman Show" is an advertising movie...

So which movie fan would be stupid enough to spend money to watch commercials?

Isn't this bullshit?

Is everyone's brain healthy?

After standing at the office door for more than ten minutes, Thomson finally gritted his teeth and knocked on the door.

“Knock, knock.”

"Come in"

"boss……"

"Oh, it's Thomson. Come, sit down. I'll be done in a minute. I just need to fill in the general framework."

"good."

Thomson looked at Lu Yuan in front of him, who was staring with his panda eyes and writing and drawing on the script seriously.

It seems the boss is serious.

The boss really wants to make this advertising film.

Thomson's throat trembled.

He began to hesitate again.

To be honest, he really didn't want to risk his career by making such an advertising film.

Every director hopes that his career will be perfect from beginning to end. No director wants to have a stain in his career.

The same goes for him.

But he didn't know how to say it.

After all, the person sitting in front of him was the most talented genius of this century, who was also the one who pulled him out of the quagmire and was respected by everyone. He really didn't know how to refuse.

In this way, he remained depressed for about half an hour.

When it was after 8:30 in the morning, Lu Yuan, with his panda eyes open, finally finished writing the script framework and stretched himself.

"Thomson..."

"Boss, I'm here..."

"You don't seem willing to take this movie?" Lu Yuan suddenly looked at Thomson with a smile, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"I... boss... if the boss thinks this can be filmed, then I will definitely try my best to make it a good one." Thomson found that he didn't dare to look Lu Yuan in the eye. Lu Yuan's seemingly casual words gave Thomson endless pressure, making him feel a little breathless. After struggling for a long time, he finally said these words.

After saying this, he found that he finally felt much more relaxed and the pressure was also relieved.

"Thomson, don't be so nervous... You actually think a lot. This is indeed a movie full of product placement. Of course, if conditions permit, more than fifty advertisements may not be enough..." Lu Yuan looked directly at Thomson and said these words seriously.

“……”Thomson was silent.

He didn't know what he should say, and didn't even understand the meaning of what Lu Yuan said.

"But this is not a bad movie, nor is it a rubbish movie. It's a movie like Final Destination, which is terrifying if you think about it carefully." Lu Yuan looked at Thompson's silent expression and shook his head. "Thomson, do you think the world you live in is normal?"

"Ah?" Thomson was puzzled.

"Do you think that the existence of your friends, your wife, your brothers and sisters, your father, and even me, are all real?" Lu Yuan asked again.

"Boss, this... can this be false?" Thomson shook his head. Although he thought that the question Lu Yuan asked was ridiculous, for some reason, his heart tightened.

"Have you ever thought that you are the protagonist of a reality show, and we are all actors acting with you? The world you know is actually a world carefully created by the crew, and in places you can't see, there are many cameras pointing at you, and many fans are watching your daily food, clothing, housing and transportation..." Lu Yuan's voice gradually softened, and he looked at Thomson mysteriously like a devil who was persuading others.

"Boss, this joke is not funny at all... There is no way such a realistic plot can exist in this world..." Thomson began to feel creepy unconsciously.

"Is the world you think it is really this world? Have you noticed that the knowledge you have learned is all instilled in you by someone, and that the earth is round is all taught to you by someone, but in fact, is the earth really round?"

"Isn't it true? Isn't the earth round? The earth is round!" Thomson suddenly gasped, and cold sweat unconsciously flowed down his forehead.

"What if the earth is square, but everyone tells you that the earth is round! You can only know the world from books and the media, but what if I tell you that this world is a carefully planned lie? After all, you have never been to space and you can't see what the earth is like. In fact, I said that the United States has never really been to the moon. I said this is a shocking hoax. Can you refute it? When everyone says that the world is square, and everyone provides so-called photos of the earth, then... can you refute it?"

Lu Yuan continued to look at Thompson with a smile, and his voice gradually became softer. At the same time, his voice was filled with strong and terrifying psychological hints, which made Thompson feel creepy and even suffocated.

"I... Boss, this is impossible! This can't be like this..." Thomson's pupils shrank and he stood up from the chair in an instant!

He felt himself go cold.

"How can you refute me that this can't be the case?" Lu Yuan looked at Thomson with a smile.

"I, the boss, all this..."

"This is all too real, isn't it?" Lu Yuan smiled even more brightly.

"You are a director, you should know that if a top director is willing to spend money, he can make the fake look real! You have been on a plane, you want to refute me, but what if the route you fly is from one crew to another? Everything is set, everyone is serving you, everyone is an actor, and they are acting with you according to the set script..." Lu Yuan slowly walked towards Thomson step by step.

"Boss, this is nonsense. This joke is not funny at all, boss..." Although Thompson showed an expression that Lu Yuan was making him laugh, his body still subconsciously kept backing away.

If an ordinary person said this, Thomson would definitely think that this person was a lunatic, but the person who said this to him was Lu Yuan.

His status and position were there, and they carried with them an aura that Thomson could not question. In addition, Xing Luyuan's voice had a hypnotic tone that slowly penetrated into Thomson's most vulnerable nerves.

Thomson felt like half of his worldview had been refreshed.

"What if this isn't nonsense, but real? You want to sleep, but you don't know what the dark world will be like after you fall asleep, right?"

“…”

"You think this is bullshit, but what can you say to refute me?"

“…”

Thomson gasped, feeling terrified.

He found himself unable to utter a word.

Although Lu Yuan's words sounded unorthodox and nonsense, if you really think about it carefully, if everyone is an actor and all the plots are set, then...

It’s terrifying when you think about it!

"'The Truman Show' is such a movie." Lu Yuan then took out the script and handed it to Thomson.

"Ah?" Thomson couldn't react for a long time after reading the script.

"'The Truman Show' will indeed receive a lot of advertisements, but don't we have advertisements in our lives? Look at my pen, does it have a brand? Look at this computer, does it have its own brand? I plan to use them in the movie, using the most realistic layout to tell such a story to all the fans..."

“……”Thomson took the script and read it for a long time.

Then, the whole person seemed to be cleansed and looked at Lu Yuan in great shock.

He understands!

It turns out that "The Truman Show" tells such a story!

"So, shoot?"

"Clap! Boss! Clap!" Thomson nodded firmly.

"Then go ahead." Lu Yuan laughed.

"good!"

Thomson carefully put away the script frame, then lowered his head and walked out of the office in a daze.

When he was about to go out, he suddenly stopped.

"boss……"

"Um?"

"Tell me, are we really living in a movie?"

"I don't know. I often feel like I'm living in a novel and I'm the hero of a novel." Lu Yuan laughed.

“……”Thomson became even more dazed after seeing Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's existence is somewhat unreasonable to this world.

after all……

There are indeed many geniuses in history, but there are only one or two terrifying geniuses like Lu Yuan in history...

This world...

Is this normal?

Is this the real world?

When he left the office and looked at the sunlight outside, he felt that it was really abnormal.

Wait, what if the sun above our heads is man-made?

Thomson looked at the people passing by.

Somehow, he suddenly felt strange.

This world...

Is this really normal?

What are you thinking about!

The world can't be what the boss says it is.

It's impossible...

At this moment...

"Mr. Thomson?"

"Huh?" Thomson looked up subconsciously, and was stunned when he saw the person coming.

"Mr. Thomson, haha, are you okay? I'm Zade, don't you recognize me?"

“???” Thomson was stunned, looking at Zade, who was skinny and bony.

He was scared.

About a month ago, Zade was still very burly, but now Zade...

"Mr. Thomson?" Zade was suddenly surprised when he saw the confused Thomson.

"I'm fine, haha."

Could it be that this world is really a movie that is tailored to itself?

This actor named Zadeh...

Forgot to put on makeup now?

"???" Zade looked at Thomson in surprise and then responded, "Oh, Mr. Thomson, you mean my appearance? Yes, in order to better play the role of Whiplash, I have lost about 20 kilograms in this period of time... If the doctor hadn't said that my life would be in danger if I continued to lose weight, I think I could lose another 5 kilograms... I can almost play the role of the music teacher now!"

"Mr. Zade, you scared me." Thomson finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hahaha..." Zade laughed and walked towards the company.

“…”

Looking at Zade's back, Thomson looked at the script in his hand again.

Then he let out a long breath.

If this movie really gets made, then...

How will the world react?

His heart suddenly felt hot.

The boss is simply...

monster!
