Huangquan Road
"...It's such a pity." The agent finally said with a complicated expression.
It was she who made Qu Licong famous. She still remembered how Qu Licong looked when he came to her to sign a contract thirteen years ago. At that time, Qu Licong was only 16 years old and unknown, while she was already the company's ace agent.
"I will bring you a better and brighter career prospect."
The girl was ambitious, and her fiery red hair was like a burning flame. After listening to a song sung by Qu Licong, this fire also ignited her heart, and she agreed to this self-recommended contract.
The agent never doubted that Qu Licong would become popular. As a singer, she not only had a beautiful and pleasant voice, one in a million, but also had the rarest talent: emotional appeal.
Broadly speaking, singers can also be classified as dream builders, and their singing can evoke the audience's emotional fluctuations. In theory, singers can integrate their own spiritual fluctuations into their singing and resonate with the audience.
Most singers need training to be able to do this, but Qu Li is born with the ability. Almost everyone who has heard her live will fall in love with her.
That’s why her fans call her “the voice of the mermaid”, just like the Siren in mythology, who uses her singing to lure people into oblivion.
Now, Qu Li is less than 30 years old, but she is already the most popular singer in the main galaxy. Some people say that if she continues to sing like this, she will become the first singer to be awarded the title of "Resident Star Dream Builder".
But now she says she wants to terminate her contract and retire from the entertainment industry. Anyone who sees a meteor about to fall would feel sorry for it.
The agent had deep feelings for Qu Licong, and seeing that she was determined to do so, he did not want to put any more pressure on her and made things difficult for her, so he prepared to sign the termination contract.
She picked up the pen and said in a casual tone, "It's not bad to take a break for a while. You can make contributions again when you are in better condition. Wasn't the doctor we saw last week good? You seemed to say she was good at that time."
Qu Licong was unwilling to even speak and shook her head slightly.
Wait till the condition is better?
But her condition will never get better.
She has been resting for almost a year, and in her last concert in front of the public, she failed to put her mental energy into her singing. Although it sounded good, fans still noticed that she was not in good shape.
Qu Li had hoped that she would get better after a year's rest, but it didn't, it just got worse.
She suffered from cavitation.
The coming of this disease is so unreasonable. It seems that the more dazzling the genius, the more likely they are to be targeted.
Qu Li used to regard singing as her life, but now, she is even afraid to hear her own voice. There is a hoarseness in it that sounds like hesitation, confusion, and lack of rest... It is hard to listen to.
As for the doctor he saw last week, Qu Licong just said "not bad" out of courtesy.
Who doesn't know the conventional cure for synovial disease? It's nothing more than wearing Dream Source Crystals. Now the Dream Source Crystals that her family spent a huge amount of money to buy can be piled up into a crystal mine cave, isn't it still useless?
With the suppression of the Dream Source Crystal, her synovial disease did not worsen. However, if you take away the singing ability of a person who regards singing as his life, then that person's life will also burn to the end.
Qu Licong's implicit determination to die scared her agent, and she immediately changed her mind: she could not agree to Qu Licong's termination of the contract!
With an appointment, Qu Licong was still holding on. If she let go of this string, she was really afraid that she would turn around and hear the news that Qu Licong had jumped off the roof.
After so many years, the two of them have become more than just collaborators, but can be called close friends.
The agent weighed his tone, as if he had just remembered: "Oh, I almost forgot! Your contract will expire in a few months. If I terminate your contract now, you will have to pay liquidated damages. How about this, let's first tell the fans about the postponement of the concert, and then I will terminate your contract."
Qu Licong actually didn't care about the penalty money, but after thinking about it, and considering her friend's concern for her, she nodded and agreed.
The agent breathed a sigh of relief, and she decided to take this opportunity to let Qu Licong get in touch with more dream-building works. After all, it is well known that the best way to treat all people is to use Dream Source Crystal, but when it comes to individuals, the way to make miracles happen is to find a dream-building work that suits their taste.
Qu Li has never liked popular works and only likes to read literary works. In the past year, she has become more and more addicted to her own emotions, and no matter how she persuades her, it is useless.
The agent turned on the computer and prepared to arrange the announcement: "You don't need to look online from now on. Leave everything to me. If anyone says anything, don't bother..."
meaning.
The agent's words suddenly got stuck in his throat. He stared at the computer screen with uncontrollable anger on his face.
[Genius singer Qu Licong suffers from mental illness, can she continue her concert? She looked haggard and had a secret meeting with someone in a high-end restaurant, and there may be a change in her career. xx News exclusively reports for you...]
——Just a few minutes ago, this news was released, accompanied by secretly taken photos, and instantly became a hot search.
The tone of the news seemed wrong at first glance, and the agent took a quick glance and found that the "xx news" was indeed a rival account!
The restaurant they came to shouldn't have allowed secret filming, so the other party must have resorted to illegal means.
The most crucial thing is that they are not prepared for anything yet, and the influence of public opinion is likely to increase Qu Licong's mental burden.
Someone had already started asking in Qu Licong's comment section. The manager was furious. He took a deep breath and continued, "...Leave it to me. However, Xiao Li, we may have to change our response measures."
Pei Yi and Shang Jingyan went directly into the restaurant of the park from the employee passage. Now that they have finished eating, Shang Jingyan can take him to experience it from the beginning.
Similarly, the Chinese horror theme park she designed is also divided into three major areas.
At the entrance to the park is a huge stone gate with the three characters "Ghost Gate" written on it. The texture of the stone gate is like black jade, with a faint green glow, and it is carved with chains and countless little ghosts with open eyes and no claws, as if they are about to rush out of hell.
There are statues of Black and White Impermanence on both sides. If a tourist deliberately evades the ticket, White Impermanence will stick out his tongue and roll the tourist away.
"Why are there so many people evading tickets?" Pei Yi's attention was drawn to it.
Shang Jingyan said calmly: "It was all intentional, just to be rolled by the tongue."
Tourists treated this as a free item, as if they hadn't come to the park without experiencing it. They issued a rule that those who deliberately evaded the entrance fee would have to pay an extra 10%, but it failed to curb this trend.
Pei Yi: “…”
The tourists were seen lined up like a group of carrots, one rolled up and the next took over, screaming in mid-air, and Bai Wuchang's tongue was almost leaving an afterimage.
No wonder Bai Wuchang looked so resentful, it turned out to be because of overtime.
Unlike Western theme parks, the sky here is not faked as night by optical imaging, but is always cloudy and rainy. Fine raindrops fall from the sky, and realistically create a circle of cow-like outlines around tourists.
After entering the park, there will be a "Yellow Spring Road" paved with bluestone slabs, with endless red Lycoris radiata on both sides of the road.
Wandering on the Yellow Springs Road were translucent undead spirits created by virtual images, some big, some small, some dark, some light, with the lower half of their bodies hidden in the mist.
Their expressions were dull and lifeless, and they would walk straight through the tourists. Some tourists began to scream in fear, shivering and gathering in a group, not daring to move forward.
Pei Yi watched the undead "brushing past" him and felt a chill in his illusion.
“By the way, the ghosts here are the real faces of tourists.”
Shang Jingyan said, "As long as you go to the machine over there and take a headshot, you can record yourself as a ghost... Oh, what a coincidence, this is me."
A ghost with the face of Shang Jingyan wandered by. Her modeling was obviously more delicate than other souls. She looked arrogant and was wearing ghost clothes, which attracted many tourists to watch:
"? Was that Director Shang who just passed by?"
"The one next to me is me. Director Shang and I died together. So, we are together!"
"Hahaha why is Director Shang also working here?"
Pei Yi was speechless for a moment, and after a long silence, he said: "...As expected of you."
Shang Jingyan pushed up his sunglasses and asked, "Do you want to take a picture too?"
Pei Yi resolutely rejected this suggestion: "Forget it!"
He turned on his computer to record this moment, but a message box popped up on top: "Hmm?"
[Qu Licong suffers from syringomyelia, a generation of genius dies...]
Pei Yi was stunned. Shang Jingyan also saw the message and let out a soft "ah".
Qu Li knew her and liked her songs very much. Her masterpiece was called "Siren Sigh", composed by Yun Yongxue and sung by her. There were no lyrics in the whole song, only pure chanting.
On the stage that year, Qu Li wore a silver fishtail skirt from the lower body, with loose red curly hair and a crown woven with mother-of-pearl. When she appeared on stage, she sat in a translucent water tank suspended from the top, like a siren descending from the sky.
"Siren's Sigh" made Qu Li famous overnight and became popular throughout the galaxy.
Such a singer has to quit the entertainment industry because of synovial syndrome, and even Shang Jingyan, a time traveler, feels unfair.
However, considering her current fame in the main galaxy, Qu Licong is still too far away, and she can't find a way to contact her even if she wants to treat her.
Pei Yi said in a slightly lowered voice: "What a pity. I also bought tickets for her concert, but I'm afraid they will be cancelled."
His cell phone ringtone is Qu Licong's song, and he has never changed it in several years.
Pei Yi shook his head, drove the faint feeling of loss out of his mind, and walked out of the Road of the Dead Souls with Monk Jingyan.
Shang Jingyan completely copied the system of the underworld. After passing the Yellow Springs Road, there is the Wangchuan River. Under optical simulation, the river water is as red as blood, and there are snakes, insects and skeletons in the red waves. Pei Yiqing couldn't help but shiver, as if he smelled a fishy wind.
"Oh my god! This is much scarier than the other paradise!"
"Woo woo, I don't dare to cross!"
"I've already spent money on the tickets, I can't be scared away before I even enter the entertainment area!"
A white marble bridge spans the river, with ferocious-looking gods guarding both sides.
Pei Yi had done his homework in advance and knew that they were the day-wandering gods and the night-wandering gods, who could detect good and evil.
Thanks to Shang Jingyan's design, ordinary people in the interstellar space only then knew that there were so many interesting records in the previous star calendar, and every scene and object in this Chinese horror park has a history.
A few days ago, Zu Lingwei publicly praised Shang Jingyan, saying that she revived and promoted ancient culture.
After crossing the Naihe Bridge, there is a small stone platform with the three characters "Wangxiangtai" engraved on it, and Meng Po is serving soup on it. Pei Yi went to get a cup and found that it was watermelon juice. It is estimated that it will be replaced with hot tea when the weather gets cold.
The Sansheng Stone next to Meng Po is said to be able to see the three lives of the visitor. Of course, this is not possible here, but there are also Easter eggs buried. If tourists come here more than once, they can see the images left by the previous times when they pass by again.
There is a message board next to the San Sheng Stone, with handwriting in various colors on it.
[Thanks for the invitation. It was a great experience. I rehearsed the afterlife process in advance. My mother no longer has to worry about my failure in reincarnation. ]
[Reincarnation wish: In the next life, I will travel back to ancient times and become an empress. Anyone who sees me will v50 and help me build an empire. I will appoint you as an official in the future...]
[I wish I could pass the exam, and I will make a wish in my next life! ]
Pei Yi: You guys are really as amazing as Director Shang.
It was not until here that we actually entered the amusement area. Because we entered the park two hours in advance, there were not many people queuing.
The haunted house area is naturally dominated by Chinese horror derivative IPs such as Rouge Comb. Pei Yi has basically played in all of them, so he doesn't plan to go again today. The rest and leisure area is mainly for food and beverage. They just came from there. In the future, Shang Jingyan plans to open the Banquet of the Underworld directly in the park, so that the styles can be perfectly integrated.
The overall design of the amusement facility area adopts the torture concept of the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Looking around, you can see mountains of swords, trees of knives, and a sea of hellfire.
Pei Yi quietly chose the carousel among all the scary rides. This carousel was made to look like a rotating torture cart, and he felt his heart pounding as soon as he sat on it.
Although Shang Jingyan designed two horror parks, she had never been there herself. She felt that they were not exciting enough, so she went to play on a bungee jumping machine.
Pei Yi didn't want to play, but he didn't want to be alone, so he followed along. When he got off the bungee jumping machine, his face was pale, and he said weakly: "...Director Shang, you are so brave."
As expected of a horror film maker, when he was so scared that he held on to the handrail, Shang Jingyan opened her arms and "Wuhu took off" on the side. Among the group of screaming amusement rides, her style was the most prominent.
Shang Jingyan laughed at his deliberately exaggerated demeanor and straightened his silver hair that was messed up by the wind: "Manager Pei, you need to exercise more."
Pei Yi usually has the image of a gentle family man. Just now was the first time she saw him lose control, even more out of control than when he was playing in the haunted house.
X71 is also very excited. Its senses are very sensitive. When the bungee jump machine falls, small flowers appear on the system panel.
[Yanyan, I want to play more! ] X71 said, [Shall we go ride the roller coaster? ]
[Okay.] Shang Jingyan agreed immediately, [This time, only you and I will go together.]
Pei Yi's legs felt weak. When he heard that Shang Jingyan still wanted to play, he waved his hand and said, "I'll go sit over there and wait for you."
X71 was embarrassed by the words "It's just you and me": [Hey, I want to record the whole process this time! [Cheers]]
It likes the horror style brought by Yanyan more and more.
Pei Yi stayed where he was and was approached by the NPC of the haunted house after a while. The ghost bride was wearing a blood-red veil, with slender fingers painted with cardamom. She asked faintly, "Sir, are you my groom?"
Pei Yi: “…”
Help.
Shang Jingyan rode the roller coaster and the pendulum in one go, and seeing that it was getting late, she decided to take a ride on the Ferris wheel. It was designed to look like a revolving lantern, with a wooden frame structure and octagonal glass lanterns. When it rotated, shadow plays would be shown on each lantern.
The Ferris wheel has always been a holy place for couples. It moves slowly and is suitable for relaxation. You can also make a romantic love agreement at the highest point. But the Ferris wheel here is only for couples who are trembling with fear and huddled together, and even a few screams from time to time.
Shang Jingyan was quite relaxed by herself, watching the story of the shadow play carefully. The Easter egg stories in the park were adapted from the works of newcomers collected by the Su Group on the Star Network. Nowadays, the horror style has taken shape, and these shadow play stories have a flavor of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
She recorded the screen and posted a message on WeChat Moments: [The horror park is really interesting. [Video]]
After logging out, Shang Jingyan found that he had received a new message.
The person who sent the message surprised her. It was the busy Su Tong. She got straight to the point and said, "I have a friend who suffers from syringomyelia. The situation is quite tricky. Her agent wants to recruit a dream builder to treat her. The reward is very generous. I would like to recommend you to give it a try. Director Shang, do you have this intention?"
A chapter that goes well with Qingming (?)
