Su Tong was slightly startled when she heard Shang Jingyan's confident voice, and said with a smile, "Okay."
Shang Jingyan had previously told her two teammates about this matter, and they both agreed that she should take Qu Licong's order.
As soon as she mentioned her request in the group, her teammates immediately responded.
Snow Green: [It sounds difficult! But has Yanyan thought about it? ]
Xuebai: [What kind of work do you want to create this time? ]
——Because both their names contain the word “snow”, Ao Qingxue and Yun Yongxue gave themselves these two nicknames. Shang Jingyan’s nickname in the group is simply “Yan”.
When Shang Jingyan told them his thoughts, both of them, who were not stupid, understood them immediately.
There are pseudo-documentary films in this world, but no one has yet applied them to the horror genre.
Moreover, due to the development of science and technology, people's impression of "recording equipment" is also changing. High-definition, stable and intelligent lenses are really difficult to bring a sense of horror.
This can be said to be the first time that the three of them officially collaborated on a work from scratch, and the discussion was very heated.
Shang Jingyan quickly wrote down a lot of key words on the paper. X71 kept looking at them eagerly and asked in confusion: [Yanyan, are you writing the plot framework? ]
Shang Jingyan: [Yes, you figured it out? ]
She wanted to laugh as she wrote, and in this work, she wanted to use an equally classic horror movie trope that has appeared in both masterpieces and bad movies.
X71 became more and more curious, but Shang Jingyan refused to say anything more.
It looked at the words written on the paper by Shang Jingyan——
Seeking death, taking risks, testing courage...
X71 thought, how can these keywords be combined into a story?
One week later, Exile Galaxy, V059.
The exit of the planet port is connected to the ground by a long escalator covered with glass.
After the passengers exited the elevator and passed through the security gate, they officially entered the planet.
The security inspector stretched her sore arms, and her inspection machine took pictures of the passengers' origins one by one:
Alpha, Alpha, Gamma, Beta, Alpha...
A year ago, no one would have imagined that one day the port of the Exile Galaxy would receive so many travelers from the mainstream galaxy.
The security inspectors are no longer surprised. It is said that the two tourist planets, Blue River Moon and Rose Heart, receive nearly 50% of the total number of guests from mainstream galaxies every day.
As a staff member, her salary has been raised twice in the past year.
All these changes were due to Shang Jingyan, the talented dream builder who was exiled to their galaxy.
The terrifying wind she brought was sweeping across the entire universe. Even V059, which had an underdeveloped tourism industry but was famous for its seafood, had seen a significant increase in passenger flow.
Now, it has only been a year since the release of Director Shang’s first work, "Evil God", and the speed at which the genius rises is so astonishing.
"Dear audience, I have arrived at the Alpha Galaxy! Our first stop is Director Shang's hometown!"
A young man in a long skirt walked down the escalator with a smile, a camera suspended above his laptop in his hand.
The security officer took a look and was not surprised: Oh, another anchor.
When she saw it for the first time, she was surprised who would come to V059 to do a live broadcast and whether anyone would watch it.
Now, she can confidently hold her chest high: Why is no one watching? This is Director Shang's hometown!
The young person passed through the security gate smoothly. The security officer looked at her twice and felt that she looked familiar.
——This traveler is none other than Jiang Xindong, the Capital Star food blogger.
A few months ago, the horror food she made while watching "The Witch of the Snowstorm" was forwarded by Shang Jingyan, which attracted comments from "Starry River Wandering Kitchen" and led to Director Shang's experience of going to the variety show.
Later, her career development also reached a new peak due to the growth of traffic. She has been so busy that she only has time to rest now, so she decided to come to Exile Galaxy to explore food.
As a food blogger, Jiang Xindong’s main job was to visit restaurants, but she later focused on making food. Now that she has returned to her old job, she feels a sense of novelty.
She chose V059 as her first stop, both because of Director Shang and because she heard that the seafood there was delicious.
Coincidentally, on the day she set out, the third branch of "The Banquet of the Underworld" just opened in V059.
[Wow, this is Director Shang’s hometown, which means I’ve been there too! ]
[The port in the Exile Galaxy doesn't look much different from ours. 】
[There is a sea outside the port! It is so beautiful. There is no such a blue ocean on my planet. ]
The barrage was lively and Jiang Xindong was also attracted by the scenery and pointed the camera at the sea outside the glass.
Before coming to Exile Galaxy, Jiang Xindong did a lot of homework.
There are not many travel guides about Alpha, but there are many rumors. Some of the most outrageous ones include "tourists from the main galaxy used to have their waists cut by interstellar pirates." The rumors were so convincing that Jiang Xindong was stunned.
Although she knew rationally that these were unbelievable, she still couldn't help but worry. It was not until she saw the blue sea and blue sky that the tension dissipated.
A port store appeared in the corner of Jiang Xindong's camera, and the barrage of comments suddenly became excited.
[!! Is that a peripheral mall? I saw the Xiaomei doll! ]
[Ahhh Dongdong is coming soon, so excited!!]
[Oh my god, there are so many limited edition peripherals, is this a paradise for popcorn? ! ]
Jiang Xindong was also stunned, and quickly trotted over.
Shopping malls around ports often use well-known local IPs to attract foreign tourists. At this moment, what is placed at the entrance is Shang Dao's horror peripheral series.
The music box castle in "Evil Spirit", the collage paper figurine in "Rouge Comb", the ghost doll in "Building 18"...
Many of these peripheral styles are sold in limited quantities in the main galaxy, and interstellar express delivery is not an option.
Others are new models that have not yet been released in the main galaxy, such as the various funerary ornaments derived from "Princess's Tomb".
[It's so funny, the bronze lamp in the tomb is made into a bedside lamp. It's so ingenious! ! ]
[When I turned it on at night, the room became a degree cooler. 】
[Oh my god, cats, dogs and male pets are pretty cute when made into plush toys. I want to have one...]
[Except for the Shang Dao area, the other Dream Builder derivatives are not very familiar, but some of the small peripherals are also very cute, you can learn about them. What is that spaceship? 】
[I don't know much about the entertainment industry in Exile Galaxy, but Director Shang should be a big name there, right? It's so impressive, and his fans are ecstatic.]
[Yes, it is amazing that Director Shang has reached the top as a new generation director. The spaceship is a derivative of our teacher Hua Feitian. "The Starship" is also very good. I recommend it~]
Jiang Xindong bought a lot of things in excitement and also picked up some peripheral items of other works.
There are many guests like her. Travelers from the main galaxy seem to become "country bumpkins" here, touching this and that in a fuss.
When checking out, the robot almost couldn't lift Jiang Xindong's shopping basket.
She also met a small anchor on the same platform. The two of them looked at each other's full shopping baskets, coughed tacitly, and laughed at the same time.
Jiang Xindong hired a robot to carry the bags back to the hotel, and he set off for the Banquet in the Underworld first.
Due to the special setting, the Hades Banquet requires a large venue and is located in a relatively remote place. This branch of V059 is located under a cliff by the sea.
The area within a radius of 500 meters was covered by the holographic simulation and it was completely dark. Jiang Xindong had only watched variety shows before and thought he would not be too scared, but when he actually arrived there he realized how scary this terrifying atmosphere was.
[Hahaha, the host is shaking! Will he be scared to tears? ]
[I love watching the compilation of the anchor being frightened by Director Shang the most (dog head).]
[I was scared in the restaurant. What should I do with the haunted house and horror theme park itinerary in the next few days? (I feel so sad)]
In order to ensure the experience, the capacity of the Hades Banquet is limited. Jiang Xindong mixed in with a large group of "ghost" diners with transparent legs like her, and entered the underworld in a daze.
Under normal circumstances, the Black and White Impermanence would not come out to greet him. Jiang Xindong could only see them wandering at the end of the team from a distance.
"Fortunately, fortunately, if it jumps in the face, I really won't dare to eat it..." Jiang Xindong covered his throbbing heart, his eyes attracted by one place, "Hey, what's that on the first floor?"
The Black and White Impermanence brought in a guest with blue skin, gorgeous clothes, and deer antlers on his forehead.
[Fuck, is it the Dragon King? ]
[Host, you have triggered the random plot! The official website said before that if you are lucky, you can encounter the "Dragon King Banquet", which is unique to the V059 branch because the ocean is widespread here, hahaha. ]
[This isn't scary, but the Dragon King still looks a bit scary. ]
Jiang Xindong was both excited and scared, his palms were sweating, and he zoomed in.
It was worth her trip!
The diners were all in an uproar, apparently thinking the same thing as she did.
As the dishes came one by one, Jiang Xindong's fear gradually faded away, and she was attracted by the food.
"The first main course is blue crab, which is also a local seafood specialty. It is said that Director Shang also likes it very much."
Jiang Xindong pointed the plate of blue crabs at the computer. "This kind of crab is extremely poisonous. The poison glands need to be removed before cooking. After cooking, the shell is also a rich blue. There was a local saying in the past that 'one would risk one's life to eat blue crabs'."
"…Artificially cultivated freshwater species do not have this 'disadvantage', but the taste is a little worse. I ordered the native seawater species, which is more delicious."
She pried open the shell, revealing the female crab's roe. The crab meat was plump, snow-white and translucent, and it exuded a sweet fragrance.
"Delicious!" Jiang Xindong's eyes lit up, "I believe Director Shang likes this hometown dish, haha."
[Damn it, I switched to the food channel unexpectedly! My mouth is watering QAQ]
[Is there a possibility that the anchor is actually a food blogger? Under this light, the anchor eating looks even more terrifying! ]
[It has a bit of the beauty of the underworld. It can be used as a theme to make a suspense horror film: a group of people are having a feast, but one of them wants to kill someone, so he replaces the blue crab with a poisonous one. The victim dies from the poison, and a mystery begins...]
The barrage has become so skilled at scaring itself that Jiang Xindong felt a little creepy while eating and almost choked on the crab legs. In order to divert attention, she posted a dynamic.
Winter Ginger Tea v: [Travel! I encountered the Dragon King coming to the underworld for a banquet [proud]. The blue crab is super delicious, I strongly recommend it to everyone! ]
After Jiang Xindong finished posting, he suddenly saw that Director Li Shang, whom he was following, had posted a new update a minute ago.
Jingyan All v: [New trailer ~ [link]]
Jiang Xindong stopped eating crabs and sat up straight. She clicked on the link and saw that the pre-release information had been released.
Title: Clown Paradise
Tags: pseudo-documentary, horror, supernatural.
Synopsis: Beware of clowns in paradise.
[Friends and family, Director Shang has released a new trailer!!]
[Wow, I knew there would be a new work after "Princess's Tomb" was finished! ]
[Oh my god, I've already finished watching it. Spoiler alert: the format of this work is really scary, and it's especially immersive [horror face]. ]
"The copywriting this time contains very little information." Jiang Xindong touched his chin, "The introduction only has a few words, and the most special thing is the label 'pseudo-documentary'."
She was not a big fan of dream-building works. After thinking about it, she couldn't remember any movies of this type.
Is there anything special about it?
Jiang Xindong looked around at the gloomy environment and felt that it was not a good idea to watch it here. However, he was really curious, so he put on a coat and clicked on the trailer.
The trailer was only one minute long, but she waited for three seconds and nothing happened.
"Huh? Why is the screen still black..."
Jiang Xindong subconsciously went to check if the progress bar was stuck, but a picture suddenly popped up on the screen. It was a young woman, and the character on the screen actually made similar movements to her.
She was looking down and moving the mouse to look at the bottom of the screen. The entire picture angle was like the camera shooting angle at the bottom of the screen, and there was a flashing date and time in the lower right corner.
"Fuck!" Jiang Xindong blurted out a swear word and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
The barrage was also shocked.
[Oh my god! I thought I accidentally opened the front camera! ]
[No wonder you feel involved! ]
[What new thing is Director Shang doing? Scary.jpg]
Soon, Jiang Xindong noticed more details: the picture had very low resolution, and rough pixel grids could be seen. The shooting device should be an old optical computer from the last ephemeris... No, it should still be called a computer at that time? Was it a portable folding notebook?
The woman was not dressed simply, but she wore a yellow engineering safety helmet on her head which did not match her branded attire. Behind her was loess and weeds, and an excavator was working. It looked like a construction site.
The low-definition equipment made her face appear pale. She raised her hand to adjust the lens and angle, smiled and waved at the screen: "Hello~ I'm at the construction site of the building now. My mother asked me to be in charge of recording and supervising. Today is the first day, and I'm here on time!"
[Young lady experiencing life? ]
[It turns out that this project was contracted by their family. ]
[Wow, this form of shooting is so interesting...]
"The workers said this piece of land is strange and cannot be moved, but I think it's just ordinary yellow soil." The woman picked up her laptop and turned it 360 degrees to include the construction site in the camera.
But the picture suddenly cuts off here, as if the signal is bad. The next segment is still at the construction site. The woman has changed her clothes, and the date in the lower right corner shows that this is the third day.
"Uh...something strange seems to have happened on the construction site." Her expression was not as bright as on the first day. She seemed to be worried about something and a little scared. "I don't want to stay here anymore. Okay, but I still have to record it..."
Before the woman finished her words, she heard a quarrel in the distance. Her face changed and she quickly put down her computer and ran over.
The picture was interrupted again.
Jiang Xindong was already starting to feel a little uneasy. These videos didn't feel like virtual works to her, but rather like real records from long ago that she had accidentally come across, so they were particularly creepy.
The third video begins with a noisy scene. It is not daytime but nighttime. A woman is stumbling and running, holding a computer in her hands and looking back from time to time.
She was still crying as she ran, "This is so weird...I need to write it down, I, I...Ah!! Don't come over here!"
The picture shook violently and the woman let out a shrill scream.
[Ahhh what is this? It's so scary! ]
[She is being chased by a monster? ? ]
[Why did he bring his computer with him when he ran away? What kind of story is this? It's so creepy! ]
The computer fell into the mud, the camera was skewed, and only the woman's last voice was heard:
"Watch out for the clowns!!"
With a "swish", the picture was cut off. These videos were not accompanied by any BGM. They were like the most ordinary records, depressing and low, but it was precisely because of this that they were so real that they were terrifying.
The black screen lasted for several seconds, and Jiang Xindong could even hear his own heartbeat.
The next video was another one, which was obviously in high definition. Jiang Xindong swallowed and rubbed his arms.
The picture is bright and clean, with a group of young men and women fiddling with the camera.
"Have you finished debugging?" "Hey, hey! Aim at the light..." "It's started, it's started, don't be distracted!"
They are standing away from the camera, posing straight, and it is obvious that they are filming a vlog. The background is the living room, and the camera can capture large and small travel packages. It seems that a group of people are about to set off somewhere, and they are laughing and playing from time to time.
[So realistic, this is how my friends and I shoot travel vlogs. ]
[Help, this is too immersive!!]
[So this is a pseudo-documentary…]
"Today, we are going on a big adventure!"
The leader of the young people put on his backpack, raised his camera and said.
"Haha, it's an unknown attraction in a small county town, recommended by our fans, an abandoned amusement park."
"Hey, the car is here, let's go now!"
