Wizard Island
Sheng Pingsha's expression froze at that moment, but Shang Jingyan's tone was half-joking, so he couldn't get angry, so he could only say: "...Xiao Shang, you have such a prickly personality."
Shang Jingyan blinked and clinked glasses with him with a smile: "Senior, you won't be offended, will you? I just made this suggestion out of kindness."
Sheng Pingsha couldn't keep his composure and was forced to clink glasses with her and take a sip. Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, the program crew's aircraft finally arrived, and a young man with long blue hair ran in hurriedly: "Sorry to have kept you waiting! - I'm so sorry, we had a car accident on the way and were stuck on the road..."
He is Mr. Qin Xiao, with broad shoulders and long legs, phoenix eyes and red lips, and a brown teardrop mole under his left eye.
This look would be very popular in the idol circle, but unfortunately she is a real straw beauty. She took only two steps into the hall before she was tripped by the carpet.
"oops--!"
Qin Xiao's blue hair flew up like a flag, and the documents in his arms flew out, and he himself hit his chin hard. The staff behind him twitched their mouths and covered their faces.
Shang Jingyan: “…”
Mr. Qin's appearance was truly stunning. How could a carpet on the flat ground trip people?
In an instant, no one paid attention to the verbal confrontation between Shang Jingyan and Sheng Pingsha, and people quickly gathered around to help Qin Xiao.
"Hiss... It hurts, it hurts!" Qin Xiao climbed up with difficulty, rubbing his chin with tears in his eyes.
He fell in front of Sheng Pingsha, and subconsciously pulled the beads hanging from the other's hand to stand up. Only after he stood up did he react and kept saying sorry.
Sheng Pingsha: "..."
Shang Jingyan swore that he read a sentence from Sheng Pingsha's doubtful expression: Is it really a good choice for him to participate in this show?
"Director Sheng! Director Shang! Director Hua! Master Yun!..." Qin Xiao shook hands with everyone like announcing a dish, and then handed out documents himself, "Thank you so much for coming to the show, I will definitely do my best!"
President Qin didn't come today, it seems that he wanted to let his son get some exercise. Qin Xiao's arrival changed the atmosphere. Sheng Pingsha and Shang Jingyan were separated by the crowd, and the scene became lively again. No one dared to put the two together.
Hua Feitian's impression of Shang Jingyan changed a little. She propped up her chin and suddenly said, "It should have been like this a long time ago. I really don't know why you were talking to those people."
Shang Jingyan is not the kind of person who gets angry. She looks dark on the outside, but after getting along with her for a while, others will find that she is versatile, cheerful and outgoing, and no one will offend her easily.
"It's hard to make a living, young lady."
Shang Jingyan shook his wine glass and jokingly said a common saying from his previous life.
She has been trained all this time. She had no background or qualifications at first, but that meant she couldn't offend anyone, right?
But this doesn't mean she is a good person - she is far from these three words. When she doesn't need to please anyone, she will do what she wants.
First of all, Hua Feitian was born in the interstellar world, where the dream builder system is sound and the competition is fair. Secondly, her family has money for her to squander and she doesn't have to please anyone, which is why she can develop such a character.
She tilted her head and frowned as if she was confused, but in the end she didn't ask, but just changed the subject: "Which planet's dialect did you just speak? It doesn't sound like V059's."
Hua Feitian didn't say more than just this. After studying Shang Jingyan for so long, she dared to say that no one in the Exiled Galaxy audience knew Shang Jingyan better than her.
She always felt that Shang Jingyan sometimes showed traits that didn't seem like someone from this place -
"Here" refers not only to the Exile Galaxy, but to this entire era.
She brought something completely new, and like all geniuses in history, was destined to change the world.
"I can't remember clearly. I don't know where I learned it." Shang Jingyan switched from Cantonese to Sichuan accent. "Sweet girl, who do you think will be the champion in the end, me or you?"
Hua Feitian: “…”
Why does it sound so infuriating!
Hua Feitian was furious: "It must be me!"
Shang Jingyan laughed and successfully fooled himself about the accent issue.
The launch party ended around 10pm, and people began to leave one after another, and the music and singing died down.
Shang Jingyan and others were also preparing to go back. As soon as they walked out of the restaurant door, they were drowned out by a burst of noise.
“Director Shang! Where is Director Shang?” “Director Shang, I love you!!——” “Sister Tiantian!” “Yunyun ah ah!”
There were actually quite a few fans gathered downstairs, and when they saw everyone coming downstairs, they started shouting in a restrained manner. The fans were all locals who came here after hearing the news, and most of them were young people. The names of Shang Jingyan, Yun Yongxue, and Hua Feitian were all called out, but almost no one mentioned Sheng Pingsha.
This is actually normal. Sheng Pingsha has no works this year, and his most fanatical fans back then are almost past the age of chasing stars. No one here will laugh at him for this.
But he still showed an embarrassed look and pulled up his mask.
"Why did you come here specially? You have too much money to burn." Hua Feitian's style of interacting with fans is also unique. She said with disdain and flicked the lollipop, but took the autograph board handed over by the fan.
The fans also laughed and said: "Write me 'All the famous schools love me', sweet sister!"
Hua Feitian wrote with a big brush: Study hard and don’t dream.
While she was writing, she was also listening to Shang Jingyan. As a result, when she was signing her name, her hand shook and she almost wrote "I don't like sweets".
Hua Feitian: “…”
Fortunately, it was all Shang Jingyan’s fault. She had seen this small ID of hers too many times in the past few days!
Shang Jingyan put on glasses and a mask, and patted Yun Yongxue on the back from behind: "Xiaoxue, I'm counting on you."
Yun Yongxue: “……?”
Before he could react, he realized Shang Jingyan's "sinister intentions" when he was surrounded by fans - but the latter had already disappeared into the night like a slippery silver fish.
“Yunyun, is that you? I didn’t expect to see you offline…” “Ahhh, my dear child!” “Wasn’t that Master Yan who just passed by? Yunyun, go chase him!”
Lin Feijie had coached other artists before Yun Yongxue, so he was familiar with this and blocked the crowd for Yun Yongxue. But Yun Yongxue usually didn't see fans, and it was the first time for him to face such enthusiasm. His skin under the mask turned red to his ears, and he was actually tripped for a moment.
He is just aloof and doesn't like to show up, but he is not really cold-hearted and doesn't care about his fans. After being surrounded for a while, he was at a loss and signed a few names reluctantly.
But when he looked up, Shang Jingyan had disappeared.
Where is Yanyan going? It seems that the direction she is going is not the hotel arranged by the program team... Yun Yongxue thought a little absent-mindedly.
"...Young people nowadays really don't know how to talk! I thought Shang Jingyan would be better, but she turned out to be exactly the same as Hua Feitian!"
Sheng Pingsha was provoked repeatedly tonight, and the first thing he said when he got into the nanny car was a resentful scolding.
His editor handed him some sobering tea and consoled him, "They are just being arrogant because of their youth. Wait until you get off the show, and then see if they can take the spotlight again."
Sheng Pingsha drank half a cup of tea, felt a little better, and snorted coldly.
"Jiang Lang's talent has run out", this phrase is like a shadow attached to the "old artist".
Sheng Pingsha doesn't like these two labels.
When he created "The Long River Under the Moon" that year, he was as young and poor as the protagonist in the play. He became a dream builder with a little talent and dream.
This work made him famous, but it also brought him to the peak of his career, and he has been on a downward spiral since then.
An old fan once left him a message saying, "If I asked you to write "The Moonlit River" now, would you still let them retire to the mountains? Looking at you now, I don't think so."
Sheng Pingsha was very angry about this comment a few years ago, but he had to admit that the other party was right.
What's the point of retreating to the mountains? Living a life of luxury and debauchery is more interesting!
After discovering that his work received mediocre response, Sheng Pingsha's market sense came into play and he stopped in time, preventing him from continuing to create more boring works.
But he did not intend to stop writing. On the contrary, he was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to reappear in everyone's vision.
The nanny car started smoothly. Sheng Pingsha looked at the night scene outside the window for a while, turned on his computer, and continued the unfinished work he had done before coming.
If someone who is a fan of both him and Shang Jingyan takes a look at this, he or she might be surprised:
Because this document deduces the plot outline and synopsis of "Witch of the Blizzard", and also lists several speculations from the forum.
In fact, it is normal for dream builders to do these things when studying. Even Shang Jingyan has to maintain input state at ordinary times.
But Sheng Pingsha was the one who arrogantly said "I never need to learn from my peers who are dream builders" in the past. Now he is analyzing a junior as much as he can. It is a bit ironic.
Snowstorm Villa and Murder on Deserted Island, these two words are what Sheng Pingsha has been thinking about recently. He has also checked a lot of works from the previous calendar and now he has a clear idea of what he wants to do.
It is easy for creators to get carried away during the brewing period. Sheng Pingsha typed the last period and said proudly, "Shang Jingyan just discovered the original idea of our ancestors from the pile of old papers before me. Wait until I publish it and see who can compete with me!"
The editor seemed to hesitate for a long time before he said, "Director Sheng, what if 'he' sees us?"
He didn't say the name, just a personal pronoun. But they both knew that this "he" was an old friend of Sheng Pingsha.
When Sheng Pingsha heard this, a moment of timidity flashed across his ambitious face, but soon turned into disdain: "After so many years, I am still in the circle, but I don't know where he has gone! A person who retired from the circle after getting married, why should he be mentioned?"
——Sheng Pingsha hasn’t created any works for more than ten years, of course not just because he can maintain his style.
Essentially, people like him are the least likely to quit at the height of their career.
It's not the so-called three rules. I already...
Many words flashed through Sheng Pingsha's mind, but he suppressed them all.
"Don't mention him again." He said in a deep voice.
On this side, Shang Jingyan walked under the bustling neon lights and entered a motel.
She came to find Pei Yi. Because she needed continued treatment, Pei Yi also followed Shang Jingyan to V066 and would not leave for the next month.
Shang Jingyan was fully armed and looked very suspicious at first glance, but fortunately, the interstellar people valued privacy, so Shang Jingyan did not need to take off his glasses and hat to enter the hotel.
She walked to Pei Yi's door and knocked on it while thinking, if the paparazzi knew about this, she could guess how she would appear in the news tomorrow:
[Shocking! The new Purple Star actually has an underground boyfriend, shattering the dreams of countless boys and girls! ]
[The first person of the new generation has a tryst with an amateur in the middle of the night, they are so affectionate, is it a beautiful woman in a golden house or a one-night stand? 】
[Who is Director Shang’s boyfriend? Is this the real-life version of “After Falling in Love with the Genius Dream Builder”? ]
No matter which world they are from, they will definitely turn to love at this time. Thinking of this, Shang Jingyan amused herself. When Pei Yi opened the door, he saw her laughing to herself: "?"
Pei Yi was curious: "What's wrong?"
Shang Jingyan: "Nothing, I just made up a rumor about you in my mind."
Pei Yi: “……?”
"Why are you here? Didn't you ask me to come find you?" Pei Yi stopped bothering with Shang Jingyan's teasing and asked after closing the door. He seemed to have just finished a shower, his hair was still wet and curled, hanging on his shoulders.
"If you go to my place, you will definitely be on the hot search the next day."
Those unethical news headlines will come true in another form, Shang Jingyan silently said in her heart. She took off her hat and smoothed her hair that was pressed down. "Your teahouse is open for three days and dry the net for two days. The owner closes the door and runs around all day. Is it really okay?"
When Pei Yi first met him, he said that the teahouse was going to close down and was planning to open in the main star system. Now that Shang Jingyan's fame had finally helped the teahouse to regain its popularity, the owner himself began to slack off.
However, Shang Jingyan knew that Pei Yi was doing this just as a hobby. Because of his externalization disorder, he would like this kind of retro things from the previous galaxy.
It could be seen when Lan Heyue went to Pei Yi's family's villa before that their family was not short of money.
"There aren't many real customers anyway. Opening it is basically just to make money from your fans. I'm so embarrassed."
Pei Yi said indifferently.
Shang Jingyan saw at a glance that the computer next to Pei Yi's bed was projecting the mental image simulation she had made last time. It was obvious that Pei Yi was looking at it before she came.
"Before I went to bed yesterday... I suddenly was able to visualize my mental image, although it was only for a short time. So just now I was staring at the simulation and trying hard to see if I could get in tonight."
Pei Yi said somewhat embarrassedly.
His recovery was even faster than Wei Wenbing's, and his spirit body no longer appeared frequently. For example, Shang Jingyan had not seen any Angora rabbits since he entered the door.
During the treatment, Shang Jingyan also felt something: if Pei Yi did not have externalization disorder, his original mental strength should not be bad, at least at the level of 85 points of grade B, while Wei Wenbing was at 71 points of grade C before he became ill.
Shang Jingyan had previously thought about why in Pei Yi's mental picture, the jellyfish monster was left with only a skin.
Is it the result of normal molting or the result of some abnormal situation?
First of all, the jellyfish monster is most likely the culprit that causes cavitation in humans. Considering the incidence of cavitation, their number must be very large.
Secondly, the number of known patients with externalization syndrome is extremely small compared to the entire syringomyelia group. The assumption that "monster shedding its skin will cause externalization syndrome" is definitely untenable - this can be inferred just by looking at Wei Wenbing, as he doesn't have any jellyfish skin.
So, all in all, was the appearance of the jellyfish skin there just an accident?
Or maybe... Pei Yi's mental power was automatically triggered to counterattack, killing the monster and turning it into a skin, but the sequelae was that he also suffered from externalization disorder?
Shang Jingyan personally prefers the latter, but at present this is just her guess, and there is not even much evidence.
Pei Yi lay down in the equipment—he had flown it here—and tilted his head to look at Shang Jingyan. But before long, his consciousness irresistibly fell into a deep sleep, and his eyes slowly closed.
The scenes in the mental picture will change according to the owner's wishes. The first significant change Shang Jingyan saw was that all the original children's Q-version things were raised and adjusted to the proportions of adults.
The rabbit got used to her visits and waited by the roadside early in the morning. It still didn't let her hold it, but liked to follow her.
Shang Jingyan floated to the candy house and found that it had not changed much. Perhaps that short period of time was not enough for Pei Yi to figure out how to adjust this relatively complex building.
There was a sign hanging in front of the hut that read: [Under construction, do not look! [Rabbit cross]]
Shang Jingyan: “…Puff.”
Most of the black fog had been cleared. After Shang Jingyan finished today's treatment, he saw the stick figure of the sun above the cabin.
She smiled in her heart, and before leaving, she added a sentence on the sign of the cabin so that Pei Yi would see it if he came again.
When Pei Yi woke up, he felt as comfortable as he had been through a mental spa, just like every time he had been treated before. Unfortunately, he could not recall what Shang Jingyan had done, only some residual memories like a dream, and in the dream... he had been following a big light bulb step by step?
He wondered.
"Your mental picture has changed, congratulations. I won't modify the simulation picture for you, you can try to modify it yourself." Shang Jingyan said with a smile. Doing so will definitely give you a greater sense of accomplishment.
Pei Yi's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Okay!"
Shang Jingyan was fed snacks as usual. While eating, she chatted with Pei Yi about what she had seen and heard from the production team and explained the rules of the program.
"If you can't think of anyone else for the vacant chef position," Pei Yi volunteered. "Director Shang, what do you think of me?"
Decorations and activities are just gimmicks. The real core of a food show must be food. Otherwise, even if the packaging is good, if the dishes are inedible, it will not retain customers.
The program team also took this into consideration. In order to ensure fair competition, the chef and chef robot of each dream builder are arranged by the program team. But at the same time, the program team also left room for the guests, and there is a chef position that the dream builder can choose.
Shang Jingyan touched his chin and said, "Oh, that's right. How could I have forgotten about you?"
She only remembered that Pei Yi could make desserts, and she fell into a blind spot in her thinking, not remembering that his overall cooking skills were very good.
"Then let's do it." Shang Jingyan immediately edited a message to Qin Xiao and created a group, "You, Yun Yongxue, um, the small kitchen team is complete!"
For those who are surprised by the news, all they have heard during this period is good news.
"Star River Wandering Kitchen" announced the rules of this season's variety show. The guests are divided into five groups of ten people. Each group needs to design their own small kitchen, and the final score is calculated based on the turnover.
In the next month, five groups of dream builders will carry out design work and open the "Shalili Food Street" in V066.
Fans who have the financial resources and free time have already started preparing in advance, going offline to enjoy delicious food and meet their idols.
The plot of "Infinite Heartbeat" is progressing steadily. Although General Lan Qinghe failed to save the driver, he saw the appearance of the monster in the villa for the first time. The trial participants finally found the direction and were no longer as anxious as headless flies.
When the driver opened the weapon box that they had left for them, they found a laser hand cannon inside. Lan Qing gave it to the general.
[It turns out that the general's weapon in the trailer came from here, inheriting the will of a companion he met by chance. It's both sad and exciting 555]
[That laser pistol also appeared in the trailer, it was on Lan Qing's waist. ]
[Are those who died in the trial field really dead? Will there be no chance in the future? I still can't accept this...]
After sharing life and death with Lan Qing, the two also trusted each other and agreed to be together in the next trial. The general told Lan Qing that his last name was Hua, and she didn't like her name, so she just needed to be called General Hua.
The next night, the two-headed ghost girl and the masked spider came again. They could not appear during the day, but they could repair their wounds and restore their fighting power. Both humans and monsters rested during the day and fought at night.
The dead on the third night managed to survive, but the crowd failed to inflict heavy damage on the monsters, and they still escaped. The ghost witch, as the mother, seemed to be under some kind of restraint and did not appear;
On the fourth night, everyone succeeded in killing the masked spider. Because a large part of the monsters' hatred had shifted from the people they wanted to kill every night to Lan Qing, Lan Qing boldly used herself as bait to lure the masked spider away.
That is also the scene that appears in the trailer. In the wooden hut outside the villa, the girl and the monster fight for their lives. In the end, the monster's blood dyed the snow red, and there was no sound.
The ghost girl witnessed this scene, shed tears of blood, screamed, and ran away unwillingly.
When day came, the masked spider did not turn into black ash, but its body was exposed to the sun - it would not appear again the next night.
The plot of the fifth night has just begun. This night is eerily calm, but all the audience feel that a storm is about to come.
Gamma galaxy.
"I saw you said the big boss is about to appear, does that mean the first unit is about to end?"
Lu Zibing was extremely anxious, and kept pointing at the TV series and then moving his hand away.
He had to be careful to avoid surfing the Internet these days. After the plot of "Infinite Heartbeat" gradually unfolded and the characters interacted, the editing exploded and he would occasionally see someone shouting "Lan Qing and General Hua kswl".
The sales of the two's peripheral products soared, while the third researcher who had not yet appeared fell behind. Lu Zibing even observed a magical phenomenon: some viewers were asking for no male lead!
He has been watching the works of Dream Builder for so many years, but this is the first time he has seen such a request. In the environment dominated by love, it can be described as a magical mudslide, which makes him even more curious: How exciting is the plot of "Infinite Heartbeat" that people don't even want to see the love line?
“…Forget it, I’d better wait for the end. I won’t be able to sleep if I keep following the updates.” Lu Zibing finally hardened his heart and opened the interface.
[I was thinking the same thing as the anchor a few days ago, and now I have fallen into the trap of urging people to update, it's so funny. ]
[Host, why don’t you go to the Exile Galaxy for a visit? I heard that the Chinese horror theme park there is about to open. If you are lucky, you might even be able to eat at the kitchen of Shangdao V066. ]
[Stop struggling. You seem to be having a boring time playing dating games lately. Come watch a horror movie! ]
Lu Zibing: "Haven't I also watched some horror films shot by others recently? Unfortunately, I feel that they don't have the flavor of Director Shang..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a comment: [Fuck! Am I dazzled? I just saw Sheng Pingsha release a trailer? ]
"Huh?" Lu Zibing was stunned, and quickly left the male protagonist who was confessing to the female protagonist in the game and clicked search.
The hot search term for #盛平沙再出山# in Exile Galaxy turned into [沸], and he used a proxy account, so it took him a long time to click in.
After many years, Sheng Pingsha announced that he would release his works again!
His new work is a short play called "Wizard Island", and only the introduction, label and trailer have been released so far.
Lu Zibing saw the highlight of the label at a glance and read it out in surprise: "'Island Killing Mode'... Isn't this the same idea as "The Witch in the Snowstorm"? "
Moreover, "wizard" and "witch", isn't this a bit too coincidental?
