Elena was sitting on a stool, and a makeup artist was touching up her makeup.
"Move quickly, Chris will become suspicious if it takes too long." Elena urged.
"Honestly, I don't think he would find it strange." A man with a mustache was looking at an LCD screen. On the screen was Christopher sitting with his hands folded, waiting for Elena: "Our protagonist is an extremely simple guy."
"More than just innocence," Elena curled her lips: "The flowers in the greenhouse are considered to be flattering, but the grass grown in a sterile environment is almost the same."
The man with the mustache showed dissatisfaction: "Elena, I have told you many times that your true evaluation of Chris should be kept in your heart. You have not had good resources in recent years, so you have no choice but to return to "The Chris Show" this time. Our purpose is to stir up this cold rice and gain some attention."
"What we are announcing to the public is that you have never let go of Chris, your childhood friend, and it took a long time after asking Director James to allow you to return to the show as a guest star. Firstly, this is in line with your loyal and affectionate persona, and secondly, this is your ten When we get together again after the new year, the topic will be very high.”
"So, no matter how much you despise Chris, please say good things about him in public and talk more about your experience of co-starring together. People nowadays are most obsessed with memories."
Mustache is Elena's agent. He has a tough attitude and speaks fiercely but from the bottom of his heart. He knows that Elena's acting career prospects are not optimistic. This time she came to "The Chris Show" can be said to be a desperate move. If she fails to become popular, Elena, who was ranked second in the world ten years ago, will The most popular child stars can only choose to fade out of the circle.
By the way, the most popular child actor at that time was Christopher, played by Yun Ming. He remained at the top of the list for fifteen consecutive years, unrivaled. Later, he fell off the list just because he became an adult (in this world, he is 15 years old). years old as adulthood).
That's right, the script Yun Ming entered this time is actually a reality show similar to "The Truman Show", and it is named after the protagonist Chris.
As for the opening CG and supporting narration that Yun Ming saw when he entered the script, they were all fictional settings created by the show's director James Hut and a group of gold medal screenwriters.
I have to say that this group of people have very clever ideas. They first fabricated a fictitious war, which provided a perfect explanation for the existence of Underground City No. 65, and also saved a large amount of funds originally planned for building artificial skies.
Secondly, the setting of the dungeon is also a masterpiece. Underground City No. 65 is characterized by the screenwriters as an agricultural product base that provides food to higher-level underground cities and is equipped with some simple basic living facilities. The only way it communicates with the outside world is railway transportation, which limits Christopher's escape in the future. road.
The huge studio is interpreted as a small underground city, so it naturally has boundaries. Christopher always knew that the underground city No. 65 he was in was a small independent enclosed space, but he never thought that it was actually just a very large artificial location.
The series of lies was successful. Christopher never felt anything was wrong with his life. Maybe he had some simple suspicions, but they certainly couldn't be connected to the reality show. In fact, Christopher doesn't even know what a reality show is because he has no access to any outside information. Information dissemination media such as television, radio, and the Internet are described in orphanage textbooks as "high-end, lost technological products." Yun Ming stayed in this script for more than an hour. Except for a phone on the office table and a watch on his wrist, he saw nothing with higher technological content.
Roughly speaking, James Not Deaf and his team threw Christopher to an era where the level of technology and productivity was almost the same as that of Europe at the end of the 19th century, and this throw lasted twenty-five years. In the past twenty-five years, Christopher's perceptions have come from false creations, and many of them are wrong.
James is worthy of being a famous director and a maniac for details. This ability to strive for perfection can be seen from the fact that Christopher has not doubted it for decades.
As for whether Christopher has ever had the idea of leaving Dungeon 65 to go out and have a look, of course he has. Previously, he wrote a letter to his "superiors" requesting an external transfer, which was undoubtedly rejected. After Yun Ming solved the memo puzzle, he glanced at the reply letter a few times while looking through the documents, but he didn't think about it at all at that time.
What's even more incredible is that the screenwriters concocted a huge train accident. Of course, the accident did not happen, but many "Chris Show" extras made it vivid, and the news that the railway line was interrupted due to the damage of the accident reached Chris's ears as expected. Therefore, in Chris's eyes, the connection between Underground City 65 and the outside world has been cut off. Until it is repaired, there is no way to leave Underground City 65.
Elena's return is also a move by James. Looking back on Elena's acting career, it is enough to say that her debut is the peak. This girl has been acting with Chris since she was four years old. She has been on "The Chris Show" for eleven years. She is a well-deserved heroine and a well-known female child star.
But later Elena got tired of continuing to participate in "The Chris Show", and after paying a sky-high liquidated damages, James finally let her go.
However, the embarrassing thing is that after leaving "The Chris Show", her development was quite sluggish. The successful transformation she imagined did not happen. Within a few years, she was washed away by the changes in the entertainment industry, and she had no choice but to return to "The Chris Show" Fried rice.
James welcomes Elena's return. Because he felt that Christopher had "rebellion", and the letter applying for external transfer was the evidence. James's plan is to let Elena return to Dungeon 65. Chris sees that his old lovers are back, and the dormant relationship will most likely be rekindled, so there is no way he would want to run away; and Elena also needs someone. A good platform will attract more viewers. The two hit it off immediately, and tonight's tryst was just the beginning.
In the previous chapter, Elena held accountable the writing team through the headset, because Chris, or Yun Ming's response disrupted all the previous plans made by the crew.
The real Christopher definitely has a place for Elena in his heart. This is clear to everyone from the director to the set staff, and even countless audiences. So in the original script, after Elena bursts into tears, Christopher will definitely be shocked and unsteady, and then Elena will hug her head and mouth. Just as the two were kissing passionately, Laura, who had been waiting in ambush outside the restaurant for a long time, rushed in and stood beside them with a golden sword... You can watch the rest of the story for yourself.
This episode, given Christopher's character, is very likely to happen. Both James and Elena's mustache manager are looking forward to this conflict scene. But things went against expectations. The system asked Yun Ming to take over Christopher's body. Yun Ming had no idea that there was so much danger behind this date. He was simply completing the task given by the system [Explain your relationship with Elena to Laura].
This task is very delicate. How should Yun Ming explain it? Of course it's "ordinary friends", "childhood friends" and "no relationship". How could Yun Ming cooperate with Elena's passionate embrace? This would make the task more difficult.
Moreover, the game mechanism of "Conquer the World" is very advanced and sound. Players are not allowed to have too close physical contact with the script NPC in any form. Yun Ming can't do it even if he wants to, the system will force him to avoid Erin. Na's backstory.
So from the beginning when Yun Ming received this task, his response strategy was to be "open-minded", "let go" and "look away". James. Not even deaf. Christopher's body was taken over by the player's consciousness.
"Well... I said those words to Elena. I shouldn't be able to eat this meal. The date is almost over. Why haven't we waited for Laura yet?" Yun Ming was wondering about Laura's whereabouts. He reasoned that Laura would probably show up when he was dating Elena. Because he didn’t know where Christopher lived and whether Laura was at home, he could just walk around in Dungeon 65 after dinner. If he didn’t meet Laura, then this mission would be out of the question.
To take a step back, Yun Ming found Chris's home and Laura was still there, so her question should have been "Where did you go tonight" rather than "What is your relationship with the woman you had dinner with tonight?" The task [Explain your relationship with Elena to Laura] does not match.
"Sorry, I was too excited just now." Elena returned from applying makeup, interrupting Yun Ming's thinking.
"It's okay, let's talk about other things." Yun Ming skipped the previous topic and decided to change the topic: "How many days will you stay back this time?"
"I finally asked." Elena was overjoyed, with a smile on her face: "I had thought about this before I came back. I decided to stay forever and never leave again."
"Oh, that's it. Well, why did you leave before?" Yun Ming really didn't know.
"We will be released from the orphanage when we become adults. You will be assigned to a farm by the city government, while I will go to another city to work as a nurse." This answer was controlled by James. This was the reason Elena used to excuse Chris when she quit "The Chris Show". "Government assignment of work" is not only in line with the setting of this world, but also conveniently restricts Christopher's freedom.
"Yes, I forgot again."
"You are really..." Elena was quite disappointed.
Yun Ming smiled "hehe" and did not argue: "Elena, I wanted to ask you before, how many days have you been back in Dungeon 65?"
"Just these two days." Elena didn't notice anything wrong: "What's wrong?"
"So what's strange to me is, how did you come back?"
"What?"
Yun Ming Youyou said: "Wasn't the only access road closed due to the train accident on the 4th? Today is the 18th. You want to say that you came back here before the accident, but it took more than half a month to make an appointment. me?"
"Not very logical, is it?"
Elena really didn't expect this, so she hesitated and couldn't answer. Fortunately, James reacted quickly and immediately called in the person who broke the situation.
"Chris!" A well-timed voice of surprise came, attracting Yun Ming's attention: "Didn't you say you wanted to stay and work overtime? Who is this woman?"
Laura appears.
"Well, we're finally here." Yun Ming calmly pointed at Elena and said, "I don't know this lady's real name. Let's just call her Elena. Please allow me to explain that I and Elena Ms. Na’s relationship.”
"we are……"
"Colleagues who work together."
