The anti-fraud bureau needs a promotional video, and you're going to make a "Desperate Gam

The mysterious deaths of a large number of physicists prompted the military's operations center to urgently convene a meeting with people from multiple countries to discuss a major plan.

Zhong, a national-level veteran actor, plays Chang Weisi, who wants to invite Wang Miao to act as an undercover agent.

All three actors were ready to go, and with a shout of "Action!" the performance officially began.

Chang Weisi spoke first: "Let me introduce myself, I am Chang Weisi. As far as we know, many of the scholars who committed suicide had connections with the scientific frontier, some were even members. So far, this organization has not committed any crimes. I heard that you seem to have had contact with this group recently?"

The veteran actor's powerful delivery of lines was on full display; the intonation and pauses of each word were just right, making the listener feel as if they were being soothed by a gentle breeze. To put it simply, you could understand what the actor was saying even without subtitles.

Wang Miao responded, "That's right, they invited me to the banquet."

Shi Qiang gave people a sense of unruliness from the very beginning.

The three men's postures were quite interesting. Chang Weisi and Wang Miao sat upright on the sofa, taking the matter very seriously. In contrast, Shi Qiang sat casually on the table, touching and fiddling with things like a bored child. His appearance seemed to tell everyone that he had little interest in the matter.

"What specific details? Including the contact person's name, the time and place of the meeting, the content of the conversation, and if you exchanged information or have each other's email addresses, please mention that as well."

Shi Qiang seemed to be caught up in his professional habit; as he spoke, he pulled out a notebook from his pocket, ready to take notes. Chang Weisi, seeing this, interrupted, "Big Shi!"

"Your occupational hazard has kicked in again."

Shi Qiang gave an awkward smile and quickly put away his notebook.

To express his apology, Wang Miao continued, "The person who invited me is Shen Yufei, a foreign physicist who works for a foreign company and conducts nanotechnology research. We met at a technical seminar. At that seminar, she introduced me to some physics experts, both domestic and foreign."

A classic triangular composition, three veteran actors, all award-winning performers, deliver powerful and unparalleled performances. No need for adjustment; they can start filming as soon as they receive the script. No retakes? Absolutely not.

"go on."

"We didn't talk much."

"Why?" Shi Qiang couldn't help but interject again.

“I work in applied physics, while they were talking about fundamental physics, which I’m not familiar with. So I basically just listened to their discussions and debates. However, these people have profound thoughts and novel viewpoints, and listening to their conversations has been quite enlightening for me.” Chen Qiang’s grasp of this role is so deep that his speech is logically clear, consisting almost entirely of short sentences.

The three conveyed a wealth of information to the audience through conversation, a highly efficient approach. This lengthy dialogue foreshadowed later developments.

Didn't they ask you to join?

After thinking for a moment, Wang Miao replied, "I was invited, but I have limited energy and declined."

Shi Qiang bluntly questioned, "To be honest."

From the moment Wang Miao first saw Shi Qiang, she disliked this rude policeman, and she probably wouldn't like him in the future.

Wang Miao had been holding back, but Shi Qiang's provocative words angered him. "I'm just telling the truth, there's no need for me to hide it from you."

Shi Qiang swayed slightly, looking nonchalant, not taking the matter to heart at all.

"What will happen to your nanotechnology if physics ceases to exist?"

Wang Miao answered slowly and deliberately, "I said I study applied physics. Even if physics no longer exists, my nanotechnology experiments can continue."

Wang Miao explained three times, each time with a worse attitude and a faster pace of speech.

He felt that Shi Qiang was beyond redemption and there was no need to argue with a policeman who didn't understand physics; it was a complete waste of time.

Yu Wei's performance was incredibly vivid, perfectly capturing Shi Qiang's carefree and easygoing personality.

Chang Wei tried to ease the tension and said, "Professor Wang, it's like this, we invited you here today because we want you to join this organization and learn about their internal information through you."

"You mean you want me to go undercover?"

Shi Qiang sat up from the table, chuckled, and said with a hint of provocation, "Hehe, an undercover agent."

"What are you laughing at?" Chang Weisi said sternly, reprimanding Shi Qiang for his lack of manners.

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't do this."

“This matter is very complicated. We are on the verge of an abyss, walking on thin ice. Without your support, we will find it very difficult to move forward.” Even after saying all this, Wang Miao still stuck to his principles, bowed his head in thought, and refused again: “I am very busy and do not have time.”

Chang Weisi slapped his thighs, expressing his regret. He had great respect for nanoscientist Wang Miao. "Thank you for coming today, I'm sorry to have taken up your precious time."

Shi Qiang patted the sofa in front of him and began to goad him: "I think this is a good idea. I don't agree with this plan at all. So many bookworms have already committed suicide. If you send someone like this, isn't that like throwing good money after bad?"

Wang Miao was completely enraged and glared at Shi Qiang. "The way you talk is really not like a qualified police officer."

Shi Qiang said nonchalantly, "I wasn't one to begin with, hehe."

Wang Miao reiterated that he was furious because of Shi Qiang's insult to physics.

"The cause of death of those scholars has not yet been investigated, so you should not judge them with such contempt."

They have contributed so much to humanity with their wisdom; they deserve more respect than anyone else.

"What do you mean? You think they're better than me? I'm not going to take my own life just because of a few words of nonsense. As for Professor Wang, I really have no confidence in you. I really have no confidence in you."

"You mean I'll commit suicide too?"

"At the very least, I have to think about your safety."

“No need. In that situation, I’m safer than you. A person’s discernment is directly proportional to their knowledge base.”

"Someone as fragile as you—"

“Da Shi!” Chang Weisi interrupted him again.

The argument between the two came to an end.

As it turns out, a good adaptation can be achieved simply by remaining faithful to the original work, especially in terms of the nuances of the dialogue.

This long dialogue closely follows the plot of the original Three-Body Problem novel. Faithfulness to the original work is the foundation of any adaptation.

"Perhaps some people will never understand what the scientific community is like in their entire lives," Shi Qiang continued, using reverse psychology.

He didn't want Wang Miao to join the Science Frontier organization, feeling that someone as fragile as him couldn't handle it.

It was Shi Qiang's repeated provocations that made the stubborn Wang Miao waver.

Shi Qiang, hands in his pockets, left the room nonchalantly, leaving behind the words, "Don't ever go to the frontiers of science, okay?"

The noisy Shi Qiang finally left, leaving only Chang Weisi and Wang Miao in the room.

Chang Weisi explained, "That Da Shi, that's just his temperament. Actually, he's a very experienced criminal investigator and counter-terrorism expert. More than 20 years ago, when I was a company commander, he was one of my soldiers. Given the current situation, we really need him. Professor Wang, if you have any questions, you can talk to me."

Wang Miao did have a question in his mind.

The military's involvement in this incident involving a group of scientists indicates that the matter is very serious.

Chang Weisi told Wang Miao that on the surface, the world seemed calm and there were no hot topics, but a silent war had already begun.

"Soon, you and everyone else will understand everything."

"You mean we're about to face war?"

Chang Weisi paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "Professor Wang, let me ask you a personal question. Have you ever experienced a major life-changing event? I mean, the kind that suddenly alters your life. Like waking up one morning and finding the world completely different."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Miao shook his head, indicating that he did not.

"That was a coincidence in your life. The world is vast, and there are many unpredictable factors, but isn't it strange that your life remained unchanged?"

A thought-provoking question has emerged.

The absence of change is the biggest change of all.

The complacent humans began to ponder the ultimate reason for all of this. (End of Chapter)
