Virtual Superstar Breeding Diary

The first round of screenings of the movie "Chaoyang" was a great success, and it reversed the negative trend on the Internet overnight.

As the leading actor, Xie Ting still performed steadily and did not disappoint the majority of movie fans. On the contrary, Xiao Chen, a popular newcomer idol who had the lowest expectations and was even regarded as a "failure" by many netizens, made his debut on the stage amazing and even more impressive .

Xiao Chi's Twitter forum is full of fancy praise every day, and the popularity even overwhelmed Xie Ting at one point, and the popular search index is getting higher and higher day by day.

"No one is more suitable for the role of such a great beauty than my Shen Shen!"

"Sinking every day is better than living gods!"

"I already have a premonition that after the official release, the additional rivals in love will be able to circle the earth thirty times!"

"I want to give this crap movie one star! Why does everyone like the heroine! Obviously our Shen Chen is much better-looking than the heroine!"

"...Don't recruit gangsters for the stupid fans upstairs!"

However, with the rapid increase in audience traffic, discordant voices are also getting louder:

"Hehe, what do you rely on to snatch other people's roles, and you are crazy about adding scenes to yourself and reducing other people's roles, don't you have any points in your heart?"

"There are so many dramas for a mere boy, how about the reincarnation of the drama master?"

"The make-up is thicker than that of a female ghost, how dare you brag about your beauty?"

"If you can't be ranked in the third round, don't take it out and make it embarrassing."

"No need to judge me as a pure passer-by, but the vase fans are still bragging about their acting skills, Lu Sheng is better than him! #国奖我声哥一个最好新人奖#"

The two groups of fans quarreled fiercely on social platforms. Xiao Chen's fans suffered from the lack of actual results in the hands of the real master, and they were at a disadvantage. Everyone was holding a breath in their hearts, and they were looking forward to this time "Chaoyang" being nominated for Baiming After being nominated for the best film at the film festival, the owner can win a best newcomer.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the news that Xiao Chi will star in the suspenseful literary film "Inner Devil" by the new director Lin Lu once again added fuel to the boiling oil.

Xiao Chi's fans seemed to be injected with a booster, running around telling each other:

"Although some little deaf and blind people just refuse to admit the fact that I, Shen, is already more powerful and stronger than the owner of the family, but it doesn't matter, it's enough for the big guys in the industry to admit it. Hee hee!"

"Seeing some black and unconvincing looks, I am more happy to eat a bowl of rice!"

"Who would dare to ridicule us that Shen Chen can't be ranked in the third round? This time, from the first male to the third male, Shen Chen will play alone!"

Of course Xiao Chi's opponents would not stop there, they couldn't ridicule the position, and they could curse the box office reputation, but no matter what they scolded, Xiao Chi's new album "Sweet Life" took advantage of this craze, and the sales did not drop On the contrary, it is rising steadily, and it is about to break the sales record of the newcomer's first album.

It's summer.

In the scorching heat of the afternoon, the noisy main road was twisted in the rising heat waves, and the green belts on both sides were filled with the humming of cicadas, which made people fall asleep.

The temperature of the air conditioner in the car was comfortable, Liu Bing went back to the company to deal with some trivial matters, Qin Huai sent Xiao Chi to the psychotherapy room, and while waiting for him to come back, he listened to the boring cicadas and lazily took a nap in the car.

Following the address on the metal business card, Xiao Chi found Professor Xiao Rui's psychological clinic, which was located on the second floor of a five-story private apartment.

The registration at the front desk was a petite simulated female artificial intelligence. She was wearing a decent black uniform and exquisite makeup. She led Xiao Chi to sit on the bench in the waiting area and asked him if he wanted coffee or tea.If you don't look carefully, you may not even find that she is just an artificial intelligence.

This Professor Xiao Rui seems to prefer cool colors. The entire corridor, from the walls to the tiles, is in a plain white and silver-gray metal style.

Xiao Chi waited for less than 5 minutes, the door of the consultation room opened, and the registrar led him in.

The consultation room is brightly lit, but the windows are tightly covered with heavy curtains. The environment is closed. The light gray floor tiles and silver gray walls give people the feeling of being in a sealed cabin poured with reinforced concrete.

Behind the desk, sat a man wearing a black long-sleeved shirt. His hair was combed extremely neatly. He was not very old in his 30s, but he had a few gray hairs. Behind the lenses, a pair of deep-socketed eyes looked faintly. Chi looked over and revealed a smile that he expected.

"Mr. Xiao, I didn't expect you to come so soon. I thought it would take a few more days." Professor Xiao Rui pointed to a black soft chair in the middle, inviting him to sit down, while he himself sat opposite, holding hands There was a soft copy bound in brown paper.

Xiao Chi looked around curiously for a moment, then sat down on the chair, holding a cup of scented tea in his hand, he had never tasted this flavor, but he thought it suits the taste unexpectedly.

"Your assistant has contacted me to inquire about the status of multiple personality patients so that they can appear in the new movie smoothly, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Chi nodded, and looked at him seriously. The other party's eyes were focused and deep, which made people have an inescapable illusion, "My manager will talk to you about the consulting fees..."

In fact, Xiao Chi didn't take this matter too seriously. With his learning ability, he only needs to find a few more relevant psychology books, and then search for similar classic interpretations from the database, and he can learn seven. Eighty percent.

However, this Professor Xiao Rui always made him a little curious, and there seemed to be some kind of strange connection between the scene in the dream and this consulting room, which made him feel an indescribable déjà vu.

The closer the distance, the stronger this feeling.

"The cost and time have nothing to do with it. It is my honor. As I said, I am your loyal audience."

The man turned over one page of the soft copy in his hand, and there was a photo of Xiao Chi when he made his debut in the star show. Xiao Rui handed over the photo with a polite smile: "Can you please sign me again?"

"Oh, of course." The angle of the photo was taken very close to him, Xiao Chi glanced at it, without thinking much, he signed his name casually.

"Thank you." Xiao Rui put away the photo and solemnly placed it in a golden frame on the coffee table.

Xiao Chi noticed that there was another photo there, which was a group photo of a man and a little boy.

"Is that your son? So cute."

Xiao Rui's movements paused slightly, his eyes fell on the unknown void, as if reminiscing, and he said lightly: "Yes, he is very beautiful, very healthy, and very smart... It is my pride. His The ideal is to become an idol star, shine brightly on stage, and be loved by the audience. Unfortunately..."

Xiao Chi noticed that the other party's expression was a bit strange, as expected, Professor Xiao Rui smiled wryly: "But he passed away many years ago, it was a car accident, and the doctor failed to revive him."

Xiao Chi didn't know what to say to comfort him for a while, so he just apologized.

Xiao Rui smiled and shook his head: "I don't blame anyone, I only blame myself. If my research could make a breakthrough earlier, maybe everything would be different."

Xiao Chi was a little puzzled, would psychological research be helpful in treating patients seriously injured in car accidents?

However, he wisely did not continue the topic.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things. You want to know the state of multiple personality patients, right?" Xiao Rui went around behind the desk, turned his back, and searched for something in the combination locker.

After a while, he took out a black square box, which contained a silver helmet with a strange shape, as if a motorcycle hat had a ring of donuts on it.

"What I just say with my mouth can't be clear in a few words. This is a bio-realistic helmet. By setting different personalities, after wearing it, you can directly listen to the conversations of multiple personalities in the virtual world and feel the emotions of patients with multiple personalities." The inner world. Don't worry, once the helmet is taken off, it will no longer have any influence on you."

Xiao Chi took the helmet with both hands, held it in his hand, the weight was a little heavy, carefully observed it from the outside to the inside, and suddenly asked: "Then how does the virtual intelligence wear it, what will happen? Will it produce an intelligence that cannot be conscious?"

Professor Xiao Rui was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile: "You can't ask me about this, but it's just a good suggestion, you can study it some other day."

He straightened Xiao Chi's head posture, put the helmet on for him, connected the data cables one by one, and the projection screen showed regular brain wave lines.

Xiao Rui stared at Xiao Chi from the mirror: "Then, what kind of personality does the protagonist of the movie you are about to play have?"

Xiao Chi thought for a while, and said: "Besides himself, there is an innocent childhood personality, a love-minded girl personality, and a mature male personality with violent tendencies."

"Then, I will randomly select some avatars with similar experiences directly from the database, okay?"

Xiao Chi closed his eyes, and the moment the electric current was connected, he suddenly trembled all over, as if his consciousness was pulled out of his body by some invisible force!

Opening his eyes subconsciously, a green wheat field appeared in his vision. A little boy in overalls was running carefree in the wheat field, and his laughter like silver bells echoed in the vast field.

"Big Brother! Big Brother! Are you here to play with me?"

"It's so boring and lonely here, take me out, okay?"

Xiao Chi's consciousness was drawn towards the boy, his field of vision suddenly turned around, the boy disappeared, and the wheat field disappeared, replaced by the cold corridor in the hospital, the hospital bed with hanging bottles was pushed towards the operating room .

Xiao Chi was a little puzzled, the moment he passed the mirror glass, he turned his head slightly, and suddenly widened his eyes - he turned into a boy!

……

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao? Wake up."

The call was as ethereal as a cloud floating down from the sky, Xiao Chi stepped on the cloud with one foot deep and the other shallow, his consciousness was light and effortless, and after a long while, he could barely return to the cage.

When he woke up, he saw the cold psychological consultation room, the black leather single chair, and Professor Xiao Rui's slightly worried face.

"Are you okay? It's best not to wear the bio-realistic helmet for more than 10 minutes. Today's time has come."

"Ah? Only 10 minutes?" Xiao Chi glanced at the wall clock awkwardly, he almost thought that half a lifetime had passed.

"Such a virtual world will indeed produce a chaotic sense of time and space, and you will be fine after a short rest." Classroom Xiao Rui smiled gently, "Does it help you?"

"It's okay." Xiao Chi glanced at the helmet with nostalgia. For some reason, he had a wonderful feeling of returning to his childhood—but as a virtual idol, where is his childhood?

"If you need anything, you can come to me anytime."

It's night, Ji Zhai.

Ji Chenxuan returned home in a hurry after working all day, the TV in the living room was on, but Xiao Chi was nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Chi is taking a bath in the bathroom, the door is unlocked, clothes are thrown out one by one, the sound of gurgling water flowing out from the crack of the door, entangled with the ambiguous warm light makes people daydream.

Ji Chenxuan stood at the door for a while, his eyes fixed on the doorknob that opened as soon as he pushed it, and he was having a fierce ideological struggle in his heart - whether to go in or not to go in, this is a question.

Or... let's go in, anyway, I have to freshen up, saving water resources is everyone's responsibility.

Just when his hand was about to put on the doorknob, Xiao Chi's hazy voice was vaguely screened out by the sound of rushing water:

"...I miss you so much, I want to kiss your lips, touch your collarbone..."

Ji Chenxuan's hand that pushed the door stopped suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth began to rise wildly, but he still tried his best to maintain his last restraint: "You bastard, you are really getting less and less ashamed...Such explicit words, Who taught you this?"

But it's okay, I like it.

It seems that Xiao Chi's confession is not over yet: "...But you always ignore me, I watch you from afar, talking and laughing happily with other girls..."

Ji Chenxuan was startled, and frowned: "Who spread rumors for you? When did I talk and laugh with other girls?"

"...I have no choice but to leave silently, wishing you from the bottom of my heart..."

It's worth it!

Ji Chenxuan was in a hurry, pushed open the bathroom door, and grabbed the naked Xiao Chi anxiously: "Where do you want to go? I can catch you anywhere!"

The hot shower drenched both of them, Xiao Chi wiped his face, and looked at him strangely through the rushing water: "I'm memorizing the lines of a new play, what are you doing? You want to wash too? Why? Don't take off your clothes?"

Ji Chenxuan: "..."

He turned around embarrassingly, revealing a bunch of reddish ear tips, pretending that this embarrassing oolong never existed: "Didn't you just read the lines once? Why do you need to practice while taking a bath?"

Xiao Chi scratched his head embarrassingly: "I don't know what's going on recently, I need to practice a lot more, otherwise it's easy to forget..."
