secret movie

That evening, when Duan Shu left the FH Technology building and went home to rest, Yao Xiaoxiao came to pick him up.

The girl with a round face and short hair sat in the passenger seat, looking back at him curiously from time to time.

After not seeing each other for a week, Yao Xiaoxiao was full of curiosity about his experiences during this time.

However, due to the confidentiality agreement, Duan Shu could not disclose the specific experience process to the curious Yao Xiaoxiao, and could only answer her excited questions in ambiguous terms.

"Does it feel real? Then can I open a harem and find a bunch of boyfriends in this virtual world in the future?"

Duan Shu thought for a while, and replied helplessly: "They are not stupid, they will find out, can you handle so many relationships at the same time?"

"Well, I can't." Yao Xiaoxiao sighed, and then thought of something, "Are computers really that smart? Why don't I let Lao Zhao go in to experience it and learn from artificial intelligence after it becomes popular? How to talk about love."

Lao Zhao is Yao Xiaoxiao's boyfriend, an introverted engineer who is thirsty for knowledge, and he and Duan Shu are considered acquaintances.

Duan Shu couldn't help but said, "There's a lot of freedom there, maybe Lao Zhao will spend every day in the library, hurrying up to read and study."

"...Forget it, forget it, I didn't say anything." Yao Xiaoxiao shuddered, and then pondered, "Brother Duan, what did you experience in it? Have you fallen in love?"

Hearing her gossip tone, Duan Shu smiled and looked away, looking at the passing scenery outside the car window.

"can not tell you."

This is his secret.

Listening to his short answer, Yao Xiaoxiao gradually revealed a relaxed smile on his brows and eyes: "You must have had a good time there."

Duan Shu nodded: "This is a very special experience."

Although in the end he failed to complete the task assigned by Qi Yan and did not change the logic of Zeus's system operation, Qi Yan said it was okay, at least his brain nerves and the world in the brain did have some kind of resonance, which caused the abnormal condition of the body It's getting better.

He said that it will take a long time to come.

"Xiaoxiao, help me buy some drawing tools and materials." Duan Shu said suddenly, "I want to learn to draw."

Before Yao Xiaoxiao could ask, he had already explained: "I have an unfinished painting, and I want to finish it in reality."

The painting without the sound.

When Yao Xiaoxiao heard this, he was silent for a moment, and looked at him seriously: "Brother Duan, I think there seems to be something different about you."

He started talking about himself proactively.

He always remembered what Li Jianian had said to him.

Sunlight quietly fell on his fair fingers through the window glass, illuminating the light blue blood vessels spreading.

"I don't have hypoglycemia." Duan Shu added, "I used to eat chocolate from time to time, just because I crave sweets when I'm low."

Yao Xiaoxiao was stunned, and then said: "Then I'll find you some sweets and snacks with different flavors for you later, okay? I'll always get tired of eating chocolate."

Duan Shu nodded, "Okay."

"Brother Duan, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"I don't know, do you have anything to eat?"

"Come here, come and see the restaurants I have saved up these days. Lao Zhao and his company went on a group tour, and they took pictures of the delicious and spicy food every day. I couldn't help my loneliness, so I went to eat a lot of restaurants by myself. "

"No wonder your face is a little rounder again, it looks more obvious after not seeing you for a few days."

"...Do you want to hear about Lu Dao?"

"...Did you do it on purpose?"

"Brother Duan, you've really changed!"

A week later, Zhao Yuan's crew ended the filming ahead of schedule and left the closed island.

She vaguely knew that Duan Shu who left in a hurry after finishing the filming work seemed to be sick, so he disappeared after returning. The assistant helped him reject all his films for the next year, and told her that Duan Shu might not be able to participate in the future A follow-up campaign to "Prison Bird," even if it's a movie he's brought up.

Zhao Yuan didn't know whether what happened to Duan Shu had anything to do with her crew, so she was always apprehensive, and found Duan Shu as soon as the filming was over.

Duan Shu was at home that day, and the painting tools Yao Xiaoxiao bought for him had already been delivered. He directly used the deserted and empty living room as a studio, and put the vertical easel in front of the French windows, and he started to learn painting seriously.

After coming out of the world of Zeus, the feeling of being able to sway freely with a brush in hand is no longer there. He needs to learn from scratch. Fortunately, the perception and aesthetics of the picture have not disappeared, which is something that belongs to him.

Moreover, at least his fingers can control the brush strokes freely. Compared with the loss of rotation in the previous three parts, the current situation is much better, and at least half of the time in a week is completely normal.

When Zhao Yuan saw the drawing board in his living room, she was in a daze for a moment, as if she had returned to the movie set she had just left, the unknown painter trapped in the old house.

Zhao Yuan thought and thought, but she couldn't ask him why he suddenly learned to draw in a familiar tone, but asked him carefully how he was doing recently, as usual.

Duan Shu could hear the uneasiness in Zhao Yuan's voice, so he looked at her seriously: "My physical problem has nothing to do with your crew, so don't think too much about it. Did the filming go well?"

"It went well. Brother Li helped me a lot. Thanks to my brother's advice."

She always has a lot of thanks to say, but Duan Shu looked at her and interrupted her without a trace: "That's good, it will be an excellent movie."

Before Zhao Yuan could heave a sigh of relief, he continued: "If you think you get along well with Brother Li, you can discuss with him whether you want him to continue to produce the next film. Of course, you can also choose to contact other people, and there will be more Good chance to find you."

"But I won't be reading your next script."

Zhao Yuan raised her head in panic, her tone suddenly became urgent: "Brother, is it me..."

"The script of "Prisoner Bird" is very good, and you filmed it very well." Duan Shu's tone was gentle, "You have already made a good start, in fact, you don't need someone to stand behind you all the time, and you don't have to rely on anyone .Just because I've discovered your talent doesn't mean you're going to stay in my shadow forever."

After experiencing the story of the substitute for himself, Duan Shu realized that his original purpose of finding Zhao Yuan was wrong, so he wanted to end this mistake.

The island girl with low self-esteem and timidity already has her first feature film, so she should have her own brilliance.

"That's not my crew, it's your crew, you should be tough enough, you don't have to look at people's faces all the time." He was comforting the girl who was always surrounded by insecurities, "If you encounter something beyond your ability You can come to me. But more often, you can try to rely on yourself to truly become strong."

Zhao Yuan came to the big city from her backward and closed hometown, experienced many ups and downs, and never cried.

At this moment, her eyes turned red quietly, and what fell into the air was still the words she had said countless times: "Thank you, senior brother."

Duan Shu handed her the tissue: "It's okay."

"I just realized this truth."

Li Jianian disappeared, but he still has himself.

Many people in the circle heard about Duan Shu's temporary suspension of work, and sent messages to greet him one after another, some of them were genuinely concerned, and some were inquiring about their personal interests.

Lu Mingye also sent a message to Duan Shu.

This director, who is now very popular and has almost been promoted to the altar, is still working hard for his magnificent-sounding "Big Dream", and he has not given up the idea of ​​persuading his former partners.

Seeing this name again, Duan Shu looked extraordinarily calm. He politely replied to the other party's letter and declined his invitation.

That's it.

There are always some people and things that cannot be kept.

But when he received the news from Director Lin, Duan Shu hesitated whether to ask the other party something when he thought of the hotel breakfast far away, the famous director who no one recognized after he shaved off his beard, and the man with cold words who were shrouded in sunlight. , In the end, I still didn't ask the exit.

Maybe if you ask Qi Yan, you will get a more accurate answer.

Since we separated in the research building that day, he and Qi Yan hadn't been in contact again, but Dr. Chen, who had obtained his body monitoring data, called excitedly from time to time and said some esoteric-sounding medical terms to him.

Duan Shu's body's insensitivity parts are still those three, hands, back, and legs, and now there will be intermittent problems.

This mysterious encounter brought about a huge change in his life, and now he no longer finds it absurd, but tries to accept their existence.

But on the second day when his legs continued to show symptoms, he took the initiative to call Qi Yan to contact him for the next treatment.

Maybe it's because the loss of feeling in this part has deeply affected daily life, maybe it's because he wants to see Qi Yan.

Since it was inconvenient for him to travel, Qi Yan picked him up this time.

The black car that looked simple and smooth was parked in the basement. Qi Yan went upstairs to pick him up, but didn't enter the door. He pushed Duan Shu, who was in a wheelchair, into the elevator smoothly, all the way down.

"It's not a locomotive today, is it?"

He is learning to joke.

Qi Yan smiled lightly: "If you want to sit, wait until next time."

He pushed Duan Shu to the car door, and extended his hand in a gentlemanly gesture. Duan Shu leaned forward slightly, waiting for his assistance.

Qi Yan wrapped his strong arms around his back, and helped him into the car with half support and half hug.

At the moment when the body was close, Duan Shu suddenly asked him: "This time, will you still be an inconspicuous little character?"

Then he heard a voice close at hand, warm breath swaying on his neck.

"No, I'm being fair."

Duan Shu was sitting on the back seat, staring at Qi Yan's concentrated driving figure reflected in the rearview mirror for a long time, elegant and stable, but he still couldn't imagine him driving the car to deliver desserts to himself.

The mottled tree shadows are like a film being projected, flowing one by one, superimposed on the quiet driver and passengers in the car.

Duan Shu didn't understand the meaning behind the word "fairness" until he returned to the laboratory and listened to the reminders from the increasingly familiar researchers.

Since his last experience was very smooth, Qi Yan will no longer enter the virtual world constructed by the Zeus system with him, and Duan Shu has to face the unknown plot alone.

But apart from the research and experiments that sound cold and alienated, Qi Yan has pre-written a character based on himself in that world.

"You can discover the secrets from that character." Qi Yan told him, "It's unfair that only you are explored, so I also open myself."

"So, did you help me choose my next story?"

Duan Shu already understood that starting from the relationship between double compensation and substitutes, these stories were naturally numbered.

"You can also refuse."

On the glass tea table, a box with "Love in the Afternoon" was lying quietly.

Of course he didn't refuse, this is a series of heart-wrenching secrets.

The process proceeded in an orderly manner.

"This time I will try a new access situation. You need to be as focused as possible. You have to be mentally prepared in advance."

"Heart rate is stable, ready to start the countdown..."

The voices around me suddenly faded away.

He sank into that dreamy and mysterious world again.

After a short period of darkness and trance, Duan Shu felt a surging heat wave rushing straight to his cheeks.

He opened his eyes, and the loud sound of the motor came into his ears through the helmet. His hands were gripping the steering wheel tightly, and the palms wrapped in gloves were soaked with sweat. The road ahead was curved, and the direction was blocked by tall trees. The car raced fast all the way, and the scenery on both sides quickly swept back.

"The fourth from the left is 100 meters away from the second from the right."

A familiar voice sounded beside him.

Before Duan Shu's brain reacted to this series of unfamiliar instructions, his body had already reacted smoothly, accurately controlling the car to drift through the corners.

The slightly vacated racing car splashed countless dust when it landed, and then continued to gallop forward without stopping. There were enthusiastic shouts from the audience along the road.

"Don't be distracted."

There was a lot of dust and smoke outside the car window, and the man beside him who was also wearing a helmet was holding the road book tightly in his hand, and was leading the way for him, with a calm and calm tone.
