Disaster Artist

Chapter 1 Dream Shadow
Bai Zhe woke up and sat bent over the bed.

He reached out and touched the back of his neck. The skin around the joint was a little red and swollen.

He was in a daze for a while, or it might have been a long time before his consciousness broke free from the aftermath of yesterday and the dream.

Turn over and get out of bed on the ladder.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made him cling to the handrail, and his feet contacted the ground with a bang, causing a burst of pain.I accidentally missed the step, but luckily I didn't sprain my ankle.

He shook his arm. It wasn't strained, so he was lucky.So while moving my cervical spine, I walked towards the washbasin.

Pour strong mouthwash into your mouth and hold it for 15 seconds.Spit out the frothy light green liquid and take two deep sips.

Take a cleansing wipe and wipe your face carefully.

Saving water resources is the responsibility of everyone in Nova.

Open the refrigerator and randomly select a 2% off promotion nutritional paste, cheese cream smelly mandarin fish flavor.This is the end of a great day.

It tastes pretty good, but has a bit of a smell.Bai Zhe swallowed two-thirds of a tube of nutritional ointment, stuffed two supplement pills in and pressed them, but nothing came out.

After doing all this, he sat down at the table and continued to be in a daze.

He lost his job, just two days ago, maybe three days ago.

Bai Zhe's job is to write the script for Mengying, and to separate and modify the original materials for making Mengying.

Dream shadows are immersive multi-sensory images based on real memories and experiences that have been modified, supplemented and edited, usually from a first-person perspective.

Dream Shadow not only allows people to experience other people's memories, but also creates various surreal experiences based on real memories.

After Bai Zhe's Deep Fantasy Studio shifted to producing Dream Shadow without a plot, he was naturally laid off without severance pay.

Although Shenhuan is just a low-end studio, this job at least allows him to save a few hundred credits every month while being frugal.

He spent most of his savings to buy an old-model dream image material extraction device, activated a series of software functions, and learned to create short-duration, low-fidelity dream images.

Sudden layoffs destroyed Bai Zhe's plans.He lost his only source of income, and Mengying, which he made by himself, was not yet profitable.

There are only 21 days left before the next rent payment, and he can't even afford one month's rent.

Yesterday, Bai Zhe planned to apply for other small studios, but he has yet to take action.Starting from scratch, maybe today will happen again in the future.

Are you leaving the dream film industry completely?

This fourth-generation Mengying is not easy to sell, and the software functions that have been activated cannot be resold. Besides, what can he do after giving up Mengying.

He is a NEIR patient, which means he has Neuropathic electronic implants rejection.

Cyber ​​prosthetics, nerve connection exoskeletons, and even the most basic electronic skin and neural interfaces may cause him to suffer a sudden shock.

All conventional models of electronic implants Bage cannot be used.The interface on the back of his head is the only implant in his body. It is a special model developed for NEIR patients and sells for 11 times the price of the standard version.

Without this interface implanted, he wouldn't even be able to use the Dream Camera.

No factory will recruit NEIR patients, not even the lowest level of repetitive labor positions.

An ordinary worker loading a D-type hand assistive prosthesis can drive screws at more than three times his speed, and he cannot keep up with the production line speed.

As for the Colosseum, Bai Zhe will never go back, even if people like him are very welcome there.

He wants to continue making Dream Shadows.This thought echoed in Bai Zhe's mind, becoming more and more intense.He must continue to make Dream Shadows.

In the short term, his equipment and technology will not improve significantly.He needs inspiration, unique inspiration, to add to the dream shadow an experience that no one else has seen before.

Killing and grass were the most popular themes ten years ago. These two major themes have now reached their extremes. Bai Zhe has no way to obtain high-quality materials of this type.

My life in recent years has been really lackluster.As for the experience at the Colosseum, firstly, it was a long time ago, and secondly, he was very resistant to extracting that memory for others to watch.

He had no reliable channel to collect materials from other people.

Try dream capture?Bai Zhe recalled last night's dream, but what remained were only indescribable dark impressions and blurred visual fragments.

Only a handful of people can capture clear and stable dreams, and they are the ones favored by dream photographers.

Many people feel that their dreams are very real when they dream.But in fact, if the material extraction device is connected to the whole process during dreaming, 99.99% of people will extract distorted fragments, which are worthless.

He opened the mobile phone personal terminal, projected the screen onto the silver metal wall in front of the desk, projected the keyboard onto the desktop, entered the power-on password, and verified his fingerprints.daze.

Turn on the dream camera, pick up the access port, put it down, and turn it off.daze.

Bai Zhe pulled his hair, ferocious images flashing in his mind from time to time.The electric saw cut into the black and red bone angles, the corrosive liquid spattered on the skin and emitted white smoke, and a column of blood spurted out from the torn blood vessels.

He subconsciously covered the huge scar on his left neck and took a deep breath to drive those images out of his mind.

inspiration.He needs real inspiration.

Browse the news, maybe you can find some ideas.

Just as he was about to open the Star City News Express, Bai Zhe noticed an unseen application icon on his desktop. There was no such thing last night.

Damn bundled installation of junk software, uninstall it!

There is no uninstall option and cannot be uninstalled.

"Creative Assistant", the icon is a scarlet quill.Bai Zhe stared at the dynamic red feather and felt something bad in his heart.

He had never installed any special software on this terminal, so why was it suddenly poisoned?It's unlikely to be a targeted hack, and there's no valuable information on it.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhe immediately opened the Mengying material library.Everything is intact and the account is running normally.

strangeness.

He tinkered with the terminal for more than ten minutes, restarting it repeatedly, scanning for abnormalities, and making no progress.

What the hell.He is already in such a miserable state, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Bai Zhe clicked on the quietly fluttering red feather, and the new interface that opened was very empty, with only a small icon in the upper left corner.

It was a weird eye. The area where the white of the eye should be was charcoal black, but the pupil was pure white.

The person who designed this logo is amazing.The eyes look very three-dimensional, with both a biological feel and the luster of gemstones.

The shape is not human eye, cat eye, or snake eye type.He couldn't identify the prototype of this eye, but he only found it strange and aesthetically pleasing.

It suddenly blinked.Bai Zhe's heart clenched, and all the hairs on his arms stood up.

A thick black liquid seeped out from the edge of the eye socket and flowed down the screen.

Damn it, why would designers use creativity in such a place?

He was so frightened that he became very alert. His thoughts were surging in his mind, and some pictures flashed unconsciously.

Bai Zhe opened the eye without much hesitation.

A large number of graffiti and garbled character patterns were displayed on the screen, interlaced horizontally and vertically, and overlapping.

Those messy strokes, letters, symbols, and patterns seemed to be squirming, impacting Bai Zhe's optic nerve.

"what--"

He rubbed his eyes, his violently stimulated lacrimal glands secreting tears.

He stood up and walked away from the screen. When he opened his eyes again, the characters on the screen became orderly.
