Chapter 2020: Light up the strange dreams in your heart (15)
As soon as they entered Main Street, U.S.A., a fantasy scene appeared in front of them. The streets were full of classic Disney characters shopping.
The characters on the float parade can clearly see the traces of puppet costumes, but the characters walking on the streets now not only have completely real hair textures, but also have smart expressions, flexible facial features, and the sounds they make are exactly the same as those in the cartoons.
Although Disney's cast and crew are relatively dedicated, most of the characters do not speak, because their voices are quite different from the characters in the cartoons, and there is no way to arrange a dedicated voice actor to dub them.
However, some of the more powerful actors and actresses can speak, such as Mickey and Minnie, whom Schiller met during the day. Their voices are very similar to those in cartoons, and their intonations are similar. They should have undergone extremely professional dubbing.
training.
But even so, their voices are still different from the classic Mickey Mouse voices. Even Donald Duck's voice, which is more easy to learn with a pinched throat, is still different from the original one.
But now the classic characters are either hawking or buying, some are walking, and some are standing there talking. Both their voices and movements are exactly the same as in the original work, without any difference.
This scene doesn't actually look scary, because after all, Disney's characters are designed to cater to all ages, and some characters are still lovable even if their images are exaggerated.
Let's put it this way, if a seven or eight-year-old child accidentally enters here now, he will definitely feel that he has arrived in heaven, because children have simple minds and think that they can see these classic characters in cartoons with their own eyes.
That's great.
But adults have to think about the meaning behind this, and this seemingly warm scene can be called extremely scary. Where did so many real animated characters come from, and what are they doing gathering here?
As the saying goes, "When humans think, God laughs." Humans always like to worry about inappropriate things, which completely destroys the role of family fun. The warm atmosphere of gathering together makes the whole thing start to develop in a weird direction.
Since most of the characters are gathered on Main Street U.S.A., the route to various areas through Main Street U.S.A. as during the day is definitely not possible. Even though there is a prosperous amusement scene on the street, Stark still feels that he and Schiller are two real people.
There will definitely not be any good consequences if you sneak in. Even getting beaten up is considered a light thing.
Fortunately, there is a small path at the entrance of Main Street USA that leads directly to Islands of Adventure. There are no cartoon characters gathering there yet. They found a time when all the characters were not looking here, and the two of them ran in quickly.
During the day, the dense trees at Adventure Island provide temporary shade for tourists, liberating them from the heat. But at night, these trees inevitably look gloomy. The Robinson Tree House looks a bit like the place where the evil witch lives in fairy tales.
The horror house.
"I never thought Disneyland would be so scary." Stark said while looking at the surrounding scenery: "It's completely different from the daytime."
Schiller also looked at the surrounding scenery. He found that the exaggerated and cute signs and sculptures during the day, but at night, the overly undulating features looked a bit scary under the dim light.
Schiller wasn't so afraid of this, but Stark was always startled. Before the two of them left MapleStory, Stark was so frightened that he had a nervous breakdown.
Schiller felt a little confused. Although Stark could not be called very brave, he could become a superhero and not be a coward. Why did he seem a little timid at this time?
"I don't know." Stark said nervously: "I don't know why, I always feel fuzzy in my heart, as if I was affected by something."
Schiller suddenly had an idea and asked, "Are you affected? By what?"
He didn't seem to be asking Stark, but more like he was asking himself. Ever since the day, he had felt something was wrong. This feeling followed him like a shadow, but it was not very obvious, and it was difficult to tell what was wrong.
Schiller carefully reviewed what he saw and heard in the paradise that day in his mind. Suddenly he was stunned for a moment and uttered a word: "...atmosphere."
"What?" Stark asked him.
"This park enhances the atmosphere." Schiller looked around and said: "Visitors in the park are very happy, but this is not entirely because the rides are fun or the food is delicious."
"Think about it carefully, it was hot and sunny during the day, you only ate a little at noon, and then you stuffed your stomach with ice cream and steak, and you were shaking wildly on the track car and racing car, your stomach must have been uncomfortable for a long time
, but you didn’t complain at all.”
"Don't tell me that I'm like a fragile child." Stark said with some dissatisfaction. Then he thought about it carefully and said, "Actually, my stomach has been a little queasy since the meal, but we still
I’ve played the spinning Buzz Lightyear project several times, and normally I would have vomited it out.”
"But I didn't feel uncomfortable. I just felt very excited. I even played a few laps of racing without feeling tired. It was indeed a bit abnormal."
Schiller glanced at Stark. In order to protect his self-esteem, Schiller still did not say anything. In fact, even after the incident in Afghanistan, Stark still did not completely get rid of some spoiled problems.
For example, you can always see Stark wearing sunglasses. This is actually not for decoration. He really hates being exposed to the sun and doesn't like to sweat.
Stark is very picky about food. Under normal circumstances, if a food is not to his taste, he will not take another bite even if he is beaten to death. Even when he is very hungry, he can be hypocritical to death.
But today, Stark was a little too tolerant. After eating the salty and greasy fast food, he didn't go to the trouble of finding the chef, didn't criticize him and turned away after half an hour, and even tried to find the unpalatable food.
Some shining points.
And the overly sweet ice cream and the average steak actually allowed him to wolf down it on the pretext of replenishing body heat. If only he had been so tolerant today, Venom would not have been tortured like that in the first place.
"Atmosphere is a very mysterious thing." Schiller explained: "It is everywhere, follows you like a shadow, and can affect a person's psychological state from all aspects."
"For example, if a person has been in a depressing, dark and uncomfortable atmosphere for a long time, he will have obvious anxiety and depression tendencies, and we often recommend patients with anxiety and depression to change their environment. To put it simply, this is
Let them change to a more comfortable and cheerful atmosphere, which is a better treatment than any medicine."
"From the moment we entered the park, everyone we saw had a smile on their face. We didn't hear anyone complain that the products were too expensive or not worth it. From a sociological perspective, this is impossible."
Schiller stretched out a finger and said: "No matter how cheap and value-for-money a product is, it is only for a certain consumer class. It is impossible for one product to meet the needs of all consumers."
"But in this paradise, people almost never consider the cost-effectiveness of the goods, or whether they can afford such consumption. This is obviously very unscientific."
"The only answer is that the atmosphere here affects all visitors." Schiller said thoughtfully: "But it is not yet certain whether they do this through scientific or magical means."
"So what do we do next?"
"According to the original plan, we will go to the Ghost Mansion first."
The Ghost Mansion is not far from the Island of Adventure. There are almost no cartoon characters here. They arrived in front of the huge manor smoothly, but a black shadow flashed in front of them startled Stark again.
Now Stark could see clearly that it was not a cartoon character with strange body proportions, but a person. By this time, Schiller had already seen the other person's face clearly. He lowered his voice and shouted: "Stephen! Stephen!"
Strange turned around suddenly and saw Stark and Schiller hiding outside the pillars of the gate. His eyes widened in surprise. Schiller hurriedly walked over and said, "Why are you here?!"
"I wanted to come over and investigate."
"Did you also notice something was wrong?"
Strange didn't waste any words, but immediately said: "You still remember the ghost wave theory you proposed, right? Or at least you have some understanding of brain waves."
"Kama Taj's research institute previously conducted an experiment to investigate the impact of abnormal energy on human brain waves. The so-called abnormal energy includes magical energy and the earth's magnetic field."
"The results are obvious. No matter what kind of energy it is, it has a certain probability of interfering with people's brain waves. It can make people sleepy or distracted, or it can cause hallucinations."
"Then we discovered that some long-established illusions seemed to make use of this principle. They adjusted the magic energy field to a certain frequency to affect the brain waves of intelligent creatures, making them think that the hallucinations they saw were real.
In order to achieve the purpose of confusing the other party."
Having said this, Schiller immediately spoke about his previous inferences about the atmosphere. Strange snapped his fingers and said, "That's it, it seems. The principle of this circle is to generate some abnormal energy and interfere with the brain waves of tourists.
Strengthen their ability to feel the atmosphere.”
"Coupled with some psychological means to enhance the atmosphere, such as music, lighting and certain explanation techniques, people can easily become happy and temporarily forget those troublesome things."
"So this is beneficial?" Stark asked.
"It can only be said to be a win-win situation." Schiller looked at Stark and said, "Just like you pay me to hypnotize you, you can think of this as a large group hypnosis room."
"Hypnosis does help people release stress, but it is not free. In addition to the tickets to the park, under such circumstances, people can easily increase their consumption."
Schiller's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said with some fascination: "It seems that Walt Disney also has a lot of research on psychology. Combining magic and psychology is a genius idea. Why didn't I
What do you think?"
"Don't think about it!" Stark interrupted him.
"As a psychological magician, Walt Disney used the entire Disneyland to show us his superb revenue-generating skills." Schiller continued: "I think this aspect is very worthy of my study..."
"Stop studying!" Strange also interrupted him.
But the attitudes of the two men obviously could not change Schiller's yearning, which could be called fanatical.
Strange and Stark looked at each other and realized a question at the same time. If this paradise can strengthen the atmosphere, will Schiller's greed also be strengthened?
Then they thought with some disbelief that Schiller's greed could still be strengthened?
