While a large number of people on the streets of Spread City are enthusiastic about the good actors, the name "good actors" has quietly disappeared from a large number of media.
Whether it’s TV, mobile phones, social networking sites…
It seems that there is no such person, no such thing, no trace.
"Guys, the showman is downgraded!"
"Have those big bastard companies taken action?"
Spread City is a unit in an old apartment building adjacent to "Bramble Street" in Dongzhou District.
This place is like an abandoned game arcade, with messy wires all over the floor, connected to all kinds of old equipment that look like electronic waste:
At this time, a group of four young people were sitting in front of different computers, busy with something.
"Thorn Street" has a rebellious and independent culture because it gathers a large number of residents from low backgrounds, as well as protesters who are contrary to the committee and large corporate system.
The most popular heroes here are people like "Momo Challenge" and "Night Mist Girl".
In this room, Matthew, Yi Ya, Jiang Haoming, and Bei Dao Liyi are all students of Thorns High School and are enjoying their summer vacation.
From the moment "The Showman" appeared on the scene, even though he was a newcomer to Dongzhou District, Thorny Street also had a new hero.
And they have a new object of worship.
With the continuous performances of the good actors, they were excited and posted a lot of buzz on the Internet to drive the popularity.
But now, the situation has suddenly changed, and even a blind person can see what is going on.
"Attention, there are a lot of corporate trolls on Buzz!"
Iya called to her friends. She had been staring at Humong, "They are all scolding the good actors in a rhythm, and some are trying to gain popularity."
Because Humong is not controlled by the alliance of large companies, "Good Showman" is still on the hot search list, accounting for five of the top ten.
Precisely because of this, buzz is buzz and it has a user base.
However, now, there is a rapid buzz of messages that are obviously from the trolls, and there are thousands of them in an instant:
[Danoe: I look forward to first place more than a good actor.]
[Ace Stranger 007: The good showman is the one who creates problems, and the first one is the one who solves the problems.]
[Murray: Look, the number one is about to appear! 】
These buzzers are trying to bundle the talk about the "showman" and transfer it to the "number one".
But after seeing these news, this group of people couldn't help but start talking:
"Saito is going to hold a new talent conference?"
"That's it, today!"
"Not only Saito, but also Yutani, Miguang, and Gein Heavy Industries. These four companies will have press conferences!"
The publicity departments of these giant corporations are no joke.
They can already see overwhelming news, mysterious card silhouettes, exquisite videos, and powerful slogans from the Internet...
【First place】
【Number One】
[Age: 18 years old]
[Ace, Champion Series]
【"I am the number one in Dongzhou!"】
Looking at these preview materials, even they felt a little curious.
Is this "number one" really so powerful that he dares to touch a good actor?
Matthew took the TV remote control and pressed it. He saw that the channels owned by giant companies were all building momentum for the newcomers' press conference.
Even relatively independent channels such as "Spread First Entertainment" and "Hero Entertainment Express" are paying attention to these new developments.
In different studios, the hosts said eagerly:
"Saito's newbie conference will start in half an hour, it's really going to be held quickly!"
"The news we got is that Saito will launch three new heroes in one go: the first one, the senior, and the competent big sister."
"Let's cut to the scene and see the latest situation!"
…
Dongzhou, Saito Entertainment Building.
The spacious and atmospheric press conference hall is brightly lit and surrounded by flowers.
The rows of media chairs below the news desk were already filled with reporters wearing different clothes.
The back was crowded with photographers, holding cameras and cameras, and the sound of clicking pictures kept ringing.
Saito staff were also busy making sure to greet these reporter friends and not make any mistakes during the live broadcast.
Now their Dongzhou team can no longer afford to make any more mistakes.
Right now, this newcomer conference is facing hundreds of millions of viewers in the main realm, and it is also a focus of attention for people who can receive the signal in the Dongzhou world.
At this time, the male host came out, along with general manager Mike and general publicist Debbie.
Originally, the news that reporters got was that the juggling professor was the host, but now, the juggling professor is lying in the hospital recovering from his injuries.
“Welcome everyone to our press conference!”
Mike, Debbie and the male host all smiled and greeted the reporters.
They seemed not to be affected at all by the previous incident at the "Truth Daily" studio, and they seemed to have left the showman behind.
Not long after, under the attention of reporters and thousands of viewers, the male host shouted passionately:
"We invite our first hero to appear today: Senior!"
As the gentle exclusive BGM sounded, a young man who looked like a college student walked out of the passage on one side of the press hall. He smiled and waved to everyone.
The senior's relevant information suddenly appeared on the big screen behind the news station:
【Senior】
【Senior】
[Draw, Phenomenon System]
[Alien level: G level]
[Urban Legend: Senior Effect]
Ms. Debbie introduced it to everyone immediately.
In order to avoid the local Dongzhou audience not understanding, she briefly explained the "Phenomenon", one of the twenty-six categories.
This category includes various states, effects, phenomena, etc. that cannot be perfectly explained by current science. The "Mandela Effect" is one of the most famous phenomena in recent years.
Phenomenal aliens are like mages in the game.
They can bring all kinds of miraculous effects and are indispensable assistants in a large team. Whether it is combat or exploration, they can sometimes turn the entire situation around.
The so-called "senior effect" refers to a saying on campus: as long as you are a "senior", "senior" or "senior brother", even if you are obviously ugly, you will be much more handsome in the eyes of women.
"If you are a senior, you are a special person." Ms. Debbie said.
The reporters laughed lightly. They had heard of such a thing, but they did not expect that "Dongzhou Night" would encounter such a person.
However, this senior is indeed quite pleasing to the eye, both in appearance and in conversation.
The senior obviously takes the position of being gentle, friendly to the people, and knows how to take care of others. He is Saito's "big brother" to the newcomers this time, not in terms of strength, but in terms of age and seniority.
"I will keep an eye on everyone." The senior smiled and said to the camera, showing two rows of white teeth.
Then, the "competent big sister" also appeared.
The audience expected to see a mature urban beauty and wondered why the senior would be the eldest brother, but unexpectedly they saw a high school girl.
The exclusive BGM is electronic music in the style of John Carpenter's thrillers in the 1980s, which is anxious and weird.
The girl is tall, has a beautiful face, has long hair shawl, wears a light blue shirt and black jeans, and looks very heroic and tough.
This appearance also draws inspiration from the appearance of the heroine in John Carpenter's masterpiece "Moonlight".
[Competent big sister]
【Big Sister】
[Ace, professional system]
[Alien level: E level]
[Urban legend: Competent babysitter]
Ms. Debbie also introduced that "big sister" is actually for children.
Workers is a large category, and there are urban legends about all professions. "Wang Guiping" reflects the level and work results of these workers.
"Babysitter" is a craftsman. This is an urban legend motif that refers to girls who take care of neighborhood children and babies.
In some legends, girls will be murdered by mysterious killers such as "the man upstairs", or they will mess up their work for various reasons, and their babies will even die. Ghost cards.
But the "competent nanny" not only survived the attack by the mysterious killer, but also protected the baby, and even killed the killer. Ace.
The combination of the two urban legends "The Babysitter" and "The Man Upstairs" was created by John Carpenter into "Moonlight".
This classic CULT film series has been enduring for decades, constantly expanding the reputation of the two, giving them great potential for heterogeneous communication.
A craftsman is an ace, and a killer is a ghost.
The resonant birth of these two alien beings is foreseeable.
And now, the "competent big sister" who is the ace of the craftsman system is in this press conference room.
"Wow!"
"Hello, big sister!"
The reporters exclaimed and laughed. They were excited for the first time since the press conference began. After all, Saito is Saito!
The "senpai" is just a popular figure, but the "big sister" really has the potential to become a star and a superstar, and she is the type who is good at fighting wits and courage.
General Manager Mike's previous comment of "super girl" was not bragging.
This is a girl that people have been waiting for for many years to appear!
Click click click, photographers took pictures of the ace girl, and reporters rushed to ask questions:
"Sister, what is your alien ability?"
"Is your look from "Moonlight"?"
“Are you afraid that the killer ‘Mike Myers’ in the film suddenly had resonance one day?”
"If Mike didn't succeed in the movie, the world would be like that too." The long-haired girl answered with a smile.
At Ms. Debbie's signal, she didn't say much for the time being.
Everyone knows that the big sister with such a powerful background is not the protagonist of this press conference.
"Dongzhou Night" is really amazing...
Saito's publicity strategy has undoubtedly worked, and reporters are looking forward to "number one" even more.
"Next, let's take a look at the information of the first place!" the male host shouted in an elongated voice.
The big screen behind the news station immediately displayed [First Place], the champion ace, 18 years old, alien level and urban legend are still being discussed.
What immediately caught everyone's attention was that the first place was also a recent high school graduate, and the college entrance examination score was...
Ranked first in Dongzhou, he was admitted to Dongzhou University as the top pick!
"Dongzhou champion!"
"It's really number one."
The reporters' exclamations and admirations rang out in the press room, which made people even more excited.
Moreover, the first place is in sharp contrast to the good actors. One is the top pick and the other is the loser.
"What is the first urban legend that resonates?" a male reporter from "Spread Daily" asked.
"It's 'number one'."
General manager Mike smiled grandly and briefly introduced how Saito discovered this newcomer.
In fact, it's simple. As soon as they came to Dongzhou, they looked for the top talents, such as the top scorers in the college entrance examination, and they found them.
But the first-place allogeneic resonance result still surprised them all.
"We did not find this legend in the "Encyclopedia of Urban Legends" and other books."
Mike continued, “We believe that this is a new transformation that combines legends such as ‘other people’s children’ and ‘campus god’.
"A champion urban legend with more transcendence and potential!"
"Well, thank you, general manager, okay." The host took the words and shouted loudly towards the door of the passage on one side:
"Now I invite you, first place!!!"
The majestic exclusive BGM sounded in the press room, immediately evoking the kind of upright hero the audience is familiar with.
All reporters, photographers and other staff.
There were also Mike, Debbie, seniors, eldest sister and others, all looking towards the passage door.
