A shout came gradually closer and further away from my ears. The sound was erratic, but clear and moving, like the sound of a wind chime.
Who is it?
The confused consciousness seemed to become clearer with this cry.
Liao Yuan wanted to react, but found that his body seemed to be filled with lead and stone, so heavy that he could not extricate himself.
"Brother, wake up!"
Who is it?
It was as if spring thunder exploded, igniting the throbbing in my heart, and my ears rang with the sound of my heart beating like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning.
I'm not dead?
Liao Yuan struggled, trying to take a deep breath...
The next moment, his cold hands and feet gradually began to feel, and the blood in his body began to boil. However, his chest seemed to be filled with a raging mudslide, making Liao Yuan feel as uncomfortable as drowning.
"Ignore you, I'm going to be late soon, I'll talk about it when I get back."
The wind chimes rang again.
In the darkness, there are bright spots rising and falling.
Gradually, the bright spot was like a blazing sun, emitting a dazzling light.
Liao Yuan felt his eyes itching, and tears burst out unexpectedly. Then, his body gradually regained consciousness.
He was finally able to open his eyes and found that he was lying sideways on the bed, the pillow wet with tears from the corners of his eyes.
In the blurred vision, a girl with waist-length black hair and a pink and white striped skirt was hurriedly carrying her schoolbag and pushing the door to leave. Her slender white legs became more and more prominent as the skirt flew up.
Pure and touching...
Wait a moment!
Liao Yuan realized something, he suddenly opened the sheets on his body and sat up.
But the next moment, he only felt pain in his brain, and something seemed to be hitting hard in his temple, trying to break through the surface.
He couldn't help but slap his head, as a buzzing sound sounded, as if countless 0s and 1s were passing by.
It took more than ten minutes for Liao Yuan to regain his composure.
Are you alive again?
Liao Yuan looked at his hands in confusion.
Her fair and slender fingers have clear joints and her nails are neatly trimmed.
With a little movement, the dexterous hands are like spring swallows flying in the air, walking in the air...
"These hands..."
He just stared at these beautiful hands and said, "It would be a pity not to play the piano..."
A moment later, Liao Yuan stood on the floor with his bare feet, facing the dressing mirror, looking at himself in the mirror.
Sword eyebrows, starry eyes, and facial features are quite three-dimensional.
An extremely handsome face with sharp edges and corners.
Compared with the appearance of the previous two lives, it is no less generous, and even... a bit worse.
"It seems...a new world again?"
Liao Yuan frowned, but then smiled.
Although I don’t know who is controlling everything...
But, now that he is here, he will naturally not give up every opportunity to live.
Liao Yuan closed his eyes and recalled the period before his death.
Regardless of day or night, there is a dark world around you, a room as silent as a deep valley, rats squeaking by, and smelly garbage piles...
The terror of dying...
Everything is extremely real.
He shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to forget all about the nightmare-like scene.
Yesterday's events are as clear as water.
And now.
Life starts over again...
Liao Yuan opened his eyes and shifted his gaze, taking in everything in the room.
The wardrobe is naturally open. Looking around, there are only two sets of clothes for you to wear in the huge wardrobe, and they are both black suits of the same style...
Liao Yuan looked at the desk.
On the desk, in addition to neatly arranged documents and a laptop, there is also a photo decorated with a glass frame.
In the photo, there is a young man and woman, one of whom is himself, smiling extremely brightly.
The other one is a girl with long black hair that reaches her waist.
If you look carefully, you can see that under her long and thick eyelashes, a pair of watery eyes are showing a proud look.
The thin and moist lips were slightly open, and the white teeth were slightly exposed. One hand was like a scissor, and the other was hugging his neck, as if to say: "I am the eldest brother."
"Brother Shanzhi?"
Liao Yuan's heart was touched, and the information in his mind swept through him again, making him smile involuntarily.
Then, he hesitated a little, then sat down at his desk, opened his laptop, and used a search engine to search for general information about the world.
China...
2021…
Liao Yuan became more frightened the more he checked.
Everything...has changed?
Not just the timeline, but all major events in modern history, including the development process of the times...
Everything has changed.
Liao Yuan became more and more silent as he watched.
The once familiar entertainment industry has once again become extremely unfamiliar.
In an era when talents emerge in large numbers, all walks of life are carefully documented, and China has become a developed country?
Including but not limited to winning the lottery, all opportunities to get rich overnight have almost become synonymous with delusion.
Social class has been solidified, and it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.
In the entertainment industry, stars' labor fees, salaries, etc. are also strictly managed by relevant departments.
It seems that all the opportunities that should arise in developing countries to achieve success in one step will no longer appear easily.
The sky-high appearance fees and endorsement fees have almost disappeared in the country.
Apart from making money with rich knowledge and outstanding skills, there seems to be no possibility of upward advancement.
With constant page searches, the information stored in Liao Yuan's mind was completely activated.
All the memories of this time and space were restored in an instant.
All the images fill my mind.
Every scene is as real as if it were experienced personally, giving Liao Yuan the illusion of time and space travel.
"Three days, there are still three days left!"
Liao Yuan stared at the blank document that had been open for who knows how long on the screen, and murmured: "So, this is the purpose of you summoning me..."
…
Liao Yuan's predecessor was a midnight radio anchor. Due to the nature of his work, his predecessor lived a life of day and night reversed every day.
The program he broadcast on the radio was called "The Strange Things in the World".
The broadcast time is from midnight to two o'clock. It is said that it was once a popular midnight program and has been broadcast for eight years.
During its glory days, the listening rate of this program channel reached the first place in its time period.
But as the years passed, and with the constant replacement of old anchors and new anchors, by Liao Yuan's time, among all the programs in the same period, the listening rate of "The Curious Things in the World" can be said to be at the bottom of the list.
Every time the station's program ratings are evaluated, it ranks last.
This directly resulted in Liao Yuan's predecessor basically being unable to raise his head when walking around the stage.
Therefore, in addition to going to and from work mechanically every day and collecting free manuscripts with public copyright, Liao Yuan's life is all about broadcasting for two hours after midnight every day.
Such a life is pale and feeble, with almost no future in sight.
Due to various factors, Liao Yuan became increasingly silent and even began to become depressed. He had to take sleeping pills every day to fall asleep.
What's even more frightening is that not long ago, the director of the station issued a death order - "The Strange Things in the World" will be banned in the near future.
With the banning of "The Strange World", program anchor Liao Yuan seems to be on the verge of being fired from the station.
In this world, employees who are publicly dismissed have a very terrible fate in their subsequent job search.
Because there are perfect laws and a huge social Internet as the foundation, when an employee is fired by a company, it means that the stain of being fired will appear on the employee's resume for the first time——
This will cause the employee to encounter extremely severe challenges in his subsequent job search career.
This is not the result that Liao Yuan wants to see at this moment.
In his previous life, he was arrogant and unscrupulous in squandering the knowledge and abilities he acquired in his first life, and he flourished in his second life.
Although he became a super A-list star that attracted much attention, in the end, he was kidnapped and killed by his childhood friend.
And the reason for the kidnapping made him feel extremely ridiculous...
But, is it really ridiculous?
Liao Yuan fell silent.
If it weren't for the fact that his performance after time traveling was so unusual and so coveted, Liao Yuan's final achievements in his previous life would have definitely been more than just standing at the top of the domestic entertainment industry.
But when life started over again, facing a completely different world, Liao Yuan had vague thoughts about Tao Guang.
Want a different life?
The idea is good, but before that, he must ensure that he can live a comfortable life...
In particular, there is a younger sister who lives in her own home and dreams of becoming a star all day long...
The pressure to survive is simply huge!
As soon as he thought about this, he immediately sat down at his desk, opened his laptop, and began to recall some classic horror stories from his past life.
But unfortunately, he doesn't have many opportunities to be exposed to horror stories.
Due to the general environment in his previous life, most of the scripts given to him by the producers were workplace dramas, costume dramas and other popular genres.
But there are always traces to follow.
Liao Yuan looked at the blank text, gently closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
This is a habit left over from the past life.
Whenever he thinks deeply about it, he will fall into a mysterious and mysterious state, like an old monk who has fallen into concentration and his mind is still for a moment.
But meditation is not always successful, and occasionally the mind becomes empty.
But if it works...
At this moment, the wisps of thoughts in my mind were like my soul leaving the body, quickly passing through layers of obstacles in a short period of time, and arriving at another time and space...
"Mr. Liao, who do you want to thank the most for winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor this time?"
"Ayuan! It's successful! You're successful! The sales of your new album exceeded one million in a single month, and it's platinum! You've achieved platinum status!"
"Liao Yuan, I'm warning you for the last time. If you sign this contract, we will still be friends. You and I will make a lot of money. If you don't sign it, there will be no place for you in the entire entertainment industry in the future!"
"The college entrance examination score is 718! I'll give it a try, son, you are really good! Dad is proud of you!"
"Winning the 31st Most Popular Artist in the Asian Entertainment Circle: Liao Yuan! Congratulations to Liao Yuan!"
"God of songs! God of songs!"
The cell division rate of the brain is accelerating, and the wheel of memories begins to quickly crush the fragmented time.
After only a minute, Liao Yuan felt that his breathing was a little cloudy.
He began to have difficulty breathing.
After another minute, his throat made a gurgling sound.
The high-intensity operation of his brain made him feel nauseous, like riding a roller coaster and making him want to vomit.
But……
Not found, not found!
Still not found!
I searched through all the time tracks and couldn’t find a single ghost story!
Liao Yuan felt a little anxious inside. At the same time, he felt salty in his nose, and then it was more like getting into the cold wind, which made the entire nasal cavity feel burning and painful.
Looking through history, countless images flash through my mind.
At the last moment, the picture he wanted finally appeared in Liao Yuan's mind.
"Ayuan, there is a video website that wants to film a movie with you. I have read the script and it is quite good. It is called "Soul Ferry". Are you interested in reading it?"
"By the way, I almost forgot something. Hey, do you know about "White Nights"? I heard that the script alone took three years to prepare. The producer named you to play the male lead, and it's a one-man show.
He plays two roles. I have a general understanding of the plot. It is a suspense reasoning type. This type is very popular in the market."
"Ayuan, good news, don't you like to watch "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" during this period? Its movie version has been acquired by the company and is about to start filming. This is a super IP with a fan base all over the country. Let's work on it and try to get it.
The next male number one..."
"Yes, it's "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp"! As mentioned above, we won't favor anyone this time. The male lead wants you to compete fairly with A Kun and the others."
Ghost blowing out the lamp?
The ghost blows out the lamp!
Liao Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, but his eyes went dark, and he almost threw his head back and fell down.
Feeling dizzy, he quickly bent over to find the trash can and "vomited", stomach acid, intestinal juice, and bile poured out.
But he couldn't care less about this, as the clear picture in his mind was gradually fading away.
He took out a tissue and wiped his mouth casually, then returned to the computer, opened the document, and in his real memories, began to quickly type on the keyboard the words in his mind about "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp".
