Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 573

"Do you still have to choose? Of course, choose the first one.

"My parents were left there, and this wife and child who have no origin at all should not be taken with me.

"If you can take your parents with you, then the previous world is fake. If you can't take your parents with you, that means the previous world is real.

"There is no need to bring wives and children who do not exist in the real world and are randomly assigned to the sub-world.

"Not to mention, it will cost twenty years of life."

Li Teng looked at Zhang Mengdi and his daughter and thought calmly.

"It really shouldn't be taken away. I am still just a chess piece at the mercy of others in the film and television city. I don't understand what is going on in the film and television city.

"My own power is also very limited. This mother and daughter are probably a trap dug by the film and television city. Even if I have feelings for them, it is not rational to take them away.

"And they are not my real wife and daughter. It can be said that they are unrelated people. They are even just a piece of data in the database of the film and television city."

As a result of rational analysis, Li Teng was strongly inclined not to take them away.

However, it's clear there's a big problem here.

Li Teng had to think about it.

That's... why would the director and screenwriter arrange such a plot? Give him a choice at the end?

Based on the previous plot, Li Teng felt that the screenwriter of this script should be a very emotional person.

Most likely a woman.

Male screenwriters usually work hard to make the logic of the plot self-consistent.

But this plot is full of holes.

Female screenwriters generally don't pay too much attention to logical loopholes, but care more about family and emotional plot design.

In previous plots, the screenwriter has repeatedly shown his concern for good and evil.

If Li Teng has good thoughts in his heart, he will have good results; if Li Teng has evil thoughts in his heart, he will have bad results.

The last plot was probably a trap dug by the screenwriter.

If he chooses to abandon his mother and daughter, what impression will a female screenwriter, who pays special attention to family ties and concepts of good and evil, have on him?

Li Teng already knew when he was a director that a director could reward and punish actors to a certain extent based on his own views on good and evil within the scope allowed by the general rules.

If he chooses to abandon the mother and daughter, he should be able to complete the plot mission, but the screenwriter will have a very bad impression of him and give him the worst mission reward.

If he shows his affection for the mother and daughter and resolutely trades his twenty years of life for taking them away, the female screenwriter may be moved and receive additional rewards.

Take a gamble.

"I choose two. I can't leave them behind. I am willing to trade my twenty years of life to take them away." Li Teng shouted a few words into the air, his expression looking extremely determined.

"Sorry, the calculation was wrong just now. If you want to take them away, fifty years of your lifespan will be deducted. Please choose carefully." Several more lines of prompts appeared in Li Teng's field of vision.

"Fifty years, just fifty years. No matter how high the cost, I will take them away." Li Teng answered a few words in the air without hesitation.

"Okay, minus fifty years of your life, you can take them away."

Another line of prompts appeared in Li Teng's field of vision.

"No way? Are you serious?" Li Teng reached out and touched his face. As expected, his face was already full of wrinkles and he had turned into an old man in his seventies again.

Got screwed.

"The plot is over.

"Transmitting..."

After a while, Li Teng recovered from his trance.

He sat up from the teleportation cabin and let out a long sigh.

By the way, where are the mother and daughter who spent fifty years of life?

Li Teng touched his face again.

Turns out he doesn't age.

The face is still the same as when I was in my twenties.

This director was actually teasing him.

I looked at the points balance in my watch...

It became 434.

The previous balance was 174, the reward for this performance was 160, and the total is 334. The current balance is 434. What's going on with the extra 100 points?

Could it be that he finally chose to waste his lifespan and take away the extra rewards obtained by mother and daughter?

Sure enough, it was a female director, and there was an Easter egg in the end, giving him a hidden reward.

Recalling his experience with Zhang Mengdi and his daughter in the plot, Li Teng was still very emotional.

In the first round, I had not experienced that feeling of struggling to survive for a long time.

Although the whole plot is full of loopholes, the first round of plot still has many shining points for Li Teng.

As far as Li Teng knows, many low-level directors in film and television cities are not equipped with screenwriters, and they work part-time as screenwriters themselves.

The screenwriter or director of this plot should be considered relatively successful.

Just when Li Teng stood up and left the teleportation cabin, his watch received a message.

"I am honored that the script "Time Files" I wrote was randomly selected by you, the great special agent, and successfully passed it. I sincerely invite you to join my crew."

There is also a line of prompts below: whether to accept the invitation.

Li Teng hesitated for a moment, but chose to agree.

He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the director was the female screenwriter he suspected.

If it doesn't suit his taste, just change the group the next time it's refreshed.

It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve been with a group!

It’s been several lifetimes.

…

Three days later.

After being taken to the film and television city by helicopter, Li Teng unexpectedly discovered that the landing place of the helicopter was actually the familiar beach.

That was the beach where he first went to the film and television city.

Is it possible that the new crew chose a coffee shop as a meeting point?

Along the way, Li Teng stopped for a while in restaurants, clothing stores, and wax museums.

Recalling the scene when I first came here, it feels like a lifetime ago.

His biggest feeling at that time was hunger.

Every day I feel like a starving ghost, rushing to grab food whenever I see it, without even caring about the image.

Sure enough, if the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.

When a person does not even have enough to eat, it is impossible to pay attention to other things.

When passing the terminal, Li Teng went up to check it out.

I want to see if there are any tricks... to help newbies.

Unfortunately, no.

Or there are no new actors in the cast.

Or maybe it was taken by another actor.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Teng walked quickly to the cafe.

Seven actors were already sitting at the table in front of the cafe.

The director was also standing at the door of the cafe.

It was indeed a woman.

Wearing a mask that is different from Yao Xue, judging from the figure, it should not be Yao Xue.

Why do some female directors like to wear masks?

Look ugly? Yao Xue is not ugly.

Li Teng quickly walked to the coffee table and sat down.

Although his qualifications are relatively old now, no matter how famous an actor is, he still has to respect the director.

This is the rule of the studio.

Chapter 574

What's more, Li Teng is not yet a big name, and he has not even reached the supporting role level.

So, Li Teng sat at the coffee table honestly, like a pure newcomer.

"Hello everyone, I am the on-site director of the scene clip of "Being Not Convinced". Let me give you a brief introduction to your upcoming performance.

"After this scene begins, the eight of you will move along the street in the direction I specified.

“There’s stuff happening on the streets.

“Your choice will determine the amount of reward points you ultimately receive.

“The drone on site will film the entire process from all angles.

"...

“It is strictly prohibited to attack other actors and NPCs unless required by the plot.

"Anyone who violates these rules during the show will be fined a thousand points."

"You now have ten minutes to discuss the plot,

"In ten minutes, the shooting of this scene will officially begin!"

As usual, female directors explained to everyone the scenes to be shot.

Li Teng couldn't help but think of his first play, "Dead End", which was also a scene.

There isn’t even any specific plot content.

However, these small scene fragments, if designed well, can really test your IQ.

Judging from the previous film "Time Files", the female director still has her own unique way of designing the plot. Today's scene should be a little different, right?

Soon the show started.

The eight actors at the coffee table left the coffee table and, following the director's instructions, started walking on the street in front of the cafe.

Li Teng is very familiar with this street. He has walked it many times.

But the street is a little different today than before.

Because the scene was being shot, a lot of extra staging was done.

There is a flow of people and vehicles.

The actors followed the director's instructions and marched along the street.

At this moment, an old lady who was passing by everyone suddenly fell to the ground and groaned in pain.

All the actors saw this scene.

The director had no new instructions at this time.

Several actors rushed out of the crowd, ran to the old lady, helped the old lady up from the ground, and asked about the old lady's injury with great concern.

At this moment, five or six men in their thirties gathered around fiercely, accusing several actors of knocking down the old lady and demanding compensation from them.

The amount of compensation... ten points per person.

Several actors argued hard, claiming that the old lady fell by herself and that they were just acting bravely.

A county magistrate happened to be passing by with a group of government officials. Hearing the dispute, he went to work on the spot.

In the end, the county magistrate ruled that each of the employees should pay ten points to the old lady.

The actors also received an official reminder from the studio that ten points would be deducted from their accounts.

"Fuck! I've actually been touched!"

"What kind of bullshit judge is this?"

Several actors who went to help the old lady cursed.

The few actors who didn't help the old lady watched the excitement with smiles on their faces.

"According to common sense, shouldn't movies punish evil and promote good? We went to help the old lady and were deducted ten points. This is unfair." Several actors who helped the old lady felt very unhappy.

Everyone received instructions from the director, asking them to continue walking along the street.

So the actors continued to walk forward.

While walking, a woman riding a bicycle on the street was knocked down by a man riding an electric bicycle while passing by from behind. She fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Everyone stopped and looked at the woman who fell to the ground.

"The name of the plot this time is "To Help or Not to Help". The first old lady was deliberately cheating. After helping her, she was deducted ten points. This time it is not a cheat. Will there be any reward if she helps her? "

"You want to try? I don't want to be detained again."

"This is the director's trap, to test our kindness with the first old lady who touches the porcelain. If we don't dare to help the person who falls to the ground because of the porridge, then we will miss the chance to win the big prize."

"What you said is so good, then go help me!"

After everyone hesitated on the roadside for a while, an actress in her thirties gritted her teeth and ran over to help the young woman who fell to the ground.

Several middle-aged men ran over from all directions and surrounded the actress. The woman on the bicycle who fell to the ground also claimed that she was knocked down by the actress and demanded compensation from her.

The county magistrate and his government officials happened to be passing by nearby.

Handle cases on site.

In the end, the county magistrate ordered the actress to compensate the fallen woman twenty points.

The losses suffered by the old lady were even worse than before.

"What a bad luck!" The actress looked depressed.

"Hahahaha..." The other actors gloated.

The actress originally wanted to get a bargain, thinking that the old lady was cheating last time, but this time the cyclist was not cheating. She never thought that this time she was still cheating, and the loss was even greater.

Is there any secret to helping or not?

You can earn points if you hold the right one, but points will be deducted if you hold the wrong one?

The question is how to judge whether to support is right or wrong?

The director asked these NPCs to come here to perform "wrestling skills". They can't all be good at it, right?

What was the point of filming this scene?

The actors continued walking along the street, thinking hard.

At this moment, two little boys were playing football on the sidewalk and kicked a young man walking on the roadside.

The young man was furious, rushed over and kicked one of the little boys away.

The little boy cried loudly after he landed and couldn't get up for a long time.

The young man disappeared in a flash.

Another little boy playing football also disappeared without a trace.

"Do you think this can be helped?"

"Go and help me! This time, 40 points will be deducted."

"It's impossible for such a young boy to blackmail people, right? The old lady and the biker girl just now were obviously acting in a show-like manner. The kick that the little boy received just now was not light."

"If you think it's impossible, just go ahead and help! No one will stop you."

"Maybe it's a reward this time?"

"Haha, as soon as you go to help me, a group of fierce men will rush over and surround you, and then the county magistrate will come."

The actors looked at the little boy who fell to the ground and made various comments.

The actors were somewhat confused about the director's intentions.

According to the director's introduction at the beginning, the name of this scene is "To Help or Not to Help"?

What exactly is it going to show?

It shows that the world is declining, and people who are helped to the ground will be raped?

Or to show people's kindness? The person who insists on helping someone who falls to the ground even if they are being blackmailed?

There is no way to judge whether it is right to support or not to support based on the existing clues!

Just as everyone was hesitating, the actress who had helped the cyclist walked over again and helped the little boy up.
