The "hero" Lu Ning in this play is not a perfect screen image.
He is even full of flaws.
Paranoid, cowardly, prone to anger, always immersed in the past.
It can be said that apart from his handsome face and deep love for his wife, he has almost no advantages.
However, for a piece of white paper like 3214, as long as the other person has a strong color, then as long as a drop of color is splashed on him, that drop of color will become a profound imprint.
Shen Tingyan looked at the big screen with serious eyes.
This story is not about the love between the male protagonist and 3214 at all, but about 3214's own love.
His love makes people doubt, does he really understand what love is? Or has he simply fallen into the vicious circle of "learning" and been deceived by programs and data without realizing it
But when everyone saw—
The light in the bedroom is very dark.
— Just like a person.
Lu Ning finished rubbing his forehead and still closed his eyes, but this time, he whispered: "Yeah."
Lu Ning was startled and his pupils suddenly tightened.
He quickly reacted, exhaled, and closed his eyes.
He closed his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, too tired to answer this meaningless question.
He woke up and slowly opened his eyes.
Lu Ning fell into a trance, and might even forget his crazy drunken behavior when he woke up. However, 3214 sat beside him for a long time, and then raised his hand to wipe his eyes.
This is no longer a learned emotion, but something that comes naturally from the bottom of his heart.
Then, he heard an extremely hoarse voice coming from the side of the bed.
He had no tears.
late at night.
The wind was strong, and the drunken Lu Ning climbed to the window. 3214 ran over and hugged his waist and dragged him back out of control.
Lu Ning sat up on his own and took the water. The moment he opened his eyes, he inadvertently glanced at the person next to him—
He had been drinking for too long, and his brain had been numbed by alcohol. When he woke up, he almost didn't know what day it was and was so groggy.
A pair of slender and beautiful hands appears from the right side of the camera.
3214 asked again from the side: "Would you like some water?"
The camera focused on Lu Ning lying on his back on the bed.
He held up Lu Ning's head with one hand, and carefully handed the water glass to Lu Ning's mouth with the other hand.
At that moment, an expression that had never appeared on Lu Ning finally appeared on his face.
Some viewers were overwhelmed by Xue Xiao's performance, and some began to shed tears.
The style of the entire play changes from bright and warm at the beginning, to the dense twilight, and here, it completely turns to the dense night.
"Master, did you sleep well?"
The entire studio looked at 3214 in this scene, and there was a dead silence.
-It was pain, extreme pain.
Soon, the sound of cups being moved was heard.
However, when the story reaches this point, Feng Wei has not stopped yet, he will continue to push the audience's emotions.
-When the audience sees this scene, they will no longer doubt it.
He is a robot and has no tears.
He closed his eyes tightly and slept peacefully.
His mind seemed to be occupied by the dense words "why why why why why".
There was a flurry of movement in the studio.
He put his hands on the ground and his eyes were wide open. His face was frightening and heartbreaking.
But his eyes were distracted.
He stared blankly at his hands.
For a moment, he frowned slightly and fluttered his eyelashes.
"Why, why are you dressed like this?"
It's the voice of 3214.
Not Ye Ye... Ye Ye has died a long time ago, and it is now 2050.
3214's love is not an illusion at all, it is a real emotion...
He screamed out in shock, knocked over the water, and suddenly retreated towards the other side of the bed!
He froze and said in disbelief: "...3214?"
The camera slowly turned to 3214.
There was a roar in the studio.
Everyone was shocked by this scene of Xue Xiao.
The young man had already put on the fiery red suspender dress in the promotional photo, put on the wig, and applied bright lipstick.
The suspender skirt was what Ye Ye was wearing in the group photo, and her clothes had been kept in another room.
The wig and lipstick may have been bought by 3214 himself.
Even though she was dressed the same as Ye Ye, she didn't look like Ye Ye at first glance.
The adult male's body cannot be concealed. At this moment, 3214 is extremely weird, but at the same time, he is also extremely beautiful.
Black hair was messy and scattered on her shoulders.
His body is very slender, and the long skirt makes him even more slender and flexible.
The fair complexion made the bright red skirt and lips look like blood.
3214's beautiful almond eyes were hidden behind her hair, and she looked at Lu Ning innocently and doubtfully, as if she didn't know what he was afraid of.
"Master." He climbed onto the bed.
Lu Ning stepped back desperately and shouted, "Don't come over!"
3214 stopped obediently.
He knelt down on the bed obediently, and still called out so gently and innocently: "Master."
"3214, you..." Lu Ning trembled, "What's going on with you?!"
"I can become your wife," 3214 said slowly, his voice still hoarse. "As long as you refuse Chaoyun Company's daily return visits, no one will know what is happening here."
"I can never go out again, never go to the open air again, and don't let anyone see me. I can only act as your wife in front of you."
"You can do anything to me... As long as you don't cry..." 3214 stared at Lu Ning, his eyes were pure and crazy, "As long as you can live well..."
Lu Ning was dumbfounded.
He stared stupidly at 3214, the humanoid machine.
After a while, his eyes turned red.
He is a cowardly man, so cowardly that when he is unwilling to face reality, he will only numb his nerves with alcohol.
Fortunately, among the numbed nerves, there was still one that remained awake.
He took a deep breath.
He shook his head and said hoarsely: "No, this is wrong, 3214."
3214 tilted his head, frowning slightly, extremely confused.
"What's wrong? Bionic robots are all tools. You just need to use me as a tool."
Lu Ning cried for the first time because of 3214: "No, I can't use you like this."
"you can."
"3214..." Lu Ning's whole body was trembling.
He seemed to be completely awake. The 3214 at this moment was too dazzling. He felt heartbroken for the robot in front of him, and huge regret also poured into him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, things shouldn't have turned out like this... I, I probably shouldn't have bought you from the beginning. People like me shouldn't have bought any robots at all..."
3214 stared at him: "Please don't say that."
Lu Ning cried and shook his head.
The fear of 3214 in his heart completely dissipated at this moment. He slowly crawled over and hugged 3214: "I shouldn't have turned you into this. You could have been better."
3214 Numbly said: "But I think I'm fine now."
Lu Ning was in grief, but 3214 raised his head slightly and repeated: "...Master, I feel that I am fine now."
"3214, Ye Ye is Ye Ye, you are you."
"You don't have to...be anyone but yourself."
Third return visit.
In front of the camera, on the chair in the corner of the bedroom, 3214 is placed there like an abandoned machine.
He was still wearing the red dress and the messy black hair, and his dark eyes slowly and slowly swept over the three people in front of him.
His sitting posture is no longer as upright as before, but has become decadent and twisted, with his upper body slightly skewed, as if there is a problem with the function of his limbs and they are no longer under his control.
The interviewer's voice sounded off-camera: "Why is he sitting like this? Is he broken?"
Maintenance engineer: "...I have checked his body function and there is no problem."
Interviewer: "Then where is the problem?"
Maintenance engineer: "I don't know. It's the first time I've encountered this situation."
Returning interviewer: "Tsk, the old robots are troublesome." Lu Ning's voice came closer: "3214..."
A pair of strong arms appeared in front of the camera, and the man knelt down on one knee in front of 3214.
3214 lowered his eyes, stared at the other party, and allowed the other party to gently straighten him.
Lu Ning's eyes became clearer. It was obvious that he had stopped drinking, but his eyes became worried.
A pair of legs of the returning interviewer appeared in the corner of the camera, and he said coldly: "You should not touch him again, Mr. Lu."
Lu Ning froze, tilted his head and said: "... You are going to take him away anyway, so it doesn't matter if I talk to him again. After all, I spent money on your company, what do you think of a customer?"
These words made the visiting teacher fall silent.
Then, Lu Ning turned around and looked at 3214 again.
The master and the servant looked at each other silently, and Lu Ning said: "3214, if you continue like this, it will be completely broken. The embedded program will get out of control, and the mechanical parts will heat up. When the temperature rises to a certain level, you will be destroyed by yourself. Burn. So, I have to send you away."
"You must get repaired, and when the repairs are over... don't come back to me again, I will only destroy you again."
Lu Ning's voice was complicated: "I can promise you that I will try my best to live a good life... I don't know how long it will take to stop myself from being such a waste, but I will work hard."
Lu Ning fell silent.
After a moment, he said hoarsely: "I'm sorry, but thank you for taking care of me."
He held 3214's hands tightly: "Thank you for coming to my side."
Silence.
Lu Ning asked reluctantly: "Do you... have anything you want to say to me at the end?"
3214 looked at him in fascination and asked, "Do you pity me?"
Lu Ning was startled.
3214 smiled faintly and said: "Have mercy on me... but still want to send me away like a machine?"
Lu Ning trembled slightly.
The emotion of pity does not arise for a machine.
That is an emotion that only occurs between people.
Lu Ning did not deny it.
He raised his hand and caressed the side of 3214's face.
3214 rubbed against his palm like a kitten.
Lu Ning said with red eyes: "...I said, if I don't send you away, you will be completely destroyed."
3214 only said softly: "Everyone has to die."
The visiting teacher sneered slightly, feeling that it was extremely ridiculous—this thing actually thought of himself as a human being.
The maintenance engineer didn't smile, and neither did Lu Ning.
He looked deeply at 3214 and said: "...but I don't want you to die."
3214 meals.
He stared at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning said softly: "From now on, I hope that you will live well and healthily, like any happy human being, without being affected by me anymore."
The wind blew in from the window, blowing 3214's skirt and hair.
He stared at Lu Ning, love and sadness intertwined on his face. At this moment, he was as beautiful as a rose that had just bloomed but was so fragile that it was about to wither.
The lens goes dark.
Lights up again.
Lu Ning has disappeared.
The maintenance man's legs stood in front of 3214.
At some point, 3214 had returned to his usual sitting posture.
He lowered his eyes and leaned back on the chair with an indifferent expression.
The maintenance technician said: "...The flaw of the old robots is that they have a program bug. Once this bug is found by them, they can control their own memory."
"This is very dangerous... 3214," the maintenance engineer said slowly as a human, "Humans will not let things that are out of their control continue to exist."
"This is the first time. We can give you another chance, but if you hide your memory again and are discovered by us... you will have to be destroyed."
"Remember, you must not test the bottom line of human beings."
"As long as you don't tempt... you can live a long time."
This sentence is like some kind of hidden reminder.
3214 raised his eyes and looked at him.
The maintenance man also looked at him: "The human world is not limited to this small house. This world is very big, you will be interested."
The story finally comes to an end.
The subtitles appear again.
"In the decades since then, countless companion robots have had problems. People finally realized that emotional function, as the most special module of bionic robots, must not be left blank to meet people with great emotional needs. client."
"Companion robots need to be shaped and emotionally learned in advance, and then placed next to customers who need companionship."
"2110—"
In the bright interior, people are coming and going in the corridor.
3214 was wearing a nursing uniform and pushed an old man in a wheelchair to the floor-to-ceiling window.
The old man smiled and said, "Yes, just leave me here. I'll sit here for a while. You can pick me up in half an hour."
3214 smiled slightly: "Okay."
This is a nursing home, and there are many elderly people who come and go.
Sixty years have passed, and 3214 is still so young and beautiful. Just because he is a robot, as long as the parts are repaired and maintained in time, he can even live forever.
Suddenly, a voice not far away shouted: "3214!"
3214 turned around and saw a female colleague.
There is a wheelchair next to the female colleague, and a gray-haired old man is sitting on it, with his back to them, looking up at a hanging painting at the end of the corridor.
3214 walked over, and the female colleague pulled him close and introduced him in a low voice: "This is the old man who was transferred to the hospital today. He is 90 years old and has Alzheimer's disease. He almost only remembers things before he was 27 years old."
3214 looked at the old man's back.
The old man has short, silvery white hair and a slightly stooped body.
This back figure is so strange, yet so familiar.
His eyes quickly changed: "...before the age of 27?"
"Yes," the female colleague said, "By the way, my grandfather's surname is Lu, and his name is..."
At this moment, the old man seemed to hear their conversation and slowly turned the wheelchair around.
His eyes were very cloudy, but when he saw 3214, they lit up slightly and shouted: "...Ye Ye."
The female colleague sighed and said, "Ye Ye is his wife who passed away when he was young. Everyone he sees calls her Ye Ye."
3214 was quiet for a moment, then stepped forward and squatted down in front of the old man.
He looked at the old man's face carefully.
Seeing 3214's face up close, the old man's expression was confused for a moment.
He seemed to recognize that this was not "Ye Ye", but another person, but who was this person
He felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember it, and he couldn't help but have distress on his face.
The camera turns to the front of 3214.
The young man laughed softly.
This is a very long shot, a full five seconds.
In these five seconds, the young man's eyes changed slowly and delicately.
There was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, and the love that had always been hidden deep in his heart, but had become relieved after seeing the vast world in these long years.
He said: "Hello, my name is 3214, and I am your new friend."
"From now on, I will take care of your daily life."
"No matter how long life is... I will accompany you in the future."
*
The big screen rose, and Xue Xiao, Cheng Yang, Wang Hai and Jiang Xin walked up to the host Jiang Quan amidst overwhelming applause.
The cheers from all directions made them feel a little dazed for a moment.
This is especially true for Xue Xiao.
For a full eighteen minutes, he was too immersed in the performance, and he was not completely out of the drama at this moment, so there was always a feeling that everything around him was blurry.
Until within his sight—
Shen Tingyan suddenly stood up from his seat.
Xue Xiao suddenly woke up.
Shen Tingyan's standing up was like a signal. Soon, the other three instructors, the entire audience, and all the students in the student seats all stood up and applauded.
This picture completely brought Xue Xiao back to reality.
The applause in my ears suddenly became clear, so loud that it was even deafening.
Among the enthusiastic sounds, someone couldn't help shouting: "Xue Xiao!"
"Xue Xiao!"
They wiped their eyes and shouted excitedly: "—Xue Xiao!!"
