Chapter 174 I Believe There Will Be Uqbar! ! There Is An Uqbar In Everyone's Heart! !
Time passed bit by bit.
three days later.
Wednesday morning.
Faraway Media Building.
In the top office.
Xu Qing, director of Binhai TV station, first handed the summary of Binhai TV's ratings in the last week to Su Chen, saying:
"Director Su, this is the summary report of the audience ratings for the week after Ultraman Gaia's first quarter, and it's generally good.
"According to my prediction, 15% ratings is not the limit of Gaia, and there is still more room for improvement in this work."
"Su Chen, I wonder if you intend to take a new step~?"
As Xu Qing spoke, his tone slowed down, and at the same time his eyes lit up, full of expectation.
Su Chen is also very clear that Xu Qing's visit today must have a deep purpose.
Therefore, Su Chen just looked at Xu Qing with a faint smile, and did not speak.
Seeing Su Chen seemed to have an acquiescing attitude.
Xu Qing continued: "Su Chen, now you must have a deep understanding of our TV drama industry."
"The best of the year is in Longguo, which is considered the highest honor, but you must be very clear that this is not your limit."
"From your works, I can feel that your goal is the sea of stars.
"So I would like to recommend that you take this work of Gaia to participate in the selection of this year's Starry Sky Awards."
As Xu Qing spoke, he took out the materials he had prepared in advance and handed them to Su Chen.
When Su Chen heard this, he immediately understood.
The Star Award collects works from all over the world every year, and the categories of awards are different.
If it is the best of the year, it is the domestically recognized level of strength in Dragon Kingdom.
Then the Star Award is a world-class honor!!
before this.
The domestic TV drama industry in Longguo is full of all kinds of brainless dramas, and they can't even get nomination qualifications.
But now Ultraman Gaia is breaking ratings records one after another!!
This point makes Xu Qing see hope again!!
That's why he personally approached Su Chen to discuss whether to participate in the election this time.
After all, it is competing with works from all over the world, so we must be well prepared!!
After flipping through the materials Xu Qing brought, Su Chen put them back on the table.
Su Chen then asked:
"The selection time for the Star Awards is on August 20th, right?"
Xu Qing was a little confused, but still nodded.
Su Chen said with a faint smile: "It happened to be around the time when Gaia's work ended.
"At that time, I will invite Xu Tai to attend together, and we will witness the historic moment together."
Su Chen's tone was light and light.
But it was like a thunderbolt striking Xu Qing's body!
Su Chen's words.
Obviously determined to win the Star Award!!!
For ordinary people.
You may feel that Su Chen's words are unrealistic.
But Xu Qing is very aware of Su Chen's strength.
Hearing Su Chen's words, Xu Qing, who came to his senses, felt relieved.
Ultraman Tiga!!
Ultraman Gaia!!
These two works have already proved Su Chen's absolute strength!!
Therefore, Xu Qing, who was relieved, began to have great curiosity about the source of Su Chen's self-confidence.
Could it be that Su Chen is hiding some big trick behind Gaia???
Looking at the curiosity on Xu Qing's face.
Su Chen didn't give any spoilers, just said: "Xu Tai, don't forget to watch this week's Ultraman Gaia, all the answers are hidden in the plot.
With Ultraman Gaia broadcast.
Xu Qing has been completely attracted by the series mode!!
Interlocking plots.
Leads that gradually spread out.
Xu Qing is fascinated by every episode!!
Time flies by.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Saturday night at eight o'clock.
Countless viewers stood in front of the screen early, waiting for Gaia to start broadcasting.
At this time, Xu Qing brought his little grandson to watch in front of the TV.
The all-too-familiar opening song sounded.
The twenty-ninth episode of Ultraman Gaia is officially broadcast!!
Initial screen.
The sun is fine.
The sound of the water was murmuring, and the surface of the lake shone with dazzling brilliance.
The children in the park were bouncing and laughing.
In the distance, white pigeons rise and fall, looking beautiful and peaceful.
The camera revolves around people living in peace.
At this time, even the audience is immersed in this rare beauty.
However, there are looming ghosts of monsters in the distance.
Immediately made countless audiences instantly vigilant!!
But then.
Many viewers noticed something was wrong.
The people didn't seem to notice the appearance of the monster, and everything was going on as usual.
There was only a lonely old man sitting on a bench and feeding the pigeons alone, staring at the phantom of the monster in the distance.
In the dreamlike BGM.
The lonely old man suddenly smiled and walked towards the phantom of the monster.
at this time.
The movements of everyone around were slowed down.
Even the laughter of the children disappeared.
Only that dreamy ringtone always echoes.
Looking at the phantom of the monster.
The smile on the old man's face was full of bitterness.
He almost whispered to the monster:
"Luke.․.I..I forgot my way home.."
for a while.
Many viewers were confused.
Is there any connection between this old man and the monster?
at the same time.
The monster seemed to have sensed it, and its figure disappeared among the clouds.
As the clouds dissipated, a dreamy city in the sky emerged.
Towering huge windmill.
A house like a castle.
A city in the sky surrounded by water waves.
Dreamlike.
Fascinating.
At this moment, the noon sun shines on the old man, illuminating his yearning and obsessive demeanor.
"Uqbar..."
The old man looked at the city in the sky and murmured.
this moment!!
The name Ukbar is deeply in the hearts of the audience.
The screen changed.
The plot continues.
Captain Tian Wu of the Hercules team learned the story of a strange old man Nagata while talking with his friend Zhuang Si.
Afterwards, the audience discovered that the weird old man Nagata mentioned by Zhuang Si was the old man who was looking for his hometown at the beginning.
The old man Nagata has rich work experience, but in the eyes of his colleagues, the old man is a different kind.
Because the old man always believed that he came from a place called Uqbar in the universe.
"In this place of Uqbar, there is always a breeze blowing..."
"Seeing the sky, there are many large and small islands floating..."
"Then, at the top of the tower, there is a yellow windmill turning and turning, which is really nice..."
"There's no such thing as stairs in Uqbar..."
"However, because there are many tall towers floating in the air, when we go up, we have to climb very long ladders...
After a busy day at work.
His partner, Zhuang Si, was exhausted.
But the old man always told the story of Uqbar with a smile, never tired of it.
The old man said that the reason why he loves his current job is that he hopes to find his way back to Uqbar when he travels between towns.
He sees himself as an alien from Uqbar and thinks there is some mysterious connection between Uqbar and Earth.
It seems that looking for the distant hometown in memory is his lifelong dream.
at this time.
There are still audiences who, like everyone in the play, think that the old man is just dreaming.
Everything he said was just a dream.
However.
Xu Qing, director of the Binhai station, looked at the smiling old man in the picture, and said with a dazed expression:
"Actually, as long as it doesn't affect your life and others, the ability to maintain fantasy is also very good, isn't it?"
When he was a child, he also fantasized about taking on a different mission and dreaming of changing the world.
However, with growing up.
As knowledge grows.
Participate in learning work.
The whimsical ideas I had when I was a child were gradually labeled as unrealistic.
Those memories, whether active or passive, all disappeared in the long river of time.
Now remember again.
Can't help but feel like a world away.
turn out to be...
Is this me now...
And on the other side.
The old man's description of Uqbar continues.
on the way to work.
During the break.
The old man's narration never stopped.
"In this place of Uqbar, there is always a breeze blowing"
"Because of this reason, the place of Uqbar is often submerged in very large and thick clouds.
"Also, there is an orchestra in Uqbar! There are not only big drums, but also flutes..."
"But what about Uqbar..."
"Also, in this place of Uqbar, when the westerly wind blows, there will be a circus performance. It's very beautiful, and their performance is wonderful..."
"Oh? It's already five o'clock? Blind, there is no such thing as a clock at Uqbar's place.
"However, at dusk, there will be a loud whistle."
"Then, the adults stopped working, the kids stopped playing games, and everyone went home..."
The old man's narration can be described as meticulous.
It's almost like a completely real world!!
...... Seeking flowers 0
Even many viewers in front of the TV were deeply attracted by the old man's talk.
Not busy.
There is no dispute.
A world filled with beauty and romance.
Fascinated countless viewers!!
However.
Partner Zhuang Si was exhausted from work.
The story of the old man has also changed from being curious at the beginning to being exhausted and perfunctory.
at this time.
Perhaps it was the perfunctory feeling of colleagues.
The old man's voice paused, then said:
"I believe there must be Uqbar, because that is my hometown!!"
The old man's firm tone.
It's like trying to convince your colleagues.
But many viewers felt that the old man seemed to be convincing himself.
He keeps telling others the story of Uqbar, is he also afraid that one day he will forget what Uqbar looks like??
Think here.
When the audience looked at the old man in front of them again, they only felt that he was very lonely.
He introduced his proud hometown to others, but others only regarded him as a different kind...
But even so, he still insists on pursuing the distant hometown.
If you were an ordinary person, you might have given up a long time ago...
at this time!!
Partner Zhuang Si complained: "Yes, yes, there must be Uqbar, it's in your mind, old man.
A random word from a colleague.
But it made the old man lose his mind for a long time.
Even nearly crashed the car into a tree!!
At this moment, a viewer thought of the complaints made by Zhuang Si and Captain Tian Wu of the Hercules team before, and suddenly understood:
00
"Zhuang Si: The epitome of reality of ordinary people, who dreamed of being an actor, but succumbed to reality and came to work in a delivery company."
"Being powerless to chase one's own dreamland, but scoffing at other people's dreamland, this is the real human being."
On Zhuang Si's body.
The audience sees themselves.
Everyone has dreams.
Childhood fantasies, naive and immature.
The dreamland of childhood is just like the Uqbar that the old man chases.
It is the sustenance of everyone's soul.
However.
In the process of growing up, people gradually lose that fantasy.
study.
Work.
Life.
All kinds of trivial things occupy people's hearts.
In every deep night, only empty shells remain.
No one has time for fantasies anymore.
We yearn to be old.
But in reality we are just Chuang Si.
perhaps...
Uqbar, which belongs to us, has been left in the past.
The screen changed.
The plot continues.
Zhuang Si's previous words continued to echo in the old man's ears.
Like a curse, it always haunts the old man's thoughts.
"Is there... there is no such place as Uqbar at all?"
"I've been looking for it for twenty-five years.. I've been looking for it.."
"It's been twenty-five years..."
at this time.
The screen flashes past memories.
The season of warm spring and flowers blooming.
The midsummer with the constant chirping of cicadas.
The air is cool in late autumn.
The harsh winter.
countless times...
Looking up at the sky countless times...
Countless runs to find...
Twenty-five years of persistence...
But nothing was found...
Is there really no such place as Uqbar???
Is that really just something he imagined???
The old man sat alone at home, murmuring to himself.
The camera is close to the dull expression of the old man.
The shaking and bewilderment in the old man's eyes can be clearly seen at a glance.
In order to find that distant hometown.
He has spent his whole life!!
Twenty five years!!
keep looking!!
Is it just an empty dream in the end???
At this time, looking at the old man who fell into self-doubt.
Look at this person who has been looking for Uqbar for 25 years in the strange eyes of ordinary people!!
A viewer left a message in the bullet screen to comfort him:
"Old man, the Uqbar that belongs to you must be real, it is a utopia that belongs to you alone!!"
at the same time.
A viewer sits alone in an empty room, recalling the castle he built as a child.
A castle made of branches and leaves.
A small piece of world, but it is his country alone.
Now he is an engineer!
Thinking of this, the audience let out a long sigh, and at the same time typed to send the barrage:
"Everyone has an Uqbar in their hearts, and this Uqbar is the tenth purpose of living.",
