Chapter 523 A free man in a cage!

Amid Subona's madness, Li Youzhi's challenge of imprisonment continues.

With long-term fitness skills and a few days of surprise training before the challenge, Li Youzhi's body is in the best condition at this time.

After getting rid of all the discomforts at the beginning of entering the completely silent prison cell, the few benefits of this completely silent and isolated environment also became highlighted at this time.

What's the benefit?

No one bothers!

In an absolutely quiet environment, Li Youzhi entered a state of deep reading and thinking. Looking at the hexagrams and lines of the I Ching on his arm, Li Youzhi gradually fell into a trance.

In this state where the flow of time is diluted, one hour, two hours, three hours...

Unknowingly, the whole morning passed by in a hurry!

As 12 o'clock Beijing time arrives, it has been a full four hours since the start of the challenge, and the comment area on the live broadcast page of Heguang Audiovisual is already boiling!

"Fuck, it's been five hours, it's been five hours!"

"He's been watching it for five fucking hours, guys. He doesn't even seem to move!"

"He must have moved. I observed him all morning. He changed his position seven times in total, raising and lowering his arm three times, holding his face with his left hand twice, and his right hand twice..."

"What do you call this action? My fucking masturbation movements are more complicated than this, right?"

Netizens who were unable to help in the whole process and mainly wanted to be a companion were completely stunned by Li Youzhi's determination during the challenge on the first morning.

In fact, not only domestic netizens, but also simultaneous comments from overseas parties on the live broadcast page have skyrocketed. The online popularity of the live broadcast page has reached a terrifying 1.4 million+!

In the morning, Li Youzhi failed to live up to the wishes of those British netizens who came to watch the show with strong hostility. He suffered a nervous breakdown in the first hour and had already dissuaded a considerable number of the black audience.

Therefore, many of those who are paying attention to the challenge live broadcast and commenting in the comment area are Waguang Audiovisual Overseas Edition users who simply come to watch the fun. And...overseas netizens who heard about Li Youzhi's challenge through INS or other social platforms and made a special trip to watch the excitement.

After seeing that Li Youzhi, who had been trapped for five hours, was still in such good condition, some netizens couldn't say they were stunned. They could only say they gave a thumbs up and said they were convinced!

"Damn it! I heard that in order to experience life, some people lock themselves in a room, bring only water and bread, and then meditate in the room by themselves. At first, he will feel very irritable, just like this guy , it feels like a withdrawal reaction. But after a while, the person will start to think about life and the meaning of life. After 7 days, prepare an apple, wash it and take a bite, and then feel the taste of the apple in your mouth. I heard that the taste of that apple at this time will make people feel the beauty of the whole world. Is this guy doing such a thing? "

"Come on! What you are talking about comes from a best-selling book called "The Madman on the Left and the Genius on the Right." Most of the cases about mental patients in this book have been proven to be fabricated. Why? Is it possible that someone could stay in a house like this for a few days and still be mentally healthy? I feel claustrophobic and anxious just looking at it!”

"Oh my god, I've imagined something like this; the apocalyptic zombie crisis and me being trapped in a basement with an endless supply of food and water. I've imagined Many times, I wondered how I could survive in that closed environment, and finally I concluded that I would kill myself—human beings simply cannot endure this kind of life where there is no communication at all and only one’s own existence!”

"What's the matter? I swear to God, this kind of imprisonment is not difficult for me. I will shoot eighteen rounds of pistols in there and shoot myself until I faint. In this way, when I wake up, I will Guaranteed 48 hours have passed!”

"Hello foreign idiot in front of you, is it possible that after masturbating eighteen times, you may not wake up after 48 hours? Instead, you will die directly and go to see your God with a white turbidity all over your body?"

"Hahahaha, of course my friends from China, the situation you mentioned cannot be completely ruled out. In short, I mean this challenge is really interesting, and now I want to share it with my friends - from Brazil love.”

As comments from more and more countries and regions emerged in the comment area, the sharing data of the live broadcast page began to soar.

at the same time.

A psychology studio in downtown Manhattan, USA.

Whitney Manny, a well-known Internet celebrity doctor with a double master's degree in psychology and behavior, and also has more than 7 million subscribers on the YouTube channel "Manny's Psychological Treehouse", frowned.

As an Internet-famous doctor who received a double master's degree in psychology and behavior from the University of Michigan at the age of 24, and whose looks are as good as those of a Hollywood star, Manny's fans pushed her Heguang Audiovisual's product as soon as Li Youzhi took up the challenge. Challenge live page link.

But when she received the link to the challenge page this morning, Manny didn't take it seriously.

Because in her opinion, there is no way for a normal person to stay in a small environment with absolute silence and negative decibels of noise for five days.

Whether from the perspective of psychology or human behavior, this is a challenge that is bound to fail.

But five hours later, she felt a little surprised when she saw the link shared by fans again and the private message saying "Look Manny, that guy is still going on."

As an Internet celebrity doctor, in order to attract fans and create program effects, Manny has conducted a large number of psychological and behavioral experiments through her alumni relationships.

One of the most popular ones is an astronaut training exercise conducted by NASA. In that training, five professional astronauts conducted a week-long closed training in a simulated weightless space capsule.

The astronauts who were selected from thousands of people all showed strong physiological discomfort when they entered the sealed underwater environment for the first time. Strong reactions such as severe anxiety, mental breakdown and even psychologically induced physical dehydration occurred.

It was with this curiosity that Manny opened the live broadcast page.

Seeing Li Youzhi, who was sitting on the floor with his shirtless body in the picture, looking at his tattoos, she pursed her plump lips.

After roughly scanning the comments from netizens in the comment area, he put his hands on the keyboard.

“In 1954, psychologists Bexton, Scott and others paid student subjects $20 a day and asked them to wear special translucent plastic glasses and rubber gloves on their hands and arms. , lying quietly on a comfortable cot in an environment with low-frequency noise produced by an air conditioner. At the beginning, many of the novel subjects slept heavily or thought about their term papers. After hours, they decided to escape this monotonous environment.

This experiment became the very famous sensory deprivation experiment, and the results of the experiment showed that in a closed environment with no graphic visual stimulation and limited tactile and auditory senses, boredom and restlessness are the minimum reactions.

If the subject is in such an environment for a long time, the subjects will lose their attention, their thinking will be disturbed, they will be unable to think clearly, and their intelligence will decline. In addition, significant physiological changes also occur. Through the analysis of brain waves, it was proved that all the activities of the subjects were seriously disordered, and some subjects even experienced hallucinations and schizophrenia. If this person has really been in such an environment for five hours, then I suggest that he stop this stupid challenge immediately to avoid irreversible damage to his thinking ability and language function! "

Obviously, many of the overseas netizens who were active on the Heguang Audiovisual Challenge live broadcast page and those from the YouTube side knew about Manny.

Seeing the warning issued by the most active and authoritative cardiologist on YouTube, these people immediately became agitated.

Just as people were liking this comment one after another, the Guinness referee who was responsible for supervising Li Youzhi's confinement challenge also appeared in the upper right corner of the live broadcast screen.

"Friends who are watching the challenge live broadcast, now I will announce the birth of a new world record; I have just obtained the Guinness World Records database information. Prior to this, it was set by 27-year-old Texas man Hanni The world record of two hours and thirty-four minutes set by Sykes on November 1, 2019, has been broken by Mr. Li Youzhi."

Live page.

Seeing these two messages in a row, domestic netizens who were still in a fun mood just now... couldn't stand it any longer!

Beep!

Received amazing points, 5012900 points!

Beep!

After receiving the suggested task (stop challenging immediately to avoid irreversible damage to thinking ability and language function), the task difficulty is 3 stars.

Received a suggested task (Brother, come out, don’t become a bad guy)...

(Ah ah ah, little brother, be obedient, we won’t do this challenge, come out quickly)…

(I suggest you come out as soon as possible. If you don’t come out, you can masturbate a dozen times to make yourself faint. Don’t become a drooling lunatic!)…

(It has been merged with the previous suggested task, and the difficulty of the task remains unchanged)

Challenge room.

"..."

Hearing a series of system prompts that suddenly rang in his ears, Li Youzhi silently took his eyes away from the I Ching hexagrams on his biceps.

He smacked his lips as he looked at the several suggestions that were refreshed continuously on the system panel and the amazing value balance that had accumulated to more than 10 million.

Should I say it or not... Although this challenge is a bit cheating, the rewards are really generous... This only... um, fifty minutes, an hour?

The stunning value is already over 10 million!

Li Youzhi nodded with satisfaction, touched his smooth chin, and hummed.

But judging from the reactions of netizens, my current state scares them a bit?

Tsk.

Although this group of troll netizens are unreliable and often cheat on me, I have to say... they are still my natural fans.

Even though they don't come when something happens, they are really shouting.

Fine.

Sensing the concerns of netizens through the limited system information, Li Youzhi raised his hands and patted his thigh hard.

Then, he stood up from the ground gently and slowly.

Challenge live page.

Seeing Li Youzhi suddenly stand up and gently rub his legs in the small and cramped room, the already chaotic barrage began to boil like oil on a hot fire.

Manhattan.

Looking at Li Youzhi standing up in the picture, Manny raised her lips slightly.

Psychiatrists are good at dealing with abnormal mental states, but most abnormal mental states and behaviors are actually well documented.

Now that Li Youzhi has taken the initiative to break the abnormal state of being too calm, the feeling of regaining control over the patient has finally returned.

"It's gratifying that he finally got out of the state of fantasy. But don't be too optimistic. His current state is very likely to turn from fantasy to anxiety. Generally speaking, after five hours of silent imprisonment, Being deprived of sensory experience, a person will have the illusion of losing himself. I speculate that he may fall into a violent period and look for some stimulation for himself to prove his true existence. It may be through cathartic behavior such as destroying room facilities or breaking things, or it may be a sudden mental breakdown and venting the negative emotions generated by yelling or talking nonsense..."

Based on her professional knowledge, Manny was energetic. Put your hands on the keyboard and type.

Just a second before she wanted to send her inference, Li Youzhi in the picture spoke!

As if he was looking for the camera, Li Youzhi, who was shirtless in the picture, glanced around, coughed slightly and smiled;

"I'm sorry, friends, I don't know how long it's been since I came here. To avoid everyone's worries, let me report my current status; I feel very hungry, a little weak, and my biological clock is completely out of whack."

"I can't feel the flow of time at all in this house. If my body functions are not messed up, judging from the fact that my beard has not grown much, it should not have been more than ten hours since I came in."

"It's really boring here, and I feel a strong sense of abandonment in such an environment. So... although I can't receive your messages, I decided to talk to you for a while."

The cameras in the room were hidden behind soundproofing materials. At this time, Li Youzhi was not facing the camera directly.

He may have noticed this, so while speaking, he returned to the center of the room again.

To ensure that this position would be covered by the camera's perspective, Li Youzhi pursed his thin lips.

Live page.

Li Youzhi looked like a blind man with no focus and could only look at the ground. The Leziren netizens in the interactive area burst into tears.

"I feel sorry for my little brother, I can't imagine being so lonely. If I had stayed in a room like this for so long, I would have gone crazy by now. He can still think of chatting with us... He really, I cried to death!"

"Say it, we are listening! You can say whatever you want, as long as you say it we will always be here with you!"

Naturally, Li Youzhi cannot see these messages from Leziren netizens.

He pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then smiled;

"It's different from the usual live broadcasts. I can't see your information and I don't know where to start. Then I will just say it casually and you can just be pure listeners. This time, there will probably be many foreigners in the live broadcast. My friend was watching, and just before I came in, the tattoo artist wrote two volumes of the I Ching on my body.

I have previously thought about how to introduce China to foreign friends, including Chinese culture, politics, and people's way of thinking. I couldn't figure it out before, but after reading part of the Book of Changes just now, I feel like I have some ideas.

If you want to understand everything about China, the Book of Changes is definitely a good entry point. This book, which already existed in the Shang Dynasty, almost influenced the development of Chinese civilization and contributed to the Chinese people's thinking mode. "

"We know that this world and everything in this world changes with time. In the process of understanding the world, the ancients also realized that the world is constantly changing, so they tried their best to find out the changes in the world The laws of the world are summed up in various ways of understanding the world. The Book of Changes, or the Book of Changes, is summed up by the Chinese. It is different from the Western way of understanding the laws of the world that originated from ancient Greek philosophy! "

Manhattan.

Seeing Li Youzhi in the picture sitting on the ground, talking face to face, thinking clearly and expressing logic, Manny opened her mouth wide.

no?

Five hours...

This guy stayed in a completely isolated silent room for five hours. It was fine that he didn't suffer from physical collapse or mental breakdown.

He... wants to talk about philosophy now? !

Looking at the comments section of the live broadcast page, she saw the comments that she had just finished editing but had not had time to send...or luckily, she had not had time to send them. Manni directly ctrl+a and deleted them all.

At this moment, she had strong doubts about the value of her double master's degree.

Either he is crazy, completely crazy, as crazy as Luo Ji... or I am fucking crazy!

Is this still a person? !

Beep!

Received 66 amazing points from Whitney Manny’s additional [Crash]!

Li Youzhi ignored the reminder when he heard another amazing note.

Through all the previous experiences, he has felt all kinds of malice toward Chinese people in foreign countries due to cultural and other social differences.

So when Heguang Audio-Visual went abroad, he was thinking about how to let foreigners understand China and Chinese people from the root beyond the cultural carrier of short plays.

When he was reading the Book of Changes just now, he had some realization.

Countries have different cultures, social systems, and customs. But human nature will never be too different.

So how can we face the essence of human beings?

philosophy!

Only philosophy, something that explains the core operating logic of the world, can truly transcend language and reach directly into the essential thinking of human beings, and trigger the hearts of people with different cultures, countries, systems and social customs.

With this experimental idea, Li Youzhi spoke calmly in front of the camera that definitely existed but he could not see;

“Around 300 to 500 BC, both ancient Greece and ancient China ushered in an era of dazzling stars. However, due to different production methods, ancient Greece formed a completely different way of understanding the world from ancient China;

The geographical environment of ancient Greece determined that their production activities would be centered on navigation and trade. Therefore, in order to develop navigation technology, they had to observe images to determine their orientation and routes, which inevitably led to thinking about time and space.

Ancient Greek philosophy was developed during the thinking process. Whether it is metaphysics or subject classification, the actual purpose is to try to find the laws of how the world operates. After Europe entered the Middle Ages, in order to further explain the religious issue of God's will, the elites at that time introduced the philosophical speculations of ancient Greece, from which modern science was derived.

Therefore, modern Western science is all aimed at explaining the ultimate question of God’s will. The foundation of Chinese civilization is based on an agricultural society. The heaven and earth, water and fire, wind and thunder, and mountains and rivers represented by the basic Bagua in Zhou No. 1 Middle School are all elements related to agricultural production.

If you want to understand the philosophy of Zhouyi, you only need to remember two basic rules; change is eternal, and immutability does not exist. Any development and change follows the law that things must go to their extremes..."

Challenge live page.

As Li Youzhi just broke the silent room survival world record and Guinness China released a message on Weibo, attention to Li Youzhi's challenge once again ushered in a wave of traffic growth.

At this time, seeing Li Youzhi speaking carefully in Chinese and English about the origins of Chinese and Western philosophy and culture, as well as the core rules of the Chinese Book of Changes, the 14.5 million Chinese netizens in the live broadcast room... couldn't stand it anymore. .

Philosophy is very boring, but Li Youzhi, who works hard to introduce Chinese philosophy to foreigners, seems so vivid at this moment!

"He really makes me cry to death... At this time, he is still thinking about introducing China to the world!"

"Five days are too short. If my mother locks him up for fifty days, maybe there will be one more philosopher in China!"

"It's a bit emotional... Although my little brother is in a cage, his thoughts are flying freely in the universe. Although I am in the world of mortals, my thoughts are bound to the cage of cognition. Compared to him... I am more like a prisoner. ah!"

"Maybe he shouldn't be a star, he should be an astronaut or a philosopher. This kind of tolerance for loneliness and extreme environments... is a talent that I really can't envy!"

"If I had this concentration, what the hell couldn't I do?"

"Honestly, compared to little brother, I'm just a loser. Little brother, you're awesome!"

Following Li Youzhi's clear dialectic, the comment area of ​​the challenge live page... exploded!

——

On the other side, in the capital, is the Film Bureau.

Wang Xintian is receiving guests.

Looking at Yang Chenghao, the president of Douishou Group, sitting on the sofa, Wang Xintian chuckled.

"Mr. Yang, your group has done very well in recent years, and the short video business has developed rapidly. In the domestic short video market, you guys have almost occupied 60 to 70% of the share. Why are you still thinking about making movies?" This business? If I remember correctly, you used to adopt a platform strategy, that is, to acquire existing film and television rights and broadcast them on your platform?"

Faced with Wang Xintian's inquiry, Yang Chenghao smiled helplessly.

"Wang Ju's words give us a high hat. The reason why our Doushou has such a high share is because the platform is still in the development and accumulation period. Although it has occupied some market share, the platform is still losing money as a whole. What about the process of changing customers? As long as we lose money, life will be difficult. Why don’t we think of ways to increase business profits? "

There is no other way. He has dealt with officials too much, and as a capitalist, Yang Chenghao has become accustomed to self-deprecation.

The fear is that if the group becomes too big, it will touch some sensitive nerve and trigger unexpected factors that are detrimental to the development of the group.

Sitting behind the desk, looking at the cautious Yang Chenghao, Wang Xintian shook his head secretly.

This is another patient with persecution paranoia.

For no reason, he thought of Li Youzhi's sunny and handsome face.

Even as an official, Wang Xintian prefers the communication method of speaking directly when something happens, not concealing advantages or avoiding disadvantages, and making demands when necessary.

Thinking this, Wang Xintian smacked his lips;

"Isn't that right, Mr. Yang? I remember that your group's financial report last year was profitable? Didn't you say that it made more than 3 billion in profit last year? Your business has expanded overseas and has been listed abroad. Why are you still doing this? Am I crying?"

When he said this, the bitterness at the corner of Yang Chenghao's mouth changed from fake bitterness to real bitterness.

"Wang Ju, you don't know that our overseas business has actually been laid out three years ago and started to make profits. But recently, it may be because there are too many users of the overseas version of Douishou, which has had an impact on the media form there. We-media users The voice of traditional media capital has been shaken, and overseas businesses have been targeted everywhere...

We are still covering up the news, but in fact, the North American Congress has passed a bill to completely prohibit the operation of our overseas version of tktk. They asked us to sell all the equity in our business to them...the price offered...is not as much as the publicity expenses we have spent in the past few years."

ah?

Wang Xintian had heard about the fact that the overseas version of Douishou was targeted, but he thought it was just another beating for Chinese companies overseas.

Unexpectedly, things were much more serious than imagined.

"Oh, that's really...I was thinking before that there is a nice young man who wants to develop overseas. I can introduce him to you when I have time and see if you have any resources. We can benefit from each other. I didn't expect it. ... Are you having such a hard time now?"

"Who?"

Although he didn't feel very happy when he mentioned this matter, Yang Chenghao still blinked and asked after hearing what Wang Xintian said.

"Hey, you should have heard that this guy should have cooperated with you in China. The guy who listens to advice is Li Youzhi. It's not like he made a video and went overseas some time ago. This guy has been a little wronged. Come with me and ask for resources.

Do you think I have any overseas resources? I was thinking about whether there could be a business cooperation between Waguang Audiovisual and Douishou Overseas Edition. It just so happens that his side is a streaming media for film and television majors, and your side is a social short video, so they complement each other. "

"That's it, look at it...eh?"

As Wang Xintian spoke, he took out his mobile phone and opened the Heguang Audiovisual APP.

Just when he was about to hand it to Yang Chenghao, he saw Li Youzhi in a cage on the screen.

ah?

This kid... what kind of tricks is he doing again?

Li Youzhi, who was staring at the camera, chatting and philosophizing, and Wang Xintian, who wanted to give Yang Chenghao an Amway partner... were confused.
