please don't believe me

"Welcome to Seriga Pharmaceuticals.

"Siriga Pharmaceuticals is committed to the world and has entered thousands of homes...

The large and small screens in the lobby scrolled to play promotional videos, and professionals in suits and high-heeled shoes came and went in the lobby, stairs and elevators with various documents and utensils.From time to time, scientific researchers in white coats appeared in the corridor. They either hurriedly flipped through the documents in their hands, or discussed difficult and obscure issues with people around them at a very fast speed, and walked quickly.

A man in a black suit and red tie appeared in the hall, with one hand in his pocket, and his smiling expression looked very familiar to this place.Passing women in the workplace saw him and greeted him with a smile.

There are two people behind him, one is a slender young man in his twenties, wearing a gray hoodie and jeans, half-closed his eyes and scanning the whole environment without emotion; , People who know him or not will be stunned the moment they see him. The local celebrity, the current head of the Weiss family - Stuttgart.

The man leading the way led them to the front desk, where the company name and red and blue logo of "Sirriga Pharmaceuticals" were pasted on the background wall, which stood out against the soft background light.Two young and beautiful girls were sitting here, and the man smiled at one of the girls with curly hair and red lips: "Is Dr. Gray here today? I didn't seem to see him when I came to the company recently...but I brought a guest to see him today , have made an appointment with him."

"Waiting for you, Mr. Bailey." When the girl smiled, her red lips were very charming.She picked up the phone and dialed the internal number, hung up after two or three sentences, and smiled at the man: "Dr. Gray's office door is open for you."

"Thank you. I'll trouble you again. Someone will deliver two cups of coffee to the doctor's office in half an hour. If you can't find anyone by then, please let me go." Dai Bowen withdrew his hand on the front desk and turned to face the doctor. The two behind said, "This way please, Mr. Weiss."

"'Romantin' was originally a neurosuppressive drug developed by the government for the high pressure of war suffered by members of the military. Its main function is to eliminate 'fear'. The military testing of this drug began in [-], which is During the war against I..."

Professor Gray is also wearing a white coat, with a white shirt and light blue tie inside.He is a little bald and wears myopia glasses of more than [-] degrees, but none of this affects his intelligence and neuroscience achievements.He is the director of the research and development department, and has been in charge of the private research and development of "Romantin" for nearly seven years.He led Dai Bowen, Stuttgart and the young man through the doors of each research room, and while introducing the functions of these rooms with Dai Bowen, he stated the history of "Romanting".

"At the very beginning, everyone was very controversial about 'Romainting', because the soldiers who used it were likely to be unable to perceive fear and reduce their ability to assess safety, thus putting themselves and their teammates in extremely dangerous situations .As testing continued, the drug was continually improved, and of course, the actual effects of the drug were a military secret that could not be disclosed at the time."

Dai Bowen said with a smile: "But it's different now, isn't it? We are working hard to put this miraculous drug on the market. Because even if ordinary people don't have the haze of war, there may be some unnecessary effects that affect daily life. Fear. Fear of heights, phantom death, autism..."

"Yes." Professor Gray stood still in front of a glass door, and made a conclusion while pushing the door open, "Fear is essentially the same."

Dai Bowen and others followed the professor into the door.This is a medium-sized meeting room, except for the last row, the lights are not turned on, and some personal video materials are being played on the projection screen directly in front.Several scientific researchers in white coats sat below in twos and threes to watch, some were flipping through their notebooks to take notes, and some were whispering to each other.

"Today is the fourth day of taking 'Romantine'." A young figure on the screen is narrating, "I take it four times a day, and now, I am taking this medicine No. 20."

He swallowed a blue capsule in front of the screen and took a sip of water.

"After taking it this morning, I went to the supermarket. When I went up from the third floor to the fourth floor, I didn't spend much time hesitating, and I stepped on the escalator directly." The young man said, "You know, it is a suspended design. , I didn’t even go to the fourth floor because of it. But now, I can easily go where I want to go without taking the stairs of the safe passage.”

The young man shook the divided pill box: "I feel that it is working, and everything is getting better."

The screen went dark, and then switched to another scene.

A girl appears in the frame, also holding a pill box: "Hey guys, it's day four! Here's the magic capsule, I just finished taking it."

"I participated in a group experiment yesterday. In the past, I probably could only do some writing work for the summary report, but this time, I tried to stay at the experiment site and observe." The girl smiled shyly, " Although I only lasted for 2 minutes after seeing the blood...but this is a very good change for my nursing studies!

"I'm paying more and more attention to the influence of 'Romainting'. Although I don't know what step it can make, I've been looking forward to it..."

The video continued to play, and all kinds of people appeared on the screen.

By the door, the young man standing beside Stuttgart looked carefully for a while, and asked in a low voice, "What is this?"

Dai Bowen pointed at the screen and replied in a low voice: "They are all volunteers for clinical trials. We require the volunteers to record the effects of taking them every day for our scientific research team to analyze in detail."

Professor Gray added: "This is the latest batch of recorded videos of volunteers."

While they were still whispering at the back, a white coat sitting in front suddenly noticed the movement and turned around: "Professor Gray, Mr. Bailey? What's the matter?"

The recorded video of the volunteers was pressed to pause, and the researchers turned their heads to watch.

"Excuse me," said Professor Gray, "but I may need to occupy this conference room."

Several white coats nodded, packed up their things, stood up, and walked outside.Professor Gray stopped one of them again: "Please help me play the video explaining the role of 'Romantin'."

"Okay, Professor."

"Welcome to Seriga Pharmaceuticals.

"Siriga Pharmaceuticals is committed to the world and has entered tens of millions of households.

"Now, please allow us to introduce you - 'Romantin'."

A video about the working principle of "Romantin" was playing on the screen.This video looks like a series of other videos of "Siriga Pharmaceuticals", but it is not exactly the same.It is easy to detect that this is a series, because these films have a clear style, full of provocative and high-tech sense-after all, this is a commercial film; it makes people feel different because it is a clip as an explanation video , obviously added some professional terms, but fortunately, it strives to be understood by everyone, so it adopts an easy-to-understand description method.

"...when you take Romantine, it goes safely into your brain and acts on the amygdala. The amygdala is the main part of the brain where fear is generated and the nerves learn and remember it. Here, a gene thought to be strongly associated with fear controls oncoprotein 18..."

The video is not long, and it finished playing in about ten minutes.Although people who have watched it will have a feeling of "I seem to understand it", it is all an illusion, because the whole video is actually just a mixture of true and false, old and new knowledge.It is only because the logic of this video is smooth and the words are precise that it looks very professional.

This is one of the methods of film and television works.How to make the audience accept the film and television plots that are difficult to happen in real life?As long as enough hints and expectations are given before this, the audience will agree with this logical thinking and accept its unfolding.

Dai Bowen is not the director of Bandele, but he has the memory of the director and the team he is familiar with.Combined with professional knowledge, it is really easy to make such videos that are both true and false.

The young man in the gray hoodie claims to have "become a good doctor after a long illness", but when faced with such a video commentary, his knowledge reserves still look pale and pitiful.In order to maintain decency, he "racked his brain" to come up with a few marginal problems, which were easily resolved by Dr. Gray.

Dr. Gray, is a true neuroscience field expert.

The authority of the experts "suppressed" the patient's doubts, but Dai Bowen still saw that the young man was skeptical.He stood up with a smile: "Why don't we look at some other results? Doctor, is anyone here for a regular test today?"

"I think there is." Dr. Gray turned around, turned off the projector completely, and led the person out of the meeting room.

They walked to the other side of the building, halfway through the air corridor surrounded by transparent materials.There are still many people busy in the various offices on the other side, and the people who passed by Dr. Gray and Dai Bowen kept nodding to them, obviously this is also the territory of Siriga.

All this shows that Xiruiga Pharmaceutical has a lot of money.

Dr. Gray walked to the door of a certain room and knocked on the open glass door: "Hey, Jerry!"

A chubby man in a white coat who was arranging documents raised his head: "Dr. Gray?"

"What regular testing of the effects of taking is going on now?"

"Now? Let me see..." Jerry picked up the files he had just sorted out, flipped through them, "a five-week closed test in the dark, and a three-week electric shock expectation."

"Expectation of electric shock?" Dr. Gray replied, "I'll take someone to see, where is it?"

"I happen to be going there too, let's go." Jerry walked out with the plywood file.

Dr. Gray and his entourage followed Jerry and explained as they walked: "The anticipation of the electric shock is to give the subjects some cards, and the cards are randomly divided into most green and a small part of red. When the subjects cannot see the front of the cards , Show the researchers cards one by one gradually. When the card is green, everything is safe, and when the red card appears, he will receive an electric shock."

The young man in the gray hoodie suddenly looked up at Dr. Gray.

Probably because of the word "shock".Dai Bowen glanced at Stuttgart next to him: This brother seems to have tried electroshock therapy for his younger brother...

Stuttgart looked at him expressionlessly.

——Inexplicable little theater——

Dai Bowen: Hypnosis dependence, electric shock therapy, you really "care" about your brother...

Stuttgart: He himself agreed.The treatment I chose, I have to finish the electricity even when I cry.
