A few days after reading the script, Xiao He arrived at the location agreed upon by the production team for filming.

This time, the filming didn't take place at any film studio; instead, it was filmed directly at a studio near the city center.

When Xiao He and his group arrived, the filming studio was already bustling with activity. Under the dark outer ceiling, Xiao He immediately spotted the "corpse" prop lying on the dissection table.

Meanwhile, many staff members were coming and going around, busy with their own work. Even when they saw Xiao He, most of them just smiled and nodded, without stopping.

Actually, the filming team here is quite different from the official filming team of "Ace Reasoning". To be precise, the short filming here is more like an outsourced team, mainly responsible for filming and promotion.

However, perhaps to avoid being outdone by competitors, the director in charge of this short film is a well-known micro-film director whose previous works have won international awards, so his directing ability is naturally not weak.

Xiao He was somewhat surprised to see the director in person.

This is a female director.

Of course, it's not that female directors are bad, it's just that they are relatively rare in the industry, and Xiao He has hardly ever met any female directors.

Upon seeing Xiao He, the short film director Qu Hua's eyes lit up.

Hello, Teacher Xiao!

Qu Hua looked to be in her thirties, with an ordinary appearance and thick black-rimmed glasses. Overall, she seemed like an ordinary person with no memorable features.

Xiao He did not discriminate based on the other person's gender. Instead, he extended his hand in a friendly manner and greeted the other person, saying, "Hello, Director Qu!"

"Have you read the script, Teacher Xiao?"

“I’ve seen it.” Xiao He paused, then continued, “However, there are some details that I may not have fully understood.”

After all, it's a censored version that hides the truth of the case. Even after Xiao He carefully read the script, he still had doubts about some plot points, which is perfectly normal.

"That's alright." Qu Hua waved her hand casually. "Teacher Xiao, just remember the persona, everything else is not a problem."

The stream of consciousness technique is primarily about achieving a high level of profundity.

As for the actors not understanding?

Just watch!

"Uh, okay."

Xiao He originally wanted to discuss it with the other party, but since Director Qu had already said so much, he could only go and change his clothes first.

After Xiao He finished changing his clothes, the scene was almost ready. There were noticeably fewer staff members walking around in the center of the set, with only a few people still tidying up the tools next to the dissection table, and then pulling over a medium-sized whiteboard.

Out of curiosity, Xiao He went up to take a look and discovered that it was a spider web-like network of interpersonal relationships.

A → (Unrequited love) B

B → (College classmate) C

C → (Ex) A

...

It's unclear whether the participating guests haven't drawn their roles yet, so these roles don't have names and are all represented by letters. Xiao He guesses that the names of the participating guests will likely be added to the corresponding character relationships after the initial filming.

As for Xiao He... his situation is even simpler; the character he plays is called "the murderer."

Yes, it doesn't have a name yet.

I wonder who will be the one to successfully draw the "murderer" after the short film is released and the first episode airs...

"Teacher Xiao, are you ready to start filming here?"

Just as Xiao He was focusing his attention on the whiteboard, other staff members came over to inquire about the situation.

"Okay, that's fine."

Xiao He immediately composed himself and turned to walk to the dissection table.

There were two autopsy tables on site. On one table lay a dummy, and on the other lay an actor playing the victim. Xiao He merely walked over and glanced at the tools on the workbench, then frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Do we need to film all these scenes and settings later?"

Xiao He inquired.

"Oh, right."
