Rebirth: Spoiling the Obsessive Film Emperor

Yin Chengjue’s past life was a complete joke.

The star he personally groomed not only betrayed him but twisted the knife when his company was on the brink of collapse.

Reborn, he vowed ...

Chapter 167 You're a Ghost

Five minutes later, Yin Chengjue updated his Weibo with a new post.

It was a picture of Yin Chengjue wearing a burgundy silk robe, sitting back on a sofa.

This picture was clearly not taken by Yin Chengjue himself, because both of his hands are in the picture. One hand is casually resting on the sofa, and the other hand is slightly raised, taking the hand of another person whose hand it is, and placing it between his sexy lips for a light kiss.

Yin Chengjue's narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes were slightly raised, as if he were looking at the camera with a mischievous glint in his eyes, but it was unclear whether he was really looking at the camera or at the person behind it.

Comments section: "..."

*Burp!* I'm full of dog food!

At the same time, Rong Yu also updated her Weibo with a selfie.

In the picture, Rong Yu is wearing casual home clothes, with both hands outside the screen, making it look like she is holding her phone and taking a selfie.

Rong Yu stared intently at the camera, a gentle smile on her face that fans found incredibly heartwarming!

Logically speaking, their simultaneous Weibo posts, which seemed to follow a logical flow, would have aroused suspicion. However, Wei Hai also posted a selfie at that exact moment.

Wei Hai's original intention was also to help "Ghost Trail" out of trouble. Firstly, if Ming Qian's fans continued to make trouble, the premiere of "Ghost Trail" would definitely be affected. Secondly, seeing Yin Chengjue's first post, which offered free tickets, made Wei Hai's agent, Yang Lili, think that Yin Chengjue was furious and urged Wei Hai to post a selfie to divert attention.

Yang Lili was hoping to achieve something after taking over Wei Hai's project. The current "Ghost Trail" was the best ticket to success, and there was also the annual Best Supporting Actor award in film and television in the second half of the year. She had already set her sights on that position for Wei Hai.

We absolutely cannot let Yin Chengjue smash it because of a moment of anger!

Box office revenue, oh box office revenue! If you make everything free, what will happen to the box office revenue?!

Yang Lili secretly prayed that Yin Chengjue would retract his decision.

As a result, they happened to be posting selfies.

So the three of them posted selfies at the same time, and no one noticed anything wrong with Yin Chengjue and Rong Yu's selfies.

Rong Yu, harboring a little secret: "..."

Looking at a handsome man can be quite pleasing to the eye, and many people in the comments section of Yin Chengjue's Weibo post have already expressed their willingness to buy movie tickets out of their own pockets just for his good looks.

The sentiment on Weibo gradually changed, from disliking the trailer for Ghost Story to making plans to go and watch a free movie together.

The fans of Mingqian who had been shouting on the official Weibo account that they would not buy movie tickets unless the film was shown in the trailer were now in an awkward situation. They originally thought they would be the main force at the box office, which is why they dared to shout so arrogantly. But now that the movie "Ghost" is giving away free tickets to everyone, how much box office revenue will be lost?

Mingqian's fans only wanted to give their idol a few more seconds of screen time, but they didn't expect that this would cause problems for the box office of "Ghost Trail".

Mingqian himself is still playing the second male lead in "Ghostly Trace". If the box office results are not good, how can Mingqian himself expect to do well?

The fans of Asagi immediately organized their followers to delete the previous comments on the official Weibo account of "Ghostly Trace" in an attempt to cover up their bizarre behavior over the past few hours.

However, even so, Yin Chengjue's Weibo account has not been updated with any new posts.

Three days later, "Ghost" was released in theaters across the country.

Since it happened to be the weekend, many people who had nothing to do naturally called their friends and family to come and watch the movie. In particular, young couples, upon hearing that it was a free supernatural film, immediately took their tickets and came in.

In a supernatural movie, relying on scary scenes, the two people hug each other and do all sorts of things, isn't that sweet?

The idea that supernatural films are like divine intervention seems to have become an open secret.

Yin Chengjue and Rong Yu had arranged to go to the movies today, and they had already booked a private box for two. However, after driving to the underground parking garage of the movie theater and circling around for a long time, they still couldn't find a parking space.

Left with no other choice, Yin Chengjue could only drive the car to the nearest parking spot, circling around several times before finally finding a place to park.

"There are so many people this weekend," Rong Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

Yin Chengjue flipped through the calendar: "It's not a special holiday."

The two were fully armed and covered from head to toe. Before they even entered the movie theater, they saw several people coming out together, their faces flushed, talking intensely about something. Suddenly, they made a decision and turned around to walk back into the movie theater!

This phenomenon was not an isolated case. Along the way, the two saw many people who had already left but then turned back.

Rong Yu found it strange and couldn't help but pull two people aside to ask the reason.

"It's that new movie! There are still some parts I don't understand, let me watch it again!"

"Sigh, I only went to see the movie because the tickets were free, but now I still have to pay for another one!"

"Who do you think is the real ghost? I think the male lead is the real ghost!" The two of them actually stood in front of Rong Yu and started discussing it.

"That actor's performance was truly terrifying!"

"He's actually quite good-looking, but the moment his smile appeared in the mirror, I almost left this beautiful world!"

"Yes, yes, yes! And when he crawled out of the mirror, oh my god! It scared me to death! The post-production team was really messing around, deliberately filming him face-up from the front. I thought he was going to crawl out of the big screen!"

Rong Yu: "..." I don't have that much ability.

Yin Chengjue cleared his throat, pulled Rong Yu behind him, and said, "Sorry to bother you, then we won't delay your ticket purchase any longer."

The person said, "Well, it won't cause any major delays. The queue is already outside anyway. The next show starts in an hour. Let's go grab something to eat first and then come back to queue. I think I might need to buy a few more tickets and watch the show a few more times!"

Yin Chengjue couldn't help but feel glad that he had booked a private room in advance, otherwise he would have come for nothing.

The beginning of the film "Ghost" is actually the trailer that the official Weibo account had previously released online.

It's not that the later episodes of "Ghost" were too lazy, but rather that the opening already laid the groundwork for many hidden plot points.

Every glance the protagonist makes, every scene that changes, and every person they pass by will appear in the following plot and play a role in advancing the main storyline.

At the beginning of the story, the seemingly ordinary male protagonist always wears a red outfit and has a pale face. It's as if he's possessed by Conan; wherever he goes, something bad happens.

During a talent show, someone was electrocuted on stage; while filming a period drama, someone was burned to death; and during a wedding ceremony, a groom had his heart pierced.

The male protagonist's life and career are always affected by such things, which makes him very annoyed.

He noticed that there was always a masked man acting strangely at the scene of the death, so he suspected that the masked man was the murderer and kept trying to find clues to find the killer.

However, during his search, he entered a room, pushed open a door and went inside. But when the camera pans, it turns out that there was no door at all; he simply passed through the wall!

He saw the masked man's figure in a round hole, so he climbed into the hole without hesitation, but the hole was too small, and he struggled to squeeze his body in.

There are many other seemingly ridiculous, absurd, and inexplicable actions, until the latter half of the film, when the male lead removes the masked man's mask, revealing the second male lead's face.

"You are!" The male lead pointed at the second male lead's face in shock and said, "Jiang Qing! Why is it you! Didn't you die ten years ago?"

Upon seeing this, the first thought in the audience's mind was—this Jiang Qing is a ghost!

However, the next second, Jiang Qing pointed at the male lead, Jing Sheng, and said, "No! I didn't die! The person who died in that car accident ten years ago was you! Jing Sheng!"

Jiang Qing looked at Jing Sheng, but his eyes were filled with hatred as he faced his former friend.

"Stop haunting me like a ghost!" Jiang Qing said, "Ten years, isn't that enough time? It's because you pushed me away back then, you pushed me away from that car, and then you died under its wheels. You died, and I survived, but do you know what kind of environment I'm living in?"

Jiang Qing: "Everyone thinks I owe you my life, everyone thinks I should make it up to you, spend the rest of my life making it up to you, making it up to your family, and fulfilling the responsibilities and obligations you never had the chance to fulfill!"

Jiang Qing: "Your parents want me to live with guilt every moment, and then spend the rest of my life making up for everything! But who would have thought that I was almost hit by a car back then! The driver without license plates fled and has not been found to this day, so everyone is blaming me! Blaming me, who is also a victim!"

Jiang Qing: "However, the only difference between you and me is that one of us is still alive and the other is already dead."

"Jing Sheng, you've been dead for ten years! What's the point of you haunting my house like this?"

Faced with Jiang Qing's questioning, Jing Sheng was stunned and couldn't come to his senses for a long time.

"You, you're lying to me! I'm not dead, the person who died was clearly...you..." Jing Sheng kept shaking his head, trying to deny it.

"Jing Sheng, haven't you noticed? Your face isn't reflected in the mirror at all!" Jiang Qing sneered.

"A mirror?" Jing Sheng was taken aback. "I don't have a mirror at home... I'll go buy one right now..."

Jiang Qing replied, "You can't buy it because you can't see it at all. It can't reflect your image either. In your eyes, it's something else, and the world you see is different from the world I see."

After Jiang Qing finished speaking, the scene was then shown primarily from Jiang Qing's perspective.
