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 288 Vacation

Because the story of "The Mystery" takes place on a cruise ship, Yin Chengjue simply bought a cruise ship and asked his assistant Guan to give him three months of free time.

The script for "The Mystery" was completed long ago, but filming didn't start until a month later. This was because auditions and casting were needed, Rong Yu had just finished filming "The Great Yuan Dynasty" and was too tired to take on another project without a break, so she needed to rest, and Yin Chengjue wanted to free up a lot of time for himself. He could only spend a month working overtime to arrange the work for the next three months and then hand over the work properly.

A month later, the official Weibo account released the character photos for "The Mystery of Shadows" one after another, and the entire "The Mystery of Shadows" crew packed their bags and boarded a cruise ship.

Yin Chengjue has already planned the cruise route. When they reach V City, everyone can disembark together. Calculating the time, it will be the season when V City's city flower is in bloom, which is perfect for sightseeing and taking photos.

The cruise ship is very large, with twelve floors in a circular shape, and an open-air swimming pool in the middle where you can sunbathe when the weather is nice.

There are restaurants on the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth floors, but when there are few people, they are just there. The crew members are arranged to stay on the fifth to seventh floors, so only the sixth floor restaurant is open.

After discussing with Director Mo and the assistant director, Yin Chengjue decided to let the artists get used to the cruise ship for a day first, and let the staff work hard to set up the filming scene before officially starting filming tomorrow.

The protagonist of "The Mystery" is named Bai Mo, a private detective. He came to the cruise ship to investigate a kidnapping and body disposal case. The murderer has been on the run for many years and has finally made a mistake. His employer asked him to find the murderer.

As a poor private investigator, Bai Mo boarded the cruise ship with the invitation given to him by his employer.

On the afternoon of boarding the cruise ship, Bai Mo used various methods to obtain information about the guests on each floor. He then went to the cruise ship restaurant to collect his dinner for the day and returned to his room. While eating, he identified several people he found suspicious.

Bai Mo decided to talk to these people again the next day to eliminate them one by one. However, when he woke up the next day, he found that the guest information sheets on the table had been moved.

His profession made him always observant, so he sensed something was wrong. But since this was a cruise ship, maybe it had been tossed about by a big wave during the night's voyage, so he only had a slight doubt and didn't pay much attention to it. He went to find someone according to his original plan.

Then came the crucial point of the series.

People were calling for help from below the cruise ship. After the crew confirmed that they were on a distressed tourist boat and not dangerous individuals, they lowered the ropes and rescued them.

However, the six people who came ashore solemnly stated that the ship would run aground and sink in seven days.

The people on the cruise ship laughed and expressed their disbelief.

The six rescued people didn't force them to believe them, but continued, "Everyone, please don't leave your rooms at night, or something bad will happen."

No one was willing to believe them, and some even deliberately went against them, leaving the room at night.

Of course, they weren't foolish enough to travel alone; they came in groups, and some even held up their phones to livestream, determined to prove that it was safe to go out at night.

However, when the clock struck twelve, they, who had been laughing and joking, suddenly stopped what they were doing in a strange way, looked at each other in bewilderment, and then smiled again.

But those smiling faces looked sinister.

The secrets of the cruise ship have finally been partially revealed.

To be honest, filming a movie with such an eerie atmosphere on a real cruise ship is indeed a bit scary. To give everyone some peace of mind, Director Mo held a start-up ceremony on the cruise ship before the official start of filming, as usual. Fruits were placed on a table covered with a yellow cloth, and everyone took turns to burn incense and wish for a smooth start and all the best.

Director Mo gave everyone a red envelope, which contained a one-yuan coin folded into a rectangle with an eight-petal flower folded out in the middle.

“These are all rituals that I specially asked Mr. Xi to perform, and they are guaranteed to be effective!” Director Mo said. “Actually, I originally wanted to invite Mr. Xi to come and perform a ritual for us at the opening ceremony, but he had something to do and couldn’t come. It’s a pity.”

Others: "..." There's no need to be so superstitious.

"Alright, everyone come over and take a group photo now," Director Mo called out.

The cameraman was already in position, and before pressing the shutter, he asked, "One, two, three, isn't the director handsome?"

"Not handsome!"

"That doesn't count! Let's try again, ask again!" Director Mo said, dissatisfied.

So this time, before pressing the shutter, the photographer asked, "Isn't General Yin handsome?"

"handsome!----"

The photographer, clearly being playful, asked, "One more shot! Isn't Mr. Yin's cruise ship cool?"

"cool!--"

And just like that, the picture of a group of people pouting was obtained so easily.

The crowd, who only realized what had happened after he finished speaking, were speechless.

Unfortunately, Yin Chengjue didn't get to enjoy everyone's praise in time, because at that moment he was reading an email from Assistant Guan, which said that Feng Chengda, who had fled, had been caught.

With today's advanced technology, everything is recorded. Unless Feng Chengda stops using ID cards and starts living like a hermit in the deep mountains and forests, he will eventually be caught; it's just a matter of time.

However, Feng Chengda was also unlucky. After being captured and brought back to City A, he encountered rush hour traffic jams and managed to take advantage of the situation to injure someone and escape.

Feng Chengda dared not run on the main road, so he could only keep running away on the side roads, and in the end he unexpectedly ran into Su Zi, who had just been discharged from the hospital.

When Su Zi woke up, she learned that the child she had carefully nurtured was gone, and she collapsed on the spot. It was not just a child, but the new life she had longed for.

But in the end, it was all destroyed, all destroyed, all destroyed by the Feng family.

Su Zi, dressed in a hospital gown, walked slowly down the street. She was pale, thin, and looked decades older than before. So much so that when Feng Chengda, in his frantic escape, brushed past her, he didn't recognize her at all.

But Su Zi recognized him at a glance!

She hates him! She'll haunt him even as a ghost!

Since the Feng family refuses to give me a new life, then I'll drag you all down to hell with me!

"What? Feng Chengda is dead?" Yin Chengjue was momentarily stunned when he opened the second email sent by his assistant and saw its contents.

The first email said that Fengchengda had been brought back by his creditors, and the second email said that Fengchengda had been killed. Isn't this progress a bit too fast?

Yin Chengjue glanced at the time and saw that it was an email sent by Assistant Guan two hours ago. Because he was unsure whether Yin Chengjue was busy, and the matter was not urgent.

Yin Chengjue called Assistant Guan to inquire about the reason.

After listening to Assistant Guan's explanation, Yin Chengjue finally understood that Feng Chengda had not been killed by his creditors, but rather Su Zi had taken revenge on him.

Su Zi was found to have mental health issues when she attacked Feng Chengda, so instead of being detained at the police station, she was sent to a mental hospital.

"Okay, I understand." After hanging up the phone, Yin Chengjue walked to the window and looked at the blue sky over the sea, remaining lost in thought for a long time.

Upon hearing the news of Feng Chengda's death, Yin Chengjue felt neither sadness nor the joy of avenging a great enemy.

When he was first reborn, he was filled with hatred. He loathed these people and wished he could tear them to pieces with his own hands.

However, he also clearly realized that if he retaliated against these people before the incident occurred, they would not only fail to repent and reflect on their actions, but would also feel that they were innocent.

But now that he's had a second chance, how could he possibly let the same thing happen again?

This is clearly a false proposition.

It brings no pleasure to retaliate against someone who knows nothing, but it is also ridiculous to let them do those things first in order to experience the pleasure of retaliation.

However, there really is cause and effect in this world.

A butterfly's gentle flapping of its wings unexpectedly caused the bloodsucking worms to fight each other to the death.

While Yin Chengjue and Rong Yu were on their honeymoon on a cruise ship... oh no, officially speaking, during filming, "The Great Yuan Dynasty" premiered, its popularity soaring and quickly rising to the top of the serialized drama charts.

Deng Xiao, who has only acted in two dramas, is really good at acting. With so many handsome men and beautiful women playing supporting roles, his brilliance was not overshadowed at all. He brought to life a foolish young emperor.

Needless to say, Gao Zichuan, a top-tier male actor, has exceptional acting skills; his reputation for producing high-quality works is well-deserved.

Although Rong Yu is not the main character and the Imperial Advisor doesn't have many scenes, every time the Imperial Advisor appears, it is a turning point in the plot.

Rong Yu's fan base has once again multiplied.

However, after the new fans added Rong Yu, they quickly came across a pinned Weibo post by Rong Yu.

The Weibo post was made this morning. The caption was "Good morning," and the accompanying picture was a sleepy-eyed, plain-looking face.

Fans: "..." That hair flying everywhere, those messy eyebrows, that damn high-definition resolution... You're an idol! Even if you don't have time to put on makeup in the morning, you should at least Photoshop the picture!

However... even without Photoshop, her looks are still top-notch!

New fans who are drawn to your looks are saying: "Hmph! We won't be deterred by your bare face! You're just so handsome even without makeup!"

Seeing this, the veteran fans of Yu Xiang Rou Si (a type of shredded pork) very considerately gave them directions: New sisters, why don't you go and check out this person's Weibo again, and decide whether or not to become a fan of him after you can accept Xiao Yu like this?

That's right, the Yu Xiang Rou Si fans are directing new fans to Yin Cheng Jue's Weibo account.

New fans clicked in out of curiosity and discovered that Yin Chengjue had also posted a "Good morning" message on his pinned Weibo post, accompanied by a simple, unadorned photo of himself lying in bed in the early morning without makeup.
