Lan Hai nodded quickly, "Goddess, is there anything about the plot that you're not satisfied with?"
“It’s not that I’m dissatisfied, it’s just that I feel it’s a bit abrupt that the male lead and the second male lead entered the haunted house and found the female lead. Why don’t we design some plot points, like adding a vengeful ghost to guard the female lead? That way, the plot will be more complete and the filming will be more impactful,” Mu Chuchu suggested with a smile.
Lan Hai thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true, but finding a female ghost would require hiring a professional actress. Makeup and styling take a long time, and our budget isn't that generous..."
Lan Hai sighed, looking very sad.
Their film crew is poor!
"Director Lan, actually, it's like this. I have a friend who's very interested in this role. He doesn't need a salary, and he can handle the styling himself. He just wants to act. If you're interested, I'll take you to see it right now," Mu Chuchu said with a smile.
"Great!" Lan Hai's eyes lit up as she looked forward to finding an actress who wouldn't charge her. "Has she arrived yet? When did you call her to come?"
“We’re here now. Come on, I’ll take you to see it, and then we can talk slowly.” Mu Chuchu smiled mysteriously, took Lan Hai’s hand, and led him into the haunted house.
Soon, in the second-floor room, Lan Hai was so frightened by the red-clad female ghost standing in front of her that she almost fell to the ground and burst into tears. She grabbed Mu Chuchu and asked, "Goddess, why doesn't the actress you introduced have feet?"
The female ghost in red smiled and approached in a fawning manner, "Oh, director, hello, hello! Come, come, would you do me the honor of shaking your hand?"
"No, no, no, don't come any closer. Just stand over there and say what you have to say. I... I have a heart condition." Lan Hai hid behind Mu Chuchu, almost crying from fright.
"Director, don't be so nervous. Logically speaking, I'm your father's great-aunt. You have the scent of the Lan family on you, and I can smell it." The woman in red sniffed Lan Hai's body.
Lan Hai stammered, "You, you're quite old this year?"
"I was sixteen when I died." The woman in red thought for a moment, "I think I've been dead for seventy or eighty years, right? I'm less than a hundred years old in total, which is quite young for a ghost!" The woman in red continued with a smile, "Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Lan Qiao."
Lan Hai was caught off guard by the sight of his deceased ancestor and was so panicked that he didn't know what to do. He could only look to Mu Chuchu for help, "Goddess, what exactly happened?"
"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt anyone." Mu Chuchu explained the whole story to Lan Hai. "I have a way to make the camera capture Lan Qiao's appearance. This way, we can not only save on the cost of actors and special effects, but also help your old aunt let go of her obsession and be reincarnated. It's a win-win situation!"
Lan Qiao is a ghost, so she's usually out of the camera's view, but that's no problem for Mu Chuchu.
Lan Hai's worldview was severely challenged: "Goddess, you... you can see ghosts?"
“Not only can I, but Hua Chen can too. Director Lan, the world is so big and full of wonders. Can you accept this?” Seeing Lan Hai hesitate because of fear, Mu Chuchu raised her eyebrows. “Think about your wallet. If you use Lan Qiao, you can save tens of thousands of yuan in expenses at once.”
Tempted by the money, Lan Hai nodded in agreement without hesitation, "Okay! It's settled then! But we should also tell Shen Yi and the others about this first."
