"Has "Evening Canteen" contacted you?" Tang Niannian asked Shi Xi.
Shi Xi took a sip of Coke and shook his head: "No."
"I feel like the host is not just saying it casually," Tang Niannian said, "The main episode of the secret room variety show has received good response, and it will definitely bring some popularity in the next few days. Let's wait and see, that variety show is quite interesting, I hope you can be on it."
Tang Niannian was right, the main episode of the escape room variety show has brought the popularity back.
After #Let Xiaoshi go record the weird experience# became a hot search, it attracted the attention of more netizens, and the positive and kind voices quickly drowned out the malicious remarks.
[Please be more kind to the growing artists without background. In this variety show, I saw an interesting, beautiful actress with unlimited potential. She doesn’t have any representative works now, but I believe that interesting and talented actors will not be buried! ]
[The director of the Weird Experience House didn't say anything, why are you guys arguing about it? ]
[What if Shixi really goes on Weird Experiencer in the future? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for those who are now criticizing him? ]
[I decided to cultivate Shi Xi, waiting for a slap in the face moment. ]
Shi Xi gained a lot of fans because of this.
The next afternoon, Shi Xi and Tang Niannian successfully completed the filming and met Jia Ming in a restaurant near the set.
There was very little content in the pilot, and they shot it in less than twenty minutes in a private room in a restaurant.
After finishing the work, the waiter brought the dishes and the three of them ate and chatted.
Shi Xi asked Jiaming about his recent situation. He said, "My family got sick some time ago, so I went home. I haven't done any live broadcasts during this time, but I've been collecting information. I found out that there's an old restaurant called 'Xing Ji' nearby that has supernatural rumors. I might go there for my next live broadcast."
Shi Xi thought for a moment and said, "Since you have been staying at home all this time, the Yin-Yang Eyes should not have affected your life, right?"
Jiaming shook his head: "No, I didn't see any weird people or things along the way today."
"Maybe you just didn't notice it," Shi Xi suggested to him, "If you don't plan to seal your Yin-Yang eyes or change your career, you should go to Wuyou Temple to ask for the amulet before you start working."
Jiaming nodded: "That's what I planned too. If it were before, I would have gone there without hesitation if I knew this place was close to Xingji Restaurant. Now I think it's better to prepare before going there again, so as to avoid the tragedy of the land temple happening again."
At around eight o'clock in the evening, the three-person dinner ended. Shi Xi and Tang Niannian returned to the hotel arranged by the crew, while Jiaming took a taxi home.
In the car, Jiaming listened to music with headphones on and thought about how to edit the pilot film.
When the third song came, the taxi suddenly stopped by the roadside. It was still far from the destination. Jiaming took off one earphone and asked the driver, "What's wrong?"
"The car has broken down," the driver said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, please get off here and call another car."
It was working fine just now, why did it suddenly break down? Jiaming felt a little strange, but he still got off the car.
"I've never been here before, but the street scene seems familiar to me, especially this building." Jiaming looked up in confusion and saw a malfunctioning dark red neon sign. The words "Xingji Restaurant" nailed him to the spot.
No wonder he felt familiar with it. He had seen photos of Xingji Restaurant when collecting information online. If it weren't for the poor light at night, he would have recognized it at a glance.
Is this a coincidence? This coincidence is too weird. He just mentioned it during dinner, and now he came to the door of Xingji Restaurant by accident.
Jiaming looked back and found that the taxi had disappeared.
Isn't there something wrong?
The more Jiaming thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his palms, and he didn't even dare to turn his head to look at Xingji Restaurant.
His thoughts were a little confused, and he didn't dare to stay where he was. He just chose a direction and walked away, thinking about leaving here first and then taking a taxi.
The pedestrians on the road eased Jiaming's fear. He held the strap of his camera bag and walked forward with his head down, his mind in a mess. What should he do if "someone" grabbed him from behind? What would she do if she encountered such a thing when she was a child?
Before he could come up with an answer, Jiaming was suddenly bumped into by a woman in a red dress who was walking hurriedly.
The collision was quite hard and Jiaming was knocked back two steps. The woman in the red dress fell down and the white wedding dress in her hands also fell to the ground.
Jiaming quickly reached out to her and asked worriedly, "Are you hurt?"
The woman in the red dress held his hand and cried, "I sprained my ankle. Can you take me back to the bridal shop?"
Her hands were extremely cold, and Jiaming shuddered with cold, with a bad feeling in his heart. He looked around nervously and found that passers-by were looking at him with strange eyes.
Jiaming suddenly remembered what Shixi said: Maybe there are strange people or things on the road, but he just didn't notice them...
The cold fingers of the woman in the red dress squeezed into his fingers and clasped his fingers together. Fear instantly filled his heart.
…
Shi Xi returned to the hotel and comfortably curled up on the sofa to read the script, occasionally discussing his part with Lin Ying.
When she was almost ready, she received a call from Lin Wenyi.
"There's finally news from the Evening Canteen," Lin Wenyi said with a smile, "There's been no news for so long, I almost thought they were just playing with you."
Shi Xi: "Did I make an appointment with you?"
Lin Wenyi: "Yes, they invited you to record the fourth episode of the show. The time is from 4pm to 9pm next Saturday. The location is a farm B&B in the suburbs. The program team will arrange accommodation for the guests. If you can spare the time, I will help you agree."
Shi Xi looked at the shooting schedule and said, "If you can spare the time, agree to it."
"Great!" Lin Wenyi cheered, "Take good care of your skin these days and make sure you make a stunning appearance in the cafeteria in the evening!"
Shi Xi: "Why, do you want to market me as a beautiful person?"
"My little Buddha, this doesn't need any marketing. You are naturally beautiful," Lin Wenyi said, "I just want to piss off Wang Xinya. She will definitely cry and faint in the toilet when she sees you so pretty in the evening cafeteria, hahaha!"
Shi Xi: “…”
After Shi Xi hung up the phone, he heard Zhang Qingyu's cheer: "Let's go to the farm and pick tomatoes!"
Lin Ying also smiled: "Not bad, we can go watch the sunset."
Zhuang Mei didn't know what variety show was going to be in the cafeteria that evening, but she was happy for Shi Xi: "Your friend mentioned this variety show last night, I didn't expect to get what I wanted so soon, it's a good thing. I decided to take on the job of your agent and urge you to take good care of your skin every day."
It is indeed a good opportunity. Shi Xi has never been on a food and farming variety show, so he is quite looking forward to it.
There is an early show tomorrow, so Shi Xi goes to bed early at Zhuang Mei's urging.
Unexpectedly, when she woke up, she discovered something incredible——
She grew her hair!!
Shi Xi looked at himself in the mirror with thick long hair and actually felt a little bit uncomfortable.
Before he knew it, the baldness punishment was over, and Shi Xi felt like the curse had been lifted.
She stroked her hair and sighed, "Only when you lose something do you know how to cherish it. From now on, I will take good care of every strand of hair..."
"Xiao Xiao, don't be happy yet," Teacher Zhuang reminded her reluctantly, "You haven't finished filming the Buddhist costume scene yet."
a bolt from the blue!
Shi Xi asked the system with tears in her eyes: "Can I apply for a postponement of the punishment?"
System: [I've never heard of such a request, but since you asked, I will certainly satisfy you. Since you performed very well, I can let you switch between two hairstyles freely, so you don't have to wear a wig on variety shows.]
After solving this "little trouble", Shi Xi went to film as usual. Today was a heavy day for her, and it was already dinner time when she finished. She and Tang Niannian were filming together almost all the time. After removing their makeup, they made an appointment to have dinner. They only had time to play with their phones on the way.
After not touching her phone for a day, Shi Xi finally saw Lin Wenyi's message. The director of the secret room variety show asked her to inquire about the progress of the pilot film, probably because he was afraid that they were too busy filming and would forget about it.
Shi Xi frowned. Didn't Jiaming send the video to the production team? According to his personality, he should have edited the video and sent it to them immediately after returning home.
Tang Niannian saw Shi Xi frowning and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The secret room variety show is urging us to produce a pilot." Shi Xi @Jia Ming in the group and asked him about the progress of the editing.
After a long time, he didn't reply.
Even Tang Niannian felt something was wrong: "Jiaming should be online at this time. He rarely fails to reply to messages."
Shi Xi called Jiaming directly.
The call was not answered for a long time. Just when Shi Xi thought the call was going to be automatically hung up, the waiting tone suddenly distorted, and a weird laugh came from the other end of the line.
Shi Xi glanced at the screen. The call was connected and the timer was ticking wildly. She pressed the speaker button and a piercing noise came out. She heard a strange female voice mixed in: "Are you his friend?"
Tang Niannian broke out in a cold sweat instantly. She opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by Shi Xi.
Obviously, the person Shi Xi was talking to was not a living person.
Shi Xi asked: "What did you do to him?"
The woman chuckled, her voice becoming even more blurred and distorted: "I didn't do anything to him. He was helping me choose my wedding dress for tonight. He seemed very happy."
"Beep——" After a burst of noise, the phone was hung up.
Tang Niannian was so scared that she grabbed Shi Xi's wrist, tears welling up in her eyes: "Jia Ming didn't come home last night, did he? Where is he now?"
"Ask." Shi Xi called Jia Ming again, but this time the call didn't go through.
Shi Xi pondered for a moment and opened Jiaming's live broadcast account, which had pinned a live broadcast preview not long ago.
[Preview: My wedding will be broadcast live tonight at 7:30. ]
Shi Xi: Jiaming, are you helping me to achieve my KPI for exorcism?
