Because of the interference of the ghost NPC in the first scene, the filmed content could not be used and had to be re-filmed.
"Since we have to reshoot, we have to solve the problems we found during the previous take," Director Song pondered for a moment and looked at Liu Ziyu: "Xiao Liu, you need to adjust your emotions and body language."
Liu Ziyu was still a little dazed: "Director Song, can you be more specific?"
"Okay," Director Song said quickly, "In this scene, the two residents didn't recognize you as Mr. Liu, so you have to act like a completely different evil ghost. You have to make sure the audience can't guess your true identity when they see you, so that the plot can be pushed forward. The shooting conditions are limited, so you can only rely on your acting skills to achieve this feeling."
"Director Song, I have never played this kind of role before. Do you think it's okay for me to change it into this?" Liu Ziyu lowered his head even lower, completely hiding his face.
Director Song shook his head: "Not enough, did you pay attention to the 'ghost' chasing you just now? You can imitate his body language."
Liu Ziyu raised his head and said with a bitter face: "I was just running at the time and took a quick look. I didn't remember the scary body language of the 'ghost', but I was deeply impressed by the terrified expression of the 'ghost' when I scared it."
"..." Director Song changed the direction and taught him: "The moment you scared the 'ghost' away, your emotional expression was really on point. It's good to be able to act out that feeling."
Liu Ziyu was even more bitter: "I can't remember."
He was also very scared at the time, his brain was completely shut down and he had no memory of anything.
Liu Ziyu tried several acting techniques, but he still couldn't convey the feeling Director Song wanted, and he gradually became anxious.
Qiao Qing was watching from the side, feeling a little anxious, because she felt that her acting skills were about the same as Liu Ziyu's. If Liu Ziyu couldn't reach her standards, then she would be in trouble too.
Qiao Qing bit her lower lip and suddenly had an idea: "Teacher Xiao, I remember you used your acting skills to stun the NPC in the escape room variety show. Can you show us how to do it?"
Lu Xiu now plays a photographer who can't act, and Ji Mingxu's acting skills are also average, so Qiao Qing can only ask Shi Xi for help.
"Teacher Shi doesn't have special effects makeup on, so it's even harder to meet Director Song's standards. Let's just forget it!" Liu Ziyu pleaded with Song Zhenbao anxiously, "Director Song, give me another take. I'm sure I can do better than last time!"
Even though Shi Xi displayed a high level of gaming skills that even scared the NPCs, Liu Ziyu still did not give up the opportunity to compete with her for a permanent position. Deep down, he did not want to admit or let anyone see that Shi Xi had the ability to teach him.
Director Song had her own considerations. She asked Shi Xi, "Xiao Shi, can you teach me?"
Shi Xi said in a light voice: "You can try."
"Then let's do it this way. Xiaoshi and Xiaoliu will swap roles, and we'll reshoot it and use it as a behind-the-scenes feature of the movie." Director Song looked at Liu Ziyu and told him, "Xiaoliu, it's fine as long as you and Xiaoji can recite the lines smoothly. If you can't remember the lines, just read the script. The key is to observe and learn Xiaoshi's acting method."
Liu Ziyu nodded stiffly. He didn't know why, but when he heard Shi Xi say "try it", he had a feeling that he was about to be punished.
Ji Mingxu and Liu Ziyu, who played the role of the residents, walked out of the study. The lights above their heads suddenly flickered. As the two talked, Liu Ziyu spotted Shi Xi standing in the shadows of the corridor.
Liu Ziyu asked in a trembling voice: "Is that Teacher Shi? What are you doing standing there?"
Shi Xi walked out of the shadows, her back hunched, her head lowered, most of her face hidden in the shadows, only her thin chin stained with blood showing. Her walking posture was light and erratic, and without saying a single line, she acted out the characteristics of a wandering ghost, her whole body emitting resentment that was out to take her life.
She suddenly stopped and raised her head without warning. Her sinister and cold-blooded eyes locked onto Ji Mingxu and Liu Ziyu through her messy black hair.
Ji Mingxu and Liu Ziyu suddenly felt as if their hearts were being tightly grasped by a big hand!
After Shi Xi showed the bloodstained kitchen knife, the two screamed at the same time, forgetting even their lines, and scrambled to flee to the living room.
Shi Xi was about to catch up when she suddenly noticed a camera behind her. As an actress, she was very sensitive to the camera and this intuition was rarely wrong.
Shi Xi turned around and saw a ragged ghost NPC carrying a camera - he was standing in the shadows and his face was not very clear, but his figure looked like the NPC who was filming them before.
This NPC didn't see the player scaring the "ghost" with his own eyes, so he was probably not convinced and wanted to come back to get revenge.
Shi Xi blinked and thought: Of course I have to give him enough face.
Shi Xi did not run. His slender shoulders trembled and he whimpered in fear, like a frightened little animal that was too scared to move. He looked weak, helpless and pitiful.
Shi Xi's face was against the light, and the ghost NPC couldn't see her appearance clearly. Seeing that she was so scared that she couldn't move, his dignity as the boss of the haunted house was instantly restored.
The ghost NPC put on his signature scary expression and walked towards Shi Xi with a camera in hand. The prey was already scared to the point of not daring to move. As the boss of the haunted house, he was determined to get the kill today and wash away the humiliation of being taken away by his colleagues before.
The ghost NPC came to Shi Xi and saw that she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. He was even more angry. He laughed sinisterly and stretched out his hand holding the seal of the final execution to Shi Xi's arm. He said in a deep voice: "I caught you... It's time for you to finalize the final execution!"
"Wuwuwu... I'm so scared..." Shi Xi hummed in her mouth, but her hand had already pinched the wrist of the ghost NPC. She slowly raised her head and the fear on her face turned into playfulness. Her eyebrows and eyes against the light were full of murderous intent, making her look more like a ghost than the NPC.
The man in the haunted house's heart skipped a beat, and when he came to his senses, there was another person in front of him.
Lu Xiu took the seal of completion from the haunted house boss and stamped him with his backhand: "You have completed the task."
The haunted house guy was stunned, and his first reaction was to find the camera and cry, "Director, do we have this kind of gameplay in this episode?"
After Ji Mingxu and Liu Ziyu found that Shi Xi and the photographer had not caught up with them, they ran back and saw Director Song holding a camera and filming Shi Xi and Lu Xiu bullying the NPC.
Liu Ziyu: "...Is this the correct way to open this variety show?"
Looking at the ghost NPC's back as he fled again, Ji Mingxu held his forehead and said, "No, believe me, this is not what the variety show director expected."
Qiao Qing, who had been observing and learning carefully, showed an admiring look: "Thanks to that NPC who just came out to seek death, Teacher Xiaoshi once again demonstrated how to act as an evil ghost. She acted more professionally than the NPC!"
Ji Mingxu touched the tip of his nose awkwardly: "When she was young, her acting skills were really great. When she raised her head and looked at me, I was really scared and instinctively wanted to run away."
Qiao Qing laughed and teased, "I can see that Teacher Ji was really scared. When Teacher Liu was playing the ghost, you knew to run with Teacher Shi according to the script. When it was Teacher Shi's turn to play the ghost, you ran faster than Teacher Liu, hahaha."
Ji Mingxu: “…” That’s indeed the case.
Liu Ziyu was also very embarrassed. He had previously said that Shi Xi would have a harder time meeting Director Song's standards without special effects makeup, but it turned out that he was able to perform without any special effects makeup and look completely different.
"There was a small incident, so we didn't finish filming the scene just now." Shi Xi handed the kitchen knife back to Liu Ziyu and asked, "Teacher Liu, have you learned it? Do you need me to perform it again?"
Liu Ziyu's heart tightened and he quickly said, "I've learned it, I've learned it. No need to demonstrate it again." Please, I really don't want to be scared again.
The first scene was filmed rather tortuously, but Shi Xi’s demonstration was very effective, and both Liu Ziyu and Ji Mingxu performed much better than the first time.
"Xiao Shi, your acting has inspired them all." Director Song was very satisfied and looked at Liu Ziyu again: "Look, letting Xiao Shi demonstrate is good for you, isn't this an improvement?"
Liu Ziyu nodded and thanked Shi Xi with a red face. Apart from anything else, he had to admire Shi Xi's acting skills.
Director Song: "Very good, everyone keep this feeling, and we will go straight to the next scene."
The second scene takes place in the utility room on the first floor.
When they arrived at the utility room, Director Song looked at the scene and said to them, "This scene is about Xiaoshi and Xiaoji hiding in an old wardrobe in the utility room. The evil ghost is wandering outside the door and finally enters the utility room."
"Xiaolu, go see if you can install a camera in the closet."
"Okay." Lu Xiu went to see the wardrobe, and Shi Xi and Ji Mingxu followed him. They mainly wanted to see what the internal structure of the wardrobe was like.
The door of the wardrobe is a louvered model, and you can vaguely see that it is full of old clothes.
Lu Xiu opened the cabinet door, and his ankle was suddenly grabbed by a hand! He looked down and saw a pale hand grabbing his ankle, leaving messy bloodstains on his trouser legs.
Lu Xiu stepped back, but did not let go of the hand. Ji Mingxu suddenly saw the ghost hand sticking out of the closet and exclaimed: "Teacher Shi, our photographer is about to be captured by the closet ghost!"
The ghost NPC in the closet: “…” Why is this sentence so weird?
Never mind, just crawl out and scare them!
The ghost NPC was about to appear in the most terrifying way, and just as he stretched his limbs, a hand rested on his back.
The hand was cold and hard, as if it had just been taken out of the refrigerator, and it made him shiver all over.
Is there another colleague in the closet? No, he is the only one here... Then what is this hand...
This house is so weird, could there really be a ghost?
The more the ghost NPC thought about it, the more panicked he became. He gritted his teeth and wanted to rush out in one breath.
The hand on the back moved upwards and grasped the fragile neck. The ghost NPC felt a cold air approaching him, and a hoarse and cold voice sounded in his ears: "Where do you want to go?"
There really is a ghost! ! The ghost NPC opened his mouth and wanted to shout for help, but found that he couldn't make a sound! It's over! !
Ji Mingxu tilted his head: "What's wrong with this NPC? Is holding the player's ankle and not moving it a scary new trick?"
Just as he finished speaking, another hand reached out from the closet tremblingly and wrote a few bloody letters on the ground.
Shi Xi took a look and saw that it said SOS.
