Wen Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she realized that Rong Jing might have also heard about the recent disappearances in the film and television city and was asking her to be careful.
Wow, he looks so cold but actually he is so gentle, she really did not fall in love with the wrong person!
Yes, Wen Xiaoxiao was already a half-fan of Rong Jing before, and now that she realized that Rong Jing was still so gentle in character, she immediately announced that she had become Rong Jing's only fan!
——Speaking of which, what fan name should the fans of the main character nicknamed Tianshi be given?
Wen Xiaoxiao's mind was running wild, but Mu Yunzhou quickly realized something after listening to her. He looked up and exchanged a glance with Rong Jing, but seeing that the other person still had that indifferent expression, he retracted his gaze and decided to ask the stage manager and his assistant to pay more attention to the girl's whereabouts in the next few days.
Rong Jing just gave a reminder. Seeing that Mu Yunzhou seemed to have remembered it, he didn't say anything more.
He went to get a coat and put it on. Rong Jing held the thermos cup in both hands, blew away the hot air, and lowered his head to take a sip of the hot water.
Mu Yunzhou didn't come here just to watch Rong Jing filming this time, but the crew of "Who is the Third Person" happened to need a guest role. Mu Yunzhou had worked with the director before, and the filming workload was not heavy since he had just joined the crew, so he came here as a special guest actor to participate in the filming.
However, this role did not have many scenes, and it only took three to five days to shoot.
These past few days, Wen Xiaoxiao has been following Mu Yunzhou to the crew of "Who is the Third Person" to watch Rong Jing filming.
She had been wondering how TV dramas were filmed, but now she understood. There were seven or eight cameras everywhere, and if one shot was wrong, they had to start over.
Rong Jing didn't have many retakes, but they were quite a few. There were some scenes that Wen Xiaoxiao felt she had performed well, but she still had to do it again in the end.
And Rong Jing never resisted and repeated it again and again, doing better each time.
"Who is the Third Person? Scene 78, shot 3, begins!"
As the voice of the stage manager fell, the set suddenly became quiet.
The leather shoes made a light "click" sound as they stepped on the ground, and the person's pace was neither fast nor slow.
The actor lying on the ground in special effects makeup opened his eyes wide when he heard the sound, and forced out a few hoarse cries for help from his throat.
As if noticing the noise he made, the footsteps stopped.
The man who was stabbed several times had excitement in his eyes.
However, the footsteps continued to be heard, and the man who came had a gentle and handsome face and a warm smile on his face. Even when he saw the extras covered in blood - or the victim, the smile on his face did not fluctuate at all.
No, there are changes.
A gentle and soft smile slowly expanded on her lips, and her amber eyes, as full of spring water, were filled with interest - as if she had seen an interesting toy, or as if she saw the long-awaited prey finally fall into the net.
So happy... so excited.
The actor was lying on the floor. Even though he knew that this scene was actually acted out by Rong Jing and there were more than one staff member standing around him, he still felt a genuine feeling of fear and despair.
Who would smile so happily when seeing someone who is almost a corpse?
Rong Jing - no, Ning Chen now looks like a devil in the skin of an angel. His appearance seduces others to trust him unconsciously, but his heart is a crazy and bloodthirsty existence.
But he had been restraining his desire before, but when he saw this familiar hateful face that he had sketched more than a hundred and a thousand times, he finally couldn't control himself and took out the scalpel that had always been by his side and bent down gently.
Perhaps it was because the veteran actor who played the victim was really good at acting, Rong Jing quickly found his form in this scene.
It seemed like many images flashed through my mind, but it also seemed like I didn’t think of anything.
His fingertips finally touched the other person's dry and loose skin, and Rong Jing recalled the time when he felt a similar touch before.
The old woman's body had already begun to rot, but she still stared at Rong Jing with her eyes wide open, hoping that he would save her.
——What did he do at that time?
Master Rong's eyes were rarely dazed for a moment.
He seemed to be just like he was now, looking down on her and ruthlessly cutting her neck with a sharp knife.
It ended her extremely painful but tenacious life.
To this day, Rong Jing still doesn't know whether his choice at that time was correct. He sent the old woman's soul to reincarnation and chose a smooth but ordinary fate for her.
He thought it was for the old woman's own good, but what if she still wanted to live?
After being distracted for a moment, Rong Jing came to his senses and found that the specially made scalpel had already fallen on the victim's neck, leaving a deep indentation on it.
A stream of blood suddenly gushed out of the special blood bag, staining Ning Chen's snow-white gloves red.
The director continued to watch in silence.
Just now, he actually noticed that the emotions expressed by Rong Jing were slightly different from Ning Chen in the script, but strangely, Rong Jing's performance did not feel out of place.
He was hesitant, yet he was decisive.
Hesitation is the struggle of human nature, but decisiveness is his innate ruthlessness and hatred.
A more contradictory conflict than what was written in the script was concentrated on Ning Chen, played by Rong Jing just now, pushing the atmosphere of this scene to a climax.
Wen Xiaoxiao, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
She was standing neither too close nor too far away, just enough to see the changes in Rong Jing's expression and eyes.
Even though there were cameras and staff around, Wen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be shocked by Rong Jing's performance.
There is obviously no dialogue in the middle, but the change in the atmosphere between the two people, the gradual revealing of Rong Jing's true face, and the subtle struggle and excitement when he took action...
This is a contradictory murderer. He is the "third person" in the whole case, a person who has an inextricable connection with the victim but has never made it clear, and who has always been a provocation to the police.
Wen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be curious, what on earth had Rong Jing - no, this Ning Chen experienced to develop such a contradictory personality?
His serious attitude towards the cases did not seem to be fake, but when he used the scalpel on a living person, he never seemed to regret it.
"Cut!" After a scene was over, the director finally shouted "Cut".
Rong Jing closed his eyes, then slowly stood up from the ground.
The veteran actor who played the victim also slowly raised his arms. Rong Jing lowered his eyes and reached out to help him.
The old actor was stunned for a moment before he passed his hand over: "Hiss, I was so distracted that I almost thought that Medical Examiner Ning Chen felt that I wasn't dead enough and wanted to give me another stab."
His words made the staff present couldn't help laughing. Rong Jing also smiled slightly, then shook his head.
"But Mr. Rong's acting skills have improved faster than I expected." After laughing, the veteran actor said seriously.
Everyone has some idea of Master Rong Jing's identity, but it's not convenient to call him Master Rong all the time on the set, so everyone just accepts the title of Teacher Rong.
"Although what I said just now was a joke, it's true that I didn't get out of the role. Teacher Rong's eyes just now really brought me into the play." In the past, only veteran actors could bring people into the play, but it was nothing like what happened just now. He was forcibly captured by Rong Jing's eyes.
The director had always felt that Master Rong Tian’s perception of the character’s emotions was not good enough, but judging from the shot just taken, it was not inadequate at all, it was simply perfect and comfortable!
Of course, the veteran actor has experienced such situations before and knows that Rong Jing’s state can only be achieved by chance. But since he can achieve it now, he may be able to achieve it all the time in the future when he has mastered the skills.
After sighing in his heart, the veteran actor couldn't help but praise Rong Jing again.
The words of praise that Master Rong had received before were much more corny and flattering than the ones that people say now, but he is now a newcomer in this industry, and he still feels happy that someone is willing to encourage him.
His brows relaxed slightly, Rong Jing lowered his eyes and said, "Teacher Xu, you are too kind."
Teacher Xu said no, no, and added in his mind: It's just that sometimes the way you speak is so flowery that it makes people feel like they are a little uncultured...
After chatting and laughing for a while, the director reviewed the previous segment several times, praised Rong Jing for his good acting skills, and then let them rest for a while.
"...I heard that people started disappearing in the movie studio next door. I don't know what's going on. It's not peaceful right after the New Year." The veteran actor was not in good health to begin with, so naturally he took a rest and waited for the next show.
There was no point in just sitting there, so he started talking about the "missing extras case" that had been making a lot of noise recently.
In fact, as the police investigated further, they found that the missing people were no longer limited to extras in the film and television studio.
Some students from many nearby universities have also been missing for a long time, but because the internal management of the universities is relatively free, not many people have noticed it.
Rong Jing thought of the hexagram he had calculated before, frowned slightly, took out his phone and opened WeChat.
A few days ago, the special department took over this serial disappearance case directly. Zhou Songyun has been very busy recently. On the one hand, he has been contacting the cooperating Taoist priests, and on the other hand, he has been trying to find the missing persons and suspects through modern investigative methods.
But this case itself is full of weirdness. For example, there are many cameras in the film and television city, but when these missing persons disappeared, no camera recorded their figures.
For example, everyone who entered the film and television city during this period had to register their identity with the police, but when someone went missing, no one had the time to commit the crime.
So how did these missing people leave?
Zhou Songyun actually wanted to ask Rong Jing for help, but if they could ask Rong Jing for help this time, would they have to ask Rong Jing for help if they encountered other problems in the future?
So on WeChat, he only told Rong Jing about the doubts and progress in the current investigation of the case, but did not ask Rong Jing for help.
But Rong Jing still told him that the missing persons were still safe for the time being. The hexagram indicated that they were hidden in a mountain shaped like a treasure cover.
As for the direction, it is due east.
It’s not that Rong Jing couldn’t make a deeper calculation, but he vaguely felt that the cause and effect of this matter was a little vague with him, so he didn’t dare to act rashly, otherwise the hexagram would be messed up, which would delay the missing persons.
But the information he provided had already helped Zhou Songyun a lot.
Rong Jing was not very interested in the bonus promise he made. He frowned and exited the chat page.
He has been filming intensively during this period and can only glance at his phone during breaks.
After exiting the chat page with Zhou Songyun, Rong Jing lowered his eyes and saw that Xie Xuanqing had also sent him several messages.
When I clicked on it, I saw some photos of chicken soup.
Rong Jing: “……?”
After a moment of confusion, Rong Jing noticed a few pieces of abalone and scallops at the bottom of the bowl, and then he reacted.
Rong Jing:.
Rong Jing: Is it delicious?
Xie Xuanqing: Well, it tastes good. Thank you for your generosity ^-^
The other party replied very quickly. Rong Jing glanced at the message sent by Xie Xuanqing, then pointed his finger and replied lightly.
Rong Jing: Yeah.
Xie Xuanqing didn't mind his cold attitude.
With a smile flashing across his lips, Xie Xuan made a gentle gesture to Yue Feng who pushed the door open, and then sent a message to Rong Jing and asked.
Xie Xuanqing: Mr. Rong, how are you doing on the set these days? I heard that things seem to be going badly at the film and television city recently.
Xie Xuanqing already had a friendship with Zhou Songyun, and with the Xie Group's natural network of interests, he could not hide the frequent disappearances at the film and television city from him.
Rong Jing was not surprised how the other party knew it, and he casually replied "Not bad", and then couldn't help but frowned slightly.
The current situation in the film and television base is indeed relatively good, and judging from the hexagrams, the conditions of those missing people are also relatively stable.
But this matter involves many lives. No one knows when the person behind the attack will continue to attack, or when he will harm the missing person.
After a moment of distraction, Rong Jing tapped the screen with his fingertips and accidentally sent out an emoticon of a cat licking its paw.
Xie Xuanqing looked at the kitten's expression that suddenly popped up on the screen, and his expression rarely changed.
Then, he seemed to have sensed Rong Jing's thoughts and said seriously.
Xie Xuanqing: ...Mr. Rong, do you intend to take action?
Xie Xuanqing: No matter what, sir, please put your own safety first before taking any action.
Like Zhou Songyun, after knowing each other for such a long time, Xie Xuanqing also knew that beneath Rong Jing's distant and indifferent appearance, there was probably a heart willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of justice.
But he still hoped that Rong Jing would consider himself a little more before deciding to face danger.
Rong Jing didn't know what to think for a moment when he saw the message. He felt a subtle bitterness in his heart, and a complicated feeling that he didn't know how to express.
Finally, he pursed his lips and replied.
Rong Jing: Yeah, I understand.
The “typing” button in the upper left corner flickered for a while. Rong Jing raised his eyebrows and saw Xie Xuanqing replying.
Xie Xuanqing: [Cat kiss gif]
Rong Jing: “…”
Wen Xiaoxiao stayed in the film and television city for nearly five days. Although she didn't have a lot of fun, she was in a very good mood because she met her favorite actors.
After howling to her friends on the bed about how handsome Rong Jing was, Wen Xiaoxiao smelled the aroma of the midnight snack outside and smacked her lips.
I'm a bit greedy.
Unfortunately, her cousin refused to let her go out no matter what. In addition, Wen Xiaoxiao had heard a lot of rumors and speculations about the disappearance cases in the film and television city during this period. She was a little scared, so she gave up the idea of going out for supper and instead opened the food delivery app to watch.
"This is good. Order another one of this." Wen Xiaoxiao chose the midnight snack she wanted, thought about it, and added a cup of milk tea.
She didn't fill in the room number of her hotel room directly, but was careful and filled in the address at the front desk.
After a while, the takeaway arrived.
Wen Xiaoxiao told her cousin that she was going downstairs to get takeout. Her cousin happened to be called to work overtime today. When he received the call, he walked aside and asked Wen Xiaoxiao to watch him through video all the way.
It's not his fault that he is so vigilant. The recent disappearance case is really mysterious and terrifying. Since my cousin has brought Wen Xiaoxiao away from home, he naturally has to ensure Wen Xiaoxiao's safety.
"Okay, okay, I'll show you."
Wen Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, opened WeChat, and then made a video call to her cousin.
The cousin watched Wen Xiaoxiao take the takeaway and then go back to her room obediently, and he finally felt relieved.
Wen Xiaoxiao: "Don't worry, cousin? I will definitely be obedient and not run around. That's it, I'll eat first."
After hanging up the video call, Wen Xiaoxiao looked at the delicious midnight snack in front of her and her appetite grew.
The barbecue was a little salty, so Wen Xiaoxiao opened the milk tea and took a sip.
…
At the beginning of the year, the night wind in Beijing was biting.
The girl, only wearing a thin nightgown, walked out of the room with her eyes half open, as if she couldn't feel the chill in the air. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she walked forward with alternating steps.
Her posture looked a little strange, with her hands raised unnaturally. From a distance, it looked like someone was supporting her as she walked forward.
"Ding." The elevator door opened, the girl walked in slowly, and took the elevator to the hotel lobby on the first floor.
The hotel front desk is staffed 24 hours a day. It is now past two in the morning, when the human body is most sleepy.
The girl in thin clothes continued to walk out.
The receptionist's eyes were a little sleepy, but thinking of the missing cases that had occurred in the film and television city during this period, she forced herself to stay alert and stared at the entrance and exit of the hotel.
“How did those missing people leave…” The receptionist muttered and vaguely saw the glass door of the hotel move.
But when he looked again carefully, he didn't see a single person.
A chill ran down my spine, and the receptionist stood up and walked over, carefully checking the room inside and out, but found nothing unusual.
"Am I dazzled?" The receptionist muttered to herself, then returned to the service counter and continued to look around.
And just as he was checking, the girl in floral pajamas happened to walk past him.
But for some reason... he couldn't see the other person at all.
"Da da da." It seemed like someone was holding my arm.
Wen Xiaoxiao could vaguely feel that something seemed wrong with her current situation, but after following the other person's movements and taking a few steps forward, her consciousness slowly sank into a gorgeous and misty dream. Her cheeks were stained with a beautiful blush, as if she was drunk, and she completely forgot herself.
“Woo—whoosh—”
The night wind howled in the air.
Wen Xiaoxiao walked out of the film and television city step by step and headed towards the east.
The next day, my cousin came back from overtime work.
After a nap, the cousin suddenly remembered that Wen Xiaoxiao didn't seem to reply to him much today. He frowned and opened WeChat to take a look. The chat history stopped at the message he sent to Wen Xiaoxiao when he came back in the morning, asking her what she wanted to eat.
Haven't you gotten up yet?
My cousin frowned, feeling inexplicably anxious.
After barely washing up, he went out and knocked on Wen Xiaoxiao's door: "Xiaoxiao? Are you awake? Did you read the WeChat message I sent you this morning? What do you want to eat for lunch today?"
I asked several times, but there was no sound in the room.
My cousin became more and more anxious, and knocked on the door harder and harder, until in the end, he was almost knocking it down.
The tenants next door had opened their doors with frowns on their brows because of the noise, but Wen Xiaoxiao still didn't make any noise.
It was as if... there was no one in the room at all.
"Sir, could you please control your emotions?" The tenant next door seemed to have noticed that my cousin was looking for someone, but he was woken up in the middle of the day after finally taking a rest, and his tone was not very good. "If you can't find the person, you can go to the front desk to ask, thank you."
——Front desk, yes, front desk!
My cousin remembered that the hotel front desk had 24-hour surveillance, so he took his ID card and went to the front desk to explain his purpose. My cousin quickly watched the surveillance video for that period of time. It seemed that Wen Xiaoxiao had not gone out since she went downstairs to get the takeaway.
Then why didn't she open the door and respond to me?
Receptionist: "Maybe he slept too deeply. Sometimes young people will be like this when they stay up too late."
No, that's not the case. My cousin shook his head and denied it instinctively.
"Excuse me, could you give me one of my sister's spare room cards so I can go up and check?" he asked.
The receptionist frowned in embarrassment.
Although these two guests are relatives, there is a difference between men and women. If they rashly hand over the spare room card of the female guest to the male guest, it will not have a good impact on their hotel if this matter gets out.
The cousin also saw his concerns and said: "You can send someone to go up with me."
"…I suspect something has happened to my cousin."
It was no small matter if something happened to a guest in their hotel. The front desk clerk's expression suddenly became serious. He called the manager, picked up the room card, and went upstairs with my cousin.
The snow-white bedding was piled messily on the bed, and an open suitcase with a few coats thrown on it was spread out on the floor.
My cousin looked through the box carefully and found that all the coats in the box were intact, but there was no one in the room.
In other words, it is very likely that Wen Xiaoxiao disappeared mysteriously in this room while she was sleeping.
...The disappearance case in the film and television city.
My cousin closed his eyes in despair, and the serial case that had been circulating in the crew during this period emerged in his mind.
"...I understand." Another missing case was reported. Zhou Songyun wrote down the specific information of the missing person, and then couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows.
Currently, the special department has dispatched a number of personnel to the east of Beijing City to search for the treasure-covered mountain mentioned in Rong Jing's hexagram, but because there are many mountains there, it is somewhat difficult to investigate.
But unexpectedly, another missing case occurred in just one day.
