Xiao He could only continue apologizing: "I'm sorry, director."
Hou Rongxuan sighed, his voice low and somber: "Sometimes I really wonder if you've been hiding a few lives from us."
Desire? Sorry, not at all, it's all the desire of the knife-wielder.
Xiao He: "..."
"Forget it, let's stop here for now. I'll find another way." Hou Rongxuan waved his hand helplessly.
Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief.
So in the days that followed, Xiao He continued to film the slaughterhouse scenes with the crew.
To Hou Rongxuan's satisfaction, Xiao He's performance in the other scenes was also very good. He was able to portray the cold-bloodedness and cruelty required to be done in almost one take, so Hou Rongxuan didn't have to worry about him at all.
Xiao He was quite satisfied. The third brother's character did almost nothing decent every day. He was always bullying classmates at school, threatening and intimidating his family's slaughterhouse competitors, and also engaging in voyeurism and robbing the weak... Although these were very fragmented scenes, and might not even be edited into the final release, they were still different forms of criminal behavior that could earn him points.
Although only the scenes performed with the director's approval can earn points, and other repeated performances of criminal acts cannot, Xiao He is now able to earn a small share of points every day, and his life is becoming more and more "interesting".
Meanwhile, due to Xiao He's outstanding performance, several actors who frequently acted with him showed him friendliness and closeness. Li Hanyue even lent Xiao He her notes from her university acting studies, while Liu Zehang, driven crazy by repeated takes, privately asked Xiao He for advice on how to unleash his murderous aura.
Xiao He, who passively released his killing intent, said, "Uh... would you believe me if I said this was a talent?"
Liu Zehang's face was full of disbelief: "Heh, what do you think?"
Xiao He shrugged: "Then there's nothing I can do."
Ask him, and he really can't teach you anything!
...
During the filming period, Xiao He also secretly observed the man named Li Zhicheng.
The other party is really suspicious!
Normally, he works like an old ox, burying himself in his work, diligent and capable. He always has a smiling, kind-hearted demeanor towards others. However, according to Xiao He's observation, among all the people Li Zhicheng has interacted with, he is the most enthusiastic towards Li Hanyue.
He usually chats with Li Hanyue when delivering water, and when he's not working, he watches Li Hanyue film. But if you really think there's something wrong with him, Li Hanyue herself probably doesn't even realize anything is amiss.
After all, among the entire crew, only Xiao He would continuously observe Li Zhicheng's position and performance; everyone else was busy with their own things, so who would care about an ordinary staff member?
If it weren't for the reminder from the passive skill, Xiao He probably wouldn't have gone to keep an eye on Li Zhicheng with the answer in mind.
But here's the problem: how can I make this answer public without implicating myself?
-
"Teacher Li, your package arrived at this door. I just saw it and brought it over for you—"
As Li Zhicheng spoke, he placed Li Hanyue's package on the table.
Li Hanyue was a little surprised, then awkwardly thanked him: "Oh dear, I forgot to change the address when I chose it, how did it end up here—thank you, Uncle Li."
Li Zhicheng looked at Li Hanyue, his lips twitching as if he was about to say something, when Xiao He immediately spun his wheeled chair and slid to Li Hanyue's side: "Teacher Li, could you please help me figure out how to act out this script later—"
"Huh? Okay—"
The conversation between the two instantly interrupted the topic that Li Zhicheng was about to start.
But Xiao He, as if courting death, looked up and glanced sideways at Li Zhicheng: "Uncle Li, is there anything else?"
Li Zhicheng stared coldly at Xiao He, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists. Then, pretending nothing was wrong, he shook his head with a smile and silently turned to leave.
