Daytime Horror
Ding Can didn't care. She was happy to have some peace and quiet. It was also a good opportunity for her to spend more time with Shi Yan and they could discuss anything with each other.
Not every room in the villa is used as a filming set. The tatami room on the first floor was temporarily converted into a dressing room and rest room for the actors.
While Ding Can was still looking around, the assistant director on patrol discovered him. The assistant director was a strong young man with a young face, but he had a full beard on his chin, which looked very inconsistent.
He said that his beard grew so fast that he didn't have time to shave it, so he just let it grow, and that's how it looks now.
He said impatiently, "Which group are you from? Why are you still wandering around in the living room?"
"I'm Ding Can, who's in charge of costumes and makeup."
The assistant director searched his memory for a few seconds, not knowing if he had remembered it at all: "Oh, then why don't you go and touch up the lead actor's makeup quickly so as not to delay the start of filming."
"I was carsick just now and feel a little dizzy now. I want to find the landlord to ask if there is any medicine I can take." Ding Can made up an excuse and rubbed his temples, looking unhappy.
She wanted to find out more about the villa.
"The owner of the house isn't here," the assistant director urged even more urgently. "They rented the house to us, so they must have given it up. The crew has brought their first aid kit. Go to the dressing room first, and I'll have someone bring it to you later."
Ding Can smiled and said, "Thank you, director."
"Go away." The assistant director waved his hand impatiently.
Ding Can then entered the dressing room. The first person he saw was Shi Yan, who had a wall to herself. He took two steps inside and saw three ghost extras sitting in a row in front of the makeup mirror, which he had not seen out of the corner of his eye just now.
As the director said, they had already put on their makeup on their own accord.
The first one was a young female ghost in white. The quality of her wig looked good, hanging down to her waist like silk. The light in the room was average, and it looked very shiny.
She was wearing a long white dress, and the faint red ink seeping through the lining of the dress looked like dried blood.
It's just that the powder on her face is too white, covering most of the eyebrow shape. It seems that she has no eyebrows at first glance. The purple scar makeup on her mouth also lacks beauty. It makes my mouth corner hurt every time I look at it.
The second one is a middle-aged male ghost. He has no sense of beauty at all. Half of his head is made up like a reverse model, and he looks like he has been in a car accident and half of his head has been scraped off.
The eyeballs on that half of the head were also made into a chaotic and dim yellow color with glue. If you look closely, it seems that they are still oozing pus.
No wonder the director said they came here with makeup on. This kind of makeup would take at least four or five hours to put on, and it would be too late to put it on here.
The last person was shorter and was blocked by the two people in front. Ding Can turned around and saw clearly that it was a child extra. He was wearing a dark red jacket, a melon-shaped hat on his head, and a braided whip hanging down.
Her face was rosier, a very common funeral makeup, but it was the most normal look among them.
It’s just that nowadays online movies are so imaginative. The first two ghosts can barely be said to be from the same era, and the last little doll doesn’t even belong to the modern era.
Moreover, there should be protection regulations for minors filming, and they cannot exceed a certain time each day. It must be very difficult for such a young child to follow along.
Perhaps noticing Ding Can's gaze, the little boy also looked over and smiled at her friendly. Because his face was made up too white, his teeth looked a little yellow.
Ding Can felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he went over to greet him: "Little friend, where are the adults at home? Why aren't they with you?"
"Here they are." The little boy pointed at the two people beside him.
Ding Can didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see the man’s body shrug, and finally the man spoke.
"We are a family. We took advantage of the children's vacation to come out and experience life."
It turned out to be a family of three with their child experiencing this kind of life. This was the first time she had seen it.
"Big brother, why are your hands shaking?" Ding Can saw that the man's hands on his knees were shaking.
"I'm cold. The clothes assigned to me are too thin. Look, they are all wearing long shirts and long pants." The man said, looking around for a while, then hugged himself again.
The air conditioner here was really low, and Ding Can felt a little cold. He couldn't help but rub his arms and asked the little boy, "What's your name? Are you cold?"
"My name is Fu..."
"His nickname is Fugui, thinking that this will bring more wealth to the family, right, Fugui?" The woman rubbed the child's melon-shaped hat a few times.
Fugui impatiently dodged to the side: "Don't touch my head."
The woman laughed awkwardly and said, "Don't mind. The child is a little rebellious."
"It's okay." Ding Can smiled and turned back to find Shi Yan.
During the time they were chatting, Shi Yan had already changed her clothes. She put the makeup photo she had taken in advance on the mirror. She took out the makeup tools and put them in a row, and began to change her makeup according to the photo.
"Those three are quite strange."
After a while, the extras were called out to move around, and Shi Yan finally spoke.
"What's strange about it?" Ding Can carefully covered the dark circles under Shi Yan's eyes.
"I didn't see them when I got off the car. They weren't in our convoy. They were already in the room when I entered."
When Shi Yan followed the assistant in, a very small light was turned on in the room. The assistant was timid and was almost scared. The man stood up and explained for a long time. Later, the director came over and he calmed down a little.
"The director just told me that he came here early to do the special effects makeup, so he should be here earlier than us."
Shi Yan recalled what had just happened: "I just felt that the attitude of those two parents towards their children was very different from what I had seen before."
Many parents today dote on their children, holding them in their hands for fear of them melting, and giving in to their children in everything. However, they are a little...
How to describe it? It seems like the child is being pampered too much. He seems to obey whatever the child says.
Ding Can had just noticed this and felt that their family relationship was not normal. Not only the children, but even the couple did not look like a couple.
"Just keep an eye on it for now. I wonder if anything strange will happen. By the way, let me see the script." Ding Can was still curious about the story line.
Shi Yan took out the script from her bag and handed it over. The script was not very thick and she finished reading it in a short time. In the end, she could only say "awesome" to describe it.
The development of the plot can't be called abrupt, it's even more rugged than the Grand Canyon.
The protagonist of the story, Xiaomei, is the character played by Shi Yan.
Xiaomei is the illegitimate daughter of a billionaire who was stranded away from home. Before his death, the billionaire left a will to leave his most valuable property, a skyscraper with the most expensive land in the city center, to his daughter in order to make amends.
The rich man is extremely wealthy, and even this building is nothing compared to his huge wealth.
But his wife and children, although they received more, were still dissatisfied with the distribution and wanted to take revenge.
They switched the original skyscraper's address into a small villa.
The villa was "carefully selected" by them. Many murders have occurred here over the years, and the owner has been unable to sell it. It is rumored that there are ghosts living in the house, and any living person who enters will have their yang energy sucked away immediately.
They bought the villa at a very low price, not only for the inheritance, but also to get rid of the roots.
Xiaomei didn't know the details, she only knew that her rich father died and left her a villa, so she happily came to claim the house according to the address on the property certificate.
She called her good friends Xiaoshuai and Xiaoli to come over.
The three people from an ordinary small town were pleasantly surprised when they arrived at the door of the villa. They had never seen such a big house before, and they looked forward to a wonderful life here in the future.
But before they entered the villa, something strange happened. When Xiaomei pushed the door open, she was almost hit by the iron door because it had been in disrepair for a long time.
He managed to dodge it by chance, but was still scratched on his arm by an iron nail protruding from the wall, right at the wrist, and it looked so hideous that it looked like he had committed suicide by cutting his wrists.
She already had a premonition, but at the instigation of Xiaoshuai and Xiaoli, the three of them moved in anyway. Unable to afford a housekeeper, they decided to clean the villa themselves.
The villa was haunted that night. Xiaomei was led by the ghost and discovered several corpses hidden inside the villa.
Xiao Shuai and Xiao Li, who were traveling with them, also lost contact after the police arrived. Xiao Mei called them again and learned that the two had never come with her.
I didn’t know whether the person who accompanied her before was a human or a ghost.
But in the end, the missing case from many years ago was solved, and Xiaomei was awarded the title of good citizen by the police. The rich man was not really dead, but it was a deliberate act because he noticed that his current wife was cheating on him.
In the end, Xiaomei was so frightened that her mental state was affected and she became as mentally retarded as a child of a few years old. She was taken back to her father and lived a peaceful life.
In fact, there was a child's body buried deep in the villa, which had not been discovered yet. It followed her to her new home.
The last scene reads: Xiaomei in the mirror gradually reveals the boy's face, and his smile is exactly the same.
"It seems to be telling something, but it's telling nothing. Fortunately, this kind of movie can't be shown on the screen." Ding Can put the script down and heard someone outside urging that the filming would start in half an hour.
After fixing Shi Yan's hairstyle and finishing the makeup of actors Xiao Shuai and Xiao Li, Ding Can started wandering around the villa again.
She found Gao Wenwen next to a sack. Most of his body was in the bag, and no one knew what he was looking for.
"What are you doing, Xiao Gao?"
Gao Wenwen finally poked his head out and said, "The lead actor's flashlight is out of battery. I'm looking for batteries right now. The director has urged me several times."
It turns out that being a Dao Ge is not easy. He has only been here for a short time, but he is already so busy that he has no time to rest.
"Let me help you look for it. The thing is too small and might be covered up." Ding Can squatted down and the two of them dug through the sack together.
Gao Wenwen lowered his voice and said, "I was just here arranging the props and I noticed something was wrong with the director."
"Isn't he always bossing others around? I think he's really not normal."
Ding Can thought of the director's expression and spoke bluntly.
Gao Wenwen shook his head, acting in an unfathomable manner: "No, I think the director is having an affair with that female ghost."
