Chapter 126: Royal Sisters Are Afraid of Ghosts Too
"Knock, knock, knock."
Several dull knocks on the door woke up Song Zhi from her deep sleep.
She opened her eyes, her mind still hazy and tired after staying up late. She took the phone beside her and took a look. It was more than seven in the morning.
The knock on the door sounded again. She rubbed her dry eyes, sat up, climbed out of bed, and slowly walked towards the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Wang Ou."
Song Zhi opened the door and Wang Ou was standing at the door. Although she was not wearing any makeup early in the morning, she still revealed a mature and bright temperament.
"Good morning, Sister Ou."
"Good morning. I saw that you didn't go to breakfast. I guess you didn't get up." Wang Ou smiled warmly, looked at Song Zhi's dark circles and dazed spirit, and asked curiously: "What's the matter? Did your group stay up late last night?"
Just like when Meng Bai was filming "Psychological Crime", "The Pretender" was divided into A and B groups for simultaneous filming because of its "double-line story".
Although they are in the same crew, the roles of Wang Ou and Song Zhi belong to two different story lines. In the plot, they only met once in the middle and late stages, and they were basically in two different places during filming.
Originally, the two of them had no intersection, but because there were not many girls in the group, and even fewer of similar age, and Wang Ou's intention to make friends, they gradually became familiar with each other.
"No, it was almost over at ten o'clock last night." Song Zhi let him into the house and explained, "I watched the drama last night and watched it for a while longer."
Wang Ou smiled and said, "What drama is so good? Recommend it to me."
"It's Meng Bai... Teacher Meng's new drama. Didn't it start yesterday?" Song Zhi said, "I finished watching the updated one."
Wang Ou was stunned. Yes, he had thought about this before, but he forgot it because he was too busy filming.
However, on the first day of the broadcast, at most three or four episodes can be updated. Even according to the length of the TV series, it is only two hours.
But looking at Song Zhi's state, it seems more like he went to bed at dawn.
"Well, actually it's not that long, but--" Song Zhi said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't dare to turn off the lights after watching it, so I lay down for a long time before falling asleep."
"Is it that scary?" Wang Ou said in surprise.
She hadn't watched many online dramas before, and she saw the name "Soul Ferry" when she was learning about Meng Bai's information.
"I can't say it's very scary, but I just feel a little creepy after watching it." Song Zhi stroked his hair, "Especially the third episode, which is a hotel similar to our room. After watching it, when I turned off the lights, I always felt that this room was very lively..."
"Okay." Wang Ou interrupted Song Zhi, "You don't have to describe it in such detail."
What's wrong with Yu Jie? Yu Jie is also afraid of ghosts!
Seeing that Wang Ou didn't want to imagine, Song Zhi smiled sweetly, approached her and said, "Sister Ou, is it convenient for me to sleep at your place for two nights?"
"Are you so scared?" Wang Ou smiled, and then said generously, "Okay, then I'll let my assistant take your place, and we'll sleep together tonight, and we can chat."
"Ah, thank you, Sister Ou!" Song Zhi cheered, and reached out to hug her to express his gratitude.
Because the makeup and styling of the role of "Wang Manchun" are more complicated, Wang Ou has to go to the set first.
Arriving at the Hanyuan Xiaobailou set, this is not only the location of the "Ming Mansion" in the play, but also the location of the interior of "No. 76".
Arriving at the lounge, the makeup artist of the crew began to put on makeup, and she took this time to search for "Soul Ferry" on her mobile phone.
The first one that popped up was the playback link of Leshi.com. Wang Ou clicked it, but didn't rush to play it directly, but first looked at the data-the playback volume was more than 20 million, and there were more than 40,000 people online at the same time.
Because she doesn't pay much attention to online dramas, she is not quite sure what the normal number of views for an online drama should be.
But she still remembered the data released by the popular "Gu Jian Qi Tan" last year when it issued a press release on its performance, and the highest number of views on a single online platform was 1 billion.
The broadcast period of that drama was two months, which means that the number of views per day was about 16 million.
Although TV dramas cannot be directly compared with online dramas, after all, they have to be broadcast on TV first and then on the Internet, and they are broadcast on multiple platforms. But what is the lineup and investment scale of the online drama, and what is the lineup and scale of the online drama.
So even if it is just such a rough comparison, you can probably imagine what level the performance of "Soul Ferry 2" is in.
Wang Ou was surprised, it turns out that the popularity of online dramas is so high now!
"Hey, Sister Ou, are you also watching "Pendulum"? "The makeup artist girl glanced at her mobile phone screen inadvertently and asked excitedly.
"Oh, isn't this our screenwriter's new drama? Check it out." Wang Ou asked, "Are you following it too?"
"Yes, I've been watching it since the first season." The makeup artist girl was very excited and didn't stop moving her hands. "I strongly recommend you to watch the second episode of the new season. The plot is really amazing!"
"Really?" Wang Ou smiled, "But I haven't watched the first season. I'm afraid I can't figure out the relationship between the characters, the main plot, etc."
"It's okay. Except for the three protagonists, the rest of the plot is not very related to the first season. And this is a unit drama, so it doesn't matter if you skip it."
"Okay, since you recommend it so much, I'll take the time to watch it." Wang Ou said, "I'll talk to Teacher Meng when he comes back. I have to thank you for your recommendation."
"Really, Sister Ou!" The makeup artist girl said in surprise, "Then can you ask Teacher Meng Bai for me if I can get the male lead's autograph?"
"Okay, I'll definitely help you pass it on."
Wang Ou didn't have many scenes to shoot today, so he finished work early in the afternoon. He asked Song Zhi on WeChat and learned that she might have to shoot until the evening, so he said he would go back first.
After returning to the actor's apartment, she tidied up the room roughly, after all, there were outsiders coming. After tidying up, she sat down at the table and opened the first episode of "Soul Ferry 2".
While waiting for the commercials, she took another look at the number of views. It had only been a day, and it had risen to 29 million.
Just like what the makeup artist said, although she had not watched the previous one, after watching the first episode, she had a general idea of who the male and female protagonists were and the relationship between them.
But what she didn't expect the most was that the male protagonist died right at the beginning.
Wang Ou sighed, it's true, the rhythm and plot of this web drama are much faster than traditional TV dramas.
As for the scary shots, she thought it was okay, not as scary as Song Zhi described. But it may also be because the crew took care of the audience's emotions and did not set up too many scary shots at the beginning.
After the first episode ended, Wang Ou was relaxed and clicked on the second episode, which was the episode that the makeup artist girl strongly recommended to her in the morning.
The atmosphere of this episode is obviously much gloomier than the previous one, especially after seeing the plot in the mental hospital in the first half. Although it was not too dark, she still went to turn on the light.
After returning, she hesitated in front of the table, took the pad back to the bed, and wrapped herself up with the quilt.
After making preparations, she clicked to continue playing.
In the plot, the male protagonist pushed open the door of a ward in the mental hospital, but found that he had traveled to a Japanese military hospital in the Republic of China period.
Looking at the weird atmosphere of rows of invaders sitting in the audience and appreciating the opera performance, Wang Ou took a deep breath and prepared to face all kinds of horror scenes.
Ten minutes later.
Looking at the raging flames on the screen and the figures rushing towards the enemy one after another, she sniffed and felt tears boiling in her eyes.
