Chapter 29: Haunted Set
Xu Zhizhi's life was peaceful. The most exciting thing was that she couldn't open her door, so she used the system skills to unlock it for herself.
Her mechanical door lock took less than a minute.
The system's skills are very useful, fully demonstrating what a system product is, which must be a top-notch product.
This also made Xu Zhizhi more aware of the security of the dormitory arranged by the company. The next day after she was locked up, she changed the password and fingerprint to unlock the door.
The only bad thing is that the system has an intelligent voice, which often nags in Xu Zhizhi's ear, saying that the host is not doing his job.
It would be fine if he said less, but if he said too much, Xu Zhizhi would want to find the blocking button, and if he couldn't find it, he would want to fight back against it.
For example, now.
[Host unlocks skills like a duck in water, don't you want an exciting challenge? 】
[Bank vaults, safe deposit boxes of the rich, these are all good places to make money. ]
[You are making money too slowly now, why not challenge the criminal law! ]
Xu Zhizhi: …
She screamed in her mind, which immediately shocked the Crime Assistance System 011.
"Why don't you just call it the Evil System? You asked me to open bank vaults and safe deposit boxes, and even challenge the criminal law! What a good place to make money! It's a tutorial for a quick jail term!" Xu Zhizhi looked ferocious, like a Shura descended to the world, and started talking with the sword pointed at the crime assistance system.
She agreed to bind the system, but she did not agree to commit a crime.
System: [Host is emotionally agitated, please calm down! ]
"Shut up, it's enough for you to have malicious points, don't teach me how to do anything!" Xu Zhizhi's face was gloomy.
【I am a crime assistance system! 】
The system gives a weak reminder.
Xu Zhizhi angrily said: "You can't give me money without any effort, so just shut up and say less!"
The system fell silent. This host was truly different.
While Xu Zhizhi was slowly eating a piece of bread and watching the movie "The Masked Killer", he spoke carefully.
[Host, you have a mission, the mission of the crime assistance system. ]
Then a pop-up window appeared in front of Xu Zhizhi, and a small translucent ball appeared on the right side of Xu Zhizhi.
[Ding, tasks will be issued based on past malicious value acquisition to increase the host's enthusiasm for utilization.]
[Limited time mission: Please obtain 1,000 malicious points within 30 days. Reward: production and dismantling of bombs. Failure penalty: deduct 100,000 RMB from the host.]
Xu Zhizhi: …
It turned out that he was waiting for her here. She asked why the system was not dumb anymore, and it must be doing something bad!
And it accurately grasped his soft spot of loving money, Xu Zhizhi gnashed her teeth on the spot. If the system could be eaten, it would chew and chew the system and eat it clean!
The reality is, she has to get the job done.
One hundred thousand yuan! What a huge sum of money!
Unfortunately, Xu Zhizhi regretted her decision and could only continue to gain badwill.
So when Yun Ziwei called and said that a movie starring a female villain invited her to audition, she agreed without even reading the information.
There is definitely no malicious value in playing a good guy, and when Xu Zhizhi heard that it was a villain, she thought about agreeing.
It was impossible to earn bad intentions by doing real crime, and she didn't want to stay in the detention center and then in prison. Playing villains and getting paid was simply too good for Xu Zhizhi.
But when she put down her phone, she fell silent again. Why is she called the villain?
Is it a plot with a vicious female protagonist, or a plot in which everyone is evil?
Xu Zhizhi fell into deep thought, and then slowly waited for Sister Yun's reply.
After Yun Ziwei sent the story outline to Xu Zhizhi, she looked a little serious. She originally thought that since Xu Zhizhi came to Cloud Nine, she would naturally try to diversify the roles she played.
How can I just play villains and have fixed roles?
But this role is very interesting. Although the investment is small, the director is a new and talented director. Xu Zhizhi was invited to play the role of one of the leading actors, and the female lead.
The script is a crime suspense novel originally created on a green website, which already has a certain traffic base.
If you add all these up, other female stars would be fighting for it.
As long as you are sincere enough, there will be no splash.
But she was just an agent, the real decision maker in this matter was Xu Zhizhi.
So Yun Ziwei informed Xu Zhizhi on the same day. If she made the decision, that would be great. If she refused, she could look for the script later.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhizhi agreed without asking the price, which was inconsistent with her previous style. Before, Xu Zhizhi had to ask for money, and it seemed that she was obsessed with money.
Could it be that he really likes this script? Yun Ziwei guessed.
Yun Ziwei didn't pursue the matter in detail. She was thinking that after this script, she really needed to find a suitable script for Xu Zhizhi. If she continued to act, she would really have a fixed path! This was unacceptable!
As for Xu Zhizhi, when she saw this script, the first thing that came to her mind was that this script was very suitable for collecting malicious points.
Because the heroine is crazy throughout the whole process, she is a smart person full of malice, and a madman who fights back in desperation.
Full of explosiveness and malice, he is a completely sober madman.
Even though this role is depressing, it is very suitable for Xu Zhizhi.
It's just that my role is not as good as before, because I'm the female lead, so this drama should be more difficult to shoot. And almost every scene is challenging. When Xu Zhizhi got the script, she knew she would probably have to study it for a while.
According to information Yun Ziwei later provided, the original author of this novel is the screenwriter of this movie.
Being able to write novels and be a screenwriter, Xu Zhizhi thinks that the other person is truly multi-talented.
Xu Zhizhi reorganized it and condensed the outline of the story.
This is a suspense drama, which begins with the disappearance of the child of the male protagonist Yunxiao and the female protagonist Lu Lan in an afternoon. The disappearance was without any signs, and the child disappeared in just three minutes.
The most terrifying thing is that in just such a short period of time, various searches and expanded search areas could not find any trace of the child.
A child who was only seven years old disappeared from people's sight.
This missing case, which is full of mystery and metaphysics, has attracted the attention of countless people across the Internet. Countless people have participated in it, and with the continuous coverage of the media, they have begun to follow up and report on it.
However, nothing is achieved, but clues keep appearing and the plot keeps twisting.
Everyone in the story is suspicious, the police slowly investigate each suspicious person, and netizens continue to follow and discuss.
As the plot progresses, the couple's seemingly kind neighbors, the elders who seem friendly but hide hatred and dissatisfaction, and the enthusiastic friends continue to show different sides, and there are some old stories hidden behind the missing case.
There are even husbands and wives who are under suspicion.
However, as the investigation deepened, the husband, who is a policeman, gradually discovered various strange things about his wife. It seemed that the child's disappearance was deeply related to his wife. The male protagonist began to try to follow his wife and accidentally discovered the horrifying truth.
A missing case uncovers heavy scars from the past.
The original owner is a mentally ill man, an upright but powerless male protagonist.
They lifted the fog, looking for the truth from ten years ago, and then worked together to uncover the horrible truth from ten years ago, and finally exposed the murderer to the public.
The arrow shot many years ago eventually pierced the murderer's chest.
The mentally ill heroine was sent to the hospital by the hero, and then she and her child waited for her return with peaceful eyes.
After watching the film, Xu Zhizhi marveled at the heroine's bravery, wisdom and madness, and at the same time felt that she should practice and learn what it means to be crazy.
There are also fighting scenes, and Xu Zhizhi feels that she should practice it.
The most important thing is Xu Zhizhi's age. This is also the most confusing thing after watching this movie. It must be difficult for her to dress up as a middle-aged woman in her 40s, right?
Xu Zhizhi thought it was not easy, but she never thought of giving up. If nothing else, she would take the role for the two million yuan salary and the system mission.
As a real actor, you won't make any progress if you keep caring about your image.
And two million is the most Xu Zhizhi can get at this stage. Although it will be much less after profit sharing and tax deduction, the remaining part is still a lot.
After reading the synopsis, Xu Zhizhi closed the page and went to the green website to read the original novel all night.
This is a simple story about human nature, where those who scheme will eventually be schemed against and those who fool will eventually be fooled. After watching it, Xu Zhizhi was stunned for a long time. It took her a while to sort out her thoughts and start shooting.
She did not join the team immediately because she had initially agreed to it and there were still things to do, such as signing a contract. In this free time, she needed to finish what Yun Ziwei had arranged before.
The two ggs are one for cosmetics and one for daily necessities.
The prices are not very high, but the shooting is relatively simple, Xu Zhizhi can finish it in two days. It is very tiring, so Xu Zhizhi needs to check her balance before she can recover.
The last A-level exclusive contract promotion for "Black Crow" took Xu Zhizhi four or five days, which was the longest and most laborious process.
The most important thing is to fly to Jiang City to cooperate with the promotion.
Over the past three months, Bai Sheng's condition has improved, and after a brief exchange of greetings, the two sides began to promote the project.
Various cameras were focused on Xu Zhizhi and the others, and then the leading actors and creators were interviewed. After they officially performed on stage once and signed the contract, that was about it.
Just like Xu Zhizhi’s previous live broadcast, everyone still cooperated tacitly and waited for the promotion to be completed.
Black Crow had already been edited, and the first three episodes were aired on the afternoon of the third day after the contract was signed. This was the first time Xu Zhizhi officially appeared in front of the public with a drama, and it was herself, not another Xu Zhizhi.
She was filled with mixed emotions because this was her second career besides being a lawyer.
After the promotion, Xu Zhizhi had a meal with Bai Sheng and Qin Su. The three of them chatted and got along naturally and happily, as if they were old friends.
After dinner, Bai Sheng will go abroad to relax after the drama is over, Qin Su will move on to the next case, and Xu Zhizhi will become a busy little actor again and start running around.
Three days later, Lin Yu ran to Xu Zhizhi's apartment at 7:30 in the evening and began to wait for the result with Xu Zhizhi.
I'll pack up my things and head to the next city to join the group tomorrow.
Yes, I joined the crew directly without any audition process.
The other party was very generous, and Xu Zhizhi agreed to bring the contract that day, and the two sides formally signed the contract after communication.
If she wasn't sold, she wouldn't be worth the money. Xu Zhizhi even suspected that the other party was a liar.
"The show starts airing at 8 o'clock. I heard that the number of people who have made reservations to watch it has reached several million!" Lin Yu said exaggeratedly, waving his hands.
This drama became popular before it was aired, and Xu Zhizhi was on the trending searches twice, which directly gave the drama great exposure.
Xu Zhizhi opened the software and took out two bottles of Happy Water, giving one to Lin Yu.
In recent days, she has increased her exercise, signed up for a martial arts class, and drank something sweet to make her brain more excited.
Lin Yu took the drink and pressed the remote control. Of course it was more comfortable to watch the big screen at home.
At 8:01, three episodes of "Black Crow" were released in a row.
Lin Yu clicked to watch, and a dark scene began to appear on the screen.
The first scene is the scene where the murderer committed the crime, and the real-time barrage immediately filled with a series of crazy "Ahhhhhhh" sounds.
Although there is no direct bloody violence, the look in the killer's eyes under the hood at the end makes everyone in front of the screen extremely terrified.
A cool feeling flowed along the top of my head and rushed directly down to my tailbone.
Then sixteen years later, the hero and heroine meet and investigate a case.
This case, which spanned sixteen years, was investigated by interweaving various modern cases sixteen years later.
The plot is tight and the details are convincing enough to stand up to scrutiny. Even Lin Yu, an insider, was drawn into the story.
It wasn't until the end of the episode that she came to her senses.
Then she suddenly remembered something, took out her cell phone and started reading messages.
As expected.
"Black Crow" became a hot search.
Including the male and female leading actors, Xu Zhizhi all have their own hot searches.
"I haven't seen such a good web series in a long time!"
"So sincere, everyone's acting is on point!"
"Especially Xu Zhizhi, her acting was so scary! I'm going to be so scared that I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
"Finally, I'd like to add that the performance was so realistic! I suggest you check it out."
By the way, I @ed the Beijing city officials.
Xu Zhizhi turned her head to look at Lin Yu's phone, saw the last comment, paused for a moment, and chose to ignore it.
She has infiltrated the police! She is a good person! The police will not listen to your lies!
“The high praises from the front row were all compliments. From the acting to the costumes and props, all aspects exceeded the audience’s expectations!” Lin Yu said excitedly.
Xu Zhizhi picked up the phone and flipped through it again. "Not bad!"
In the "Black Crow" crew, excited congratulations kept coming out!
Of course, there are also people who publish data.
This is the ultimate indicator of a drama, and it also indicates whether the drama can recover its costs.
Xu Zhizhi clicked and swiped upwards to view the data.
From 100,000 online views at the beginning, it became 300,000 after ten minutes, and then 500,000... 1 million... 2 million...
After more than an hour, it became as much as five million!
"I've looked at the stats over the past few years, and this has already far exceeded similar dramas. Ahhhhhh! This drama is going to be a hit!!!"
Lin Yu held the phone, hugged Xu Zhizhi and started screaming excitedly!
The first time she played the leading role, she was able to star in a hit drama, even if it was a web drama, which allowed many audiences and producers to see Xu Zhizhi.
Xu Zhizhi also smiled. After all, she acted in this drama with real feelings and not at all perfunctory.
She lowered her eyes, took the phone and handed it to Lin Yu, "The official account is about to break two million fans!"
This is extremely lucky for the actors.
Because in the entertainment industry, many actors cannot have both fame, traffic and money. Many people have played roles, but even after more than ten years of hard work, the audience still does not remember them.
It is normal that the drama is popular but the actors are not.
So Xu Zhizhi has won both traffic and money, which is indeed lucky for her.
Lin Yu hugged Xu Zhizhi and said, "You don't know, at that time you didn't find your acting skills, and we were ridiculed many times behind our backs."
The entertainment industry is full of people who flatter the powerful and bully the weak, and being unknown is a sin. Lin Yu had never said these things before.
"This won't happen again in the future." Xu Zhizhi patted her.
Lin Yu nodded obediently and wiped away the tears that were overflowing.
She will be a celebrity assistant in the future! And she will do even better and stand further away from Xu Zhizhi.
Lin Yu analyzed herself and thought that this mentality was just a product of playing. Watching Xu Zhizhi rise step by step, she felt that her daughter was making progress.
Then, after they watched the last two episodes, Lin Yu was completely hooked on the show.
Xu Zhizhi also commented that the editing of this drama is also very good!
The next day, two men with dark circles under their eyes showed up in front of the car that was supposed to pick her up from the company.
In order to cover up, Xu Zhizhi specially put on a mask and other things for herself.
Then arrive at the airport and go to the shooting location.
After a little tidying up, she joined the new crew! Building a career is the eternal theme!
She only has nineteen days left to complete her mission, and her goal is nowhere in sight.
Entering the filming base, Xu Zhizhi met the director.
He is a young man with a shaved head, sad eyes and a melancholy look. His name is Qian Qian. Although he is young, he has already filmed many works and won the Best New Director Award. He is known as a genius director.
This is also the main reason why Yun Ziwei chose this script even though she was considering changing the type of role.
The screenwriter is the original author Meng Ziyun, who graduated from a prestigious school and is very good at writing suspense, mystery and crime stories. He has written several popular works on the Green Website.
This is also her first time as a screenwriter, and it is said to be a challenge for herself.
Then there is the male lead, Jiang Xia, a middle-aged actor with a bit of righteousness. Behind him are the young actors who play the male and female lead's children.
After a few people got to know each other briefly, Qian Qian looked at Xu Zhizhi's backpack and curled his lips, "She should have studied the original work and the script."
"I have studied it. If there is anything I don't fully understand, I hope the two teachers can help me clear it up." The script was given to Xu Zhizhi after she signed the contract, so Xu Zhizhi nodded in response.
In fact, she read it several times, wrote a note and a short biography of the character, and visited the author's Weibo to read the author's thoughts when he created the character.
It’s just that these things don’t need to be said out loud, because some things can be seen by the other party just by looking.
Qian Qian nodded slightly, and it was unclear whether he was satisfied or not. Instead, he asked Xu Zhizhi to find a seat.
The crew did not hold any opening ceremony, and there was not even any outside coverage.
At first glance, Qian Qian seems to be a person who is more afraid of trouble than Director Zhou. He just said two sentences and the filming was completed. There was no metaphysical operation, and he himself is also famous for his disdain for ghosts and gods.
Then the location staff started to set up the scene. They chose an older residential complex for the shoot. One of the buildings was completely uninhabited, so they rented it and could set up the scene as they wanted.
It costs a little less than a studio photo shoot and looks more realistic.
The most important thing is that Xu Zhizhi heard the reason given by the screenwriter Ba Gossip was that they could shoot 24 hours a day without worrying about disturbing others.
The other party was more casual about where to live. He directly rented a house in the community and moved in with just his luggage.
Lin Yu had been in many film crews, and was stunned when he heard about their operations.
This is so casual... and economical.
Fortunately, we are not the most delicate ones, so we moved in right away. The good thing is that it is very clean, probably because they hired a special aunt to clean it.
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and took the box to put her toiletries and sanitary products in. She also brought four sets of clothes that she could put on and use right away.
Finally, there are skin care products, some of which were endorsed by previous brands, and some were bought specifically for Xu Zhizhi’s skin.
Xu Zhizhi looked at the layout of two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The rooms were covered with wooden floors and were equipped with various home appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, etc. Outside the living room was a semi-enclosed balcony with railings.
Xu Zhizhi walked over to take a look. There were green trees and the scenery was beautiful.
It is late autumn now, and the scenery is not as good as in summer. The leaves are yellow and there is a sense of bleakness.
Just as Xu Zhizhi's mind was wandering with these irrelevant things, there was a dull banging sound coming from the toilet.
“Ahhhhhh!”
The next second, a sharp scream came from the direction of the bathroom. Xu Zhizhi's face changed and she turned around and went to the toilet.
She was thinking that Lin Yu had slipped or something like that.
But the reality was not what she imagined. The other person was curled up in the corner and screaming, with his head buried in his arms.
Xu Zhizhi hugged the other person subconsciously, and then looked around the bathroom to see if there was anything unusual.
Unfortunately no, there was nothing unusual about the bathroom with separated dry and wet areas, and the glass shower area was clean and dry.
Only then did she ask, "What's wrong? Tell me!"
After hearing Xu Zhizhi's words, Lin Yu slowly relaxed and raised her head from Xu Zhizhi's arms with a look of fear in her eyes.
"Zhizhi, there was a strange female voice here just now! I heard it!" She looked at Xu Zhizhi with a firm look and said.
Xu Zhizhi frowned and half-helped and half-carried Lin Yu up from the ground, "Let's go to the living room to talk."
Lin Yu trusted Xu Zhizhi very much, nodded obediently and was helped out.
After sitting down on the cotton and linen sofa in the living room, Lin Yu suppressed his fear, grabbed Xu Zhizhi's arm with both hands, and told her what he had discovered.
The process was simple. Lin Yu checked the condition of things in the bathroom and put the toiletries he had brought earlier in order.
Unexpectedly, just as she was immersed in her own world, a sad female voice sounded in her ears.
"Seems like she's saying that? She's saying that I'm in pain? She said she's in a lot of pain!" Lin Yu swallowed hard and repeated it affirmatively.
Xu Zhizhi did not express disbelief because Lin Yu had always been mentally stable and had no mental problems.
Then there is a high probability that the sound really appeared.
She thought for a moment and soothed him, "You sit here, I'll go to the bathroom."
Lin Yu grabbed Xu Zhizhi's sleeve, gritted her teeth and shook her head.
"Let's do it together..."
Xu Zhizhi nodded.
Just like that, Xu Zhizhi took Lin Yu and walked slowly towards the bathroom.
It wasn't that Xu Zhizhi wanted to be pretentious, but she was afraid of scaring Lin Yu again if she moved too fast.
But when she actually approached the bathroom, Xu Zhizhi found that there was nothing unusual. She even touched the wall and other places in front of Lin Yu.
Nothing unusual.
"Bang!" Xu Zhizhi did not give up. She forcefully opened the small rusty window of the bathroom and looked outside.
She guessed that the sound might have come from outside and just happened to reach Lin Yu's ears.
Lin Yu, who was standing behind Xu Zhizhi and following Xu Zhizhi, trembled subconsciously because of the sound.
"It's okay, nothing unusual. But you should get ready to pack your things and we'll move out!" Xu Zhizhi said with certainty in her eyes.
Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, it is uncomfortable and makes people feel psychologically unwell.
Lin Yu opened his mouth and said, "Forget it. It will cost a lot of money to live outside. The crew will definitely not be willing to reimburse it."
This place is not particularly far from Beijing, and the rent is 6,000 to 7,000 yuan a month. She knew Xu Zhizhi was very frugal and had helped the little girl privately, so she definitely didn't want to spend this money.
As for staying in a hotel, the cost is much more expensive than renting a house.
Xu Zhizhi would not let her pay for it. She would not let someone who earns more than 8,000 yuan a month spend 8,000 yuan on rent.
"Ask if I can change it," Xu Zhizhi chose a compromise.
Then Xu Zhizhi sent a private message to Qian Qian, asking if they could change houses, and it was okay for them to change to a house with worse conditions.
The other party replied after a while that it was not possible. The community was well decorated, but there were only a few units suitable for living. Theirs was the best. If you really want to change, ask in the group.
Xu Zhizhi asked, but after a while, he said no.
Since they had already moved in a few days ago, moving was a bit of a hassle for them.
Lin Yu also saw the message, pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's just make do with it for now. If anything unusual happens again, we'll move out. This time it might just be an illusion, don't worry too much."
"Okay," Xu Zhizhi thought about it and nodded in agreement to Lin Yu's suggestion.
That's how the matter passed.
Then I simply tidied up my house and took out my clothes and hung them up.
In order to keep Xu Zhizhi warm in the future, Lin Yu even brought a black down jacket and a hand warmer for her to keep her warm on the set.
Then I watch TV or read scripts in the living room.
If Xu Zhizhi needs to recite lines for a scene, she will ask Lin Yu to help her so that she can familiarize herself with the scenes to be filmed tomorrow in advance.
The two arrived in the afternoon, and it was already evening when they finished tidying up and sorting out some small matters.
By the time the rehearsal was over, it was already 11:30 in the evening.
Xu Zhizhi looked at the time and said, "Go to bed. We need to get up early tomorrow."
"Okay!" Lin Yu was a little heartless. He forgot what happened during the day and got up to go to sleep.
They have already washed up, so they can just go to bed now.
In terms of the evening experience, it is indeed better than the hotel.
Xu Zhizhi was lying on the bed, her phone was turned on to the radio drama of the novel "The Stalker", she clicked on the play setting, put it to her ear, and slowly fell asleep while listening to the book.
The radio drama handles immersion very well, and Xu Zhizhi gradually becomes fascinated. However, because she naturally feels sleepy at night, she slowly begins to feel that she is being hypnotized.
Just when Xu Zhizhi was drowsy and about to fall into a deep sleep, a cold and dull voice was heard.
"It hurts so much...it hurts so much...help...help me..."
The resentful voice was like a complaint and a cry, with a creepy plea that made people feel cold all over.
Xu Zhizhi had fallen asleep, but she suddenly opened her eyes out of shock. Under the light of the station lamp, her pupils could be seen suddenly shrinking.
As she opened her eyes, the ethereal voice suddenly disappeared, as if everything was just her illusion.
Xu Zhizhi didn't move. She wanted to try if she could hear the sound again.
But no more sound came.
Just when Xu Zhizhi felt a little relieved, there was a sharp knock on the door. Xu Zhizhi was so scared that her face turned pale and she sat up suddenly.
The continuous "bang bang bang" sound of banging on the door immediately made people nervous, and for a moment they had the illusion that they had a heart attack.
However, there didn't seem to be anything strange this time, because the person knocking on the door called Xu Zhizhi's name.
Lin Yu next door got up faster and quickly got out of bed to ask.
Xu Zhizhi was afraid that she might be in danger, so she stood up and walked to the living room.
The main light in the living room was turned on, and Xu Zhizhi paused.
"I'm sorry, Zhong Qi has a fever. It's hard to buy medicine here in the middle of the night. I want to ask if you have any fever-reducing medicine!" a middle-aged man said worriedly.
Xu Zhizhi was stunned for a moment before she remembered who Zhong Qi was. He was a young actor who played a child.
Xu Zhizhi stepped forward and said, "We didn't bring any. Besides, children shouldn't take adult antipyretics randomly. See if you can buy medicine on the food delivery app."
"Yes, yes! Take a look!" Lin Yu also nodded.
The middle-aged man slapped his head and said, "Yes, yes, yes! My brain is so bad. This is my first time taking a child out. I forget a lot of things."
"If not, just leave the community and take a taxi to the nearby hospital! Don't be late..." Xu Zhizhi warned.
The man nodded but didn't mention going with him.
After all, one adult is enough to go to the hospital.
It was late at night and they had only just met, so there was no need to be too enthusiastic.
Xu Zhizhi herself felt a little uncomfortable. In short, she was frightened. She was frightened and her heart was beating a little faster.
She pursed her lips and watched the person go downstairs and walk away before she closed the door and locked it.
"Go to bed quickly. We have to shoot early tomorrow morning," Lin Yu called Xu Zhizhi to go back and continue sleeping.
Xu Zhizhi nodded, "Let's go back."
She didn't tell anyone about the voices she heard, because whether it was an illusion or a real thing, telling them would have no good consequences.
Lin Yuhui was so scared that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. We should talk about it tomorrow.
But in addition to fear, Xu Zhizhi was also very curious about where the sound came from.
Is there really a ghost saying these things in my ear?
Xu Zhizhi lay in bed, lost in thought. She took out her cell phone fearfully, continued playing the radio drama and pretended to be asleep. She wanted to see if the sound would appear again.
She is indeed afraid of ghosts, but she doesn't believe that ghosts can really harm her. If they could really harm her, she wouldn't cry for help.
Weird thoughts started to run through Xu Zhizhi's mind, and then she slowly fell asleep under the hypnosis of the radio drama.
The next day, the sun shone on her bedroom window, and she opened her eyes as her cell phone rang.
Unfortunately, Xu Zhizhi had her eyelids drooping and had no intention of appreciating this scene.
She got up and her skin was swollen. Then she took care of her skin, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and changed her clothes. After doing all this, she went downstairs to the shooting location.
The story begins in this building. The heroine and the child are playing small games around this building in the community.
This is their favorite place to play, because the green trees and lush plants surround this old building. The surrounding roads are flat, so it is very nice to play.
The woman played with the child as usual, but unexpectedly, she didn't find the child this time.
The child disappeared out of thin air around the building, as if he had never been there.
It was afternoon time and there were quite a few people in the community, all of whom were familiar faces.
The key point is that the child is already over seven years old, and it is normal for him to come down and play alone.
The woman shouted anxiously, then walked around the building three times. Finally, she went home with a glimmer of hope to see if the child was naughty and chose to go back.
Unfortunately not.
Then the entire community was mobilized to search for the missing person.
Still nothing.
The woman's eyes were filled with despair. She had never thought that her baby would be lost.
Finally, the woman trembled as she took out her cell phone and called the police. Her eyes were dazed and a huge sense of fear enveloped her.
The police also began searching, from day to night.
In order to adapt quickly, and because the indoor scene had not been fully built, Xu Zhizhi was arranged to shoot this outdoor scene.
Xu Zhizhi's physical strength that she had adapted beforehand came in handy. This scene involved a lot of people, and with all the running around and various NG scenes, it took most of the day to finish filming.
Why did it take most of the day? The first half of the day was mainly spent on makeup. Xu Zhizhi knew how to disguise herself, so she didn't need the skill. Xu Zhizhi declined the makeup artist's offer and started to do it herself after hearing what she wanted.
Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. It did not erase her facial features, but at the same time made people know that this was the image of a middle-aged woman.
Every corner of the eyes, hair, and face are handled with extreme detail, and the skin on the hands has become rougher than that of young people due to age.
The makeup artist was stunned and at the same time grateful to Xu Zhizhi for her help, because the image of the heroine was difficult to achieve and her own ideas could not achieve the same effect as Xu Zhizhi's.
During the filming, the director even exaggerated the makeup.
The makeup artist casually mentioned that Xu Zhizhi did the painting herself, which shows that she is indeed very skilled.
Only Lin Yu was confused, shaking Xu Zhizhi, saying, "Doesn't she know how to put on makeup? And you let her do it!"
Xu Zhizhi helplessly explained that she could only paint ugliness, not beauty, and praised Lin Yu's makeup skills, and only then did Lin Yu let her go.
But she didn't know why. Xu Zhizhi always felt that someone was watching her, but she couldn't find the owner of the gaze.
Soon she couldn't care anymore because she was so tired.
By the evening of the filming, Xu Zhizhi felt like she was about to fall apart, as if she had forgotten something.
The only thing that made her feel at ease was that her acting skills were not questioned. Qian Qian even felt that Xu Zhizhi was very considerate.
The scriptwriter also felt Xu Zhizhi's dedication, and his eyes were shining when he saw Xu Zhizhi. At noon, during a break in filming, he ran to Xu Zhizhi and discussed the role with her with sparkling eyes.
The more they discussed, the brighter the screenwriter's eyes became, and they chatted until the break was over.
The author has devoted the most time to the heroine, who is complex, vicious, and full of emotions. She is unscrupulous, but also loyal.
Like an inky lotus, it is full of otherness, yet carries a hint of helplessness and sadness.
As Xu Zhizhi chatted, she gradually learned something about the script and the director's personality.
According to Meng Ziyun, she was ready to rest after selling the copyright, but then the director thought she understood the play better, so he asked her to learn screenwriting and hired a teacher to train her.
In the end, she spent a lot of time learning it and then wrote this script.
But it can't be completely passed, so she has to stay on the set and be ready to revise the plot all the time.
"Speaking of which, Director Qian really doesn't employ people he doubts, and trusts people he employs. Almost none of the main actors have had auditions." Meng Ziyun looked at the director who was concentrating on eating his lunch and said to Xu Zhizhi.
Xu Zhizhi was surprised. “Didn’t any of them have auditions?” She felt that the actors and actresses they found were all very professional.
It seemed that the young actor bought some antipyretic medicine last night, and he continued to act today after his fever subsided. His performance was quite natural.
The other lead actor did not go on stage, but Xu Zhizhi looked very professional while reciting her lines.
There was no interview at all. This Mr. Qian has really sharp observation skills.
Is this the confidence of a genius director?
Meng Ziyun nodded firmly.
Unfortunately, the good mood after being appreciated was all gone after this chaotic yet regular movement lasted for three hours and was repeated more than ten times for most of the day.
Whenever Xu Zhizhi went back, she was always taken back by Lin Yuqi.
Sitting on the sofa, Lin Yu went to arrange the foot bath bucket that she bought on the way for Xu Zhizhi, and also prepared the fascia wooden warehouse.
If she didn't do these, Xu Zhizhi would definitely be in so much pain that she wouldn't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
Xu Zhizhi obediently accepted the arrangement, but she did the fascia and wood joints herself.
The cotton and linen sofa was very comfortable, with just the right amount of softness and hardness. Leaning against the backrest, Xu Zhizhi felt like she was about to fall asleep.
The fascia in Mucang's hand relaxed the muscles one by one, and finally slid to the side.
When Lin Yu came out, he saw a picture of a beautiful woman sleeping in autumn.
She didn't wake up Xu Zhizhi, but picked up the fascia massager and pressed her carefully a few times. You can't just not do it because she fell asleep, otherwise everyone will blame Zhizhi for delaying the progress of the set.
There was a little sound from the fascia. Lin Yu pulled a blanket to cover Xu Zhizhi and continued his actions.
Perhaps because she was too tired, Xu Zhizhi slept very soundly and showed no intention of waking up.
Lin Yu pursed her lips and worked seriously.
As she was working silently, the balcony window was blown and a gust of wind mixed with coldness blew in.
Lin Yu felt the coolness on his face, stood up, put down the things in his hands, and went to close the window.
There is no partition between the living room and the balcony, but the wind will be weakened.
Only when Lin Yu walked to the balcony window did he realize how strong the wind was.
She reached out to close the window, then looked up at the wind chimes swaying in the wind. The wind was too strong just now, so even after she closed the window, the chimes were still swaying, making a sound like the sound of shells colliding.
No wonder she always felt there was a sound.
But she was also wondering, was there such a white shell wind chime when she came here yesterday?
She scratched her head, probably because it was hung next to the clothesline above the balcony and she didn't notice it when she looked at the house!
She continued to walk to Xu Zhizhi, pulled Xu Zhizhi back after she moved a little, then sat on the sofa and pressed her legs through the blanket.
Her hand movements were very delicate and her eyes were focused.
Just when she was thinking about calling Xu Zhizhi to go to bed later and going to bed early without playing with her phone, the light suddenly flickered.
She thought the voltage or the light bulb was not good enough, so she continued pressing.
Just then, a sound suddenly began to ring in her ears.
"I'm... in pain..."
Lin Yu's face suddenly tensed up, and he stopped moving his muscles instantly, and the sound disappeared.
After a long while, she realized that there was no sound, so she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to work.
Lin Yu was a little sleepy, and moved with a distracted mind.
Just when she was almost sleepy enough to squeeze onto the sofa with Xu Zhizhi, a voice rang out again.
"I... am... in pain... help... help... me"
A voice full of resentment, like complaining and crying, like a cuckoo crying blood, was heard. Lin Yu's sleepiness disappeared instantly, and he looked around in horror while holding the fascia mucang.
At this moment, the lights in the living room seemed to be affected as well, flickering slowly from time to time.
