Chapter 8: Shooting the Scene's Attention

Because the information didn't match, and finding one person was like looking for a needle in a haystack, it would be impossible to rely on her alone. After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Zhizhi decided to put it aside for the time being.

Her top priority now is to make good movies and earn money so that she can take on other jobs in the entertainment industry in the future.

As for Bai Qing and the eldest son who was fond of entertainment, Xu Zhizhi decided to put them aside for a while. Before she had the strength, she would have to endure some things.

However, what Xu Zhizhi didn't expect was that Bai Qing called her when she was about to fall asleep at night.

After the familiar ringtone, Xu Zhizhi picked up the phone.

"I didn't expect that in just two days, you've hooked up with Bai Sheng. Why bother? You might as well curry favor with the eldest son of Shengxing Entertainment. At least he can arrange a heroine for you." The feminine and sharp voice rang out again, full of the pleasure of malicious slander.

Even though he knew Xu Zhizhi didn't do it, he was just a malicious person on purpose.

Xu Zhizhi frowned. Although she decided to put it aside, she didn't want to be offended. She directly retorted: "Can't you find someone else? I also advised you not to hang yourself on a tree, but to learn to change your mindset. It seems that Master Shengxing is popular with both men and women. Why don't you go in person?" Xu Zhizhi thought it was not exciting enough and continued: "Really, I think you look okay. You said you should fight for it yourself, and I agree. So you can take your destiny into your own hands and trade directly with the other party for what you want to avoid the middleman making a profit from the difference."

"Come on! I believe in you!"

The words were so sincere that the other person seemed to be infected and didn't say a word.

After a while, Bai Qing suddenly shouted angrily: "Xu Zhizhi! You don't know what's good for you! You actually let me, a man, go with you!"

Making a man crawl under another man's body is a huge blow to his ridiculous self-esteem.

Xu Zhizhi smiled contemptuously at Bai Qing's breach of defense. This meant that he was allowed to spread rumors about others, but others were not allowed to fight back.

"Why not? Be good. You won't survive in this circle if you keep those old ideas. If you want to eat, you should learn to be submissive. Now that he likes men and he's still in the hospital, you should pay more attention to him. You can do it!"

Xu Zhizhi calmly responded to what the other person had said to her when she traveled through time, using the same tone as the other person's previous words, full of "well-intentioned" advice.

There was a sharp explosion from Bai Qing's end. He no longer cared about trying to persuade Xu Zhizhi. All he wanted now was to grab Xu Zhizhi from the screen and kill her!

"Xu Zhizhi! Just wait for me!" he shouted angrily.

Xu Zhizhi had already turned off the speaker and ignored the barking of the dog behind her. She hung up the phone calmly. Her roar now was nothing more than impotent rage.

The contract is tied to the company, not to Bai Qing. When she really has the bargaining chips, she will naturally be able to resist the other party.

There is no progress on the murderer's case, and life has to go on. Xu Zhizhi officially starts her career in the drama crew. She does play the role of a murderer well, but there are still many things that need to be supplemented.

Xu Zhizhi tries her best to be perfect and absorbs knowledge like a sponge.

Qin Su had some ideas based on the information Xu Zhizhi provided, and was absent from the set for several days, apparently intensifying his investigation.

Although Bai Sheng looks big and strong, he is actually a very gossipy person in private. He told Xu Zhizhi about Qin Su's experience, but Xu Zhizhi thought that Qin Su was a bad person.

Xu Zhizhi didn't take it to heart at first, and she took it even less seriously after hearing Bai Sheng say that.

After that, Xu Zhizhi focused all her attention on the filming. The crew did not shoot the scenes in the order of the series. Except for the first case, which was shot earlier, there was no order to the others.

On the third day of joining the crew, Xu Zhizhi had her first official shoot.

There were a lot of people watching, and this kind of curiosity and horror was certainly frightening, but it also made people feel more excited.

In order to help Xu Zhizhi get off to a good start, Bai Sheng even gave her a special recitation of the play.

She had come to the audition out of sheer courage, even though she was starving to death. Now that she was performing in front of a large audience, she couldn't help but feel a little shy.

She stood next to the red brick building, looked up and around, her eyes filled with wonder.

All that timidity and shame disappeared, and her whole temperament changed.

It seemed that at this moment, she turned into the murderer.

He watched someone walk in, took out a knife and killed someone, and then he looked at the victim with indifference and a smile before he began to dismember him after he died.

Her movements were slow and methodical, as if she was doing something artistic. There was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which was so cold and indifferent that it was terrifying, making the actress who played Wang Yuchun opposite her feel truly frightened.

She lowered her hands that were covering her neck, and her body subconsciously shrank back with her hands and feet out of fear.

"Ka, what are you afraid of! Xu Zhizhi will kill you! Are you going to cover your neck and close your eyes in fear?" Bai Sheng's huge voice echoed throughout the entire set.

Others looked at the young actress with pity. In fact, they understood her fear. Anyone who saw such realistic acting would be terrified from the bottom of their heart.

Especially when they are face to face, even if the other person shows a seemingly harmless face, it is enough to scare people into running away.

Xu Zhizhi came out of her state and looked at him apologetically, "Did I scare you?"

The actor who played Wang Yuchun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"I'll give you three minutes, take a moment and continue!" Bai Sheng frowned when he heard the conversation between the two, but in the end he didn't continue to be sarcastic to the other party.

Xu Zhizhi stood there, watching the other person calm down his fear.

At this time, there was a sound of high heels stepping on the concrete floor. Xu Zhizhi turned her head to look at the person who came. It was He Wen, who had not appeared on the set for three days. Thinking of her previous suspicion of the other party, she forced a smile.

As the wife of director and investor Bai Sheng, He Wen was naturally able to enter and leave the set freely.

She was wearing a beige silk mini-skirt, had short black curly hair and light makeup, and looked very pretty. When she saw Xu Zhizhi smiling at her, she also returned a polite smile.

When Bai Sheng saw his wife coming, his face lit up with joy and he stood up quickly to give her his seat.

"I saw you praised Zhizhi's acting skills before, so I came to see how she performed." He Wen gathered her skirt, sat down gracefully, and explained softly.

Bai Sheng smiled and nodded, looking at his wife eagerly and said, "You'll know if you watch it. She just scared the girl who played Wang Yuchun to tears!"

"Then I'll wait and see! You seldom praise people like this!" He Wen smiled gently and reservedly.

Three minutes had passed, and the people who were arranging the makeup and the scene went downstairs. As the sound of "start" rang out, everyone gradually got into the state.

The previous scene had already been filmed, and Xu Zhizhi was now watching the victim breathe his last.

The girl who plays Wang Yuchun is a professional actor with a good ability to adjust herself. She tries hard to suppress her excessive fear and terror and starts acting.

Originally, this scene only required a close-up shot of the victim's face, followed by a sideways confrontation, but Bai Sheng felt that a panoramic shot would highlight the atmosphere and authenticity.

Xu Zhizhi transformed into the spokesperson of fear. The actors in the other roles were unable to get into the role quickly, but immediately became absorbed in it after seeing Xu Zhizhi's performance.

There is not even a transition.

Then Xu Zhizhi started to dismember the body. Naturally, we would not film these, but chose to film Xu Zhizhi directly.

Xu Zhizhi acted according to her own ideas, her movements were clean and neat, and her eyes were cold.

The blood from the prop splattered, staining half of her snow-white cheek red.

And the moment she touched the warm blood, she smiled a beautiful smile, seductive and weird.

There was a sound of gasps at the scene.

Xu Zhizhi continued to perform the disembodied corpse-dismembering technique, except that she hissed when she cut the opponent's thigh.

The action then continues until the post-processing scene is completed.

The actors wearing special effects makeup have already laid down, and Xu Zhizhi appears in the camera a little bit, handling everything delicately and elegantly, like an artist handling a special work of art, with a mysterious and serene expression.

She carefully collected the fallen hair on the ground and neatly laid out the moved teacups and quilts.

After doing all this, pack up and leave.

"Okay! Once and for all!"

A loud cheer broke out, and the eerily quiet atmosphere gradually eased.

Fu Nian and Xu Yunlai, both of whom admired the same style, watched this scene and pulled Xu Zhizhi to brag about it as soon as they left the screen.

The next scene switched to filming the scene outside the hospital - Xu Zhizhi listened to the screams of grief and stood in the crowd watching this scene. As for the villain's name, it was originally created for the time being, a name that was difficult to distinguish between male and female - Wang Ling.

She originally did not participate in these two scenes. They were added by Bai Sheng with great interest after Xu Zhizhi made certain descriptions.

Xu Zhizhi stood in the crowd, but she felt inexplicably being watched from behind.

It seemed as if someone was staring at her. The chilling feeling made her back go cold and she felt uncomfortable all over.

With a barely noticeable smile on her lips, she looked at the person who was crying until his voice was hoarse, and the police who were rushing over with a serious look on their faces.

Her eyes fell on the male and female protagonists who came in last, with interest in her eyes.

She finished the performance firmly under such scrutiny until a word "over" came. Xu Zhizhi turned her head sharply, wanting to know who was staring at her.

Apart from the spot where she was standing, there were all kinds of equipment and people on the set.

There were people carrying cameras, stagehands holding props, actors watching, assistant directors, on-site directors and all kinds of other people. Xu Zhizhi looked around and had no idea who was staring at her.

There was no suspicious person, and she didn't even see He Wen.

A woman's sixth sense is sharp, and she keenly perceived that the person staring at her was most likely the serial murderer.

At this moment, Xu Zhizhi's first feeling was fear.

Because she is being targeted by a serial killer, she is in danger.

At this time, Lin Yu trotted over and handed Xu Zhizhi a thermos cup filled with ice water to help her cool down a little.

It is summer now, but the crime was filmed in late autumn. She was wearing two layers of clothes, both of which were long-sleeved, and she could not stand the heat by now.

Xu Zhizhi held the thermos cup in her hand, pursed her lips and didn't take a sip, because that cold gaze made her feel uneasy.

Xu Zhizhi knew very well who the owner of this line of sight was.

She felt that the other party was spying on her.

The feeling of danger followed her like a shadow, making her feel as if she were immersed in ice water. Her face turned pale and she felt cold all over.

At this time, Bai Sheng called out to Xu Zhizhi, "Come! Take two close-ups of the hands that were injured during the dismemberment!"

Xu Zhizhi returned the cup to Lin Yu and walked towards the scene with stiff steps.

The special effects makeup artist is already in place. This special effects makeup is not difficult and can be completed in a short while.

The first is a close-up of her raising her hand to check the cut, and the second is a close-up of her hand as she is watched by a crowd.

It wasn't difficult because the facial expressions had already been captured and she just had to strike a pose.

The following gaze made her knuckles stiff. A vagrant who had committed crimes, wiped out two families, and dismembered twelve people, a man who had once single-handedly made it impossible for anyone to go out in Jiang City at night and made the entire city shrouded in fear of him, was now staring at her.

There is a fundamental difference between acting like a murderer and being a real murderer.

This line of sight was fixed on her. Not only were Xu Zhizhi's knuckles stiff, but her back was also stiff, and her hands and feet were trembling slightly.

She knew that in the other party's eyes, she was like a frightened rabbit.

From beginning to end, she didn't dare to turn around and look for him again.

Like a sheep with its neck exposed, trembling under the knife of others.

At this moment, Xu Zhizhi felt a warm touch on the outside of her arm, and a gentle voice said in her ear: "Don't be nervous, relax, it's too stiff to shoot well."

The voice was slightly cold and instantly penetrated Xu Zhizhi's confused mind, causing her to suddenly calm down.

She looked back and saw only He Wen's gentle and quiet profile, Bai Sheng's somewhat angry face beside him, and the puzzled eyes of the others.

Only then did she come to her senses. She had been so immersed in fear that she seemed to have completely forgotten what she was doing.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now!" She forced herself to relax and took a close-up shot.

Only then did she notice Qin Su's figure in the corner of the set.

When she saw the other person, she instantly calmed down and felt safe.

The gaze disappears.

It seems that the other party is not afraid of nothing.

Xu Zhizhi finished the photo shoot quickly, smiled at He Wen with gratitude, and then found a seat to sit down.

After a while, Qin Su sat down next to Xu Zhizhi, leaned over to Xu Zhizhi, and whispered, "I'm here to thank you. Based on the clues you provided, we found the bystander of Wang Yuchun's dismemberment case. The other party had some impression of this person. We invited a criminal profiling expert to draw a portrait of the suspect. Now the database is very complete, and there is a high probability of finding that person."
