"We've... wrapped up filming!"
At Director Chung's command, the entire crew of the 'Ghost House' cheered in unison.
"Damn it, these guys are finally leaving!"
Mr. Fang, the owner of the haunted house where the second half of the filming took place, secretly cheered upon hearing this.
During this period, he gave his only long-time employee, Xiaoyu, a break, so he had to stay here by himself.
Because I haven't had time to go out and have fun, my belly has gotten much thinner, and I don't look as impressive when I go out anymore.
Although he was secretly pleased, Mr. Fang did not show it to Director Zhong.
Even when the crew was leaving, he pulled Director Chung aside with a regretful expression and said he hoped there would be another opportunity to work together next time.
"Don't agree! Don't agree! Even if we have to cooperate, I hope this wretched kid won't be around anymore!"
Mr. Fang thought to himself with a slightly stiff expression.
Fortunately, upon hearing this, Director Zhong exclaimed:
"Mr. Fang, this place is really great. I probably won't come back, but I'll definitely recommend it to my friends!"
"Of course, of course! Thank you so much, Director Zhong! Take care, everyone!"
Mr. Fang spoke with a ruddy complexion.
Of course, when his gaze swept over Xu Lu beside him, a voice in his mind couldn't be controlled:
"You'd better get out of here, damn it, you scared all my employees away!"
...
"Xiao Xu, I think that Boss Fang is very wary of you, like you're a thief. He kept an eye on you the whole way when we left, hahaha!"
Director Zhong has a good eye; after leaving the haunted house, he jokingly said to Xu Lu.
"I know that, I know that. I heard it's because Teacher Xu scared away all of Mr. Fang's employees, so Mr. Fang held a grudge against her!"
Actress An Ying interjected from the side:
"I also heard that the haunted house has designated Mr. Xu as the 'most unwelcome person,' without exception. If Mr. Xu wants to play in the future, he probably won't be able to buy a ticket!"
Hahahaha...
Upon hearing this, everyone around laughed.
Xu Lu helplessly shrugged and said:
"Perspective, perspective! The owner of this haunted house has absolutely no perspective. By the way, how many customers did I bring here?"
Not only did he not thank me, but he also didn't welcome me to come again next time. It's completely unreasonable; what a petty person!
After making a joke about that idiot Boss Fang, Xu Lu, who was about to leave, said to Director Zhong:
"Director Zhong, I wish 'The Haunted House' great box office success in advance..."
"Thank you for your kind words, Xiao Xu. Let's work together again in the future!"
Director Zhong chuckled.
"Definitely, definitely! Director Zhong, please keep an eye out for any other resources I may have. I don't even have a role in my next film yet!"
Xu Lu nodded, said a few words, and then said goodbye to the others.
After he got out of the car alone and watched as the entire film crew left, Xu Lu thought to himself:
"I said the box office would be a huge success, and that wasn't just a lucky prediction; there's evidence to back it up."
After all, the film 'The Haunted House' has already achieved an overall rating of 'A'.
It's only one level below my previous films, 'Ip Man 2' and 'Narrow Road Encounters', both of which are S-level.
This is two levels higher than the C-rated online movie 'God of Comedy'!
That's right!
After filming wrapped on 'The Haunted House', Xu Lu's mental attribute panel was updated once again:
[System Owner: Xu Lu]
[Film Appearances: The Haunted House]
[Film Genre: Horror]
[Overall Film Rating: A]
[Character Contribution Rating: A+]
[Should I draw the video-related skill 'Qiankun Wangqi'?]
[Note: You have three chances to change your skill selection for each video. Once a skill is abandoned, it cannot be selected again. Please use each chance carefully!]
"Observing the Qi of Heaven and Earth? It seems to be the skill that the male protagonist in the haunted house possesses."
However, in the movie, to better portray this ability, the protagonist sees a direct threat of death!
Xu Lu was somewhat excited upon seeing the newly introduced skill.
He had previously acquired three skills: 'Combat Mastery', 'Painting Mastery', and 'Performance Mastery'. This time, he finally got a skill that didn't end with 'Mastery'.
The name "Qiankun Wangqi" (乾坤望气) suggests a skill leaning towards the mystical realm, which piqued his curiosity even more.
So, without even thinking about changing it, Xu Lu simply silently recited in his mind:
"Draw a skill!"
The next moment, Xu Lu felt some magical changes in his eyes, and he casually glanced at the passersby.
I noticed that the light or 'aura' emanating from each person I passed by was different, with most of them being predominantly white.
Xu Lu noticed that a passerby had a very thick white aura around him, and upon closer inspection, the person's mental state was also quite vibrant.
If we further categorize by age, older people generally have less white aura, and some may even have black aura lingering around them.
However, young people tend to have a stronger white aura, unless they are obviously weak, in which case the white aura is weaker.
"So this is the function of the skill 'Qiankun Wangqi': judging a person's condition by observing their qi."
Xu Lu had some insights.
This is not a common skill like fighting, painting, or performing.
Although Xu Lu doesn't yet know the specific usage of this skill, it is still quite amazing.
