Chapter 194 Premeditation
Qi Gu had some expectations for Lin Youxin's acting skills. Lin Youxin's acting skills were only slightly better than his, and he definitely couldn't lie as easily as he did now. In other words, nothing strange happened during the filming process, but there was indeed something fishy about the movie "Evil".
Qi Gu pointed to the large projection screen, and Lin Hanzhi immediately pressed the play button tacitly. The sorcery ritual on the video started playing, and it was the part about Lin Youxin.
Because of the dim light, most of Lin Youxin's expression and body movements were swallowed up by the darkness. Only the round table where the ceremony was held was the focus of light.
As a result, Qi Gu had not noticed before whether Lin Youxin was really possessed or just pretending.
Lin Youxin's reaction when he saw the video was obviously wrong. Normally, an actor should be shocked to see that he actually starred in a movie that he had no memory of and had never participated in, but Lin Youxin's reaction was just surprise...
It was as if he was wondering why the movie was here with Qi Gu when it hadn't even been released yet.
"You still don't want to say it?" Qi Gu asked.
Lin Youxin smiled bitterly and said, "I'm dead now, so the confidentiality agreement is probably not going to work... This is actually very simple. Several people in our crew felt that the script of the online movie was too ordinary and uninteresting. We thought it would not be a big hit after it was released, so we came up with an idea to make the movie into two versions. One version is the one where the internet celebrities are all possessed by evil spirits, and the other version is what you see now. We thought that after the movie is released, we would use the second version as a gimmick to hype up some supernatural events and increase the click rate of the first version."
This is also a common hype tactic used in supernatural films.
Qi Gu keenly grasped the key point: "Who wrote the second version of the script?"
Lin Youxin shook his head: "I guess the screenwriter learned it on some metaphysical platform."
Qi Gu: “…………”
If what Lin Youxin said is true, then the crew of "Evil" can be said to be committing suicide by doing nothing. I don't know where they copied this ritual from, but they dared to conduct experiments and film it. It's simply a death plot in a supernatural movie.
"Who brought up this matter first?" Qi Gu asked with a grim expression.
It was obviously a very common topic, but Lin Youxin was like a poor student who was asked a physics question. He raised his eyes and grimaced for a long time without remembering, "Hey, who brought it up... Director? No, it doesn't seem to be him. The female lead? It doesn't seem to be him either..."
Lin Youxin kept asking himself questions and answering them, eliminating everyone in the crew, but in the end he didn't come to a conclusion.
He finally realized that something was wrong!
He had a clear memory. At the time, they were all gathered in a small room in the hotel for a script review. There were only a few of them, and this matter was brought up by everyone on the spot. But... he just couldn't remember who brought it up.
It felt like there was another invisible person in the dark cubicle besides them, and that person guided them to complete the idea, and maybe even provided a website for screenwriting training, and then made them feel that this was completely normal and there was no problem at all.
So much so that even after his death, Lin Youxin still felt that everything was normal during the filming process.
If that was true, even a dead man like Lin Youxin would feel a layer of white sweat on his back.
"What, what is going on? It won't hurt my family, right?" Lin Youxin, who had come to his senses, was horrified and looked at Qi Gu pleadingly, waiting for his answer.
Qi Gu said with certainty: "No."
Lin Youxin breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qi Gu, "Thank you. I didn't expect that you would be so concerned after seeing me die that you would personally summon Yin to see me."
Qi Gu didn't want to explain too much. This was the limit of the information he could get from Lin Youxin. He looked at Lin Youxin and asked, "Do you still want to meet your parents?" I can make a video call for you. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. ”
Lin Youxin kept saying thank you, but when Qi Gu was about to make a call, he felt a little homesick and paced anxiously above the formation.
Finally, the video was connected.
Talking to relatives was easier than Lin Youxin had thought when he was preparing for the psychological construction. Seeing their familiar faces, some of his emotions just came out of his mouth. He had to say, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry... Don't feel sad for me. I'm fine down there. You guys take care of yourselves. I'll also work hard to accumulate good karma. My bank account number and password are xxxxxx. I haven't lived in the small apartment I bought for long, but I didn't expect that I can't enjoy it anymore. Sister, you can rent it out and use the rent for our parents' retirement. I still have a few deliveries from Taobao that haven't arrived yet. They're all household sundries that we can use at home. You can take them out and use them. Don't waste them."
(This is simultaneous interpretation by Gugu)
No matter how many things you want to remind me of, there will come a time when I have to finish.
The three members of the Lin family looked at Lin Youxin's face on the screen reluctantly. They had clearly agreed to celebrate the festival together next month not long ago, and even decided where to go to meet the crowds.
But how could it be.
There are always many unexpected things in the world. Before actually experiencing them, no one would think that such tragic accidents will eventually happen to themselves or their family.
Lin Youxin looked at Qi Gu: "Thank you, thank you so much."
He spoke incoherently, and finally wished Qi Gu to improve his acting skills and carve out a niche in the entertainment industry. Then he left the audio-visual room and went to where he should go.
Qi Gu was blessed, but he was not in a happy mood: "..."
One could even say it's a bit of a mixed bag.
He began to worry that his master might meet someone down there who had seen the movie he had acted in. Not for any other reason, mainly because I can't afford to lose face.
While Qi Gu lowered his eyes in thought, Jing Ping, who vowed to be the strongest butler, came over with a plate of exquisitely presented fruit desserts and snacks. Lin Hanzhi then took the plate and waved away.
Jing Ping: Where is my great opportunity to show up in front of Madam?
Seeing Qi Gu's expression change, Lin Hanzhi thought he was worried about something strange, so she forked a piece of pineapple and put it to Qi Gu's lips: "It's very sweet, want to try it?"
If he hadn't finished his work, Lin Hanzhi would stick to the principle that he would work himself to death as long as he wasn't dying, and then eat? What to eat!
But now it was Qi Gu in front of him, so of course he would insert some fruit snacks and biscuits in the limited time.
Qi Gu raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Hanzhi, then quickly took the pineapple away.
He was very accustomed to Lin Hanzhi's feeding him whenever he had the chance. Recently, when he went out with Lin Hanzhi, he no longer thought about bringing snacks with him.
Anyway, Lin Hanzhi will prepare all the food he likes and feed it to him at the right time.
All he had to do was open his mouth and continue.
It sounds like some kind of pink animal... Qi Gu took another piece of golden pineapple that was handed to him and thought to himself, that's not right, how can a pig eat such a sweet and premium pineapple.
