As planned, the four of them set off on the weekend. Liang Shaojie arrived at school early to pick up Bei Xiaoyu, picked up Su Nan, and also gave Xu Zhe and Si Xingzhu a ride.
The nanny van was filled with laughter and chatter all the way. Liang Shaojie was driving alone in front, and the chattering in the back seat gave him a headache.
Why are these people so noisy! Apart from Bei Xiaoyu's sweet voice, the other three sounded like annoying chatter to Liang Shaojie.
Upon arriving at the film set, Liang Shaojie, as the largest investor, naturally received the highest level of hospitality.
The director, producer, and a host of lead and supporting actors all came out to greet him.
Liang Shaojie finally felt he had a chance to vent his anger in front of Xu Zhe and his group. "Serves you all right for always looking down on me and going against me, Young Master Liang! Especially that tomboy, she's the biggest nuisance!"
Xu Zhe and Su Nan followed behind Liang Dashao and his wife, who were surrounded by a crowd.
Once Si Xingzhu saw Chu Yan, her eyes and body were glued to him, and she stayed by his side, looking for every opportunity to strike up a conversation.
Xu Zhe thought that if he were in danger now, he would probably die before Si Xingzhu even noticed!
The producer led the group of investors into the first large film studio.
The room was dimly lit and surrounded by stone walls, candlesticks, coffins, and burial objects. Anyone who has watched many tomb raiding dramas knows that this is the tomb in the show.
Xu Zhe originally thought it would be gloomy and eerie to come in, but probably because there were many people and the scenes were all the same, she wasn't scared at all.
Bei Xiaoyu curiously examined the two places closely, and Liang Shaojie followed her every two steps. As soon as Liang Shaojie moved, a large group of people followed Jin Zidong.
This scene really does resemble a melodramatic tale of a domineering CEO spoiling his young wife.
Xu Zhe specifically searched for Ou Yani in the crowd. She was in the third group behind Liang Shaojie, and the look she gave Bei Xiaoyu was extremely unfriendly.
Xu Zhe was on high alert and decided to keep a close eye on Ou Yani!
Seemingly sensing an unfriendly gaze, Ou Yani turned her head, and two unfriendly eyes met.
Xu Zhe immediately backed down, his gaze casually sweeping over her before quickly moving on to other places.
Ou Yani lowered her eyes, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
After visiting the photography studio, Bei Xiaoyu told Liang Shaojie that it was almost done.
So Young Master Liang casually said, "Let's move on to the next scene," and the group of people, some led and some followed, moved on to the next scene.
Stepping into the studio, which was filled with red light, Xu Zhe immediately felt flustered and suffocated.
Red curtains, red prayer flags, and red candles formed a large circle in the center of the floor, which was also decorated with talismans.
Surrounded by red candles, various ritual implements were laid out on the ground. Xu Zhe could almost hear the sounds of striking the implements and chanting spells that terrified her!
"What kind of scene is this?" Bei Xiaoyu asked curiously.
The producer bowed obsequiously and replied, "This is the shrine. The girls who are sacrificed in the drama will be led here to offer their purity on the talismans."
Bei Xiaoyu frowned. She didn't quite understand why there had to be a sacrifice, and what purity meant. Was it the kind she was thinking of?
The producer, closely observing her expression, continued:
"The girls in the drama are all specially selected by sorcerers according to their birth dates and times. Some are 'human-shaped evil spirits,' some are 'human-shaped heavenly deities,' and some are 'human-shaped pixiu.'"
"Different destinies can bring different blessings to their owners. The one with the 'human-shaped Pixiu' destiny is the second female lead, Xiao Nuo."
As the producer spoke, he beckoned Xiao Nuo to the sponsor to make an appearance.
"Xiao Nuo, tell us about your role."
Xiao Nuo, with her bright eyes and white teeth, was pure and lovely. She gave a slight bow to the wealthy couple.
"My character is called Ji Niang. She is a human-shaped Pixiu kept by the sect leader, and she is also the most powerful of all the Ji Niangs."
Bei Xiaoyu asked, "You all call her Ji Niang?"
Xiao Nuo nodded: "Yes, all girls with auspicious destinies are called Ji Niang. My character's surname is Xu, and her name is Xu Ji Niang."
"Xu Jiniang was tricked into falling in love with the sect leader, only to discover that her sincerity was also part of the sacrifice. Only when the 'human-shaped Pixiu' truly loves its master can its blessing power reach its strongest."
"Therefore, under Xu Jiniang's intense love, the sect leader married her and eventually ascended to the throne of the Xun Kingdom."
Liang Shaojie frowned: "Why weren't these mysterious and cryptic plots in the scripts you initially approached me for investment?"
The producer seemed flustered and glanced at Ou Yani.
"Who changed it? What a mess! Who will pay for it if it doesn't pass the review?!" Liang Shaojie questioned sharply.
