Chapter 271 Jinjing Building
Hu Xiaoxiao drove the screenwriter Liang Jiafeng to the Jinjing Building. Director Du Qian was already waiting for them at the building entrance.
The main filming set is located in the Jinjing Building. In order to achieve better results and make the script more perfect, screenwriter Liang Jiafeng suggested to Hu Xiaoxiao that he go to the Jinjing Building, take a look at the set, and then decide whether to enrich the plot.
Liang Jiafeng originally worked at Ji's Cinema, far from Xinjue Avenue, and didn't know much about the Jinjing Building. Furthermore, Luo Cheng, fearing a significant impact, had been suppressing the news, leaving Liang Jiafeng completely unaware of the recent paranormal activity at the Jinjing Building.
However, Director Du Qian was from Starlight Films and knew a lot about the suspected haunting of the newly purchased building by his boss. He stood at the door and didn't even want to go in.
If the big boss Luo Sheng hadn't personally ordered him to film in Jinjing Building and Hu Xiaoxiao hadn't agreed, he really didn't want to come.
As a director, he had to familiarize himself with the main set before filming, even if he was nervous, he had to come. Because -
People are scarier than ghosts.
The ghost might not strangle him to death, but if he didn't do it, Luo Sheng would kill him immediately.
Fortunately, he also heard that Hu Xiaoxiao had a lot of yang energy and it would be safe to be with her, so when he heard that the screenwriter was coming to inspect the set, he quickly asked Hu Xiaoxiao to come along.
"Ms. Hu, you are finally here." Du Qian didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt a chill all over his body after standing here for a while.
Hu Xiaoxiao got out of the car, took Liang Jiafeng over, and asked, "Why doesn't Director Du go in?"
"Let's go together and have some fun," Du Qian said.
Inside the Jinjing Building, because there was no business and things happened from time to time, except for a few brave staff members on duty, it was quiet everywhere.
The security guard at the door was from the Yi Hai Gang. He had received a call earlier saying that the crew members were coming over. They had also seen Hu Xiaoxiao on the opening day. When they saw the three people coming, they immediately came over to open the door and invite them in.
Du Qian stood at the door, looked in, and asked, "Didn't they say the door couldn't be opened?"
Security guard A Feng said, "It sometimes works, sometimes not. Today is the perfect day to open it."
Du Qian pointed inside again and asked, "What about the others? Are they effective today?"
A Feng spread his hands and said, "It depends on your fate."
Du Qian thought about it, moved closer to Hu Xiaoxiao, and decided to follow Hu Xiaoxiao. Whether his yang energy was sufficient or not was another matter, but at least having more people would give him courage.
Liang Jiafeng was puzzled by Du Qian's strange behavior and asked, "Isn't this building newly renovated? How come the door broke before we even started doing business? If the door is broken, why don't you replace it?"
"You ask me, but I don't know either." Du Qian was also helpless.
Hu Xiaoxiao walked in with her high heels stepping on the clean and bright floor.
The last time it opened, she had only seen the lobby of the building hotel, which was then set up as a conference venue and decorated in an exceptionally high-end manner.
This time, in addition to the lobby, we also visited the upstairs to select suitable places for shooting.
The rooms chosen were mainly the most luxurious hotel suites and the renovated top floor, which Luo Cheng planned to use as his office.
Because no one had checked into the hotel yet, only a few lights were on for lighting. Du Qian was already feeling uneasy, and seeing the dark passage made his scalp tingle.
"Turn on all the lights." Hu Xiaoxiao walked for a while, and his vision was too dim to see the layout of the hotel clearly.
A Feng, who brought them up, walked to the switch and turned on all the lights, and the hotel suddenly became bright.
Because it was newly renovated and decorated very luxuriously, the entire hotel looks like a magnificent palace.
Although no one was staying there, cleaners came to clean from time to time and everything looked spotless.
Putting aside the strange things, Du Qian was quite satisfied with this hotel.
A Feng also said: "Brother Shan said that if your crew comes to film, the hotel restaurant will be open and prepare three meals for you. There will also be breakfast and midnight snacks. Then we can also take advantage of the crew's presence and eat every meal in the restaurant."
Perhaps because the lights were on and everything was bright, Du Qian felt a little bolder and asked A Feng, "Aren't you afraid of working here?"
Ah Feng said, "No matter how fierce the ghosts are, they are not as scary as a poor ghost like me! Why would I be afraid of them?"
"So everyone who works here is as bold as you?"
"Not someone as bold as me, but someone as poor as me."
In order to maintain the building, Luo Cheng offered high salaries to the employees on duty. For the sake of money and life, there was nothing they dared not do.
Afeng had chopped people down during gang fights before. He's not afraid of anyone, so what is there to be afraid of?
There are many desperate criminals like Afeng in the Yi Hai Gang.
"What are you talking about?" Liang Jiafeng heard the conversation between the two and didn't quite understand, so he walked over and asked.
Du Qian lamented that ignorance is bliss, but was also afraid of scaring off the screenwriter and affecting the script. He said, "He said he was a little broke and asked if our crew would recruit extras. He would come and make a cameo appearance then."
Liang Jiafeng said, "It's something we can consider. We can just let him play the role of the hotel security guard in his true colors."
Ah Feng didn't expect that he could do a part-time job while at work, and said happily: "Director, I will definitely play the role of a security guard well. I like watching movies very much. I have seen a lot of movies, and I think it will be no problem for me to make my debut."
Du Qian told him: "The investment in this film is not large, so the salary you will be paid may be very low."
This was only given out of consideration for the employees of Jinjing Building and the recent availability of funds. If it were the employees of Starlight Film, they probably wouldn't even be paid. Because Hu Xiaoxiao had already said that she wouldn't receive any pay, the other salaried employees of Starlight Film would naturally work for nothing.
Liang Jiafeng had another inspiration in his mind. He asked Afeng to call a few colleagues over, looked through them all, and asked them what their specialties were.
"Special skills? Does being able to chop people count?" A Feng asked.
In the past, when the Yi Hai Gang was fighting for territory with others, he was almost always there. He became particularly good at chopping people after chopping so many times.
However, in recent years, as everyone has been looking to the long term and clean up their act, the frequent street fights have become much less frequent. To make a living, they have no choice but to work in the Yi Hai Gang's affiliated industries to earn a living.
Several other security guards also nodded, saying that they might not be able to act out other roles, but they would have no problem acting out a chopping motion, and that it would be absolutely professional and no rehearsal would be needed.
After hearing this, Liang Jiafeng said, "It's no use knowing how to chop people. You have to be able to be chopped by others."
"What's the meaning?"
"It means you play the security guard who gets hacked down."
When robbers break into the hotel, they are bound to hurt innocent people, and these security guards have to play the innocent people who are hurt.
