Chapter 016 Shadow of the Movie King (16)
There was a drizzle in the afternoon, but it was not heavy and did not affect the shooting.
Jiang Lin stood under the awning, a little absent-minded.
His career is booming, and he has remained aloof from any men or women for many years and has not had any scandals.
However, he happened to meet someone who was very much in line with his aesthetic standards. When he first joined the group, that person was not very noticeable and not much attention was paid. But after three or four days, that person's entire temperament suddenly emerged and was dazzling.
He couldn't ignore him anymore, and besides, the man was interested in him.
However, this crew was very important and no mistakes could be made. She had refused and warned him, but… she was not happy to see that he was no longer courting her.
Thinking back, that person had been warned before and didn't dare to approach me again, not even to look at me for another second. But after coming back after a few days of separation, he couldn't bear the pain of missing me and couldn't help but look over. But he quickly had to look away and could only lower his head in disappointment. He should still like me, right?
All the hesitation and indecision collapsed yesterday. That person risked his life to save him yesterday. That person still cares about him and is concerned about him.
Jiang Lin looked at Yu Luo silently and took out his cell phone.
He had been interested in her from the beginning, and since that person was so affectionate towards him, then, give him a chance. How could a relationship be ruined by scandals or mistakes?
The contact information is not difficult to find. The crew has a group and everyone has noted their own number.
He took the initiative to contact the other party, and the other party must be happy and excited. The opportunity has been given, and what happens next depends on what that person does.
You can't let others catch up easily either, you have to test yourself.
When the phone call was made, to everyone's surprise, Tao Xing didn't come.
Jiang Lin held up the phone and was stunned for a long time: "What...did you say?" He suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"I'm not your assistant, why should I send you an umbrella? Will you pay me?" Tao Xing repeated.
Jiang Lin took a moment to react: "Listen carefully, it's me."
"I know, Teacher Jiang, I said I won't go, did you hear me clearly?"
Jiang Lin couldn't believe his ears. He checked several times and found out that Tao Xing really wasn't coming. He was really confused and had to keep his composure and said, "Sorry, I called the wrong number. I was going to call the assistant. Can you please notify him and send me an umbrella?"
"I don't have your assistant's phone number." Tao Xing was also puzzled. "You asked me to notify them at a certain time, but you had already made the call yourself."
Jiang Lin: "Well...okay, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Tao Xing still felt confused.
In the past two or three days, after the backlog of scenes were shot, the crew also completed the scenes in the suburbs and had to return to the city to start filming scenes of wealthy families and companies.
The entire crew relocated, but something happened and Xiao Yang suddenly quit without saying why, he just wanted to leave.
Although he was just a minor role, part of the scene had already been filmed. It was unreasonable for him to leave suddenly without even saying goodbye in advance. The director advised him to stay, but he refused.
The director was a little angry, but there was nothing he could do but let the actor go. He even changed the script and reshot a few scenes.
Aying has not split up in the past few days.
It said that it could still see the director as a ball of black gas, and not only the director, but now the assistant director, producer, etc. had also turned into black gas, but it promised not to touch the black gas, and it never touched it again.
After returning to the city, most people did not stay in one hotel. Everyone lived separately. For example, Jiang Lin had a house in the city, so he went straight back home to live.
It was not very convenient for Tao Xing when he went home. A Ying could not be too far away from him, so he had to find a place to live nearby. When Tao's father heard that he was looking for a house, he bought him one in the same community as Jiang Lin without saying a word. The community where the movie star lives is naturally extremely luxurious and high-end, with fine decoration, and you can move in right away.
When they pushed the door open, Tao Xing and the system sighed at the same time: "Being a rich young master... feels so good."
At the same time, the master they were looking for was also found. In the words of Tao's father, that "Ru Yi Taoist" was well-known and was definitely one of the best in the industry.
Tao Xing returned to his father's villa overnight to meet the master.
He was like a Taoist wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand. He looked like an immortal and reliable. He said without further ado, "There is something wrong with Jiang Lin."
Tao Xing's heart tightened: "What's going on?"
"This is actually not uncommon. Some people, in order to change their fortunes, gain wealth or fame, often resort to crooked means."
Tao's father was listening and understood immediately: "Oh, is he raising a little ghost, a Kumantong or something?" He glanced at Tao Xing and said, "Son, you really have nothing to do with him, right? I heard that raising such a thing will backfire."
"Really not. I have no interest in him at all. It is precisely because I suspect that he has a problem that I asked the master to help me." Tao Xing said, and then asked the master, "What kind of backlash method is it?"
"From his horoscope and face, I can be sure that he used crooked ways, but he didn't offer anything, but used evil magic. This evil magic absorbed the natural fortune to achieve his own goals. I don't know which wicked Taoist gave him this. The backlash effect is much more serious than raising things. Raising evil spirits, the backlash is just to make him return double what he got, and the evil magic destroys the conservation of all things. He absorbed the world's fortune, so someone must absorb the evil energy, otherwise the balance between good and evil will be unbalanced, and the world will be in turmoil."
Although this master has an sage-like demeanor, he does not speak in riddles, nor does he act in a profound way and say things that are difficult to understand.
He continued, "The person who cast the spell would never dare to unbalance the heaven and earth. He could only eliminate the evil spirit. According to the principle of this evil spell, anyone who cooperates with Emperor Jiang will be entangled by the evil spirit. These people will be unlucky and suffer endless disasters and pain. The more they cooperate and absorb, the more good fortune they will have. They will never be able to make a comeback in their lives. They will be trapped in hardship all their lives, with no peace."
"What a vicious evil spell." Tao's father said in shock, "My son said he wanted to check Jiang Lin. I thought he had taken a fancy to that girl and paid special attention to her. I know that although he has a good appearance, he was always a little short of it before. He acted in many dramas and participated in many programs. He was promoted by investors for a long time, but he just couldn't become popular. Later, he acted in an unknown web drama. The drama didn't become popular, but he became a hit overnight and won many awards. It seems that his luck has turned around all of a sudden. Of course, this cannot deny that he has accumulated a lot of experience. In addition, although he is popular, I haven't heard of anyone who has been unlucky after working with him?"
If he had this physique, no one would dare to cooperate with him long ago.
"That's because the wicked Taoist is very cunning." A Taoist named Ru Yi said, "This kind of evil magic that brings disaster to many people is not tolerated by the Xuanmen. He will also suffer if he helps the evil, so he used a covert method, not using people, but using other things to absorb the evil spirit. This thing must be inseparable from Jiang Lin." After saying that, he looked at Tao Xing.
Tao Xing already understood: "Jiang Lin's shadow?"
Father Tao was puzzled again: "So, the Taoist priest is not that evil. You see, he didn't bring disaster to the people around Jiang Lin. After all, it was Jiang Lin's shadow that bore the evil spirit. The shadow is not a living thing, and it is Jiang Lin's own. If anything really happens, it's his own fault and he should bear the consequences himself."
Rudao smiled thoughtfully, looked at Tao Xing and said, "It may not be a living thing."
"Ah, can shadows talk?" Father Tao still didn't understand.
The Taoist laughed and said, "Actor Jiang is getting more and more greedy. A little fame is not enough, he wants more. His shadow is forced to absorb more and more evil energy. That shadow has to bear the evil energy that was originally meant to be borne by many people, causing it to mutate. Recently, it can no longer bear it, so it must be released."
Tao Xing basically understood it.
When Jiang Lin began to use evil magic, the shadow took on the evil spirit and gained self-awareness.
It said it had been conscious for a long time, and that was indeed a long time, seven years since Jiang Lin became popular.
Recently, he could no longer bear it, which led to a mutation, so the shadow separated from Jiang Lin, was able to move freely, and became an independent shadow. However, it was his shadow after all, and could not be completely separated.
Absorbing evil energy must be very painful. After enduring it for seven years, Ah Ying was wary and fearful even when he fell asleep. Even if he broke away from it, he still couldn't escape. The torn apart into pieces was the concrete manifestation of absorbing the evil energy.
Tao Xing sighed softly.
Ah Ying was born out of evil spirit, in fact, he was born evil.
However, in Tao Xing's view, it is innocent and pure.
"How to release it?" he continued to ask.
A Taoist said, "I think this method was suggested to actor Jiang by the magician. Find a crew that is not well-known, with unknown directors and actors. The so-called fame and popularity are the result of human mind power. This crew does not have much mind power, so their luck in stardom is very easy to suppress. Shadow is here, and he can release the unbearable evil spirit to the crew."
As he spoke, he looked at Tao Xing again: "I think Shadow itself knows nothing. It absorbed the evil energy out of necessity and released it unintentionally. However, this crew has little telekinesis, so the evil energy will be easily absorbed by them. Sacrificing a crew can change the fortune of Actor Jiang for the next seven years."
It turns out that the black energy on the director and other people that Aying saw was caused by them absorbing too much evil energy. It said that it thought it was a part of itself and swallowed it. Yes, Aying himself was also caused by evil energy.
"That is to say..." Tao's father said, "The luck of this crew is suppressed. This drama will never be popular. The dramas they shoot in the future will not be popular either, no matter how hard they try." He slammed the table in anger, "How hopeless this is. What a sin. No, no, no, son, don't shoot anymore. Don't get close to him."
"That's not all." The Taoist said, "The shadow has been invaded by evil spirits and has mutated. Who knows what it will do. It's not certain whether the crew will live to finish filming."
Tao's father was even more shocked.
The Taoist added, "But I don't think Young Master Tao is affected." He looked at Tao Xing, "There is no evil energy in you at all. It seems that if the evil energy comes into your body, it will disappear automatically."
Tao Xing remembered that Ah Ying once said that everyone seemed black to him except him.
Maybe it's because he doesn't belong to this world.
But 080 has something to say: "Host, you are in the body of the original owner, so you have the original owner's identity. Even your birth date and horoscope are the original owner's. You are no different from other people."
But its host will not be infected by evil spirits. 080 deduced: "It's not because you don't belong to this world, but because your soul is strong, so the evil spirit can't suppress you."
Tao Xing smiled complacently and said to the Taoist, "That shadow won't do anything again."
Rudao was not surprised, nodded, and asked: "So what are you going to do with it?"
"I think..." Tao Xing paused for a moment, took a few steps, and turned back to say, "I want it to be completely separated from Jiang Lin."
