"Yinhuan, be careful when you go out these days. Things aren't going well in Hengdian lately." On the way to the film set, Grey Fox lowered his voice and told Yinhuan the latest news he had received.
Silver Ring asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Grey Fox: "Last night, another person died at the extras' accommodation."
Silver Ring frowned slightly: "Another death?"
She's been in Hengdian for a month, and this is already the third murder case.
Grey Fox nodded heavily: "I was at work this morning and just happened to see the paramedics carrying the body out. That person didn't die of natural causes."
"Huo Fei called yesterday and said that there have been many cases of people dying in their sleep all over the country recently. Huo Fei suspects that the demons are extracting souls. However, the truth is still unclear. The demon slayers are contacting the underworld to ask if they have received any new souls of the deceased," the white-haired man following behind Yin Huan interjected.
Silver Ring looked at White Hair: "Could it be that the devil is behind this?"
“That should be it.” White Hair: “Didn’t Yama purge the ghosts of the mortal world? The demons had no chance to take advantage of us, so they could only kill people and steal their souls.”
Upon hearing this, Yin Huan paused slightly: "Have Hei Xiong and Ta Xue investigate."
White Hair: "Not for now. Huo Fei doesn't want to involve the demon race so soon."
Silver Ring: "But people have all died."
Hearing about the dead made Yin Huan's chest feel heavy.
She knew it was Nuwa's will influencing her again, but she just couldn't control herself.
If she didn't know about this, that would be fine. But if she knew and still stood by and did nothing, it felt like a hand was squeezing her chest, causing a suffocating, extremely uncomfortable feeling.
Bai Mao lowered his head, seeing the grief on Yin Huan's face, and frowned slightly. He said, "Alright then, let Hei Xiong investigate, but we can't act rashly. Huo Fei's idea is to wait until the demon slayers confront the demons head-on before we make our move."
Although Bai Mao had been working hard in Hengdian to build his career, he was fully aware of Yin Huan's situation from the very beginning. Furthermore, he knew about the demon's affair immediately after it occurred.
Huo Fei meant that the demon race should remain inactive for the time being, hiding in the shadows as a surprise force, and then take action after the demons appeared on a large scale.
Furthermore, the demon hunters are unaware of the true situation within the demon race. If the demons rashly take action, it could easily arouse suspicion among the already suspicious demon hunters. Currently, their enemies are demons and Asuras.
Try to avoid conflict between demons and demon hunters.
Besides, the demon race is small in number and most of them are unfamiliar with the world. Even if they were sent out, they wouldn't be of much help. It would be better to save them for last and provide support.
The gray fox sighed: "The Demon Prince had one of his hands cut off by Huo Fei, and the mortal and underworld realms joined forces to purge the Yin spirits. The Demon has already shown its weakness, and it seems things won't be peaceful for him anytime soon."
"Ugh, these demons are so annoying! Can't they just behave themselves? Forget it, let's not talk about them anymore. Come on, you're going to be late for work." After making the arrangements, the gloom in Yin Huan's heart vanished.
She didn't have much affection for the human race. The reason she felt chest tightness whenever she heard that someone had been killed by a demon was simply due to the influence of Nuwa's will.
The moment she suggested that Hei Xiong and the others investigate, the unease in her chest disappeared.
Seeing that Yin Huan had changed the subject, Bai Mao took a big step and ran in front of Yin Huan, saying anxiously, "Yes, hurry up, I have a fight scene with the male lead at the Qionglin Banquet at two o'clock."
“Yes, I also have a scene this afternoon where I go with the second male lead to assassinate the first male lead,” the white-haired man quickly added.
Upon hearing that both of them had a chance, Yin Huan's dark eyes lit up, and she took off running after them, saying, "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up, hurry up!"
She'd been wanting to see how TV dramas were actually filmed for a long time. Maybe this time she'd finally get to witness the incredible, albeit low-budget, special effects...
Although it's often said online that most TV dramas use cheap, low-budget special effects in post-production, she'd only heard of what cheap special effects were, never actually seen them. She just didn't know whether cheap special effects were more impressive than the magic of the demon race.
...The idea is a bit bizarre.
Having been lazy all winter, Yin Huan had fallen behind the majority in some common sense and knowledge. After seeing the term "five-cent special effects" on Weibo, she specifically asked Ahui about it.
Ahui replied, "Post-production effects for TV dramas are called 'five-cent special effects'."
Silver Ring: "What is post-processing?"
Ahui: "When Lady White Snake casts her spells, the halo around her fingers and her ability to fly and disappear into the sky are all created with cheap special effects."
Silver Ring suddenly understood: "That's just casting a spell..."
That explanation isn't wrong... but unfortunately, the person who heard it was Silver Ring.
Although she knew how to use a computer, she didn't know that computers could create special effects. From then on, Silver Ring regarded those cheap special effects as something very powerful, even comparable to the magic of the demon race.
Once inside the film studio, Silver Ring and White Fur parted ways. She was going to see how Gray Fox filmed his movie.
As for the white-haired guy... let's forget about him. He's been playing minor roles in the film studio for so long and hasn't even gotten close to the main characters. He's definitely not worth watching.
Upon arriving at the film set, Grey Fox brought out a small folding stool and had Silver Ring sit in a corner, while he hurriedly ran off to change. Luckily, he was a male actor, and the fourth male lead, and his makeup wasn't particularly elaborate; otherwise, it would have probably taken him two hours to get his makeup done.
Yin Huan sat under the shade of a tree, her hands supporting her chin, her large eyes curiously surveying her surroundings.
When she saw the protagonist's bizarre outfit—embroidered brocade on top and jeans on the bottom—she was completely dumbfounded.
She blinked, then suddenly shuddered...
Is this how things shown on TV are filmed?
It completely overturned her understanding.
No, that's not how it was done; she doesn't admit that the TV series was filmed that way.
The women on TV are slender and have exquisite makeup; they don't wear ancient costumes on top and jeans on the bottom.
