Chapter 206 [Dead, all dead]

"Why did you rent that house? Why!"

"I, I have also entered that house, will something happen to me?"

"Go away, go away!"

……

In an office on the first floor of an office building temporarily rented by the crew,
A sharp, excited female voice sounded from the studio,

Although the crew is still setting up the scene and shooting has not started yet, the actors are starting to read the script.

This happened in the previous set, only during the initial start-up period.

Later, due to one reason or another, the atmosphere in the crew was always a bit depressing. The Japanese actors were as sluggish as puppets when they arrived on the set. They gathered together in a daze, waiting for filming to start and then get off work.

Today, in the busy studio, it finally looks like a normal studio.

It seems that letting Li Zhenxi briefly get to know those Korean actors is quite helpful in stabilizing their emotions.

At least, that's the case with the actors.

As the leading actor of The Grudge, Chen Junsheng's part has been completed, and Kobayashi Akisuke has also used his life to illustrate the main line of the formation of the Grudge. Then, next is the assistant who has also stepped into this house with Chen Junsheng. .

Like Chen Junsheng, Kanda Kyoko also used her real name when filming.

But compared to Chen Junsheng who used his own experience to film, she acted according to the characters planned in the script.

"They're in a lot better shape."

Through the transparent glass, Li Xiang looked at the actors sitting together in the conference room, but the expression on his face did not relax.

As members of the crew, they didn't think Lu Zhengyi's remarks had any credibility.

Virtual technology?
Projection equipment hidden in the camera?
The camera was installed by him, the photographer, so he wouldn't know if there was any projection equipment inside?
Not to mention the photography equipment, the props, decorations, and even the makeup of Li Zhenxi and Liu Baoning were not all done by the staff.

"I really don't know why Director Lu didn't introduce Teacher Li to them earlier?"

Next to Li Xiang, makeup artist Jin Xishan asked doubtfully, "Wouldn't it be better if we did this earlier?"

"Some time ago, those of them who didn't know anything were on tenterhooks, and those of us who knew something were even more scared."

"Of course, I don't mean to complain about Director Lu. I just want to tell them some white lies earlier so that they can finish filming happily."

As she spoke, she stretched her head and looked around.

Of course, she added the last sentence on the fly.

Who knows if invisible ghosts might be wandering around them?

If you accidentally say something bad about Director Lu, you might be punished...

"Director Lu must also have Director Lu's considerations."

Gao Changyu, a new member of the props team, also laughed, "I have been paying attention to Director Lu's works and news in China. He has always pursued authenticity when filming."

"Some time ago, although these actors were on tenterhooks, their reactions were real enough."

"After filming this, coupled with... well, such realistic special effects, I think it might be possible to broadcast it here in the country."

Those actors can be deceived, and they and the staff are not clear about it. There is something wrong with this crew.

But compared to those actors, some of the 'seniors' in their crew still gave them a lot of advice, so that they wouldn't have to worry about whether there was anything wrong with them all day long.

There are ghosts, and ghosts are quite easy to get along with.

Director Lu is also an expert himself.

The crew can guarantee safety, and the pay will be much higher than that of an ordinary crew.

They have a small group of their own. Summarizing the words of these senior crew members, it can be roughly summarized in these three points.

"Hey, what can I do with all this?"

Among them, Liu Mingzhi, who was a member of the field management team and had always been relatively calm, spoke up, "Even if there are ghosts, and they are serious ghosts, I have to take pictures."

"My mother is still waiting for chemotherapy in the hospital. Once a month, it costs several thousand. After that, there are all kinds of imported medicines. The mortgage has not been paid off yet. If the money is not paid when it is due, I will Even the place to live had to be taken away, and several members of the family were forced to sleep on the streets.”

"Except for Director Lu's crew, no crew can afford to pay all my debts."

As he said that, he paused and his eyes fell on the others, "Actually, you should be about the same, right? There are all kinds of bad things at home waiting to be dealt with."

"I have roughly learned about it during this period. When Director Lu recruits people, he usually recruits people who have a lot of pressure in life. Maybe this is so that he can restrain us and let us keep these things secret."

"The pressure of life is the chain that Lu Zhengyi ties around our necks!"

After these few words were spoken, the others fell silent.

In fact, what Liu Mingzhi said is right.

Even if they knew there was a ghost, no matter what, they would still choose to stay.

Even without the comfort of those senior crew members, they would choose to stay, as long as they can ensure their safety and have legal sources of income.

"Actually, you can't say that."

But at this moment, a voice suddenly intervened in their conversation.

The few people who had been silent at first tensed up and looked around.

"Sorry, sorry, I was just passing by and I really didn't eavesdrop on you."

Wang Xiaoxu revealed his figure, "The filming is about to start over there. I was planning to go over there to prepare, but I accidentally heard it."

Suddenly, Li Xiang and others froze, looking at him blankly.

"Hehe, actually according to Director Lu's wishes, I shouldn't show my face in front of you. After all, you are still in the probation period." Wang Xiaoxu smiled cheerfully, "But after hearing what you said, I really couldn't hold it back. .”

As he spoke, he looked at the glances coming from not far away, quickly clasped his hands together, and then said nervously, "Quick, quick, quick, stand in front of me and help me block them."

"If Director Lu sees it, I will be lectured."

"What are you doing standing around, brothers?"

The stunned people listened to Wang Xiaoxu's urging and quickly stepped forward to help him block the sight of others.

However, their moods were a bit complicated.

This is... a ghost?

In front of me, the guy leaning against the wall with a gentle smile was clearly a human being.

This is very different from the ghost they imagined.

If being a ghost is like this, then death doesn't actually seem that scary.

"It feels like you guys have misunderstood something."

Probably because he had been pondering and observing people's psychology, movements, and demeanor during this period, Wang Xiaoxu looked at their suddenly enlightened looks and roughly guessed what they were thinking, "Not everyone can follow them after death. I also became a ghost."

"And it seems that after some people become ghosts, they become very scary, slowly lose their humanity, and become... another kind of person."

"But I haven't seen it before. I heard that there was a ghost like this in the crew before."

Li Xiang and others stood there blankly, listening to his explanation, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.

Do they want to chat with this ghost?
"After hearing what you just said, I can't help but defend Director Lu."

Wang Xiaoxu looked at them without saying anything, and then said what they had just said, "Although Director Lu likes to recruit people who have difficulties in life, there is nothing wrong with this."

"As you may have guessed, Director Lu thinks this can better restrain you and keep you secret. This should be right."

"But based on my personal understanding of Director Lu, I think besides these, there are some bigger reasons. He will recruit you into the team because your conduct is correct enough and your work ability is good enough."

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Mingzhi, "A gentleman doesn't care about his heart when it comes to his deeds. There is no perfect person in the world. To judge a person's character, in fact, the easiest way is to see what decisions he makes in the most difficult times. "

"If a person can try his best to restrain himself in extremely difficult circumstances, no matter what you think in your heart, you can persist in taking care of your sick parents and pay off the debt owed by the gambler's father. , or even..." Wang Xiaoxu looked at Li Xiang, but ultimately did not tell him the reason for his difficulty.

"In short, you have also seen the serious attitude of the other people in the crew towards their work and their uniqueness like me." He looked at them with a smile, "If we recruit people with incompetence and poor conduct, It will probably cause a lot of troubles."

"It would be even more troublesome if some weird people wanted to take pictures of these things and post them online to cause some sensation."

"Of course, since Director Lu chose to establish a crew, he naturally has the ability to solve these problems, but some things are best if they can be avoided."

Li Xiang was the first to speak, "I won't do this kind of thing where you make money but lose your life."

What a joke, people can invite ghosts, how can it be so easy to save a life?

"Yes, yes, I won't do such a mindless thing."

Jin Xishan also quickly proved himself.

"And even if it were actually filmed, who would believe it if there are so many special effects in today's society?" Gao Changyu also said, "There used to be similar rumors about you on the Internet, but how many people really believe it? No. They all think it’s hype.”

Liu Mingzhi said nothing.

He listened to and remembered what the ghost in front of him said, but whether he believed in these 'justifications' or not, he needed time.

Whether it was true or false, none of them said anything unpleasant.

After all, this very human guy in front of me is a ghost.

"In short, try your best to adapt to the crew and join this crew. I think this is a good thing for you." Wang Xiaoxu acted like an old man, "I was also a worker when I was alive. I know very well that from childhood to It’s a little bit harder to get rid of some of the concepts and pressures that lock us in. But here, you may be able to do it.”

Join the cast?

Li Xiang and others were a little confused. What do you mean?
Are they not considered to have joined the crew now?
Seeing their confused expressions, Wang Xiaoxu understood something and scratched his head in embarrassment.

In fact, Bai Wei and Ajie were originally responsible for these words.

At this moment, field recorder Bai Wei came over and said, "Xiaoxu, are you going a little too fast with this process?"

He looked a little helpless.

Originally, the first stage of training was to make these newcomers roughly aware of the existence of ghosts.

The second stage is to show them the employee code of conduct, entry instructions, and the contract of the May Civet Cat staff, so that they can understand some of the characteristics of ghosts and be wary of special players and items before arranging to meet with special beings like Wang Xiaoxu. .

Finally, Director Lu presented the contract and officially signed the contract.

But now, Wang Xiaoxu directly skipped some of the previous things he should have understood and appeared directly in front of these newcomers.

"Hey, Viagra, I'm sorry~"

Wang Xiaoxu smiled awkwardly, "It's time for me to get ready to start shooting. I slipped away."

With that said, he disappeared directly and left.

The remaining newcomers looked at Bai Wei nervously, wondering what the consequences would be if they knew this in advance.

Bai Wei looked at them helplessly and said:
"Since you have all seen it, I won't hide it."

"Actually, regarding your situation, we have been observing it for a long time since the filming, and your performance is not bad."

"We'll finish the work later. When you return to the hotel, come to my room together. I'll show you some documents and give you some instructions. If there's no problem, I hope we can cooperate for a long time."

……

……

"How about it, Teacher Abu Kuan, watching in front of the monitor will feel completely different from shooting in front of the camera."

One of the rooms in the office building,
In front of several stacked director monitors, Lu Zhengyi was asking Abu Kuan next to him with a smile on his face.

The next few scenes will not be filmed in Kayako's house for the time being.

But within the 'media company', of course, in the plot.

According to Chen Junsheng's side plot, he was invited by the media company in Heguo to film in Heguo.

Then, the relevant person in charge rented Kayako's 'mansion' and provided it to him as a temporary residence.

Chen Junsheng's scene has been completed, and the scene of Kanda Kyoko escaping from the mansion will naturally take place in this media company.

"Yes, right."

Abu Kuan smiled reluctantly.

To be honest, he no longer knew what mentality to use to face this crew.

A man in his 50s was frightened by his opponent's actor during the filming of a horror movie.

If this spreads out, I'm afraid they will be laughed to death.

After meeting Li Zhenxi and Liu Baoning, he has accepted that the crew really used virtual technology to shoot.

It's impossible not to accept it, and it can't be explained.

"It's time to start."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him and used the walkie-talkie to give orders to other people on the set.

Following his instructions, the people in the surveillance cameras began to withdraw, leaving only the actors.

"Where did you find this script?"

In the camera, in the conference room,

A bald man wearing glasses was using a skillful dialect and asked casually, "In terms of plot, it's very ordinary. It's just a story about a woman who died with a grudge and killed people everywhere. There's nothing new about it."

On the whiteboard in front of the conference table, the words "curse", "filming crew", "filming funds"... were written in Japanese.

"I heard that the screenwriter adapted it based on real events."

Next to him, another middle-aged man replied.

As soon as these words were spoken, the bald man who had just asked the question said, "Huh? No, it's adapted from real events."

His eyes widened and he tried to look frightened.

But the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't hide the fact that he didn't take it seriously at all.

"I have heard similar rumors, but most of them are false."

Another woman said, "These urban legends come from the mouths of some high school students. Well, at their age, they like to think about weird things and attract other people's attention. It's normal."

"But Mr. Chen Junsheng is willing to accept our invitation. It is not easy to act in Heguo."

Then, someone else replied excitedly, "I have already arranged to check in at the location where I will be filming. The director said that it will take a period of preparation. During this period, Chen Junsheng can have a good feel of our country's culture. It will be convenient for filming when the time comes.”

"With Mr. Chen Junsheng participating, our film will definitely be successful."

Speaking of Chen Junsheng, none of them could hide the excitement in their voices.

That was Chen Junsheng, whose popularity in China was almost equal to that of a national idol.

If you invite him to participate in the film, you won't have to worry about the box office.

"boom!"

But then, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A woman burst into the house angrily, "Why do you still rent a house like that when you know it's wrong?"

"Dead, all dead!"

"The workers who were arranged to clean up the room and decorate it all died!"
