The years I worked as a Feng Shui consultant in the entertainment industry

Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and Yuan Mei's "Zi Buyu" both have descriptions of ghosts. To put it simply, whether a tiger can be controlled by a ghost is often the criterion for whether a tiger becomes a spirit.

The tiger bones that the second uncle needed were not those of ordinary tigers, but those of tiger spirits.

"Second uncle, what do you want to exchange for him?"

I asked.

Since the second uncle has no friendship with this Xiong Lai, he definitely can't take his tiger bones for free.

"To see him!"

The second uncle spit out the cigarette in his mouth and said: "That tiger, the bear came and took the tiger's claws, tiger teeth and tiger's eyebrow bone. I want very little, it can be the tiger's eyebrow bone or tiger tooth!"

While talking, Mount Wutai arrived.

Xiong Lai's retreat is not on the main mountain, but on the back of the mountain, or in an undeveloped area.

In places like this, scenic spots usually put up signs outside to warn tourists and travelers not to enter.

It was getting very late now, so instead of going into the mountains, my second uncle and I found a hotel to stay temporarily.

After driving for a day, my second uncle and I were also tired. After a simple bite, our second uncle and I fell asleep separately.

I slept until midnight when a phone call woke me up.

If you can make a call at this time, don't think about it, there must be something urgent.

I squinted my eyes and looked at my phone. The call was from a.

"Hey?"

After picking it up, there was a cry inside.

"Don't cry, let's talk about something!" I frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Well, I...don't...don't cry..."

On the other end of the phone, A could barely control his emotions.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" I tried to control the volume and make my voice calmer.

A was sobbing, and after a while, she said that a good friend of hers died.

A said that after so many years in the industry, she has not made any friends at all. She said that people in the entertainment industry are all out for themselves and there is no true friendship at all.

The one who died was a friend from outside her inner circle.

A said that she looked glamorous, but actually had a lot of helplessness.

I listened but did not speak.

A's mood is unstable, so there is no need for me to provoke her with words.

A just chatted with me, talking about her difficulties, her helplessness due to unspoken rules, her desire to marry a wealthy family, and various secrets in the industry.

I remained silent and just listened to her.

This phone call lasted for nearly two hours. At the end of the conversation, A said he fell asleep.

Through a's mouth, I learned some secrets in the industry.

What A is talking about this time is not about celebrities being paid by financial sponsors, nor about celebrities having sex with each other. What she is talking about is something between the production company and the TV station.

For example, the director in charge of the introduction of TV series at a certain TV station is a middle-aged old woman. When the production company talks about cooperation, it must bring along male stars who suit the old woman's taste.

If this old woman likes fresh meat, then the production company will bring small fresh meat. If she likes old bacon, then she will bring old bacon.

If you don’t like men but like women, then bring female stars.

Invariably, there are all kinds of groveling for those who have the resources.

a said that she had attended such a banquet more than once, and had accompanied both men and women.

A said that what really disgusted her were those old women.

She said that many of the old women on TV stations are perverts.

In addition to these, she also said that some film and television companies are actually the white gloves of the powerful. She also said that the daughter-in-law of a certain film and television company boss is actually a social butterfly who specializes in pimping for her boss husband.

This time A revealed more information than the previous times combined.

It can be seen that the death of her friend has greatly stimulated her.

I never expected that I could learn these secrets from A's mouth in this way.

The most explosive news was the news that A broke before going to bed. She said that an actress in the Beijing circle was treated as a Yangzhou skinny horse by her family when she was very young.

It goes without saying what Yangzhou thin horse is, everyone understands it.

What is the thinking of this actress's family, treating their daughter like a skinny horse?

The only pity is that a fell asleep before he could say the actress's name.

Of course, it is also possible that person A realized that he had made a mistake, said something he shouldn't have said, and pretended to be asleep.

No matter what it was, this phone call aroused my passion for gossip.

After sleeping for a while, the first time I woke up, I had this phone call with my second uncle.

The second uncle was very calm about this.

"No circle is clean, such as the real estate circle or the financial circle. You just don't understand these circles. Once you understand them, you will find that these circles are not much better than the entertainment circle!"

The second uncle didn't show any surprise after hearing this, but he said this.

The meaning is very simple, the world is as dark as crows.

To prove it, my second uncle told me some information.

This information comes from both the real estate circle and the financial circle.

After hearing this, my butt was pulled with a knife again, but this time my eyes were opened wider than before.

In the financial circle, several director-level managers have a chaotic relationship with each other.

What shocked me the most was a source from the real estate industry. There was a boss who came up with a twelve-gold hairpin, and he was able to spend as much money as he wanted.

Just these two ingredients are enough for me to digest for a while.

No matter how shocked I was, after breakfast, I put my thoughts away and purchased some items needed to enter the mountain with my second uncle.

After purchasing, my second uncle and I took Dahei into the mountains.

The first section of the road was okay, at least we could see the road. As my second uncle and I went deeper, we could no longer see the proper road and even had to make our own way.

"Second uncle, why did this fool come here to live in seclusion?"

I'm a little confused.

This is not seclusion, it is simply suffering.

Could it be that this fool was emotionally hit?

"You'll know when you get there!" The second uncle looked up and said calmly.

I didn't expect that this trip would take two days.

Two days later, I met the fool my second uncle called Xiong Lai in a dilapidated Taoist temple built halfway up the mountain.
