Master Swindler

Horror game: "..."

One should not expect anything from the face of a liar.

Lu Qingjia ignored this naive connotation, and then looked at the positioning of her role.

A professional liar, but he is different from the low-ranking people in the market.

Appearance is friendly, well-dressed, very deceptive.From the outside, he is a young man with a stable job and good financial conditions. At first glance, no one will associate him with a liar.

Enthusiastic, patient, and especially tolerant of the elderly and children, he is the type that old men and women like most.

But in fact, what they do is to get close to the elderly, let go of their defenses, and then defraud their pensions. It can be said to be the most insane type of liar.

Seeing this, Horror Game couldn't help but say cheaply: [Is this business familiar to someone? 】

Lu Qingjia smiled and said: "That can't be calculated like this. The scammers in the setting, the old people don't realize that they have been cheated for a certain period of time after paying out the money. Often this kind of happiness of being cared and hopeful can last for a long time. .”

"And the ghost old lady gave me money like cutting flesh, and suffered both psychological and material torture from the beginning to the end. This is what I want to see."

"My essence is not to make money, to give people a sense of happiness—even if it is a false and short-term happiness, what benefits can I get? Of course, it is more interesting to watch them cut their own thighs."

What kind of villainous remarks are these?Horror Games increasingly felt that there was something wrong with its most promising seed players.

Thinking that this guy was lying with Zhong Liyu's weird guy at the beginning, he suddenly felt that a bad pot deserves a bad lid, but he didn't know which of the two pieces of shit was more poisonous.

Horror Game quickly browsed through Lu Qingjia's biography. This guy is completely disguised in a peaceful and stable real environment.

If it wasn't for the fact that the game didn't turn hostile too quickly and the brutal behavior was unambiguous, it would have believed that this was a well-educated, elegant and cunning noble son.

Of course, apart from Lu Qingjia, the other actors are also wonderful.

A large unit on the first floor of the apartment was sorted out and used as a place for the crew to hold meetings and speak in a unified manner.

After several players got the script, they took advantage of the discussion to get together.

This time there are seven players in total, five men and two women. The five male players are all actors, and the two female players are a handyman on the set, and the other is the assistant of the lead actress.

"I'm a pervert." A chubby middle-aged player said helplessly after turning over his own script.

"I'm a gambler." The player who said this had shrewd eyes.

"I'm a junkie pickpocket." The player was surprisingly thin, and he looked like a monkey with a sharp mouth.

"I, I am a pervert whore."

"Oh~~~" The players looked at the last person.

The ticket player quickly waved his hand: "I suspect that the game discriminates against our looks, who said that we just look alike?"

There was an awkward silence in the air. The two female players didn't need to participate in the performance, so they chuckled: "Just looking at the appearance, the casting is quite suitable."

Seeing that everyone started discussing the script, the director came over cheerfully: "Is the script okay? Although it is difficult, don't be discouraged, I trust you."

"Today we set up the equipment, and the room has been arranged. After returning to the room, you should read it carefully. You must understand the role thoroughly, and your behavior must conform to the logic of the character's behavior."

He added: "Don't worry, although our crew is not rich, we don't care about the quality just to catch up with the work. We must ensure that everyone portrays the characters thoroughly."

Lu Qingjia shook the thin paper and asked the director: "The role arrangement is very clear, but the script doesn't seem to have two lines?"

The director looked ambitious: "You don't understand this, do you? Movies that are too crafty have no spirituality. As long as the characters are well portrayed, they will naturally come to life. This is the real art."

"You don't understand even after talking about it. Anyway, I will give you a task first, which is to completely become the people in the script within three days."

Everyone thinks that you, a grassroots team, are so proud, whether you can successfully make a movie or not, but you want to fly before you learn to walk.

But Lu Qingjia clapped her hands and said in agreement: "I think so too. I think the soul of a movie is the characters, and the plot is secondary. Put interesting characters in a specific environment, and they will naturally produce interesting chemistry." The reaction and wonderful conflict, it seems that the director's idea coincides with mine."

Director An glanced at this handsome boy, and was quite amazed by his appearance. Even in the popular traffic, he can be regarded as outstanding. The most rare thing is his calm demeanor.

It doesn't look like a low-level figure at all, but like a young master who came out to experience life——

How did this guy get here before?And what did he say that seemed to mean something?

Director An was a little puzzled, but the other players were not happy.

They glared at Lu Qingjia. Does this guy not know the content of the mission?What good will it do them to mix up the fart and increase the difficulty and time of filming?

Then he said to the director: "It means that the official shooting will take three days? Why did it take so long? What does it mean to become a character in the script within three days? You also know what characters these are, is it possible? Does it really teach us how to cheat with pornography, gambling, and drugs?"

"Besides, this one-day delay is all money." Several players felt that they were also worried about this low-rate movie.

Because according to experience, if the task is to ensure the success of filming, the obstacle will not only be the horror and danger from the dark, but the practical reasons will teach you how to be a human being.

The director really waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about the money, just focus on the script."

"As for pornography, gambling, drugs, and cheating, sometimes there is nothing to do for the sake of art." After speaking, without giving others a chance to refute, he said, "Well, starting tomorrow, I will do some guidance one by one. This is a unit script for us. Composed of two short stories, about the comedy of three teachings and nine streams, how can you do it without the real smell of fireworks?"

"It's okay, let's be patient. If you don't succeed in the early stage, treat it as a tidbit. When the movie is released and it becomes a hit, you will know how to thank me when you look back."

This whimsical remark left the players quite speechless.

However, there was a stinky guy in the team, Lu Qingjia said: "Well, now I am more and more optimistic about this movie. Director An is the quality that a filmmaker should have. It is not like the bad movies produced by the current assembly line on the market. film, if there are no filmmakers like An Dao in China, the entire industry will really be doomed."

Everyone looked at Lu Qingjia, and said clearly in their eyes, "Brother, you don't have to blow it up like this."

Then I heard something more eyeballed, because Lu Qingjia continued: "So is there still a lack of investment for this movie?"

"I wanted to be involved as an actor and a producer at the same time."

"How much can you pay?"

"Is 500 million enough? Considering that the movie itself doesn't require much investment, but if it's not enough, feel free to ask."

Director An's face became subtle when he heard this, and dark and hesitant flashed in his eyes: "You, where did you get so much money?"

He said with a stiff smile: "The young man's family is not bad, right? No, you have to have the financial resources and connections, so you can't afford to come to a small crew like me, right? Although the money is not too much, but it depends on your ability to operate well." It’s not a problem to look good and get a decent role.”

Everyone in the crew gasped, and the lead actress with the waist of the water snake also enthusiastically entangled her, pushing away the female player who was standing next to Lu Qingjia: "Oh, then from now on, all of us will be under Xiao Lu's favor."

But it was such a good thing, but Director An's face was not pretty, and he was about to say something to refuse.

Lu Qingjia didn't give him a chance, and said with an ambiguous expression: "I made a boyfriend before, who supported my interest, and gave me a sum of money to try the water, but it's a pity that I didn't like a reliable crew. The two of us broke up, naturally don't think about network resources, it's also fate to meet our crew."

"Don't worry, director, I won't give random pointers, and I won't destroy the structure of the film for my own role. You can write these into the contract to guarantee you the greatest creative freedom."

Everyone looked at Lu Qingjia strangely when they heard the words, and the smiling face of the leading actress of Water Snake Waist was suddenly stiffer than the hyaluronic acid on her face.

Director An breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Bao Xiaobailian, the coal boss, had given the breakup fee. He said that he had specially asked the middleman before the selection, so how could there be such a mistake.

However, Director An still went out to make a phone call, and only after he came back did he agree to Lu Qingjia's proposal.

Lu Qingjia was also happy, and transferred 200 million to the account of the crew on the spot, and the remaining balance was transferred in order according to the progress of the filming.

Half an hour after signing the contract, Lu Qingjia transformed from a simple actor to a producer.

A few players couldn't understand his foolish behavior with a lot of money, especially when he urged everyone to go out to celebrate.

Considering that the work will officially start tomorrow, it is inconvenient to travel too far, so I found a decent-looking restaurant nearby.

After drinking for three rounds, Lu Qingjia took advantage of the checkout time to chat with the boss alone.

The boss obviously didn't want to mention many things, but since Lu Qingjia ordered several bottles of Moutai and ordered a few packs of cheap cigarettes afterwards, the restaurant boss still quietly reminded him of things that many nearby residents only knew about. .

When Lu Qingjia returned to the box, Director An was so pumped that he almost slipped under the table.

Everyone helped him out and prepared to go back to that apartment - because of the previous lack of funds, that apartment was not only a shooting location, but also a temporary dormitory.

With a cigarette in his hand, Lu Qingjia suddenly said, "I have a little money now, why don't you all stay in a hotel? Anyway, a dozen or so people can't open a few rooms, and the cost is not much."

Director An was obviously so drunk, but his whole body was trembling, and his voice was distorted: "No, I have to live there."

"Why?" Lu Qingjia smiled: "Are you trying to save money? That's not the case. When I was packing my luggage earlier, I found that although the building was barely livable, the wires were old and the opening The lights only skipped the gate once, the water heater was broken, and the tap water had too many rust stains, and the color was as red as blood, so it was really not suitable for living.”

"Although the money is spent wisely, the health of the crew is the capital of the progress of the work, so there is no need to save it."

Unexpectedly, Director An became angry as soon as he heard it: "I am the director. I have the final say. You made a promise before signing the contract. Don't point fingers at my arrangement. If you want to do this, we will terminate the cooperation immediately."

Seeing this, the others quickly persuaded: "Don't be angry, this trivial matter is not enough?"

Director An swept away the drunkenness just now, and his eyes were firm enough to be a little crazy: "I want to make the most realistic movie, if you can't bear this hardship, get out of here."

Things are so ugly, if you don't want to tear your face, you can only compromise.

Everyone thought that Lu Qingjia would fight hard. After all, how could he be angry after paying money?Even several players thought that this was the purpose of his throwing money.

Unexpectedly, he compromised in an instant, as if he didn't think long enough and shouldn't question the director's intentions.

The group returned to the apartment building in an awkward atmosphere.

And when it comes to the allocation of rooms, it's a bit interesting. The director and the two staff members he brought, as well as the water snake waist and her assistant live on the first floor.

The others were assigned to a room, scattered on different floors, and the scenery inside was worthy of careful scrutiny.

For example, Lu Qingjia's room, from the bed cover and quilt to the tooth cup of the washbasin, is full of the atmosphere of the last century, with bright red and green peony flowers, red carp playing in the water and lacquered washbasin, and Bayi Factory porcelain cup.

But at the same time, there are modern electrical appliances, but the aesthetics are still red and green, which looks like the residence of the elderly.

After Lu Qingjia and a male assistant put the director to sleep, they decided to go upstairs to visit the rooms of several players who were actors, to see if the room layout was as he expected.

It turned out that they were all gathered in the middle-aged player's room on the third floor who played the role of a pervert. Seeing Lu Qingjia coming, he quickly let him in.

Lu Qingjia looked around the room for a week, and before he could speak, he heard the player thief who played the role of a drug addict laugh and said, "The surname is Anna's grandson, no wonder he must live here, so there are so many beauties."

"Beauty?"

The thief player said: "That's right, we just met upstairs and chatted for a while. A few college students who have just graduated are working as graphic models and group performers. It's cheaper to live here."

Everyone nodded: "It's indeed cheap. The rent in this kind of place plus shared sharing, the monthly rent is lower than the phone bill."

Lu Qingjia looked at a few people, as if completely forgetting that this apartment was a ghost house according to the dungeon prompt.It seems that the nearby residents are secretive during the day, just as it is obviously impossible for tenants to live in the surrounding area.

Since the few players are not complete rookies, they are not even vigilant, so those beauties are interesting.

Lu Qingjia said: "Which floor are they in?"

"Five zero three!" The thief player subconsciously said, and then said: "Aren't you with a man?"

In the end, I only saw the other party disappearing in the corner of the clothes by the door——

"Here, this kid eats both men and women."

"It's too capricious to shoot when you see a beautiful woman?"

"It's good to be handsome." Several players sighed.

It didn't take long for Director An's assistant to go upstairs with a bag of fruit, and said with a smile, "Are you all here? Save me from running around."

"Here are some fruits, share them with you."

Everyone's mouths were dry, so they were not polite. There were two male players who were not very particular. They wiped their sleeves and gnawed them.

He chewed and said vaguely: "By the way, didn't we rent the whole apartment for the filming? Are the other tenants still there?"

The assistant said: "No, I booked the show. Before I came here, the filming locations of the leading actors' rooms had been decorated. Director An is very careful, and I have to go through all the details myself."

"Hey, but we just ran into the beauty of [-]."

"What, what is [-]?" The assistant's face turned pale: "Although [-] doesn't have people living there, it's also a filming location. How could there be people?"

The complexions of several players changed drastically. The questions that they had ignored just now seemed to have no brains, but after the assistant's words, they suddenly regained their thinking ability.

"It's not good, that little white face is more dangerous than good."
