I Used Non-humans as Actors for Those Years

"Mr. Zhong, I'm here!" A man in a suit and leather shoes saw Zhong Jiudao and waved to him.

Zhong Jiudao dragged a huge suitcase towards the man in the suit. He stopped 1.5 meters away from the man in the suit, nodded to him politely and distantly, and said, "I didn't see the house."

The man in the suit is the real estate agency that Zhong Jiudao is looking for. He wants to rent a villa with a bit of history. The real estate agent brought him to see the house today.

"It's near here, head northwest, and it's about two kilometers away." The agent said.

Zhong Jiudao looked at his big suitcase and the road surface that had been in disrepair for a long time, and felt that it might be difficult to walk two kilometers.

"It doesn't matter. I have photos of the house in my photo album, and I brought the contract too. Mr. Zhong, if you are satisfied with the photos, we can sign the contract here." The agent said.

He looked like he was unwilling to go to that house, Zhong Jiudao lightly drew a pattern on the palm of his right hand with his left index finger, then he raised his right hand, and swiped his palm in front of the intermediary's eyebrows.

The intermediary was stunned for a moment, and now Zhong Jiudao spread his hands to him and said, "Show me the photos."

The agent opened his mouth, and the truth came out uncontrollably: "Don't look at it, it's all carefully printed, the goods are not right, the house has been unoccupied for two or three years, and no one has repaired it, now it's full of dust and cobwebs , I'll find you the photos of P before."

Zhong Jiudao took the mobile phone from the agent, looked at the real photos of the house, and saw that the overall structure of the bungalow is quite complete. Although this is a house from the last century, the building materials are good and the design is good, and it is still solid after a hundred years.The owner of the house has probably renovated it in recent years. On the basis of retaining the original characteristics of the house, water and electricity facilities have been added. The bathroom and kitchen are very modern, which has a sense of history and convenience.

"The house is nice, and it will be beautiful after cleaning. Why do you need a P picture?" Zhong Jiudao asked.

"Who dares to go there! It's a well-known haunted house. After the owner renovated the house, disasters continued. He couldn't sell it, so it was listed in our company for rent and sale. After I took over the house, I went to take a few photos. , I was sick for several days after I came back!" After speaking, the intermediary was shocked by his honesty, and slapped himself hard on the mouth.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhong Jiudao asked.

"I told you earlier, do you still dare to rent? Even if you are willing to rent, the haunted house is easy to bargain. I doubled the price set by the owner, and told you not to lower the price?" The intermediary slapped itself after speaking , He felt like he was possessed by a demon, why did he talk about everything?

"I recorded what you said just now, can I sue your company for defrauding customers?"

The agent hurriedly stopped Zhong Jiu and said, "Don't, don't! In this way, I will rent the house to you at the lowest price set by the landlord, and the agency fee will also be reduced by 20%, okay?"

Zhong Jiudao looked at the agent.

"50% off the agency fee! Or I'll find you a better house!" the agency said anxiously.

"No, this house is pretty good. There are many rooms, large space, beautiful decoration, and historical color. Most importantly, the price is cheap. There is no better house than this. I can sign the contract now." Zhong Jiudao explain.

The intermediary breathed a sigh of relief, took out the briefcase, filled in the price on the standard contract, and asked Zhong Jiudao to sign it.

Zhong Jiudao signed and paid the money, and rented for one year according to the minimum period stipulated by the landlord. He knew that this was a haunted house but he still rented it. What a weirdo.

"Mr. Zhong, this house is really a bit evil, why did you rent it?" the agent asked puzzled.

"I'm a director, and I need a house like this for filming." Zhong Jiudao raised his hand and shook it in front of the agent, as if retracting something.

Then he said to the intermediary: "In the future, you must be honest."

After all, Zhong Jiudao picked up the box effortlessly and walked steadily towards the haunted house.He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and the 32-inch large suitcase was proposed by him to feel like a 20-inch boarding suitcase.

The agent kept watching him out of sight, and then said to himself: "What's wrong with my mouth today? Tell the truth!"

Compared with the annoyance of the intermediary, Zhong Jiudao, who rented a suitable house at a super low price, is in a good mood.

When Zhong Jiudao took the college entrance examination, he did not choose the school carefully arranged for him by his family. Instead, he secretly took the art test behind everyone's back and passed the director department of a well-known film and television school. His father was so angry that he threatened to sever the father-son relationship with him and let him Never enter the house again.

Zhong Jiudao was unable to go home for two full years during his college years. It was his mother who made peace and his father reluctantly let him go home for the New Year, but he still could not accept his choice and asked him to cross majors after graduation to take the university they expected. postgraduate.

Zhong Jiudao has a dream of being a director, and he wants to present the stories in his heart on the big screen, and he insists on taking this path.

Both father and son are very stubborn, and in the end they can only make a ten-year agreement. Zhong Jiudao can freely enter the entertainment industry within ten years after graduation. If he fails to achieve results, he must go home and work in the career arranged by his family.

Zhong's father also threatened that Zhong Jiudao should not expect any assistance from his family when he was filming, and told all his colleagues not to invest in Zhong Jiudao's projects.

Zhong Jiudao graduated from university this year, and the ten-year contract has begun. He is preparing for his first film in his life.

There is no way to get investment from past contacts, Zhong Jiudao can only use the 200 million yuan he earned from work-study programs and mysterious odd jobs during college to film movies. The funds are very tight, and he can only save money from every detail.

Zhong Jiudao originally planned to rent this house for only three months, but unfortunately it is a long-term rental house. The landlord requires a minimum of one year, and cannot rent for several months.Fortunately, this is a haunted house, and the rent was cut by more than half, which saved a lot of money.

Zhong Jiudao walked two kilometers with a heavy box and came to the gate.

This is a detached garden house with a large yard and a very high door.The courtyard is full of trees, which have grown into towering giant trees over the past century, luxuriantly surrounding the courtyard, blocking the sun, and making the whole house look gloomy while being cool.

Zhong Jiudao looked up and saw that the sun had just sunk into the western horizon, dusk had come.

He took out a bunch of keys given by the intermediary, opened the dilapidated door, pushed the door open, and the courtyard was a different scene.

In the real photos given by the agent, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds and fallen leaves are piled up everywhere, and the whole house is covered with creepers, and the house looks very depressed.

But when the door was opened, there were no fallen leaves in the yard, and the weeds in the garden were pulled out by someone, and the dark red flowers were planted.

Under the faint sunlight left at dusk, the flowers in the garden spit out blood-red stamens gently. If you look closely, you can easily see this flower as the face of a beautiful woman, and the stamens are the blood-red lips.

The stone road in front of the door is spotless, and the luxurious bungalow is located at the end of the stone road, surrounded by countless dark red flowers, like the entrance to another world.

Zhong Jiudao walked on this stone road full of history, and faced this strange scene, he smiled slightly: "It saves the money for cleaning."

As the last ray of sunlight disappeared below the horizon, the yard with too many towering giant trees grew darker faster than the outside world. Standing outside the bungalow, Zhong Jiudao saw candlelight lit in the window on the second floor.

Ordinary people would be frightened to flee quickly when they saw this scene, but how could Zhong Jiudao abandon this cheap house that he had finally rented? He used the key to unlock the big rusty lock and pushed open the door of the bungalow.

With a "squeak", the old wooden door was pushed open, and a piercing cold wind blew out from the house.

There are countless oil lamps hanging on the wall of the lobby on the first floor. As Zhong Jiudao walked in, the oil lamps lit up one by one, shining a faint turquoise light, illuminating the entire first floor.

Zhong Jiudao frowned: "Didn't you say that the electricity is on? Why are you still lighting candles. The shooting equipment needs electricity, and the mobile phone must be charged."

After speaking, he ignored the weird sight and strode in to find the power source.

As soon as Zhong Jiudao entered the door, a woman in a white cheongsam appeared in front of the door. She was holding a red candle, and her face flickered under the light of the candle, like a ghost floating in the hall.

She walked very lightly, with no footsteps at all, walking like floating, quietly came behind Zhong Jiudao, stretched out her hand to Zhong Jiudao, and said quietly: "This is not where you should come, go quickly."

Suddenly there was a sound like a devil crying behind him. Zhong Jiudao looked back expressionlessly, saw the overly long nails on the woman's pale fingers, and said calmly, "Why is this not the place I should come? I rented this. I am now It's the owner, who are you? How did you appear in my house? It's you who should go. "

He also took out the lease contract, revealing the signature and official seal with legal effect, and a copy of the power of attorney from the landlord to the intermediary company attached to the contract, which is reasonable, reasonable and legal, and cannot be questioned.

The woman in white was dazzled by the contract, she slowly withdrew her hand, held the candle and floated two steps back, distanced herself from Zhong Jiudao, and then whispered: "Little girl... already lives in this house for a long time."

"Oh? How long? Do you have the right of residence? If you don't have evidence to prove your right of residence, you should leave here, otherwise you will violate my property rights." Zhong Jiudao asked.

He found the light switch on the wall and pressed it. With a snap, the lights above the hall turned on, illuminating the entire hall brightly, as if it were daytime. The woman in the white cheongsam was dazzled by the light, and stretched out her hand to block it.

Zhong Jiudao glanced at the woman's feet and saw that she was no shadow under the bright light. He understood, turned off the light again, and muttered: "This house is too big, and it takes too much electricity to turn on all the lights. Let’s save money for now.”

When the lights went out, the woman in white obviously breathed a sigh of relief. She looked quietly at Zhong Jiudao and said in a low voice, "My concubine has really lived in this house for a hundred years."

"In some foreign countries, if you live for a long time, you will automatically have the right of residence, and the homeowner has no right to evict the tenants. But our country has no such regulations for the time being. Unless you have a contract that the homeowner grants the right of residence, you will have to move. Get out." Zhong Jiudao made a "please" gesture to the woman in white, then ignored her, and walked to the second floor after visiting the first floor.

The moment he turned on the light just now, Zhong Jiudao had a panoramic view of the structure on the first floor. The dust and cobwebs on the walls were cleaned up by someone, and a figure flashed past in the servant's room in the corner, apparently also living there. what.

The second floor is the bedroom. The stairs are a bit old, and there will be a "squeak" sound when stepping on them. Zhong Jiudao stopped after taking two steps. Looking back, the woman in white didn't follow, but held her hand. Holding the candle, she looked up at him resentfully.

"Why didn't you come up?" Zhong Jiudao asked, "It doesn't matter if you don't come up, just lend me the candle, my phone is running out of battery, so it's inconvenient to use a flashlight."

The woman in white: "..."

Before she said anything, a woman in a foreign dress stood at the end of the stairs and said to Zhong Jiudao: "Because the upstairs is my place, she is not worthy of a lowly concubine."

The woman in white was on the first floor, with resentment and fear in her expression.

"It's so old that you still talk about such dregs," Zhong Jiudao shook his head, "Other people will live in my house for filming in a few days, so move as soon as possible."

The face of the woman in the dress became ferocious, her pretty face was distorted, blood flowed from her forehead, her whole head became fragmented, she flew down from upstairs, and screamed hysterically at Zhong Jiudao: "Since you don't want to get out, die! "

Zhong Jiudao did not change his expression and dodged to avoid the attack of the woman in a foreign dress, but the stairs wobbled under his feet, as if he was about to throw Zhong Jiudao down the stairs.

Zhong Jiudao stood firmly, but the big box wobbled and fell to the ground. Zhong Jiudao had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and held the box in time.

Now, his expression finally changed.

"You are so nice to ask you to vacate the house, but you still want to destroy my property." Zhong Jiudao was a little angry. This box was a very expensive video camera he rented. If it really broke, how would he pay for it?

Zhong Jiudao was drawing something in the air with his left hand, and a silver charm appeared in the void quickly. His speed of drawing the charm was fast and steady, and the spell was formed in less than a second.

Zhong Jiudao pointed a finger, and the talisman flew towards the woman in the dress at high speed.

The woman in the dress was hit by a silver talisman, and the talisman without talisman paper and cinnabar was so powerful that it hit the woman in the dress to the ceiling with one move.

The pattern on the charm wrapped around the woman in the suit, bursting with silver light, and the faint sound of thunder flashed past her ears.

The woman in a dress was nailed to the ceiling chandelier by a spell, and the lightning flashed, providing enough power for the chandelier, and the indoor lights turned on again.

Zhong Jiudao showed a dazed look, nodded and said, "It turns out that the Five Thunder Talisman has such power-saving usages, but the current is unstable, and it is easy to burn out electrical appliances. It needs to be improved."

After thinking for a while, he quickly drew a few strokes in the air, weakening the power of the Five Thunder Talisman, and changing it to a steady and continuous attack.

Thunder and fire spells would react only when encountering yin or evil spirits, and in the hands of ordinary people, they were just a piece of ordinary talisman paper.At this moment, this improved version of the five thunder talisman that continuously outputs is firmly locked on the woman in the dress, and it is steadily outputting current when encountering evil spirits.

The hall was brightly lit. Zhong Jiudao stood on the stairs, holding his suitcase steady, and looked down under the bright daylight.

The ghosts hiding in the corner of the haunted house saw the woman in a dress on the ceiling acting as a power source, and they were so scared that they hugged their cold bodies, closed their bloody mouths tightly, and dared not make a sound.

Zhong Jiudao was satisfied when he saw that the house had finally calmed down. He went upstairs to visit his future filming location.
