I Used Non-humans as Actors for Those Years

Zhong Jiudao has been dealing with ghosts since he was very young, and he has studied them quite well.

Although Li Gui was once a human being, due to the influence of death and resentment, his way of thinking is completely different from that of human beings.

They are paranoid, stubborn, and one-sided, unable to view problems macroscopically and dialectically.Death took away most of their rationality and thinking ability, and what kept them in the world was obsession and resentment, and they could only wait for these negative factors to observe the world, which cannot be changed.

After all, normal ghosts without grievances have all left the world. Resentment and obsession are the reasons why ghosts stay in this world. If these are changed, they will cease to exist.

Don't try to communicate with them, either defeat them or be defeated by them, this is the teaching that Zhong Jiudao has received since he was a child.

Although he has never made a movie, Zhong Jiudao shot many short films when he was in school, and also practiced in some crews.After seeing his works, his mentor once told him that he is quite talented in shooting skills. Zhong Jiudao has a sense of pictures in his mind, and he can perfectly present the pictures through skills.

There's nothing wrong with his approach to filming, but he's missing something pure.

"You have a stable personality, don't panic when dealing with things, and can look at problems from the perspective of a bystander at any time. This is an advantage in dealing with people in the world, but it is a disadvantage in artistic creation." The instructor said meaningfully, " Your work lacks some extreme and impactful things, and it cannot reach people's hearts. Don't always be so steady, try to be crazy, there is only a thin line between a genius and a madman."

According to the teacher's teaching, Zhong Jiudao couldn't do it.

Because keeping upright and avoiding evil, you need to control your heart and be a person who is not moved by external things.Excessively strong emotions will be used by ghosts to confuse the mind. In the confrontation with these ghosts, if there is a slight difference, it will be lost.

Zhong Jiudao has received this kind of training since he was a child, which runs counter to art.

For the student Zhong Jiudao, the instructor cherishes his talent and regrets it.

He is like a perfect learning machine, able to present the best picture.Unlike other students, the work is full of mistakes and omissions, and it looks rough and inferior.

But art can be flawed, but it cannot be without emotions.

The person who tied the bell had to be untied, and the sequelae of exorcising ghosts seemed to find a solution from these ghosts.

Looking at these ghosts with different ideas, Zhong Jiudao couldn't help thinking of his new play.

Among the several short videos that Zhong Jiudao has shot, the only one approved by the instructor is a horror and suspense video.

It's not that the story is well told, but that Zhong Jiudao is simply talented in shooting horror atmospheres. He seems to have seen how evil spirits harm people with his own eyes. The pictures he shows are not bloody. But it can make my heart cold.

For the first time leading a movie, Zhong Jiudao naturally chose the horror theme he is best at.

Zhong Jiudao took out the script of the new movie. Due to the serious shortage of funds of the film crew, he could not afford to hire an excellent screenwriter. His script was purchased in a studio that was not very professional.

Because of poor empathy and Zhong Jiudao is not a professional screenwriter, it is difficult to complete the script independently. The short video scripts he shot during school are basically the original scripts he bought.Now that he is making a movie, he also went to the studio he often works with to buy scripts, but short videos are different from long videos, and in order to control expenses, Zhong Jiudao bought scripts that were too ordinary and routine, and the reversal was also very blunt. Jiu Dao was not very satisfied, and personally changed it several times, but he always felt that it was not good enough.

The story is about a group of college students who coincidentally received an invitation from a high school classmate during the summer vacation. The classmate claimed that he had recently moved to a new house and invited his friends to come and play.

When this group of young people came to their classmate's house, they found that it was an unimaginably luxurious villa with a long history.They thought it was very strange, because this classmate usually dressed plainly, so they couldn't see that his family background was so rich.

The classmate's parents were wearing cheongsams and gowns, and the nanny driver at home called the owner very feudal. The students seemed to be in the old society.

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, they stayed in the villa that night, woke up in the middle of the night, and discovered an extremely terrifying scene.Everyone wanted to escape, but they saw that the doors and windows were locked, and the classmate's family was smiling strangely at them.

The villa turned into a big labyrinth. In order to escape, several students had to find the reason why the classmate's family became like this.After a thrilling fight and escape, only the hero and heroine managed to leave the villa.The hero looked back at the villa for the rest of his life, but saw a person who looked exactly like the heroine quietly looking at him on the second floor of the villa.

In the current era, the story is not brilliant, and with Zhong Jiudao's current conditions, he can only complete this level of script.If you want to give some highlights on the basis of completion, you need to think about the characters carefully.

If Zhong Jiudao has sufficient funds, he can hire some well-known actors with acting skills, and the actors themselves can fill in the gaps in the roles.But he has no money, and the only ones he can afford are ordinary students who are studying at the film and television academy or have just graduated. Among these people, there are also talented and talented actors, but finding such actors is like finding a needle in a haystack, and requires excellent luck.

The best way is that Zhong Jiudao personally writes the biographies of the characters. He has each character image in his mind, and then he guides the acting one-on-one according to the characteristics of the actors. bright role.

Zhong Jiudao glanced across the group of ghosts, and secretly made a decision in his heart.

The ghost in a suit was lying in front of the DVD player changing discs. Feeling Zhong Jiudao's gaze on it, his whole soul froze immediately, and he concealed himself, leaving only a disc floating in the air strangely.

The number of ghosts in the theater increased at some point, and a middle-aged woman with a simple face was standing at the door, holding a rag. She should be Aunt Yang who had been diligently cleaning the villa.Seeing Zhong Jiudao found herself, Aunt Yang smiled awkwardly, picked up a rag and wiped the door: "My lord, I'm here to clean the room."

Aunt Yang found an excuse, and the whole ghost immediately felt confident, and simply ran into the house to wipe the glass. It also enthusiastically asked Zhong Jiu, "Master Tianshi, do you want to wash your clothes?"

It would be fine if everyone had no excuses. Aunt Yang's reason made the group of ghosts feel awkward, and the suit ghost also showed up excitedly: "I have studied abroad and know some Western things. I will change it for adults. You don't have to do it yourself."

After all, he stubbornly stuffed the CD into the CD-ROM drive, saying that he wanted to watch another movie.

The candle in the white cheongsam's hand turned into a jug and wine glass. It poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zhong Jiudao, with a more poignant expression, like a blooming white lotus: "I don't have any skills, so I can only drink with you to cheer you up. The concubine can also sing some ditties, do you want to listen to it?"

Zhong Jiu said: "..."

For the first time, he discovered that the spiritual life of ghosts is so lacking. In order to watch a few movies, they can be so complacent. What is the difference between a ghost being a servant of a celestial master and a mouse grooming a cat.

"Don't watch the movie yet," Zhong Jiudao opened the script, "Let's watch this."

The white cheongsam closest to the script leaned over and took a look, tears fell down immediately, and it said pitifully: "I, I am illiterate... woo woo woo..."

Devil's Cry kills people, if it weren't for Zhong Jiudao's powerful mana, the white cheongsam's crying, ordinary people would probably lose their souls.

A scholar-like ghost dressed in a gray robe approached and said, "Xiao Ke was a scholar during his lifetime, so he can recite this book for adults."

"Yes." Zhong Jiudao nodded in acquiescence.

The script was floating in the air, the scholar was stunned for a moment, then he muttered "there are a lot of simplified characters", and then he read it.

When the scholar ghosts read the script, some ghosts showed headache expressions when they heard the reading, and wanted to escape from this room, but they were forced by Zhong Jiudao's lust and dared not move.

Unexpectedly, after listening to it, they found that this book was different from the ones they were familiar with. There was no "what to say", and the words were easy to understand, even Aunt Yang who had no education could understand it.

In addition, this is a horror film with the flavor of the Republic of China. The group of ghosts have a strong sense of substitution, and they gradually become fascinated by listening.

The script was not long, and the scholar read it quickly, and finished it in a few hours. At this time, except for the female ghost in a suit who was the power source, all the ghosts in the haunted house were gathered in the theater to listen to the story. There were more than 30 ghosts.

Scholar ghosts do not need lights to read, so Zhong Jiudao turned off the lights in consideration of saving electricity (female ghost in a suit).

It was past two o'clock in the morning, in the dark villa, Zhong Jiudao was sitting alone in the big room glowing with faint green light. From time to time, there were applause, shouting, sobbing, the sound of heads rolling on the ground excitedly, and the sound of the woman in dress downstairs. The weak ghost said "forgive... life".

If other people saw this scene, they might be frightened and sent to the ICU for emergency treatment.

The scholar ghost was thirsty, and he read for five or six hours in a row, until after three o'clock in the morning, before he finished reading the whole script.

Hearing the last sentence in the script, the group of ghosts couldn't bear it, and chatted happily.

"it is good!"

"I thought it was another story about the main character being killed, but it turns out there is another mystery."

"Compared to killing them all, this is the right approach. Follow the man out of the house, absorb his anger, and then possess him to find other people. Not only can you become stronger, but you can also leave the place of bondage. That's the right way!"

"This book is much better than the movie I just watched. It would be great if it could also be made into a movie."

Zhong Jiu said: "..."

It is said that his dry script is better than the classic movies of other famous directors for more than ten years. The aesthetics of these ghosts is really different from ordinary people.

The ghost in a suit took off his eyeballs and wiped away the tears hanging from his eyes with a handkerchief. The eyes on the palm of his hand were full of envy: "The villa in this book looks like our house, and the protagonists in the book are just like us. , if we can do it too.”

Zhong Jiu said: "You have strong grievances, and you should have hurt some people."

The white cheongsam said: "Decades ago, some foreigners with foreign guns occupied our house. We drove those people away together and absorbed some anger. But after they left, this house has never been seen." It was not until three years ago that a family moved in. We only had a few quarrels, and the family moved out in fright, and after that, you will be Tianshi."

Zhong Jiudao knew the history of this haunted house. During the war, it was occupied by a group of invaders. Later, these people fled to death, leaving a legend of the haunted house.

In the modern society, only the descendants of those years traveled across the ocean and returned to China, inherited the house, resold it, and was bought by the current homeowner.

These evil spirits bred in troubled times have survived for many years by chance. If Zhong Jiudao hadn't been so powerful, if they were replaced by other celestial masters, they would have all returned home without a feather.

It is best to get rid of such ghosts.However, the Zhong family forbids Zhong Jiudao from using the celestial master's technique. In this case, it's no big deal if he doesn't get rid of it, just restrict it.

Zhong Jiudao said: "I'm a director, and I plan to make this script into a movie like the movie just now. I need..."

He wanted to say that he needed to write biographies of the characters, and wanted to ask the group of ghosts for their thoughts.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the suit ghost said excitedly: "Does your lord need someone to act? I can!"

"Me too!" "Me too!"

The group of ghosts rushed in front of Zhong Jiudao, excited to fight for the role, their tongues, eyeballs, arms, and heads flew around, which can be called a group of demons dancing wildly.

Zhong Jiu said: "..."

It seems that it is not impossible, as long as you draw a figment on the camera, you can shoot a supernatural video.Letting ghosts act as ghosts is not only a real performance, but also saves special effects and makeup costs.

And they don't seem to need human paper money, just burn some Ming coins as remuneration, let alone 100, 200 (unit: Ming Yuan) can afford it.
