I Used Non-humans as Actors for Those Years
Chapter 7 Choosing an Actor
Zhong Jiudao had already set up a talisman array outside Luohuai Gate to ensure that he would not be harmed by evil spirits.But the talisman array can prevent ghosts from entering, but it can't prevent people from coming out voluntarily. In the middle of the night, Luo Huai bumped into this scene. No matter how stupid Luo Huai is, he can't explain it clearly.
The white cheongsam came up behind Zhong Jiudao and said, "What a handsome little brother, why don't you let me fascinate him, make him fascinated, and forget what happened today. Such a good-looking little brother, I will be more gentle , at most ten years of life will be lost, and I can't bear to be a concubine if I really die."
She seemed to be whispering, but in fact she didn't lower her voice at all, every word fell into Luo Huai's ears clearly.
"Hic! Hiccup! Hiccup!" Luo Huai was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and hiccupped continuously.
Aunt Yang came to Luo Huai with the bloody "fresh meat" porridge at the right time: "Come on, suppress the hiccup after drinking the porridge."
"Hi, hi, hi!" Luo Huai's face was pale, and he was about to faint.
"Go away!" Zhong Jiudao said coldly.
The white cheongsam and Aunt Yang, who were actively making up their minds, retreated wisely. Unexpectedly, Luo Huai nodded obediently, and was about to run out while hiccupping.
Zhong Jiudao hurriedly grabbed Luo Huai: "I didn't mention you, sit down, and I'll help you."
Luo Huai was pushed down on the chair by the dining table by Zhong Jiudao, and Zhong Jiudao put his hand lightly on his wrist, and found that his pulse was fluctuating, obviously frightened.
Zhong Jiudao casually drew a talisman to suppress shock and soul, and lightly patted Luo Huai on the back. The mana entered his body along with the talisman. Luo Huai felt his body warm for a while, and his hiccups stopped.
He took a deep breath, tapped his chest with his fist, and said curiously: "It's amazing, I won't hiccup now! Director Zhong, did you take pictures of the acupuncture points on my back? Are you a Chinese medicine student?"
While Luo Huai was talking, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Aunt Yang, he hurriedly jumped up from the chair, and said to Aunt Yang, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Seeing this, Zhong Jiudao thought that even if Luo Huai was stupid and sweet, he should have guessed that there was something wrong with the crew. Instead of lying to cover it up, it would be better to confess directly, threaten him with evil spirits, and then seduce him with the ability of a celestial master In short, with a two-pronged approach, Luo Huai will definitely help keep it secret.
There is a human in the crew to help tell the lie, and it is easier for other staff members to believe it.
Not to mention that Luo Huai has an honest face, words spoken from him will be very credible, and with his help, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Zhong Jiudao went through the words of threats and lures in his mind, and when he was about to speak, Luo Huai put his hands together and said to Aunt Yang, "Aunt Yang, I'm sorry! It turns out that you are also an actor, and your acting skills are so vivid. Brother Qian and I I think you are the aunt who cooks, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Zhong Jiu said: "..."
Aunt Yang wiped the blood on her face with her sleeve, and said like a kind aunt: "It's okay, you don't admit your mistake. Cooking is my hobby. I like to see others eat my cooking, and see others I will feel happy from the bottom of my heart when I eat deliciously."
"This is probably the legendary ingenuity, the pursuit and persistence of skills." Luo Huai said with emotion.
"Oh, it's the first time I've seen such a simple little brother, so handsome." The white cheongsam raised his hand to touch Luo Huai's face, "Aunt Yang is ingenious, then little brother, look at me, this charming What is a haunted ghost?"
The white cheongsam was born charmingly, and the pair of ghostly eyes were full of affection, and it seemed that everyone was affectionate.Under its gaze, Luo Huai blushed and tilted her head slightly to avoid the touch of the white cheongsam.
For such a young and good-looking actress, it was inconvenient for Luo Huai to praise anything, otherwise, no matter what she said, it would be a bit ambiguous.
"Okay," Zhong Jiudao pushed away Aunt Yang and the white cheongsam who were approaching with a palm, "It's so late, everyone go back to rest, I'll see you off."
The last sentence was addressed to Luo Huai, and Luo Huai found a reason to explain it himself, so there was no need for Zhong Jiudao to coerce or lure her.But he still has to change the script and audition next, it's better for Luo Huai to stay in his room.
When going upstairs, Luo Huai took a careful look at Zhong Jiudao, who had a serious expression, and finally summoned up the courage to say when he opened the door: "Director Zhong, thank you for your guidance, I have confidence in this drama!"
Zhong Jiu said: "..."
He took out the script, pointed to a paragraph on it and said: "The script made me appear terrified, trying to escape but my legs were weak and unable to move. I practiced in the room for a long time during the day, but I couldn't figure out how to act. Today When I saw Aunt Yang's performance at night, I suddenly realized how to behave!"
Zhong Jiu said: "...you should rest well tonight, you may be frightened even more in the future."
"Well, I will definitely try my best to be scared!" Luo Huai said with high spirits.
After closing the door, Zhong Jiudao wiped off his cold sweat.The obstruction of his family didn't make him back down, the poor crew didn't make him worry, and the house full of ghosts didn't make him afraid. On the contrary, Luo Huai, an inexperienced young actor, was frightened into a cold sweat. Let these ghosts show their feet.
Zhong Jiudao stopped in front of Luo Huai's door for a while, and after listening to the room's breathing gradually becoming even, he quietly sent a peace charm to ensure that Luo Huai would sleep until dawn tonight and would not wake up again if struck by lightning. Only then did I feel relieved and came to the audition hall.
The group of ghosts is already waiting for Zhong Jiudao in the theater on the third floor. Zhong Jiudao ordered everyone to stand up and report the number. Including Butler Lin, there are 33 ghosts in the house. They have been ghosts for at least a hundred years, and they are all in troubled times. Ghosts, before death they were extremely miserable, and after death they absorbed a lot of grievances from the world, and now they are all overlords, but they were trapped here for decades because of the flesh and blood of the celestial master back then.
The magic power of celestial masters is the best nourishment for ghosts. Although they are trapped here, their strength cannot be underestimated. All of them have cultivated to the point where they can manifest themselves during the day, and they can even walk sideways when encountering ordinary celestial masters.
Today, when Tianshi and his party are declining day by day, if other members of the Zhong family come to this haunted house, they will lose half their lives if they don't die.
But the one who came to the haunted house was the exceptionally talented Zhong Jiudao, who was also considered unlucky for these ghosts, so they could only work peacefully as a backup power source and an actor.
Since the number of actors who do not spend money has increased a lot, and they also have their own special effects and makeup, when Zhong Jiudao changed the script, he simply added ghost roles and reduced human roles.
So the whole script becomes a story about four college students coming to the haunted house, but ten evil ghosts live in the haunted house. The college students look more like uninvited guests who broke into the ghost paradise.
When the roles of ghosts intensify, the main character becomes a ghost instead of a human. Zhong Jiudao already has Luo Huai as a cheap actor, so he can just hire three ordinary actors, and the cost should not be too high.
The shooting cost was reduced by Zhong Jiudao to hundreds of thousands, and more money can be set aside for post-production. For a horror movie, editing and soundtrack are crucial, and actors can save money. This part is absolutely Can not save.
Aunt Yang is already an appointed actor, and there are 32 remaining ghosts who want to compete for 9 roles. For a while, all the ghosts were indignant, glaring viciously at the unruly, and took the lead in bribing Aunt Yang, the director of Tianshi, by cleaning the villa and cooking.
In front of the group of ghosts, Aunt Yang didn't have to hide anymore. She was holding a broom in one hand and a machete in the other. Half of her neck was cut off, bleeding profusely. If any ghost dared to challenge it to go through the back door, it would definitely swing it with a knife.
It's not that other ghosts can't beat it, but there are still 9 characters, so there is no need to fight to the death from the beginning.
"There were only four roles for you before, but now there are many more, you can choose one." Zhong Jiudao burned a role list.
The white cheongsam stepped forward first, and said to Zhong Jiudao: "Master Tianshi, I have already chosen the role of the hostess of this house. A dignified, virtuous, gentle and considerate woman like this concubine should be the head of the house." mother."
"Bah!" The female ghost in a dress spat, "I don't even look in the mirror to see my own appearance, I look like a vixen, which mistress would choose a vixen like you. The mistress of the new era should be me This kind of advanced youth who is new, foreign, and accepts the ideas of the new era!"
The female ghost in a dress is the third concubine, and the white cheongsam is the fifth concubine, but these two concubines were not from the same family before their lives, and they are still fighting when they get together.
Zhong Jiudao shook his head and said, "The mistress of this family has a 20-year-old daughter who is already in her [-]s or [-]s. The appearance of both of you is not suitable."
But in this way, except for Aunt Yang, the female ghosts in the house are all young ghosts, and none of them fit the role setting at all.
The white cheongsam suddenly had an idea: "My lord, it's not impossible for a concubine to become a little older, and don't you think that when a character gets old and young for a while, his acting skills are more exquisite?"
After all, it raised its head slightly, and its young and delicate face was gradually stained with the traces of time, turning into a well-maintained look in its 40s.
Seeing its changes, Zhong Jiudao has a new understanding of the role.He bowed his head and simply wrote words such as "longing to regain youth", "chasing young flesh and blood", "changing in old age and youth", "one person playing mother and daughter", etc., a wonderful image of a female ghost gradually appeared in the clock. Jiu Dao took shape in his mind.
Seeing that Zhong Jiudao was showing signs of being bewitched by the white cheongsam, the ghost in a dress screamed, "I have skills, I can make clothes!"
Hearing the word clothes, Zhong Jiudao became interested, and his eyes shifted from the notebook to the female ghost in a dress.
The female ghost of the dress said: "Before I was taken into the house by that old thing, I was a designer in a garment workshop. Apart from making traditional clothes, I also took classes in the church and knew how to make dresses. This one on me Clothes, I sewed them myself before I died! I saw those clothes you bought today, not to mention the materials, they are ugly to death, give me the fabric and three days, and I promise to make clothes that are a hundred times better than those!"
Zhong Jiudao's eyes lit up. In fact, he also disliked the pile of clothes that Qian Duoqun rented. If he returned it now and used the rent to buy some good-quality fabrics, which were made by the female ghost in western clothes, the texture of the whole film would also be the same. Huge improvements.
Even so, Zhong Jiudao still said: "Your thinking is old, and the clothes you make are more traditional, which may not conform to modern aesthetics."
The female ghost in a dress said angrily: "Who said that! I am very good at learning, and I secretly watched a lot of movies last night. I can make all the clothes in it, and I can improve it!"
The white cheongsam who was in competition with it immediately said: "After you were released last night, the villa was using normal power supply, right? You still used electricity secretly? Oh my god! Master Tianshi, such a ghost who doesn't know how to be frugal , if you use it, I don't know how much fabric you will waste!"
"Qi Wanlian, you devil who provokes right and wrong, I ate you!" The clothes on the female ghost in a foreign dress wrapped around the body of the white cheongsam, strangling it tightly, and the candle in her palm flickered.
In terms of strength alone, the white cheongsam, that is, Qi Wanlian, can't beat the female ghost in a foreign dress, but Qi Wanlian is more insidious as a ghost, with deep scheming, and the female ghost in a foreign dress is not its opponent.
"Don't fight," Zhong Jiudao said, "You can't be the mistress, don't you still have the role of a daughter? Within three days, if you can make enough clothes for this movie, the role of the daughter will be given to you."
"Thank you, Master Tianshi!" The female ghost in dress didn't want to entangle with Qi Wanlian any more after getting the role, and immediately slapped it severely, pulling the ghost to the ceiling and immobilizing it for a long time.
"Don't call me Master Tianshi anymore, just call me Director Zhong." Zhong Jiudao corrected everyone's address, "Show off any skills you have, there are still 7 roles left, and we will recruit based on merit."
The white cheongsam came up behind Zhong Jiudao and said, "What a handsome little brother, why don't you let me fascinate him, make him fascinated, and forget what happened today. Such a good-looking little brother, I will be more gentle , at most ten years of life will be lost, and I can't bear to be a concubine if I really die."
She seemed to be whispering, but in fact she didn't lower her voice at all, every word fell into Luo Huai's ears clearly.
"Hic! Hiccup! Hiccup!" Luo Huai was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and hiccupped continuously.
Aunt Yang came to Luo Huai with the bloody "fresh meat" porridge at the right time: "Come on, suppress the hiccup after drinking the porridge."
"Hi, hi, hi!" Luo Huai's face was pale, and he was about to faint.
"Go away!" Zhong Jiudao said coldly.
The white cheongsam and Aunt Yang, who were actively making up their minds, retreated wisely. Unexpectedly, Luo Huai nodded obediently, and was about to run out while hiccupping.
