I Used Non-humans as Actors for Those Years

Zhong Jiudao knew very well that these ghosts were not kind, and there were three reasons why they were so obedient.

Firstly, they were bound by the previous celestial master and trapped in the villa for decades, anyone would want to escape to get free.These ghosts can appear during the day, and can continue to generate electricity for three, five, or seven days. With such a powerful strength, who would like to be kept in captivity, and who wouldn't want to go shopping with an umbrella during the day?

Secondly, they had a contract with the celestial master before, so they knew that the celestial master must pay a corresponding price for serving the ghosts, and the price paid would be of great benefit to them, so of course they wanted to compete for posts.

Three times, these are ghosts of the old society, with little experience, probably because they really like movies and have thought about their addiction to filming.They probably never thought about being a celebrity. After all, most of the celebrities in their era were Liyuan artists with low social status. They didn't realize how popular being a celebrity is in today's society.

Zhong Jiudao dared to use them, and of course he had the confidence to control them.

Enslaving ghosts is nothing more than two points, one is to lure them for profit, and the other is to beat them violently.

When the strength is sufficient, the first point is not so important.For example, for these ghosts, tell them that if they can't be selected to make a movie, they can use it as a mobile power bank. Who would dare to ask for benefits?Isn't everyone scrambling to make a movie?

Zhong Jiudao leaned back on the chair, leisurely watching the group of ghosts show off their magical powers, and enjoyed the audition very much.

In order to control them, Zhong Jiudao made a resume form for each ghost, forcing the ghosts to forcibly leave a trace of soul power on the form, which can be regarded as a written restriction.

In addition to the brief introductions of ghosts on the form, the back is Zhong Jiudao's comments, in terms of appearance, body, etiquette and conversation, literacy, mastery of skills, acting skills (time to hide ghosts' real bodies), role suitability, etc. The ghosts will be scored in several aspects, and will be selected according to the scores in the end.

With a full score of 100 points, Qi Wanlian in the white cheongsam has 100 points for appearance alone, 20 points for body shape, 20 points for etiquette and conversation, -20 points for literacy, -100 points for mastering skills, and unknown acting skills, the total score is [-] points , is a high score.

Fu Yue, a female ghost in a dress, has 90 points for appearance, 10 for body shape, -40 for etiquette and conversation, 10 for literacy, -20 for acting skills, and 50 points for mastering skills. The total score is also 100 points, which is on par with Qi Wanlian.

Aunt Yang's appearance is not high, but her acting skills have been recognized by the class actor Luo Huai.

The rest of the ghosts are good and bad. They have a variety of skills, but most of them are useless. The skills of Mr. Accountant and Gardener are not bad. Skills such as being able to hang five people to death, and being able to parasitize in the human body to make men give birth to ghost fetuses are really difficult to be elegant (difficult to save money), and all these skills will be scored negatively.

Zhong Jiudao chose the whole night before finalizing 10 actors.In the case of unrecognizable skills, he can only choose actors based on their appearance. His film has poor hardware and a mediocre script. To attract the audience, only the excellent appearance of the actors is needed.

Fortunately, ghosts have existed for many years. Even if they are ugly, they will make themselves beautiful by playing tricks on them. Everyone is not bad in appearance. Zhong Jiudao only needs to select the best ones.

Until ten o'clock in the morning, the actors were finally selected and agreements were signed with them one by one.Zhong Jiudao's contract was very detailed, such as not disturbing his human colleagues, not revealing his identity during filming, not crying in the villa in the middle of the night like he is an actor with unspoken rules of the director, not...

In short, Zhong Jiudao thought through all the prohibition treaties he could think of, and those who violated them were immediately removed. Anyway, there are still 23 ghosts waiting in line for filming. They have no shortage of actors.

As for the treatment, Zhong Jiudao promised that from the beginning of filming to the release of the movie, he would burn ghost coins and favorite things for them every month, and would also offer some human food to them on a regular basis. Except for Aunt Yang, the rest of the ghosts had no cooking skills. Well, they dare not eat what Aunt Yang made. They have been hungry for decades, and their eyes are green from hunger. Oh, some are not hungry, they have been green since they died.

Some evil spirits, such as Fu Yue, a female ghost in a dress, tried to bargain with Zhong Jiudao, wanting some of Zhong Jiudao's mana and the pure yang blood of the celestial master, but Zhong Jiudao taught him a blazing talisman for an hour , and warned it that if it committed another crime, it would be replaced by a daughter and let it obediently become a textile worker.

Fu Yue's force value is the highest in the entire villa, and at the same time, his brain is also the worst.It was the first one to provoke Zhong Jiudao back then, and now it is also the first one who dared to ask for Chun Yang's blood. Zhong Jiudao was quite worried about becoming an actor with this personality.

So Zhong Jiudao swiped his pen and wrote on the contract that "the director has the right to change actors at any time", and secretly encouraged other backup actors who were not selected to report the actor ghost's violation of the contract at any time. Changing actors, even if it doesn't work, as long as the circumstances are true, it's okay to give a cameo role to someone who shows his face.

After the contracts signed with the ghosts were ready, Zhong Jiudao found out the contracts used by normal human actors from the computer, wrote "Friendship 0 salary to star in" in the salary section, and imitated the actors to sign their names.

After finishing the two contracts, Zhong Jiudao sighed slightly. As a celestial master, he not only failed to eliminate demons and guard the way, but instead used ghosts to film movies; as a director, he embarked on the road of no return to filming movies with non-human beings just at the beginning of his career as a director. , I really failed to do my duty in any line of work.

Up to now, he can only do his best to make this movie well, and hand in an answer sheet that satisfies everyone.

Zhong Jiudao walked out of the movie theater with a stack of contracts in his arms, and just bumped into Luo Huai who was wandering in front of the movie theater door, and several contracts for human beings on it fell down.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Luo Huai hurriedly bent down to pick up a few contracts, "I, I just want to visit the villa, it's really big and beautiful here!"

Luo Huai handed the contract to Zhong Jiudao. Under Zhong Jiudao's serious gaze, he slowly lowered his head and whispered, "Also, I'm a little hungry. I know there's food in the kitchen, so I tried to cook it myself. , failed. I was looking for Aunt Yang everywhere, and I heard a voice here, so I came to try my luck. I, I knocked on the door outside!"

In order to prevent the sound in the movie hall from being heard by others, Zhong Jiudao set up a soundproof symbol. Not only did the sound inside not come out, but also the sound of knocking on the door outside did not come in.

He believed that Luo Huai was not lying, because Luo Huai had a strong stranger smell, if he had stayed at the entrance of the theater for a long time, the 33 ghosts inside were not vegetarians, they would have already discovered his existence.Only when Luo Huai just came to the door of the movie hall, Zhong Jiudao just opened the door and ran into him, so that Li Gui would not find him standing outside the door.

It was almost noon, and it was time to be hungry. Zhong Jiudao felt his stomach growling.

Yesterday, Qian Duoqun's food poisoning incident happened. After Zhong Jiudao bought new ingredients, he didn't dare to let others touch them. He made lunch and dinner himself, and even set up a talisman to protect the food, so as not to be infected by ghosts.

Luo Huai thought Aunt Yang cooked the delicious food he ate yesterday, but Director Zhong made it himself.If Aunt Yang did it, he would have been sent to the ICU long ago.

Today, Zhong Jiudao was busy with the audition and forgot the time for a while, and left Luo Huai starving, forced to cook by himself, but unfortunately he was not good at cooking and almost burned the kitchen down.

It was true that the kitchen almost burned down. Luo Huai didn't know how long the oil should be boiled. After the oil was poured into the pot and caught fire, he waited for the oil to boil. After waiting for a while, the oil in the pot burned, which made him panic.

Fortunately, Luo Huai has the most basic awareness of fire safety. Instead of using water to put out the fire, he bravely covered the burning oil pan with a lid and successfully extinguished the fire.

After some soul-stirring, Luo Huai obediently turned off the power and liquefied petroleum gas, looking for people everywhere while still in shock and guilty.

That's when I saw Zhong Jiudao so flustered that I bumped into him messing up the contract and accidentally saw the words "starring in friendship with 0 pay" on the contract.

A dozen or so 0-pay contracts in a row, including Aunt Yang with superb acting skills!In addition to gift films and films that return favors, how can there be so many films in the entertainment industry with actors starring in 0 pay. The only explanation is that Director Zhong is very capable!

Even if he himself is unknown in the entertainment industry, he must have a family background.

Seeing such a director cooking for himself and cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, Luo Huai felt a little panicked, he was restless, and circled around Zhong Jiudao like a cat.

Seeing Luo Huai's terrified eyes and hesitant expression, Zhong Jiudao always suspected that this person saw something he shouldn't have seen last night, so he couldn't help frowning, thinking about how to seal his mouth.

In fact, it's not impossible to consider Qi Wanlian's suggestion in the white cheongsam to confuse Luo Huai's mind and forcibly erase the memory in his mind.It's just that doing so will damage Luo Huai's lifespan, and if the ghost who made a contract with him does evil under the order of the celestial master, the karma will be counted on the celestial master who serves as a ghost, and it will backfire against the celestial master in the long run.

Do you have to spend money to seal it?He is a rookie director who generates electricity for his dreams, where did he get so much money!Zhong Jiudao was very tormented.

Seeing Zhong Jiu frown, Luo Huai felt extremely panicked, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm in the way, so let's make way."

He huddled in the corner of the kitchen, thinking to himself: "How about I take the initiative to apply for 0 pay? But after the filming of this movie is over, I will have no place to live. I can rent a small studio room for 1 yuan."

"It's time to eat." Zhong Jiudao looked calm, put the food on the table, and decided to discuss how to seal it during the meal.

Since it was already noon, Zhong Jiudao made lunch directly, and he simply made four dishes and one soup with a complete mix of meat and vegetables.

"Let's eat as soon as possible." Zhong Jiudao said.

"This dish is very rich! It's not a waste at all." In order not to let herself say "zero pay", Luo Huai tried hard to pick rice into his mouth and gagged his mouth.

Zhong Jiudao couldn't help frowning when he saw how he ate his food, "You play a young, easily frightened college student in the film. Although you don't need to be too thin, you shouldn't be too fat. And you are the face of this movie. Take responsibility and try to control your weight."

"Oh, okay." Luo Huai changed the big mouthfuls of dry rice into small mouthfuls, chewing slowly.

"Last night, I watched the scene of Aunt Yang cooking. Apart from thinking that the acting skills are superb, what other thoughts do you have?" Zhong Jiudao asked.

"Very dedicated." Luo Huai replied earnestly, "It must be very uncomfortable to have so much blood on her face, and she chopped up frozen meat with a knife, and every time she chopped off a piece of meat, she must have used a lot of strength , in order to show a scary atmosphere and show immersive acting skills, she is a respectable senior, I want to learn from her, and I must not hold back this film."

It didn't look like he had discovered anything, Zhong Jiudao observed Luo Huai, and tentatively said: "There are still many actors who play ghosts in this movie. If you look like you want to hurt someone at any time, then you must be an actor, understand?"

"Is the girl in the white cheongsam costume yesterday also an actress?" Luo Huai asked.

"Yes, it is also very dedicated to the acting career. If it says or does anything, it must be for the role." Zhong Jiudao said.

"Yes, I should also start to maintain the state of the role from today." Luo Huai patted his chest.

"It's not necessary, if you maintain this appearance, you will highly overlap with the character." Zhong Jiudao said.

Zhong Jiudao was sure that Luo Huai hadn't discovered the truth about his "colleagues". With Zhong Jiudao's approval, Luo Huai felt a little relieved, thinking that he should no longer have to lower his salary.

The atmosphere at the dinner table eased up a lot. Looking at the empty room, Luo Huai couldn't help but ask, "Why don't Aunt Yang and the other actors come to eat? Are they not on the set?"

It is impossible for ghosts to eat with people, even if you tell Luo Huai that they are not there now, you will have to find a way to prevaricate them in the future.

Zhong Jiudao thought for a while and said, "They have relatively high requirements on diet, and they bring their own food, so they don't eat with us."

"It's to keep fit." Luo Huai nodded stupidly, "Then they should be the kind of actors who have assistants to take care of them, right?"

"Yes." Zhong Jiudao smiled, and wanted to pick a few of the remaining 23 ghosts to be assistants, and pretend to be with empty lunch boxes every day, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the phenomenon of a group of actors not eating.

Fortunately, after having an in-depth chat with Luo Huai for a while, we were able to check for gaps and make up for gaps, avoiding a lot of trouble.

"I'm really looking forward to this movie!" Luo Huai was full of anticipation when she thought that she would be filming with such a powerful director, such a dedicated and talented actor, and couldn't help asking, "When will the film start?"

"The photographer has already made an appointment, and a lot of props have been found. It is said that the costumes will be replaced with a new batch in three days. There are still three important actors, and Qian Duoqun is looking for them." Zhong Jiudao said.

The most difficult thing is the three actors. After all, it is hard to find an actor like Luo Huai who is stupid, has little money, little money, and good looks.

"Is there still a shortage of actors?" Luo Huai was shocked. He felt that Director Zhong should not worry about actors since he could find so many acting schools with no salary.

Zhong Jiudao: "There is no shortage of spare actors, but there is a lack of suitable ones."

After all, it is inconvenient for ghosts to act as humans, and the pay for humans is very high.

"What kind of actor does it look like?" Luo Huai asked.

Zhong Jiudao: "I plan to arrange four actors, two men and two women, who are about the same age as you. I don't have high requirements for my fame, as long as I am young and good-looking. As for the acting skills, it doesn't matter if they are close, we have plenty of time for filming Yes, you can refine your acting skills on the spot."

Those with high reputation can't afford it, and those with poor acting skills are even better, it's cheap enough.As for improving acting skills, Zhong Jiudao is very confident in training the acting skills of human actors with a group of immersive, acting-style ghost actors.

The requirements are not high, as long as they look good, they can also help guide their acting skills.Luo Huai swallowed a mouthful of soup, thinking about Zhong Jiudao's conditions.

Zhong Jiudao observed Luo Huai's expression, and found that his expression was very agile, and he would show whatever was on his mind, and people could see his thoughts at a glance.With such appearance conditions and personal qualities, playing a calm and introverted role is almost unbearable, but an outgoing role will be very brilliant, and he is an actor with strong plasticity.

"Do you have an actor you want to recommend to me?" Zhong Jiudao saw Luo Huai's thoughts and asked proactively.

Luo Huai quickly said: "Yes, I have a friend who is famous for his exaggerated acting skills. He used to be a little popular, but now he is scolded so that no one asks him to make a movie. Can he audition?"

"It was very popular before?" Zhong Jiudao frowned, will the salary be high?

"This is his photo," Luo Huai pulled out a group photo from his phone and handed it to Zhong Jiudao. "He has acted in many online dramas, and he was scolded for his disfigured acting skills. He once said that whoever can make him act poorly His word of mouth improved, and he paid for filming."

"Okay, let him audition, I have time anytime." Zhong Jiudao said immediately.
