I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 160 [Still need to exercise]

It was close to early morning, and the rooms on all floors of the rental building had been locked, making it very quiet.

' pat pat pat. '

The sound of footsteps landing on the stairs sounded.

"Why so slow?"

Zhang Xueming stood at the stairs, turned around, and raised his head to ask.

Then, she watched Lu Zhengyi slowly walk down the stairs, followed by a young man she had never seen before.

"This is?"

Zhang Xueming looked at the young man suspiciously.

There are a lot of people in the first commandment crew, and she can't recognize everyone.

But there are not many people in the Mei Civet Cat crew who often hang around Lu Zhengyi, and she basically knows them all.

But who is this person?

Lu Zhengyi was about to explain.

But after thinking for a while, he went downstairs and came to her side, and then said softly, "He is Wang Xiaoxu."

"what?"

Zhang Xueming was taken aback for a moment.

Wang Xiaoxu? !

This name is not unfamiliar to her at all.

Lu Zhengyi got to know him in front of her, and then snatched his soul away from him, even though she couldn't see it at the time.

Can you see it now?
Zhang Xueming unconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Lu Zhengyi's arm, but his eyes were staring at him without blinking.

This... being a ghost seems to be no different from a human being, right?

Two eyes, one nose, one mouth.

"Manager Zhang, hello, hello." Wang Xiaoxu bowed slightly and greeted politely, "I am Wang Xiaoxu, that... Ahua's friend, do you remember? It's the one who worked the last month shift, please Half a month off for that idiot.”

"Here, I apologize to you on his behalf."

"He is spoiled by his family, but he still has self-motivation. I hope you can be more tolerant and understanding."

This tone is like a worried about his ignorant son who offended the company's leaders.

He even held out his hand for a handshake.

This was the big boss that he never even had a chance to meet when he was alive.

"Hello Hello."

Zhang Xueming hesitated, and stretched out his palm, "I remember him, there must be tolerance and understanding, but if he wants to stay in the company, it depends on his own ability."

As she spoke, her hand touched Wang Xiaoxu's.

Then, passed through.

In an instant, Zhang Xueming's face froze.

A cold feeling ran directly from the palm of my hand down my arm and straight to my forehead. I don't know if it was a psychological effect or if there was really such a cold feeling.

……

……

"So, that's not Teacher Liang? It's..."

There was hesitation in Xu Feng's voice, "The real Chu Renmei?"

As soon as Lu Zhengyi returned to the hotel, he was surrounded by a group of people and entered the room.

As soon as the big guy entered the room, he kept staring at Wang Xiaoxu.

As for... Are you afraid?

No, not at all.

A group of people looked at Wang Xiaoxu carelessly, as if they were looking at monkeys.

There is no fear and panic about ghosts when I first photographed the old corpse in the mountain village.

"That's right, then."

Lu Zhengyi sat helplessly on the sofa, running the cat hair in his hand, "After all, that is the expression of fear in Xiaoxu's heart. It is the Chu Renmei in his heart, the character in the old corpse in the mountain village. Rather than the one we know Mr. Liang, the actor.”

Because there was no room to stand in the room.

Compared to the last time I stayed at a B&B in Xiaxi Village for filming, the rooms in this hotel are much smaller.

Others live in standard rooms, one bedroom plus a separate bathroom.

Even though he is a director, he entertains other people in the crew from time to time and lives in a suite, which has an extra living room than others.

Nearly thirty people entered the house, almost filling the living room.

Some people don't even have a place to sit, they can only stand against the wall.

"Amazing, Wang... Brother Wang."

Zhang Yuming stood near the balcony and gave a thumbs up, "So, our crew now has a top special effects artist?"

Originally out of respect for the deceased, he wanted to call him Brother Wang.

But when I think about it carefully, they seem to be younger than me, so I can only change my name and call him Brother Wang.

When this sentence was asked, everyone in the crew stared at Wang Xiaoxu.

This makes Wang Xiaoxu, who has always been a role model and cannon fodder, a little embarrassed whether in life or work, standing there blushing and scratching his head.

"Yes, a perfect special effects artist."

Lu Zhengyi also set his sights on Wang Xiaoxu.

What kind of concept is it to be able to construct an illusion according to one's own inner thoughts, and the illusion can be captured by the lens?
Shooting sci-fi films, you can directly create a future man covered in metal and steel with a sense of technology,
When making a fairy tale, you can create a flying fairy with a sword.

Make a horror movie...

That Chu Renmei, who was directly dug out of the fear deep in her heart, has already explained everything.

"I'm already looking forward to how the audience will feel when they see our new special effects."

The prop, Ajie, folded his arms and leaned against the wall, smiling maliciously.

The others also laughed when they heard this.

"Speaking of which, is there any need for special effects in this movie?"

"Then that's a lot."

"Hey, it's over. I find that Director Lu and I seem to be more and more alike, but I like this feeling."

In this crowded room, everyone in Mei Limao's crew was full of joy and anticipation.

This made Zhang Xueming and Yu Li, who were temporary 'outsiders', a little uncomfortable.

Honestly, for a... ghost.

From an ordinary person's perspective, it should be feared.

Especially Zhang Xueming, just now when she shook hands with someone, that hand went straight through, and her heart was half cold.

But now the attitude of others.

They felt like... there was nothing to be afraid of?

After all, Wang Xiaoxu is still human.

It didn't say, bleeding from the seven orifices, distorted facial features and so on.

"But this ability is somewhat similar to our stone statue."

The ability of this phantom reminded Chang Zhengwei of the stone statue that was often used in the opening ceremony.

If offerings are not provided, that stone statue will make people see what they fear in their hearts.

"There is still a difference."

Xiaowei shook her head, "Isn't it possible to see it without the prerequisite of making a confession? And you can't control it yourself."

"The main ability of the stone statue is to ward off evil spirits."

"Brother Wang's ability is more free."

She imitated Zhang Yuming and called him "Brother Wang." '

"Huh? Exorcism?"

Wang Xiaoxu asked in a daze.

What stone statue?
That faceless stone statue when you turned it on that day?

Eh?
"Probably because you are a good person, you were not driven away."

Lu Zhengyi saw what was going on in his mind and opened his mouth to explain.

"As a good soul, there is no evil in you."

And Daoist Guanshan in the corner also interjected in a timely manner, "Even spirits will not reject you. No, it should be treated equally. If you make him angry first, it is inevitable that he will treat you too. You have emotions."

"Meow."

Xiao Zhongyong lay on Lu Zhengyi's lap and nodded.

"Huh? A spirit thing?"

Wang Xiaoxu looked at the little black cat even more blankly.

At most, he thought that this black cat looked very spiritual.

But listening to what they say now, it seems... this cat is not a simple thing?

And with Wang Xiaoxu at a loss, there are Yu Li and Zhang Xueming.

The two of them were sitting on the same sofa with Lu Zhengyi. At this time, both of them were a little at a loss as they watched the other people in the crew chatting freely. Vocabulary in Ghost Stories.

A stone statue to ward off evil spirits?Evil spirit?

good soul?spirit?
Do those myths and legends that have been passed down from ancient times to the present really exist?
"Wait, Director Lu, will we still be needed in the crew after that?"

But soon, Yu Li realized a problem.

If special effects can be made directly through illusions, do actors still need it?

Chang Zhengwei and Zhang Yuming, who were still looking forward to it, stopped smiling.

"Of course."

Lu Zhengyi turned his head helplessly and looked at Yu Li on the other end of the sofa across Zhang Xueming, "Xiaoxu's ability is only to show his inner thoughts, which is just a picture that is tangible but has no reality."

But at this point, he realized another problem.

However, he didn't bring it up for the time being, and continued, "And Xiaoxu can only imagine one person at most. For the time being, there is no way to imagine many people, and there is no way to change the environment."

"So what you are worried about may be replaced by phantoms is impossible."

"Xiaoxu's personal ability is not yet able to arrange an entire play."

Yes, temporarily.

Compared to introducing them to the air when the first commandment was turned on.

Lu Zhengyi officially let them know Wang Xiaoxu this time.

Soon, the Mei Limao crew had a small meeting and began to leave.

They were also eager to go back for late-night snacks.

Zhang Xueming also went back, and today was the first time she 'contacted' a ghost in a real sense.

Even if I knew it long ago, the world is not what it seems on the surface.

But it still takes some time for her to get used to it.

All of a sudden, only Lu Zhengyi, Taoist Guanshan, and Wang Xiaoxu were left in the crowded room.

Oh yes, there is also a little black cat with its eyes narrowed, probably asleep.

"So, what happened?"

Taoist Guanshan sat down and asked in a deep voice, "I haven't stared at it for a while, why did it become like this?"

He didn't know what happened to Wang Xiaoxu from an invisible and untouchable ghost to what he is now.

"...Can you please stop asking such embarrassing questions?"

Wang Xiaoxu said weakly.

He didn't want the fact that he almost became a voyeur to be made public.

Just now, when he saw Yu Li again, he was still a little apprehensive.

It's no longer the feeling of facing an idol, it's a bit like... the feeling of meeting an ex-girlfriend, and it's still the feeling of feeling sorry for others.

Don't want to see, dare not see.

"no!"

Taoist Guanshan shook his head, "What happened in this process? Although there is no evil in you, but...how did you grow up so fast."

"He survived a great calamity."

Lu Zhengyi looked at Wang Xiaoxu's eyes that kept pointing to himself, and explained tactfully.

"Rob?"

Taoist Guanshan asked, "Thunder Tribulation?"

When it comes to catastrophe, as a Taoist who pursues immortality, his first reaction is thunder catastrophe.

Lu Zhengyi took another look at Wang Xiaoxu, who was already blushing, and replied hesitantly, "It can be regarded as a robbery of love."

"Love robbery?"

Taoist Guanshan asked in disbelief, "How can there be such a big change in just one calamity?"

Ever since he learned about this in the car, he had been feeling uneasy.

Why is it growing so fast?

This is not the first time he has seen a ghost.

Apart from the previous Liang Meijuan, she had seen her before.

Most of the ghosts only exist for a short time after leaving the body, like... phantoms, and some people even have no consciousness after becoming ghosts.

During this process, some people with higher spirituality, such as children, can see them.

But then, they will quickly dissipate and return to heaven and earth.

This is the saying in the Taoist palace.

As for the ghosts that can exist for a long time, in addition to Wang Xiaoxu in front of him, Liang Meijuan before, Taoist Guanshan had also seen him once earlier.

That was when he hadn't grown up yet, his master got rid of a ghost in front of him.

But the difficulty of cultivation of these ghosts seems to be much easier than that of practitioners like them?
"A tribulation, Daoist."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him strangely, "According to your Dao Palace, is a calamity so easy?"

"Anyway, just put the tribulation that Wang Xiaoxu experienced, on me."

"Eh... put it on me before, I may not have chosen the right path."

If he had just died in his previous life, he would have suffered such a calamity as Wang Xiaoxu.

Most likely, he couldn't control it.

"...What will happen if you can't make it through?"

Taoist Guanshan hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Will it die? No, should it dissipate?"

People are already dead, and if they die again, they should be separated.

"No, it's just that the road is different."

Lu Zhengyi returned.

And Wang Xiaoxu, who was particularly embarrassed because the two of them discussed their embarrassing things, pricked up his ears and listened.

It happened so suddenly.

After waking up, he saw Lu Zhengyi, and then had his own super power. '

He hadn't had time to think about what would have happened if he hadn't restrained himself and walked in that door.

"If you choose the wrong one, will you become a ghost?"

Taoist Guanshan continued to ask.

Seeing Wang Xiaoxu like this, it must be the right choice.

If she chooses wrong, will she become like Liang Meijuan?

"Master Daoist, I feel that there is a conflict between my ideas and yours. Before that, I still felt that the two of us got along very well." Lu Zhengyi was a little helpless, "Your ancient law is not the current principle, really. It fits my idea very well.”

"But I feel now that we are different."

"Do you think that for heaven and earth, there is good and evil in this world? If He is conscious, from which angle should he look at good and evil?"

Taoist Guanshan fell silent.

After a while, he suddenly spoke with a somewhat complicated tone, "I always feel like you know more than me."

"You're only in your twenties, why do you know so many things?"

"Although I have read about the term robbery in ancient books, I dare not say it with such certainty."

There are fewer and fewer mysteries in this world.

Whether it is a practitioner, or a so-called spirit or ghost.

And likewise, knowledge is decreasing.

Whether those things passed down from ancient times are useful or not, neither he nor other people in the Dao Palace can guarantee.

But the other party was able to say it with such certainty, and even knew it!
On the sofa, Lu Zhengyi stroked Xiao Zhongyong's hair without responding immediately.

In the room, quiet down.

Even Wang Xiaoxu stiffened his body unconsciously and closed his mouth tightly.

Taoist Guanshan didn't urge him, he just sat there, waiting for an answer.

As for the distinction between good and evil.

In fact, he can understand.

But understanding does not mean being transparent.

This is probably the so-called misunderstanding and cognitive limitation.

People can't really look at things from all angles, just like he looks at those who may destroy the peaceful environment as a person who pursues stability, they are wrong.

But what if it's the other way around?
Those who wish not for peace, but for a warmer world, to break out of solidification, are themselves in the wrong.

Guanshan Taoists can understand it, but they cannot fully understand it.

"I remember that there is a saying in your Taoist palace, which is 'First seek the inside, then seek the outside.'"

Lu Zhengyi was quiet for a while, and finally spoke.

"First observe yourself, observe your body, observe your heart and thoughts."

"When you know enough about your body and heart, you can unswervingly pursue external changes."

"I feel that you may not be so determined now, and this is also my fault. The way you look now has actually changed from the way I first met you."

After opening these few words, Taoist Guanshan, who was still seriously waiting for the answer, paused.

……

……

"Is such that."

A woman in a nurse's uniform led the way and explained in a low voice, "We are a public nursing home. Many elderly people in society who have no children to support them, or whose children have not fulfilled their obligations to support them, will be sent here."

"And some time ago, an old lady on this floor died of illness."

"The old lady loved to watch TV when she was alive, here, just sit in that rocking chair."

As she spoke, she pointed to the rocking chair next to the bed in the ward.

"And since she passed away, the TV has been turned on by itself every night, and no one has pressed the switch!"

The little nurse explained nervously, "Everyone says that the old lady's ghost is still here."

"Originally, the old people who lived on this floor did not dare to live there, and all moved upstairs."

"But this is a public nursing home, and we can't really vacate this floor, so we called."

After receiving the call from the liaison officer, Li Guoqiang and Huang Yaozu who hurried over to the nursing home stood at the door and observed the situation inside.

The inside is a very ordinary ward, and it looks a little old.

"Where's the switch?"

Huang Yaozu glanced inside, hesitantly asked the nurse next to him.

"over there."

The little nurse hurried back.

"Crack."

And at this moment, Bai Wei slapped the slate.

The surface of the lake in all shots came to an abrupt end.

"Is this the end of this paragraph?"

On the set, some people looked a little dazed.

They didn't understand why they didn't continue to shoot.

According to Lu Zhengyi's previous shooting methods, he always pursued long shots to the greatest extent, instead of always splitting shots.

"Let's stop here for now, you go to eat first."

Bai Wei greeted them with a smile, "Director Lu said, I will give you half a day off today."

"so good?"

"Wow, please have supper last night, and give me half a day off today, long live Director Lu."

"What about the next shoot?"

The staff present, including the supporting role of the little nurse just now, were a little dazed.

so good?
Director Lu, who has always been strict with this kind of shooting time, actually gave them a holiday?
"There are so many of us here."

Bai Wei waved his hand.

And next to him, Ajie who was in charge of the props team, and Wei Kang who was in charge of the photography team... also walked over slowly, and cooperated with him to start clearing the scene. '

During the whole process, Lu Zhengyi didn't speak behind the monitor, silently waiting for the others to leave.

Soon, with the cooperation of the rest of the crew, the number of people on the set was reduced by more than half.

"Next, it's up to you."

Lu Zhengyi looked at Wang Xiaoxu who showed his figure with phantom.

Originally, this episode was not included in today's shooting plan.

But because of Wang Xiaoxu's ability, he temporarily shifted the camera to the front and tried to take pictures first.

"Come on, Brother Wang."

Wei Kang raised his hand in the distance and said.

He, the leader of the photography team, personally came on stage and started adjusting the camera positions.

"Brother Wang, do you need to prepare this rocking chair?"

The props are also being prepared.

"No, no, it should be possible to project them together."

As the first official work, Wang Xiaoxu seemed a little nervous.

"First of all, there's this old lady sitting on the chair."

Next to him, as the team leader of the post-production group, Xu Feng held up a tablet and explained to him, "She will sit in this seat, and when Li Guoqiang finishes observing the photos of her before she was alive, you will let her suddenly appear in the camera. way, cut into the shot."

"Uh-huh."

Wang Xiaoxu replied absently, staring at the place where the phantom should appear later.

Immediately afterwards, an old lady shaking a chair appeared there.

And his own phantom slowly disappeared in front of everyone.

but……

"what?"

The others looked at the old lady who suddenly appeared in a daze.

The rocking chair is right, the picture is right, the old lady is wrong.

Originally still holding the script, Zhang Yuming, who was looking for a state of play, directly spit out the water he just drank with a 'poof'.

"This...how does this look so much like an aunt enjoying the shade in the park."

Sitting next to Lu Zhengyi, Zhang Xueming was supposed to be on the plane back to Beijing today. After all, the things that Lu Zhengyi mentioned at the beginning could not be considered and perfected in a day or two.

But something like that happened yesterday, how to say today, should also leave a long experience.

And this knowledge has indeed increased.

Originally, as a ghost, Wang Xiaoxu made people feel a little uncomfortable.

But now the image of him in her heart suddenly became a little... lively.

In front of everyone's eyes, what appeared to be a wealthy aunt was sitting happily on the rocking chair.

That's true in a horror movie... with a bit of comedy.

"What's the matter, Brother Wang?"

Xu Feng scratched his head and looked at the air beside him.

"This... I can't think of it."

When Wang Xiaoxu's voice sounded again, the aunt in the corner disappeared.

"A... a scary old lady, I can't think of it."

"There's no picture, there's no picture in my mind."

"Why, how can it be considered scary."

He looked at everyone uneasily.

But Lu Zhengyi was not surprised when he looked at him.

He actually thought of it last night.

Wang Xiaoxu was able to present a terrifying and intuitive image of Chu Renmei in front of everyone so straightforwardly.

That's because he saw the old corpse in the mountain village before he was alive, and he really had a shadow over Chu Renmei.

Wang Xiaoxu only needs to dig out the Chu Renmei in his heart.

But now, the crew needs him to imagine a character that fits the character out of thin air based on the script, so that's different.

In Wang Xiaoxu's mind, he had no picture of this creepy old lady sitting on a rocking chair, so he couldn't think of it!

And the others understood the meaning after listening to his explanation.

"It's all up to your imagination."

Lu Zhengyi looked at him helplessly, "Or... Fengzi, see if you can find some similar videos and pictures to show him."

"Keywords like creepy rocking chair old lady."

"It seems that I was right to hand him over to you. If you have time, tell him more about the ghost stories and supernatural events you saw in the video before. It would be even better if there were video materials. We have to Exercise and exercise the imagination of Brother Wang."
