Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

"Ah!" The two screamed in surprise and hugged each other tightly.

The staff members nearby were startled and went over to ask, "Director, production assistant, are you alright?"

Zhao Dekai, who was the first to react, broke free from Xu Zhen's hands, coughed, and put on a calm demeanor, saying, "It's nothing. There was a poisonous insect on the ground just now, and I got bitten."

The staff member nodded and returned to their post.

Zhao Dekai glanced at Xu Zhen and said, "What's all the shouting about? You startled me!"

He spoke in a high-pitched voice, clearly still in a state of fear.

"How was it, Director? Did I do a good job?"

Zhao Dekai and Xu Zhen turned their heads at the same time and saw Liu Zhongze with his demonic makeup. The two couldn't help but shudder. After a while, Zhao Dekai revealed an ugly smile.

"Very good, Ms. Liu, you give me a unique feeling, but... I didn't have anyone set up the lighting for you, so why is there a white light on your face when you look at the camera?"

"This?" Liu Zhongze pulled a small flashlight out of his pants from his clothes. After turning on the light, he said, "I saw this in the dressing room and thought it might be helpful for filming, so I brought it over. I'll return it later."

Zhao Dekai gave an awkward smile: "Oh, I see. I thought..."

Xu Zhen swallowed hard, hiding behind Zhao Dekai, and asked, "Teacher Liu, how did you scare the photographer away just now?"

"A photographer? Scared away?" Liu Zhongze looked at the two of them with a questioning gaze. "I've never done anything like that."

All three fell silent.

After about three minutes, Zhao Dekai seemed to have composed himself and forced a smile as he said, "Then let's play the footage from just now and see how Teacher Liu created that terrifying atmosphere."

The three people were gathered in front of the camera. Because of the photographer's escape and Liu Zhongze's suddenly close face, the two people who had worked in horror movies for many years unconsciously hid next to Liu Zhongze.

This shot is very short, lasting less than five minutes.

On the screen, Liu Zhongze stood under the moonlight, his body limp and broken. He crawled toward the village with strange movements, like a cartilaginous animal.

"Wait!" Liu Zhongze noticed something and said, "Rewind about three seconds."

Liu Zhongze on the screen had no hands or feet to help him, but he moved very quickly, as if he had already adapted to this way of moving.

Zhao Dekai and Xu Zhen watched it again, but nothing happened. Zhao Dekai asked, "Teacher Liu, are you not satisfied with this shot?"

Liu Zhongze shook his head, signaling Xu Zhen to step back again, his finger resting on the pause button.

As the screen resumed playing at a certain point, Liu Zhongze's finger swiftly fell, freezing the image at its most eerie moment!

"Hiss..." Zhao Dekai gasped.

As Xu Zhen backed away, he asked, "What...what is this?"

It turns out that in this shot, there was a shadow following behind Liu Zhongze, which didn't look like a person, but more like a black stray dog ​​following behind Liu Zhongze.

Liu Zhongze squinted and asked, "Could there be something wrong with the camera?"

"No...impossible!" Xu Zhen felt a sense of relief as his back pressed against the wall. He said, "The evil spirit you played wasn't made up out of thin air; it's a story that's actually circulating in the village. We just adapted it into a movie by combining folklore."

"Xu Zhen!" Zhao Dekai glared at Xu Zhen, but fear lurked deep in his eyes. "Are you saying there are evil spirits following us? What era are we living in? You still believe in this stuff?"

Zhao Dekai's words seemed to be just to reassure everyone and not to be afraid because of some rumors. This was not the first time he had filmed a movie in a place with supernatural legends, and he had never encountered anything unusual.

Therefore, Zhao Dekai was very worried that Liu Zhongze would be frightened and withdraw from the event.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Zhongze showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he comforted the group, saying, "Even if it's a real ghost, it doesn't matter. As long as the script is written correctly, even if it's a real ghost, it will definitely be one that can distinguish right from wrong!"

Liu Zhongze asked Xu Zhen, "Are there any places nearby that sell funeral supplies? I want to buy some paper money for him. Regardless of whether he exists or not, we have already offended him by writing him into the story."

After calming down, Zhao Dekai walked over to Liu Zhongze and said, "Teacher Liu, you don't need to worry so much. We didn't encounter any strange phenomena when we were filming at the mass grave. Perhaps it's just a camera malfunction..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Zhongze interrupted him: "I'm not into any feudal superstitions, I just think everyone should be respected, even the deceased. If you think what I'm doing is wrong, I can pay for it myself and try to burn some paper money for him without disturbing everyone's work."

"Teacher Liu, what are you saying? It's just burning paper money, no big deal." Zhao Dekai waved to Xu Zhen by the wall and said, "While it's still dark, go outside and buy some tissues. Remember, the paper money must be in paper form!"

Zhao Dekai patted Xu Zhen on the shoulder and whispered, "See if you can find some capable people to buy some talismans from, but don't make a fuss."

Xu Zhen opened his eyes wide and asked in a low voice, "Director, didn't you not believe in this?"

"It's better to believe it exists than not to believe it doesn't. When I say don't believe it, I mean don't let everyone believe it. If everyone believes it, how can I film this movie?" Zhao Dekai pointed to a few places and continued, "If you have talismans, be sure to place them in a corner to protect our staff."

"But..."

"But what? Don't tell me you're a staunch materialist right now."

Xu Zhen hesitated before speaking, "That's not what I meant. I meant, I'm... afraid..."

Zhao Dekai remained silent, and finally grabbed another staff member from the film set to accompany Xu Zhen to buy paper money.

After resolving the issue, Zhao Dekai returned to the monitor, while Liu Zhongze continued to observe his own changes, trying to find areas where he could improve.

Zhao Dekai maintained his smile and said, "Teacher Liu, we have one more shot tonight, which requires footage of you coming and going in the village."

"no problem."

As Liu Zhongze walked to the village entrance, after confirming that it was safe to film, he lost control of his limbs once again, fell to the ground, and then crawled on the ground like a mad dog, relying on the parts of his body that he could move.

He had only been performing for a short time when another accident occurred!
