When the opening ceremony ended, it was already close to noon. Director Fu shouted and called the crew to have lunch together.
Because the filming schedule was tight and the filming would officially start in the afternoon, no one drank alcohol during lunch. After a few simple words, everyone filled their stomachs and returned to the hotel for a nap.
After returning to his room, Xia Yuyang took out Da Bai, who was hidden in his pocket, and placed him on the ground. He had stayed outside for the entire morning, which was a rare occurrence. Da Bai had been on tenterhooks the entire time, but now that he had entered the room, the hedgehog visibly relaxed and collapsed onto the floor. It looked like it was scared witless.
"Da Bai, I think there's something wrong with that Jiang Xuekai. It was resentment at the film set, and the target was Jiang Xuekai.”
Hearing Xia Yuyang's words, Da Bai got up from the ground and spoke in the human tongue.
"It's him. If I'm not wrong…this resentment should be left behind by an earthbound spirit that once stayed here. Now that there's no shadow, only resentment remains. Moreover, the resentment is also aggressive. There's a high chance that the earthbound spirit has become a malicious ghost, which is why it has the ability to move freely.”
A malicious ghost? Generally, people who died tragically in a certain place would become earthbound spirits after death, and their movements would be restricted. If such vengeful spirits did not hurt people or commit crimes, the underworld would send messengers of death to take them to reincarnate after a certain period of time. It wasn't impossible for an earthbound spirit to become a malicious ghost, but the probability was relatively low. He didn't expect to encounter one here. Who knew what Jiang Xuekai had done to make a dead person brood so much that he did not hesitate to attract resentment into his body and cultivate into a malicious ghost.
One had to know that when a malicious ghost was born, its hands would be stained with human lives. And ghosts who committed the crime of killing would not have it easy after entering the underworld.
"Just now when you were leaving, I left a spiritual sense to follow Jiang Xuekai, but I couldn't enter his room. There was a restriction around his room, and from the looks of it, it should have been done by the expert protecting him. I was afraid that I would fall into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so I didn't go.”
Just as Xia Yuyang was lost in his thoughts, Da Bai spoke again.
Although I'm quite touched that you're protecting me like this, I keep feeling that you didn't go personally because of your social phobia, not because of this kind of superior thought.
Although he was complaining in his heart, Xia Yuyang still praised Da Bai in order not to hurt Da Bai's pride.
As the saying went, flattery was useless, and Da Bai's tail was raised after receiving the praise.
The man and the hedgehog chatted briefly about their discoveries. Xia Yuyang then tidied up the wardrobe and laid out a cushion that he had specially brought from home to make a safe nest for Da Bai. Da Bai was very satisfied.
During lunch break, Xia Yuyang lay in bed and searched for some of Jiang Xuekai's experiences. Although they were in the same industry, the height of the Best Actor was something he didn't even dare to imagine in the past. Therefore, he only knew Jiang Xuekai's name and achievements, but he didn't know the story before he became famous.
With this search, Xia Yuyang managed to find some clues.
Jiang Xuekai was 32 years old this year. He had entered the industry at the age of 19. As the fans who supported the celebrity economy gradually became younger and younger, it was easier for young male celebrities to become popular in the industry. For a traditional handsome man like Jiang Xuekai, it was very difficult for anyone to get his looks from this unknown celebrity before he really made a name for himself in the industry.
He had debuted as a stunt double and had acted as a stunt double for many famous celebrities in many popular dramas, but he had never had the chance to show his face.
Strictly speaking, Jiang Xuekai had only become famous in the past two years. It was quite a coincidence. According to some entertainment reporters online, Jiang Xuekai was about to go for an interview for a male lead double in a small production TV series. In the end, the male lead was late for the interview. The director, who felt humiliated, was furious. When he saw Jiang Xuekai, he immediately liked him. Just like that, a small production low-budget drama and a male lead picked up from the streets allowed Jiang Xuekai to officially show his face in front of the audience. In the end, it became popular and he became famous.
Perhaps it was because of his popularity that people were nurtured. Xia Yuyang looked at the photos of Jiang Xuekai when he first entered the industry posted by the gossip reporters online. He looked very young and rustic. If he looked closely, he could see that his facial features were handsome, but he was not the kind of handsome man at first glance. He was not like the current star-studded man, and his every move was noble.
However, he had been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years without becoming famous. Why was it like he had eaten a good luck buff now? Ever since he became famous, his reputation had been excellent, and his image to the public was extremely positive. From fans to passersby, he was very popular. How could a person not be scolded in the industry? However, Jiang Xuekai was different. He didn't have any enemies or anti-fans. Compared to his humble experience in the past ten years, his star path in the past two years was unbelievably smooth.
If it was before, Xia Yuyang would only sigh and say that he was lucky. But now, it seemed that the real reason for Jiang Xuekai's popularity was probably not that simple.
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone arrived at the set and started work on time.
In the movie " Brothers," apart from the two important roles of the older brother and younger brother, there was also a main supporting actress. Director Fu had chosen Chen Sisi, who was in the limelight this year and had good acting skills.
The character played by Chen Sisi could be said to be the younger brother's official couple. She was a loyal and beautiful female subordinate, so there were many conflicts with Jiang Xuekai's character.
In order to get a good omen, the director would not pick a scene that was too difficult to shoot for the first scene.
The first scene that Director Fu chose was a scene where one of the human traffickers 'hideouts was reported. The older brother brought a small team of people to scout the place, and the female subordinates covered the younger brother's retreat.
Xia Yuyang had nothing to do with this scene. It was mainly the scene between Chen Sisi and Jiang Xuekai. There were a few simple martial arts moves.
The filming went smoothly. When the female subordinate received the message from her underling and knew that the others had successfully retreated, the female subordinate should have thrown a smoke grenade and led the team to retreat after exchanging a few moves with her brother. Director Fu was already prepared to shout cut.
Who knew that at this moment, things would change. Chen Sisi was in a state of madness. Her eyes were red as she rushed over and grabbed Jiang Xuekai's neck. If it wasn't for the fact that all the staff members at the scene saw it with their own eyes, no one would dare to believe that an exquisite little girl like Chen Sisi would have the strength to lift a tall man.
Everyone was caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events. Jiang Xuekai obviously did not expect this situation.
"Chen Sisi, what are you doing! What kind of drama is this! Hurry up and put her down!"
Director Fu was furious. A good scene was ruined just like that. He thought that Chen Sisi had added the scene herself.
Chen Sisi, who was in the arena, turned a deaf ear to the commotion outside the arena. Instead, she tightened her grip, and the long hair tied behind her head even seemed to move without wind.
Seeing that Jiang Xuekai's face was red, everyone felt that something was wrong. The staff rushed forward to help.
Xia Yuyang also followed them into the scene. Before they could reach the two people, Chen Sisi seemed to have been sucked away by something. She fell to the ground softly. Jiang Xuekai fell to the side and pressed his hand on his neck, coughing non-stop. Chen Sisi was already unconscious.
The others couldn't react in time to this scene, but they still ran over immediately. Some helped people up, and some handed water.
Only Xia Yuyang, who had been paying attention to Jiang Xuekai, saw his small movement. When Chen Sisi seemed to be really determined to strangle him, Jiang Xuekai struggled to reach into his pocket and took something out. Then, Chen Sisi fell down without warning.
As for Chen Sisi's sudden berserk state, in the words of others, she was possessed. In fact, this was not wrong. Her symptoms just now were no different from being possessed, but it was not that she had encountered a ghost, but that she was controlled by resentment.
The malicious ghost had yet to show up, but just a trace of resentment had caused such a huge commotion in the production team. Moreover, if Xia Yuyang was not mistaken, this resentment was much stronger than the small commotion when they started filming in the morning. It was as if they had seen their enemy and were agitated.
What was interesting was that while the resentment was controlling Chen Sisi, it was paying attention to the direction of the camera the entire time, and its positioning was flawless. If this scene was already in the script, then the performance just now could be said to be textbook.
It seemed that this ghost that had yet to appear was also in the entertainment industry when it was alive. Not only that, but its acting skills seemed to be quite good.
