The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 287: Guest appearance

Views:

Still half drunk in the early morning, at eight o'clock, Jian Jing went downstairs to have breakfast, and saw the perfect Kang Mucheng again.

He still has a cup of coffee and a sandwich.

Jian Jing was tired: "You stay up all night and have a hangover without rest, and you are not afraid of sudden death."

Kang Mucheng glanced and said, "I have woken up."

He snorted softly: "If you feel uncomfortable, just take a rest. Why work so hard? There is no end to making money."

Kang Mucheng said calmly: "It's just a drink. What about you, nothing happened last night?"

Jian Jing shrugged: "Nothing happened."

"That's good." Kang Mucheng didn't mention Miss's email at all, and said, "I got the award. I'll sort out the photos from yesterday. Besides the news here, I should also keep up with the domestic publicity."

Jian Jing: "I'll listen to you."

"I'll probably stay for another week. What are you going to do?" Kang Mucheng knew that he had been very reluctant to let him attend the cocktail party yesterday, so it would be better to wait for him to deal with the follow-up matters. "Go out and have fun?"

Jian Jing nodded happily: "I think so too. Since we are here, let's just treat it as a trip."

Kang Mucheng looked at her worriedly and hesitated: "How about Diane..."

"No need." He smiled. "You don't need a secretary. It doesn't matter. I'm not a child anymore. I don't need someone to accompany me when I travel."

Kang Mucheng: "It's not as safe here as it is in China."

Jian Jing smiled, moved her seat, sat close to him, and then opened her palm, revealing a large lipstick. She introduced it in a low voice: "It's a small toy I bought recently. It only has one bullet, which is enough for self-defense."

Kang Mucheng frowned.

He sat back down as if nothing had happened: "Don't worry about me, worry about you. There are so many shootings in New York. You should hire two bodyguards."

Kang Mucheng laughed: "That's not necessary."

"Is necessary."

The two were arguing when Jian Jing's cell phone rang.

Jiang Baiyan called.

It felt a bit strange, so I answered the call immediately.

"Jingjing, the producer of the haunted house asked me if you were in the United States." Jiang Baiyan called specifically for business. "They are filming a movie here and wanted to know if you would like to make a cameo appearance."

Jian Jing was surprised: "Can variety shows be used to make movies?"

"It's a reality show movie," he said. "You didn't want to go, so I found an excuse to turn them down."

Jian Jing thought about it and decided to go out for fun anyway. The haunted house in Haunted Mansion was always fun, so she asked, "Where is it? Is it far away?"

"Ya Tu." Jiang Baiyan asked, "Do you want to go? If so, I will go with you."

‌ said: "I'll think about it and tell you later."

"Ok." He simply hung up.

Kang Mucheng then asked, "What's the matter?"

Jian Jing told him what happened, and he agreed: "Go ahead." Instead of wandering around the United States alone, it would be better to meet up with the haunted house program crew, where there are many people, it is safe and lively.

"Okay, let's see."

It’s settled.

Kang Mucheng was suffering from the aftereffects of a hangover, and asked a little later, "Jiang Baiyan is going too?"

Jian Jing made a face at him.

“No one abroad is filming it, and even if they did, I would ask them to delete it.” He promised.

Kang Mucheng sighed.

"Sigh, it's easy to get old." He pushed the noodles he wanted over to her and said, "Eat something soft. Sandwiches are cold and not good for your stomach."

Kang Mucheng paused, obediently put down the remaining sandwich, and picked up the fork to eat the noodles.

It’s not authentic, but it’s warm and soft, and it makes my stomach feel a lot better.

Since she had decided to go to the haunted house, Jian Jing acted quickly. She checked out at noon and took the nearest flight to Yatu in the afternoon.

The travel companion became Jiang Baiyan.

He has become stronger, and although he still looks thinner than others, you have to know that in order to appear on camera, he usually looks several times thinner than ordinary people and is very skinny. Only in this way can he turn into a handsome boy in front of the camera.

When he was in rose gold, he gained some weight, but he was still relatively thin in real life. When we met again today, he finally looked like a normal young man.

"You've gained weight." Jian Jing handed over a bag of snacks, "Can you eat it now?"

Jiang Baiyan immediately opened it and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling: "I can eat it, I can eat it. Now I can eat anything. I can eat a big bowl of rice, steak, pork chop, lamb chop, all are no problem."

Jian Jing sighed: "You were so miserable before."

"It's inhumane." He slumped down in his chair, thinking about it, "Carbohydrates are great, fats are great, I don't want to eat eggs every day to grow muscles anymore."

Jian Jing: "Be careful or you'll become a fat man."

"That's not the case. I exercise every day." He quickly lifted up his T-shirt to show his abdominal muscles. "Look, they're still pretty good."

Jian Jing said sternly: "The morals of the world are going downhill."

"I'm not the one who posts pictures of handsome guys on WeChat Moments." He muttered.

Jian Jing pretended not to hear.

The domestic flight only takes a few hours, and everyone arrives in Yatu in the evening.

After a night's rest, we will meet up with the production crew the next day.

The filming location is said to be in Yatu, but it is not in the city, but in a nearby town two hours away by car. When we arrived at the location, we saw that it was a real scene.

The entire haunted house occupies a corner of the town, including a farm, a hotel, a road and a forest.

There are also streams, cabins and caves in the woods.

Jian Jing: I want to play.

Why are haunted houses in this world so interesting

"Teacher Jian, this show is good, isn't it?" The director winked at him, "This is a Sino-US co-production. It's a rare opportunity. Do you want to be a guest star?"

Jian Jing stood next to the camera, observed it carefully, and said regretfully: "It's not an immersive experience."

"That's not easy to do. The real haunted house is just the hotel on the farm. There are some small traps in other places." The director explained, "The woods are too dangerous. We can't let you run around freely."

Jian Jing said: "Then it's not real enough."

"A reality show movie is still a movie," the director said, "but the script only has an outline, and they still don't know the specific details."

Jian Jing asked: "Can I take a look around?"

The director smiled and said, "Of course, this farm is open to the public and can be used as a normal B&B."

Jane Jing strolled away contentedly.

Jiang Baiyan moved a small stool and went over to watch the fun. Several guests were now in the basement, using the pre-arranged infrared cameras to do their best to capture the scene from all angles.

There is no need for a director to control or a cameraman to follow. Everyone is free to watch and chat.

The director asked: "Xiao Bai, would you like to make a cameo appearance?"

Jiang Baiyan: "I'm expensive."

The director laughed and said, "You cheapskate, look, Teacher Jian has agreed to it."

Jiang Baiyan said: "I can't show up with Teacher Jingjing, it will cause trouble for you."

"Huh?" The director was stunned, puzzled, "You haven't caught up yet? Didn't we come together?"

Jiang Baiyan sighed.

"Tell us quickly." Everyone loves gossip, and watching celebrity gossip up close is the greatest pleasure in the boring work.

Jiang Baiyan said: "No, I said I want to come to the haunted house too, so it's a good opportunity for us to come together."

The assistant director asked in surprise: "Is the rumor true or false?" He thought it was just a routine rumor-refuting.

Jiang Baiyan gave him a bitter face.

Having known each other for so many years, the director team and Jiang Baiyan have always gotten along well. Now they couldn't help but feel distressed (gloating): "What do you mean, can't catch up?"

Jiang Baiyan held his cheek and said, "Anyway, I won't come."

"Oh, now you're the boss, you're so proud, right?" The director pretended to be unhappy, "Get lost, you're not welcome here."

Jiang Baiyan wiped away her tears and said, "When you invited me, you said I was Xiao Tiantian. Now you don't need me anymore. You didn't even give me a 20-yuan lunch box. I'm going to expose you."

Everyone laughed, and the rift caused by his skyrocketing worth was also blown away along with the joke.

This is probably the reason why Jiang Baiyan is so popular.

He is not arrogant.

The filming lasted for three hours, with several breaks during which the guests went to the toilet and drank coffee. At noon, the farm had prepared food, and except for a few guests who went back to their rooms to eat alone, the staff gathered in the restaurant.

Jian Jing ate a hot beef burger and said, "This farm is quite fun. I found some interesting things."

After walking around the outside of the farm, I found a board under the haystack, which was soaked with blood. I opened it and found that the bottom was sealed. I looked closely at the gap and saw some strange patterns.

It's a sheep and an owl.

The decoration of the bathroom also has these two elements.

There is a huge deer head hanging in the pub. The decoration style is like that of the last century, and so is the music, as if time has stopped at a certain moment.

There are also wooden houses in the woods with bullet holes embedded in the wood, as if there had been a gunfight, and huge scratches all over the outer walls, suggesting that wild animals had visited.

"What's this story?" I couldn't help but ask the director.

The director said: "A group of college students went out for a trip and encountered a rainstorm, so they rested at this farm..."

Jian Jing was speechless: "Why do they always start like this?"

"You don't travel? You don't encounter heavy rain? The routine is not afraid of being old, as long as you feel involved." The director continued, "They checked into the guest room in the middle of the night and saw some inexplicable things. You were looking in the mirror, and the person in the mirror was smiling at you. There were people passing by your door repeatedly. It was obviously the first time here, but the owner of the farm knew what you like to eat and what you can't eat. It seemed like he had been here many times..."

It feels a bit like a horror movie.

Jian Jing asked: "Then what?"

"Then they went into the woods." The director threw out the bait, "What do you think, Mr. Jian? There will be a chase scene in the woods this afternoon. Do you want to make a cameo appearance?"

Jian Jing held her chin up: "What part?"

"The farm originally prepared several NPCs, but the most suitable one is the woman in the wooden house." The director patiently explained the role of this character.

The guests were chased by a monster and fled into the forest. There was a thunderstorm and they saw a new wooden house that was completely out of date.

There was someone in the cabin, a woman, who took them in, said a bunch of weird things, then went out to get some food, and never came back.

Jian Jing: "What a weakling."

The director remained calm: "Then there is another plot. Remember, the haunted house you played last time had an X club. Our worldviews are connected. Do you want to appear in this role?"

Jian Jing thought of the last time she played in the secret room, and the sunglasses group that appeared at the end, and asked, "Is he handsome?"

"You can be as handsome as you want." The director boasted. He chose Jian Jing mainly because her performance in the past few seasons was very good and the audience could not forget her, so he wanted to hide an Easter egg in the movie.

This seemed like a good way to end his haunted house show. Jian Jing thought about it and agreed.

The director was very excited and decided to arrange the scenes in advance and shoot the finale tomorrow.

Jian Jing: This is indeed a movie.

The director said, "I'll go borrow you a car, an off-road vehicle, how about that?"

Jian Jing hesitated to speak: "Actually..."

Everyone:"??"

‌It was said like this and like this.

The director was delighted and said, "Okay, no problem."

Then, I notified you to get up at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to film.

Jian Jing was confused: "Four o'clock?"

Director: "Yes, this is the last scene, of course we have to face the dawn and the rising sun."

Jian Jing wanted to change her words, but no one gave her a chance, so she pretended to be extremely busy.

"Teacher Jian, I'll come to see you at 12 o'clock tomorrow to put on makeup."

"I have some clothes here. Teacher Jian, please try them on later."

"Go to bed early tonight."

Alas, once you get on a pirate ship, it’s hard to get off.
