Those Years I Employed Non-Humans as Actors

Chapter 22: Sign the contract

"Then I'll go too." Qian Duoqun knew he had done something wrong, so he took a step back and ran away.

"Stop." Zhong Jiudao's suppressed angry voice sounded.

Qian Duoqun said with a grimace: "I didn't expect you to have that kind of thing in your room. No human or non-human in our crew would dare to enter your room. If I had known there was an outsider, I would have been outside." Just tell you that Luo Huai is here too."

Zhong Jiudao told himself not to be angry. It is not easy to be a director, and it is even more difficult to be a poor director. It is especially not easy to be a poor director who uses non-human beings as actors. He must be calm when encountering special situations. Otherwise, what can he do

"I'm not angry," Zhong Jiudao said calmly, "I just want to give you something."

He took out a cardboard box from the room and stuffed it into Qian Duoqun's hands: "If anything happens in the future, please let it report first. I will make it remember to be invisible at all times. Except for you, it will be invisible at all times." People can’t see it.”

"What the hell... ah!" Qian Duoqun opened the box and stared at him with a pair of beads as usual.

"Let's go." Zhong Jiudao pushed Qian Duoqun out of the door, closed the door, and let him and Zhu Zhu live in peace.

Qian Duoqun was about to cry, so he had no choice but to take Zhu back to his room. He used his amazing communication skills, which he had been doing in the entertainment industry for many years, and said to Xi Zhu as friendly as possible: "Hey~ I've seen you for a long time, you're pretty It’s so cute, so soft and bouncy.”

When Qian Duoqun and Zhu Zhu were living in "harmony and friendship", Zhong Jiudao was always looking for opportunities to explain to Luo Huai.

Because the scene was too embarrassing, it seemed that several people couldn't explain it clearly, so Zhong Jiudao wanted to get closer to Luo Huai first.

He bought the same Liuxin cheesecake as Luo Huai's snacks, and at the same time prepared a contract with a salary of RMB 10,000, intending to repay the cheese cake and increase Luo Huai's salary.

After all, Luo Huai was responsible for finding high-quality free soundtracks, and his salary was too low. After Zhong Jiudao had a little more money, he wanted to compensate the human actors.

Look at this ‌‌ actor who was so frightened that his face turned pale. It would be unjustifiable not to compensate.

When Zhong Jiudao handed the cheesecake to Luo Huai, Luo Huai was very happy. After accepting the cake, he said, "It's my favorite brand. Thank you, Director Zhong. I'm sorry."

Zhong Jiudao saw that Luo Huai did not avoid him because of what happened last night, so he took out the contract with confidence.

Luo Huai's expression suddenly changed after reading the contract, as if he had been betrayed and said: "Director Zhong, who do you think I am! I discovered your secret accidentally, and it's me who should apologize, and forget about you. If you don’t tell me, I won’t tell anyone, please don’t do this to me.”

After saying that, she ran away with a sad face, holding the cheese cake in her arms.

Zhong Jiu said: "..."

He was quite happy to receive the cake, but why did he change his face when he was given a salary increase

Next, Luo Huai began to avoid Zhong Jiudao and never got along with Zhong Jiudao except at work, until Pang Xinhao and others finalized the deal.

On the night of filming, Luo Huai was a little reluctant to let go of Pang Xinhao. He secretly ran out of the room in the middle of the night and wanted to stay in Pang Xinhao's room for one night. After all, this circle is not big or small. After this, I don't know when. We can meet each other now.

Little did Luo Huai know that all the ghosts in the villa were staring at his door. Before he could reach Pang Xinhao's door, he was grabbed by Zhong Jiudao, forcefully dragged into the room, and turned around for him. Over 10,000 yuan.

Luo Huai refused to give up, so Zhong Jiudao stepped forward to grab the mobile phone and wanted to help Luo Huai with payment. He forgot to close the door while snatching the room, and Pang Xinhao saw everything. Zhong Jiudao took advantage of Luo Huai's distraction. ‌Successfully disperse wealth.

After driving Pang Xinhao away, Luo Huai was angry and anxious: "What did he misunderstand!"

Zhong Jiudao said sincerely: "How is your heart?"

"I want to slap Pang Xinhao on the head and make him delete the idea he just had," Luo Huai said.

"I felt the same way after you ran away that day." Zhong Jiudao said.

Luo Huai was stunned. The similar scene made him feel the same for Zhong Jiudao, and he couldn't help but ask: "Did I misunderstand Director Zhong that day?"

But in that kind of scene, there is no misunderstanding, right

"Meeting is not necessarily true. I'll take you to meet the person that night." Zhong Jiudao said.

Luo Huai actually didn't see anything clearly that day. He only saw a flash of flowers. Then he turned his head in embarrassment. He didn't even see clearly what the man on the bed looked like. Now he heard that Director Zhong said he wanted to take him with him. When I went to see that person, I immediately shook my head like a rattle: "No more."

"We must." Director Zhong insisted, his innocence was important.

He took Luo Huai to the third floor. From the moment they stepped out of the door, the third floor entered a state of intense preparation.

Shen Leshan said to his little brother Jiang Fen who came here: "Do you remember what you should say and what you shouldn't say?"

"I remember, but Brother Shen, is it really okay to explain this way?" Jiang Fen asked hesitantly.

"Are you questioning my strategy?" Shen Leshan glared angrily, "Who am I? I have planned several large-scale group activities!"

"When was it?" Jiang Fen humbly asked Senior Li Gui for advice, "Is it a variety show or a party?"

Shen Leshan: "The first time was nearly a hundred years ago, when I led my classmates to protest on the streets to resist the cowardly and incompetent warlord government."

"A hundred years ago? What happened next?" Jiang Fen was in awe.

Shen Leshan: "Then the shameless ruling class used the army to suppress us. We were killed and injured. I, the leader, was caught, skinned and thrown aside."

Jiang Fen: "...what about the second time?"

Shen Leshan: "I organized the ghosts in the whole villa to rise up and resist, broke the talisman array set up by Director Zhong, controlled Pang Xinhao, and took Director Zhong's blood!"

Jiang Fen knew how disastrous Zhong Jiudao was in the world of ghosts, and he immediately said in reverence: "So you became so strong because you took the blood of Director Zhong?"

Shen Leshan: "That's not true. Later, we were beaten up by Director Zhong, carved ghost marks, and became his ghost servants."

Jiang Fen: “…”

Shen Leshan: "You don't care so much. Take off your clothes quickly and stand by the window and hum a song."

Jiang Fen wanted to escape, but he couldn't defeat Shen Leshan, so he had no choice but to obey.

As soon as Luo Huai went up to the third floor, he heard someone singing a strange song. Coupled with the gloomy atmosphere of the villa, the atmosphere immediately became scary.

"Who is singing? It's a bit weird, but it sounds pretty good." Luo Huai approached Zhong Jiudao with a little fear.

"This should be the person we are looking for. He is here." Zhong Jiudao knocked on the door of an empty room, but no one responded.

"Strange, he should be in this room?" Zhong Jiudao said.

At this time, the door of the next room opened, and Shen Leshan stuck his head out: "Director Zhong, are you looking for Jiang Fen? He is in my room."

"Why did you come to your place?" Zhong Jiudao took Luo Huai's hand and walked towards Shen Leshan.

Shen Leshan opened the door wide, allowing Luo Huai to see Jiang Fen singing crazily to the moon.

The scene that was almost copied and pasted made both Luo Huai and Jiang Fen extremely embarrassed, so Luo Huai saw a bunch of colorful people rushing from the window to the bed and covering themselves with quilts.

Seeing this, Zhong Jiudao pulled Shen Leshan out of the room, closed the door and asked, "Is he doing his old habits again?"

"Yes, this is probably an artist's quirk." Shen Leshan sighed.

"This...who is he?" Luo Huai asked, "Why is it always like this?"

Zhong Jiudao said: "He is the composer you found, and he is now the music director of our film. In fact, when you contacted him that night, he also contacted me, and rushed to our filming site that night and said To get inspired by watching the filming, he has been living on the third floor these days and often watches us filming.”

"So that's it. No wonder he hasn't replied to me," Luo Huai was slightly relieved, "But why is he like this?"

Shen Leshan stepped forward and explained: "Xiao Luo, you don't know something. Jiang Fen likes to drink. Every time he writes a song, he needs wine to inspire him. But when he drinks, he gets drunk, and when he gets drunk, he has to be honest with others. He couldn't see the moon in his room, so he insisted on running to my room to catch the moonlight. Many of the songs he composed were originally composed like this."

Luo Huai: "So that night..."

This set of rhetoric was made up by Shen Leshan from beginning to end. Zhong Jiudao didn't know the detailed reasons and couldn't explain it, so he could only make a point to Shen Leshan.

Shen Leshan said hurriedly: "It's like this. Our villa has a sense of history and horror. Jiang Fen was inspired when he entered the villa that day and started drinking and composing music. Director Zhong couldn't stop him. Just when I was trying to stop it, you and producer Qian came. It was such a coincidence."

"I wrongly blamed Director Zhong. I thought your lover came to visit the class... Oh, don't say it anymore. It's my fault." Luo Huai lowered his head to Director Zhong and said with guilt on his face.

"What's your fault? It's Jiang Fen's fault. He has a bunch of eccentricities." Zhong Jiudao consoled him.

"Then why did you give me so much money?" Luo Huai asked puzzledly.

"I really want to give you a salary increase. They also raised it a few days ago. If you don't believe me, you can ask." Zhong Jiudao said.

"The salary has increased so much? Do we have ⅞‌ investors?" Luo Huai asked curiously.

Zhong Jiudao was waiting for him to ask this question, and immediately explained: "It was Jiang Fen who brought the capital to join the group. He invested part of the capital first, and after the movie is released, he will get a share. He will use the money from the share to open a brokerage company." , it’s so convenient to sing for yourself.”

The story of opening a brokerage company is indeed true. Jiang Fen turned into a ghost after his death, so after all, the matter is unresolved. He came up with a song and used it to defeat his friends who had betrayed him.

But he no longer had a real identity to open a company, so he handed over all the money in his account to Zhong Jiudao, and Zhong would manage it and open a brokerage company. ‌Sing under a stage name and compete with friends behind your back.

Qian Duoqun had the intention of opening a company. After hearing the idea, he and Jiang Fen hit it off immediately. If Zhong Jiudao disagreed, they would start the business themselves.

Qian Duoqun is a human being after all, so if he can be left alone with Jiang Fen for too long, his life span will be shortened. Except for ‌ Zhu, ‌ Zhu is upright and awe-inspiring, which will only help Qian Duoqun accept the condemnation of his conscience.

In order to prevent this person from secretly plotting Chen Cang, Zhong Jiudao finally agreed half-heartedly.

After all, their movie will be released in the future, and it will be a bit embarrassing for these actors to find out that there is no such person in the entire entertainment industry.

‌And ‌it wasn’t that he didn’t want to start a company, but it was mainly due to economic constraints.

After listening to Zhong Jiudao's explanation, Luo Huai said worriedly: "Can our movie be released?"

In fact, Luo Huai was a little worried when filming. The movie is indeed good, but some of it is too big. The censorship system is so strict now. It would be great if their movie can be broadcast online as a major online movie. It seems unlikely that it will be released in theaters.

"There is hope," Zhong Jiudao said decisively, "I heard that there will be a report soon, which will appropriately relax the review of horror and suspense films, as long as the purpose of the story is to lead people to be positive and not to evoke emotions. Films about people's inner darkness have a chance of passing review. In addition, horror and suspense films are easier to play in theaters because they can enter with ID cards and theaters can better implement age classification."

"There is such a change!" Luo Huai's eyes lit up, "Then I will be able to appear on the big screen soon?"

"Of course, within these three months, we must seize the time to rush to the final stage and strive to submit it for review immediately after the application is issued. By then, we will definitely be the first to be released and seize the opportunity." Zhong Jiudao said.

"Great! Will Director Zhong, Brother Shen, Sister Qi, Sister Fu, and Aunt Yang all join the company?"

"They will be the future backbone of the company." Zhong Jiudao said.

Luo Huai crossed his fingers and looked at Zhong Jiu with a thoughtful look: "Director Zhong, look at me...can I join your company?"

Luo Huai feels that Director Zhong has a good temper, strength, and talent. He will take the initiative to increase the wages of actors. He must be a very good boss. He will definitely sign with a brokerage company in the future. It is better to work under Director Zhong than to sign with an unreliable black-hearted company.

Zhong Jiudao is waiting. Even if Luo Huai doesn't say anything, he will find a way to sign Luo Huai. After all, with Luo Huai's physique and luck, he is really worried about letting him go.

"Are you sure you want to join my company?" Zhong Jiudao asked.

"Sure! I think it will be okay to follow Director Zhong!" Luo Huai said confidently.

"Then sign the contract." Zhong Jiudao took out a thick stack of A4 paper from nowhere and handed it to Luo Huai.

Luo Huai took over the contract in a daze. Zhong's speed in exporting the contract must have been too fast. But it doesn’t matter, just sign it.

"First of all, hurry up and sign." Zhong Jiudao stopped Luo Huai when he saw that he was about to write his name without even looking at it. "Take the contract back tonight and read it carefully. Don't miss a word. You will never sign a contract in the future." Be so careful to avoid being deceived by word games.”

"Oh, okay." Luo Huai held the contract in his arms and went back to the room obediently.

When he walked downstairs, Jiang Fen, who had put on his clothes and made a grimace, emerged from the wall and asked Zhong Jiu curiously: "Director Zhong, where did you hear about the policy changes for horror and suspense films? I'm online every day. I didn’t find any rumors in the gossip.”

When he mentioned this matter, Zhong Jiudao's expression changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "I have a source of information."

This channel, of course, comes from his Celestial Master family. At the end of the Celestial Master world, when the Zhong family was declining day by day, the people in their family finally couldn't help but rebuild their faith.
