Those Years I Employed Non-Humans as Actors

Chapter 37: Get back on your feet

Views:

Zhong Jiudao sensed the connection with the ghost servants and saw that the thirty-three ghosts were still alive. If Luo Huai did not continue to describe the symbols, it would not be a big problem to persist for five, six, seven or eight days, so he would not do it in front of everyone. He asked for his wallet back immediately, but sat down to appease everyone.

As of the fourth day of the eleventh season, the box office of this movie totaled 970 million. Since the film only has one investor, Zhong Jiu Dao himself, even if the screening stops tomorrow, Zhong Jiu Dao can The box office share they received was NT$300 million, and they had already made a huge profit.

"We have no choice in traditional theater chains, but the video website with the highest traffic volume has agreed to buy our online broadcast rights and allow you to pay to watch them. The platform only charges a very low share, so our income can continue to increase. "The website also has two conditions, which I tend to agree with," Zhong Jiudao said.

"What conditions?" Upon hearing that the amount of money could be increased, Qian Duoqun immediately wiped away his tears and asked energetically.

"The first condition is that I hope Qi Wanlian can star in a movie invested and produced by the platform. The director is not me, so Qi Wanlian needs to film it herself." Zhong Jiudao said more solemnly.

Qian Duoqun: "..."

Company: If a murder occurs on an artist's filming set, how much compensation does the company need to pay

"The first condition is relatively simple. The video website is planning to produce a thriller escape room variety show. We hope that we will have a few people as regular guests, preferably the starring actors of "Fall House"." Zhong Jiudao said, "I will also participate in this variety show production."

Hearing that Zhong Jiudao could participate, Qian Duoqun breathed a sigh of relief: "So the variety show will also give money, right?"

"...Yes." Zhong Jiudao said.

The conditions proposed by the video website made Zhong Jiudao immediately think of one person - Ji Pan.

The two conditions are that Qi Wanlian can often appear on the screen, and the fairy tale drama "Sword Tomb" starring Ji Pan is invested and produced by a website. The video website must be inextricably linked with Ji Pan. And Ji Pan dreams that Qi Wanlian can get rid of Zhong Jiudao's control.

"This is a good thing," Pang Xinhao said excitedly, "Not only can it be played on the Internet, but I also get two resources. It couldn't be better!"

"Indeed, it's just that Qi Wanlian has a difficult personality and needs an assistant to help her handle some trivial matters." Zhong Jiudao looked at Zhong Hongyan, who had just joined the team.

Zhong Hongyan was still in the shock of the close contact between Qian Duoqun and a pair of eyes. When he saw Zhong Jiudao looking at him, he pointed to his nose and said, "Me?"

"Yes, I thought about it. With Qi Wanlian's temper, I can only take her with me." Zhong Jiudao said, "Today is too late. I will introduce you to her another day."

Qi Wanlian is too weak today. Let her recover for a few days and see Zhong Hongyan again.

"In addition, the website said that the review standards for online movies are relatively not as high. Tonight, if we turn all the blood in the movie to black overnight and blur some scenes, it's probably OK. ‌It’s been reviewed,” Zhong Jiudao ordered.

Do I have to start working tonight? Zhong Hongyan was shocked.

Do companies run by his cousin generally exploit employees in this way? You haven't even been paid yet, so you started to stay up late and work overtime

"It's already ten o'clock. Let's go and rest. We'll discuss the follow-up matters tomorrow." Zhong Jiudao ordered.

As soon as he came back, everyone lost their backbone. They were very tired after worrying for a day, so everyone went to rest.

Because Luo Huai was holding a wallet in his hand, Qian Duoqun did not dare to live with Luo Huai when they were assigned accommodation, so he took Pang Xinhao to live in one room and Luo Huai lived in his own room. Now that Zhong Jiudao has returned, he naturally lives in a room with Luo Huai according to his previous habit, and opens another room for Zhong Hongyan.

So Zhong Hongyan watched helplessly as his cousin lived with a strange man and threw his cousin out of the room.

Zhong Jiudao's explanation was: "I have to stay up late to work tonight. In order not to disturb my rest, I'd better live by myself."

"Jiudao, that eyeball hanging on Qian Duoqun's body... doesn't look very good to me." Zhong Hongyan said hesitantly, "‌Can I seal that evil thing together?"

Zhong Jiu said: "That's not necessary. It is the last remaining conscience of Qian Duoqun. If it is really sealed, Qian Duoqun can squeeze out the remaining value of ‌ to the extreme."

Zhong Hongyan: "..."

Does a human conscience still need ghost eyes to maintain

Zhong Hongyan went back to his room to work in confusion. Only Luo Huai and Zhong Jiudao were left in the room.

"Director Zhong, this is your wallet, luckily you have lived up to your fate!" Luo Huai returned the wallet to Zhong Jiudao matter-of-factly.

"Thank you." Zhong Jiudao took the wallet.

"Why are you so polite?" Luo Huai waved his hand.

Qian Duoqun and Pang Xinhao were in agony because of the movie's release, but Luo Huai looked as usual. Zhong Jiudao was curious: "‌Why didn't you cry?"

"I cried at the beginning," Luo Huai said. "When Brother Qian told me that the movie was going to be released, I thought about how hard we worked on the production. Director Zhong stayed up late every day to shoot short videos. I was almost mad to death. . Then I still have to work, ‌ wipe away my tears, put on my makeup, and get into work mode as soon as possible. Then I feel that this is the end of the matter, and I will only punish myself with other people's mistakes, so it is better to find a way to remedy it as soon as possible. It's a pity that I'm stupid and can't think of anything, but Director Zhong is so awesome that he solved the subsequent problems in one go. "

"‌‌You are right to think so." Zhong Jiudao said.

If Luo Huai complains after receiving the news, the thing in the wallet will probably use this opportunity to trick him and wait for an opportunity to escape. At first glance, Luo Huai has the rare mentality of a heavenly master, but unfortunately his temperament is not suitable.

"By the way, paint and pens." Luo Huai took out the two items from the small bag he carried and handed them to Zhong Jiudao. Zhong Jiudao opened them and saw that the paint was gone.

Zhong Jiu said: "..."

There is no need to be so cruel to these things.

Luo Huai said sheepishly: "Aren't I angry? I know that practicing calligraphy can calm my mind. On the way to the next shooting location, I dipped in paint to draw patterns, and while painting, the paint disappeared. The car was bumpy on the road and I accidentally spilled a little paint on it, will it not be able to be washed off? "

"No, you did a great job." Zhong Jiudao praised Luo Huai.

Luo Huai had been exhausted physically and mentally after a long day. Now that Zhong Jiudao came back, his heart instantly relaxed. After taking a bath, he collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

Zhong Jiudao lived with him for two months. Knowing that Luo Huai slept very hard at night and would not wake up even if he was hit by thunder, he opened his wallet with confidence and let the paper people out.

They changed hotels, and the hotel Qian Duoqun booked was naturally not a suite, there was no distinction between inside and outside, it was just an ordinary standard room. Fortunately, there was a small balcony in the room. Zhong Jiudao put the paper people on the balcony and let them bask in the moonlight.

The thirty-three paper figures were as motionless as dead people. Seeing their pity, Zhong Jiudao dispersed the magic power in the paint and set up a spirit gathering array to help them recover.

The blood stains on the paper man were gradually absorbed. Once Zhong Jiudao dissipated his magic power, the blood he left in the paint lost its protection and could be freely absorbed by the evil spirits.

The paper figurine of ‌ has less paint, and the paper figurine of ‌ has more paint. Who can absorb more blood depends on the fate of ‌.

It would take some time for people to recover, so Zhong Jiudao simply sat on a small chair on the balcony and read online comments.

The news that "Fall House" has been canceled due to irregularities has spread, and the Internet is full of curses.

Is it not allowed to be played in theaters if it does not comply with the new regulations? ‌What did you think about when you first reviewed it? It was a trial at that time, why can't it be done now

I bought a ticket for October 5th, and I just received a refund notice. "Fallen House" will not be released, so the theater will lose a lot of money.

I really doubt who's in the way of "Falling House". Otherwise, if the boring and bloody "Shou Zheng Lu" next door is so cheerful, why should "Falling House" be released

Woohoo, I just watched a clip from the movie posted on the official blog. In it, Sister Qi explained that what she was licking was not blood, but ketchup. Sister Qi said that ketchup was delicious and that she hadn’t eaten anything sweet for a long time. , I couldn’t help but grab half the bottle with Sister Yue.

When was the behind-the-scenes video released? I’ll go see it!

Guagua Entertainment published an interview with Luo Huai. He said that on the set, it was almost impossible to see Sister Qi and the others going downstairs to eat. Sister Qi endured a lot of hardships in order to maintain her status. Once, they gathered together to eat cake in the middle of the night and were scolded by the director.

Sister Qi and Sister Yue are really thin. People tend to look a little fatter in the camera, but they are ‌ thin and good-looking in all directions. ‌ are the same as the paper figures. They have worked hard to maintain ‌‌ Too many.

Seeing the ‌ comments, Zhong Jiudao couldn't help but glance at the pieces of paper on the ground. Well, they are indeed very paper-like. The total weight of all of them must be a few grams.

In the interview with Pang Xinhao in the Yuyuan interview, he said that the crew was really miserable and poor. They had no investors at all. The director alone supported eight people, and the actors had to help carry props when they were busy. He also showed off his cooperation with the crew. He actually got zero pay to star in the movie. It was really not easy for the movie "Fall House" to be made. Wow.

Luo Huai’s interview was so exciting. He said that the filming and accommodation of the crew were in the same room. Once he got up in the middle of the night to find food and saw director Zhong Aunt Yang and Sister Qi auditioning for a scene. Aunt Yang Chopping frozen meat in the middle of the night scared him so much that he burst into tears on the spot. From then on, when he saw Aunt Yang, her legs were too weak to run.

Pang Xinhao also said that in order to get into the role, the ghost actors in his crew usually talked about "how am I doing now". Every time he was scared during filming, he would look for the director everywhere, and the director felt the most at ease.

No wonder Pang Xinhao's poor acting skills were saved by the crew. He turned out to be such a dedicated director and actor.

The drama he starred in for zero pay must have been ruined. If he wants to get rid of his disfiguring acting skills, it is good to have such an attitude. I will support him in future works.

I'm going to cry, why can't good crew and actors be treated fairly? Who of you still remember that "Falling House" was only released for ten days! Less than a third of the time was spent, and the eleven best-grossing slots were not even finished.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I opened a small account to curse people.

I really didn't understand what the capital was thinking at the time. Did they think that when "Falling House" was released, we would watch "Shou Zheng Lu"? Stop joking, I’ll use my money to play games and charge up 648, but I won’t go to see a crappy movie!

Isn’t the crew a ‌ short video account? Don’t you consider starting a live broadcast? The reward I can give is not much, just a movie ticket to replace the ticket.

Support the crew’s live broadcast!

The comments about the movie and the characters were also heart-wrenching and encouraging. Zhong Jiudao felt enlightened after watching it.

He really doesn't feel too wronged. The revenue from the movie has far exceeded expectations. After a while, he will get his share of the box office, and he can start preparations for his next movie.

However, seeing so many comments on the Internet expressing their injustice, Zhong Jiudao suddenly felt that they were indeed a little sad, but a little aggrieved, and were quickly relieved by the comments from netizens who wanted to throw money at them.

Looking at the phone in a dark environment still causes some visual fatigue. Zhong Jiudao looked at it for a while, then put down the phone and looked at the surrounding environment to relieve eye fatigue.

His eyes fell on the many paper figures, and he was surprised to find that some of them recovered hundreds of times faster than he imagined.

According to Zhong Jiudao's idea, the ghosts were severely injured this time, and it is impossible to restore their previous skills. It is good to get more sunshine in the moon and practice for half a month to be able to move outside at dawn and dusk. .

Unexpectedly, energy from nowhere is pouring into the paper man from all directions. This energy is not resentment, but warm positive energy. The power that should repel the evil ghosts is nourishing the paper. People’s wounded souls.

If Luo Huai had not almost saved the paper man by accident, the little bits of positive energy like starlight would have been repelled by the paper man's yin energy and could not be absorbed. However, Luo Huai cleared the paper people's grievances at this moment, allowing them to absorb positive energy smoothly.

What surprised Zhong Jiudao the most was that the paper people's resentment disappeared, but they were not relieved. Instead, they were left with a warmer energy. The obsession is still there, but it slowly turns into attachment.

Qi Wanlian absorbed the most energy points. She quickly sat up lazily, rubbed her sore shoulders, and said to Zhong Jiudao: "Director Zhong, please do some personnel work in the future. Your wallet is really no place for ghosts. "

"Why don't you squeeze into a small room with thirty-three people?" Fu Yue also transformed and said, "‌'s wallet is more crowded than a frying pan in the underworld!"

Shen Leshan yawned and wiped his eyes in confusion: "Why am I crying? I can't stop crying. Who is calling my name and crying in mourning?"

Zhong Jiudao thought that the evil ghosts who woke up again would become Buddhas immediately. But now, it seems that the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. They still look like they are in need of beating. No matter how much positive energy they absorb, they have never been for it. I'm afraid Li Gui's character cannot be changed.

Fortunately, if these ghosts really spoke of love and peace, he would really not be able to adapt to it.
