Zhong Jiu worked on the script day and night for several days. The prototype of the first version of the script was finally completed, and his magic power was restored unknowingly.
The villa ghost didn't dare to cause trouble when his magic power was gone. Now that he feels that his magic power is powerful, he is naturally more at ease.
During this period, Zhong Jiu also took the time to draw three paintings, specifically Qi Wanlian, Fu Yue and Shen Leshan. These three people will participate in the recording of the second episode of the variety show in a few days. Zhong Jiu It’s better not to set up formations again, so they will naturally be covered with paint.
The three paintings are vivid and lifelike, except for the eyes.
There is an ancient legend about the finishing touch. Eyes are very important to a painting. After adding magical finishing touches, the painting will come alive.
Because of this importance, Zhong Jiu has always been a bit eye-catching.
He planned to use his own blood to mix the paint, which would deepen his control over the evil spirits, but he still needed the help of one person, and that person was naturally Luo Huai, so he needed Luo Huai's blood.
Taking blood is a simple matter. After all, he doesn't need much. He just pricks the blood with a needle and gets one or two drops, but Zhong Jiu has a feeling of saying no to Luo Huacun at this time. With unclear feelings, she was reluctant to prick him with a needle secretly. Even if it was just the pain of a mosquito bite, Zhong Jiu would do it himself.
After hesitating for two days, Zhong Jiu finally decided to arrange an employee physical examination and asked Qian Duoqun to contact the hospital.
When Luo Huai was drawing blood, he would quietly use his magic power to take one or two drops while the blood was still uncoagulated.
There are only three people in the company, so it is easy to contact them. Zhong Jiu has finished polishing the first version of the script and has made an appointment for a physical examination there.
"Physical examination?" Luo Huai said, "I have indeed had a physical examination for a long time. In the past, physical examinations were arranged every year in school. Now that I work by myself, it is easy to neglect it."
"We just have time recently, so let's go for a physical examination." Zhong Jiu stared at Luo Huai's face.
It had been three days since he saw Luo Huai. He didn't know what was going on in the past few days. He and Luo Huai always had dinner at the wrong time. If it wasn't Luo Huai, it would be him earlier. This morning Luo Huai simply took the dinner plate into the room and ate it.
Fortunately, Luo Huai went for a morning jog in the courtyard every day. Zhong Jiu looked at Luo Huai's running figure through the window.
Staring at it, Zhong Jiu couldn't help but move closer, swiping his fingers across the corners of Luo Huai's eyes: "You look like you don't look good. You have dark circles under your eyes at this young age. You've had a good rest recently. As an actor, you have to take good care of your body, otherwise you won’t be able to handle it when the intensity of filming is high.”
Luo Huai touched the place touched by Director Zhong and glanced at him quietly, his eyes seemed to be hiding a lot of words. In the end, he just said: "You still talk about me, look at the dark circles under your eyes. "
Zhong Jiu stayed up late every day to write the script and draw pictures. From time to time, he had to go out to suppress a group of ghosts in the villa. Occasionally, when he opened the short video software, he would be flooded with news urging for updates. Except for the day when Luo Huai moved out, he slept all day. After that, he slept no more than three hours a day. Now he looks very bad and looks more ghostly than Butler Lin.
One night, he was walking outside and was seen by Zhong Hongyan. Zhong Hongyan was so frightened that he thought he was possessed by a ghost in the villa.
"I've definitely been sleep deprived recently," Zhong Jiu said frankly, "but the script is almost done, so I can take a good rest for a few days."
"Is this going to be over soon?" Luo Huai was surprised.
"The outline and prototype of the story are complete, and the specific details are still being finalized. They will be adjusted according to the specific situation during shooting." Zhong Jiu explained.
"What kind of story is it?" Luo Huai asked, he had been curious for a long time.
"It is a criminal investigation movie with a bit of a fantasy color." Zhong Jiu said, "This time there is a ghost, but it is still a little suspense and thriller. I also added some comedy elements appropriately."
He told Luo Huai the story in detail. The protagonist of the story was a private detective. He was very courageous and helped his client find a lot of strong evidence. However, because of his investigative methods, he occasionally caused a little trouble for the criminal police team handling the case, which led to a bad relationship between him and the generals of the criminal police team, and the two disliked each other.
The team member had warned him that if he continued this investigation, he would encounter danger sooner or later. Some procedures are not only restraints, but also a kind of protection for him.
Of course the private detective was dissatisfied. One day, he received a commission for a case that had been unsolved 20 years ago. He was a well-known suspense novel writer at that time. His books were so popular that they left a huge following. At that time, the police suspected that a legacy was a murder, but several suspects had clear alibi, and the case became an unsolved case.
Twenty years later, clues were rediscovered. The private detective went to the mansion where the writer stayed to investigate, but was chased by a masked man. When escaping, he hid in a huge bookcase and touched a bookcase. This book, accidentally cut his finger on the sharp paper, blood flowed on the book, and his whole body also entered the book.
I thought I had escaped pursuit, but I didn't know that this was actually a book that the writer had not finished before he died. It recorded a serial murder case and found the murderer.
In order to investigate what happened back then, the private detective read the author's works, especially the last book he wrote before his death. There seemed to be a lot of puns in it, alluding to many things that happened now. Private detectives I studied it word by word, hoping that there would be clues to the past.
Precisely because he had read this book, he knew that he had become the last one to die in the book. He was being hunted outside the book and faced danger inside the book. If he doesn't find the murderer before it's his turn to die, he's doomed.
At the same time, outside the book, the disappearance of the private detective also attracted the attention of the detective. A man who always competed with the police for clues, this time he clearly accepted the commission, but disappeared without a trace. The detective was worried that he had been killed. , looking for him everywhere.
When the detective searched the writer's mansion, he accidentally found the book and noticed that a character in it looked like a private detective. He was curious and borrowed the book home.
The private detective saw the actions of the detective outside through a mirror in the book's bedroom. He was so excited that he wrote with lipstick on the mirror. At the same time, the blood stains he left on the book also turned into a mirror. With the handwriting on the book, the detective finally discovered that this daring man was trapped in the book.
The private detective discovered in the book many clues left by the writer 20 years ago. He told these clues to the criminal police, who then solved the unsolved cases many years ago. The criminal police are also constantly looking for information left by the writer, such as interviews, manuscripts, and conversations with family assistants, to help detectives find the murderer in the book.
In the end, the two people inside and outside the book worked independently but connected with each other, and solved the unsolved case at the same time. When the murderer inside and outside the book was arrested at the same time, the private detective finally escaped from the book.
Afterwards, the private detective, under the pretext of finding the writer's final manuscript, completed the remaining novel and published it. A book that had not had an ending for many years was finally completed, and the writer's murderer was found. .
The detective and the detective shook hands and made peace. The detective understood that the previous warning from the detective was not aimed at him, but to protect him. The detective also had that dislike for this guy who was always causing trouble.
The two agreed to compete again when there is a case, and the story ends with the scene of the two shaking hands.
"What a great story." Luo Huai didn't want to be alone with Zhong Jiu at first. He sat far away from him at first. The two of them were several meters apart, waiting for Zhong Jiu to finish talking about the movie. After setting it up, the two of them sat on the bed at some point, legs touching each other, with no social distance at all.
"The cases in and out of the book still need to be refined. Fortunately, I have seen a lot of material before, so I should come back." Zhong Jiu said.
He has seen too much material. Those who become evil ghosts must die in vain. Zhong Jiu has had many contacts with evil ghosts and has seen various ways of death. He draws the essence from it and adds some Artistic creation should complete a good story.
"Which role am I preparing for?" Luo Huai asked. In this story, he couldn't see which one was the male protagonist, the detective or the detective.
Zhong Jiu said: "He is a detective. I hope that this private detective is an optimistic, positive, happy-go-lucky, and humorous person. Only these qualities can downplay the murder case and make it difficult for the audience to accept it." "
Luo Huai looked at Zhong Jiu and blushed slowly. He felt as if he had been praised severely. It turned out that in Director Zhong's eyes, he was such a good person. He always felt that Director Zhong was treating him badly. His filter is too big, how can he be so good
"Give me such a good role, I will definitely cherish it! How can I make him wait for me? Even if he doesn't take the role for two or three years, I will play him!" Luo Huai said.
"Waiting for several years for a role is not conducive to your career." Zhong Jiu said firmly, "You became popular through "Fall House", and I also participated in the filming of "The Sword Tomb" , your character is good, handsome, affectionate, and the ending is tragic. After this, you will have a TV drama market, and you will definitely get a lot of contracts. Nowadays, the pay for TV dramas, especially idol dramas, is not low. , it will be easier to take up business and variety shows after you become an adult. If you miss this period, you will lose a lot."
"But as long as you have enough money," Luo Huai said, "I hope that I can play a variety of roles. It doesn't matter if I don't play the protagonist, or it doesn't matter if I play the bad guy. Moreover, actors will be criticized. The role I play affects me. Not only is my career now on the rise, but my acting skills are also on the rise. If I always play the same role, my whole person will change. After a few years like this, I will be fine. I can enjoy filming with all my heart like now.”
Zhong Jiu looked at Luo Huai: "You have played two roles so far. I can see the traces of being affected."
Still so cute.
Luo Huai silently glanced at Zhong Jiu and murmured in a low voice: "I hope my character is a brave person."
The third male lead in "Sword Tomb" is a tragic person. He loves the heroine deeply, but for various reasons, as long as he confesses his love to the heroine, the girl's life will be threatened. It was not until the end, until the last moment before he died, that he slowly opened his mouth and told the heroine his long-hidden love.
But at that time, his throat had been cut, he could not make a sound, and the heroine could not hear his voice. When the heroine turned around, he had closed his eyes forever.
Luo Huai cried for a long time after performing this scene. Thanks to Zhong Jiu who shared a room with him. Zhong Jiu understood the actor's situation and used his professional knowledge to help Luo Huai slowly complete the scene. .
But after that, Luo Huai found that he had become more courageous in love. He always felt that he would hurt Director Zhong and did not dare to say anything.
His mood was affected by the role, and he didn't know how long it took for him to slowly recover.
Luo Huai liked the role of Zhong Jiu in the new movie at first sight. This private detective has a vigorous vitality. Even though he knows that he may die, he still maintains an optimistic attitude. When it comes to eating and drinking, Luo Huai hopes that he will inject vitality into this role, and this role will also bring him courage.
Seeing that he liked it so much, Zhong Jiu promised: "Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting for too long."
The two agreed to go for a physical examination the next morning, and Zhong Jiu returned to his room. Luo Huai couldn't help but follow him like a little tail, saying he was seeing off Zhong Jiu.
A few ghosts are gathering together upstairs to read and learn simplified Chinese characters. The teacher is Zhong Hongyan.
Luo Huai glanced at him and wondered: "I've seen Brother Shen for a few days. What has he been busy with recently?"
Zhong Jiu sneered: "It's almost time, it's time to get him back."
