This was the first time they met. Luo Huai supported Jiang Fen from his own company, who was in competition with Geng Fu. This visit was just a routine matter and he had no intention of getting closer. There was no greeting or courtesy. Noting that the room was strangely decorated and Geng Fu's living habits were not healthy, he had no intention of asking questions.
Lian Ziyu still likes the whole dark room. He can barely stay in the sun for a while now, but he doesn't like the scorching sun. If the window is open, he will feel very uncomfortable.
Moreover, Lian Ziyu secretly brought a friend here today. He had put Jiang Fen's phone in his pocket before, so Jiang Fen hid here, planning to find a suitable opportunity to talk with Geng Fu. Lian Ziyu would not disappear in the sunshine, but Jiang Fen was different. If this room was really sunny, Lian Ziyu could only find a way to block Geng Fu in the toilet and then release Jiang Fen.
"Are you two here to record songs?" Geng Fu looked at Luo Huai and Zhong Hongyan.
Zhong Hongyan shook his head: "We are the agent and assistant, accompanying the artist here."
"Then go to the next room and wait," Geng Fu said indifferently, "If the recording system accidentally picks up your voices, we'll have to find a way to remove the noise. The room is well soundproofed, so even if you guys watch a gunfight movie next door, it won't affect us."
When Lian Ziyu heard that he had to turn on two light bulbs, he was so excited that he immediately pushed them out of the room and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't disturb me."
Zhong Hongyan and Luo Huai didn't understand music, and didn't know whether this was the process for the official recording. But when they saw Lian Ziyu's cheerful look, they felt a strong sense of uneasiness in their hearts.
"Isn't your recording studio the kind with a glass window so people outside can see and then instruct the singers inside through the intercom equipment?" Zhong Hongyan asked.
Geng Fu frowned and said, "Are you afraid that I will do something to this lady after we are alone together? Are you afraid that I will slander my professionalism and character?"
Zhong Hongyan, Luo Huai: "..."
No, they were afraid of what this "young lady" might do.
Geng Fu sighed and pointed at the wall and said, "There are surveillance cameras in the room. If we turn on the TV in the next room, we can connect to the surveillance camera. Is that okay?"
Zhong Hongyan and Luo Huai then put it down. They went to the next room, turned on the TV, and saw on the surveillance video that Lian Ziyu and Geng Fu were discussing something together.
Probably because they were worried about the original song's source being leaked, the surveillance video only had images but no sound. However, this was enough. They just needed to keep an eye on Lian Ziyu and prevent him from having too much physical contact with Geng Fu.
Although the blackout curtains were drawn in the room next door, they were not as tight as those in the studio, and a few rays of sunlight came in. Luo Huai felt that it was a bit stuffy to draw the curtains and turn on the lights during the day. He stood by the window and asked Zhong Hongyan: "Can I draw the curtains?"
"Of course there's no problem. You'd better open the windows and ventilate the room. This room hasn't been cleaned for too long. There's always a musty smell as if something has gone bad." Zhong Hongyan had already found paper and pen in the room. He answered Luo Huai while drawing a model of the empty space.
He always felt that the structure of this house was uncomfortable, but if it was really an evil gathering formation, no matter how bad his calculations were, he would not be unable to sense it.
Zhong Hongyan is a meticulous person with some obsessive-compulsive disorder. When editing videos, he often polishes the details frame by frame. This problem is particularly serious when it comes to numbers. He feels uncomfortable if it is not clear.
Luo Huai pulled open the curtains and finally opened the window after a long time. The window was probably not opened for too long and was a little tight. It also broke the ring on his ring finger. Even though it was a 9.9 yuan ring with the company logo, Luo Huai still felt very painful.
The room was much more airy, but I didn't feel comfortable at all. Instead, my chest felt even more stuffy.
Luo Huai didn't mind this discomfort. After all, ever since he started to have a crush on Director Zhong, he would feel depressed for a while and then cheerful for a while when he was not happy. This situation was too common.
Since Zhong Hongyan was calculating seriously and didn't pay attention to the surveillance, Luo Huai just watched the video without blinking.
He saw Geng Fu teaching Lian Ziyu for a while, and Lian Ziyu put on headphones and listened to the song several times, then practiced for a while with the song score, and then nodded to Geng Fu, indicating that he could try singing.
Indoor surveillance is not perfect, Luo Huai found that the incense stick in the corner was not within the surveillance range. But almost all of the two people were alive under surveillance, so one or two blind spots were not a big deal.
From the moment Lien Tzuyu started singing, Geng Fu in the video was obviously not very enthusiastic.
He was cold and distant before, probably because he knew that Jiudao Film and Television Entertainment wanted to replace him, and these people were not friendly. But as soon as Lian Ziyu started singing, Geng Fu's eyes showed a fanatical look, and he began to pace back and forth around Lian Ziyu, constantly approaching Lian Ziyu, and studying the song closely with him.
Luo Huai frowned as he watched the video, unsure whether he should go in and stop it.
Because Geng Fu's behavior at this moment was as if he had met a soulmate and he admired Lian Ziyu's singing very much, which was normal.
What Luo Huai didn't know was that one of the main reasons why Lian Ziyu could be the king of the sea without any failure was his singing. He was a famous actor during his lifetime, and he attracted customers by his songs and performances. His singing could shake some of the emotions in people's hearts. Anyone who heard him singing on the Internet was crazy about him.
This is why Lian Ziyu advocated making friends with Jiang Fen.
After all, Lien Tzu-yu was a famous actor, and she had seen the new performance form of movies decades ago. However, most of the movies that were circulated in China at that time were silent films, which had no sound advantage compared to traditional folk art performances, so Lien Tzu-yu was somewhat dismissive of movies.
After Zhong Jiudao came to the villa and showed these ignorant ghosts from the old society new movies, Lian Ziyu was the first to realize that the popular music in this society had changed to a new style, and the film industry had become more diversified. His opera had become a niche and could not attract more people.
This made Lian Ziyu feel a sense of crisis all the time, until Jiang Fen came. He took the initiative to show his goodwill to Jiang Fen and learn new generation songs from him. Although Lian Ziyu looked bad all day, he was actually very hardworking and did not give up learning even when he was red-skinned.
He practiced day and night like this, and in less than a month, he could even read musical notation and had no problem communicating with Geng Fu.
Coupled with his ability to please the audience and his singing that could move people, Geng Fu's eyes fell on him as soon as he opened his mouth, and he couldn't take his eyes away.
"You are the first person who sings the emotions hidden in this song of mine." Geng Fu stared at Lian Ziyu and said.
Lian Ziyu lowered her head shyly and smiled modestly: "It's Teacher Geng who taught me well. Thanks to you for telling me the creative concept of this song first."
"But even I can't sing so well." Geng Fu's fingers reached out to Lian Ziyu's vocal cords, his eyes full of envy and obsession.
Lian Ziyu kept turning sideways and blocking the surveillance camera with his body. In this way, from Luo Huai's perspective, he could only see Lian Ziyu standing with his back to the surveillance camera, but could not see Geng Fu stroking his vocal cords.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat ambiguous. Lian Ziyu realized that she was wearing women's clothes after all, so he lowered his head shyly and took a step back timidly, but at the same time, he glanced at Geng Fu with his eyes, expressing his meaning of "I admire you very much, but you are too impatient to do it right away."
Geng Fu seemed to realize that his behavior was inappropriate. He looked at the surveillance camera, stood up and said, "I'm going to wash my hands and practice my bass later."
After he left, Lian Ziyu took the phone and said to Jiang Fen, "It's almost in my hands."
Jiang Fen was watching from the best position, and he finally got to see Lian Tzuyu's level. Her singing voice was so powerful that Jiang Fen felt like he couldn't bear it anymore.
Fortunately, Lian Ziyu never showed her intention of falling in love with Jiang Fen, otherwise Jiang Fen felt that he would fall in love with her.
And she has the kind of idea that "He sings so well, so what if he has a few more female and male confidants? As long as I am one of them, it's enough." Lian Tzuyu is really scary.
He is different from Qi Wanlian. Qi Wanlian's absorption of vitality is purely physical. There is no emotion involved. It is just a matter of mutual need. Moreover, the provider of vitality must be a male and it is a disposable prop.
Lian Ziyu doesn't use too much body, it's purely a spiritual communication, which is one of the reasons why he can involve dozens or even hundreds of crazy men and women at a time. He makes people feel that such a beautiful voice should be appreciated by more people, not just me.
"I'll give you a chance to take revenge," Lian Ziyu said. "The surveillance camera can't capture you, so you can find a chance to scare him and make him promise to apologize to you. Then I'll find a chance to comfort him and coax him to tell me what happened. Tell him that no matter what he did, I'm willing to face it with him."
As a result, Geng Fu will be so emotional that he will do two things impulsively. First, apologize publicly, and second, make an official announcement with Lien Tzu-yu.
After completing these two things, his reputation would plummet and everyone would want him to be killed. Then Lian Ziyu comforted him with gentle words, telling him to win with his actual strength, and that the soundtrack for this movie would definitely be his, and Geng Fu placed all his hopes on this movie.
When Geng Fu was defeated by Jiang Fen, Lian Ziyu said a few more cold and ruthless words to Geng Fu, telling him that he was really not capable and that he loved Jiang Fen's compositions more. Without Lian Ziyu, his last hope and his soulmate, Geng Fu would never be able to recover.
According to Lian Ziyu's plot, Jiang Fen succeeded in his revenge. He absorbed the resentment of Geng Fu's fans, and in the end he was able to reap a wave of Geng Fu's resentment as well. What a great plan!
"It's a good plan, but... why do I feel like this situation is a little familiar?" Jiang Fen said.
He vaguely remembered that when Lian Ziyu planned to absorb the blood and flesh of Zhong Hongyan to break the ghost pattern, he made a perfect plot, but was eventually kicked in by Director Zhong and never recovered from it.
"What are you afraid of? Director Zhong is not here today." Lian Ziyu said, "I have asked Qianqian, they really have something important to do, there will be no problem."
Lian Ziyu couldn't help but chuckle. He seemed to have seen thousands of grievances pouring towards him. The good days of punching Fu Yue and kicking Director Zhong were about to come!
Jiang Fen: "But Luo Huai, I have never been in his wallet. I don't know what kind of grudges you have with Luo Huai, but you all seem to be quite afraid of Luo Huai."
Lian Ziyu: "Luo Huai just has some weird luck. I don't believe his luck can stay with him forever."
While he was planning, Geng Fu came out from the washbasin, staring straight at Lian Ziyu.
Lian Ziyu put down her phone and said, "I took two selfies in your studio. Do you mind if I post them on social media? If you mind, I'll delete them right away."
"I don't mind. There's nothing shameful here." For some reason, Geng Fu's voice became hoarse.
"Thank you, Teacher Geng." Lian Ziyu said with a smile.
"Wait for me a moment. I'll go burn some incense first." Geng Fu suddenly said, "This is my habit. Every time I burn incense, I perform better."
"Okay." Lian Ziyu looked in the direction Geng Fu was going and saw the tall incense stick. There were no gods or tablets enshrined in the Buddhist shrine in the corner, only something that looked like a radio with two wireless headphones next to it. Geng Fu put on the wireless headphones and closed his eyes, seemingly listening to some sound.
Because Lian Ziyu was a ghost, he was particularly careful about the incense. He looked at the incense stick and saw the ashes piled under the shrine, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Zhong Hongyan, who was in the next room and had already calculated it seven or eight times, scratched his head in frustration: "This doesn't make sense, no matter how I calculate it, it's still a gathering evil spirit formation, but where is the evil spirit?"
"What did you say?" Luo Huai asked, standing by the window.
He had been staring at the video until his eyes were a little tired. He saw Geng Fu leave the surveillance range, and only Lian Ziyu was in front of the camera, looking at her phone beautifully. He didn't know what she was saying, maybe she was recording a video.
Since the two of them were not together, Luo Huai relaxed for a while and looked into the distance to relieve his eyestrain.
"No, you don't understand." There were papers full of pictures at Zhong Hongyan's feet. He picked up another one and prepared to count for the ninth time.
"Aren't you tired after calculating for so long?" Luo Huai said, "Why don't you look out the window and relax? The glass installation on the second floor is very interesting. This is the first time I've seen this kind of glass."
"I'm not tired. I'm not that tired at all..." Zhong Hongyan raised his head politely and looked in the direction of Luo Huai, then suddenly froze.
He dropped the paper in his hand and looked out the window.
Facing the direction of their house, there was a building with very inconsistent windows. The glass was irregular, some were black glass, and some were white glass.
From a distance, these irregular windows appear to be a circle.
"What does our glass look like?" Zhong Hongyan suddenly asked.
Luo Huai took two steps back, squinted his eyes and said, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed that our window and the floor above seem to fit together just fine."
Zhong Hongyan slapped his thigh and said, "The round glass panels of these two buildings put together form a reverse Tai Chi diagram!"
The evil gathering array plus the Tai Chi diagram gathered the evil energy to a certain point, so that people would not feel uncomfortable. But because Luo Huai opened a black glass just now, the entire evil energy flow leaked a little, and some of the evil energy did not gather at the point planned by the array setter, but flowed into this room.
So even though Luo Huai opened the window, he didn't feel any fresh air, but instead his chest felt even more stuffy.
Zhong Hongyan picked up the pen to calculate again. This time he calculated very quickly, muttering to himself: "In this way, the point where the evil spirit gathers will be the one in the next room..."
He looked up at the video: "It's that blind spot in the surveillance camera! Where is Geng Fu? Why isn't he in the surveillance camera?"
Luo Huai said, "Probably in the washbasin or in front of the incense stick. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a stick of incense burning in the corner."
"fragrant… "
As the two were talking, Geng Fu walked towards Lian Ziyu with three thin incense sticks in his hand.
These three thin incense sticks can be bought in ordinary stores, but Geng Fu lit them by borrowing the fire from the big incense stick in the room.
"Come, follow me and worship, then your singing will sound better." Geng Fu said.
Lian Ziyu: "I would be stupid to accept your fragrance!"
