    Zhong Jiudao knew that these Specters were not good friends, and there were three reasons why they were so obedient.

    As a result, they were bound by the last celestial master and were trapped in the villa for decades, and anyone would want to escape and gain freedom. These ghosts can appear during the day, and can continue to generate electricity for three, five, or seven days. With such a powerful strength, who would like to continue to be imprisoned, and who would not like to go shopping with an umbrella during the day?

    Second, they had a contract with the celestial master before, so they naturally knew that the celestial master had to pay the corresponding price to use the ghosts.

    Thirdly, these are ghosts of the old society, with little knowledge. guess they really like movies and have thought about the addiction to filming. Celebrities probably didn't think about it. After all, most of the stars in their era were Liyuan artists with low social status. They didn't realize how popular it was to be a star in today's society.

    Zhong Jiudao dared to use them, and of course he had the confidence to control them.

    There are no more than two points in enslaving ghosts, one is to lure them for profit, and the other is to beat them violently.

    When the strength is sufficient, the first point is not so important. For example, for these ghosts, tell them that if they can't choose to make a movie, they can use it as a mobile power supply. Who dares to ask for benefits? Aren't they all scrambling to film?

    Zhong Jiudao leaned back on the chair and leisurely watched the group of ghosts show off their magical powers, enjoying the joy of an audition very much.

    In order to control them, Zhong Jiudao made a resume form for each Specter, and pressed the Specter to leave a trace of soul power on the form, which was considered a written restriction.

    In addition to the ghost profiles of the ghosts, the back side is Zhong Jiudao's comments, according to the appearance, body shape, etiquette and speech, literacy, mastery of skills, acting (time to hide the ghost's true body), role fit, etc. Score the ghosts in several aspects, and finally select the best according to the scores.

    In the case of a full score of 100 points, the white cheongsam Qi Wanlian alone accounts for 100 points for appearance, 20 points for body and etiquette, 20 points for literacy, -20 points for mastery of skills, unknown acting skills, and a total score of 100 points. , is a high score.

    Fu Yue, a female ghost in a dress, has a face value of 90 points, body 10, etiquette and speech -40, literacy 10, acting skills -20, mastery of skills 50 points, and the total score is also 100 points, which is equal to Qi Wanlian.

    Aunt Yang is not good-looking, but her acting skills have been recognized by the professional actor Luo Huai, with a high score, plus the high score of mastering skills and role fit, she was also selected in advance.

    The rest of the Specter are a little mixed, and the skills they master are rich and colorful, but most of them are not used. It seems that the skills of the accountant and the gardener are still ordinary. Those who use their heads to run very fast, can make people cannibalize each other in illusion, and have a tongue. Skills that can hang five people, can parasitize in the human body to make men give birth to ghosts, etc. are really difficult to achieve (difficult to save money), and these skills will all be given negative points.

    Zhong Jiudao chose all night before finalizing 10 actors. In the case of skills that cannot be seen, he can only choose actors based on their looks. His film has poor hardware conditions and a mediocre script. To attract audiences, only the actors have excellent looks.

    Fortunately, the Specters have existed for many years, and even if they were originally ugly, they would make up their own skins to make themselves beautiful. Everyone's appearance is not bad, and Zhong Jiudao only needs to select the best ones for admission.

    It was not until ten o'clock in the morning that the actors were finally selected and contracts were signed with them one by one. Zhong Jiudao's contract is very detailed, such as not disturbing human colleagues, not revealing his identity during filming, not crying in the villa in the middle of the night and making him look like he is an unspoken actor as a director, not...

    In short, Zhong Jiudao thought about everything he could think of about the prohibition treaty, and those who violated it would immediately be replaced. Anyway, there were still 23 ghosts waiting in line for the filming, and they had no shortage of actors.

    As for the treatment, Zhong Jiudao promised that from the start of filming to the release of the movie, he would burn ghost coins and things he liked for them every month, and would regularly offer some human food for them to eat. Except for Aunt Yang, the rest of the ghosts have no cooking skills. , they didn't dare to eat what Aunt Yang made. They have been hungry for decades, and their eyes are green from hunger. Oh, some are not hungry, they are green since death.

    Some evil ghosts, such as Fu Yue, a female ghost in a dress, also tried to bargain with Zhong Jiudao, wanting some of Zhong Jiudao's mana and the pure yang blood of Tianshi, and was taught by Zhong Jiudao with the flame talisman for an hour. , and warned her that if she committed the crime again, she would play the role of her daughter and let her be a female textile worker obediently.

    Fu Yue's force value is the highest in the entire villa, and his brain is also the worst. It was the first person who provoked Zhong Jiudao at the beginning, and now it is also the first person who dared to ask for pure yang blood. It is also very worrying for Zhong Jiudao to be an actor with this character.

    So Zhong Jiudao swiped his pen and wrote "the director has the right to change the actor at any time" on the contract, and secretly encouraged other backup actors who were not selected to report the actor's violation of the contract at any time. If the report is successful, you can Changing actors, even if it doesn't work, as long as the situation is true, you can also give a cameo role to a show-stopper.

    After the contract signed with the ghosts was ready, Zhong Jiudao found out the contract for normal human actors from the computer, wrote "Friendship 0 pay for acting" in the remuneration, and imitated the actors to sign their names.

    Zhong Jiudao, who had completed two contracts, sighed slightly. As a Celestial Master, he not only did not eliminate demons and defenders, but instead used ghosts to film; as a director, his directing career has just begun, and he has embarked on the road of no return to use non-humans to film. , it really failed to do its due diligence no matter which line.

    Up to now, he can only do his best to make this movie well and hand over an answer sheet that will satisfy everyone.

    Zhong Jiudao walked out of the cinema with a pile of contracts worriedly, and bumped into Luo Huai who was wandering in front of the entrance of the cinema, and the contracts for humans on it fell.

    "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Luo Huai hurriedly bent down and picked up a few contracts, "I-I just want to visit the villa, it's really big and beautiful here!"

    Luo Huai handed the contract to Zhong Jiudao. Under Zhong Jiudao's serious gaze, he slowly lowered his head and whispered, "Also, I'm a little hungry. I know there is food in the kitchen, so I tried to cook it myself. , I didn't succeed. I was looking for Aunt Yang everywhere, I heard a voice here, I came to try my luck. I, I knocked on the door outside! "

    In order to prevent the sound in the movie hall from being heard, Zhong Jiudao set up a soundproof talisman, not only did the sound from inside not get out, but also the knock on the door outside.

    He believed that Luo Huai didn't lie, because Luo Huai's body had a strong smell of strangers. If he stayed at the entrance of the movie hall for a long time, the thirty-three ghosts inside were not vegetarians, and he would have discovered his existence long ago. Only when Luo Huai just came to the door of the movie hall and Zhong Jiudao just opened the door and bumped into him, would Li Gui not find him standing outside the door.

    It was almost noon, and it was time to be hungry. Zhong Jiudao felt his stomach rumbling.

    There was a food poisoning incident in Qian Duoqun yesterday. After Zhong Jiudao bought new ingredients, he didn't dare to let others touch them. He made lunch and dinner himself, and set up a talisman to protect the food, so as not to be caught by the ghosts.

    Luo Huai thought that the delicious food he ate yesterday was made by Aunt Yang, but it was actually Director Zhong who did it himself. If Aunt Yang did it, he would have been sent to icu long ago.

    Today, Zhong Jiudao was busy with the audition and forgot the time. Luo Huai was so hungry that he was forced to cook by himself. Unfortunately, his cooking skills were poor and he almost burned down the kitchen.

    It really almost burned the kitchen. Luo Huai didn't know how long the oil should be burned. After pouring the oil into the pot and it caught fire, he waited for the oil to boil. After waiting for a while, the oil in the pot started to burn, which scared him into a hurry.

    Fortunately, Luo Huai has the most basic fire safety awareness. Instead of putting out the fire with water, he bravely covered the burning oil pot with a pot cover and successfully put out the fire.

    After a thrilling time, Luo Huai obediently turned off the power supply and LPG, and looked for people everywhere in a frightened and guilty conscience.

    It was only after seeing Zhong Jiudao that he was so flustered that he bumped into him and messed up the contract, and accidentally saw the words "Friendship 0 Pay" on the contract.

    There are dozens of 0-payment contracts in a row, and there is also a superb acting Aunt Yang! In addition to gift films and films that return people's feelings, how can there be so many films in the entertainment industry where actors star in movies with zero pay? The only explanation is that Director Zhong is very powerful!

    Even if he himself is unknown in the entertainment industry, he must have a family background.

    Seeing such a director cook for himself and clean up the mess in the kitchen, Luo Huai was a little frightened.

    Seeing Luo Huai's terrified eyes, Zhong Jiudao's expression was hesitant to say anything, always suspecting that this person saw something that shouldn't be seen last night, he couldn't help frowning, thinking about how to seal his mouth.

    In fact, it is not impossible to consider the white cheongsam Qi Wanlian's suggestion, confuse Luo Huai's mind, and forcibly erase the memory in his mind. Just doing this will damage Luo Huai's longevity, and if the ghost who made a contract with him does evil under the orders of the Celestial Master, the karma will be counted on the head of the Ghost-Serving Celestial Master, and in the long run, it will turn back on the Celestial Master.

    Do you have to pay to seal it? He is a rookie director who generates electricity for his dreams, where did he get so much money! Zhong Jiudao was very tormented in his heart.

    Seeing Zhong Jiudao frowning, Luo Huai was also extremely frightened, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm in the way, so I'll make way."

    He huddled in the corner of the kitchen, thinking to himself, "How about I also take the initiative to apply for 0 pay? But after the filming of this movie, I will have no place to live, and I can rent a small single room for 10,000 yuan."

    "It's time to eat." Zhong Jiudao looked calm, put the food on the table, and decided to discuss how to seal it during dinner.

    Since it was noon, Zhong Jiudao made lunch directly, and he simply cooked four dishes and one soup with a complete mix of meat and vegetables.

    "Let's eat now." Zhong Jiudao said.

    "This dish is very rich! It's not going to happen at all." In order to prevent himself from saying "0 pay", Luo Huai tried to put rice in his mouth and gagged his mouth.

    Seeing his big mouth, Zhong Jiudao couldn't help frowning: "You play a young, frightened college student in the film. Although you don't need to be too thin, you shouldn't be too fat. And you are the face of this film. Take responsibility, try to control your weight/weight."

    xiaoshuting.la

    "Oh, okay." Luo Huai changed the big mouthful of dry rice into small mouthfuls and chewed slowly.

    "Last night, I saw the scene of Aunt Yang cooking. Apart from thinking it's superb acting, what else do you think?" Zhong Jiudao asked.

    "Very dedicated." Luo Huai replied earnestly, "It must be very hard to have so much blood on her face, and she used a knife to chop frozen meat, each one can chop off a piece of meat, she must have used a lot of strength. , In order to perform a terrifying atmosphere and show immersive acting skills, she is a respectable senior, I want to learn from her, and I must not hold back this film."

    It didn't look like he had discovered anything. Zhong Jiudao observed Luo Huai and said tentatively, "There are many actors who play ghosts in this film. Anyone who wants to hurt someone at any time must be an actor, understand?"

    "Is the girl in the white cheongsam costume yesterday also an actress?" Luo Huai asked.

    "Yes, it is also very dedicated to the acting career. If it says or does anything, it must be for the role." Zhong Jiudao said.

    "Yes, I should also start maintaining the character status from today." Luo Huai patted his chest.

    "You don't need to, you keep it like this, and it's highly consistent with your character." Zhong Jiudao said.

    Zhong Jiudao was sure that Luo Huai did not find out the truth about the "colleagues". Luo Huai received Zhong Jiudao's approval and let go a little, feeling that he should not need to lower his salary.

    The atmosphere at the dinner table eased a lot. Looking at the empty room, Luo Huai couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Aunt Yang and the other actors come to eat? Are they not on the set?"

    It is impossible for ghosts to eat with people. Even if Luo Huai is told that they are not there now, they will find a way to prevaricate it in the future.

    Zhong Jiudao thought for a while and said, "They have relatively high requirements on food and they prepare their own meals, so they don't eat with us."

    "Is it to keep in shape?" Luo Huai nodded stupidly, "Then they should be the kind of actors who have assistants to take care of them, right?"

    "Yes." Zhong Jiudao smiled, wanting to pick out a few of the remaining 23 ghosts to be assistants, holding empty lunch boxes every day, otherwise he couldn't explain the phenomenon of a group of actors not eating.

    Fortunately, we had an in-depth chat with Luo Huai for a while, and we were able to check and fill in the gaps and avoid a lot of trouble.

    "I'm really looking forward to this movie!" Luo Huai thought that she was going to shoot with such a powerful director and such a dedicated and compelling actor, and she was full of expectations, and couldn't help asking, "When will it start?"

    "The photographer has already made an appointment, and a lot of props have been found. It is said that the costumes will be replaced in three days. There are still three important actors. Qian Duoqun is looking for it." Zhong Jiudao said.

    The most difficult thing is the three actors. After all, actors like Luo Huai who are stupid and have little money and good looks are hard to find.

    "Is there still a lack of actors?" Luo Huai was shocked. He felt that Director Zhong could find so many acting schools with zero pay, so he should not worry about actors.

    Zhong Jiudao: "There is no shortage of backup actors, but there is a lack of suitable ones."

    After all, it is inconvenient for ghosts to play people, and people's remuneration is very high.

    "What kind of actor does he look like?" Luo Huai asked.

    Zhong Jiudao: "I plan to arrange four actors, two men and two women, who are about the same age as you. The requirements for my reputation are not particularly high, as long as I am young and good-looking. As for acting, it doesn't matter at all, we have quite enough time for filming. Yes, you can sculpt your acting skills on the spot."

    People with high reputation can't afford it, those with poor acting skills are better, and they are cheap enough. As for sculpting and acting skills, there is a group of immersive and acting-style ghost actors who guide them. Zhong Jiudao is very confident in tuning/teaching human actors' acting skills.

    The requirements are not high, as long as it looks good, it can also help guide the skills. Luo Huai swallowed a sip of the soup, thinking about Zhong Jiudao's conditions.

    Zhong Jiudao observed Luo Huai's expression and found that his expression was very agile, he would show whatever he was thinking, and people could see his thoughts at a glance. With such appearance conditions and personal qualities, playing a calm and introverted role is almost a climate, but an extroverted role will be very brilliant, and he is a very malleable actor.

    "Do you have an actor you would like to recommend to me?" Zhong Jiudao asked Luo Huai's mind, taking the initiative to ask.

    Luo Huai said quickly: "Yes, I have a friend who is famous for his exaggerated acting skills. He used to be a little popular. Now he is scolded that no one is looking for him to film. Can you let him audition?"

    "It used to be very popular?" Zhong Jiudao frowned. Will the salary be very high?

    "This is his photo," Luo Huai pulled out a group photo from his mobile phone and handed it to Zhong Jiudao. "He has acted in many online dramas and was scolded for his disfiguring acting skills. He once said that if anyone can make him perform poorly His reputation improved, and he subsidized money for filming."

    "Okay, let him audition, I have time at any time." Zhong Jiudao said immediately.
