The next few days were peaceful, Luo Huai's friend had time to audition after three days, and he didn't see other colleagues again. Probably Aunt Yang and the others lived elsewhere before the start.

Luo Huai couldn't even see Director Zhong who lived in the villa. I heard that Director Zhong changed the script by forgetting to sleep and eat, and his work and rest days were reversed.

The only thing that proves Director Zhong's existence is the three meals that are placed on the table on time every day. Luo Huai can't see the chef. He only knows that there must be food at the restaurant at 7:00, 12:00 and 18:00 every day, and he doesn't know if it is made by Director Zhong. Aunt Yang did it.

Director Zhong gave Luo Huai a revised version of the script. There was basically no change in the character's personality, but the interaction with other actors changed a lot. Luo Huai is familiar with the script during the day and exercises to keep in shape, and sleeps obediently at night.

In the dead of night, he would hear strange and regular sounds. Luo Huai couldn't tell what the sounds were. It wasn't until one night when he turned on the TV to watch a period drama that he realized that the regular sounds every night were very similar to those of a sewing machine.

Accompanied by the sound of the sewing machine working, there was also a faint and mournful cry, like a female textile worker complaining about the injustice of the capitalists.

Since going out in the middle of the night and seeing Aunt Yang auditioning, Luo Huai has learned not to go out casually when she hears strange noises in this villa at night.

It's not that he's afraid of hitting ghosts, but as an actor, it would be a shame if he was scared into a coma by his colleagues' acting skills.

"The Age of Rebirth"

When Luo Huai's friend came to audition, Qian Duoqun also brought the photographer and two other actresses to the crew. This photographer has been an assistant before, and is probably still an apprentice in the circle. This is the first time to take charge of photography, and it is to give himself a chance to exercise, so the fee is not high.

The other two actresses are not well-known, and they are also newcomers to the film and television industry. The salary is not high, but it is much higher than that of Luo Huai. After all, it is difficult to find beautiful and cheap actors like Luo Huai.

As for the other staff, unless the professional is particularly strong, some trivial work, the director can do all the director himself, and when the director is too busy, Qian Duoqun will do it for him. When you really have to use a professional, just ask for a day or two and do your best to save money.

Overall, everyone's salaries add up to only 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. Although the villa is luxurious, the rent is not high under the premise of being haunted. Especially since this villa is not only a shooting location, but also a place to stay for everyone, the rent is quite cost-effective.

Half of the crew did not need to eat, and the food expenses were greatly saved. The props rented are all shabby, and a batch of costumes have been returned, and the rental cost of various props is not high.

After all, the initial cost should be between 1 million and 1.2 million, and there are 80,000 to 900,000 left for the later stage, editing, special effects, music, art...

Shouldn't be enough.

Qian Duoqun's head was bald because of money worries. He took the opportunity to ask Zhong Jiudao: "The funds are so tight, what should I do in the later stage? Can't you find a way to get more sponsorship?"

Zhong Jiudao thought for a while: "My network is not very suitable for the film and television industry, but I can find someone to do the editing for free."

"Free? Is the relationship so strong? Is it professional?" Qian Duoqun asked.

Zhong Jiudao sighed deeply: "It's my family's connections."

The editor, a cousin in his family.

The Zhong family is an aristocratic family of heavenly masters, and all the younger members of the family who have some talent must concentrate on the academic method.

The cousin Zhong Jiudao scored more than 600 points in the college entrance examination. He could have applied for a good 985 and 211 university, but he was forced by his family to go home to concentrate on Taoism and did not continue his studies.

Cousin is not reconciled to the fate imposed on him by the family. In addition to learning magic techniques and exorcising ghosts, he will also use his spare time to teach himself video editing. Now he is also a well-known up master.

From a professional point of view, Zhong Jiudao shows that his cousin's level is not low, and many post-production teams have invited his cousin to join them. Unfortunately, his cousin has become a quasi-celestial master and cannot take this kind of work, only privately. Post videos anonymously.

Although the Zhong family asked everyone not to support Zhong Jiudao financially, the editing work of the cousin has nothing to do with the family, and has never been discovered by the family elders, so he can help Zhong Jiudao secretly.

Zhong Jiudao spread out his left hand, and a neutral signature pen appeared in his palm.

This unusual pen seems to be saying to Zhong Jiudao that times have changed, and the Zhong family needs to change.

After entering the era of peace, the grievances of the ghosts became weaker and weaker, the mana of the celestial masters also became lower and lower, and the entire industry was going downhill.

However, in order to maintain the family business, the elders of the family have intensified their efforts to curb the development of the younger generation. How many younger generations give up their dreams and drop out of school to practice, stifling their original talents.

This can't go on like this, the younger generation can't go out, and the family will only become more and more desolate.

Zhong Jiudao clenched the signature pen in his left hand, and he clearly realized that this was his mission.

He just wants to be a director and make a popular film, so that the family can see that the most talented person in hundreds of years can also work in other industries. As a leader of the younger generation in the Tianshi world, he wants to show his younger siblings who are still students that they can pursue their dreams!

That's probably what this signature pen is about.

So no matter how difficult it is, even if he uses Li Gui as an actor, Zhong Jiudao must hand over a satisfactory work, thereby opening his way to the film and television circle.

Seeing Zhong Jiudao's resolute expression, Qian Duoqun was also infected. It was the first time he saw Zhong Jiudao, and seeing his polite conversation and manners, he knew that this person must have received good communication etiquette education since childhood. Has such a manner and temperament.

However, Zhong Jiudao was able to completely get rid of the control of the family. In order to learn a little more knowledge, he worked hard on the set, and now he is even more anxious about the funds of one or two thousand yuan.

From Zhong Jiudao, Qian Duoqun saw the thing called a dream that he had long since discarded, so he decided to help Zhong Jiudao. It was a dream and an investment.

Qian Duoqun is divided into movie remuneration, what if they make a profit?

Here, Qian Duoqun imagined the scene where he would become a well-known producer in the future, and countless investors took money to ask him to be a producer. Over there, Luo Huai finally waited for his friend Pang Xinhao.

Pang Xinhao and Luo Huai are classmates, their appearance is not as good as Luo Huai, but their luck is completely different.

When he was a freshman, he went to audition for a small-cost online drama and was selected to be the third male lead. At first, no one cared about this small cost, but it became popular due to the relationship between the times. The actors who participated in the show were also in the limelight for a while, and the resources were instantly soft.

Although Pang Xinhao is a college student, he started acting before he received systematic training. The characters of the low-cost online drama are in line with his own personality, and he played well. When there are too many plays, the shortcomings of not learning are exposed, and all kinds of terrible acting skills have been contributed. After two plays, they disappeared, leaving only a bunch of emojis for the audience.

He went back to school and wanted to study hard, but unfortunately he missed too many courses, and the whole person became impatient.

A few years ago, he made a lot of money when he was popular. Pang Xinhao was not short of money, but his reputation was so bad that no one asked him to film. This kind of work, Jinshan will be eaten up if it goes on like this.

He urgently needed to improve his acting skills, and he assured Luo Huai that this crew was all acting, and the director came here with suspicion after he would teach people.

Pang Xinhao had a car. According to Luo Huaifa's positioning, he came all the way. The more he walked, the more he felt wrong. It was obviously a summer afternoon, but when he approached the villa, he had a gloomy feeling.

After finally passing through the dilapidated and disrepaired road, I came to the gate of the villa. Before Pang Xinhao called Luo Huai to pick it up, the gate opened by itself with a creak.

Pang Xinhao drove the car into the yard, parked on the flat outside the villa, and got out of the car.

The surrounding trees cover the sky of the villa, and the whole yard only gets a little sunlight in the center.

In the garden, a gardener wearing a heavy straw hat was plowing the field and sowing seeds. From time to time, he squatted down and said to the seeds, "Grow up soon. When you grow up, you can eat you, Jie Jie Jie."

Pang Xinhao was so frightened by the gloomy gardener that he wanted to get in the car and ran away. At this time, Luo Huai, who received the news, came out and stopped him: "Come on, come to the audition quickly, everyone is waiting for you. Our actors have already It's all set, after you are finalized, you can start the machine tomorrow!"

Pang Xinhao grabbed Luo Huai, pointed at the gardener and whispered, "Is that person mentally ill?"

Luo Huai hit him: "What are you talking about, that's our deputy field manager. He is in charge of our meals, and he specially grows natural and pollution-free organic vegetables for us. After two or three weeks, we can eat them. The eggplants, cucumbers, tomatoes, and Chinese cabbage that he has grown have come, so let’s eat the ones bought at the vegetable market first.”

"The crew...Isn't there a lunch box?" Pang Xinhao asked in surprise.

"The lunch box is unsanitary, and it's not good to eat. It's better to cook it yourself. Director Zhong's cooking is delicious." Luo Huai said.

"Director Zhong? Does the director of the crew cook by himself? Have you been deceived..."

Before Pang Xinhao finished speaking, Luo Huai was dragged into the villa forcibly. Although Luo Huai people are stupid, they are not short. They also attach great importance to fitness and keep their figure.

After they entered the door, the gardener raised his head slightly, looked at their backs and said, "One Chinese cabbage, two Chinese cabbage, the cabbage can be collected... Hey, Director Zhong won't allow it."

Luo Huai, who was unaware of the dangers in the dark, brought Pang Xinhao to the front of Zhong Jiudao, who was walking around carrying props to set the scene.

There is no way, the crew is poor, the director can do the work without bothering others.

"Director Zhong, my friend is here, give him a chance!" Luo Huai said.

"He's the director?" Pang Xinhao looked at the bulging muscles on Zhong Jiudao's arm and always felt that he might be trapped by Luo Huai.

Zhong Jiudao glanced at Pang Xinhao, saw that the man looked good, and asked, "What's the expected salary?"

Luo Huai: "He doesn't want a salary!"

Although there was no subsidized money into the group as I said at the beginning, it can be regarded as a saving of money. Zhong Jiudao nodded: "Take him to Qian Producer to sign a contract."

"No, I didn't say I wanted to sign!" Pang Xinhao said struggling.

Luo Huai: "You will make great progress in filming with Director Zhong, and you will earn if you don't pay the tutoring fee. If Director Zhong hadn't found a suitable actor right away, this opportunity would not be your turn, go and sign a contract. ."

He dragged Pang Xinhao to a man with a thin body and a vicissitudes of life: "Brother Qian, this is my friend, Director Zhong asked us to sign the contract."

"Waiting for you for a long time!" Qian Duoqun strode forward, grabbing Pang Xinhao's hand to prevent him from escaping, and flipping through the briefcase next to him to find the "0 pay" contract that had been printed long ago. Two copies were put into Pang Xinhao's hands, "Sign it."

Pang Xinhao does not have a brokerage company, so he can call the shots himself, and only needs two contracts.

Luo Huai put the pen in his hand and encouraged him to sign with a look of "you earned it".

Pang Xinhao signed the contract in a daze, and then had time to look at the poor crew, and couldn't help but wonder: "Have I been deceived?"

He believed that Luo Huai would not deceive himself, but Luo Huai might be deceived by others! Why did he sign the contract without even reading it?

This question continued until the opening ceremony. Looking at the crew, from the director to the actors to the staff, which could be counted on ten fingers, Pang Xinhao's question reached its peak.

He asked Luo Huai privately, "Didn't you say there are still ten old actors?"

"Director Zhong said they didn't participate in the opening ceremony and would come when they were filming. Then you can see them. I've seen them once before, and they look so good!" Luo Huai said.

Pang Xinhao reluctantly believed it, thinking that no one was looking for him to film anyway, and it would be okay to delay for two or three months.

But in the evening, after Director Zhong personally cooked eight dishes and two soups for the whole crew, Pang Xinhao was dumbfounded again. There is only one director in total, and he is also a director and a prop. Do you need a part-time chef?

The other two actresses are also full of doubts, but they are different from Pang Xinhao. They are paid the same amount, and no matter how unreasonable they are, they can pretend to be invisible.

However, when the director allocated the room, the two actresses strongly demanded that the two live in one room and refused the single room treatment. Their keen sixth sense told them that it was safer to share with them.

"Do you want to share a room with me?" Luo Huai asked, "We can have a play or something at night."

"No, there are so many rooms you can choose at will, why do you want two people to share a room?" Pang Xinhao felt that the only thing that satisfied the crew was the room, how could he not enjoy it.

He always felt that Director Zhong looked like a charlatan who told fortune-telling and exorcising ghosts, so he carefully chose a room farthest from Director Zhong, and the home theater on the third floor was upstairs.

It has already been turned on, so naturally the time that night cannot be wasted. Zhong Jiudao gathered all the actors together, and it is time for everyone to meet and become familiar with each other.

In the hall at night, Zhong Jiudao turned off the lights in the villa, and the kerosene lamp on the wall suddenly turned on by himself.

A classical beauty wearing a white cheongsam and walking gracefully walked slowly out of the darkness holding a candle and stood beside Zhong Jiudao.

"She" swept over the four human actors with desolate and affectionate eyes, laughed softly, and introduced herself: "Hello everyone, my concubine's name is Qi Wanlian, and she is the protagonist of this movie."

That's right, in this movie, the four human actors are all supporting roles, and only actors who don't need money can be the protagonists.

This is a movie in which the protagonist is a ghost.
