179. Chapter XVIII

"He's a ghost! Do you understand? He's just a ghost from start to finish! Calvin emphasized.

When talking about the script before, Calvin said that one person performed, and the mother's father dolls that appeared in the play were all completed by one actor, Cui Qi thought it was a new model at the time, and now he heard Calvin say that "Eddie is a ghost" He instantly figured out the trick, and the fragmented and abrupt plot jump was explained at once, the so-called haunting was actually Eddie himself, and the biggest fear of the whole show was probably that he would never find the truth of the supernatural event. Stories from decades ago are presented in fragments of memory, the quarrel between the mother and the father, the apple tree that was cut down, the marbles buried in the dirt, the doll that appeared on the stairs, the clothes of the sister hanging on the chandelier, the freshly painted crimson walls...... Calvin tried his best to show a kind of weirdness in the ordinary, but his whimsical and logical imagination added a lot of difficulty to Cui Qi's performance.

Eddie is a neurotic and cowardly person, Calvin asks Cui Xuan to express his own blame and the indifference hidden under the cowardice, when his parents quarrel with his sister to make crazy actions, he hides under the table and watches, he says "don't quarrel" and "don't do this" every time he feels sorry, but he looks at all kinds of things happening at home and chooses very ordinary and normal actions, when the whole family is in madness and hysteria, his normality is particularly weird.

"Good, good! That's what I want! Calvin always clapped his hands to express his pleasure, and on the day of the end of Eddie's episode, he offered to have a good meal, of course, in order to save money, it was Cui Qi who cooked.

"I want to eat braised pork ribs!"

"Coke chicken wings!"

"Fried rice!"

"Mapo Tofu!"

"Fish-flavored shredded pork!"

"Keeley, would you not make roast duck? I've always wanted to eat roast duck! ”

Cui Qi, who is also an actor, makeup artist, and chef in the poor crew: "......" Have you ever thought about my feelings?

Counting the first fifteen years and the first twenty-one years of life, Cui Qi has never fallen into such a difficult situation, even if he was exiled back then, he was followed by loyal servants, he has always been ten fingers do not touch the spring water, even if he does it, his grandmother is not in good health, but now, he has to do it himself, in addition to his own abundant food and clothing, he also has to raise the other two, Calvin and Rosie agreed that eating hamburgers and sandwiches is too luxurious, it is better to cook it yourself, it is cost-effective and delicious.

Cui Qi expressed his full agreement with this, he is not used to eating the food here, he can make it himself if he has the conditions, and when he really has no money, he can make a bottle of pickles and buy a bottle of pickles, but sometimes he thinks, obviously he can live well in China, why did he come here to live such a life? The villa is far away from the town, the network signal is bad, there is no entertainment after the end of shooting, I can't sleep at night, come to some beer, look at the stars and watch the moon and talk about life.

"I want to go home, I want to see my grandmother......" Cui Qi sat on the recliner with his legs crossed, tilting his head and leaning on his arm, he had drunk a little too much that day.

"I miss my mommy~" The other drunk was Calvin, who was rolling on the ground.

The only one who was awake at the scene was Rossi, who looked at the other two and shook his head, resigned himself to dragging the man back to the room and cleaning up the mess in the yard.

Drunk people don't remember what they said the day before, and so did Cui Qi, and when Rosie said with emotion the next day that he could be more calm and trust them a little more, Cui Qi looked confused.

"We will always be your friends!" Rossi, who is of South American descent, warmly gave him a hug to emphasize their friendship, and Cui Qi blinked, dazed.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Poor Keeley, you must have had a hard time traveling across the ocean to come to this country," Rosie patted his shoulder sympathetically: "No matter how hard you live in your country, the United States is the place where your dreams come true......" As a third-generation immigrant, Rosie enthusiastically began a long speech, the theme: My country is very good! Hurry up and immigrate!

"Wait, wait, wait! Did you misunderstand something? Cui Xuan made a stop gesture.

"You said you were expelled and imprisoned, and your country is so bad! You must be having a miserable life! Rosie imagined that Cui Qi couldn't eat enough every day, and her sympathy was tearful.

Cui Qi: "......" was silent, and he corrected: "That's a movie, eh...... The movie script I'm envisioning ......"

Rosie opened his hand and wanted to give him a hug, but when he heard the latter sentence, he paused, withdrew his hand, and turned his head to look at the sky: "It seems to be raining soon, do you want to continue filming today?" He calmly skipped the oolong just now.

Cui Qi: "......"

The rainstorm came quickly, and soon there was rumbling thunder, the sky quickly darkened, and the opportunity was rare, the original sister scene was postponed, and the three decided to shoot a few scenes where the dolls appeared first. It's still Cui Qi who plays the doll, and only a few shots render the atmosphere of supernatural horror, and there are no lines, if there is any difficulty, it is probably more difficult to put on makeup and wear skirts. The medieval Gothic Lolita skirt, there is actually a belt and skirt support, Cui Qi was embarrassed the whole process when he wore it, plus he was in a hurry, and finally the three of them got started together to get a set of clothes, and after it was over, he was only tired, and it was really Hanfu, he sighed. After getting dressed, I wear a wig and makeup, often mix in the circle, and I can do it myself, using the whitest foundation with the brightest lipstick, plus blood and tears made of artificial plasma, which looks quite good from a distance.

When performing, Cui Qi has more of his own understanding, fundamentally speaking, the image of this doll is still Eddie, he did not deliberately hide the male action, but strengthened the stiffness of the doll's action, in the lightning and thunder, the red-clothed and black-haired doll flashed on the window on the second floor, and as the camera pushed into the villa, suddenly it was on the dark red carpet, suddenly next to the chandelier, and suddenly on the corridor on the second floor, she always mysteriously appeared and disappeared mysteriously, shedding a pool of blood on the carpet.

The torrential rain continued, and after finishing the doll's shooting, Rosie excitedly pointed the camera out the window, Cui Qi took off his makeup, and suddenly mentioned that he wanted to reshoot some scenes of Eddie.

"Actually, they all died, twenty years ago because of a curse?" Cui asked.

Calvin nodded, "The curse continues. ”

"Add's father was beheaded under an apple tree, Eddie's mother was buried in the yard, Eddie's sister was put on a chandelier, and Eddie himself was built into the wall?" Cui Qian guessed based on several things that happened in the script.

"Yes!" Understood correctly, Calvin nodded and gave a thumbs up.

"Who killed them? Is it Addy? Cui Qi asked.

"You can imagine it as a curse, a doll's curse! A qiē starts when they have this doll! ”

"I'm going to reshoot the scene where Eddie digs in the ground," Cui said changed into Eddie's clothes.

"Now?" Rossi expressed surprise.

"It's better in a rainstorm, it's a suspense, and the audience will ask if it was Eddie who killed his mother?" As he spoke, he motioned to Rossi to prepare: "Please hand me that mischievous prosthetic hand!" ”

Calvin tossed his prosthetic hand smeared with artificial plasma to Cui Qi, who took the marbles and ran into the rain, burying his hands and marbles in the soil.

“OK!” He motioned to Calvin.

“OK! Action! ”

Cui Qi closed his eyes and calmed down, adjusted his state back to Eddie mode, opened his eyes and knelt down, digging up the soil with a little nervousness. The rain was so heavy that the Milky Way poured down and fell on his back. Water ran down his cheeks like beads, and Eddie wiped his face, and he continued to dig, and he found one, and held it up slowly and reverently, and watched the rain wash away the mud and ash, and he smiled, grinning silently and with relief, and then he continued digging frantically, and found one marble after another, and wiped it clean like a treasure, and he took it in his arms, and got up and left. The end of the shot is on the ground that Eddie had dug up, where a finger peeked out of the soil with a dark stain of congealed blood.

“Great?” Cui asked.

“Great!” Calvin jumped up and gave him a bear hug, but it was only enough to reach his leg.

Cui Qi squatted down and gave him a hug back, and Calvin excitedly said that this scene was very good, very terrifying.

"Black is a natural mystical color," he gave a thumbs up.

Cui Jun was noncommittal, and Calvin had said early on that he liked black. A big reason why he caught Cui Qi at the door of Rofos was because he had black hair and black eyes, as for Cui Qi's acting skills, Kavin was surprised to find out that Cui Qi was still an Oriental actor when he was filming. The pie-in-the-sky feeling, Mr. Kavin later said, but the pie trap also included Choi's cooking, and the two Americans marveled at authentic Oriental cuisine, even though they always liked to add cheese and ketchup.

The day before he was in the rain and the next day he was sick, Cui Zhen really felt that everything had not gone well since he came to the United States. The fever in the United States relied on resistance, and he hurried to the hospital without going away for three days, seeing that the fever reached 39 degrees, Wenkar and Rossi were still busy adding ice cubes for him, and Cui Qi depressedly took away a bunch of ice cubes and said that he still filmed a few scenes of Eddie's father.

"Do you watch the joke again?" Rosie's eyes widened in complete disbelief, and in his cognition, he had to take a leave of absence immediately for a fever and cold.

"Fahrenheit 100.5 degrees, it's already much better," Cui Qi got up to change clothes, he remembered that he had a fever last time and followed Xie Sirong to be coquettish, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"No, no, no, you have to rest!" Rosie and Calvin both pressed him back to the bed: "You can't work!" ”

Under the resolute refusal of the other two, Cui Qi rested for a day, and his heart was depressed, and he became more and more homesick at this time. Dialing Grandma's number and listening to the blind voice would make him feel more comfortable, even though he knew that the person on that side was long gone. Then there is Xie Sirong, it has become a habit to quit a little hard, the moment he dialed it, he heard a "hey" and suddenly pressed it, and suddenly thought of the scandal he saw before, he and Xie Sirong ended, and there was a new scandal, this circle has always been like this, he was anxious and scratched and deliberately threw these things behind. Should I go see her when I get back? After taking the medicine, his head was groggy, and he thought about the white wedding dress she had fantasized about in a daze, and he suddenly remembered that he had thought about buying a ring a long time ago, and then there were various things, and it was over. He preferred red weddings, and he thought, ah, it's over, there's no red.
