Chapter 1: Ghosts

Su Jingyi took the script in front of her and drank a cup of hot lemon tea.

It's winter now. Recently, the sky has become darker and darker.

She took out her pen and continued to take notes on the script. Next week, the company will officially start filming the second season of "Ghost".

Su Jingyi attaches great importance to this opportunity, and for her, who has aspired to be an actress since she was a child, she must perform better than in the first season.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. She hurriedly picked up the phone and asked, "Hey......"

"Is it Jingyi? So, listen, you don't need to read the script for now, the script has to be changed again. This time the advertiser came up with a new demand, and the characters had to be added, huh...... You'll have to cut back a little bit. The new script will be sent to you tomorrow, so you will know first. ”

Su Jingyi stayed up late to read the script last night, and now she has memorized all the lines in the script, and now, the company actually notified her directly, do you have to change the script?

"Increase ...... What role? ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Advertisers say whatever they say, just to inform you. ”

Su Jingyi is not in her own agent, she has only debuted for three years, and before starring in "Ghost", her Baidu Encyclopedia only had very little content.

"Moreover, you should also know that the second season is planned to shoot a full 50 episodes, of course, you have to add side plots, and this time period is reserved for advertisers to carry out ad placement, isn't it a double win?"

"Good...... I, I see. ”

In the final analysis, she is a contracted artist of the company, and she has to do whatever the company says. Other than that, nothing can be done.

She put down the hot lemon tea in her hand and rested her head against the wall behind her.

She was really tired. The job of an actor is really hard.

"Ghost" is a 48-episode TV series filmed by STV TV last year, and it received the highest ratings of a star-studded TV series of the year. It's 2030, and the most popular TV series now is no longer costume dramas and romance dramas, but horror dramas. The first season only filmed half of the plot of the original book, and this time, the second half was filmed. As a TV drama producer, the company requires that it must be completed before Christmas this year, and through post-production, it can be broadcast in the summer of next year. The success of the previous TV series has also attracted a large number of advertisers for the second TV series, judging from the script, there are at least more than 60 advertisers implanted, and the entire series is densely filled with various advertisements, which can be said to be inserting TV series in advertisements.

However, even if the production funds are abundant, because the heroine's actor Fang Hanling can be said to be a traffic actor who dominates one side today, and now the salary is more than the sum of all the other actors in the crew, so almost more than sixty percent of the production fee has to be used to pay the salary, and the rest can only produce a TV series with five cents special effects. Fortunately, the audience is not here to see the special effects, so the company doesn't care about that. As for Su Jingyi, her salary is pitifully low, and the irony is that in the first season, her role is actually basically the same as that of the heroine, and there was even a period of time when the heroine filmed a movie and participated in two variety shows at the same time, so the screenwriter had to increase her role, and as a result, there were fifteen episodes of content Her role far exceeded that of the heroine.

She looked out the window. By this time, it was already dark. There should be no one in the company now.

She locked the door and walked out, looking at the poster on the wall promoting the second season of Ghost. On the poster is a ghost with a hideous face, and below is the name of the heroine Su Yuling is written about three times larger than the male protagonist.

Su Jingyi walked quickly towards the elevator, and after pressing the elevator button, she turned on her mobile phone and began to browse the news. On the portal, there was also news about the upcoming start of the crew of the second season of "Ghost", so she clicked on it and checked the comments of netizens.

Of course, she knows that many of the netizens who commented here are water armies hired by the company, and they are bound to hype up the TV series before it starts. This time, the second season also invited the original author, Miss Bai Xinlan, whose pen name is Haiyue Liuying, to be one of the screenwriters. Of course, this is just a gimmick, Haiyue Liuying is currently busy preparing a new book, so she is just a pseudonym, and the actual screenwriting work is done by a few outsourced screenwriters. Since the company required that at least 50 episodes must be filmed in order to raise the price of selling the TV series to the TV station, the plot had to be flooded, so different plot lines were composed of different screenwriters.

Su Jingyi didn't mix well in the company, and the reason was very simple, she refused the salty pig hand that the leader stretched out to her collar. She naturally knows the chaos in the entertainment industry, but she doesn't want to become popular in this way anyway. She really wants to become a popular star, and only when she has commercial value can she get a good script, but then she realized that the current TV drama industry does not pay much attention to acting skills, and more importantly, traffic, that is, commercial value. In fact, she herself heard that the ratings of the first season of "Ghost" last year actually had a certain amount of moisture, of course, she didn't dare to guess what the proportion of this "must" was.

"It's so cold......"

The elevator still doesn't come.

So cold weather......

At this time, she suddenly turned her head and looked at the poster that was directly behind her. The face of the ghost on the poster made Su Jingyi shudder.

"Really...... It's kind of scary......"

It's getting colder and colder right now. And the first filming location chosen by the crew this time was in the deep mountains that were 50 kilometers away.

"Ding......

Finally, the elevator came.

She walked in quickly. Then, immediately press the close button.

"Hurry back...... Take a shower first......"

It's so wise to rent the house next to the company. Although she made some money from filming the first season last year, her father was not in good health, so she sent a lot of money home. Once there is a sick person in the family, the money is endless. If it weren't for her filming outside, there would be no way to support the burden of the family.

But just as the elevator doors were about to close, they suddenly stopped, and then the elevator doors opened again to both sides. Then the elevator doors closed again, and they opened again in the middle.

"What's going on?"

Su Jingyi looked at the horror poster on the wall facing her, and felt more and more scary.

"What the hell is this...... What's going on? “

This scene made her suddenly think of a plot in the first season of "Ghost"!

Su Jingyi felt that she was filming the first season of "Ghost", which was too much into the drama. How could there be such a scary idea?

However, no matter how many times you try, the elevator doors just won't close.

It scared her.

So, when the elevator door opened again, she immediately rushed out next to the elevator door!

Her heart was beating harder and harder as she ran down the escape ladder, and every now and then she looked back, afraid that something would be chasing her behind her!

In the end, she ran all the way to the lobby on the first floor. It was only then that she breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, she only felt that she was ridiculous, how could she have such an idea, it was better to go back quickly. Hurry back and ...... And that's it.

Company monitoring room.

A security guard is eating instant noodles, staring at the monitor in front of him.

At this time, he suddenly noticed a strange scene.

"Lao Li, that ...... You come to see? ”

"What's wrong? What's the matter? How many times have I told you, if you want to eat instant noodles, don't eat them here, what should I do if I spill them on the display? ”

"Look at this ......" the security guard put the instant noodles down and pointed to one of the surveillance screens, which was a picture from a camera in an elevator.

"Huh? This is? ”

"I think it's weird. Why don't we go up and have a look? ”

"Okay."

The two immediately put on their clothes and walked out of the monitoring room.

What they saw was the surveillance screen in the elevator that Su Jingyi had entered before. I saw that on the screen, there was a figure standing straight at the elevator door with an unclear face, and when the elevator door was closed, it would get stuck on him, and then it would retract again......

Since that day, no one has seen the two security guards again......
