Chapter 4 Set-up
Lao Zhang spit out a smoke ring, looked at me again, and said, "Because you have a lot of yang energy." ”
Ahem, that's it! I thought it was a little disappointing. Chong Lao Zhang smiled and said, "No, young man!" ”
Who knew that Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant." ”
"That's not what you mean?" I scratched the back of my head and asked, "What does that mean?" ”
Lao Zhang took two more puffs and didn't answer me directly.
"You know that every crew has to say goodbye before they start filming, right?"
I nodded.
The so-called "worship" refers to the ritual of worshipping God. This is the rule of filming, and everyone knows it.
Although I am a small dragon and have never been qualified to participate in the worship ceremony, I know this tradition.
"Ordinary crews, when they say goodbye, they light three sticks of incense, and they want to make a fortune safely and smoothly." Lao Zhang gave me illiteracy.
"And the crew of the horror film has to go to five pillars of incense. In addition to seeking peace and wealth, there is also a role in looking at fortune. ”
"Look at the fortune?" I haven't really heard of that.
Lao Zhang nodded: "If the five-pillar incense is basically burned neatly, it is the best." If the length is uneven, it may not be going well, and you need to be careful. ”
"Do you know what the incense head looks like when our crew turns on the camera and says goodbye?"
I shook my head and listened with wide eyes.
"Three long and two short!" Lao Zhang said, took two more puffs, and snuffed out the cigarette.
"Oh?" My interest was immediately hooked, "What do you say?" ”
Lao Zhang found a big rock and sat down, and I sat next to each other.
"Three long and two short incense heads are the most taboo in the crew, and if this kind of incense appears during the worship, it indicates that something is going to happen. Especially in movies like ours, it is easy to attract spirits. ”
After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he looked left and right and lowered his voice.
"I don't say anything about Director Zheng's talent, but he is less than forty, young and vigorous, and he doesn't pay much attention to these things. So the producer approached me and told me to find someone who could hold down the scene and join the group. ”
"What does it mean to be able to hold down the field?" I do not quite understand.
Lao Zhang glanced at me and said, "Ping'an, didn't you notice that you are a little different?" ”
I didn't know what he was referring to, so I shook my head.
"Actually, when I went to the gate of Beijing Film Studio that day, I didn't meet by chance, but I was looking for you."
As soon as Lao Zhang's words came out, I was immediately confused.
"Looking for me?"
"Hmm. I asked for a lot of information about group performances from several group leaders before, and I checked them one by one with a perpetual calendar, and finally found you. Your lunar birthday is the ninth day of September, right? ”
I nodded.
"The day of the Double Ninth Festival is one of the heaviest days of the year. Because nine is the largest number, and two nines are superimposed, the yang energy is heavier on this day. ”
After listening to it, it dawned on me that there was still this statement.
"And when I met you in person, I found that you spoke confidently, your eyes were very bright, and you were bold, all of which were manifestations of yang energy."
"So I think you're the person I'm looking for, the person who can give me a boost. Our jargon is called 'set in the field'. ”
"Set the show?" I repeat it again.
Lao Zhang sighed and said, "Director Zheng has to open the well in the afternoon, I don't agree, but I can't resist him." No, something happened! ”
I thought about it and said, "Oops, that's because I didn't hold it down?" Listening to his words, I inexplicably felt a little guilty of myself.
Lao Zhang waved his hand, stared at me for a while, and said, "You tell me the truth, why didn't you follow just now?" ”
I was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Would you believe me if I said I felt in danger?" ”
Lao Zhang stared at me for a moment, then nodded.
Having said that, I don't think I can hide it anymore, I have to tell Lao Zhang.
I said, "Director Zhang, this is a bit evil. ”
Then I told me what I had seen in the well.
Lao Zhang was taken aback after hearing this and asked; "Do you see it?"
"I was so close that I could see it clearly. But if the people next to me see it or not, I don't know. ”
Lao Zhang frowned, thought for a while and said, "Let's go, follow me to see the mother tape." ”
I followed Lao Zhang back to the temporary studio. He took the key and opened the cabinet, took out the roll of film he had just shot, turned on the projector, and carefully watched the playback.
However, we watched it three times, and there was no shadow of the person in the camera.
I had already expected this result and whispered, "Sure enough, I didn't shoot it." ”
Lao Zhang turned off the machine, put back the film, and dragged me out of the house.
"Ping'an, what do you mean when you just said, 'I really didn't get it'?"
"Director Zhang, I think the extra one is definitely not a person, so it's impossible to photograph it." As I said this, I felt a chill.
Lao Zhang frowned again, and a big pimple twisted between his eyebrows.
"I'll discuss with Director Zheng tomorrow, strive to speed up the filming progress, and leave here early after filming."
He looked at me and said, "Ping, if you have any strange feelings, you must tell me as soon as possible!" ”
I nodded.
When I got back to my accommodation, it was already dark. After a day of tossing and turning, exhausted, I went to bed without washing up.
In the middle of the night, I was woken up by a small noise in the yard.
Someone from the next room stepped out, and the footsteps were heavy and dragging sound.
When I came out in the middle of the night, it must have been an urgent need to urinate. I didn't take it seriously, rolled over and prepared to go back to sleep.
But at this moment, I heard the wooden latch at the courtyard gate "clang", and the footsteps slowly walked outside the courtyard.
No, the toilet is in the yard, who's going out?
I got up and looked out the window.
Looking at the back, it seems to be Zhao Wei, one of the zombies who passed out at night. At this time, he was wearing only a thin autumn coat and a pair of boxers, and he was bare-legged, and he didn't even wear shoes.
In early spring, it was warm and cold, and the mountain wind in the village was harder. It's no wonder that he doesn't freeze to death when he dresses up like this.
is already weak, what is he going to do?
Just thinking about it, I saw his feet, and my head immediately "buzzed"-
I saw that Zhao Wei only landed on his toes, and the soles of his feet and heels were exaggeratedly raised, like a ballet dancer. If the average person tiptoes to this height, he will definitely not be able to stand steadily.
Ghost Footsteps! The word immediately crossed my mind.
I love to read books when I'm fine, romance and martial arts are not my favorite, I only like to read books about gods and ghosts.
I've read the famous "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Huainanzi" and whatever, and I have also read the nameless ghost story monthly magazine and Internet horror novels. Sometimes I also read the Book of Changes and the like, of course, I don't understand it.
It doesn't have any purpose, it just finds it interesting.
I don't remember the book saying that if you find someone walking with the soles of their feet exaggerated and their eyes turned up, they are being stamped by ghosts.
The person who is stepped by the ghost is the one who is targeted by the ghost and wants to kill the person who takes the stand-in. Although I don't know if what is said in the book is true, Zhao Wei in front of me is definitely not normal!
You can't sit idly by. I got out of bed, put on my clothes, and chased out.
