In 2012, a friend who doesn't usually have much contact with me suddenly came to me, his surname is Lin, and we call him Xiaolinzi. Speaking of which, this friend was met in 2009 when Master took me to a Taoist peer exchange meeting, he was younger than me, and at that time he had just worshipped a master, and his master and Xiao Ye's master were brothers of different sects. There were very few people in that exchange meeting, and there were even fewer young ones, and the exchange meeting was a gathering of the older generation of masters to discuss and communicate with each other, all of which were some profound things, and we didn't understand or be interested in it at all, so that three-day exchange meeting, we three and a half young men basically spent the day in the bar.

Originally, the three of us weren't very familiar with each other, but in the bar, because of Xiao Ye's violent temper, he had a group fight with a few local riffraff, and we also lost, and each of us was beaten fat. It was really a friend who shared the hardships together, and after that time, we became familiar with each other. They also call each other brothers, and resolutely look like heroes in the rivers and lakes. It's just that he later thought that learning the Tao was too hard and couldn't remember so many talisman spells, so he was swept away by his master after only a few months of apprenticeship.

Although he was different from us, our friendship did not disappear because of it. We also have a good impression of his character of fighting and not wanting to die. It's not that he really doesn't want to die, it's that he talks about righteousness and compares with our appetite. Although we don't have much contact later, the three of us will still greet each other when we have the opportunity. We have always called us gentlemen's friends, light as water.

Although his monastic heart is unstable, he has a great dream, that is, he wants to be an actor, just like Mr. Stephen Chow in The King of Comedy, he always wants to shine in his acting career. But he was not as lucky as Mr. Stephen Chow, so without any backstage, he kept following various crews to run group performances. Dozens of dollars a day, plus a boxed lunch, he has been doing this kind of thing for almost two years. Many times I expect to find him in various TV and movie extras, but I am helpless, I don't know if the level of the photographer is too superb, or if he is wearing makeup and I can't recognize him. I've never seen him on the screen once, and I've even searched for all the humble corpses. I still haven't seen him.

This time, Xiao Linzi suddenly found me, and the first thing he said was not to ask me where I had made my fortune recently, but to say in a sincere tone: "Brother Liu, our crew has encountered a ghost matter, can you come to help solve it?"

I jokingly said, "Are there any big stars?" I won't go without a big star."

He said: "How can there be any big stars, a drama in the Republic of China, they are all third-tier actors. This time, I'm not in a group performance, but a supporting role with a single shot, you come over to help, if this matter is solved, maybe it will help me in my future acting career."

"If there is no big star, then I won't go, you look for Xiao Ye, he likes to run around." I still laughed and quipped.

"Really, don't be kidding, Brother Liu, Xiao Ye is too far away, you are in Guangzhou, we happen to be in Guangzhou, you are just helping out. You come, I invite you to drink. You can drink anything." He said eagerly, as if he had promised the crew to help solve this matter.

I pretended to think and said, "Okay, then how much money does your crew give to solve this matter?"

He was silent for a while and said: "Can you be considered a personal favor for me, I didn't ask the crew for funds, I said that a friend of mine can handle it and can help the crew save a sum of money. That's why the crew agreed to give me a few more shots."

I was a little speechless, but I didn't care, and continued: "Then you and your crew say, you have to add a few more lines, or we will suffer too much."

When he saw that I agreed, he also said happily: "Brother Liu, don't tease, the dead corpse must have lines, isn't that a fraud?"

......, yes, this time directly playing the corpse. I really feel sad for his hard work in the past few years, hearing him say this, I really want to say to him: Brother, stop it, you have no background, no money, no godmother, no type, you haven't received professional training, why can't you figure out how to be an actor, but we have told him many times in this way, it doesn't work at all, and in the end I can't help it, my mouth spit out the opposite of my heart: "Okay, when, where are you?"

He said, "It's right here in Yuexiu. Will you come over at night or now?" I said now, I haven't seen you in a long time, let's have dinner together. He smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll ask you.

Rushed to the agreed place, he was already standing outside waiting for me, and he told me that he was staying in a guest house, the kind that cost dozens of dollars a bed, and the crew reimbursed all of them. I smiled and asked him, "What?" How many times can that corpse you play die again? Why are you still with the crew?" He said: "No, just die once, but I have to shoot a lot of shots, and I am now helping the props crew manage and prepare some props, so I will stay with the crew. It's also a crew member, hehe."

I saw pride in his smile, that kind of pride that was full of satisfaction, undisguised, as if it was already very satisfying for him. I didn't continue to tease him, and said: "Congratulations, Xiaolinzi, one step closer to your dream, go, I will do my best to be a landlord and take you to eat authentic Cantonese food. By the way, you're not in a hurry, are you?"

He said, "If you don't rush, you can just go to the set at seven o'clock in the evening." I looked up at my watch, and it was half past five. I dismissed the idea of having a drink with him, and took him to the nearest restaurant with relatively good taste and relatively few people. There are many delicious restaurants in Guangzhou, but when it comes to the meal, you basically need to queue up, and you can queue for half an hour at every turn. Can only be dealt with a little.

After ordering the food, we chatted with each other about the current situation, and called Xiao Ye together, Xiao Ye was anxious like a monkey over there, and shouted for a while to fly over and drink us. After a while, I shouted that I wanted to go again, find someone to fight again, and let out the anger of the last beating. I had a great conversation, like going back to when we were fighting together three years ago. It's just that things are wrong now, and the deeds and impulses of those young and frivolous are no longer suitable for us. Everyone has their own life pressures, let alone fighting, and even the interest in watching others fight is gone.

After hanging up the phone, the dishes were also served, and one of us took a small bottle of two and a half of the wine, although there was something to do at night, but I didn't see it for a long time, and I really felt that something was missing if I didn't order the wine. After the first glass of wine, we started talking about this time.

Xiao Linzi told me that they made a ghost film during the Republic of China this time, so there are a lot of shots of burning paper money at the crossroads in the middle of the night, and before the start of the film, he put forward his opinion, saying that he can't really do these things, either replace the paper money with paper, or do some measures to ward off ghosts so as not to provoke friends in the spirit world, but the director didn't do it, he said that the realism of using paper is not high, and said that doing ghost measures will also affect the authenticity of the picture, in short, I don't believe this, I don't think this can really attract ghosts. But when a person walks by the river, how can he not get his shoes wet? The more unbelieving something is, the more it has to prove to you how ignorant you are.

What I want to explain here is that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television at that time still allowed horror films, people can become ghosts, animals after the Republic of China can still be cultivated into demons, and love before graduating from high school can also be successful. But that's no longer allowed.

Speaking of Xiao Linzi and their crew, his persuasion was fruitless, and he didn't insist anymore, for fear that his dead body would not be able to show his face, so he didn't talk much. It was filmed like this for more than a month, and he also did some things to summon spirits, but nothing happened, so he was relieved, but in the scene last night, there was a problem. This question is not big or big, and it is not big or big.

How? It's that last night's script reached the plot of burning paper money at the crossroads in the middle of the night. It just so happened that it was the middle of the moon yesterday, the moon was bright and the yin was strong, and in order to achieve the truth, they happened to come to the intersection of the cemetery at midnight and start shooting. The plot of this time is probably like this, an old man's daughter died in red clothes, red skirts and red shoes and became a ghost, and a ghost hunter with ill intentions suggested that he burn paper money at the intersection on the night of the full moon to overspend his daughter, in fact, he wanted to kill the old man, and I don't know who wrote the script, but he wanted to burn paper at the intersection on the night of the full moon and half moon. It's still near the cemetery, so it's no wonder.

Everything is ready, the sacrifices used are all genuine, the paper money, tribute incense, red candles and the like are also some genuine things, and the lens is set far away, which is a long shot, which means that no one is allowed within a few meters of this old man's side. In the end, the shot was finished, but when it was put on the machine, there was a problem, there should have been only one old man in the lens, and when the video came out, there were several people densely packed there. Except for the old man who knelt on the ground and burned the paper, the others were all circling around the pile of paper money outside, and all of them were pale and pale blue under the light of the moon. It's creepy to look at.

After this video came out, it frightened the people in the crew, that shot was an exterior scene, and it was just a brief memory picture. So there weren't many people coming, except for the old man, there was a director and two photographers, a props group, and a lighting group. And only the cameraman and the director saw that video, and the other one was Xiao Linzi of the props team. Before the director could speak out in shock, another camera shouted loudly while running towards the actor who had just finished burning the paper: "Hey, uncle, uncle, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Linzi looked up and saw that good guy, not far away, the actor who was sitting on the small bench just now and burning paper money had fallen to the ground, convulsing all over his body.
