Chapter Forty-Nine: A Magical Script

After a satisfying lunch, everyone sat down in the center of the living room, and after some thoughts on the "Chef God Competition", they began to discuss the movie script.

"What kind of script are you going to get this time?"

Chen Yingjie is very puzzled, everyone here basically has no experience in writing reasoning scripts, which can be said to be a very weak combination.

"Everyone should have thought of some genres in the past two days, let's talk about them separately, maybe it's a good story when combined."

Qiu Yanzi is very confident, concentrates the wisdom of the people, and will definitely be able to create an excellent script.

Everyone has their own notes in their hands, with rich and unrich notes on them, and everyone's preparation is very sufficient, including Mo Ming, who used to be the most annoying to write.

"Well, let me do it first, after all, I'm not doing very well."

Chen Yingjie raised her hand a little ashamedly, she was very bad at this kind of writing work, she was at home for two days, and she racked her brains and didn't think of any good tricks.

"Well, I think the atmosphere of a mystery movie must be terrifying, abandoned factories, old school buildings that are unused, deserted hospital corridors......

Chen Yingjie began to tremble as she spoke, and cold sweat broke out.

"Since you're so scared...... Let's just make it up."

Mo Ming was both admiring and speechless for Chen Yingjie's reckless behavior.

"This one of me...... I'm scared when I think about it, it's going to be scary when I shoot it."

"It can only frighten you."

"Long-winded, this is the most classic bridge."

When Chen Yingjie and Mo Ming teased and counterattacked, Yan Wu had something to say.

"That...... I'll interrupt a bit."

"Please."

"I think it's hard to find this kind of site, our school doesn't have an old school building, so it should be difficult to requisition the hospital, right? Words about abandoned factories...... There shouldn't be one in Qingchuan Town, because the industry here is still quite weak."

"This...... It's also a problem, and I've taken it into account."

Chen Yingjie thought about it, she actually thought about going outside the town to shoot, but she didn't know if other people's time could be coordinated.

"What do you think of going to the old junior high school building in the next town? I have acquaintances there, so I might be able to borrow the space."

After she finished speaking, everyone began to think seriously, Yan Wu and Jiang Wentai frowned slightly, and Mo Ming was even more exaggerated and shocked.

Out of Harukawa Town? It's impossible, it's impossible to get out of Qingchuan Town for the rest of your life.

"That, I think the time may not be coordinated, it's not long before the Qingchuan Festival, and it can only be completed by shooting a little bit every day, and I went to the next town, I'm afraid the shooting time is not enough, and the equipment is not convenient to carry."

Yan Wu analyzed this problem very rationally, if it was during the summer vacation, it would still be possible, but now, it is obviously not suitable.

"It's also ......."

Chen Yingjie nodded, she didn't expect so much.

"And if you shoot it, you might cause trouble for others, after all, it's a junior high school."

Jiang Wentai also rejected this plan.

"Okay......

Just as Chen Yingjie was about to give up this idea, Qiu Yanzi seemed to have some idea.

"That...... I don't think it's necessarily these classic scenes, as long as it's scary enough."

Qiu Yanzi looked at Mo Ming with a eager face, his eyes lit up, and after a while, Mo Ming would come to his senses.

"That's what you say......

Seeing the inexplicable tacit understanding between Qiu Yanzi and Mo Ming, everyone was a little puzzled.

"Huh? Does Naruto have any secret base with Hinata?"

The natural Luo Nan tilted his head, this ambiguous remark made Qiu Yanzi shy, embarrassed Mo Ming, made the expressions of others subtle, and made Yan Wu a little sluggish.

"It's not...... It's not."

Qiu Yanzi waved his hand and shook his head, and hurriedly denied.

"I'm talking about the ancestral hall."

After she finished speaking, everyone reacted, it turned out to be the ancestral hall where white bones appeared in the morning.

"That's a good idea, I've been to the ancestral hall with Xiao Ming before, and it's a bit gloomy."

"Alas! That place, I have a shadow......

Chen Yingjie clasped her hands on her shoulders, trembling, and had seen a desperate expression on her face.

"Is the Luo Ancestral Hall really scary?"

Yan Wu didn't quite understand that her family had only moved from the village below to Xinjie in recent years. I used to live far away from the town, and I haven't been to this legendary old ancestral hall.

"Ah, this super scary, especially the strange smiling Buddha inside, always feels like its eyes are changing."

Luo Nan seemed a little frightened in retrospect.

"Xiao Nan, have you been with Mo Ming before?"

Qiu Hinako's tone was puzzled.

"That's right, at that time, me, Wentai and Xiaoming often went, and Yingjie also went once, but he didn't dare after that."

"That's right."

Qiu Yanzi was a little inconspicuously lost, and looked at Mo Ming with piercing eyes, which made Mo Ming a little frightened.

"What did I do wrong...... I thought back to what I had done, and I should be rigorous.

With a "hum", Qiu Hinako turned her head.

Mo Ming felt ten thousand grievances in his heart.

"Then ...... Ancestral hall, I think you should be able to take good pictures there."

Yang Huhu nodded from a professional point of view.

"If Senior Sister thinks it's convenient to shoot, then let's shoot in the ancestral hall."

On a blank piece of paper, Qiu wrote a key word, "ancestral hall"

"Do you have any other ideas, Yingjie?"

"Well, my ideas are based on the previous locations, and since it's an ancestral hall, it's not necessary."

"Ugh...... So, what are the suggestions for a unified point? Tell me about it."

Hinako Yaka wants everyone to participate in the event, and all opinions should be heard.

"Actually, I think the most exciting thing in mystery movies is the murder in the closed room."

Chen Yingjie has only recently begun to pay attention to mystery novels and remake movies, and the impossible murder incident makes her feel very brain-burning, especially the crime in the closed room, which is very shocking.

"The Chamber of Secrets...... There are quite a few rooms in the ancestral hall, so there is no problem with shooting."

Yang Huhu nodded in agreement.

"Sure enough, the reasoning still needs a secret room!"

Jiang Wentai seemed to be very excited, glanced at Mo Ming, and thought to himself, "What kind of puzzling modus operandi can this guy come up with?" It's so interesting.

Mo Ming seemed to feel this kind of gaze with anticipation, and didn't react much, just glanced at his best friend.

Other people's ideas are also OK, so Qiu Hinako's "Thriller" and "Secret Room" plans were passed.

"Hey, hey! Then I'll do it."

Jiang Wentai followed behind Chen Yingjie and raised his hand excitedly.

"Well, to be honest, I'm still interested in guessing puzzles, but it's a bit of a chicken to make up puzzles, so I'm thinking about something else."

Kang Wentai avoided the plot of the story, interrupted to find another way, and said his unique thoughts.

"Anything else?"

Qiu Yanzi doesn't understand, so he should discuss the script first, right?

"Don't worry, Minister, this other aspect is also about the plot."

"Oh, what kind of thing is that?"

Jiang Wentai's expression was suddenly solemn, he closed his eyes, and made a contemplative gesture, although these actions deceived others, but Mo Ming knew that this guy's next move was to play treasure.

"There is no such thing as a perfect crime."

The voice is deep and the eyes are sharp.

"Imitating Sherlock Holmes."

Mo Ming broke it with a word, this is a classic quote from Sherlock Holmes, I have to say that this guy really learns well.

"That's right, I think the protagonists of our movie this time can be directly set as Sherlock and Watson."

"Is the story set in modern-day Britain?"

Mo Ming was very puzzled, the place where the crime occurred was in the ancestral hall, the background of the story was indeed European, no matter how the East and West merged, it was rare for these two elements to coexist, right?

"No, well...... Doesn't my country also have the surname Xia Hehua?"

「…… Hearing you say that, it doesn't feel like Sherlock Holmes is that great."

"I mean, the protagonists are these two people, and the costumes and names are imitated."

Jiang Wentai explained very carefully, and Mo Ming also understood the meaning, such a theme does have selling points.

"I think it's good!"

Qiu Hinako is very excited, she still likes Sherlock Holmes recently, and if she can make a movie about them, it should be wonderful.

"Huh? I think so, too."

Jiang Wentai responded with a smile, and then glanced at Mo Ming defiantly, who scoffed at this kind of operation.

"And, Minister, I even borrowed their clothes."

"Really? I want to see it."

"Ah...... Wentai, you even did this kind of thing without permission."

Chen Yingjie teased him, he was busy with this kind of thing, and he definitely didn't have time to think about the plot, alas, he gave up so quickly.

"Wentai has no talent, so he can only be active in other aspects."

Jiang Wentai waved his hand indifferently.

"Are the props ready, it's pretty detailed."

Yan Wu praised Jiang Wentai's seriousness.

"But I wasn't quite ready, I just borrowed a Sherlock Holmes costume with a long body size and a Watson costume with Xiao Ming's body size."

"Huh?"

Qiu Yanzi Mo Ming let out an exclamatory sound at the same time.

"This...... What does that mean?"

Qiu Hina was very puzzled.

"Well, the minister's image is very similar to Sherlock."

"What about me?"

Mo Ming had an expression on his face that was ready to accuse Jiang Wentai.

"I'm just trying to trouble you."

Jiang Wentai gave a thumbs up and showed his teeth and smiled heartily.

"Well, thank you for your ulterior motives."

"It must be well-intentioned, right?"

A verbal fight may have begun, but it was interrupted by Yan Wu's sudden question.

"Minister, I think...... You may not be too busy, don't you have the heroine of the stage play in the second class, and you have to serve as the heroine of the movie...... Man...... The protagonist is working too hard, isn't it?"

Qiu Yanzi was concerned by Yan Wu, and she looked at each other blankly.

"The rehearsal for the stage play is over......

"But...... Anyway, it's too hard."

"Well, it's okay, everyone has to act, I think it's acceptable......

"Sherlock...... Sherlock: It's hard for him to play."

Yan Wu didn't know what she was talking about anymore.

"That...... Holmes' costume might not be a good fit for the class leader."

Jiang Wentai suddenly interjected, making Yan Wu feel as if he was frightened, and his body leaning forward suddenly straightened, with an unnatural wry smile.

"That...... I'm not...... I didn't, didn't think about it that way...... The minister is actually quite suitable for Sherlock."

Divided and stammered, Yan Wu said this.

"Ugh...... That's right."

Qiu Yanzi was very puzzled, but he seemed to have accepted a certain role, so he nodded knowingly.

"My opinion is not ......?"

Mo Ming wanted to say something, but his voice was obviously not very small, but it seemed very faint, and it was obliterated by other voices.

"That, then decide the hero and heroine."

Qiu Yanzi nodded a little shyly, Mo Ming was reminded of some memories by this incident, the stage play of the second class.

"That's the end of my presentation, please the next one."

Jiang Wentai bowed untimely.

"Then ...... Let me tell you something, I have only one request......

Senior Sister Yang Huhu doesn't talk much today, maybe she has already positioned her identity, that is, a photographer and editor, so her speech should not be too much, and she can't limit the plot from the perspective of shooting.

"I think...... There should be murders, that is, dead people, and the number of people is decided."

"It's so bloody, will it fail the review?"

Luo Nan expressed his worries, how about it is also a high school art festival, will it not be good if it is too dark?

"No, the school has no control over this, as long as there are no porn shots."

Jiang Wentai was very naughty and said some shy, which made Qiu Yanzi very embarrassed.

"That's right."

Luo Nan didn't expect the school to be really open.

"And how many people died?"

Mo Ming asked a very crucial question, there are only six actors in total this time, and if there are too many deaths, the story will not be clear.

"That's one, right?"

Yan Wu's question was still very thoughtful, and everyone nodded when she got an answer, although Qiu Yanzi was a little hesitant, because she didn't like stories where someone would die, but if it was a reasoning movie, there was no way, she didn't object.

"Great...... The plasma, skeletons, and daggers I prepared should come in handy."

「……」

Yang Huhu breathed a sigh of relief, his face was relaxed, but people were scared, what is the origin of this senior sister.

"That's my turn."

Luo Nan slowly raised her hand, and after everyone focused their eyes on her, she began her own statement.

"This...... I don't know much about reasoning, but I have a little idea if I can connect this event with love......

"Add an element of love?"

Qiu Hinako asked seriously.

"Yes."

Luo Nan squinted his eyes and replied with a smile.

"Love killing, this kind of bridge is also quite good."

Chen Yingjie nodded, this kind of Chen Yingjie, who links love and murder, makes Jiang Wentai so scared, are girls all this kind of extreme thinking, it's terrible.

Except for Mo Ming and Jiang Wentai, who did not object, everyone else agreed, so this article was easily passed.

"That...... It's my turn."

Yan Wu didn't know what to say, although the school magazine was a layman in the reasoning movie, but she also learned that they used push to solve a lot of puzzles, but she really didn't understand anything, what should I say? She asked her brother about it, and she came up with this answer.

"I think in the movie, there is more psychological speculation, that is, the psychological warfare between the prisoner and Sherlock."

"Psychological warfare...... This makes the murderer more cunning, yes, I think it can."

Qiu Yanzi felt that it made sense, and everyone agreed, so this point was also passed.

In the end, it was Mo Ming, in fact, Mo Ming really thought about it carefully, but because the plot was only outlined now, the techniques that he inexplicably thought of had to be slightly modified before they could be put on the stage.

But Mo Ming also has something to say.

"Have you seen After School?"

Mo Ming asked everyone a question, everyone was at a loss, only Jiang Wentai had some understanding.

"I've read this book, it was written by Keigo Higashino."

"So, how do you feel?"

"Thoughts? That's a lot...... But what surprised me the most was the murderer's motive for killing, which was shocking."

Jiang Wentai thinks back to the plot and feels like he is deeply involved in it, and sure enough, a good book can resonate.

"Wentai? What is the motive?"

Chen Yingjie was very curious, and Jiang Wentai smiled slightly.

"I'll tell you this when you're older."

"Uh, you guy."

Chen Yingjie didn't ask any questions, and Mo Ming continued to add.

"I think the motivation has to be intentional, and sometimes the motivation can transcend the technique and become the audience's favorite plot."

What Mo Ming said was very reasonable, and everyone agreed, and Qiu Yanzi also wrote the words "unique motives" on the paper.

Everyone's elaboration has ended, and it's time for Qiu Yanzi's summary. She looked at the various words on the white paper that were hard to put together.

Ancestral halls, secret rooms, Sherlock Holmes, murder, love, psychological warfare, motives.

After reading the setting, Qiu Hinako slowly raised her head and looked at everyone.

"I have a hunch that this is a great script."
