William Lin slipped over and said a bunch of admiring words, which amused the assistant director non-stop, and probably had never seen such a poor foreigner who spoke Chinese so neatly, so he immediately patted his chest and asked Wang Xiaohu and William Lin to enter the crew to play eunuchs, fifty a night, in charge of lunch, William Lin and Wang Xiaohu naturally agreed, William Lin took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the assistant director a close set.

The assistant director took the cigarette and said that they made a documentary about the history of the last years of the Qing Dynasty, in order to be real, some scenes needed to be filmed in the Forbidden City, and they applied for it for several days, and said that they would participate in the Oscar for Best Documentary before it was approved, otherwise they would not be able to enter the Forbidden City to film, and now those Qing court scenes are all filmed in Hengdian.

I have to say that recruiting people at the gate of Beiying is a good move, it doesn't take much effort to recruit all the people, hula got into the car, a bus was crowded to Deng, and the aisle was crowded with more than 20 people, the car drove to an empty rented warehouse first, the assistant director gave a lecture, who should do what, all ordered over and over, Wang Xiaohu and William Lin played two eunuchs carrying lanterns, and after the Xinhai Revolution, the Empress Dowager Longyu was crying in ** hugging Puyi, waiting for the regent Zaifeng to come.

After rehearsing a few scenes, the assistant director was basically satisfied, and it was past five o'clock after a toss, the assistant director beckoned people to get on the bus and went straight to the Forbidden City, and it was almost eight o'clock when they arrived at the Forbidden City, and the entire crew was waiting outside with equipment, until the Forbidden City management personnel and security cadres arrived, and it took a long time to negotiate before taking the crew to Cining Palace.

The Forbidden City is located in the center of the capital and was formerly known as the Forbidden City. It is the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, an unparalleled masterpiece of ancient architecture, and the largest and most complete wooden structure of the ancient buildings in the world. In fact, the Forbidden City is only a part of the opening to the outside world, and a large part of it is not open to the outside world, for a variety of reasons, but no one can really say why, at five o'clock, the Forbidden City began to close its doors to clear customers, according to the old Beijingers, that hour is the heaviest moment of the Forbidden City's yin qi. Many visitors can feel that even in the sweltering summer, the Forbidden City at five o'clock will make people feel a kind of coldness...... In the past, there were people keeping vigil in the Forbidden City, but now there are no more, and they have been replaced by armed police soldiers.

To say that Wang Xiaohu of the Forbidden City has also been here, I feel that in addition to the large number of people, it is magnificent, but entering the Forbidden City at night is extraordinarily different, inside the dark Forbidden City, some places are lit up, and some places are simply pitch black, and the light outside the city is reflected in, which looks particularly gloomy, as if there are two worlds outside the world.

Everyone felt depressed, an indescribable cold seemed to envelop everyone, in order to strengthen their courage, everyone approached each other in twos and threes, whispering to each other, like this can drive away the fear on their bodies, the closest to Wang Xiaohu and William Lin is a twenty-eight or nine-year-old Beijing local man, especially able to say, close to Wang Xiaohu and squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Brother knows what is so gloomy in the Forbidden City?" ”

didn't wait for Wang Xiaohu and William Lin to answer, and said to himself: "Knowing the supernatural incident in the Forbidden City in the ninety-second year? Buddy tells you, it was a thunderstorm day in '92, and many tourists saw the palace maids and eunuchs, and some people took pictures. Later, experts said that it was because the palace maid and eunuch were thundering when they passed by there, and the wall left an image, and now it is thundering again, and the image is released, and the wall is similar to a video recorder. It's, there's a lot of thunder, why isn't this phenomenon happening anywhere else? ”

"Also, there are many courtyards in the Forbidden City that have been sealed! It was not open to tourists, and when it was not closed before liberation, many people died in these places! Either disappeared for no reason or died, but it was always so bizarre that the reason could not be found, but there was one thing in common, if the corpse could still be seen after death, then the corpse would have no face. More cautious is a well, on weekdays during the day, when you look down, the bottom of the well is some stones, weeds or something, but every night after 12 o'clock to look down, as long as there is a moon in the sky, you will see that the bottom of the well is not stones, weeds, but water, but the reflection of the water is not your face......

Originally, there was no one in the Forbidden City at night, and it was gloomy, and when this guy talked about it, he heard that William Lin was cold all over his body, and grinned: "Really fake? You him. Mom said it was too scary. ”

The buddy pouted: "I won't tell you, buddy's family used to have a background, and the children of the Zhenghei Banner were going to be put on hold in the Qing Dynasty, and the buddy was a Manchurian who carried a birdcage to go shopping on the street to eat imperial food, and now we are down, but I have heard a lot of things in the old generation." ”

Is the black flag? Wang Xiaohu was stunned, is there such a flag in the Eight Banners?

Beijingers can speak well, especially the local natives for several lifetimes, but also can speak well, mouth and sharp, not afraid of you talking, afraid that you don't talk, William Lin asked, this guy immediately came to the spirit, mysteriously said to them: "The Forbidden City, everyone knows that Lu Dao is the place where the emperor stays, eat, drink, Lazar, work, all here, that is really admired by all the people, the world is watching." From 1420 to 1910, almost 500 years, it was the center of the imperial dynasty, and there were no supernatural events for so many years, which were not recorded in the history books, nor were they recorded in the wild history. For what? ”

Feelings this buddy braggadocio has to be cheered on, Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but say: "Who he. What does Mom know what is the Tao for? Sensei nonsense, do you say it or not? ”

This buddy smiled, and his voice raised a few degrees and said: "Because of the desire of all the people, there is a mighty people's spirit between heaven and earth, and the ghosts dare not make a mistake." After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China abandoned the Forbidden City, no longer the center of state power, and the people's morale dissipated, which led to the later supernatural events. ”

"Also, the entire Forbidden City is only 700,000 square meters, which is far less than the size of many communities or university campuses where we live now. You think, 700,000 square meters of the Forbidden City, most of the front is the outer court, that is, the inner palace must not interfere with the political area, thousands of women, old and young, are crowded in the ** 200,000 square meters of place, and there is a royal garden, only one floor high, it is too crowded, except for a queen, an imperial concubine, two concubines, four concubines and a palace, the rest of the people are basically crowded together, it is rare to live in a single room, it is estimated that there is no bathroom, nothing to do all day, They all revolve around a man, and they are not as depressed as we are now, you can surf the Internet, go out to play in the mountains and rivers, go shopping, beauty, and eat, you say it's strange that they don't quarrel. ”

"Quarrels are commonplace, and so are dead people. There are many ways to die, but after death, they basically can't get out of the palace, and they bury something in a corner. In the 500-year history of the imperial dynasty, how many eunuchs and palace maids who died unjustly were buried in the Forbidden City? Can him. Mom, isn't there an accident? Zhen Huan's biography, it really wasn't filmed blindly...... Hey, do you say you like the little lord or the queen......"

This guy is very talkative, he has practiced Qimen kung fu with one mouth, and the words that come out are correct and round, without panting, he started from the haunting of the Forbidden City, and from Zhen Huan's biography to the crossing, from the crossing to quantum physics, and also put forward his own opinions, the most difficult to say that his name is Zhao Dana, and there is no one in Sijiucheng who does not know him, and if there is something in the future, he will talk about it......

Don't say it, Zhao Dana was stunned, and suddenly the gloomy atmosphere was gone, but the Forbidden City is too big, and some places can't go through directly, so you have to walk around, so it takes almost an hour to get to Cining Palace.

The director hurriedly instructed the crew to start work quickly, lighting the lights, checking the equipment, touching up the makeup of the main actors, and Wang Xiaohu's gang of extras helped build two simple sheds, separate men and women, and go inside to change clothes.

William Lin was puzzled and muttered that he didn't change it when he rehearsed the play. Mom went to the scene to change, and the big night was really enough. He didn't know that the costumes were actually rented, especially the costumes of the extras, a few Qing palace dramas were popular a while ago, there were too many followers, they had to queue up, and other crews had to run out before it was their turn, not to mention that there were no costumes rented in Beijing, they had to go to Hengdian, back and forth, and at this time, the director had no choice, the filming in the Forbidden City was not as good as anywhere else, 30,000 yuan an hour, and if the filming was not finished, it had to come at the specified time, and if the filming was not finished, it would get out.

Seeing the recruited extras grinding and chirping, he couldn't help but get angry and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and line up to change clothes...... Don't grind with anyone, if you want to get paid, just hurry. ”

Queue up early in the morning, when I arrived, it wasn't for the fifty yuan, seeing that the director's face was angry, no one touched the moldy head, but the two sheds were not big, and four or five people could go in at a time to change clothes, and it was ancient costumes, and the clothes were also troublesome, Wang Xiaohu and William Lin were entangled by Zhao Dana and bragged, and Zhao Dana took a moment to flash people for a long time, and when the two of them came back, they had already reached the bottom of the line.

The sky will become darker and darker, because it is early winter, the entire Bauhinia City is shrouded in a faint mist, and finally waited for the last four people to come out, the two brothers impatiently got in, and helped each other to put them on, which is also strange, just like this, the fog around the shed where the two of them wore clothes became thicker and thicker.

After wearing it for about seven or eight minutes, the two of them put on their robes, put on their boots, and dressed neatly, William Lin is a foreigner and has to hurry out to find a makeup artist to blacken his face, and he can't see the appearance, William Lin dragged Wang Xiaohu out of the shed, but there was no one outside, and outside the huge and empty Cining Palace, there were only two of them.

Wang Xiaohu was also stunned, feeling that something was wrong, and when he looked back, he was suddenly startled, not only was the person gone, but even the shed where they had just changed their clothes was gone.
