He walked over to the mirror in the corner of the room and looked at the black-and-white photographs hanging on the wall.

Li Yaohui followed closely and continued to shoot, framing the photo, Xu Hengzhou, and Xu Hengzhou in the mirror in his lens.

Xu Hengzhou glanced at the large photographs that covered the entire frame.

This is his dad.

Take another look at the small photo in the bottom right corner of the frame.

This is his brother.

Suddenly spoke: "My brother was arrested as a hooligan by the police station in 86. My dad hung him from a tree and beat him. "—and then beat him alive.

Xu Hengzhou's words stopped here.

The picture under Li Yaohui's lens also stays here.

According to the setting on the script, the next scene will be tomorrow morning.

But the director still didn't call the card.

Xu Hengzhou: ......

He had an ominous premonition.

Director Han Jie ignored Xu Hengzhou, who was standing in place, and instead said to the surrounding staff: "It's work, it's work, everyone hurry up and eat." ”

Finally!

The staff dispersed in a hurry to grab the boxed lunch.

Director Han Jie said to Xiao Liu, who had walked a few steps forward: "Xiao Liu, you also make a meal for Xu Hengzhou, pour it all into a sea bowl, and then send it to Xu Hengzhou in the camera later, you can't send it directly, you just want to play a reliable role, and then send it over." ”

Xiao Liu was silent.

Xiao Liu was thinking.

Xiao Liu really wants to know how to think of a reliable character.

But she really can't raise any objections, after all, she's just a small assistant director.

I had to say what the director said.

Xu Hengzhou began to be in a daze again.

He stared at himself in the mirror, and the more he looked at it, the more strange it felt.

The more I look at it, the more I feel that I am not myself anymore.

I felt that the scene was about to go in a strange direction, and a cold voice that was not familiar, but it was quite unforgettable after hearing it, came: "Your eldest brother asked me to bring you food, thank you for the money you gave him." ”

Xu Hengzhou: ???

Piggyback.

It's still burning money.

He turned around quietly, took the sea bowl from Xiao Liu's hand, looked at the steaming and fragrant food inside, and thanked him sincerely: "Sister-in-law, thank you brother for me." ”

Although the eldest brother of the tree died early.

He also doesn't have a sister-in-law.

Xiao Liu was relieved to see that Xu Hengzhou had picked up this scene, and the next action was much smoother.

She handed Xu Hengzhou another book manuscript: "Your brother gave it to you, let you learn some culture." He thinks about you and wants you to have a good time. ”

The corners of Xu Hengzhou's mouth twitched slightly, he took the manuscript and flipped through it casually, and sure enough, it was the script he expected.

Xiao Liu completed the two tasks assigned to him by the director, and quickly turned around to appear on camera.

Obviously, I wasn't nervous at all when I was acting before, why is it that I am a little bit of the same hand and foot in the mirror now?

It's weird!

Xu Hengzhou wanted to laugh when he saw Xiao Liu's back with a sense of desertion and running away no matter how he looked at it.

But the good professionalism he developed during this time still made him hold back his laughter and keep him silent.

He went to the house to find a pair of chopsticks, swept the dust on the threshold with a feather duster, sat directly on it, and picked up rice in the direction of the courtyard.

Hey, it's so fragrant!

When he had finished eating, he washed the dishes again.

Then continue to stand in the yard in a daze.

Xu Hengzhou actually realized what the director wanted him to do at this time.

He thought of the next scene in the script, opened the script that Xiao Liu gave him, and confirmed it again.

I have points in my heart.

Xu Hengzhou looked up at the sky and sighed faintly.

Walk out of the courtyard.

He doesn't sleep tonight!

Xu Hengzhou doesn't sleep, and the crew won't stay up with him.

Director Han Jie didn't continue to call them to work overtime at night after asking the staff to get off work and eat, and directly asked them to go back to their respective rooms to sleep.

Jia Zhangke had an urgent matter to leave as early as the moment Xu Hengzhou got on Xiaozhuang's motorcycle and left.

So Director Han Jie is now the most authoritative person in the entire crew.

That's what he says.

Li Yaohui didn't plan to follow Xu Hengzhou to shoot at night, he planned to go to bed early tonight and recharge his energy to prepare for the scene tomorrow morning.

Director Han Jie himself didn't plan to stay here, but he left Xiao Liu behind:

"You are here looking at the camera, staring at Xu Hengzhou, if he wants to wander around at night, you will accompany him for a while.

This little VCR is for you, and you can take any interesting shots when you find them. ”

Xiao Liu was caught off guard and took the video recorder handed to him by Director Han Jie, and heard him say again:

"But don't wander outside too late, if Xu Hengzhou doesn't go to sleep, you let him stay in front of the camera and continue to be in a daze.

Then you can also rest early.

As for the footage you took, I'll save them all first, and I'll show you when I'm free. ”

"Good!" Xiao Liu clenched the slightly cool video recorder in his hand, but his heart seemed to be burning a fire.

Xu Hengzhou ate and drank to his heart's content, walked in the evening breeze, and was comfortable.

But at the bottom of my heart, I was unusually depressed.

This is not his own psychology.

It's the mental state of the tree.

He's hallucinating today.

Saw a fire.

I also saw the one next to the fire, I don't know if it was my father or my brother.

He inevitably remembered that winter again.

His brother was beaten by his father by hanging from a tree, and then he was killed.

And he stood not far from the tree and watched.

It's hard to calm down, and you can't let go.

Xiao Liu stared at Xu Hengzhou, who was exuding depression in front of him.

But she couldn't find the picture she wanted to shoot.

She was so focused that she didn't see the bulging slab beneath her feet, and in an instant she tripped and fell forward.

At the same time that Xu Hengzhou heard the exclamation behind him, he heard a terrible chirp coming from the direction of his right.

In an instant, a spirit froze.

Xiao Liu fell to the ground and hissed, but he didn't have time to feel the pain, he quickly got up, approached Xu Hengzhou a little, and looked nervously in the direction where the chirp came.

I have been in Xiaqiu for many days, and I don't know anything else, but I have heard a lot of strange stories about demons and ghosts.

This dark sky is blind, and it is such a miserable cry......

Xiao Liu took two more steps towards Xu Hengzhou.

Xu Hengzhou didn't talk to her when he felt that Xiao Liu was fine, and walked in the direction of the terrible scream just now.

Xiao Liu's thin lips opened slightly, closed them again, pursed them, and silently followed behind Xu Hengzhou, looking for the source of the sound together.

The same terrible screams were heard every minute or two.

By the time of the fourth time.

Xu Hengzhou saw it.

It was a rebellious eagle that was firmly tied to a shelf by chains.

The center of the eye is dark and dull.

The outer ring is glowing with a layer of pale gold.

Staring straight ahead.

Xiao Liu was very surprised when he saw this eagle, but the inexplicable nervousness in his heart was dispersed.

She turned her gaze and saw Xu Hengzhou's eyes and eagle's eyes match.

With a heartbeat, I turned on the video recorder.
