Chapter 168: [The Man in the Mountains]

As a crew.

Many of the people present had a little understanding of a person's behavior and habits.

Whether it is actors like Chang Zhengwei and Zhang Yuming, or staff such as Ajie and Wei Kang.

When Lu Zhengyi opened his mouth to say the word 'temptation', they understood what the flight attendant's reaction was just now.

Indeed, if the premise is to be tempted, except for Lu Zhengyi just now, each of them reacted very suspiciously.

It was as if a group of people were going to a haunted house, and when one of them found a supernatural clue and summoned the big guy in the main house to say, 'I found out that there was actually a ghost mixed in among us,' the others suddenly laughed and looked at him expectantly.

The flight attendant was probably already frightened.

It's just a guess, it's just a casual temptation, it's completely impossible.

But the reaction of their entire crew was pretty much to tell her, yes, that's the way it is.

"She seemed to have just backed away."

"yes, and bowed his head."

"Think about it carefully, if you really have yin and yang eyes, you won't be scared to retreat."

"Unless you will be scared the day after tomorrow, like Ning Ning, even if you really see a ghost, you won't react very much."

"Well, if you are born with yin and yang eyes, it should be said that these things are commonplace from childhood to adulthood, even if you don't know how to deal with them, but you can't say you're afraid."

They reminisced about the situation.

However, as we entered the airport, the flow of people slowly increased, and it began to decrease.

Everything has happened, and there is no way to undo it.

You can't just explain to people that 'things aren't what you think they are', 'we're just joking', 'there's no ghosts at all'...... and so on, otherwise it is somewhat trying to cover up.

The group left the airport as if nothing had happened.

But in fact, they don't particularly care about it.

As Lu Zhengyi once said, there are some things that are useless without evidence.

And even if there is evidence, if it is released, most of it will be covered up.

The head of the mountain view will have such a right to speak.

The plane departed in the morning, and it was already noon when it arrived in Jicheng.

After everyone hurriedly had a meal outside, they rushed to Zhang Yu's house with gifts.

After all, they are quite busy now, not only to take care of a sick number, but also to have a son who is in high school.

It is not appropriate for such a large group of people to make a fuss and go to someone's house to eat.

Visiting the sick is not a happy event.

"Oh, Master Yong, I haven't seen you for a long time."

After Lu Zhengyi rang the doorbell, the first person to open the door was not Lao Zhang's wife, but Lao Zhang himself.

He was dressed in a pajamas, and his hair was neatly combed, not too thick, black and white.

At this meeting, he looked at Lu Zhengyi happily and nodded, and then hurriedly greeted Xiao Zhongyong.

"Meow."

Xiao Zhongyong lay on Lu Zhengyi's shoulder and screamed at the right time.

Standing behind Zhang Yu, his wife looked a little surprised, for this cat is so spiritual.

"Hurry, hurry."

Then, Lao Zhang motioned for them to hurry into the house, and several rows of slippers were neatly placed in the entrance.

"I'm recovering well."

Lu Zhengyi entered the house and asked while changing his slippers.

"Much better, already."

Lao Zhang stood in front of him, from walking to sitting down in the living room, his movements seemed slow and soft.

After everyone entered the house, Lao Zhang's wife entered the kitchen and said that the fruit had not been cut yet.

As for the others, they sat down in the living room one by one.

Anyway, he has been mixed in this circle for decades, and Lao Zhang's family is still relatively wealthy.

Although the house is not a luxury villa, it is also a relatively famous garden in Yoshijo, and the area is also very wide.

A living room, with so many people in the crew sitting down and chatting, will not seem crowded.

"I really didn't expect that your entire crew would come over, which will affect your rest too much."

Lao Zhang sat on a solid wooden bench, and while building tea for everyone, he said, "This filming is also quite tiring, and I have to rest after the finale." โ€

"And Director Lu, after you finish filming, you can't do post-production."

"Actually, it's good for us to have an online video chat, you guys come all the way by plane, really...... I was really impressed. โ€

Although he has been persuading them to go online, there is no need to really come in person.

But the tone was still happy.

Compared with the sick and weak man Lu Zhengyi saw on the hospital bed before the shooting.

Now Zhang Yu is recovering well, even compared to before he was sick, he seems to be a lot fatter, and his complexion is much better.

It can be seen that he is indeed recuperating during this time.

"Don't persuade us to rest yet, you are a person who has just recovered from a serious illness, and you need to rest." Lu Zhengyi sat next to him, waved his hand, "There are so many people now, you can't make enough tea, Lao Zhang." โ€

"Otherwise, let's keep it simple. Sister-in-law, is there any kind of bagged black tea at home? โ€

"This crew can make a cup of black tea to quench their thirst and greasy."

He shouted in the direction of the kitchen.

"Yes, yes, yes."

And Mrs. Zhang poked her head out of the kitchen, nodded quickly, and planned to get it.

"Wait, what kind of hospitality is drinking bagged black tea."

But Zhang Yu stopped her, a little dissatisfied, "Bring a glass pot over, I'll put the tea directly in it." โ€

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Zhengyi, "I'm like this, a pot of water can make twenty cups, it's okay." โ€

"I've been away all year round, and I haven't tasted the good tea I bought at home, more than a dozen barrels, don't waste it."

"Our crew came to see me, they can afford me, remember me, how can I let you drink black tea."

Mrs. Zhang listened to it and thought it was okay, so she hurriedly went to wash a large glass pot and came over.

After taking it, she said to hurry up and finish cutting the fruit.

Zhang Yu had some helplessness on his face and said:

"You're too late to inform you of this."

"We said we were coming over when we got on the plane, and we were in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare."

"There's still some fruit at home, and the hospitality is not good, everyone."

"It's okay, it just means, and you have a good tea, how many of us can taste it here?" Lu Zhengyi smiled and shook his head, "Teacher Chang may be a little, Wei Kang is from Shancheng, and they often drink tea in their hometown over there, so it may be okay." โ€

"Then how can other people taste it, compared to these good teas, it is better to order a few cups of milk tea and coffee."

"yes, young people like to drink this."

Obviously, he was only a young man of twenty-five or sixteen, and except for a few people present, everyone else was basically older than Lu Zhengyi.

But when he called him 'young man', no one thought there was anything wrong.

It's as if Director Lu's age and seniority should be older than them.

"Deputy Director Zhang has a little heart, Director Lu, don't persuade you."

Yu Li smiled and talked, but soon, she stood up again, "I'll go and help my sister-in-law cut fruit." โ€

"I'll go too."

Xiaowei also stood up.

Several women in the crew got up and walked to the kitchen, after all, the fruit that was enough for so many people was not a small amount.

"Hey, seeing this little girl come back to the crew to film, I really miss it a little."

Zhang Yu watched Yu Li and the others go to the kitchen, with a smile on his face, "If you think about it like this, it's only a year, right?" โ€

"In a year, I always feel that a long time has passed, and I have seen a lot of things that I have never seen before."

"It's a pity that I'm absent from this film."

has changed from the greasy past, and he is now a little bit like an old man after retirement.

In particular, the full head of white hair and the wrinkles on his face made him show a little 'kindness'. โ€™

"The contract was given to him, right?"

He asked quietly.

"Given, given."

Lu Zhengyi hurriedly replied, "How can you not give it, the first heroine under our hands." โ€

"yes, where it all began."

Zhang Yu sighed with emotion.

He didn't like to feel the past so much before, it seems that this serious illness is really changing from the inside out.

But soon, Zhang Yu's eyes fell on the bench next to him, the vacant seat.

"Why don't you introduce Mr. Wang first?"

His tone was a little curious.

Although Zhang Yu did not participate in the filming of the First Commandment, he is still very clear about the things in the crew.

After all, in the WeChat group, other people will chat from time to time.

He also understands Wang Xiaoxu's joining.

There is also the fact that the plum civet cat crew plans to expand, and he also knows that there is also an exchange group that represents one side.

"It's not going to have to be a little bit."

Lu Zhengyi was a little helpless, "Little Brother Wang, can you introduce yourself?" โ€

Anyway, now Zhang Yu's wife is following Yu Li and them to cut fruit in the kitchen, and it doesn't matter if they make a show here.

"Hello, Deputy Director Zhang, I'm Wang Xiaoxu."

Wang Xiaoxu showed his figure, a young man.

"Actually, we talked about it in the group, but because my level is not enough, Brother Feng helped me type the words."

He continued.

"Yes, yes, yes, we've talked about it."

Zhang Yu nodded, "I've seen all your videos of Chu Renmei." โ€

"After reading it, it can give me a taste of it."

"I really had the feeling that I just knew about the existence of Teacher Liang at the beginning, that one spirit, I was still lying on the bed, and I was so scared that I sat up."

Wang Xiaoxu was stunned, "Ah......"

He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm not trying to scare you. โ€

"It's not because of me, and it has any effect on your body, right?"

It's honest enough.

Zhang Yu looked at Wang Xiaoxu's apology, thought of Lu Zhengyi's evaluation of him, quickly waved his hand, and replied:

"I'm just joking, that is, your ability is good, and it matches our crew very well."

"We are all people who have filmed so many works with Director Lu, and an illusion still can't scare me for the time being."

"Don't worry, it didn't affect my physical recovery."

Zhang Yuming also laughed next to him, "Indeed, this real ghost has been seen, what is there to be afraid of fake ghosts." โ€

"But speaking of which, Deputy Director Zhang, have you done any other exercises during this time besides recuperation?"

Chang Zhengwei was more serious, and asked with concern, "Can you get out of bed, can move, or be more active, and occasionally go out to bask in the sun, as long as it is not strenuous ...... Appropriate activities are still necessary. โ€

"Of course, I've recently started to learn to play some five-bird operas and things like that, as well as meditate."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yu became interested.

"But when we took the double pupils, didn't we know a lot of health actions in the mountains, and we didn't have time to do it before, no, we should be too lazy to do it."

"After this period of free time, I began to really do the same homework as the Taoist masters on the mountain."

"Of course, I didn't do those stakes and the like, and my body doesn't allow it for the time being."

Applejack also hurriedly spoke, "Meditate?" I've been trying it recently, but I'm always distracted. โ€

"I'm fine, calm down."

Chang Zhengwei also followed the topic, "In fact, if you listen to the rhythm of breathing, it is still easy to calm down." โ€

"Really?"

Zhang Yuming was a little surprised, "It's useless, I've been thinking about listening to the rhythm of breathing, but when I listen to it, I start to think about it." โ€

"I still have to practice."

Zhang Yu smiled.

All of a sudden, the living room changed from a visiting bureau to a practice bureau.

They each talked about how effective they were meditating and standing during their time.

This is another difference between them and normal people.

Others do this, that is, for the purpose of maintaining health and prolonging life.

But when they practice, they really know that there is such a thing as practice.

Listen to what the Taoist leaders in the Taoist temple say, and learn from those Taoist masters to do their homework.

As the only person present who could be regarded as having truly experienced cultivation, Lu Zhengyi was silent and listened to their respective sharing.

Xiaowei: [(Picture) Deputy Director Zhang's house. ใ€‘

Xiaowei: [We're cutting fruit. ใ€‘

Yu Wenxiu: [Say hello to Deputy Director Zhang for me, sorry, sorry, I'm still in the group here, and there is no way to be there.] ใ€‘

Li Zhenxi: [Me too, Ning Ning hasn't finished school yet, so I'll apologize to you for her. ใ€‘

Zhang Yu: [No, young man, it's better to be busy. ใ€‘

Zhang Yu: [@ๆŽ็ๅ–œๅฎๅฎๅฐ†ๆฅๆ‰“็ฎ—่€ƒไป€ไนˆๅˆไธญๅ•Š? ใ€‘

Zhang Yu: [And Mr. Yu, do you have a lot of locations in your new play? ใ€‘

Yu Wenxiu: [Yes, one...... Martial arts films, I'm still filming in the deep mountains and old forests, and the director of this new crew is quite responsible. ใ€‘

Offline, here are talking about the changes in their respective bodies after 'cultivation'.

From time to time, they also took some photos and sent them to the WeChat group, so that the other people in the crew who didn't have time to participate also felt a little involved.

Even Zhang Yu was concerned about Liu Baoning's study and Yu Wenxiu's new play.

The atmosphere is still quite relaxed, similar to the rest on the set during filming.

Everyone is an acquaintance.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

In comparison, Yu Wenxiu's side is more difficult.

In the mountains and forests on the edge of the eastern city, a group of people are marching towards the filming location.

As a veteran actor who has been trained in the entertainment industry and has been working for more than ten years, although Yu Wenxiu took on a new play, he temporarily left Lu Zhengyi's crew.

But her goals and ideas are more mature than Yu Li.

She doesn't care what web dramas, TV series, or movies are.

But in terms of the script and production team, she has requirements.

But there are requirements, which means hard work when shooting.

A good film is not always so easy to make.

For example, now, the group plans to go to a village in the mountains and forests on the edge of Dongcheng to shoot with the real scene over there.

The sense of atmosphere brought about by the substantive architecture is not something that post-processing can compensate.

Of course, most live-action shots are actually cheaper than special effects.

Therefore, the crew that Yu Wenxiu is waiting for now is actually not particularly famous, and they can have a lot of sponsorship and investment.

"Hurry up, it's getting dark."

"Director, what about so much equipment, it's tiring to carry, right?"

"Is it really necessary to come all the way to borrow this scene, even if there is no money to burn special effects, wouldn't it be good for us to find someone to build one now?"

The roads in the mountains and forests are not easy to walk, and there is no means of transportation.

A group of people in the crew complained and complained.

However, some people only dare to whisper, and only those who have confidence dare to talk loudly, not afraid that the directors and executive directors in the crew will hear it.

Yu Wenxiu didn't follow them to discuss and walked silently.

It's not the first time she has gone deep into the mountains and forests to film like this.

In fact, it is of course good to hire someone to set up a set, but live-action shooting is easier for actors to get into the scene.

However, she didn't open her mouth to explain to the others, and in front, the director also walked silently without saying a word.

Come to think of it, it is not easy for him to assemble this crew, and if there is a dispute here and the filming is stopped, the loss will be great.

Not every crew can be like the plum civet crew, the director said a word, and others hurried to follow, and even checked and filled in the gaps.

"Wait, why is it getting darker?"

"Is it getting dark so fast on this side of Dongcheng?"

"It's only four o'clock, and it's only the middle of October."

"It can't be a solar eclipse, right?"

"It didn't say anything in the news!"

But soon, the rest of the crew felt that something was wrong.

As they go deeper into the forest, their visibility becomes lower and darker.

Until finally, they even had flashlights!

It's past four o'clock in the afternoon!

"Fellow, is this normal?"

Ahead, the director finally spoke and asked for the guidance from the village.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

The dark-skinned, bearded fellow didn't speak, and after he stopped, his eyes stared at the road ahead, and his ears moved from time to time, as if he was listening to something.

"Fellow?"

Seeing that the team behind him was getting more and more chaotic, the director hurriedly asked.

And Yu Wenxiu also walked out of several actors and walked forward.

She also sensed that something was wrong.

But compared to others, she is also well-informed and not so afraid.

"Shh......h Let them all be quiet! โ€

Suddenly, the fellow scolded in a low voice, "It seems that a voice is coming, something is wrong, it is indeed wrong!" โ€

"Be quiet!"

"Be quiet!"

Hurry, the director whispered backwards.

I didn't dare to completely let go of my voice and shouted, and my voice was a little hoarse.

"What's the situation?"

"Be quiet!"

"Okay, okay!"

The dozens of people in the crew all stopped, quieted down one by one, and stopped speaking loudly.

But they were all like Yu Wenxiu, and they surrounded the front.

"The old man in our village said that there are spirits in the mountains!"

The old man stared at the distance with a frightened look, although it was pitch black, he couldn't see what was over there.

But now, almost everyone can be sure that something is coming over there.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ What a spirit. โ€

The expression on the middle-aged director's face was a little stiff, "Fellow, what you said is unscientific." โ€

"Science?"

The old man looked dissatisfied and glanced at him, "There is a big snake in the mountain, which has been around since my grandfather's generation, and the babies in our village have all grown up listening to its stories." โ€

"That big snake, I saw it with my own eyes when I was young."

"Maybe it's still there, a big snake that has lived for hundreds of years, and you tell me about science?"

When these few words were spoken, the middle-aged director stopped talking.

Originally, there were fewer voices in the crew who were still whispering.

If this is in the city, listening to the old man say this, they will just listen to it for fun.

But now, people are in the mountains, and the sky is not visible, and the atmosphere is completely different.

"So what do we do now?"

The middle-aged director hurriedly asked, "Just standing here?" โ€

The others whispered too.

"Let's run, I hear the voice too."

"Like...... Like music? โ€

"It's like the sound of a flute."

"It's getting closer."

Although there were dozens of people, under the influence of the sudden darkness on this day, the large number of people did not bring courage, but the panic spread faster.

They listened attentively one by one, and the voices that only the old man noticed were now able to be heard.
