ch2: Watching Movies

When the woman in the red dress was pasted on the ceiling as a mobile power supply, the murderous mansion rolled up a desolate yin wind everywhere, Zhong Jiu Dao only roughly calculated, and then counted out a dozen yin winds, this house really did not know how many yin spirits were hidden.

When renting this house, Zhong Jiudao was going to exorcise the ghost in the house, and contacted the landlord after receiving it, and the landlord may reduce his rent fee out of gratitude, and the money saved can be used to make the crew’s funds and rent a few more decent clothes.

However, after seeing the new “use method” of the female ghost in the red dress, Zhong Jiudao felt that he did not have to kill them all, maybe he could find more ways to save money from these powerful ghosts, and he could try to shoot without exorcising.

Not to exorcise is not that Zhong Jiudao is indifferent, but since he left home, his father did not allow Zhong Jiudao to engage in the family business in order to break his dream of directing.

As for Zhong Jiudao’s family business, it is naturally the ancient, traditional and mysterious industry of The Heavenly Master.

The Zhong family is a family of Heavenly Masters, which has been passed down for thousands of years, reaching its peak hundreds of years ago, and gradually declining in the new century.

It is not only the prestige of the family that is declining, but also the mana of future generations.

As the times gradually entered the era of peace, the resentment in the world gradually dissipated, and the Heavenly Master’s mana gradually deteriorated. The strange thing is that these two are not one or the other, but the relationship between you and me, and you are weak and I am weak.

The talent of the descendants of the Zhong family is not as good as the previous generation, worrying the elders of the family, and then Zhong Jiudao was born.

He was born with amazing talent, everyone said that his peers were inferior to him, that is, in the past five hundred years, they did not have as strong a talent as Zhong Jiudao.

When Zhong Jiudao was born, his left hand was empty, but looked as if he was grasping something. The elders of the family opened their eyes to peek at his left hand and saw that the baby held an invisible pen in the palm of his hand. He was born to draw symbols with his bare hands, without the need for rune paper, cinnabar and other foreign objects.

The entire Zhong Family trembled, such a talent, Zhong Jiu Dao must be the immortal wizard who led the Zhong Family to another heyday!

The only thing that surprised Zhong’s parents was that the pen that Zhong Jiudao held in his left hand was not a brush, not even a fountain pen, but a strange pen, and it wasn’t until a few years later that the elders learned that it was called a neutral signature pen.

And when Zhong Jiudao chose the film and television school in his own way, the family elders realized that the pen may be different from what they expected.

In order to make Zhong Jiudao change his mind, the Zhong family cut off his tuition and living expenses, and the fees of the film and television school were very high, and they thought that Zhong Jiudao would not be able to persist before going home.

Who knew that Zhong Jiudao was full of mana, and he would not die of hunger anywhere, so he would just take a few jobs and earn the future tuition and living expenses, and he also saved two million, enough to eat and wear for the next ten years.

There was no way, the Zhong family had to tell Zhong Jiudao that if he wanted to pursue his dreams, he could not use the family’s traditional skills to make money, otherwise he would have to go home to inherit the family business.

Zhong Jiudao no longer took the initiative to take action since then, and when he encountered a supernatural event, he would only immediately notify the nearby Celestial Master, and no longer rely on mana to make money.

Even if he rented this murderous house, Zhong Jiudao did not think of increasing the funds for the crew by exorcising ghosts, and only hoped that the landlord could reduce the rent. If the landlord really gives money, he can’t collect it, which is the rule and the agreement with the family.

Zhong Jiudao wants to realize his dream, but also respects the family’s approach, after all, he first put down the family business, and it is natural not to use mana to make money.

However, saving money with mana should not be considered a violation of the agreement.

He roughly estimated that the female ghost in the red dress was very strong, and judging from the current power of the five thunder charms, it would take at least seven days and seven nights to completely get rid of the female ghost in the dress, which could save a lot of electricity bills. However, the duration of the five thunder charms is only six hours, and it is necessary to draw a new one every twelve hours.

It can’t only be used for lighting.

With a casual finger, Zhong Jiudao moved the female ghost in the ceiling to the main gate of the power supply of the murderous house, allowing her to provide stable and continuous electricity for the entire house.

Watching Zhong Jiudao do such a cruel thing, the body of the white cheongsam woman trembled slightly, tightening her body, reducing her sense of existence as much as possible, only hoping that the cruel and pathless Heavenly Master in front of her could give herself a hard time, instead of asking for a soul to fly away like a dressed woman.

Zhong Jiu went up to the second floor, casually opened the door of a bedroom, and saw that it was covered with dust, not at all as neat as the garden and the hall.

These ghosts can’t do things, they are all surface engineering. Zhong Jiudao frowned slightly, and asked the white cheongsam downstairs: “Who cleaned the garden and hall?”

The woman in the white cheongsam was frightened and her shoulders twitched a few times, and only then did she reply: “The leaves in the garden are cleaned by the long-term worker Lao Ding, and the flowers are planted by the third aunt, this hall… It was Aunt Yang who cleaned it up.”

“Let Aunt Yang clean up a few more bedrooms.” Zhong Jiudao did not ask who the third aunt was, and directly ordered.

As soon as the words fell, a dark wind blew through, and the dust cobwebs in the bedroom were blown out of the window by this wind, mixed into the mud, and the interior instantly became clean, cleaner than a five-star hotel.

Aunt Yang did not show her face, but proved herself well-behaved, sensible and harmless.

Zhong Jiudao nodded to the place where the wind was swirling and said politely, “Thank you.”

He carried the suitcase into the room, placed the expensive video camera on the table, and hung the clothes in the closet one by one.

Zhong Jiudao was ready to spend a whole night cleaning up the mansion, but at this moment, with the help of the “original residents” of the “hospitable” in the murderous mansion, he had nothing to do at night.

After lying on the bed for a while, Zhong Jiudao felt slightly bored, and he was a little nervous about the upcoming film. He was a skilled exorcist, living in a murderous mansion without the slightest fear, and even somewhat comfortable. Shooting such a complete film is the first time, no experience, and his heart is very nervous.

After thinking about what he was going to do in the next period of time and making sure that there was no mistake, Zhong Jiudao pulled out a file box from the box, which contained the script and materials he had prepared for the film, as well as some CDs of the classic films he used to observe and study.

Now with film and television apps, TV projection technology popularization, few people watch the DISC, Zhong Jiudao collected these discs from school that year, and brought them to the murderous house, because when renting a house before, the house introduction mentioned that there is a home theater in this villa.

People who can buy such a big house are naturally not short of money, and the family has all kinds of facilities, but unfortunately it has not been used, and it is scared away by the “natives” in the murderous house.

Zhong Jiudao selected a few discs, and then took out a thick notepad, planning to watch the classic film again and learn more about the master’s skills and expressions.

He walked out of the door and saw that the doors of the rooms on the second floor were all open, and every room was clean, and it was obvious that Aunt Yang was doing her best.

The white cheongsam was still curled up under the stairs on the first floor, waiting for Zhong Jiudao’s orders.

Zhong Jiudao looked at the clean room, thinking that there was no merit and hard work, so he said, “As long as you do your best and don’t come out to harm people, it is not that we cannot live in peace.” ”

The white cheongsam raised his head, her face full of joy, and performed a bowed knee salute to Zhong Jiudao: “Concubines thank the Heavenly Master for not killing.”

After saying that, he was going to kneel, and Zhong Jiudao, as a new young man in the new era who dared to break through the tradition and pursue his dreams, naturally could not see such a style, and said at the moment: “I don’t have that feudal preference, you go down.”

The white cheongsam was only then pardoned, and she was busy holding the candle and disappearing at the last step of the stairs.

Aunt Yang’s hands are yin and sharp, and in the blink of an eye, the whole house has been cleaned, Zhong Jiudao came to the third floor cinema hall, saw that the equipment was intact, plugged in the power supply, and chose a video to play.

This is a classic spiritual film, there are many places worth learning from Zhong Jiudao, he carefully checked the notes he had made before while watching, found new details and added a sense, and soon the words on the notepad became dense.

When writing notes, Zhong Jiudao will press the pause button on the remote control and play it again after writing. For this kind of movie that has been watched dozens of times and the plot can already be reversed, Zhong Jiudao’s emphasis is not on the viewing experience, but on the details that are worth learning.

When he pressed the pause button dozens of times, an anxious voice came from the corner of the auditorium: “Pause again! For two whole hours, I only watched half an hour of the film, and I was dying!”

Zhong Jiudao put down his pen and tilted his head slightly, only to find that he was not the only one in the auditorium.

Countless heads protruded from the walls, on the ceiling, under the floor, and in the back of the chair, and a dozen ghosts watched movies with him without blinking.

Zhong Jiu said, “…”

He was too focused when he studied, and these powerful ghosts did not release their murderous intentions and malice, but just carefully crouched in the movie hall, and he did not care for a moment that there were so many “audiences” around him.

The ghosts also hid their breath and quietly came to observe Zhong Jiudao, an uninvited guest, who was attracted to the movie halfway and could not extricate himself. Unexpectedly, Zhong Jiudao pressed the pause again and again, pressed the pause again and again, and the most frustrating one was that he pressed the pause three times in one second, so that these “audiences” finally couldn’t help but make a sound, so that Zhong Jiudao discovered their existence.

A dozen ghosts are speechless, and I don’t know who is more afraid.

The ghosts in the murderous mansion are all ghosts of the old society, and most of the dozen ghosts are wearing robes and short shirts, only this ghost who is impatient to make a sound is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his hair is coated with hair oil, and his back is neatly combed. It’s very young and looks like it’s in its early 20s.

Seeing Zhong Jiudao’s gaze fall on himself, the suit ghost smiled awkwardly, hid half of his body in the table, only exposed his head, and begged Zhong Jiudao for forgiveness: “Heavenly Master forgives sins, it is really the film played by Tianshi is too good, I can see it, and I forget my form for a while… I promise not to disturb the Celestial Master with my voice next, can the Celestial Master let the little one follow you through the movie? ”

More than a dozen ghosts trembled with fear, but they still insisted on staying in the movie hall, expecting Zhong Jiudao to press the play button and continue to watch movies.

Do they also love to watch movies? Zhong Jiudao had not understood the ghost before, and he was a little curious in his heart, so he replayed the film, this time he did not pause to take notes, but let the film finish smoothly.

After the ending song sounded, the suit ghost couldn’t help but sigh: “It’s really beautiful, but the ending is a little miserable.”

“Where is the misery?” Zhong Jiudao asked.

This is a movie with a fairly good ending, how can it be miserable in the eyes of the suit ghost?

Suit ghost: “The protagonist calls the wind and rain in the early stage, there are countless beautiful women under his command, and there are so many living people to inhale, which is simply the life I yearn for. Unfortunately, the villain in the ending is despicable, sealing the protagonist, it is really tears for those who see it, and those who hear it are sad. However, the first 80 minutes are all good, and the film cannot be completely denied because of the ending.”

An hour and a half of the movie, the first 80 minutes of the protagonist was pressed by the ghost to beat, the last 10 minutes to find the way to seal the ghost, escape the day, should be the front of the horror, the climax is repeated, the end is logical, in one go, to the suit ghost here, completely reversed.

“That is,” echoed another middle-aged ghost in a suit, “the only thing that a villain can do is that the skin is good, if the protagonist can take it.”

The white qipao also appeared in the ghosts watching the film, and quietly interjected: “The villain is indeed a handsome offspring, but unfortunately he is a person with a negative heart, who deceives the feelings of the protagonist’s women, let the woman help him kill the protagonist, and finally does not accompany the woman to martyrdom, but lets the mage exorcise the woman, not only thin feelings, but also cruel to the extreme, betraying the woman’s affection!” ”

Zhong Jiu said, “…”

More than a dozen ghosts expressed their dissatisfaction with the ending of the film, making Zhong Jiudao wonder if he and they were watching the same movie.
