Zong Jiu was speechless.
Good heavens.
He finally understood why the assistant had stared at him like that when he had delivered the script to him. It turned out that he had been waiting for this moment.
The script of "Fright Night at the Castle" was very boring and unoriginal.
The story was about five paranormal enthusiasts who went to explore a deserted castle. In the end, some unusual paranormal events happened. In the end, the other four people all died tragically, leaving only the male lead to escape with his life.
Now that he thought about it, there were indeed many horror movies that emphasized erotic scenes. It seemed to have become an unspoken rule, and "Fright Night at the Castle" was no exception.
For example, in the script that Zong Jiu was holding, he was assigned to a small supporting role, and he lived the longest among the supporting roles. But at the same time, he also became the main character of the movie.
The first scene was normal, following the most basic plot of the movie. But the second exploration scene started to feel strange. Then came the third scene, where he had a passionate scene with one of the supporting male leads in the bathroom. The last scene was when he had intercourse with the scariest ghost in the castle, and then his vitality was sucked dry.
Zong Jiu was speechless again. This guy knew how to play.
He finally understood why there was no female lead in the movie. Even the ghost was gay!
As expected of a boy group talent show version of a thriller trainee competition, even the logic of a punishment instance dungeon was so meticulous. It was not very harmful, but it was very insulting.
The main system's move was precisely aimed at the straight man's weak point, making him climb Kongtong Mountain overnight.
After reading the short script, Zong Jiu could no longer sit still. He opened the door and jumped out of the minivan.
Seeing the door slide open, he was surrounded by a large number of passionate gazes. Some stared at him blatantly, while others quietly sized him up. The white-haired magician seemed to have become a mass of light for no reason, attracting all the light and gazes.
The sub-system was right. Perhaps it was because of the evil god's curse, but these gazes were not very friendly. It was filled with an incomparably heavy and dark desire.
But even though he was unfriendly, Zong Jiu was still wary of the resentment coming from Best Actor Ye.
Even though it looked like they were filming a horror movie in this abandoned castle, Zong Jiu did not forget that this was a real horror dungeon. Since the main mission stated that they had to survive until the end of the movie, it was definitely not a simple movie.
According to the rules of punishment instance dungeons, the movie would most likely become real.
Zong Jiu ignored everyone's stares and walked to the shed of the castle.
He was tall and slender. Even the simplest clothes could outline his thin but beautiful slender figure. Coupled with the sunglasses that covered most of his face and that lazy look, he really looked more like a movie king than the movie king on the set.
Seeing him come over, everyone in the shed abruptly stopped all the work they were doing, including those who were having a good time just now. They all turned their heads in unison as they held a clipboard, pen, and paper, and wrote something that no one knew what they were doing.
No one spoke, but there was no doubt that their eyes followed the white-haired youth as he walked. It looked extremely strange.
Best Actor Ye, who was standing to the side with a smile on his face, suddenly spoke.
"How about this, Teacher Yue. Why don't you make some changes to the third scene?"
The scriptwriter who was suddenly called out by him was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly responded. He reluctantly retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and quickly flipped through the script that was marked with countless marks and circles. He respectfully asked, "Ye-ge, how would you like to change it?"
There was nothing special about the third scene. It was mainly about the male lead escaping from the evil spirit and putting on a wonderful solo performance in the hallway.
Apart from that, the most interesting part was the scene where Zong Jiu played a small supporting role in the bathroom and had a passionate scene with another supporting male character. The script's use of words was intense, explicit, and erotic. It just wanted to attract attention.
In this day and age, screenwriters were at the bottom of the hierarchy in the production team. People like Best Actor Ye usually brought their own screenwriters with them. If they encountered any scenes that they were not satisfied with, they would directly make changes on the spot. Now that this great Buddha had finally been invited, if anything went wrong, he would not be able to take responsibility. Naturally, it was up to the Best Actor to change it however he wanted.
"Change the subject of the passionate scene in this scene."
Best Actor Ye curved his eyebrows. Even though he was smiling, it made Zong Jiu feel extremely uncomfortable. "Change it to the male lead."
When he said this, there was a dead silence.
Many people were surprised and jealous at the same time. The male supporting role who was lucky enough to have a passionate scene with Zong Jiu had a dark expression. He looked at the Best Actor with an unfriendly gaze.
At this moment, the screenwriter stepped forward to smooth things over. "Brother Ye, you're really kind. It's most likely this child's first time acting in a movie and can't get the feeling. With you guiding him into the role, this scene will probably pass quickly."
Best Actor Ye nodded and did not say anything. Instead, he lowered his head and played with the fringe that he had just done.
The assistant beside him immediately stepped forward. "Brother Ye doesn't have much time left. There's still another main movie waiting to start filming. Everyone, please work hard tonight. We'll take advantage of tonight to film all the scenes with the main lead in one take. The supporting roles will have to be reshot later. "
As the assistant spoke, he held a large bag in his hand and gave out red packets to everyone. "Come, this is a small token from Brother Ye. Please don't stand on ceremony."
Although the content of his words was not polite at all, his actions were sincere.
At least the red packets were very valuable.
Zong Jiu weighed the thickness of the red packet and was about to speak when he saw the director raise the script in his hand.
"Alright, alright. Brother Ye has already spoken. Everyone, get back to your positions and go do whatever you need to do. Next, we'll prepare for the first and second scenes and try to get it done in one take. Don't waste any more time."
Fatty yelled and everyone in the film crew got to work.
Just a moment ago, the filming equipment and recording equipment were almost set up. Now they just needed to wait for the final adjustments.
Coincidentally, the sky had turned dark purple and it looked like night was about to fall.
It was obviously unrealistic to finish filming an entire movie in one night. From the looks of it, the director seemed to want to focus on filming Best Actor Ye's scenes tonight. In other words, the thin 10-page script from earlier.
Zong Jiu was about to turn around when he saw Best Actor Ye, who was surrounded by everyone, nod at him.
"You're a newcomer. Why don't you come to my dressing room and I'll explain the scene to you?"
Oh, here it comes.
If both parties were normal and this was a normal film set, although it would be strange for an actor to explain the scene to another actor, it could still be considered a senior promoting a junior.
But the situation in front of him was obviously abnormal. Not only was it abnormal, but Zong Jiu was also cursed with a human-shaped aphrodisiac. And Best Actor Ye had been in the industry for many years and was well versed in this field. He didn't look like someone easy to deal with.
So this scene was particularly abrupt.
At the very least, the staff members who heard this sentence all showed a tacit understanding.
There had been rumors from a long time ago that Best Actor Ye was gay in private. Because he had a strong backing, his debut had been smooth sailing.
However, it was said that his standards were very high. The last celebrity who had a scandal with him had already become a B-list celebrity and was banned from the industry. Since then, no one dared to have any ideas about him.
It was rare for him to take a liking to someone. He casually gave that person a supporting role with just a few words and even personally explained the scene. Although the others were jealous, they were still a little envious.
If they were to follow Best Actor Ye, resources would be sent to their doorstep in the future.
However, Zong Jiu just waved his hand coldly. "No need."
After the white-haired youth said that, he turned around and walked into the dressing room for the extras, leaving the people behind looking at each other.
The others did not react. Instead, Best Actor Ye stood in place and waved his hand good-naturedly. "Let's disperse. Hurry up and prepare for the first scene."
Seeing that the biggest boss did not show any signs of anger, the others naturally did not say anything. One by one, they retracted their infatuated gazes and returned to their positions.
But, did they really not care?
A huge spotlight was turned on outside the venue, directly facing the entrance of the castle.
The staff sitting on the high stools were working hard to adjust the intensity of the lights.
One of the spotlights seemed to have malfunctioned and suddenly emitted an unknown dark red color.
As the lighting staff roared, the dark red color fell to the ground and illuminated Best Actor Ye's slightly tilted face.
The fat director suddenly looked up and saw a ferocious and terrifying ghost shadow behind the face.
He was shocked and quickly rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Strange.
"That's weird. The actor who played the ghost didn't come today …"
.....
On the other side, after changing into a slightly old shirt and trousers, Zong Jiu was looked up and down by the makeup artist again.
Or rather, he did not need makeup at all.
In everyone's eyes, the white-haired youth seemed to have been covered in a layer of light in this gray world. His appearance was beyond the limits of human imagination. Other than being amazed, they could not do anything else. If they really put on makeup, it would be superfluous.
Thus, he swaggered onto the set just like that.
The first scene was very simple.
After the introductions, it was time for the five actors to appear together.
The male lead played by Movie Emperor Ye was a detective literature enthusiast. When he heard that there had been an unjust case of a vicious dismemberment of a corpse in the outskirts of this ancient castle, he rushed here without stopping to try to solve this unjust case.
The supporting role played by Zong Jiu was a fickle college student. He came here to explore purely to catch the other rich guy in his team. His goal was very simple and crude.
As for the other rich guy, he came because part of the evil spirit in the castle had attached itself to him. It made him restless every night, so he decided to come to the castle to investigate.
There were also two other supporting actors. One was Zong Jiu's pursuer, Dead Fat House, and the other was the detective's assistant.
The director held a clipboard in his hand and gestured for the cameraman to follow.
"action!"
The first scene began.
The five of them gathered at the entrance of the abandoned castle with different goals in mind. They planned to go in and take a look.
The castle looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. It was surrounded by weeds and looked very eerie.
The moment Zong Jiu stepped into the castle, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest.
When he turned around, he saw the best actor standing next to him. His eyes were filled with concern as if he wanted to give him a hand.
The white-haired youth paused for a moment, brushed past him, and quickened his pace.
