The ghost probably saw that everyone didn’t want to fight him anymore, so he took the initiative to apologize to the old Taoist priest from Zhimi Temple who was scratched by him: “Master, I’m sorry for what happened just now. It’s rare for Director Wang to have time to teach me, but you guys messed up my time. I was really angry at the time, and seeing you guys were using swords and knives, I thought you wanted to hurt me, so I fought with you.”
It was rare for the old Taoist priest to see a ghost with such clear thinking. Although his wounds still hurt slightly, he felt a little relieved.
As soon as his expression softened a little, the ghost noticed it immediately and was incredibly thick-skinned, taking advantage of the situation: “Master, if you are not angry with me anymore, can you please say a few good words for me to Director Wang and ask him to give me a role. I don’t ask for too much, just some lines! I have a good ability to learn, and every time he comments on my performance, I remember it carefully and correct it with all my heart!”
“…” The old Taoist priest’s face turned pale again: “Get lost!”
The ghost rolled away in disgrace, begging before rolling away: “Masters, please don’t tell Director Wang about this, or he will have a bad impression of me.”
….
Shuo Zong was staring at the dazed Wei Xi in a trance. With a flash of his eyes, he looked up and saw the ghost that was driven away by many Taoist priests running towards him.
His brows furrowed even deeper. This ghost had just been beaten like that by Wei Xi, yet he still dared to come over?
“What are you up to?”
The ghost ignored him and looked at Wei Xi cautiously: “Master?”
Wei Xi was in a very bad mood, and when he was called back to his senses, he glanced at him coldly with a sinister look without saying a word.
Of course the ghost was afraid of him. He trembled when he was stared at. However, he was supported by the courage that came from nowhere and did not flee. Instead, he spoke again tremblingly: “You… you just said, are the movies I made good?”
Wei Xi: “?”
Shuo Zong: “?”
Wei Xi recalled for a moment and nodded with a serious face.
When the ghost got his answer, it burst into tears, crying even harder than when it was beaten just now, but it was crying with joy. It even threw away its fear of Wei Xi and squatted at Wei Xi’s feet crying.
“Thank you!! You are the first person in the world who recognized my performance!!!”
Wei Xi: “?”
Shuo Zong: “…”
….
There was no need for the ghost to lie. After a little investigation, everyone found out that what it did every day was just hiding in the CD and waiting for Director Wang to call it for an audition, which was boring.
After going through such a farce, the real culprit of the supernatural incident on the crew had not been found. Everyone present felt quite helpless. Of course, the most helpless ones were the people of Taicang Sect…
Shuo Zong turned around and found that Wei Xi was gone, so he asked Tuan Tuanyi: “Where is your master?”
“What do you mean by my master? Isn’t my master your master?” Tuan Tuanyi seriously corrected his junior brother’s address, and then answered, “He just left with Fang Xiaojie.”
Fang Xiaojie was the name of the ghost. He said that before his death, he was a minor actor in various film and television works. He never became famous and was a pauper until his death. It was probably because of this that he was so obsessed with becoming famous that he became very powerful after his death and even unlocked the skill of possessing a disc…
It was a really speechless ability.
Shuo Zong had a very bad impression of the ghost who hugged Wei Xi’s thigh and cried: “What did they go to do?”
Tuan Tuanyi said, “I don’t know either, but I seem to have heard from Fang Xiaojie that he recorded a lot of plays privately. I guess he wants to show them to Master, right?”
….
After Fang Xiaojie found out that Wei Xi’s favorite part of movie was the kissing scene, he performed it for Wei Xi again. After the performance, he asked nervously, “Do you think it’s good?”
Wei Xi nodded: “Very good.”
This time he finally understood what the two people with their necks entangled outside the unfinished building were doing. Fang Xiaojie performed very hard, and the scene of passionate kissing with the ghost girl he conjured up was not exaggerated at all. Wei Xi thought of the two tightly sucking mouths just now and nodded: “You acted very carefully.”
Fang Xiaojie was touched and ashamed by the appreciation of his mentor. He did not realize the meaning of his words and thought he was praising him for his relaxed acting. So he said shyly, “How should I put it? Director Wang said that my performance lacked the element of love. At first, I was embarrassed to show it. Later, I went to an interview with him and heard him tell the reporter that a good actor should devote himself to art wholeheartedly and should not be prejudiced against physical interpretation and showing the body. Then I suddenly realized that if I want to be a good actor, I must be able to act in any role!”
Wei Xi nodded, not quite understanding: “…show…your body?”
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but after he repeated this sentence, Fang Xiaojie’s illusory face actually turned slightly red: “Yes, I also made such a movie later, do you want to see it?”
….
When Wei Xi returned to the room, his second disciple was already inside. After opening the door for him, he asked with a serious expression, “What did you do with that Fang Xiaojie?”
Wei Xi put the disc he got back from Fang Xiaojie on the table: “It gave me its latest movie, which is said to have made a new breakthrough in performance.”
Shuo Zong: “……?”
Wei Xi asked him, “Do you want to watch it together?”
After the door was closed, there were only two people left in the room, and Shuo Zong felt a little uncomfortable.
He met Wei Xi’s eyes, turned his head after a moment and said, “Give it to me.”
When he put the disc into the player, he took a quick look and found that it was another simple disc he had recorded. There was not even a picture on the surface, so it must not be very good to look at.
Wei Xi climbed onto the bed, and didn’t seem to want to sleep for the time being. When he finished playing the disc, he patted the bed beside him and said, “Disciple, come to me.”
Shuo Zong hesitated for a moment at the edge of the bed, then sat down as instructed.
He had a strong yang energy, and Wei Xi always liked to stick to him, so he immediately leaned over.
The room in the mountains was actually a little damp, and when the air conditioner was turned on, the damp and cold turned into stuffiness, with the moisture in the air entangled in a chaotic manner, sticking to the bodies pressed against each other and every inch of skin.
The air conditioning seemed to be turned on a bit high.
Shuo Zong smelled a light scent floating on his nose, like some delicious fruit, or like the chocolate or cola that Wei Xi stuffed in a whole bag. His jaw was also touched by a few strands of fluffy curly hair, which made him feel itchy. He lowered his head to glance at it. Wei Xi’s pointed nose tip was slightly tilted in the dim light, and his eyelashes cast shadows on his cheeks. The two fan-like shadows made the heat in the air become much more subtle.
They were leaning against an intimate double bed, with fluffy pillows on their backs. Shuo Zong turned his eyes away and focused on watching the TV, feeling uneasy. Suddenly, he thought that in such a beautiful and quiet atmosphere, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to play an ugly movie to break the mood.
Just as this thought came to his mind, a vague groan suddenly came from the TV speakers in front of him.
Shuo Zong: “???”
He suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The next second, he knew where this premonition came from.
A wildly shaking shadow suddenly appeared on the big screen on the wall in front. Fang Xiaojie shamelessly hugged the female ghost in his arms with a look of devotion, and his expression seemed as if he was about to ascend to heaven.
Wei Xi stared at it for a while, only to see Fang Xiaojie on TV thrusting his back and shouting. He didn’t quite understand what was going on, so he turned to his apprentice in confusion: “Is this the new breakthrough he mentioned?”
Shuo Zong: “…………………………”
What sin have I committed?
