On the night Yan Jing filled in the form, Xie Chi received a message from Ren Ze.
Ren Ze: I heard from my agent that you are planning to go to that Orange Slice?
Xie Chi was stunned for a moment, then replied casually: Yeah.
Ren Ze: Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I’m paying attention to you, it’s that everyone is staring at you and talking about you behind your back, and I... I overheard it by accident.
Xie Chi: … …Yeah.
Ren Ze: I hired my agent with my points. He has a long career and knows a lot of information. I asked him about it. There are two types of Orange Film privileges. One is to accumulate 3,000 points. The other is more special. The points are not 3,000, but the films you shot before have been upgraded to Orange Film. This is very rare. So for the film you went to, 3,000 points should be the lowest line. You definitely can't reach the average score. Are you really not considering it? What if you meet a big boss with 10,000 points...
Xie Chi didn't care: There are restrictions on the entry of props, what's there to be afraid of.
There is a prop restriction system within the APP.
Actors have no props or very few props at the beginning. As they shoot more movies, they will have more and more props. It is certainly impossible for the APP to allow actors to bring in all available props at once. This is unfair to up-and-coming actors with fewer points. The audience also does not want to watch a variety of prop brawls. After all, the plot of the movie is the point. Therefore, the APP has established a prop restriction system.
——In a horror movie, actors can only bring three props at most.
The existence of the prop limit system prevents actors from relying on a large number of props to pass and ignoring their own abilities. It also combats those actors who accumulate a lot of props in low-level films and then bully others in slightly higher-level films.
After all, the purpose of APP is to create stars and produce good films, not to make old people produce bad films.
So no matter how many points the opponent actor has, he can only have three props at most .
In a narrow sense, when the number of props carried is limited, the quality of the props is crucial.
However, the quality gap between props is not as big as imagined. To put it bluntly, props are tools, and whether they can be used to their full potential depends on the actors.
Ren Ze: That’s right. Let me remind you again, actors who score above 5,000 points may still be talented.
Xie Chi: Oh.
Ren Ze: ...You don’t even ask me what talent is?
Xie Chi: If I don’t ask you, you won’t tell me?
Ren Ze paused for a long time, seemed a little autistic, and after a long while he replied angrily: You are so cruel.
Then he resigned himself to his fate and started to talk to Xie Chi about his talent.
At the end, Ren Ze said: Let's see who has better talent then.
Xie Chi replied uninterestedly: Oh.
Ren Ze: ...
Ren Ze was suddenly silent for a long time: Do you want to reconsider me?
Xie Chi was stunned, and then he thought of what Ren Ze had done for him, and his heart warmed a little. Ren Ze was indeed a reliable partner who would not abandon him or betray him in times of crisis.
He smiled and replied happily: OK.
Ren Ze: You're smart. I'll go to the next part too. Aren't you awesome? If you protect me, I'll support you.
Xie Chi: Okay.
After chatting with Ren Ze, Xie Chi was about to turn off his phone when another message came in.
Xia Yao: I heard you went to Orange Slice?
Xie Chi replied politely: Is there anything wrong?
Xia Yao: That movie is a horror movie. I can go too. I am a little tempted, but the APP recommends actors with strong comprehensive personal abilities to go. So can you... take care of me at the same time? After all, we had a pleasant cooperation before.
Xie Chi knew that she was secretly mentioning the favor she had helped him with before, and hoped that he could help her in the next part. Xie Chi thought that he did owed him a dispensable favor, so he didn't care much and replied casually: My ability is limited, self-protection is the prerequisite, and other things are by the way.
Xia Yao: I know, I will definitely not put you in any difficult position.
Just as Xie Chi was about to turn off the screen, Xia Yao sent another message: You are much better than You Jing [shy.jpg. ]
Xie Chi felt something was odd, so he said a few perfunctory words and was about to close the phone when another message came in.
This time it's a friend request.
Xie Chi clicked it and took a look, then paused.
[Shen Yi requests to add you as a friend, do you agree? ]
Xie Chi's expression was subtle. Was it because he had the same name as Shen Yi? The avatar was in rose gold. It was definitely Shen Yi.
Xie Chi was amused. He and this guy were not from the same world. One was a rising star, the other was an award-winning actor, yet this guy added him as his friend.
Speaking of which, Shen Yi's attitude was very strange. Giving him full marks on the horror skewer was already very eye-catching, and then he was given a knife, which helped him a lot.
Xie Chi sometimes even suspected that Shen Yi knew him, or had some unknown relationship with him, but this was really a bit ridiculous.
Xie Chi came back to his senses and nodded his agreement.
Shen Yi went straight to the point: Can you do me a favor?
Xie Chi was stunned. What could he do to help Shen Yi now? However, no matter whether Shen Yi really cared for him intentionally or unintentionally, in the end, he did help him. Xie Chi didn't like to owe others, so he simply replied: You tell me first, and I'll see if I can do it.
Shen Yi: I won’t make it difficult for you. My... friend will also go with you in your next film. If you have the energy to spare, can you help me take care of him?
Xie Chi was stunned: Do you think I can help?
Shen Yi replied quickly: Of course.
Xie Chi was a little surprised. Shen Yi was so optimistic about him?
Another point, would Shen Yi be friends with someone who might need his care? Although he had no interest in understanding others, he had heard that Shen Yi was an absolute egoist and would not deal with the weak.
Xie Chi flipped through the chat history and felt more and more that Shen Yi had an unusual relationship with this person.
Xie Chi: Okay, I agree.
Shen Yi's request was not excessive, it was just a matter of convenience. As long as it did not cause any loss to himself, Xie Chi did not mind returning the favor.
Shen Yi: His name is Su Qing, the one with the longest and most beautiful hair.
Xie Chi felt something was strange again:...Okay.
Shen Yi didn't reply. Just as Xie Chi was about to turn off the screen, Shen Yi sent another message: Don't tell him that I looked for you.
The strange feeling became stronger. Xie Chi couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He agreed to Shen Yi's request and was finally able to put down his phone.
…
Four days later at midnight, Xie Chi received a reminder to enter the next horror movie:
【In three minutes, you will enter the filming of the movie "Living Hell". 】
"Hell?" Lu Wen, who was standing next to him, also saw it and frowned, "It should be a hell for the dead, but this is a hell for the living..."
"have no idea."
The APP loaded for a few seconds, and the movie poster popped up. Xie Chi paused, with surprise in his eyes.
In the center of the poster is a lotus pond. The water in the lotus pond is as clear as crystal, with lotus leaves spreading out and golden stamens looming. It is very beautiful, like a fairyland. However, the paradox is that under the emerald green water is... a dark hell.
Compared to the brilliance of the lotus pond, hell only had an indescribable outline, depressing and dull, and dangerous. Xie Chi could see the shadows of demons and monsters in it, as well as cold knives, scorching fire, boiling blood pools, and freezing icebergs.
A spider silk thread hung on the thin stem of a lotus leaf, hanging down to hell. The long and thin thread floated in hell, connecting the lotus pond and hell, like an extremely fragile ladder placed on a steep cliff, trying to save the dying people under the cliff.
"What is this revealing..." Lu Wen frowned. He couldn't tell at all. This was the poster that revealed the most unclear information.
Xie Chi stared at it for half a minute and made an irresponsible guess: "It might be a movie with strong symbolism. The poster at least tells me that above hell is not the human world, but a lotus pond. The spider silk connects the lotus pond and hell."
"How amazing." Lu Wen rubbed his fingers. "The last one was clearly a haunted house movie, but what kind of movie is this? I can't seem to make sense of it."
Xie Chi shrugged: "So the APP said it's a bit different."
The quote from "The Living Hell" popped up at this moment:
[Do you believe there is hell in this world? I tell you, hell really exists. It's just that those who enter it are not the dead, but the living sinners. When a person commits sins during his lifetime, his conscience is uneasy and he is muddle-headed. His soul and spirit will become unstable, and the Black and White Impermanence will come to find you and take your soul and spirit back to hell for punishment. Without your soul and spirit, you will become a walking corpse in the real world. If you can successfully atone for your sins in hell, your soul and spirit will return to the world after the punishment period expires. You can even be allowed by the gods to enter the paradise because of your good performance. Of course, for most people, what awaits you will be eternal silence...]
Lu Wen felt uneasy: "Xie Chi, this movie has no rules and the setting is weird..."
Lu Wen was full of fear of change. If possible, he would like to live a stable and ordinary life. This piece was too nonsensical to him. The irregular things made him subconsciously uneasy and confused.
Xie Chi was not affected and continued to wait.
[You will play a criminal and try to escape. ]
【Transmitting, please wait. 】
…
Every time he opened his eyes in the past, he had already entered a movie, but this time it was different. Xie Chi found himself in deep darkness.
Xie Chi frowned, perhaps something unexpected happened.
He was not afraid and waited quietly. Half a minute later, the phone rang. Xie Chi lowered his head and glanced at the words on the screen. His pupils suddenly shrank, and then dilated a little bit.
——【In this film, it is the actor's soul and spirit that enter hell, not the actor himself. Your situation is special. You have a dual personality. The two personalities are completely independent and have complete values. The secondary personality has extraordinary abilities and meets the requirements of an actor. Therefore, this film counts you as two actors. Now your two personalities will be separated, one into two, and you will join the filming together.】
[Your final score is the average of your main personality score and your secondary personality score.]
【Sorry for the inconvenience, you will be compensated with 300 points after the shooting is completed. 】
…
The ghosts who were already seated in the cinema were shocked:
"What happened? The screen suddenly went black!"
"Something's wrong?"
"That's impossible. Maybe something happened suddenly. I just need to wait..."
"I heard there are a lot of actors in this movie?"
"Ji Shen!! Ji Shen is here in this movie!!"
"Is this true?!"
"And the beautiful Su Qing~"
"Keep your voice down, Chi Shen is invincible! Chi Shen is the best!"
"Who is Chi Shen? I often watch Orange Pie, but I don't think I've heard of him?"
"The new guy who kills the third line! The one who comes up with a shocking reversal!"
"Ohhhhhh, now I remember. I'm so curious. I heard he was quite handsome."
“It’s on, it’s on! It’s about to begin!”
"Fuck, there's a strange handsome guy! The one next to Chi Chi! So tall, so A-ahhhh!"
"Does anyone know?! Is there any popular science?!"
"I don't even know the handsome guy I'm looking for..."
"I saw on the phone that his name is Xie Xinglan!"
“Pay attention, pay attention!”
"...Sister, this hasn't started shooting yet."
