Chapter 16 Spirit
The halo spontaneously floated in front of Xie Chi, hanging in the air, emitting a golden glow. At the same time, Xie Chi's cell phone rang -
[Item detected: Baby Head Gu permanent positive buff, buff effect: slightly higher luck than ordinary people. Buff effect example: when ghosts attack people indiscriminately, your probability of being the first to be attacked is reduced; after completing the branch, your probability of obtaining new items is increased. For more effects, please explore by yourself. ]
[Is the actor Xie Chi bound to this item? ]
Luck Buff? Xie Chi was a little surprised that this kind of thing could also be a prop. He casually clicked to confirm, but he was not very happy.
This thing sounds pretty cool, but the key lies in how . If the percentage is not clearly stated, it would be a hooliganism.
Increasing the probability of dropping items by one in ten million is also an increase, but it has no effect.
[This buff is different from others. Others only temporarily increase mental strength, physical strength, etc. Why this buff so effective? Luck... it's too hard to define. ]
[Do you think he made a profit or a loss? It feels useless, but also seems to be very useful. 】
[It's hard to say, it's very confusing. Whether it works well or not depends on the specific situation in the subsequent horror movies. ]
[It's actually OK. Buffs are so hard to get, and they can be used in any movie. Although the effects are basically weak, every bit counts. If he gets a horror movie-exclusive item, but ends up being stuffed into a weird zombie book and doesn't need it, wouldn't that be even more unlucky?]
Xie Chi had no idea what the audience was discussing. He followed the instructions on the app and reached out to Buff. The golden halo immediately wrapped around his wrist, blending with him and disappearing.
Xie Chi didn't feel any changes in his body.
The phone rang again——
[The exploration has ended, and the comprehensive evaluation results of the actors are loading——. 】
Xie Chi waited for half a minute, and the report came over.
Cast of "Red Ghost":
Male lead: Xie Chi, reward: 100 points.
The number of followers increased by 3977, rounded up, and 40 points were obtained.
Complete the Baby Head Gu side quest and be rewarded with 50 points.
Complete the unspoken plot outside the main storyline and be rewarded with 20 points.
The contribution to the main storyline is an astonishing 100%, and an additional 20 points will be awarded.
Total points obtained: 230 points.
Male No. 2: Yan Jing, reward: 50 points.
Increased followers by 156 and gained 2 points.
Total points obtained: 52 points.
Actors Jiang Rui and Zheng Ming's contribution to the main storyline is too low and their fan base is too low, so they do not meet the evaluation criteria and are listed as cannon fodder.
Actors who died: Zhou Wen, Zhang Bin, Zhang Lan.
【Thank you to all the actors for your passionate performances. The rewards will be sent to the APP immediately, please check it. 】
In addition to horror movies, the big screen in the cinema lists the comprehensive evaluation rankings, from top to bottom, with the character portraits in front and the scores at the back.
When the audience saw the score of 230, they were all stunned and the huge cinema fell silent.
After a long while, the ghost swallowed his saliva and said, "How come I remember that the total score of Mr. Shen's rookie film was 20 points less than this?"
"Shen Yi got 210 points. This record has been maintained for a long time and has never been lowered. 210 is already ridiculously high, and then suddenly 230 appears..." The expression of the ghost who spoke was indescribable.
"...He has broken the record in film history, right? Could it be that this Xie Chi has more potential than the human actor?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Who is Shen Yi? He is the top of this year."
"It was just luck. Anyway, I will keep an eye on it. The number of followers has increased by nearly 4,000. I remember that the upper limit of the audience for this crappy movie was only 5,000. Excluding those who are waiting and watching, it's amazing..."
"He has so much potential, do you think Zhou Tong would still dare to mess with him?"
"It depends on whether he knows what's good for him. If he listens to me, I guess I can just let the blacklisting go."
After the comprehensive personal evaluation, the quality of the horror film is redefined.
On the big screen, Green Card "Red Ghost" turned his back, and the audience whispered:
"Do you think this film will be upgraded? Will it?"
"Yes, the side quests are all completed, and the main quest is 100% complete."
Three seconds later, "The Red Ghost" was opened again, but this time the background was not the cheap green, but a comfortable blue.
"Fuck! It really upgraded! It became bland!"
"The last time the quality of the novice film was upgraded, it seemed to be Shen Yi. What luck we have, haha."
"I made a profit. I bought the ticket with 100 ghost coins and watched a movie worth 300 yuan."
There was a black introduction underneath the card: Blue "Red Ghost", mediocre quality.
Disadvantages: slow pace, some plots are vulgar and shocking, horror elements are old-fashioned, costumes and makeup are poor , and supporting characters are stupid.
Advantages: Actor Xie Chi’s outstanding personal performance and the icing on the cake of the side story.
Overall evaluation: It is worth fast-forwarding and watching the highlights in your spare time. It is a personal show of actor Xie Chi.
The big screen went completely black, and the ghosts stood up contentedly and walked out of the dark cinema.
"I must save up 2,000 ghost money this year to watch Actor Shen's movie!"
"Why bother? Watching one will cost you a whole year. You can chase after newcomers with potential. It's cheap and exciting. You may even get a chance to upgrade the quality of horror movies..."
“That makes sense.”
…
Xie Chi confirmed his exit from "The Red-Dressed Ghost". When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a familiar bedroom.
This is where he lives.
The furnishings had not changed at all, and the smell in the room was exactly the same as before. The tea leaves in the cup on the desk had turned brown and rotten from being soaked for so long.
The phone was occupied by the APP, so Xie Chi turned on the computer and glanced at the date on the lower left corner of the computer, and found that it was July 19th.
He was teleported away via the APP on July 16, three days ago, and stayed in the horror movie for exactly three days.
It seems that the speed at which time passes in horror movies is the same as in the real world.
Xie Chi put his hand on his forehead. He was no longer having a fever, and the feeling of weakness in his body had completely disappeared.
Since the disease belongs to the "role" and not to the actor himself, then Zheng Ming must have been reborn with his hand severed at this time.
Back in the familiar place, Xie Chi relaxed a little, sat down on the computer chair, and opened the APP personal information panel.
The points column says 0+190 points, and the fans column says 0+3975 (40 points).
It was 3977 just now, but now it has dropped by 2. It is normal to lose fans, and Xie Chi is indifferent to it.
The number of fans of an actor is like the number of followers on Weibo. It can rise and fall and is a flexible number.
1 point for 100 fans, 100 points for 10,000 fans.
The points converted from the number of fans can be used immediately, but if the number of fans drops, the actor must make up the owed points.
For example, actor A has 30,000 fans, which is equivalent to 300 points. Actor A used up these 300 points and accidentally lost 10,000 fans. Then actor A must pay back 100 points.
Therefore, actors must manage their fans well, otherwise they will spend a lot of points and suddenly lose fans, and will not be able to fill the gap, resulting in negative points. The final result will be their own death.
Unless there are unexpected events, actors generally do not use the points converted from the number of fans, because the risk is too great and there is a possibility of running out of money at any time.
Further down is the title.
Xie Chi’s previous title was an unknown eighteen-tier star, but now he has become an unknown ghost movie actor.
The color of the title turned into a cheap green, emitting a faint and tiny light.
The following comment is: You have participated in some ghost movies, but you are not famous. Your representative work is the ghost movie "Red Ghost" (male lead). If you have filmed a ghost movie, you will be more likely to be selected for a ghost movie.
Xie Chi noticed that this time there was an expandable column behind the title column.
Drag the expandable bar to reveal a line of small text - your current total points ranking is 18266, and there are 13874 actors with the same color as your title.
Xie Chi was stunned. He didn't expect that there were so many actors under the APP. He had more than 200 points and ranked nearly 20,000th. He didn't know how many more there were after 20,000th, but the number must be extremely large.
Newcomers like Jiang Rui and Zheng Ming were directly listed as cannon fodder in horror films and did not receive any comprehensive ranking rewards. They might have shot an entire film of "Red Ghost" and still not received more than 5 points.
It's very shabby, but the reality is so cruel. This is a place where income depends entirely on one's own ability.
The gap between the rich and the poor has always existed. Xie Chi could imagine how many points the top group of people would get after successfully shooting.
Instead of feeling frustrated, Xie Chi chuckled, with ambition surging in his eyes.
He would definitely climb to the top and get his brother back.
Xie Chi exited the personal information panel and found that the hidden page on the left could be swiped to the right, which was the actor rankings, but this list only showed the top 10 in the entire APP.
The first one is Shen Yi, and his title is dazzling red - Movie King.
Xie Chi took a quick look and found that there was only one Best Actor, and the other nine titles on the list were all first-tier.
The Best Actor/Best Actress is unique in the APP.
Xie Chi smiled without any envy. One day, his name would appear here. He was very sure that it was only a matter of time.
Young people who have just graduated from school do not necessarily have to envy the rich people in their forties or fifties. They just started earlier than themselves. The unattainable destination of others may not be the other side that they cannot reach.
The APP did not give any further instructions. Xie Chi saw that the teacup in front of him was a bit annoying, so he simply put down his phone, picked up the teacup, and walked out, ready to clean the room.
As soon as I walked into the living room, there was a knock on the door.
Xie Chi was startled, put down the teacup, walked over, looked out through the peephole, and found two men in police uniforms standing outside the door.
police?
To investigate his mysterious disappearance?
Xie Chi observed for a few seconds and confirmed that they were real policemen. He opened the door boldly and was about to greet them with a smile, but the two policemen... passed through his body and walked into the living room.
The smile on Xie Chi's face froze instantly.
A policeman said, "It's weird. There's no one in the room, so how come the door opened suddenly? It was a security door, what the hell!"
"Yeah, I just knocked for a long time and it was obviously locked. How come it suddenly opened? Is there anyone there?!" another person shouted loudly with an alert look.
"Where did the missing person Xie go? The series of preparations he made before his disappearance seemed as if he had predicted his disappearance..."
"He seemed to not want anyone to notice that he was missing. If his mother hadn't called the police, no one would have noticed that such a big man had disappeared for three days..."
"Hey? There's a teacup here..."
Xie Chi looked down at himself, and he looked exactly the same as before he left.
He can touch real objects, but cannot touch living people, which has just been verified.
So he is now... a spirit?
After being bound to the APP, even if he returns to the real world, he still exists as a spirit?
