After the first day of filming, Zhang Mu successfully brought the entire crew into the atmosphere of a horror movie.
However, it was the 21st century after all. In addition, everyone knew that the script was written by Zhang Mu. Therefore, even if everyone was scared by Zhang Mu, they still maintained their rationality and did not let Zhang Mu mess up his trick.
Even Zhang Jiani, who had been scared out of her wits, thought that Zhang Mufang was the one behind it after she regained her senses.
Therefore, although he was still afraid, he was not so scared that he would give up the performance.
However, just as the filming was getting on track, something unexpected happened to the extras.
In the hotel, after listening to Jiang Ping's explanation, Zhang Mu smiled bitterly and scratched his head.
He didn't expect that the lead actor wasn't scared, but the supporting actress was scared away.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh at how bored these girls were. They could actually play Bunshinsaba in the middle of the night after filming.
That was because the female supporting character who jumped out of the car was quite important. She was playing the role of the school bully who bullied Zhang Jiani. In the movie, she could be considered the fourth female lead.
Therefore, when she suddenly left without saying goodbye, Zhang Mu really did not know who to find to replace her. After all, this role still required some acting skills.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mu wanted to slap himself. How could he have been blind to find such a person?
To think that he had thought that there would be another character in Hengdian's extras circle.
Now, it seemed that the girl was beautiful and intelligent, but she was just a gambler.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mu decided to learn his lesson.
Filming, earning money, and playing with women, wasn't that nice?
If he continued to blindly be a talent scout, he would be a dog!
Just as Zhang Mu was struggling to find someone to save the situation, Jiang Ping, who was at the side, thought for a moment and couldn't help but say,
"I do have a candidate…from Bei Ying."
"Oh? Tell me!"
Zhang Mu couldn't help but be curious.
After all, according to his understanding, although Old Jiang knew many beautiful women, they were either young women or wives.
He did not expect that this old scumbag would have the ability to harm Bei Ying.
Faced with Zhang Mu's inexplicable gaze, Jiang Ping immediately said unhappily,
"Don't think too much. I just drank with that girl a few times."
At this point, Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel sad.
After all, although that girl looked weak, she really could drink!
They had gathered at the bar a few times, but every time, a group of men would be defeated by a little girl.
It would be embarrassing if word of this got out!
After Jiang Ping found the girl's photo, Zhang Mu couldn't help but be stunned.
"Jiang Yiyan?"
When Jiang Ping heard this, he couldn't help but look at him with disdain. He thought to himself that this kid was still good at pretending.
Seeing this, Zhang Mu understood that this old scumbag had misunderstood. However, it was more troublesome for him to explain, so he was too lazy to say anything.
After looking at the photos for a while, Zhang Mu couldn't help but nod slightly."
"This girl's temperament is suitable, but…this role is only for the fourth female lead. Can she come?"
After Jiang Ping thought for a moment, he said confidently,
"It's hard to say if it's a TV series. After all, if a young lady is willing, it's really not difficult for her to get a fourth or fifth female lead in a TV series.
But we're in a movie, so she'll definitely be willing to come!"
Seeing that he was so confident, Zhang Mu simply handed this matter over to him.
However, after solving this problem, Jiang Ping thought about the atmosphere in the crew and couldn't help but say,
"Mu Zi, why don't you explain what's going on with the Pen Spirit?"
"No, I can't! Now is not the time!"
As soon as Jiang Ping said this, Zhang Mu shook his head decisively.
Because of the atmosphere he had created, the acting skills of the actors and actresses in the crew had been superb recently.
Even the lighting and makeup teams were inspired.
Zhang Mu could not bear to interrupt such a good state.
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, he suddenly had an idea.
"How about this? Go to the film studio tomorrow and buy me a batch of protective talismans.
Just say that they were worshiped in front of the Buddha in Lingyin Temple and then send one to each person. This should be able to stabilize them for a while.
When it's almost over…if you say that the protective talisman was bought from the market, the actor's condition will probably return immediately!"
After listening to Zhang Mu's arrangements, Jiang Ping couldn't help but look at him speechlessly.
"You…are so f * cking mean!"
Hearing this, Zhang Mu was unhappy.
"What's there to be sarcastic about? I'm just helping the actors get into character!"
Seeing that Zhang Mu was as thick-skinned as a servant, Jiang Ping had nothing to say. He could only silently be an accomplice.
However, because the extras had run away at the last minute, they still delayed a lot of time.
Therefore, Zhang Mu gave the crew a half-day break to let everyone relax so that they wouldn't really be possessed.
……
The original version of Pen Spirit was set in a remote mountain village in Korea. This was actually a bug.
After all, how could there be a high school in a remote and backward village? Where did so many students come from?
Therefore, Zhang Mu changed the background to Lamma Island in Xiangjiang City. After all, to some extent, the Koreans were quite similar to Xiangjiang.
It just so happened that Xiangjiang Street in the film studio had already been built. There was no need for him to go out at all. It was enough for him to complete the filming.
The school that the crew was in wasn't a real school like the one in the film studio. It was a real junior high school. However, there was no difference between junior high school and senior high school in terms of architecture, so Zhang Mu didn't take it too seriously.
Even so, the school only agreed to vacate a few classrooms for him because of Old Master Xu.
After all, the entire school was donated by the old man, so she naturally had to give him face.
Due to the limited time, Zhang Mu quickly continued filming after half a day of adjustment.
……
After Zhang Mu's revision, the current script was a little different from the original.
The female protagonist Zhang Jiani lived on Lamma Island. Due to its remote geographical location, the islanders lived a primitive life, so the local residents had always refused to interact with the outside world.
As the only high school on Lamma Island, due to the low salary, there was always a lack of teachers.
Yan Danchen, the art teacher, volunteered to teach at Lamma High School because her boyfriend was assigned to the Lamma Police Station as a sergeant.
However, Yan Danchen did not expect to encounter a murder on his first day at work. Huihui, a female student from Year 1 Class 3, had actually set herself on fire by wearing a black plastic bag.
When the art teacher, Yan Danchen, heard the news, he thought that it was another murder case caused by a young girl's emotional problems.
However, her boyfriend, Zhu Yawen, told her that this matter was not that simple.
According to the police's investigation, Huihui was the kind of delinquent who was doing well in school. She had no motive to commit suicide.
Thus, Yan Danchen began her teaching career at Lamma High School in a daze.
