Chapter 3402: I am Not an Expert
“This… I am not an expert or master. I don’t know the answers to your questions.” Yu Xianrao felt puzzled as well. However, I am certain that if the incense sticks extinguished the second time we pray, then there is a problem.”
Han Zhuofeng was speechless. “…”
“Sure. Let’s all pray sincerely.” Han Zhuofeng decided not to argue about this.
“We will all be careful this time and make sure that the incense sticks are lit.” Han Zhuofeng instructed.So, everyone lit their incense sticks.
They were certain that the incense sticks were lit. Then, they prayed sincerely and placed the incense sticks onto the burner.
Yu Xianrao stared at it nervously.
But not long after they placed the incense sticks, one of the incense sticks that each of them had lit was extinguished.
Han Zhuofeng was speechless. “…”
This did seem eerie. It was no wonder Yu Xianrao was nervous.
“Director Han, there was no wind!” Yu Xianrao grabbed Han Zhuofeng’s arm and said, “The incense stick extinguished by itself.”Han Zhuofeng sighed and said, “This is just a coincidence. Teacher Yu, don’t be too nervous.”
“But…”
“It doesn’t matter. Are we going to give up on this place?” Han Zhuofeng asked, “Director Wu has already filmed in this place without any issues. Nothing weird happened to them.”
“And now, are we going to scare ourselves just because of a few incense sticks? In addition, if we aren’t going to film here, the amount of work and money we have invested into preparing for this filming would all go to waste. Are we going to prepare everything all over again?”
“It’s impossible for us to give up on all of that just because of such baseless suspicion,” Han Zhuofeng said, “Teacher Yu, I didn’t create money out of thin air.”
“You might think that I, the third son of the Han Family, will not be short of cash. Even if that were true, my family does not respect the tradition of letting a rich family’s son burn money for fun.” Han Zhuofeng said, “This is actually my first film, and I have put a lot of effort into it.”
“Because this is my first film and I didn’t have any experience, I’m really scared that I might make a bad film. I didn’t even dare to tell my family about it. I tried to raise funds by myself, and I took out my years of savings. My family only knew that I was directing this movie when my brother found out that I was selling my car.”
“However, I couldn’t ask the Han Corporation to invest in this movie because I wanted to film it myself. I was worried that my brothers would be under a lot of pressure if I ended up making a bad movie,” said Han Zhuofeng.
“The funds I have now were given to me by my family members from their personal accounts,” Han Zhuofeng said, “They gave me the money because they trusted me. They trusted that I was not taking this money and burning it for fun.”
Yu Xianrao couldn’t say anything.
A really large stall was already constructed outside. Han Zhuofeng had even transformed the indoor studio into a different world.
Every scene prop was an exact 1:1 replica.
They wouldn’t use the green screen if they could make a real-life model.
Han Zhuofeng wanted to make a good film. He had spent a lot of effort and money.
Yu Xianrao knew why Han Zhuofeng would hire him.
It was because his pay was cheap and he had good acting skills.
Yu Xianrao was here because he hoped to be recognized for his acting skills through his movie.
He had connections. However, he was still an actor. He wanted to prove himself as an actor.
He had come on set yesterday. With just a glance, he knew that Han Zhuofeng had spent most of the money on pre-production planning. He had put in a lot of effort.
Yu Xianrao was glad that he had made the right decision.
He had read the screenplay, and the screenplay had kept the structural elements in the original novel and had only left out certain scenes.
After all, to compress a written work into a movie, some scenes had to be omitted.
The original novel was a masterpiece. As long as the screenwriter didn’t stupidly create scenes to add to this movie, the movie would be an excellent movie.
If the production of the film were good, this would be a local showpiece.
So, Yu Xianrao was very happy that he made this choice.
Even if his pay were lower, he would have a centerpiece of his career that he could show other people. He would be more popular in the future by then.
“Teacher Yu, let’s not scare ourselves. Let’s film first. These incense sticks can’t prove anything,” Han Zhuofeng said, “If anything weird happened, we will stop immediately. Is that okay?”
Yu Xianrao nodded and said with a bitter smile, “I wasn’t saying that we should just abandon this whole setup. I know that is not realistic.”
“I am just telling you. I am just reminding you. It would be best if nothing happened. I hope nothing happens,” Yu Xianrao said.
He was just hoping that Han Zhuofeng could view this as something of importance.
“Okay.” Han Zhuoli nodded.
When the film shooting opening ceremony ended, they didn’t start filming immediately.
They only officially started in the afternoon since they prepared for the filming in the morning.
Han Zhuofeng took Shi Xiaoya around so that she could be more familiar with the set.
Although there were a lot of changes, the original structure of the building left by Wu Mosen was maintained.
The space in the building looked the same, but every area now had a different purpose.
Therefore, he still had to show Shi Xiaoya around so that she could be more familiar with things.
However, Shi Xiaoya was familiar with this place. The areas simply had different functions.
However, Shi Xiaoya had always been a fast learner.
Shi Xiaoya didn’t ask Han Zhuofeng to keep her company after that. Instead, she asked Han Zhuofeng to get some work done.
When Shi Xiaoya thought about the incense sticks extinguishing on their own, she was creeped out.
So, she told Lu Man about this through WeChat.
“This is the first time something like this has happened. When I did make-up for other movies, the celebrities would often talk about the supernatural events they have encountered or the supernatural events that someone else had encountered. I thought they were being dramatic and just exaggerating things. Although what happened to us wasn’t a serious matter, it was creepy. This has never happened to me before.”
She typed really slowly, but she had a lot to say.
Therefore, Shi Xiaoya just sent Lu Man a voice message.
However, even though Shi Xiaoya said that was creeped out, she wasn’t really scared.
She was even thinking that she could use this supernatural event as a conversation starter and talk to people about it.
Shi Xiaoya didn’t take it seriously, but Lu Man did.
When she heard what Shi Xiaoya said, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.
And so, she quickly told Xie Jiling about this.
“Tell them to pay attention to their protection talisman for any changes,” Xie Jiling said, “If the vengeful spirit is far away, the protection talisman will show no changes. However, if the vengeful spirit approached, the protection talisman will respond. Therefore, you should ask Sister Xiaoya to pay attention to her protection talisman.”
“If possible, you should ask Han Zhuofeng to pay attention to his protection talisman,” Xie Jiling said.
“I just accepted a client’s request two days ago. My client is in Gui City, and the soonest I can return to B City would be tomorrow night. Just ask them to pay attention to those talismans. I will go to the set as soon as I get off the plane tomorrow night.” said Xie Jiling.
Lu Man didn’t expect Xie Jiling to be so busy and that Xie Jiling had already accepted another commission and had already left B City.
