The monster villain of the extraordinary world

Chapter 18 Underground Movies
After leaving the Furong Market, Lei Yue continued to walk back to his home on the eighth floor of the dilapidated apartment building with a pace of ignorance.

He closed the door of the house, and was wondering if he was looking around to see if anyone had entered the house and installed a surveillance camera...

Boom!The crow suddenly kicked its claws and flapped its wings from his shoulders, and flew towards the small balcony. The old glass window of the balcony was blown open by the wind at some time in the past few days.

"Hey, friend!" Seeing that it was about to leave, Lei Yue couldn't help calling out, and even planned to ask what happened to it just now.

But the crow still went its own way, rushed out of the window, and flew into the distance.

Lei Yue ran to the balcony, looked out at the gray sky, and saw that the crow was flying in the direction of the film and television city again.

It seemed that the crisis was resolved, the scene was temporarily passed, and he could go back to the film and television city.

"Huh—" Lei Yue just pulled off his mask and heaved a sigh of relief, "Accidents happen as soon as we come back, and there are new situations in the villagers every day... The situation in the village seems to be getting out of control."

As he walked towards the cabinet, he recalled what happened in the market just now, the graffiti of the gunman, the big man, and the crow...

"This friend, it will lead the way and warn."

Lei Yue thought about it. When this mysterious friend landed on his shoulders twice in the garbage dump and the market, he had to pay attention to its claws when he was not flying to lead the way.

Currently, he found two states of its claws:
One is not very hard, it seems to be resting, observing and waiting;
The second is to grab his flesh vigorously and violently. At this time, it is a warning, and there is a situation that needs attention.

"Is this a small gain from this adventure?" Lei Yue murmured, "I understand the sign language of this dumb friend."

And seeing that piece of graffiti, that shotgun card...

But the most important thing to come home is.

At this time, Lei Yue came to stand in front of the mahogany cabinet, looking at the three photos of mother-in-law and parents in the cabinet, their smiles were still there.

"Family, I'm back. I haven't offered incense to you for a few days. You're not hungry. If you're hungry, just lose weight, okay?
"I've been through a lot these days..."

While talking, Lei Yue connected the plug, turned on the power, and lit up the electronic incense candles for them, "The actor's dream is not easy to come true, it's really not easy. But now, I have a new position for myself... I know someone My new friend is a beautiful girl."

He smiled, looking at the photo of his mother-in-law's kind face, "Grandma, I didn't lie to you this time, really! Her name is Lingsha, she is a very interesting person, and she has taught me a lot.

"Well, I hit someone, I'm a little scared, but I don't regret it... Like Ling Sha said, I'm not as twisted as I used to be.

"You guys should be happy seeing me stand up like this, you should be happy...

"As for my physical condition."

Lei Yue's voice became softer, and he felt that his neck was spurting blood again, his neck bone seemed to be splitting, and his whole head would fall out at any moment.

This is a symptom of what doctors call the "living dead disease," where patients have these hallucinations of death, when in fact the body is fine, it's just delusions.

However, he really felt that he was going fast, and he didn't know how long he could last. He had to take medicine or die.

Lei Yue didn't want his family members to worry, so he didn't say much:

"He is in good health and eats four meals a day without paying.

"In short, I will continue to work hard until I can't act anymore."

The conversation gradually stopped, but Lei Yue still stood in front of the divine cabinet for a while, then turned and walked away, went back to the bedroom to tidy up his clothes, went to the bathroom to take a shower and wash clothes...

After working at home for a few hours, he was about to leave again, so he went to the shrine to turn off the incense.

Before going out, Lei Yue looked at the bottle of olanzapine that he had brought from the bedroom to the coffee table in the living room for a while, but in the end he still didn't take it, not even a single medicine.

Since the doctors said that the blood spurting from the neck was just a delusion, but in fact it was impossible to die, why did you have to take medicine?
……

After Lei Yue returned to the film and television city, he went to the modern street studio arranged by Sister Hua to start work, and followed the crew until very late to finish work.

Before, he had taken time to apply for a formal actor's work permit, which made it much easier to come and go.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when we returned to the Maiji.

At this time, Lei Yue was sitting on a dining chair by the street window of Maiji, closing his eyes and resting his mind, holding the pistol hidden in his pocket with his right hand.

No police came, but the graffiti of the gunman was always lingering in front of his eyes, especially the graffiti of the playing card, which gave him an indescribable visual impact at that time.

【Shotgun Man, SHOTGUN MAN】

During this period of time, in order to hide himself well, Lei Yue neither searched the Internet for gun knowledge, nor did he search for keywords such as "gunman" and "Jack the Ripper".

He couldn't find anyone to help without being caught by the vine. You must know that even black Internet cafes are monitored now.

Now he has a reason to search. He has seen that graffiti in the market during the day, so it is normal to search online or not.

However, the risk of doing so is still very high...

"Shotgun man, Jack the Ripper." Lei Yue murmured in his heart, "If you want to use your own IP to search the Internet, you have to take advantage of this opportunity, otherwise it will only attract more and more attention."

At this time, the alarm clock rang on his mobile phone, and it was 10 minutes before midnight.

If you want to search, you should not search now. Searching in the early morning is too suspicious.

Lei Yue first put away his messy thoughts, opened his eyes and stood up, dragging his tattered body towards the kitchen, "It's time for supper."

In the wee hours of the morning, as the diners left, the residents of Mai Kee had already returned to their places one by one.

Lingsha sometimes spends the night at Maiji, sometimes she doesn't.

When she was around, she would always take the lead to get supper, but she was nowhere to be seen tonight.

Lei Yue waited at the door of the kitchen for a while, and then went to the back alley with the clerk, and brought back a few small bags of food that he divided in white plastic bags. They were all Maiji products, but they looked like takeaway food shop.

He has checked this matter online, and it is the legitimate rights and interests of consumers to bring outside food into the store, and it is illegal to prohibit it.

Most Mai Kee don't care about this, and some people even deliberately bring food from Ken Kee to Mai Kee on the Internet; some Mai Kee will stare at it, and even conflict with customers.

Manager Liang of this Maiji is a good person, and he turned a blind eye to what he did.

"Handsome guy, supper tonight." Lei Yue walked to the table of the white-haired man in a military coat, and put down a small bag of food with French fries and chicken nuggets.

"Oh, oh..." The man in military uniform woke up from his sleepy state, and without washing his hands, he grabbed the French fries and started eating, "There are so many tonight."

"Maybe someone ordered the meal, but didn't come to pick it up." Lei Yue said with a smile, the stray cats in the alley were all given a meal.

He then walked towards the old lady in yellow, "Beauty, yours."

The old woman may have some mental problems, and she keeps nagging all day long thinking about something, and now she is thinking again: "Go home... the house..."

Seeing him put down a small bag of food, the old woman raised her head and smiled slightly at him, her mouth full of missing and yellow teeth.

Lei Yue also smiled, and continued to deliver supper to other long-term residents.

Maiji is like a hotel every night, but there are only a few long-term residents.

Lingsha doesn't care whether these people are hungry or full, but he feels...

Although they didn't even know each other's names, they didn't dislike each other.

And so much food can't be eaten by oneself, so it's good to share it, especially for these two homeless old people.

"It's done." Lei Yue walked around the store, took the remaining big bag, went back to the window where he lived, and started to eat, "Let's eat."

He looked at the street outside, and then looked at his phone. There was no "Lingsha" in his contacts or in the communication app, and no one mentioned the matter of adding friends.

Lei Yue was eating french fries and looking at Moments when suddenly, someone came in from the door of the store.

He turned his head and saw that it was Lingsha. She was wearing the loose baseball uniform and jeans, holding a yellow skateboard, and the other two and a brown backpack hanging from her back. The clothes matched her colorful hair. gorgeous.

As soon as Lingsha entered the shop, she looked towards this corner, and nodded slightly in greeting, as if she had looked at him a few more times.

Are you looking at supper?Lei Yue held up a bag of food, "The harvest is very rich tonight, and I left you an apple pie."

There was nothing covering his rotten face, but his facial muscles were natural, not acting.

"Yeah." Lingsha walked over, sat down on a chair opposite, and took the apple pie in the bag, "Have you played the dead body for another day?" she asked.

"I guessed it right, but at least there is a scene of struggling and rolling." Lei Yue showed a self-deprecating expression, "I am the most suitable person to play a dead body."

He clutched his neck that was still bleeding, every hour was worse than the previous hour...

The more blood flowed, the nearer the breath of death.

Seeing that Lingsha noticed that he was covering his neck and staring at him, Lei Yue seemed to be jokingly saying, "I'm bleeding from my neck, I'm dying, but you can't see it."

"Oh..." Lingsha ate the apple pie, not knowing what she was thinking, and regardless of whether he could understand or not, she said, "It's not a problem to act as a dead body. 'Harlow' still acts as a dead body all day long."

That's really acting.Lei Yue immediately grinned, regaining his energy, "If I have the kind of Dabuliu that Harlow can inherit, I can also pretend to be dead."

Lingsha also smiled when she heard the words, her eyes flashed brightly, "That's true."

They know each other understands, "Harlow" is the protagonist of a classic CULT film "Harlow and Maude" from decades ago.

Harlow is a young man who can inherit a large fortune, but he is not keen on the upper class, but deviant, obsessed with black things such as funerals, suicides and death. dying.

"Do you like watching CULT movies?" Lei Yue asked, adding something in his heart: I like it too...

In this day and age, there are many people who know about the show "I see my wife pretending to be dead every day when I go home", but very few people know about "Harlow and Maude".

However, he was not surprised that the girl with colored hair on the opposite side would like this kind of movie.

Deviance, anarchism, black humor...

"Yeah." Lingsha replied, she didn't know what she was thinking, she looked at the neon street outside, and said a classic line from "Harlow and Maude":

"A lot of people don't mind dying. They don't really die. They just withdraw from life and go away..."

Lei Yue suddenly fell silent, and a few photos on the cabinet flashed before his eyes again.

Lingsha also didn't speak, just eating apple pie.

After being silent for a long while, Lei Yue saw that she suddenly looked over and kept looking at him until he shrugged a bit awkwardly and asked, "Why?"

"That's right, I don't want you to quit so soon... I just don't want to." Lingsha finally said again.

Lei Yue's heart warmed up, and he tightly covered his neck with his palms, "I'll hold on, try my best."

"I want to take you somewhere." Lingsha said, looking him up and down, a little hesitant, "I don't know if you can do it. It's just that, looking at you like this, you're going to die. You can't even go."

"Speak up if you have something to say." Lei Yue was puzzled, "I don't like nonsense just like you."

"I know some people who make underground movies. They have a job." Lingsha continued, "Thriller type, handheld shooting, and only a few people on the crew, you need a scary-looking actor, who is the leading role."

Lei Yue raised his eyebrows eagerly, his mouth stopped eating French fries, and he felt that the bleeding from his neck had also stopped, "Are there any underground movies in the film and television city?"

The so-called "underground films" refer to ultra-low-budget films, experimental films, B-grade films, and CULT films, often grotesque, black and bloody, and opposed to the mainstream and commercial markets "above ground".

But precisely because of this, too many classics have been born in underground movies, challenging people's concepts at the time and changing the way movies are played. "Harlow and Maude" is one of them.

However, he only knows that there are underground film ecological communities in foreign countries, and he has not heard much about domestic ones...

"It's online distribution and foreign distribution, not going to theaters." Lingsha replied, "The budget seems to be tens of thousands of yuan. It's just for fun. It's okay if the distribution fails, so there is not much salary."

"Oh." Lei Yue nodded understandingly, "It doesn't matter how much you pay, just take care of the food, lead role... lead role..."

Leading role, is this the purpose of that black bird friend to bring me to Mak Kee?
Not only did she meet Lingsha, a new friend, but she also gave her such an opportunity.

Although it is said to be "filmed for fun", underground movies are filmed for fun, and the more you know how to play, the more classic you will be.

The more Lei thought about this, he couldn't help being a little excited, and his heart began to beat faster.

"When will the shooting of this job start? Do I need an audition?" He asked, wondering if he should do some homework to prepare.

"Just take you there and show them. If it's suitable, we can start work tonight."

When Lingsha said this, her usual casual tone became a little more serious, "Those people are also negative choices, old black sheep, and the way of doing things may not be suitable for you now."

"If you're interested, I'll take you there." She made up her mind.

Bang bang, Lei Yue could hear his own heartbeat, and during the day he said that the dream of being an actor is not easy, but now, this dream has such a sense of reality for the first time.

Ayasha is worried that I won't get used to it?No, to make an underground film, you need black sheep who can break the stereotypes to make a good film...

He looked at the girl with colored hair opposite, "Are you also on the set?"

"I just happen to know those people." Lingsha shrugged and said, "But if you go, I will go to have fun too. You have talent, you shouldn't waste it like this."

"Thank you." Lei Yue's voice was very soft, but he really thanked the negative choice friend introduced by the crow who helped him a lot these days.

He nodded heavily, "I'm interested, very interested."

"Okay, let's go now, before you die." Lingsha got up, took another big bite of the apple pie, and walked outside the store, revealing a black thorn tattoo on her right wrist.

Is it so late to take night scenes and shoot all night?Lei Yue suddenly thought.

After a busy day, he was quite tired just now, but now he is full of vigor, and there is no problem staying up all night. I will ask Sister Hua for leave tomorrow to catch up on sleep during the day.

"Here we come!" He quickly cleaned up the table a few times, picked up his backpack, and brought a bag of food.

Lei Yue caught up with Lingsha and walked out of Maiji, the street outside was full of neon lights and colorful lights.
