The superstar does not fall [rebirth]

Xu Xiwen became a director because of an opportunity.

Yuan Di came to the door, holding a script, and said straight to the point: "Are you interested in making a movie?"

Xu Xiwen, who was drinking afternoon tea, was taken aback and almost spit out the tea, "Me, make a movie?"

"Yes." Yuan Di put the script on the coffee table, "Tan Xu is not interested in this script, so I came to you."

There are two types of movies produced by Yuan Di's scripts, one is well received and well received, and the other is well received but not well received.He is beloved by film critics, but not always by directors and investors.And Tan Xu is not interested in this script, which means that he thinks this script cannot allow him to cheat investors out of money.

"I'm an actor." Xu Xiwen said amusedly.

"I know." Yuan Di nodded, "But many actors have changed their careers to become directors. I am optimistic about you."

Xu Xiwen said hesitantly, "Let me think about it."

Yuan Di rolled his eyes, "Don't think about it, what are you doing at home now, are you eating and waiting to die?"

"You have to let me read the script." Xu Xiwen picked up the script on the coffee table.

Yuan Di picked up a cookie from a small plate on the coffee table and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Look slowly." He ate one after another, "It seems different from the ones sold outside?"

"My friend baked it." Xu Xiwen opened the script.

Yuan Di simply picked up a small plate and threw biscuits into his mouth, "Your family's craftsman is really good."

Xu Xiwen raised his head and smiled at Yuan Di, then looked down at the script.This script called "Fatal Cruise" tells the story of Gu Rongjia, a wealthy daughter, holding a wedding on a cruise ship, but she broke through the adultery between her husband Zhou Jiaqian and bridesmaid Bian Lin on the wedding day, and was murdered by the two conspired.Zhou Jiaqian deceived his father-in-law's company, causing his father-in-law to die of myocardial infarction, and then married Bian Lin.The two had their honeymoon on the cruise ship, but they encountered something extremely horrible.Gu Rongjia turned into a ghost and returned with revenge.Zhou Jiaqian killed Bian Lin in order to survive.He thought he had escaped from the cruise ship in a small boat, only to wake up to find himself still on board.

After reading the script, Xu Xiwen understood why Tan Xu wasn't interested in the script anymore. The big reason was because it was a horror movie script.

Horror films are in a rather embarrassing situation in China, and a term has even been derived—Chinese-style horror films, which refer to “horror films” with Chinese characteristics that audiences are not afraid of after watching them.This kind of "horror film" is not only shoddy, but the actors have poor acting skills, the story is patterned, and there are not even ghosts.

You get scolded, you get scolded, you lose, and you lose - most Chinese-style horror films are in such a vicious cycle.

Xu Xiwen was very interested in this script because he had an interesting idea.

He closed the script, "I accept this script."

Yuan Di finished eating the cookies and left contentedly.

Qin Yi didn't like socializing with people, so he waited for Yuan Di to leave before showing up.He frowned as he looked at the small plate of cookies that he prepared for Xu Xiwen but was eaten up by the guests.

Xu Xiwen touched Qin Yi's eyebrows with his fingers, and rubbed gently, "What's wrong?"

Qin Yi's brows stretched, "The biscuits are for you."

"If you frown on little things, you will grow old quickly." Xu Xiwen joked.

"It's not a trivial matter." Qin Yi pursed his lips tightly.

Xu Xiwen smiled and said, "Why is it not a trivial matter?"

Qin Yi looked into Xu Xiwen's eyes, "It's not a trivial matter about you."

Xu Xiwen felt that he was about to be sucked in by those pitch-black eyes, "You..."

Qin Yi is not a person who is good at talking about love, what he says is from the heart.But these words from his heart moved Xu Xiwen's heart more than any love words.

Xu Xiwen suddenly remembered something serious, "By the way, I want to ask you something."

"Okay." Qin Yi said.

Xu Xiwen laughed and said, "You agreed before hearing what happened, aren't you afraid of regretting it?"

"I don't regret it." Qin Yi said firmly.

Xu Xiwen's heart was touched, and his eyes became softer, "It's actually not a big deal, I just want to ask Master Qin to help me make a movie." He paused, "A horror movie."

Qin Yi thought for a while and said, "Consultant?"

"I guessed half right." Xu Xiwen smiled slyly, "Not only did I ask you to be a consultant, but I also wanted to ask you to do special effects."

The reason why Xu Xiwen agreed to shoot this script was because of Qin Yi.With Qin Yi here, it is estimated that a lot of special effects costs can be saved, and the effect will be better.

……

Xu Xiwen brought in some investment by relying on his connections in the entertainment industry, plus his own savings.He roughly calculated that it should be enough to make a movie.

He carefully considered the choice of actors, and then extended an olive branch to Feng Beihai, who also agreed to play the role of Zhou Jiaqian.Then, he sent an invitation to the actress Cheng Lan who will play Fan Yunsheng's fiancée Xia Ting in the new version of "Once Upon a Time in Beijing". Cheng Lan is also willing to play Gu Rongjia.Feng Beihai and Cheng Lan may not be the best choices, but they are the most cost-effective choices.However, he was quite hesitant about who to play Bian Lin.

Yuan Di recommended the singer Elaine to Xu Xiwen, and Elaine expressed her willingness to play the role of Bian Lin in friendship and to sing the theme song for the movie.

Elaine rarely starred in movies, and if she did, the pay was staggering.Xu Xiwen was really happy to be willing to play in friendship this time.

Yi Lian's acting skills can't be said to be good, but she is the most popular female singer in China.With her in the role, at least the box office will not worry.

According to Yuan Di, it was because Yi Lian owed him a favor.He didn't say what kind of favor it was, so Xu Xiwen didn't ask.

After Xu Xiwen recruited troops, he rented a large cruise ship with a capacity of more than 2000 passengers.This cruise ship is more than 200 meters long, with a displacement of more than 10 tons, and has all kinds of entertainment facilities on board.

Since most of the shots were filmed on the cruise ship, the crew lived on the cruise ship.

When Xu Xiwen boarded the cruise ship, he almost had the illusion that he was on vacation, but the crew coming and going broke his illusion.

He took a deep breath, and felt deeply for the first time that he had changed from actor Xu Xiwen to director Xu Xiwen.

Qin Yi turned into Consultant Qin, standing behind Xu Xiwen holding a black suitcase.Before he went on the deck, he rejected Luo Xinyue's offer to help him carry the suitcase.Because inside this suitcase is an important prop for this horror film - a female ghost.

Xu Xiwen and Qin Yi went to Qin Yi's room on the cruise ship and locked the door behind them.

Qin Yi put the suitcase on the table and opened it.There is only one wooden cylinder in the suitcase, with a talisman attached to it.

Xu Xiwen drew the curtains, and the room became dark.

Qin Yi uncovered the talisman and opened the lid of the wooden cylinder.

A weak female ghost floated out of the wooden tube, her hair was loose, she couldn't see her face clearly, and she was wearing a torn ol' outfit, "Tianshi Mingjian, I have been a ghost for a few months and have never harmed anyone. A little resentful, huh."

Xu Xiwen didn't expect this female ghost to be so funny, so he burst out laughing.

"Help me, I'll let you go." Qin Yi said.

"Why does the Heavenly Master want me to help? I will go through fire and water, and I will die." The female ghost said flatteringly.

"Shooting ghost movies."

"Huh?" The female ghost was stunned.

……

The so-called proud girl of heaven refers to people like Gu Rongjia.She has a beautiful appearance, a wealthy family background, and a considerate boyfriend.Moreover, she and her boyfriend Zhou Jiaqian are getting married.

Their wedding will be held on a cruise ship, and the sea and the sky will be their witnesses.

Zhou Jiaqian told her that there is a custom in their hometown that unmarried couples cannot meet before the wedding.

But Gu Rongjia still wanted Zhou Jiaqian to see how beautiful she was in her wedding dress.

Wearing a wedding dress and holding a bouquet, she walked to Zhou Jiaqian's room.But when she turned the handle, she found that the door was locked.She took out the room key she had secretly assigned and opened the door.

She entered the room. There was no one in the living room, but there were conversations in the half-open bedroom.When she heard her name, she couldn't help but lighten her steps.

"Jiaqian, do you love me?" This was the voice of Gu Rongjia's friend Bian Lin.

"I love you, I only love you alone." This was the voice of Gu Rongjia's fiancé, Zhou Jiaqian.

Gu Rongjia couldn't believe her ears, her heart suddenly turned cold.

"Jiaqian, do you blame me for pushing you to Gu Rongjia?" ——At the beginning, Bian Lin introduced Zhou Jiaqian to Gu Rongjia.

"I don't blame you, I know you are for our future."

"You are already working in Gu's company now. When that company belongs to you completely, you can divorce Gu Rongjia and stay with me."

"At that time, you and I won't have to look at Gu Rongjia's face anymore."

Gu Rongjia finally couldn't bear it anymore, and pushed open the door, "You won't have such a day, I will ask my father to fire you immediately."

Zhou Jiaqian's face changed drastically, "Rong Jia, listen to my explanation!"

"Is there anything else to explain." Gu Rongjia turned around and wanted to leave.

Bian Lin picked up an ashtray and smashed it on the back of Gu Rongjia's head.

Gu Rongjia fainted, bleeding from the back of her head, staining her white veil red, and the bouquet in her hand fell to the ground.

"Linlin, you..." Zhou Jiaqian looked at Bian Lin in horror.

Bian Lin's mood was so calm that it was almost cold, "If Mr. Gu knew about this, neither you nor I would end well, so we just kept going and killed Gu Rongjia and threw the body into the sea."

Zhou Jiaqian was also affected by Bian Lin's emotions, and calmed down, "Throwing the whole body into the sea is too obvious, it's better to dismember the body before throwing it away."

Zhou Jiaqian dragged Gu Rongjia into the bathtub. He separated the flesh and bones with a knife, then burned the bones black and smashed them into the sewer, while the minced meat, teeth, eyeballs, etc. were thrown into the sea.

Gu Rongjia's disappearance made Gu's father very sad. He got a daughter in old age, so he not only regarded Gu Rongjia as the apple of his eye, but also regarded her as his lifeblood.

Zhou Jiaqian swore in front of Gu's father that if Gu Rongjia disappeared, he would never marry.After swearing, he exchanged knowing glances with Bian Lin who was crying because of the disappearance of his good friend Gu Rongjia.
