"Mandarin duck widows" refers to women who are married and have children. When they remarry, they first go to the grass in remote mountains to hide from the ghost of their ex-husband." The staff said, "They have to hide for a total of 7,749 days.

Only then can you remarry."

The three of them frowned when they heard this, and Bai Qiuye said: "What kind of custom is this? Isn't it possible that after seven or seven forty-nine days, the ghost of a woman's ex-husband will directly lose his memory?"

The staff member said: "Anyway, this was the custom here. The richer the family, the more they cared about it."

Xia Zizuo said in shock: "Did all the concubines married by the wealthy businessman go to the mountains to escape? There are wild animals in the wild mountains and wild mountains. A woman lives alone for forty-nine days. Even if her ex-husband does not follow her, she will encounter

Go to other ghosts."

Xie Lingyue sneered: "Speaking of which, this wealthy businessman is really tolerant. It was originally because of his lust that he caused these women to remarry. After forty-nine days, I'm afraid they will have changed their minds."

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, this is the custom. No matter how impatient he is, he can't stop his family from talking about it." The staff member said, "He has a wife, and we don't want him to go home one after another.

Every time I take a concubine, I will try my best to delay the time for these women to come in."

When the three heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads when they thought of the situation of these women who were forced to stay as widowers in the mountains and forests.

Anyone who is weak or unlucky will probably die in the mountains.

"Why don't you go back to filming?" The staff began to chase away customers impatiently.

"Last question." Bai Qiuye said, "What is the basement under that foreign-style building used for?"

The staff member had a confused look on his face: "Basement? I've never heard of it."

Xie Lingyue asked: "Do you have any files left over from previous construction projects?"

The staff member said: "How could we have something like that in our office? After it was completed, it was taken away directly by the construction company."

The three of them looked at each other.

Although the door leading to the basement is not very obvious, it is not secretive either.

It's just on the corridor. As long as people from the movie theater search carefully on the first floor, they can definitely find it.

However, the room after entering the basement seemed to have not been repaired at all, which is indeed consistent with the staff's statement that they were unaware.

All three of them felt strange for a moment.

Because this is a very contradictory thing.

"Did you find a basement under the western-style building? It may be because the previous crew changed the room." The staff said, "After that movie, this place became unlucky and we rarely went in. The crew sometimes moved into the basement for the purpose of setting the scene.

We will make some structural improvements to the house. The house cannot be rented anyway, so we will turn a blind eye."

Xia Zizuo coughed: "We have no problem anymore."

He pushed the other two people out: "This NPC has said everything she needs to say. She really doesn't seem to know anything about the basement."

Seeing that they could not find the answer from the NPC, the three of them left the office building.

"According to her statement, the stairs and basement were opened later," Xia Zizuo said, "but that room has obviously existed for more than a few decades."

"Perhaps, this basement existed before, but was sealed for some reason, so it was not discovered during the renovation of the film and television city." Xie Lingyue said, "The crew of that movie might have renovated the building later.

Found it by accident.”

Xia Zizuo asked: "Have you ever found out what the plot of that movie is?"

Bai Qiuye handed him a brochure, which was placed on the newspaper rack in the studio office.

The brochure contains introductions to many movies shot in this studio.

Among them, the most important one is a horror movie.

"It should be this one." Bai Qiuye said, "The foreign-style building in the back is exactly the same as the foreign-style building we photographed."

Xia Zizuo and Xie Lingyue came together and lowered their heads to look at the brochure. Suddenly their heads hit each other and they looked at each other sheepishly.

Xia Zizuo asked worriedly: "It didn't hurt you, did it?"

Xie Lingyue said gently: "No."

Bai Qiuye: "... hurry up and take a look."

Xie Lingyue suddenly became reserved and stood aside, not taking the initiative to read the brochure with Xia Zizhuo.

Xia Zizuo simply read it to Xie Lingyue: "Hua Feng was married into the Xie family by her father for the price of a donkey. Unexpectedly, after she married, Mr. Xie, who was already seriously ill, actually stood up again. Hua Feng got

Because of Master Xie's love, Master Xie asked her to accompany him every day. However, she fell in love with Master Xie's youngest son. The two people of similar age had a mutual affection, but because of the identity gap, they had to hide it. "

Xie Lingyue frowned, "You actually have the same last name as me."

"At the same time, Mrs. Xie, who was jealous, hated Hua Feng. She noticed that Hua Feng was in a state like a pregnant girl, so she thought that Hua Feng was having an affair with a servant."

"Mrs. Xie sent someone to secretly observe Hua Feng, hoping to catch evidence of her cheating. Unexpectedly, it was her youngest son who had a private meeting with Hua Feng at night."

"Mrs. Xie was so angry that she wanted to tie up Hua Feng and sink her into the river. But she didn't dare to let Mr. Xie know about it, so she imprisoned Hua Feng underground first and lied that she was sick."

"While Hua Feng was imprisoned, many strange things gradually happened in this house. Hua Feng also saw the ghosts living in this house..."

Bai Qiuye said: "In the introduction, there is a point——"

Xie Lingyue and Xia Zizuo said in unison: "Underground?!"

Xie Lingyue said: "It seems that the crew really found the secret door, and they also used the basement for filming."

Xia Zizuo said: "This Hua Feng is the heroine of this drama."

The three of them thought about what happened to the first actress chosen to be Hua Feng, and they were silent for a moment.

Bai Qiuye asked: "Don't you think that the story told by the woman just now is similar to the story filmed by the crew?"

"It's all related to marriage." Xie Lingyue nodded and said, "And it's an unequal marriage relationship."

"Let's go back first. We have already heard a lot of information." Xia Zizuo said, "I don't know what Su Yun and the other three have investigated."

The three of them walked back from the office of the film and television city. Bai Qiuye suddenly stopped and looked at a hotel on the edge of the film and television city.

Bai Qiuye asked: "Does Director Wang live here?"

"What do you want to do?" Xia Zizhuo glanced at her warily, "Director Wang is our employer. If you hurt him, it will be against the rules. You can't mess around."

"What are you talking about? How could I hurt him?" Bai Qiuye said, "I'm just curious about how he wrote our script."

Xie Lingyue said hesitantly: "For the next shooting, you should restrain yourself a little. I feel that Director Wang has a lot of opinions on you."

Xia Zizuo heard this and said: "It's not just an opinion, he is already full of resentment."

Bai Qiuye thought deeply and said, "I'm afraid it's no longer a problem that I can solve by restraining myself."

Xie Lingyue thought: "Then how do you want to solve it?"

The three of them returned to the studio, and there was still an hour left before the next shooting.

Su Yun and the others haven't come back yet, and there are only a few housekeepers on site eating leftover lunch boxes.

Xiao Zhang walked in from the door, holding a stack of A4 paper in his hand. When he saw Bai Qiuye and the others had returned, his eyes lit up and he walked over.

"Here, a new script is out." Xiao Zhang said, handing one to Bai Qiuye from the pile of scripts.

Bai Qiuye took it and felt that the script was still slightly hot. It must have been printed just now.

The other two also received their own scripts.

"How is your script?" Xia Zizuo asked after reading the script, "I seem to have more roles."

"I have fewer." Xie Lingyue's face turned pale, "Maybe my performance in the last game was not very good."

The two of them turned to look at Bai Qiuye's script and found that the script Bai Qiuye got this time actually had three pages.

"Director Wang actually added so many scenes for you?" Xia Zi took a closer look and said, "Wait a minute, why don't you have time for improvisation?"

Although he only glanced at it, he found that Bai Qiuye's script did not have the iconic ellipsis at the end.

The ellipsis represents the beginning of improvisation time, which is a crisis for them.

But improvisation time is also an essential part, otherwise they can only perform the whole play like dominated puppets.

Bai Qiuye lowered his head and read the script from the beginning: "Yes, there is no improvisation time in my script."

"If we all enter the impromptu performance time and you continue to perform the copy alone, then-" Xie Lingyue said, "Do you want to break away from us and act alone until the end of this scene?"

"That's the case. I don't have any objections." Bai Qiuye handed the script to them, "But the ending has already been written in my script."

The two took the script and took a look at it, and were immediately dumbfounded.

In this script, Director Wang restricted Bai Qiuye's actions in every detail.

Until the end of the script, Director Wang directly gave Bai Qiuye a bad ending.

From every word in the script, you can feel Director Wang's targeting.

Director Wang's desire to have her die during filming has already jumped off the page.

"Congratulations, Miss Bai, your status has been promoted from a supporting actor to a leading actor." Xiao Zhang said to the side without being confused, "You will have the most scenes in the next scene among all the people."

"This blessing is for you, do you want it?" Bai Qiuye said.

Xiao Zhang's face froze and he stepped aside.

"What are you going to do?" Xie Lingyue asked, "There is absolutely no room for flexibility in your script, even if you want to change the plot."
