He walked to the mirror in the corner of the room and looked at the black and white photos hanging on the wall.

Li Yaohui followed closely and continued shooting, framing the photo, Xu Hengzhou and Xu Hengzhou in the mirror in his lens.

Xu Hengzhou took a look at the large photo that filled the entire photo frame.

This is his dad.

Take another look at the small photo in the lower right corner of the frame.

This is his brother.

Suddenly he said: "My brother was arrested as a gangster by the police station in 1986. My father hung him from a tree and beat him." - and then beat him to death.

Xu Hengzhou's words stopped here.

The scene under Li Yaohui's lens also stayed here.

According to the settings in the script, the next scene is tomorrow morning.

But the director still didn't call for a break.

Xu Hengzhou:......

He had an unknown premonition.

Director Han Jie ignored Xu Hengzhou, who was standing there, and instead said to the surrounding staff: "It's done, it's done, let's go eat quickly."

finally!

The staff dispersed in a hurry to grab lunch boxes.

Director Han Jie said to Xiao Liu who took a few steps forward: "Xiao Liu, make a meal for Xu Hengzhou, pour it all into a bowl, and then deliver it to Xu Hengzhou on camera later.

Go, you can’t send it directly, you can just think of a more reliable character to play, and then send it over.”

Xiao Liu was silent.

Xiao Liu is thinking.

Xiao Liu really wants to know how to come up with a reliable character.

But she really couldn't raise any objection, after all, she was just a small director's assistant.

The director had to tell me what it was.

Xu Hengzhou began to be in a daze on the spot again.

He stared at himself in the mirror, and the more he looked at it, the stranger he felt.

The more I look at it, the more I feel like I am no longer myself.

It felt like the scene was about to move in a strange direction, and a cold voice that was not familiar, but hard to forget after hearing it, came: "Your elder brother asked me to deliver food to you, and thank you for the money you sent him.

"

Xu Hengzhou:???

Send money.

Still burning money.

He turned around quietly, took the bowl from Xiao Liu's hand, looked at the steaming, fragrant food inside, and thanked him sincerely: "Sister-in-law, thank brother for me."

Although Shu’s eldest brother died long ago.

He also has no sister-in-law.

Xiao Liu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xu Hengzhou had taken over the scene, and the next actions became much smoother.

She handed another manuscript to Xu Hengzhou: "Your brother gave it to you to learn some culture. He was thinking about you and wanted you to make a difference."

The corner of Xu Hengzhou's mouth twitched slightly. He took the manuscript and flipped it over casually. It turned out to be the script he had expected.

Xiao Liu completed the two tasks assigned to him by the director and quickly turned around to appear on camera.

Obviously I wasn't nervous at all when I was acting before, so why do I feel like I'm on the same page now when I'm in the camera?

Weird!

Xu Hengzhou wanted to laugh when he saw Xiao Liu's back, which looked like he was desperate and running away no matter how he looked at it.

But the good professionalism he developed during this period still allowed him to hold back his laughter and remain silent.

He went to the house to find a pair of chopsticks, used a feather duster to sweep the dust on the threshold, sat directly on it, and started eating towards the outside of the yard.

Hey, it smells so good!

After finishing the meal, he washed the bowl again.

Then he continued to stand in the yard in a daze.

Xu Hengzhou actually realized what the director wanted him to do at this time.

He thought about the next scene in the script, opened the script Xiao Liu gave him, and confirmed it again.

I had an idea in my mind.

Xu Hengzhou looked up at the sky and sighed quietly.

He walked up to the outside of the courtyard.

He won't sleep tonight!

If Xu Hengzhou doesn't sleep, the crew won't stay with him.

Director Han Jie asked the staff to go off work for lunch and did not continue to ask them to work overtime at night. He directly asked them to go back to their respective rooms to sleep.

Jia Zhangke left because of urgent matters as early as the moment Xu Hengzhou got on Xiaozhuang's motorcycle and left.

Therefore, Director Han Jie is now the most authoritative person in the entire crew.

It's whatever he says.

Li Yaohui didn't plan to follow Xu Hengzhou for filming late at night. He planned to go to bed early tonight and recharge his batteries to prepare for the scene tomorrow morning.

Director Han Jie himself did not intend to stay here, but he left Xiao Liu behind:

"You look at the camera here and keep an eye on Xu Hengzhou. If he wants to walk around at night, just walk with him for a while.

I’ll give you this little video recorder. If you find any interesting footage, just take it.”

Xiao Liu was caught off guard and took the video recorder handed to him by Director Han Jie, and heard him say again:

"But don't wander out too late. If Xu Hengzhou doesn't go to bed, just let him stay in front of the camera and continue to be in a daze.

Then you can also go to bed early.

As for the shots you took, I will save them for now and show them to you when I have time."

"Okay!" Xiao Liu tightened his grip on the slightly cool video recorder in his hand, but his heart seemed to be on fire.

Xu Hengzhou ate and drank enough, took a walk in the evening breeze, and felt comfortable all over.

But my heart felt unusually depressed.

This is not his own psychology.

It's the tree's psychological state.

He had hallucinations today.

I saw a fire.

I also saw the figure beside the fire, I don’t know if it was my father or my brother.

He couldn't help but think back to that winter again.

His brother was hung from a tree and beaten to death by his father.

And he stood not far from the big tree and watched.

It's hard to calm down and let go.

Xiao Liu stared closely at Xu Hengzhou in front of him, who was exuding an air of depression.

But she could never find the scene she wanted to take.

Because she was so focused, she didn't notice the raised stone slab under her feet. She tripped and fell forward in an instant.

When Xu Hengzhou heard the exclamation behind him, he also heard a shrill scream coming from the direction to the right.

In an instant, he was shocked and his whole body froze.

Xiao Liu fell to the ground and hissed, but he had no time to feel the pain. He quickly got up and walked slightly closer to Xu Hengzhou. He looked in the direction where the cry came from and looked nervous.

I've been in Xiaqiu for many days, and I don't know much about anything else. I've heard a lot about ghosts and ghosts.

This is such a miserable scream...

Xiao Liu took two more steps towards Xu Hengzhou.

Xu Hengzhou sensed that Xiao Liu was fine, so he didn't talk to her and walked towards the direction of the shrill scream just now.

Xiao Liu opened his thin lips slightly, closed them again, pursed them, and followed Xu Hengzhou silently, searching for the source of the sound together.
