Along with the ending song, the subtitle list slowly rose.

…
As the end credits, which were almost three-quarters occupied by the name Lin Zheng, ended, the lights in the theater finally came on.
The three-hour first day screening was finally halfway over.
Next, the main creative staff came on stage to be interviewed by reporters and film critics, and shared their creative ideas and experiences.
This is also the most important link. Now, you can tell a little bit about the reputation and evaluation of the movie.
“Good evening to all film critics, media and journalist friends, and to all the audiences present!
Welcome to the screening of the latest film "The Ghost Story" by talented director Lin Zheng, my country's cutting-edge comedy ghost film.
Next, let us first welcome Director Lin and the main creative staff of the film to the stage!"
As the host finished his introduction, the audience burst into applause.
Then, a group of people slowly walked out from the backstage.
Walking at the front was Lin Zheng, who was 1.8 meters tall and wearing a tall black suit.
Following him was Liang Chi, who was also wearing a suit and looked slightly nervous.
Then came Lin Manyu, who was wearing a dress and exquisite makeup. Although she was nervous, she was more excited and expectant.
As well as Teacher Chen, and several staff members from Secret Media.
As for Zhang Xirou, she continued to practice with Xiaomi in the background.
In this movie, she only served as the action director, and she also collaborated with Lin Zheng.
In addition, she doesn't like to appear in public in the first place, so naturally she won't go on stage.
Lin Zheng had a smile on his handsome face, and his clear eyes could not conceal his excitement and anxiety.
After all, this is the first time his movie has appeared on the big screen and entered theaters in a serious way.
Moreover, as soon as it came up, there was such a high-end screening.
Naturally, I will feel a little uneasy.
However, although he was worried, he was not worried at all.
I was backstage before, but I couldn't see the expressions of the audience.
But as the plot of the movie progresses, the laughter and screams that come from time to time cannot be fake!
After a little getting used to the lighting in front of the studio, Lin Zheng finally had a panoramic view of all the scenes under the stage.
The directors and actors of the national team sitting in the first row looked very energetic, with smiles on their faces. Several of them nodded constantly, looking very satisfied.
The film critics in the second row were also in high spirits and could not hide their excitement.
The audience behind them continued to applaud and scream.
At this time, the media reporters holding pens and papers gathered around from behind, looking extremely enthusiastic, as if they had prepared countless questions.
Lin Zheng was a little flattered by such a huge battle.
Next to them, the staff held several microphones and handed them to them.
But Lin Zheng had never experienced such a big scene, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, the host arranged by Secret Media has excellent field control skills.
First, Lin Zheng and others were arranged to introduce themselves.
Then, he asked some interesting things about the filming of the movie and Lin Zheng's various simple thoughts to lighten the atmosphere.
Lin Zheng and the others had already rehearsed these questions, so they answered them very smoothly.
Basically nothing wrong with it.
And next, comes the most important part.
Audiences’ viewing experience and questions for the creative staff!
"Perhaps you don't know that today, in addition to the film critics, media friends, and the audience, there are also several very important guests who came to our screening of "The Ghost Story"!"
The host turned his head, looked at the audience, and said loudly: "Let me ask them to say hello to everyone.
First of all, it’s our director Wang Baijing!”
The scene immediately burst into applause. Although director Wang Baijing has made many bad movies, he also has many best-selling movies.
Although he is nearly 70 years old now, he is still active in the film and television industry.
“Next, it’s our director Xu Zhenke!
and our famous comedian Zhou Mengxing,
And Shen Haojian!"
The host introduced them one by one. The two directors and actors here today are both great masters in comedy.
The audience popularity and reputation in Daxia Kingdom are also excellent.
As soon as the names of several people appeared, there was fierce applause and cheers.
It was several times more lively than when Lin Zheng and the others came on stage.
This fully proves how popular they are.
Several people stood up from their seats and said hello to everyone.
Then, the host invited the four people to the stage. Then, he stood next to Wang Baijing and asked respectfully: "Director Wang, I wonder how you felt after watching the movie. Is there anything you can tell us, all the creative staff, and
The audience in the audience, did you share it?"
Wang Baijing took the microphone and said with a smile: "I thought I was already very good at making comedies. I have made hundreds of movies, half of which were comedies.
I used to even think that all comedies have been shot by me, and no matter how other directors shoot them, they are all things I have used.
But today, "The Ghost Story" gave me a surprise.
This is something new that I have never used and never imagined. More importantly, it looks good!
As a movie, the word "good-looking" is enough to describe it.
Director Lin Zheng is indeed a very talented director. This movie is also very novel and very realistic. I can't compare to the action scenes in it. It can even... be compared to other movies I have seen.
, ranked in the top three.
I heard that director Lin Zheng has a few more movies, I will definitely watch them in the future!"
After saying that, director Wang Baijing dragged his somewhat plump body over and shook hands with Lin Zheng seriously.
Lin Zheng was very happy to receive such generous praise from a big man, and he immediately extended his hand.
But out of conscience, he still quietly reminded: "Director Wang, if you want to watch my previous movies, it's best not to watch the first three."
When Wang Baijing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately made an expression that he understood. After shaking hands with Liang Chi and others, he walked back to his original position.
Next, the second director Xu Zhenke said: "This is really an excellent movie. Although the story is a bit simple, the subject matter is very novel.
I'm actually a timid person, but after reading this, I'm not afraid of ghosts anymore!
This form of comedy ghost film is really unheard of and unseen. I want to make it. In the future, I may ask Director Lin for advice."
Then came comedian Zhou Mengxing: "I'm not very good at talking, so I won't say that much. I just want to ask, Director Lin, if you have any dramas in the future, you can consider me. I'm very good at comedy!" "
Drama actor Shen Haojian: "As you all know, I just became our first tens of billions movie king today. I originally planned to wash my hands and stop filming.
But after watching this movie, I felt a sense of crisis.
Self-filming, directing, acting, and writing... one person almost took care of the whole production of the movie.
I can't even imagine what kind of person can do this.
As long as Director Lin continues filming for one more day, I feel that my position as the billionaire actor will not be stable.
There is no other way, just keep doing it, Director Lin. If there is a new movie in the future, I will also be considered. Although I am a junior, my worth is low, and I can also bring money to join the team."
The best thing a director can say about another director is learning.
The best thing an actor can say about a director is that he comes to me when he has a job.
And today, both appeared!
Two great directors, and two almost the most famous comedians in Daxia.
All of them gave very genuine praise to the movie "The Ghost Story".
But more than anything else, the praise was given to director Lin Zheng.
After each of these four people finished speaking, there would be extremely warm applause.
After all four people finished speaking, the applause and cheers from the audience couldn't stop.
And part of the applause and cheers this time are for Lin Zheng, "The Ghost Story" and other main creative staff.
Lin Zheng and others immediately expressed their most sincere thanks to the four people.
After the host saw the four people off the stage and left.
Next, it’s time for film critics.
The first film critic: "Director Lin, my ID is Be Calm. You may not know me, but I know you. I have been watching your movies for a long time, even "Kunchiyan" Yes, can you prove your identity as an old fan?"
When Lin Zheng heard this, he immediately reacted: "I know you, you are the black one..."
The words "anti-fan" almost came out of his mouth. Fortunately, Lin Zheng reacted in time and changed his words: "Friends who like to comment in the dark, I have read many of your comments in the background."
However, Congrong still heard what Lin Zheng meant, laughed slightly awkwardly, and then continued: "That's all in the past. Now, I am your die-hard fan. The three movies you made before are indeed a bit scary. , it scared me. Here, I would also like to remind everyone present not to watch the first three movies directed by Lin Zheng. They are very scary.
Secondly, Director Lin, I only have one question, which is... with such a wonderful fighting scene, do you really know Kung Fu?"
"Of course, our directors are experts! Director, show them your skills!" Liang Chi actively shared Lin Zheng's advantages with everyone.
Lin Zheng has some idol baggage, and he is also wearing a suit, so he can't move, and some don't want to move.
But at this time, there was already applause from the audience, and with the first screening, it can be called a complete success, and I also got to know four old artists.
Since you are so happy, there is no harm in showing your hand.
So Lin Zheng reluctantly sent a crow to fly, jumping four meters high. If the height of the studio was not limited, it could be even higher.
This kind of scene, which can only appear in movies, actually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, the scene immediately erupted into increasingly violent cheers and applause.
Then, the next film critic: "This movie is simply a masterpiece!"
Next film critic: "My sister was originally very afraid of ghosts, but after watching Director Lin's movie, she even dared to sleep alone. Based on this alone, I will be a fan of Director Lin for the rest of my life!"
The next film critic: "The Mighty Dragon, the Dharma Mantra, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Bama Boom! Haha, Director Lin, are you accepting a disciple?"
The next film critic: "Director Lin's action scenes are top-notch in the world. Director Lin, making this kind of comedy movie will hinder your development and performance. When will you make some martial arts or fairy movies with more action scenes?"
Yes, of course, the quality of "The Ghost Story" is still excellent. I have to say that Director Lin has created a brand new theme!"
…
Most film critics are pretty normal, but there are a few who feel like they are just chasing stars.
Wait until almost 30 film critics have finished asking questions.
Lin Zheng only received two negative reviews, and they were all about the actor's acting skills.
Moreover, I'm not criticizing their performance in the movie, I'm just saying that acting too authentically may affect their future development and so on.
In other words, this first screening almost ended with pure praise.
When the reporters finished their interviews and the screening officially ended, Lin Zheng had not yet reacted.
On the way back, these good reviews kept echoing in his mind. For a moment, he couldn't believe it. He asked Liang Chi and others around him: "Is my movie... really as good as they say?"
Liang Chi was stunned: "What else?"
Lin Zheng thought: "I always feel that it is too...successful. Are they deliberately giving me face? Because of the mysterious media."
Everyone began to think deeply.
After a while, Teacher Chen took the lead and said: "I don't think so. These older generation artists all have their own persistence. If they say so, then the movie must be good."
Liang Chi also nodded: "Yes, and there are those film critics. These people will never care about your face. The official has also made movies with the main theme before, and these film critics have criticized them very much, so even if
They give us face only because our movie is good."
"That's right, didn't two film critics say they didn't like it?"
"But that... doesn't seem to be a bad review."
"No matter, today is the first day anyway. There will be two more screenings after that. Let's see what happens in the next two."
After listening to the analysis of his friends, Lin Zheng also nodded and put down his random thoughts.
In fact, Lin Zheng's idea was not entirely wrong.
Wang Baijing and other directors and actors did give him face and deliberately said nice things.
But this is not to give face to Secret Media, but the Actors Association and Directors Association asked them to support Lin Zheng, a junior.
As for the film critics, they all expressed their sincere opinions.
Lin Zheng's ability has actually been improving all the time, coupled with strengths that other movies simply cannot match, and the help of the mysterious media.
The overall viewing experience of "The Ghost Story" is indeed excellent.
In addition, he is a director who takes care of everything and has unique skills, which is indeed enough to attract fans.
Of course, the more important thing is that the film critics who came to the screening this time were actually specially selected by Secret Media.
Basically, they are all fans of Lin Zheng.
The purpose of the Blade of Destruction is to protect Lin Zheng, stop Lin Zheng from running around, and also help Lin Zheng promote the movie.
It's not like he was specifically trying to cause trouble for Lin Zheng.
Moreover, they will definitely recommend this movie and try to let everyone see it.
Even if you can't learn the abilities in the movie, you can still gain some courage.
So, of course, there is no need to specifically find some anti-fans.
This is not only true today, but also true in the next two days.
But this also shows that Lin Zheng's movies are indeed good enough.
If it was really a trashy movie, there would never be so many fans and critics.
…
Lin Zheng's departure did make Tongtong feel a little sad.
After all, in the next few days, Xiaomi would not be playing with him, and there would be no new snacks to eat.
But Tongtong has a "child" mentality after all, and will not be sentimental forever.
This sadness only lasted less than a day and then began to disappear gradually.
The next day, he was completely forgotten about it.
September 29th is the second day of screening of "The Ghost Story".
After finishing breakfast, Tongtong watched TV at home all morning, and after having lunch, he took a few bags of snacks, said goodbye to his grandfather, and went out to play.
Although other children don't like him and don't want to play with him.
But most of the big brothers, big sisters, uncles and aunts around the Liyue community still like him.
Tongtong ran out along the alley where he first met Lin Zheng, but when he reached the entrance of the alley, he couldn't help but stop.
Because there is a weirdo squatting right at the entrance of the alley!
It was an adult with messy hair, which was very long and almost draped over his shoulders. It had obviously not been washed for a long time. The clothes on his body were also full of stains. He looked dirty and a little thin.
The whole person looks very much like a lunatic who often appeared on the streets more than ten years ago.
So of course Tongtong felt a little scared.
Tongtong stared closely at the weird man, slowly moved behind him, and after moving far away, he immediately accelerated and ran out.
Have fun around the Liyue community that you are familiar with.
In fact, except for those naughty kids who often bullied him, the people around the community were very kind and treated their fellow students very well.
It is precisely because of this that he goes out often.
And this time, the whole afternoon passed.
In the evening, when the sun was about to set, Tongtong finally walked towards this alley from a distance.
Get ready to go home.
But when he was still more than a hundred meters away from the alley, he stopped again.
Because the weird man who used to squat in the alley during the day is still there now!
Although it seems to have changed its location slightly, it is still firmly blocking the entrance of the alley.
Why is he always there?
What is he doing?
Tongtong thought to himself, couldn't help but slow down and quietly continued to move forward.
At this moment, a child suddenly ran past in front of him, holding a balloon in his hand.
The moment the weirdo saw the child, he suddenly stood up and waved, using a strange tone of Daxia dialect and shouted with a smile: "Children, come and play with your brother."
But the child, perhaps anxious to go home for dinner, just turned his head, glanced at him, and then ran away directly.
I have no intention of playing with that weirdo.
Tongtong looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel emotional.
Over the years, he has made such requests to children "of the same age" countless times.
But in most cases, they are rejected. If the situation is worse, they will be like the three naughty children who were dealt with by Lin Zheng before.
Maybe it's the feeling of sympathy for the same person, maybe it's seeing that the other person can communicate normally and is not as scary as a madman.
All in all, Tongtong felt a little sympathy for the weird man squatting at the alley.
At the same time, other thoughts could not help but appear in his mind.
Has this person been here all day?
Didn't he go home?
Didn't you eat either?
He looked so pitiful, and no one had washed his clothes.
Tongtong couldn't help but put his hand into his pocket, and there was still a packet of milk and bread inside.
I want to be brave!
Tongtong thought to himself, mustered up his courage, quickened his pace, and walked towards the weirdo.
He walked behind the other party, took out the bread from his pocket, and lightly tapped the other party's shoulder:
"Hello, do you want to eat this?"
Kawayama Xiajia was immediately startled by the touch on his shoulder and the sound.
He turned around and looked at Tongtong in front of him with wide eyes, a look of panic on his face. After seeing the bread in Tongtong's hand, he felt a little relieved.
He pointed to the bread and asked in broken Daxia dialect: "Is this... for me?"
Tongtong nodded with an innocent smile on his face. Being able to help others made him feel very happy.
Chuanshan Xiajia tentatively took the bread and felt relieved when he saw that Tongtong didn't stop him but just giggled.
Then, he immediately took two steps back and bowed deeply towards Tongtong: "Thank you so much, thank you very much!"
He said, and then repeated it in the island Mandarin.
After saying that, he immediately tore open the package and stuffed it into his mouth.
Chuanshan Xiajia is indeed hungry!
During this time, he had been thinking about how to kill people, how to use more blood, and promote the feeding plan. He was in fear almost every day and never had a good meal at all.
But because he was not a strong person to begin with, he was also short.
He also succeeded in attacking the two previous partners through sneak attacks, and he also suffered some minor injuries.
Therefore, as an adult who is more mature physically and intellectually, there is naturally nothing he can do.
You can only target children who are easier to deceive and less able to resist.
So far, he has succeeded twice.
He was responsible for all the missing children in the two old communities mentioned by Zhang Chengmin before.
At the same time, because the child's body is too small and the amount of blood is small, he has to kill more people and get more blood.
Therefore, naturally it cannot be discovered casually.
Therefore, he usually changes places after one shot.
Moreover, we specifically selected these older areas because the camera coverage here is not that complete.
To ensure his safety as much as possible.
Liyue Community is Chuanshan Xiajia's third target.
Although this place is relatively close to the Law Enforcement Bureau, he feels that the most dangerous place may be the safest place.
Now the law enforcement officers of the Law Enforcement Bureau must have had a headache due to the two cases he committed before, and they have focused their attention on those two communities.
But at this time, when he comes here, the people from the Law Enforcement Bureau will definitely not be able to find him.
In the past two days, he had almost figured out the surrounding environment and roughly knew where the cameras were.
He also planned his escape route after achieving his goal.
Naturally, Tongtong didn't know that the person in front of him was actually a dangerous person from the island country or a murderer.
Of course, he couldn't understand the island Mandarin, but from what Chuanshan said before Xiajia, he could still tell that the other party was thanking him.
At this time, seeing Chuanshan Xiajia eating very quickly, Tongtong smiled even more happily.
He scratched his head in embarrassment: "Grandpa said that you should help others.
By the way, brother, why do you stay here all day? Where is your home?"
Tongtong also heard that the other party's Daxia dialect was a bit lame, but out of politeness, he did not care about this problem.
Chuanshan Xiajia was originally a little afraid of Tongtong. After all, in terms of size, Tongtong looked much stronger than him.
But at this time, after hearing Tongtong say a few more words, Chuanshanxiajia immediately realized the problem.
He looked at his colleagues in front of him, was silent for a moment, and then asked: "My home is far away. I came here specifically to play. What about you?"
"My home is right here. It's only ten minutes' walk over there. Brother, what are you playing here? We can play together!" Tongtong immediately became happy, stamped his feet and clapped his hands.
He was relatively lonely to begin with. Due to his own reasons, he had never had any playmates over the years, although it was not apparent on the surface.
But Tongtong is indeed a very lonely child who needs friends very much.
At this time, when it comes to playing, his childish nature is completely uncontrollable.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Kawayama Xiajia also completely understood the terrifying-looking adult in front of him.
In fact...he is simply a retard!
There was a hint of joy in his eyes, and at the same time, there was also a strong murderous intention.
If you are mentally retarded, it will be easy to deceive.
Moreover, this adult's body definitely contains more blood than two children.
I made a profit this time!
Chuanshan Xiajia immediately speeded up and ate all the bread in his hand.
Then, he came close to Tongtong and said in broken Daxia dialect: "Shall you go to my house with your brother to play? My house is very fun. There are animations, game consoles, and many, many delicious foods."
His tone and voice had changed and were full of temptation.
But after hearing this, Tongtong immediately frowned, and then shook his head hesitantly: "Brother, your home is so far away. It takes a long time to walk there. It's too late now. If I go back too late,
Chi, grandpa will be anxious."
Naturally, Tongtong was not wary, he really felt that it was too late.
Moreover, Chuanshan Xiajia also said just now that his home is far away.
But after refusing, Tongtong was a little embarrassed, so he quickly added: "We can go to your house to play tomorrow!"
Chuanshan Xiajia smiled stiffly, but felt a little anxious in his heart.
Are you kidding me?
The longer the time, the greater the risk.
And what if someone sees me tomorrow?
He glanced around a few times. There was no one on the street at this time, which was a perfect opportunity.
He doesn't want to have long nights and lots of dreams.
Must succeed now.
After a moment, Chuanshan Xiajia's expression changed, and then his face suddenly turned down, making an expression as if he was about to cry, and said pitifully: "Actually, I lied to you!
I came out because I had a fight with my parents and they lost my most beloved kitten."
"Kitten?" Tongtong immediately widened his eyes and screamed.
Chuanshan Xiajia's heart moved, and he nodded crazily: "Yes, it is still so small. If it is thrown out, you don't know what will happen. There will be nothing to eat and no place to sleep..."
Kawayama Xiajia kept describing this fictitious, lost kitten, deliberately making it very miserable.
When Tongtong listened to these words, Xiaomi's appearance immediately appeared in his mind.
Although the black cat was not cute at all when playing with him, it often had a cold and disgusting expression and was unwilling to even open its eyes.
However, he still likes Xiaomi very much.
The little cat's fur is very soft, and its smell is very good. The little paws are soft and very comfortable to step on.
If the little cat is also thrown away, there will be no food, no water to drink, and no place to sleep.
How pitiful that would be...
Seeing Tongtong's expression, Chuanshan Xiajia was even more sure that this method was effective. He couldn't help but increase his efforts and continued: "Can you help me look for it? If I can find it, I will give it to you. Instead,
, my parents don’t let me raise her at home.”
Tongtong's eyes immediately widened, and there was unconcealable joy in his eyes: "Give it to me? Really?"
"Really!" Chuanshan Xiajia said, "He is nearby. I have looked for it and saw its footprints, but I really can't find it by myself. Please help me find it.
Bar……"
Chuanshan Xiajia kept talking, saying this and that, but there was only one ultimate goal.
Let Tongtong leave with him.
Tongtong was originally a very kind person and loved small animals very much. After getting to know Xiaomi, this became even more true.
In addition, it is difficult for Chuanshan to refuse others when he has taken a look at Tongtong. He will do anything to the extreme and even kneel on the ground.
Tongtong was so frightened that he immediately pulled him up from the ground, and finally agreed to help him find the cat.
But he proposed that he should go home before the sun sets.
Of course, Chuanshan Xiajia had no objection. His face was filled with gratitude, and then he began to bow crazily to thank him.
But his eyes were full of coldness.
Chuanshan Xiajia led the way, walking along a route without cameras to the small woods where Lin Zheng and Zhang Xirou often went for morning exercises.
Tongtong followed closely behind.
"By the way, brother, what's the name of that kitten?"
"Oh, I call it little angel. It is a pure white cat. It is very cute and as beautiful as an angel."
"Little angel... so good! Hehe."
…
An eight thousand word chapter!
By the way, yesterday's chapter missed some foreshadowing. Zhang Chengmin mentioned to the protagonist that two children were missing and were under investigation, so it has been filled in.
As long as the big guys know about it, there is no need to go back and see it.
It's the last day of this month. Guys, please vote for me with your monthly votes...
