Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1526 Going to Director Wang’s Film Set

When she woke up the next day, Chi Shuyan thought that the calls from last night had been a dream. However, when she picked up her phone and scrolled through the call history, she found that there were indeed many calls from an unfamiliar number.

Chi Shuyan’s heart jumped as she stared fixedly at the numerous missed calls. Fortunately, she had turned off her phone last night, or she could forget about sleeping well.

Chi Shuyan was afraid of being harassed by these calls again, so she hurriedly blocked the number before she relaxed.

She got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, she went downstairs. However, Chef Li wasn’t around today, so Chi Shuyan could only go out and buy breakfast from some shop. On the way to school, her phone rang again. Chi Shuyan paused. At first, she thought it was from the unfamiliar number. When she took out her phone and saw that it was a familiar number, she heaved a sigh of relief and picked up the call.

Director Wang’s solicitous and familiar voice quickly rang out. “Master, Master Chi, it’s me, it’s Wang Zhen. Master, I don’t know if you’re free today, but I’ve already confirmed the filming location. Master, can you come and help me take a look at the feng shui?”

After what happened in Dashan Village, Director Wang was now once bitten, twice shy. He was willing to spend a little more money and time to get the Master to check the feng shui of the filming location before he could relax. It wasn’t just Director Wang; Ruan Shenglin, Song Yanru, Yan Zhengming, Yang Kun and the others felt the same.

Although Director Wang had long informed them to start work, no one dared to rush and start work before Master Chi looked at the feng shui of the place.

Chi Shuyan didn’t forget that she had agreed to Director Wang’s request to look at feng shui. If it was the weekend, she really wouldn’t be free. The other party’s luck was good since she could still find time today. Chi Shuyan immediately agreed. “Okay, I’ll go take a look at noon after class!”

“Okay! Okay! Master Chi, thank you so much! Thank you so much!” Director Wang was excited. Although Master Chi had promised to help look at feng shui, Director Wang was afraid that she might have forgotten. So, when she agreed to come over at noon, Director Wang was quite excited.

On set, Director Wang rambled on and on and said a lot of nice things. When it was almost time for Chi Shuyan to go to class, Director Wang reluctantly hung up.

Director Wang had been quite loud on the phone just now. Many actors and handymen heard him invite someone to take a look at the feng shui on set, and saw his obsequious appearance. This was the first time they had seen such an obsequious and enthusiastic Director Wang.

As for Ruan Shenglin, Song Chu, Yan Zhengming and Song Yanru, they were completely relieved after listening to Director Wang. It was good that the Master would be coming.

To be honest, Ruan Shenglin, Song Chu, Yan Zhengming and Song Yanru had gone to see a psychologist. They also bought a lot of life-saving talismans from the Master’s shop. They weren’t as scared as they had been in Dashan Village before, as if they were facing a great enemy.

The Master had said before that the odds of running into a ghost were fairly low. They had just relaxed, when they found out a few days later that a horror movie was being filmed next door.

This discovery ignited the fear in the hearts of Director Wang and the others.

If it weren’t for the huge losses he would incur, Director Wang would have switched to another filming location. As for the horror movie, it was simply too scary and dangerous, especially after what Director Wang, Ruan Shenglin and the others had experienced in Dashan Village. They knew that there really were ghosts in this world, so every time they heard someone talk about the horror movie being filmed next door, their hearts pounded and their legs turned to jelly.

Fortunately, Director Wang had been quick to invite the Master over to take a look at the feng shui on set. Thinking of how they would be able to see Master Chi in the afternoon, Ruan Shenglin and the others were both very expectant and nervous.

After buying a lot of good stuff from the Master’s shop, everyone once again firmly believed that she was a true expert.

The morning was filled with scenes of the main leads, Ruan Shenglin and Song Yanru, and the filming went smoothly. Director Wang stopped filming at 11am, and got ready to personally receive the Master.

The new assistant director and producer on the side were simply speechless and helpless at Director Wang inviting a Master over today and stopping work early for it.

The producer, who was surnamed Fei, came over and tried to communicate with Director Wang, telling him to film a little longer and save some money. Director Wang waved his hand and chased him away. “Go, go, go… I still have a serious matter to attend to later.”

Producer Fei could guess what this ‘serious matter’ was. The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely as he advised earnestly, “Director Wang, the crew filming the horror movie next door didn’t invite anyone to look at feng shui – why do we have to? Isn’t that a waste of money?”

Producer Fei was quite rich but very stingy. He couldn’t wait for Director Wang to wrap up filming as soon as possible every day. Thinking of how Director Wang would be spending a lot of money on checking the feng shui, Producer Fei’s heart ached.

Director Wang simply ignored Producer Fei in front of him. Even if he didn’t have the money to film, he had to have the money to hire the Master to look at the feng shui, okay? Running into evil was really too scary!

Before the Master checked the feng shui, he couldn’t film properly, and constantly felt on edge.

Director Wang ignored Producer Fei. There wasn’t any restaurant nearby, so he simply called his assistant to find someone to help cook a dozen good dishes on set. He didn’t dare neglect the Master, and instructed Yang Kun, Ruan Shenglin, Song Yanru, and Yan Zhengming not to eat lunch later. When the time came, everyone would eat with the Master.

When Chi Shuyan arrived, the dishes were almost done. Director Wang, Ruan Shenglin and the others personally went to the entrance of the set to welcome her – those who didn’t know better would think that they were welcoming some big shot.

Those who didn’t know better at first really thought that some big shot or investor had come to their set. Not long after, they saw Director Wang, Film Emperor Ruan, Film Empress Song and the managers flock around a young lady. Many of the newbies’ jaws dropped in shock and disbelief.

Seeing Director Wang, Film Emperor Ruan, Film Empress Song and the managers, who were each more enthusiastic and solicitous than the last, take the initiative to talk to the young lady in the middle, many of the newbies in the film crew were even more flabbergasted. When Producer Fei and the new assistant director saw this scene, their eyes almost popped out!

How come they didn’t know that Director Wang and the others had such good dispositions?

Director Wang, Ruan Shenglin, Song Yanru, Yang Kun and Yan Zhengming didn’t care what the rest of the crew thought as they eagerly invited Master Chi into the tent for lunch.

Chi Shuyan was used to getting down to business first, so she said, “I’m not hungry. Why don’t I take a look at the feng shui on set for Director Wang first?”

Director Wang couldn’t wait for Master Chi to immediately help take a look at the feng shui. He relaxed, but still said, “Master, are you hungry? Why don’t you eat first? There’s no hurry to take a look at the feng shui!”

Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun, Yang Zhengming and the others immediately echoed Director Wang. Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything, but simply asked Director Wang to show her around.

Since Master Chi had already said so much, Director Wang didn’t argue anymore. He hurriedly led her around the set, accompanied by Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun, Yan Zhengming, Song Yanru and the others.

Chi Shuyan looked around the set and didn’t see any major problems. In short, although the set which Director Wang had chosen this time was also a little remote, it was still close to the capital, and there were no major issues.

Chi Shuyan told Director Wang that there was no need to worry. The filming location was fine.

Hearing Master Chi’s words, Director Wang and the others were very happy. They heaved sighs of relief, and their hearts, which had been in their throats, also settled.

However, Director Wang, Ruan Shenglin, and Yan Zhengming were deep in thought. It was Director Wang who hesitantly mentioned the horror movie that was being filmed next door, and he asked apprehensively, “Master, do you think the film crew next door will affect us?”

After what happened in Dashan Village, Director Wang now believed more and more in ghosts and gods. He was afraid that they would be implicated after the film crew offended some supernatural entity. If he had known that a horror movie was being filmed next door, he would have switched locations no matter what. However, by the time they found out, their equipment had already been set up!

Chi Shuyan took Director Wang’s words seriously. After pondering for a moment, she asked, “Can you take me to the set next door?”
