12: The scene was so brutal that it was mistaken for a murder scene.
After the Film Crew finished work, the excited director stayed up all night to have the Screenwriter revise the script.
The Second Boss's scenes were increased from one to ten.
Lin Pei was naturally happy.
The pay for the Second Boss was several times higher than that of the Eighth Boss. At this rate, two months of basic food and shelter were guaranteed.
Besides the decent pay, he also found the acting quite satisfying.
The nine new scenes the director added for him were all plots involving torture and murder.
He could now be said to handle this kind of plot with ease.
He felt refreshed and invigorated after acting every day.
However, he didn't know why everyone in the Film Crew kept their distance from him.
Clearly, the previous misunderstanding had been cleared up, hadn't it?
"Cut."
During a break, the Young Actor who was acting opposite Lin Pei vanished in a flash.
The rest of the Film Crew gathered in small groups, their faces pale.
"I feel a bit sorry for Little Zhao. Looking at him, he was almost scared to the point of vomiting."
"Don't just talk about him, I'm about to vomit too."
"Look at the director's face; it's not much better. He's really giving his all for the show."
"Brother Lin's acting... it feels like even real bandits aren't as brutal as him. Oh my god, I can't watch it at all."
*Hiss*, I know it's out of line to say this, and Brother Lin explained everything before, but I really suggest the police check again. How could this possibly be just acting?"
"Agreed, it really doesn't look like acting."
"..."
While everyone was discussing, a small Extra tremblingly took out her phone and logged into her Douyin.
She had hidden her phone when entering the set, so it wasn't confiscated by the staff.
Later, on a whim, she secretly recorded a segment of a scene.
She thought she could edit a bit of it into her Film Crew vlog after work.
As a result, while recording, she scared herself senseless.
My goodness.
This actor's acting was too real; she almost thought she was watching a real murder scene.
Her vision went dark, and she nearly fainted.
No, she couldn't be the only one scared.
She had to spread this terror and double the horror!
Video uploaded, a tap of the finger, and the post was sent.
Just then, the director shouted "Ready," and the Young Actor hurriedly put her phone back into her boot.
Today's final scene was Lin Pei's wrap-up scene. In the scene, the Second Boss killed a whole group of people single-handedly.
He had truly seen red.
Lin Pei had a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth as he aimed his gun at the "commoners" opposite him and unleashed a barrage of fire.
The crowd fell to the ground one after another.
Lin Pei's expression remained unchanged, but those eyes clearly contained many things.
Disdain, excitement, coldness, pride... for a moment, everyone watching the scene was stunned.
Holy crap.
This psychopathic bandit Second Boss was practically brought to life!
Is it really not the person himself coming to act?
That gaze... they were truly afraid Lin Pei would raise his hand and give them a shot too... "Cut."
Lin Pei put the prop aside properly and turned around.
!!
Eh, where are the people?
Not to mention the Film Crew staff, even the group of Extras he had just "shot" were nowhere to be found.
Looking at the camera's position, even the director was gone.
The speed of finishing work was absolutely unprecedented and never to be repeated.
Well, it's understandable.
If you're not proactive about finishing work, there's something wrong with your mindset.
Lin Pei scanned the surroundings; only a cleaning lady was still there.
He took a step forward, and the lady immediately waved her hand in a "stop" gesture.
"Don't kill me! My shoe fell off, I just came back to pick it up!"
"..."
Was the character so brutal that even the cleaning lady was scared?
A flash of guilt crossed Lin Pei's heart, and the corners of his mouth then curled up, revealing what he thought was a kind smile to the auntie.
"Ah..."
The auntie's face turned deathly pale.
"Just now when he was killing people, that's exactly how he smiled..."
The auntie didn't even want her shoe anymore as she scrambled and ran out of the studio.
"..."
Lin Pei touched his own face.
It seemed his acting skills had gone up another notch.
Not bad, keep up the good work.
Becoming the best actor is just around the corner... Not long after, Lin Pei received a WeChat message from the director, congratulating him on finishing his scenes.
At the same time, a bank notification popped up on his phone.
The salary had arrived, nearly breaking into four digits.
Lin Pei smiled.
Very good.
With the next role, he was sure to become a ten-thousand-yuan earner.
And the role after that... he hardly dared to imagine.
He had to find out as soon as possible if there were any villas he liked nearby.
Lest he be caught off guard when it was time to move houses.
With a pleasant mood, Lin Pei returned to his rented room and collapsed onto the bed.
He wanted to catch up on some sleep in advance.
In case the next role had too many scenes, he might not get enough sleep then.
Lin Pei suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly fell asleep... While Lin Pei was sleeping, Yang Yanyan, the Young Actor who had secretly filmed the set, couldn't sleep at all.
Because the post she made about the Film Crew seemed to have gone viral.
In just two hours, there were already several thousand comments and reposts.
As a mere Extra, her account traffic had never been this high.
The comment section was a sea of terrified emojis.
"Holy crap, is this a murder scene? Little sister, are you okay? Are you still alive?"
"Is this in the country? How can there be such a psychopathic murderer? Where is this? Looking at the IP, it's in Hengcheng?"
"@Hengcheng Police, calling the police, please investigate thoroughly."
"This man's eyes are too terrifying. One look and you can tell it's not his first time killing. Who knows how many he's killed already. Police uncles, hurry up and arrest him!"
"Scrolling onto this in the middle of the night, I'm shivering under my covers."
"..."
Yang Yanyan scrolled through the comments and found that many netizens were @Hengcheng Police.
She frowned and clicked on the video she took.
Lin Pei's cold eyes came into view.
Oh my god.
I'm going to die.
*Plop*.
Yang Yanyan quickly closed the video.
However, she instantly realized something.
She seemed to have missed filming the cameras, and she hadn't edited in a caption, causing everyone to misunderstand.
Thinking of this, she quickly clicked "Edit Work" and added a caption.
"Film Crew of 'the whip sounds', the wrap-up scene for the young man."
When she clicked send, she looked at the tags provided by the platform.
Horror, Supernatural, Bloody, Male Ghost.
Uh... for some reason, she felt they were quite fitting.
After the tags were corrected, the netizens seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"So they were just acting. It's good that the little sister is okay."
"Are they really just acting? Are you sure you're not being coerced, girl?"
"Holy crap, who is this actor? A newcomer? This acting skill for a newcomer is a bit too awesome."
"If you hadn't edited the caption, I would have personally run to the police station. To be honest, I still find it hard to believe this is acting. Isn't this too lifelike?"
"Isn't this Brother Lin? Precisely because his acting was too lifelike, he was mistaken for a murderer a few days ago and taken in by the police for questioning."
"That actually happened? Awesome."
"Girl, you've leaked material. It's best not to spread scenes from inside the studio. I suggest deleting it."
"..."
Perhaps seeing that this video had some heat, other people online gradually released other videos.
Fragments of several other scenes Lin Pei acted in were leaked one after another.
Clearly, Yang Yanyan wasn't the only one who secretly filmed.
Screenshots of the Streamer's live broadcast from the Film Crew earlier were also taken.
The online discussion was continuous.
"The young man's acting is superb."
"This is too funny. He's probably the first actor to be taken to the station because he played a villain too well."
"No, I'm still scared right now. Has he really never killed anyone?"
"Does he have his own account? Has anyone dug it up?"
"Camping here for an answer."
"..."
