Chapter 603: Can You Play Some Music That Isn't So Eerie?

~12 min read 2,206 words

On the airplane, the female psychologist listened to "Little White Boat" on loop, falling asleep without realizing it.

The first-class flight attendant gently covered her with a blanket, and in the process, couldn't help but take a close look at her.

"Her skin is so well-maintained."

"And she radiates an intellectual beauty from head to toe," the flight attendant thought to herself.

This was the kind of temperament she liked most; it was from the inside out, not something one could fake by reading a few books and pretending to be artistic.

"But I've heard that women with this kind of temperament have high demands in that area of life," the flight attendant muttered in her heart, then walked away softly.

People like them, because they work on airplanes with people coming and going, always have endless gossip and endless trivial matters to chat about among colleagues.

When the plane landed, the female psychologist woke up instantly.

She personally didn't like this feeling of falling.

"Some people always experience a sensation of falling while sleeping, as if they are dropping from a great height; this is actually your body reminding you. Either you are too exhausted, or your nerves are too tense," she suddenly thought of this piece of knowledge.

The female psychologist raised her right hand and slowly took off her Bluetooth earphones.

She felt that humans were truly quite magical.

At the same time, music was also a very magical thing.

"Listening to nursery rhymes really can make one's inner heart much calmer."

"Even sleep can be deeper and feel more secure," she thought to herself.

Many people were just as she thought; when they were children, their sleep was so deep that they wouldn't even perceive being carried upstairs or back to the bedroom by their parents, and they wouldn't wake up at all.

But after growing up, sleep became increasingly light, and the slightest movement could startle them awake.

"It's all because the psychological state is changing," she pushed up her Gold-rimmed Glasses and thought.

Before getting off the plane, she took one last look at her playlist.

The song "Little White Boat" was not labeled as the ending theme of "The Bad Kids".

Luo Mo planned to wait until this drama officially started airing before adding it.

Let it be a proper nursery rhyme for a while first.

………

………

The crew of "The Bad Kids", the Actor playing Zhang Dongsheng, is named Xu Fan.

He was currently wearing a white shirt and a pair of rimless Glasses, looking very refined.

Zhang Dongsheng is a typical "refined scum" type of villain; if played well, this type of villain can make the audience remember them for a long time.

At the same time, a character with this kind of temperament and image is actually... quite capable of gaining fans.

Like Li Ming among the Four Heavenly Kings, his performances in "Infernal Affairs" are still widely circulated to this day, making countless people feel an indescribable coolness just by watching a few clips.

At this moment, it was the crew's break time.

Xu Fan sat in the shade, while a makeup artist touched up his makeup on the side.

It was quite sunny today, and he had sweated quite a bit.

As for today's filming content, it was the scene in the first episode where Zhang Dongsheng pushes his father-in-law and mother-in-law off Liufeng Mountain.

Well, after Xu Chujing finished reading this part of the script, she even joked with Luo Mo: "I have to find a way to keep my parents from watching this web drama of yours."

Once reminded by her, Luo Mo really felt a tightness in his heart and said: "Zhang Dongsheng's actions, please do not associate them with me, Luo Mo!"

After speaking, he reacted quickly and said: "What, do you want your parents to become my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Xu Chujing couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.

Xu Fan is a member of the National Theatre of China and is not particularly familiar with Luo Mo.

When he received the script, he read the content of the first episode and was shocked.

But what surprised him even more was that the crew actually started by filming this scene first.

Logically speaking, many crews would save such big scenes for later during filming, waiting until the actors were more in character before shooting such iconic scenes.

But Xu Fan thought again: "It's not that Director Luo is unprofessional; thinking about it carefully, there are still many big scenes to come later, this is just the beginning!"

After the touch-up was finished, Xu Fan looked to the right and discovered that a Newcomer had arrived on set.

"Huh, this woman looks unfamiliar," he thought to himself.

He assumed this person was an Actor he didn't know.

He saw that this person had a tall figure, was curvaceous, and radiated an intellectual beauty from head to toe.

As for her age, she was probably in her thirties, fully mature.

In Xu Fan's view, the Gold-rimmed Glasses on her face were the finishing touch.

Not only did it max out her intellectual beauty, but it also made one feel a desire to conquer.

Men, after all, like to play with contrast; the more dignified and elegant you are, the more they want to see you breathless and disheveled.

And what surprised Xu Fan was that as soon as this woman arrived, Heavenly King Xu and Director Luo actually came out to greet her in person.

"What is this person's background?" Xu Fan was puzzled.

He didn't know for the moment that Xu Chujing was there to pick up a friend.

Luo Mo also came out to greet her personally because of the relationship between the two women.

At this time, the female psychologist was secretly sizing up Luo Mo, while Luo Mo was also secretly sizing her up.

However, the two's thoughts were completely different.

The female psychologist was thinking: "Finally met a living person."

Luo Mo was thinking: "So you're the one, charging so much!"

At this price, Xu Chujing even said it was a discounted price, and a very steep discount at that.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Luo Mo," he extended a hand and said.

"Hello, nice to meet you. Ye Mei, 'Mei' as in eyebrows." The female Psychologist, who finally had a name, said.

Luo Mo glanced at Xu Chujing and said, "Jing, why don't you take Sister Ye Mei back to the hotel to rest today? You two haven't seen each other in a long time, so you can sit down, chat, and have some afternoon tea."

"We're filming on the mountain today, it's quite a hassle," Luo Mo added.

Hmm, today you are here to catch up with Xu Chujing, so it definitely doesn't count as work!

However, the female Psychologist, having just met the real-life Luo Mo, naturally refused to return to the hotel just like that.

Her interest in Luo Mo was far, far too great.

It wasn't just because he was her good friend's boyfriend.

Nor was it just because she was secretly writing fan fiction about them.

There were too many reasons.

"It's fine, I'll just treat it as getting familiar with the film crew, and also as a trip to the mountain to clear my head," Ye Mei said.

Upon hearing this, Luo Mo agreed.

Getting familiar with the crew plus clearing her head, very good, it doesn't count as working, so I can't charge money!

"Alright, break time is almost over, you go get busy, I'll be responsible for hosting her," Xu Chujing said to Luo Mo.

"That works, I'll treat you to dinner tonight," Luo Mo said, and then jogged away.

Ye Mei watched Luo Mo's retreating Back Shadow, just watching him the whole time.

Xu Chujing frowned slightly and stared at her as well.

For as long as she watched Luo Mo, Jing watched her.

The female Psychologist, realizing what was happening, hurriedly withdrew her gaze and said, "Why don't you show me around? I'm very curious about how this crew films."

"Fine, but you must be a little quieter," Xu Chujing said.

"Command, my Heavenly Queen," Ye Mei said.

At this moment, the film crew had already resumed shooting.

The female Psychologist saw the legendary green screen on the set of The Bad Kids.

After all, they were filming the scene where someone is pushed off a mountain; they couldn't actually go to the mountain and push someone, ha ha ha.

She hadn't read the script for The Bad Kids, so she didn't know the relationship between this murderer and the two elderly people being pushed.

Therefore, she felt this was just a minor scene; what was so strange about a murder method like pushing someone off a mountain?

Once these green screen scenes were finished, the crew began to head up the mountain.

At this time, the female Psychologist also saw her three subjects for the first time: those three children, two boys and one girl.

She followed the crew along the way, feeling a bit bored.

First, they filmed the three children drinking soda in front of a small shop at the foot of the mountain; the scene was quite lovely, with each of them looking as if they were very happy just to have soda to drink.

However, in this shot, Zhang Dongsheng, played by Xu Fan, also entered the frame because his car was parked next to the three children, and he was currently returning to the car to get a hat for his mother-in-law.

This shot did make Ye Mei pay a little attention.

Then, they filmed how the children climbed the mountain.

The two little boys even bickered.

The taller boy said to the shorter one, "You're too weak. I could run for several more kilometers without a problem."

Zhu Chaoyang, played by Wen Lin, was instantly unconvinced, and the two boys began a mountain-climbing race.

All of this seemed like inconsequential plot, but the entire crew was filming very seriously, even shooting several takes.

This made Ye Mei feel that filming wasn't as interesting as she had imagined.

Soon, everyone arrived at a place with an open view.

The three children were going to film the next scene here.

Ye Mei felt the scenery at this location was particularly good; the surrounding mountains could all be taken in at a glance, making it an excellent viewing spot.

If she were really here for a vacation today, she definitely would have asked Xu Chujing to help her take a photo here.

And in reality, the three children stopped here just to take photos.

After Zhu Chaoyang took a photo of Pupu with the camera, he suggested, "Pupu, aren't you good at Singing? I'll record a segment for you."

"Then which song should I sing?" the cute little girl Pupu asked.

The tall boy Yan Liang suggested from the side, "Sing 'Little White Boat'."

Ye Mei, who was watching the filming from the side, instantly let out a gasp of surprise in her heart.

"'Little White Boat'!?"

Then, she saw Zhu Chaoyang put down the camera and turn on the recording mode, while the three children stood in front of the railing and began to sing "Little White Boat".

"【In the blue, blue sky, within the Milky Way, there is a little white boat...】"

For some reason, an ominous premonition rose in Ye Mei's heart.

She always felt that everything before her eyes was somewhat familiar.

"Wait! The Bad Kids, and also Canon!" A flash of inspiration hit her, and she thought of the first web series in the Mist Theater.

"With Luo Mo's patterns and operations, could this nursery rhyme also..." The more Ye Mei thought about it, the more she felt it was possible.

She raised her head and took a deep look at the three children who were singing.

Behind the children were mountain peaks after mountain peaks, with the view good to the extreme.

"Wait! Mountain peaks!?"

"Just now at the foot of the mountain, that murderer who pushed someone off the mountain entered the frame with the children."

The female Psychologist looked at the camera, and a bold thought popped into her mind.

"Could it be that the scene of the crime was accidentally captured by these three children while they were recording 'Little White Boat'?"

Even though the sun was shining brightly and it was a Sunny Day, she felt a chill, and goosebumps rose on her skin.

Luo Mo was not very satisfied with the first take, so he had the children stand in front of the railing again and perform the Singing once more.

Listening to the children's singing, the female Psychologist felt the goosebumps on her arms growing denser, and the chill intensified.

"【In the blue sky and the galaxy, there is a little white boat.】"

The singing was melodious and graceful, echoing through the mountains.

The more she listened, the more she felt it was not at all "of the living world"!

At this moment, she realized something.

"The job I took this time might be completely different from what I imagined!"
