Chapter 604: This Song Is Unlistenable

The female Psychologist watched the busy film crew and Director Luo Mo, who was always striving for perfection, and began to fall into deep thought.

She had already begun to understand why this Drama required hiring a dedicated psychologist to address the mental health of the child actors.

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Chujing asked.

"Nothing, I'm just a bit surprised by how the crew operates." Ye Mei didn't say much more, but asked: "By the way, do you know which episode they are filming today?"

"Oh, so you know that crews don't film in the order of the script." Xu Chujing smiled and said: "Today happens to be the first episode."

The profession of a psychologist is well-informed; she knew the various dark sides of human nature and the messy things caused by psychological distortion in life.

Yet even so, she still felt it was truly impressive for a drama to start off with such things.

And given Luo Mo's style, he seemingly never wrote scripts that started strong but ended weak.

Some dramas have plenty of gimmicks and appeal in the beginning, but the further they go, the weaker they get.

Luo Mo is different; his scripts always trend upward.

"If the first episode is this intense, then the content that follows..." The psychologist didn't dare to imagine.

From what she had observed so far, Zhu Chaoyang and the others in the drama should be three good children.

She guessed the subsequent content would involve the three good children being drawn into a vortex, facing one dangerous situation after another.

"Tsk, just thinking about it makes my heart ache," she said to herself.

"Cut!" Luo Mo shouted, saying: "That take is a wrap!"

With this, the scenes of the three children on the mountain were all finished.

Next, they had to go to the pavilion in the mountains to film the scenes with Zhang Dongsheng and his parents-in-law.

This was the final conversation before Zhang Dongsheng pushed them off the mountain.

It could even be said to be the last chance this refined villain was giving the elderly couple.

In daily life, Zhang Dongsheng was very respectful toward his parents-in-law; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he waited on them hand and foot.

But in reality, his parents-in-law and the relatives on his wife's side didn't really care for him, or rather, many of them looked down on him.

Now, his wife was also going to divorce him.

At this moment, the elderly couple was resting in the pavilion, and Zhang Dongsheng immediately began to diligently pour water for his mother-in-law: "Mom, have some water."

The father-in-law had quite good stamina and was still holding his camera, snapping away: "This Liufeng Mountain is really nice after the restoration."

"It's really much better than before, huh," the mother-in-law also said.

Zhang Dongsheng held the water bottle and walked to his father-in-law's side, saying: "Dad, I was wondering when you might have time to teach me photography."

The father-in-law said: "Photography is all about lighting; as long as the lighting is good, everything you shoot looks good."

The female Psychologist watched the filming of this Drama sequence from the side and thought to herself: "So these two old people are his parents-in-law."

Wearing Glasses and looking refined, Zhang Dongsheng spoke that famous line: "Dad, do you think I still have a chance?"

—This is me fighting for a chance for myself, and also giving you one last chance.

The father-in-law, who was taking pictures, immediately put down his camera and turned his head to look at him.

The mother-in-law, who was sitting to the side drinking water, also slowly put down her cup.

"I think that since you two aren't happy together, you should resolve it as soon as possible; it's better for both of you," the father-in-law said.

Zhang Dongsheng lowered his eyelids, gave an awkward laugh, and said: "Dad, I was asking if I still have a chance to learn photography."

"Ah, you mean photography? It's never too late to learn that," the old man said.

Zhang Dongsheng shifted the topic back to the divorce, saying: "Dad, can you help me persuade Xu Jing? I know she listens to you."

The mother-in-law, who hadn't spoken until now, opened her mouth: "Dongsheng, I know you two have feelings after all these years, but marriage isn't something you can force. You can set your conditions."

"You've been in Ningzhou for so many years, and we have never treated you poorly in terms of material things," the mother-in-law said.

"We just hope our daughter can be happier; she has the right to a new life," the father-in-law chimed in: "You need to understand this."

The mother-in-law continued: "We also hope you can be better. We've said what needed to be said; you should think it over carefully."

Zhang Dongsheng's facial expression grew increasingly stiff during their words, his gaze lost its focus, yet his pupils were slightly dilating.

The female Psychologist watched from the side and said to Xu Chujing: "This state is likely him desperately trying to control the emotions in his heart."

Seeing her start to show off, Xu Chujing smiled and said: "Is that so? It seems the acting is quite detailed."

Zhang Dongsheng snapped out of it amidst the father-in-law's repeated calls, a "relieved" smile appearing on his face as he let out a long breath and said: "Phew—, I understand."

It was just that his entire face still seemed a bit stiff.

"Dad, let's keep walking up while the light is still good," Zhang Dongsheng suggested.

—The intent to kill was set.

By the time everyone from the crew came down from the mountain, the sky had already grown dim.

"Time to eat," Luo Mo said to the staff.

"You got it, Director Luo."

Luo Mo turned to Xu Chujing and Ye Mei and said: "What do you want for dinner?"

He had said he would treat Ye Mei to a meal.

Unexpectedly, Ye Mei said: "Let's eat with the crew. I just took a look at the boxed lunches, they look very hearty; I'm a bit tempted."

Xu Chujing glanced at her in surprise, but didn't say anything.

She knew Ye Mei's temperament; this person was very particular and lived a refined life, so this wasn't her usual style.

In reality, the female Psychologist felt that after eating, Luo Mo might send her and Xu Chujing back to the hotel to rest, while he returned to continue filming the night scenes.

Her interest had just been piqued, and she wanted to see how Luo Mo would film it.

"That's fine, there's plenty of boxed lunch." Luo Mo smiled; he was too lazy to run back and forth, and there were still many night scenes to film later.

During the meal, Xu Chujing would glance at Ye Mei's boxed lunch from time to time, saying, "You're not craving it, so why haven't I seen you eat a few bites?"

Knowing her little thoughts had been seen through, Ye Mei didn't feel embarrassed and said with a smile, "The age is different now, I haven't eaten dinner for a long time."

The two women were going back and forth, while Luo Mo on the side was devouring his food like a whirlwind, finishing his boxed lunch in a wolfish manner.

After finishing his own portion, he glanced at Xu Chujing.

Xu Chujing smiled and handed her boxed lunch to him as usual; after Luo Mo took it, he began to eat efficiently again.

Jing might have been afraid he would choke, so she even handed him water.

Ye Mei watched the interaction between this younger-man-older-woman couple from the side, an auntie-like smile appearing on her face, and then she quickly took out her phone and began to record in her notes.

The vast number of 【Mo Xu CP】 fans would absolutely never dream of what the identity of the writer they like who writes CP fanfiction is in reality, or where she gets her inspiration from.

Tonight's night scene is being filmed at Zhu Chaoyang's home.

Zhu Chaoyang, who has a withdrawn personality and is isolated at school, doesn't have many friends.

Because his mother is coming back, Yan Liang and Pupu cannot stay overnight at the house tonight.

When seeing them off, Zhu Chaoyang revealed infinite reluctance, keeping his eyes fixed on their Back Shadow.

No matter how precocious he is, he still needs friends.

He really needs them.

After returning home, looking at the empty house, Zhu Chaoyang felt a bit dejected.

The phone rang at this moment; his mother, who works at the scenic area, called to tell him that something happened at the scenic area today, and she wouldn't be coming home for the next few days.

This phone call suddenly connected the previous incident of pushing someone down the mountain.

But Zhu Chaoyang, who was still completely unaware, just hurriedly hung up the phone, which meant Yan Liang and Pupu could continue to stay at his house, and he ran downstairs at full speed.

He ran very fast, extremely fast.

His face was very anxious, extremely anxious.

He searched all over the streets, searching aimlessly.

He ran until he was covered in sweat, ran until he had no strength left, and only then did he walk back in low spirits.

He had no friends again.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, when he turned his head, he saw Yan Liang and Pupu under the street lamp, who also had nowhere to go and didn't know where to stay.

The two of them had run away from the orphanage and didn't have much money on them.

In the night, the three children looked at each other and smiled.

Childlike, innocent, clean, beautiful.

The three child Actors all had very good acting skills, making the surrounding staff feel that such a simple matter was very moving to watch.

In reality, after this scene is broadcast, young viewers who see it will feel happy—wow, good friends are reunited again.

However, many adults will happen to feel moved, and might even find it a bit tear-jerking.

This eagerness is truly wonderful.

Truly wonderful.

………

………

Zhu Chaoyang brought Pupu and Yan Liang back home.

He sat on the sofa, fiddling with a camera.

This camera was something he had taken from his father Zhu Yongping's car.

So when flipping through the photos and recordings, they were all group photos of their family.

Zhu Chaoyang looked very carefully, very carefully.

Not until Pupu sat by his side did he quickly flip past these pages, flipping all the way to what was filmed at Liufeng Mountain today, and handed it to Pupu.

Then, he walked to the balcony and stayed with Yan Liang, and the two little boys began to chat.

Pupu opened her pair of dark, round eyes, holding the camera with both hands very cutely, and watched the recorded video with a smile on her face.

The Singing began to echo in this small room.

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

In Pupu's pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak, the joy gradually faded.

"It seems someone was pushed down," Pupu said.

"What?" Zhu Chaoyang asked from the balcony.

He and Yan Liang walked back into the living room together.

"You guys look quickly." Pupu picked up the camera and handed it to them to see.

The female Psychologist watched from the side, seeing the camera lens constantly pushing forward, first filming the Back Shadow of the two boys and Pupu's front, then gradually approaching the camera in the little girl's hands, giving a close-up of the image inside the camera.

The Singing continued to echo in the room, echoing incessantly.

Then, there was the sound of a pause button.

Immediately after, after the Singing stopped, it began to echo again.

After only one line was sung, the footage was reversed again; undoubtedly, these three children had watched it again to confirm if everyone had seen it wrong or if their eyes had played tricks on them.

However, although the footage was a bit blurry and the faces couldn't be seen clearly, it undoubtedly had captured the entire process of the crime!

The intersection of the fates of the three children and Zhang Dongsheng was thus created.

When the two elderly people fell down the mountain, the children's Singing continued.

"【There is an osmanthus tree on the boat, and a white rabbit is playing.】"

The first episode of "The Bad Kids" comes to an abrupt end amidst this singing, with the image of the elderly couple falling off the mountain, and the scene where the mild-mannered Zhang Dongsheng feigns a shout, lunges forward, and stares at their plummeting bodies!

During post-production editing, Luo Mo will have the screen fade to black at this moment, then the cast list will appear, and the ending theme "Little White Boat" will begin to play.

This nursery rhyme will not start from the beginning, but will instead connect with the a cappella singing of the three children and continue on.

After all, for a nursery rhyme, the Lyricist is bound to be unrestrained and illogical.

However, looking at it now... it appears exceptionally chilling!

"【Oars, oh oars, they cannot be seen, and there are no sails on the boat.

Floating, floating, floating beyond the clouds.】"
