Chapter 260

The young girl finished speaking.

The clapperboard clapped.

"Attention everyone, *Mountain Village Corpse*, Scene 1, Take 1, action!"

In Xiangjiang, *Mountain Village Corpse* officially began filming.

Time hurried by.

In the blink of an eye.

Half a month passed.

Imperial Capital.

At Jiaxing Entertainment, the post-production of *Chinese Paladin 3* was in full swing.

The work was currently about halfway done.

"I wonder how they are doing in Xiangjiang?" Lin Yan found herself zoning out during a break.

She missed those twins.

At the same time.

Still within Jiaxing Entertainment.

Zhu Zhu Xudan was scrolling through You Mingyue's Weibo, also lost in thought.

With the twins not in the company, she always felt like something was missing.

Perhaps, this was what they called lovesickness?

Meanwhile, at You Mingyue's own North Star Company.

Everyone was very busy.

Animation groups one and two were busy producing the third season of *That Rabbit* and *Doraemon*, respectively.

The gaming department was busy developing *PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds*. Thanks to the creative ideas and art drafts provided by You Mingyue, the general framework of the game was complete, and specific content was being filled in rapidly.

The You Mingyue Studio, however, had become very idle, with nothing to do.

Xiangjiang.

After half a month of arduous filming, the crew finally reached the scenes involving Huangshan Village.

Dilapidated houses.

Crumbling broken walls.

Withered old trees.

Weeds everywhere.

It was simply the perfect location for a horror movie.

But a very tricky problem suddenly presented itself to everyone.

According to the locals, this village once...

Really had ghosts!!!

Lu Xun once said: to film or not to film, that is the question.

In a restaurant about six or seven hundred meters away from Huangshan Village, the entire crew was pondering this question.

Come to think of it.

According to the restaurant owner, the real haunting events weren't as sinister as Chu Renmei.

At least the murder record was nowhere near as exaggerated as Auntie Mei's.

Rumor had it that many years ago, a woman who had been a long-term victim of domestic violence brought her daughter back to their maternal home in Huangshan Village. On the very night they returned, the mother and daughter hanged themselves in a house, both wearing red clothes.

It was unknown if they really encountered something unclean, or if there were other reasons.

Anyway, ever since then, strange things happened constantly in Huangshan Village.

Someone died mysteriously.

Someone who was physically robust suddenly fell gravely ill.

Someone stood foolishly on the road and was hit to death by a passing dump truck.

Some even said they saw the mother and daughter in red walking hand-in-hand at midnight, and within seven days, they died suddenly...

Gradually.

Huangshan Village rapidly fell into ruin and became the desolate village it was today.

Although the location was good, no real estate developer dared to build houses here, and even if they did, no one would buy them.

At this moment.

The crew was debating fiercely:

"If you ask me, just film it. I've been in the industry for so many years and have never encountered anything spooky," the prop master said, slapping the table.

The script supervisor replied: "I believe in materialism; I'm not afraid at all."

"Brother Yue, I suggest we find another village. What if there really is something unclean?" Xia Yan's teeth chattered, and she already had goosebumps all over.

"That's right, better safe than sorry. Besides... we're filming a horror movie... I heard that these kinds of films are the most likely to attract those unclean things!" a female actress nearby chimed in.

The crew was divided into two factions.

One faction advocated filming right in Huangshan Village—don't be a coward, just do it.

The other faction advocated finding another desolate village to film in.

Of course, the final decision rested with the director, screenwriter, lead actress, producer, and executive producer—You Mingyue.

If this were the beginning of a horror movie, the two directors would definitely have made the call to film right in Huangshan Village.

Knowing there are ghosts in the village, yet heading straight into the ghost village.

But some things came to the twins' minds.

She remembered that in her past life, some Xiangjiang crews encountered supernatural events while filming.

For example, in the movie *The Eye* starring Angelica Lee, there was a scene where she and her boyfriend sat on the subway looking at photos. In that shot, there was a pale, terrifying human face on the subway window behind her. The audience originally thought it was a plot device designed by the production team, but it wasn't at all.

This incident was known as a supernatural event in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.

Additionally, when it came to encountering evil, Uncle Ying had the most say.

While filming, he had encountered bizarre things like candles that wouldn't light and strange shadows.

The scariest thing was when he was filming *New Mr. Vampire*, which included a scene of a "red and white clash of evil."

To film this scene well, Uncle Ying had invited a master to protect them in advance, but they still encountered something unclean.

In folk customs and traditions, a red affair is a great joy, while a white affair is a great sorrow; it is extremely taboo for red and white affairs to meet.

Because after a person dies, one must wear hemp and filial piety, and the attire worn at this time is white; while at a wedding, one must wear festive red, and even those playing gongs and drums wear red.

This meeting of red and white, of mourning and joy, is like yin and yang being incompatible, and it is very inauspicious for those who encounter it.

Folk call it a "red and white clash of evil."

It was rumored that Uncle Ying encountered real ghosts while filming this scene.

When the red sedan chair and the coffin collided in the woods, and a group of people in red and white clothes were playing gongs and drums, heading happily toward the river, attentive viewers could see a person step into the water without creating any splashes.

How could there be no splashes when a person steps into water?

Thinking of this.

The twins shook their heads.

Their own transmigration already proved that souls truly exist. Since souls exist, it's not strange for ghosts to exist either.

Better not court death.

Leave such things to other brave souls.

"Boss, may I ask, do you know of any other desolate villages nearby?" You Yue asked.

The restaurant owner pondered for a moment and nodded: "I remember there is a Baishan Village over there that has been desolate for a long time. There are no rumors of hauntings there; the local residents only left because they moved into the city."

"Okay, thank you."

Immediately after.

You Yue sent people to inspect Baishan Village, and after confirming it met the filming conditions, they changed the filming location to Baishan Village.

After they made the decision, many people in the crew breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially the local Xiangjiang extras they had hired; they were particularly wary of this.
