Chapter 547
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 ghost incidents were not as eerie as Chu Renmei.
At least the murder record was far less exaggerated than Auntie Mei's.
Rumor has it that many years ago, a woman who had been subjected to domestic violence for years brought her daughter back to their maternal home in Huangshan Village. But on the very night they returned, the mother and daughter both hanged themselves in a house, dressed in red, and died.
It is unknown whether they really encountered something unclean or if there was another reason.
Anyway, ever since then, strange things happened constantly in Huangshan Village.
Some people died mysteriously.
Some people were physically robust but suddenly fell gravely ill.
Some people stood foolishly on the road and were hit to death by passing dump trucks.
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 decay and became the deserted village it is today.
Although the location is 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 having a heated discussion:
"If you ask me, just film it. I've been in the crew for so many years and have never encountered anything eerie," the prop master said, slapping the table.
The script supervisor replied: "I believe in materialism; I'm not afraid anyway."
"Brother Yue, I suggest we change to another village. What if there really is something unclean?" Xia Yan's teeth chattered; she already had goosebumps all over.
"That's right, it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't, and besides... we are filming a horror movie... I heard that these kinds of movies are the most likely to attract those unclean things!" a female actress nearby chimed in.
Within the crew, they were 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 deserted village to film in.
Of course, the final decision rested in the hands of the director + screenwriter + lead actress + producer + executive producer—Xu Mingyue.
If it were unfolding like the beginning of a horror movie, certain two-in-one female directors would definitely make the call to film right in Huangshan Village.
Knowing there are ghosts in the village, yet heading toward the ghost village.
But some things came to the twins' minds.
She remembered that when some Xiangjiang crews were filming in her past life, they encountered supernatural events.
For example, in the movie *The Eye* starring Angelica Lee, there is a scene where Angelica Lee and her boyfriend are sitting on the subway looking at photos. In that shot, there is a pale and terrifying human face on the subway window behind her. The audience originally thought it was a plot point designed by the filmmakers, but it was not at all.
This incident is known as a supernatural event in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.
Additionally, when it comes to being haunted, Uncle Ying has the most say.
When he was filming, he encountered strange things like candles that wouldn't light, strange shadows, and so on.
The scariest part was when he was filming *New Mr. Vampire*, there was a scene of a red and white clash of evil.
To film this scene well, Uncle Ying invited a master to protect the set in advance, but unexpectedly, they still encountered something unclean.
In folk customs and traditions, a red event is a great joy, and a white event is a great sorrow; it is extremely taboo for red and white events to meet.
Because after a person dies, one must wear hemp and mourning clothes, and the attire worn at this time is white; while at a wedding, one must wear festive red clothes, and even those blowing gongs and drums wear red.
This red and white, this mourning and joy meeting, 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.
When Uncle Ying was filming this scene, it was rumored that he encountered real ghosts.
When the red sedan chair and the coffin collided in the woods, and a group of people in red and white clothes were blowing gongs and drums, happily walking toward the river, attentive viewers could see a person step into the water without any splashes.
How could there be no splashes when a person steps into the water?
Thinking of this.
The twins shook their heads.
Their transmigration itself already proved that souls truly exist, and since souls exist, it is not strange for ghosts to exist.
Better not court death.
Leave this kind of thing to other warriors.
"Boss, may I ask, do you know if there are any other deserted villages nearby?" Xu Youyue asked.
The restaurant owner pondered for a moment and nodded: "I remember there is a Baishan Village over there that has been deserted for a long time. There are no rumors of ghosts there; the local residents left because they moved to the city."
"Okay, thank you."
Immediately after.
Xu Youyue sent people to Baishan Village to inspect it, 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 some of the local Xiangjiang extras they hired; they were particularly wary of this.
