Chapter 43
As a professional actor, it’s not difficult to speak with a nasally voice. Shixi opened her watery, innocent eyes and said in a weak, soft voice, “We’re also live streaming… but after coming in here, the live stream can’t see anything. Although we’re doing a ghost-hunting live stream, we can’t just let the audience listen to the sound. Some people will think we’re fooling them.”
Jiaming pointed at the screen in the live broadcast room and whispered, “If you don’t believe me, look, someone has already raised this question. If you want to see the screen, please press 1.”
After saying this, he shrank his neck, with the word “fear” written all over his body. Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills.
【11111】
【That’s right, we can’t just listen to the sounds! 】
【Xiaoshi is right. Even if you are a ghost anchor, you have to respect the live broadcast effect, right? 】
【If the screen remains black, I will leave now. 】
The ghost anchor became a little anxious when it saw the audience’s reaction. What if they really ran away? It quickly gathered its negative energy and threw out a few balls of dark green phosphorous fire as lighting.
…
The two live broadcast rooms returned to normal at the same time. The audience saw Shi Xi with tears in her eyes, Xin Xin who was stunned like a puppet, and the dense puppet wreckage. They were so shocked that they could only utter “Ahhh” and “!!!”.
The audience’s enthusiastic reaction pleased the ghost anchor, who laughed creepily, “Not bad.”
Shi Xi said, “This green light doesn’t look good. Can you change the color?”
The ghost anchor now fully took her suggestion into consideration and after considering for a moment, it changed the phosphorescence into dark red.
“No, change it again.”
The phosphorescence turned blue.
“Change it again,” Shi Xi explained patiently, “Lighting is very important. Sometimes you need to test it repeatedly to determine the best effect.”
The colors of the phosphorescent fire changed, turning a gloomy space that looked like a horror movie into a light show.
Xinxin: “…” Suddenly she was not afraid anymore.
【As expected of you】
【I laughed like a pig. 】
【This host has a really good temper. 】
【Xiao Shi is right. Lighting is really important. Like this lighting right now, it makes you want to dance. Dancing is better than ghost hunting~~】
Controlling the phosphorescent fire consumes Yin Qi. The ghost anchor is a little tired and a little impatient: “This…color…effect…is it okay?”
The cold white phosphorescent light enveloped the entire space. Shi Xi leaned in front of the camera to take a look and nodded pitifully: “It’s OK. It makes my skin look whiter.”
Ghost anchor: “…” I wonder if she is playing a trick on me. But she seems to be very scared of me, so there is no way she would dare to play a trick on me.
Jiaming: “…” My colleague is always testing the edge of danger.
Shi Xi’s acting gradually got better, and he said seriously: “Good lighting can make the picture look better, thus retaining more audiences.”
Ghost anchor: “It seems… makes sense.”
“Of course, this is all my experience as a senior anchor, and I won’t pass it on easily.” Shi Xi asked the ghost anchor: “Live broadcasts must have a clear theme. Have you thought about the theme of this live broadcast?”
“Yes!” The ghost anchor’s tone was very excited, like a student who finally heard the topic he knew: “Puppet show…can we start…the performance?”
As the ghost anchor got excited, all the puppets in the entire space started moving. They rolled their bulging eyes and made giggling sounds.
Thousands of laughs overlapped each other, leaving Shi Xi feeling dizzy and disoriented.
“Stop it now.” Shi Xi covered her ears: “Are you going to send all the audience away? Your theme is too unpopular and not attractive enough.”
It has nothing to do with the puppet show itself. Shi Xi just needs to find a reason to stop it, otherwise it will be too dangerous.
The ghost anchor’s mood instantly fell to the bottom, and all the puppets stopped moving. But the ghost anchor was very unhappy and seemed about to turn hostile.
【What on earth just happened? I almost fainted. 】
【That voice is too scary, can we change the subject? 】
【Can we change the subject? 】
With the help of the barrage, the ghost anchor calmed down. It remembered that Shi Xi’s previous suggestions were very useful, so the ghost endured it and said, “You tell me… how… to do it.”
“I’ve thought about it. You have to let the audience know you first.” Shi Xi said earnestly, “You have to show your face in the live broadcast room. My partner will give you a close-up and take a beautiful picture of you.”
Shi Xi acted for so long just to lower the ghost host’s guard and then lure it out.
“Oh oh!” The ghost anchor originally wanted to attract people’s attention. It had never thought of doing this before. Now it was very excited and showed up immediately.
A twisted figure appeared out of nowhere. Its body was like a mess of scribbled, dark lines. It had a hunched back, unusually long limbs, and only a pair of blood-red eyes on its face, giving off a very oppressive feeling.
The concentration of Yin energy was off the charts. The camera only caught the ghost host’s face, and the two live broadcast rooms malfunctioned again.
【I almost threw my phone! What the heck was that? Is that even a human face? 】
【You told me this was a script? How did they achieve this effect? 】
【Can’t 3D projection do that? Think bigger!”】
【I can no longer guess the direction of this live broadcast… Whether it is true or false, I am scared and trembling.jpg. 】
It was also the first time that Xinxin saw the true appearance of the ghost anchor. She was so scared that she trembled all over, but could not escape.
Jiaming has developed his courage, but at this moment his hands and feet are cold and his heart is beating fast.
Shi Xi… Shi Xi burst into tears and sobbed, “I forgot to tell you, character setting is very important!”
The ghost anchor narrowed it scary red eyes in confusion: “What…does that mean?”
“You are really a pure newcomer. You don’t even know this.” Shi Xi turned away her eyes and said nonsense seriously: “If you want to become famous, you need to make the audience like you. Everyone loves cute things now, so creating a cute persona definitely won’t go wrong. You could try being cute to everyone.”
“Oh, oh.” The ghost anchor said confidently: “I can do this.”
A gust of cold wind blew, and the ghost anchor suddenly appeared in front of Jiaming. Unexpectedly, he was stared at by the pair of blood-red eyes. Jiaming hunched his shoulders like a frightened cat.
The ghost anchor turned it eyes away at this moment, then bent down and put it face in front of the camera: “Am I cute?”
– Under Shi Xi’s careful teaching, the ghost anchor restrained it negative energy before “acting cute”, and the live broadcast room returned to normal. All the viewers saw a blurry black shadow and a hint of blood red that looked like an eye.
【The sense of immersion is so strong that I feel like a ghost is sticking to my face. 】
【I am a dog when watching the ghost hunting live broadcast again. I can’t bear this kind of stimulation. Woo woo woo. 】
【It’s just this level, not very realistic. The extras we invited this time didn’t even wear special effects makeup, it’s too perfunctory. 】
【I really envy the mentality of the people above. 】
Jiaming also envied this mentality. Now the evil spirit was only a few centimeters away from him, and he was almost scared to death. It turns out that no matter how much he trains, he can’t stand as still as a mountain.
“Are you trying to be cute or intimidating? You’ve scared the audience away.” Shi Xi complained, and then patiently instructed the ghost anchor: “You need to make your appearance a little cuter, and your expression a little gentler, and then put your little hands on your cheeks. Next to it, making a ‘meow’ sound is considered cute.”
The ghost anchor floated into the air and tilted it head: “So… complicated?”
Shi Xi: “This is the most basic. Everyone loves to watch this. If you can do this, you are not far from becoming a big hit.”
“I… will give it a try.” The ghost anchor’s body shrank smaller and smaller, until it was only the size of a rag doll. The black yin energy wrapped around it dissipated, revealing its true appearance. —A round-headed puppet.
The workmanship of the ghost anchor is more exquisite than all other puppets, almost to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing. If the pair of red agate-like blood-red eyes were replaced, it could even impersonate a living child.
Shi Xi noticed the clothes it was wearing. Although the style was old, they were as bright red as new, as if they could drip blood.
This evil spirit was more terrifying than any vengeful ghost.
Shi Xi said in a gentle voice: “Your current appearance is in line with everyone’s aesthetic standards. You would be even cuter if you had black eyes. Try to act cute.”
The ghost anchor blinked, and it pupils really turned black. It returned to the camera again, put it little hand next to their cheek, and called out stiffly: “Meow?”
【When you live long enough, you can still see people teaching ghosts to be cute… The outrageous thing is, they are really cute. 】
【Did you find a child to perform as an extra this time? The makeup is so good that she looks like a mannequin. 】
【I originally thought that this live broadcast was quite real, but when this kid came out it looked very fake hahaha. I’m relieved if it’s a script. If it’s real, I won’t be able to sleep tonight. 】
【I’ve said it before, don’t be too emotional, but after watching it, I admit that the script is well written and worth learning for other anchors. 】
【These eyes are really creepy. Is this kid’s acting skills too good? 】
The ghost anchor stared at the barrage of comments with an expression of enjoyment.
That’s how it should be. It wants everyone to see it, it wants everyone to like it, and it never wants to hide away and play alone again!
This human anchor is good and the suggestions she gives are very useful.
The ghost anchor was addicted to the feeling of being noticed, their eyes became more and more crazy: “You…can’t leave…all stay…accompany me…and play…”
“Please,” Shi Xi walked behind the ghost anchor and pressed it shoulder. Her voice was still gentle, but her eyes were more dangerous than the ghost anchor’s: “I’ve been playing with you for a whole night.”
The ghost anchor’s expression turned blank for a moment. Suddenly, it realized it couldn’t move! The human had stuck a talisman on it!
Ten seconds later, the ghost anchor was covered with talismans by Jiaming.
The ghost anchor almost cracked in half. It couldn’t understand what went wrong. Weren’t they supposed to be scared out of their wits? Weren’t they supposed to be two naive and innocent fools.
The naive and innocent fools is actually me? ?
