Chapter 62
After seeing the “luxury villa”, the comments in the live broadcast room doubled, and everyone was having fun.
【Shi Xi is really miserable, she only came for two episodes, but the rich program team suddenly became a dog, and the conditions became more and more difficult.】
【Ji Mingxu: I told you not to be happy too early, right? I told you that the director doesn’t plan to be a human being this time, right? 】
【And I only care about the appearance of the guests. Even if they are wearing ordinary daily clothes, they can still kill everyone with their faces. 】
【Yu Xiaoqian and Zhang Xiuming’s expressions are so funny, they didn’t watch the last episode of the variety show, did they? 】
The main door of the villa opened, and the chief director came out, spread his hands and made a welcoming gesture, and asked with a smile: “Teachers, are you satisfied with this episode of the Strange House?”
Director Song: “Is this what you call ‘returning to the luxurious style’?”
Shi Xi: “Is this what you call ‘worth looking forward to’?”
Ji Mingxu looked disgusted: “Can you have some sense in your heart? It’s the last episode and you are still tricking us.”
“Explain?” Lu Xiu’s eyes were cold, and he approached him with long legs.
Other guests followed closely, approaching the chief director step by step, and their aura was not ordinary.
The chief director took a step back and winked at the deputy director: “The live broadcast can be turned off!”
The deputy director said to the live broadcast room: “In order to save the face of the chief director, this live broadcast will end here. See you in the official release.”
Chief-Director: “…You talk too much!”
【Don’t turn it off, we are so familiar with each other, is there anything we can’t watch?】
【The chief director: It’s too much fun, it’s too much fun. 】
【Hahaha, you deceived the guest, now you are being “bullied” by the guest! 】
【Assistant director, I will lend you my courage, broadcast for another five minutes! 】
The assistant director lowered his voice: “Then I will secretly broadcast it for another five minutes.”
The guests pushed the chief director into a corner, and the chief director explained weakly: “Don’t think less of this villa because of its interior decoration…”
Lu Xiu chuckled lightly and said, “Don’t think less of it?”
“The decoration is… well, it’s a bit unfinished,” the general director admitted. “But we’ve checked for safety hazards, and it’s very safe. Besides, this villa is very special. It’s a irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind ‘Strange House’! Most importantly, we’re going to hold a luxurious banquet here, and the dresses are all prepared for you. You definitely won’t be disappointed!”
Lu Xiu changed his face in a second, and patted the chief director on the shoulder amiably: “You should have said it earlier, I misunderstood you.”
Shi Xi tilted her head: “Since we are going to hold a banquet, delicious food is indispensable, right?”
The chief director said: “Of course!”
【Ahhh, it’s us who are being tricked. The director deliberately said these things to whet our appetite!】
【Why is this villa irreplaceable? Did a supernatural event really happen in it? 】
【I always feel that it looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere. 】
【What is the theme of this episode? It makes me itch. If you have the ability, continue the live broadcast! 】
Amid a chorus of pleas to stay, the deputy director bid farewell once more, sadly ending the live broadcast.
The chief director asked the assistant to come over and distribute prop backpacks to the guests.
“Dear teachers, there are equipment you can use in the backpack,” Assistant Xiao Xu handed out the backpacks and handed out a new book respectfully: “This is the new plot outline, and the comic file has been sent to your mobile phones.”
That’s right, this episode is about comics!
Shi Xi got a powder blue backpack, unzipped it and saw some adventure necessities inside, including flashlights, climbing ropes, Swiss knives, etc. There are also some cosmetics and daily necessities.
Opening the phone, she saw the comic file that Xiao Xu mentioned, clicked on the file, and the four hideous characters “Cliff Banquet” appeared on the screen, and the last stroke of each word was dyed with shocking red.
The chief director coughed lightly and pointed to a place: “There are chairs and tea over there. You can sit there and read the plot outline comfortably. We still need to hurry up to set up the scene. After sunset, we will start shooting. Is that okay?”
“No problem,” Ji Mingxu hooked the chief director’s neck and said casually: “If the decoration is more gorgeous, I will reluctantly forgive you.”
“Of course, we will restore the comic scenes one-to-one,” the chief director looked at Shi Xi: “Teacher Xiao Shi, please stay. I have something to ask of you.”
Director Song glanced at the chief director: “Don’t bully our Xiao Shi.”
The chief director felt wronged: “How dare I!”
Shi Xi stayed to talk to the director, and the other guests went to the rest area.
Yu Xiaoqian took two steps and couldn’t help looking back, thinking, what exactly did the chief director want to say when he left Shi Xi alone?
The chief director glanced at Yu Xiaoqian, and her heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and left quickly.
“Teacher Xiao Shi, we are still scared after what happened in the last episode,” the director said softly, “Can you continue to serve as our technical consultant for this episode? Whether or not there are any supernatural events during the filming, we will pay the consultant fee.”
Technical consultant for exorcism? It sounds inexplicably funny.
It seems that the program team was really scared, but they couldn’t let the variety show go blank, so they bit the bullet and filmed this episode.
“No problem,” Shi Xi thought for a while, and then said, “If you need a technical consultant next season, I can recommend someone.”
The director felt relieved: “That’s good, thank you Teacher Xiao Shi.”
After the guests digested the new plot outline, the sun was about to set.
According to the variety show script, they will play a group of rich second-generations who drive to the cliff villa to play adventure games.
The program team wants to shoot a “scene” of them driving to the villa. The car is ready in advance and a camera is installed inside.
Lu Xiu was in charge of driving. After leaving the villa, he took everyone for a ride until the director said the recording started, and the black SUV went up the mountain again.
As soon as the director started talking, the actors in the car quickly got into the mood.
Shi Xi opened the car window, looked at the lush trees flying by, and asked casually: “Brother Lu, how long will it take to get there?”
Lu Xiu glanced at the navigation and said politely: “It will be there in a few minutes. I have arranged everything. I guarantee that this will be the most exciting birthday you have ever had.”
Hearing him say this, Shi Xi became excited and turned around to ask: “Is the villa we are going to really the prototype in the comics?”
“Really,” Lu Xiu’s voice was neither hurried nor slow, and his tone was relaxing: “Teacher Chu Die was originally an architect. She participated in the design of this cliff villa. After the building was completed, she came to the site and got inspiration. After returning, she created the weird comic “Cliff Banquet”.”
The six people in the car were all avid fans of this comic. They were a little excited when they heard this.
Ji Mingxu turned his head to look at him: “How did you know this?”
Lu Xiu curled his lips and smiled: “The cliff villa was going to be sold. I accidentally saw it and found that it was exactly the same as the villa in the comics, so I asked my father’s assistant to check it out, and then I knew the story behind it.”
“So you bought this villa, arranged an adventure game, and took us to play it,” Ji Mingxu gave a thumbs up: “Awesome.”
“Aren’t you complaining that “Cliff Banquet” has no ending and is only one step away from becoming a god, which is a pity?” Lu Xiu lowered his voice slightly: “This time we come to the scene to play role-playing, and go through the plot of the comics from beginning to end, Give it an ending in person. “
Ji Mingxu thought of something and took a breath: “The comic just has six main characters, three men and three women, and the heroine also accidentally entered the cliff villa on her birthday. This is too coincidental… Brother, you are really good to think of this way of playing.”
Lu Xiu said proudly: “I have prepared for today for a long time. You will know when you get to the villa. There will definitely be surprises.”
“It’s so fun. I like this way of celebrating my birthday! So now I am the heroine of the comic. Let me help you recall the plot.” Shi Xi opened the first chapter of the comic, and her slender fingers slid quickly, summarizing the plot while reading.
“After a group of young people who were traveling by car entered the forest area, their navigation failed and their mobile phones lost signal. They planned to return by the same route, but got lost on the way.
“It was dark at this time. They were hungry and tired, so they could only drive aimlessly to find a signal. They drove to the top of the mountain unknowingly, and then a luxurious cliff villa miraculously appeared in front of them.
“The villa is lit up and looks very comfortable. They decided to try their luck. If they are lucky, they can have a good meal and ask for the way out of here.”
At this time, Ji Mingxu pointed to the front and said, “Look, there is a cliff villa in front! The lights are still on. Let’s try our luck~”
Shi Xi raised her eyes and saw the cliff villa standing under the night through the front window of the car. Its outer wall was inlaid with a large area of glass, and at this time it was shining with warm yellow light, like a lighthouse to guide lost people.
“Ji Mingxu, you got into the role very quickly this time.” Director Song laughed.
Ji Mingxu smiled and said, “How interesting! Have you ever thought that maybe we have entered the comics, but we are unaware of it.”
The car drove towards the cliff villa. The surroundings were very quiet. The scene in front of us was highly consistent with the plot of the comics, and it was really hard to distinguish between reality and illusion.
The car fell into a strange silence. Yu Xiaoqian couldn’t help but clenched her fingers. She felt pressured when the variety show just started recording. The director gave them a very simple plot outline, with only a few sentences. The content of the guests’ conversation just now was all improvised by them. She was confused and couldn’t get a word in.
Yu Xiaoqian touched Zhang Xiuming’s arm and asked him in a whisper: “Are we really recording a variety show?”
“Yes, yes, I suppose,” Zhang Xiuming said, also lowering his voice. “This variety show seems to be this kind of style.”
Yu Xiaoqian: “I was busy with filming before, and I didn’t watch this variety show before I came here. You didn’t watch it either, did you?”
Zhang Xiuming nodded silently.
Yu Xiaoqian didn’t say anything else, sat up straight, thinking that the other four guests’ performances were too brilliant. If she continued in this state, she might not even be in the main film. She had to find a way to get the camera.
She and Liu Ziyu belong to the same company. Before coming, her agent specifically told her that the program team would select one of the flying guests as a permanent guest in the next episode. Liu Ziyu’s performance in the last episode was not very good, so she had to learn to fight for it.
Zhang Xiuming also looked thoughtful, and I don’t know what he was thinking.
Director Song thought the car was too quiet: “Shi Xiao, continue to recall the plot.”
Shi Xi nodded and said in a clear and pleasant voice: “Just as the SUV arrived at the entrance of the villa, the gate opened automatically… L, who was driving, said ‘that it was probably the owner of the villa who noticed our car, guessed that we were lost tourists, and took the initiative to open the door for us, right?'”
“J, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said, ‘then this owner is really kind, I guess he often helps lost people, and he must be willing to give us some food, right?’“
“The unbearable hunger made the young people lose their vigilance. They drove into the yard and saw a man in a black suit with a smile on his face. Although his temples were gray, his face was still handsome.”
“Several young people got out of the car and greeted the man in the suit. They asked him if he was the owner of the villa, but the man shook his head and said that he was just the housekeeper here…”
Ji Mingxu tapped the car window and said casually, “The housekeeper has appeared. This is a powerful character.”
Before Shi Xi finished the first episode, the SUV arrived in front of the villa. Just like the comic she described, the gate of the villa opened automatically and greeted them silently.
Lu Xiu drove into the yard.
Everyone saw a man standing in front of the main gate. His face was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly. They could only see that he was wearing a black suit. After parking the car, Lu Xiu said, “Get out of the car. The housekeeper has been waiting for us for a long time.”
