Chapter 178 This filming location is haunted!
Of course, this wasn't what truly prevented filming from taking place.

It's because the filming location is haunted!

The place they filmed is called Zhuang Mengyuan, which is an abandoned theater.

Speaking of which, this theater has been around since the Republic of China era.

It is said that it was built by a wealthy family. The old lady of the family loved watching plays, so her son spent a lot of money to build this theater to celebrate her 80th birthday.

It was also named Zhuang Mengyuan, meaning "Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly".

It is said that the famous opera singer Xi Tang was invited to perform at that time.

But later, war broke out, and the people in the city fled. Much of the theater was destroyed and then abandoned.

It's not that no one has considered taking over this theater; after all, it occupies a large area, and the land is quite valuable these days.

But without exception they all failed.

Everyone who took over this place has encountered misfortune without exception. Although they don't die, they are constantly plagued by bad luck.

As a result, no one dared to take over this place anymore.

This place thus became a no-man's land.

Over time, this place became known as a haunted place, and no one dared to enter it.

The reason Feng Chengfeng chose this location for filming is because he based his novel on this place.

Therefore, if possible, he also hopes to film here.

When he first came here to film, he knew the situation, so he invited the Taoist priests, performed the rituals, gave the offerings, and even said a lot of nice things.

At first, nothing happened during the first few days of filming, but then problems started to occur frequently.

Either the props are broken or the person is sick. If it happens once or twice, it's fine, but if it happens seven or eight times or more than ten times, then something is wrong.

Fortunately, no wires were used; otherwise, if the wires had broken and the person had fallen from a great height, the accident would have been much more serious.

Even though no one was injured, the filming process had to be stopped.

Some of the more timid ones simply refused to perform at all.

Because everyone who participated in the filming that day would have nightmares that night.

As everyone knows, this place is strange, and we're afraid that if we stay any longer, the situation will get worse, and someone might even die.

Therefore, after only ten days of filming, many people had already left.

Feng Chengfeng invited many Taoist priests to perform rituals, but it was all to no avail.

"Sigh, is it destined that this film will never be made?"

Even though he was unwilling, Feng Chengfeng began to think about giving up.

Just then, his phone rang. In a bad mood, Feng Chengfeng didn't bother to check who was calling and answered it directly.

But the next second, he stood up abruptly.

"What did you say? Your company is willing to invest in my film? All 20 million? I want the male lead role, no problem, absolutely no problem."

Feng Chengfeng didn't expect that just when he was about to give up, staff from Laifu Film and Television Entertainment would call him and say they were willing to invest 20 million.

Feng Chengfeng was overjoyed.

Laifu Film & Entertainment is a leading company in the entertainment industry. When he first had the idea of ​​filming this script, he submitted it to Laifu Film & Entertainment, but was rejected. Unexpectedly, they have now agreed and invested all 20 million.

OK, great.

All I need is a male lead, no problem at all.

Anyway, the male lead he chose before was also a newcomer, and because of the frequent strange occurrences, that person was planning to leave. Although Feng Chengfeng didn't really like the kind of person who brought their own investment to the production, he had no choice at this point.

As long as that person isn't too bad and can be trained, that's fine.

only……

Seemingly realizing something, Feng Chengfeng, who was initially overjoyed, calmed down slightly.

"Well, there's something I think I need to tell you all first..."

Feng Chengfeng recounted his experience filming at Zhuangmengyuan and the strange things he encountered, also mentioning that things might not go smoothly if filming were to begin later.

We may need to change locations at that time.

The staff at Laifu Film and Entertainment felt this was also a problem, so they reported it to Hao Lai.

Hao Lai burst out laughing upon hearing this.

“It’s alright. Let Feng Chengfeng continue filming. I think those strange things should stop happening after my male lead leaves.”

After all, those are ghosts, and ghosts can communicate with each other.

If Zhang Zhao's level were higher than Zhuang Mengyuan's, he might have been able to suppress her directly by level.

Of course, it's okay if the score is low. Zhang Zhao has a powerful figure like Xu Qingling behind him, so he has nothing to fear.

However, isn't this what's commonly known as fighting ghosts with ghosts? Fighting violence with violence?

So the staff relayed this to Feng Chengfeng.

Feng Chengfeng: ? Could it be that the male lead who was shoved in has some kind of magical background, or perhaps he understands metaphysics?

After hanging up the phone, the assistant director came to tell me that the male lead had quit the role.

"Alright, since he doesn't want to stay, then let him go."

Let's go, so we can make room for the new male lead in the loan group. It's just right.

The assistant director wondered if Director Feng had given up and was no longer willing to continue filming.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the male lead left, Director Feng immediately announced that Laifu Film and Television Entertainment would invest 20 million yuan, and also said that a new male lead would soon join the crew.

The new actors who hadn't left were overjoyed upon hearing the news.

It's good that they can continue filming. Although it's a ghost movie, it's an opportunity for newcomers who can't get any resources and have no fame.

Newcomers who want to stand out and rise to prominence must seize every opportunity.

The original male lead was furious when he heard the news.

He even felt that Feng Chengfeng was doing this on purpose.

However, he didn't plan to go back, because he left because a web series invited him to play a supporting role.

But he felt that even playing a supporting role in a web series was better than being the male lead in Feng Chengfeng's ghost movies.

If Feng Chengfeng's films were other commercial films, countless companies would want to invest, and countless big names would want to participate. There would be no chance for newcomers like them.

However, even newcomers scoff at Feng Chengfeng's ghost films, generally disapproving of them.

Even with the investment from Laifu Film and Television Entertainment, they still don't think it's a good idea. They even think Hao Lai is a fool and that Laifu Film and Television Entertainment's 20 million yuan investment is going down the drain.

However, some bigwigs who were at the same level as Hao Lai and also owned entertainment companies quickly connected the dots to the post Bian Dong made on his WeChat Moments.

They weren't as stupid as Hao Lai; on the contrary, Hao Lai was very clever, which is why he seized this opportunity.

Even if this horror movie flopped.

But anyone would be willing to spend 20 million to get acquainted with Bian Dong and Director Xu.

Let alone 20 million, even if it were 50 million or 100 million, they would throw it in without hesitation.
