Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 126: Sister Royal is also afraid of ghosts

"Boom, boom, boom."

A few dull knocks on the door woke up Song Zhi who was sleeping soundly.

I opened my eyes, still feeling the daze and fatigue that comes with staying up late. I took a look at my phone, and it was already past seven in the morning.

There was another knock on the door. She rubbed her dry eyes, sat up, climbed out of bed, and slowly walked towards the door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Wang Ou."

Song Zhi opened the door and Wang Ou was standing there. Although she was not wearing any makeup in the early morning, she still exuded a mature and bright temperament.

"Good morning, Sister Ou."

"Good morning. I saw you didn't go to have breakfast, so I guess you didn't get up." Wang Ou looked at Song Zhi's dark circles and dazed look with a warm smile, and asked curiously, "Why, did your group stay up late last night?"

Just like when Meng Bai filmed "Psychological Crime", "The Pretender" was also divided into groups A and B for simultaneous shooting because of its "dual-line story".

Although they were in the same crew, Wang Ou and Song Zhi's characters belonged to two different story lines. In the plot, they only met once in the middle and late stages, and they were basically in two different places during filming.

Originally, the two of them had little in common, but because there were not many girls in the group, and even fewer who were of similar age, and with Wang Ou's deliberate attempt to make friends, they gradually became familiar with each other.

"No, it was almost over at 10 o'clock last night." Song Zhi let the other person into the house and explained, "I was watching a drama last night and watched it for a little longer."

Wang Ou smiled and said, "What drama is so good? Recommend it to me."

"It's Meng Bai... Teacher Meng's new drama. Didn't it start airing yesterday?" Song Zhi said, "I just watched the updated ones."

Wang Ou was stunned. Yes, he had been thinking about this before, but he was too busy filming and forgot about it.

However, on the first day of the broadcast, only three or four episodes at most can be updated. Even according to the length of the TV series, it is only two hours.

But looking at Song Zhi's condition, it seemed more like he had just gone to bed at dawn.

"Well, actually it wasn't that long, but..." Song Zhi said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't dare to turn off the lights after watching it, so I lay there for a long time before I fell asleep."

"Is it so scary?" Wang Ou said in surprise.

She had never watched many online dramas before, and she saw the name "Soul Ferry" when she was learning about Meng Bai's information.

"I can't say it's scary, but I just felt a little creepy after watching it." Song Zhi stroked his hair, "Especially the third episode, which is a hotel similar to our room. After watching it and turning off the lights, I always felt that this room was very lively..."

"That's enough." Wang Ou interrupted Song Zhi, "There's no need to describe it in such detail."

What's wrong with Yujie? Yujie is also afraid of ghosts, okay!
Seeing that Wang Ou didn't want to imagine it, Song Zhi smiled sweetly, moved closer to her and said, "Sister Ou, is it convenient for me to sleep at your place for two nights?"

"Are you so scared?" Wang Ou smiled, and then said generously: "Okay, then I'll let my assistant take your place, and we'll sleep together tonight, and we can chat."

"Ah, thank you Sister Ou!" Song Zhi cheered and reached out to hug the other party to express his gratitude.

Because the makeup and styling of the character "Wang Manchun" are relatively complicated, Wang Ou had to go to the set first.

Coming to the Xiaobailou Studio in Hanyuan, this is not only the filming location of the "Ming Mansion" in the play, but also the location of the interior scene of "No. 76".

When she arrived at the lounge, the makeup artist of the crew began to put on makeup. During this time, she used her mobile phone to search for "Soul Ferry".

The first link that popped up was the playback link of Leshi.com. Wang Ou clicked it, but did not rush to play it directly. Instead, he took a look at the data first - the playback volume was over 2000 million, and there were more than 4 people online at the same time.

Because she didn't pay much attention to online dramas, she didn't know how many views a web drama normally gets. But she still remembered that when the popular "Gu Jian Qi Tan" released its performance report last year, the highest number of views on a single online broadcast platform was 1 billion.

The show was broadcast for two months, which means the number of views per day was about 1600 million.

Although TV dramas cannot be directly compared with web dramas, after all, they are broadcast on TV first and then on the Internet, and they are broadcast on multiple platforms. But what is the lineup and investment scale of the TV dramas, and what is the lineup and scale of the web dramas?

So even with such a rough comparison, you can probably imagine what level the performance of "Soul Ferry 2" is at.

Wang Ou was surprised. It turns out that online dramas are so popular now!

"Hey, Sister Ou, are you also watching 'Pendulum'?" The makeup artist girl glanced at her mobile phone screen casually and asked excitedly.

"Oh, isn't this our screenwriter's new play? Let's check it out." Wang Ou asked, "Are you following it too?"

"Yes, I've been watching it since the first season." The makeup artist was very excited and didn't stop working. "I strongly recommend you to watch the second episode of the new season. The plot is really amazing!"

"Really?" Wang Ou smiled, "But I haven't watched the first season. I'm afraid I won't understand the relationships between the characters, the main storyline, etc."

"It's okay. Apart from the three main characters, the rest of the plot has little to do with the first season. And this is a unit drama, so it won't make any difference if you skip around."

"Okay, since you recommend it so much, I'll take a look at it when I have time." Wang Ou said, "I'll talk to Teacher Meng when he comes back. I have to thank you for your recommendation."

"Really, Sister Ou!" The makeup artist girl said in surprise, "Then can you help me and Teacher Meng Bai ask if we can get the male lead's autograph?"

"Okay, I'll definitely help you convey that."

Wang Ou didn't have many scenes to shoot today, so he finished work early in the afternoon. He asked Song Zhi on WeChat and learned that she might have to shoot until the evening, so he said he would go back first.

After returning to the actor's apartment, she tidied up the room first, since there were outsiders coming. After tidying up, she sat down at the table and opened the first episode of "Soul Ferry 2".

While waiting for the commercials, she checked the number of views. It was only one day later, but it had already risen to 2900 million.

Just like what the makeup artist girl said, although I haven’t watched the previous part, after watching the first episode I have a general idea of who the male and female protagonists are and the relationship between them.

But what she didn't expect the most was that the male protagonist died right at the beginning.

Wang Ou exclaimed, it’s true, the pace and plot of this web drama are much faster than traditional TV dramas.

As for the scary scenes, she thought they were okay, not as scary as Song Zhi described. But it might be because the crew took the audience's emotions into consideration and did not set up too many scary scenes at the beginning.

After the first episode ended, Wang Ou felt relaxed and clicked on the second episode, which was the episode that the makeup artist girl had strongly recommended to her in the morning.

The atmosphere of this episode is obviously much darker than the previous one, especially after seeing the plot in the mental hospital in the first half. Although it was not too dark, she still went to turn on the lights.

After coming back, he hesitated in front of the table, took the pad, went back to the bed, rolled up the quilt and wrapped himself up.

After completing the preparations, she then clicked to continue playing.

In the plot, the hero pushes open the door of a ward in a mental hospital, only to find himself traveling to a Japanese military hospital during the Republic of China period.

Looking at the strange atmosphere of rows of invaders sitting in the audience and enjoying the opera performance, Wang Ou took a deep breath and prepared himself to face all kinds of horrific scenes.

ten minutes later.

Looking at the raging flames on the screen and the figures rushing towards the enemy one after another, she sniffed and felt tears welling up in her eyes.
