Entertainment Era: Starting with Teaching Sister Meng to Sing

With cheap special effects, the tombstone sways from side to side, and the coffin on the ground emits a green light and shakes violently.

Then, with a "whoosh," Miss Lu sprang out from underground and stood right in front of Zhang Yudan.

Zhang Yudan was so frightened that he tightly closed his eyes. After a long while, he cautiously opened them, glancing at them one last time, then another...

Miss Lu compared her features with the person floating before her, then exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Lu!"

Miss Lu let out an "Ah!" and the fiery green light on her body vanished as if extinguished by water.

Zhang Yudan stood up, and Miss Lu was forced back step by step by him.

"It really is you! I'm so glad. I never thought I would see you again. It must be because I have been so sincere for the past three months that I have finally been able to see you again, Miss Lu."

"Oh dear!"

Miss Lu grinned, her green aura intensifying even more: "I'm a ghost, aren't you afraid of me?!"

"Pfft... If all ghosts are like this, give me a hundred, okay? I could fight them for hundreds of days and nights!"

A sudden barrage of comments made Wang Xiaozhou and the others laugh.

That's true, firstly because the production team didn't have enough budget, so the special effects couldn't be perfect.

Wang Xiaozhou thought that instead of making it shoddy, he might as well turn it into a meme.

So there was no scary atmosphere on the screen at all. The special effects on Mao Xiaotong's face were actually not light, only two big green words pasted on it: [Green Light]!

This tactic was used in a short drama called "Unexpectedly" in my previous life, and the response was quite good.

Secondly, Mao Xiaotong's face is just too sweet. Her big eyes blink and her long eyelashes flutter. Although she deliberately grins and tries to scare people, she is not scared at all. In fact, people even want to take her home and continue to scare her.

After one comment appeared, white subtitles quickly floated up.

Tencent did recommend this short film, after all, it was a buyout contract. The more people watch this short film, the more money they make. At this point, it has already started to attract viewers.

"I came from next door. The stuff Xingcan makes these days is getting worse and worse. It's almost the end of the world and they're still making lovey-dovey stuff all the time. I can't be bothered to complain. Let's see how this one turns out."

"The male lead is great! Where did he debut? I never noticed there was such a handsome newcomer in the entertainment industry before."

"The acting is also good enough. The abbot in the early episodes was probably an extra. His delivery of lines and emotional portrayal were very professional."

"This male lead is really a pleasant surprise. Among the younger generation of actors, I have never seen anyone with such a profound command of dialogue. You can hear what he is saying even without watching the comments."

"The female lead is interesting too. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before. She really brought the arrogant and shrewdness of a young lady from a wealthy family to life."

"Upstairs, the female lead played a role in Zhen Huan. When I watched it with my mom, I said she was beautiful. But that director obviously didn't know how to direct as well as the director of this short film. Mao Xiaotong looks even more beautiful now."

"For those of you in the university's acting department, the male lead's acting is truly amazing. It's just that he's so handsome that you guys tend to overlook it. Also, has no one discussed the plot of this short film? Studying really is useful; it can even bring the dead back to life, hahaha..."

......

"Although humans and ghosts are different, you once saved my life, so I believe you won't harm me. Even if you do, I'm not afraid."

Zhang Yudan was not frightened by the green light emanating from Miss Lu, and continued to nag her as before.

Miss Lu exclaimed "Ah?" again, and the green light on her body dissipated.

Under the bright moon, the scene shifts, and Zhang Yudan has explained the whole story to Miss Lu. Miss Lu sighs, "Oh, you silly scholar, what's your name?"

Zhang Yudan clasped his hands in greeting: "I am Zhang Yudan from Zhaoyuan County."

"Zhang Yudan? Fish balls... fish ball meatballs? Your name sounds delicious."

"No, no, no." Zhang Yudan waved his hands repeatedly: "Miss Lu, this Yudan is not that fish ball. It is taken from someone who has no desires in the world, someone who will live day and night..."

"Alright, alright, you bookworm. You read poetry to my grave every day, aren't you annoying me enough? What do you mean by 'no desires day or night'?"

Fish balls are fish ball meatballs!

"Uh...yes, I am Fish Ball."

Seeing that Zhang Yudan was no longer arguing, Miss Lu suddenly flew to the edge of the cliff and sighed as she gazed at the scenery.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yudan asked her why she had not yet been reincarnated. Miss Lu replied that she had committed too many killings in her previous life, and even if she were to be reincarnated, she could only be reborn as an animal in the six realms of existence.

During their conversation, the concept of the nine-petaled golden lotus was successfully introduced.

Miss Lu made a hand seal and chanted an incantation, and a budding golden lotus appeared in her hand: "If I can save one life in this world, one petal of the nine-petaled golden lotus will open. Only after I have saved nine lives and all nine petals have opened can I be reborn as a human in my next life."

But I'm a ghost!

Without the support of yang energy, they cannot escape this desolate graveyard; where can they find hope for salvation?

Zhang Yudan, in a fit of rage, pounded his fists and palms, saying, "I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse, but I don't know where to begin!"

Miss Lu circled around Zhang Yudan several times, making him blush with embarrassment, before playfully saying, "Yes, it's a favor, you can carry me on your back!"

"What? Carrying the young lady on your back?"

"What, aren't you a man? Men are all about yang energy, right? If you carry me, you'll be my horse, and then we can leave this cemetery!"

"Ah... I understand, I understand. But men and women should not touch each other, I'm afraid it would damage your reputation, Miss."

"I'm a ghost now, what reputation do I have left? Come on, let's have a toast!"

Miss Lu floated directly onto Zhang Yudan's neck, pressing him down so hard that he swayed left and right, stumbling and falling, and actually crossed the cemetery area.

The main storyline unfolds from there, with Zhang Yudan carrying Miss Lu to save nine lives – this is the central plot of the short drama.

Zhang Yudan carried Miss Lu on his back and ran very fast: "Miss Lu, how come you are so light?"

"I'm a ghost, Fish Ball, hahaha..."

This scene was filmed many times. Wang Xiaozhou wanted to show that the person he was carrying was very light, but in reality, Mao Xiaotong was a living person, and no matter how good her figure was, she weighed 100 pounds.

Fortunately, Mao Xiaotong studied dance, and the two worked together for a long time to create the scene where Wang Xiaozhou was carrying a ball of cotton, and Mao Xiaotong was floating on Wang Xiaozhou's back.

But this scene was interpreted differently by the little girl, Da Huang, who was watching the short drama.

"The male lead is really strong, carrying such a big person on his back and still running so fast."

"This physique looks very strong. He has a big nose, and his physical attributes are top-notch."

"Tch, you guys really don't understand. The main thing is that this guy is strong but not fat; he's quite lean, you know?"

......

In Wang Xiaozhou's living room.

Wang Xiaozhou looked back at his relatives, wanting to say he didn't understand, but he couldn't go up and turn off the comments, as that would seem like he was trying to cover something up.

So... whether they understand or not is another matter, but in any case, we have to leave for Linzhou tomorrow so that Meng Ziyi can learn something properly.
