Change the world with entertainment with Yokai Girl

Section 141, Chapter 74: Green Screen Photography - The Red Lady

After the break ended, although the staff were puzzled, filming had to continue.

In Western film studios, medieval castles and white churches are built, as well as more modern Western villas. With the help of computer special effects, British aristocratic courtyards of various eras and styles can be created.

The director was Sister Fu, with messy long curly hair. Wearing leather boots, she was at least 1.8 meters tall and wore sunglasses. She exuded a terrifying aura on set, completely on par with the male directors. She was practically a tyrant on set.

The tall, slender, and handsome man with black hair was dressed in a butler's uniform. He was mysterious and elegant, and could perfectly resolve all kinds of difficult tasks with a smile. He would only humbly say, "I am just a butler."

In the afternoon, Qin Jing experienced a new kind of filming experience, different from her previous realistic dramas: green screen photography.

In some scenes where special effects are needed, the production team would build a pure green or pure blue backdrop to facilitate the compositing of the computer-generated effects during post-production.

When shooting such scenes, we take care to ensure that the clothing of the characters in the scene does not match the color of the background. For example, Europeans have blue eyes, so a green screen is usually used.

If the filming location has scenery such as green grass or green ponds, then a blue screen will be used.

In the movie after the special effects are completed, audiences will see explosions and firestorms, battles with monsters and beasts, and fights against villains with evil powers against this backdrop.

Whether soaring through the sky, drifting among the stars in the universe, or floating on the blue sea, it is a visual feast that makes you feel excited, happy, and stimulated to the point of secreting adrenaline.

However, when the actors entered the green screen background for filming, they were in an awkward position with nothing in the way.

However, these weren't really problems for Qin Jing. It's just that it's not a JoJo pose, so she had absolutely no desire to display it.

Qin Jing arrived in front of the green screen and first sat on a green chair, looking down. This would be made into a beautiful scene where the protagonist sits on a magnificent throne.

Then Qin Jing pretended to squat down, imagining what danger was behind him, and he narrowly dodged by lying down.

"Wow, amazing! Is this the first time this kid has worked with a green screen? He has such a vivid imagination. I felt like he was really being attacked there," a staff member exclaimed in admiration.

“Well, as young master Ciel, it wouldn’t do if he didn’t have this much strength.” Kuroba said, but his eyes were full of approval.

"..." Qin Jing thought to herself, "It's just that wings have grown out of the back. There are yokai with wings flying around everywhere in the academy, and yokai that walk in strange postures. I can just imitate them a little bit."

"Hmph, the real show is about to begin!" Sister Fu said sternly. The previous scenes were just staged and solo performances. The real challenge was imagining yourself in the unseen storyline while reacting differently to that scene and acting opposite others.

Under the green screen, Ciel, as the master, walked in front, while the black butler followed closely behind.

Because she was wearing an eye patch and blue contact lenses, walking was very inconvenient. Qin Jing accidentally tripped over a stone and was about to fall to the ground.

The crew members around were shocked, thinking the scene was going to fail.

Just then, the all-powerful butler immediately reached out and caught his master who was about to fall, gently asking the person in his arms, "Are you alright?"

"Haa..." The female crew members around breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and smiled with satisfaction.

Since the director didn't call "cut," it meant the acting had to continue. The quick-witted and agile Black Butler brought the out-of-control scene back on track. Now it was up to Jingyue to see if she could salvage the situation!

Sebastian stood up from the butler's arms, his deep blue eyes wide as stars, showing no gratitude whatsoever. Instead, he scolded the butler, "Sebastian, you should have caught me before I hit the rock!"

"I am truly sorry," the black butler said humbly and sincerely.

"Cut!" the director yelled, then ran up to Qin Jing and berated her, "Jingyue! You've messed up again!"

"I'm sorry, it's my fault..." Qin Jing apologized to the furious director.

But the usually stern director then gave a thumbs-up and suddenly changed his tune, saying, "Well done! This effect is better than I expected! Although you made a mistake at the beginning, your subsequent reactions were excellent!"

This scene was designed to portray the Black Butler's unconditional obedience to his capricious master, like a loyal dog. Although the planned performance was good, this unexpected event perfectly captured the hearts of all the girls in the audience.

The "rescue the damsel in distress" trope is already quite clichéd and even vulgar. If not acted well, it can be seen as artificial. However, because it was an unexpected accident, the scene captured by the camera was so real that it added a very exciting moment to the movie.

"It's all for the philosophy of love!" The women in the directing, photography, and lighting teams all looked at Qin Jing with loving expressions; if there were a halo behind her, she would look like a saint.

"The results are surprisingly good. It seems that not only will the DVDs be a huge success, but the box office might also be a big hit," the producer said.

"But? This is a BL film, right? Even if Sister Fu is the director, can it really be a big hit?" someone asked doubtfully.

"What are you talking about? How can a movie with a British background not have BL elements? But as the saying goes, whether it's BL or not is all up to your imagination."

"We'll make some sacrifices for the sake of box office success in the movie version. The basic premise of Ciel and Sebastian is that of a nobleman and his butler, except that the master is arrogant and the butler is loyal, and their relationship is actually very good, isn't that enough?"

"Don't underestimate yourself! True comrades can watch Gundam battles like a BL drama!" Director Sister Fu said matter-of-factly.

"Oh my god! As expected of Sister Fu! We will follow you to the death!" The crew members shouted emotionally.

"Ha... I don't quite understand, but anyway, this show is going to be a hit, right?" Qin Jing, who was studying nearby, looked at Kuroba in Sebastian mode and asked in confusion.

"Well, I think this play is very interesting," Kuroba said with a smile, looking at Qin Jing.

"Great! We've finished filming here, now it's time for the main event. Has the actress playing Angelina arrived yet?" Sister Fu asked the person next to her.

"We've arrived. They're in the dressing room now," the assistant director said as he stepped forward.

"Alright, hurry up and make the arrangements."

Next up is the highlight of the film, the Red Lady, Ciel's aunt.

Her name was Angelina, and because she had bright red hair, often appeared at various banquets and balls in red dresses, and was a former baroness, she was known as the 'Red Lady'.

The female doctor working at the Royal London Hospital is a brash, lewd woman who loves to make crude jokes, and her favorite thing is Sebastian's buttocks.

Lady Red often visits Charles, and although Charles doesn't say it, he cares deeply for this only relative.

In the evening, Charles went up to his aunt and kissed her cheek, offering a goodnight greeting, before returning to his room to rest.

Despite her cheerful demeanor, Lady Red had actually experienced some very tragic events.

Shortly after she became pregnant, she was traveling with her husband when they were involved in a car accident. The out-of-control carriage caused her husband to die on the spot, and she also suffered internal organ rupture due to the impact. Her unborn child died, and in order to save her life, she had to undergo surgery to remove the child from her womb along with her uterus.

With the support of her sister and her sister's children, she gradually recovered from her despair and grief.

But after that, a fire broke out at the Phantomhive house, her brother-in-law and sister, whom she secretly loved, were brutally murdered, and her nephew disappeared.

On that day, she lost everything.

Can a house where no one is waiting can be called a home after losing a husband, children, first love, sister, and nephew? Can life without family still be considered life?

Section 142, Chapter 75: Kuroba's True Face

Recently, a series of heinous murders have been occurring in London, all targeting prostitutes. The victims were all found with their bellies ripped open and their internal organs removed, leading the police to call the monstrous figure "Jack the Ripper," whose infamy quickly spread throughout London.

As the 'Queen's hound,' Ciel naturally couldn't allow such a thing that threatened the prestige of the royal family to continue, so he began to investigate the case with Sebastian.

Ciel dressed up as a woman as bait and, along with Sebastian, lured out the real culprit on the streets late at night. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be his aunt.

That happened when her sister was murdered, her nephew went missing, and she was at her most desperate.

“Children are just a burden. You can’t get customers if you have a child with you,” a prostitute who came to the hospital for an abortion complained to her.

When the prostitute uttered those words, Madam Hong's eyes flashed with resentment.

"You possess what I desperately crave but can never have again. I've lost everything I longed for, the people I cherished most... Yet you possess what I desire most, and you want to abandon it!"

"Unforgivable! Die! Die!" In the dead of night, Madam Red followed the prostitute who had undergone an abortion and murdered her. Then, in a deserted alley, she cut open her abdomen and dug out her internal organs and uterus.

It was there that she encountered the Red Grim Reaper.

Lady Red made a pact with Death, constantly killing prostitutes who had undergone abortions. Having lost her fertility, Lady Red deeply hated and cursed these women. Death would cut open the prostitutes' abdomens, kill them, and then Lady Red would remove their uteruses.

After that, Charles suddenly returned, but she had already killed people and could no longer stop.

Sebastian is battling death, while Ciel faces the Red Lady alone, wielding a murder weapon.

Even so, Lady Red could not bring herself to harm the person she loved, the child born to her beloved sister, and her most beloved nephew in the world. Thus, she was killed by Death, who was tired of her.

As Ciel's only relative, at the Red Lady's funeral, everyone offered white flowers, while Ciel picked up a red spider lily and draped it with his favorite red dress.

“Plain colors don’t suit you with formal wear. You’re definitely more suited to this bright red.” Charles chuckled and kissed his wife’s cheek, as if saying goodnight before bed.

The young boy turned and left the church. His back was still slender and thin, but he looked even more lonely.

The church was bathed in light, while the boy stood in a dark corner, with only a deacon in black following behind him.

"Once something is lost, it can never be regained. I don't like giving up halfway through a game, nor do I play balls I'm not confident of winning. Even if I get revenge, the dead won't come back to life, and they won't be happy. I'm here because of my own choice. I won't stop, and I won't regret any step I take."

"The Red Lady hesitated to kill me, so she lies here, so I will not hesitate!"

The boy has now lost another family member. He was frail from childhood and was pampered by his family. His father and mother preferred Ciel, as did the Red Lady. Ciel was the one who was betrothed to Elizabeth, but Ciel sacrificed himself to the devil for him. However, he made a pact with the devil who ate Ciel's soul and survived by borrowing Ciel's name, all for the sake of revenge.

The boy, who had been prepared from the start, said:

"Sebastian! I command you! You cannot betray me, you cannot leave my side, absolutely not!"

"Yes, my lord." The black-clad butler knelt down and bowed respectfully in response.

The light from outside shone in, casting long, long shadows of the boy and the black-clad butler.

A long silence fell over the set. Director Fu, sitting in her seat, took a deep breath, pulling herself out of her heavy heart, and shouted:

"Crack!"

"I hereby announce! Filming for the movie has officially wrapped!!!"

"Whoa whoa whoa!!!" Only then did the staff put down the equipment and cheer loudly.

"Nobody's getting away with this until we're all drunk tonight!"

That evening, Sister Fu took the lead in raising her glass, and the women in the crew all held red wine glasses, but the glasses were filled with baijiu (Chinese liquor). The entire private room was filled with the strong aroma of Red Star Erwotou (a type of Chinese liquor).

"Let me toast everyone! Thank you for being with me and helping me realize my dream of making this movie! Cheers!" Sister Fu said, tilting her head back and drinking a full glass of baijiu down her throat.

The other women were also heavy drinkers; one by one, they picked up their glasses and downed them in one gulp, turning the glasses upside down and swirling them around at the people next to them, leaving not a drop.

"Okay! Let's do it again! Cheers!" Sister Fu nodded in satisfaction and poured herself another glass of wine.

"Then I'll be going now! Goodbye..." Seeing this, Qin Jing, who was a minor, prepared to sneak away after finishing her dinner.

"Jingyue... forget about any character settings, you're definitely a boy, right! Come here, let me give you a hug."

"That's right, Xiao Jingyue, with your pretty little butt, I can tell at a glance that you're a tsundere uke."

"Director! Auntie! Are you drunk?" Qin Jing said, her face turning ashen, as she felt the oppressive malice coming from behind her.

"What? The ladies aren't drunk at all! Hehehe! Let's confirm." The women laughed, their faces flushed, waving their fingers like tentacles.

Under the influence of alcohol, the women, who usually maintained a sense of humility, began to go berserk. Qin Jing, who was grabbed by the shoulder and unable to escape, felt as if she were surrounded by zombies.

"Alright, alright, ladies, let me have a drink with you." Fortunately, at this moment, Kuroba came up with a wine glass and blocked the women.

Having found a new target, the drunken women let go of Qin Jing and all surrounded Hei Yu.

"Oh, Sebastian has come to the rescue! First, pour me some wine!"

"Kuroba, have a drink with me."

"Okay, okay. Let's all drink together." Kuroba said, going all out and drinking with everyone.

"Young Master Qin Jing, let's go quickly." At this moment, Black Fox walked over and grabbed Qin Jing, trying to leave.

"Wait! Black Fox, I can't leave Black Feather here." Qin Jing couldn't bear to let such a good demon stay here and be fed to the wolves.

"Black Feather, it's alright. We'll stay together tonight, and you can thank us later." Black Fox decisively called the team members and they made their escape.

"Let's go!" Black Fox grabbed Qin Jing, picked up the little panda Dai Dai who was drinking and unwilling to leave, and quickly left.

"I will definitely repay this favor!" Qin Jing silently vowed in her heart, and silently prayed that you wouldn't expose your true colors because you drank too much and be taken back to Penglai.

After that, Kuroba did not return for a long time.

The next morning, Qin Jing woke up because her biological clock hadn't adjusted yet. In her groggy state, she heard the sound of a door being opened outside. Remembering what Black Fox had said yesterday that Black Feather would also be coming back to stay here, she quickly got out of bed to check on him.

From last night until 3 a.m., Kuroba fought against more than forty women from the film crew who had gone crazy from drinking, and they kept drinking until this morning. Only now has he taken a taxi back to this villa where monsters gather.

As Kuroba pushed open the door and walked in, he felt hot all over and his head was spinning. His clothes, stained with alcohol and oil from the groping hands of the man all night, felt sticky and very uncomfortable.

Normally, only people of the same sex live in this villa, so I didn't think much of it and took off my shirt.

"Black Feather! Come back..." Qin Jing had just walked out of the room when she saw a tall woman with black hair, her body mostly exposed, just as she tore open the white cloth wrapped around her chest, revealing her nipples.

"Ah!" Kuroba saw Qin Jing, froze for a moment, then her already red face turned even redder to her ears. She cried out in surprise and quickly reached out to cover her chest. Having lived in the outside world for several years, she had fully accepted the human concept of chastity.

"I'm sorry!" Qin Jing quickly transformed into Fox Jing, but judging from the other party's reaction, it seemed that this trick wouldn't work. This time, it wasn't a beast form, but a human form. There was no way she could get away with it. She slipped back to her room.

Completely bewildered, he huddled on the bed. So Kuroba was a woman! That's why Black Fox was so unconcerned when Kuroba offered herself to the tigress last night, and she pulled him away without a second thought.

Section 143, Chapter 76: Before the Prince Rebelled

Three years ago, Kuroba graduated from Hourai Academy. Because he admired the idol culture in the human world, he participated in the idol talent recruitment held by the Yokai Sage.

She passed the recruitment process, received basic training, and arrived in the human world. There, she underwent various training sessions with the local teachers and was taken to participate in various performances. Everywhere was brightly lit and dazzlingly beautiful. There were so many things she had never experienced before at the academy.
