Chapter 68: Horror Movies

Tang Qiaoqiao and Shen Yue quickly solved a whole roast duck. Tang Qiaoqiao used the rest of the duck carcass to boil soup and added winter melon to it.

There is still some meat on the duck carcass, which is already delicious. There is no need to add any seasoning to the duck soup with winter melon. She just needs to sprinkle some salt to taste and boil it until the soup turns white.

Both of their stomachs were a little full, so Tang Qiaoqiao lay down on the rocking chair placed next to the small vegetable garden, resting while continuing to read the script.

Shen Yue simply moved his works over. The two of them faced the green vegetable garden in a yard, felt the light breeze, and no one said anything. They just sat quietly and did their own things. It was very comfortable.

However, this kind of happy life won't last long. Tang Qiaoqiao soon began to prepare for entering the filming group. It is impossible to learn how to make a thriller movie by experiencing it personally, so Shen Yue suggested that Tang Qiaoqiao to learn by watching classic thrillers in film history.

Tang Qiaoqiao felt that it was very reasonable, so she downloaded many thrillers and horror films. She also pulled Shen Yue to watch them together in the audio-visual room.

Watching horror movies with girls is the second trick Li Ji taught Shen Yue.

However, things were completely unexpected. The scene he was expecting, Tang Qiaoqiao fall into his arms with fright, did not appear.

Because Tang Qiaoqiao was not scared, but it was Shen Yue who was scared.

Who knows where Tang Qiaoqiao got these films. Each one is darker than the other and more frightening.

Shen Yue watched the thriller with Tang Qiaoqiao for a long time, and his little heart was overwhelmed.

And Tang Qiaoqiao, a heartless person, is completely fine. She even got time to summarize the similarities and expected track of the hero and heroine.

She casually said, "These people are going on vacation in the suburbs as well. We can guess the next plot."

Shen Yue didn't say a word.

Tang Qiaoqiao wondered why Shen Yue suddenly stopped talking. She leaned over, looked at him, and saw the corners of his mouth were pressed tightly. She asked tentatively, "You are not afraid, right?"

"How is it possible." Shen Yue clenched his fists and tried to keep his expression unchanged. "I just think these movies are boring."

"Really?" Tang Qiaoqiao looked suspicious.

Shen Yue said, "You really didn't screen your choice of movies."

"Nonsense. These movies are all obtained from major recommendation lists, and their reviews are very good." Tang Qiaoqiao retorted, "It's your level of appreciation that has a problem."

"Don't worry. If this one doesn't suit your taste, there will be seven or eight more next. There must be one that you like."

Shen Yue: ...

'There are seven or eight more?'

'Gosh!'

Tang Qiaoqiao was really not afraid when she was watching it, but when she turned off the lights to go to sleep at night, her anxiety came out.

In the silent and dark room, scenes of horror that she had seen during the day began to flash in Tang Qiaoqiao's mind.

If it's just a simple ghost movie, like Sadako, she won't be afraid at all. But the directors of those classic thrillers are masters of creating a horror atmosphere.

High-level thrillers usually have a strong fearsome plot, not the kind of sensory fright that shocked people using the sound on the scene. When you think about the plot, it is extremely scary.

Tang Qiaoqiao is like this right now. She feels like she is not alone in this room.

There seemed to be something hidden in every corner. On the ceiling, under the bed, in the cabinet, in the bathroom. Even the dolls on her bedside began to look weird.

Tang Qiaoqiao put the doll down loudly, not daring to stare into its eyes.

"Don't think about it. Close your eyes and count the sheep."

Tang Qiaoqiao shook her head and kept trying to hypnotize herself.

But the more she thinks about this kind of thing, the more she can't sleep. Tang Qiaoqiao held her breath and only exposed her eyes outside the quilt.

At this moment, the corner of the curtain suddenly moved. Tang Qiaoqiao almost jumped out of her chest with a scream. She opened the quilt and ran outside.

"Bang, bang, bang." Just as Shen Yue put down his phone to prepare to go to bed, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Shen Yue, have you slept?" It was Tang Qiaoqiao's voice.

"Come in." Shen Yue sat up straight and turned on the bedside lamp.

As soon as his voice sounded, Tang Qiaoqiao slammed the door open and ran in.

She was holding a messy quilt in her hand. The slippers on her feet were worn on the wrong legs, and her breathing was a little short.

Shen Yue looked at her and asked, "What are you doing?"

Tang Qiaoqiao scratched her temples with an embarrassed expression. Without even thinking about it, she immediately rushed upstairs. What should she do now?

Admit to Shen Yue that she was scared by the horror movie?

It seems to be embarrassing.

She thought about it for a while and said, "I saw the light upstairs, so I thought that you couldn't sleep. Why don't we watch a movie?"

Shen Yue raised his eyebrows. "Still watching? It's already over 1 o'clock."

"No. Let's watch a comedy this time to adjust some emotions. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will not be able to fall asleep." Tang Qiaoqiao explained quickly.

Shen Yue looked at her suspiciously. Suddenly he thought of something and said weirdly, "Are you scared by the horror movie? The adrenaline came up, and you dare not sleep alone?"

Tang Qiaoqiao paused and barely smiled, "Impossible. When I watched it, I was not afraid. How could I be afraid now? I was worried that you are afraid."

The explanation is clearly a cover-up. Tang Qiaoqiao's expression had told him everything.

The corners of Shen Yue's mouth raised slightly. It seemed that Li Ji's method was really useful.

He pretended to ponder about it for a few seconds before saying, "Well, what do you want to see?"

Tang Qiaoqiao immediately smiled. If Shen Yue kept rejecting, she really didn't know what excuse she could find to stay here.

Tang Qiaoqiao jumped onto the bed familiarly. She picked up the tablet and rummaged through some comedy dramas.

Shen Yue didn't expose her either. Tang Qiaoqiao's hair is messy. When the light from the bedside lamp hit her, her whole person was covered with a gentle halo.

"How about this one?" Tang Qiaoqiao showed the screen to Shen Yue.

Shen Yue took a casual glance and nodded.

Tang Qiaoqiao placed the tablet between the two and found a comfortable position to lie down.

With Shen Yue beside her, her uneasy heart gradually settled.

Tang Qiaoqiao curled up like a kitten, the scent of fresh watery peach lingering in the air faintly.

Shen Yue didn't pay attention to the content of the movie at all. Tang Qiaoqiao's every move affected his heart.

As time passed by, the movie has not finished yet, but the tablet fell down, and Tang Qiaoqiao didn't respond.

Shen Yue lowered his head to see that Tang Qiaoqiao had fallen asleep.

He chuckled, carefully took the tablet from her hand, and covered her with a quilt. He looked at her deeply for a while before turning off the light and lying down.

'Good night.'

Just when Tang Qiaoqiao was tortured by a lot of thrillers at night, Weibo was not calm again.

An entertainment marketing account, "Eight Entertainment Master," posted a Weibo.【"A certain superfluous actress has been on Weibo's headlines every day. She seems to be very popular, but her latest resource is actually a domestic horror movie! Which rising little flower stars would play in domestic horror movies during their peak period? The fans will tear up the agency! This kind of movie will be simply a joke. If you have no resources and no background, just mix in reality shows. It's not bad to be a comedian." 】

The blogger's sarcastic remarks are strange, almost pointing by connotation to Tang Qiaoqiao, which immediately aroused discussions among netizens.

The sugar rabbits joined the comments section first.

【I follow Qiao Bao and there is no official announcement. So this is not appointed yet】

【I don't understand about resources. All sugar rabbits do not understand. Whatever Qiao Bao plays, we will watch it. F*ck you】

【The last screenshot was fake. Anyway, is it popular to spread rumors now? What's wrong with domestic horror movies? Domestic horror movies are usually rotten, but do you have to avoid them with a stick? Besides, you don't even read the script. You can borrow it first before laughing at it.】

This Weibo was refuted by fans many times, and even many passersby spoke for Tang Qiaoqiao.

The blogger was so angry that he posted another post on top:【"I will leave it here. If Tang Qiaoqiao's horror film is not a bad one, I will eat my keyboard live!"】

He was so sure because he knows about Tang Qiaoqiao's new film director from the industry. His name is Chen Hao. Based on Chen Hao's history before, he made many horror movies, which are either about the coin spirit game or Ouija board. How could such a person shoot any good movies overnight?

Therefore, he is bound to win this bet.

Netizens were only half-trusting this news, but his credibility immediately soared when the blogger made this vow. Adhering to the tradition of watching the excitement, people who came to eat melon seed, pass it more and more widely. The topic immediately became lively.

Director Chen Hao has been paying close attention to the outside world's reaction since Tang Qiaoqiao agreed to take "Cocoon."

Unsurprisingly, the bad-mouthing voices have appeared.

Chen Hao was a little frustrated and even searched for the reaction of Tang Qiaoqiao's fans.

Although most fans unanimously said that they would not recognize it without an official announcement, some fans still started to scream on Weibo about Tang Qiaoqiao's agency company that doesn't know how to treat people. They even gave Tang Qiaoqiao such a strange job, which will completely consume her fanbase. It would be harder for Qiao Bao to enter the mainstream circle afterward, and so on.

In this era, the relationship between fans and celebrities in the entertainment industry is getting closer and closer. Even many traffic stars rely too much on their fans. They will take into account the opinions of fans before setting up their work arrangements. Because of the large-scale opposition from fans, an actor rejecting a role has happened more than once or twice.

Tang Qiaoqiao has only verbally agreed and not yet sign the contract, so Chen Hao was worried that she would retreat.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Tang Qiaoqiao suddenly called him wanting to meet.

Chen Hao rushed to the coffee shop they agreed on anxiously. When he arrived, Tang Qiaoqiao was already there.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" Chen Hao said, lacking confidence.

Tang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "I want to talk to you about the details of the script. I think we can go a little deeper in some places."

Chen Hao looked surprised. "Aren't you here to talk about resigning?"

"Why would I resign?" Tang Qiaoqiao thought this was a strange question.

Chen Hao smiled bitterly. "Because many people on Weibo are not optimistic. I saw that some of your fans are also against it."

Tang Qiaoqiao waved her hand and said, "They objected because they haven't seen the script. It's normal. I'm not that kind of person who will change her minds just because of other people's opinions."

Chen Hao: "Why do you trust me?"

"If I said it was intuition, do you believe it?" Tang Qiaoqiao said.

Chen Hao was stunned. He didn't know whether to believe it or not. In short, Tang Qiaoqiao's eyes were very sincere.

"Don't mention those irrelevant things. I have some suggestions for the script, and I want to discuss it with you." Tang Qiaoqiao took out the notes she had made and discussed them with him one by one. These notes are what she has learned from watching thrillers in the past two days.

After listening to her, Chen Hao was very pleasantly surprised. Tang Qiaoqiao's suggestion was very thoughtful. If it were added to the movie, it would definitely add a lot of colors.

The two people immersed themselves in revising the script carefully. Chen Hao has now eliminated all his doubts. Tang Qiaoqiao really wants to act in this movie.

When he saw that Tang Qiaoqiao was so dedicated, Chen Hao did not want to hide her from her. "Now there is only one question left, which is the investment."

"You haven't found the investment yet?" Tang Qiaoqiao asked.

"No, there was a boss who had been investing in my movies, but this time he read the script and found out that it wasn't the same as before. It is not about female students screaming and running away. So suddenly, he stopped investing." Chen Hao said, "But don't worry, another company has contacted me. It is a very big company. I will definitely try to win it."
