There were a few lines of pen writing on the horizontal margin of the paper: I am very unhappy because the original protagonist Jiang Li is missing. I persuaded the director many times to postpone the filming and find someone first before filming. However, I didn't expect that the director ignored my request and insisted on Yan Wanling taking the lead.
(It turns out that the protagonist of this drama was originally this person named Jiang Li. No wonder the little girl said that the protagonist was her mother, so this girl should be Jiang Li’s daughter!)
Lin Zhixin sighed in realization, and then continued to watch.
…I accidentally discovered the true secret to this show’s curse…the videotape…
(Secret? What secret? Videotape? Why are many fonts here unclear?)
Lin Zhixin came back to her senses, looked at the videotape, and smiled.
(You will know the truth after watching this video tape! Looks like I have to take it away.)
Lin Zhixin picked up the video tape and was about to put it in her pocket, when a voice sounded.
"Ms. Lin, you can't take away the things from the archives!" It turned out to be the security guard saying behind her.
"No, I just took a look…"
"Really? Thanks for your cooperation."
(Damn! If I can’t take the strap off, I don’t know what’s going on. What should I do?)
(By the way, isn’t Shen Yunshu Sun Ling’s mother? I can just go find Sun Ling! Well, that’s it.)
After thinking about it, Lin Zhixin smiled and said to the security guard: "It's time for me to go."
After Lin Zhixin walked out of the archives, she went straight to Sun Ling's home without saying anything and met Sun Ling.
"Sun Ling, I…" Lin Zhixin hesitated to say what she wanted to say.
"Is there anything you need?"
"Sun Ling, what's your mother's name?"
"Shen Yunshu. What's wrong?" Sun Ling stared at Lin Zhixin.
"Is she the screenwriter of "Ghost"?"
"Do you know?" Sun Ling asked quietly.
"Why didn't you tell me before? What kind of secret is hidden in this? As good friends, you must tell me!"
"I don't know! What's the secret?" Sun Ling said in a panic.
"You must know, otherwise you wouldn't always say curses to me before." Lin Zhixin stared at Sun Ling with her eyes and pressed her.
"That's because people kept dying in order to film this movie. Isn't this a curse?" Sun Ling covered her mouth with her hands after finishing speaking.
"People keep dying? That means that not only Yan Wanling and the double died in this show, but also other people! Tell me quickly!" Lin Zhixin grabbed Sun Ling's shoulders with both hands.
"Video…tape. Ah!" Sun Ling said these three words slowly, and then screamed.
"Video tape? That video tape in the archives? What is in it?"

Lin Zhixin looked at the mirror in the room, then smiled at herself in the mirror and said, "I'm beautiful, aren't I?"
"Yes, very beautiful!" replied a very hollow voice.
Lin Zhixin looked around in horror and asked, "Who is it?"
The hollow voice replied: "No need to look, you can't see me, I'm right in front of you."
"Whoever is the bad guy must die, the director , come out! Don't think that you can scare me!" Lin Zhixin clenched her hands and shouted.
The wardrobe in "Peng"'s room opened inexplicably. At this time, Lin Zhixin's eyes were wide open, looking straight at the wardrobe.
"Come out! Otherwise I will call the police!" Lin Zhixin warned.
However, that hollow voice did not reply. All Lin Zhixin heard in the dead silence of the room was her own heartbeat.
"Squeak" the wardrobe closed again inexplicably.
At this moment, a fat man walked in from a door in the room.
"Asshole, who is in charge of the props? How could you let the cabinet door close again? Cut!"
At this time, another thin man came in and said, "Director Zhang, I'm sorry! The fishing line that opened the closet door at the back is broken!"
"Director Zhang, don't blame A Bin. He didn't do it on purpose." Lin Zhixin said.
The fat man known as Director Zhang looked at Lin Zhixin, smiled and said, "Abin, you are lucky. If Miss Lin hadn't interceded for you, I would not have let you go today!"
"Yes, thank you Miss Lin, thank you director." A Bin lowered his body and said gratefully.
"Okay, okay, let's continue acting!" Director Zhang said.
I saw that A Bin slowly walking towards the cabinet.
"What are you going to do? Why don't you go back to the back?" Director Zhang scolded.
"Director, I want to open this cabinet door!" A Bin said aggrievedly.
Director Zhang nodded.
At this moment, A Bin pulled hard on the cabinet, but the door seemed to be motionless.
"Abin, you should hurry up. You're taking your time. If it doesn't work, I'll do it." Director Zhang said.
"Director, someone seems to be holding this cabinet inside!" A Bin said in horror.
"You're talking nonsense if you can't open it. I'll do it. It's true!" Director Zhang pushed away A Bin who was pulling the cabinet door vigorously, and reached out to pull the cabinet door.
Beads of sweat broke out on Director Zhang's face, but the cabinet door remained motionless.
"It's impossible! A Bin, what's going on?" Director Zhang looked at A Bin.
"This cabinet is very easy to open. The fish silk thread at the back opened just now, but now it feels like someone is pulling on the cabinet door and it can't be pulled!" A Bin said.
"Abin, don't scare me!" Lin Zhixin stared at the cabinet in horror.
"Okay, let's bring up another cabinet. It's really troublesome!" Director Zhang said.
"But director, where can I find a wardrobe temporarily?" A Bin asked.
"This is what you, the person in charge of props, should think about!" Director Zhang said indifferently.
At this moment, a "dong" sound came from the closet, as if someone was hitting the closet with his hand.
"Ah!" Lin Zhixin screamed.
"Miss Lin, don't be afraid, it might be just a mouse or something." Director Zhang comforted Lin Zhixin and said, but he could not hide his fear. At this moment, his hands were still shaking violently.

Ever since Lin Zhixin took over the filming of the horror film "Ghost", she felt a strong sense of fear surrounding her.
Not only was there a farce in which the prop cabinet closed and could not be opened for no apparent reason during the filming of this film, but also because there was a bizarre mystery behind this film.
It is said that the filming of this film actually started about four years ago. Of course, the protagonist who participated in the film at that time was naturally not Lin Zhixin.
Lin Zhixin was originally just a singer famous for her singing. She was good at singing and acting, and she gained some skills in acting, which allowed her to successfully take on this drama. But many people also know that she is just a "vase" in the movie, and her acting skills are indeed not very good.
But the heroine who filmed this movie two years ago was different. This is Yan Wanling, a powerful actor who made her debut entirely in movies and became famous in movies.
Four years ago, "Ghost" was filmed at this location and at this time, and the accident happened during the filming of this film.
It was indeed smooth when we started shooting this movie. This may be attributed to Yan Wanling's strong acting skills. It can be said that every segment during the shooting process was rarely interrupted and replayed, and it was carried out almost perfectly and smoothly.
It was not until the end of the filming that an accident happened. The protagonist Yan Wanling committed suicide for no reason in her dressing room. This was quite unexpected news for the director at the time.
But unexpectedly, the film still had to be completed, so the director had no choice but to use a stand-in to complete the film.
But I didn't expect that after the filming of the film was completed but before it was officially staged, the stand-in for Yan Wanling later committed suicide in his own home for no apparent reason.
Since then, the unprovoked suicide of the two actors has become a mystery in this drama, and the drama has naturally been called an "ominous movie".
Now that this drama has been remade, Lin Zhixin will be more or less afraid.
"Zhixin, you'd better not go filming this movie!" Sun Ling, one of Lin Zhixin's friends, once advised her.
"No, my acting skills are not well recognized by others. I must use this drama to change other people's views on me!" Lin Zhixin said to Sun Ling.
Seeing Lin Zhixin being so determined, her friend Sun Ling naturally didn't say anything more. The only thing she said to her was "This drama is cursed!"
Cursed, what curse? Cursed by whom? Sun Ling remained silent.
Lin Zhixin used to be an optimistic and positive girl, but recently she has felt an unprecedented sense of depression and indescribable emotion that has been confusing her. Lin Zhixin didn't know if it was because of filming this drama. She could only try to think about the good things in the past during her rest time and forget about this drama.
However, what Lin Zhixin didn't expect was that something terrible actually happened to her.
One night after the wardrobe drama on set, it was dark.
Lin Zhixin walked to the rooftop of her home in a depressed mood, looking at the stars looming in the sky.
"Ding" the clear sound of wind chimes rang in her ears.
(What's going on? Where did the wind chimes come from?)
Lin Zhixin stood up in confusion and walked boldly to the rooftop. Looking down, the dark ground seemed like a bottomless cave that was about to swallow her.
At this moment, Lin Zhixin felt someone staring at her from behind.
But the strange thing was that when she looked back, there was no one behind her.
Suddenly, Lin Zhixin suddenly felt a cold hand push her, "Ah!" Lin Zhixin's whole body fell down.
In the end, Lin Zhixin, who fell downstairs, was caught by a horizontal bar and saved her life.
After experiencing that kind of life-and-death thrill, many people thought she would give up filming the film. But unexpectedly, she still said firmly as if she was possessed by a demon: "I will persevere. I will not give up on this drama!"

The filming of the remake of "Ghost" finally came to the final stage, and at this time, the cursed public opinion hit the entire set like a hurricane.
"You think at this time, will the same ending happen again?"
"You can't say for sure! It's said that those heroines died in strange ways back then."
"I think this must be related to the little girl who came to the set to look for her mother!"
The two extras were communicating in a low voice. At this time, a scolding voice sounded from behind them. It was the director's voice.
"You two, collect your baggage and get out of here right away!"
The two extras looked at the director and saw that the director's veins were protruding and his eyes were smoking. They hurriedly lowered their heads.
"Director, we…" One of the actors was about to defend.
"Director, you are so generous, forgive them, they didn't mean it!" At this time, a sweet voice appeared from behind Director Zhang to plead for them.
This person is Lin Zhixin.
"Ms. Lin, this…" Director Zhang was about to speak.
"Why don't you apologize to Director Zhang quickly!" Lin Zhixin said to the two extras.
"Director, I'm sorry, we won't dare anymore, please don't drive us away!"
"Hmph, for Miss Lin's sake, I'll let you go, and be smarter in the future!" Director Zhang scolded.
"Yes, yes…we won't dare to do it again!"
"Humph!" Director Zhang walked away.
The two extras looked at Lin Zhixin gratefully and said, "Thank you, Miss Lin!"
"You're welcome, by the way, what happened to that girl you just mentioned?" Lin Zhixin asked doubtfully.
"Ms. Lin, this…" Both of them seemed hesitant.
"Please tell me quietly, you know I don't want to become the second Yan Wanling."
"Okay, we can tell you quietly, but you can't let the director know!"
"Okay! No problem, the director will never know."
In this way, Lin Zhixin learned the little-known secret from these two people.
It turns out that the two people who are now extras in the new film "Ghost" were actually extras in this drama four years ago.
It was a summer afternoon four years ago. The weather was very hot and all the actors were resting in designated places. The filming of "Ghost", which was originally in full swing, has also reached the final stage, and the nervous and anxious people in the crew naturally relaxed.
At that time, the surrounding area of the studio was very dense, and ordinary people could not enter. But who knew that a strange little girl wearing a red coat would appear on the set that afternoon.
All the actors asked her: "Little sister, what is your name? Why are you here?"
The girl said nothing, her eyes staring straight at Yan Wanling.
"My mother is the main character! Where is she?"
"Hahaha…" Everyone present laughed.
"Miss Yan Wanling is the protagonist! Little sister, please don't talk nonsense!" someone said.
"No, it's not!" The little girl's voice became plaintive and she walked out. At that time, no one paid much attention to the sudden appearance of a girl. We all regarded it as a farce designed by the company to increase the dramatic atmosphere.
It wasn't until someone from the crew went to look for the little girl that they discovered that the little girl had hanged herself on the set. This was quite unlucky at the time, so the body was quickly disposed of, and the news was immediately reported. The people at the top of the film and television company blocked it. They asked all the actors not to spread rumors or they would be expelled from their performing arts companies. So to this day, only those who participated in the show know about it.
"So there is such a twisty story!" Lin Zhixin sighed after listening to it.
(It seems that the suicide of the heroine in the past must be related to the death of this little girl, and Yan Wanling was indeed chosen as the protagonist at that time, but why did the little girl say that the heroine was her mother? Who is she? And her mother who is it?)
All these questions were swirling in Lin Zhixin's mind, confusing her. So at this time, Lin Zhixin had already made a decision in her heart. She was determined to find out what happened about this little girl!
Four
Lin Zhixin learned that the secrets of the filming of "Ghost Shadow" had been sealed in the film and television archives of A Film and Television Company, so she decided to enter the archives.
The film and television archives of A Film and Television Company are actually not large, about the same size as a small library in a middle school. But the management is very strict. There are security guards inside and outside the door to guard the bad guys. The director must die . Without a pass, ordinary people can't get in.
Of course, Lin Zhixin also ran into a wall when she first came to the archives. She used hard and soft tactics to the security guards, saying both good and bad things. But in exchange, the security guard said something – "Please show me your pass."
After Lin Zhixin learned her lesson, she realized that she must get the pass. But where to get the pass? She immediately thought of Mr. Jiang, the general manager of A Film and Television Company.
Mr. Jiang is slightly chubby, wears a pair of high-prescription glasses, is friendly, and drinks good wine.
When Lin Zhixin thought about Mr. Jiang's hobby of drinking fine wine, she immediately remembered that she still had a bottle of old French wine at home that could be used.
Sure enough, as expected by Lin Zhixin, Mr. Jiang really liked the bottle of Frankie. And after having a few drinks with Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang finally generously got her a pass.
The night she got the pass, Lin Zhixin was so excited that she couldn't sleep and giggled at the pass all night long. Perhaps because this was a bargaining chip that allowed her to reveal the secret of the year and save herself from making the same mistakes again, she was extremely excited.
It was a Sunday, so there was no need to film.
The sky was a bit gloomy, and the heavy black clouds gave people an inexplicable feeling of suffocation.
Lin Zhixin came to the archives. This time, thanks to this pass, she was finally able to enter this long-lost archives unlike last time.
The archives are made up of cabinets, which contain the archive records of every film and television drama since the company was founded.
Lin Zhixin looked at all the cabinets, and finally stayed in the last row.
The word "ghost" flashed in front of Lin Zhixin's eyes like lightning.
She carefully opened the cabinet and found a thick stack of papers and a video tape.
That thick stack of paper turned out to be a script from that year, and the author of the script was signed by Sun Yunshu.
(Isn’t Shen Yunshu the mother of my good friend Sun Ling? What? Could it be that the script of "Ghost Shadow" was written by Sun Ling's mother? But why didn't Sun Ling tell me?)
Lin Zhixin thought about it and looked at the videotape with confusion.
(Perhaps this videotape will tell me everything, but it’s a pity that I didn’t bring a projection device, otherwise I would have known.)
Just as Lin Zhixin was watching the video tape in rapt attention, a gust of wind blew from outside the window and scattered the script.
Lin Zhixin picked up one of them and looked at it, her face turned pale.
