This night, for these seven people, especially the newcomers, it was definitely a sleepless night.

For Ye Xiang, this was only his second horror film. After the second act of the script came out, it was still difficult to grasp the direction of the plot. Moreover, if the actors were separated and there were no scenes with their counterparts, they could only see the parts they were supposed to play. They couldn't know what would happen to the others for a while. Even their own experiences might not be fully known, after all, the blank period in the script did not represent absolute safety.

However, for the current Ye Xiang, all he could do was wait.

At this moment, all the actors were speculating about one thing.

What was locked in the basement room?

Although it seemed to be tightly sealed inside, not a single actor felt at ease because of it. For the veteran actor Yu Chen, he also felt anxious.

There was one thing he had to admit...the horror films in Hell Cinema were really outstanding. Compared to those so-called horror films in China, they were simply trash among trash! If these horror films were released in reality, they would definitely receive great reviews as classic horror masterpieces. However, for them actors, it meant experiencing life and death hardships every moment.

Even in this low-difficulty horror film, Yu Chen couldn't guarantee that he would definitely be able to return alive. So, he kept reminding himself in his heart that he must not be careless and try to save the deduction of redemption tickets as much as possible. No matter when, the redemption ticket was equivalent to the life of an actor!

In the end, everyone tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.

Ye Xiang finally fell asleep after four in the morning. But even so, he only slept for a little over two hours before waking up.

In this sealed building without any windows or ventilation, the only way to determine whether it was day or night was the clock on the wall.

"It's just past six o'clock..."

Because he had to prepare breakfast by eight o'clock, he set the alarm clock for six-thirty. However, he woke up earlier than the alarm clock.

But he didn't feel tired at all, after all, who could truly sleep peacefully in a horror film? Even according to the script, it was still a safe period.

From now until eight o'clock, preparing breakfast was more than enough. And the main person in charge of cooking was Yu Chen, he just needed some help. Anyway...nothing would happen for now.

For a while...

After sleeping for a while, when it was close to six-thirty, Ye Xiang still didn't feel tired, so he got up. He walked out of the room and headed towards the stairs. After reaching the first floor, he walked through a corridor and arrived in the hall.

In the living room, Su Han was smoking there. Judging from his dark circles, it was clear that he didn't sleep well last night. When he saw Ye Xiang coming down, he said, "Here?"

"Yeah."

Currently, they were in the blank period of the script, and they would start shooting according to the script at seven-thirty.

Su Han blew out a few smoke rings and flicked off the ashes. His current appearance looked very distressed, far from being as calm as Yu Chen. Ye Xiang knew that Su Han hadn't filmed many horror films. Compared to other veteran actors, he was naturally more immature and relied on luck to obtain the cursed object. He had played a couple with Tang Hailan, who played Kang Xueyan, before, and they ended up doing something for real. Now that Tang Hailan was dead, he became somewhat depressed.

After a long silence, he finally completely extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray and said, "Alright, we've all been paid, we can't not do anything. No matter what is locked below, let's just cook three meals honestly. Zhang, let's start first..."

"No need to call me Mr. Zhang, just call me Zhang Hua."

Su Han suddenly remembered that in the later part of the script, almost everyone called each other by their real names. But since they weren't speaking lines now, he didn't realize it. From this, it could be seen that although Ye Xiang was a newcomer, he really paid attention to details.

"Okay, whatever, you can just call me by my real name."

At this time, the ponytail girl Liu Ying also came down. The woman in the green dress, Zhao Xiaoya, followed closely behind her.

"You...both of you are awake." Liu Ying also had big dark circles under her eyes, and her eye bags were a bit saggy.

For new actors, as long as they thought about how their bodies were often dismembered and torn apart before entering a horror film, scenes where they were better off dead, even if they were afraid, they could only act with a stiff upper lip. However, after all, they weren't speaking lines now, so Liu Ying's acting was already quite natural. Relatively speaking, Zhao Xiaoya's performance was also commendable. Although she also showed signs of being quite restless, she didn't show it too obviously on the surface.

"Wu Jun, Hang Qingshu, and that...what was his name again?" Liu Ying remembered the names of the two supporting roles, but completely forgot the name of the protagonist.

"Liu Haiping." Ye Xiang reminded.

"Right, it's him!" Liu Ying said anxiously, "He...he analyzed it so well yesterday, why hasn't he come yet? What...what should we do? Are we really trapped here and can't get out, just eating three meals a day?"Zhao Xiaoya walked over and patted her shoulder, saying, "You've confirmed it, haven't you? The walls here can't be knocked down. You confirmed it yesterday when you tore the wallpaper."

"You tore the wallpaper to check?" Ye Xiang asked. He would never do such a redundant thing, there couldn't possibly be such an obvious bug in the movie. If he were to film "Terror Bus" now, he wouldn't do something as stupid as leaving the bus.

"Yes, I checked... I even used a lot of hard objects to knock... all failed, not even a crack."

Ye Xiang was secretly surprised. What surprised him was not that the wall couldn't be knocked down, that was normal, but... the soundproofing effect of this villa was so good that he didn't hear this sound at all!

If that was the case, then the walls of that basement room probably also had a good soundproofing effect. No matter what sound was inside, it wouldn't be able to get out.

"Alright, everyone, let's get ready for breakfast."

A very steady voice came, it was Yu Chen. His room was chosen on the first floor, and Hou Tianbai was following him.

Coming to Liu Ying and Zhao Xiaoya, he looked at them and said in a very gentle tone, "You both look like you didn't sleep well. Don't be too scared, whatever happens, we men will protect you."

Yu Chen's words were comforting to the two new female actors. As soon as these words came out, Liu Ying's nervous expression eased a lot.

Then, Yu Chen asked Hou Tianbai to make some coffee for everyone. Everyone didn't sleep well last night, and they needed to be energetic for the filming later. At the same time, he also prepared a little breakfast for everyone, so they could eat and work.

Yu Chen's thoughtful consideration made everyone feel at ease, especially the new actress Liu Ying. Seeing Yu Chen's expression, she relaxed a lot, holding the coffee in her hand, she showed a rare smile and said, "Brother Liu, you are really considerate."

She didn't know Yu Chen's real name, and only remembered the name of the main character he played, Liu Haiping.

"Alright." Liu Haiping saw that everyone had almost finished eating and drinking, and clapped his hands, "Let's get to work. No matter what, we've received so much money, we can't be careless about making breakfast. According to the recipes we researched before, let's get ready. Lu Zenan, you boil the water. Zhang Hua, you follow me."

Yu Chen's gaze turned to Ye Xiang, he planned to keep Ye Xiang by his side and take good care of him.

The fridge was full of food, frozen ham, cheese, butter, German sausages, etc. They planned to make corn fruit and vegetable salad, smoked ham sandwich, and borscht for breakfast.

"Zhang Hua, slice these sausages, and also cut this cabbage and carrot."

Yu Chen also took out some ketchup and checked the expiration date out of caution.

"Isn't this too much? Can they eat all of this?" Lu Zenan, who was boiling water on the side, asked.

"Breakfast is actually the most important meal of the day." Before Yu Chen could speak, Ye Xiang explained for him, "Most people don't understand this common sense and even think that breakfast is the least important. They often skip breakfast to save time, which is a very bad eating habit. So, breakfast must be well prepared."

Everyone was busy, and soon a beautiful breakfast was ready.

The borscht was cooked by Yu Chen himself, and the aroma was so enticing that it made people's mouths water.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Yu Chen opened the door of the food elevator and put the breakfast in. Just as Yu Chen was about to close the elevator door, Ye Xiang suddenly stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, Liu Haiping!"

Yu Chen was stunned, not understanding what Ye Xiang wanted to do.

Ye Xiang took out his phone, switched to camera mode, then leaned the phone against the bowl of borscht and said, "Alright, send the breakfast down."

Yu Chen immediately understood his intention, nodded, and closed the elevator door.

"Ah, so that's how it is!" Liu Ying suddenly understood and said to Ye Xiang, "When the phone comes up, open the video and you'll know who's down there! Good idea!"

Ye Xiang gave a bitter smile. The action just now naturally deducted redemption tickets. And it directly deducted 20 redemption tickets, leaving him with 161.

However, if he could capture something, these 20 redemption tickets would be worth it.

However, Yu Chen's expression didn't show any excitement. Although he didn't know how many redemption tickets Ye Xiang had deducted, in his opinion, these redemption tickets were definitely deducted in vain.

Now, all they could do was wait.

Ye Xiang, of course, knew this. But now there was only this one method, and he had to try it, even if it was a desperate attempt.

"Let's continue playing cards. Or just chat." Hou Tianbai suggested, "It's too uncomfortable to be so bored."

"I'm not in the mood to play cards." Su Han waved his hand, "Let's just chat casually. After all, it's fate that we're gathered here. Let's discuss - what exactly is down there?"
