Bai Yushuo was sitting in the public lounge on the third floor at the moment.

She was the female protagonist of the horror film "New Neighbor," which was released around the same time as "Ghost Hotel." It was a horror film with a Japanese style and seemed to be mainly focused on suspense.

At this moment, there were two people sitting in front of her.

One was Fang Leng, and the other was Cheng Xuesong.

These three people could be said to be the most powerful forces in the Hell Thirteenth Degree Cinema. Although Bai Yushuo had never held any cursed objects, it did not hinder her strong survival ability. In the hearts of the actors in this cinema, Cheng Xuesong was like the unapproachable Snow Queen, while Bai Yushuo was a goddess representing life and hope.

"The delay of 'Ghost Festival 3' means that we have more time to prepare. Regardless, accumulating more redemption tickets and cursed objects to strengthen our power is fundamental." Fang Leng's face was solemn, and he had already begun to formulate the direction for the horror film shooting in the next few months.

In the second half of the month, Fang Leng still needed to star in "Blue Sea of Ghosts," a horror film jointly produced by the Hell Fifth Degree Cinema. The Hell Fifth Degree Cinema had previously collaborated with the Hell Thirteenth Degree Cinema.

"I want to make a deal with the people from the Fifth Degree Cinema." Fang Leng hesitated a bit and said, "I want to use a voodoo doll to trade for the thing in Fu Hengjun's hands!"

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Bai Yushuo immediately shook her head. "No! The voodoo doll is the basis for our survival. Once we encounter a life-threatening crisis, the voodoo doll can be used as a substitute for death. It is a very rare cursed object. How can we trade it away?"

"You also know that we can only use the voodoo doll to trade for that thing. Otherwise, unless we offer more than 4000 redemption tickets, the other party will never sell it. I have thought about it, as long as we have that thing, the trip for 'Ghost Festival 3' will be more certain."

Cheng Xuesong remained silent and did not express any opinions.

"Let's discuss it with everyone." Bai Yushuo still insisted, "The voodoo doll saved your life last time, don't you remember? You are not a god, there will always be times when your life is in danger. The voodoo doll is the foundation of your survival and must not be exchanged! Compared to 'Ghost Festival 3,' your survival, Fang Leng, is the most important! You are the most important spiritual pillar of our Hell Thirteenth Degree Cinema!"

Bai Yushuo knew very well that Fang Leng had a broad perspective when it came to decision-making, which was why he was like this. His purpose was not for himself, but for the overall interests of the Hell Thirteenth Degree Cinema. By doing this, he was sacrificing his strongest means of survival. However, Bai Yushuo also knew that "that thing" indeed had that value!

"Xuesong!" Bai Yushuo looked at Cheng Xuesong, who was still indifferent, and said, "Do you agree?"

"I don't have a stance." Cheng Xuesong remained proud and said, "You decide for yourselves."

At this moment, Fang Leng suddenly changed the topic. "Also, Yexiang and Wen Yufan, these two new actors..."

On the fourth floor, in screening room No. 7.

At this moment, Ye Xiang and Wen Yufan were sitting in the tenth row of this spacious screening room, with their seats connected. It felt like they were a couple watching a movie together if they each had a bucket of popcorn in their hands.

"If I can go out, I will never watch a movie again in my life." Wen Yufan suddenly broke the silence. "No, actually, I didn't like watching movies before."

"I'm the opposite," Ye Xiang said, "I really like watching movies, especially since 3D movies became popular. I watch at least ten new movies every year. However, horror films are not my favorite genre. I watch more Hollywood sci-fi films. Domestic films generally have low budgets, so they focus on profound plots, which eventually become incomprehensible to the audience, so they are considered bad movies."

Ye Xiang was very familiar with the feeling of sitting in a movie theater. He usually enjoyed watching movies and often went to see newly released films with his colleagues. Generally, he would read some reviews on Douban first. If there were mostly negative reviews, he wouldn't waste his money on going to the cinema. Instead, he would buy discounted tickets on Gewara or Meituan. Therefore, the feeling of sitting in a movie theater was very familiar to Ye Xiang.

However, he would never have thought that one day, he would become a person acting on the screen, especially in a horror film.

"I'm different from you." Wen Yufan said at this moment, "I really like watching horror films."

"Is that so?"

"Do you think it's strange for girls to watch horror films?"

"No. Several female colleagues around me also like watching horror films, especially various suspenseful horror films from Japan, Korea, and Thailand. They often complain to me that domestic horror films have poor quality."

"I used to watch a lot of horror films online, mostly from Japan, Korea, and Thailand. Japanese horror films focus on strange tales, Korean horror films focus on social phenomena, and Thai horror films have strong religious elements and focus on reincarnation and karma. Relatively speaking, I prefer Japanese-style horror films. I have watched the 'Ju-on' series, the Japanese version five times and the American version twice."

As Wen Yufan said this, she looked at the movie screen in front of her.

At this moment, a voice came from behind, "Actually, 'Ju-on' is not considered horror, at least not as scary as the horror films in this Hell Cinema."Ye Xiang and Wen Yufan turned their heads simultaneously, only to see Bai Yushuo standing behind them.

"You two are just who I was looking for." Bai Yushuo revealed a hint of a smile. "I was just about to find you."

"Miss Bai..." Ye Xiang's expression immediately became solemn. He was well aware of Bai Yushuo's status among the actors in the cinema, second only to Fang Leng. As a seasoned actor who had survived numerous horror films due to his strong survival skills, Ye Xiang held her in high regard and admiration.

"By the way... do you prefer milk or coffee?" Bai Yushuo pointed to two cups of beverages in the slots next to her seat, saying with a smile, "The restaurant always has hot milk and coffee available. Haven't you noticed? And, the milk here is definitely not problematic like X Deer's, it's very fresh!"

Having interacted with Bai Yushuo over the past few days, Ye Xiang had also felt her warmth. She was enthusiastic, humorous, and optimistic. Almost all the actors in the Thirteenth Degree Hell Cinema liked her, even Jiao Mengqi, who usually gave her some respect.

Hearing the words "X Deer", Wen Yufan couldn't help but smile. Bai Yushuo's sunny personality had somewhat influenced her as well.

"Never mind, help yourselves." Bai Yushuo handed over the milk and coffee. Ye Xiang chose coffee, while Wen Yufan took the milk.

"Alright, now, I have something to discuss with you."

Bai Yushuo then sat down, the smile on her face gradually fading.

"How long do you think you can survive? Or rather, what are your plans for long-term survival? This is something you must consider."

Ye Xiang immediately responded, "Survival depends on redemption tickets and cursed items. I believe we need to take risks actively, not avoid dangerous areas in the script, or actively save people in danger. Of course, we must also act within our capabilities. The current use of redemption tickets is too costly, often not earning much after a horror film, so taking risks is necessary."

"I feel the same way." Wen Yufan echoed, "I did so in my first horror film. I know that avoiding danger will only lead to a quicker death. Redemption tickets can only be earned by experiencing dangerous situations, I completely agree with this. But currently, I only have a soul-summoning charm..."

Bai Yushuo nodded, then looked at them approvingly, "Your analysis is very accurate. It's rare for new actors to think like you two. Most people's first consideration is to spend redemption tickets to rent cursed items, and then stay as far away from danger as possible in the movie. Even though they know that taking risks can earn redemption tickets, not many have the courage to do so. They usually think, first save their lives, then consider earning redemption tickets."

Ye Xiang nodded. He initially had the same idea, but in "The Secluded Room", he was pushed to the limit and realized that it was not realistic.

"However," Bai Yushuo said, changing the subject, "you also know that this process is very dangerous. Hou Tianbai died because of it. His approach was not wrong, but he was overconfident due to his lack of understanding of the horror film, thinking it was a low-difficulty horror film. This is not advisable. If I were him, I would observe and analyze the script before taking action, and preferably act collectively. Even though this might reduce the number of redemption tickets, at least it ensures safety. If you only have one cursed item, use it as a last resort. Cursed items are not omnipotent, we don't know how effective they are or how long they can last. Once used, they can't be used again within thirty minutes, and we also have to consider the risk of the curse reviving."

After listening to her words carefully, Ye Xiang said, "So, the most important things are... information and teamwork, right?"

"Correct!" Bai Yushuo was very impressed with Ye Xiang's comprehension, "Especially in mystery horror films, information is the most crucial factor for survival. You often don't understand the character you're playing. Sometimes, the character you're playing has killed someone, causing the ghost to linger, but if you don't know, you can't solve the problem. Of course, Ye Xiang, the two films you've acted in have significant limitations in information gathering, so it's not your fault. But remember, never neglect information gathering and exchange. Next, is the issue of teamwork. In any horror film, always remember to stick together! This is my advice from experience, you must keep it in mind. In the future, you will need to cooperate with actors from other cinemas. Even if you don't know each other well, you are on the same side in the same horror film, with the same goal of survival! To survive, you must stick together, never try to be a hero and take risks alone!"
