The huge sensation caused by Dong Qilan's entry did not dissipate even after several hours.

However, for Bai Yushuo, the addition of a super star was not important at all.

Everyone had left, but she and Fang Leng were still in the screening room. At this time, the movie screen was already pitch black, with only some dim lights projecting around.

"Because 'that person' spoke, so you can't make a deal with him? Even if you exchange it with a voodoo doll?"

Listening to Bai Yushuo's words, Fang Leng continued to light a cigarette, but Bai Yushuo snatched it away.

"It's been said that smoking is harmful to health. The nicotine in one cigarette is enough to kill a cow!"

"Fine," Fang Leng had no choice but to put the cigarette box back in his pocket. "I started smoking in college, and after so many years, I definitely can't quit. I won't smoke in front of you if you don't like it."

Bai Yushuo extinguished the cigarette on the ground and then looked at the movie screen in front of her.

"His influence has reached such a level?"

"Yes. Now, the Hell Tenth Degree Cinema has the most cursed objects concentrated in it. Moreover, everyone knows that if 'that person' really becomes a demon like Knightley in the future, anyone who has offended him in the past will be in a dead end if they encounter him again. Unless it's someone like the Marquis in the Hell Nineteenth Degree Cinema, they might have a chance. As for me, Fang Leng, I am worshipped here, but once I go out, I'm nothing."

When Bai Yushuo heard the name "Marquis," her expression changed slightly. The Marquis was also a well-known figure in the Hell Twentieth Degree Cinema, slightly inferior to "that person." It was said that this person actually held the title of Marquis in the real world, hence the nickname. And this Marquis was the male protagonist of "Knightley Family"! His identity and Knightley were archenemies.

Therefore, the other actors in the cinema were all observing the situation. Once "Knightley Family 3" was released, it would definitely face a life-and-death battle between the Marquis and "that person." And they were naturally waiting, preparing to follow the winning side after the victor was determined. If "that person" ultimately died, then the Marquis would naturally replace him and become the most prestigious actor in the Hell Twentieth Degree Cinema.

The reason why everyone called him "that person" and dared not speak his real name was because... Knightley possessed terrifying abilities. Legend has it that even though Knightley was burned by the Holy See, his body was still preserved and secretly buried by his followers. Even though he was already dead, no one dared to underestimate him. And if his name was spoken, it was very likely to be cursed by Knightley's vengeful spirit!

His name could not be easily spoken!

"Fine." Yushuo naturally had no good feelings towards "that person." "I hope the Marquis can ultimately defeat him. The Hell Nineteenth Degree Cinema's strength far surpasses ours. Humans are truly terrifying. Even in this hellish world, there is still hierarchy and opposition at all times."

"Where there are humans, how could there be no hierarchy? Equality for all is just empty words. If you want others to respect and follow you, you must show them convincing strength. That's how reality is. This hellish world is the same."

At this point, Yushuo suddenly asked, "Your redemption tickets... are approaching 5000, right?"

"Yes."

"Try to control it. You should know what it means when the number of redemption tickets reaches 5000."

At first glance, it seemed that any cursed item could be rented for over 1000 redemption tickets. It seemed easy to accumulate 10,000 redemption tickets over time, but this was just superficial. Once an actor's redemption tickets reached 5000, they would enter a "critical point."

After entering the critical point, you would no longer be able to obtain redemption tickets through any means other than filming movies. Moreover, every horror film you shoot from then on would be of top difficulty, and it would be extremely difficult to survive in such a horror film. You would definitely become the protagonist! In such a horror film, redemption tickets would be greatly consumed. If you could maintain half of your original redemption tickets after such a film, that would be considered good. And such a horror film would also receive "special attention," with a level of danger far exceeding other actors. If the movie ended and the redemption tickets dropped below 5000, everything would return to normal. But if it remained above 5000, the next horror film would still receive the same "special attention." Either you would keep surviving or you would accumulate 10,000 redemption tickets. Continuously going through this, just thinking about it felt chillingly terrifying!

Even someone like the Marquis or "that person" might not be able to withstand such terrifying film shoots! And because this was too terrifying, it was generally not told to new actors when their redemption tickets approached 5000. After all, it would be too much of a blow to new actors.

Many actors, even if they had powerful means of survival, would not easily let their redemption tickets exceed 5000 and reach the critical point."I will pay attention." Fang Leng, of course, knew this point very well. Then, he suddenly said, "I'll give you 500 redemption tickets. It's a gift from me. On one hand, you have suffered too much in 'New Neighbors'. You are an important force in our cinema and cannot be lost. On the other hand, I can't let my redemption tickets continue to increase."

Yushuo nodded without refusing. She indeed needed these redemption tickets. So, she accepted them.

"In the end... our means of survival are still not enough..." Fang Leng looked at the extinguished cigarette butt on the ground and deeply understood how terrifying the filming of that top-level horror movie in the future would be... Just thinking about it was enough to make people despair!

At this moment, Ye Xiang was in his room with Wen Yufan.

"To actually meet Dong Qilan..." Ye Xiang was also greatly shocked this time. He himself was not a fan of Dong Qilan, but he had watched many TV dramas she acted in. He often saw information related to Dong Qilan when he browsed Weibo. Of course, there were also many negative news about her. After becoming famous, she had been involved in numerous scandals with other celebrities. But this was also normal.

"Some of my colleagues at work are fans of Dong Qilan. There is a mobile phone advertisement poster she endorsed at the entrance of our company. I can see it every day when I go to and leave work. I have to say, she is really beautiful."

Wen Yufan nodded gently. "She is a celebrity, naturally possessing an enviable appearance compared to ordinary people."

Then, she changed the subject and suddenly said, "Your new movie is going to be released, right?"

Ye Xiang nodded. He was currently fully preparing for it.

"July 31st is the day 'Ghost Inn' will be released. Originally, Wu Zhaotian was also going to appear in it, but he died in 'New Neighbors', so they should replace him with another actor. It is estimated that it will be a horror movie of medium to low difficulty."

"You should have a lot of redemption tickets now, right?"

To read the uncut version, go to [p𝘢wread.com].

"Indeed, quite a lot. However, they will be used up faster. I estimate that the remuneration for this movie will be higher, and the more it is used, the more redemption tickets will be deducted. And for horror movies with higher difficulty, the number of redemption tickets deducted when violating the plot will also increase. Redemption tickets are something that can never be too many."

However, this was also Ye Xiang's first time participating in a horror movie jointly produced by other cinemas. He was not familiar with the other actors, so he was somewhat looking forward to how the cooperation would be.

"Be careful." Wen Yufan's tone became serious. "Also, don't rely too much on cursed items of the dead. Yushuo sister has emphasized this point repeatedly."

During this period, Ye Xiang had been receiving guidance from Bai Yushuo, and their relationship had become more intimate. As he spent more time with Bai Yushuo, Wen Yufan's personality also began to change. Although she was still silent, she occasionally showed a smile. In the past, she had difficulty handling interpersonal relationships and did not care enough about people other than herself, so she didn't have many friends. But now, she started to care about others and tried to open up to others. She also realized that only by opening her heart could others truly accept her.

"By the way, Yufan, you will also be appearing in your second horror movie 'Return' next month. 'Return' is a horror movie starring Fang Leng and Bai Yushuo. I think you will receive better protection. However, you still need to be extremely careful. Even if you see cursed items of the dead, don't rashly touch them. After all, it is life-threatening."

Wen Yufan nodded. She found that the feeling of being cared for by others was really nice. In the past, she was always isolated by others and became more and more indifferent. She always felt that her life was very gloomy, with her parents constantly quarreling, her career not going well, and not many friends around her, so she had been living in depression. But she didn't expect that in this hellish cinema, between life and death, she would actually gain true friends.

The interaction between people is really important. Wen Yufan deeply remembered this point.

"Yushuo sister told me that she will try to stay with me at that time. As long as I don't stray too far from her, she can also protect me remotely."

Ye Xiang also had some understanding of Bai Yushuo's mediumistic nature, so he naturally knew about this ability.

"Miss Yushuo is truly a rare kind-hearted person I have ever seen. It was said that all the second-generation rich kids are arrogant and domineering, but that is really a biased generalization. When she talks to people, she always makes people feel empowered."

Ye Xiang also thought of Bai Yushuo. She was beautiful, gentle, kind, and sunny. After truly getting to know her, you would understand why the people in the Hell Cinema, including Jiao Mengqi, liked her so much.

"Speaking of which... does Yushuo like Fang Leng? They always seem to be inseparable when you look at them."

Ye Xiang suddenly asked this question.

Initially, Fang Leng and Bai Yushuo had supported each other during the difficult period in the Hell Cinema. With this kind of relationship, plus the fact that both of them were outstanding, it was not surprising for them to be together.

"That's not the case." Wen Yufan shook her head. "I actually asked Yushuo sister this question too. But she told me that Fang Leng and her are just companions. Both sides have always had a good understanding, but there is no romantic relationship. It seems that what she said is true.""So that's how it is..." Ye Xiang pondered. Who would be the lucky man to win the heart of such an outstanding woman in the future?

At the same time, he realized that compared to Fang Leng, Bai Yushuo, and others, he was still too weak.

He was just a rookie actor. If it weren't for the cursed object this time, how could he have had the chance to obtain so many death redemption tickets? Now, his first priority was to survive. Everything else was too extravagant for him.

Meanwhile, Wen Yufan quietly watched Ye Xiang, remaining silent.

The following days passed quickly.

July 31st finally arrived.

Ye Xiang, who woke up early, was ready.

He went to the bathroom, washed his face, looked at himself in the mirror, clenched his fists, and said to himself, "Survive! You must survive! My life can't end here! I must come back alive!"

This time, it was in Cinema No.2.

And the actor replacing Wu Zhaotian was... Bai Yushuo! It seemed that the script had been significantly restructured. With Bai Yushuo's status, she could have been the lead actress. However, this time she was a supporting role. According to Bai Yushuo's analysis, she had spent too many death redemption tickets on "The New Neighbor", so her role was reduced. She was actually relieved, as this meant less pay and fewer tickets deducted.

Because she had spent too many death redemption tickets, she needed to collect a "protection fee" from the actors participating this time. After all, her previous number of death redemption tickets was too low. And her medium physique could provide long-distance protection, so everyone could be saved. This time, each of the other four actors contributed 500 death redemption tickets, plus the ones Fang Leng gave her, totaling 2500 tickets, which could be said to have solved Bai Yushuo's urgent need. As for Ye Xiang, his death redemption tickets were reduced to 1415. Of course, he didn't mind, as this was a necessary expense.

Li Weisi, Mo Qiushi, Bai Yushuo, Shi Qingxiu, and Ye Xiang all entered Cinema No.2.

Wen Yufan also came specifically this time. After talking to Bai Yushuo, she came to Ye Xiang.

"Sister Yushuo said she will protect you. Try not to leave her side by more than three hundred meters."

"I know, she told me."

As time approached, Wen Yufan stood up, looked at Ye Xiang, and finally said, "Don't... die in there. You must... come back alive..."

For Wen Yufan, caring about someone's life and death was a rare thing in her life.

Looking at her at this moment, Ye Xiang's heartbeat quickened slightly. Then, he nodded.

"I will, I will definitely survive!"
