Reborn with the Infinite World Panel-Chapter 86: Daily Life 12
"Junior Sister Nan is here."
"Brother Wu."
"Get in the car." Wu Tai said.
Nan Chu got in the car, and it drove towards a cemetery.
When they arrived at the cemetery, a man was waiting.
This man had a dream, dreaming of his deceased father, who kept saying he was cold.
So he invited the masters to take a look at the situation.
"Masters, this is my father’s grave."
Wu Tai glanced at it and said, "Your father’s coffin is leaking, so it feels cold. Choose a day to reopen the grave and change the coffin."
"Your father’s grave is on water-gathering ground, with a lot of water. So after opening the grave, you’ll also need to do waterproofing to prevent the coffin from rotting again."
"Then, Master, I will trouble you with the follow-up matters."
"No problem."
After the inspection, Wu Tai first took the client out of the cemetery and then searched the cemetery with Nan Chu for a Fierce Ghost that was eating other ghosts.
According to reports, a lot of wandering ghosts in the area had disappeared.
It’s rumored that a Fierce Ghost had eaten the wandering ghosts.
"Junior Sister Nan, can you sense the presence of a Fierce Ghost?"
Nan Chu shook her head, "No."
"Could it be that the Fierce Ghost has already moved to another place?"
"Junior Sister Nan, help me guard the area. I’ll summon the spirits to check."
"Okay."
Then Wu Tai began to summon, but after half an hour, no spirit appeared.
Indeed, all the ghosts in this area had disappeared.
The two searched briefly but found no clues, so they left the cemetery.
The next day, Nan Chu went to investigate clues, while Wu Tai returned to the cemetery to handle the client’s grave matters.
After a day of investigation, Nan Chu found a clue about a Daoist exorcising ghosts everywhere.
Regardless of whether they were good or evil, the ghosts were exorcised.
After finding this clue, Nan Chu sent a message to Wu Tai.
Wu Tai replied, telling Nan Chu not to investigate further.
Since a magician was exorcising ghosts, they should let him be. Some magicians are just bored and like to exorcise ghosts, so they should not meddle.
Nan Chu’s task was temporarily completed, so she returned to Beijing.
Back in Beijing, Zhuang Wenqi gave her several scripts.
Half a month later, Nan Chu joined a film crew.
This time they were shooting a martial arts drama, and she played the third female lead, the senior sister of the female lead.
The martial arts scenes were all shot against a green screen, using wirework.
Her character had a lot of fight scenes.
After a day of shooting, nearly all of it was spent doing wirework.
Not once did Nan Chu complain about being tired, and the director was genuinely impressed.
Even professional stunt doubles would feel exhausted after a day of wirework, but Nan Chu, who rarely did such work, endured a whole day without complaint.
It’s rare to see such hardworking actors nowadays.
After a month of shooting, Nan Chu and the team finally changed locations, no longer filming against the green screen.
They were finally going to shoot scenes in other locations.
The first on-location scene was them arriving at the Fire Cloud Prefecture to investigate the disappearance of a woman from the Fire Cloud Prefecture.
The director first had them run through the scene to see if any departments needed adjustments.
After all preparations were in place, they started filming.
Zhang Ying said, "Senior Sister, I say we disguise ourselves to lure out the culprit, and then we can catch them."
Nan Chu, looking imposing, said, "No, I suspect it’s a demon causing mischief. If you get caught, how will I explain to the masters?"
"Let’s investigate first, and discuss things after."
Zhang Ying shouted, "Senior Sister..."
"Cut, Zhang Ying, you don’t need to be so loud here."
"Okay, director." Zhang Ying responded quickly.
[Who would have thought, Nan Chu has acting skills. She wasn’t just a pretty face. Her acting almost left Zhang Ying unable to continue the scene.]
They reshot the scene, but Zhang Ying was continually overshadowed by Nan Chu’s presence. Finally, the director had Nan Chu tone down her aura, and the scene was successfully completed.
Afterward, Nan Chu went to investigate clues.
The female lead and her junior brothers and sisters communicated telepathically to discuss other strategies.
At night, the female lead quietly left the inn.
When Nan Chu discovered her junior sister was missing, she quickly asked the other junior brothers and sisters and learned that Junior Sister Wanwan went to lure the enemy.
Nan Chu didn’t have time to be angry with the other juniors and immediately used Sword Control to search.
But unfortunately, Junior Sister Wanwan had disappeared.
After several days of investigation in Fire Cloud Prefecture, there was still no news.
Nan Chu and her team had no choice but to return to their sect and report to their masters.
Nan Chu, being the senior sister, was punished.
After filming, Nan Chu also went to reshoot some close-up shots.
After the shoot, Nan Chu went to remove her makeup, and the second female lead, Tang Shanshan, came to remove her makeup too.
"Nan Chu, your acting is pretty good."
"I studied with an acting teacher for a few months."
"No wonder," Tang Shanshan said. "Want to grab a meal? I know a place with great food."
"Sure."
In the car, Tang Shanshan gossiped, "Nan Chu, are you still dating Jiang Han?"
"Yes."
"I’m so jealous, being able to date so openly."
"You could too."
"Forget it, I’d rather honestly make money. The shelf life of female celebrities is short. In a few more years, I might start playing mothers." That means fewer roles.
She had always remained lukewarm in the industry, participated in many dramas, but hadn’t had a breakout role. Even if she was in one, someone else got the spotlight.
Tang Shanshan looked at Nan Chu with envy. Nan Chu had good looks and came from a good family.
It’s incomparable.
When they arrived at the restaurant, they ordered a few dishes. After dinner, they returned to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Nan Chu took out a script and started reading.
This was the script for another series, a crime investigation drama.
In it, she played a woman who suffered domestic abuse and met someone online who, through psychological suggestion, helped her design a plot to kill her husband.
Nan Chu was now delving into the character.
She held a pen, marking notes.
After a night’s rest, Nan Chu went back to filming.
While the lighting was being adjusted, Nan Chu and the others had a brief rest.
At that moment, Zhang Ying’s assistant brought a lot of bubble tea.
"Nan Chu, why aren’t you drinking?" Zhang Ying asked, noticing Nan Chu hadn’t moved. "Don’t like it?"
"I’m thinking about the scene, thank you for the tea." Nan Chu opened it and took a sip.
[Ha, putting on an act. Thinking about the scene, when she’s not even the lead.] Zhang Ying sarcastically thought.
Nan Chu heard Zhang Ying’s inner thoughts, and her smile slightly faded.
During the later shoots, Nan Chu’s acting overshadowed Zhang Ying, causing the director to reprimand Zhang Ying twice.
Zhang Ying internally cursed Nan Chu harshly, but Nan Chu remained in a good mood, unaffected.
The martial arts drama filming lasted three months before Nan Chu moved on to the crime drama crew.
The actor playing her husband drunkenly returned home.
Seeing the mess, he started yelling, "I’ve been working all day, and you can’t even serve a hot meal."
The actor barged into the room and, regardless of his sick wife, grabbed her hair and pulled Nan Chu up.
This pull was skillfully done; it appeared as though Nan Chu was being lifted, but she was actually lifting herself.
"Honey, I’m not feeling well," Nan Chu said weakly.
"What’s so wrong? I bet you’re just lazy," The actor started hitting.
Nan Chu covered her head, enduring punches and kicks.
"Cut."
When the director called cut, they immediately changed costumes and props.
They filmed a few more scenes of her being beaten.
Once the violent scenes were shot, the makeup artist quickly applied injury makeup to Nan Chu on set.
Once the makeup was done, they continued filming.
