If the set yesterday at least managed to maintain a superficial calm, then the atmosphere on the set today can only be described as a dark cloud looming over the city.
The set, which should have been lively and even a little noisy, became unusually quiet today. Gabriel and Samuel greeted the staff they met along the way in a low-key manner and went to the dressing room early to prepare.
"What's going on today..." Samuel pushed the door open, but stepped out the next second and took a closer look at the house number on the door.
That's right, the name on the doorplate was "Gabriel", but how did he see Mr. Lou in the dressing room?
Gabriel had no idea what Samuel was thinking. He pushed the door open and walked in, just in time to meet Jason's eyes.
"Good morning," Jason waved to Gabriel in a good mood, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Samuel, who had just prepared himself to enter the door, said: "!!!"
Last night? Could it be that Gabriel didn't ask him to take him upstairs last night because he wanted to meet his lover in private?
With his back to Samuel, Gabriel, who was completely unaware of his agent's imaginary thoughts, sat down on his chair and nodded calmly: "Not bad."
"I was wrong about the window," Jason put down the script in his hand and pointed at the cat in Samuel's arms, "Is the thing not damaged? I put the card in the cat's bed."
Oliver roared at Jason angrily: He doesn't like that broken card, okay! If someone hadn't held the talisman paper to scare him, he wouldn't have obediently become a courier.
Samuel, who was standing aside, pushed his glasses: I always feel that the world has become magical in one day.
Window? Lou Yingdi's fault? Card?
Is it really what he imagined? !
Gabriel was too lazy to care about the word games that Jason played with him. He leaned back in his chair and asked nonchalantly, "Why are you here? Is there anyone who dares to occupy your dressing room, Brother Lou?"
---Although Gabriel was much older than Jason, and although he had always called him "Little Heavenly Master, Little Heavenly Master" in his heart, Gabriel still had to follow human rules in the human territory.
"Amanda said it would be better if the dressing rooms were combined, so I mentioned this to Director Xu," Jason said seriously, "Daniel went to help me pack my things. This can also help save resources for the crew."
Gabriel rolled his eyes silently: You can't believe him. It took almost a week for Jason to mention the merger of the dressing rooms. Amanda really took the blame.
Jason ignored Gabriel's rolling eyes and said, "Believe me, staying together is the best choice. You will understand later."
Gabriel: ... He was sure that this person really didn't know how to speak properly.
"Samuel, go buy two glasses of juice for me and Brother Lou." Gabriel's words awakened Samuel, who was still in a petrified state. "Watermelon juice with ice, go ahead."
Samuel glanced at Gabriel's expression and realized that he had something to say to Jason in private, so he very tactfully took the cat and ran away, and also carefully helped them close the door.
Given the character and skills of his ancestors, if something really happened, it’s hard to say who would be the one to get into trouble.
The door was closed gently, and Jason smiled: "You are a very sensible agent."
"That's because he's confident in my skills," Gabriel, who was reciting his lines, raised his head and curled his eyes at Jason, "The last person who wanted to seduce me is still in the hospital. Brother Lou, do you want to give it a try?"
Ever since absorbing a drop of Jason's heart blood, Gabriel has become less sensitive to the cold fragrance emanating from Jason's body - or from his flesh and blood.
It still smelled just as good, but he no longer felt that inexplicable hunger.
However, if he played by the rules, Jason would no longer be Jason. He curled his lips and said with interest: "I really want to try it. You looked so beautiful holding the sword last night."
More beautiful than any costume star he had ever seen.
Even though Gabriel was still wearing pajamas and slippers at the time.
Gabriel: ... He lost.
But Jason obviously knew how to stop when he was ahead. He stepped on the edge of Gabriel's patience and then changed the topic to the main business: "Do you know where the female ghost is hiding in the house?"
Gabriel shook his head in a very unsympathetic manner: "I don't know. You are the real Heavenly Master, right? You actually want to ask me about sensing ghosts?"
"Because your aura is too strong, and that ghost is not a fierce ghost, I could only sense your breath in the house these days," Jason explained seriously, "If the female ghost hadn't suddenly revealed her whereabouts yesterday, I might not have been able to follow her breath to your house."
The female ghost who suddenly revealed her tracks was obviously frightened by the cat's cry. Although Oliver was not very aggressive, it was, after all, a black cat that Gabriel had picked up from an ancient tomb and raised for hundreds of years. If it roared a few times fiercely, the little ghost who was not very experienced would indeed be intimidated by Oliver's violence.
The female ghost left the old house and went straight to Gabriel, who played Julian, but she didn't expect that Gabriel was the owner of the cat that scared her away.
However, Oliver's roar at that time was not meant to intimidate. He was simply frightened by a female ghost in red. If it weren't for his roar, Gabriel and Jason wouldn't have been involved last night.
It turns out that this stupid cat is the cause of all the trouble. Gabriel paused as he flipped through the script and decided to just give it a bowl of cat food tonight.
"Actually, I didn't release my aura on purpose. You're just too sensitive." Since he had already agreed to Jason's conditions, Gabriel also fully demonstrated his professionalism. "If necessary, I can deliberately restrain myself."
"No need," Jason refused immediately, "After signing the contract, I have become much more familiar with your spiritual energy. This situation will not happen again."
Moreover, only the spiritual energy around Gabriel, which is free of any hostility and blood, can allow him to practice the Lou family's Taoism without pain. It was not easy to get such a humanoid spiritual energy purifier by his side, so how could Jason be willing to turn it off.
"Whatever you want," Gabriel said nonchalantly, "Where are Sister Qiao and Mia? Why haven't they come to put on makeup yet? Aren't you going to shoot today?"
"Amanda is busy today, so the only one doing our makeup is Mia. Unfortunately, Director Xu took this girl aside and scolded her early in the morning," Jason spread his hands in a helpless manner, "so until Director Xu finishes scolding us, I'm afraid we can only sit here and wait."
Hearing this, Gabriel couldn't help but frowned: "What did Mia do wrong?"
He has a good relationship with Amanda. Now that Amanda has placed her beloved apprentice under his nose, Gabriel would naturally help if he can.
"Not only did I sneak into the makeup room of the crew early in the morning to put on my makeup, but I was also caught by Director Xu." Jason said, "I came early today, and when I went to ask Director Xu to adjust the makeup room, I happened to see him scolding Mia in front of everyone."
Jason sighed softly, "Look at that face. Daniel almost wanted to give him a quick-acting heart-saving pill."
Daniel was well-known in the industry for her omnipotence and transparent personality. It was not surprising for Gabriel to find that he could pull out a quick-acting heart-saving pill from his pocket. However, he still couldn't help but feel a little curious - Jason's attitude towards Henry was too different in public and behind people.
"He has been convicted of many crimes by women and fetuses," Jason explained roughly after noticing Gabriel's curiosity. "Being polite and reliable is a requirement of my job. Daniel only requires me to be a leader. You are obviously not within his scope."
"It's my fault that the species is different," Gabriel shrugged. "Tell me, what did you find?"
Mia was definitely scolded not just for putting makeup on herself, but also because the people brought by Amanda would not be so inappropriate. She already has a full set of makeup tools, so there is no need to go to so much trouble to do such a thing.
"She has the scent of the female ghost on her body. She must have had contact with the female ghost," Jason did not keep it a secret. "But now I can't find the female ghost with the tracking talisman. With my strength, this kind of thing is impossible."
Gabriel nodded to show his understanding. He had seen the female ghost yesterday running around with her hands covering her face after being burned by the golden talisman. If Jason said that he could not track the other party's trace, Gabriel himself would not believe it first.
"Either there is some magical device in this house that can block the Taoist magic, or someone is targeting me behind my back," Jason smiled coldly, "When the election period for the Tianshi Association comes, all kinds of unspeakable things come out."
Especially now that he is getting closer to the period of weakness that occurs every five years in his adult life.
Gabriel didn't know much about the ways of the Tianshi Circle. He turned his head and looked at Jason: "Taoism won't work... Do you want me to find this ghost for you?"
Although he also practiced Taoism, he practiced the ghost way, which was different from Jason's way of practicing the righteous way.
"That's right," Jason nodded in affirmation, "The Lou family has accepted Henry's order, so I naturally have to make a quick decision and not destroy the Lou family's reputation."
If the female ghost had not left the house yesterday to look for Gabriel, it would have been difficult for Jason to track her so clearly; but if the female ghost was not looking for Gabriel, Jason would not have let her escape.
Every sip and every bite is destined. Jason rubbed his fingertips and thought that the current result was not too bad.
Seeing that Gabriel agreed, Jason said, "The books recording the ghost magic are still in the Lou family's ancestral home, but if you are anxious to improve your cultivation, I can provide you with blood at any time."
Gabriel quickly refused without much sincerity: "Sorry, I'm a vegetarian recently."
Jason narrowed his eyes but did not force it, "I haven't seen any good scripts recently. I will ask Daniel to look for one. I will definitely give you a satisfactory resource before we finish filming this drama."
"make a deal."
"Meow."
Gabriel's answer and the cat's meow sounded together. Samuel, who was holding two glasses of watermelon juice, froze in place: Did he accidentally overhear some mysterious transaction that could not be told?
The atmosphere fell into a mysterious silence for three seconds, until Daniel, who brought Mia to the dressing room, broke the silence.
---Director Xu has calmed down and we can start filming today's scenes.
Gabriel looked at Mia, who was crying miserably while holding her makeup box. She had her eyes downcast and her shoulders were shaking. It was obvious that she had not yet adjusted her emotions.
Mia's makeup had long been blurred by her tears, leaving a pink patch on her face. But not only did the smudged makeup not look dirty, it actually made her look prettier.
This makeup technique...
Gabriel flicked the script in his hand. Are all of Amanda’s apprentices so powerful?
