The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 82

Qing Li followed the Bandaged Ghost into the village.

On the stone-paved path, rows of dilapidated mud houses stood. Broken wooden doors, controlled by the cold winter wind, were on the verge of collapsing.

A pale, childish face peeked out from the gap in a wooden door at Qing Li.

Qing Li suddenly turned around, and the face quickly hid.

[Wow, is that a person or a ghost?]

[Probably a ghost. The chance of encountering living humans in the horror world is too small.]

[This village looks dead. There shouldn’t be any living people here, right?]

[The whole village feels eerie inside and out.]

The Bandaged Ghost led Qing Li to an old, abandoned farmhouse. Under a withered, crooked jujube tree sat a dozen ghosts, with various filming equipment scattered around them.

Seeing Qing Li, a short ghost in a suit, tie, and flat cap stood up.

He adjusted the old glasses on his nose, accidentally scraping off a piece of skin from his nose with his nail. His mung bean eyes, radiating both wisdom and stupidity, scrutinized Qing Li.

Finally, he said very satisfied, “Not bad, not bad. This human actress has the perfect rural naivety for the role. I’m very pleased.”

Rustic Qing Li: (???#)

Really wanted to pull out the ghost’s tongue and tie it in a dead knot!

[Ha ha ha ha, the ghost’s taste is not bad, recognizing the unique rural charm of the village girl at a glance.]

[I’m really looking forward to the content of the film they’re going to shoot.]

[The village, horror film, these two elements combined, isn’t it just like ‘The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village’?]

[If the village girl plays the role, the old corpse of the mountain village might turn into a corpse driver of the mountain village!]

The audience in the live broadcast was enthusiastically discussing.

The short ghost was the director of this crew, and he handed Qing Li a script printed in advance.

Yes, just one page.

The plot of this drama is set in a desolate and dilapidated small mountain village, where a human girl accidentally wanders into the village and unwittingly unleashes the seals of four evil spirits. She is then chased and ultimately devoured alive by these spirits.

“The End of the Entire Play”

Throughout the play, Qing Li’s only lines are screams for help like “Ahh, save me, no, ah~”

After reading the script, Qing Li frowns deeply and says, “Director, this script…”

“How is it? Am I not very talented?” The short ghost boasts proudly.

This is a script he polished for three months, firmly believing that once it’s made into a film, it will shock the entire world of thrillers.

Qing Li crumples the script in her hand, tossing it away, and bluntly states, “It’s like crap.”

The short ghost: ???

Other ghosts in the crew: (O?O)

They can’t believe a human actually said that!

“Hey, aren’t you afraid of dying? He’s the director, if you offend him, no one can protect you,” warns the bandaged ghost, pulling at Qing Li’s clothes, urging her not to speak such blunt truths.

Meanwhile, the short ghost is quite taken aback. With tearful eyes, he looks to the other ghosts and sadly asks, “Is the script really that bad?”

A ghost covered in long hair quickly consoles him, “Director, don’t listen to that human girl. Your script is much better than crap.”

The other ghosts echo in agreement.

Hearing this, the short ghost feels a bit better.

He glares at Qing Li and coldly says, “Country bumpkin, whether you like the script or not, you must act according to it. If you don’t act well, just wait for your death!”

Facing the threat, Qing Li smiles and asks, “Director, what do you think makes a great horror movie?”

The short ghost frowns and blurts out, “A great horror movie is one that instills direct fear into the souls of the audience, making them feel the fear and despair in the movie as if they were there, trembling with fear.”

“The director’s view is good, but our audience is ghosts. Do you think they would feel fear from a movie about evil spirits chasing humans?”

In the eyes of ghosts, it’s just a boring hunting movie!

Qing Li’s words enlighten the short ghost.

“You’re right! I was wrong, my script is indeed like crap.”

No wonder his previous horror movies were criticized as trash by the audience.

He was terribly wrong!

“So, how do you think the script should be changed?”

The short ghost’s attitude does a complete 180, looking at Qing Li with fervent eyes.

Qing Li squints and smiles slightly, “Simple, just reverse the plot. Make it about humans hunting ghosts!”

The atmosphere goes silent in an instant.

The ghosts in the crew stare at Qing Li with wide eyes.

Humans hunting ghosts?

What a shocking and unconventional idea!

“Is this… feasible?” The short ghost hesitates.

Qing Li raises an eyebrow, “Our audience is ghosts. Only if the victims are also ghosts will they empathize and experience the fear and despair in the story.”

Under Qing Li’s persuasion, the short ghost gritted his teeth and agreed, “Fine, I’ll do as you say.”

He picked up a pen and fervently wrote a new script on the original one. After half an hour, a brand-new script was born.

He had a premonition that this script would realize his dream of astonishing the world once filmed.

At that time, he would be a renowned genius in the film and television industry, famous throughout the world!

Qing Li, after reviewing the roughly handwritten script and nodding in satisfaction, inspired the short ghost immensely. He then handed the script to the other four ghost actors for review.

The new storyline was…

In a peaceful and beautiful little mountain village, four carefree and happy ghosts lived.

Until one day, the arrival of an evil human shattered the village’s tranquility.

This human was a psychopath who specialized in slaughtering weak ghosts. The naive and kind ghosts, unaware of the human’s identity, warmly welcomed her. Unexpectedly, on a dark and windy night, the human revealed her true nature, torturing and brutally killing the four helpless ghosts.

Qing Li was satisfied, but the other four ghastly-looking ghost actors had indescribable expressions…

“What a trash script, worse than garbage!”

“Little Li, there’s a significant change in your character in the script, don’t feel too pressured. Just be natural.”

At this moment, the short ghost was entirely focused on Qing Li.

After all, in this movie, the biggest challenge was her acting. Her performance would determine the future of the entire film.

Qing Li grinned, showing her sharp little tiger teeth, and squinted her clear eyes, “Don’t worry, Director. I’ll do my best!”

[The Director needn’t worry about the little village girl. As long as she acts half as herself, this film will surely be a nightmare for ghosts and a box office hit.]

[What does that mean? Why can’t she give a full performance?]

[Because if the little village girl gives a full performance, this movie might turn into an R-rated film.]

The other viewers in the live stream were speechless…

And for some reason, the short ghost felt a chill down his spine seeing Qing Li’s smile.

In the shadows, a broken wall revealed half of a small head, with lifeless, dull eyes fixed on the ghosts in the yard, finally resting on Qing Li…
