Chapter 863 The Entertainment Industry, The Original Female Lead Killed by the Transmigrator (29)
From the time Xiao Yun and the others called the police to the time the police arrived, it took less than half an hour. This place is far from the city and is located in the mountains.
In their view, all the woods here looked pretty much the same. Two local staff members took the smokers who had finished filming back first, and they would come to pick up the rest of them later. The rest of them were from out of town and couldn't tell them the exact location at all.
This would definitely make it more difficult for the other party to find them, but as soon as they heard it, they immediately knew where it was and came over as quickly as possible.
What does this mean? It means they know the terrain here like the back of their hand. You can only imagine how many times they must have run around to memorize all of this and be able to retrieve it at any time.
This is probably why their skin is so rough. The men are fine, but the two policewomen look no older than thirty, yet their skin is worse than that of women in their forties or fifties. They don't have as many wrinkles, but they have a lot of sunspots on their cheeks.
No matter what job they do, all women love beauty, so seeing their appearance made Xiao Yun feel a lot of emotions, and also made her feel a little uncomfortable.
When they arrived at the police station, while they were giving their statements, Xiao Yun added some basic gene-modification fluid to their internal water dispenser. Because it was diluted quite a bit, the effect wouldn't be very obvious; it would only change things slowly.
She also took a picture of a talisman for several police officers whose foreheads were dark and who were about to suffer a bloody disaster. It was a small token of her appreciation. She had a good impression of these people, so she wanted to help them in any way she could.
After the statements were taken, the interrogation results came out. These people had received information that a film crew was shooting here and that no one would be patrolling temporarily, so they planned to take advantage of this loophole.
As for where they got the information from, they didn't know; they were just following orders from above.
Not only did the group readily confess their crimes, but they also revealed the people who were supposed to be their accomplices and several of their subordinates, leaving the police officers in charge of the interrogation completely bewildered. It was far too easy for them; they even suspected that the officers had deliberately provided false information.
This was, of course, also thanks to Xiao Yun. She secretly gave everyone a "truth charm," so they all spoke their minds without reservation...
Later, Xiao Yun secretly helped the police catch a troublesome subordinate. When the other party tried to fake his death by setting fire to escape, Xiao Yun replaced the gasoline in the other party's bucket with water, so that the abandoned car could not be lit. This allowed the police to catch him red-handed.
Unexpectedly, this person also uncovered a hidden domestic sales network, which was a major breakthrough. Another drug trafficking route was destroyed, and the people involved in this case were awarded a collective third-class merit.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Xiao Yun and his team had finished filming their movie. Because they were worried about retaliation from the drug dealers' accomplices, they hurriedly left the border city without even having a wrap party.
When I returned to Beijing, it was already late autumn. The film was scheduled to be released on Police Day, and there were still two or three months in between, which was just enough time to do post-production.
The theme song and ending song that Xiao Yu will sing have entered the recording stage. He wrote the lyrics himself, and the music was composed with the help of a senior musician in the company. He also learned a skill from him.
After all, this was Xiao Yu's first time dealing with these things, and it was related to the movie. He was afraid he wouldn't do a good job without someone to guide him.
Because I went along with the filming and watched several on-site events and documentaries with Xiao Yun, I was deeply moved and wrote this piece while accompanying Xiao Yun.
After finishing the song, he sang it to Xiao Yun first. Xiao Yun looked at the lyrics in her hand and listened to his a cappella singing. She thought it was very good and made people feel very immersed in the song.
After that, he took the song with him to the director and producer, asking Xiao Yu to sing it for them.
The song, sharing the same title as the movie, is called "The Nameless Monument." Xiao Yu sang it in a deliberately slightly hoarse voice:
Hidden beneath the neon lights are undercurrents of waves.
The police badge was pinned to his chest; he dared not make a sound.
He grew his hair long and changed into a roguish outfit.
From then on, his name was buried in the wind, and no one spoke of it.
As the wine glasses clinked, the blade gleamed.
Every step I took was a matter of life and death.
A mother's white hair, a lover's red makeup,
It is the deepest light hidden in my eyes.
I am an unnamed post in the darkness.
Fighting against endless lies in the mire.
When the smoke clears and the light of dawn breaks...
Who will remember that I was once so passionate?
I am a silent gun in the dark alley.
They used their lives to protect the bright sunshine of the world.
If this body is buried in nameless soil,
Please let the wind carry my faith back.
The intelligence contained a deadly secret.
My heartbeat was normal when I had a tooth extracted from the tiger's mouth.
The mission on our shoulders is heavier than life itself.
This disguise is also my military uniform.
I once dreamed of the smoke rising from the chimneys of my hometown.
He woke up in a dark underground stadium.
I dare not look back, I dare not speak of my sorrow.
I was afraid that my tears would betray my disguise.
Don't ask my name, don't look into my past.
My medal is the bright lights of thousands of homes.
If only the world were free from the arrogance of poisonous flames.
That would be my best home.
The wind swept across the wasteland, beside the nameless monument,
A cluster of small flowers quietly... blooms.
"Great! Great! This song is even better than the one we found for the lyricist and composer. The lyrics are even more moving. We agree. This will be the theme song for the scene where the male and female leads sacrifice themselves, as well as the ending theme. Record it as soon as possible so we can include it in post-production."
Director Li Zhenlong said to Xiao Yu with an appreciative look.
Producer Zheng Yuqin, who was standing next to Xiao Yu, nodded in agreement and praised her, saying, "You really are born for this. Your talent is amazing. Just putting this song in will definitely enhance the film."
Xiao Yu smiled a little shyly, "Thank you for your recognition, Director Li and Sister Zheng. I've broadened my horizons and learned a lot by working with the crew during this time. I'll go to the company tomorrow to record the song, and it definitely won't delay post-production."
In the days that followed, Xiao Yu devoted all her energy to recording the song. She was almost completely focused on performing each note, striving to perfectly present the emotions and story conveyed by the music.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yun was working tirelessly on the film's post-production special effects.
Although this crime thriller doesn't rely as heavily on special effects as fantasy films, they still play an indispensable role in certain scenes.
For example, when it comes to scenes involving characters falling from a great height, intense fights, and thrilling gun battles, well-placed special effects can enhance the audience's immersion, making them feel as if they are actually there experiencing the tense and exciting atmosphere.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu's song recording has been completed, while Xiao Yun's post-production work is gradually coming to an end, with all tasks progressing in an orderly manner.
On the eve of Police Day, the film officially premiered, and the theater was packed. When the melody of "The Nameless Monument" played, the audience was immersed in it, and many people were moved by the lyrics and melody, with tears in their eyes.
With the endorsement of the national television station and promotion on the official website, the film was a huge success as expected, and at the same time, Xiao Yu's songs also quickly became popular.
For a long time afterward, this song was considered a classic work praising heroes and even won the Best Theme Song Award in China.
While Xiao Yun and the crew went to receive other awards, she also discovered that she was pregnant. She did not tell her parents and Xiao Yu immediately, but only told them after receiving the awards and when she had nothing else to do.
This news greatly excited Xiao Yu and her parents. The three of them didn't know how to take care of Xiao Yun. After that, they not only prevented her from doing anything strenuous, but also separated her from Guai Guai.
It's not that I'm afraid Guai Guai has any infectious diseases; I take it for a check-up every month. It's because Guai Guai always likes to circle around my feet, and I'm worried that it might trip me and make me fall.
So she took Guai Guai to the third floor and let it roam around there. Xiao Yun could go up to see it when she missed it, but she didn't let it run around on its own.
Now Guai Guai has grown into a big cat, and because of the good food, it is very fat and weighs 18 pounds, which is more than twice as heavy as its mother and brothers who are kept in the space.
Besides, Xiao's parents no longer objected to hiring a nanny, and they even wanted one with a nutritionist's certificate, saying that she would cook specially for Xiao Yun.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Yun asked Xiao Yu to bring out the housekeeping robot, saying that she found it through a friend's introduction and had even forged a lot of documents. Xiao's mother followed along for two days and thought it was indeed very good, even more professional than she had imagined, so she kept the robot.
Even so, the elderly couple were still very worried about Xiao Yun. They would watch her eat every time it was time, fearing that their grandchildren would not develop properly.
Xiao Yu wanted to feed her and drink her, and even follow her to the toilet. In the end, Xiao Yun gave her a good scolding before she returned to normal.
Xiao Yu's excitement was not solely due to the fact that this body was pregnant. After all, it belonged to two different original owners, both of whom had taken over the body halfway through life. They only had a few decades of connection with the child, and couldn't take it with them afterward. The child's bloodline was different from that of the original owner's offspring.
The reason he was so excited was that Xiao Yun's real body was also pregnant!
When they were filming a variety show before, they would meet in their online space at night and even do *that* in the space. It felt like a thrill of having an affair, and unexpectedly, she got pregnant that time.
Later, because I was filming a movie, even though I was in the space for a while, I didn't return to my original body. Since no one would go into the place where my original body was stored, no one noticed.
When Jia Duo Bao went to check on the body that Hu Jiao had originally used, they discovered that there was an egg next to her original body. That's when they realized that Xiao Yu was so excited.
If it weren't for the fact that it might scare people in this world, he would have liked to raise it on his own body. After it hatches, it will become closer to its biological father. This is his true bloodline, and he doesn't know how to be affectionate with it enough.
Since the egg was discovered to have conceived around the same time as the body, Xiao Yun simply kept the egg inside her belly so it could experience the outside world together. She planned to put it back into her space after the baby was born, so that Xiao Yun's actions wouldn't seem too unusual.
Because of my pregnancy, I definitely can't take on any more acting roles for the next two years. I'll also need to breastfeed after the baby is born, so I won't be able to start working again until the child is at least one year old.
Xiao Yu is actually not affected and can go to work, but now he can't be separated from Xiao Yun for even a moment. He worries terribly as soon as she is out of his sight and can't work properly at all.
Fortunately, he didn't have many endorsements to begin with, and they were all already filmed. He could write and record songs at home, and he even set up a recording studio for this purpose. Once he finished his work, he would have professionals come and record it, which left Brother Zhai speechless.
Because she was resting at home during her pregnancy, Xiao Yun would go into her space at night or during her lunch break when she felt bored. She would chat with Yun Sheng and his wife and Bai Qiu and eat delicious food, which also helped replenish the spiritual energy of the egg.
Xiao Yu naturally followed along, and would occasionally call Xiao Lei and Xiao Feng to brag, which made the two of them so angry that they almost ran back.
Of course, Hu Xuan was also quite jealous. Although he already had Yao Yao, he still wanted to have more children. This was both an instinct and a genuine desire; he always felt that the more children the better.
Yao Yao didn't have any particular feelings. Having experienced so many half-siblings across so many worlds, he had lost the initial excitement. However, he was still very happy to have a sibling of the same race.
Xiao Yun would occasionally ask the father and son about the situation over there. Knowing that they had successfully entered that plane and had not been rejected or restricted by the Heavenly Dao, he felt both relieved and worried.
The good thing is that their cultivation is not suppressed, giving them the ability to protect themselves and escape danger at any time. The worry, however, is that the fact that their cultivation is not suppressed indicates a problem with the Heavenly Dao of that world.
There are two possibilities for this situation. One is that it is a higher plane with a strong Heavenly Dao, which is not afraid of powerful beings like them entering. This is because the other party has the ability to destroy them in one move and regards them as insignificant little insects that cannot cause any trouble, so they do not suppress them.
Another possibility is that the plane may not have a Heavenly Dao, or the Heavenly Dao may be too weak, with power below theirs, and simply cannot suppress them, so they are allowed to come and go as they please.
Just like the small world she is in, the reason she suppresses her divine sense is not because she is restricted by the Heavenly Dao, but because she is restricted by this body. Once she completely releases it, this body may turn into minced meat or vaporize.
If it were her true form that entered, any major action could cause chaos or even collapse of the world. Therefore, it was she who suppressed herself, not the Heavenly Dao.
Neither of these situations is a good thing. The former would be very dangerous for them, and the latter would be even worse, because if they caused the collapse of the world, they would have to bear the karmic consequences of destroying the world, which is no laughing matter.
Don't think that karma only arises when you advance in your career or when you encounter a tribulation of punishment. No, that's just ordinary karma caused by committing acts of killing, which is not on the same level as karma that destroys the world.
This world-destroying karma is the heaviest. Besides completely destroying your luck and preventing any progress in your cultivation, it will also send down heavenly punishments whenever it's available, striking you down every day until you are completely annihilated.
