Uncle Da, playing the Tree Demon Granny, recites his lines and makes a gesture as if he's about to punish Xiao Zhuo.

A group of extras playing vengeful ghosts and monsters also gathered around.

Each character has bizarre makeup and a terrifying style.

“I have come to atone for my sins. I have brought back two spies, and they are hiding in the grass.”

Wang Xian'er also recited her lines, pointing to the side.

In the bushes nearby are Yan Chixia, played by Zhang Xueyou, and Zen Master Baiyun, played by Liu Xun.

A Buddhist and a Taoist priest, appearing together.

The battle with the Tree Demon Granny is a fight scene in itself.

Actually, there aren't any very complicated movements.

All you need to do is shout out the moves and project your momentum.

There will be special effects later!

Zhang Xueyou: "Heaven and earth are boundless, and the universe borrows their laws!"

Zen Master Baiyun: "Buddha's light shines everywhere!"

Uncle Da: "Extreme Demon Realm!"

The three people coordinated their movements and performed a fight scene.

As for the visual effects of the fight scenes, that's something the actors don't need to worry about.

The production team will use props and special effects in post-production to create the desired effect.

Ultimately, the Tree Demon Granny was defeated.

It's time for Uncle Da's most dangerous scene: his whole body is on fire. This isn't special effects; it's real fire.

Uncle Da is very experienced because he once saved up 100,000 yuan to film dangerous scenes for the Demon Cult assassin Red Lemon.

After filming for ten seconds, crew members rushed over with fire extinguishers.

Uncle Da was also very dedicated, not forgetting his lines, and shouted out the name of the final boss:

"Black Mountain Demon!"

……

That concludes the first half of tonight's late-night show.

The performance lasted for six or seven hours.

It's already 2 a.m.

The actors and crew were exhausted.

"Junior brother, I don't have any more scenes to film, so I'm going back to Wulong Temple to sleep now."

After removing his makeup, Uncle Da felt completely relaxed, and he received his 100,000 yuan film fee!

"Long Yan, come back to Wulong Academy when you have time. Your senior brother will miss you."

At the moment of parting, Uncle Da still looked deeply affectionate.

Long Yan smiled. After filming A Chinese Ghost Story 3, he still had to go back to Wulong Temple.

After seeing off his senior brother, Uncle Da, Long Yan couldn't remove his makeup yet, because there was still a second half of the scene to come.

The finale of A Chinese Ghost Story 3: Defeating the Black Mountain Demon.

The Black Mountain Demon was not portrayed by an actor; instead, a large house with red lanterns hanging on it was used to represent the Black Mountain Demon's form in the human world.

These were all created by the crew members and later through set design and special effects.

The actors had to perform without props, acting out the feeling of fighting the Black Mountain Demon in front of thin air.

Only four actors were involved in filming this scene.

Long Yan, Wang Xian'er, Zhang Xueyou, and Zen Master Baiyun.

The venue is an open space outside Lanruo Temple.

Master Baiyun stood at the very front, followed by Yan Chixia, played by Zhang Xueyou, then the young monk, played by Long Yan, and finally the female ghost Xiao Zhuo, played by Wang Xian'er...

The four people, standing on a kasaya, were about to perform a scene where they were being chased by the Black Mountain Demon, fighting and fleeing at the same time.

Waves against the air!

but,

Just then, Long Yan suddenly sensed the Yin energy, and the Yin energy around him was rapidly increasing!

This surge was terrifying, like a small stream suddenly turning into a vast ocean!

"Little monk, a ghost is coming! You must protect Miss Shishi!"

A voice transmission came from the hermit of the thatched hut to his ear.

Long Yan instinctively put his arm around Wang Xian'er's shoulder and pulled her into his arms.

at this time,

The night surrounding the film set grew ever darker.

Suddenly, the sound of musical instruments echoed, coming from afar and growing ever closer...

Suona!

笙!

"Damn it! Who's playing music like that? Turn it off right now!"

The chief director, Cheng Xiaodong, cursed. It was already 3 a.m., and he was extremely tired.

"Director, it seems like no one is playing music."

The staff checked it and found that the sound system was working perfectly.

"Look, it's a wedding procession!"

Someone suddenly pointed to the overgrown weeds ahead.

A wedding procession, carrying a red sedan chair, stretched as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight.

Those in the lead were all dressed in red.

Their faces were obscured; the left side was all white faces, and the right side was all black faces.

And there was music playing – some were playing the suona, some the sheng, some were banging gongs, and some were scattering flowers…

There were even children carrying lanterns...

It looks just like a traditional wedding, the scene of the bride being welcomed.

"It's the middle of the night, surely it's not really the Black Mountain Demon coming to pick up the bride?"

Director Cheng Xiaodong made a comment,

This caused a burst of laughter from the entire film set.

But the laughter grew weaker and weaker until it stopped.

No one could laugh anymore.

"That area is all overgrown with weeds, there's no road at all! How did the wedding procession get here?"

"Don't you think they walk very fast? They walked from a distance to us in just one minute."

"Who carries white lanterns for their wedding procession? And all the flowers are white too!"

Everyone was horrified.

The entire set was deathly silent!

Three seconds,

Everything collapsed!

"It really is a ghost wedding! They're all ghosts!"

.......

097 A Night Parade of One Hundred Demons! An Indestructible Body! Slaying Thousands of Demons

"A hundred demons parade at night, run!"

The crew members saw the ghost wedding procession getting closer and closer.

They all scattered and fled in all directions, leaving the Lanruo Temple film set.

In the past, only one ghost would appear, but this time a whole group came.

Everyone panicked and ran as fast as they could, as far as they could go.

"Evacuate immediately!"

"Call the police!"

"Please call the police."

The chief director, Cheng Xiaodong, shouted through a megaphone and then quickly left.

They didn't care about the various equipment used for filming.

They didn't even have time to turn off the cameras.

In this situation, escaping is the priority; there's no time to worry about anything else.

Even the actors are all running away.

Li Zhi, Zhang Xueyou, Liu Xun...

Although Zhang Xueyou played Yan Chixia and Liu Xun played Baiyun Zen Master in A Chinese Ghost Story 3,

However, the two real people had absolutely no ability to catch ghosts.

Faced with the parade of a hundred demons, they could only flee in panic.
