{{A Horrifying Shoot}} chapter 2

“Hehe… Do you think I acted well? Do you think I acted well… Hehe… ” The woman’s laughter gradually faded away, followed by a series of sharp busy tones.

The director threw the phone on the ground and tried to calm his racing heart. He thought, “This woman is really crazy, but her acting skills are so amazing. She is almost the best actress I’ve ever seen. Her performance was so real.”

So real! The director had a sudden realization and jumped up from his chair. He rummaged through the edited tapes in a hurry. He stuffed a tape into the projector. “This can’t be true! This can’t be true!” he kept telling himself. Now he wanted to find a flaw in this woman’s performance. Even a single trace of being out of character could disprove that terrible assumption.

Finally, the director played the tape. The picture appeared, showing a beautiful and pale face of a woman. She slowly showed a smile. The director couldn’t believe it and rewound the tape, but there was no content of the filmed movie from beginning to end. Only the woman’s smiling face filled the entire screen. She smiled without a care in the world, silently. Her smile seemed to be frozen there, smiling tirelessly and endlessly…

A week later, the newspaper reported that the young director had quit the film industry. Some senior insiders expressed great regret. According to a fan, he had seen the director in the psychiatric department of a city hospital. But this was just a rumor and not reliable.

At this time, the woman was standing in the middle of a magnificent living room, which was the home of a famous film master.

The master said to the woman, “Well, you always satisfy me. This is what you deserve.”

The woman nodded, took a delicate safe from the master, and walked towards the door.

The master sank into the sofa and smiled contentedly. “How could I tolerate a novice making a big splash? I didn’t do much. I just made that guy lose some creative inspiration. Let him see that banned movie, made some small tricks on the props, and had someone replace the edited film. These were all easy tasks. Only the death of the male lead was an accident, but it made my plan even more perfect. It seems that even God is on my side. I’m the real film master, the genius of creating horror!”

When the woman got home and opened the safe, there was a syringe inside. This expensive syringe had a significant and long – lasting effect on anti – aging.

The woman thought, “Yes, I got a syringe like this in the same way ten years ago. What’s wrong with me? A woman’s pursuit of youth and beauty is as strong as a man’s desire for fame and status. I’ll still be a good actress ten years later!” As she watched the needle pierce her light – blue vein, the woman slowly smiled.
