Chapter 269 The Zombie Came Back to Life!!!
"Um?!"
The lighting technician standing nearby, adjusting the light, almost popped his eyes out.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking it was just a hallucination from staying up all night.
Followed by.
Under the watchful eyes of dozens of people in the audience.
Jiang Bai's eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened!
Yu Zheng: ? ? ?
Yang Mi: ? ? ?
Everyone: ? ? ?
Followed by.
Zhang Yan, lying on her sickbed, sat up straight like a zombie that had suddenly been recharged.
The hand that was hanging by the bed suddenly grabbed He Shengming's hand!
"Thump!"
The force was so great that even the burly man He Shengming staggered.
After pulling He Shengming over.
Jiang Bai revealed a satisfied expression, then her eyes filled with tears as she stared intently at He Shengming and called out emotionally:
"General! You've finally arrived... I've been waiting so long!"
"Every brick in this Weiyang Palace is engraved with my longing to see you!"
"!!!"
The air froze completely in that instant.
Yu Zheng, who was wiping away tears behind the monitor, dropped the lid of the purple clay teapot onto his lap with a "clatter," and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Lin Xinru was crying her heart out when she was startled by this sudden "resurrection" and nearly fell off her small stool.
The worst off was He Shengming.
He was still composing his feelings of "a hero growing old and losing his beloved" when the "dead man" suddenly opened his eyes and called him general.
The impact is no less than if a zombie jumped out of a Han Dynasty tomb and asked for an autograph.
But He Shengming is a veteran actor after all. After a 0.5-second moment of stunned silence, his mind was instantly captivated by Jiang Bai's "divine" eyes.
He instinctively reached out and grabbed Jiang Bai's cold hand.
"Your Majesty?!"
He Shengming's voice was trembling; this wasn't acting, he was genuinely terrified!
Holy crap!!!
Jiang Bai had gone mad by this point.
"Big sister! What are you doing?!"
"I'm dead! Completely dead! You're some kind of zombie!!"
Zhang Yan chuckled to herself in her mind at this moment:
【"I don't."】
"Even if I die, I want to die in the general's arms, and I want to touch his butt... no, I want to touch his face!"
"What are you touching? Give me back my body!!"
Jiang Bai roared madly deep within his consciousness.
Finally, a second later, the chilling consciousness dissipated, and he abruptly regained control of his body.
Jiang Bai reacted extremely quickly after regaining control of his body.
He quickly covered his mouth, stopping himself from saying anything more.
Then he stiffly turned his head and looked at the astonished crowd.
"Card!!!"
Yu Zheng's shout carried three parts doubt and seven parts shock.
Jiang Bai was so embarrassed he wanted to dig a tunnel right then and there. He awkwardly released He Shengming's already bruised hand and coughed lightly.
"Um... Director, I... I just had a sudden inspiration."
Yu Zheng's lips twitched, and he slammed the walkie-talkie in his hand repeatedly.
"Inspiration? Newbie, you call this inspiration?"
"What we just filmed was a death from illness! It was a scene of life and death!"
"Are you trying to make a movie called 'Zombies in the Han Palace' by suddenly putting on such a brave face?"
Lin Xinru patted her chest, still shaken:
"Bai Zhi, what you did just now almost made me think it was a 'last burst of energy' before death, and that you were going to take me with you."
He Shengming rubbed his wrist, looking at Jiang Bai with a complicated expression.
The line "It's been such a long wait," spoken by Zhang Yan herself, had an emotional impact that was practically nuclear.
His heartbeat is not slowing down, but rather pounding like it's about to fight.
Jiang Bai could only bite the bullet and try to salvage the situation:
"I just feel that... Zhang Yan waited her whole life, and it would be such a pity if she didn't get to say her last words before she died."
"So I was thinking, wouldn't a deathbed confession be more artistically impactful?"
Yu Zheng rolled his eyes and pointed at the replay screen:
"That was quite a shock; my heart almost stopped!"
"But it's not interesting! Not interesting at all!"
"The audience wants to see the poignant beauty of 'unrequited love,' not you and the general putting on an extreme show of 'struggle'!"
"Besides, a dying person almost pulled a grown man down; do you think this is a fantasy drama?"
"Hurry up, get yourself together, and let's do it again!"
Jiang Bai could only smile awkwardly and sheepishly walk to the side.
At this moment, the tears in his heart had flowed like a river.
"Zhang Yan! You come out here! You almost ruined my million-dollar salary!"
He activated his inner berserker mode.
In my mind.
The little Zhang Yan who was acting so wildly just now is now cowering in the corner, looking pitiful with her fingers crossed:
"He just... just wanted to leave a last message. Don't you think the atmosphere just now, combined with the general's heroic face, was especially romantic?"
"Romantic my foot!"
"That's harassment! To Teacher He, that's a 'horror movie'!"
"For me, this is what you call a 'massive social media fiasco'!"
[Zhang Yan (smugly): "Hmph, anyway, I've already touched his hand, so my life is worth it."]
Jiang Bai: "......"
How do you get a tenant who refuses to leave?!
.......
"All departments, get ready! Let's do it one more time!"
Yu Zheng's voice pierced through the stifling air in the studio.
The lighting technician readjusted the filter, making the entire side hall appear even colder and more gloomy.
It was desolate, as if even the air itself smelled of decay and death.
Jiang Bai lay back on the cold, hard hospital bed, took a deep breath, and silently called out in his mind:
"Chief, are you there?"
"Won't that 'zombie-like' situation from earlier happen again later?"
"I've never been this embarrassed in my entire life."
[Ding! Please rest assured, host. The situation just now was due to excessive emotional fluctuations, causing a momentary overflow in personality compatibility. The system has now strengthened the 'mental firewall,' and as long as the host maintains their will, Zhang Yan's personality will not be able to interfere with physical actions.]
"That's good." Jiang Bai was slightly relieved.
But he could sense that the petite figure deep within his consciousness had not disappeared.
On the contrary, that intense, almost tangible reluctance and deep affection transformed into a faint chill, flowing along his meridians to his limbs and bones.
【"Jiang Bai..."】
Zhang Yan's voice was no longer manic; instead, it carried a heartbreaking sense of grievance.
"I...I haven't seen his hair turn white yet, I haven't ground ink for him with my own hands even once, I haven't heard him call out 'Yan'er' under that plum blossom tree..."
"I really don't want to leave..."
Jiang Bai felt a surge of bitterness welling up inside him.
This two-thousand-year-old obsession made even a tough guy like him feel a little teary-eyed.
He responded softly in his mind, his tone filled with unprecedented tenderness:
"Only when this scene is over will your story on this land truly come to an end."
"If you don't close your eyes, this tragedy will never end, and he will forever remain outside the door."
"Listen to me, close your eyes and he will come in... He will be by your bedside; he will be with you for the last time."
"Sweetheart, let go."
The words fell.
A long, faint sigh echoed from within his mind.
That was the relief after seeing through fate, and also the compromise with the last remaining warmth.
Jiang Bai felt the restless energy within his body gradually subside, replaced by an extreme sense of weakness and loneliness.
