"Is there any way to remedy the situation? He performed so well, he won't turn into a wax figure just because of luck, right?" Robin reluctantly asked the sunglasses woman a few more questions.
"There is no way to remedy it, say goodbye to your friend." The sunglasses woman shook her head and walked back to her seat.
"Condolences." The white woman expressed her sympathy for Mallory.
"Your friend will definitely save you." The teenage girl opened her mouth as well.
"Okay, I'll take my time in line." Mallory gave a bitter laugh.
He and Robin only knew each other, not friends, and Robin was not even prepared to save his girlfriend, how could he have the spare capacity to save him?
I really didn't expect that his life, just like this, was over.
After Robin heard the young girl's words, he also just smiled bitterly, because he did not even know how many sets he would survive in the future.
...
After the raffle session, there was the last session.
The session of handling extra business.
This session if nothing happens, the crowd is going to be returned to the stone pillar.
"Tell everyone a good news." The director made an announcement to the crowd.
Mallory hastily raised his head, hoping that this good news could reverse his certain death.
"No way? It's selected for the poster?" The sunglasses woman had an excited expression, based on experience, generally speaking, the good news announced by the director at this time was about being selected for the poster.
"Yes, the scene of the car accident we just shot, because it was wonderful, was selected for the current poster of Film City, each will get an extra 5 points reward." The director nodded.
"Only 5 points?" Mallory muttered.
"Have the points become positive yet?" Robin asked Mallory in a hurry.
"No, it's still minus 3 points." Mallory shook his head.
3 points, just came over to eat some thin rice, sandwich, Hamburger and so on, did not expect to die on that.
It's useless to say anything.
Can only admit their own bad luck.
"What is destined to happen, whose turn it is, no one can run." The man with glasses opened his mouth.
"Can you shut your foul mouth?" Robin cursed at the man with glasses, he clearly felt that the man with glasses was just gloating.
"Is there something wrong with what I said? What's wrong with me? Who are you to keep me from talking?" The glasses man and Robin got into it.
"Quiet! Quiet! There is one last announcement to make!" The director stopped Robin and the man with glasses from arguing.
No one dared to make the director angry, and the scene was suddenly quiet.
"For this scene, group actor Mallory's performance was so outstanding that he was given the opportunity to appear head-on on the poster, and he was rewarded with an extra 5 points for it.
"FUCK!" Mallory slammed his fist on the table in front of him.
This 'FUCK', not a curse, was an expression of his excitement.
"5 points! Bravo!" Robin was excited and patted Mallory's shoulder.
"It's on the edge of a cliff, and it's back again! This set, it's all about playing with the heartbeat." The sunglasses woman sighed a few words.
"Congratulations!" The female white collar congratulated Mallory.
"You deserve it." The old woman also congratulated Mallory.
"He's not turning into a wax figure, is he?" The young woman didn't seem to have figured out what was going on.
"No more, the points in the account are positive now." Robin answered the young girl.
"That's great!" The young girl also felt happy for Mallory.
"Life is always changing, sad and happy." The man with glasses grinned, seemingly regretful.
...
All six sessions were over.
Finally, it was time to be repatriated.
"When is the next time the crew will gather? What film will it be in?" The female white collar asked the director.
"No comment." The director answered the female white collar with an emotionless tone.
"Generally speaking, we'll gather in three or five days, and we'll only know what film we'll be doing next time. This crew so many newcomers, it is estimated that the difficulty of the next scene is still not too high, eight eliminated a look." The sunglasses woman answered the female white collar for the director.
After Mallory narrowly escaped death, the sunglasses woman's investment was not in vain, and seemed to be in a much better mood, and also took the initiative to answer the questions raised by the female white collar.
"Brother, thanks to you saving my life this time, I owe you a favor, if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you." Robin extended his hand to Mallory.
"You're welcome." Mallory and Robin reached out and shook hands.
Although he survived, Mallory was still not very happy.
After a busy game, racking his brains, nine deaths, a big win on set against the kill, only to almost hang up because of something off set, even though he was judged to have performed very well and ended up earning only two points, Mallory's mood was obviously not very good.
But the good thing is that he is still alive.
As long as they are alive, there is hope.
...
After a simple farewell ceremony, the group was 'escorted' by a group of staff members and boarded a bus.
The bus drove for twenty minutes in the film city to a nearby airport.
There were eight black helicopters parked in the airport.
Unlike when they came, the helicopters dropped Mallory off in the tarmac by the sea.
When he returned, he boarded in a uniform airport.
It didn't take long for Mallory to figure out why.
Before boarding the helicopter, the crowd needed to go through security checks, and received extremely strict checks in the security lanes, and nothing was allowed to be brought into the helicopter except the clothes on their bodies.
And clothes, pants, socks, shoes and the like, each only allowed to wear one or a pair, the clothes sold in the film city are not similar to belts, ropes and other decorations on top, shoes are also no laces, probably to prevent them from climbing down from the stone pillars with clothes attached to ropes.
Including the sunglasses woman's cell phone were confiscated and put into the airport locker by the staff for temporary storage.
After waving to each other, Mallory, Robin and others each boarded their respective helicopters.
After the people entered the helicopter, the hatch of the helicopter was closed.
As when they arrived, the cabin was dark and nothing could be seen.
"Being a group actor and having a helicopter for transportation is a great deal." Mallory let out a long sigh.
After a while, he thought of something and reached out to feel around the cabin and found the case he came from.
Unfortunately, the case was empty and there was nothing in it.
It seems that only when returning to the film city, the helicopter box provides a small amount of food and water.
Going back was not available.
In the dark with nothing to do, Mallory sat for a while and then lay down in the cabin.
Maybe he was tired, or maybe it was something else, and soon Mallory went to sleep.
...
I don't know how long it took.
Mallory was woken up by a cold breeze and a sound of music coming from somewhere in his ears.
After waking up, Mallory suddenly realized where he was now.
The helicopter had brought him back to the top of Stonehenge.
The music was coming from the top of the helicopter's cabin, specifically to wake him up.
The helicopter's hatch was open and a cold breeze was blowing in from outside the hatch.
Along with the cold wind, there were flakes of snow blowing in.
It was almost dark outside.
Seeing the still-flying snowflakes outside the cabin, and the unbelievably narrow fuselage located more than a thousand meters high at the top of the stone pillar, as well as the stone pillar on the top of his broken bed piled up thick snow, Mallory the whole person was suddenly overwhelmed by fear and despair.
Climbing down the rickety helicopter's rope ladder and back to the narrow top of Stonehenge was a difficult challenge.
Not to mention, the question of how to spend the night after getting back there.
The snow, still falling.
