This movie star is absolutely wicked!

Chapter 2, Positive Energy +10

Hu Mingkai looked at the camera with great interest.

Li Rongrong in the footage just now.

He also subconsciously glanced at the obsequious soldier.

But the soldier ultimately did not give any response.

I still went to queue up.

After all, that was General Yuwen's order.

How could a lowly soldier dare to disobey?

At this moment, the script supervisor said...

"This was brought by the group leader named Li Xingda."

"Li Xingda..." Actually, Hu Mingkai didn't know who Li Xingda was, but he still said, "Have him contact this young man."

……

"How's it going? Was your performance okay?" Li Xingda wasn't on set; he could only watch from the outside.

At this moment, Li Yun spoke.

"It feels alright."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Li Xingda patted Li Yun on the shoulder and smiled.

"Summarize the experience, and apply it next time. One day, the director will notice it."

In fact, Li Xingda didn't think that this time his face would be seen by others.

But that's how opportunities are; you can't just give up because the chances are slim. So many men and women working odd jobs in Hengdian World Studios have sacrificed so much for a mere opportunity to appear in front of a director...

However, at that moment, the script supervisor walked over.

He looked Li Yun up and down, then said to Li Xingda, "Our director asked me to inquire whether we should let this kid join our contract production team?"

Li Xingda was taken aback.

At first, I thought I had misheard.

Then the script supervisor said somewhat impatiently.

"Li Quntou, what do you think? How about we get him to sign a special contract with our group?"

"Okay, okay!"

Li Xingda said "good" three times in a row, then exclaimed with delight, "Thank you for the compliment, boss! Have a smoke!"

At this moment, Li Xingda took out the Zhonghua cigarettes that he usually smoked. He usually smoked Hongtashan cigarettes, but since his divorce from his wife, he has even smoked less Hongtashan and can only smoke Daqianmen. But he would never be stingy with the cigarettes he distributed. He would rather skip a meal than not have Zhonghua cigarettes in his pocket.

"You're quite the charmer." At this moment, the script supervisor skillfully lit a cigarette, and Li Xingda lit his own. He teased, "You're lucky. Your nephew just happened to be seen by the director. I don't know what kind of incredible luck you had."

"Just luck, nothing more!"

Then the script supervisor told Li Xingda about the extras they needed next, both men and women, and then left with a cigarette in his mouth.

After the script supervisor left, Li Xingda excitedly picked up Li Yun and exclaimed, "You actually managed to do it! The director saw it! How did you do that?!"

Li Yun felt his uncle's 200-pound embrace.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! I can't take this 200-pound fatso!"

"You're too weak for your age," Li Xingda said, looking at Li Yun with a hint of exasperation. "How can you film at such a high intensity with a physique like yours? It's physically demanding work, requiring you to stay up day and night."

"Okay, Uncle, I'll go work out."

Li Yun felt somewhat helpless about this.

It's written on my own system panel.

His physical condition is indeed a bit weak.

But it's okay, I have a positive energy system, hehehe.

I have a cheat code.

Although this cheat looks a bit strange.

We are required to do positive things.

This isn't too difficult!

Use positive behaviors to increase positive energy.

Then there's a lottery.

"Hey, it's not your fault you're weak. You didn't get enough nutrition when you were little, so your mom made the same choice as my wife. Luckily, I don't have any kids, or I would have suffered a lot." Li Xingda pinched Li Yun's cheek and said, "Luckily, you're handsome, so you can still make a living with me in Hengdian."

Li Xingda looked at Li Yun with great heartache. His mother had run away, his father had died, and he had been left to fend for himself. He didn't have any special skills and could only work as a group leader to make a living. Actually, his monthly income was not bad, about 6000 yuan a month. However, because of his recent divorce, he had to pay for a small Jetta, so he wasn't very well off now.

Fortunately, the spring breeze of reform has swept across the land, and there are many opportunities in the south. I also have some resources in Hengdian, so working as a group leader still provides me with income and cash flow.

Things will get better!

Li Xingda initially thought that it would be good to have Li Yun become familiar with the business as a group leader so that he could also do this job. However, he did not expect that as soon as he got a role that was shown, the director would keep an eye on him.

"Please don't attack my face, which is worth billions, okay?"

"Don't be so vain, you're worth billions."

.........

"Uncle, I'd like to treat you to dinner tonight."

"Then I won't be polite."

Li Yun could indeed feel that things were more comfortable now.

Being a background actor in a production crew is essentially the same as being a background actor; the price remains the same, around thirty or forty yuan per day.

But extras on set have contracts to work with the crew for a month. However, extra work isn't available every day; contracts are usually for 30 days.

In other words, my income will be stable for the next month, with 1000 yuan.

If an ordinary extra or a group leader takes a few dollars a day, their monthly income would probably be around six hundred dollars... Of course, this applies to other extras; the group leader wouldn't take any of Li Yun's money.

Now this is a group of extras.

This brings in a stable price of 1000.

It also includes breakfast and dinner, which is what Li Yun values ​​most. By providing two boxed meals, a lot of money is saved over time. Now, even the most ordinary boxed meal with meat costs 4 yuan. Although the food for extras in Hengdian is terrible, at least they have meat every meal.

At least for Li Yun at the moment.

At least it's a mud bowl!

At least a month's worth of mud rice bowls!

At this moment, the surrounding extras were extremely envious, and even a little jealous. Li Yun vaguely felt that he should now be at the level of "Extra Power, Level 3".

Then I heard someone talking.

Oh, the power of connections.

Sigh, capitalism is rampant.

Alas, it's unfair.

Ugh!

Hearing these voices, Li Yun did not deny them.

Such jealousy and envy are normal.

After all, in an era where the average salary is only six or seven hundred yuan, a stable income of 1000 yuan a month is indeed quite remarkable. 1,000 yuan is comparable to the income level of someone working in Guangdong. In this era of reform and opening up, the income level is considered low among actors, but not bad nationwide.

After all, this is an industry that attracts a lot of hot money.

In the words of later generations, this industry has always had a constant influx of traffic.

Of course, Li Yun felt that there was another very important element involved, which was that the opportunity to be seen by the director gave people a sense of hope that they could become a "big star".

The sweetest part of this dream is the hope of earning 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per episode, just like those big-name actors.

The same applies to Li Yun: sweet dreams, fame, fortune, and money—unfortunately, he can no longer use the capital route to force himself into the entertainment industry, since such an act is far too negative.

I must obtain positive energy by any means necessary, both on and off set.

...

After being upgraded to an extra, Li Yun's meals visibly changed. At least the meat and vegetable boxed lunches weren't spoiled anymore. There was one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, and seaweed and egg drop soup. If you ate at a fast food restaurant around Hengdian, it would cost at least 4 yuan!

At least extras on set are on set.

They were considered formal employees with contracts.

The treatment they receive is on a completely different level compared to that of outsourced extras.

After Li Yun signed the contract, Hu Mingkai briefly explained to Li Yun the role he would be responsible for.

"You'll play the Sui soldier captain and corpse, yes, fight alongside Yuwen Chengdu until Yuwen Chengdu is defeated and killed, and be the first one killed on the battlefield... Just portray that feeling of being caught in the machinations of the martial world, unable to control one's own destiny."

"OK....."

Li Yun nodded, explaining that the Sui soldier he was playing was exactly that kind of character.

He was indeed a "veteran," but the blood on his hands came from killing other villagers. As for actually facing those rebels, he wouldn't survive a single encounter.

The crux of the matter lies in the fact that an ordinary person, oppressed by the times and struggling to survive, goes against their conscience in order to live, even though they know they are wrong.

In the next scene, this cowardly soldier is killed by Li Yuanba's hammer, which smashes into his chest.

The director even gave him a close-up shot when he died, showing him being knocked away and landing on the ground.

"Yuwen Chengdu, and you dogs who aid and abet the tyrant, it's time to step forward and die!"

Until the moment of death.

Li Yun felt his heart filled with endless regret.

For all the mistakes I have made in the past.

In Hu Mingkai's eyes, it was just a suicide move to serve as a stepping stone.

But there seemed to be something off about that look in his eyes.

It seems he deliberately went to meet Li Yuanba's hammer.

He stood between Yuwen Chengdu and Li Yuanba.

Even when facing death, there is fear.

But his eyes seemed to be looking at Li Yuanba, as if he were sacrificing himself to protect him from being injured by Yuwen Chengdu.

Hu Mingkai subconsciously felt this in his heart.

This lowly soldier who aided and abetted the wicked.

They also knew who bore the weight of justice for the world.

They know right from wrong.

They have only ever done so to survive and aid and abet evil.

On his deathbed, he suddenly realized his mistake and devoted himself to the greater good.

Wow, it was clearly the death of a lowly soldier.

But it made Hu Mingkai think of the tragic uprisings of the entire Sui and Tang dynasties.

Outlaw heroes rise up everywhere.

Heads were thrown about, and hot blood splattered.

Heroes and corpses piled up, becoming the sharp blade that overthrew tyrants.

If people had enough to eat and a way to survive, they wouldn't be filled with resentment.

Some chose to rebel against the tyrant, while others chose to submit.

But this subservient representative eventually realized right from wrong, and composed a final hymn of courage for his life.

what.

The photos really capture the feeling.

Hu Mingkai immediately sensed that the flavor was there.

……

"The host has gained 10 points of positive energy."

"Wow, this is so positive!"

At this moment, Li Yun's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that even after this minor role was finished, it would still have positive energy.

Is it because the character's arc light was thrown out?

Li Yun was thinking...

I think I'm starting to understand how the system works.
