Chapter 5 I Have Someone Above Me
"Xu An, did you call us for something?"
This man was the extra who revealed Liu Kaiwei's "script reading in the dark," and many other extras had gathered around him.
The film crew had just finished work in the afternoon and were about to collect their lunch boxes when Xu An stopped them.
"Since you're all here, and this drama is coming to an end, I was thinking of treating everyone to a meal together."
"You're treating us to dinner? When did you become so kind?"
"Hey, what's it to you what other people do? We're treating you to dinner, so what are you afraid of? If you don't go, we'll definitely go!"
The extras standing nearby immediately spoke up.
His words were echoed by many of the extras around him.
We can't let one person's absence prevent them from getting free meals. If someone is treating you and you don't go, that's just plain stupid!
Xu An was not alarmed by this; he had anticipated this outcome.
As I said before, nobody's a fool. If you invite someone to dinner for no reason, it's bound to arouse suspicion!
Fortunately, although the extras were somewhat wary, there weren't many of them!
No matter how delicious a boxed lunch is, can it ever compare to eating out?
The group soon arrived at a roadside food stall.
Xu An didn't rush to speak, but waited until the group had finished eating and drinking before opening his mouth.
"Everyone here is exceptional, and it's impossible for you to stay stuck here forever. I believe you will all achieve great things in the future."
After Xu An finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to him, looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"Alright, we've eaten and drunk enough, so you don't need to say anything more. Just say what you want to say."
"That's right, since we dared to come here, we definitely know you're up to no good."
"Speak your mind, or shut up!"
"..."
The group of people chimed in, and Xu An was quite satisfied with their stance.
"Since that's the case, I'll be frank. I have a job that needs a lot of extras, and the pay is excellent."
"This is a good thing! Why wouldn't you want to do something? You should have told me sooner, or those bastards would have taken it all."
"Brother Xu is truly one of our own; he even thinks of us when there's good news."
"No doubt about it, we have to praise you!"
"Don't rush, I'm not finished yet. This scene is urgent, and it even has to be filmed at the same time as the scene we're currently shooting."
"..."
I'm afraid the air will suddenly become quiet.
The once noisy food stall fell silent instantly after Xu An finished speaking.
They exchanged glances, all understanding what Xu An meant.
He actually wants to film multiple projects at the same time!
This kind of thing is usually something big stars do. I never expected that Xu An, a mere extra, would do something like this. He's really asking for trouble!
"I know what everyone is worried about, but this is definitely not something I can decide."
Xu An pointed upwards: "I have connections!"
Upon hearing this, a group of people immediately exchanged knowing glances.
Oh ~
It turned out to be him!
They said Xu An wouldn't dare to film multiple projects at once, but it turns out it was Assistant Director Lu!
"You should have said it was Assistant Director Lu's request earlier! We would have gone even if it meant skipping dinner!"
"Exactly, if we have this relationship, why are you being so polite with us? It's unnecessary!"
"Assistant Director Lu is our banner; if he tells me to go east, I'll never go west!"
"..."
The extras were quite realistic, completely different from their silence just now.
"I didn't say it was Assistant Director Lu, I only said I have connections, do you understand?"
That's what they say, but which extra doesn't understand?
Who else but Assistant Director Lu could instruct Xu An to do such a thing?
"I understand, I understand, I'll definitely keep my mouth shut, bro, I'm the most discreet guy ever!"
This is the person who revealed Liu Kaiwei's "script reading in the dark".
If he keeps his mouth shut, then there's no one who doesn't!
His friend had just told him about it, and then he told everyone on set.
"I'm not forcing anyone to do this. I'm going to be in the TV series 'The Advisors Alliance' because I heard that Zhen Mi in that series is a great beauty."
Upon hearing the name "great beauty," the extras' eyes lit up even more.
Who wouldn't want a beautiful woman on set? Even if nothing happens, just being pleasing to the eye is enough, and it's better than looking at a bunch of men, right?
Seeing that the group was eager to try, Xu An felt relieved.
We've tried everything we can; if that doesn't work, then we're out of options.
He even brought up the banner of Assistant Director Lu, because he couldn't always be tricked by that cunning old man; he had to make some preparations.
If this goes smoothly, fine. But if anything goes wrong, that cunning old man won't be able to escape either.
Come on, hurt each other!
After paying the bill, Xu An saw off the extras and then deliberately returned to his seat.
These people just dropped a few orbs of light; we must pick them up!
[Perfunctory expression +1]
[Assembly Line Dialogue +1]
[Fleeting Gaze +1]
[Weak constitution +1]
"..."
Xu An looked at the weak physique in front of him and felt an indescribable sense of awkwardness.
What use is this thing to him? If it weren't for the fact that it can enhance his aura attribute, he would never want it!
Just after absorbing the [Weak Physique], Xu An became somewhat listless, as if his body had been hollowed out!
Fortunately, Xu An adjusted in time, otherwise he would have suffered a huge loss!
After resolving the issue with the extras, Xu An sent an "OK" message to Assistant Director Lu.
Not long after, the other party replied with a message.
【I see】
Not a single word of doubt was uttered; it was that concise.
Putting away the phone, Xu An walked towards the rented room.
On the way, he kept recalling his time as an aspiring actor in Hengdian World Studios.
As a reborn individual, his journey as a struggling actor in Hengdian World Studios was nothing short of miserable.
Others who are reborn take off in a spiral, reaching the pinnacle of life.
When it came to him, he was targeted by that cunning old fox right from the start. Every step he took was like walking on thin ice, and one wrong move could mean his demise.
"Hey guys, let's get this 1314 going! Let me see your enthusiasm, okay?"
As soon as Xu An entered the rented room, he heard Liu Yuning's wailing and howling.
"Holy crap, can you stop yelling like that, you big idiot Liu?"
"I thought you weren't coming back. Why are you so late today?"
Liu Yuning stood up and gave Xu An an awkward smile.
His height of 1.89 meters was significantly taller than Xu An's 1.82 meters, and he was also very thin, looking like a bamboo pole.
"Alright, keep your voice down, I need to sleep."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep my voice down, it definitely won't disturb your sleep!"
As soon as she agreed, Liu Yuning turned around and started interacting with the viewers in the live stream.
"Hey, it's nothing. My roommate is back. He's been filming all day, so I have to keep my voice down so as not to disturb his rest."
"What? You guys are asking why I haven't been out filming? I can't livestream while I'm filming, but I'll post some behind-the-scenes photos for you guys to see later."
He's completely neglecting his duties by acting now. He should focus on studying music and boosting his popularity. Without popularity, his looks won't allow him to survive in the entertainment industry.
After all, the title of "ugliest male actor in period dramas" was tailor-made for him!
But after he became popular in the online celebrity circle, his fans really gave him tremendous support, and he managed to carve out a niche for himself in the entertainment industry by relying on his online celebrity fans.
