The longed-for village system

Chapter 401 Guest Appearance in TV Series

"Brother Honglei, don't blame me for not reminding you! This is my first time acting, so you'd better be prepared for my acting skills." Chen Qing could only remind Sun Honglei again, hoping he would let him off the hook.

"Don't worry, I'll guide you! Besides, you're not the main character, you're just having a cameo, so people won't have high expectations for your acting." Sun Honglei wasn't going to miss this rare opportunity.

Of course, the director and producer would not miss this opportunity either. Everyone knows how popular Chen Qing is now. As long as their TV series includes Chen Qing's name, the ratings will increase by 2 points.

It's fair to say that Chen Qing isn't someone you can hire just because you have money. Without Sun Honglei's connections, Chen Qing wouldn't have been able to participate. As for whether Chen Qing has acting skills, they don't care. Just like Sun Honglei said, Chen Qing only has a few cameo appearances, and no one will pay attention to whether his acting skills are strong.

Most importantly, it's free! Who would refuse such a big star's free performance? Even a fool would know which one to choose.

"Teacher Chen Qing, please feel free to act. Leave the rest to us," Director Wu Shi responded to Chen Qing at the opportune moment.

Seeing this, Chen Qing didn't refuse anymore. He also wanted to try what it was like to act. He had only seen the results of their filming on TV before, and it would be a good experience to personally participate and try a different lifestyle.

Because this is a modern police drama, Chen Qing didn't need to change costumes. He could just take off his mask and start filming. The other actors and extras were very excited to see Chen Qing join the cast, which resulted in the production being cut several times.

"Everyone, I know you're all very excited about Mr. Chen Qing's participation, but please try to calm yourselves down for now, so Mr. Chen Qing doesn't laugh at us." Fifty could only speak up to remind the actors to control their expressions.

After all, they were all professional actors. After being reminded by the director, everyone started to get into filming mode. Chen Qing also tried his best to act arrogant and smug. This time, he played a gang leader who was about to make a black deal with the character played by Sun Honglei.

"Crack! Teacher Chen Qing, you can be a little more arrogant, a little more wicked. That was good just now, but you can definitely do better."

After calling a halt at 50, he gave Chen Qing some guidance because he found that Chen Qing's performance was quite good, both on screen and in terms of acting. As a director, he naturally wanted all the actors to have good acting skills, and he had put all his heart and soul into filming this TV series.

"Okay, director, let's do it again."

This time, Chen Qing was more uninhibited, and the effect was naturally better than last time. Of course, her acting skills were only barely passable at the level of fifty, and there was still a big gap between her and these professional actors. However, it was enough for her first time acting and as a guest star.

Zhao Xiaogu, Liu Shishi, and Ya Ya, the three girls standing nearby, watched Chen Qing act and offered their comments.

"I didn't expect Brother Chen's acting for the first time to be so good; it was much better than my first time."

"It seems that Brother Chen has a good talent for acting! He is usually calm and reserved, but I didn't expect him to be able to play such a roguish character. Maybe he can really pursue an acting career in the future."

"Yes! Little Chen is so malleable. He really is favored by God."

After watching Chen Qing's performance, the three women secretly planned to cast him in a drama with them if a suitable script came along. The script didn't have to be outstanding, but it had to be one where they played lovers or husband and wife, preferably in a sweet romance from beginning to end. "Cut! Great, that take is good. Let's move on to the next one." After saying that, Fifty praised Chen Qing, "Teacher Chen Qing, you acted very well. You can try to be a little more relaxed. I believe you can definitely do it."

"The director is right, Xiao Chen, you have a great talent in this area. You can't tell at all that this is your first time acting. It seems your God really favors you!" Sun Honglei praised with a smile.

With the director's approval, Chen Qing's confidence naturally increased. Although he didn't know how the final result would be, he had had a taste of being an actor today. Chen Qing finished his cameo appearance at three o'clock in the afternoon.

After saying goodbye to Sun Honglei, the four of them left the filming location after being thanked by the director and producer. They planned to visit the Great Wall, have dinner, and then return to the hotel.

"How was it? How did it feel? Acting wasn't as difficult as you thought, was it?" Zhao Xiaogu asked Chen Qing with a smile.

"It's alright, it's quite fun to make a cameo appearance once in a while."

Chen Qing answered truthfully that he could do occasional cameo roles, but he definitely couldn't be a real actor, neither in terms of acting skills nor time. He was satisfied with what he had today.

"Don't be modest, Brother Chen. You've done a great job for your first acting role. When I first started acting, I couldn't even find the camera and the director scolded me!" Ya Ya, in the passenger seat, praised Chen Qing.

"Yaya is right. Even Director Fifty praised your talent. Little Chen, don't be modest. Let's work together sometime!" Liu Shishi in the back seat extended an invitation directly.

Chen Qing didn't get carried away by the three women's praise. He knew his own acting skills too well; he was at most at the level of a regular extra. This was only because he had developed a sense of camera presence through filming "Like a Star." Otherwise, he didn't know how the post-production editing would have turned out today!
"You three, that's enough. Stop praising yourselves. I know my own acting skills, so I won't ruin your TV ratings."

Chen Qing immediately dissuaded the three women from their idea. He could roughly guess what they wanted from their tone; it was impossible for them to ask him to leave the village to film a movie.

Chen Qing's rejection left the three women somewhat disappointed. Their plans had fallen through. This man was really something. Why couldn't he have taken advantage of them while filming together? They could have filmed all the kissing and intimate scenes in close-up shots. It was such a great opportunity, but he didn't know how to seize it.

"Brother Chen, you should really be grateful that your God favors you, otherwise you would really be destined to be single forever." Liu Shishi rolled her beautiful eyes at Chen Qing.

Zhao Xiaogu and Ya Ya both smiled and nodded in agreement with Liu Shishi's evaluation of Chen Qing. Zhao Xiaogu was naturally aware of Liu Shishi and Ya Ya's inner thoughts, which were that they wanted to use the filming of the show to have a romance with Brother Chen, and maybe even be taken advantage of by Brother Chen. Those two lecherous women.

Although she was a little jealous, Zhao Xiaogu was helpless. What could she do when her man was just too outstanding? As long as her girlfriends didn't actually try to steal him away, she would let them have their way with their gossip!

The four of them drove smoothly to the Great Wall. It was a little after four o'clock in the morning, and there were far fewer tourists at the Great Wall in winter. In addition, everyone was fully armed, so the four of them did not attract the attention of the people around them.
