0713: You who shine in the parallel world

After glancing at her fans in Chen Tansheng's big eyes, Yu Yu happily took the empty coffee cup and threw it into the trash can, then got into the same car with Wang Yuexin and Land Rover to rest.

After resting for about half an hour, the staff of "Happy Departure" came over and called them out to gather. Zhao Hao received news from the crew that the bus to pick up the extras would be coming soon.

The seven of them waited outside the hotel impatiently and even started to add extra scenes for themselves, and finally they got the bus to the set.

While waiting on the set, they received a piece of good news: when they were acting, they could appropriately add some identity background settings and the corresponding bounty amount to themselves, because this scene was about a group of vicious robbers in an inn comparing their prices.

Seeing that everyone else had come up with the nicknames they had created in the Mushroom House, Yu Yu also thought of one of his own: "Yu Lie Ping, never roll his eyes, murdered dozens of employers, reward of 2,333 taels of silver."

"Wow, you have taken down a lot of bosses by committing crimes against your superiors." Wang Yuexin shook her index finger at Yu Yu.

"How dare you, you are in such a bad situation and have such ulterior motives, how can you think of killing your employer?" Zhang Yuan also pointed and said, "Do you still want to stay in this business?"

After putting on the beard, Yu Yu deliberately acted vicious, and indeed had a bit of the flavor of a gangster: "If the problem cannot be solved, then solve the person who created the problem. This is better than delaying the time to go to the government office to sue."

Chen Tansheng, who was sued by Yu Yu in the government office, said: "?"

Su Xing, who was also beaten up in the face and went to the government office to sue: "?"

"Hahahahahahahaha." The other brothers who knew the inside story were running around laughing.

Zhao Hao and producer Dalin, who were having a headache about whether this segment could be broadcast, said: "..."

"You are really worthy of being the lawless criminal Yu Tangping. You are a role model for robbers like us. I am so sorry for your disrespect." Wang Yuexin immediately saluted with his fists.

Yu Yu clasped his fists in return: "Thank you for the compliment, Wang Sanjin, you are not bad either."

Everyone was waiting outside the set. After the prop master had finished setting up the backstage, they followed the other extras into the inn.

The seven people were distributed at two tables on the outside close to the camera. Yu Yu, Wang Yuexin and Wang Zhengliang were at one table, and the remaining four were at another table.

Yu Yu has never filmed a movie in his previous life or this life. While the other six brothers have more or less had works, he rarely even wears the Q God headgear to go through the motions in his own MVs.

So, this is his first play as a rookie actor, but he has always been confident in his acting skills.

He found everything in the inn quite novel. If there weren't a lot of staff members around carrying equipment and wearing modern clothes, he would have had the illusion of traveling through time by being with a group of people dressed in ancient costumes.

He could eat all the peanuts and pork elbows on the table. If the pork elbows weren't too big to chew, he would have started chewing them instead of quietly eating the peanuts.

But it was still edible after the filming started. Yu Yu directly picked up a big pork elbow and started gnawing on it. He was still gnawing after Xie Xingyang, who played the male lead, kicked the door open.

Although the taste is not very good, the pork elbow is stewed well and is edible.

Wang Yuexin and Wang Zhengliang, who were sitting at the same table, almost burst out laughing when they saw Yu Yu chewing and shouting out his reward. Fortunately, Wang Zhengliang had his back to the camera, and Wang Yuexin was a professional in acting and was able to control herself.

After the filming was paused, Lu Hu immediately turned around and said to Yu Yu: "I just saw a large plate of beef bones and wanted to nibble on them, but I didn't dare to reach out. Yu Yu, is your elbow delicious?"

"It's very rotten, but also very bland and tasteless." Yu Yu replied. He wanted to continue eating it, but Wang Yuexin held his hand.

"Stop eating, seriously. We have to shoot several shots for this scene, both close-up and long shots. If we can't get through a few takes, we have to keep shooting. Then you'll have to keep eating. You'll be so full that you'll die."

"Then I'd rather not eat this pork rib." After hearing this, Land Rover immediately put down the big bone stick.

"Okay, I'll chew it slowly." Yu Yu put down the elbow. Fortunately, the elbow was quite big. He chewed it slowly. Even if he had to retake several takes, he would not be able to finish chewing the elbow in a short time.

The director was quite satisfied with Yu Yu's scene of gnawing on pork elbow. When others were showing off their reward money very seriously, he was the only one gnawing on it very honestly, which was quite consistent with the mental state of his name, and also surprisingly in line with the comedic core of their drama.

He thinks that although Yu Yu has no acting skills, she has the potential to be a comedian.

? Why is this person cursing so badly?

After this scene, they were called out again to put on makeup for their injuries, and the scene in the inn had to be rearranged.

This group of robbers was quickly dealt with by the male protagonist. When the constables arrived, they were so badly beaten that they could only lie on the ground groaning.

Yu Yu leaned against the wall and hummed in an extremely exaggerated manner. He was quite into the role and felt like his ribs were broken so he shouted very hard. This made Wang Zhengliang so amused that he turned over with his face down and laughed non-stop, kicking his leg as he laughed.

"Don't hum..." He grinned at Yu Yu in a very low voice.

"Oh no, no, my leg is broken too." Yu Yu exaggeratedly touched his leg that was kicked by Wang Zhengliang.

After the two scenes were shot, their work as extras was also over. The two scenes they participated in also happened to be the last scenes of the show, and after shooting, they could also wrap up the show.

Su Xing suggested that they could go to the bamboo forest next door to shoot a short video while they were still wearing the costumes and props, and it would be a good idea to make use of the existing costumes.

They immediately ran to the bamboo forest, waving their weapons around, and filmed a video showing themselves with bruised faces and noses after struggling in the music industry.

Back on the set, the others, who were watching the fun, encouraged Su Xing to ask the director who, in his mind, had the highest acting ceiling among the extras.

When Yu Yu heard this, he immediately straightened his chest and looked confident.

Su Xing also felt that he should be the ceiling.

Chen Tansheng smiled calmly.

Wang Yuexin, who had a lot of experience, just wanted to watch the fun with a smile.

The director hesitated for a moment, then smiled and pointed at Chen Qiansheng, who didn't have a single line of dialogue but exuded the aura of a big boss.

Zhang Yuan and Lu Hu immediately jumped to Chen Tansheng's side and surrounded him, cheering for him.

Yu Yu slightly opened his eyes. Aren't his lines, emotions and actions good? If he wants to be disdainful (referring to talking about reward silver while eating pork elbow), he has disdain. If he wants to be in pain (referring to the male lead breaking his "ribs" and Xiao Liang's "legs broken"), he has pain. Isn't it vivid?

Without saying anything, Su Xing and Wang Yuexin turned around and walked away, arm in arm. Su Xing also dragged away Yu Yu, who was standing there in a daze, and said, "Go, go, don't embarrass yourself by staying here."

The three of them walked to the door and then turned back. The director was still trying to make up for them. After all, Chen Kesheng had no lines the whole time and could only respond with reactions, while they all had lines. In fact, all six of them were equally outstanding.

"Brother Sheng is worthy of being Brother Sheng. He can easily defeat us without any lines." Yu Yu sighed.

"Look, it's a match between the champion and the runner-up, and you two are fifth and seventh, what are you doing just trying to get by?" Zhang Yuan said sarcastically.

"In the end, the outcome was the same as ours, just as good." Land Rover also took advantage of the opportunity to make a move.

The seven of them burst into laughter again.

Although it was a pity that Yu Yu failed to win the title of acting ceiling, but after receiving the salary for extras earned after a day's hard work, all the regrets were thrown behind him.

All of them were given extra scenes and lines at the last minute, and their salary was a little higher than that of ordinary extras, a full 170 yuan each. Together with the 800 yuan red envelope sent by Xie Xingyang, the male lead in Land Rover's Friends, and the 785 yuan owed to the director team, they still earned 1205 yuan.

After earning twelve hundred yuan, we happily changed our clothes and removed our makeup. Then we all put on hats and went to a restaurant to have a big meal without makeup.

But they all knew in their hearts that the reason they could earn so much money and eat such a big table of food today was because they were the bonus of being stars. The crew invited the seven of them to make guest appearances in the show to help promote it, so they actually made money.

So, they all sat as close to the camera as possible, and everyone had lines. The 170 yuan a day extra fee was paid as promised, including the red envelopes that Xie Xingyang sent later. It was all because the crew used his relationship to pay them in various ways.

This is a very realistic problem. Yu Yu, who has lived two lives, can see it. Others who have been working in the domestic entertainment industry for more than a decade naturally understand that all the unspoken rules are tied to the interest chain.

They are no longer the young boys who could overturn the table in a fit of impulse, but that young boy has never left.

If they had really been smooth and compromised, they wouldn't have been noticed by people only now.

Yu Yu listened to them talking about the extras who earned 120 yuan a day for their dreams and would not be willing to have the same big meal as them. He actually understood that they were talking about themselves in the past.

Some of them started from scratch after breaking everything for their dreams, some continued to make their own music when capital was cold to them, and some kept falling and getting up, still moving forward even with bruises on their faces...

The reason why they can easily resonate with those extras is actually because they are now people who have experienced it, and when they look at themselves who were still struggling forward in the quagmire, they pat them on the shoulders and say, I'll wait for you in the future.

Yu Yu felt a little sad when he thought about how he used to say that it didn't matter but was always restrained and hid everything. Sometimes seeing clearly and thinking clearly are two different things.

Thinking of this, Yu Yu inexplicably took out his mobile phone and looked at the calendar. Today was May 5th, and there were only three days left before Query's new album audio was released on the music platform.

Somehow, he actually began to look forward to it.

He opened WhatsApp on a rare occasion, skipping over text messages from a few friends who knew him well - from the comments section on Instagram where Cyrus went wild but got ignored, they discovered that he had been missing for such a long time and it turned out that he had come to China to debut as a star and record a variety show. They really wanted to find out what was going on - he opened Oliver's message.

Because he often didn't reply to work messages, the messages Oliver sent him were more like work messages or memos. Although it was unclear when Yu Yu would click to read them, he had been keeping up with the progress of Q Shen's new album.

“When is the MV scheduled?”

Taking into account the time difference, it should be early morning in Oliver's place. As a qualified workhorse, he should have been at work long ago. Yu Yu has always been a friend he focuses on, so the next second after Yu Yu sent the message, he received a reply from Oliver -

“?!!”

"I'm not awake yet?"

"Did you accidentally send the wrong message?"

"Are you me???"

The poor kid is still hungover.

"It's not me. I'm Li Mu."

Oliver was sure that this painting must be his boss's: "It is tentatively scheduled for May 5th. There are still some things that have not been determined about the shooting location. Once it is confirmed, we can start."

"As for May 5, if we cannot confirm that it is a cost and funding issue, then it is not a problem. We do not need to control costs this time."

"OK, it's your money anyway."

Oliver seemed to have sensed something behind the few words in the text message. He teased again, "Why are you so motivated all of a sudden? You're someone who usually doesn't work hard and would just lie down and do nothing. How could you suddenly become so motivated? Do you have some terminal illness?"

Well, the last time he was overly ambitious was indeed because of a terminal illness, but this time it’s different.

"Don't worry, even if I get terminally ill, I won't write your name in my will."

"Yu Yu, who are you chatting with? You are smiling so obscenely, is there something going on?" Wang Yuexin saw that Yu Yu was playing with his phone without saying a word, so she immediately cue him.

"No, I'm replying to my agent's message." Yu Yu said, putting down his phone and clinking glasses with Wang Yuexin.

"Oh? Is this a sudden job?" Zhang Yuan pricked up his ears.

"Indeed, we are still in contact, and not sure if it will work." Yu Yu answered. His acting skills were obviously not that good when he was acting, but now he can speak nonsense without blushing or breathing hard.

"Where were you talking about?" He changed the subject.

Others did not find it strange, and Chen Kangsheng even helped him catch up: "We were discussing what gift to give Hu Zi when he moved into his new home."

Wang Zhengliang also mentioned what the others would give. Su Xing would give a big TV, Chen Qisheng would give a vacuum cleaner, and Zhang Yuan and he would give cash.

"It seems that what Brother Hu needs most right now is a discount." Yu Yu discovered the blind spot.

Lu Hu smiled sheepishly: "Because to be honest, all I need now is a TV."

"? So I'm the only one who gave you the TV, and the rest of you should just give your blessings?" Su Xing felt like a clown at the moment, "Then can I not give you the TV, but just give you a toast?"

"But you see, what you give are what people need most," said Zhang Yuan.

Lu Hu is actually very satisfied with the current status of being together with his brothers, so he also said that if they have the chance in the future, it doesn't matter if no one gives him a job. After all, he is about to enter the next stage of his life, and he can't do without some work.

After he said this, he had to make it clear, so Su Xing immediately asked when they would enter the next stage.

In front of the camera, Lu Hu said gently but firmly that as long as she nodded, they would proceed to the next stage.

"Then I might as well give you a honeymoon trip. You can just go and have fun, and you don't have to worry about anything else." Yu Yu immediately thought of a perfect housewarming gift.

Lu Hu also liked this gift, but he hesitated for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be a bad idea to give this as a housewarming gift?"

"Oh, Huzi, what you mean is that this gift should be given during the next wedding banquet. There are few fish and you have to give something else for the greenhouse." Su Xing got full marks in reading comprehension.

"Well, actually...that's right..." Lu Hu gave Su Xing a duck head embarrassedly. He actually just felt that Yu Yu's gift was too expensive, but Su Xing's explanation was quite touching.

Yu Yu smiled and spread his hands: "Then I'll cash it in too."
