This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

I suspect he's trying to steal the spotlight, but I have no proof.

Stealing the spotlight.

It's not fair to say that many extras do this kind of thing; it's just that many extras who know nothing love to do it.

Wang He's crew didn't tolerate such extras; they fired him immediately, not even letting him eat his boxed lunch.

but...

The problem is, the body was perfectly fine, just lying there.

You say someone is trying to steal the spotlight, but they weren't.

They were just lying there like corpses.

Some clever supporting actors and featured extras can adjust their presence by positioning themselves in front of the camera—this is something taught in textbooks—but the problem is that they have room to improvise.

What role does the corpse play?

Looking at this series of shots, the first person you notice is undoubtedly the lead actor, the second is the supporting actor he's acting opposite, and you shouldn't have a third person to notice.

The appearance of this corpse is rather conspicuous...

"Never mind, it's not a big problem. It's probably just the lighting or something. Let's move on to the next scene."

The next scene still features a corpse.

The footage then came out.

There is still a rather conspicuous 'corpse'!

It's still that same extra!

Wang He was starting to question his existence. What was going on?

"What's going on?"

Although it doesn't affect the final product.

But it just feels weird.

That's weird!

.....

Finally, filming was over and it was time to eat lunch. Even Jiang Chenggang was exhausted.

Playing a corpse isn't an easy task!

"Why were you constantly moving around?" Jiang Chenggang asked, somewhat puzzled. He even suspected that Li Qing had ADHD, making so many scenes while playing a corpse.

"To increase my presence," Li Qing laughed, her eyes fixed on the lunchboxes. She was so happy that it was time to eat.

"What's the point of lying down to increase your presence? Does moving your position increase your presence?" Jiang Chenggang said with a strange look.

There's definitely a lot to learn about it.

Qimen Fengshui.

Li Qing had been moving around, searching for an auspicious location in the feng shui.

He cultivated in the mountains for so many years and was abused by the system for so many years.

Li Qing has already studied enough Qimen Fengshui and the like.

Finding one's auspicious position when doing things is almost instinctive.

"So, it's all-you-can-eat, right?"

Upon arriving at the food station, Li Qing inquired about the logistics.

The logistics staff member, without even looking up, said, "Yes, you can eat your fill, but you can't waste food. If you do, you'll have to pay extra."

Li Qing looked at the boxed lunch, which also included a chicken leg.

The production team is quite generous.

"Two servings, please."

"Want to go first?"

The logistics guy looked up at the handsome young man in front of him, his eyes strange, and said, "Don't waste any food you can't finish."

"I am a martial artist, so I eat a little more than the average person."

Jiang Chenggang, who was behind him, was initially somewhat dismissive, but the Taoist priest in front of him really could eat a lot...

Damn, he had only eaten half of it when Li Qing finished both boxed meals, leaving not a single crumb.

"I'm half full... Could I have another serving?"

"???"

The logistics guy stared at the boxed lunches that had been devoured in a flash, completely bewildered.

This must be a reincarnated starving ghost! It can eat so much!

...

On the other side, Director Wang He also noticed the little Taoist priest eating his meal, who had eaten every last grain of rice from his boxed lunch.

She is thrifty and has a big appetite.

"This starving ghost was the one who just played the corpse..."

Just as Director Wang He was thinking about something...

A conflict broke out nearby, involving the script supervisor and a van.

"What? Is this your road? Can't I stay here?"

They've been here for quite some time.

The people who got off the bus were all skinny and had strange hairstyles.

It's hard not to wonder how a whole cart full of bread people managed to squeeze into it.

The director figured this out.

People from all walks of life, extorting money.

Having encountered this situation frequently, the director was quite adept at it. He smiled slightly and said, "Friends, our crew is filming here. We'll be done soon, so we won't disturb you."

Wang He took out a pack of cigarettes and several red bills.

Upon seeing the thin red bill, the young man, wearing a tank top, with blond hair and a tiger tattoo on his upper arm, smiled.

"You can treat us like beggars, there are ten of us here."

"Well, brother, this is a difficult situation for us too..."

"Difficult to handle?" The gang leader, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, flipped over the script supervisor's desk. "I think we should just forget about it."

The director was also having a headache.

If he really gives the money as he says.

Tomorrow and the day after will be endless extortion.

Call the police?

What if someone says you disturbed their passage? Those thugs act like they're at home in the police station, and besides, they haven't broken the law.

Wang He was incredibly upset. If this happened in Hong Kong, would he have to put up with this? One phone call and the brothers from the Yuan family gang would teach them what it means to be a powerful figure in the underworld.

"Hey, isn't this gang leader a local tyrant? Tell him to go and negotiate with that thug."

Wang He asked the assistant director to call Jiang Chenggang over.

Jiang Chenggang was also in a dilemma. He was just a small gang leader. How could he deal with this group of thugs? At most, he could only give them money and get lost.

The problem now is that this Director Wang doesn't seem very willing to spend money.

What are you doing here if you're not going to pay?

Li Qing noticed Jiang Chenggang's predicament and went over to say something.

"This matter, I can help you resolve."

"Oh?"

"This number."

Li Qing held up two fingers.

"ensure?"

Honestly, this amount isn't a bad way to get rid of this group of thugs.

But that's only for getting rid of "this time".

Who knows if it will happen a second or third time?

Do you think you can reason with thugs?

And you know what? They actually try to reason with you. As long as they're sitting there, pretending to be a crowd of onlookers, you can't just kick them out.

"I promise!"

Jiang Chenggang was still somewhat skeptical and said, "Don't tell me they'll come back to harass you the next day."

"Don't worry, I guarantee I can handle it. Back in Yunshan County, I've dealt with many people like this before, and they usually don't come back the next day." Li Qing revealed a harmless smile.

After a brief discussion with the director, Jiang Chenggang nodded to Li Qing.

Li Qing walked over there.

The gang leader over there knew that Li Qing was the person sent to negotiate.

"How about it? We don't offer discounts here."

Li Qing stared at the gang leader with clear eyes and said, "Then we will not accept any concessions."

"Ha, who do you think you are?"

"This humble Taoist priest is very skilled in combat."

The gang leader laughed.

"Ha, what era are we living in? What good is being able to fight? You think you can fight? Can you even beat a bunch of us?" The gang leader pointed at his henchmen behind him, some of whom were holding watermelon knives and whose sticks were clanging loudly.

"What gang are you involved with?"

Li Qing clasped his right fist with his left hand.

"Yunshan County, Qingyun Temple, Li Qing, Taoist name Xuanqing."

"ha."

Turns out he really is a Taoist priest.

The gang leader laughed.

"So that's it, little..."

At this moment, Li Qing suddenly moved, darted behind them, raised his hands, and slapped the two thugs on the chin.

"deflated..."

Another sweeping leg kick knocked someone down, an elbow strike disarmed him of his long stick, a sweep and a pull, he braced himself on the ground with the stick and kicked away.

Quickly, with a snap, Li Qing swept his long staff down from above with the force of splitting Mount Hua...

The thug's eyes narrowed to cross-eyed; the stick was only 0.01 centimeters from his head...

The world slowed down, and he suddenly realized that in a moment, one can truly think about many things.

I love you mom!

The camera is practically flashing before my eyes!
