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

On the second day.

I got up at six o'clock, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and brushed my teeth. I casually tied my long hair into a ponytail and practiced Tai Chi to exercise my body.

Running and doing aerobic exercise are habits that Li Qing has maintained while practicing in the mountains. He gets up early to practice a set of boxing moves, which keeps him energetic all day.

Bring a thermos and fill it with hot water.

While you're at it, check out the shops around here.

Crispy fried dough sticks, Ningbo soup dumplings, Shaoxing stinky tofu...

Upon arriving in this place, Li Qing naturally made a note of these restaurants.

Experience the myriad aspects of life.

Of course, all the delicious food in the world should be tasted.

The best things in life are nothing more than eating, drinking, sleeping, and playing. Back when I lived in a small county town, the only restaurants I ate at were Shaxian Restaurant. Now, during the Chinese New Year, it's time for KFC.

There are simply too few consumption channels.

"135 I'll visit Old Wang's steamed bun shop, 246 I'll go to Old Zhang's noodle shop... Oh dear, how should I schedule the stinky tofu shop? Oh well, I'll just divide it into long and short months..."

Li Qing noted down the locations where he would 'hunt' in the days that followed.

After finishing all that, I went to a roadside breakfast shop and bought six large northern-style steamed buns, along with some other snacks.

"Getting up so early?" Jiang Chenggang asked, still half-asleep, as he looked at the radiant Li Qing.

"I'm used to it," Li Qing said with a smile. "Getting up early to exercise makes me feel great all day."

Then Li Qing tossed a big steamed bun to Jiang Chenggang.

In the morning, my appetite is usually not that great. Five big steamed buns, a fried dough stick, and a cup of hot water are enough for me.

"I almost forgot, you're a Taoist priest, that's why you get up this early."

Jiang Chenggang rubbed his eyes and looked at his knock-off Rolex worth three hundred yuan.

"Oh, by the way, I'll give you a special role; you have some lines, but not many."

Jiang Chenggang is not a scoundrel either.

Personal favors aside, taking care of him was indeed a result of layers of favors being placed on him, ultimately ending up in the hands of this small group leader.

Jiang Chenggang hadn't originally planned to take much care of her.

After all, in this area, without connections to the highest levels, no amount of help from anyone can make a difference.

But Jiang Chenggang saw something different in this Taoist priest.

He's a very good fighter.

He's incredibly skilled!

If you take care of him a little today, will he remember your kindness?

It's not that Jiang Chenggang is driven by self-interest.

That's just how the entertainment industry is.

You did me a favor, so I'll repay you with one.

The small favor you did for him when he was just starting out will be invaluable if he becomes famous later.

That favor becomes incredibly significant!

Moreover...

Looking at the still warm Northeastern-style meat bun in my hand.

Jiang Chenggang had a strange feeling.

This is the first time a stranger has been so kind to me.

"That's all for now, time to head out of the theater this afternoon."

In the afternoon, I returned to the curb from yesterday.

The extras were chatting intimately just a moment ago.

The next second, they started scheming and plotting against each other.

"Martial arts drama, you, you, and you, come up here."

Those whose names were called felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

They thanked him profusely after he came up.

After arriving at the film set, Li Qing changed her clothes.

Featured actors are actually quite good; compared to extras who aren't even considered human, featured actors at least get to show their faces.

It can even recite lines.

Although there are.

But not many.

Li Qing changed into ancient clothing and held a large ring-handled sword.

It's a period drama.

A small-time bandit who was killed in the next second.

There's only one line of dialogue.

"Young lady, come with us back up the mountain for some fun!"

Then, in the next second, he was killed instantly by the swordsman. Before being killed, he shouted, "You...you are..." and then lay dead.

It costs 300 yuan in total.

It wasn't a lot of money, but it was a chance to get exposure.

In some large production crews, female extras are even forced to use their bodies in exchange for a chance to appear on screen.

"Remember this, you're going to come here in a bit. Yeah, be sneaky... you know? The better, be shameless, make the audience feel like they want to kill you with one blow. Show me."

Be a little sneaky.

Li Qing thought for a moment, and realized that the girl in front of him didn't look like someone who could make him, a lecherous old man, waver.

Um...

Got it!

Li Qing stared at the girl rehearsing her lines.

She is not a girl.

She is not a girl.

She is not a girl.

She is sweet and sour carp.

She is braised pork ribs.

She is Lily Sauce Chicken Feet.

She is like the white snow on the cold river and the clear fish dew!

"Little sister, come up the mountain with us and have some fun, hehe, hehe..."

He was even drooling as he spoke.

The assistant director was somewhat surprised.

Damn, that's disgusting.

And so, filming began.

The girl acting opposite Li Qing was also frightened when she saw his lewd appearance.

It feels like it's trying to devour me.

No...don't come any closer!

"You...you...don't come any closer!"

Then the hero appeared and killed the lustful bandit with a single stroke.

"You scoundrel, prepare to die!"

"Uh...ah."

The bandit died.

Lying dead.

One take.

300 yuan has been credited to your account.

It's very simple.

Li Qing was very excited.

It wasn't until I became a featured extra that I truly felt like I was entering the entertainment industry.

Things like being used as a backdrop for a corpse.

It's really rather boring.

"They're quite savvy." Jiang Chenggang, standing to the side, couldn't help but look at them with newfound respect.

Just like that.

That's disgusting.

Li Qing chuckled and said, "It's pretty good, this feeling is quite nice."

"It's pretty good, but even this featured actor position is just a tiny bit of a resource."

Jiang Chenggang made a little finger.

These featured actors are a valuable resource, at least for a group leader of his caliber.

This was the highest-level resource he could access.

The best resources are what make them true "actors".

That's not something a small group leader of his level could access.

Those who have access to this level of resources...

"Hmm? Wait a minute, I need to take this call."

Jiang Chenggang went to the other side and bowed obsequiously, answering the phone with his back bent, repeatedly saying, "Okay, okay, thank you, Director Wang."

After finishing the call, he came to Li Qing with a rather complicated expression.

"What's wrong, Old Chiang?"

"You're really lucky."

Jiang Chenggang said, "Director Wang just called and told me that Master Yuan and his brothers will be going to Panyanglou for drinks the day after tomorrow, and he wants you to come and chat with them."

It turns out that yesterday, Director Wang He found Li Qing's skills quite interesting, and since a few members of the Yuan family troupe were drinking nearby, they decided to set up a plan.

Hong Kong isn't big; everyone visits each other's places and knows each other.

Moreover, Wang He was also very intelligent.

Having a drink together doesn't count as setting up a connection, meaning it won't affect his social obligations.

But if it succeeds.

Then Li Qing would owe Wang He a debt of gratitude for recognizing his talent.

Either way, you're not at a disadvantage.

Li Qing thought for a moment, then nodded in sudden realization.

Just because you've been in the mountains for a long time doesn't mean you don't understand human relationships.

Jiang Chenggang paused for a moment and then said, "However, this is not an opportunity that ordinary people can have. It depends on whether you, young Taoist priest, can seize it."

"Then please thank Director Wang for me. No matter the outcome, I will remember this kindness," Li Qing said with a smile.

"Then we should make some preparations."
