I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

"What's wrong, Director Li?"

"Hmm..." Li Yanwen looked at the handsome extra in front of him.

Her eyebrows and eyes were quite nice, and she didn't have the inferiority and fear that most extras had in their eyes.

But it's not arrogance or overconfidence either.

It's more of a sense of composure.

originally.

Li Yanwen didn't really care about these minor extras.

But occasionally, I'll still pay attention to young people who seem to have potential.

He has some skill.

They are hardworking and dedicated, never complaining or afraid of hardship.

Everyone saw it.

"My filming of 'Xiao Shiyi Lang' is about to wrap up. You can go report to the 'Wind and Cloud' set next door then, okay?"

Li Yun was stunned for a moment.

"Is that okay?" Li Yanwen repeated once again.

"Of course, thank you Director Li!!!!"

"Okay, go back to filming." Li Yanwen waved his hand, letting Li Yun continue filming. "Try to get a certificate for a featured actor when you have time."

"Okay, thank you, director!"

Of course, for the rest of the time, the crew treated Li Yun like a beast of burden, paying him thirty yuan a day, squeezing out every last bit of his value.

If Li Yun understood anything during this time, it was that status is truly important in this circle.

The treatment of the lead actors versus the treatment of those in the cast.

That would be great...

now.

Let alone lead or supporting roles, even featured extras have a better job than background actors.

Extras on set.

The difference between being an extra and a background actor is that you have a stable income, but the daily wage is still thirty yuan, and it's barely possible to earn over a thousand yuan a month.

The income of featured actors is much higher.

A monthly salary of at least four thousand yuan is earned by playing roles with screen time, lines, and status, which means truly entering the entertainment industry.

For actors who are not formally trained, taking the special agent certificate exam is probably like taking the adult college entrance exam in the entertainment industry. When you need it, it's quite troublesome if you don't have it, but when you don't need it, it's really useless.

In his previous life, Li Yun was a struggling actor in Hengdian World Studios and even had a special actor certificate, but that didn't stop him from being a background extra.

It's not very useful.

The actors' guild doesn't guarantee casting; finding roles depends on your own resources. Having a featured actor certificate doesn't mean you're a featured actor.

Moreover, in later generations, the special actor certificate was not even obtained through examination; you had to enroll in a class. If you enrolled in a class, you would get it; if you didn't, you wouldn't.

So realistic...

Very real.

A special actor in this era.

It probably still requires real acting skills to pass the exam!

At 9 p.m., after finishing get off work, Li Yun went out for a late-night snack, and it was already past 9 p.m.

Over this period of time, Li Yun also felt that his physical condition had improved a bit... After all, he used to be able to eat meat only a few times a month, but now he can eat meat at every meal.

At least I've achieved the freedom to eat whatever I want! As for body constitution... well, let's take it slow.

After having a satisfying late-night snack, Li Yun finally returned home.

Looking at the female bodhisattva who appeared and disappeared in the shadows, her beautiful figure and appearance were quite remarkable even among ordinary people.

"I got home quite late today."

"Yeah, the crew treated me like a beast of burden," Li Yun complained. "It was incredibly tiring."

"That's wonderful..." Jiang Hui exclaimed.

"At least you have a production crew that treats you like a beast of burden; we can't even be treated like a beast of burden if we want to..."

"Of course."

Li Yun did not deny this.

Many people can only play mahjong in mahjong parlors.

At least I have acting opportunities.

Besides, my days as a beast of burden probably won't last long...

"We can't be oxen or horses, we can only be horses under other people's legs." Jiang Hui took a puff of her cigarette, her expression full of sighs.

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound...

Li Yun nodded in deep agreement.

"However, I don't want to be someone else's puppet. I want to at least keep some principles for myself." Jiang Hui smiled and said, "The result is that I'm twenty-eight years old and still working as an extra here. I haven't even played a role with lines more than a few times."

In fact, Jiang Hui has a chance, as long as she is willing to pay some physical price.

It's about the role.

An opportunity, you know.

some.

But sometimes, not everyone is willing to abandon their principles and pay such a price.

Jiang Hui refused.

"Oh, right, I wanted to tell you something."

"Um?"

"I'm going back to my hometown."

Jiang Hui's face appeared to be in and out of focus under the cheap lighting.

She is actually quite good-looking; tall, with an oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows.

Acting in period dramas would be great for you...

but....

It's the entertainment industry, you know.

There's no shortage of beautiful women here.

There is never a shortage.

Li Yun hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Should I talk to Brother Jiang about it..."

The female bodhisattva Jiang Hui also helped Li Yun quite a bit.

There was a time when Li Yun was so hungry that he had nothing to eat, and it was Jiang Hui who saved him by giving him a large char siu bao (barbecued pork bun).

Li Yun remembers the kindness.

"Thank you for your kindness, but even if you can help me once or twice, or even a few more times, it's not like I haven't had opportunities to play supporting roles before, but..." Jiang Hui's face flickered in and out of the light, "but you can see it, right?"

Li Yun fell silent.

Yes, Jiang Hui... she has had her share of opportunities to shine...

She's only shown her face so many times.

I've wasted many years here.

I'm almost thirty now.

Dream.

It's time to wake up.

Especially in the entertainment industry, the shelf life of female actors is much shorter than that of male actors.

He wasn't famous when he was young.

Then there really won't be another chance.

The entertainment industry is such a cruel place.

A place to chase your dreams...

The dream ends.

The place where dreams shattered.

"Well, I went back to my hometown last year and met someone. He owns a mobile phone shop, and he's pretty good. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll probably marry him when I go back this time..."

Yes, running a mobile phone store, the conditions are quite good.

An honest person.

at this time.

Jiang Hui smiled, her eyes narrowed, "Since we're leaving anyway, why don't we..."

She was unwilling to exchange her body for benefits.

But if you sleep with a handsome guy.

It's not impossible!

Let this be a final thought for the city and for your own dreams.

The dim lighting heightened his hormones, and Li Yun swallowed hard...

Jiang Hui is very beautiful, a long-legged beauty.

Some lecherous individuals have already started to voice their opinions...

In the end, Li Yun still refused...

"Sister, you're getting married soon, this isn't appropriate." Li Yun took a small step back and came up with a reason to refuse.

"You're very different from the men in this industry."

Jiang Hui paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, "You're a good person, a truly good man."

No.

I just don't want to be reincarnated again!

or....

How about we exchange our medical reports?

After exchanging medical examination reports!

It's not impossible.

A man of good character.

Requesting to participate in the battle.

of course.

Li Yun still didn't say those words aloud...

At this point, Jiang Hui had lost interest in the idea.

The sun rose as usual the next day.

The area around the house had already been emptied, so Jiang Hui packed some clothes and shoes and prepared to leave.

Everything else should either be left to Li Yun or kept in this hanging room.

However, this wall hanging has lost one dreamer.

Li Yun watched the hanging female bodhisattva leave and sighed inwardly.

"This place is all bright lights and bustling activity, but that's what it's like."

The sun still rises.

We're filming.

Let's continue as usual.
