Chapter 1, "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is in the queue.
Chapter 1, "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is in the queue.
In the summer of 2001, on the set of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties," the sun was blazing and the air was thick with the stench of sweat.
"Uncle, why is the lunchbox spoiled?"
"Why don't you eat mine?"
"Okay, that's enough..."
Li Yun reluctantly accepted the lunchbox from his uncle, but it still smelled bad, even worse than the lunchbox he had in his own hand.
It's very hot in Hengdian. The boxed lunches, which are baked in the sun in styrofoam boxes on the sidewalk, are so hot that it's hard to imagine them not tasting. So the boxed lunches in Hengdian (extras version) are very salty, extremely salty, so salty that even your own mother wouldn't recognize them.
Hengdian is very cool. The main cast members, Huang Haibin, Nie Yuan, and Zheng Guolin, were staying under a shaded area with fans. Watermelons, fruits, and boxed lunches were kept warm in insulated boxes. Assistants would try their best to bring them any cola, juice, or freshly squeezed drinks they wanted. Although they were just as tired during filming, they were able to rest well during non-filming hours.
"I think this is what a handsome Luo Cheng should be like. Being handsome is a feeling. I'm holding a long spear and swinging it like this."
At this point, Nie Yuan began to speak eloquently.
He crossed his legs and held a script in his hand.
Next to it are a fan and watermelon juice.
Meanwhile, Li Yun, who was playing the role of a soldier, was wearing heavy armor and waiting in the sweltering summer sun, eating a craving boxed lunch.
That's how extras and lead actors are treated, and how there's a hierarchy on set.
If the lead actor throws a tantrum, the extras in their heavy armor can't say anything and can only continue to wait in the sun, still in their armor.
Today I'm playing a Sui and Tang dynasty soldier on set.
We're going to film a dungeon scene in a bit.
Meanwhile, the extras, dressed in heavy armor and waiting in ambush, must be ready to answer the director's call at any time, waiting for the lead actors to finish discussing the script, eating popsicles, drinking watermelon juice, and taking a nap under a high-powered electric fan.
"Uncle, do you have any Huoxiang Zhengqi Water?"
"Yes, yes, yes, we even have Tiger Balm."
Give me some.
"for you."
At this moment, Li Yun's uncle, who was also the group leader, took out a mixture of medicated oil and Huoxiang Zhengqi water. Li Yun drank some of it and applied some medicated oil to his forehead.
Then you feel the temperature drop.
Moreover, medicated oil and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water can effectively suppress the debuff caused by spoiled takeout, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
But this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.
As a time traveler, Li Yun looked at the familiar scene before him. It seemed that no matter whether it was 2026 or 2002, some things had not changed.
In my previous life, I was a struggling actor in Beijing and a seasoned contract actor. I earned 7,000 yuan a month, plus 2000 yuan from a part-time job delivering food. I lived a simple life in a small 5-square-meter room and had no thoughts of dating or getting married.
Then, after filming "Chasing Jade" wrapped up, I had a few drinks, so I didn't order takeout that night. But on the ride-hailing app, I was taken here by a driver from another city who had been drinking.
It seems that whether you work part-time as a food delivery driver or not, the probability of being taken away by a large-scale delivery team is not zero.
"Don't cause any trouble later. This is an opportunity your uncle earned by using a lot of extra resources." Li Xingda reminded Li Yun once again.
"Don't worry. It should be fine."
At this moment, Li Yun took a deep breath.
You need to tell me the truth.
As a time traveler, as a former struggling artist in Beijing, as an actor, and as a minor, insignificant extra.
That's not something you can just do whatever you want with.
Today, Li Yun's role is not just a simple one involving a corpse; he also has a scene with Yuwen Chengdu, where he queues up with Yuwen Chengdu, who always dislikes wasting things.
This scene could be considered a quasi-special guest appearance.
There are shots of him showing his face, and he also has the line, "Okay, okay, thank you, General."
This role was one that his uncle, Li Xingda, had worked on ten minor roles to finally get a chance to appear on screen...
"You bit parts, get ready, it's your turn."
At that moment, a fawning smile instantly spread across Zhang Xingda's face.
"Oh, they're here, they're here! We're all ready."
Then he turned to the extras with a stern face and said, "You guys, wait a minute, you do whatever the director says, understand?"
"understood."
The soldiers queuing up were all extras for Li Xingda.
Of course, Li Yun was just a supporting character.
There are shots showing their faces.
To the other extras, Li Yun was also a despicable crony...
Although the boxed lunches they ate were all spoiled, Li Yun's boxed lunches weren't so spoiled.
That's acceptable.
Looking at the script supervisor who fawns over the lead actors and director, and his attitude towards himself and his uncle.
At this moment, Li Yun was thinking about it.
I want to start in 2002, and then climb up step by step to become capital, and then let the entire entertainment industry be shrouded in my tyranny as capital.
I hate it, I hate that I don't have the resources.
I'm going to use money to rape the entertainment industry!
He's turned evil!
At that moment, a voice echoed in my mind.

Then a panel appeared in front of me.

Looking at the system panel in front of me.
Li Yun was deeply shaken.
I just made up my mind to turn to the dark side as a form of capital.
He was preparing to use his money to rape celebrities, but instead, he got a positive-energy entertainment system.
New player tutorial quests.
Please perform a positive action on set to earn points.
"Positive energy behavior".
At this moment, Li Yun looked at the boxed lunch in his hand, and then at the boxed lunch of the extras next to him.
"Here's my lunchbox for you."
"Give me?"
At this moment, the extras next to him were stunned.
"Yes, here you go."
"Thank you then."
Although the lunchbox in Li Yun's hand was spoiled, the lunchbox of the guy next to him was so shiny it could be stretched into strands.
In comparison, the boxed lunch in Li Yun's hand was still acceptable.
At least under the cover of salt, it wasn't too bad, and as the leader's nephew, he got an extra piece of fat.
Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing a positive energy act and earning 10 positive energy points!
New player reward: Sui Dynasty Soldier Simulation Card.
Sui Dynasty Soldier Simulation Card: Acting Skills Requirement Level 1.
At this moment, Li Yun looked at the glittering gray card in front of him.
I'll order.
Then Li Yun felt his consciousness enter a virtual space.
I am a Sui soldier.
Born in Heishan Town, his elder brother died while forced to work on the canal, his father died while forced to work on the canal, and his mother died after arguing with the supervisor.
After the deaths of her elder brother, husband, and mother, she joined the Sui army in order to survive.
The large sword in his hand had chopped off countless heads.
Most of them were commoners like my father, brother, and mother... Most of the Sui soldiers like me only dared to swing our swords at the heads of these people.
In order to survive.
You've been blinded by greed!
……
"What are you spacing out for?!"
"oh oh."
Only then did Li Yun realize that the script supervisor was calling him.
"Still spacing out at a time like this." The stage manager next to him shook his head. With this kind of attitude, he was destined to never get ahead.
Countless people compete for a single scene with screen time and lines.
Of course, most of the time their struggles are futile.
What they're really seeking is a chance to get noticed.
But there is a gap between hope and reality.
"Here it comes, here it comes."
At this moment, Li Yun suddenly realized what was happening.
The experience I just had in the simulation card felt very real.
At this moment, in the dungeon scene.
"Is everything ready over there? Call them over quickly."
Director Hu Mingkai called out impatiently.
Of course, his name isn't Li Yun.
Instead, it was Zhang Zhengyong, who played Yuwen Chengdu, on the other side.
Supporting actors have a much higher status than extras and featured actors, both in terms of pay and benefits, but in the director's eyes, their status is not very high... In a sense, everyone below the lead actor is treated equally.
"Ready."
At this moment, Zhang Zhengyong walked out wearing heavy armor.
"I'm ready."
"Get ready and let's start filming."
The stage manager snaps the clapperboard, action!
at this time.
Li Yun walked out wearing heavy armor, and in front of him was Tong Leilei, who was bound in a cross shape.
"Speak! Who ordered you to assassinate the Emperor!"
At this moment, Li Yun stared at Tong Leilei with a ferocious expression.
Li Xingda, standing beside him, was nervous; this was Li Yun's first time appearing on screen...
Hu Mingkai, however, watched expressionlessly.
"It is the people of the world!"
"Oh dear, you're still pretty stubborn. If I don't teach you a lesson, I don't think you'll say anything." Li Yun brandished his whip menacingly, creating a sonic boom that echoed through the dungeon and into the walls.
This gave Hu Mingkai a pleasant surprise.
"These extras are really into their roles."
"stop!"
At this moment, Yuwen Chengdu walked in.
Li Yun immediately adopted a fawning expression: "General, this bitch is quite stubborn; she won't say a word!"
"What's there to be afraid of? You're going to die anyway." Yuwen Chengdu looked at Li Rongrong in front of him with a playful smile and said, "The Emperor is right. It would be a pity to kill such a great beauty. I, Yuwen Chengdu, hate wasting things the most... I often eat every single grain of rice in my bowl."
"You dare!"
"Hahaha, she asked me if I dared to do it, guys, do you dare to do it?!"
"With the General's orders, we dare to do anything!"
"Okay, listen to my command, go outside and line up!"
"Hahaha!"
The snickers and lewdness on Yuwen Chengdu's side.
Li Rongrong's despair and humiliated tears.
This is what Hu Mingkai wanted, and looking at the camera, he has all of these things.
however.
"Eh?"
However, at this moment, Hu Mingkai saw something else in the camera's view: the "Sui soldier" in charge of the interrogation.
The 'pain' in his eyes.
He was smiling, clearly flattering Yuwen Chengdu, but his eyes conveyed a deep pain...
"Who is this soldier?"
