Chapter 6
Compared to Liu Yuning, the "ugliest male actor in period dramas," Xu An's situation isn't much better.
The two of them could be considered brothers in misfortune.
For some reason, Xu An felt a sense of shared misfortune.
But the thought of his cheat ability immediately made me feel better.
Oops, I almost forgot, bro, I have a cheat code!
Another day has passed.
Assistant Director Lu and Xu An had arranged a meeting place, and they could go directly to the film set in the morning.
Xu An told the other extras about it early in the morning, and they acted very cautiously, as if they had done something wrong.
Their state almost made Xu An laugh, not because these people were too cowardly, but because he saw a ball of light next to them.
Even the way they looked at the extras changed; they were just a bunch of sheep covered in wool!
"Brother Xu, do you think what we're doing is a bit inappropriate?"
Xu An turned around and glanced at the extra.
Damn it!
You didn't have this expression when we were eating that day. What happened to your promise back then?
That's such a quick change of expression!
"What do you mean? You want to leave?"
"No, that's not it. I just wanted to ask, are there really any stunningly beautiful women in this drama?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several bright eyes appeared behind him.
Xu An almost laughed out of anger. So they were all perverts!
"There are definitely stunning beauties among them. Would I lie to you about something like this? Would the most beautiful Zhen Mi be joking with you?"
"Then we can rest assured."
"Me too!"
The fact that these people were so enthusiastic reassured him quite a bit.
As long as you don't tell anyone about it, he can't control what happens next.
soon.
Xu An and his entourage arrived at the set of "The Advisors Alliance" in a great hurry.
After I explained my purpose, an assistant director immediately came out.
Although Xu An and the others were just extras, the assistant director was still quite enthusiastic.
This is understandable, since they came to the rescue.
Whether it's genuine or not, appearances have to be respectable.
"Please change into your uniforms in a bit. We've already made arrangements regarding your treatment..."
"There's no rush, we can discuss it in detail later."
This wasn't Xu An trying to take a kickback; rather, he wanted to take the opportunity to help these clueless extras gain more benefits.
You can't risk your professional ethics by filming multiple projects at once, only to end up with no benefit at all, can you?
That's just treating people like suckers!
When getting things done, you can't just look after your superiors; you also have to take care of the people below you. That's what it means to get things done!
"Okay, okay, you guys change your clothes first, we're in a rush for this scene."
Xu An didn't say much and led his people to the fitting room.
"The Advisors Alliance" is, after all, a historical drama. Historical dramas may not have many other features, but they have a lot of rooms. Even the extras have their own rooms that they use as dressing rooms.
It wasn't time to make a stand-in for Cao Rui yet, so Xu An changed into his soldier uniform with everyone else and then followed the director's assistant to an empty room.
"There's no one here right now, let's talk about compensation. Let's discuss this in advance to avoid disputes later."
Xu An took the initiative to start talking.
The assistant director smiled, clearly assuming Xu An was someone who took kickbacks.
"We've spoken to your assistant director about this."
"I know, but there are some things we extras also need to understand. We can't be used as pawns without knowing anything."
"Didn't he tell you? It's 200 per person per day, plus two meals."
Xu An was stunned by the price. What a bargain! The treatment was really that good.
Keep in mind that each person in the "Liu Hai Plays with the Golden Toad" crew only earned 150 yuan a day.
The assistant director said 200, and the extra 50 yuan is a valuable living expense for the extras.
However, Xu An was not entirely at ease. They were talking about 200, but it was uncertain how much they would actually receive. It would depend on the final settlement by Assistant Director Lu.
If he peels off another layer, Xu An will fall into his trap again.
All the extras heard him discussing his treatment with the assistant director. If the treatment wasn't good, they wouldn't blame the assistant director, but would suspect that Xu An was exploiting them.
But you can't blame him. Xu An jumped into the pit on his own initiative, and even had a smile on his face!
The more he thought about it, the more chills ran down his spine; he hadn't expected the matter to be so troublesome.
This is also related to the fact that he thinks too much. After all, a reborn person can't have a blank mind like an idiot.
The more he thought about it, the deeper he fell into the pit. Assistant Director Lu is a real cunning old fox!
"Alright, you won't be shortchanged on treatment. Let's hurry up and finish this scene first." The assistant director patted Xu An on the shoulder with a smile.
Xu An gave a bitter smile. This was all he could do now. He hoped that the old bastard, Assistant Director Lu, wouldn't screw him over, or he would definitely fight him to the death!
Damn it!
I've never seen such a treacherous person!
Not long after.
The assistant director brought a group of extras to the set. Xu An glanced over and realized that they were all big stars!
Wu Moubo, who had not yet been involved in the incident, was chatting with Yu and Wei, who were standing next to him, and the two were laughing and talking.
Standing next to them were Li Chen, who played Cao Pi, and Yang Xiu!
The actor who plays Yang Xiu has an even more impressive background!
Zhai Tianlin!
He single-handedly shook up the plagiarism rate of academic papers!
Even in 2025, college students will still send him warm greetings!
(Tian Wenjing—)!
To be fair, although this guy has issues with his educational background, his acting skills are undeniable; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to participate in so many dramas filled with veteran actors.
"All departments in position, filming about to begin!"
"Come on, 3, 2, 1, Action!"
As soon as the director finished speaking, the sound of the clapperboard rang out.
Xu An stood at the back, craning his neck to look at Yu and Wei in the center.
Yu Hewei's expression was very relaxed, but his eyes were unusually bright as he looked at everyone, and he said in a loud voice:
"Remove all Han officials whose official records are in the Han court but not in the Sikong Mansion, and send them to the Dali Temple for trial."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Hewei immediately looked around, his eyes narrowed, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips:
"Whether someone is innocent or not depends on whose family members produce evidence first."
Xu An watched with great interest, and Yu and Wei's delivery of lines and rhythm were just right.
His facial expressions, in particular, perfectly captured the powerful and spirited Cao Cao.
Xu An felt that Yu Hewei's portrayal of Cao Cao was much better than his portrayal of Liu Bei in "New Three Kingdoms".
His portrayal of Liu Bei was dull and lacked the wit and spirit he displays today.
Wu Moubo and Zhai Tianlin's acting skills were also commendable. They controlled their facial expressions very well, especially their eye acting. Both of them are among the best in the industry when it comes to eye acting.
The actor portrayed the characters as cautious and timid with great skill.
"Okay, card!"
"Teachers, please take a break. We'll continue with the next session shortly."
Without any ceremony, the group turned around and left the film set chatting and laughing.
Xu An turned his head to look at the spot where the group had just been. Two exceptionally bright orbs of light were floating in the air, along with three slightly weaker orbs of light.
He also learned from experience that those that are exceptionally bright have better attributes, while those that are not so bright are less desirable.
However, Xu An didn't care about the attributes; he just picked it up first.

"???"
Zhai Tianlin, I work from 8 AM!
