Wilderness Livestream: Other People Struggle to Survive While I Became Famous by Looking After a Cat

Chapter 100: An Extra

Translator: Zavn_

Two to three days had passed. All the scenes without the male lead were almost finished. There was still no news from the actors that Xu Mingrui had contacted.

They didn’t care about what the outside world said.

If the male lead was still not confirmed, the crew would be in disarray.

After Song Qingyou finished filming a scene in the morning, she dragged Xu Mingrui outside to talk.

Even without her asking, Xu Mingrui knew what to say.

“Sis, you want to ask about the male lead, right? I contacted a few famous actors at the beginning, but they all declined, saying that they had scenes to shoot and were too busy. I guess they didn’t like our production team.” “Those who contacted me later should be worried about offending people.” “Offend whom?” Song Qingyou asked. “Qiu Yu?”

“How can Qiu Yu be so capable?” Xu Mingrui shook his head and said, “The director of ‘Time’ has spoken.”

The director of Time had made a name for himself by shooting television dramas. He had shot two movies that did well at the box office in his early years, so he had a lot of say in the film industry.

Celebrities with higher status definitely did not have to care about him. The problem was that Xu Mingrui had only found slightly famous actors. How could these people be willing to offend a famous director for a role? Song Qingyou pondered for a moment before asking a completely unrelated question, “How s his TV series and movie?”

“Very ordinary.” Xu Mingrui looked disgusted. “He likes to use popular celebrities to film. He’s very good at sensationalizing. Those celebrities’ fans fall for this… This time, he probably wants to gild himself by filming a tribute drama.”

Song Qingyou nodded slightly. Just as she was about to speak, her gaze suddenly stopped and fell on a few extras under the shade of a tree not far away.

To be precise, she was looking at Xu Xingzhou who was leaning against a tree trunk.

Xu Mingrui glanced over. “There’s a new production team on the other side.

They seem to be shooting a low-budget ancient puppet drama. The extras over there should be looking for a role to shoot.”

There were many extras in the film studio. Most of them were like part-timers, looking for film crews everywhere to take on any available roles.

Song Qingyou didn’t say anything, only looking at the bearded man who came out.

The bearded man was holding a loudspeaker in his hand.

“We only need normal extras here. As long as your figure is up to standard, it’s fine. 100 a day, lunch and dinner are available! Come and register your names!” He called for a hundred people to respond, and the extras who were sitting and standing outside walked over.

Xu Xingzhou was the fastest.

However, when Big Beardy saw him, his expression turned ugly.

“Why is it you again? This production team doesn’t welcome you. Hurry up and leave!”

“You’re just an extra and you’re still so arrogant. You go around saying that other people’s acting skills are bad. Who would dare to hire you! I’m afraid this film studio won’t be able to accommodate you anymore!”

Before Xu Xingzhou could say anything, he was pushed aside by the people behind him.

There were even people discussing who Xu Xingzhou was.

Xu Mingrui was far away, so he couldn’t hear what those people were saying. He didn’t know what Song Qingyou was looking at and couldn’t help bur ask,

“Sis, what are you looking at? Is the extra over there very good?”

“What do you think of him?” Song Qingyou pointed at Xu Xingzhou, who was excluded from the crowd.

“Ah?” Xu Mingrui was surprised for a moment before carefully sizing up Xu Xingzhou.

“The appearance is not bad…But he’s just an extra. Sis, don’t tell me you want him to play the male lead…”

Before Xu Mingrui could finish his sentence, he turned around and realized that Song Qingyou had disappeared.

A few seconds later, he realized that she had actually gone straight for the extra.

As soon as Song Qingyou approached, Xu Xingzhou raised his head.

“Are you taking the role?” Song Qingyou asked directly.

“I’ll take it!” Xu Xing Zhou nodded without hesitation.

“I haven’t even said what role it is, and you’re already taking it?”

“I can play any role, even a female one.”

Song Qingyou chuckled. “Forget about the female role. 1 want you to play the male lead.”

Her words stunned Xu Xingzhou.

“Are you kidding me?” he asked, his eyes red.

“Why would I joke with you?”

After Song Qingyou finished speaking, Xu Mingrui rushed over.

“But you have to pass the audition first. Director Xu, what do you think?” Xu Mingrui rubbed his nose. “Hiring an extra to be the male lead? Sis, are you really not making fun of me?”

“Xu Xingzhou’s acting skills are very good.”

“You know each other?”

“He’s my classmate in the acting training class.”

Song Qingyou gave Xu Xingzhou a look. “Xu Xingzhou, you’ll play the role of a princess for your audition!”

The three of them found a quiet corner.

Xu Xingzhou did not even need to prepare his emotions, and his lines came our of his mouth. contemporary romance

When Xu Mingrui heard his female voice and looked at his expression and actions, he was completely stunned.

This time, Song Qingyou didn’t need to say anything more. Xu Mingrui took the initiative to bring Xu Xingzhou into the crew and even specially asked him to act out a scene according to the script.

“Who’s this?” Zhen Wenwen asked Song Qingyou in a low voice. “Why haven’t I seen him before?”

“He’s an extra and our new male lead.”

“An extra?” Zhen Wenwen’s eyes widened.

However, after Xu Xingzhou started his performance, she was no longer as surprised.

“Someone you know?” Yu Muhuai was puzzled.

Song Qingyou nodded.

Xu Xingzhou’s arrival caused a heated discussion among the production team. Some of the extras who knew him thought that he was lucky. After being rejected by so many production teams, he actually managed to evolve from an extra to a lead actor!

When Xu Xingzhou finished his makeup, no matter how jealous some people were, they had to admit that Xu Xingzhou’s appearance was a few levels better than Zhou Jin’s.

Xu Mingrui walked around him a few times. “Yes, the male protagonist’s appearance is not very likable. If he is nor good-looking enough, then he will only be scolded!”

After saying that, he clapped his hands. “Everyone, hurry up. We have to redo all the scenes we shot previously!”

After hearing Song Qingyou say that Xu Xingzhou had a photographic memory, Xu Mingrui was even more satisfied and couldn’t wait to reshoot.

That afternoon, The Immortal Demon’s official Weibo account announced rhe new male lead’s makeup photo.

Just by looking at the face, everyone who paid attention to this drama was very satisfied.

But when they opened the actors’ encyclopedia and searched for Xu Xingzhou, they couldn’t find anything except the records of people with the same name.

After asking around, everyone found out that this Xu Xingzhou was actually just an extra!

Moreover, according to the news in the industry, even though Xu Xingzhou was just an extra, he had been chased out by several production teams!

According to ordinary people’s thoughts, if he was chased out, wouldn’t he be unqualified to even be an extra?

Oh my! Could it be that the crew of The Immortal Demon’ had taken a fancy to his face?

Looking around, the number of people in the comment section who supported the production team’s decision could be counted on one hand. The rest were just watching the show and complaining.

I The already lousy production team is adding insult to injury.]

I Although this Xu Xingzhou looks much better than Zhou Jin, the problem is that he’s just an extra. 1

[ 1 just want to ask, who gave Xu Mingrui and Song Qingyou rhe courage? I

[ Do Jiang Xuyan and Yu Muhuai regret working with Song Qingyou?]

I This drama can’t be a lump of **** from the inside out, right?]

Zhou Jin even posted a photo of himself filming on Weibo, saying:

I 1 knew it. A certain female star has the final say in a certain production team. Do you understand what 1 mean?]

Zhou Jin openly added insult to injury.

However, he had forgotten that his matter had not passed yet.

The netizens did not buy it and copied the hot comments one after another. [Understood, you are far worse than @Xu Xingzhou! ] [Understood, you are far worse than @ Xu Xingzhou! I [Understood, you are far worse than @ Xu Xingzhou! ]

Zhou Jin was so angry that he deleted this Weibo post.

It was a pity that some netizens had taken screenshots of it, and he was destined to become a joke..
