Chapter 5 I'll give you a foot bath tonight
This was Chen Wenbo's first scene as an extra. Director Yang arranged for him to play a servant in the Lin Family Fort, standing far away from the camera, practically a background figure, probably blurred out in the shot.
I feel like it's not even as good as playing a corpse; at least you can see their face.
Tsk tsk~
Watching two men dressed as Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru fight back and forth, while the lead actor only had to pose for a few moments.
Just zoom in for a close-up, that's all. Good looks really are the best ticket to this industry; what good is fighting skills?
"Chen Wenbo, what did you do at noon?"
"I didn't do anything..."
Chen Wenbo turned around and saw that it was Liu Yifei who had come up to him. Her question had left him speechless. How was he supposed to answer?
"You weren't on set just now. I went to look for you among the extras, but I couldn't find you."
Liu Yifei persisted and even tried to lie to her.
Chen Wenbo glanced outside the stadium, as if he could see the graceful figure in the car in the parking lot. "I was just taking a casual stroll and enjoying the scenery."
"Didn't you eat lunch?"
"It's alright, I only used it briefly."
Liu Yifei covered her mouth and laughed, "Can't you speak properly?"
"You're a fairy goddess, you're in charge."
Chen Wenbo shrugged, realizing he had clearly stated the facts and had no idea what Liu Yifei wanted to talk about.
"Then let me ask you, when you helped my mom carry water this morning, did she sprain her ankle?"
Liu Yifei didn't believe her mother at all when she said that she had accidentally twisted her ankle when she went downstairs, saying it was just a minor sprain, but there was already some swelling.
It must have been a while; it's not like I haven't sprained my ankle before.
Moreover, my mother's voice sounded off when I called her earlier, so I guess she twisted her ankle in the room at that time.
Then I remembered that my mother had suddenly said she wanted to go back to the hotel to rest, and she had only sent me a text message. I really wanted to come to the surface.
"Oh, I didn't know. Did your mother sprain her ankle?"
If it were related to him, Liu Dayao would definitely have sent him a message to warn him in advance. For some reason, Chen Wenbo was acting like a movie star at this moment, completely unaware of the situation.
"Yeah, I just checked, and my foot is all swollen. It must have been sprained a while ago. I don't know why Mom lied to me and said I just sprained it."
Chen Wenbo's expression convinced Liu Yifei that he hadn't sprained his ankle while carrying water. He was just an extra, acting clumsy in the morning, while she had already filmed five movies. How could he possibly escape her keen observation?
"I guess I didn't want to distract you, since you need to focus on filming and can't afford to be distracted."
"You have a point, but why didn't she rest properly at the hotel instead of coming to the film set again?"
"This is not something an extra like me should be thinking about. I've only been on set for half a day, and I've heard many people say that your mother loves you very much. She must be worried about you."
Chen Wenbo almost rolled his eyes. If it weren't for your call, his system would have been activated by now.
"I'm even more worried because she won't tell me."
"I think all you need to know is that your mother loves you very much, why think so much?"
"Hmph, how come you've become just like those people?"
Liu Yifei got angry. She had heard this countless times and decided to ignore him.
"this……"
Chen Wenbo was baffled when he saw Liu Yifei turn and leave. He was clearly injured, so why was this little girl angry?
……
After the stuntmen finished a few scenes, the lead actors took over. The drama scenes progressed much faster. After playing a servant, Chen Wenbo changed into a guest's costume. It's uncertain whether he'll even get to show his face in these two scenes.
"Chen Wenbo, come on, I'll take you to meet a big shot."
As soon as filming wrapped, Yang Chunmei went up to the handsome young man. The boss had arrived; her chance had come.
"Ah, thank you, Director Yang."
Chen Wenbo didn't even need to guess; who else could this important figure be but Lao Cai?
Following Director Yang all the way to the parking lot, we saw Lao Cai chatting and laughing in a car, but why was it the same car that Liu Dayao was in?
"Mr. Cai, this young man is someone I brought with me this morning when I was looking for extras. I think his appearance is very suitable for acting, so I brought him to the film crew for you to take a look."
Yang Chunmei didn't care where Lao Cai sat, as long as he wasn't surrounded by people from companies like Huayi, Rongxinda, or Hairun.
As for Liu Xiaoli, she was just a nanny for her daughter and had absolutely no connection with them.
"Director Yang has a good eye. Thank you for your hard work. Chen Wenbo, shall we have a talk?"
Yang Chunmei was stunned when she heard the boss's words. It turned out that the boss knew this handsome young man. He must have already been taken advantage of. It seemed that her efforts to please him had been in vain. Without saying anything, she went to do her own thing.
"OK."
Cai Yinong got out of the car and looked around. "Come with me."
Chen Wenbo followed behind. It was broad daylight, so he figured Lao Cai wouldn't do anything too outrageous, since this was a film set, not a hotel.
"Xiao Zhang, go tell Qianqian, then take me back to the hotel. You and Qianqian can come back together tonight."
"Okay, Sister Li, I'll go right away."
After her assistant left, Liu Xiaoli took out her phone and quickly sent out a text message.
Ding.
A text message arrived. Chen Wenbo took out his phone from his pocket, opened it, and saw that it was from Liu Dayao.
"Wenbo, this woman is no simpleton. I heard she has a particular fondness for handsome men. Be careful, or you'll get taken advantage of."
Chen Wenbo laughed, as if she were different.
"Don't worry, Sister Li, I'll be waiting for your call tonight."
Liu Xiaoli blushed instantly when she saw the text message the young man replied. "That rascal!" she thought. "He only promised to make the call, but he didn't say it would be tonight." She quickly deleted the message.
"Not tonight, my foot isn't better yet."
"Sister Li, I'd like to give you a foot massage tonight."
"You're such a jerk. Not good for the next couple of days, but wait for my call."
Cai Yinong turned around and saw the handsome young man holding his phone and laughing inexplicably. Could this guy be telling his girlfriend some good news?
"Chen Wenbo, what are you laughing at?"
"It's okay, just send a message home to let them know you're safe."
Chen Wenbo put away his phone and got into a nanny van with Lao Cai.
Old Cai took out a bottle of drink and handed it to the handsome young man, first promising him something rosy:
"Chen Wenbo, I'm very satisfied with your image. You know Brother Hu, right? Our company signed him last year, and he's already the male lead in two dramas in just one year."
"The character Li Xiaoyao is very good."
Chen Wenbo wasn't interested in Lao Cai's pie-in-the-sky offer at all, and wondered why he mentioned Brother Hu but not Yuan Hong.
"I want to sign you and train you well. You are more suitable to be an idol than Brother Hu."
"Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Cai, but an actor's goal is to get a stable job within the system. Please allow me to consider it."
Chen Wenbo's words are absolutely true now. Actors at this time are all like this. Private companies are a joke, they're a complete mess. Once you get in, you can't expect to get ahead without incurring the karma of millions of lives.
Moreover, filming a TV series requires a TV station to register it, and the only buyer is the TV station, unlike movies which are completely open to the public.
But for the reborn, the system is nothing, private companies are the way to go, and who sleeps with whom is still uncertain!
