When Xu Qian arrived at the film set, he learned that he was replacing the male lead in the scene where he was composing poetry at the pavilion. The male lead, of course, was a first-rate scholar, so his handwriting had to be beautiful and his hands had to be beautiful as well.

Before starting work, Xiang Feifei looked at Xu Qian in front of her and couldn't help but click her tongue. She had been in the entertainment industry for so long and had seen all kinds of good-looking young men and women, but this guy's temperament... really had that vibe!

"Let me find you a piece of paper first, so you can try it out first, and then we'll go find the director." Although Xiang Feifei trusted her friend a lot, it was still work, and it was always better to be careful.

"Okay." Xu Qian nodded in agreement without saying anything.

"Sister Feifei, this is last week's report..." The speaker was a young girl wearing glasses. She saw Xu Qian turn around, and her face lit up instantly. "Ahhh, is this the new assistant? What's your name? I'm Xiaomai..."

"Miss Mai, please control yourself, okay?" Xiang Feifei was amused and quickly pressed the little fangirl down. "This is a hand double I found. Stop being a fangirl and go find some paper and a brush."

"Okay, okay~ I'll go get some paper~"

Xu Qian returned a smile, very reserved.

Xiang Feifei saw that smile, and her mood improved considerably. It was no joke that someone was so handsome. "Xu Qian, right? Have you considered entering the entertainment industry? It's a real shame that someone with your face isn't in the industry. I can introduce you to a company."

Xu Qian just smiled and shook his head. He was currently unregistered, so he could only do temporary jobs like body doubles; it was impossible for him to do them long-term.

Xiang Feifei wasn't surprised to see him shake his head. Meng Ziqiu had also said that he was just here for a part-time job.

Soon, Xiaomai found some white paper, a calligraphy brush, and a box of ink.

"Just write your name," Xiang Feifei said to him with a smile.

Xu Qian took the ink, dipped his finger in it, and did so with a very casual and practiced air, looking like a seasoned pro.

Xu Qian

Xiang Feifei picked up the still-dry paper with satisfaction, turned to him and said, "Okay. You've passed. Go find Director Chen!"

Based on the calligraphy, the imposing presence, and most importantly, the reasonable price, Director Chen agreed almost instantly, immediately calling for a costume change, "Get the reshoots done right away—"

Since there was no need to film his face, Xu Qian simply changed into the male lead's clothes, and the wig was just casually attached, with his bangs swept forward.

"She's not wearing makeup!"

"My goodness, where did Sister Feifei find this handsome young man?!"

"I absolutely love these hands!"

This scene is a very important turning point for the male protagonist as he travels to the capital. On the one hand, he has boundless ambition for his future, and on the other hand, he is deeply reluctant to leave his hometown and relatives. Therefore, the requirements for the shot are also higher. The words must be strong and powerful, and preferably have a natural 'stubbornness'.

Although Xu Qian didn't quite understand what the director meant by 'stubbornness,' he felt that he was just a hand double and that he would just write his own words and that would be enough.

"Okay, cut—"

Xu Qian knew his thousand yuan was in his hands as soon as he heard the word "cut," and he couldn't have been more relaxed!

"Next shot—"

Xiang Feifei stepped forward with a smile, "There are only two more matches left."

“…Okay.” Xu Qian was taken aback; it wasn’t a single match after all.

The second scene is indoors, featuring the male protagonist, who has recently arrived in the capital, writing a letter to his adoptive father back home to let him know he is safe and sound.

Director Chen: "'Yuanheng' continues writing, 'Ziyan' prepares to go up, 3-2-1—"

"Yuanheng, something's happened! Something's happened—"

"What's the commotion?" Xu Qian uttered his only line.

"Okay, cut—"

The third scene takes place at the banquet, where the camera focuses on a close-up of the male protagonist's hesitation.

"Stop for a moment, okay, keep writing—"

It was over. Xu Qian subconsciously wanted to check the time, but realized he didn't have a watch with him. So he asked the staff member next to him, "Excuse me, what time is it?"

It's 11:30 now.

"Thank you." Xu Qian was about to get up to change his clothes when Xiang Feifei walked towards him.

"Well done! Handsome, I'll call you if there are any part-time jobs like this in the future."

"Thank you, Miss Xiang." Xu Qian wished he could have more part-time jobs like this; every little bit helps.

The address "Miss Xiang" made Xiang Feifei even happier, and she asked again, "By the way, do you have anything else?"

Xu Qian looked around. The most sought-after stunt doubles in the crew were naturally the martial arts stunt doubles, so he said, "I have studied martial arts and I am also good at horseback riding."

Director Chen, with his sharp ears, caught the word 'equestrianism'. "...You can ride a horse?"

"Yes." Xu Qian nodded immediately. I can ride a horse, okay? And I can even use a gun on horseback!

"Alright, then you do it!" Director Chen picked up the megaphone again, "Fill in the Marseille footage from race 78!"
