Chapter 41 Chapter 41
It turns out that it is not easy for humans to find jobs, but it is definitely not difficult to find jobs for animals.
Shortly after Ning Su posted the advertisement, he received an inquiry from the other party who wanted to find a dog actor.
"Just be gentle and obedient, no need to be pretty."
The person who contacted him was a Weibo account. After adding him on WeChat, I found that the other party’s avatar was a cartoon character. When I opened the Moments, most of the content was related to the school.
I see. They are college students with a tight budget and can't afford to pay for actors.
But since he was helping Xiao Yao find a job, Ning Su didn't intend to be picky. After adding WeChat, he quickly started to match the needs.
The other party seemed to have not expected Ning Su to be so efficient. He quickly determined the time, place, and salary of the animal actors.
"Just one afternoon, two hundred dollars, how about that?" When talking about the money, the other party became a little cautious.
Whether this price is high or low depends entirely on what Ning Su thinks.
"Three hundred." Ning Su raised the price.
Based on his understanding of the crew, it is rare to start work in the afternoon. In reality, it will most likely be delayed until the evening.
It is said to be half a day, but in fact the whole day is spent on the crew.
"...Okay." The man hesitated for a moment and accepted the price, but couldn't help but said worriedly, "Then please bring someone who is docile and smart."
There are many animal scenes in the movies they shoot, and they need some of the animal's spirituality. It costs a lot to find animal actors who meet these requirements, but they don't have that much money.
This is also the reason why they saw Ning Su’s advertisement and rushed to contact us as soon as possible.
What if?
Anyway, the crew was going crazy and making changes to the show because things had not been going smoothly. Compared to that, believing in an online ad and contacting Ning Su was nothing.
However, even after discussing the price, the other party seemed a little hesitant. At the end of the conversation, he asked tentatively: "Are you really Ning Su?"
"Is that Ning Su, the one who dances with a sword under the moon and is known as the 'great hero'?"
Ning Su: “…”
Sorry, he is not.
I only got one reliable job that night, so my efficiency was not very high.
But Ning Su was not going to be in a hurry. All things are difficult at the beginning. He had to complete the first task smoothly first to lay a good template for the next step before he could do the next step.
However, although they accepted the job, problems arose when selecting the actors among themselves - compared to other monsters, there were quite a few dog monsters. There were four dog monsters in the fighting group today alone.
"You two can discuss it among yourselves." After explaining the general situation of the work, Ning Su gave up. He was too lazy to interfere in Xiaoyao's internal affairs.
"Let me go." After a brief discussion, a yellow Chinese native dog broke through the encirclement.
It calls itself Dahuang and is a friend of the ginseng spirit.
——Yes, the little demons also rank according to seniority on weekdays. For example, today, since Ning Su and the ginseng spirit have an old relationship, the little demon on the other side was eliminated in the first round.
The only ones left are these two dog monsters who were former subordinates of the ginseng spirit.
Later, rhubarb won because it looked better.
The big demon didn't punish them, and even helped them find jobs. They couldn't be ungrateful - although they might not be looking forward to the job, they still had to have a proper attitude.
"Okay." Ning Su took a look at the golden retriever who was defeated by Dahuang, and felt a little curious about the aesthetic sense of the dog demon.
Is it true that the Chinese native dog is so good at fighting?
After finding the demon and contacting the construction site, the next day, Ning Su reported to Director Tan and planned to take Da Huang to work on the crew.
“…You really found a job for them?”
In just one day, Ning Su was full of motivation. Director Tan was amazed by his initiative towards the younger generation.
"Okay, go ahead." He agreed promptly.
Precisely because solving the employment problem of the little demons was a task assigned by the director himself, Ning Su's trip this time was a legitimate business trip, not a leave.
The editors were envious again.
If they were not worried that their intentions were too obvious, they would even ask Ning Su to help them find a part-time job.
Even if you just play the role of a cat or a dog, it's not more comfortable than sitting in an office.
Of course, Ning Su's job was not comfortable. After meeting up with Da Huang, he put on a mask and sunglasses, took Da Huang, and rode an electric bike towards the crew.
Along the way, he attracted countless curious glances.
Speaking of which, Dahuang hasn't had as many people turning around as he did today since he was born with intelligence, and he was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
"Can't you be more low-key?"
Ning Su said coldly and ruthlessly: "No, I don't have money."
There is no money for the business trip and taxis are too expensive, so this is the only way to round up.
"...Okay, okay." Dahuang felt his dog hair being blown up by the wind and didn't dare to say anything.
The crew started gathering and preparing at 1 p.m., and when Ning Su arrived, it was exactly 12:50. However, when he reported, he found that something had gone wrong.
"Sorry, we seem to have found other animal actors." The receptionist was a little hesitant.
Ning Su raised his eyebrows.
Sure enough, after a while, a young boy came, and after a while, there seemed to be a quarrel inside.
"Oh no, Dahuang, your job is going to be taken away." Ning Su said jokingly.
Although it is hard to find a job, even a temporary job paying only 300 yuan can be snatched up. It can only be said that the current economy is indeed in recession.
Dahuang let out a howl.
——This is the agreement between it and Ning Su. After seeing humans, it is not allowed to speak again.
After a while, the crew had discussed it internally. The young boy who contacted Ning Su looked quite nervous, but still said no.
"I'm sorry, it's my communication problem. I'm sorry you made such a wasted trip today. I'll give you the money as compensation."
There were many problems within the crew, and there were many situations like this where something went wrong and two dogs had to be contacted at the same time. Ning Su didn't intend to delve into it, but the other party was willing to pay, so Ning Su naturally wouldn't mind.
"fine."
"Let's go, Da Huang."
It was not until this time that the young boy really saw what Dahuang looked like - although it was a local dog, it had shiny fur and looked energetic.
The young boy felt a little regretful when he thought about rejecting such a dog.
"Let's work together again if there's a chance!" the young boy said to save his dignity.
Ning Su waved his hand, and after crossing the street, he blocked the other party's contact information.
Although I didn't find a formal job after this trip, I made some money. To some extent, I have accomplished my mission.
When Da Huang heard that Ning Su gave him all the 300 yuan, he was surprised and stammered, "Is this okay?"
I came out and did nothing but got three hundred dollars for nothing. How could such a good thing happen in the world?
While Dahuang was happy, Ning Su took the opportunity to ask him about the situation of selling fake medicine to the weasel spirit.
"That weasel is a stingy guy. He only pays me 80 yuan a day. I work so hard and only make 2,400 yuan a month."
Not to mention social security, wages and benefits.
After saying this, Da Huang felt something was wrong. He closed his mouth tightly until he realized what was happening. After a while, he asked in surprise, "How do you know I've done this with the weasel?"
Ning Su said calmly: "I guessed."
In fact, ever since the ginseng spirit secretly interceded for the weasel, he knew that many little demons had participated in the weasel's business, especially the ginseng spirit's former subordinates.
For a ginseng spirit like Dahuang, it is impossible that he would not have this kind of "good thing" to happen to him.
"I was young and frivolous at that time." Dahuang knew the attitude of the Demon Bureau towards the weasel selling fake medicine, but it was not sure about Ning Su's attitude, so it took the opportunity to explain itself.
Of course, the real reason is not just because of youth. Money can tempt people at any time.
"So how much money did the weasel pay you for causing trouble in Green Shade Park this time?"
"?"
"!!!" This time, Da Huang was completely afraid to speak.
If it said anything more, it would have to hand over the weasel spirit - of course, it was true that they were fighting for the position of leader of the little demons in City A, but there were indeed some special reasons for causing this incident.
"Those weaving monsters are too idle. Let's find something for them to do."
It admitted that the stoats did send some money for this reason, which could be considered a "subsidy" to them.
"Okay." Ning Su let Da Huang go without asking any more questions.
Although they lost one job that day, Ning Su quickly found a second job with his ability to collect information.
This is also the job of an animal actor.
Since City A already has the largest film and television city in the country, and it is not far from the current location, Ning Su and Da Huang quickly moved there.
"I'm playing a guide dog. I need to help an old lady to the side of the road. Can you do it?"
The crew was able to find Ning Su, but it was obvious that they were stood up - their crew had originally found a popular internet dog, but when the time came they were told that the dog was not feeling well and could not come.
The filming must give priority to the dog actor's physical condition. This is a clause written in the contract. Even if the crew is unhappy, there is nothing they can do.
Therefore, finding Ning Su and Da Huang was just a "try". If it doesn't work, they will shoot again tomorrow.
However, Dahuang brought many surprises.
In front of the camera, the old lady was walking slowly, and the guide dog played by Da Huang was leading the way carefully. When the dog got into trouble, he would look back at the old lady, with a hint of worry in his movements.
In front of the monitor, the director rubbed his eyes, somewhat unbelievable——
He seemed to actually see the acting from a dog's eyes?
Dahuang does have some ideas about acting. He has watched a lot of human TV dramas and knows what it feels like to be filmed by the camera.
Anyway, no matter what you do in private, when you are in front of the camera, you just need to behave in a way that is consistent with this "dog character".
Therefore, in the second act a while later, when the director required Dahuang to scold the other stray dogs and rescue the old lady, Dahuang went right in.
In front of the camera, the stray dogs were really frightened by Dahuang. They listened to Dahuang's howling for a while, and then ran away with their tails between their legs.
Not to mention the director, even the actress who acted opposite Da Huang was stunned.
“Is this dog an acting genius?”
The actress can already imagine that when this drama is broadcast, the sharp-tongued fans will cut out some clips of Da Huang's performance and use them to laugh at the vicious scenes of some young actors.
——Your acting skills are worse than a dog’s!
This time, I am really worse than a dog.
After being praised by the director and fellow actors, Da Huang was in even better shape and added another scene. Seeing the entire crew praising Da Huang to the sky, only Ning Su fell silent.
Is it okay to curse at innocent stray dogs just for the sake of filming a movie?
The crew didn't understand animal language, they just saw Dahuang barking at the puppies. Ning Su happened to be able to understand it, so he knew what Dahuang was scolding.
Not surprisingly, it was all very dirty swear words.
Similar to reasons such as appearance attack and dog body attack, the reason why these stray puppies ran away was not because they were scared by Dahuang's appearance, but purely because Dahuang's mouth was too poisonous and the puppies were so angry that they ran away.
Ning Su was speechless when he saw that the humans in the crew were conquered by Dahuang and were praising Dahuang for his intelligence and understanding in different ways.
Humans are so easily deceived.
Since Dahuang had to shoot more scenes than expected, the crew gave him a total salary of 1,000 yuan. Although the shooting time was not small, the hourly wage was much higher than his previous job.
“Is it true that there is so much money?”
After a whole day, he had earned half a month's salary. Dahuang was not only happy, he was stunned when he received the money.
Not to mention that it was a job that required working really hard for only a tiny amount of money in a month. This job itself is not difficult.
Isn't it time to perform in front of the camera?
Performing is their talent as little demons.
After making money, Dahuang is no different from humans. The first thing he wants to do is spend it.
However, as a small demon, it has no account or online banking, and cannot shop online.
Considering that Ning Su, the great demon, has a good personality and really wants to help solve life problems, Dahuang Qiqi Aiai wants to ask Ning Su for help.
"Tell me what to buy." Ning Su opened his shopping app neatly.
Dahuang reported several brands and models of dog food and canned food. After adding them to the shopping cart, Ning Su handed Dahuang the details and total amount on the screen.
“…This isn’t right.”
Unexpectedly, the process that seemed quite smooth to Ning Su became a completely different matter in Da Huang's eyes.
At this moment, it seemed as if it had been hit, it looked dazed and unable to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"Why are these things so cheap from you?" Dahuang murmured.
"How much does it cost to buy it from the weasel?" Ning Su asked calmly.
"Each one costs dozens of dollars more." After saying this, Dahuang couldn't help but widen his eyes again.
It’s bad, and his relationship with the weasel has been exposed.
But how come this damn monster is so good at tricking people?
At this point, Dahuang felt that there was nothing left to hide. Besides, he had fallen into Ning Su's trap and earned the money from Ning Su's help in finding a job, so he was already half a member of Ning Su's party.
From Dahuang, Ning Su learned about the world of another group of little monsters.
Unlike capable monsters like the Ginseng Spirit and Cuifeng, some little monsters face several inconveniences in their lives due to their lack of an identity that allows them to survive in human society.
Unless a monster is determined to live in the deep mountains and forests and be self-sufficient, any monster that tries to make a living in the city will face a series of troubles.
To this day, more than half of the monsters still cannot use the Internet or shop online. If they want something, they have to buy it from monsters they are familiar with.
Let the unscrupulous businessmen make the difference.
The weasel demon is the best among them. On the one hand, it recruits workers at low prices and absorbs the little demons to work in its fake medicine factory. On the other hand, it does business and sells some necessities needed by the little demons at high prices.
With these two methods working together, these little demons naturally cannot do without it in order to survive.
Even if it sells fake medicine and makes a lot of money, the other little demons dare not make trouble for it.
There is no other reason, it’s all because many little monsters need it, and over time, it has become a chronic disease.
"Brother Ning, you won't be angry, right?"
Da Huang didn't understand why Ning Su was so angry when it was clearly him who was deceived by the weasel spirit. Shouldn't he be the one who should be angry?
"It's okay." Ning Su didn't say anything.
In fact, Ning Su was not angry with others at this moment. If he had to say something, it was probably because he was feeling uncomfortable.
After joining the Monster Bureau, he seemed to have done a lot of promising things, but when it came down to it, the changes he brought about were probably nothing at all.
"Brother, this is for you." Seeing that Ning Su was in a bad mood, Da Huang was very obedient. On the way home, he bought some fruits for Ning Su.
"Is this your dog? How come it's so smart?" The fruit vendors were all amazed.
He even buys things for his master!
On this day, Ning Su returned home with two pounds of apples, a "gift" from Xiao Yao, and his mood was quite complicated.
With the good start from Dahuang, Ning Su took on several more jobs in the following days.
Cats, dogs and even turtles have jobs.
However, compared with the stable recruitment of workers by the weasel demon, the few jobs that Ning Su could help find were really nothing.
Is he going to open a factory too?
After a moment's silence, Ning Su temporarily cleared this plan from his mind.
Ning Su tried his best to help the little demon find a job, and the little demons in City A heard about it, so naturally the news also reached the ears of the weasel demon.
"I have nothing to do, let's see how long it can last."
When this news reached the ears of the weasel demon, the weasel and the demon beside him were soaking in a top-quality hot spring pool in the suburbs of City A.
The beautiful little demon is giving it a massage.
"Yes, how many little demons can it solve with its work? Unlike the king, no matter where he goes, he is loved by the demons."
In the world of monsters, only the big monsters who ruled a region in ancient times could be called the king. The weasel was flattered as the king by other monsters. Although he did not show it on his face, he was quite happy in his heart.
"Let it suffer, let it experience the cruelty of reality."
The Demon Bureau has existed for so many years, but it has not been able to completely replace the business of the weasel spirit. What can a mere Ning Su compare to?
Besides, this big monster is ignorant. Not only will it not make much money by working like this, but people will probably cause trouble for it.
Ning Su didn't know that his every move was being watched by the weasel spirit. In fact, his work had been a bit unsatisfactory recently.
During this period, with the broadcast of the short drama filmed by Dahuang, the number of crews contacting him increased sharply, but it did not last long before new problems arose.
He was boycotted by the animal actor industry.
"If this is not disrupting the market, then what is disrupting the market?"
They obviously made a living by providing animal actors for the crew. They spent a lot of money and finally trained the animals to be able to appear on camera, but then Ning Su came with the animals and took away all the work.
God knows how Ning Su taught the animals to cry in the wind in front of the camera!
Even the animals provided by Ning Su can be used to film house fights.
Or just let them become spirits and steal humans’ jobs - what’s the big deal about bullying small animals?
Since there were not many film crews in winter, and they were jointly boycotted by the industry, no one knew where these people got their connections from. They failed to boycott on their own and even attracted the relevant official departments.
Since Ning Su was an insider, the relevant departments could not intervene, so they had to contact the Monster Bureau: "I know you are busy with important matters, but can you pay attention to the social impact?"
I heard that Ning Su had been complained about several times without anyone knowing.
As Ning Su was in the spotlight, the leaders of the Demon Bureau had no choice but to let him keep a low profile for a while.
"Let's do it next spring?"
By that time, when there are more crews, it won’t be so conspicuous if they take other people’s work.
Ning Su had no choice but to agree.
But since he was at work, Ning Su didn't want to be idle. After asking Director Lu for permission, he cleared out the unused house outside the yard of the Monster Bureau, applied for a few computers and shelves, and sat down to prepare for work.
Solving the problems of the little demons and helping them find jobs can be considered "increasing income", and allowing the little demons to buy things at cheap and convenient prices can also be considered "saving money".
According to his current idea of trial operation, computers and accounts can be provided to Xiaoyao, allowing them to shop online by themselves.
The shelves are places provided for the little demons to receive express deliveries.
As for why the house is so simple, it is naturally because the bureau cannot provide much funding.
"Anyway, let's give it a try first."
When I said this, other colleagues were not very optimistic about it.
But Ning Su didn't care. He not only cleaned up the house, but also hired a little demon to help look after the store.
After everything was packed up, Xiao Yao asked Ning Su what the store was called, and he took the time to think about it -
"Let's call it 'Vegetable Demon Station'."
Copying down the names of human beings is his most sincere blessing to this simple station.
On this side, Ning Su had already changed track because other ideas had popped up in his mind.
On the other hand, the young boy who had released Ning Su and Dahuang Pigeon fell into depression.
Not long ago, their graduation drama was filmed, but just before graduation, the work was given low scores by the teachers of the college without hesitation.
The reason for this is that, apart from the poor quality of the script itself, the actors' terrible acting is also the main reason.
Of course, in the minds of boys, the most important reason is that the dog actor was not chosen well——
At that time, he failed to win the argument with another classmate, so he compromised and used the other classmate's dog. As a result, the filming process was delayed and the actors' performance was affected.
Later, this idea reached its peak when I saw Dahuang's real performance.
This knot in my heart has continued to this day and has not been completely resolved.
Therefore, when he went home for the New Year and heard that his uncle, a director, was trying to make a movie about animals, he recommended Ning Su and Da Huang to his uncle without hesitation.
"Yonghe, you take a look too."
After hearing this, the boy noticed the other person who came late and showed a look of surprise.
“Uncle Zhang!”
When I was a child, boys often pestered this Uncle Zhang to play with them. It was said that his family was Taoist and his ancestor was the famous Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling.
Zhang Ronghe took the phone as he was told, watched the video, and couldn't help taking off his glasses and rubbing his eyes.
There are so many monsters.
It hurt his eyes.
