Chapter 329: Being an extra



Because of the new 50 million invested by Chu Yan, the entire production team was able to upgrade their equipment and became much richer. After resuming filming, they directly rebuilt the entire Taoyuan Village scenery!

This paradise village is connected to the guests' original cottages, and real villagers from nearby are invited to act as extras, directly expanding it into a real small village.

The villagers of Taoyuan don't need to do anything. Everyone wears antique cotton and linen clothes and maintains their original life. The village is filled with curling smoke and the sounds of chickens and dogs. It is a quiet, beautiful and warm scene full of the smell of fireworks!

Thanks to this, Taoyuan Village has no shortage of houses.

As long as Chu Yan and Yu Jiming, grandfather and grandson, don't mind the simple environment, they can stay here as long as they want.

Jian Lin suddenly had an idea and simply cleared out a house near Wen Chi Suisui's house. He also handed the grandfather and grandson two sets of clothes worn by the villagers. They were also made of simple and rustic cotton and linen materials. It was hard to imagine what they would look like when worn by the grandfather and grandson.

Jian Lin had a white face but a black heart, and he smiled and invited them to join the extras. In this way, even if they had face-to-face contact with Wen Chi Suisui, talked to him, helped him, etc., it would be normal in the eyes of the audience, who would just regard it as an NPC plot interaction arranged by the program team.

Chu Yan, who was originally hesitant, was now unable to say no.

Yu Jiming, the old naughty boy, shouted excitedly:

"Isn't that just filming? It's really interesting!"

There's no intention of resisting at all!

Jian Lin smiled concealedly and retreated at the right time.

Before she had even walked far, a young and inexperienced subordinate beside her asked:

"Director Jian, do you want to pay these two extras?"

We invited the villagers nearby to act as extras, and paid them by the day. Otherwise, why would they drop their farm work and come to act as extras?

Jian Lin retorted on the spot: "How could our dignified financial sponsor care about such a small amount of money!"

A series of righteous words directly blocked Chu Yan's words in his throat.

……never mind.

Chu Yan thought of what Jian Lin said, that he could talk and interact with Sui Sui Wen Chi even during filming without worrying about the camera.

Of course, the prerequisite is to maintain the character of your own villager NPC.

So the last bit of doubt was dispelled, and I had to go back to the house with my grandfather and change into new clothes together.

Not to mention, the genetic genes of this grandfather and grandson, as well as the entire Wen family, are very superior, and each of them has an outstanding appearance.

Even though Chu Yan changed into a coarse linen shirt, he still couldn't hide his noble temperament, and he exuded a natural and unpretentious feeling.

Yu Jiming is even more elegant, like a scholar living in seclusion in the mountains. When he occasionally puts on airs and doesn't act like a naughty boy, he is really intimidating!

Jian Lin left for a while and turned back. When he saw the appearance of the two big bosses with his own eyes, his eyes lit up and he was extremely satisfied!

"You two, those who are capable should do more work! Would you like to take on another small task?"

Yu Jiming was very curious and asked what the mission was.

But Chu Yan, who just wanted to keep a low profile, was about to refuse before she even opened her mouth.

"No……"

Jian Lin couldn't wait to say, "The village school is short of two teacher roles. We couldn't find any extras who fit the bill, so we were planning to ask the assistant director to fill in the gaps! Now that you two are here, he won't be needed anymore! Oh, right! This character will interact with the other guests... you know, like, teaching! Sui Sui is in it too!"

Chu Yan, who had been waiting for Jian Lin to finish speaking out of politeness, swallowed his refusal when he heard the last name and suddenly changed the subject -

"No...you can't."

Double negative equals positive! It’s a sure thing!

Yu Jiming even patted his chest and promised:

"This is my forte! I'm a teacher!"

Jian Lin's eyes lit up, and she was about to ask a few more questions when someone came and called her away.

Yu Jiming was smiling and looked very happy. He kept looking at his clothes and muttering Tao Yuanming.

Chu Yan shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless about his grandfather's reaction. It seemed that the old man had completely forgotten the original intention of visiting the set, and was unable to extricate himself from the experience of the extras' life.

Never mind, as long as he is happy.

Not long after.

The grandfather and grandson received a notice from the staff that the filming was about to begin and asked them to get ready to "take their positions."

Chu Yan originally wanted to go and say hello to Sui Sui Wen Chi, but they still didn't know about this.

The staff stopped him and smiled slyly:

"Just treat it as a surprise for them!"

Chu Yan suddenly had an idea and really gave up his original plan. He followed the staff silently.

Soon they arrived at the planned school location in the village. According to the screenwriter's setting, this was also the intersection of the second round of tasks for all the guests.

In other words, any guest who wants to complete the second round of tasks and get the hint for the third round of tasks must pass the test of the academy.

The school originally had only one teacher, who served as both principal and teacher.

Now that we have Chu Yan and Yu Jiming, the grandfather and grandson, we can simply separate the two roles——

Yu Jiming was the teacher and Chu Yan was the assistant teacher.

The scripts for them to give advice and interact with the guests were distributed to the two of them respectively.

Yu Jiming took a quick read and immediately spotted the following problems:

"Is the knowledge point in the test question wrong?"

The staff member took it and flipped through it for a long time without understanding:

"I'll ask the screenwriter!"

The script states that the guests are required to become students in the teacher's classroom, and only after studying and getting a passing score on the test can they be considered to have passed.

These test questions are not simple and are based on the ancient imperial examinations.

Of course, it is impossible to let the guests study for only one or two days and then take such an exaggerated test on policy essays. The test is on the relatively easy part of copying the scriptures and meaning the meaning, which is the so-called recitation and dictation.

The difficulty of this ancient version of recitation and dictation lies in the fact that the content of the test is not "Ploughing the Fields at Noon" and other sentences that every elementary school student can recite, but the original sentences from the Four Books and Five Classics, and the relatively obscure parts.

Nowadays, there are very few young people who can read the Four Books and Five Classics.

However, Yu Jiming saw the mistake after just a quick glance.

The staff felt the oncoming wind of the boss and did not dare to delay, so they ran to ask the screenwriter for advice.

I didn't expect that even the screenwriter had only a superficial understanding of the story, and much of the content was directly copied from the Internet.

After checking, I found out...there was indeed an oversight in their information!

When I returned with the revised script, the staff were filled with admiration:

"Old man, you are so cultured!"

Yu Jiming smiled and waved his hands:

“These are my jobs!”

The staff was curious:

"Oh? Are you a Chinese teacher?"

Yu Jiming was about to shake his head to explain.

Someone came to remind us that the filming was about to start and all the guests were on their way.
