Chapter 180: Making Money (Two-in-One) “Madam, Mr. asked you to stop making trouble…
In the afternoon, Tian Ruan continued to act as an NPC, sitting on a stone bench under a tree with bare legs and eating ice cream.
Wang Weiqi followed them and ate and drank for free, and became sworn brothers with Tian Ruan Guzhen on the spot, calling Tian Ruan "big brother".
Tian Ruan: "Brother Wang, who is the other brother of the Three Brothers?"
Wang Weiqi pointed at his broom and said, "Let's call it Sweeper Brother."
"666."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The teacher mentioned to everyone in the "Summer Camp for Senior High School Students" group: gather in front of the Zhendong Museum at 5pm. Those who need leave should write a note.
[Mini Program-Leave Request]
Tian Ruan clicked into the mini program, wrote his name, group, place of leave, and reason for leave.
Wang Weiqi glanced and said, "Do you want to ask for leave?"
Tian Ruan tilted the phone screen towards him, "Yeah, something's up."
"What's going on? Going clubbing?"
"Go to the trampoline."
"How about trampoline? Let's go together?"
"No." The bed that Tian Ruan wanted to jump on could not be shown to others.
Wang Weiqi: "Brother, I asked you to play every day, but you didn't come. Now you go to play and don't take me with you. Do you think I am your brother?"
Tian Ruan could only say tactfully: "I had lunch with Mr. Yu at noon."
"Mr. Yu? Which Mr. Yu?" Wang Weiqi took a long time to react, "Ah? Your husband is here?"
"Um."
"..." Wang Weiqi's eyes twitched, revealing a hint of envy and hatred, "It's good to get married early. There will be someone who cares about you wherever you go."
"Your parents must be worried about you too."
"That's different."
"It's different." Tian Ruan happily scooped a spoonful of blueberry-flavored Haagen-Dazs, "I think Mr. Yu loves me more than my parents do."
Wang Weiqi: "... Damn, even though I'm a single dog, I don't want to eat dog food."
After Tian Ruan finished eating the ice cream, he suddenly found that new tourists were flocking to one place. They laughed excitedly and shouted, "Is it really Yan xx?" "They said they came here to shoot a martial arts drama." "Ahhh..."
Wang Weiqi is showing off his primitive strength in front of tourists - imitating the howl of a wolf. The girl who was taking a photo of him just now disappeared in an instant.
Tian Ruan understood: "This is the star effect."
Wang Weiqi was angry: "Celebrities and I have an irreconcilable relationship!"
Tian Ruan unhurriedly threw the ice cream cup into the trash can, opened the parasol and said, "Brother Wang, I'll take you to meet this big star."
Wang Weiqi, wearing a straw skirt and holding a broom in one hand and an oil-paper umbrella in the other, went to attack Yan xx who was stealing his limelight with great vigor and high spirits.
As a result, the street was completely blocked, and only the area cleared by the crew was relatively quiet. Wang Weiqi couldn't squeeze in and was scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.
Tian Ruan suddenly had an idea and said, "Everyone, please make way. We are just extras."
When the tourists saw that they were dressed in strange clothes and really looked like actors, they made way for them. Tian Ruan was agile, like a nimble little white dragon. He slipped into the crowd and then popped out at the front of the crowd.
Wang Weiqi felt much more uncomfortable. Although he had a big and strong body, he lacked strength. Halfway through, some naughty kid pulled his grass skirt, and when he reached the front, there were only a few sparse grasses left on his waist, which could not cover his flowered shorts at all.
The people around him giggled, and Wang Weiqi shyly covered his front with his hands, "Oh, that's disgusting~"
Tian Ruan pretended not to know him and went to a camera to eat melon.
When the stagehand saw him wearing scholar's clothes, he asked, "Are you also a minor actor?"
Tian Ruan: “Right.”
"The extras are over there, go wait, the director will call you when it's time to go on stage."
Tian Ruan went to stay with the extras.
On the cleared road, after the scene was set, the leading actors came on stage one by one, and the director shouted: "Ready--"
The makeup artist did the final touches on the main actors' makeup, adjusted the headgear, and confirmed that there were no problems with the makeup. The photography, lighting, and recording were all ready. The main actors and extras were in their positions. The script supervisor hit the board in front of the camera and the filming officially began.
As the protagonist, Axelrod is dressed in a luxurious robe, holding a fan in his hand, and appears on stage like a noble man. He walked to a small stall selling glutinous rice balls and said, "Boss, give me a bowl of sesame-filled glutinous rice balls."
The boss's expression changed and he asked, "Where are the sesame seeds produced?"
Axe: "Sesame from the Western Regions."
"How much is one pound?"
"It's worth a thousand gold."
The boss served him glutinous rice balls and put a note at the bottom of the bowl. Axel looked around and suddenly saw Tian Ruan, and paused.
Director: "Cut, start again."
The makeup artist immediately went up to touch up Axe's makeup. Axe smiled apologetically to the director and reshot the scene.
Tian Ruan: "This is the filming scene. It's quite fun."
A male extra nearby smiled with his big buck teeth showing: "Yeah, I think it's funny too."
The director yelled: "Bucktooth——"
The bucktoothed man immediately went up, positioned himself, put on a black mask, and attacked Axe as one of the assassins: "Yan Val! Die!"
"Yan Y?" Tian Ruan was surprised. "This name is of a very high level."
Axel gracefully fought against the five masked assassins, waving the folding fan in his hand to create wind, and somersaults in the air while hanging on the wire, causing the extras to scream and flee in all directions.
At this moment, another male protagonist appeared. He was a popular handsome young man and said sarcastically, "Yan Y, do you need my help?"
Axe did not answer, but just kept waving the fan in his hand.
The white-faced boy looked at him angrily, "You really don't want my help?"
Axe flew to the roof of the restaurant, "You'd better look behind you first."
When the handsome young man turned around, he saw five or six masked assassins rushing towards him and he had no choice but to fight with them.
The two male protagonists gradually stood back to back, fought together, and said some sour lines. The tourists blushed and shouted in a low voice, obviously they were all shipping the couple.
However, after shooting four or five takes, the fight scene still failed and the tourists' enthusiasm faded.
One of the assassins in the extras sprained his ankle, and the director pointed and asked Tian Ruan to take his place. He was given a simple hat and a piece of smelly black cloth. Tian Ruan didn't want to do that. Suddenly she remembered that the handkerchief she brought with her was made of black silk, so she took it out and covered her face with it.
He has a small face, so the handkerchief fits perfectly when folded diagonally.
"Begin!" the director shouted.
Tian Ruan, holding a big plastic knife prop in his hand, rushed forward with the others and started hacking at the two protagonists.
He comes with his own voiceover: "Ha! Hoo! Ha! Hey!"
director:"?"
The whole crew: “?”
The handsome young man: "Ah? Ah!"
The blood plasma on Baimianshi's body exploded, and he was hacked by a mad knife in Axe's arms. Axe waved his fan and shot him with a silver needle - this silver needle required post-production special effects. The other masked assassins pretended to be stabbed, and their bodies rolled to the ground.
Tian Ruan was completely unaware and jumped up and chopped Axe on the head with a knife.
Axel: “…”
Director: “Cut!”
The handsome young man laughed out loud: "We are all dead, hahahaha..."
Tian Ruan clasped his fists and greeted the people around him, picking up a broken vegetable bowl and saying, "Thank you for watching, and thank you for the reward!"
The tourists were stunned and applauded. They took out their change and threw it in. There was a crackling sound. There were even hundred-dollar bills. Tian Ruan walked around and got at least three or four thousand in tips.
The entire crew: “…………”
The extras were all stunned. What was going on? Can you still do this? ?
The director angrily shouted: "You are disrupting the order of the crew!"
Tian Ruan quickly poured the small change into his lapel, hiding it well, took off his handkerchief and said innocently: "I don't have any."
"You haven't? What kind of messed up act were you just acting?"
"I can do it again. Director, you gave so many people the chance to NG, can you just give me one chance?"
The director choked and said after a while, "Okay, do it again!"
Tian Ruan repositioned himself, and after the director said "start" again, he rushed out with the assassins: "Ha!"
Ding ding dang dang, dong dong clang clang.
The change on Tian Ruan's body made louder noises than swords. Whenever he moved, his body made a rustling sound, as if his piggy bank had turned into a spirit.
Everyone: “…………”
As he moved, coins fell to the ground with a clang.
Tian Ruan went to pick up the money while playing, "My money, my money..."
Wang Weiqi is very loyal. He rushed out like a wild man and said, "Brother, let me pick it up for you!"
The tourists laughed wildly and threw money in.
Axe was hit on the head by a coin and sighed to the sky: "This world is really just a huge makeshift team."
The director roared angrily: "Get them out of here!"
Axe was still sober. He glanced at Tian Ruan and said to the director helplessly, "He is from the Yu family."
The director was stunned: "Yu family?"
"Holly Group."
The director stared, "Really?"
Ax nodded solemnly. The biggest investor of the crew was Beibing Media, and the backer of Beibing Media was Holly Group. To round it off, Tian Ruan can be considered the boss of the crew.
director:"……"
What's wrong with the host coming to the crew to play?
Mao Qi finally squeezed in with two bodyguards, and stood by Tian Ruan like a mountain, whispering, "Madam, the master asked you to stop making trouble."
Tian Ruan blew away the dust on the coins and said, "Oh, I'll treat you to ice cream. Everyone has a share. I made money."
Wang Weiqi shouted like a lackey: "Big brother is awesome! He knows how to make money!"
The director's mouth twitched, and he said to Tian Ruan against his will: "Actually, you acted quite well..."
Tian Ruan was surprised: "Do I have a talent for acting?"
"There are a few points. If you want to act, I have a supporting role here. He is a scholar."
"How much is the salary?"
"Two thousand a day."
"I made more than two thousand in these ten minutes."
“…”
Tian Ruan thought about it and declined, "Professional matters should be left to professionals. Although I have some acting talent, this is not my ambition. I can only disappoint the director."
Director: “…No, no, you’re welcome.” His biggest hope was to never see this little ancestor again.
The little ancestor waved his hand without taking away a cloud: "Thank you all for your support today, and thank you all for your rewards. We will meet again in the future."
The director suddenly felt a little regretful: This little ancestor is quite polite and good-looking...
Tian Ruan returned home with a lot of small change in his pocket.
He kept his promise and treated the bodyguards to ice cream, and also treated all the classmates in the group to popsicles. He shouted in the group: I have bought all the popsicles and bread from Yuekelai Grocery Store. If you want to eat, just wear your volunteer clothes and get them.
A row of "Thanks/Roses" at the bottom.
The afternoon passed fulfillingly. Tian Ruan took a leave of absence in advance, changed into his own clothes, walked out of the ancient town, and found the Porsche Cayenne that Yu Jingmo mentioned in the parking lot.
"Mr. Yu, I have earned several thousand. Let me deposit it in the bank." Tian Ruan showed Yu Jingmo the small change in the pocket of his backpack.
Yu Jingmo laughed: "Give it to Assistant Xu, he will help you transfer it."
"Okay."
The car drove towards the hotel where Yu Jingmo was staying. It was more like a villa than a hotel. The neo-Chinese style decoration was full of high-end feeling, and the art of flower arrangement and incense burning everywhere was also very consistent with Yu Jingmo's calm and cold personality.
The suite is on the third floor, neither too high nor too low. When you open the window, you can see the lush and rugged garden, rockery and flowing water, sparse bamboo shadows, and the air is unusually cool.
Tian Ruan collapsed on the sofa with a moderate hardness and softness, enjoying the cool breeze from the air conditioner and the fresh air outside. "Will this be a waste of electricity?"
Yu Jingmo: "Three thousand a day for accommodation, do you think it's a waste of electricity?"
Tian Ruan: “…”
Not to mention turning on the air conditioner for a whole day, even if you turn on the air conditioner with the windows open for a whole day, the hotel will make a lot of money.
"Go take a shower." Yu Jingmo said.
Tian Ruan was still paralyzed, "I don't want to move."
Yu Jingmo hung his coat on the hanger, wearing only a cool light blue shirt underneath. He bent down and picked up the young man, the buttons of his shirt on his chest were almost stretched open by his chest muscles.
Tian Ruan stared at him intently, snuggling happily in Yu Jingmo's arms, "What big pectoral muscles! I like them."
Yu Jingmo: "Just big pectoral muscles?"
"And my abdominal muscles, back muscles, and leg muscles... Oops, I want to eat chicken."
"Now?"
"Um."
Yu Jingmo gave him a bath while coaxing him and feeding him chicken.
Tian Ruan choked and coughed: "It's not this chicken!"
Yu Jingmo wiped his mouth and said, "Let me satisfy your craving first. The delicious food will be left for later."
“…”
After Tian Ruan actually had dinner, he took a shower and then went to eat something more delicious.
Sure enough, the delicious food is left “behind”.
Tian Ruan: “…I can’t eat anymore.”
Yu Jingmo pressed his thin belly with his big hand, "Yeah, it's full as expected."
Said one with force.
Tian Ruan cried out, then was picked up and leaned against the strong chest.
Yu Jingmo kissed him gently on the ear, "Look."
Tian Ruan lowered his eyes, not daring to look, turned his face away and said, "I'm sleepy..."
Yu Jingmo: "Go to sleep later."
This will happen after a while, three hours later.
Tian Ruan slept very deeply and missed the 8 a.m. gathering. When he woke up, it was already 8 a.m. He was so anxious that he punched Yu Jingmo, "It's all your fault."
Yu Jingmo grabbed his fist and said, "I've asked for leave for you. I'll go in the afternoon."
"Summer camp is a group activity. What's the point of me always asking for leave?" Tian Ruan said angrily. "I'll go there now."
"Are you sure you want to stand guard for a whole day with this body?"
"That's right." Tian Ruan kicked the ground with both legs and fell limp. He was stunned. "I've never been like this before."
Yu Jingmo said apologetically: "After you fell asleep, I did it again."
"……asshole!"
Tian Ruan was taken away to wash, eat and rest for a while, but he still insisted on going to stand guard. Yu Jingmo had no choice but to send him to the ancient town.
Without a teacher to lead the group, even if Tian Ruan explained that he was here to be an NPC, he still had to buy a ticket.
Tian Ruan: “…”
Yu Jingmo directly applied for an annual pass and said, "This way you don't have to buy a ticket if you're late these few days."
Tian Ruan: "I don't want to be late every day. This is just one time. Mr. Yu, please go to work and don't disturb me from attending summer camp."
Yu Jingmo lowered her eyes and looked at him, "Did I disturb you?"
Tian Ruan just said it casually, but Yu Jingmo actually took it seriously and immediately changed his words: "It's not a disturbance, it's the icing on the cake for me, like giving wings to a tiger."
Yu Jingmo's lips curled up slightly: "Yeah."
"Then I'll go in. Bye, Mr. Yu."
Just like every day when Tian Ruan went to school, Yu Jingmo said, "I'll pick you up in the evening."
Tian Ruan waved good-bye and entered the ancient town.
He hurriedly went to the neighborhood committee to change into ancient costume. He looked not like a scholar but a knight, and his bare calves did not seem out of place. The aunt from the neighborhood committee specially found him a big plastic knife as an accessory.
Tian Ruan was surprised: "Wow, it turns out that the props for the crew are wholesaled here."
The aunt said, "I picked this up on the street yesterday. I thought it looked nice, so I kept it."
Tian Ruan went out with a big knife, and would use it to compete with anyone he met. Of course, he didn't chop people, as it would be bad to scare away the tourists. He just acted like an NPC, performing fixed actions.
"Tian Ruan!" Wang Weiqi shouted.
Tian Ruan drew out his broadsword and made a sword flower.
"So handsome!" Wang Weiqi was very supportive. He was still dressed as a savage today, but his upper body had some shells as decoration, which seemed to be taken from wind chimes and turned into treasures.
So the two of them, one with a sword and the other with a broom, looked like two heroes in the martial arts world.
When they met other NPCs on the way, they looked troubled, so Tian Ruan asked them what was wrong.
The girl who was dancing with swords yesterday said: "The limelight has been stolen by the crew. We can't attract tourists and will be deducted money."
Tian Ruan was inspired by this and said, "How can this be possible? Let's go to the neighborhood committee and have a discussion."
"Oh, please don't. I want to work part-time here for the summer. My tuition for next semester depends on this."
Tian Ruan knew that every family has its own problems, otherwise these college students wouldn't be working so hard to be NPCs in the hot sun. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then let's take back the limelight."
The girl smiled bitterly: "How can I get it back? That's Yan xx."
Tian Ruan: "No, he is Yan Yi now."
“…Not funny at all.”
"I'll treat everyone to a popsicle to cool off, and we'll work it out."
The dejected NPCs nodded and unconsciously began to follow Tian Ruan's advice. After all, they couldn't think of any good ideas.
Wang Weiqi was so excited: "I have a feud with that star, I will join you!"
Tian Ruan treated everyone to popsicles.
The sword-dancing girl asked, "What good methods do we have to steal the spotlight?"
Tian Ruan calculated with his fingers and said mysteriously, "To capture the thief, you must first capture the leader. The biggest attraction of the crew is Axe. So, as long as we grab Axe, we will grab the limelight."
“…”
A man said, "This is impossible. How can a big star be snatched away? What will be done after snatching it away?"
Tian Ruan was surprised and said, "Since they are human, they have weaknesses. As long as we attack their weaknesses, we can use coercion and inducement. There is no reason why we can't snatch them away."
"Do you know Yan xx's weakness?"
"I know. He is my little slave."
"...Little slave?" They looked terrified, as if a new world had opened up to them. "You, you are his master?"
"I can't call him a master, but a creditor."
"Creditor..." They breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they did not enter the new world. "How come you are his creditor?"
Tian Ruan: "He owes me fifty million."
"!!!"
Wang Weiqi was shocked: "Damn it, big brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, I would have taken the lead and forced him to pay back the money!"
Tian Ruan: "You'd better not use idioms, or you'll get zero marks on your composition."
Wang Weiqi smiled evilly: "It's okay, I often get zeros in exams."
Tian Ruan gave a thumbs up, thought for a moment and said, "If robbing people doesn't work, then we can implement the Number 2 plan and cut off the enemy's food or water supply. We will force them to buy from us, and then we will be the ones to take the limelight."
Everyone: “This is even more impossible.”
Tian Ruan: "I'll go make a phone call."
He stepped aside--
"Mr. Yu, I miss you. Muahmuah~ Kiss kiss kiss~ Bobo bobo~ It's like this, I want to ask you for a favor..."
Three minutes later, Tian Ruan came back and said, "Okay, from now on, the entire ancient town will refuse to sell ice cream, popsicles, mineral water, fruit, and anything else containing water to the crew. Except for the water used to flush the toilet."
The sword-dancing girl asked in surprise: "Who are you?"
Tian Ruan was embarrassed: "Maybe he is a person with a little money."
Being able to stop the ancient town from selling water to the crew with just one sentence shows that this is not just a small amount of money, but requires a lot of connections.
Tian Ruan: "Next, it's our NPC's home court."
So they sang and danced in the street, raised money to wholesale a box of popsicles, and Tian Ruan shouted with a loud speaker: "Don't miss it if you pass by, free popsicles! First come, first served, limited quantity!"
The tourists were skeptical at first, but after they actually got the free popsicles, word spread quickly and everyone knew that free popsicles were given out here. The crew members were worried about not being able to buy ice drinks, so they came to try their luck.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he heard Tian Ruan say, "The crew won't give it to you unless Yan xx comes in person."
"?" After reporting this to the crew, they initially did not take it seriously and continued filming. It was not until they ran out of water and could not buy water or ice cream anywhere that they realized something was wrong.
The director asked Axe, "Did you offend that little ancestor again?"
Axel: "...I didn't. I didn't see him at all after filming yesterday."
"Then why did he insist that you go in person to give the crew popsicles?"
Axel had no idea, so he could only go to Tian Ruan with a lawsuit in mind. Sure enough, all the tourists were attracted and all the popsicles were snatched away in less than a minute.
With the help of his assistant, Axe kept his distance from the tourists and asked Tian Ruan: "What's going on?"
Tian Ruan smiled brightly: "Stand here for a while, I'll get you a popsicle."
The NPCs seized the opportunity and started to perform. Axe was surrounded and couldn't get away. He could only pretend to smile cheerfully and sign autographs for the tourists.
Tian Ruan and Wang Weiqi brought another box of popsicles for Axel to eat.
Axe ate one. Tian Ruan handed him another one. He was thirsty, so he ate it again.
When Tian Ruan handed over the fifth popsicle, Axe's face turned slightly green: "How did I offend you?"
Tian Ruan was surprised: "No, I was just afraid you would get hot."
"Everyone on the crew is very hot. Can I take this box of popsicles home?"
Tian Ruan: "How can one box of popsicles be enough? Bring ten boxes. Come on, NPC sister and brother, help carry it and put on a show."
Axel has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so he is naturally shrewd. Hearing this, he understood: "They are just extras. I recommend them."
Tian Ruan smiled and said, "A box of popsicles costs one thousand yuan. Remember to give me the money."
“…”
Tian Ruan was very satisfied as he not only made money but also helped college students who were also NPCs. As for the director scolding him behind his back as a Pi Xiu turned into a spirit, he had no idea and just sneezed at most.
Tian Ruan took the newly earned money to Lu Qiuyan to show off: "Look, I made another ten thousand today!"
Lu Qiuyan: "...You know how to make money."
Tian Ruan: "A supporting role that can't be any smaller can earn two thousand a day, which shows how lucrative the entertainment industry is. This is a rare opportunity, I will take you to get it tomorrow."
Lu Qiuyan yawned: "Forget it, I want to sleep."
Tian Ruan took out Haagen-Dazs from her bag and said, "I only treated them to popsicles, but you are different. I bought Haagen-Dazs especially for you."
Lu Qiuyan: “…”
Yu Shang frowned when he heard this: "Have you ever bought one for my dad?"
Tian Ruan: “?”
Wang Weiqi emerged from behind a pillar and said sourly, "If you love him, treat him to Haagen-Dazs."
Tian Ruan turned his head suddenly and looked around, shouting, "Brother Mao, stop sending!"
Mao Qi said in the shade: "I have taken the photo and sent it to Mr. Yu."
Tian Ruan: “…”
