Chapter 7 Smiling Tiger and Hypocrisy
There were only a few people on set, and no one but Zhai Tianlin could exude that [sleazy aura].
This is the manifestation of his reputation; he is associated with all sorts of bad things.
Fortunately, this cheat can only drop attribute points. If it could drop other things, it might drop a fake graduation certificate.
This old bastard looks like a habitual offender; he's got shifty eyes and is really wicked!
On the other hand, if other things could be dropped, wouldn't it be amazing if Jin Fei dropped from Ya Hua Zi's body?
"Brother Xu, how's the compensation you discussed?"
During the break, an extra sneakily approached Xu An.
"It's settled. The benefits are much better than before, so you can rest assured."
The extras weren't at ease; they had a constipated expression on their faces.
He wanted to know the exact amount, not Xu An's "Don't worry."
How could anyone feel at ease? If they couldn't get better treatment, who would be foolish enough to keep working here?
"This number!"
Xu An slowly extended two fingers, which immediately made the extras' eyes light up.
200!
This might be the highest pay ever paid to an extra in Hengdian, and he immediately ran off to share his joy with everyone.
Xu An frowned as he looked at the beaming smiles. If he didn't get 200 yuan by the time he brought it up, he would be in big trouble.
Although he could make up a lot of lies, he didn't want to fool these poor extras.
If he even deceives these vulnerable groups, then what's the difference between him and those beasts?
We finished work at noon.
Xu An received the boxed lunch from the crew. The boxed lunch here was a bit worse than that of the crew of "Liu Hai Plays with the Golden Toad". It only had one meat dish, two vegetable dishes and a soup.
No wonder this production crew is short-staffed right now; it turns out the pay is too bad. If they didn't need someone to fill in, they probably wouldn't be paying them 200 a day.
However, he didn't care. There was no difference between two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes or one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, as long as he could eat his fill.
Just as the group was eating, a figure in red flashed past them.
This caused the people who were eating to turn their attention to it.
"Hey, look!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, could this be Zhen Mi?"
"Holy crap, she's so beautiful! This woman has such a great presence!"
"I've never seen this actress before! Brother Xu wasn't lying, she's a real beauty!"
Xu An also stopped what he was doing and glanced at the figure that had just disappeared into the distance.
This woman is Zhang Zhixi, who also played Zhen Mi in "The Advisors Alliance".
Her portrayal of Zhen Mi had a cool and aloof quality, which was quite stunning. However, her other roles were rather ordinary, and Xu An wasn't particularly interested in her.
I mentioned it briefly to attract these LSPs, but I didn't expect them to become such a sucker.
"Alright, wipe the drool from your mouth, you'll see what happens next."
The voice just fell.
Xu An got up to move away from them, but before leaving, he picked up two orbs of light from beside them.
[Sleazy vibe +1]
[Thief-like eyes +1]
He knew this would happen; these guys were really hungry!
After finishing their boxed lunches, the group secretly returned from the set of "The Advisors Alliance" to the set of "Liu Hai Plays with the Golden Toad".
To be honest, Xu An was a little nervous around these extras; they would jump in fright if someone approached them to talk.
Fortunately, no one suspected anything, which relieved everyone.
Under the triple assault of attractive treatment, connections, and beautiful women, the extras truly kept their mouths shut.
A week passed just like that, and their time as extras in the "Liu Hai Plays with the Golden Toad" production came to an end.
It was a tiring period, but the extras seemed to be having a good time.
350 yuan arrives in my account every day—such days are rare indeed!
I'm a bit tired, but at least I'm full of energy.
Lu, the assistant director in charge of coordinating the actors, also made a brief appearance before everyone left.
Xu An squinted and sized up the old man.
The money for "Liu Hai Plays with the Golden Toad" has been settled, but the money for "The Advisors Alliance" hasn't been settled yet. We'll have to settle the accounts after filming is finished.
After all, they offer high compensation, so no one complains about that.
Xu An was very worried. If that cunning assistant director Lu tried to skim off the bill, there would be nothing he could do.
These extras had already finished their scenes in the "Liu Hai Plays with the Golden Toad" production, so no one would believe it if they said that Assistant Director Lu was taking them to film multiple projects at once.
They were like a lump of dough, which Assistant Director Lu could mold however he wanted.
"Xu An is here too. Stay for a moment, I'd like to have a chat with you."
Xu An frowned at Assistant Director Lu's words, but the other extras smiled with delight!
Should we pay them their salaries for "The Advisors Alliance"? Or should we raise their salaries?
"Director Lu, I..."
"Don't rush, come in and we'll talk."
Assistant Director Lu smiled, but his smile made Xu An's heart tighten.
Just what I feared most has happened!
In the assistant director's room on set, Xu An followed Assistant Director Lu inside.
The other party's face remained as gloomy as ever, like a venomous snake raising its head, poised to strike a fatal blow.
"Director Lu, what can I do for you?"
"It's nothing, you handled this very well, I'm very satisfied!"
"Director Lu, you're too kind. This is what I should do."
"Hehe, you're not worried I won't pay your bill, are you?"
Assistant Director Lu's words struck Xu An's heart like a death knell.
How did that cunning old fox figure it out? Does he have mind-reading abilities? Or did he give himself away by revealing some flaw?
Especially seeing the gloomy and cold look in Assistant Director Lu's eyes, one couldn't help but feel a chill.
His eyes seemed to see right through people's hearts.
"Haha, Director Lu, you're joking. How could I think that way? We're so grateful for the opportunity you've given us, we wouldn't even think that way!"
"Alright, stop pretending in front of me. Do you think your little tricks will fool me? Don't worry, the agreed-upon compensation will be paid in full. Let them work without worry!"
These words were spoken with absolute certainty, which made Xu An look at him with surprise.
Something's not right!
This development was somewhat beyond his expectations.
"You're capable, but you're a bit too calculating. I don't know how someone so young can be so thoughtful," Assistant Director Lu said with a smile, giving Xu An a quick glance.
His smile prompted Xu An to give an awkward but polite smile in return.
This is awkward!
I initially thought the other person was a cunning schemer, but it turns out they're an honest person!
Could it be that the other party simply wants to treat their subordinates better?
With a skeptical attitude, Xu An approached Assistant Director Lu Lu and quickly picked up the two orbs with a single click.
