Chapter 53 Temporary Mission Issued: 3 Days as Extras - It's All Because the System Was Too Gen
Thanks to the system's fixed check-in system, Jiang Chengcheng finally managed to check in successfully after dragging Ning Qier to five different check-in locations.
The second place to visit was the Summer Palace, but the Summer Palace was much more crowded than the Great Wall. I waited in line for about an hour.
Besides the red walls and green tiles of the Summer Palace, another eye-catching attraction is the well-fed royal cats hidden in various corners. Whether you can see them depends on your luck.
Because seeing the Imperial Cat is a matter of chance, few people would specifically seek it out, except for Jiang Chengcheng, who is a scumbag who needs the Imperial Cat as a backdrop.
After walking with Ning Qier for most of the day, Jiang Chengcheng finally spotted a tortoiseshell cat on the eaves of a secluded courtyard. The cat was taking a nap.
Fearing that the cat, whom she had finally found as a backdrop, would be scared away, Jiang Chengcheng gestured for Ning Qier to take a picture of her.
Ning Qier roughly understood what Jiang Chengcheng meant, and snapped a photo with her camera.
Only then did Jiang Chengcheng feel the touch on the back of her foot. Looking down, she saw it was the cat that had been sleeping on the eaves.
Jiang Chengcheng was somewhat surprised that the cat wasn't afraid of strangers at all. She squatted down and gently stroked the cat's head, and the cat didn't flinch. It even stretched lazily and nudged Jiang Chengcheng's hand with its head.
Seeing the interaction between the person and the cat, Ning Qier couldn't help but put down her camera and come over. The two played with the cat for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they reluctantly left the Summer Palace.
Tiananmen Square is not far from the Summer Palace. Jiang Chengcheng checked in successfully without any effort. This was probably the smoothest she had ever done since she received the check-in task.
Ding!
Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in.
The awards are now being distributed to Beijing Film and Television Base.
Trigger the hidden check-in task flag.
An additional 51% of the shares of Tiansheng Film & Television Group will be awarded as a reward.
I go!
This hidden reward is amazing!
Jiang Chengcheng was completely shocked when she heard the system's last sentence!
As for why it was so shocking, it all stemmed from the fact that Tiansheng Group was not just a simple entertainment company!
In later generations, this would be a behemoth that could dominate the Chinese entertainment industry, with countless superstars, movie queens, and TV queens under its command. It even had connections with film schools in Beijing, Shanghai, and other places. It could be said that it looked down on the entire entertainment industry and was a force to be reckoned with in the film and television industry around the world.
Of course, this is partly due to China's rising international status, but it still won't affect its future market value of hundreds of billions.
Ding!
Temporary task is now issued!
I served as an extra for three days.
This is a random task.
The host can refuse.
Reward: A gift card with no minimum spending requirement. (Valid for one day)
While Jiang Chengcheng was still in shock, the system's voice sounded again.
When Jiang Chengcheng heard about the rare random task from the system, she originally wanted to refuse, after all, she had been running around for the past few days and was really tired. But when she noticed the rewards the system was giving out, she instantly changed her mind!
And all of this is because the system gave too much!
This is an opportunity for unlimited spending!
If this technology could be used for auctions in the suburbs of Shanghai, it would definitely save a lot of money!
"Does the host accept the mission?" the system asked.
“I accept!” Jiang Chengcheng replied without hesitation.
……
the next day.
In order not to delay the affairs in the suburbs of Hai City, Jiang Chengcheng let Ning Qier return to Hai City first, while she went to the Beijing Film and Television Base alone.
It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and film crews had already started looking for extras as early as five or six o'clock.
However, those people all have their own teams. If Jiang Chengcheng wants to be an extra, she'd better find a temporary team too, otherwise it will be difficult to find a film crew.
After circling around the entrance of the film and television base, Jiang Chengcheng found a team leader, slipped him a thousand yuan, and successfully joined the team.
The woman, Fang Jie, was a veteran who had worked in the Beijing Film and Television Base for over a decade and had considerable connections in the area. After accepting the money, she gave Jiang Chengcheng a QR code, instructing her to scan it to join a group where she would post information about any film crews hiring.
After joining the group, Jiang Chengcheng glanced at it and saw that there were several hundred people in the group, which showed that being an extra wasn't so easy.
As soon as Jiang Chengcheng joined the group, someone posted a job advertisement for the film crew.
Wearing the Dragon Robe: News has been received that a film crew is recruiting maids at the entrance of the Wanxiang Building in the film and television base. One maid has lines, and seven maids do not.
Requirements: Height over 160cm, regular facial features, long hair.
After seeing the message, Jiang Chengcheng wanted to say goodbye to Sister Fang and leave, but before she could take two steps, Sister Fang stopped her again.
"Hey! What are you going to do! I have a maid who's already been chosen and has lines. You can just come with me to the film set." Sister Fang saw that Jiang Chengcheng was about to leave before she could finish explaining, and remembering the message in the group chat, she quickly spoke up.
"Huh? Is it that good?" Jiang Chengcheng looked at Sister Fang with a blank expression after being stopped.
"Are you silly, little girl! What did you give me that thousand yuan for? You can't tell anyone about this, and don't tell anyone else either." Sister Fang gave a wry smile.
She originally thought that the other party gave her a thousand yuan because they knew the ins and outs and wanted to curry favor with her to get a better role, but she never expected that the other party was actually a complete novice.
"Alright, come with me." Fang Jie smoothed her long hair and styled it into a classic look before heading into the film and television base. Jiang Chengcheng, realizing what was happening, quickly followed.
The two wandered through the streets and alleys for about ten minutes before arriving at a road intersection that had been closed off.
Fang Jie chatted with the person guarding the street corner for a few minutes, and the person let the two of them in immediately, which shows that Fang Jie does have some connections in the entire base.
Soon after entering the street, Jiang Chengcheng saw actors, directors, and crew members filming inside.
This street is specifically used for filming period dramas; judging from the costumes of these people, it should be from the Tang Dynasty.
Fang Jie turned to Jiang Chengcheng and gestured, and the two of them lowered their voices and walked back to the director.
Just then, the director finished filming a scene and let everyone take a short break. Fangjie took the opportunity to lead her over.
"Director, this is my niece whom I've mentioned to you. Could you please take good care of her? Would it be alright if you let her look at that maid role?" Sister Fang asked cautiously with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the director looked Jiang Chengcheng up and down, then frowned and said.
"How can she be so beautiful? Lin Fang, aren't you trying to trick me? I hired a maid, and you've sent me a beauty with such a face. That's not appropriate."
Normally, he wouldn't mind having such a beautiful woman on his set, since people are visual creatures. But now that most of his important roles have been cast, it wouldn't be appropriate to have someone with such a face as a maid.
