As soon as it was light, Ling Yi booked a plane ticket to Greater Zhejiang. Just before boarding the plane, he remembered to send a resignation text message to his department head.
This was Ling Yi's first time on an airplane.
To be honest, I was still very nervous.
After finding his seat, Ling Yi became even more nervous, gripping the armrests tightly with both hands, his face turning pale.
"Young man, fasten your seatbelt first, don't be nervous, take a deep breath." At this moment, a middle-aged Uncle in a suit next to Ling Yi said with a smile.
He could tell at a glance that this was probably Ling Yi's first time flying.
"Thank you!" Ling Yi said, fastening his seatbelt as he expressed his gratitude.
"It's okay, everyone feels this way the first time they fly. You'll get used to it; it's not much different from taking the bus."
How can they be the same? One is on the ground, and the other is in the sky. I can't think about it, I can't think about it, the more I think about it, the more fucking nervous I get.
"Go work in Greater Zhejiang?" The middle-aged Uncle tried to divert Ling Yi's attention.
"No, I'm more interested in Hengdian World Studios. I'd like to check it out and maybe see if I can get a bit part in it."
"Haha, then we really are destined to meet." The middle-aged man laughed loudly.
Then he took out a business card and handed it to Ling Yi.
Gao Wancai, General Manager of Wanxing Film and Television Company.
"Manager Gao, you run a film and television company!" Ling Yi was somewhat surprised. Good heavens, is this someone who's either a conman or Big Shot?
"Hehe, the company is just a title. I specialize in recruiting and managing extras for other film crews. To put it bluntly, I'm a slightly larger extras manager. Just call me Old Gao."
"Are there companies managing extras?" Ling Yi asked curiously, knowing absolutely nothing about this.
"That's for sure. When a film crew is looking for extras, they can't just go around looking for them one by one on the street. They'll definitely look for us, the extras managers."
"Then I would make the requests, such as what content to perform, how many people were needed, and how much they would be paid. I would take a cut and then help the production team arrange extras."
"Oh, I see. I really thought directors would shout for extras all over the streets."
It's true that every profession has its own secrets. Regardless of whether this Old Gao is a fraud or not, he knows more than a Little White like him, so it wouldn't hurt to learn more from him.
Otherwise, Ling Yi would be completely in the dark, even if he arrived at the film studio, he would be clueless.
"Haha, if that's really the case, the director would be in a lot of trouble. And even if they did look for someone, it wouldn't be the director who would go looking; it's usually the assistant director or the production assistant who goes looking..."
"We group leaders often have a hard time getting a word in with the director..."
Old Gao was a very talkative person, and he told Ling Yi a lot about the tricks and routines in the world of extras.
"Is it difficult to be an extra?" Ling Yi asked.
"Being an extra isn't difficult, but to do it long-term and earn a decent income is quite challenging."
"If you'd like to give it a try, I can arrange something for you, but I don't recommend you enter this industry. It's extremely difficult to make a name for yourself in this field."
"Thanks for the guidance, brother!"
With Old Gao accompanying him, Ling Yi, a first-time airplane passenger, wasn't too Bored; Lao Gao was a very interesting person.
Old Gao is a bit of a show-off, but so far he doesn't seem like a bad person.
A person who can rise to the position of group leader and start their own company can be considered a capable person.
Old Gao shared many inside stories about the entertainment industry, which Ling Yi thoroughly enjoyed.
After getting off the plane, Ling Yi hitched a ride with Old Gao and finally saw the real film studio.
"Thank you so much for your help along the way, brother." Ling Yi was very grateful to Old Gao.
Not only did I learn a lot from him, but I also took good care of him.
But Ling Yi felt embarrassed to keep troubling people; otherwise, he would be ungrateful.
"Alright, you can look around on your own for now. Call me if anything comes up. Get some rest tonight. If I find a suitable role, I'll arrange one for you so you can have a taste of acting." Old Gao laughed heartily.
"Then you'll have to trouble yourself, brother. I'll treat you to drinks later."
"Haha, I'm leaving." Old Gao turned around with Xiaosa and left with his assistant who had come to pick him up earlier.
As for whether Old Gao had any ulterior motives, Ling Yi didn't think much of it.
Ling Yi is just an ordinary person, at least in the eyes of outsiders, and there's probably nothing about him that would make others think about him.
After finding a hotel and checking in, Ling Yi grabbed a bite to eat at a random place and then started wandering around the film studio in the Ling Yi.
On Old Gao's side, his assistant asked him curiously, "Mr. Gao, you think highly of this young man?"
"What was your first impression of this kid?" Old Gao asked with a smile.
"I can't quite put my finger on it, it's very special, it seems to have a certain air about it, yet it's also very ordinary," the assistant said after a moment's thought.
"Haha, your observation is very keen. This young man possesses a very special quality, but that quality hasn't fully developed yet."
"Do you know who I've seen this kind of temperament in before?"
"Who?" the assistant asked.
" Jet!"
"What? He knows Kung Fu Hustle?"
"Perhaps it's Kung Fu Hustle, perhaps not. You know I'm very good at judging people, but I Supreme Purity figure out this Ling Yi. In any case, it can't hurt to make his acquaintance."
If Ling Yi heard Old Gao's evaluation, he would definitely give him a thumbs up.
He had just acquired a cheat code, possessing the Thunder Dragon Bloodline Thunder Dragon Bloodline Innate has a certain suppressive effect on ordinary living beings.
This is what Old Gao perceived as "aura".
Even though Ling Yi's Thunder Dragon Bloodline is still very weak.
The Hengying is very large, larger than you can imagine.
This place serves as both a film and television shooting base and a tourist attraction.
Harbor City District recreates the Jianggang of the 1960s, exuding a strong sense of historical charm.
Green train, rickshaw, police station, cobblestone road, streetlights, opera house, concession...
Ling Yi watched with great interest.
He only managed to tour one Harbor City District in one afternoon; it's just too big.
Besides Harbor City District, there are also numerous classic scenic spots such as the Ming and Qing Palace Gardens, Palace of the King of Qin, Along the River During the Qingming Festival, Cultural Park, Ming and Qing Residential Expo City, etc.
The Harbor City District had already greatly impressed Ling Yi Ling Yi, and he was even more excited about other scenic spots.
Similarly, I am also full of anticipation for the life of an extra that I am about to experience.
Late at night, Ling Yi sat on the sofa, waiting quietly.
Looking at the countdown on the system panel, Ling Yi silently prayed that this time it wouldn't be some kind of brainless fantasy world again. Even if the rewards were generous, it would still be a bit too much for him.
Although Ling Yi had all sorts of complaints in his mind, he wouldn't let go of any opportunity to play a character in a novel's world; this was the foundation of his rise to power.
Even if you don't meet the rating requirements and can't participate in the lottery, your Personal Space still gives you one chance to bring out any item or living being from the novel's world, right?
Moreover, this is also a process for Ling Yi to accumulate experience.
Once midnight struck, the system's countdown ended.
A blue cesium Light Ball with a question mark appeared in the system interface.
Having had experience before, Ling Yi knew that this blue cesium Light Ball was the Teleport Gate to the random novel world.
Ling Yi casually tapped on it, and the next moment, a large amount of information flooded into Ling Yi's mind.
Novel title: The School Belle's Personal Bodyguard, rating 5.9.
Role played by: Lin Zhe!
Upon seeing this name, Ling Yi felt a chill run down her spine.
Upon reading the content, Ling Yi's face darkened even further.
The plot is roughly as follows: The Protagonist, Gao Feng, was an orphan from a young age. He was picked up and raised by an old Daoist priest in the mountains. Undoubtedly, this old Daoist priest was a master.
With top-notch medical skills and unparalleled martial arts prowess, he was a renowned figure in the Jianghu more than thirty years ago. He had made connections with numerous high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and no one dared to provoke him, whether in terms of strength or influence.
But one night thirty years ago, the old Daoist priest was poisoned and murdered by a woman. He was then surrounded and attacked by many masters. Although he eventually escaped, he was seriously injured.
He then secluded himself in the mountains and chose a dilapidated Daoist temple to prepare for the rest of his life.
Finding Gao Feng was an accident, but what made the old Daoist priest ecstatic was that Gao Feng was actually Innate Physique and all his meridians were open, making him the perfect disciple to inherit his mantle.
So, for the next twenty years, the old Daoist priest imparted all his knowledge to Gao Feng.
Six months ago, the old Daoist priest passed away. Before he died, he gave Gao Feng a jade pendant that represented the mystery of Gao Feng's background, and also gave Gao Feng a task.
I went to Qingcheng City to protect an old friend's daughter for three years.
That is, Bai Qianqian, the female protagonist in the novel.
The Protagonist possesses unparalleled martial arts skills and Tongtian medical expertise, essentially starting at max level. Coupled with the Protagonist Aura and various opportunities, he engages in all sorts of boasting and face-slapping antics in the In the City.
These types of urban fantasy novels all have one thing in common: a ton of female leads... female leads whose intelligence has been lowered by the Protagonist.
After reviewing his memories of the novel's plot, Ling Yi couldn't help but twitch his lips.
The Protagonist of this novel can be summed up in four words: shameless!
It's a feel-good story, but the awkwardness is genuinely palpable. As for intelligence... does it even need to be?
Absolutely not.
Ling Yi plays Lin Zhe, a true "villain" who appears throughout the entire storyline.
Song Zhe, a second-generation member of a top-tier aristocratic family.
They have money and power.
He has an incredibly high social standing, is handsome, acts with integrity, and is persistent and conscientious.
In any case, according to the early descriptions of the novel, before he met the Protagonist and was affected by the Intelligence-Lowering Aura," he was an extremely outstanding young man in every aspect.
Because he fell in love with the female lead, Bai Qianqian, he followed her from Yanjing to Qingcheng City.
If such a person were in the real world, countless people would be willing to pay any price for them.
But the female lead just doesn't like him. Instead, she falls for a smooth-talking, seemingly righteous but actually shameless scoundrel who has tricked one female lead after another.
The plots of "cool" novels are usually quite tightly arranged, with one plot point following another almost immediately after another.
Anyway, the Protagonist is quite busy, a true master of time management, juggling various beautiful women every day.
A significant portion of the earlier plot does not require Ling Yi's involvement.
After they appear, they are constantly being overwhelmed by the Protagonist and the female lead.
Ultimately, Lin Zhe was completely corrupted by the female and male leads, transforming from a sunny and handsome young man into a villain who acts in extreme and somewhat neurotic ways.
Ling Yi is currently thinking about something that is quite important to him.
The key question is whether the plot can be changed, and whether changes to the plot will affect the rating.
This needs to be tested; in any case, Ling Yi in this world never intended to get a high score.
Trying out the system's rules is absolutely necessary for Ling Yi.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Yi Ling Yi conjured a black Teleport vortex in front of Ling Yi and stepped into it.
As Ling Yi's figure disappeared, the Teleport vortex also contracted and vanished in the blink of an eye.
By the time Ling Yi came to his senses, he was already holding flowers and standing at the door of a classroom.
At the same time, a flood of memories about Song Zhe also entered Ling Yi's mind, and the role of Jiao Ce officially began...
