Chen Feng took three days off for himself.
Because in Zheng Bin's small crew, with the abilities granted by the system, he earned 4950 in three days.
He had never had such treatment before.
So Chen Feng improved his life a bit.
He ate something good.
He bought a lot of seafood ingredients, and when he got home, he switched to the role of a master chef, making top-tier dishes in his small 30-square-meter apartment.
It was just leisurely and comfortable.
He really enjoyed the meal.
At the same time, he spent a lot of time studying the system.
He tried to see if he could exploit any bugs.
For example, he tried setting roles for himself to act, or imitating acting through cosplay, etc., but none of it worked.
The system locked onto the 'Actor' profession, so he had to obtain acting opportunities according to the professional interpretation.
No other way!
He should just continue being an extra.
This was the fastest way.
At the same time, the variety show live broadcast a month later was also a good channel.
He was getting more and more excited.
...
On the fourth day of his rest.
Chen Feng decided to continue looking for crews outside.
But he received a call first thing in the morning.
It was an unfamiliar number.
After connecting.
On the other end of the phone, an old, slightly familiar voice came into his ears: "Hello, is this Chen Feng?"
"Yes, it's me. Who is this?"
Chen Feng asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, I am Song Guohui."
"Song... Oh, it's Teacher Song. Hello, hello."
Chen Feng suddenly realized.
Song Guohui was the oldest examiner during The What is an Actor audition.
He hadn't expected him to call him personally.
Was it about the variety show's promotion round?
Chen Feng felt a bit of anticipation.
On the phone.
Song Guohui smiled gently: "Xiao Chen, what have you been busy with these past few days? Have you prepared yourself mentally for the promotion round a month from now?"
"Teacher Song, I'm just busy with random things. For the promotion round, I'll just try my best not to have any regrets. Anyway, I'm just an extra who just started, so I don't have that much burden or psychological pressure."
"Good, good."
Song Guohui said with a chuckle: "Young man, your mindset is good, very good. Xiao Chen, do you know what I did before I retired?"
"I don't know."
"Hehe, actually, before I retired, I was a teacher at the Yan Film Academy. So, on the day of the audition, when I saw your resume, I felt a strong sense of familiarity."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng finally understood.
No wonder on the day of the audition, after he found out about Zhao Zhilong using connections, he was very displeased and took the initiative to talk to Chen Feng, encouraging him to treat it with a normal mindset.
It turned out he was from a senior generation of teachers.
Chen Feng also smiled: "Teacher Song, so you were also a teacher at Yan Film Academy. On the day of the audition, I still have to thank Teacher Song for his encouragement."
"Hehe, you're welcome. Your promotion is due to your own ability. Your portrayal of an Addict, honestly, I, Song Guohui, have lived for so many years and have never seen anyone act it more realistically than you."
Chen Feng quickly humbled himself: "Teacher Song, you're praising me too much. I just tried self-Hypnosis, hypnotizing myself into an Addict, and just thought about it randomly."
"Good kid, you can act like that just by thinking randomly? Xiao Chen, I'm looking for you today because I have something I want to ask you."
Chen Feng's heart stirred.
Something was coming.
He didn't know if it was good or bad.
He quickly replied: "Teacher Song, please tell me."
"Okay."
Song Guohui cleared his throat on the phone: "Ahem, it's like this. A former student of mine has now entered the director's circle. He's currently filming an urban romance drama."
"This friend just started not long ago and doesn't have much fame."
"But he's a good person."
"At least I think he's a talented person."
"Now, his drama needs a special extra, which might require being on set for fifteen to twenty days."
"However, he has limited funds."
"Plus, he doesn't have much fame, so he can't find a suitable special extra."
"He called me, wanting me to help him find someone who would ask for a lower price."
"And I thought of you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Teacher Song, I'm just an ordinary extra. What use am I to you? I'm not a special extra."
"Xiao Chen, let me ask you first."
Song Guohui asked with a smile: "My student wants to find a special extra to play a Rich Second Generation villain whose scenes aren't too many."
"Just that kind of stereotypical character."
"Someone whose family is very rich, with a net worth over ten billion. And his personality is arrogant, domineering, and outwardly wild."
"Do you think you have any ideas?"
Chen Feng's heart immediately stirred upon hearing this.
Holy cow!
Rich Second Generation?
The kind with family assets over ten billion?
This could be it.
After he acted it, the system should directly arrange for him to become a Rich Second Generation, right?
Chen Feng's heart rate accelerated.
He had to fight for it no matter what.
"Teacher Song, if you trust me, then I'll be honest. I've actually researched this kind of stereotypical Rich Second Generation, just as you described. And I have a lot of insights."
"Hehe, excellent."
Song Guohui also seemed quite happy, chuckling: "Honestly, I think highly of you. Xiao Chen, you're a talented seedling. So I also hope you have more opportunities to hone yourself in proper crews. Come on then, I'll take you to the set."
Chen Feng quickly thanked him: "Teacher Song, then thank you for your consideration."
"Don't mention it."
Song Guohui changed the subject: "But Xiao Chen, I also have to be honest with you. When you go, they might not give you the price of a special extra. Considering the financial situation, they might only give you the price of a minor extra. Can you accept that?"
"I have no problem with that."
Chen Feng smiled: "I'm just an ordinary extra to begin with, getting the price of a minor extra is already very good. Teacher Song, I have no problem."
"That's good then, the young man is straightforward."
Song Guohui also quickly said: "How about this, if you're free today, come with me to the set. My student will do a screen test, and if it feels right, they'll sign the contract immediately."
"Okay. Teacher Song, I'm leaving now."
"Alright. I'll wait for you downstairs at Oriental Building."
"Got it."
After saying that, the two hung up the phone.
Chen Feng was overjoyed.
Another new role.
And it was a Rich Second Generation with a family background of over ten billion.
Was he about to escape poverty?
As for the salary?
It really wasn't important anymore.
Actually, a minor extra gets 300-500 yuan a day, while a special extra gets 1500-3000 yuan a day. The difference between them is quite significant.
What Song Guohui was looking for was someone to do the work of a special extra for the price of a minor extra.
The scenes and workload would definitely be substantial.
Judging by general special extras, such a thing would usually not be agreed to.
Because it was too much of a loss.
But Chen Feng didn't have this problem.
He wasn't a special extra to begin with.
Strictly speaking, it was already a promotion for him.
As for the scenes?
Honestly, for him, it was just an opportunity to hone his skills.
Especially now, with the system in place.
Once he successfully portrayed the Rich Second Generation role, after the acting became reality, Chen Feng might directly escape poverty and become rich, embarking on a bright future.
Therefore, he left.
