After the filming was completed, I awakened my superpowers.

Chapter 42 Killing monsters makes more money than acting (Please read and vote)
……

It is no small matter for the director to replace the second male lead directly on the set.

But this also depends on the level of the director.

Director Li is not an ordinary director. He has directed several IP dramas, one of which even made it into the top five of T Station Video's annual list, making a lot of money for the producer.

It was also because the producer had a good relationship with Director Li that he was invited to host this film [The Super Detective Yan Xiayi].

Such a person naturally has different authority on the set.

After a brief hesitation, the producer said, "Old Li, how about we give the young people another chance?"

"If I give him a chance, who will give me a chance? If this drama fails, who will take the responsibility?" The director choked the producer back with a dark face, then turned to look at Zhao Junfei and said, "Young man, if I were you, I would definitely withdraw on my own initiative, know shame and then be brave, calm down and hone my skills before fighting again. Otherwise, if I really kick you out, it will not be a good show."

Zhao Junfei's face suddenly turned red and white. Just as he was about to protest, his agent hurriedly pulled him back and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, Director Li, you are right. Our Junfei has not been in good health recently. We will post a Weibo statement right now. Our Junfei regretfully withdraws from the crew of [The Detective Yan Xiayi] due to health reasons."

The agent also knew the importance of the matter, so how could he dare to confront Director Li who was so angry?

Otherwise, it would not be as simple as just losing the role.

The producer hesitated to speak, and finally sighed helplessly.

Seeing that Zhao Junfei's agent was sensible, the director didn't bother with it anymore. He waved his hand and asked them to leave, then asked the assistant director to go find Sheng Yixia to talk to her.

Sheng Yixia, who was learning wire-hanging techniques from Zhang Kai and brushing up his Qinggong card proficiency, was also confused when he heard the news. Ah, this... He was just here to play a minor role and draw a Qinggong card, how come he ended up playing the second male lead?

This reminded him of his experience in the crew of the King of Cooking, where he also fired the third male lead in the middle of acting!
Well, it seems I have to be more careful when joining a film crew next time.

To avoid rumors that Sheng Yixia is a big drama bully, rushing around in various crews to steal the show.

Not long.

Sheng Yixia, feeling a little complicated, came to the director.

"Sheng Yixia, Xiao Wang should have told you about the situation just now, right?" The director was quite nice to Sheng Yixia, and said in a friendly manner, "The second male lead role of our film [Divine Detective Yan Xiayi] is yours. Please read the script first to familiarize yourself with it, and call your agent over to sign the contract."

However, because they were planning to formally invite him to act, the title of Teacher Sheng naturally became Sheng Yixia.

Ah, this...is not...

Director, aren’t you being too direct and forceful? You didn’t even ask me if I wanted to act?

Sheng Yixia suppressed the urge to complain, took a deep breath, put her acting skills to good use, and said apologetically, "Director Li, I'm really sorry. I'm currently starring in a web drama, and I have two more web dramas to shoot in a row. I'm afraid I can't spare the time."

The director immediately raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "What's so good about online dramas? Forget about this one, and ask your agent to turn down the next two. Our big IP drama has 30 episodes. The second male lead not only has a lot of scenes, but also has a likable character. As long as you cooperate with me and act well, I will guarantee that you will be promoted to the second line."

Sheng Yixia's head was pounding when he heard this.

Are you kidding? What’s so good about online movies?
My baby web dramas have short filming cycles and lots of card draws.

It takes at least three months to shoot this drama, and you have to stay in the crew every day. Is it just to draw a card for the second male lead who is a bootlicker for females?
Besides, it’s still uncertain whether you can draw the character card in the end. What if you only draw a random card? Wouldn’t that be a loss?
After sorting out my thoughts.

Sheng Yixia considered and declined politely, "Director Li, thank you for your kindness. Those two online movies are my favorites. We'll have a chance to meet again..."

Director Li, who was already in a bad mood, immediately became furious and interrupted Sheng Yixia before she could finish: "What's the point of working with you again, you ungrateful brat... Get lost, get lost, and don't show up in front of me again."

Well, the speed at which he downgraded the way he addressed Sheng Yixia from Teacher Sheng to Sheng Yixia and then to brat was quite fast.

"Yes, yes, Director Li, you go on with your work. I'll take my leave now." Sheng Yixia didn't tolerate the bad-tempered Li Laodeng. She greeted him politely and left.

Yao Jiaqi looked at Director Li with a confused look on her face, whose face was becoming increasingly gloomy, and then looked at Sheng Yixia who was leaving quickly.

She could only take steps to catch up helplessly, and walked side by side with Sheng Yixia to smooth things over: "Yixia, Director Li is a talent he values, and he got angry because he thinks you have potential. However, you should really think about what he said, there is no future in acting in online movies all day long."

"I can't refuse this." Sheng Yixia answered perfunctorily.

Just kidding, whether it is the play of the magician or the prequel of the King of Traffic, Sheng Yixia will never give up, as it is related to the formation of his battle card deck.

"Okay." Yao Jiaqi also felt that it would be a bad idea to talk about something more serious when they were just friends, so she smiled and said, "Then I wish your new film a big hit."

"I appreciate your good words, and I wish your Yanxiayi will be a big hit."

Afterwards, Sheng Yixia chatted with Zhang Kai who came over, and they added each other's WeChat. She told him that when he had time, he could go to the Bionic Girlfriend crew, as there were a lot of action scenes there, which required some professional action actors with strong skills.

After saying goodbye to the two of them, he returned to his own crew.

But on the way back, Sheng Yixia always felt that he was as light as a swallow, and his feet were itchy. When he saw a ditch, he wanted to jump over it, and when he saw a wall, he wanted to climb over it. He had an urge not to take the usual route.

The last time I had such a strong urge was before I was eight years old.

However, after being beaten several times by Lao Deng and my mother for not following the right path, this strange impulse was naturally cured. I returned to the crew.

Sheng Yixia, who had no show today, saw that others were also busy and had no time to deal with him, so he simply went to the locker room to put down his usual mobile phone, put on his backpack, put on a baseball cap, put on the assembled mobile phone, took a taxi to the university town, and found a crowded corner of the shopping mall to use the public WIFI with the assembled mobile phone.

According to his original plan, he was going to log into the Home of Extraordinary People APP in a few days, but since the attack on Rei Hino happened yesterday, he also wanted to observe the situation.

After opening the app, I found several unread messages before I started browsing.

One of the messages was from the backend administrator, politely asking him if he had been near Ningxi Road last night, and indirectly asking him if he was the mysterious supernatural being who saved Hino Rei. He assured her that he just wanted to confirm his identity in order to issue the task reward, and had no intention of prying into his privacy.

Sheng Yixia was mentally prepared for this when he took action last night.

When two extraordinary people who are good at attacking with playing cards appear at the same time in a short period of time, the authorities will inevitably associate them together.

However, Sheng Yixia did not reply immediately, but checked several other messages first.

They were all messages requesting to add friends. One of the IDs was "Hino Rei", and the other two were called "Fei Fei" and "Tank".

Sheng Yixia added Hino Rei first and temporarily ignored the other two.

Hino Rei sent a message in seconds: "Boss, you are finally here. Thank you for saving us last night."

"How can you be sure it's me?" Sheng Yixia replied carefully.

"I met Sister Fei and Uncle Tank last night, and I reported the mission to them. Uncle Tank said that you might be the newly emerged mysterious supernatural being, so I begged Sister Fei to give me your registration ID." Hino Rei typed quickly.

Sister Fei?

Uncle Tank?

Sheng Yixia glanced at the two friend requests again, still ignoring them for the time being, and switched back to the chat interface to ask a question: "You and your companions, are you all right?"

"Thank you for your concern." Hino Rei quickly replied, "I'm in good health and nothing serious is wrong with me. My companions are not in danger of death either."

Without waiting for Sheng Yixia to ask.

Hino Rei quickly said, "Boss, if it's convenient, can we meet offline? I want to thank you very much."

"inconvenient."

"Can you please leave me your contact information?"

"No."

Hino Rei on the opposite side was silent for a while, as if she was at a loss.

Lying on the bed in the intensive care unit, she looked at the tall, beautiful woman in a black windbreaker beside the bed for help: "Sister Fei, what should I do next?"

The woman named Sister Fei thought for a moment and said, "This mysterious extraordinary person is very cautious in contacting us. Since he appears to be harmless and friendly for the time being, there is no need to dig him out by force."

After a brief pause, Sister Fei continued, "Xiao Li, if you have time, chat with him. Don't cut off the connection. If there is a chance, we can still cooperate with him."

"Got it, Sister Fei." Hino Rei, who was lying on the hospital bed, saluted.

At this time, Sheng Yixia was replying to the message from the backend administrator, saying that it was he who saved Hino Rei.

soon.

The administrator sent him a confirmation message that the team task was completed.

"Dear extraordinary comrade, according to Hino Rei's report, our unit has confirmed that you have jointly completed the outsourced mission of the National Non-Government Bureau - [Search and Cleanup HS013 Mission], and based on the report and evaluation, we have concluded that you have assumed the main force in this mission and can reap % of the spoils and points."

"The D+ level familiar crystal core you picked up is estimated to be worth 20 points, and the outsourcing task settlement reward is 20 points. The total output of this task is 40 points, and your theoretical reward is 32 points. After deducting the spoils you picked up in advance, you can still get 12 points."

"If you have any objection to the task settlement of our unit, you can file an appeal at any time."

Sheng Yixia's expression showed a bit of weirdness. The task manager of the National Non-Government Bureau was more like a system than his own system.

But 32 points in total...it's a huge gain.

Converted into money, it actually reached 320 million in cash.

I didn't expect that killing monsters can make more money than being a star.
