the next day.

Zhang Ze went to the address listed in the notice.

After meeting up with the group leader and other extras, they entered a photography studio under the guidance of the group leader, Brother Qiang.

Once inside, I discovered that it was a completely different world.

Surprisingly, it was connected to a very large bar.

There are already quite a few people inside making preparations.

"I knew it was a scene from a bar!"

"We're in for a treat today; there will definitely be a lot of beautiful women coming later."

"That extra from yesterday said in a slightly smug voice."

At this moment, the assistant director walked over and said to them.

"Today, you guys are playing the roles of the bar's security guards."

"Wait a minute, you all stand there in your suits. When the main characters start fighting, you run over and maintain order. Understand?"

Everyone nodded to indicate that they understood. The props team handed them several pairs of walkie-talkies and told them to distribute them as they pleased.

The makeup artist on set quickly applied some powder to everyone's faces whenever she had a spare moment, then left the group to do other things.

Filming on set is a tedious job.

These kinds of extras aren't used very often.

Most of the time, they stood on the sidelines waiting.

Several extras dressed in suits, playing the roles of bar security guards.

They were all young men in their early twenties, and they all came from the same group leader.

They all knew each other, so there wasn't much to talk about while they stood aside.

The conversation naturally turned to women.

Just as the group was having a lively conversation, a large group of beautiful women suddenly walked in from outside.

The air was filled with the sweet voices of birds.

Every woman is beautiful; she has a great figure and a pretty face.

The important thing is that every woman is dressed very sexily.

Bodycon skirts and strapless tops made the temperature in the photo studio seem to rise a few degrees overnight.

"Wow……"

"it's beautiful."

"So sexy!"

Whispers rang out around them, but their eyes were glued to the woman, not looking away for even a second.

"This is the atmosphere-building team that the production crew hired."

"Most of them work in the bar's atmosphere-building team, earning a thousand yuan a day. These days, it's fucking easy for women to make money!"

Lu Jun complained to Zhang Ze in a low voice.

"A thousand a day?"

Zhang Ze was somewhat taken aback.

Just dress lightly and you can earn over a thousand yuan a day filming. That's too easy money!

He worked as an extra for a week and only earned a thousand!

No wonder so many beautiful women are desperate to get into the entertainment industry!

"Zhang Ze, if you had to choose one of these women to be your wife, which one would you pick?"

At this moment, an extra who was on good terms with me asked...

Zhang Ze smiled and shook his head, saying, "I won't choose either of them. I don't like this type."

"So what type do you like?"

Several female celebrities flashed through Zhang Ze's mind, but he shook his head and didn't say anything!

They were extras and didn't know what the scene was about.

We were all directed by the assistant director on set, and we just stood wherever needed as a background.

Soon, filming began for the main shots of the scene.

The film begins with the main actors drinking and joking around in a bar booth.

Then a few perverts took a liking to the female lead and started groping her.

The main cast and the villains start fighting.

Zhang Ze and his group of extras playing internal security guards came on stage to maintain order.

The other extras playing bar customers started running outside.

The plot and scenes are very clichéd.

The main cast of actors were all young, and both the male and female actors were quite good-looking, but Zhang Ze was certain that he had never seen these actors on television before.

Zhang Ze had a feeling about how to position himself so as not to block the lead actor while still being captured by the camera.

In two consecutive shoots, he was able to quickly rush from the crowd of extras to the male lead's side and stop him from continuing to hit people.

"Hey... those two extras!"

"You fucking dragged the second male lead out of the frame, can't we even film anymore? If we can't film, get lost."

After two takes, actors were out of frame, and the director angrily cursed.

The next scene will be filmed where the cast is beaten up by the bar's security guards.

The scene was chaotic, and the assistant director didn't even tell the two extras who should hit someone.

Zhang Ze then singled out the male lead and beat him up.

He knew that the male lead would definitely have shots and close-ups.

The closer you are to the male lead, the more screen time you get.

After filming twice, the male lead suddenly had a whim and suggested to the director that they film a series of close-ups of himself being beaten up to show his professionalism.

This is not a martial arts film, and the crew did not have a martial arts director or stunt double.

The task of playing the main character naturally fell to Zhang Ze.

Otherwise, the two scenes we just filmed would have been a waste of time.

Previously, we filmed group fights, and the fighting was very casual; only the main character had to put in a lot of effort.

Now, when you take it out for a close-up shot, you need to use your acting skills.

Because the camera will capture Zhang Ze's face.

To this end, the director personally pulled Zhang Ze and the male lead aside to carefully study the fight sequence.

I don't know the director's name, but he's a big fat guy weighing over 200 pounds, over 1.8 meters tall, with long hair and an artistic air about him.

Acting depends on luck and talent.

This statement is absolutely true.

Zhang Ze was originally an extra, but he got the role because he subconsciously got close to the male lead.

She was forced to have more screen time by the male lead, becoming a minor extra.

This is a fight scene, although it's not a standard martial arts action scene, it's definitely a real fight scene.

To show he wasn't a coward, the male protagonist fought back and exchanged blows with Zhang Ze several times, but was eventually knocked to the ground by a bottle and never got up again.

This scene was filmed three times in total. The director, sitting in front of the monitor, nodded in satisfaction, indicating that he was very pleased with the two actors' performances.

The director pointed to Zhang Ze in the shot and said to the people around him.

"Look at this kid's expression. Although his face isn't contorted, he just has a fierce look to it."

"This kid actually has some acting skills; it's a shame he's just a background actor."

The people surrounding the director whispered among themselves.

The assistant director whispered a suggestion, "Director, we have a character in our film who's a bartender who harasses the barmaids. We could try casting this kid."

"We just added a fight scene for him today, so adding this character's scenes to him can enrich the character's story."

"You mean the one who got killed for harassing the bar girl? Let me think," the director said, frowning thoughtfully.

"Okay, we'll do it your way and give him that role." The director thought for a moment and then made his decision.

Upon hearing the director's decision, the assistant director immediately called over the group leader.

"Qiang, have this young man under you come again tomorrow. There's a special job for him."

"Okay, I'll thank the director and assistant director on his behalf. I'll definitely keep his schedule open for him tomorrow." Brother Qiang smiled and readily agreed.

Around 6 p.m., the film crew began to wrap up.

A group of extras and girls from the bar's atmosphere crew walked noisily out of the studio.

While queuing to collect the appearance fee, the group leader, Brother Qiang, handed over 500 yuan.

Zhang Ze was not surprised, knowing that the scene he added today would be paid according to the special contract.

The group leader, Qiang Ge, patted Zhang Ze on the shoulder and said...

"Zhang, you've really impressed me today!"

"I didn't expect you to be such a good actor. If there are any special roles for you in the future, I'll save them for you. Work hard, and you won't suffer if you follow Brother Qiang."

"It's all thanks to Brother Qiang and the director that I got the opportunity!" Zhang Ze replied modestly.

"You've got a way with words, kid! I'm not kidding."

"I asked the director to get you a small role today, it's kind of a special guest appearance. You can continue working on this set tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Qiang and Director. I'll come again tomorrow."

Zhang Ze understood what Qiang Ge meant; he wanted Zhang Ze to remember a favor he owed him.

Hailing from Shandong Province, he was exposed to etiquette and social etiquette from a young age.

He never clashed with matters of social etiquette and interpersonal relationships!

Just give it to him.
