Playing the Eighth Route Army, the system is forcing this on me?

At the entrance of a war drama production crew at Hengdian World Studios.

Yi was standing at the back of the long line of extras, the early summer sun making him sweat profusely.

"Damn system!"

Yi Zheng muttered to himself.

"Does it really have to be performed 800 times to activate it? And for these last few performances, they insist on having us play Eighth Route Army soldiers. Don't they know that the Eighth Route Army has the longest queue?"

Yi Zheng wiped the large beads of sweat from his forehead.

He turned to look at another group of people beside him, which had very few members.

That's the team recruiting Japanese soldiers as extras.

Yi Zheng glanced at his colleagues over there and sighed.

Hey.

Although the team there is shorter, the daily wage is a bit higher than that of the Eighth Route Army extras.

But as a Chinese, Yi Zheng still couldn't quite let go of this sense of dignity deep down.

He could never play a Japanese soldier.

He wants to play a real soldier from the Chinese nation!

Japanese devils? I'll never play a Japanese devil in my life!

"Yi Zheng?!"

While I was queuing, I heard someone call my name from behind.

The group leader in charge of registration was strolling around the line when he saw Yi Zheng and almost shouted it out.

"Why is it you again?"

"Get out! Get out, get out, get out!"

The team leader strode forward, intending to pull Yi Zheng out of the group.

Seeing that the other party was trying to coax him away, Yi Zheng quickly stepped forward and offered him a cigarette.

As a veteran extra who has spent years in Hengdian, I am already familiar with the rules.

This time, however, the cigarette offered was forcefully pushed back.

"Damn it, you still have the nerve to queue up?" The tour leader forcefully pushed the cigarette that was shoved into his arms back.

Seeing this, Yi Zheng grabbed the other person's wrists with both hands and pushed the cigarette further into the other person's arms.

"Captain Qin, Hua Zi, here you go!"

"Besides, I just walk a little out of step, it's not a big deal, is it?"

Team Leader Qin's lips twitched.

"Yes, it's not a serious problem."

"In just three days, you've ruined six groups! And a few others who were sent down the ditch are still in the hospital!"

"You still have the nerve to queue up?"

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Team Leader Qin waved his hand, about to pull Yi Zheng out of the team.

Back then, when they took two packs of cigarettes from Yi Zheng and promised to let him have his fill of Eighth Route Army service, he didn't believe them at the time.

It's just a matter of walking with the same foot forward or backward.

These extras don't need to be on camera. They can just stand at a distance and blend into the crowd, right?

The results of it?

Three days!

Only three days!

The entire Hengdian World Studios has been tamed by Yi Zheng!

This spread of the virus by the same direction of movement is incredibly fast!

The reason why the registration line for extras is so long now is because the higher-ups have realized that they can no longer recruit extras who are not good at choreographing!

Now is not the time to collect Hua Zi.

The person recruiting this time is Director Kong Sheng!

Director Kong has been quite frustrated these past few days because he can't find a suitable Japanese actor to play the lead role.

That temper of his is notoriously bad in the industry.

If I bring Yi Zheng in now, I might end up influencing the Japanese extras as well.

He couldn't sit still in his position as the leader of the extras!

Thinking of this, Captain Qin pushed Hua Zi forcefully into Yi Zheng's arms.

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

"You think you can play the Eighth Route Army soldier with your footing all the time? Give me two more packs of cigarettes and I won't take them, you think..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The two carts that were pushed out became four carts that were pushed back.

Ah this...

Team Leader Qin swallowed hard.

He looked around and pulled Yi Zheng aside.

"Yi Zheng, you know what, there really is a Eighth Route Army role for you. You don't have to walk around, and you even have lines to deliver!"

With words?

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng immediately perked up.

In the past few years, I have played 799 extra roles.

But he didn't say a single word!

Sure enough, there's nothing in Hengdian that two Chinese cigarettes can't handle.

If so, then add two more!

He did spend a lot of money, but he was going all out to complete the system task.

After performing the last show and waiting for the system to activate, he can perform whatever he wants.

At that time, you might not only be able to play a common soldier, but also a general!

Along with several other actors, he followed Captain Qin all the way to the film set.

Kong Sheng stood there with his arms crossed, looking worried.

Filming for "Leisure" has been underway for half a month.

Everything else went relatively smoothly.

But the lead actor, a Japanese actor, has yet to be cast.

He didn't dare let the investors know about this.

These days, with a bad economy, it's already difficult to attract investment.

If the investors find out that they can't even find a Japanese actor to play the lead role, they'll definitely withdraw their investment.

But now, the actor market is full of pretty boys like Sher.

Using that thing to play Japanese soldiers is inappropriate.

They all lack both acting skills and charisma.

Some can't even memorize their lines; they can only recite 1234567!

The shelves were all getting bigger and bigger.

This left Confucius in a state of utter chaos.

After all, the fact that the actors weren't all available couldn't be kept secret for long.

Team Leader Qin brought the person to the film set.

When Kong Sheng saw Qin leading his men over, he questioned them from afar with a displeased expression.

"Old Qin, are these enough to fill bags?"

Team Leader Qin beamed, "It's all taken care of, Director Kong!"

"I'm the leader of a group of extras, can I mentor some new recruits for you?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him.

"These three are all graduates of the Central Academy of Drama! Professionally speaking!"

Seeing Qin patting his chest confidently, Kong Sheng couldn't help but shake his head.

"I hope so. Go do your makeup."

Yi was following behind the three people.

As he passed by Kong Sheng, Kong Sheng glanced at Yi Zheng.

After reading it, I shook my head and sighed inwardly.

These extras are good-looking, but they're not from a professional acting background. You can tell at a glance they lack talent and aren't good enough for the stage.

However, he wasn't too picky about extras.

After all, he had heard that recently, all the extras had somehow started walking with the same steps on the wrong feet.

Given that my own production team is short on funds, it's already a miracle that I was able to find anyone!

The group arrived at the dressing room.

Team Leader Qin handed Yi Zheng over to an intern makeup artist and went to work on the other three actors.

Judging from the way he just patted his chest and made a promise, if the director doesn't approve of these three this time, given the director's recent fiery temper, he'll be in deep trouble.

So he was busy with all sorts of things, personally helping the three actors try on clothes and giving instructions to the makeup artist.

Hopefully, this will at least improve their image.

Meanwhile, on Yi Zheng's side, the newly arrived intern makeup artist was in a flurry of activity.

I finally managed to find a set of clothes that didn't quite fit me and put them on.

They even took the wrong leg wrappings from the Eighth Route Army and put the Japanese leg wrappings on them.

Yi Zheng picked up the contract from the dressing table, read it, and signed it.

As expected, just as Captain Qin had assured, there was a reason behind it.

Unfortunately, it was just that one sentence.

Even though it's only two words, it's alright, at least I'm a character with lines now.

And since it's the last show, all I need to do after the performance is complete the system task.

And just as the intern makeup artist finished applying his makeup in a flurry of activity...

A crisp, mechanical sound rang in Yi Zheng's mind.

【Ding! 】

[The host has been matched and is currently playing a Japanese soldier.]

[New player gift packs are being distributed...]

I heard the voice in my head.

Yi Zheng was taken aback!

No?

Am I not a member of the Eighth Route Army?

Before I could even react, there was another "ding" sound!

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the passive skill: Proficiency in the Island Language!]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the passive skill: Sleazy Charm!]

[Passive skill has been automatically activated!]
