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

"Old Qin, is this what you call professionalism?"

"Ah, this..." Captain Qin was already dissatisfied when he saw that Kong Sheng hadn't even started the audition yet.

The sweat on his forehead rolled down his forehead.

"Director Kong, take another look. These are all formally trained professionals with solid fundamentals!"

"Basic skills?"

Kong Sheng slammed the script onto the table.

"Looking at them one by one, they have no chicken-eating skills!"

"One or two of them, with eyes as clear as a child's."

The Japanese devils were capable of killing people!

That ruthless aura can't be faked by just eating a peach!

Upon hearing this, the three young actors on stage exchanged glances, their faces turning extremely grim.

The leader, still unconvinced, muttered in defense, "Director, I think my gaze was pretty fierce..."

"ruthless?"

Kong was so angry he almost jumped up.

If Li Sisi hadn't been live-streaming, he would have loved to go up there and give this kid a good whack!

"You're kind of cute when you're being ruthless!"

Kong Sheng grabbed his water glass and took a big gulp. He was really trying his best to suppress his anger in front of Li Sisi's live-streaming camera.

When Captain Qin saw this, he bent over like a shrimp with a broken spine.

"Director Kong, calm down, calm down... They're still kids, this is their first time acting in such a big production..."

Seeing this, the assistant director quickly came up to put out the fire.

He kept making hand gestures behind his back.

He signaled to the stagehands to quickly take the three of them away.

And seeing this scene.

Yi Zheng thought that the three people in front of him had finished their auditions and it was his turn to go on stage.

Without much thought, he stepped onto the stage with slightly stiff steps.

The "creepy aura" attributed to me by the system has always been passively activated.

Although Yi Zheng had no expression on his face at the moment, his inherent temperament, coupled with his ill-fitting Eighth Route Army uniform, made him look like a traitor who had infiltrated the revolutionary ranks.

"stop!"

The assistant director, who was looking for a place to vent his anger, saw Yi Zheng, an extra, bump into him recklessly and immediately started cursing.

"Who are you? Who let you in? Can't you see the director is furious?"

"Get off! Which group are you from? Don't you know the rules?"

The assistant director cursed while turning to Kong Sheng with a fawning smile.

"Director Kong, I'm sorry, but the extras these days are getting more and more unruly. I'll kick him out right now."

Kong Sheng was about to wave him away, but the moment his gaze fell on Yi Zheng, his eyelids twitched.

hiss.

Something's not right.

This young man...

They were wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms.

But one glance at it and it looks like an animal!

"No! Wait a minute!"

Kong Sheng made a gesture towards Yi Zheng.

"Come on, you try being a Japanese soldier."

"ah??"

Yi Zheng was also taken aback.

No, didn't we agree that I would play a member of the Eighth Route Army?

Why did they suddenly switch to the Japanese?

Seeing this, Team Leader Qin was so anxious that he jumped up and down in the audience, waving his hands repeatedly.

"Director Kong! This won't do! This kid... he's never studied acting, he's just coasting along!"

Kong Sheng completely ignored Team Leader Qin.

Which group are you in?

Before Yi Zheng could answer, Captain Qin stepped forward and interrupted again.

"Director Kong, he... he's just a nobody extra! Our second male lead has an incredibly important role! If we let him play it, we can't explain it to the investors!"

Seeing that Kong Sheng remained unmoved.

Team Leader Qin had no choice but to confess.

"The key point is, Director Kong, he walks with the same leg position as his opponent!"

As soon as he said that, the entire shed fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, several stagehands and staff members nearby could no longer hold back and burst out laughing.

"Oh? It was him!"

"The King of Turns in Hengdian? I've heard so much about you!"

Whispers and suppressed laughter rose and fell instantly.

The live stream chat immediately exploded with comments.

[Holy crap! Case solved! The source of the Hengdian 'walking in circles' phenomenon has been found!]

[Hilarious! One extra led all the extras in Hengdian to go astray? What kind of talent is this?]

[The director asked him to audition for the second male lead? Really? Casting someone with a limp as the lead Japanese soldier?]

[Stop kidding, this guy is alright looking, but do you play villains just because of your looks?]

[Exactly, his demeanor is similar to those three pretty boys. Playing a Japanese soldier? Does he even have that kind of ruthlessness?]

Looking at the comments on the screen, Li Sisi felt a surge of anticipation rising from the bottom of her heart.

After all, she clearly remembered the chilling sensation that had come from behind her in the corridor just now.

That kind of energy is something an ordinary extra can't fake.

At this moment, the assistant director also moved closer to Kong Sheng and lowered his voice.

"Director Kong, the Japanese soldier's role is too significant, appearing throughout the entire film. Isn't it too risky to cast an extra in it?"

Kong Sheng interrupted the assistant director impatiently.

"If you could find the right person, would I be wasting my time here with these three pretty boys?"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Yi Zheng.

"Go, take him to the dressing room."

Before Yi Zheng could react, two crew members grabbed him from both sides and carried him to the dressing room.

As soon as he left, the chatter in the shed started again.

"Director Kong is being too stubborn this time, really sending an extra?"

"Just watch, they're going to get a real dressing down in no time."

"Director Kong is probably too embarrassed to scold the professional actors, so he's trying to get back at the extras!"

The doubts in the comments section grew louder and louder.

[Back in the day, Chen Kaige's portrayal of the Japanese soldier was so convincing that one look from him made you want to disappear into the ground. Can this young man pull it off?]

Stop trying to piggyback on the veteran actor's fame; he's lucky if he can even deliver his lines smoothly.

[Waiting for a major disaster; Director Kong's mouth is notoriously sharp.]

……

In the dressing room, it was still that intern makeup artist.

She was stunned when she received the notification.

Isn't this a newly drawn Eighth Route Army map?

How come they were changed to Japanese after only taking two steps on stage?

The makeup artist held Yi Zheng's face in her hands, straightened it in the mirror, and examined it carefully.

hiss……

While he might not be considered a pretty boy, he's still quite handsome.

Didn't the director say we shouldn't do it like this?

Why the sudden change of taste?

That makes sense, though. When I was doing Yi Zheng's Eighth Route Army makeup, I always felt something was off!

Maybe this guy has a unique charisma?

With that thought in mind, she didn't have time to think about anything else.

Director Kong Sheng is known for his short temper.

If this were done according to the usual standards, taking half an hour to do the makeup, I would definitely get scolded.

In no time at all, the intern helped Yi Zheng change his clothes.

Then I pressed him into a chair, picked up a powder puff and eyebrow pencil, and started applying them to his face.

Everything seemed so rushed and haphazard.

And just as she finished attaching her mustache...

next second.

Everyone in the dressing room was stunned.

This included the assistant director urging them on at the door, and several staff members watching the commotion.

Everyone gasped in shock.

hiss……

This is insane!

Is this even human?!
