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

Major bank robbery?

Yi Zheng's lips twitched slightly.

We live in an era of ubiquitous surveillance; even going downstairs to buy a jianbing (Chinese crepe) requires scanning a QR code to pay.

These days, who would dare to rob a bank?

Could it be that a fellow film crew was shooting a police thriller and a passerby mistakenly posted it online for publicity?

No, that title was in blue with white text, like an official announcement.

and many more!

Urban village?

There are only two banks in the urban village: one ICBC and one credit union.

My salary card is in the credit union!

Thinking of this, he quickly clicked on the video.

The screen suddenly jumped.

In the video, the police cordon was stretched out for a long time, and the red and blue flashing lights were so bright that they made people dizzy.

The dilapidated two-story building in the background, and that green signboard.

as predicted.

It's the credit union where I deposit my money!

The camera cut to the scene of the impromptu press conference.

Director Wei bowed deeply to the camera.

"The Municipal Public Security Bureau bears an unshirkable responsibility for this heinous incident. I apologize to the public and solemnly promise that the police will do everything in their power, sparing no expense, to solve this case!"

The camera cuts to the next scene.

The on-location host, microphone in hand, stood outside the cordon and spoke rapidly.

"According to the latest information from this station, the perpetrators in this robbery were armed."

"During the firefight, a female police officer in our city was unfortunately shot and has been sent to the intensive care unit for treatment."

"In addition, some depositors have reported to this station that their account balances have been abnormally depleted, and the police have intervened to investigate..."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng was taken aback.

"What the hell?! My balance can disappear?!"

Just then, my phone chimed.

A text message notification suddenly popped up at the top of the screen.

Holy crap!

The sudden noise startled Yi Zheng so much that he jumped right out of bed.

"My hard-earned money!"

He frantically swiped the screen open.

It's over.

That paycheck was earned thanks to the Imperial Army!

He opened the text message with trembling hands.

[A deposit of RMB 100,000.00 has been made into your savings card account ending in 8721. Recipient's name: Finance Department of the "Battle of Jiangnan" film crew.]

call--

He exhaled a long breath and forcefully fell back onto the soft bed.

"Thank goodness, the money is still there."

Looking at that long string of numbers on the screen.

"Not only are they still there, but there are even more of them."

I didn't expect Director Ning to be so generous; he actually settled the bill in one go.

He happily locked his phone, and the image of the policewoman who had been shot, mentioned in the news, involuntarily popped into his mind.

Yi Zheng pursed his lips and put his hands behind his head.

"If that policewoman really died, I believe she would still choose to take the civil service exam even in the afterlife."

After all, the end of the universe is the system.

……

Cicadas, cicadas...

It's almost July.

Perhaps it's the unbearable heat, but the cicadas in Hengdian are waking up even earlier.

As soon as it was just getting light, it started barking incessantly.

I never imagined that the ones who are made of cattle and horses would be so much more cunning than the ones who are made of cicada

Hengdian, the filming location for the TV series "De Xian".

Yi Zheng sat in front of the mirror in the dressing room early on.

Today is the finale of "Enjoy Your Leisure".

This was also the last scene of his character, Okawara, in this production.

With the plot reaching this point, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Xiao Rizi naturally suffered a complete defeat.

Okawara fled in panic with the box in his arms, ultimately meeting the end of his sinful life.

Because the battle was extremely fierce, the battle damage makeup at Ōkawara required an extremely complicated process.

Soil, blood, charred marks, and the need to create that sense of utter despair at the end of the road.

The makeup artist will spend two or three hours working on his face, which is why Yi Zheng arrived so early today.

Of course, this is only the superficial reason.

What truly motivated him to get up before dawn was the completion of filming and the settlement of accounts!

Thinking about the huge sum of 800,000 yuan that was about to be deposited into his account, Yi Zheng barely slept a wink all night last night.

In the dressing room.

The makeup artist, holding a powder puff, looked at Yi Zheng's two enormous dark circles in the mirror and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Teacher Yi, you've really gone all out for this role! Those dark circles under your eyes look so natural, you've perfectly captured the exhaustion of Okawara after his defeat, you didn't even need to use concealer!"

Yi Zheng chuckled twice, his gaze shifting slightly.

"Hehe, of course, it's all for art."

He muttered to himself.

As expected, once someone becomes famous, whatever they do is right.

Even staying up all night gets you praised!

It was a little after eight in the morning.

The filming location has been set up.

Director Kong Sheng sat in a folding chair behind the monitor, twirling a string of shiny Bodhi seeds in his hand.

He had his favorite Beijing-style fermented mung bean juice in his mouth.

He lowered his head and took a sip.

That sour, rancid smell hit me right in the head.

Kong Sheng closed his eyes, savoring the moment with a look of pure enjoyment.

In the past few days, Director Kong's mood has been improving day by day, like the sun breaking through the clouds.

Even the number of times he swears on set has decreased dramatically.

He has such a gentle temper, it's hard to believe he's the infamous tyrant on set.

The reason is none other than Yi Zheng.

This guy went to participate in an anti-terrorism drill a few days ago, and somehow managed to get on several local trending topics just by playing a villain.

In the end, they even managed to inexplicably ride the coattails of the Siberian tiger's popularity!

Although he was just a villainous second male lead.

But in today's era where traffic is king, popularity is equivalent to real box office revenue!

Kong Sheng was carefully calculating in his mind as he strung the skewers together.

Putting box office aside, the production team only spent two million to sign such a darling who naturally attracts attention, and the investors were overjoyed!

Once the movie is released in theaters, it will be time for nationwide promotion.

There's no need for those fancy marketing tactics.

Just put Yi Zheng on the stage, and that's the key to generating traffic, which means tons of money!

Thinking of this, Kong Sheng slurped down the rest of the bean juice in one gulp.

"Ah~"

He smacked his lips in satisfaction and let out an extremely pleasant sigh.

The assistant director, who was standing to the side, was quick to notice and immediately came over.

"Oh, Director Wei, your timing for drinking douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) is getting more and more amazing!"

"Look, just as you swallowed that last bite, all the teams were perfectly ready to take their positions! Haha, amazing!"

Kong Sheng stopped making his prayer beads and glanced at him sideways.

"I think it's because you timed it so well."

The assistant director's chubby face twitched twice, and he quickly waved his hand.

"No way, Director Kong!"

"It's not that I'm lagging behind, it's the scene crew. They spent the whole night burying the detonators, and they just finished testing!"

"There were so many explosions for this scene, the guys didn't sleep all night!"

Kong Sheng looked away and threw the empty paper cup into the trash can next to him.

He grabbed a tissue from the side and wiped his mouth.

"Okay, fine."

He stood up from his chair and grabbed the megaphone from the table.

"Attention all departments!"

"All teams in position, ready to power on!"
