China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 1 Back to 1999 as an extra

"I crossed!"

In the dark and damp basement, Lin Xuan opened his eyes and sat up from the mattress with complicated emotions.

After several hours of absorption and digestion, he finally merged perfectly with the memory of this body.

In his previous life, he was also named Lin Xuan, and he was a middle-aged social worker who lived a nonstop life every day.

After drinking last night, I complained to my friends that life was too boring right now. As a result, when I woke up, I was transported back to 1999 with this young extravaganza with the same name.

Lin Xuan's thoughts moved slightly, and a translucent light curtain appeared in front of his eyes.

[The all-in-one film and television system is about to be launched, current progress: (9970/10000)]

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the system did not run away.

The original owner was considered a lucky man. Although he was born in a mountainous area in the south and came from a poor family, he suddenly awakened to the omnipotent film and television system when he was 16 years old.

Because to activate the system, he needed to earn a salary of 1 yuan through acting, so he decisively gave up his studies and came to Beijing alone to work as an extra.

This has been going on for two years. Regardless of the wind and sun, the cold winter or the heat, he gritted his teeth and persevered. Seeing that the system was about to be turned on, he did not expect an accident.

Yesterday, I was supposed to be filming an underwater scene. I soaked in the water for several hours in the cold weather of the twelfth lunar month. I got a high fever when I returned to the basement that night.

No one among the extras in the shared apartment cared about him. Only an underage child noticed his abnormality and bought him antipyretic medicine to drink.

It's a pity that the original owner was too weak to make it through, and fell before the dawn of dawn, letting Lin Xuan get a big advantage in vain.

Not only did I get a young and handsome body, but it also came with a film and television system that was about to be launched. It was such a huge kindness that I couldn't repay.

"I will take care of your relatives here, but you will have to worry about the car loan and housing loan over there."

Lin Xuan pulled out a small mirror and kowtowed three times to "him" in the mirror.

…………

There was no bathroom in the shared basement, so Lin Xuan took the washbasin and went to the public restroom dozens of meters away to wash up. He happened to meet the kind extravaganza on the way.

"Brother, you're awake."

The man was short, with a shaved head. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he had a silly smile.

Damn, stay strong!
Lin Xuan was surprised. He didn't expect that the first "acquaintance" he met after traveling through time was actually him.

"I'm awake, thank you. By the way, how much is that bottle of medicine? I'll pay it back to you later."

"We are all roommates, so you're welcome." Wang Baoqiang waved his hand nonchalantly, and then said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that bottle of antipyretic medicine to be so effective. The fever disappeared overnight. I'll buy a few bottles later. On."

Well, the effect was pretty good, even the sick people were sent away.

But without his magical touch, it's still unclear whether Lin Xuan could have traveled through time. He had to find a way to repay this favor.

"Then I'll go wash up first and treat you to breakfast later."

After saying that, Lin Xuan walked towards the public restroom.

Looking at the retreating figure, Wang Baoqiang frowned.

He always felt that Lin Xuan was a little weird today, a little different from before.

………………

It was just after five o'clock in the morning, the sky was dark and the wind was biting.

"It's really cold in the north. The temperature is still so low after the New Year."

Lin Xuan bundled up her clothes and went out to buy breakfast, regretting not wearing two more pieces.

"Boss, six meat buns and two bags of milk."

"Hey, I won't eat steamed buns today."

"Haha, let's improve the food occasionally."

The original owner lived a very frugal life and was very picky about food and drink.

Breakfast is basically two steamed buns and a bottle of water, lunch is served on the set, and water noodles are eaten for dinner.

Lin Xuan couldn't survive this kind of life. One day's nutrition was not enough.

Of all the things in the world, a drop in the ocean can only be lived up to by food, beautiful scenery and beauties.

He wouldn't treat his stomach badly just to save money.

After buying breakfast, Lin Xuan followed Wang Baoqiang to the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio.

There are already many extras here who are waiting for work, all of them are yawning and looking haggard.

"morning!"

Lin Xuan greeted a few familiar extras from memory, then leaned against the corner and slid out the system panel.

[The all-in-one film and television system is about to be launched, current progress: (9970/10000)]

Still 30 points left!
If nothing else happens, the system can be turned on after receiving the salary today.Lin Xuan was secretly happy, closed the panel, took out the bun and took a bite.

Pork and leek filling, so delicious!
Before I finished eating the buns, an old crew bus drove towards here.

This group of people stood up and ran towards the bus as if the machine was suddenly activated.

"Brother, let's go!" Wang Baoqiang urged.

"coming!"

Lin Xuan stuffed the last bite of the bun into his mouth, stood up, dusted off his butt and ran towards the bus.

The bus stopped and a fat man wearing a black down jacket got out of the bus.

Lin Xuan took a closer look, with a surprise smile on his face, pulled Wang Baoqiang over and whispered: "I know these leaders, they will act according to my eyes."

After saying that, he left the crowd and ran towards the breakfast shop not far away.

The leader of the group got out of the car and shouted with a loudspeaker: "An anti-Japanese drama, to play the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese, requires forty people. Don't be too old, and don't want those who look crooked."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people crowded forward crazily, promoting themselves as they did so.

"Brother, I have five years of acting experience."

"Brother, I am a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple and have studied kung fu for ten years."

"Brother, I am 1.8 meters tall and good-looking."

The leader of the group frowned and shouted: "Get back, don't stand in front, line up in two lines and wait for me to pick."

The extras who were originally huddled together immediately lined up in two rows, looking at the group leader with what they thought were pretty smiles, like small animals looking forward to being picked out by their masters.

Lin Xuan arrived late after buying breakfast and squeezed his way to the front of the crowd.

"Brother Yang, you got up so early, have you eaten?"

"What are you eating? I haven't slept well yet."

"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat breakfast. The steamed buns are hot right out of the oven."

"I'm really hungry when you say that."

Liu Yang took the breakfast and patted him on the shoulder.

The two are old acquaintances, and the original owner ran dozens of groups under him.

Because he is handsome, doesn't get into trouble, and speaks nicely, whenever Liu Yang comes to Beijing Film Studio to recruit extras, he will be brought along.

"Brother Yang, this is my little brother Wang Baoqiang. He is half a fellow villager with you. We are both from Hebei Province. Please take care of me in the future."

Lin Xuan pulled Wang Baoqiang over and gave him a wink.

"Hello, Brother Yang." Wang Baoqiang understood and took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.

"Okay, I'll remember it." Liu Yang took the cigarette and clamped it to his ears, "You two go up first, it's very cold outside."

"Thank you, Brother Yang."

"Thank you bro."

The two of them boarded the bus and found a seat in the front row by the window.

"Brother Xuan, thank you."

Wang Baoqiang was very excited. When he saw someone entering the set through the back door, he didn't say anything but cursed in his heart.

Today it was his turn to realize that it felt really good to go through the back door.

"You're welcome, go somewhere and perform well, don't cause trouble to others."

"Brother, don't worry, I will perform well."

A few minutes later, Liu Yang selected the group performers and got in the car to set off. As usual, he also explained the rules for joining the group.

For example, when you get to the set, don't run around, don't touch the set's things, act well during filming, don't make mischief, don't steal the spotlight...

Anyone who has been a group actor several times will know these rules very well. Even Wang Baoqiang here is an experienced actor who has been in the industry for half a year.

After Liu Yang finished speaking, the car gradually became quiet.

We came to Beijing Film Studio at five o'clock and got up at 04:30. Everyone was going to take advantage of this time to catch up on some sleep.

Not only did Lin Xuan not feel sleepy, he was also very excited.

He looked through the glass window at the streets of Beijing in 1999, filled with longing for the future.

　Brothers, I'm back!
　　The internal investment of the work is successful, collect and recommend investment, and you will make a profit without losing money!
