As she did last time, she still found a body that was willing to exchange terms with her and then figured out a way to get closer to the target.

The target of this world is Shen Yuchuan, an actor who is famous for his acting skills and self-cleanliness.

Right now, Shen Yuchuan is making a movie on the set and he is the protagonist.

At this moment, Jiang Rui is lying at the feet of the protagonist, acting as a corpse.

In the scorching heat of summer, the scorching sun makes people wilt.

Jiang Rui was wearing a dusty ancient costume, holding a lunch box in one hand and a huge thermos in the other, looking for a place to escape the heat.

“Xiao You!”

Suddenly someone called her, she turned her head and looked around to see who the other party was and a bright smile suddenly appeared on her slightly faint face.

“Sister Zhao.” She ran over.

Sister Zhao sat in the shade of the tree and moved aside to make room for her.

“How is it? You didn’t get sunburnt today, right?”

“No, it’s not very hot in the morning.”

“Isn’t it hot yet?” Sister Zhao was speechless, “I think you have been lying on the ground all morning, even the barbecue will be cooked.”

Jiang Rui was amused by her.

This is the set of the movie “The Way of the Chivalry”. She is an extra and she played a corpse in it, the kind that doesn’t even have a face.

In the morning, the main character was being chased and killed. There was a series of martial arts scenes. After filming many times, the director was not very satisfied. As a corpse, she could only lie on the ground all morning.

“What relieving heat soup did you bring today?” Sister Zhao asked.

Jiang Rui hurriedly opened the thermos cup, “Lotus leaf hawthorn tea is refreshing and thirst-quenching and I heard that it can also lose weight.” She filled the lid of the thermos cup, handed it to Sister Zhao, and held the cup directly to drink.

The heat-relieving tea was brewed last night, frozen overnight in the refrigerator, and poured into a thermos in the morning, and now it still feels cool to drink.

In summer, the mineral water is warmed by the sun. Drinking it will not quench people’s thirst at all and it will not be able to arouse their appetite to eat. At this time, taking a sip of the cold and sweet soup for relieving summer heat not only activates the taste buds but also stimulates the whole body. Cool and refreshing from the inside out.

Since the beginning of summer, Jiang Rui has been preparing her own heat-relieving tea. Using this method, she successfully won the favor of Sister Zhao, the leader of the group, towards her.

Her body name this time is Xia Xiaoyou, an orphan who grew up in an orphanage with her ex-boyfriend Joey.

Joey had a star dream and Xia Xiaoyou followed him to various studios. The two have been acting as extras for several years. Because they have no personal connections and their appearance is not very outstanding, they have never been able to mix up.

A few months ago, Joey climbed up to a female editor, turned his head, and dumped Xia Xiaoyou. Now, he is acting as the male third in an idol drama.

Xia Xiaoyou could not accept the blow, so she cut her wrist and committed suicide.

Her wish is for Joey to be poor all his life and never be able to become a star.

After Jiang Rui accepted her body, she chose to continue acting as a group performer.

Her goal is to get closer to the actor Shen Yuchuan. If she goes elsewhere, the possibility of meeting him will be even smaller.

Although an extra actor is far from the Movie King, even if they are on the same set, trying to strike up a conversation is no less than a foolish dream. But Jiang Rui is not in a hurry, the last thing she lacks is patience.

Sister Zhao is a well-known group leader in this film and television base. She has a good relationship with many actors and assistant directors of the crew. She is by far the biggest network Jiang Rui can get on.

“Comfortable!” Sister Zhao drank all the heat-relieving tea in one gulp, “It’s still Xiaoyou, you are flexible and know to bring these cool things, otherwise the two of us will become quail like the others.”

Jiang Rui smiled and poured her another glass, “Sister Zhao, drink more.”

The two whetted their appetites, and even if they faced the shabby boxed lunch, they could still eat with relish.

It’s lunch break now, and the crew’s equipment has stopped working. Everyone had eaten and was about to find a cool place to take a nap when they suddenly heard an angry shout.

“Let her go! Do you want to act or not!”

Jiang Rui and Sister Zhao looked at each other, stopped talking and laughing, and pricked their ears to listen.

The one who got angry was Chief Director Wang Qikun. A great director who is well-known both in the country and abroad. He is as famous as his talent for his bad temper. When filming, it is common to criticize actors for nothing and sometimes even old actors who have already become famous are not spared. But every movie he made was able to win all kinds of awards and the number of actors and actresses he won could not be counted on one hand. So even though he had a bad temper, there were still many actors who rushed to cooperate with him.

Jiang Rui listened for a while and got a general idea.

The movie “The Way of the Chivalry” is a man’s play with very few female characters in it. Even if they appear, there are only a few scenes and a few lines.

Even so, being able to cooperate with a great director and being able to act on the same stage with actor Shen Yuchuan, these two temptations still attracted many senior actresses. Many newcomers who have backers also want to show their face in it.

The producer just stuffed a pure newcomer into the group and determined her role to be a little peasant girl who saved the protagonist when he was hunted down and fell into a coma. There were only two shots and one line in total.

Originally, that scene was going to be filmed in the afternoon, but the newcomer temporarily said that she wanted to add a scene, otherwise she would not shoot.

She was probably spoiled by her gold master, or because she had just entered the entertainment industry and had never heard of Director Wang’s reputation. She was confident in making a request, but she accidentally stabbed a hornet’s nest1 and was kicked out of the set on the spot.

Director Wang’s anger could not be dissipated for a while and he is still cursing at the actor’s assistant director.

Sister Zhao listened for a while. Seeing that Director Wang had scolded enough, the actor’s assistant director walked out of the lounge listlessly. Then, she picked up her mobile phone to make a call and suddenly got up and walked over.

Jiang Rui did not know what the two of them said, but after a while, Sister Zhao turned her head and waved to Jiang Rui anxiously.

Jiang Rui quickly stood up and ran forward.

“Brother Ding, look, it’s her. The little girl is well-behaved and has an aura. Anyway, you can’t find anyone for a while now. Why don’t you take her to see Director Wang?” Sister Zhao pushed Jiang Rui in front of him.

The assistant director raised his eyes and looked at her up and down, “What’s your name?”

“Hello, Brother Ding, I am Xia Xiaoyou.” Jiang Rui smiled at him, a little reserved.

Seeing that the actor’s assistant director was still hesitating, Sister Zhao began to count Jiang Rui’s advantages again.

If this role was in an ordinary studio today, it would only be at the level of a small special actor.

A group performance is fifty yuan a day and a small special actor with one or two camera lines is one hundred yuan a day. There is not much difference between the two.

Therefore, Sister Zhao dared to fight for Jiang Rui.

Firstly, she has a good impression of this little girl. Secondly, if Jiang Rui is favored by Director Wang and will have better development in the future, it will be a connection for herself.

The assistant director was anxious and suffocated. Anyone who was scolded on a hot day would not be in a good mood. But Director Wang had a bad temper again and he insisted on filming that scene in the afternoon. He did not want to be delayed for a moment, forcing him to find someone right away.

He looked at Jiang Rui again, frowned, and nodded: “Okay, come with me to show Director Wang first. Be smarter for a while.”

“Thank you, Brother Ding! Thank you, Sister Zhao!” Jiang Rui said happily.

“Don’t be nervous, hold on.” Sister Zhao waved at her.

The assistant director took Jiang Rui to the outside of the lounge and asked her to wait outside. He went in for a while before coming out to let her in.

The air conditioner in the lounge was turned on very low and Jiang Rui shivered as soon as he entered the door.

There were quite a few people inside, all busy with their affairs. When they heard her coming, no one looked up curiously.

Director Wang was sitting on a reclining chair and Shen Yuchuan was sitting beside him. The two were holding the script and they should be discussing the plot.

This is Jiang Rui’s first time seeing Shen Yuchuan so closely since she has been in this world for so long.

He looked about thirty years old, with an impeccable face, not a masculine appearance, but a special temperament, which looked cold and expensive.

Like an ordinary person seeing a star, Jiang Rui took a second look at him, then remembered her current situation, quickly lowered her head, and stood there obediently.

“That’s her?” Director Wang looked up from the script and looked at Jiang Rui.

Hearing his voice, only then did the others in the lounge look at Jiang Rui.

Shen Yuchuan also raised his head and took a look, and soon focused on his script again.

With so many people’s attention all of a sudden, Jiang Rui showed a little at a loss, and said with a slightly trembling voice: “Hello, Director Wang, I’m Xia Xiaoyou.”

Wang Qikun has a bad temper, but he won’t get angry at a little girl for no reason. After looking at her for a while, he suddenly asked: “Smile and have a look.”

The role of the peasant girl, firstly, the actor’s face must be tender, and secondly, it must be naive, not very amazing, but it must give the audience a feeling of innocence and beauty.

Many actresses have good acting skills, but what Wang Qikun needs is not acting skills, but a pure and innocent temperament, which they can’t give, so he will choose a newcomer.

Xia Xiaoyou’s face wouldn’t surprise anyone at first glance, but it was an attractive one. Jiang Rui smiled nervously after listening to Director Wang’s request.

The smile was a bit stiff and uncharacteristic, but fortunately, the emotions hidden in those eyes: uneasy, innocent, and curious, fit the image of a country girl seeing a strange man.

Wang Qikun nodded in his heart, taking Jiang Rui as one of his considerations. He also wanted to see a few more people.

Even if it is a small role, he has to personally see the actor and make a careful choice. This is probably why he is so successful.

As he was about to let Jiang Rui go back to wait for the news, the phone of a staff member next to him suddenly rang. After a few words, he walked to Wang Qikun’s side with a bitter expression.

“Director Wang, it is Mr. Zheng’s call. He said that the capital injection that was originally negotiated may have to be reconsidered.”

Mr. Zheng is the backer behind the newcomer who has driven away just now. He wants to come back and cry.

Wang Qikun exploded at once, jumped up from the reclining chair, and walked back and forth like a raging lion, “Tell him, I didn’t get scared! Then who—”

He turned around abruptly and pointed at Jiang Rui, “It’s you! I’ll shoot this afternoon!”
