Dog Song said smugly, "That's right. I've been watching television for decades. Hehe, I've always dreamed of acting in a movie. I never expected my wish to come true this time. Haha! Look, these clothes were distributed by the production crew. They were rather dirty when they were distributed yesterday. I stayed up late to wash them and watched the stove dry them. How is it? Am I handsome? Do I have the bearing of a patient? I'm telling you, even if I was born in the wrong era, I would still be a hero in ancient times! "
Dog Song struck the pose of a hero.
But …
Pa!
"Dog Song, what are you bragging about? You are a hero? If you were in ancient times, you would be Shi Qian. "Wang Yougui slapped Dog Song's hat, sending it flying.
Dog Song hurriedly picked up the hat and blew the dust off it. He grinned and said, "That's still a hero of Liangshan. The Heavenly Constellations of Malevolence descended to the mortal world. You're a god!"
"Alright, alright. Hurry up and gather. If you continue bragging, be careful that the production crew kills you," said Wang Yougui with a smile.
Dog Song turned his head and indeed, everyone had gathered. He bade Fangzheng farewell and ran over to join in the fun.
Fangzheng smiled when he saw this scene. "Everyone is rather high-spirited."
"That's for sure. We are all TV addicts. Who wouldn't be happy to suddenly be able to act? Besides, it's not even spring yet. They are a bunch of idlers. Instead of visiting, chatting, bragging, and playing mahjong, being an extra could earn some money. Everyone is willing to come, "said Wang Yougui with a chuckle. Although the production crew had only been here for a few days, they had been living and eating in the village. The villagers had reaped quite a bit of benefits. Perhaps the money was not much, but as long as there was income, everyone was happy. It was especially so for the extras. Each actor was worth a hundred. That was not a small sum in the village. He had sworn to make the villagers rich when he was elected as village chief. Now that he had taken the first step in his long journey, he was naturally happier.
Fangzheng smiled. "That's right. Seeing how happy everyone is, This Penniless Monk is also curious. How is this movie filmed?"
"Then let's go take a look. As long as it's kept a secret, it shouldn't be a problem," said Wang Yougui.
Fangzheng was truly tempted. He got Lone Wolf to watch the house and Monkey to sweep the leaves while he joined the group to watch the fun.
While everyone was happy, someone was having a headache.
Director Yu looked at the group that without any actors, they would invite the villagers. He had no choice but to add a suicide squad on the spur of the moment. There weren't enough actors, so he could only invite the villagers.
With this in mind, Director Yu stood at a high vantage point and shouted with a megaphone, "Everyone, please be quiet. In a while, someone will tell you how to film. It will be specific to a specific person and a specific time. Let's do it. Let 'do it. Everyone.
"Alright. The villagers were excited. They all wanted to do it in one take and let the actors see that the villagers could also act.
Yu did not have any... over... It was difficult even for professional actors. These words were just to cheer everyone up so that they wouldn't cry too miserably when the scene repeated itself.
... Yu..... Yu....
At that moment, Lin Dongshi came over. He had a long face to begin with and now his face was even longer. He said bitterly, "Director, something has happened."
"What happened?" Director Yu furrowed his brows. They were about to start filming, and now something happened?
"The senior who was supposed to play the Sorrow of Eminent Monks suddenly had a cerebral infarction and was hospitalized. He couldn't make it. Moreover, from the looks of it, we have to replace him, "said Lin Dongshi.
"You want to change now? What could they use to exchange for him? Although there are many people who want to join the crew, you have to understand what day it is! Turn it on! The investors are already here. Are we going to tell them that we can't do it? "Director Yu almost roared.
"Why don't we find someone to replace him?" Lin Dongshi said bitterly. How could he be blamed for this? Who would have thought that a veteran actor would suddenly fall ill?
"Replace? Who will replace him? You? With that long face of yours, you'll be out of character immediately! The busier I am, the messier it gets … Go and call those who did well in the previous auditions. Whoever can make it here before noon today, hire them! "Director Yu said.
"I've already called the director. All of them are far away. Even a plane wouldn't make it," said Lin Dongshi.
"This won't do, that won't do … You want me to find an accomplished monk at this time … Accomplished … Aiyah, what accomplished monk!? Isn't there one right in front of us!? "Director Yu smacked his forehead as he jolted to his senses.
Lin Dongshi looked at One Finger Monastery and his eyes lit up. "Venerable Fangzheng, will you agree to it?"
"Just ask and you'll know. Besides, this is for filming. Furthermore, it's a movie with positive energy. That's a good thing," said Director Yu.
Lin Dongshi nodded and went to look for Fangzheng.
Fangzheng was easy to find. Lin Dongshi noticed a shiny bald head standing behind the crowd with a casual glance. There was no other way about it. Fangzheng was just too eye-catching. He was dressed in white and he had a halo of sunlight around him. No one could hide him no matter where he went. Lin Dongshi immediately ran over and said, "Venerable Fangzheng, are you interested in filming?"
"I'm indeed a little curious. Patron, is there something? If I can't watch it, This Penniless Monk will return. "Fangzheng did not have the habit of breaking the rules of others.
"No, no. You are an accomplished monk. If you are willing to watch, it would be our honor." Lin Dongshi naturally had a sweet mouth when it came to asking for help.
Fangzheng hurriedly shook his head. "This Penniless Monk is only an ordinary monk. How can he be considered an accomplished monk? If we are talking about accomplished monks, Hongyan Monastery's Zen Master Hongyan and Baiyun Monastery's Zen Master Baiyun are the accomplished monks. "
"Venerable Fangzheng, don't be humble. Let's get down to business. Our scene has a very important segment. That is the accomplished monk's expiation of the dead soldiers. However, the teacher acting as the accomplished monk suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. He won't be able to make it in time for the next few days. Do you think … "Lin Dongshi looked at Fangzheng eagerly. His expression reminded Fangzheng of Lone Wolf looking at the Crystal Rice in his bowl.
Before Fangzheng said a word, Wang Yougui exclaimed, "Are you getting Fangzheng to act as the accomplished monk?"
Fangzheng jumped in fright as well. He hurriedly shook his head. "Patron, This Penniless Monk doesn't know how to act. It would be terrible if he messed up. This Penniless Monk thinks that you can temporarily stop filming. You can continue filming after you find a suitable actor. "
Lin Dongshi nodded. "There's no other way. All the key figures are here today, especially the investors. They want to watch the first scene. If they come and the filming fails, the investors might pull their investment out of anger. Venerable Fangzheng, I beg of you. You must help me. "
