One of the group leaders shouted," Bring an actress over. She's younger. Her Mandarin must be standard. She must be able to withstand the pain."”
"I…"
"I…"
"I…"
As soon as the group leader finished speaking, a large group of female extras rushed forward like crazy.
Those who were chosen were in high spirits, while those who weren't were filled with regret.
The group leader added," Another male actor. He's older, over 40 years old. He can play the role of an old man. It's best if he has the experience of speaking."”
"I…"
"I…"
Just like the situation with the female actress, this time, a large group of male extras rushed forward.
Li Taiping was also among them.
When the group leader saw the group of extras, he immediately cursed,"I want those who are over 40 years old. Didn't you hear me clearly? If you're not old enough, get lost immediately.”
More than half of the extras immediately dispersed, leaving only three people.
After all, there weren't many extras over the age of 40. Furthermore, extras who worked outside the production team were even rarer.
The group leader glanced at the faces of the two extras in front and was not very satisfied.
"Chief Ping, why are you here? Don't make things difficult for me anymore."
"Can't you give me a chance?" asked Li Taiping. Show your head?"
Zhan Tou was also an extra.
When he first came to Heng Store, Li Taiping had helped him.
Later on, he didn't do well as an actor, but he became a group leader.
Zhan Tou said with a bitter face," Master Ping, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that you've offended that person. You know how powerful he is. He has a famous assistant director backing him."
He had already said that whoever dared to use him would be going against him. He would make sure that none of us had food to eat.
Master Ping, can you do me a favor?”
Li Taiping nodded with a dark face. Without saying anything else, he turned around and left.
"Yo, isn't this Master Ping?"
"Why is Master Ping here?”
"Don't talk nonsense. Master Ping has been doing well in Heng Store. Many group leaders have received his help. He never lacks roles.”
You're already so old. Isn't it nice to go home and hug your grandchildren? What if a good role falls into your hands one day? If you're too happy and have a heart attack, you'll collapse on the set. Wouldn't that be causing trouble for them?”
"Nonsense again. Master Ping has always been single. He doesn't even have a son, so how could he have a grandson?”
"No way. He's already so old, but he hasn't married yet. How pitiful…"
……
After Li Taiping was rejected, the group of actors behind him started to tease him.
Although they kept calling him Chief Ping as if they were being respectful, it was more of a mockery from their mouths.
Li Taiping took in these words. Not only was he not angry, but he also smiled at them.
He only cursed in his heart,""A bunch of idiots, how would they know how I operate?
With such a short-sighted vision, he was destined to be a walk-on for the rest of his life.”
Among these extras, 99.9% of them did not make a name for themselves.
In the end, he could only leave this place where he had pursued his dreams dejectedly.
When he came, he was in high spirits, but when he left, he was in a sorry state.
Li Taiping had seen this kind of thing too many times over the years.
In fact, Li Taiping had been in Heng Store for 40 years, so he did have some connections.
Just as they said, many group leaders had been taken care of by Li Taiping in the beginning, which was how they slowly became what they were today.
Most of the time, he could even show his face and say a line or two.
However, some time ago, a group leader wanted to lay her hands on a female extra.
The extra knew Li Taiping and asked him for help, so he helped her.
In the end, he did not expect the brother-in-law of the group leader to be a very famous assistant director in the industry, Hu Wanmin.
In order to back up his brother-in-law, the assistant director said that whoever used Li Taiping would be making things difficult for Hu Wanmin.
From then on, no one dared to use Li Taiping anymore.
After all, no matter how popular Li Taiping was, he was just an extra, and the other party was a very famous assistant director in the entire industry.
Even a fool would know which one could be offended and which one could not.
Li Taiping had no choice but to try his luck at the entrance of these production teams to see if there were any temporary vacancies.
Unfortunately, Li Taiping did not get the chance today.
However, Li Taiping did not panic at all.
He didn't really expect to make a name for himself by playing a small role.
From the day he transmigrated, he had been bound to a rather strange system.
As long as he played a minor role for a year, he would be able to obtain a certain ability when he activated the system.
The longer he ran, the stronger the ability he obtained.
When he finished his first year as an extra, the system reminded him that as long as he activated the system, he would be able to obtain a basic acting skill.
However, Li Taiping was not interested in such a low-level skill at all, so he rejected it.
From then on, the system would remind him every year after he finished playing a minor role.
He wasn't afraid of getting old. Twenty years ago, the system had rewarded him with a Rejuvenation Pill.
As long as he ate it, he would immediately become ten years younger.
Moreover, he could continue to obtain more Rejuvenation Pills from the system in the future.
Since that was the case, why was Li Taiping panicking? He should continue hiding.
He naturally did not take the mockery of these extras to heart.
Of course, Li Taiping did not really take everything to heart.
Li Taiping felt a headache coming on.
The system stipulated that he had to take on at least one extra role every month for a year. Only then would he be considered to have played an extra role for a year.
If he didn't complete it, then he would have wasted a year.
He had been doing well until something like this happened a while ago, which made him unable to act for more than half a month.
As for whether or not he regretted helping that extra, he really didn't.
This was also his personality. He never regretted what he had done.
………………
Outside an apartment, Li Taiping opened the door with his key and walked in.
This was the house that Li Taiping had rented in Hengdian. It was a very small one-bedroom apartment, and it looked quite nice.
This was mainly because Li Taiping had not saved much money over the years.
All the money was spent and used without any reservation.
The money he earned every month was basically just enough for his expenses. There was very little left.
Li Taiping put down the key and walked to the living room. He sat down on the sofa and lay down on it without any care for his image.
He did not have the steadiness of a sixty-year-old man at all.
Of course, this was only when he was alone. In front of outsiders, he still had some scruples about his image.
However, he was still a 60-year-old man after all. After walking for a long time, Li Taiping was also tired. After lying on the sofa, he fell asleep unknowingly.
"Ding! Minor actors have played for 40 years and have reached the upper limit. The system will be forcefully activated.”
"After the system is successfully activated, you will receive top-notch performance skills, top-notch singing skills, top-notch composing skills, top-notch writing skills, top-notch memory skills, a random character assignment card, a Great Strength Pill, and a Rejuvenation Pill.”
" The system is forcefully activating…"
"Congratulations, Master. The system has been successfully activated. All skills and items have been released.“
