Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

The main members of the cannon fodder regiment have all gone to participate in training and are staying in the military camp at night. Now, only some elderly people, women and children are left in the hotel.

When Xu Yinglai was having dinner at the restaurant that evening, he met the old Luo, who was over fifty years old, mentioned by Zhang Guoqiang. This old Luo was actually Luo Jingmin, the actor who played Hao Xichuan.

He played many supporting roles, the most famous of which was Xu Sanduo's father, Xu Baishun, in "Soldiers Sortie".

"Kid, come sit down and have some food with me." Luo Jing said in a Shaanxi dialect, beckoning to Xu Ying.

Xu Ying pointed to himself in surprise, "Me?"

"It's you."

Since it didn't matter where they sat to eat, Xu Ying carried the plate and sat down next to Luo Jingmin. Also at the table were two of the few actresses from the crew.

One was around thirty years old, and the other looked to be in his early twenties.

Xu Ying recognized the two men; they were actors from the show, but he couldn't quite place their names.

In his past life, Xu Ying was a businessman who was always polite to everyone, and he brought that habit back with him.

In the entertainment industry, calling someone "teacher" is always the right thing to do.

"Hello, teachers. My name is Xu Ying. I'm a newcomer, so please take good care of me."

Before she could finish speaking, the young woman burst out laughing. "It feels strange to be called 'teacher.' Ahem, hello, my name is Yuan Fei."

Xu Ying remembered: Chen Xiaozui, played by Yuan Fei, was a woman who made Meng Fanle and Zhang Lixian worry about her.

Similarly, for the cannon fodder regiment, Chen Xiaozui was the only gentle comfort in the quagmire of war.

She was wearing braided pigtails, and her smiling eyes looked bright and sunny, just like Chen Xiaozui in the drama.

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed for laughing out loud, Yuan Fei introduced the other two to Xu Ying.

"This is Teacher Luo Jingmin, and this is Teacher Liu Weiwei. They are both seniors."

Xu Ying was slightly taken aback. "You're actually a pretty nice person."

Upon hearing Liu Weiwei's name, Xu Ying remembered who she was. She had acted with Sun Honglei in "Conquest," playing Li Mei, the character who was head over heels in love with Sun Honglei.

What impressed Xu Ying the most was the old woman she played in a TV series later on, who was tricked into giving away information.

"Hello Professor Luo, hello Senior Sister Weiwei, I'm from the 06 class of Beijing Film Academy."

"Hello, junior brother." Liu Weiwei nodded slightly in response, not showing much enthusiasm, as the class of 06 was quite far removed from her class of 92.

"You're a really handsome kid," Luo Jing complimented, then spoke entirely in Mandarin. "You're the actor who played Yu Xiaoqing, right? How old are you? Are you dating anyone?"

"I'm 20, still studying, and haven't started dating."

"Then we need to hurry. You and Xiao Yuan are about the same age, the two of you..."

Before Luo Jing could finish speaking, Yuan Fei, blushing, interrupted him, "Teacher Luo, what are you saying..."

While speaking, he secretly glanced at Xu Ying, who was unattractive and somewhat resembled Leon Lai.

Older generations often like to ask these questions and play matchmaker, perhaps thinking it's a way of showing concern for the younger generation.

The two chatted casually, with Yuan Fei occasionally chiming in.

A simple dinner turned out to be quite enjoyable.

Yuan Fei said with a smile, "You can ask me anything you don't understand. I know everyone in this crew very well."

After saying that, he left with Liu Weiwei.

Only Luo Jingmin and Xu Ying, two smokers, remained to contribute to the construction of the motherland.

Silent all night.

The next day, before dawn, Xu Ying got up.

Just as he finished getting ready, the staff arrived. The director arranged for the staff to take him to the Tengchong Forest Police Barracks, which is where the other twenty-odd actors were gathered for military training.

Tengchong has a special location, and troops have been stationed here for a long time.

The filming of "My Chief and My Regiment" received support from relevant local departments.

So they were assigned to military training.

Xu Ying arrived at the military camp and, led by a soldier, changed into military uniform. When he arrived at the training ground, the actors had just finished assembling.

"Report! Recruit Xu Ying has been brought in!"

"Um."

Xu Ying also saluted.

Instructor Liu Yunchong's gaze swept over Xu Ying, and his voice boomed: "Fall in!"

"Yes!" Xu Ying's voice was equally loud.

The instructor nodded.

[Ding! Contact with Sergeant Liu Yunchong has granted you two chances to participate in a prize draw. Would you like to participate?]

Twice? Xu Ying was surprised, but chose yes.

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skills: Firearms Proficiency and Melee Proficiency]

The melee proficiency is pretty good, but the firearms proficiency is lacking.

This skill doesn't seem very practical. I can't exactly carry around two guns, can I?

Just as Xu Ying was about to return to his unit, he saw Duan Yihong wink at him.

Then Duan Yihong shouted, "Reporting, Instructor! Apart from Zhang Guoqiang and me, we don't know the others. I would like to ask if you can allow him to introduce himself first."

As soon as these words were spoken, the others started to stir up trouble as well.

"Can."

"What's going on, Lao Duan?" Xu Ying glared at Duan Yihong, but Duan just chuckled and ignored him.

Xu Ying's gaze swept over the group of actors in front of him.

The ultraviolet radiation in Yunnan Province is really strong; in just a few days, these actors have gotten several shades darker.

Everyone's hats were pulled down very low, as if they wanted to cover their entire heads, but Xu Ying was still able to tell who was who.

Besides Duan Yihong and Zhang Guoqiang, from left to right are Zhang Yi, Wang Dazhi, Li Chen, Wang Xun, Fan Lei, and other members of the cannon fodder regiment, as well as other soldiers from the drama.

Looking at the familiar actors in front of him, Xu Ying really felt like a TV drama had come to life.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xu Ying, who plays Yu Xiaoqing in the drama. I'm 20 years old this year, and I hope you older brothers will give me your guidance!"

"Great!" Duan Yihong led the applause.

"Welcome, Master Yu!"

Everyone's face was beaming with a bright smile.

Before the instructor could give another order, Xu Ying voluntarily returned to the team.

"Alright, let's begin the five-kilometer run!"

For a time, cries of agony filled the air.

"If I hear that sound again, we'll go another five kilometers!" the instructor roared.

These actors had never suffered like this before, but not one of them complained about quitting. Perhaps it is this authenticity that makes the show so popular.

After running five kilometers, Xu Ying felt like his legs no longer belonged to him.

He was one of the few actors in the group who completed the five-kilometer run, which surprised the instructor.

The instructor was helpless with the others; his men had already been dealt with by him.

But what can you do when someone is an actor? Nevertheless, he still insisted that if he couldn't run, he had to walk the entire five kilometers.

Besides Xu Ying, Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi, Li Chen, and Gazi have also finished their runs.

Zhang Guoqiang, Wang Xun, and Wang Dazhi were mercilessly ridiculed.

After the morning training session, Xu Ying moved into the dormitory, a six-person room where he shared with the lead actors Duan Yihong and Zhang Yi.

In terms of screen time, he is also one of the main actors.

Friendships between men are simple; in the time it takes to eat a meal and have a cigarette, Xu Ying became familiar with everyone.
