Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

Liu Zhongze arrived at a commercial building, next to which was an upscale residential community; the two were practically side by side.

After seeing Liu Zhongze enter the building, Jiang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hid in her own residential compound, afraid of being noticed by Liu Zhongze.

Liu Zhongze took the stairs and immediately spotted a familiar, hurried figure in the back of the residential area. He didn't point it out, but instead went to office 603.

The special effects crew of the "Heroic Spirits" series temporarily rented an office here; I heard it wasn't actually rented by the crew.

"Ding-dong." The doorbell rang from inside the door.

A moment later, a person came out. After opening the door, she said, "Mr. Liu, is that right? I am the official staff member who contacted you, and also the producer of this film. Welcome to the team."

The woman wore black-rimmed glasses and had to tilt her head back to look at people, as if she couldn't see their faces clearly otherwise.

Liu Zhongze extended his hand and shook hands with the producer, saying, "Hello, what do we need to do now?"

"Come with me. I'll take you to a nearby hotel to drop off your luggage. You can use this place as our crew's temporary office. You can also find me here if you need anything."

The producer offered to help Liu Zhongze with some of his luggage, but Liu Zhongze refused, saying, "I can manage by myself."

"Mr. Liu, don't you have any assistants with you?"

Liu Zhongze laughed and said, "My status is lowly now, why would I need an assistant? Wouldn't that just cause me trouble?"

"That's right. By the way, my name is He Qian, but they all call me Sister He."

"Okay, Sister He."

As Liu Zhongze followed He Qian to her residence, he noticed that He Qian was paying attention to his behavior and expressions, as if she was worried. The next moment, Liu Zhongze ran away.

The two walked along the main street and turned into a back alley, a hotel specifically for those who dream of becoming stars.

Sister He said, "The sixth floor of this hotel is full of our film crew. The room next to yours is the second male lead's, and the room opposite is the fourth male lead's. The room next to the fourth male lead's was originally the first male lead's, but the first male lead doesn't stay with us. He has other places to rest. He also got our office."

Sister He took a card from the hotel receptionist and handed it to Liu Zhongze. The card showed room 611.

Upon entering the elevator, Liu Zhongze could clearly smell the stench inside. It seemed as if the elevator hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and the people coming and going were always sweaty, their body odor clinging to the elevator walls.

Liu Zhongze was quite familiar with this situation. He had worked as an extra and knew that extras were not given much attention and their living conditions were poor. Being able to have a private room was considered good.

Liu Zhongze looked at the elevator door and found that He Qian was also looking at him. After realizing that she had been discovered, He Qian smiled and didn't say anything.

This production team was poor from beginning to end. From the very beginning when they were communicating with Liu Zhongze, they made it clear that this was a low-budget tokusatsu drama, and there would never be many extra expenses.

If it weren't for the male lead's connections in Hengdian, which allowed him to secure a decent office and impress the other two leads, He Qian felt that her tokusatsu drama wouldn't even have enough male leads.

He Qian led Liu Zhongze to the door of room 611 and gestured for him to go in by himself. She then went to room 608, entered, and began fiddling with something. The sounds from room 608 could be faintly heard.

The neighbors here aren't very nice. Although the corridor lights are on, it's very dim, and you can't tell it's daytime at all. It's as if it's always in the dark.

When Liu Zhongze opened the door, he found that the curtains were open, letting in some light and making the room look much brighter and more spacious.

In the 80s, extras had nowhere to rest. Generally, if you were asked to act, you could only wait if you didn't have a scene. When you were needed, the production assistant would come and call you. After the performance, you would be paid and given a box lunch, and that would be the end of it. There were no outstanding acting skills or overnight success stories.

If you want to stay on the film set and become a professional extra, you have to find a way yourself.

Back then, Hong Kong was incredibly expensive, and Liu Zhongze needed to share with others if he wanted to stay overnight. At his peak, he shared an apartment with seven people. Fortunately, everyone had different schedules, which helped him avoid some people, but when he was resting, he could only curl up so as not to disturb others.

Liu Zhongze was satisfied with this room. Even if the image of the original owner of this body living in a nice place came to mind, Liu Zhongze would not be envious. After all, he had suffered hardships, and his childhood memories had long been integrated into his soul.

Women like many things from childhood to adulthood; but men don't. They mostly like the things they liked when they were young. For men, playing with things from their childhood is not childish, but rather a way to preserve their youth and fond memories.

Liu Zhongze looked out the window, feeling bored, and sighed at the development of the mainland. Although it was a hotel in a small alley, he could still vaguely see a bustling commercial street through the cracks.

Hong Kong is different. The population density is too high, and there are many high-rise buildings. If you want to see any scenery, you must have a lot of assets. Otherwise, it is difficult to even get sunlight in your place.

dong dong dong.

"Mr. Liu, shall we go eat? Everyone has already gone to the restaurant. Tonight is the opening ceremony, and we'll officially start filming in Hengdian tomorrow."

Liu Zhongze walked to the door, opened it, and saw He Qian dressed strangely. His feeling was that she clearly wanted to dress up nicely, but couldn't find suitable clothes and could only put together this outfit.

Liu Zhongze went through his memories and found that He Qian was wearing individual pieces of cosplay outfits. They were solid colors and wouldn't be immediately recognizable as cosplay outfits, but when put together, they didn't look very aesthetically pleasing.

"Let's go, they're all at a local restaurant, they're probably almost here already."

The two hailed a taxi and headed to a restaurant near Hengdian.

After driving for more than ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a very lively restaurant. There were many extras eating on the first floor, and the waiters were so busy they were out of breath.

Liu Zhongze thought he would find his tokusatsu drama co-star somewhere on the first floor, but He Qian actually led him to the door of an exquisite private room on the second floor.

The second floor is completely different from the first floor. On the first floor, in order to allow the extras to eat properly, everything that could be removed was removed, and as many tables and chairs as possible were set up.

As for the second floor, there will be special props in the corridor, such as small bridges, flowing water, and occasional wisps of smoke, all of which show that this place is extraordinary.

Only those with extraordinary identities or those from powerful production crews would choose to eat on the second floor.
