Chapter 102: The audition is over(1/3)
"Red Boy vs. Black Cat Detective":
Nearly a thousand years have passed since Red Boy was adopted by Guanyin, and he has reached the age where he should be on his own. Guanyin imitated Tathagata and sent Red Boy to travel around the world, and he had to go through eight hundred and eighty-sixty-four hardships before he could become an immortal.
Red Boy was very excited, thinking that even Sun Monkey could do it, so he must be able to do it. When he came to the mortal world eager to get ready, he never expected that the mortal world had already changed. The fairies no longer killed them at will.
A unique political system has been formulated; carnivores, herbivores, and arthropods coexist; it vigorously develops economy and science, and emphasizes the rule of law and morality.
Red Boy's heart was filled with despair. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that he could not go back to the sky. After a few days of being so confused and hungry, he accidentally walked to the river one afternoon and witnessed several carnivores bullying herbivores on campus. It seemed as if
Seeing himself a thousand years ago, Red Boy immediately went to stop him. He spit out a mouthful of Samadhi True Fire, intending to scare the naughty child. Unexpectedly, the "Samadhi True Fire" changed its flavor. Under the light of the fire, several animal cubs suddenly
I entered a mysterious state and started writing homework.
"Samadhi" is the transliteration of the Sanskrit "Samādhi", and the free translation is "samadhi", which is the "samadhi" of "meditation", which refers to the state of concentration. Animals can enter a state of concentration within the thermal radiation range of the "Samadhi True Fire"
.Looking at the animals who were writing furiously and turning fighting into motivation for learning, Red Boy discovered the business opportunity and immediately started selling candles with "Samadhi True Fire" around the school. Soon, the students' enthusiasm for learning and their grades improved.
It was rising steadily, and there was no time to engage in school bullying. Red Boy not only made money, but also did good things. He seemed to have found his mission and was ready to settle down in the mortal world and travel and practice.
However, this matter spread to the ears of Black Cat Detective, who sneered and said...
"[The more you emphasize that you are doing good things, the more problematic it will be!]" Director Tian muttered over and over again while writing lines in the blank space next to the picture.
The picture on the paper shows a scrawled black cat detective, twirling his beard, staring at a photo with his bright copper bell eyes, which shows a young man wearing a red bellyband and a pair of horns.
"[A gangster with unknown origins, under the guise of doing good things...]"
"Director Tian."
"[Sales of a new type of hallucinogenic drug with unknown ingredients...]"
"Director Tian!"
"Huh?" Director Tian stopped the pen in his hand and raised his head to look at the person who made the sound.
The producer sitting next to him asked: "The actors are all here. Should we wait a little longer, or should we start now?" After saying that, he glanced at the manuscript paper in front of Director Tian.
Only then did Director Tian realize that the audition time had arrived. He put away the "Red Boy vs. Black Cat Detective" that he had scribbled to pass the time, and said, "Let's start now."
The assistant standing in the corner waiting for help immediately walked out of the room to inform the actors that the audition had begun.
Director Tian picked up the first actor card.
The first person to come in for the audition was an ugly-looking actor who was affectionately called Xiao Jiang by the producer.
Based on his resume alone, Xiao Jiang, who is good at action films and comedies, is a strong candidate for "Key to Destiny". The producer strongly recommended him, which is not outrageous.
However, Xiaojiang has been on the set since he was a child and has been exposed to all kinds of people. He has already become a mature person, with a slippery charlatanism, which actually does not fit the feeling that Director Tian wants.
The door opened, and a man in his thirties walked in with a smile on his face.
"Director Tian, Brother Zhang, Director Wang..." Xiao Jiang greeted the people sitting behind the table one by one. There was a warm and silly smile on his face, without any nervousness.
As soon as the people in the room saw him, they unconsciously raised their eyebrows and laughed, and the seriousness in the air was instantly eliminated.
Director Tian also smiled like Maitreya, but his eyes glanced directly at Xiaojiang's body, comparing his figure with the last time they met.
The last time Xiao Jiang was brought to a meeting by the producer, he still asked Xiao Jiang to take off his clothes unexpectedly. Xiao Jiang took off his clothes neatly at that time, revealing the body of an action actor with a loose body. The muscles were vaguely visible, and the content was not low, but basically
Covered by fat.
As for now...
"Take off your clothes and take a look." Director Tian said.
Xiaojiang still said nothing and took off his clothes.
Others watched quietly and did not regard this as sexual. There were cameras in the room recording the harassment.
Compared with the last time we met, his figure has become much stronger, which shows that he has been exercising hard during this period. Although Xiaojiang is slightly swollen at the moment, it is estimated that in about a month, his figure will be back to his previous action movie
The peak appearance here.
"Okay, put it on." Director Tian asked Xiao Jiang to put on his clothes.
After Xiao Jiang put on his clothes, he waited for his lines.
However, what was waiting for him was Director Tian's words:
"Next, go to the next room to cook some vegetables."
"What? Stir-fried vegetables?" Xiao Jiang opened his mouth, very confused.
His doubts, through his expression and tone, suddenly turned into a sense of joy and began to exaggerate the people in the room.
"The killer was brought to the restaurant for his first day of work," said Director Tian.
Xiaojiang thought about it for a moment.
In the script, it was only written that the killer worked part-time in a restaurant and was good at using knives. There were almost no other details.
Generally, the style of such [playful games] is relaxed and cheerful, in order to highlight the difference in work skills between killers and ordinary people, thereby forming a contrast.
Xiao Jiang smiled and nodded, understanding what the director wanted to see, left the room, and walked to the box next door.
The private room next door has been decorated as a simple kitchen. There is an induction cooker, pots and pans, and several kinds of ingredients.
The assistant director, who played the role of [Restaurant Owner], quickly entered the role and took the [Killer] played by Xiao Jiang to introduce his new job.
As soon as Xiao Jiang picked up the knife, it was as if a switch was turned on, and he cut the ingredients with exaggerated movements. After cutting the ingredients, Xiao Jiang's ugly face actually raised "I'm so handsome", "
You must be stunned by my charm] with a narcissistic expression.
Everyone in Director Tian's box next door stared at the real-time transmission monitor screen, and everyone was amused by the expression.
The producer kept praising "It's good" and "It's good".
Director Tian looked at Xiao Jiang's knife skills, which were slightly better than ordinary people, and thought of Guan Chen. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he cuts well or not. This part can be processed with editing, or if it is exaggerated, special effects can be used to show the superb knife skills.
.But when I think of Guan Chen’s sword skills, I wonder what the effect will be in actual filming.
On the screen, after Xiaojiang had cut the ingredients, he started cooking under the guidance and supervision of the [Restaurant Owner]. The movements were still wide and open, and the shovel seemed to be stabbing people, and almost half of the food in the pot flew out.
.
After Xiao Jiang came out, he returned to the audition box and chatted with Director Tian and others. Director Tian nodded and said the audition ended.
After Xiao Jiang left, several people in the room were quite satisfied.
But they didn't say anything like confirmation on the spot, because they had high expectations for the next talented actor.
The second person to audition was Director Tian's favorite actor, named Xiang Jun.
First, take off your clothes to look at your figure.
Xiang Jun's figure is just an ordinary figure, with no signs of exercise. Because he has been filming on another crew before, he cannot suddenly start exercising. But "the filming over there has now been completed, and I have started a muscle-building plan since the day before yesterday."
"Xiang Jun said that he did not look down upon Director Tian's project.
Director Tian nodded.
After a brief chat, Xiang Jun was informed to go to the next door box to cook.
After Xiang Jun heard this request, he did not panic. He just calmly thought about it for a moment and then asked to take a few minutes to prepare before going to the kitchen next door.
Director Tian agreed.
After he returned to the kitchen and started performing, Director Tian and the others discovered that Xiang Jun had just spent a few minutes preparing props for himself.
Unlike Xiaojiang who picked up the knife and cut quickly, Xiang Jun first took out a ruler, including a square ruler and a tape measure, and measured the length of the ingredients, showing a very craftsmanlike spirit.
As if he had memorized the position corresponding to each scale, after Xiang Jun started chopping vegetables, every rise and fall of his wrist and the interval between each knife were all exactly the same. Of course, the cut things could not be seen, but Director Tian and others had already understood Xiang's chopping.
That's what they all want to express.
He plays a machine-type killer.
After he started cooking, Xiang Jun took off his watch, stared at the time frequently, and asked the [restaurant owner] "how long should be the interval between each shovel", "how many grams of salt should be added", "how many milliliters of water should be poured in"
”.
The producers commented among themselves: "This is interesting."
Director Tian also nodded.
Director Tian likes to eat, and he also cooks when he has time.
He believes that a person's character can be seen from the way he cooks.
Letting the actors cook is actually a test of their respective understandings of the killer.
Both Xiao Jiang and Xiang Jun have shown different styles of killers.
But the next two people who tried it were very mediocre.
Next, it was Guan Chen's turn.
As for Guan Chen, because he has Zhang Jingsheng's endorsement, they will not look down upon Guan Chen or feel there is no need to try him. This industry has never been short of blockbuster actors, and what it has always been short of are geniuses who have hit after hit.
They have now raised their expectations and are waiting to see how much surprise Guan Chen will bring them.
The door opened.
Guan Chen walked in.
