Chapter 005
The next day, at five o'clock in the morning, Dong Xi was controlled by his biological alarm clock and opened his eyes.
This habit was developed from practicing boxing since childhood, and now it has completely become a conditioned reflex. No matter how tired he is, Dong Xi will always open his eyes at five o'clock!
Of course, opening his eyes doesn't mean he wants to get up. Many times he will fall asleep again.
But today was different. After he opened his eyes, he could no longer fall asleep. This was not surprising. No matter who was tied to a chair and watched more than 100 episodes of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" in a row, it would be impossible to fall asleep again!
Dong Xi was lying on the bed like this, and the sound of Sun Haiping's murmuring in his sleep could be heard next to him, and the sound of the burning coal briquettes in the stove reached his ears clearly.
Everything was real and like a dream. The things in the dream were so weird that he couldn't be sure whether it was really a dream or reality!
The TV series had the least impact on him, but the chat on the barrage really surprised him.
"Isolated at home in 2020, come and check in if you are bored!"
"In 2011, those eyes that were devastated by the new version came back to check in!"
"Erkang, I'm sorry!"
"Aunt Rong, be harder!"
"Zhao Feite, Lin Lianhua, and Fan Bayi! The three beauties of Huanzhu are invincible in the world!"
Such similar words made him understand that these barrages were not timely, but formed over time.
The glimpse of the leopard in the tube gave Dong Xi some expectations for the future, provided that these things are true!
Obviously, the play that will be auditioned today is "Huanzhugege", and judging from the barrage analysis, this play is very popular, so popular that some people still remember it more than 20 years later.
Not only was the trilogy filmed in succession, it was also remade.
Although most of the starring roles have been changed in the third film, the barrage has also begun to become less friendly, and is obviously not as tolerant as the first two films.
Obviously in Dong Xi's opinion, these three dramas are the same nonsense, and even the makeup, scenery, and costumes of the first one are the worst among the three, but the audience seems to like this one the most.
"Feelings?" Silently reciting the words he learned from the barrage, Dong Xi turned over and began to think about which role he could occupy in it.
Don't even think about the two main male leads, Uncle Fu Erkang and Fifth Brother Yongqi. There are only a few male actors who have more roles.
Huang Ama, Liu Qing, Ertai, small table, small stool... pretend I didn't mention the last two.
Even the role of Emperor Ama is not suitable for Dong Xi. After all, with his figure, if he really wants to play the king of a country, he can barely play the role of Genghis Khan!
Different from Zhang Tielin's pseudo-dominance of blowing his beard and staring, Dong Xi is truly domineering!
Or maybe it would be good to play Qin Shihuang, but I heard that Ying Zheng is nearly two meters tall, I don’t know if it’s true or not.
In fact, Ertai, the second master of Fu, is not very suitable. There is already the first master of Fu, Erkang Zhuyu. Not only is Ertai the first to go offline, he is basically a low-profile Erkang.
Then it seems that Liu Qing is the only choice for the remaining major supporting role.
Liu Qing, a rough man who was born in the business world and made a living by performing arts in the world, could barely get along with Dong Xi!
As a background, there is no lower limit for acting skills. To put it bluntly, there are really no acting schools in Huanzhu (except for Grandma Rong). The standard is to be vigorous and noisy!
Although Liu Qing in the original version has a tough look, due to the limitations of the character design and plot, she always gives people the feeling of being a loser. The same thing happened to Liu Hong.
Of course, as a backdrop, Liu Qing is still qualified. He is like Sha Monk from Journey to the West, concentrating on praising the protagonist and repeating a few lines over and over again.
"Little Yanzi is right!"
"Ziwei is right!"
"Oops, little Yanzi was kidnapped by so-and-so!"
It is quite difficult to attract the love of the audience for such a relatively plain character!
The difficulty is no less than clearing up Grandma Rong in the drama.
Moreover, it is not easy to steal the scene. As we all know, there is a character in Huanzhu who is extremely willing to steal the scene.
Not only does he steal the roles of several major protagonists, but he also doesn't let go of the supporting roles that don't have much of a role. He shows his nostrils and adopts the acting method of the Roaring Cult, which really ruins the childhood series!
Today's audition was in a four-star hotel. When Sun Haiping woke up, he saw the neatly dressed Dong Xi. He couldn't help complaining: "I don't know which one said he didn't care yesterday. I didn't expect to get up so early."
!”
Without even looking at him, Dong Xi turned around and walked out the door, opened the door and strode out of the house.
Well, it’s not closed!
The cold wind rushed into the room, and Sun Haiping on the bed couldn't help but shudder. Then he rushed to the door with a blanket and cursed, and closed the door vigorously.
Then he seemed to be frozen, standing blankly at the door, listening.
It wasn't until Dong Xi's footsteps disappeared from the corridor that Sun Haiping clenched his fist.
"Come on, Dong Xi!"
The audition time was nine o'clock, which seemed to be the normal schedule for RTHK, but Dong Xi went out around eight o'clock.
The morning sun was unusually warm, the air was not as dry and cold as before, and the pedestrians on the street slowed down their pace.
Because the audition hotel was not far from here, Dong Xi just walked slowly and leisurely without any sense of urgency.
Even if he knew what level of opportunity he was about to face, Dong Xi could still remain calm.
Compared with other audition actors, his only advantage is that he knows the plot well and can show his advantages to the management based on Liu Qing's character.
It was already half past eight when we arrived at the hotel. I hurriedly verified my identity at the registration desk and climbed to the third floor.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, Dong Xi noticed countless eyes directed at him, some of which were fleeting, while others kept following his body.
Dong Xi also took the opportunity to scan the people sitting or standing in the corridor. It was impossible for the leading actors to appear here. This audition was mostly for supporting roles.
I did see a few familiar faces from TV dramas, mostly maids, eunuchs and the like.
Just like Dong Xi, they are all young actors working for independent gangs. I don't know where they got their connections, and they appear here.
However, even though they are not well-known, most of them are actors with professional backgrounds. Although they have no intersection with each other, they still know a little bit about their respective backgrounds.
Dong Xi is like a newcomer who has just entered prison. Compared with the groups of actors from Nortel, China Theater, and Shanghai Theater, he stands out from the crowd.
Coupled with his own conditions, he is really eye-catching!
No, Dong Xi originally planned to sneak into a corner, but in the silence, someone spoke.
"What, is the barrier to entry for this show so low? Even outsiders can audition? This is not a zoo recruiting keepers!"
The person who spoke was a man sitting on a chair. He looked like a human, but he looked a little gloomy, probably because his life was not going well.
Hearing his words, Dong Xi smiled. Although he didn't mention him by name, it was obvious that he was targeting himself!
It's no wonder that this place is no longer just a place for minors. It has its own set of rules. If a newcomer like Dong Xi with no background comes to snatch the few opportunities, it can easily arouse the displeasure and hostility of others.
The man was just speaking out what everyone was thinking.
Dong Xi adjusted his steps and walked towards the man step by step. His speed was not fast but he attracted everyone's attention.
The man was originally very proud and thought he was being humorous, but when he saw Dong Xi approaching, he suddenly became a little panicked.
"Why doesn't this guy play by the rules?"
Originally, it was an unwritten rule to suppress newcomers, but when he met a character like Dong Xi who was not stingy, the man's expression became a little uncertain.
At this time, Dong Xi had already walked up to him and looked at him condescendingly.
"What are you going to do?" Under the shadow of Dong Xi's huge body, the man couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Without him, the deterrence is too strong!
"This position is mine." Dong Xi said softly, as if he was talking about a very common thing.
"Huh?" The man was stunned, and then shouted in disbelief: "Don't be kidding, I came early in the morning!"
Then he turned around and looked around, as if he wanted to seek help from others, but the people around him turned their eyes away, not daring to look at him for fear of getting burned.
The indifference of human nature is most vividly reflected at this moment!
"Once again, this position is mine." Dong Xi didn't look at him, but stretched out a hand to lick his nails.
The scene suddenly became eerily quiet. The man felt his heart beating rapidly and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
In the silence, Dong Xi suddenly bent forward, and the man immediately stood up reflexively, his lips trembling and he said, "What do you want to do?"
Dong Xi tilted his head and said nothing, looking at the man like a chicken, his eyes full of indifference.
"A good man never suffers the immediate consequences!"
Perhaps feeling that it was too embarrassing to continue like this, the man ran away from Dong Xi after saying a few words.
He hid in the distance and glared at Dong Xi fiercely, watching as he sat in his original seat.
When Dong Xi sat down, the quiet corridor returned to normal, with hushed voices everywhere, but this time there was one more person on the topic of discussion.
Chapter completed!
