Chapter 4 Audition
The name of Xiang Xiaoqun's new movie has been confirmed, called "Separation Perception". After posting relevant information on social platforms, his assistant sent some clips from the script to artists under various entertainment companies.
Those who received the script were all actors who Xiang Xiaoqun thought were suitable for certain roles and hoped to participate. Of course, this is not absolute. If a better candidate appears in the public audition, he will definitely choose the latter.
The industry's evaluation of Xiang Xiaoqun is more or less flattering, and it is not an exaggeration. He is a person who cannot get into the sand. He refuses to bring funds to the group and investors in every movie, and only chooses the actors he thinks are the most suitable. He believes that this will make the movie he wants.
Just looking at this point, Xiang Xiaoqun is actually a rare tough guy in the director industry. After all, he has a fixed investor, Wang Group, which ensures that he does not need to compromise on financial matters.
The open audition role of "Separation Perception" is the same as before, including all roles such as the man and the woman and the last villain. There has been a situation where the male lead is a newcomer who acts for the first time. Judging from the audience's reaction, Xiang Xiaoqun will not misjudgment, and his choice is always amazing.
On November 30, the first day of the public audition, the actors who had signed up and received the audition notice came to a small town in Anhui. The small town itself is not well-known, but its name is widely circulated and it even takes off every day...
Wuhu.
After a few days of rest at home, Yu Xing left Mijin City again and ran to Wuhu to attend the audition. Due to Tang Dao's existence, he had to take a bus and transfer taxi, and his butt was numb all the way.
The audition destination is a large attraction that has been renovated in Wuhu in the past two years, an ancient city that has been repaired on the basis of the old city.
The ancient city tower is very high, facing Qingyi River, and the city walls are quite old-fashioned. There are many people strolling in the ancient city every day.
Yu Xing also went in and found that there were more merchants in it than the ancient monuments, and they all sold everything, including clothes, food, souvenirs... The shops were decorated in antique, but some modern logos were still very disgusting. Where there were many shops, they could be called old-style commercial streets.
Buildings that truly have a sense of age are developing slowly, after all, they need to be carefully protected. There are still several dangerous buildings that cannot be developed, so they have seals and warnings posted there.
Many actors' agency companies cannot understand why Xiang Xiaoqun chose the audition location in such a place with many people. However, given Xiang Xiaoqun's reputation and reputation in the movie, they could only cooperate and arrive at the audition location at the specified time - an abandoned school of a long time.
There was no one around the school because it was just an empty shell, and even the tables and chairs were almost not preserved. The empty ones were not good-looking, and even less fun. Tourists would basically ignore the school road. When Yu Xing arrived at the place, the school had been encircled, and it was upgraded from being ignored to being forced without anyone to being ignored.
However, after a rough look, Yu Xing could understand why he auditioned here. The script he wrote contained a passage about the old building of the school. The description was like this abandoned school, which was a relatively low townhouse. I am afraid that Xiang Xiaoqun was trying to see the overall performance effect.
Wait... It's not uninvited, today is an exception. Many tourists heard that there are celebrities here, and they stop around to watch the fun, and even special paparazzi squat here to capture the photos.
This was a pain for the actors who came to audition. The streets here are narrow and cars cannot enter. They all packed them tightly. They quietly approached the staff standing guard accompanied by their agents or assistants, and then ran in quickly, leaving only passers-by with exclamations and speculations.
Yu Xing is similar. Although he is completely unfamiliar to others, the onlookers don’t know many celebrities. They don’t care who you are. Anyway, if you look good and have a star, you will have to be in turmoil.
He quietly entered the circle range in the unchanging white down jacket, wearing a mask and a hat, pulled down the mask and greeted the guards, and then swayed into the school building.
There were a whole row of people who were auditioning in the corridor on the second floor. Yu Xing could see the back of his head from the platform below. He walked up and received his number plate from a young lady with a work permit.
The audition was held in an empty classroom. Yu Xing had already checked it. Xiang Xiaoqun, the screenwriter and the investor representative held an interview. A row of temporary plastic seats were placed outside the empty classroom for the actors to wait outside. His arrival did not cause any trouble. After all, he was wearing a mask. The dozen actors in front saw that he didn't even have an assistant and thought he was a newcomer to the small company, so they didn't pay special attention.
Yu Xing's Tang Dao stayed in the hotel where he lived. This time he came to carry a bag. After sitting down, he took out the printed script from the bag. This is a summary of the character of the character he received after signing up for the audition killer, and two clips that could not be released at all.
Each character has different auditions, but the same characters get the same, and the competition is very straightforward, just to see who plays well and who fits the role better.
The young man on Yu Xing's right hand was also an assistant. He was wearing a mask and his curly hair was obviously styling in advance. The young man glanced at him casually. Seeing that Yu Xing was holding a killer book, he couldn't help but talk to him: "Hello, do you want to play Ren Xin too?"
Ren Xin is the murderer in the script who has a dark mentality and terrifying means. Judging from this, the young man's goal is also this character.
Yu Xing smiled, his eyebrows and eyes exposed outside were very friendly: "Yes, come and try it casually."
The young man had no intention of introducing himself. When he heard the affirmative answer, he muttered: "Haha, your temperament doesn't seem to match Ren Xin. Maybe the third male student is more suitable for you."
Yu Xing ignored him.
It doesn’t matter if the male and the third ones are male and the third ones. Anyway... this movie cannot be filmed. If everything goes well, Xiang Xiaoqun will be able to go to prison for attention before the filming is officially launched.
At this time, a girl happened to walk out of the audition classroom. Her expression seemed to be bad. She froze and accompanied her agent downstairs. Under the guidance of the crew, she left another hidden path without tourists.
Yu Xing looked at her back, then at the line of actors in front of him, and secretly joked in his heart.
I am really sorry to all young people. A movie that is destined to be unfilmed has wasted the enthusiasm of these young people.
Next was the boring waiting. Yu Xing got the brand No. 23, and some people came one after another. He didn't care and focused on playing with his mobile phone.
Speaking of which, after returning from Feng Gu Lanting in Nancheng, he studied the [delay bracelet] in the deduction mall. In fact, he had seen this thing before. However, because of the name, he thought that the delay bracelet was the kind of prop that delayed the ghosts. He didn't pay attention to it at all. Until he caught a glimpse of the relevant barrage, he vaguely realized that he seemed to have overlooked something very important.
After research, I found that indeed... the delay bracelet is used to delay the start time of the next deduction. A bracelet can be delayed for five days and 200 points, and can be renewed infinitely until the points are insufficient.
200 points are used to buy "life" for five days, which is not expensive at all. It has only one disadvantage, that is, it cannot prevent other props from opening the deduction entrance, such as Alice's ruby, even if a deducer wears a delay bracelet, it will still force it into.
After learning this, Yu Xing solved his vague doubts, which is why it took several years for some people from the three major families to be promoted to the differentiation line.
It turns out that most deducers will buy this bracelet to extend their survival time. After all, for most deducers, the absurd world is very dangerous, and they do not want to accept the test of life and death that is too frequent.
That is, Yu Xing, who doesn’t care about anything, and Zhao Yijiu, who is not afraid, can’t his strength rise so quickly.
...
More than two hours later, the young lady standing at the door of the classroom finally called Yu Xing's name. Yu Xing walked over and handed over the number board, pushed the door open and entered.
This empty classroom was cleaned quite clean, and a few tables were moved from somewhere. A few people in casual clothes sat there, looking lacking in interest.
Yu Xing saw Xiang Xiaoqun sitting in the middle at a glance. The director was in his early forties and had a sparse hair, especially on his head, which was in danger.
Apart from the hair problem, he looks pretty and thin, has no expression on his face, and it seems that he has not found the actor he likes and is not in a high mood.
This was the first time Yu Xing saw Xiang Xiaoqun head-on. He took off his hat and mask. Several people who were staring at him from the beginning of his door lit up.
"Yu Xing, right? We have read your information. Did you graduate from Ruibo University in Mijin City this year?" The screenwriter next to Xiang Xiaoqun looked through the paper information about the New Year. "Didn't have any performance experience before?"
"Yes." Yu Xing said concisely and was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not feel nervous as if he had seen the great director.
Ruibo University's graduation certificate was created by Zhu Yan for him. It is not difficult for hackers of Zhu Yan to invade the system and then quietly recover and erase the traces of invasion.
"Your appearance is very suitable for the entertainment industry." The investor representative couldn't help but praise.
The investor's surname is Dong, and he is a very respected subordinate of Wang Cheng. According to Zhu Yan's investigation, Dong's subordinate may have also participated in Xiang Xiaoqun's case, and at the least he is also an insider.
Yu Xing accepted the praise calmly and answered several pertinent questions.
"You want to play Ren Xin?" Xiang Xiaoqun kept looking coldly, and suddenly spoke, unable to tell whether he agreed or disagree in his tone.
"Yes, I studied the personalities of each character and found that I like Ren Xin the most." Yu Xing's eyes flashed, and he showed a slightly strange subtle smile.
"There were several auditions before you, including the audition invitation I sent to the entertainment company. Everyone was fighting for this role, and there were all reasons, but no one said they liked him." Xiang Xiaoqun leaned forward slightly, giving people a sense of oppression like a big director, "Do you know why?"
Yu Xing said: "Because he is a pervert, he does not match the three views of ordinary people, or he does not dare to show it."
"Then why do you dare? Do you really know what kind of person Ren Xin is? After seeing some scripts, what made you say the word "like"?" Xiang Xiaoqun's questions came one after another, and even seemed a little aggressive. If it were an inexperienced newcomer, he might have been so nervous that he was about to cry.
Yu Xing licked his lips in his burning eyes and smiled, "There are not so many miscellaneous concerns. I like him, so I can play him well, that's all."
In the ears of the people sitting at this time, his words were simply arrogant. Xiang Xiaoqun was still staring at him, his eyes even more serious than before: "Since that's the case, let's act and prove to me that you are not talking big."
Yu Xing said there was no problem.
Xiang Xiaoqun didn't have to translate the script and said lightly: "Play in the No. 2."
The script given out is numbered according to No. 1, 2, 3. The three scenes of Ren Xin's role are in three different periods. No. 1 is when Ren Xin disguised himself as a normal person and stayed with the protagonist, No. 2 is the first time the audience saw Ren Xin killing from the perspective of God, and No. 3 is a conversation when Ren Xin chased the protagonist.
No. 2 is the most difficult one, with the least lines, many emotions can only be expressed through eyes and movements, and there is no physical performance. Perhaps it was Yu Xing's self-confidence that made Xiang Xiaoqun curious and made things difficult for him as soon as he got up.
Of course, Yu Xing had no problem. He took two steps back and said that he had started.
...
The male and female protagonists who split their perception are a couple of graduate students who have just started school. The male protagonist studied bioengineering, and the female protagonist is the same. They have been in love for two years and have an extraordinary tacit understanding between each other, which is also the key to the two's final counterattack against Ren Xin.
Ren Xin is the male protagonist's new roommate. Not long after the film started, Ren Xin officially debuted with a very cheerful and talkative image. He soon became familiar with the male protagonist and became the male protagonist's best friend after he was promoted to graduate school.
He is particularly good at hiding his true character. At most, the audience thinks he is a funny guy, and he complains and assists, and is a great hero who is getting better and better in the relationship between the male and female protagonists.
In addition, Ren Xin has very good external conditions. There are always girls coming to him to confess, but he refuses them simply. He is a decisive person.
Regarding appearance, Yu Xing was very confident that Xiang Xiaoqun's eyes would lit up as soon as he entered the door - because the face of the character Ren Xin was simply a character he wrote with his own template, and was 80% similar to him.
In general, this is a very likable character in the early stage. In the editing effect, it will create a nervous illusion that Ren Xin has been targeted by the killer. Therefore, when Ren Xin shows the identity of a killer and kills a person under the nose of the male protagonist, but the male protagonist is blinded and knows nothing, the fear in the audience will reach its peak.
