Actors have no vacation

Chapter 104 The audition is over

"Red Boy vs. Black Cat Detective":
Nearly a thousand years have passed since Honghaier was adopted by Guanyin, and he has reached the age when he should be on his own.Avalokitesvara imitates Tathagata Buddha and sends red boys to travel around the world. Only after going through eight or eight difficulties can he become a fairy.

Hong Haier was very excited, thinking that even Sun Monkey could handle it, so he must be able to.When he eagerly came to the mortal world, he never expected that the mortal world had already changed.The goblins have long stopped killing at will, and they have developed a unique political system; carnivorous, herbivorous, and arthropods live together; vigorously develop the economy and science, and emphasize the rule of law and morality.

Red Boy's heart was ashamed, and the more he watched, the more he felt that he couldn't go back to the sky. After a few days of being so dazed and hungry, he walked to the river by accident one afternoon, and witnessed a few carnivores bullying herbivores on campus.As if seeing himself 1000 years ago, Hong Haier immediately went to stop him.Spit out a mouthful of Samadhi real fire, intending to frighten the bear children, but unexpectedly, the "Samadhi real fire" changed its flavor. Under the light of the fire, several animal cubs suddenly entered a mysterious state and began to do their homework.

"Samadhi" is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word "Samādhi", which is translated as "fixed", that is, the "fixed" of "meditation", which refers to the state of concentration.Animals can enter a state of engrossment within the thermal radiation range of "Sanmai Real Fire".Looking at the animals who were struggling to write and write, turning fighting into motivation for learning, Honghaier found a business opportunity and immediately began selling candles lit with "Sanmai Real Fire" around the school.It didn't take long for the students' learning enthusiasm and grades to rise steadily, and it was too late to engage in campus bullying.Red Boy has made money and done good deeds. He seems to have found a mission and is ready to settle down in the mortal world and travel and practice.

However, this matter spread to the ears of Black Cat Detective, Black Cat Detective sneered and said...

"[The more you emphasize that you are doing good deeds, the more problematic it will be!]" Director Tian murmured again, writing lines in the blank space next to the picture.

In the drawing on the paper, a scribbled black cat detective, twirling his beard, is staring at a photo with piercing brass bell eyes. On it is a boy wearing a red bellyband and a pair of horns.

"[A black household with unknown background, under the banner of doing good deeds...]"

"Director Tian."

“[Selling a new type of hallucinogen with unknown ingredients…]”

"Director Tian!"

"Huh?" Director Tian stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at the person who made the sound.

The producer sitting next to him asked: "The actors and actresses are all here. Shall we wait, or start now?" After speaking, he glanced at the draft paper in front of Director Tian.

Director Tian realized that it was time for the audition.Putting away the "Red Boy vs. Black Cat Detective" that he scribbled to pass the time, he said, "Let's start now."

The assistant, who was standing in the corner waiting for orders, immediately walked out of the room to inform the actors that the audition had started.

Director Tian picked up the first actor card.

The first person to audition was a slightly ugly actor who was affectionately called Xiaojiang by the producer.

In terms of resume alone, Xiao Jiang, who is good at action movies and comedies, is a strong candidate for the role of the killer in "The Key to Destiny".The producer strongly recommends him, which is not outrageous.

However, Xiao Jiang has been on the set since he was a child, and he has been in contact with all kinds of people. He has already become a big and small person, with a slippery Jianghu spirit, which is not in line with the feeling that Director Tian wants.

The door opened, and a man in his thirties came in with a poking smile.

"Director Tian, ​​Brother Zhang, Director Wang..." Xiao Jiang greeted the people sitting behind the table one by one.There was a warm smile on his face, and there was no nervous expression.

When the people in the room saw him, they unconsciously raised their eyebrows and smiled, and the seriousness in the air was instantly dispelled.

Director Tian also smiled like Maitreya, but his eyes went straight to Xiaojiang's body.Compared with the figure of the last meeting.

When Xiao Jiang was brought to meet by the producer last time, he still let Xiao Jiang take off his clothes by surprise. covered with fat.

As for now...

"Take off your clothes and have a look." Director Tian said.

Xiao Jiang still said nothing, and took off his clothes.

The others watched quietly, not seeing it as sexual harassment—there were cameras in the room recording it.

Compared with the last time we met, my body has become much stronger, which shows that I have been exercising well during this time.Although Xiao Jiang is sucking his stomach slightly at this time, it is estimated that in about a month, his figure will return to the peak appearance in previous action movies.

"Okay, let's put it on." Director Tian asked Xiao Jiang to put on the clothes.

After Xiaojiang got dressed, he waited to perform his lines.

However, what awaited him was Director Tian's words:
"Next, go to the next room to cook something."

"What? Cooking?" Xiaojiang opened his mouth in confusion.

His doubts, through his expression and tone, suddenly became a sense of joy, and began to exaggerate the people in the room.

"The killer was brought to the restaurant and worked on the first day." Director Tian said.

Xiao Jiang thought about it.

In the script, it is only written that the killer works part-time in a restaurant and is good at using knives.Few other details are available.

Generally, the style of this [playing games] part is relaxed and cheerful, so as to highlight the difference between killers and ordinary people's work skills, so as to form a contrast.

Xiao Jiang nodded with a smile, understood what the director wanted to see, left the room, and walked to the next box.

The box next door has been turned into a simple kitchen.There are induction cookers, pots and pans, and several kinds of ingredients.

Acting as the assistant director of "restaurant owner", he quickly entered the role, leading 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 certain switch was turned on, and he slashed at the ingredients exaggeratedly.After cutting the ingredients, Xiao Jiang's ugly face raised narcissistic expressions of [I'm so handsome] and [I'm petrified by my uncle's charm].

Everyone in Tian Dao's box next door, staring at the real-time transmission monitor screen, was amused by that expression.

The producer kept praising "Not bad" and "Not bad".

Director Tian looked at Xiaojiang's sword skill which was slightly better than ordinary people, and thought of Guan Chen.In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad. Editing can be used to deal with this part, and special effects can be used to exaggerate to show the superb knife skills.But thinking of Guan Chen's sword skills, I don't know what the effect will be in real shooting.

On the screen, after Xiao Jiang cuts the ingredients, under the guidance and supervision of the [restaurant owner], he starts to cook.The movements are still wide open and close, like stabbing someone with a shovel, almost half of the vegetables in the pot fly out.

After Xiao Jiang came out, he went back to the audition box and chatted with Director Tian and the others. Director Tian nodded and said that the audition was over.

After Xiao Jiang left, everyone in the room was 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 audition was Director Tian's favorite actor named Xiang Jun.

The first is to undress to see the figure.

Xiang Jun's figure is just average, with no signs of exercise.Because he had been filming in other crews before, he couldn't suddenly start exercising.But "The filming over there is over now, and I have started a muscle-building plan since the day before yesterday." Xiang Jun said that he did not underestimate Director Tian's project.

Director Tian nodded.

After a brief chat, Xiang Jun was told to go to the next room to cook.

After Xiang Jun heard this request, he didn't panic, he just thought about it calmly, and then proposed to spend a few minutes to prepare before going to the kitchen next door.

Director Tian agreed.

After he returned to the kitchen and began to perform, Director Tian and the others discovered that Xiang Jun spent a few minutes preparing props for himself just now.

Unlike Xiaojiang who picks up a knife and cuts fiercely, Xiang Jun first took out a ruler, a square, and a tape measure, and measured the length of the ingredients with ease, showing a very craftsman spirit.

It seems to memorize the position corresponding to each scale. After Xiang Jun started cutting vegetables, every ups and downs of the wrist and the interval of every knife are all exactly the same-of course, the cut things cannot be seen, but Director Tian and others have understood The meaning that the item wants to express.

He played a robot killer.

After starting to cook, Xiang Jun even took off his watch, stared at the time frequently, and asked the [restaurant owner] "How long does it take for each shovel", "How many grams of salt to add", "How many milliliters of water should I pour?" ".

The producers whispered to each other: "This is interesting."

Director Tian also nodded.

Director Tian likes to eat, and cooks himself when he is free.

He believes that a person's personality can be seen from the way he cooks.

Asking the actors to stir-fry is actually to test their understanding of the killer.

Both Xiaojiang and Xiang Jun showed killers with different styles.

But the next two people who tried it were very flat, without much personality of professional killers.

Next, it was Guan Chen's turn.

Everyone in the room was looking forward to it.

As for Guan Chen, because of Zhang Jingsheng's endorsement, they would not despise Guan Chen or feel that there is no need to try him.There has never been a shortage of blockbuster actors in this circle, and what has always been lacking are geniuses who are both blockbusters and blockbusters.

They have now raised their expectations, waiting to see how much surprise Guan Chen will bring them.

The door opened.

Guan Chen walked in.

"Director Tian, ​​did you deliberately not finish the last page of the script, or did you not know how to write it?" Before Guan Chen sat down, he ignored the scrutiny of other people and asked Director Tian directly.

"!" Everyone was shocked.

Is this what director Tian described before as "not blending into the crowd"?

This is obviously cutting oneself off from the crowd, right?

"The last page is kept secret for the time being, and I can't tell you." Director Tian smiled and said to Guan Chen, as if he didn't feel offended.

"So it's already written?" Guan Chen's eyes lit up.

"You'll know when you pass." Director Tian refused to answer directly.

"Okay, come on." Guan Chen eagerly asked, "Which part shall I play?"

"Don't worry," Director Tian said, "Take off your clothes first." After finishing speaking, he added, "The camera is on all the time. If you feel that you have been harassed during the process, you can sue us afterwards."

"Your big company, can I still worry about it? Haha." Guan Chen stood up, pretending that he planned to take off his coat cooperatively from the beginning.

Guan Chen threw his clothes on the ground, making the sound of bits and pieces colliding.

The producer wondered: "Are there a lot of things in your pocket?"

"Oh, they are just small props to help experience the character." Guan Chen waved his hand.

The producer became interested and asked, "What props?"

While taking off his clothes, Guan Chen said, "Although the killer has lost his memory, according to the doctor, he has not forgotten the common sense of life and even some small habits. So, since the [killer] knows how to dress, he must have Some ingrained habits remain. Like..."

"For example?" Director Tian asked.

Guan Chen was naked, bent down and took out a roll of ten centimeters long from his coat pocket, and said, "For example, put a bundle of coins in your pocket."

"What's the use of these coins?" Director Tian quickly thought: "Take the bus to get rid of the follower?"

"That's just the most basic." Guan Chen enthusiastically gave Tian a popular science guide:

“If you’re wearing a jacket, the hem gets in the way when you’re drawing the gun. But if you have a bunch of coins in your pocket, the center of gravity of the jacket goes down so you can swing the hem when you draw the gun, and it doesn’t rattle.”

After speaking, he put his coat back on and demonstrated the action of drawing a gun.

"When you have bare hands and no weapons, hold this bundle of coins in the palm of your hand, which can increase the density of your fists and increase the damage." Guan Chen, who took off his coat, finished speaking, holding the coins and punching them vigorously into the air. Several sets of combined punches, each punch is fast and sharp.The air in the room seemed to be stirred by someone, and everyone felt the breeze blowing on their faces, making people want to swallow.

Guan Chen was naked. Director He Tian and the others watched Guan Chen punching and felt that the muscles on his body were like living things. Every time he breathed and breathed, every muscle seemed to be linked, not the one in the gym. Plant one part and practice one part at a time.

Looking at Guan Chen like this, everyone has no doubt that he has the ability to kill people with bare hands.

After playing a few sets of punches, Guan Chen continued to introduce the use of coins without panting, and his physical strength was quite good:

"If you wrap these coins with cloth, you can use them as a hammer to attack the enemy covertly. Elastic cloth like socks is the best." Guan Chen took off his socks and put the bundle of coins Go in, then grab the end and shake and shake, and you have a simple and dangerous meteor hammer.

Everyone held their breath.I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of smelling something, or because I'm afraid of being hit on the head.

Guan Chen's science popularization is not over yet.He stopped swinging the hammer and bent down to fumble for something in his coat pocket: "If you put a few nails in the coin and wrap it with tape, you can hold it as a knuckle..."

"Enough, enough, enough..." Director Tian hurriedly stopped.Listening to this function after function, they can hardly recognize the original appearance of the coin.

"Is it enough clothes, or enough coins?" Guan Chen had a coat in one hand and coins in the other.

"Clothes, put them back on."

"Oh. In short, the coin is a prop that will not cause any problems even if it is searched by the police." Guan Chen put on his clothes again, insisted on finishing the last sentence, and then asked, "Which part of the show will we start next?"

"The scene where the killer is brought to the restaurant on the first day of work." Director Tian said, "Go to the box next door to cook."

"Stir-fried vegetables?" Guan Chen laughed ho-ho-ho, and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, I'm well prepared."

When Guan Chen left the door, everyone couldn't wait to communicate.

"He is too proficient!..."

"Hey, does he really know any killer?"

"I have a friend who worked on the crew of "The Police". I heard that Guan Chen's background is actually not simple. I thought it was a joke before, but now that I think about it..."

"..."

Director Tian also rubbed his head to reflect on what happened just now.

I feel that Guan Chen has never followed an ordinary path since he entered the door.In just a few minutes, the impression left on everyone is enough, and half of the "surprise" has been achieved.

On the screen, they saw Guan Chen walking into the simple kitchen, immediately stopped discussing and stared at Guan Chen carefully.

I want to see how Guan Chen's real performance is.

Acting as the assistant director of [Restaurant Owner], reciting lines that were not in the script, leading Guan Chen to introduce the layout of the kitchen, and then gave him a task.

"Your task now is to cut up these dishes and fry them into one dish." The restaurant owner pointed to the ingredients on the long table.

Guan Chen nodded, stood in front of the chopping board and picked up the knife.

From the moment the knife was in his hand, Guan Chen's gaze suddenly became extremely stern.

He brought a carrot, put it on the chopping board, and tilted his head, as if he had sensed something. The next second, the carrot was wiped off by the knife, like a dead body that hadn't reacted. "The carrots immediately fell into a collection of dozens of slices of carrots.

This is not over yet, Guan Chen has not let them go.He took the carrot slices and continued cutting them into carrot strips two centimeters in length.Then there are small carrot particles, carrot foam...

The knife is like his extended finger, and when it wipes the ingredients, the ingredients are dismembered into strips, pieces, and grains.

Through the camera facing Guan Chen, the producers, supervisors, and the others shouted "Oh!", "Hoo!" in surprise.

Because things like body can be trained in a short period of time, but sword skills can't.

"This knife is so cool.", "It directly saves money for special effects.", "Hahahahaha, look, he really cuts everything! He even cut vegetables into powder."

In the crowd, Director Tian didn't smile.Not only because he saw this scene at the party last month, but because he stared at Guan Chen's eyes through the screen, feeling something heavy inside.

Guan Chen's face was expressionless, corresponding to the green vegetables and eggplants that were almost chopped into powder in front of him, as if he was making a serious joke, with a contrasting sense of joy.

But looking into Guan Chen's eyes, Director Tian felt that things were not that simple.

Guan Chen's eyes seemed to be hiding something very hidden, for example...

"confused?"

This is easy to understand.It is normal for a person with amnesia to suddenly realize that he is very good at knives.

However, apart from confusion, there seems to be something else.and also……

"fear?"

Director Tian hissed.

"So it's such a killer..." Director Tian stared at the screen and muttered to himself.

Guan Chen was concentrating on cutting the vegetables, and the time passed.Seeing that Guan Chen's posture was so old, the restaurant owner immediately asked him to start cooking.

Guan Chen immediately stopped chopping vegetables and turned to cooking.

But Guan Chen didn't seem to know how to stir-fry at all, and the restaurant owner instructed him when to put what and when to put salt.

"Xiao Du, let Lao Ding come out." Director Tian suddenly sent his assistant to call out the restaurant owner next to Guan Chen, "Gently, don't disturb Guan Chen."

The assistant let out an oh and ran to the next door.

Although the assistant director who played "Restaurant Owner" didn't know why, he had a tacit understanding with director Tian, ​​knowing that his old partner had a new idea, so he left the simple kitchen quietly.

Then Director Tian and the others saw that on the screen, Guan Chen had been frying the vegetables over and over again, without adding ingredients or turning off the fire. He looked for the restaurant owner with a blank expression, as if he had no instructions from others. Don't know what to do.

"Although the killer robot played by Xiang Jun is very good, I always feel that someone like Guan Chen is a machine..." the producer said with emotion.

"It's better to say that he is playing a dog." Director Tian smiled and stroked his belly, "A dog that has lost its owner and lost its way for a while."

On the screen, the dishes in front of Guan Chen were already mushy, and he was still stirring.

"Okay. Bring him here." Director Tian looked at the smoky screen and asked his assistant to save people and prevent Guan Chen from dying inside.

After a while, Guan Chen rubbed his nose and walked in.

After entering the house, he took out a pamphlet from his pocket and began to write something.

Director Tian saw that this thing was taken out of his coat pocket, and knew that it was also one of the props prepared by Guan Chen, so he asked, "Can you show me?"

Guan Chen didn't know what this guy was going to do, but he still handed over the little book.

Director Tian turned to the [good at] page, on which there were [multilingual], [tracking and anti-tracking]...

On the adjacent [not good at] page, there are [soccer], [cut nails for cats]... the bottom line is newly written [cooking].

"Is this also the habit of killers?" Director Tian asked.

"It's just my habit..." Guan Chen said.What made Guan Chen look stern was not the knife, but the "task" that the restaurant owner said before.

Director Tian praised: "That's right, recording data and analyzing intelligence after the killer loses his memory is also one of the deep-rooted professional habits."

"Multiple languages? Which ones do you know?" the producer asked.

Guan Chen said a few words about the meeting.There are English, French, Italian, Sakura Mandarin, White Bear Mandarin...

Someone listened, and suddenly whispered: "Amazing, that Xiang Jun in front seems to only be able to speak French."

"This is awesome."

"Too well-prepared. The people behind can only win unless they know alien languages..."

"It's okay, it's okay." The producer belatedly praised, "As expected of a high-achieving student."

After returning the pamphlet to Guan Chen, Director Tian chatted with Guan Chen just now, "Why do you keep cooking until it becomes mushy?"

Guan Chen said that there is no law in the killer's dark world, and everything follows the original rules.is the more immediate world of patriarchy.And patriarchy controls others, the most common method is fear.

The killer was trained and trained by the agent from an early age, and brainwashing and control were inevitable.The agent's strength and inability to resist are rooted in the killer's heart.

That's why when he heard the word "task", he seemed to have been turned on and turned into the person he used to be.He is not afraid of death during the mission, what he is afraid of is facing the manager after the mission fails.

But he lost his memory, and the memory that supported this fear is gone, so while the killer is afraid, he is also confused about the crisis deep in his heart.

"Only if you have faced and analyzed your own fears, the killer will bravely resist when facing the agent." Guan Chen said.

Director Tian nodded in satisfaction.

Not only because he guessed Guan Chen's intentions and thoughts, but also because the actors who auditioned before, in this session, more or less thought about how to be funny and how to make the atmosphere funny.However, only Guan Chen didn't pay much attention to whether the genre of the movie was a comedy or an action movie. He just sank into the killer's heart and devoted himself to playing the role of a killer with amnesia.Even his "everything can be cut" food processing method is an innate talent. Although it is funny, it is not deliberately acted...

"Okay." Director Tian had a good idea of ​​Guan Chen's preparation and performance, and was ready to end the audition.

The others also nodded, feeling that such Guan Chen does have the strength that Zhang Jingsheng valued.

The assistant opened the door politely.

however,
"Don't worry, I still have questions." Guan Chen raised his hand, expressing that he was not in a hurry to leave.

"..." Everyone froze for a moment, then laughed.Faced with Guan Chen's behavior that left everyone in the industry speechless, everyone felt that they were gradually getting used to it.

"Tell me." Director Tian asked his assistant to close the door.

"After the killer regained his memory, he found his home and confronted the waste material for the first time." Guan Chen flipped the script to the scene he mentioned.

In the script, Waste Material actually has a name, but Guan Chen still calls him Waste Material out of habit.

"What's wrong with this part?" Director Tian asked.

In the script, Waste Cai spent the killer's money and messed up the killer's house. He was caught by the killer, and after being reprimanded, Waste Material became furious and said, "You murderer, what qualifications do you have to teach me!" 】

After the killer heard it, he couldn't say anything to refute.

"Here, the killer's conscience has been awakened a little quickly." Guan Chen frowned, and said, "He has just regained his memory here, so he should still be the same as before. Even if there is a little confusion, his first reaction is 'that's not me. ', and then completely buried the experience of amnesia."

"Have you thought about it here, or is it just like this?" Guan Chen pointed to this page, wondering, "It's a bit strange here, and it's not at the same level as the context."

No matter how well the people in the room got used to Guan Chen's unconventional way, they were still shocked when they heard this.

"The last sentence is over. If there is a problem, just talk about it." The producer was worried that Director Tian would be angry, so he stepped forward to defend it.

Director Tian waved his hand to show that he didn't mind. "Jing Sheng said that you have ideas. Tell me, what would the killer say at that time?"

Guan Chen said calmly:

"He should have asked the trash, [I am a murderer, so do you think you are a good person? Steal my keys, break into my house, spend my money, and pretend to be my identity.]"

“[You think you are a good person, so do you know what happened in the Middle East? Do you know that tens of thousands of children in Africa die every day from malnutrition and infectious diseases? Have you participated in any international human rights organizations? Do you know how many There is no way to save yourself? You don’t know the children who died in Africa, and you don’t know the people I killed. Besides, they are also heinous, so they were offered a reward. I said you are not a good person, what are you angry about? Woolen cloth?】"

"[Tell me, what kind of person can be considered a good person?]"

Director Tian saw that Guan Chen's eyes were full of doubts.

Facing these eyes is like facing the eyes of the killer in the story.

The doubt inside is not irony, but curiosity and longing.

Like a robot asking for feelings it cannot have.

Like a blind man waiting for someone to describe a color to him.

Like a child, looking for answers.
