Section 12: Audition

"Am I on?"

Duane pointed to his nose.

To be honest, when he heard Zhang Jiayi mention yì, he was really a little moved - of course, his heart was not "addicted to drama" or anything, in his opinion, that statement was simply nonsense - his heart was moved because the remuneration for this role was 2,000 yuan!

Maybe this money is not much in the eyes of those professional actors, but in his opinion, it is a lot, and at the same time, he realized that he is cheap as a director.

The salary of such a small role is 2,000, but he is a dignified director but only 5,000, which is really sad.

"yes. ”

Zhang Jiayi nodded affirmatively, but he still remembered the acting skills shown by Du An's on the day of the interview.

Duane hesitated.

He looked at Zhang Jiayi, then at Shu Yu, and asked tentatively, "Why don't I try?" He wanted to agree and get the two thousand yuan, but this matter was not his business alone, but it was also related to Shu Yu's interests.

Shu Yu didn't want to agree, but Zhang Jiayi gave her the impression that he was calm and reliable, since he said so, he must have his reasons, so he also nodded and agreed.

"Try it. ”

Anyway, there's nothing to lose by trying, so if it doesn't work, I'll look for it again.

Self-directing and self-acting are common, but as a director, he didn't have a role, but he filmed himself as an actor, this kind of thing is rare, it's fresh. After the news spread, the crew came to the No. 3 scene one by two, and everyone was filled with excited smiles on their faces - I was a little excited to see the director who usually pointed fingers "become" the same as them.

It's an audition now, not an official shooting, and you don't need to open it according to the rules, but whether it can work or not depends on the opinions of the director Duane himself, so the machine is still open, so that Duane can see his performance and make a judgment.

The content of the scene used for the audition is: When the specified time is up, Jiang Wei has not killed Han Sheng, and according to the rules of the game, Wang Xingfa, who kidnapped Jiang Wei's wife and daughter, is going to kill them.

Originally, what was going to be filmed immediately was not this scene, but the scene where Wang Xingfa kidnapped Jiang Wei's wife and daughter, but that scene did not have much acting for Wang Xingfa's role, so it was changed to this scene to audition. Since it is the same three-person play, the actors are already in place, and the location is the same, so the set does not need to be changed, and the two actors, one big and one small, can start when they sit on the ground.

"Let's go!"

Shu Yu made a cameo appearance as her assistant director again and shouted the password.

Crunch

Duane opened the door and walked in, because it was an audition, in addition to pinning a prop gun on his waist that he would need to use, he was still dressed as a migrant worker, where was the image of a perverted murderer?

"Flutter"

Zhu Yuchen couldn't help laughing for the first time, but fortunately, he also knew that this was not an occasion for play, so he quickly covered his mouth.

Duane paused at the door.

I don't know what's going on, he only stayed for two seconds, but it feels like it's been a long time, as if time has suddenly been stretched out at this moment.

Then he glanced at Yao Li.

The panic of his own poisoning, the anxiety and fear of killing with his own hands, and the regret that he didn't do when he had the opportunity to take advantage of this woman...... This series of emotions that need to be expressed passed through Duane's mind. As the screenwriter and director of this movie, probably no one understands this character and the image that this character needs better than him, and this qiΔ“ love is contained in this meal, this eye.

He raised his brows, his mouth slightly open, and seemed to sigh, but he didn't make a sound.

Then Duane quickened his pace, strode towards the two actors who were sitting at the end of the bed, one big and one small, and as he went, he took the gun from his waist, but it didn't go wellβ€”he seemed to have pulled something when he drew it, and he pulled it out again.

God knows what part of that prop gun won't hook the belt at all!

In the end, he took the gun, walked up to the actor Zhu Qian who played Yao Li, squatted down, looked at her, did not speak, and tilted his head slightly.

The set was silent.

Whether they know drama or not, at this moment, in their eyes, the person in front of them is no longer the poor director on weekdays, but another person.

Even though he didn't change anything in appearance, except for the extra prop gun in his hand.

"It's time. ”

Duane stared at Zhu Qian's eyes tightly and said so.

"I've got to do it, and ......"

When he said this, Duane turned his head to the left, his eyes narrowed slightly, his expression was a little unbearable, and finally nodded, as if to convince himself.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm afraid it's up to you to declare him defeated. ”

Duane's head turned back, continuing to stare into Jussy's eyes.

In the play, Wang Xingfa is actually a victim, and he was just an ordinary cleaner before, but now he wants to kill people, psychologically it is not so easy to accept, and he also has his own tangled psychology. Especially now, the fact that the wife announces her husband's failure, and then lets the husband listen to his wife's death on the other end of the phone, is too cruel, and Wang Xingfa himself can't accept it, so he will be unbearable.

But in the end, it was his own life that mattered, and Wang Xingfa finally convinced himself.

Next, Wang Xingfa should have taken out his mobile phone and asked Yao Li to call Jiang Wei, but Du An noticed that the little actor who played Jiang Wei's daughter next to him was looking at him curiously.

This little guy's name is Yang Yilin, eleven years old this year, and he often appears on the programs of Nanyang Variety Channel, and he can barely be regarded as a child star in Nanyang City, and it is the first time he has acted. Shu Yu was willing to make a decision on her, in addition to being far lower than the salary of other film and television child stars, because she valued her stage experience.

"Don't worry, your mother will be you after that. ”

Duane smiled at the little one.

Maybe Wang Xingfa still had some humanity before, but when things came to this point, the dark side of his body was induced little by little, and finally overshadowed the bright side, he has changed from a normal person to a perverted person, killing people is not only not a burden for him, but also faintly looking forward to it - this situation is not uncommon, and many murderers in social news are in this state of mind.

After thinking of this step, Duane's smile also conformed to this state of mind under his adjustment.

This smile contains all kinds of negative emotions such as excitement, cruelty, anticipation, tyranny, etc., but it does not have the warm meaning of the smile itself.

But Duane, who had performed here, suddenly came back to his senses: No, there is no such scene in the script. Immediately, he was annoyed in his heart: adding drama without authorization, and he didn't know if he would lose points for his performance, and there were so many pairs of eyes around him, he couldn't rely on it if he wanted to.

It's a pity that this role can't be played, that's 2,000 yuan......

Before Duane could get out of this regret, a sudden voice startled him.

"Woo......"

Yang Yilin's mouth was tightly pursed, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She let out a small whimper from her throat, then burst into tears, jumped up from the ground, and ran to where her mother was, crying "Mommy!" as she ran.

Duane looked at the back of the child running away and was stunned.

"You scared the kids out of your mind. ”

Zhu Qian, who was in front of him, broke away from the performance state and laughed.

Duane scratched his head, shook his head, and asked Zhu Qian, "Do I look so terrible?"

Zhu Qian nodded, "It was a little scary just now, I was scared." ”

"Hehe, I didn't see that you were really scared, I only saw that you were free, nervous, and acted well. ”

That's right, when he was acting just now, he was also observing Zhu Qian's performance - probably the occupational disease brought about by his current career as a director - and he saw that Zhu Qian did a good job of doing what the script requires: it was a kind of mental detachment and nervousness that seemed stupid at first glance, but was actually ready to resist at any time.

Such a detailed performance is much stronger than Zhu Yuchen and Zhang Yi's style of staring at and crooked nose.

The two of them were chatting like old friends, and the other side was a different scene.

Yang Yilin's children threw themselves into her mother's arms and cried, her mother kept comforting her, but it didn't work, the surrounding set staff helped to comfort her, but the more she comforted the little girl, the louder she cried; those staff who didn't know much about acting, such as props and artists, bit their ears and whispered something like "Our director Du's skills are not bad"; those actors had different expressions and complicated expressions.

Song Zhen muttered in a low voice: "It's really bad, deliberately scared the little girl to cry." After speaking, he walked to Yang Yilin's child and joined the ranks of comforting the little girl.
