Chapter VII
Zhou Heting scared the on-site assistant during the audition The news soon spread, in fact, the sound insulation effect of the performance room was not good, many artists at the scene at that time could hear his roar through the wall, and even a few people whose acting skills were not so hard decided to give up the audition for this role after hearing it.
And Lu Pin, who was standing anxiously waiting outside the door, was completely stupid.
Even when Zhou Er's demeanor was calm, and he didn't have the guilt that the perpetrator of "scared the little assistant crying in vain" should have, and walked out of the performance room unusually calmly, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to get close, and could only wander a few steps away.
Zhou He didn't seem to care much when he heard this, but he straightened his collar and walked out of the door as usual. He didn't even look at the fragile cracked expressions of the mediocre competitors around him. Of course, I didn't care about Lu Pin's obviously frightened, pitiful eyes like a rabbit.
Zhou Erting walked forward, but at the same time he was thinking about another thing in his heart.
Just now after he finished acting, he deliberately observed the expressions of the three judges opposite, Yan Ru didn't need to say much, and the screenwriter had an expression that he had never seen anything in the world. However, when he cast his gaze on the face of the young man sitting on the far left, he keenly caught a strange hint of hostility. He has always been cold and straightforward to treat people, and if he likes it, it will not be too obvious, but when he is disgusted, he will express it very simply, because he has not paid too much attention to outsiders, and he will not produce any extreme negative feelings.
But on the face of the man who was only on the side, or on the body, he actually saw the hostility towards himself, and seemed to be brewing something. This made him very uncomfortable, so he left the performance room hastily, and pushed the door without even listening to the final comments of these people.
Rather than dwelling on things that he couldn't figure out, he thought it would be better to focus on something else. So after getting in the car, he said to Lu Pin, who had been quiet beside him, who had been quiet: "The action I wanted to add before was really good." β
Before Lu Pin could ease up, the little assistant shuddered when he heard this, and asked in a soft voice: "You...... Are you out of the play?"
Zhou He thought it was funny to ask, but anyone with long eyes could see that it was clearly the person who was still in the play, and this person actually asked himself if he was in the play?
"Are you scared by me?" the end of his words was a little playful.
Who knew that Lu Pin actually nodded honestly like pounding garlic.
When Zhou Er heard his appearance, he put away his relaxed expression and said sternly: "You are not frightened by me, but by Huoda." β
Lu Pin was a little confused, "What, what Huoda?"
"I just did what Hoda would do, so it wasn't me who hammered the wall to scare people into crying, it was Hoda. β
Lu Pin listened to his nonsense, and saw that he looked like a god, he only felt that he wanted to cry without tears, and he was so aggrieved that he couldn't do it, "You are insane! Who are you lying to me by throwing a pillow at me this morning!"
Zhou He felt that he was really wronged, but it can be seen that his pitiful appearance is not too reluctant to continue bullying, so he has to laugh and give up.
Maybe others will think that Yan Ru poached him from England and only gave him an audition that was not considered a leading role. However, for Zhou Erting, there is no difference between the main role and the trick in acting. From a certain point of view, he is an extremely honest and responsible person, he can perfect the male No. 1 watch who picks the beam, and he can also lie on the ground and be a cannon fodder corpse that kills at the beginning. Whether it is playing a psychiatrist with a split personality or a small citizen who quietly picks up a load of water and walks slowly behind the protagonist, every person involved has a role to play in the whole work.
Since he was a child, he has been peeking at the rehearsals of those first-class theater actors in the corner of the drama theater in the European continent, and he is imperceptible in silence. Whether it was a child's ability to deceive the sympathy of passers-by by a pretty baby face to earn money to eat, or a low-key resident actor who never revealed his real name and always used a pseudonym as a young man shuttling through all the big theatres in the UK, he firmly believes that after more than 20 years of entanglement, acting has long become a part of his life. Although he is not the kind of actor who can show his love for acting on the outside, deep down he knows very well what this career means to him.
He doesn't understand the rules of the entertainment industry, and he doesn't care about these things, in his opinion, there is no difference between being an actor and being a chef or a blacksmith. Making money is not the goal, just being able to make a living, what really makes him happy is not the sky-high honorarium, but every minute and second of performing on stage as an actor. He doesn't even mind what kind of small role he is assigned to him, and he doesn't even have lines, as long as he can act, he will be very satisfied.
So when Yan Ru came to persuade him to return to China for development, he really used his brains. In fact, people like Zhou and Ting are very easy to abduct, as long as they prove to him that being an actor in China can also happily live his previous simple life of acting, eating, sleeping, and three o'clock and one line, once he finally believes this set of rhetoric, it will be a matter of minutes for him to go to Java. So this kind of actor is very popular with investors - he will not have the slightest bargain with you on salary, and even you can easily get it if you give him food and accommodation.
What's more, Zhou Erting was at another low point in his life at that time, and he had also thought about it when he was entangled by Yan Ru to the end and was about to compromise, he had already experienced the worst, and it seemed that there was nothing to worry about losing.
However, at this time, he didn't know what kind of circle he was about to get involved in after returning to China after listening to Yan Ru's words......
The audition was already over after the performance.
Chunshan Yu is the only layman among the three, but as a layman, he was really stunned when he saw the excitement, and he just couldn't wait to applaud the case.
"That's it, just him! Just let him play Hoda, he didn't run away! Oh my God, my goosebumps haven't gone down yet. β
Old God Yan Ru took a sip of hot tea on the ground, turned his head sideways to look at Pei Ji, who was still silent, and said, "What do you think?"
Pei Ji still looked serious, and after being asked, he pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly showed a smile, "Okay, pretty good." But Chunshan, I have a small request. β
Chunshan Yu was inexplicable, "What do you ask?
"I want you to play for Hodaga. β
Both of them were stunned when they heard this.
Yan Ru looked at Pei Ji meaningfully, this kid has known him for many years, and his temperament has long been familiar with it. After thinking about it for a while, he already knew it in his heart.
And Chunshan Yu continued to play the role of mindlessness conscientiously, and asked stupidly: "Add drama? Isn't it all going to be finalized, what kind of drama are you adding now?" β
"It doesn't take much, you just need to add a few more scenes to me against this person. If Pei Ji could look in the mirror now, he would find that when he said this, he was like an aggressive lion, ready for a duel.
Pei Ji was born in a family of performers, since he was a child, he followed his parents and grandparents in and out of various theater sets, and has seen what kind of characters a real performing artist is, under the influence of many years, he has already had an extremely thorough understanding of this kind of people, that is a group of seniors who are really obsessed with performing arts, do not seek fame and fortune, just to be the purest actor, and the investment they show when performing the role of the writer is unimaginable to ordinary artists. In these people, he can experience an inexplicable aura, just like a kind of arrogance carried by the ancient aristocracy, such arrogance does not need any superior appearance, let alone the so-called big name, but a kind of backbone hard arrogance that can be keen on what he loves and can give full play to this love to the extreme.
He could see this pride in the faces of skilled technicians, chefs in five-star restaurants, and even champions of top sporting events. That's what he's been pursuing, and now he's actually seeing it in a young man who is not as old as himself and who is not well-known. Shocked, he couldn't wait to get to know this man and surpass him completely.
He was extremely uncalm when he first watched Zhou Er's performance, but now that he finally came to his senses, he thought a lot in his mind, and guessed a lot, but he couldn't guess the origin of this person anyway.
However, the person was dug by Yan Ru, so he naturally knew the details.
During the day, it was not good for him to ask directly in front of others, and when it was dark, he finalized the details of many contracts and finally returned to his apartment, and directly dialed Yan Ru's phone.
"I knew you kid would be out of breath and call. Yan Ru said with a confident tone, "How about it, I didn't lie to you." β
Pei Ji casually poured himself a glass of red wine, and looked at it under the bright light, "I looked up his name on the Internet, and even looked over foreign websites, whether it was Zhou Erting's name or his English name, I didn't find any useful information." Teacher, what the hell is he coming from?"
Yan Ru was not as happy as he imagined, but replied: "I won't tell you this, I promised him that he wouldn't say it." But maybe one day you become friends, and he will confess to you himself. β
Pei Ji was not annoyed, and laughed when he heard this, "Teacher Yan, I am your proud protΓ©gΓ©, can you bear to hide it from me?"
"It's a stinky boy, it's useless to be coquettish with me. If you want to know, just ask for yourself. β
Pei Ji also knew that it would not be so easy to let Yan Ru tell him the truth, so he sighed quietly, and said bitterly: "Alas, I haven't been in touch for a month, and the relationship between master and apprentice is like this, and I gave you such a big business." β
Yan Ru's laughter and scolding came from the earpiece, but Pei Ji thought a lot in his heart.
"Teacher Yan," he suddenly straightened up with his cynical tone, "Listen to Zhou, I won't have any kinship with you." β
Sure enough, there was silence over there, and after a long time, I heard Yan Ru's cold voice coming again, and the voice that was converted into an electric current signal was a little distorted, but the vigilance and anger between the words Pei Ji would definitely not hear it wrong.
"It's not something you can manage. I still have activities tomorrow morning, so I'll rest first. β
After that, the phone hung up, and a "beep" went deep into Pei Ji's cochlea.
