Maria sat in a high swivel chair and stared intently at the audition judges in front of her.

This is the last audition for the heroine of "Turan", in the first few times, the judges have already picked on the acting skills and even the temperament of the actors. For Maria, this audition is even more crucial - in the first few auditions, Maria has already noticed Director Shi's hidden hostility to her and deliberately made it difficult, if it weren't for her impeccable appearance, if it weren't for the fairness and outspokenness of the supervisor of the actors' union, I'm afraid she would have fallen in the second selection of the primary. But now that it is the final selection, the judges have almost become Shi Tehua's word......

Maria inhaled deeply, trying to calm her tumbling thoughts, and she reached for the makeup on her face, making sure it was bright enough to cover her face that might have been nervous.

"Miss Maria, are you ready?"

Maria exhaled, held her head high, and her voice was loud: "Ready, please begin." ”

She stole into the pocket of her long skirt and tore up a small note.

"Good." A kind female voice sounded in the middle of the jury, "Miss Maria, "Turan" is an incomparable classic of Gu Yasu, this time it cost money and manpower to gather so many talents in the film industry, and it is precisely to be able to interpret this classic with modern technology. So, if you become the heroine Turan, what would you like to play her? ”

Send sub-questions. Maria's agency team has prepared the answer for her: "I want to interpret the innocent romance of Turan's early years and the twisted struggle of his later years" - "the innocent romance of the early years" fits her delicate girlish face, and "the twisted struggle of the later years" can cater to the judges' taste for acting. In contrast, the era of the middle of Turan was too Mary Sue, even too silly and sweet.

She pursed her lips slightly, ready to recite the answer that was unfaulted and unmistakable.

Yet, very, very slowly, but unstoppablely, some strange emotion surged up from the bottom of her heart, spread from the fingertips of her touching the charm, and with her breath little by little, flowing, invading, circulating with the blood, echoing in the internal organs. Come, soft and firm penetrate into every cell.

Maria took a deep breath and felt a strong and irresistible confidence and excitement revive in her heart. She glanced at the judges' bench, and the hesitation and nervousness in her heart were suddenly swept away. Her heart was beating vigorously, and the rhythm was filled with joy, as if she had returned to the first runway when she was fifteen, and the whole world was cheering for beauty under her pomegranate dress.

"Miss Maria?" Shi Tehua's rigid and stiff voice sounded again, "Have you figured out what to say?" ”

Of course, Maria smiled indifferently, and her heart was full of confidence and joy.

"I will choose to interpret Turan's middle age and old age, I think this is the essence and highlight of Turan's life."

The judges straightened up and looked at her from above in amazement—apparently by surprise. After a long time, Shi Tehua helped his black-framed glasses, and his tone was neither yin nor yang: "Your statement is very innovative, and it is different from the previous auditioners." Is the middle-aged age the essence and highlight of Turan? It's a rare argument. ”

Maria stared at Shi Tehua's aging and rigid face, without any nervousness or timidity, and she said aloud: "If you want to be safe, it is natural to show the romantic innocence of Tulan's youth, and the horror of old age and the distortion of loneliness. However, I think that simple 'naivety' and 'loneliness' are far from enough to express the connotation of Turan. This is just a superficial picture. ”

"Oh?" The old lady in black in the center of the judges' bench widened her eyes, "Can you elaborate a little bit, Miss Maria?" ”

Maria tilted her head slightly, looking squarely at this expert in the history of Yasu, her tone was not slow or hurried, and her tone was steady and steady.

In my opinion, Turan does not fit the image that the world describes her: naïve and romantic in her early years, she was involved in power turmoil and had ambitions in middle age, and she lost her family and love in her later years and died alone. Judging from the epic left by Yasu, this remake of "Turan", Turan is not a naïve girl who strayed into the power field and was polluted, on the contrary, she may have had some kind of ambition from the beginning. ”

Shi Tehua chuckled, but Maria ignored it, her voice still firm and confident: "You can't think of Turan as a woman who is deeply in love and values family affection, and in a sense, you can't even see her as an ordinary 'person'. Since her youth, Turan has skillfully used her intelligence and beauty to maneuver between many powerful men. In middle age, she used her feminine appearance and characteristics to confuse her enemies, and seized the supreme power of Yasu step by step. She is not confused by power, nor is she contaminated by **, in a sense, her purpose from the beginning is power, that is, to control the whole country. Her early experiences were anything but naïve and romantic, and her later years were never painfully distorted. ”

The old lady in black unconsciously straightened her back and stared at her intently.

"So was Turan a natural power freak? I think this analysis is also absurd. Throughout her life, she never relied on power for personal gain—often focusing on her girlhood as naïve, but ignoring the unpretentious simplicity that characterized her long life. She has no offspring, no lovers, no friends, and in the end all that is left is her subordinates and people who fear her. She has immense power, but she has left it to anyone.

"That's why I don't think what she wants is power, at least not the benefits that power brings. So what is she asking for? It is recorded in "Turan" that Turan was dissatisfied with the status quo when he was a child, and vowed to change the whole of Yasu. People may think that this is an afterthought, but I think this is what Turan pursued all his life - not power, not love, not family affection, but a complete Zhengzhi reform, a complete institutional innovation. For Turan, this purpose is her highest criterion, the most basic criterion. In order to practice it, all moral feelings can be utilized, and none of the qiē norms are insignificant. The epic poem "Turan" records a lot of the dark history of this female emperor: playing with men, deceiving feelings, slandering political opponents, and fooling the people...... For a long time, people thought that Turan allowed such historical books to circulate because of the discovery of her conscience in her later years, but is this really the case? Was Turan mild in his later years? Apparently not. Turan's old age has not changed, and the reason why she tolerated the epic Turan is probably because of her disdain for black history - in Turan's view, only her ideals are the highest moral standards, and it is worth paying for it, whether it is love, family, fame, or even life - I think the judges should be familiar with Turan's ending, the female emperor committed suicide and put the notoriety of killing the monarch on her political opponents, thus removing the last obstacle to Yasu's new policy. ”

The judges' seat was silent, every judge was focused, and even Shi Tehua's face showed a thoughtful look.

Maria calmly glanced at the judges, and said unhurriedly: "So what kind of person is Turan?" I find it difficult to evaluate, and Turan probably doesn't care about my evaluation. But I still have to say that people like Turan were born to be forced to change the world. ”

The last sentence fell, and the aftermath was lingering and loud.

After a long time, the old lady in black smiled slightly: "Extremely novel, very profound." Although not very strict...... Miss Maria, you have a gift for history. ”

The rest of the judges nodded their heads, and some even applauded.

Shi Tehua's face froze, he looked at Maria coldly, and opened his mouth expressionlessly: "It is indeed impressive, Miss Maria and her team are indeed well prepared. ”

Obviously, he was suppressing Maria, deliberately saying that this remark was the result of the brokerage team, and obliterating the novelty and uniqueness of this statement.

Shi Tehua paused for a moment and continued: "Miss Maria, Turan is a classic poem of Yasu, such a classic, it is difficult to convey the spirit by translation, have you read the original version of Yasu?" Can you memorize a few words? ”

This time, even the rest of the judges frowned—the Yasu language is known for its profundity, even for historians, and its pronunciation is even more condescending and complicated. It's really difficult to ask an amateur star to recite it......

Seeing Maria's hesitation, Shi Tehua smiled stiffly: "What's the matter, Miss Maria?" You won't recall—"

"Poof."

There was a faint stench in the judges' seats.

"Just wait now?"

The old lady in black looked at Shi Tehua's back as she rushed out of the door holding her stomach, and said quite depressedly.

"Can't wait," said another judge, "this audition was already running out...... The company is about to leave work, and the results must be reported before the end of work. ”

"Shi Dao...... How long does it take? ”

"His stomach is an old problem, and I don't know how it happened today, looking at this situation, I'm afraid it won't be ...... in half an hour."

The judges looked at each other.

"Anyway, the previous audition director Shi Dao also expressed his opinion." The old lady in black muttered: "He didn't object to this audition, besides, Maria is really good." ”

"Then ...... first Tong guò up? ”

After a long silence, the judges nodded their heads.

"Okay, let's get over it."
