"Zhimo, now there's an invitation to audition for a TV series here, do you want to go?" Huo Xiwen said to Lin Zhimo, who was sitting on a chair reading a book.

Lin Zhimo glanced up at Huo Xiwen, then asked the other party to sit on the stool in front of him and asked, "Sister Wen, tell me in detail." ”

"This drama was prepared by Zhao Baogang, the director of the TV series 'Never Look Away' last year, and is currently auditioning for actors, and it is expected to start filming next month, this drama ......" Huo Xiwen told Lin Zhimo in detail about this drama.

Lin Zhimo closed his eyes and pondered carefully for a while and said, "Where is the audition arrangement?" ”

Although Lin Zhimo is reluctant to shoot a TV series and wants to work the big screen, the development of facts will not be transferred by personal will, in addition to "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle" during this time, Lin Zhimo has also participated in a lot of movies, but either the script is not suitable or the audition is not passed, so he will pay attention to this TV series.

"The audition is scheduled in Xiahai City." Huo Xiwen looked at the document and said.

"Okay, let's leave tomorrow." Lin Zhimo made up his mind.

Because Lin Zhimo's scene had been filmed almost during this time, he just said it verbally to Wang Xiaoshuai the next day, which was considered to be a leave.

It was already very hot in Xiahai City in May, and as soon as he got off the plane, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Zhimo's back, looking at Huo Xiwen, who had already put on a professional skirt, Lin Zhimo asked: "Sister Wen, didn't you already know that Xia Hai would be so hot?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Huo Xiwen asked rhetorically in a natural tone.

"What's wrong? Sister Wen! Look at the clothes I wear, they look like summer clothes in every way. Lin Zhimo pulled the thin fleece sweater on his body with his hand and said angrily.

A smile flashed in Huo Xiwen's eyes, but he looked at it seriously: "You look a little stupid like this, but isn't the so-called fashion different?" Maybe your outfit will be revered as one of the most popular outfits of the summer? ”

Lin Zhimo pouted: "As long as I didn't suffer from heat stroke when I arrived at the audition location, even if I was rated as the worst-dressed actor in the world, I would admit me." ”

When he arrived at the audition site, Lin Zhimo accidentally found Zhou Xun in the corridor, and Lin Zhimo hurriedly took two steps forward to stop the other party.

"Sister Zhou, why are you here?" Lin Zhimo asked with a smile.

The title of Sister Zhou was used by Lin Zhimo to tease Zhou Xun's figure, because Zhou Xun was relatively thin and small, but his aura was strong, so Lin Zhimo, who was familiar with Zhou Xun, kept using the title of Sister Zhou to call each other.

Zhou Xun turned his head and found that it was Lin Zhimo who also smiled happily: "Yo, isn't this black sesame, why are you here?" ”

Regarding Lin Zhimo's reaction to giving himself this nickname, Zhou Xun called Lin Zhimo Black Sesame very-for-tat, sesame is naturally a big deal, and because there is a black word in the word "Mo" in Lin Zhimo's name, and Lin Zhimo's dark complexion in the play "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle", so "Black Sesame" was officially released.

"Of course I'm here for the audition, what about you, the one who delivered the lunch?" Lin Zhimo sneered.

"No," Zhou Xun explained seriously, "The director asked me to do psychological counseling, and he said that there might be a male star who left here in disappointment, and the director was afraid that he wouldn't want to do something stupid." ”

Although it was not clearly pointed out that it was the male star, Zhou Xun's eyes never left Lin Zhimo's surroundings for a moment, and the meaning was very clear.

When Lin Zhimo heard Zhou Xun say that she was doing psychological work, he knew that she was also coming to audition, because the crew had already handed over part of the script to Lin Zhimo before coming, so he knew that there was a female character in the play who suffered from mental illness.

The two of them just jokingly entered inside.

Lin Zhimo wanted to conduct the interview one step ahead of Zhou Xun, so he entered a small conference room first.

There is a long table covered with red cloth on the side of the wall facing the door of the small conference room, and there are several middle-aged men sitting behind the long table, and the middle is Zhao Baogang, the director of the TV series, and several producers and assistant directors are beside him.

There was also a row of chairs on the other side of the door to the conference room, and a young man was already sitting on top of the chairs.

The young man Lin Zhimo once saw it, he saw it when he was studying at Yenching Film and Television University, it seems that his name is Chen Kun. Chen Kun's deepest impression is the kind of melancholy that seems to be born on him, especially his eyes, the pupils are very dark, coupled with angular facial features, he is a handsome guy.

The other party nodded slightly when he saw Lin Zhimo coming in, and Lin Zhimo also smiled in return.

Zhao Baogang said at this time: "Okay, since the two of you are here, go down and change your outfit first, and let me see the photos with makeup." ”

Lin Zhimo frowned lightly when he heard this, because in terms of image alone, Lin Zhimo was not very advantageous, and even said that he would suffer a little, because the role that Lin Zhimo wanted to participate in the audition was a watch shop worker, and Lin Zhimo's figure was undoubtedly a little tall compared to Chen Kun.

But despite this, Lin Zhimo was not afraid in his heart, he was confident that he would not lose to anyone in acting.

The makeup artist is shared by the two, because the two didn't know each other before, and now it's such a competitive relationship, so both of them hate to talk to each other without taking the initiative to talk, so in silence, the two completed the initial makeup.

Although the audition was for the same role, I don't know if it was because of the different scenes in which they were going to participate in the performance later, the two had very different makeup.

Chen Kun is now wearing a coarse cloth shirt and a small yellow hat on his head, and the whole person looks like he is in a downcast and revealing a chic temperament; Lin Zhimo is wearing a slightly formal white shirt, a tie around his neck, and a small hat on his head, which is gray, which is different from Chen Kun's temperament.

The few people sitting behind the long table, looking at the two people who had already put on their makeup, couldn't stop looking up and down, I don't know if it was an illusion, Lin Zhimo always felt that when they were discussing, their eyes were mostly on Chen Kun's side, and only rarely on themselves.

Lin Zhimo secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: "It seems that this figure is sometimes an important prerequisite." ”

Lin Zhimo didn't have much feeling about this before, because since he came into contact with acting, he has always shown people with this image that is biased towards martial arts, and Er Kang in the Zhu Gege is the imperial guard with a sword in front of the emperor, requiring both civil and military skills; Bantianyun in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a bandit and robber with superb martial arts; Except for my father and mother, the birth of a child has nothing to do with the figure, but that kind of character doesn't seem to have much to do with the figure; In a seventeen-year-old bicycle, the figure of a migrant worker is not too thin.

So it wasn't until now that Lin Zhimo realized that he had been ignoring this problem before, but now he can't think of any way to reverse this disadvantage for the time being, except that he hopes that the director on stage will not come to a conclusion so quickly, and also examine the acting skills of the two.

After Zhao Baogang discussed with a few people around him, he said to Lin Zhimo and Chen Kun: "Okay, let's perform the scene you have prepared." ”

Lin Zhimo and Chen Kun glanced at each other, and Chen Kun said first: "Me first or you first?" ”

Lin Zhimo was keenly aware that when Chen Kun asked, he first said "I first", and then said "you first", which to a certain extent shows that Chen Kun is willing to perform first.

However, since there were only two people at the scene, Lin Zhimo just smiled and said indifferently: "It's okay." ”

Chen Kun said: "Then I'll sacrifice the ugliness first, throwing bricks and attracting jade." ”

Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "I'll wait and see." ”

Chen Kun nodded to Lin Zhimo and stood up, and then said to everyone on the stage: "The next thing I want to perform is the scene where Chen Zikun climbed into Fang Ziyi's room one night. ”

Lin Zhimo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Chen Kun's introduction, because he suddenly remembered that the name of the male protagonist he was going to play in the film was "Chen Zikun", and the actor in front of him was called Chen Kun, was this the screenwriter's intention or the providence in the dark? Lin Zhimo looked at Chen Kun, who had already started performing at this time, and suddenly understood why he wanted to perform first.

Take the lead!

Chen Kun had such an idea, first let the judges on the stage pay attention to his name, and then he deliberately mentioned the name of the protagonist, so that the judges invisibly focused on him, which was very beneficial to him. Of course, there are pros and cons, if Chen Kun's performance is unsightly, then the judges' impression of him will be much more disgusted, but obviously, Chen Kun, who was born in a regular college, is not worried about his acting skills.

A moment later, Chen Kun's performance ended, and several people on the stage whispered again, looking at Chen Kun's eyes had become satisfied, and one of the producers smiled and nodded at Chen Kun.

Chen Kun naturally saw that his chances of winning were still relatively large, so his originally tense expression began to slowly relax, and a smile began to appear on his face.

Lin Zhimo's heart sank even more when he saw it: "My hope is not too big...... Forget it, fight it! ”

Zhao Baogang and the others also had a result in their discussion at this time, and after calming down, he said to Lin Zhimo: "Okay, Lin Zhimo, it's time for you to perform next." ”

Lin Zhimo took a secret breath, walked to the center of the conference room with a calm face, and asked in a steady tone, "Director Zhao, can I use a little water from you?" ”

Zhao Baogang was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Lin Zhimo was going to do with water, he didn't need water in that scene, but he still nodded and responded: "Of course you can." ”

The judges next to them were also a little unclear, but they knew what scene Lin Zhimo was going to perform next, so the same doubts as Zhao Baogang arose in their hearts at the same time, but no one thought that Lin Zhimo was playing tricks, after all, the current Lin Zhimo can be said to be a top TV star, and he doesn't need this kind of trick at all.

In fact, Lin Zhimo did have some thoughts of his own, because according to his observations, several directors on the scene were very satisfied with Chen Kun's performance just now, so with this mentality, they would unconsciously bring a critical eye when watching Lin Zhimo's performance.

Psychologically, this is called the principle of "commitment and consistency", which means that once someone has made a certain decision or chosen a certain position, they will face personal and external pressure to conform to it. And under this pressure, they will adopt a certain behavior to stick to the decisions they have made.

An interesting example of this psychology has been found in horse bettors, that is, once a bettor has placed a bet, their confidence in the horse they have bought is immediately increased. In fact, the probability of winning the horse has not changed at all, the horse is still the same horse, the track is still the same track, and the field is still the same racetrack. But in the eyes of these bettors, once the bet is placed, the chances of winning are greatly increased.

Similarly, this kind of psychology is also very applicable on this occasion, because someone has already made a decision to support Chen Kun during the previous discussion, so when they watch Lin Zhimo's performance now, they can't help but be picky, even if Lin Zhimo's performance is indistinguishable from Chen Kun, or even slightly better, then under the effect of the psychology of "commitment and consistency", they will begin to magnify Lin Zhimo's shortcomings when performing, and then make a judgment that is consistent with their words and deeds just now!

Of course, because this situation has a special surname, several people on the stage clearly knew at the beginning that there were two people competing for the place, so this kind of psychology would not be too serious, but even so, Lin Zhimo didn't dare to bet, so he came up with a way to eliminate the impact of this psychology as much as possible, that is, to divert attention!

In fact, his next performance can be completed even if he doesn't need water, but when Lin Zhimo proposes that he needs some water to help him perform, then everyone on the stage will involuntarily have a sense of curiosity, and this psychology will cover up their previous decision to a certain extent, if Lin Zhimo's performance is not bad later, then when they overturn their previous conclusions, there will be a step - you see that people are very well prepared, and even the problem of water has been thought of.

These things are troublesome to say, but Lin Zhimo has been constantly scrutinizing in his heart since Chen Kun's performance, and then when he gets up from his seat, his voice, facial expressions, and movement amplitude are all planned actions made on the basis of the reasoning just now, and there is only one purpose, that is, to let several judges refocus their attention on themselves and offset the impact of Chen Kun's performance before.

Lin Zhimo calmly unscrewed the mineral water in front of Zhao Baogang, poured some lightly in the palm of his hand, and then wiped it on his face as beads of sweat, and at the same time made a little bit on his back.

Lin Zhimo returned to the center of the conference room again, and said indifferently: "I'm going to start performing." ”

Seeing Lin Zhimo's actions, Chen Kun on the side at this time had completely lost the pride he had just now, and the Erlang leg that had been cocked just now had been put down, and he began to wait for Lin Zhimo's performance, he knew that he had met a strong opponent.

Lin Zhimo's temperament suddenly changed at this time, the original indifference disappeared without a trace, his face was full of anxiety, and his mouth was a little snorting and panting.

Lin Zhimo's sudden change shocked everyone's spirits, and this kind of change in temperament cannot be done without an actor with top acting strength.

Chen Kun suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, as if he had seen this character getting farther and farther away from him.

Lin Zhimo wanted to perform the scene where Chen Zikun did not appear on time at the wedding on the day of the wedding due to some other reasons, and immediately came to the bedside of Du Xinyu who fainted after coming back.

Lin Zhimo ran a few quick steps in the center of the conference room, then his body paused suddenly, and slowly squatted down on the side, the expression on his face began to become distressed, and at the same time he made a look of trying to suppress his disordered breathing.

Lin Zhimo put his hands on Du Xinyu's hand as if he was lying on the bed, put her hand on his face, and muttered to himself: "Xinyu! At this time, Lin Zhimo's eyes were full of crystal tears, but they did not fall, and his expression revealed a feeling of guilt that could not be dissolved.

At this time, several people behind the long table were completely attracted by Lin Zhimo's performance, they never expected Lin Zhimo's performance to be so brilliant and shocking! In contrast, although Chen Kun's performance just now was also excellent, it still had some ingenuity, giving people the feeling of lacking a spiritual surname.

Because Lin Zhimo was performing with his back to Chen Kun, he couldn't see how Lin Zhimo was performing, but Chen Kun still saw the expressions of several directors very clearly, so when he saw the shocked expressions on the faces of several directors, his heart chuckled, and his fists couldn't help clenching a little.

Lin Zhimo's performance was not over yet, as if he had really seen Du Xinyu wake up in the air in front of him, his face suddenly became ecstatic, and his hands were holding her hands tightly so excited that he couldn't speak.

After a while, as if he heard what Du Xinyu said to himself, he replied, "No, your father...... Didn't hit me. With that, the tears that had been contained in his eyes finally fell.

Although Lin Zhimo has no superfluous lines and no exaggerated performances, everyone knows that the tears Lin Zhimo shed at this time are tears of emotion, tears of guilt, tears of self-blame, and tears of happiness.

"It turns out that a man's crying scene can also be interpreted so touching!" This was the unanimous feeling of everyone on the scene.

At this time, Zhao Baogang, who was originally sitting on the stage with an ancient well without a wave expression, suddenly slapped his thigh, and shouted uncontrollably in his heart: "This is Chen Zikun, this is the Chen Zikun I want!" ”

When Lin Zhimo finished performing, several people on the stage did not whisper like Chen Kun after the performance just now, but looked at Chen Kun with a slightly regretful expression.

Chen Kun saw Zhao Baogang's guilty expression looking at him, his heart suddenly cooled, he knew that he was out of play, it was obvious that Lin Zhimo's performance completely moved them, but he was also open-minded, smiled heartily, and stretched out his hand to Lin Zhimo: "Congratulations!" ”

Lin Zhimo naturally didn't put on any show at this time, and quickly held Chen Kun's hand and said, "Your performance just now is also very good, I mean it." ”

Chen Kun was indeed angry when he heard Lin Zhimo's first half of the sentence, but when he heard Lin Zhimo's explanation in the second half of Chen Ken's explanation, he also understood that Lin Zhimo was not mocking himself, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "No matter how good the performance is, it is not as good as you...... Good bye. ”

Chen Kun didn't want to stay here for a long time, so after saying goodbye to a few people, he pushed the door and left.

When Chen Kun went out, Zhao Baogang stepped down from the stage and said with a smile to Lin Zhimo: "Zhimo, you are welcome to temporarily join the crew like fog, rain and wind." ”

"For the time being?"

Lin Zhimo and Zhao Baogang shook hands, and they didn't understand the word temporary.

Zhao Baogang smiled: "Yes, for the time being." Your performance was very good, and to be honest, it touched me! But your figure is too burly, give you half a month to reduce your weight, how much you can drop, if your figure hasn't changed after half a month, don't blame me for being merciless. ”

Lin Zhimo scratched his head: "Director Zhao, then why do you have to give me an indicator, how much do you want to drop?" ”

"100 catties is not too much, 10 catties is not too little." Zhao Baogang saw that Lin Zhimo was still dazed and smiled: "Understand it yourself, hehe." ”
