Chapter 102: Audition Ended
"Red Boy vs. Black Cat Detective":
After the red boy was adopted by Guanyin, nearly a thousand years have passed, and he can be regarded as the age when he should be in charge. Guanyin imitated the Buddha, sent the red child to travel the world, and only after completing the eighty-eight sixty-four difficulties can he become an immortal.
Red Boy was quite excited, thinking that even Sun Monkey could handle it, and he would definitely be able to. When he came to the mortal world with all his might, he never expected that the mortal world had already changed. The elves have long since stopped killing at will, and they have developed a unique political system; Carnivorous, herbivorous, and arthropods coexist; We should vigorously develop the economy and science, stress the rule of law, and stress morality.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that he could not go back to heaven, so after a few days, he accidentally walked to the river one afternoon and witnessed the bullying of herbivores by several carnivores. As if seeing himself a thousand years ago, the red boy immediately went to stop it. Spit out a mouthful of samadhi real fire, I wanted to scare and scare the bear children, but unexpectedly, the "samadhi real fire" changed its taste, and under the light of the fire, several animal cubs suddenly entered a certain mysterious state and began to write homework.
"Samadhi" is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word "Samādhi", which translates to "determination", that is, the "determination" of "meditation", which refers to the state of concentration. Animals can enter a state of full concentration within the range of the heat radiation of the "Samadhi True Fire". Looking at the animals who are struggling to write and turn their rivalries into motivation for learning, the red boy found a business opportunity and immediately began to sell candles around the school with "Samadhi True Fire". It didn't take long for the students' enthusiasm for learning and grades to rise, and it was too late to engage in school bullying. Red Boy has made money and done good deeds, and seems to have found a mission, ready to settle down in the mortal world and travel and practice.
However, this matter reached the ears of the black cat detective, and the black cat detective sneered and said......
[The more you emphasize that you are doing good, the more problematic it is!] Director Tian muttered again and again, writing lines in the blank space next to the picture.
The picture on the paper shows a scribbled black cat detective, twisted beard, staring at a photograph with blazing brass bell eyes, showing a young man wearing a red belly pocket and a pair of horns.
"[A black household of unknown origin, under the banner of doing good deeds......]"
"Director Tian."
"[Selling a new type of hallucinogenic ...... suspected to be of unknown composition]"
"Director Tian!"
"Huh?" Director Tian stopped the pen in his hand and raised his head to look at the person who spoke.
The producer sitting next to him asked, "The actors are all here." Shall we wait a little longer, or will this begin? After speaking, he glanced at the manuscript paper in front of Tian Dao.
Director Tian reacted that the time for the audition had come. Putting away "Red Boy vs. Black Cat Detective", which was scribbling to pass the time, he said, "Let's start now." ”
The assistant, who was standing in the corner waiting, immediately walked out of the room to inform the actors that the audition had begun.
Director Tian picked up the first actor card.
The first person to come in to audition was an actor who was slightly ugly and affectionately called Xiao Jiang by the producer.
In terms of resume alone, Xiao Jiang, who is good at action movies and comedies, is a strong candidate for "Key to Destiny". He is highly recommended by the producer, which is not outrageous.
However, Xiao Jiang has been on the set since he was a child, and he has come into contact with all kinds of people, and he has already become a big person, and he has a slippery and slippery Jianghu atmosphere, which actually doesn't quite match the feeling that Director Tian wants.
The door opened, and a man in his thirties walked in with a probe and a 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.
As soon as the people in the room saw him, they unconsciously raised their eyebrows and laughed, and the seriousness in the air was dissipated at once.
Tian Dao also smiled like Maitreya, but his eyes swept straight to Xiao Jiang's body. Compare the shape of the last time we met.
The last time Xiao Jiang was brought to meet by the producer, he still unexpectedly asked Xiao Jiang to take off his clothes, Xiao Jiang simply took off his clothes neatly, revealing a loose figure of an action actor, the muscles were faintly visible, and the content was not low, but it was basically covered by fat.
As for now......
"Take off your clothes and take a look." Tian Dao said.
Xiao Jiang still didn't say a word and took off his clothes.
Others watched quietly and didn't see it as sexual. Harassment – There are cameras in the house recording it.
Compared with the last time we met, my body has become a lot stronger, which shows that I have been exercising well during this time. Although Xiao Jiang sucked his stomach slightly at this time, it was estimated that in about a month, his figure would be able to return to the peak appearance of previous action movies.
"Okay, put it on." Director Tian asked Xiao Jiang to put on his clothes.
After Xiao Jiang got dressed, he waited for the lines.
However, what was waiting for him was a sentence from Director Tian:
"Let's go to the next room and stir-fry."
"What? Cooking? Xiao Jiang opened his mouth, very puzzled.
His doubts, through his expression and tone, suddenly became a sense of joy, and began to render the people in the room.
"The killer was taken to the restaurant and worked on the first day." Tian Dao said.
Xiao Jiang thought about it for a moment.
In the script, it is only written that the killer works part-time in a restaurant and is good at using a knife. Other details are almost nonexistent.
Generally, the style of such a [slapstick game] part is relaxed and cheerful, in order to highlight the difference between the work skills of killers and ordinary people, so as to form a contrast.
Xiao Jiang smiled and nodded, understood what the director wanted to see, left the room, and walked to the next box.
The private room next door has been renovated into a simple kitchen. There are induction cookers, pots and pans, and several kinds of ingredients.
The assistant director, who plays the role of [Restaurant Owner], quickly enters the role, taking the [Killer] played by Xiao Jiang to introduce his new job.
As soon as Xiao Jiang picked up the knife, it was as if he had turned on a switch, and he slashed at the ingredients with exaggerated movements. After cutting the ingredients, Xiao Jiang's ugly face actually raised the narcissistic expression of "I'm so handsome" and "I'm stunned by Uncle Ben's charm".
The people in the Tian Dao box next door stared at the real-time transmission monitoring screen, and they were all amused by that expression.
The producer praised "not bad" and "not bad".
Director Tian looked at Xiao Jiang's sword skills, which were slightly better than ordinary people, and remembered Guan Chen. In fact, it doesn't matter if it's cut good or bad, this part can be processed with editing, and exaggerated points can also be used to show superb knife skills. But when I thought of Guan Chen's knife skills, I didn't know what the effect would be when I took the actual shot.
On the screen, after Xiao Jiang cut the ingredients, under the guidance and supervision of the [restaurant owner], he began to stir-fry. The action is still wide open and closed, a shovel seems to be stabbing someone, and almost half of the vegetables in the pot fly out.
After Xiao Jiang came out, he returned to the audition box and chatted with Director Tian, and Director Tian nodded and said that the audition was over.
After Xiao Jiang left, several people in the room were quite satisfied.
But they didn't say anything like confirming it on the spot, because they gave the next talented actor the same lot of expectations.
The second audition is Director Tian's most optimistic actor, called Xiang Jun.
The first is to strip and look at the figure.
Xiang Jun's figure is just an ordinary figure, and there are no traces of exercise. Because he had been filming in other crews before, he couldn't suddenly start exercising. However, "the filming over there has now been completed, and I have been working on a muscle-building program since the day before yesterday. Xiang Jun said that he did not take Tian Dao's project lightly.
Tian Dao nodded.
After a brief chat, Xiang Jun was notified to go to the box next door to stir-fry.
Xiang Jun didn't panic when he heard this request, he just calmly thought about it for a while, and then proposed that he wanted to spend a few minutes to prepare before going to the kitchen next door.
Tian Dao allowed it.
After he returned to the kitchen to start the performance, Tian Dao and the others found out that Xiang Jun had just spent a few minutes preparing props for himself.
Unlike Xiao Jiang who picked up the knife and cut it violently, Xiang Jun first took out a ruler, with a rectangular ruler and a tape measure, and measured the length of the ingredients with a brush, which seemed to be very craftsman.
As if noting down the position corresponding to each scale, after Xiang Jun began to cut vegetables, every fluctuation of the wrist and the interval between each knife were all exactly the same - of course, the cut out could not be seen, but Tian Dao and the others had already understood the meaning that Xiang Jun wanted to express.
He's playing a machine-type killer.
After starting to stir-fry, Xiang Jun took off his watch, stared at the time frequently, and asked [restaurant owner] "how long does each shovel need to be intervened", "how many grams of salt are added", "how many milliliters of water are poured".
The producers commented on each other: "This is interesting. ”
Tian Dao also nodded.
Tian Dao likes to eat, and when he has time, he cooks and cooks by himself.
He believes that from a person's cooking style, you can see the person's personality.
Letting the actors stir-fry is actually a test of their respective understanding of the killer.
Whether it is Xiao Jiang or Xiang Jun, they both show killers with very different styles.
But the next two people who tried it were very bland.
Next, it was Guan Chen's turn.
For Guan Chen, because of Zhang Jingsheng's endorsement, they don't 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 is a genius who has been a blockbuster and a blockbuster.
They have now raised their expectations and are waiting to see how much of a 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 do you not know how to write it?" Before Guan Chen could sit down, he ignored the scrutinizing gazes of others and asked directly to Director Tian.
“!” Everyone was shocked.
The "can't blend into the crowd" described by Director Tian before, is that what it means!
"The last page is kept secret for the time being, and I can't tell you." Director Tian didn't feel offended, and said to Guan Chen with a smile.
"So it's already written?" Guan Chen's eyes lit up.
"You'll find out when you pass." Director Tian refused to answer directly.
"Okay, come on." Guan Chen asked with his hands: "Which part am I playing?" ”
"Don't worry," Director Tian said, "take off your clothes first." After speaking, he added, "The camera is on the whole time, if you feel harassed in the process, you can sue us afterwards." ”
"You big company, can I still be at ease? Ha ha. Guan Chen stood up and took off his coat as he pretended to cooperate from the beginning.
Guan Chen threw his clothes on the ground, making the sound of bits and pieces colliding.
The producer wondered: "A lot of things in your pocket?" ”
"Oh, it's just props, to experience the characters." Guan Chen waved his hand.
The producer was intrigued and asked, "What prop?" ”
Guan Chen said while undressing: "Although the killer has amnesia, 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, then he must have some deep-seated habits that are still retained. For example......"
"For example?" Tian Dao asked.
Guan Chen was naked, bent down and took out a ten-centimeter-long roll from his coat pocket, and said, "For example, put a bundle of coins in your pocket." ”
"What's the use of these coins?" Tian Dao quickly thought: "Take the bus to get rid of the tracking?" ”
"That's just the basics." Guan Chen was very enthusiastic to guide Tian Dao in popular science:
"If you're wearing a jacket, the hem of your shirt will get in the way when you pull out your gun. But if you put a bundle of coins in your pocket, the center of gravity of the jacket will be downward, so that the hem of the jacket can be waved when the gun is drawn and will not reverberate. ”
After saying that, he put his coat back on and demonstrated the action of drawing a gun.
"When you have no weapon with your bare hands, holding this bundle of coins in the palm of your hand can increase the density of your fist and increase the damage." Guan Chen, who took off his coat, held the coin in his hand after speaking, and hit several sets of combination punches into the air vigorously, each punch was fast and sharp. The air in the room seemed to be stirred, and everyone felt a breeze on their faces, making people want to swallow their saliva.
Guan Chen is naked, the producer and Tian Dao watched Guan Chen boxing, feeling that the muscles on his body were like living creatures, exhaling and inhaling, and there seemed to be linkage between each muscle, not the kind of gym where one part was drilled.
Looking at Guan Chen like this, everyone did not doubt that he had the ability to kill people with his bare hands.
After a few sets of punches, Guan Chen continued to introduce the use of coins without breathing, and his physical strength was quite good:
"If you wrap these coins in cloth, they can be used as a throwing hammer to attack the enemy in stealth. Socks such elastic cloth is best. Guan Chen took off his socks as he spoke, put the bundle of coins in it, and then grabbed the end and shook it, and a simple and dangerous meteor hammer was there.
The crowd held their breath. I don't know if I'm afraid of smelling something, or if I'm worried about getting hit in the head.
Guan Chen's popular science is not over yet. He stopped hammering and bent down to feel something in his coat pocket: "If you put a few nails in the coin and wrap them in adhesive tape, you can hold them as a finger ......."
"Enough, enough, enough......" Director Tian hurriedly stopped. Listening to one function after another, they could barely recognize the original appearance of the coin.
"Is there enough clothes, or enough coins?" Guan Chen has a coat in one hand and a coin in the other.
"Clothes, put them back on."
"Oh. In short, coins are a tool that will not cause problems even if they are searched by the police. Guan Chen put on his clothes again, insisted on finishing the last sentence, and then asked, "Which part will you start acting next?" ”
"The scene where the killer is taken to the restaurant, the first day of work." Tian Dao said, "Go next door and stir-fry a dish." ”
"Stir-fry?" Guan Chen smiled and whispered, "Fortunately, I'm well prepared." ”
When Guan Chen went out, everyone couldn't wait to communicate.
"He's too skilled! ……”
"Hey, does he really know a killer?"
"I have a friend who stayed in the crew of "Police", and I heard that Guan Chen's background is not simple. I thought it was a joke before, but now that I think about it......"
“……”
Director Tian also rubbed his head and recalled everything that had just happened.
felt that Guan Chen had not taken the usual path since he entered the door. In just a few minutes, the impression left on everyone is very deep, and the "surprise" has been half achieved.
On the screen, they saw Guan Chen walking into the kitchen, and immediately stopped the discussion and stared at Guan Chen carefully.
I want to see how Guan Chen's real performance level is.
The assistant director, who played the role of [restaurant owner], read the lines that were not in the script, took Guan Chen to introduce the layout of the kitchen, and then gave him a task.
"Your task now is to cut all these dishes and stir-fry a dish." The restaurateur gestured to the ingredients on the long table.
Guan Chen nodded, stood in front of the board and picked up the knife.
From the moment the knife started, Guan Chen's gaze suddenly became extremely cold.
He took a carrot and put it on the board, then tilted his head, as if he sensed something, and the next second, the carrot was wiped by the knife, as if it was a corpse that had not reacted, Guan Chen poked it lightly, and a "intact" carrot suddenly fell into a collection of dozens of carrots.
This is not over, Guan Chen has not let them go. He took the carrot slices and continued to cut them, cutting them into small strips of carrots two centimeters long. This is followed by carrot pellets, carrot foam......
The knife is like his outstretched fingers, and when it smears the ingredients, the ingredients are dismembered into strips, pieces, and grains.
Through the lens facing Guan Chen, the producers and producers all said, "Oh! "Wow! Earth exclaimed in surprise.
Because the body can be practiced in a short period of time, but the sword skill is not good.
"This knife is so handsome." "Directly saves money on special effects." "Hahaha, look, he really cuts everything! The greens were also cut into powder. ”
In the crowd, Director Tian didn't laugh. Not only because he had seen this scene at the party last month, but because he stared at Guan Chen's eyes through the screen, feeling that there was something heavy in them.
Guan Chen's face was expressionless, looking at the eggplant that was almost cut into powder, as if he was seriously funny, and he had a very contrasting sense of joy.
But looking at Guan Chen's eyes, Director Tian felt that things were not so simple.
Guan Chen's eyes seemed to be hiding something very hidden, such as......
"Confused?"
This is easy to understand. It is normal for a person with amnesia to suddenly see that he is good at knife work, and he is confused.
However, there seems to be something else besides confusion. And also......
"Fear?"
Director Tian sighed.
"It turned out to be such a killer...... "Director Tian stared at the screen and muttered to himself.
Guan Chen was engrossed in cutting the vegetables, and time passed. Seeing Guan Chen's old posture, the restaurant owner immediately asked him to start stir-frying directly.
Guan Chen immediately stopped cutting vegetables and went to stir-fry instead.
But Guan Chen didn't seem to know how to stir-fry at all, and the restaurateur was on the side to instruct him on what to put and when to put salt.
"Xiao Du, you go and let Lao Ding come out." Director Tian suddenly sent an assistant to call out the restaurant owner beside Guan Chen, "Gently, don't disturb Guan Chen." ”
The assistant sighed and ran next door.
Although the assistant director who played "The Restaurant Owner" didn't know why, he had a tacit understanding with Director Tian and knew that his old partner had a new idea, so he left the simple kitchen quietly.
Then Tian Dao and the others saw that on the screen, Guan Chen had been stir-frying the vegetables over and over again, without adding ingredients or turning off the fire, he looked for the restaurant owner with a blank face, as if he didn't have other people's instructions, he suddenly didn't know what to do.
"Although the machine killer played by Xiang Jun is very good, I always feel that Guan Chen is a machine......" the producer sighed.
"It's better to say that he's playing a dog." Tian Dao smiled and stroked his belly, "A dog that has no owner and is temporarily lost." ”
On the screen, the food in front of Guan Chen was already paste, and he was still stir-frying.
"That's it. Bring him here. Director Tian looked at the screen covered with smoke and asked the assistant to go over to save people and prevent Guan Chen from dying inside.
After a while, Guan Chen rubbed his nose and walked in.
Once inside, he took out a pamphlet from his coat pocket and began to write something.
Director Tian saw that this thing was taken out of the pocket of his coat, and knew that this 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 small notebook.
Director Tian turned to the page of [Good at], which had [Chinese words], [tracking and anti-tracking]......
The adjacent page of "Not good at" reads "Football" and "Nail Clipping Cats...... In the bottom line, the new words "stir-fry" are written.
"This is also a killer's habit?" Tian Dao asked.
"It's just my habit......" Mr. Guan said. What made Guan Chen look cold was not the knife, but the "task" that the restaurant owner said before.
Director Tian praised: "Yes, it is also one of the deep-rooted professional habits of killers to record data and analyze intelligence after amnesia. ”
"Multi-Chinese? Which ones will you have? The producer asked.
Guan Chen said all the words of the meeting. There are English, French, Italian, Italian, Chinese, cherry blossom Chinese, white bear, Chinese......
Someone listened and suddenly whispered: "Amazing, the previous Xiang Jun seems to only speak French." ”
"That's amazing."
"It's okay, it's okay." The producer admired in hindsight, "He deserves to be a top student." ”
After returning the booklet to Guan Chen, Director Tian chatted with Guan Chen just now, "Why do you keep cooking until it's paste?" ”
Guan Chen said that there is no law in the dark world of killers, and everything follows the original rules. It's a more immediate world of patriarchy. The most common means of patriarchy to control others is fear.
The killer is trained by the agent from an early age, and it is inevitable that brainwashing and control will be inevitable. The agent's strength and inability to resist are rooted in the killer's heart.
So when he heard the word "task", he seemed to have been turned on the switch and became the person he used to be. He is not afraid of death in the mission, but he is afraid of facing the agent after the mission fails.
But he had amnesia, and the memories that supported this fear were gone, so the killer was terrified and confused about the crisis in his heart.
"Only if you have faced and analyzed your own fears, so the killer will bravely resist when facing the agent later." Guan Chen said.
Director Tian nodded with satisfaction.
Not only because he guessed Guan Chen's intentions and thoughts, but also because the actors who auditioned before, in this link, more or less thought about how to be funny and how to make the atmosphere funny. However, only Guan Chen didn't care too much about whether the genre of the movie was comedy or action movie, he just sank into the heart of the killer and played a killer with amnesia wholeheartedly. Even his "everything can be cut" ingredient processing method is an innate talent, although it is funny, but it is really not deliberate......
"Alright." Director Tian is ready to end this audition.
The others also nodded, feeling that such a Guan Chen did have the strength to be valued by Zhang Jingsheng.
The assistant politely opened the door.
however
"Don't worry, I still have questions." Guan Chen raised his hand, indicating that he was not in a hurry to leave.
"......" Everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed. In the face of Guan Chen's behavior that surprised and speechless people in the industry, everyone felt that they were gradually getting used to it.
"You say." Tian Dao asked the assistant to close the door.
"After the killer recovers his memory, he finds his own home, and this part of the first confrontation with the scrap wood." Guan Chen flipped the script to the scene he said.
In the script, the waste material actually has a name, but Guan Chen still habitually calls him the waste material.
"What's wrong with this part?" Tian Dao asked.
In the script, the waste material spent the killer's money, and also made a mess of the killer's home, and was caught by the killer, and after a reprimand, the waste material became angry and said: [What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson as a murderer! 】
The killer listened to it and couldn't say anything to refute it.
"Here, the killer's conscience has awakened a little quickly." Guan Chen frowned and said, "I just regained my memory here, and he should still be the same person he used to be." Even if there was a little confusion, his first reaction was 'that's not me', and then buried the experience of amnesia completely. ”
"Didn't think about it here, or is that it?" Guan Chen pointed to this page and said suspiciously, "It's a bit strange here, it's not the same level as the context." ”
No matter how the people in the room adapted to Guan Chen's unusual path, they were still shocked when they heard this.
"The latter sentence is too much. If there is a problem, 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. "Jingsheng said, you have ideas. Tell me, what would the killer have said at the time? ”
Guan Chen said calmly:
"He should have asked the scrap material, "I'm a murderer, so do you think you're a good person?" Stealing my keys, breaking into my home, spending my money, impersonating my identity. 】”
"You think you're a good person, so do you know what's going on in the Middle East? Did you know that tens of thousands of children die every day in Africa from malnutrition and infectious diseases? Have you been a member of any international human rights organizations? Do you know how many lives in the world can't save themselves? You don't know the dead children in Africa, you don't know the people I killed, and they themselves are heinous, so they are being rewarded. So I said you're not a good person, what the hell are you angry about? 】”
What kind of person can be considered a good person? 】”
Director Tian saw that Guan Chen's eyes were full of doubts.
Those eyes are like the eyes of a killer.
The doubts in it are not sarcasm, but curiosity and longing.
It's like a robot, asking about feelings you can't have.
It's like a blind man waiting for someone to describe the color to him.
It's like a child, looking for answers.
