TL : Rezzz
Looking at the information, No. 34 is a senior actor. He was often seen in dramas in the past. He has a familiar face, but many viewers may not know his name. Most of his roles were sinister and fierce villain roles. At present, he was rarely seen on the screen. Even though he was in his forties, he looked like in his thirties, and there is an oxtraordinary, persevering temperament polished by the years.
The two did not continue chatting, nor did they interrupt No. 34’s acting.
The scene he chose is the ending of the script. Jiang Zhuo knelt on the street on a rainy night, holding An Ke’s corpse. Finally, he put the corpse in the car and left. He calmly drove the car to kill.
No. 34 kneeled on the ground, acted as if he was holding a person. He bowed slightly, and a beam of light shone on him. His bowed back was trembling slightly.
In this scene, there is only one sentence in the script. There are no expressions and action prompts, and there is no description of whether to cry or not. There is no line. It’s written that it was raining heavily. The rain washed dark brown blood on his face and clothes, and then it flowed into the sewer.
This is a difficult scene that required an in-depth analysis of the character’s heart.
He was mournful. The sorrow was visible to the naked eye. However, he did not shout, only grieved in silence. Probably because he had seen Li Mu’s interpretation, Zhuang Qin somehow felt it was not that great, but he didn’t interrupt out of politeness.
“Still not good enough, but it’s already good.” Guo Baozhen lowered his voice.
“Director, I’m done.”
Guo Baozhen nodded politely, “Thanks for your hard work and great performance. If you have something important, you can leave first. We will call you later.”
The actor went down.
“No. 35”, he shouted.
Zhuang Qin glanced at the information, Qiu Ming.
Huh?
Zhuang Qin had some impressions of this name. In his previous life, this Qiu Ming seemed to be the boss of a large media group. He was famous in the circle for his lavish and short-term style.
The name, age, education, and acting experience are written on the information.
The academic record says that he has a bachelor’s degree from the London Business School and is a graduate student at the New York Film School.
Zhuang Qin raised his head and saw Qiu Ming on the stage as no. 35.
He is a very energetic, handsome guy. He wore a high-quality custom suit and handmade leather shoes. He didn’t seem to come to audition, but to walk on the runway.
“Hello, teachers. My name is Qiu Ming. I am 26 years old and 185,18 cm tall.” He looked straight at the little director.
Guo Baozhen: “…”
Zhuang Qin: “……”
Guo Baozhen twitched the corner of his mouth, “Uh, are you ready to act?”
Qiu Ming, “Oh, yes, I’m ready. I’ll start acting right away.”
Zhuang Qin was sure that Qiu Ming was that media tycoon, and he was a bit curious. At that moment, he suddenly caught sight of a person standing on the corner of the stage curtain.
Because the light focused on Qiu Ming in the stage’s center, the man was hidden in the darkness. Only his tall figure was revealed, his face was unseen. But if there is a strong aura, it will faintly spread out.
Zhuang Qin stared straight at that person for a few seconds, but he seemed to have been spotted. That man stopped and locked on him for a second. Their gaze met at an invisible situation.
Zhuang Qin had a strong hunch in his heart, so he lowered his voice, “Director Guo, is that person here to audition?”
“Which one?” Guo Baozhen was waiting for Qiu Ming to prepare his mood, and he turned his head.
“That.” Zhuang Qin pointed out, “Standing on the edge of the curtain, the tall one, can you see him?”
“Oh, him. He didn’t come to audition,” Guo Baozhen said in a low voice, “He came with this guy on the stage, and he only accompanied him. I think they have a good relationship. But that person, his appearance is better than the one on stage. It is a pity that he is not an actor. Otherwise, I would like to sign him.”
Zhuang Qin was lost in thought. He guessed that it might be Li Mu, but he was a bit uncertain.
On stage, Qiu Ming began to perform.
It is the same as the part as the 34th, but Guo Baozhen did not expect someone will perform so poorly.
Qiu Ming, wearing a high-quality coat, fell on the ground and shouted exaggeratingly, “Ah!”
He showed a look of sorrow, then dramatically covered his heart with an exaggerated expression.
Guo Baozhen showed a terrible expression. He endured for three seconds before interrupted him, “You can go down.”
Qiu Ming stood up immediately, not disappointed at all, and showing a big smile, “Director, remember to call me.”
He came to play on a whim, curious about how poor this poor crew is. Li Mu, who has been interested in this script, also came with him, but he did not choose to audition.
The lighting brightened, the spotlight’s effect became weak, and the corner of the stage was well-lit. Qiu Ming walks towards Li Mu.
Zhuang Qin looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu seemed to look at him too, but the two of them went to the backstage.
“Director Guo…” Zhuang Qin couldn’t help but cry out.
“Huh?” Guo Baozhen struck a cross on Qiu Ming’s information with a red pen.
“The one who came with Qiu Ming, why didn’t he join the audition?”
“Huh?” Guo Baozhen said, “He is not an actor!”
“He is,” Zhuang Qin felt more anxious than the director, “Have you read the novel “Eternal Celestial Body”?”
“Of course I have read it. I am a science fiction fan. I also watched a short film adapted from this novel…” At this point, Guo Baozhen suddenly remembered something and was taken aback. “He seems to be, no, he really is?!”
“It’s him,” Zhuang Qin was afraid that he would run away, and was already fidgeting, “Do you have his phone? How about your assistant, can he stop him? I think he is very suitable to play Jiang Zhuo’s role.”
“I don’t have an assistant, and I only have his friend’s phone here…” Guo Baozhen was also tempted at this time.
The short film “Eternal Celestial Body” is a monodrama starred by one actor. Although it only lasted 30 minutes, it is very exquisite! The frame effects are superb! The film was about an astronaut who met an accident during an interstellar voyage and suffered a spaceship failure. It was floating in space, facing a red star that was far away. After countless unsuccessful repair attempts, he wore a spacesuit and floated in the space, quietly looking at the star that seemed to be within reach.
There are very few lines in this movie. There are only a few monologues and dialogues with artificial intelligence on the spaceship. Still, it is undeniable that this short film is excellent, whether from the interpretation of the actor, the director’s skills, or the restoration of the novel.
There is still an actor left. Zhuang Qin glanced at the information and did not pay much attention. After no. 36 is done, it meant that their audition today should be over. People on the back were hired to pretend as actors; thus, there is no need to continue the audition.
Zhuang Qin said, “Director Guo, how about you personally ask his contact information? There is no time to lose.”
“You are right.” Guo Baozhen didn’t have the time to think about the issue of losing face. He stood up and said, “Teacher Zhuang, you wait for me for a while.”
Director Guo went out directly. When he saw Qiu Ming and the others were walking out, he hurriedly stepped forward, “Both of you please stay.”
Qiu Ming asked, “Director Guo, the audition result came out so soon, is it me?”
“No, no, not yet.” If it wasn’t for Qiu Ming, who is so handsome, Director Guo really wants to ignore him. He turned to Li Mu with a smile on his face, “Hello, hello, I almost didn’t recognize you before. Mr. Li, I have seen the short film “Eternal Celestial Body” you starred in, and I admire you very much…”
Guo Baozhen raised his head to look at him. In today’s early spring sunshine, this man’s figure’s superiority become more apparent. He is impeccably flawless. His nose and brows are relatively superior. His eye sockets as well as his eyes are profound. If you examined carefully, he had a demeanor of half-breed.
This appearance condition is incredible!
Guo Baozhen was a reporter who interviewed many bigshots, and he was not even nervous. “Are you interested in the role of the protagonist of “Hidden Heart”? I don’t know if it is convenient for you to leave contact information…”
Li Mu caught a glimpse of a boy wearing a cap and a mask standing at the theater lobby’s entrance from the corner of his eye.
He asked, “Director, are you the one who wants to ask for my contact information, or is it someone else?”
“Huh?” someone else?
Director Guo didn’t turn his head and said, “Since it’s my play, of course it’s me who wants it.”
Zhuang Qin stood not far away watching the situation.
Because he was far away, he couldn’t hear what Director Guo said to Li Mu. But he felt like Li Mu glanced over.
After half a minute, the two left, Qiu Ming waved and said goodbye to the director.
Guo Baozhen turned his head down in despair and made a helpless hand gesture to Zhuang Qin that stood at the door.
“How is it? Do you get his contact information?” Zhuang Qin asked.
“…No.” Guo Baozhen was frustrated. “I didn’t even ask about his name. Just now, I asked him for contact information, but he asked me whether it’s me or someone else who wants it… I said it’s me, but he said sorry.”
Zhuang Qin is also stunned and a bit confused.
Guo Baozhen: “Why? I said it’s me that wants it, but he wouldn’t give it. Does it mean he looks down on me?”
He was merely confused. Is this some street communication skills? Who is this ‘someone else’ referring to?
