The casting of a film is usually done with great care and attention. In addition to the director, there may be other forces involved in investors and producers. However, it is human nature to bully the weak and fear the hard. Due to the invisible force behind it, Kong Yi's film It is rare that there are so many constraints, and often he can set many roles by himself, even including the hero and heroine.

The same goes for today's audition.Kong Yi took Ji He into the room, gave him a few minutes to get used to the environment, chatted for a while, and finally confirmed that the one who asked Ji He to audition happened to be Gu Xi, the leading male lead in "Shimmer", during that special experience Finally, he closed himself, and he was in the state of a trapped beast with depression in his heart and no way out.

There is only one draft of the script of "Shimmer", and there are even fewer words about this scene. There is only one short word-depression!

The audition room is not too big, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window, it seems that the whole space is quite transparent and bright. Kong Yi sat on a sofa chair against the light, and pointed to the long table on the other side of the wall. There are a lot of props on it, which is convenient for actors to audition.

"Look at these things yourself, use them if you need them, and use them if you don't need them. About two to three minutes of footage will do." Kong Yi turned his head and saw that the camera on the side had been turned on, so he raised his eyebrows at Ji He , indicating that he can start.

Ji He glanced at the long table on the other side, thought for a while, took a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, put them in the trouser pocket of his jeans, and then nodded to Kong Yi.

The audition officially begins——

Gu Xi bowed and sat on a corner of the sofa, folded his hands on his knees, lowered his eyes slightly, and couldn't see his expression clearly. After a while, his eyes suddenly turned numbly, staring blankly at the The fine dust floating in the air, and then his eyes moved down again, falling into the small shadow on the wooden floor.

At this time, his expression suddenly changed, and then he stood up slowly, walked to the French window, firmly grasped the thick curtain gathered aside with his fingers, and made a 'swish' sound, and his movements were crisp. Draw the curtains!

The whole room suddenly went dark.

Kong Yi looked at Ji He calmly, but raised the corner of his eyes slightly, and continued to look down——

Although the curtains were drawn, Gu Xi didn't move. He stood in a daze in the suddenly darkened room. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he fumbled and took out a crumpled cigarette case from his trouser pocket, and stretched his body. , leaned back, and leaned against the protective railing of the floor-to-ceiling windows relaxedly through the thick curtains.

Then he took out another lighter from his trouser pocket.He bit the cigarette in his mouth, held the lighter in one hand, lit it with a "bass", then let go of his finger, the flame went out, lit it again, let go of his finger again, and repeated this twice, the first time After three times, he finally pressed his fingers firmly, and the dark red with some faint blue flames continued to dance. Gu Xi slowly approached the cigarette he was biting, as if he was about to light it.

The flames flashed past his eyes.

The flash of bright fire suddenly illuminated his eyes—dark, calm, like the sea, and like an abyss, with a kind of frightening coldness.

At the moment when Kong Yi thought that Gu Xi was about to light a cigarette, his other hand suddenly moved, and he vainly covered the flame in front of him, completely ignoring the possibility of his flesh being burned by the flames, staring at it. Looking at the imperceptible flame that disappeared in the palm of his hand, he glanced around again, as if seeing the darkness all around, he felt more at ease, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Finally he laughed.

Kong Yi stared at it for a moment, then raised his hand to signal Ji He to stop.

Ji He put the lighter and cigarette case back on the prop table beside him.

Kong Yi didn't speak for a while, stared at him for a while, and then frowned and asked, "Aren't you worried that your hands were burned just now?"

The curtains have been opened again by Ji He, and the warm sunlight pouring down through the glass window, dancing on Ji He's eyelashes, has a hazy and soft beauty, he spreads his palms and smiles slightly Said: "I didn't really put my hand on it just now, there will be no problem."

After a pause, Ji He added lightly: "Besides, even if you are really burned, as long as you pass the performance this time, it doesn't matter."

Kong Yi stretched out his hand to pinch his forehead, and leaned back on the back of the sofa chair.

"You surprised me a bit," Kong Yi said after a while, his voice was still gentle, but with a trace of exploration, "Huang Jue and I have been old friends for more than ten years. People who he thinks are good are not here. It will be too bad. To be honest, your performance in this audition far exceeded my imagination. There is only one word in the script. You can think of using this seemingly random way to express the depression and despair of the protagonist in a short time. I was quite surprised. If you only talk about the audition of the lead actor in the film "Shimmer", congratulations, you have already passed the test with me."

Ji He sat across from him and looked at him, with a calm face and didn't interrupt, knowing that Kong Yi had something to say, so he listened quietly.

"But what surprised me even more was your understanding of acting. You are young people in their twenties, and this era is not the same as it was back then. You are very impetuous. You used to make a drama, such as Journey to the West and Red Chamber, and you can go back and forth. It has been filming on the ground for several years, and the young people nowadays, you are called 'Xiao Xianrou' and 'Xiao Hua', rarely can calm down to think about the performance, let alone divide the performance into many layers!" Kong Yi said faintly Said, "Of course we won't say this on the bright side. There is a generation of literature, and there are also different arts. Existence is reasonable! We present what the times need. This is the most basic art. As for It is of course good to explore deeper things, and those who are satisfied with the status quo, we will not and cannot criticize anything. Human beings are born free, and it is our own right to choose anything.”

Before the words finished, Kong Yi withdrew his gaze and looked straight at Ji He: "But you surprised me. The surprise is your understanding of acting."

Ji He met Kong Yi's gaze, and pursed his lips: "You mean..."

"That's what you mean." Kong Yi smiled gently at him, "I made a literary film ten years ago and won the Golden Horse Award that year. It was Wen Yueming's "Annual Ring". That kind of seriousness and meticulousness in performance is rarely seen now. But today... you let me see it again!"

"If you continue to boast like this, I will feel that my acting skills are really good. I may win an Oscar in the future. You should hit me first and let me maintain a humble attitude." Ji He said so bluntly to Kong Yi The way of boasting was a little uncomfortable, and he shook his head with a smile.

Kong Yi couldn't help but smiled, immediately waved his hands, stood up, took Ji He downstairs, and said as he walked: "There is still a long way to go to Oscar, even Wen Yueming doesn't have the ability now! You are still young It’s good to explore slowly in the country first, greedy for success is not a long-term solution, and there is no essential difference between this and fishing.”

"In the past two days, I will ask my subordinates to send the contract to Xiao Lin. First, you can take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be changed. Then we will find time to sit down and have a good talk before signing a formal contract. Nothing unexpected will happen. If the weather turns warmer in early March, we will be able to start the film. The filming location is already being negotiated, and it is tentatively decided to be in a few small towns near Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there are also some urban scenes, which should be in Shanghai or Hangzhou.” Kong Yi thought for a while and said, "The audition performance just now was really good, but there are still many areas that need to be carefully polished. You have talent and are willing to work hard. When the time comes, you can watch it slowly after entering the group. Don't worry about it here. For a moment."

Ji He nodded.Kong Yi, as the leading gold medal director in China, has a gentle temper like a big brother next door. It is easy to make people like him, and it also makes people have a lot of expectations for the next film "Shimmer".

"Okay, there's nothing to do here, so I won't keep you any longer," Kong Yi said with a gentle smile, "The people in the studio can almost get off work, after all, it's the Lantern Festival, and traditional festivals should be spent with family members. "

During the conversation, the two had already walked outside the reception room.Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Jie pushed the door open and came out. Looking up, she saw Kong Yi and Ji He walking over talking and laughing, and the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Judging by their situation, they should have passed the audition!

Sure enough, Kong Yi brought Ji He over, first said "Congratulations" politely, then chatted with Lin Jie carefully, and quickly agreed on a time for the next meeting to discuss the contract, and then made a phone call, He called over to Assistant Dong who was busy with work, and asked him to send him back.

"No, no, you don't have to be so polite." After all, Lin Jie's manager wasn't in vain, so she hastily and politely declined. When Assistant Dong came here, it was polite to bring them here. Now that the audition for "Twilight" has passed, The director is the ancestor, who dares to order him easily?

Kong Yi listened, the corners of his eyes raised slightly, and then he glanced at Ji He, and smiled gently: "Everyone is quite polite this time, don't expect me to speak well when I get into the crew, You will still scold when you should scold. Let Xiao Dong send you out, if you want me to be polite next time, you will have no chance!"

Ji He knew that Kong Yi's gentle temper was no secret in the circle, but he couldn't help laughing at Kong Yi's description, smiled slightly, and then agreed.

Assistant Dong watched from the side, knowing that Ji He's audition had most likely passed, and the smile on his face increased a little, and he hurriedly said, "Welcome to the crew of "Shimmer."

"You are the only one who can talk!" Kong Yi glared at Assistant Dong, and waved his hand at Ji He, "Let's discuss it in detail next time we meet, and hurry back to celebrate the festival!"

As he said that, he was about to turn back to his office, but his steps suddenly paused.

Assistant Dong, who was about to send someone out, was also taken aback, and asked subconsciously, "Is there an earthquake?"

Just at the moment just now, the whole residential building seemed to shake!There was an ink painting hanging on the wall not far away, and the frame seemed to shake slightly.

Ji He obviously felt it too, and calmly released his consciousness around, before he had time to investigate carefully, there was a violent shaking under his feet!

"Earthquake!" Several staff members in the working area outside were aware of it, woke up from the state of immersion in work, and shouted one after another.

Ji He glanced at Lin Jie beside him: "It's not an earthquake, you should stabilize their emotions first, and don't let them move!" Saying that, Ji He didn't care about Lin Jie's surprised look, and took a big stride. Returning to the reception room, there was a huge glass window there. Ji He stretched out his hand to push the glass window open, and jumped out of the window without saying a word!

This series of changes happened in an instant, and by the time Lin Jie realized it, Ji He had disappeared, and the earthquake just now seemed like it never happened!

Lin Jie subconsciously turned her head and glanced at the reception room, she was startled: this place is at least two meters above the ground, why did Ji He jump down?

"What's going on?" Kong Yi said suddenly, and his voice was rare and severe, "Where's Ji He?"

Lin Jie finally came back to her senses from the mess. When her feet trembled again and screams of terror came from all around her, she shot suddenly. The peaceful atmosphere that belonged to Bai Ze immediately enveloped the whole space. Lin Jie Jie calmed down and said gently: "It's not an earthquake, everyone listen to me, stay in your respective positions and don't move around at random, everything will be fine!"

Assistant Dong, who was only a few steps away from her, also looked confused, and returned to his station in a daze.

But Kong Yi yelled at her sharply: "What are you doing?"

Lin Jie was taken aback for a moment!

There are many people in this world who can resist the control of demons, ghosts and monsters, but there are not many people who can resist Bai Ze's unique aura of peace, which can play a soothing and calming effect. What kind of freak is Kong Yi?

The horn on Lin Jie's head trembled violently, and she was at a loss for what to do!At the same time, my heart became more and more anxious, where is Ji He?

Just at this time, there was a loud knock on the door, as if someone outside could break in in the next second!

Kong Yi walked quickly to Lin Jie, looked at her deeply for a moment: "Who are you?"

Although Bai Ze is an auspicious beast, his own spells are not very powerful, only the peaceful breath that can purify the evil spirits can be effective, Lin Jie muttered in a low voice irritably: "It won't harm you anyway!"

Kong Yi vaguely felt that something was wrong. Lin Jie's reaction was really not like an ordinary person, and there was still a continuous knock on the door not far away, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much, "Don't go and see see?"

"Ji He told them not to move around..." As soon as the words came out, Lin Jie was stunned. How could Ji He know that it was not an earthquake and told them not to move around?

What happened to Ji He?

Thinking of this, Lin Jie couldn't help but feel terrified. She started taking Ji He with him not long after his debut, and after so many years, she didn't find anything different about Ji He from ordinary people!

Before she had time to think about it, the knocking outside the door suddenly stopped, and immediately there was a hoarse and painful howl!Lin Jie's eyebrows twitched. As the auspicious beast Bai Ze, her sense of smell is far more sensitive than that of ordinary people. The blood in the air is so thick that it can hardly be melted, which makes her feel sick. Biting his lip, his face suddenly turned pale.

Kong Yi hurried over to support her, and before he could ask, the door was pushed open from the outside!

It was Ji He who came in.

#####Finally going to lose the horse in front of the agent!
