happy this month

These words stunned the audience.

Yu Wei shivered violently, grabbed An Jiayue's hand, his palm covered with cold sweat: "He, Director He is so scary..."

He originally received a polite invitation from He Xinchen, and thought that the director was very kind and easy-going, but only now did he realize that he was completely wrong.

An Jiayue's mood was no more relaxed than that of Yu Wei, she quietly withdrew her hand and hid behind Yu Wei.

Not seeing each other for five years, He Xinchen's temperament has changed drastically, and he is now able to bully others.When I broke up with him, I spoke so harshly and didn't save any face. I don't know if He Xinchen has any grudges. If He Xinchen is unhappy with him, it would be bad to ask him to pay back the 30 yuan.

Yang Binbin's face was full of colors, he was an idol with millions of fans after all, he had never been insulted like this before, he was so angry that he shook his head and rushed out.

The door slams!It hit the ground with a loud sound like a bomb went off, and the entire reception hall shook. He Xinchen was unmoved, without blinking his eyes, and spit out: "The interview starts now, remember your roles."

As soon as the words were finished, the crystal ceiling light in the reception hall suddenly went out with a snap.

The crowd fell into the dark and confined space, and they immediately exclaimed and discussed: "What's going on?" "Did the door shake just now?" "Hey! Don't step on my feet!"

A staff member shouted: "Everyone, don't worry! Stand still, who is at the door? Go outside and have a look!"

Yu Wei backed away in a panic and bumped into the person behind him. He didn't know who he hit, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

An Jiayue supported him, and whispered in his ear: "Don't move, this is an interview, quickly pretend to be blind, the lights will turn on immediately."

"Eh?"

Half a second after Yu Wei realized it, the light flicked on again.

The panic on the faces of most people in the reception hall has not faded, and some people smiled at ease: "Fortunately, they have recovered."

He Xinchen raised his chin, Sun Xiang understood, entered the crowd and patted the shoulders of seven or eight calm people: "You guys stay here, the rest, today's interview is over, sorry."

The people who were eliminated looked at each other in blank dismay, and one or two of them finally came to their senses: "So I turned off the lights on purpose!"

I could only blame myself for not being quick enough, the waiter opened the door, and twenty or so young actors came out dejectedly. When they passed by He Xinchen, some of them had some complaints on their faces, obviously they didn't like the director's thunderous style. , perhaps it was a blessing not to be selected.

Yu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Jiayue, it's a good thing you reminded me just now that you reacted too quickly, thank you."

"You're welcome." An Jiayue smiled.He himself was patted on the shoulder by Sun Xiang, originally he didn't intend to participate in this interview, but in the dark, he thought of He Xinchen's domineering look when he entered the door, and he was very upset.

Disappointed with me?I'm much better than these new love spare tires you picked!

There are only seven or eight candidates left in the huge hall, standing in a row in a straight line.

He Xinchen walked in front of them, and slowly swiped his eyes from left to right, without staying on anyone for a second: "It is the most basic to assume a role. Next, please 'become a role'."

An Jiayue was thinking about the meaning of the last four words. At this moment, Xue Zhenyu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Please get down and play dogs."

Not long after his debut, he became popular in the circle. Yu Wei, who has always been held in the hands of the company and fans, is somewhat naive. Hearing this request at first, he was dumbfounded: "For..."

An Jiayue grabbed his arm and yanked it down!Yu Wei staggered and bent his knees suddenly with him, and with a muffled "boom", he knelt on the carpet with his palms on the ground, failing to ask the inappropriate "why".

Wu Yue of Shuoxing also reacted quickly, and the moment the two of them got down on the ground, they also got down on the ground.

He Xinchen walked up to them, the leather shoes were so shiny that they could even reflect the kneeling face of the kneeler.

"Play a dog that pleases its master." He Xinchen continued to give orders.

Yu Wei was startled, and he let out a "Wow" with difficulty, and made no other movements.

Wu Yue is much more relaxed, but his acting is very stiff, his demeanor is not like a dog, but like a person who is rolling around.

The leather shoes appeared in front of An Jiayue's eyes, and he crawled down without hesitation, his five fingers curled up as claws, pawing at He Xinchen's trouser legs, "barking" non-stop, then sticking out his tongue to pant, turned over and rolled on the ground, in a naive manner.

When he looked up to the sky, he could see He Xinchen's face under the backlight, covered by a shadow, and the dark eyes behind the lens looked down on him condescendingly.

Once upon a time, he also lay on He Xinchen like a puppy, kissing and biting him, thinking that this man was the best in the world.

So naive.

Xue Zhenyu covered his mouth and grinned, Yu Wei looked at him incredulously, and the rest of the staff remained silent.

The only sound in the reception hall was his barking like a dog.

He Xinchen stared at him for a moment, then turned to the other standing people: "Why don't you move?"

The others were speechless and hesitant.

We can't blame them either, these idol boys who have not received any professional training naturally don't know how to play animals, let alone this face.

An Jiayue still remembers that the first acting class given to them by Teacher Gao from the Film Academy was to let them act in a bunch of weird things, such as animals, plants, tools and so on.The purpose is to tell them: "If you want to be a good actor, you must first get rid of self-restraint and become the character itself."

There was a boy who clenched his hands into fists and then loosened them again, still unable to convince himself to play a dog humbly, and asked politely: "That...director, can I ask why we let us play a dog? Aren't we here to interview the protagonist? ?”

He Xinchen's gaze fell on the face of the boy who was speaking, it was a cold and almost heartless gaze: "Whether you can let go of your self-esteem and shame is an important criterion for judging an excellent actor, and it is also the key to whether you can play the protagonist in my movie well." One big factor. If you're just looking to earn a role and label yourself an actor, this isn't the movie for you."

The boy was stunned, his beautiful eyes widened, he had never been scolded in person like this before, his eyes turned red, and he was about to cry, afraid of offending others, he bit his lip and dared not refute.

An Jiayue seemed to see herself when she met He Xinchen for the first time. The difference was that at that time he was pretending to cry, but this boy really wanted to cry.

Whether He Xinchen is still the gentle and considerate gentleman back then depends on how he comforts the boy.

However, He Xinchen didn't look at the boy at all, and turned to casting director Sun Xiang: "I'll leave the job of casting to you, who are you picking? Are you kidding me?"

Sun Xiang was surprised: "No, it's not... Listen to me..."

"I don't want to listen to excuses. I'll make it like this next time and go get the letter of dismissal myself."

Everyone in the audience was silent, and Sun Xiang couldn't stop apologizing.Xue Zhenyu has long been used to this kind of Shura field, and patted his young master on the shoulder: "Okay, don't be angry, continue to pick people."

He Xinchen flicked his arm, squatted down, stretched out his hand, and rubbed the "puppy" who was still lying on the ground, acting like a master.

An Jiayue's throat choked, and she quickly adjusted her mood, raised her face, and rubbed her broad hand with a smile.

He Xinchen seemed to smile slightly, then held his arm and helped him up.The bruise on An Jiayue's arm was painful, and she couldn't help hissing. He Xinchen noticed something, and gently rubbed the big hand underneath: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's just a fall."

"Does it hurt?"

"fine……"

"Be careful."

"……Um."

This conversation was very weird, as if they had never been separated, and the tone was familiar as if they were still together yesterday.

Seeing this, Yu Wei and Wu Yue also stood up.

When An Jiayue stood up straight, He Xinchen had already stepped back to Xue Zhenyu's side, and said expressionlessly, "Those who didn't move just now can leave."

After sending away some young actors who were aggrieved, Sun Xiang came back and asked, "Director He, let's decide the end of these three? When is the right date?"

He Xinchen squinted at him: "There's no need to change the day, let's make a decision today."

This was too sudden and hasty, Sun Xiang and Xue Zhenyu looked at each other, Xue Zhenyu shrugged helplessly, Sun Xiang had to obey.

Only Yu Wei, Wu Yue, and An Jiayue were left in the reception hall. Two of them were idols. Yu Wei had only acted in one drama, while Wu Yue was a little better. He had acted in two TV dramas, both of which were male lead.There is also An Jiayue. Although she has acted in three plays, her combined roles are not as good as Wu Yue's, and she is not well-known.

The three of them looked at half a catty and eight taels, and they were not much stronger.

But if you have to stand taller than the dwarfs, An Jiayue's short performance as a dog just now was obviously much better than the other two, but the time was too short to show her true level.

He Xinchen pushed his glasses lightly, and said slowly: "It's been two rounds just now, to test everyone's reaction ability and basic quality. In the last round, please act out a scene from a movie."

He Xinchen gave a brief description, roughly the blind protagonist suffered a blow, went to the park to relax, walked on the path in the park, and suddenly tripped over by a naughty child on purpose, scratched his knee, hurt and felt sad, plus the previous home The scene of burning and losing shelter, ideals being blocked and helpless, multiple backlogged emotions burst out, and sitting on the ground crying bitterly.

Yu Wei was dumbfounded on the spot.

An Jiayue mourned for him from the bottom of her heart.I really can't help you, Yu Wei, I'm afraid your acting skills in ten lifetimes will be exhausted.

"Who will come first?" He Xinchen asked.

Shuo Xing's Wu Yue's acting skills were not good, but he was quite courageous, and volunteered: "I'll go first!"

He Xinchen nodded: "You step back ten meters, come over, I will trip you."

Wu Yue said "hmm", walked ten meters away, pretended not to see, and walked straight over.

An Jiayue raised her forehead.It's just a little bit better than Yu Wei's zombie acting.

When Wu Yue was about to walk up to him, He Xinchen stretched out his foot, and Wu Yue "Oh!" shouted and threw himself down, boom!The ground hit the ground, and the fall was considered natural.

But then it became very unnatural, Wu Yue couldn't cry, so he covered his face, sat on the ground, and pretended to cry, the sound was piercing, and the pain was so painful that he felt like someone died at home.

"Fuck, he's so smart." Yu Wei praised in a low voice, "I've learned it, I'll do it later."

An Jiayue: "..."

Yu Wei did what he said, and when it was his turn to act, he also covered his face and pretended to cry, but he cried more realistically than Wu Yue, because he fell too hard and knocked his knee, and he really cried in pain.

An Jiayue silently watched their artificial performance, speechless.

Sun Xiang couldn't bear to look directly at him, so he hurriedly got Yu Wei up, and his ears were cleared up. He estimated that the last one left must be rotten, and he only hoped that this farce would end as soon as possible. Hold an interview meeting, otherwise I will really lose my job, so I urged: "It's your turn, go!"

An Jiayue nodded, and walked ten meters away like Yu Wei and the others: "Then I will start acting, Director He."

He Xinchen stood quietly, silent, his eyes were focused on him, and he was extremely focused.

It looks like that, a bit of a director's posture, but who knows if it's another Ed Wood?

An Jiayue forgot all the past loves and grievances, stood up straight, straightened her body, looked ahead, swung her arms, as if throwing away something, then raised them slightly, stretched them out in front of her, clenched her hands into fists, as if holding one thing.

Sun Xiang's eyes lit up immediately: "Oh, not bad."

Xue Zhenyu didn't come to the audition scene very often, he didn't understand it, and asked: "What's wrong? What is he doing?"

Sun Xiang replied: "He threw away a folding guide stick and used it to explore the way. This is like a blind person walking in the park. He is very careful. And there is no physical performance, which is a bit difficult."

Xue Zhenyu whistled: "It's amazing."

Yu Wei was dumbfounded: "I can think of this..."

An Jiayue ignored their arguments, and had already walked over. He Xinchen also stretched out his feet to trip him. He let out a sound like he was defenseless, fell to the ground, grinned and gasped, and struggled to get up, with his hands all over the place. He fumbled around, as if he was looking for his guide stick, but he couldn't find it for a long time.

The anxious expression on his face gradually turned into sadness, his whole face wrinkled little by little, his lifeless but bright black eyes became more and more red, watery.He bit his lip and endured for a moment, his pale lips trembling, but the fragile eye sockets couldn't bear the heavy sadness after all, and two tears fell silently.

There are many kinds of crying scenes. It’s not enough to be able to squeeze out tears to count as a superb acting skill. Sometimes you need to hold back your tears, and sometimes you need to cry aloud with tears streaming down your face.

An Jiayue is not clear about the specific plot of this movie, but according to the known information, a blind person who aspires to be a singer and succeeds in the end must be a person with extremely tough heart, self-esteem and self-improvement, and such people rarely appear in public. Crying on occasions, unless after being suppressed in every possible way, you can't hold back your emotions and break down and cry.

Therefore, actors must proceed step by step, suppressing first and then raising.

An Jiayue let out her first sob, which was still weak and suppressed, but as the tears flowed more and more, the sob became louder and louder, until the tears flowed down her face, and a sharp roar suddenly rang out from her throat, resounding throughout the room In the reception hall, emotions erupted completely, shaking people's hearts.

Yu Wei and Wu Yue were stunned, their eyes unblinking, speechless for a while, convinced.

Sun Xiang and Xue Zhenyu were extremely satisfied and just wanted to watch this wonderful performance for a while.

He Xinchen didn't let them get their wish, squatted down, raised his hand to wipe off the wet tears on An Jiayue's face: "It's okay, don't cry, ah."

The soft "ah" seemed to be coaxing a child, An Jiayue's heart moved, she almost rubbed against her, she quickly leaned back, avoiding He Xinchen's hand, she twitched the corner of her mouth with tears in her eyes: "Okay."

He Xinchen paused with his fingers, stood up, and stopped supporting him.An Jiayue stood up staggeringly, her legs hurt a little from the fall, her head was dizzy from crying, her eyes were blurred, she staggered, and fell forward again.

It's over, this time it's 100% a real fall.

However, the expected pain did not come, He Xinchen caught him halfway, took advantage of the situation, and pressed him into his arms.

An Jiayue's tears rubbed against his suit, and she was startled and wanted to back away, but He Xinchen's arm exerted a little strength, making it impossible for him to escape.

"It's him." He heard He Xinchen announce to everyone present, "He's very good, I like it very much."

The author says:

Lao He wanted Yueyue to be fair and aboveboard, so he deliberately made some tricky problems to screen out others.He can't be unscrupulous for the time being, and how can he catch up with his wife so easily!

(Ed Wood is a lousy director, but his fan-director Tim Burton gave him an Oscar-winning biopic, Ed Wood, so watch it.)
