Chapter 15 Auditions
I can't help but laugh.
What exactly has Xiao Dai been thinking these days.
"It's not that exaggerated." I said to her, "Don't think so much."
"I... I actually, actually didn't think about it..."
Xiao Dai still couldn't stop sobbing, the driver looked at us strangely.
The driver is one of Mr. Wei's subordinates. He has a simple understanding of our relationship and has always been a tight-lipped person.At first, when Xiao Dai thought Mr. Wei and I were a couple, he kept his face; now that we have spoken, he is still the same as before.
Only at this time there was a strange look, probably because Xiao Dai's reaction was really unexpected.
After I persuaded her for a while, Xiao Dai's tears finally stopped, and she was finally able to articulate the reason why she was like this——
"Brother Zhizhi, you don't even know that since I became your assistant, I like you more and more every day. In fact, when I passed the interview, my best friend came to persuade me. She said that if you want to chase stars, you should stay away. When chasing from afar, it is best not to get close to the idols themselves, because once you get close to them, your dreams will be disillusioned, after all, real people cannot stand scrutiny.”
"But my dream is not disillusioned." Speaking of this, she laughed through tears, "I am very happy to be Brother Zhizhi's assistant until now."
"Since I became your assistant, I have told my girlfriends every day, how can there be such a perfect person in the world: mature, stable, serious, polite, high IQ, strong business ability... and caring We are very calm in everything we encounter, and we have too many advantages to praise."
"It's too exaggerated." I laughed, "It's because you have your own filter that you think I have many advantages. In fact, I am not as powerful as you think."
"It really is!" Seeing that I didn't believe it, Xiao Dai emphasized it over and over again, "Special, very powerful!"
"I have been in the entertainment industry for a year. I have indeed seen many artists who are completely different from their predecessors. They have traffic and seniors, but only Brother Zhizhi is different. Brother Zhizhi himself is better than what he sees on TV. The ones that are better are too much, too much, too much."
She looked at me stubbornly, trying to get me to agree with her statement.
I had no choice but to nod to her and said, "Then thank you for your compliment."
Xiao Dai immediately smiled until his eyes narrowed.
"If Brother Zhizhi and Mr. Wei are together because of money, then there must be their own difficulties." Xiao Dai's eyes were firm and his tone was serious, "You must not say it all, so I won't ask, but I know, I know... brother Zhizhi must have suffered a lot."
At this point, she almost choked up again.
While I couldn't laugh or cry, I was grateful for the unreasonable trust in her.
"Thank you for your understanding, but I didn't work that hard."
She shook her head, and after a while, she suddenly asked hesitantly, "Brother Zhizhi...do you really, don't like President Wei?"
I startled slightly.
Xiao Dai quickly waved his hand and explained: "I mean, I always feel that Mr. Wei seems to like you...at least the way he looks at you is different from others, he—"
"Xiao Dai." The more she said, the more unrealistic she became, and I finally interrupted, "Mr. Wei has someone he wants to marry."
Xiao Dai stopped immediately.
I sighed softly, and spoke again: "He has someone he has liked for a long time."
I can't even tell who I'm talking to.
This time, Xiao Dai stopped talking for a long time.After a while, and the nanny car drove halfway, she said in a very low, very low voice——
"However, I think Brother Zhizhi treats Mr. Wei differently."
Hearing this, I handed her a bottle of water and only said, "Maybe."
But I am not a person who likes to rely on feelings.
There are times when I feel like I'm impersonal.
To put it less modestly, in my long life, I have never lacked suitors. From middle school, college to work, and now, I can't count how many people I have rejected.
And every time my answer is the same as a template-"Sorry, I don't want to talk about feelings yet".
Such uninspired words, others may say it because of perfunctory, but I really think so.
Probably because it was difficult enough at that time, and even the short-term desires were extremely simple. I hope that it is not necessary to be rich, and it is a good thing to have three meals and accommodation.As a result, I really have no free time to think about things other than life, and I dare not easily bear the feelings of another person.
I can't be responsible for myself yet, so how can I drag others down?
Now that life has settled down, my heart is still barren.
As Xiao Dai said, I may be different to Mr. Wei.
I tried to find the reasons for the differences, but I couldn’t come up with any suitable answers. The only thing I knew was that I would not drag him down—he didn’t need my feelings, nor my responsibility. What he needed was a relationship. The fast-moving relationship, and I profit from it, is like a transaction with each other.
Where is the use of the ambiguous word "as if".
It's really just a deal.
----
Half an hour later, we arrived at the audition location.
As Director Zhang said, this audition was not just a formality.There were a lot of people who came to audition, roughly ten people, most of them were in their 30s and [-]s, and many of them were familiar faces, often seen on the big screen.
Director Zhang didn't treat anyone preferentially, he just asked everyone to wait in the waiting room, and then called them one by one to go in for the audition.
When it was my turn, it was already half an hour later.
When I walked into the audition room, I found that it was simply arranged like a high school classroom. There were four desks and chairs in the middle of the shed, and several high school textbooks were stacked on the table.
On the side, the director, screenwriter, producer, and investor sat in a row. The investor seemed to be from the same island.
Director Zhang obviously still remembered me, and when he saw me, his eyes lit up for a moment.He clapped his hands, didn't say a word of nonsense, and went straight to the topic: "Is He Zhi right? Let's start."
I made up my mind, closed my eyes and opened them again, then walked to the seat in the middle and sat down.
The so-called performance without physical objects is mostly based on imagination.
There is no sunlight in the shed, only dazzling lights.
I looked in the direction where the podium and the blackboard should be displayed. Through time, I seemed to see a sunny summer day a few years ago, when I was still a young student.
In the quiet afternoon, the head teacher of the high school used the class meeting time to play a passionate video.
That era was not as developed as it is now. In small, remote [-]th-tier cities, not every household had a computer and the Internet. Therefore, no matter the students who stayed or went to school, they had never been fully exposed to the magnificent and ever-changing world outside.For me, the channels for obtaining external information are earnest instructions from parents and teachers, frequent TV programs, and newspapers and magazines in newsstands.
At that time, people didn't know that there were many helpless things in the world, and they thought that there would be light in the future.
So easy to yearn for.
The teacher may have seen the light in my eyes, and pointed at me with a finger holding a chalk: "Student, tell me about the future you want."
Scattered sunlight comes in through the sparse branches.
I stood up and looked at the class teacher on the podium, and I seemed to see a large, gorgeous sun in my eyes.
"I'm getting out of here."
I seemed to hear my own passionate voice, and I didn't care about the doubtful eyes cast by my classmates, and I couldn't care about others whispering and laughing at me for not knowing what to say.
I have never been so yearning.
So sure.
I only saw longing and hope.
"Card--"
It was Director Zhang who stood up.
"Very good, very good." He smiled and clapped his hands, "He Zhi, is your outfit specially prepared for the audition?"
I nodded: "Yes."
Today I specially wore a white shirt and casual black trousers, and made my hair natural and docile, in order to get close to the image of a student.Although the audition is more important than acting skills, there is no harm in fitting the role.
"You have what I want in your eyes." Director Zhang said, "Now I want to fix you directly."
The industry's criticism of Director Zhang has always been straightforward, and he rarely beat around the bush, so he offended many people when he first entered the circle, and he has been in the circle for several years.Fortunately, he has a great talent, seized the opportunity to turn himself around in one fell swoop, and became a person who made the rules instead of following them.
To get such an evaluation from him, my audition should be acceptable.
"Thank you Director Zhang for your confirmation."
"You're welcome. You should be praised if you do well. Otherwise, what's the point in this world?" Director Zhang pushed his black-rimmed glasses, "You go to another lounge and wait for the rest of the people. After the audition, I will directly announce the result."
This alone is enough to show that Director Zhang is a vigorous and resolute person.
I bowed to them and left.
Surprisingly, I was the only one in the other lounge, and the actors who had completed the audition were not waiting here.
At this moment, I understood Director Zhang's intention.
Another half an hour passed, and Director Zhang and the producer walked in.
I stood up.
Director Zhang laughed heartily: "Don't be polite, don't be restrained, you will be my leading actor from today on!"
I stretched out my hand to him calmly: "Director Zhang, it's a happy cooperation."
"Of course, it's a pleasant cooperation. I like your temperament. Actually, at the banquet that day, I fell in love with you immediately, but I didn't say anything." Director Zhang shook my hand and said in a joking tone, "Later, Mr. Wei asked someone Send me a message, let me keep my eyes open and don't miss the uncut jade, I think my eyesight is so bad?"
I smiled modestly: "Director Zhang is overrated, it is my honor to be able to act in your movie."
Director Zhang had a peaceful smile on his face: "Do you know why you are attracted to you?"
I guessed: "Acting skills?"
"This is one aspect." As he spoke, Director Zhang glanced at me up and down, "The first time I saw you, I felt that you had an aura of 'summer insects can't speak ice'. Yes. Do you understand what I mean?"
Artists are always very abstract when describing a thing, I nodded: "Probably."
"Your eyes are in line with the temperament of this character in the later period."
"I'm sorry Director Zhang, I don't quite understand this."
After all, I haven't got the full script yet.
Director Zhang explained: "In this circle, I have seen too many different pairs of eyes. Most of them are blinded by chasing fame and fortune, because some people come in with the purpose of making money, and some people gradually come in. Defiled. Rarely have I seen a young man like you, you have a story in your eyes, you have the same qualities as the protagonist of this movie, very precious qualities. You are even tougher than him, and you have more sparkle .”
When talking about the character setting of the movie characters, Director Zhang became sharper.
"Actually, this time, I want to choose a young actor who has experienced vicissitudes but is full of resilience. Is it very contradictory? In the early stage, there were many people who climbed up from the mud step by step, but it is different now, and the times have changed. The way people like it has also changed, most of the people who can get ahead are operated by capital, earn a salary much higher than ordinary people, but they don’t even have the basic qualities of an actor, and they have to brag every day about how tired they are and how hard they can endure hardships.”
Having said that, Director Zhang took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and asked me if I mind with his eyes. I shook my head, and he lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and continued talking.
"The tenacity in your eyes that has experienced the world is rare now, and it was hard to see in the past."
I have indeed experienced some things, but I seldom feel that I am such a tough person. All along, I just keep moving forward.Now being analyzed so seriously by Director Zhang, I feel a little embarrassed.
"Hahaha, don't be humble." Director Zhang smiled and continued, "Actually, at first I was worried that if the male lead was decided, then you would also be in the role as a teenager. I was afraid that you would not be able to play the role of a teenager. The passion and purity of human beings—the kind of forward-looking, positive, and hopeful eyes. But you did it, and I don’t need to find another young actor, which is very good.”
The producer on the side laughed and said, "I've heard him beating around the bush for so long, but I'm actually just praising you, and by the way, just praising the heroine of his new movie. After all, I have to thank you too, Mr. Wei. I said, as long as you are sure to participate in the show, he will invest this amount for us—"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and exaggeratedly compared a number.
It is indeed a big deal.
Director Zhang gave him an annoyed sideways glance, then turned to me and said, "Don't pay attention to him, he's out of money. I don't just film for money. If you can't do it, I won't want you."
Director Zhang is taking my face into consideration.
But I'm not going to belittle or be arrogant about it.
It's just that after returning home, I still have to thank Mr. Wei, and then study the script and characters more carefully, and cooperate with the filming, so as not to let the company's investment go to waste, and to live up to Director Zhang's value.
I said, "Mr. Wei has a good eye, and what he likes is Director Zhang's ability."
Hearing this, Director Zhang took a deep look at me, put out the cigarette, and asked, "He Zhi, movies and novels have titles, but life has no title. If you were asked to give your life a title, what do you think is appropriate?"
I thought about it and told him—
""He Zhi Ke Yi"."
What exactly has Xiao Dai been thinking these days.
"It's not that exaggerated." I said to her, "Don't think so much."
"I... I actually, actually didn't think about it..."
Xiao Dai still couldn't stop sobbing, the driver looked at us strangely.
