There are a total of six people on the judges' table, except for Tang Mourning and Zhou Yan who accompanied him, the remaining four are director Wang Lu, assistant director Xiong Yu, two screenwriters, and the producer Bai Guangjian who has the decision-making power.

But what Zu Qi didn't know was that even though Bai Guangjian was the producer of this movie, he rarely showed up in the crew. Even Wang Lu, who is the director, only met Bai Guangjian twice in total.

The first time was when we talked about cooperation last year, and the second time was today at the judges' table.

Bai Guangjian has always been busy with affairs. As for why he took the initiative to ask to come and select the actors for the audition, until now, no one in the entire crew can figure it out.

But Bai Guangjian's identity is here. No matter how recklessly he acts, no one else, including the director, dares to utter a word of protest.

The assistant first introduced to Zu Qi a few people on the judging panel, and then asked Zu Qi to introduce himself to them.

Before he came in, Zu Qi was still a little nervous, but after seeing the two familiar faces of Bai Guangjian and Tang Mourning, all his uneasy emotions disappeared in an instant.

After all, what he is facing is an acquaintance he has met many times in life, and Wei Mohan has already been assigned the role of Wei Mohan, and today he is only here to go through the motions...Of course he still has to show his best performance. Don't let others guess right away that he went through the back door.

Zu Qi settled down and listened attentively to the director's explanation of the audition rules.

The content is very simple. Zu Qi and Yue Ji are in a group, performing the script fragments designated by Director Wang one after another, while the other person is in charge of the opposite scene. The cameraman next to them will record their performances and put them together with other people's ones. Compare.

The interviewers will not decide on the spot whether the audition actors will stay or not, but will only make some general suggestions.

In Bai Guangjian's words, this kind of selection method is very suitable for going through the back door. Anyway, there is no fixed judging standard, and the final selection depends on his mood.

And the reason why the crew chooses such a big way to recruit actors is more because they want to publicize and create momentum, and by the way, take a look around the little famous fresh meat.

I have to say that there are routines everywhere in the entertainment industry.

Both Zu Qi and Yue Ji had read the script many times, but they were only limited to the script of Wei Mohan, and they didn't know the lines and plots of other characters.

Therefore, when the director took two brand new dialogue lines and handed them to Zu Qi and Yue Ji respectively, they were a little confused——

The segment they were going to perform didn't even exist on the script.

The content of the plot is that after Wei Mohan learned the truth about the death of his parents, he was determined to kill all his enemies, but found that his best friend was also on the list. Before hitting, he suddenly hesitated...

Director Wang gave them 3 minutes to familiarize themselves with the script. Zu Qi quickly adapted to the changes in the script and carefully analyzed the dialogue and personalities of the two characters.

However, Yue Ji's face became more and more ugly. He licked his dry lips, hesitated for a moment, looked up at Director Wang who was whispering to Bai Guangjian, and said hesitantly: "Director Wang, the script you gave us seems to be There is no such segment."

Director Wang turned his head and frowned, "So?"

"We are not familiar with this plot, and we haven't prepared enough. Can you change a plot from the script?" Yue Ji said very cautiously.

Director Wang sneered when he heard this, and asked Zu Qi: "What about you? Can you accept this script?"

Zu Qi nodded calmly: "Acceptable."

"Did you hear that?" Director Wang looked at Yue Ji again, with more or less sarcasm in his eyes, "He can do it, why can't you?"

Yue Ji bit his lip and said nothing, his flushed cheeks were full of embarrassment.

The assistant standing aside calmly explained: "This plot is indeed in the script, but it's just not shown to you. After all, it's an unpublished script, and it's impossible to send out all the content."

At the end, Daozhu smiled suddenly, looked at Yue Ji for a moment and asked, "You've read the script for so long, don't you even know if it's complete?"

After saying this, Yue Ji's face turned green and white, his mouth opened and closed, but he was like a dumb person who couldn't make any sound.

The assistant had clear eyes, didn't say anything, took two steps back, and then gestured for Zu Qi and Yue Ji to start performing.

In the first scene, as the main performer, Yue Ji played the role of Wei Mohan, and Zu Qi played the role of his friend Xin Zihang to cooperate with Yue Ji. In the script, Xin Zihang was seriously injured and lay dying on the ground. Wei Mohan rarely lost control of his emotions. , questioning his friend why he killed his parents.

It only took Zu Qi two seconds to sort out his thoughts. He quickly lay on his side on the ground, lowered his eyes for a moment, and when he raised his eyes again, his light brown eyes had already stirred up dark waves.

The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, his expression was filled with pain and difficulty, and he said in a weak but firm tone: "As the head of the sect, Wei Binghua colluded with the wicked and killed Zhongliang. They deserve to die!"

Zu Qi originally had a clear boyish voice, but at this moment he deliberately lowered his voice, which sounded a bit hoarse, and more of it was struggle and helplessness, as well as the anger of hating iron for being weak.

As soon as the first line was read, everyone present was stunned.

Director Wang, who was still hanging around a minute ago, sat up straight in an instant, staring at Zu Qi who was lying on the ground, with an expression of disbelief gradually appearing on his face.

Bai Guangjian and the others didn't expect Zu Qi to be able to enter the play so quickly, and they were surprised and delighted.

On the contrary, Tang Mourning and Zhou Yan, who were sitting on the far side, looked extremely gloomy.

Tang Mourning's hands on his knees were clenched into fists, and he didn't even notice when his nails were embedded in his flesh. He didn't dare to show it too obviously, but he couldn't hide the shock and jealousy in his eyes.

"What's going on...it's impossible for him to have such good acting skills..." Tang Mourning murmured in a flustered voice that only he and Zhou Yan could hear, "Why did this happen..."

He is very aware of how bad Zu Qi's acting skills are. It is absolutely impossible for Zu Qi's vase acting skills to enter the play within a few seconds.

Could it be that Zu Qi went to steal a teacher to learn art during this period of time?

But Zu Qi is not such a diligent person at all, and he is also busy with having children and currying favor with Xue's family, so it is impossible for him to have such free time.

The more Tang Mourning thought about it, the more anxious he became, and there was a panic in his heart that he was about to be compared to Zu Qi.

At this time, a hand reached out and grabbed Tang Mourning's wrist. Tang Mourning was a little dazed, and turned his head to look at Zhou Yan with relief.

Zhou Yan squinted his eyes, and quickly suppressed the calculation and insidiousness in his eyes. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, the good show is yet to come." As long as they are still sitting on the jury table, they are destined to be superior to Zu Qi.

Maybe Zu Qi will come to beg them later.

After such self-consolation, Tang Mourning finally felt a lot better. He calmed down and looked at Zu Qi not far away with dark eyes.

Time passed minute by minute in silence, and Zu Qi improvised a few lines, but he never waited for Yue Ji's response.

Yue Ji didn't seem to expect Zu Qi to get into the mood so quickly, and was stunned on the spot. The lines that had been rolling in his mind for several times just now were stuck in his throat.

What should he do?

What should he say?

The script only wrote what he was going to say, but not what he was going to do before speaking.

The tension and apprehension of hindsight overwhelmed Yue Ji in an instant. He didn't have much acting experience, and more often he was a guest star in famous director's movies as a vase, and his on-scene experience was almost zero.

At this moment, Yue Ji's mind turned into a mess, just when he was at a loss what to do, Director Wang's angry voice suddenly interrupted his chaotic thoughts.

"What are you doing? Are you standing there performing a sculpture? If you don't want to act, just get down, don't waste everyone's time!"

Director Wang was easy to talk, but he was very serious when he was working. He slapped the table with the script rolled into a roll, and it seemed that he was pissed off by Yue Ji's reaction.

"Yue Ji, it's your turn." Tang Mourning reminded, then turned to Director Wang with a smile, "Maybe I'm inexperienced and nervous."

Director Wang blankly glanced at Tang Mourning, who was obviously speaking for Yue Ji, and said nothing. This Tang Mourning was brought in by Bai Guangjian's ex-wife, who also squeezed out Zu Qi, who was supposed to play the leading role.

Now that Bai Guangjian's ex-wife has fallen, Tang Mourning's acting skills alone are not even qualified for a small supporting role. His own position is in jeopardy, and he still has the mood to worry about others.

Director Wang sneered inwardly, and when he turned his head, he saw the flustered Yue Ji bowing and apologizing non-stop. He was a little annoyed at once, and waved his hand to signal for the assistant to let them act again.

Zu Qi likes acting, and enjoys the process of acting very much. Without a word, he lay down on the ground again, frowning, and repeated the lines just now with great emotion.

With previous experience, Zu Qi performed more easily this time, and even made people ignore his untimely short hair, but Yue Ji, who was wearing a wig and equipped, continued to be stunned.

For some reason, Yue Ji was clearly ready, but once he saw Zu Qi's deep and painful eyes, it seemed that all his thoughts flew away in an instant.

"He is only suitable for stand-alone acting, and other people's emotions can easily lead him astray, and he can't act in an opponent's role." The assistant director pointedly pointed out the shortcomings of Yue Ji's acting skills.

Director Wang nodded, turned his head to look at Bai Guangjian, and found that the producer was playing with his mobile phone boredly. He was speechless for two seconds. He interrupted Yue Ji who was still stuttering and reciting his lines.

"Okay, this paragraph ends here, your positions are reversed."

Tang Mourning was stunned, and said awkwardly: "Director Wang, Yue Ji is a newcomer, with high popularity and great potential, why don't we give him another chance."

Director Wang glanced at Tang Mourning with a smile: "Am I the director or are you the director?"

"..." Tang Mourning choked immediately, pursed his lips with a blushing face, and did not dare to speak casually.

Yue Ji knew that he had screwed up most of this audition, so in despair, he turned his eyes to Tang Mourning who had charged him a lot of money for help, but Tang Mourning looked away guiltily.

For a moment, the anger of being deceived and betrayed rushed to Yue Ji's forehead. His eyes were a little dark, but he didn't dare to disobey Director Wang's order.

After a while of deliberation, he lay down in the same posture as Zu Qi fell to the ground just now, and then recited his lines forcefully, even the words that Zu Qi thought of just now.

Zu Qi: "..."

Bai Guangjian twitched the corners of his mouth and chuckled, followed by other directors and screenwriters led by Director Wang also laughed softly.

Yue Ji was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to lie on the ground and never get up again. He closed his eyes with a pale face, thinking that Zu Qi would be affected by the surrounding environment just like him, but he didn't know that Zu Qi entered the drama in a second.

"I treated you with all my heart and soul, but in exchange for you stabbing me in the back, won't your conscience hurt when you dream back at midnight every night?!"

Zu Qi completely lost the difficulty and pain of playing the role of a friend. His body was almost tense into a string, his eyes were half closed, and the hostility in his body poured out unabashedly.

Even though he still has the hairstyle of a modern person, his sinister eyes and deep and decadent demeanor make him seem to have turned into another person in just half a minute, and this person is Wei Mohan.

Yue Ji was intimidated by Zu Qi's relaxed acting skills, and was stunned again on the spot, but this time Zu Qi, who was the main performer, didn't give him another chance to save him, so he squatted down and grabbed Yue Ji's collar.

"Speak! Didn't you speak very well just now?"

"Shixi, you will never pay back what you owe me! I will keep your dog's life, and I want to watch you live in pain in this world." Zu Qi showed a ferocious expression, holding Yue Yue's hand. Ji Yiling's hands were shaking.

Yue Ji, who was acting in the opposite role, was completely shocked by Zu Qi's explosive acting skills, and he didn't react for a long time.

After the voice fell, the conference room seemed to be silent for a long time, and then there was a slow applause.

Seeing Bai Guangjian standing up and clapping his hands, Wang Dao and others hurriedly broke away from the huge surprise, stood up and gave warm applause.

"Good! The acting is very good!" Director Wang couldn't wait to walk over and pat Zu Qi on the shoulder, with an excited look of seeing each other late, "You are the Wei Mohan I was looking for, I finally got you!"

Yue Ji got up from the ground in embarrassment, and no one around him noticed his existence. When he heard Director Wang say this, most of the blood on his face disappeared instantly.

"Director Wang..." Yue Ji pulled Director Wang's hand carefully, "I'm sorry I was a little nervous just now, can I perform again? I have prepared for this role for a long time, and I have pushed a lot of collaborations and specially invited a teacher to guide... ..."

Director Wang waved his hand to interrupt Yue Ji's unfinished sentence. He frowned and said impatiently: "The first thing you have to overcome as an actor is stage fright. There are less than ten people here, but you can't even complete a sentence." You can’t even speak, and there will be a large group of people around you when filming in the future, what should you do then?”

Yue Ji was speechless, he couldn't find any reason to refute Director Wang's words.

Director Wang didn't want to get entangled with Yue Ji anymore, so he beckoned for the assistant to come and take Yue Ji away, and at the same time told Zu Qi to stay.

"Director Wang!" Yue Ji blushed anxiously.

He thought he was sure of everything, and he bluffed in front of his agent and the boss this morning, but he didn't expect Director Wang to like Zu Qi's idiot. How should he explain to everyone when he goes back?

Director Wang didn't know what Yue Ji was thinking, if he didn't have acting skills, he didn't have acting skills, even if he stood here for a few days and nights, he still had no acting skills.

"Xiao Xu, what are you still doing?" Director Wang shook off Yue Ji and grabbed his hand, and shouted at the assistant, "Hurry up and take him away!"

Daozhu knew that Daozhu Wang was angry, so he hurried forward to pull Yue Ji out, but Yue Ji seemed to be stimulated suddenly, he pushed Daozhu away, like an arrow leaving the string, he rushed to the place where he was still. Sitting in front of Tang Mourning.

"Brother Tang, hurry up and speak up for me. Don't you guarantee that I can get that role? You can't count your words! You charged me so much money, hurry up and persuade Director Wang!"
