I learned lightness kung fu after killing

Chapter 39

Xia Qi held the phone to discuss with Xiao Zhou: "What does this mean? Do you want to pass?"

Xiao Zhou quickly Googled Zhang Hongfu: "The boss of Xingdi Building Materials Company, is this the person?"

Xia Qi looked at it: "Yes, yes, that's it. It was in 82? I thought it was in 72."

Xiao Zhou: "I'll call Teacher Xing."

Xiao Zhou was on the phone when Zhang Hongfu's second friend request came over anxiously: "What? We are all colleagues, I have something to tell you."

Xiao Zhou put down the phone: "Teacher Xing didn't answer."

Xia Qi: "Probably he's gone to take a shower. I'll go through it first and see what he means."

Xiao Zhou pulled his arm nervously: "Yes."

Xia Qi passed the friend application, and Zhang Hongfu sent a message after a while: Xiao Xia, I am the main investor of this crew. I want to chat with you face to face about the performance of the characters. Come downstairs to the lobby.

Xia Qi asked Xiao Zhou: "How much is the total investment for this drama?"

Xiao Zhou: "I heard, more than 3 million?"

Xia Qi complained: "During the audition today, the investor sat in the back row. How could he have the face to say that he is the main investor?"

But after all, he is one of the investors, so Xia Qi didn't want to be too offended, so he edited a very polite message: Teacher Zhang, I'm going to bed, can I talk about the role tomorrow?

Zhang Hongfu: I watched all the auditions for the main characters today.

Zhang Hongfu: You are the worst.

Zhang Hongfu: But I like you very much, so I want to guide you, and I hope you can win this role.

Zhang Hongfu: After all, the male lead is paid 5000 million yuan, I hope my money will be spent on the actor I like [Han Xiao]

A paragraph of words is first suppressed and then raised. If a simple child would go downstairs with tears of gratitude, but who in the entertainment industry is not a genius, Xia Qi complained: "He is still directing, and he is not a director. What are you directing?"

Xia Qi continued to reply politely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, it's too late and I'm going to bed. Thank you for your kindness. If you want, you can discuss the script with the director tomorrow."

After a while, Zhang Hongfu sent over: "Okay, if you don't seize the great opportunity in front of you, forget it【Goodbye】"

Xia Qi rolled her eyes: "The unspoken rules are too poor."

Xiao Zhou asked: "Which unspoken rule is considered a good level?"

Xia Qi: "He can ask the director to inform me that I don't need to audition tomorrow, and go home directly. Then I will definitely ask the reason, and then ask Zhang Hongfu. At this time, he will explain the reason slowly and give the conditions. Actor Flying all the way to Beijing, the company didn’t know how much resources were spent to get people in to get an audition opportunity, but the audition opportunity was denied, do you think the actors would agree?”

Although Zhang Hongfu sent a goodbye emoji, he didn't intend to really say goodbye, so he started chatting again: Was there a traffic jam when we came yesterday?

Xia Qili ignored him.

Xiao Zhou: "Then why didn't he do that?"

Xia Qi: "One possibility is that he is really the main investor, but the director is unwilling to join forces and rejected his request."

Xiao Zhou: "That's good, the director is an upright person. What about another possibility?"

Xia Qi put down the phone: "He is not a major investor at all, and he has no ability to do this."

the next day.

Xia Qi finally met everyone who auditioned today.

There were a lot of people sitting outside the conference room. There were eight actors in total. They nodded to each other as a greeting, and then lowered their heads and recited the script madly.

Actresses sat in the other row, and the first two were first-line film actors Ban Yingmei and Gao Na, both of whom had won awards at foreign film festivals.

Xing Yanglin was right, Xia Qi secretly expressed that he really wanted to ask the two of them for autographs, why did they come to act in TV dramas when they were both big names, and whether they would feed the younger generation.

Ban Yingmei and Gao Na were not nervous at all, they were chatting and laughing with cigarettes in front, and the actresses sitting behind them, no matter what awards they had won, were all juniors, they did not dare to strike up a conversation, and endured the smell of cigarettes.

Lin Weiwei explained this to him: "Compared to your male actors, we actresses have a much harder life. Usually, we only act in dramas where girls fall in love. As soon as we get older, we have to play the evil mother-in-law. I'm playing the queen, and I'll be playing the queen dowager in the next year, there's no intermediate stage at all. In addition, scripts are hard to come by now, so many movie cafes have to eat."

After a while, the actresses went in to audition in turn. Ban Yingmei and Gao Na never came out after entering. Other actresses came in and out, with different expressions. Qi was restless.

Then it was their actor's turn, and Xia Qi was assigned first.

As soon as he entered, he saw that the main creative team was still sitting like yesterday, and a few more seats were added beside them, namely Ban Yingmei, Gao Na, and Hong Kong's veteran actor, Guo Lihui.

This crew can change its name, Xia Qi thought, and change it to "Actor and actress walk around".

Shi Ye took the initiative to introduce to Xia Qi: "You know this guy, right? Mr. Guo Lihui, come to our crew to play the villain this time, and you will have more scenes with him."

Guo Lihui smiled and said, "You are so pretty, I like you."

Under great pressure, Xia Qi bowed and said hello: "Mr. Guo is good."

Auditions begin.

As a candidate for the lead role, Xia Qi has to try out a rivalry scene with Guo Lihui first. Guo Lihui is 1.9 meters tall, and when he stands up, he overwhelms Xia Qi in aura. He looks suave and suave. The charm of both good and evil, the uncle's style that the little girls like outside is probably like this.

Shi Ye flipped through the script: "Just the part where Mr. Wang went to Ye Yuqing's house to search for books, did Xiao Xia read it before?"

Xia Qi nodded: "I've seen it." Not only have I seen it, but Mr. Gong also took him to act.

Shi Ye asked: "How do you think this part should be played?"

Xia Qi is as good as he is, and almost blurted out: "Even if you are weak, you are not afraid of power, even if you are afraid, you would rather die than surrender. Most of the emotions are expressed with eyes and small movements. The audience cannot see too obvious expressions and emotions, otherwise it will be too exaggerated."

Shi Ye raised his head, and his sharp eyes shot over: "You figured it out yourself?"

Xia Qi answered honestly: "No, Mr. Gong Yi taught me, he is in the same company as me."

Guo Lihui was pleasantly surprised: "Wow, what a coincidence! Gong Yi and I have been friends for many years. We used to be brothers in Hong Kong, and we often fought with each other."

Ban Yingmei interjected from the side: "Wow, when did Gong Yi accept an apprentice? And accept such a pretty one?"

The tense atmosphere was immediately swept away, and Shi Ye also smiled: "I didn't expect that they were all acquaintances. Why did Gong Yi go to Shanghai now?"

Guo Lihui said very familiarly: "Ah, I went to chase my wife."

After a few chats, the audition officially started.

Guo Lihui is more imposing than Gong Yi, but Xia Qi has been abused by Gong Yi thousands of times, how can he be afraid of Guo Lihui, when he and Guo Lihui stand together, although the aura is weak, but the character itself is powerless Literati, so just right.And in the face of Guo Lihui's strong aura, he is completely able to withstand it, even with ease.

At the end of the game, Guo Lihui applauded first: "Young people are energetic, young people are awesome."

Shi Ye nodded: "Sure enough, he was taught by Gong Yi, not bad."

Guo Lihui corrected: "Hey, I have talent myself, if I work hard, I won't be able to teach it, right?"

Xia Qi blushed from the praise.

Next is the play with the heroine.

Shi Ye asked Xia Qi a problem: "You know these two actresses, right? You choose one to be your heroine, and play a part with her."

Xia Qi was stunned: "I choose?"

Ban Yingmei and Gao Na smiled at each other, and asked Xia Qi: "Which one of us do you think is suitable to be the heroine, which one do you choose?"

Xia Qi almost knelt down, the air was vaguely tense, and a faint smell of sex emerged in the air.

Ban Yingmei and Gao Na were sitting in front of him, both of them were beauties with incomparable beauty, every frown and smile was a joke, and they were looking at him playfully.

It's impossible to pick, no matter what position he is in, it's his turn.Xia Qi thought for a while: "I'm just a young actor, and you two are movie queens. If the two teachers are willing to take the time to teach me, I'll be satisfied. I don't know which of the two teachers is willing?"

Ban Yingmei and Gao Na laughed loudly, Ban Yingmei was eager to try, and said to Gao Na: "Then I will go first? Help you see how strong this little brother is."

Gao Na stepped aside generously: "Go ahead, I'll take a look below first."

Xia Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn over the script when Shi Ye handed them two pieces of paper: "Look at this."

Xia Qi took it and took a look: "Huh? There is no script for this segment."

Shi Ye nodded, proudly said: "For the audition, Mr. Dong Cheng specially asked Mr. Dong Cheng to write it impromptuly. Otherwise, what's the point of just trying the content on the script? It's all prepared in advance."

Ban Yingmei applauded and laughed: "Okay! The director did a good job! I like to play like this."

Xia Qi gasped: "Crying scene???"

Shi Ye: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

We all know that crying scenes are the most difficult. Crying is only the most basic, and it must be contagious. It can make those who see it sad and those who hear it cry. Only then can it be considered a qualified crying scene.

Before each crying scene, the director will give the actors a long period of time to adjust their emotions, so that they can cry, and the emotions will be brewed for at least an hour.

Then he heard Shi Ye say: "Two and ten minutes for you guys? After two and ten minutes, the audition will start."

In 10 minutes, he couldn't even memorize the lines, and had to adjust his emotions. Xia Qi was about to despair.

Auditions begin.

Ban Yingmei turned around, I felt pity for her beautiful eyes, and immediately pulled Xia Qi into the scene: "What did you say?"

Xia Qi's voice was hoarse, and he spoke with difficulty: "Mr. Wang's daughter and I are engaged."

Ban Yingmei couldn't believe it: "You, are you kidding? You were telling me a few days ago that you would take me to France after liberation. Why did you suddenly get engaged?"

Xia Qi's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look into Ban Yingmei's eyes.

Ban Yingmei pulled him to ask for an explanation, her eyes were already red: "Speak up!"

Xia Qi was in so much pain that she could only keep saying, "I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you..."

Ban Yingmei was about to cry: "I don't want your sorry, I want your explanation! Don't you hate Mr. Wang? He is a traitor! Why do you want to get engaged to the traitor's daughter? Are you collaborating?"

Xia Qi raised her voice: "I didn't!"

Ban Yingmei ignited a glimmer of hope: "Why is that? Did they force you?"

Xia Qi turned around, unwilling to face this question: "Don't ask me any more. Junjun, I'm the one who's sorry for you. In the future, you'll find a good man to marry and live a peaceful life from now on..."

Ban Yingmei burst into tears, falling down like broken beads, shouting: "I don't want it!"

Ban Yingmei slapped her face with tears, and wiped away the tears with her sleeve like a little girl: "I don't want to leave you. After we clearly agreed, we will go to France to see the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Victory together. Let's look at the stained glass of Notre Dame de Paris together, you said, you promised me..."

Xia Qi's eyes were hot, and he was driven emotionally by Ban Yingmei. His eyes were red, and he hugged Ban Yingmei, crying in his voice: "Yes. One day I will. I promise you. But you have to wait for me, I'm going to take care of one thing, and I'll come back when it's done, and then we'll get married under the Eiffel Tower in Paris."

Ban Yingmei cried loudly on his shoulder.

Auditions are over.

Ban Yingmei wiped away her tears one second, and crossed her arms the next: "He can't."

With a straight face, Ban Yingmei said to the director seriously: "I didn't shed a single tear, and my acting skills are not good enough. Even Gong Yi's director can't do it."

After the audition, Xia Qi knew that the result was not good, but after hearing what Ban Yingmei said, his heart still couldn't stop sinking into the icy water.

Guo Lihui smoothed things over: "Ah, time is tight, so it's normal for him not to cry."

Ban Yingmei spoke bluntly: "Normal? Then why did I cry?"

Guo Lihui said: "He's young, it's normal for him to have no experience. Look at the young boy who doesn't use eye drops for crying scenes."

Ban Yingmei immediately became upset, and she spoke as if she was arguing: "What do you mean? It's normal for them to use eye drops now? If you can't cry, you have no ability. Don't let this unhealthy trend go."

Guo Lihui slowed down his tone: "I didn't say laissez-faire, I meant that youngsters still need to practice, who hasn't been able to cry before practicing? Besides, the preparation time today is only 10 minutes, which is too strict for him. It's harsh."

Shi Ye smoothed things over: "Ah, stop arguing, both of you, the audition is not a formal filming, so please relax. There are still seven candidates behind, and this is the first one."

He said to Xia Qi: "Xia Qi, you go back first, we will consider your performance comprehensively at that time, don't worry, it will be absolutely fair and just, okay?"

Xia Qi was extremely frustrated, and nodded listlessly. He bowed to everyone and went out.

He locked himself in the room for one night, practiced that passage over and over again, and then he found that he really couldn't cry.

There have been crying scenes before, but at that time, the second half of the whole film was filmed, and the crying scene started when the whole person entered the scene, and then the director would adjust his emotions by the side at that time, and stay aside to find the feeling , felt it, and naturally cried out.

Xing Yanglin called: "Xiao Zhou said you locked yourself in the room, what's wrong? The audition didn't go well?"

Xia Qi gave a low hum, and told Xing Yanglin the general situation.

Xing Yanglin listened, and sighed: "Don't be sad, it's really difficult for you to cry in 10 minutes. Those old actors are skilled in filming crying scenes. Anyway, they will be back tomorrow, and then I will let you cry." Practice more crying scenes."

Xia Qi also talked about Guo Lihui speaking for him, Xing Yanglin said: "Well, I know, he used to be a good brother of Gong Yi, he was very nice and kind, when I have a chance in the future, I will thank him for speaking for you today .”

Xia Qi put down the phone and flicked the phone in a depressed mood, when a WeChat message just came.

Zhang Hongfu: You didn't perform well enough today. I told the director and asked him to give you another chance tomorrow.

Zhang Hongfu: I am singing downstairs with the director now, come over and accompany me for a while.

Xia Qi's audition didn't go well today, and he ran into such an idiot again, so he couldn't get angry. He saw the director, Ban Yingmei, Gao Na, and Guo Lihui driving out of the window before, Zhang Hongfu opened his eyes and told nonsense , really think of yourself as a piece of material?

Besides, I will definitely not be selected for my performance today. If I am not selected, I will not be worried at all. I don’t know if I can meet one in Beijing and one in Shanghai in the future.

Xia Qi angrily replied: Stay with me!

Zhang Hongfu: Don't want a role anymore?

Silence: It's not up to you, what are you pretending to be?

Zhang Hongfu: I pretend?OK, I want to see who pretends.

Xia Qi lay on the bed with broken jars, thinking to forget it, not to shoot this scene.It's so stressful to act with actors and actresses, and it's not easy for me to shine.

Besides, he also offended the investors, so he basically missed this drama.

After a while, there was a light knock on the door.

Xia Qi looked through the cat's eyes and saw that Zhang Hongfu was still wearing the ill-fitting suit, holding the wine in one hand, and calling softly at the door: "Xia Qi, Xia Qi, open the door."
