Accidental Mark
Chapter 61
[unexpected signs chapter 61]
The next afternoon, Cheng Xia followed his agent Zhou Yan to the audition.
The audition was arranged in the conference room on the third floor of Rongcheng hotel. There were a lot of people on the scene, including several familiar faces, all of whom were traffic stars with a lot of topics recently. Zhou Yan is a little nervous. She takes Cheng Xia to the check-in office to sign in and get the number plate. Then she finds a rest room to sit down.
Zhou Yangang wants to tell Cheng Xia not to be nervous later. Suddenly, a tall alpha pushes the door in. Zhou Yan''s eyes are wide open. He thinks he has recognized the wrong person: "Pei... President Pei? Why are you here? "
Pei Shaoze said faintly: "I happened to talk about things in this hotel today. I came by to have a look at the situation." His eyes turned to Cheng Xia, and his voice was gentle: "how are you getting ready?"
Cheng Xia scratched his head with a smile: "it''s OK."
Pei Shaoze said: "I''ve asked someone to investigate. Several alpha actors who came to the audition today are quite popular. The first is Liu Yufei, who has played a criminal investigation drama, but he is not good at crying. He has no advantage in playing the role of Xu Ziyang. "
"The second Zhang Chen, who has tens of millions of fans, should want to change from idolatry to power. He wants to use this play as a springboard. At the same time, he is talking about an ancient costume big production plot play. Therefore, he will not devote himself to this criminal investigation online play."
"The third is the actor Liu Zhaoxuan, who has worked with Director Zhu. He is a tough guy. He has taken part in online movies such as gun fights and police bandits for many times, and his acting skills are also good, but he is almost 30 years old, and he lacks some fresh graduates...."
Zhou Yan was stunned to hear it!
Mr. Pei''s channels and contacts are obviously much better than those of her little agent, and her homework is too comprehensive. I don''t know where to get so much gossip, which makes Cheng Xia''s opponents clear.
Cheng Xia is also stunned. Unexpectedly, Pei always goes to find out the opponents who threaten him
After Pei Shaoze finished, he looked at Cheng Xia and said gently, "your opponents are very strong today. So, whether you win or lose, you have already succeeded in performing Xu Ziyang in your mind and impressing the director. "
Cheng Xia nodded: "I understand. Thank you, Mr. Pei."
Originally wanted to call "brother Pei", aware of the presence of the agent, Cheng Xia quickly changed his tongue, almost bit his tongue.
Pei Shaoze recognized his slip of the tongue, gently raised a radian on the corner of his lips, and handed Cheng Xia a bottle of mineral water: "sit down and drink some water, sort out your ideas, and don''t think about anything. From now on, you are Xu Ziyang."
Cheng Xia takes the mineral water and sits in the corner. Pei Shaoze makes a "don''t disturb him" gesture to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan simply goes out to wait for the call, leaving the space for Pei Shaoze and Cheng Xia.
After waiting for her to leave, Pei Shaoze sat next to Cheng Xia and gently rubbed Cheng Xia''s head: "nervous?"
Cheng Xia smiles and shakes his head: "with you, I''m not nervous at all."
Just now in the audition scene with a few high popularity flow star pass by, Cheng Xia heart is really very uneasy, always feel that their qualifications are too shallow to compare with these famous actors. But now, Pei Shaoze has analyzed his opponents one by one - he knows himself and his opponent, but he is not nervous.
Compared with those famous actors, he has no idol burden and can play freely. What''s more, no one will say anything when his small transparent audition is eliminated. Those actors who have tens of millions of fans will feel much worse than him when their auditions are brushed down.
So, what''s he afraid of?
Pei Shaoze gently took Cheng Xia''s hand and said, "don''t worry, director Zhu is a director with principles. No matter how popular other actors are, as long as you are good enough today to impress him, even if you can''t be selected this time, you will have a chance to compete for his plays in the future."
Cheng Xia''s hand is wrapped in the palm heart by alpha, and the warm feeling is passed along the skin to the heart. This kind of critical moment, the boy friend accompanies is not the same, he suddenly feels that the whole body is full of strength.
At this time, Zhou Yan knocked on the door and came in: "Cheng Xia, it''s already 76. It''s your turn soon. Let''s get ready first."
The hands they held together quickly parted.
Cheng Xia gets up and follows Zhou Yan. When he gets to the door, he looks back at Pei Shaoze.
Pei Shaoze nodded to him and encouraged him to go I wanted to see the situation with the past, but I was afraid that my presence would affect Cheng Xia''s performance. Pei Shaoze said, "I''ll wait for you here. After the audition, we''ll have dinner together."
Cheng Xia has a bright smile: "Hmm!"
Pei Shaoze told Zhou Yan: "Zhou Yan, please follow me and say hello to Director Zhu."
***
At this point, the audition scene.
An alpha actor shakes the air with both hands, pretending that there is a dead man here. He cries and loses his voice: "second uncle, second uncle!"
Director Zhu calmly interrupted him: "OK, thank you for participating in this audition."
The young actor was stunned for a moment. He bowed to Director Zhu with a red face. He turned around and went out in a hurry. Maybe he didn''t play well.
Next to him, the screenwriter with glasses couldn''t help scolding: "Damn, it''s a criminal investigation drama. He went in as a policeman to destroy the scene and shake the body of the dead. Was his professionalism eaten by dogs? Can anyone really come to audition? "
The deputy director said helplessly: "the crying drama is also very fake. After wiping his eyes for a long time, the corners of his eyes are not red."
Zhu Dao only left a comment: "too pompous."
After watching all day''s messy performance, director Zhu''s face was a little ugly.
The deputy director leaned over and asked, "Lao Zhu, what do you think of the former Liu Yufei?"
Zhu Zheng frowned: "his performance is fierce, the details are too poor."
The screenwriter said: "Zhang Chen, I feel like I''m just here to test the water. I didn''t make any serious preparations. I''m not very familiar with the script. Why don''t you think about Liu Zhaoxuan? He doesn''t have any experience with us. He''s good at acting
Zhu Zheng turned his ballpoint pen and said calmly, "Liu Zhaoxuan''s acting skills are OK, but he looks too tough. It''s no problem to play an experienced criminal police captain. As a fresh graduate criminal police trainee, his temperament is still worse... Let''s have a look again."
The deputy director said, "next, number 77."
There was a knock on the door outside.
A neat woman with a ponytail and a teenager came in. She came to Director Zhu and said politely, "Hello, director Zhu. I''m Tian Xuan''s agent. This is Cheng Xia, our contracted artist of Tian Xuan entertainment."
She handed Cheng Xia''s materials to the director with both hands, then stepped back two steps, and asked with a smile: "although Cheng Xia is a newcomer, he seriously prepared for the audition. What are the shortcomings of my performance later? Please criticize and correct me. I''ll let him learn more when I go back. "
The agent''s attitude is very modest and gives a good first impression.
The deputy director leaned up to Zhu Zheng''s ear and said in a low voice, "Mr. Pei said hello to me this morning. He said that he was very sorry for the trouble he caused to our crew, so he asked Tianxuan to send another newcomer to the audition. Cheng Xiagang has just finished a campus play folding paper, which will be released in the summer. In other words, before the release of our film, Cheng Xia is not at least a little transparent without works. "
Director Zhu nodded his head to show that he understood, and then he began to read the information handed over by the broker.
There are too many actors in the audition, so it is impossible for him to remember everyone''s information in advance. Most of them come to the scene to see it again. Turning to the first page, he saw Cheng Xia''s gender, which said "Omega male". Zhu Zheng looked up at Cheng Xia and said, "are you here to try the role of Lynch?"
The Omega forensic doctor Lynch in the play is gentle, calm and wise, and finally can solve the case because of many subtle clues he found. Is Cheng Xia too far behind Lin Jiao''s teaching in terms of age and image? Shu Yue''s withdrawal from the circle has caused a great loss to the crew. Is Mr. Pei calling such a newcomer to audition perfunctory to their crew?
Zhu Zheng frowned unhappily.
Cheng Xia stepped forward and politely replied, "director Zhu, I''m here to audition for Xu Ziyang."
All of you
The scene suddenly fell into a strange silence.
Zhu Zheng thought that he was listening and kept silent for a few seconds before he confirmed: "you Omega, come to audition for Xu Ziyang, a criminal policeman?"
Cheng Xia said seriously, "yes. In my opinion, actors should try more different roles to improve their acting skills. I like Xu Ziyang''s personality very much, and I will try my best to show his personality and psychology. I hope Director Zhu can give me this opportunity and let me have a try. If I don''t perform well, please correct me. "
Then he bowed politely to the director.
Zhu Zheng found that the boy in front of him was quite interesting. Omega came to try such a difficult role as alpha criminal police. There are also actors in the circle who like to play the part of Omega. Before, alpha, who has a rather evil personality, played the role of Omega and got a lot of fans. He doesn''t mind the identity or gender of the actors. As long as he can play the role in his mind, he is a good actor.
What''s more, Cheng Xia''s appearance is sunny and handsome, and her eyes are clear and bright, which is in line with Xu Ziyang''s temperament.
Zhu Zheng nodded his head: "OK, you start. Act seven. "
The seventh act is the scene when Xu Ziyang comes home from a party and finds his uncle''s family dead at home.
Cheng Xia takes a deep breath, closes her eyes, adjusts her mood, and then goes back to the door to perform.
He first made a move of "taking the key to open the door". After opening the door, he changed his slippers at the porch and cried to the room, "second uncle, I''m back!" That''s a lot more detail than the actors who rush straight in. Zhu Zheng sits up and looks at Cheng Xia.
Cheng Xia looks around and seems to be wondering why there is no response at noon. He leaned over and put his shoes into the shoe cabinet next to him - there were no props at the scene, but his actions made people understand what he was doing at a glance.
Put the shoes, Cheng Xia wear slippers into the house, soon aware of the wrong——
Strong smell of blood! Cheng Xia sniffs, frowns slightly, and speeds up her pace immediately. She runs to the bedroom door in three or two steps.
The bloody scene in the room makes his pupils shrink suddenly. Cheng Xia can''t believe staring at the bloody body on the bed. His whole body is shaking uncontrollably, and his voice begins to shake: "second uncle, second aunt!"
He wants to go in and check the situation inside the house, but after taking a step forward, he seems to realize that this is the scene of the murder. As a graduate of a police school, he does not have gloves, foot covers, or any testing equipment. If he rushes into the house, it may damage the evidence at the scene!
His outstretched foot immediately drew back and turned to look at the opposite two bedrooms.
The bedroom doors were open, and my cousin''s sheets were red with blood, and his death was tragic. Looking at the next bedroom, my cousin was lying in a pool of blood. A long trail of blood was pulled out on the ground. It was obvious that she was struggling to climb out, but she was brutally cut in half by the murderer.
Cheng Xia shows Xu Ziyang''s horror when he discovers his family''s tragic death by moving his eyes up and down, left and right, and changing his eyes.
"Xiaomo, Xiaoyun?"
"What happened? Didn''t you have a good meal last night?"
Cheng Xia suddenly roared, he stretched out his fist to beat his head, thought he had hallucination. However, a moment later, he opened his eyes, closed them, and opened them again - there was still blood around him, and all the people closest to him in the world fell into a pool of blood!
Cheng Xia is about to crack his canthus. He accepts the fact with difficulty. He is short of breath and his eyes turn red instantly. He clenches his teeth, clenches his hands tightly and slowly exits the scene of the crime. Then squatting at the door, the whole body began to shake uncontrollably.
The young man''s tears are like a tap that has been turned on. In an instant, his face is covered with tears, and he can''t care to wipe them. The tears flow down his cheek and into his neck, and soon wet his collar.
He seemed to come back to himself. He wiped his face and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. His fingers trembled and he could hardly hold it. Then he opened the address book and dialed a number: "team leader, I''m Xu Ziyang. A homicide happened in Room 301, unit 1, building 7, Dongfu Jiayuan community, No. 17 Renmin Road, Binjiang District. I''m on the scene. Please call the police as soon as possible..."
"... there were four dead people, a 45 year old middle-aged couple, a son and a daughter. The whole family was destroyed..."
The boy''s voice was shaking and choking all the time, but he made the address and the scene clear.
After repeatedly confirming the address with the team leader, he hung up his mobile phone and began to cry with his head in his arms. The suppressed cry was like the wailing of a wounded beast. It was clear that he didn''t roar, but people really felt his pain, despair and anger.
Director Zhu was staring at the boy squatting there crying. He held the tip of the ball point pen with a little force, and almost broke it.
I don''t know how long it took for Cheng Xia to stop crying and stretch out her hand to wipe away her tears.
The colleagues of the police force are coming soon. He can''t lose face in front of everyone. He also wants to catch this abnormal murderer with his colleagues and get justice for his uncle''s family who died miserably!
There was a trace of firmness in the boy''s red eyes. He quickly wiped away his tears, took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, turned to open the door and said calmly, "team Liu, this is the scene of the murder."
