Superior Skills [Entertainment Circle]

After being devastated by several waves of VR games, the second episode of the show was finally finished. Liang Ye's cold seemed to disappear out of thin air, and he recovered completely.

While everyone was amazed, Xiao Zhaolin's eyelids couldn't stop twitching. After sending Liang Ye home, he decisively declined the other party's invitation to dinner, rushed home, took a shower, and then began to prepare for a new round of work.

Tomorrow morning, he will audition for Bai Jianli's new movie. No further information about the movie has been released until now. He doesn't know what kind of script it is, and he doesn't know what characters are in the audition. Everything is still in the fog.

Xiao Zhaolin hadn't made any other announcements recently. When the company offered him this audition opportunity, it was only with the idea of ​​giving it a try. After all, because of Song Qian's relationship, many resources were closed to Xiao Zhaolin.

Even An An breathed a sigh of relief when he received the audition notice, but what followed was a mountain of pressure.Bai Jianli has always been known for his strictness, and he has extremely strict requirements on his own works, so he is also very strict in the audition. Without knowing any information, Xiao Zhaolin can only revisit Bai Jianli's past works repeatedly, even if he knows It's useless, and it's better than being unprepared.

But this was not the worst. When Xiao Zhaolin woke up the next day, he found that he had caught a cold.

He opened his eyes wide at first, and then sneezed several times in a row against the sunlight entering the room. He opened his mouth to inhale, and at that moment, his throat seemed to have dozens of feathers fluttering at the same time. It was so itchy that he couldn't bear it. He coughed continuously for half a minute, and finally recovered after drinking several glasses of water.

After the audition, I caught a cold, and I was really afraid of something.

I didn't expect Young Master Liang next door to have such severe germs.

Xiao Zhaolin groaned while flipping through the medicine box, thinking of Liang Ye's runny nose last night, he couldn't help but have a headache.

An An, who came to pick up the person in person today, stared at him with his chest folded, coughed twice from time to time, and Xiao Zhaolin, who sneezed occasionally, said with a dark face, "I caught a cold just before the audition. Is this a new type of operation?"

Xiao Zhaolin knew he was wrong, so he gave himself cold medicine seriously. Fortunately, the cold just came, and it didn't look too serious for the time being. When he went out, Xiao Zhaolin felt much better.

The audition for the film was held in the theater of the Academy of Drama. This audition was not open to the public, but there were many young and unfamiliar faces present, who seemed to be students of the academy.

Xiao Zhaolin was led into a room by the staff. After he went in, he saw a few familiar faces, but he could hardly call out their names. To his surprise, Fang Zanfei also came.

Xiao Zhaolin paused, looked around, but didn't find Song Qian.

Fang Zanfei saw him coming in from a distance, so he waved for him to come over.

As Xiao Zhao approached, he noticed that Fang Zanfei's hair was a bit messy, his body was plainly dressed, and his face was also quite casually groomed, which was quite different from his usual glamorous travel image.

Fang Zanfei handed him a piece of paper in his hand: "Morning, Brother Xiao, this is the audition process waiting for you. I'll be a few behind you."

Xiao Zhaolin bowed his head and browsed through it, and found that there was nothing on the paper except the audition process sequence. It seemed that the crew planned to keep it secret until the last moment.

There were all kinds of people around to audition, probably because they didn't know what to do, the atmosphere in the whole lounge was a bit like a rainy day, some people were pacing back and forth, muttering words, and they didn't know what they were preparing for.

The two chatted for a while, Fang Zanfei's cell phone vibrated several times, obviously there was a call, but he picked it up to look at it, put it aside with a blank expression, and didn't intend to answer the phone.

It took a dozen or so phone calls before it completely quieted down.

About a minute later, Fang Zanfei's phone vibrated again, this time not only the vibration, but also the ringtone, Fang Zanfei raised his eyebrows, and then picked it up to connect.

Xiao Zhaolin heard him say a name, it should be his manager, and after saying a few words, Fang Zanfei waved at him, and walked out while answering the phone.

As a result, Fang Zanfei seemed to have been on the phone for a century, and when Xiao Zhaolin went in for an audition, no one came back.

Xiao Zhaolin looked in the direction of the door with some worry, and finally turned his gaze back to the audition room under the urging of the staff.

When he pushed open the door, he threw all irrelevant thoughts behind him, his throat was a little itchy, but he still endured it and came to the center of the room.There was only a long table in front of him, with Bai Jianli sitting in the middle, and three other seniors who seemed to be well-known in the circle beside him, but the legendary main cameraman He Chuansheng was not there.

There was a very small table in the middle of the room. Bai Jianli flipped through Xiao Zhaolin's information, and remembered that this artist was the one Liang Ye had mentioned before. His eyes fell on Xiao Zhaolin's face, and he nodded slightly. , I feel that this person is really interesting in terms of appearance and temperament alone, and he doesn't have the greasy feeling of the new generation.

Bai Jianli pointed to the small table in the middle: "There are lines in the drawer, you have 1 minute to prepare, let's start."

Xiao Zhaolin was slightly taken aback, he did not expect such a short time for preparation.But when he got the lines, he realized that no matter how long it took, it was useless.

He took out a piece of paper with a few sentences written on it from the drawer, quickly browsed the content on it, and finally frowned slightly, not sure what was going on with the character on the paper.

On the whole paper, there are only two lines of a character named A, without explaining the background, the scene where the lines are spoken, and the object of the speech. The only helpful thing is a note at the end: A is a particularly popular character. People who can't smell the smoke will make him extremely uncomfortable.

Xiao Zhaolin stared at the lines and this prompt and pondered for a while, with some vague guesses in his heart.He raised his head and looked in Bai Jianli's direction. At this time, the old man didn't seem to be sitting very straight. He was leaning on the back of the chair obliquely, with his right elbow propped on the handle of the chair, his hands raised in the air, his index and middle fingers bent Make a subtle arc, like holding a cigarette.His left hand was placed on the table, and his knuckles tapped lightly on the table, making the slight sound as if the second hand was moving.

Xiao Zhaolin was taken aback for a moment, and understood in his heart.

The person sitting on the far left coughed lightly, indicating that it was time to start.

Xiao Zhaolin noticed that the aura around Bai Jianli had suddenly changed. He was still sitting in the same sitting position or in that somewhat casual and decadent movement, but at this moment Bai Jianli seemed to be the focus of the whole room, silent and majestic.

Xiao Zhaolin regained his composure, hesitated for a while, and then had an idea in his mind.

He lowered his eyebrows, bowed his body, and walked quickly to Bai Jianli. In just a few steps, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his aura seemed to have disappeared. He wanted to push himself into the dust. middle.

The atmosphere was stalemate in silence, Bai Jianli looked at Xiao Zhaolin without saying a word, and Xiao Zhaolin's fingertips trembled imperceptibly in the stalemate, as if unable to withstand the invisible pressure, he finally spoke: "... I lost a box of goods and injured a few brothers, big brother..."

The voice became lower and lower, the voice that was so low that it was almost inaudible finally exhausted all of Xiao Zhaolin's strength, his voice was stuck there, and he didn't have the courage to speak any more.

Bai Jianli moved his right hand to his mouth, his cheek twitched slightly, he frowned and raised his left hand to signal Xiao Zhaolin to come closer.

He was obviously making a smoking motion, Xiao Zhaolin couldn't fail to see it, but under Bai Jianli's signal, he quickly moved forward without the slightest hesitation.

The reminder note said that the character A is a person who can't stand the smell of cigarettes, but up to this moment, I haven't seen him show this in performances.

The several teachers who had been observing him couldn't help but look at each other, and some even became a little careless, probably thinking that the audition person in front of him was nothing more than that.

I saw Xiao Zhaolin standing still in front of Bai Jianli, with respect and fear on his face neither more nor less, Bai Jianli grabbed his collar with his left hand forward, opened his mouth and made a puffing motion, as if puffing out all the smoke in one puff On Xiao Zhaolin's face.

Xiao Zhaolin's eyelashes trembled slightly, he didn't dare to breathe, and the cold sweat on his forehead silently slipped down.

After Bai Jianli took a long puff of cigarette, he looked at Xiao Zhaolin as if he was looking at a dead person. He pulled his collar so hard that Xiao Zhaolin staggered.

"Give me back as much as you lost, and I'll cut a piece of your meat if you lose a penny, and if you don't have enough meat, I'll cut off your best friend. What do you think?"

Xiao Zhaolin's face was pale and his mouth trembled a little. He didn't dare to look at Bai Jianli, but said tremblingly: "I...I'll go now."

Bai Jianli narrowed his eyes, exhaled the last trace of smoke, and said with a voice like ice blades, "How long?"

Xiao Zhaolin: "...two, two days."

Bai Jianli's eyes were as sharp as a knife: "Two days?"

Xiao Zhaolin shuddered, and quickly changed his words: "One day!"

Only then did Bai Jianli snort, let go of his hand, took another puff of the cigarette, and finally said in a low voice: "12 hours, no more, it will be a little bit less by then, you can do it yourself."

Xiao Zhao's face was ashamed, and he answered hoarsely.

Only then did Bai Jianli wave his hand like a charity: "Get out."

Even if the performance of this section is over, the teachers next to them probably felt that the performance of the scene just now was not necessary, and they were already writing and marking the paper in front of them a little impatiently.

But Xiao Zhaolin on the field didn't seem to have any plans to stop.

Bai Jianli signaled everyone to wait.

Xiao Zhaolin turned around and took a few steps in disorder, making a movement to open the door and go out. After closing the door, he panicked and walked all the way to the corner, holding the wall like a fish out of water, covering his mouth with one hand, Started coughing like crazy.

The coughing sound was very violent, like a storm, and everyone present was startled.

But Xiao Zhaolin seemed to be trying to endure it. He pulled the clothes on his chest and covered his mouth. The sound of coughing was trapped in the clothes. It was depressing and dull.

Coughing to the extreme, tears also came out, streaming Xiao Zhaolin's face, this is not the handsome young man when he came in, this is clearly a sick gentleman.

Bai Jianli didn't know when he sat up straight, there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes, but when he looked carefully, he felt that it was an unfathomable shadow.

The suppressed cough finally gradually disappeared, only Xiao Zhaolin was left standing there bent over, shaking his shoulders and back with the frequency of coughing.
