The Metamorphosis of Fanggoudan

The winter in Beishi is very cold, heavy snow like goose feathers is falling, and there are few pedestrians on the street. Duan Fang walks towards his destination with an umbrella.

He came to audition for one of the leading men in Ember Winter.

Song Yi was not sure about her own artist choosing such a script in the end.

Because of the high popularity on the Internet some time ago, many people contacted Song Yi intentionally or unintentionally, hoping to find Duan Fang to make a movie, and most of them were not low in salary.

Although most of the films are aimed at the popularity and face of Duan Fang, the quality of the script itself is not high, and the level of the director is not excellent, but a newcomer can be treated like a treat, and others would have been happy I agreed to come down.

Although Song Yi knew that his own artists were excellent, the performance of "Looking for Relatives" alone could not win him the production of a famous director's big script. Among the scripts that were handed over to Duanfang, the only two were still the same. A good script can only be won by Song Yi's connections.

Although different scripts were prepared, Song Yi's heart was more inclined to Duanfang to choose a high-paying and medium-quality crew.

This is not because of the money, but because such a production crew has low requirements for actors. As long as Duanfang shows his face in the past, he will definitely get the role. Unlike the other two scripts, even if they are separated, they still have to let When an actor goes to an audition, there is still a risk of being rejected.

Moreover, although the former type of crew has low requirements, the pace is fast, and the production cycle is extremely short. When Duanfang's popularity is not diminished, they can cooperate with each other when they are released. This is also very important for an artist's reputation.

But even though Song Yi had a good plan, Duanfang chose the latter option in the end. He chose a script with a strict director, a complicated script, a low salary, and a possibly long production cycle—"Winter of Embers".

This is a suspense film, or a suspense film that was abandoned by the popular niche.Zhou Zhili, the role that Duanfang is going to audition for, is the role that popular young student Du Yufei gave up on.

Song Yi once persuaded Duanfang to think carefully.In this script with two male protagonists, Zhou Zhili's role is not only less important than the other male protagonist Gao Hongbo, but Zhou Zhili's role is also the biggest villain in the movie.

With the setting of a young villain, it is difficult for ordinary actors to play well, and if you don't pay attention, you will have no sense of presence in your performance.Moreover, Zhou Zhili in the plot is not the kind of impressionistic villain who only shows a short section at the end, but a setting that intersperses the plot step by step.

This kind of character setting is not only difficult to play, but it may not be pleasing after it is played well.As far as Song Yi knew, there was also a reason for Du Yufei's abandonment of acting.

"Actually, I don't recommend you choose such a script now."

Song Yi is very thoughtful, if Duan Fang wants to act in a better quality script, he can wait until next year's Golden Bull Awards to choose. "Looking for Relatives" will definitely win a lot of awards. At that time, Duanfang was nominated for the Golden Bull Award for Best Supporting Actor, so he naturally had the opportunity to get more good scripts.

"However, I don't want to spend time acting in other scripts." Duanfang explained.

He is not picking and choosing, but wants to spend his time on things he likes.

Song Yi had no choice but to take him to an audition.

The director of "Winter of Embers" is called Niu Gai. Although he is young, he is a cutting-edge director. Although he is not as good as a famous director for the time being, he has made a few good films in the past two years.

As a cutting-edge director, Niu Gai has a unique vision in choosing scripts and actors. He never chooses handsome ones, but prefers to choose flavorful ones.The actors who have acted in his plays have never impressed the audience with their beautiful appearance, but with some indescribable qualities.

When Duan Fang walked in, Niu Gai's eyes fell directly on this too young actor.

This is a young man whose temperament is too clean, like an innocent child who has been staying in the greenhouse all the time, and has never seen the darkness of society.

While looking at Duan Fang, Niu Gai made calculations in his heart.

If you just look at the appearance, it is obvious that this actor called Duan Fang is worse than Du Yufei. Du Yufei is already 22 years old, and it is far less natural for Duan Fang to play a high school student.

But Niu Gai is not a person who only looks at appearances.So, he asked Duan Fang to try out a scene.

This is the scene where Zhou Zhili kills for the first time.

"Brother Zheng?" Song Yi looked at the producer in surprise and frowned.

Long before Duan Fang's audition, Song Yi established a good relationship with the producer, and the process will be relatively simple.But what I didn't expect was that Niu Gai would let Duan Fang act in this scene.

Brother Zheng smiled at Song Yi. Although he helped give Duan Fang the role of Zhou Zhili to audition, it is up to Niu Gai whether the actor can be used or not.Long before Song Yi brought people here, Brother Zheng had greeted Niu Gai, and agreed that the audition scene would not be too difficult, but who knew that Niu Gai would change his mind temporarily and let such a rookie actor audition? Hardest scene.

Brother Zheng complained a little in his heart that Niu Gai was going back on his word. If he really didn't want to let him intervene in arranging people, he could have refused to agree to this audition before, instead of having to embarrass others with the most difficult scene after agreeing.

But even though he was dissatisfied, Brother Zheng didn't show it. His boss and Niu Gai had a cooperative relationship. Now that Niu Gai had spoken out, he appointed Duan Fang to audition for that scene. Even if he had any ideas, he could only wait for the audition to end. Later.

Song Yi also understood this truth, so she had no choice but to hide her worries and comfort Duan Fang.

"You should audition first, Director Niu's requirements are a bit high, don't be nervous, just follow your own ideas."

Song Yi sighed in her heart, sat aside, and began to think about whether there were any better movie scripts recently.

Duanfang carefully read the script of this scene, then took off his coat and put it on a chair beside him.

Niu Gai, the screenwriter and others all sat firmly on the armchairs, watching the boy's performance with leisure.

Duanfang unbuttoned the top two buttons of his collar without saying a word, and took two casual steps. When he raised his head indifferently, everyone felt that he seemed to be a different person.

That is Zhou Zhili, an ordinary high school boy who looks innocent and harmless, but also a smart and ruthless murderer.

This was Zhou Zhili's first time killing people. He had no expression on his face. He looked at the living people struggling on the ground, but his eyes were as cold as looking at a corpse.

As if he heard the man's cry for help, he tilted his ears and raised the corners of his mouth, showing a sarcastic expression.

"save you?"

Zhou Zhili smiled, and the muscles on his face formed a smirk, which made his clean appearance look very inconsistent.

"Why should I save you?" He kicked his right foot and looked down at the dying man, as if the pained expression on his face could make him feel happy.

The people under their feet gradually became weaker.

Zhou Zhili squatted down, his pupils shrunk slightly, and his expression looked particularly terrifying, but there was a satisfied smile on his face, that smile was real, seeing the scene of the people under his feet going to death almost made him feel sick. He laughed happily.

He was having fun, the satisfaction of having killed a man.

"Are you scared?" His tone was full of malice.

"It's useless, so what if you're afraid, you people should die."

He squatted beside the man, watched his breathing become weaker and weaker, and finally picked up the knife beside him.

I saw Zhou Zhili opened his eyes wide, like a demon, slashing at the man at his feet with a knife.And the script that he rolled up as a knife also made a sound on the ground.

Bang, the sound wasn't too loud, but it was enough to wake up the few people sitting and watching on the other side.

Song Yi had long forgotten the alternative scripts in her mind, and stared at Duan Fang's face without blinking, both surprised and proud.

Niu Gai, on the other hand, clenched the pen tightly, watching the boy's performance with bright eyes, more excited than picking up gold on the road.

He was very satisfied, but did not stop.Duanfang acted out Zhou Zhili's mentality when he killed someone, and showed the part of him that killed without guilt or even felt happy. This surprised him, but it also gave him new expectations.

Since this young man can act out Zhou Zhili's appearance after killing someone, can he understand Zhou Zhili's process from being a murderer back to being a good student?

Everyone thinks that the state of a good student is the best to act, and the state of a murderer is the most difficult to act, but in Niu Gai's eyes, a murderer continues to pretend to be a good student after killing someone, and this change of returning to normal campus life is well-known. Li is the essence of this character.

If this change is not performed well, then Zhou Zhili's character setting will become thin, and he will become a person who prefers or favors the bad; The role of the villain adds a lot of charm.

The director didn't yell to stop, so everyone had to endure their emotions and keep quiet so that Duan Fang could continue the performance.

The people on the ground seem to have finally died.Zhou Zhili wiped the sweat from his forehead, and slowly put away the smile on his face, until there was no more weird smile in the corner of his eyes.

At this time, he took out his mobile phone and received a call. Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, a shy smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Ah Cheng, I'm recovering from my cold soon, so don't pay attention to me, I'm resting at home, and I can go back to school tomorrow."

While talking with his classmates, he shook his weak right hand and slowly buttoned up his collar again.

He was chatting with his classmates like an ordinary high school student, with a clean and innocent look on his face, as if those killing scenes just now were just people's illusions.

Only when he inadvertently saw the ground, people could get a glimpse of the murderer's breath from the comfortable eyes.
