Burning Heart[ABO]

shooting range.

Ye Huaining raised his gun calmly, and fired three bursts of bang bang bang, the gun hit the bull's-eye.The recoil made the tiger's jaw ache slightly, but it was not serious, and he was used to it.

One afternoon every week, he would come to the shooting range of this private club to play guns. After practicing with the coach for a period of time, his marksmanship improved by leaps and bounds. This is the most enjoyable way for him to vent his energy now.

Putting down the gun, Ye Huaining turned his wrist, the assistant got a call, reminding him that there will be an audition in a while, and the club will pick him up in half an hour.

Ye Huaining thought about it, and it seems that there is indeed such a thing. A film that Sheng Xing participated in the casting of will have an audition meeting today. The producer has a good relationship with him. He promised before that he would go to the audition in person.

"Okay, I see, I'm going to take a shower, about half an hour."

Ji Rao's nanny car was stuck in the road waiting for the traffic light, Xiao Zhang glanced at his watch and reminded him nervously: "Brother Ji, you have to behave well in a while, this opportunity is rare."

The corners of Ji Rao's lips floated slightly, and he said with a smile: "You are too nervous, isn't it just an audition? Take it easy."

It took a lot of effort for Xiao Zhang to get in touch with this audition opportunity. The director is a big producer, and the lead actor is a first-line actor. The role that Ji Rao wants to audition for is the second fan. There are many roles, and it is a very interesting role. It's a real show. It will be of great benefit to his future development in the film industry.

Xiao Zhang lowered his voice: "This film also has Shengxing's investment, but they don't hold the largest stake and cannot make decisions. If you can satisfy Director Zheng, there is still a great chance."

Ji Rao shook his head slightly: "You think too much, Mr. Ye is not such a stingy person, Sheng Xing will not deliberately target me."

He knew what kind of person Ye Huaining was, and Ye Huaining didn't bother to embarrass him at all. After learning that Huayin finally signed Lin Chen, he knew that Ye Huaining didn't even bother to care about those things in the past. In Ye Huaining's eyes, he had already nothing.

There were a lot of people at the audition, and they ran into Xu Yinxing as soon as they went. This kid came to compete for the same role as Ji Rao, and Tang Min accompanied him.

Ji Rao went to say hello to Tang Min, who nodded indifferently.

Xu Yinxing asked him with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Ji, why haven't I heard that you also want this role?"

Indeed not, Xiao Zhang only helped him get an audition opportunity yesterday through clearing up the relationship, Ji Rao didn't bother to explain, and said casually: "This role is very good, I have no reason not to."

"Mr. Ji, you are very confident."

Ji Rao didn't care about the sarcasm in Xu Yinxing's tone, and asked him instead: "What about you? Have you acted before? Director Zheng's plays are not so easy to shoot."

Xu Yinxing smiled nonchalantly: "I also take acting classes when I have time. As for me, this is called rough jade. You can carve it however Director Zheng likes it. Maybe Director Zheng likes my style."

Ji Rao didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

When he turned to leave, Tang Min, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Boss Ye will be here today too, so don't trouble him for a while."

These words are not only to Xu Yinxing, but also to remind Ji Rao.

Xu Yinxing was obediently taught, Ji Rao was taken aback for a moment, his eyes fell on the entrance door, Ye Huaining was walking in quickly surrounded by assistant bodyguards wearing sunglasses.

When walking past them, Ye Huaining only nodded with Tang Min, and went straight into the audition room without stopping.

Ji Rao regained his senses, and no longer wanted to talk to others, so he found a seat and sat down, waiting quietly.

After entering the door, Ye Huaining smiled and greeted the director and producer for a while, and was invited to a seat.

The assistant whispered behind him: "Ji Rao was not on the previous list, he should be added temporarily."

Ye Huaining flipped through the profiles of several people casually, and said indifferently, "Let's take a look first."

There are four people competing for the same role, and the other two are also actors who can be named, and other people can watch from the sidelines during the audition.

The audition room was full of people, with Director Zheng smiling all over his face in the middle, and Ye Huaining sitting in the corner.Ji Rao saw him as soon as he entered, Ye Huaining raised his eyes from time to time, occasionally whispered to the people around him, his expression was very focused.

Ji Rao didn't watch other people's performance, his eyes kept falling on Ye Huaining, and he turned his attention back when Xu Yinxing came on stage.

The subject matter of this movie is the type that the director in front of him is best at, about the torture and redemption of human nature. The second character they are competing for is the son of the hero in the film.

In the early days, he was an innocent, sunny and cheerful college student. When a fire broke out at home, the male lead abandoned him to save his adopted son. He was disfigured by the fire and left disabled for life. His lover also left him. He became gloomy and negative. Cynical, and later learned that the reason why the male protagonist gave up saving his adopted son first was to repay the life-saving grace of the adopted son’s biological parents, so he was full of resentment towards the male protagonist, and tried every means to torture the male protagonist time and time again, even at the expense of killing him. The Lord's punishment, in the end, the hero saved the innocent people from him, and ended with his own death. Before the hero died, someone finally told him that he was not the hero's biological son, even the one who killed him back then. The son of the enemy of the hero's own son.

Xu Yinxing tried a total of three plays, and it was the first time for Ji Rao to watch this kid act. Unexpectedly, he acted very well, even emotionally more explosive than the previous two actors.

Although the acting skills are a little green, it is not the kind of scripted and template-style interpretation, and it is very easy to let go.Seeing Director Zheng's expression, Ji Rao guessed that he should be quite satisfied.

What about yourself?How do you act?

When it was Ji Rao's turn to play, he was still thinking about this question.

Until meeting Ye Huaining's eyes, Ye Huaining's eyes were calm and there was nothing superfluous, Ji Rao retracted his gaze, collected his mind and stopped thinking about it.

After introducing himself, he began to try out the first scene.

It is not difficult to play the lively college students in the early stage. Director Zheng temporarily acted as the male lead. Ji Rao sat down in front of Director Zheng carelessly, showing off to him with some embarrassment and pride: "Dad, I have a date. It's a girl." Very beautiful Omega, I just confessed my success today."

Director Zheng read the lines without any emotion: "Really? What kind of Omega?"

Ji Rao's eyes wandered, and he quickly passed over Ye Huaining, and he seemed to be reminiscing about something sweet in the eyes of others, and then he smiled and said: "In short, he is a very good person. When we are more stable, I will bring Show Dad."

Ye Huaining looked at it calmly. He didn't expect Ji Rao to come today. The person in front of him has already entered the play. After a while, he happily showed off the Omega he just caught with the male lead. He was full of hope for the future, full of vitality from the performance. Falling into extreme despair and gloomy depression again, with only pain and hatred in his red eyes, he hysterically vented his resentment of being abandoned to the hero.

Sitting in the wheelchair, Ji Rao's body swayed and fell forward, with his arms hanging on the table, gnashing his teeth in pain and unwillingness to ask the male protagonist: "Your life-saving grace is important, but mine is not? Why did you give birth to me?" , why did you give birth to me?"

He violently waved away the hand extended by the male lead. Under the slightly surprised eyes of everyone, he struggled to get up from the wheelchair. Behind him, his body curled up. After a long time, an extremely suppressed cry came from under the arm covering his face.

After the male protagonist reached out, he asked them to play freely. The previous three people, including Xu Yinxing, added lines to further show the anger and pain of the characters. Only Ji Rao first acted out the character struggling unwillingly trying to stand up, and covering up after failing. The completely ruined face cried with depression, conveying the extreme despair in this way.

Most of the people, including Director Zheng, showed expressions of approval, but Ye Huaining coldly rolled his eyes away.

Two 10 minutes later.

Ji Rao sat outside the audition and waited. Xiao Zhang bought him a cup of hot coffee, but he held it in his hand and didn't feel like drinking it.

The other roles are almost settled, only the most important part besides the male lead has not come to fruition, the others have already left, including Xu Yinxing, who still has a job, so he followed Tang Min and left first.

Before leaving, Xu Yinxing raised Ji Rao's chin and said, "I will definitely win you next time."

Ji Rao ignored him.

In the audition room, the final result was still not discussed.

Ye Huaining, who has never spoken before, expressed his opinion: "Ji Rao's part was well played, but first of all, his part was an imitation performance. There was a similar bridge in a Western film released a few years ago. Duan, he has seen it, and secondly, in his first audition, he did not show the naive side of the character in the early stage. There is sunshine and liveliness, but the naivety of looking at the world is the biggest contrast with the despair in the later stage. In this regard, I think Xu Yinxing's acting is good, and Xu Yinxing's emotional outbursts in the second and third scenes are also handled well. The shortcoming is his room for improvement. Of course, Xu Yinxing is an artist of our company. I said this The words may be biased, Director Zheng, you should think about it more."

Someone said disapprovingly: "Whoever acted did not imitate the performance at the beginning, it is already very rare for Ji Rao to be able to act to such an extent that all body language and emotions can be conveyed in place. At least compared to the others, he used his brain , did not follow the same routine."

Director Zheng frowned lightly, a little hesitant for a while.

When Ye Huaining left, he received a WeChat message from Xu Yinxing.

"Brother Ye, I didn't behave well today, I made you lose face."

Ye Huaining replied: "I think you did a good job. Director Zheng and the others haven't decided on the final candidate yet, so there is still hope."

"...Really? Because of Brother Ye, did you speak for me?"

"I'm telling the truth. If you really can't do it, it's useless for me to say more."

Ji Rao called Ye Huaining to stop in the parking lot.

"Can I have a chat?"

Ye Huaining leaned against the side of the car to light a cigarette, and his assistant and bodyguard got into the car first.

Ji Rao looked at him, and his throat rolled: "Xiao Zhang knows an assistant director, what you just said, do you really think my acting is not as good as Xu Yinxing?"

Ye Huaining flicked the cigarette ash, looked at him for the first time in a long time, and said calmly, "Do you think I'm targeting you?"

Ji Rao stared into his eyes: "No, I just want to hear it from you."

"The truth is, I'm not Director Zheng. He only decides who is suitable for the role and who fits the character's image better. As the management, I have more things to consider. You have so many negative news and your image is not good. If you shoot In the middle of the film or when something happened again, who should I get the money I invested in? Besides, Xu Yinxing belongs to Sheng Xing and has good resources, so of course I want to recommend someone from my own family."

Ye Huaining's tone was calm and calm, it was rare for him to stand here and chat nonsense with Ji Rao, but he just wanted to finish smoking the cigarette in his hand before getting in the car.

Ji Rao nodded: "I understand."

"Just now in the audition room, I saw that you had a little cough, did you have a cold? It's cold now, you need to wear more clothes."

"You don't like the smell of cigarettes, so you should smoke less." Ji Rao lowered his voice, persuading him with concern.

Ye Huaining felt bored for a while, no longer interested in standing here and being stared at smoking, opened the door and got in the car.

The car drove out quickly.

Watching Ye Huaining's car drive out of the parking lot, Ji Rao stood still for a while until the nanny's car came.

On the way back, Xiao Zhang sighed softly: "I think Brother Ji's acting is pretty good, why can't he..."

Ji Rao stared blankly at the street scene outside the window for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, Mr. Ye is right."

Xiao Zhang was taken aback: "What?"

"If I were him, I wouldn't spend money on a high-risk unqualified artist. With this kind of effort, of course it's worthwhile to praise my own people."

Xiao Zhang is still regretful: "But I think Xu Yinxing is not as good as Brother Ji."

Ji Rao didn't say anything more.

Closing his eyes, Ye Huaining's indifferent face behind the fireworks in the underground parking lot before came to mind again.

He finally saw Ye Huaining's eyes clearly, there was only impatience and disdain in them.

That was Ye Huaining's entire emotion when facing him now.

The assistant turned around and asked Ye Huaining in the back seat: "Is Ye always going home or going to the company?"

Ye Huaining was a little tired, and leaned back in the seat: "Go home."

The assistant hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "If Director Zheng and the others finally decide on Ji Rao, will we withdraw the capital here?"

Ye Huaining said lightly: "No need, Sheng Xing invested in this film for Director Zheng and the main male lead. It doesn't make sense to change his original intention for his second role and ruin his reputation. If he can fight for it, use his own people to fight for it." That's it."

The assistant replied: "I understand."
