Accidental Mark

【Accidental Mark · Chapter 61】

In the afternoon of the next day, Cheng Xia followed her agent Zhou Yan to the audition site.

This time the audition was arranged in the meeting room on the third floor of the Rongcheng Hotel. The scene was crowded with people, including several familiar faces who were recently popular traffic stars.Zhou Yan was a little nervous, she took Cheng Xia to the registration office to sign in and get a number plate, and then found a lounge to sit down.

Zhou Yan just wanted to tell Cheng Xia not to be nervous for a while. Suddenly, a tall Alpha pushed the door in. Zhou Yan's eyes widened, thinking that he had misidentified the person: "Pei...Pei Boss? Why are you here!"

Pei Shaoze said indifferently: "I just happened to be in this hotel today to discuss something, so I stopped by to see the situation." He cast his eyes on Cheng Xia, and said in a gentle voice, "How are your preparations going?"

Cheng Xia smiled and scratched her head: "It's not bad."

Pei Shaoze said: "I asked someone to investigate, and there are a few Alpha actors who came to audition today that are relatively popular. The first one is Liu Yufei, who has acted in criminal investigation dramas, but he is not good at crying scenes. There is no advantage in playing the role of Xu Ziyang. "

"The second Zhang Chen, who has tens of millions of fans, probably wanted to use this show as a springboard because he wanted to change from an idol group to a power group. He was also talking about a big-budget drama in ancient costumes, so ,He will not devote 100% of his heart and devotion to this criminal investigation web drama."

"The third one is Liu Zhaoxuan, an actor who has worked with Director Zhu. He is a tough guy. He has participated in gun battles and police and gangster online movies many times. His acting skills are also good, but he is almost 30 years old and lacks some rigidity. The sunshine of graduate students..."

Zhou Yan was stunned when he heard it!

Mr. Pei's channels and connections are obviously much stronger than that of her little manager, and his homework is too comprehensive. I don't know where to find out so many gossips, and he has a clear picture of Cheng Xia's opponents.

Cheng Xia was also taken aback when he heard it. He didn't expect that Mr. Pei would go to investigate the opponent who threatened him...

After Pei Shaoze finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Xia again, and said gently, "Your opponents today are very strong. So, no matter whether you win or lose, if you perform the Xu Ziyang in your mind and leave a deep impression on the director, you will be considered a success. "

Cheng Xia nodded: "I understand, thank you Mr. Pei..."

Originally, he wanted to call him "Brother Pei", but when he realized that the manager was present, Cheng Xia hurriedly changed his words, almost biting his tongue.

Pei Shaoze heard his slip of the tongue, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and handed Cheng Xia a bottle of mineral water: "Sit down and drink some water, clear your mind, don't think about anything, from now on you are Xu Ziyang."

Cheng Xia took the mineral water and sat in the corner, Pei Shaoze gestured "Don't disturb him" to Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan simply went out and waited for the number to be called, leaving room for Pei Shaoze and Cheng Xia.

After she left, Pei Shaoze sat next to Cheng Xia and gently rubbed Cheng Xia's head: "Are you nervous?"

Cheng Xia smiled and shook her head: "With you here, I'm not nervous at all."

Just now at the audition scene, Cheng Xia passed by a few popular celebrities, and Cheng Xia was really worried, always feeling that his qualifications were too low to compare with these famous actors.But now, Pei Shaoze has analyzed his opponents one by one—knowing himself and the enemy, he is not nervous anymore.

Compared with those famous actors, he doesn't have the burden of being an idol, so he can let go of acting.And no one would say anything about being eliminated from such a small transparent audition. Those actors with tens of millions of fans who were rejected from auditions must feel much more uncomfortable than him.

So, what is he afraid of?

Pei Shaoze gently held Cheng Xia's hand and said, "Don't worry, Director Zhu is a very principled director. No matter how popular the other actors are, as long as your performance today is good enough to impress him, even if you are selected this time No, you will have a chance to fight for his plays in the future."

Cheng Xia's hand was completely wrapped in the palm of Alpha, and the warm feeling was transmitted along the skin to the heart.At such a critical moment, it was different to be accompanied by a boyfriend. He suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength.

At this moment, Zhou Yan knocked on the door and came in: "Cheng Xia, it's already number 76, and it will be your turn soon, so prepare first."

The hands that were held by the two quickly separated.

Cheng Xia got up and followed Zhou Yan, and when he reached the door, he looked back at Pei Shaoze.

Pei Shaoze nodded to him, and encouraged him: "Go." He wanted to go over to see the situation, but he was afraid that his presence would affect Cheng Xia's performance, so Pei Shaoze changed his mind and said, "I'll wait for you here, and we'll have a meal together after the audition." meal."

Cheng Xia smiled brightly: "Yes!"

Pei Shaoze told Zhou Yan: "Zhou Yan, you also go and see, and say hello to Director Zhu."

***

At this point, the audition scene.

An Alpha actor shook the air vigorously with his hands, pretending that there was a dead person here, and cried bitterly while shaking: "Second Uncle, Second Uncle!"

Director Zhu interrupted him with a sullen face: "Okay, thank you for participating in this audition."

The young actor froze for a moment, blushed and bowed to Director Zhu, turned around and hurried out, probably feeling that he hadn't acted well.

Next to him, the screenwriter wearing glasses couldn't help cursing: "Fuck, this is a fucking criminal investigation drama. He went in and destroyed the scene as a policeman, shaking the dead body indiscriminately. Has his professionalism been eaten by dogs? What is it?" Anyone can come to audition?"

The assistant director said helplessly: "The crying scene is also very fake. I wiped my eyes for a long time, but the corners of my eyes are not red."

Director Zhu left only one comment: "It's too exaggerated."

After watching the messy performance all day, Director Zhu's face was already a little ugly.

The assistant director leaned over and asked, "Old Zhu, what do you think of that Liu Yufei from before?"

Zhu Zheng frowned: "His performance was more than intense, and the details were too poor."

The screenwriter said: "I feel like Zhang Chen is here to test the waters. He didn't prepare very seriously, and he's not very familiar with the script. Or, why don't you consider Liu Zhaoxuan? He has worked with us before, and his acting skills are passable."

Zhu Zheng turned the ballpoint pen in his hand, and said calmly: "Liu Zhaoxuan's acting skills are good, but his appearance is too tough. There is no problem playing the experienced captain of the criminal police. Playing this kind of fresh graduate intern criminal policeman, his temperament is still good." It's a bit worse...Let's take a look again."

The assistant director said, "The next one is number 77."

There was a knock on the door outside.

A neat woman with a ponytail came in with a boy, she came to Director Zhu, and said politely: "Hello, Director Zhu, I am Tianxuan's manager, and this is the contract manager of our Tianxuan Entertainment." Artist, Cheng Xia."

She handed Cheng Xia's information to the director with both hands, then took two steps back, and asked with a smile: "Although Cheng Xia is a newcomer, he has carefully prepared for this audition. What are the shortcomings of his performance later? I also ask all the teachers to criticize and correct me, so that I can let him learn more when I go back."

The agent's attitude is very humble, and the first impression is not bad.

The assistant director leaned into Zhu Zheng's ear and said softly: "This Cheng Xia, Mr. Pei greeted me this morning and said that Shu Yue had withdrawn from the circle. He was sorry for causing trouble to our crew, so he asked Tianxuan to send another Newcomers come to audition. Cheng Xia has just finished filming a school drama "Folding Paper", which will be released in summer. That is to say, before our film is released, Cheng Xia is at least not a little transparent with no work."

Director Zhu nodded his head to express his understanding, and then began to look through the materials handed over by his agent.

There are too many actors auditioning, it is impossible for him to memorize everyone's information in advance, and most of them will watch it after arriving at the scene.Turning to the first page, he saw "Omega male" written on Cheng Xia's gender, and Zhu Zheng looked up at Cheng Xia: "Are you here to audition for the role of Lynch?"

Lynch, the Omega forensic doctor in the play, is gentle, calm and wise, and finally solves the case because of the many subtle clues he discovered.Regardless of age or image, Cheng Xia is too far behind the "Professor Lin", isn't he? Shu Yue's resignation has already caused a lot of damage to the crew. Boss Pei actually called such a newcomer to audition, he is just perfunctory them Crew?

Zhu Zheng frowned unhappily.

Cheng Xia stepped forward and replied politely: "Director Zhu, I'm here to audition for Xu Ziyang."

Everyone: "..."

The scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Zhu Zheng thought he was hallucinating, so he was silent for a few seconds before confirming: "You are an Omega, come to audition for Xu Ziyang, a criminal policeman?"

Cheng Xia said seriously: "Yes. I think actors should try different roles a lot in order to continuously improve their acting skills and make breakthroughs. I like Xu Ziyang's character design very much, and I will work hard to express his character and character. Psychologically, I hope that Director Zhu can give me this opportunity, let me try it out, and ask Director Zhu to correct me if I don’t perform well.”

After he finished speaking, he bowed politely to the director's seat.

Zhu Zheng found that the boy in front of him was quite interesting, an Omega actually came to try out such a difficult role as an Alpha detective.There are also actors in the circle who like to reverse roles. There was an Alpha with a more monstrous personality who reversed Omega and attracted a lot of fans. He doesn’t mind the actor’s identity or even gender, as long as he can play the role he wants, he is a good actor.

What's more, Cheng Xia's sunny and handsome appearance, with clear and bright eyes, fits the temperament of a fresh graduate like Xu Ziyang.

Zhu Zheng nodded: "Okay, let's start. Play the seventh act."

The seventh act is the scene where Xu Ziyang returns home from a party and finds that his uncle's family of four has died tragically at home.

Cheng Xia took a deep breath, closed her eyes to adjust her emotions, and then retreated to the position at the door to start performing.

He first made a gesture of "take the key to open the door". After opening the door, while changing slippers at the entrance, he shouted into the room: "Second Uncle, I'm back!" This detail is better than those actors who rushed directly into the door too much.Zhu Zheng sat up straight and looked at Cheng Xia seriously.

Cheng Xia looked around, seeming a little puzzled as to why no one responded at noon.He leaned over and put the changed shoes into the shoe cabinet next to him—there were no props at the scene, but his movements allowed people to see what he was doing at a glance.

After putting away the shoes, Cheng Xia entered the room wearing slippers, and soon realized something was wrong——

A strong smell of blood came to my face!Cheng Xia sniffed, frowned slightly, immediately quickened her pace, and ran to the door of the bedroom in two or three steps.

The bloody scene in the house made his pupils constrict suddenly, Cheng Xia stared at the bloody corpse on the bed in disbelief, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his voice began to tremble: "Second Uncle, Second Aunt!"

He wanted to go in to check the situation inside the house, but after taking a step forward, he seemed to realize that this was the scene of a murder. As a police academy graduate, he now has no gloves, foot covers, or any testing equipment. Breaking in rashly may destroy the evidence at the scene!

He immediately retracted his outstretched feet, and turned his head to look at the two bedrooms opposite.

The bedroom doors were all open, and the cousin's sheets were already stained red with blood, and his death was tragic.Looking into the next bedroom, the cousin was lying in a pool of blood, and a long bloodstain was dragged out on the ground. It was obvious that she was struggling to crawl out, but was brutally cut in half by the murderer.

Cheng Xia expressed Xu Ziyang's horror when he discovered the tragic death of his relatives through the ups and downs, left and right movements and changes in his eyes.

"Xiao Mo, Xiao Yun?"

"What the hell happened, didn't you eat well last night!!"

Cheng Xia suddenly roared, he stretched out his fist and beat his head hard, thinking that he was hallucinating.However, after a while, he opened his eyes, closed them, and opened them again—there was still blood all around him, and all the people closest to him in this world fell into a pool of blood!

Cheng Xia was about to burst into tears, and accepted the fact with difficulty. He was short of breath, his eyes turned red instantly, he gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and slowly exited the scene of the crime.Then squatting at the door, the whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The teenager's tears kept falling down like a faucet that was turned on. The tears covered his face in a blink of an eye, and he didn't bother to wipe them. The tears flowed down his cheeks and into his neck, soon wetting him. collar.

He seemed to come to his senses, wiped his face in embarrassment, took out the mobile phone from his pocket, his fingers were trembling and he could hardly hold it, then he clicked on the address book and dialed a number: "Team, captain, I am Xu Ziyang, Dongfu Jiayuan Community, No. 17 Renmin Road, Binjiang District, Building 7, Unit 1, Room 301, a murder occurred, I was at the scene, please call the police as soon as possible..."

"...there were four people who died, a 45-year-old middle-aged couple with a son and a daughter. The whole family was wiped out..."

The boy's voice was trembling and choking all the time, but he clearly explained the address and the situation at the scene.

After repeatedly confirming the address with the captain, he hung up the phone, hugged his head and began to cry bitterly. The depressive cry was like the whine of a wounded beast. It was obviously not yelling, but it made people really feel it. To his pain, despair and anger.

Director Zhu stared intently at the boy squatting there crying. He held the ballpoint pen slightly with his fingertips, almost breaking the pen.

I don't know how long it took before Cheng Xia stopped crying and stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears indiscriminately.

His colleagues in the police force are coming soon, he can't lose face in front of everyone, he has to work with his colleagues to catch this perverted murderer, and seek justice for the tragic death of his uncle's family!

There was a trace of firmness in the boy's red eyes from crying. He quickly wiped away the tears, took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, turned around and opened the door, and said as calmly as possible: "Captain Liu, this is the scene of the murder."
