Euthanasia

Jon finally got a new list after the precious 10 minutes, during which he searched Liu Zhiwei's college experience by himself.In the beginning, Liu Zhiwei was not from the Department of Acting, but from the Department of Directing. He had many unpublished small filming works, and his grades were all excellent in school.After Roger sent the new list to his mailbox, Jon quickly found related videos on the Internet.A few videos have been deleted outright, but that's no problem for Jon.

He fiddled with the computer for a few minutes, then hacked into the account of the up master that had not been used for a long time, and exported the deleted video from the record.

There are a total of eleven videos released by Liu Zhiwei before graduation, ten of which are very short, only 3 minutes, and one is 10 minutes.

When Lu Yi saw it, he asked, "Why 3 minutes?"

"The total length of a roll of 16mm Kodak 7266 film is 100 feet, and it takes about 3 minutes to play at normal speed." Jon said quickly while typing on the keyboard.

Lu Yi looked at Jon in disbelief: "...have you ever made a movie?"

"I'm interested in movies, you know," Jon said, "otherwise why would you marry Zeo to me."

Lu Yi: "..."

Jon started playing the 3-minute clips in turn.Some are inventive monster movies, some are editing exercises, and some are more like music videos.Some of them have Liu Zhiwei appearing on the screen, and some don’t, but Jon can feel that Liu Zhiwei’s eyes are talking to the people behind the camera through the lens.The person behind the camera must be the person Liu Zhiwei loved in the first film.

All the "Liu Zhiwei" were smiling until the last film began to be screened.

The last movie started, and Liu Zhiwei's face, which was fragmented like the first movie, appeared on the screen again.But there was no smile on that face.He sat in a cramped room with no natural light, only overhead lights.The image of his face appears for ten seconds before he reaches out and places a piece of paper over the lens.

—The title appeared.

dead.

Jon's heart constricted suddenly.

He slammed the pause button, looking at the time interval between this movie and the last one almost in horror.This is Liu Zhiwei's graduation work, and the last one is a whole year away from this one.

Jon was covered in cold sweat, and Liu Zhiwei's fragmented expressionless face kept circling in his mind.At that moment, Jon remembered the familiar feeling that he hadn't thought of for a long time.

—Lonely, boundless loneliness.The emptiness and despair that devours everything.

Seeing Jon panting heavily, Lu Yi subconsciously asked, "Are you okay?"

Jon covered his mouth, his neck was full of protruding tendons, he grabbed Lu Yi and said, "Take me to the bathroom...I want to vomit..."

Before the second group came out, Liu Zhiwei first received a message on his cell phone.The sender is Zhang Chengqian. The actors of "Personality Game" have contact information with each other. The information form was distributed by the original director, but Liu Zhiwei has never received any news or phone calls from Zhang Chengqian. This is the first time he received the information. He was a little surprised .

Zhang Chengqian:

Brawl.

Liu Zhiwei: "...????"

Zeng Yilai said at this time: "There are so many people, and they all went in at once. If you audition alone, maybe there is not enough time?"

Liu Zhiwei gave a subconscious "hmm".Then he suddenly realized—could Zhang Chengqian mean...all the audition personnel performing together? !

He couldn't figure it out, the door of the audition hall opened again, and the staff shouted: "The third group!"

Zeng Yilai patted Liu Zhiwei and said, "Let's go!"

He originally wanted to pat Liu Zhiwei on the shoulder, but Liu Zhiwei was taller than him, so he patted Liu Zhiwei on the back instead, sending Liu Zhiwei ahead of him.

Liu Zhiwei quickly followed the big team and walked into the green screen audition hall.

There were a lot of staff in the audition hall, Liu Zhiwei didn't see Li Qiang at a glance, Zeng Yilai pushed him, and he saw Li Qiang standing in the projection room above, looking down from above.

The cameras and lights below are already in place. There are a total of more than a dozen cameras in the air and on the track below. The equipment can be said to be very high-end.

As soon as the door closed behind him, Liu Zhiwei heard the staff say: "People from the martial arts team come here!"

Liu Zhiwei froze for a moment, and hurried forward.Zeng Yilai looked at Liu Zhiwei walking towards the other end with some surprise, remembering what he said earlier, "It's okay for me", and couldn't help but "excuse me": "There are two brushes."

"Come here from the lyrical team!" Zeng Yilai lost another group of people around him.

After Liu Zhiwei arrived in the martial arts group, he looked around the group.There are many people in the martial arts group, some of whom Liu Zhiwei knows, and some Liu Zhiwei does not know.The actor who had previously complained that he couldn't punch was among them.Everyone is a competitor, looked at each other, smiled, and had nothing to say.

Liu Zhiwei turned his head to look at Zeng Yilai who was still in the field, only to hear the staff shout: "Other people are free to perform!"

Liu Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, only to see Zeng Yilai helplessly looking at Liu Zhiwei, raised the note in his hand to Liu Zhiwei, and lip-synced: "Other personnel."

Liu Zhiwei almost laughed out loud.

The other members of the martial arts group thought they had been assigned to the most difficult group, but when they heard that there was another group with free performances, they immediately began to rejoice.At least they know what they want to do. They perform freely, not to mention aimless. Everyone may use their strengths to highlight themselves. How can they know who to look at in the chaos?

Standing at the highest point, Li Qiang said to the bottom with a loudspeaker: "The show lasts 10 minutes. I said it will start as soon as it starts. All the props are on the side. Take it for yourself. We will start shooting when we are ready!"

This capricious rule is simply unprecedented. Hearing this, a group of actors immediately rushed to the weapons like the aunts in the mall grabbing specials.

Shen Feixue is an assassin, of course he has weapons on his body, in order to better express this person, of course the more equipment the better.

The weapons and props were closer to the martial arts group, and Liu Zhiwei quickly took a sword with his sharp eyes and hands. As soon as he made a move, the people next to him reacted immediately and rushed to grab it.

After the looting scene lasted for 3 minutes, Li Qiang knocked on the railing with the microphone rolled up in the script, and shouted: "The time is up, go back quickly!"

Actors who did not grab can only give up and return to their original positions.

Holding the unedged sword, Liu Zhiwei stood a little far away from the crowd, fearing that he would hit others when he danced.Seeing him standing like this, the actor who couldn't punch quickly moved away, and even raised his eyebrows at Liu Zhiwei.

——Joke, how can you make a newcomer catch the eye and show off.

This man can't punch, but he also grabbed a weapon, a knife.The knife was quite big and thick, and the opponent was an idol-type actor who belonged to the flowery male type. He had no problem lifting the knife, and he couldn't hold it for long.

Liu Zhiwei glanced at it and didn't speak.This is a third- and fourth-tier student named Huang Tiangao. He is famous for participating in variety shows, just singing and dancing. He doesn't have any works, but he looks good and has a sense of variety, so fans like to hold it.

He and Liu Zhiwei didn't follow the same path, Liu Zhiwei didn't care.

Seeing that everyone was in their positions, Li Qiang blew his whistle like a referee, and shouted, "Get ready—start!"

"I'll go!" As soon as Huang Tiangao heard "Start", he originally planned to show the essence of martial arts in a very pretentious way, but he didn't expect that the people around him had already started to move.And each of them danced their weapons vigorously and majesticly.

Huang Tiangao was a little panicked, and quickly made a few gestures, but what he was familiar with in the TV dramas he often saw was stabbing with a sword, slashing with a knife - it's over.When such tricks appear in movies and TV shows, they are all shot with high-speed cameras. The trick can be stretched very long, and the sleeves and hair are flying, which is very postured.But in reality, it only takes a moment, and once the knife is cut out and the head is chopped off, it is over.Huang Tiangao slashed left and right out of thin air like chopping vegetables and melons, he was dumbfounded.

He looked back, and there were a few of them who could tell at a glance that their skills were very good. At least they imitated the people around them and danced two knife flowers. Huang Tiangao quickly followed suit, but the knife flower did not come out. It fell to the ground.

Huang Tiangao's rhythm was completely disrupted. He swept them one by one, only to see those who stood there like him and didn't move much. Besides him, there was also the one who stood up to steal the limelight. It seemed to be Liu Zhiwei, whose name was similar to It looks like the sweeper next door.It seems that there is nothing...

Huang Tiangao hadn't had time to be happy when he saw Liu Zhiwei who had his eyes closed and calmed down suddenly opened his eyes.With a horse step, Jian Guang shot out in an instant, and Liu Zhiwei, who had been motionless before, flew up like a championship champion in a moment...

"...Damn it." Huang Tiangao's jaw dropped.

Dazzling sword lights almost enveloped Liu Zhiwei. There seemed to be many tricks, but each sword thrust was extremely simple, without sloppiness.However, when he drew the sword, his movements were somewhat sluggish. After a wave of thunderous attacks, his footsteps swayed, his eyes seemed clear and chaotic, sharp as thunder when he attacked, and as dazed as a child when he hesitated.Huang Tiangao stammered and asked, "You, what's wrong with you..."

Liu Zhiwei's eyeballs moved towards Huang Tiangao's direction, as if he had found the target to attack, his feet staggered chaotically, and his body leaned back, but a sword directly hit Huang Tiangao's throat!

Huang Tiangao didn't have time to back up, with a "clang", the knife he picked up just now fell to the ground again.

Liu Zhiwei blinked vigorously and shook his head, as if trying to clear his brain.He wobbled back two steps, looked at the sky, then took two steps forward, sat down, leaned against Huang Tiangao with his sword and fell asleep.

Huang Tiangao was covered in cold sweat, his heart was still pounding in his chest, he didn't dare to move, looked at Liu Zhiwei who was leaning against him below, stood still for a long time before he suddenly realized, he jumped and said: "Hey You——!" As soon as he yelled, Liu Zhiwei didn't fall down because of his departure, but stood up instead, only to hear Li Qiang shout from above through the loudspeaker: "Ka! Kaka! It's time!"

Liu Zhiwei turned his face from looking at Li Qiang to Huang Tiangao, smiled gently and politely at him, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry."

Huang Tiangao's face was flushed with suffocation: "..." No, I'm so angry, my stomach is about to explode!He thought that everyone was here to pretend, but in the end he was the only one who was pretending, and everyone else was really awesome!

Jon returned to the hospital bed from the bathroom, looking at the screen with a gloomy face.Lu Yi kept frowning.He kind of regrets letting Jon watch these movies, Jon has been out of that state for a long time, and now his eyes are the same as when he was at his worst.

Jon stared quietly at the still title, only to hear Lu Yi say, "Don't watch it."

Jon didn't speak.After a long time, he pressed the play button again.
