Mad Dog - Chapter 20

     But Jiang Qi’s audition this time was not very smooth.

    Wang Zhaoqiu should have said hello to Qu Heng in advance. After Shen Lei and Jiang Qi arrived at the audition site of “Pride Si”, it was Qu Heng’s assistant Huang Haofan who came out to pick them up.

    Qu Heng is the director from Hong Kong, and so is the assistant. Before he came over, he smiled and said, “Shen sir.”

    …Shen Lei should have replied ‘Huang sir’, but he always felt a little awkward to say so, so he just said: “Assistant Huang.”

    “Director Qu is waiting inside.” Huang Haofan greeted Shen Lei first, and then looked Jiang Qi up and down. During this period of time, who hasn’t heard of Jiang Qi’s famous name? Who isn’t curious? Huang Haofan was no exception. His eyes were full of interest and he smiled slightly: “I’ll take you there.”

    The three went to the audition field together.

    Qu Heng is a middle-aged man in his late forties, unmarried, tall and thin, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his angular face, even in the noisy studio as if he was enough to attend What a dinner party suit.

    Most of the men in Hong Kong are very good at maintenance, Qu Heng looks like he is in his early thirties, and the whole person has a delicate, strict and meticulous feeling.

    When he saw Shen Lei, he stood up and shook hands to say hello, but just nodded to Jiang Qi.

    In the entertainment industry, seniors and seniors and ‘subordinates’ are distinct existences. Qu Heng clearly understands the way. In front of the juniors, his momentum is full.

    In the industry, Shen Lei and Qu Heng’s status are actually similar, Qu Heng has more awards, but Shen Lei’s box office is tougher.

    But in comparison, Shen Lei is much more easy-going.

    “Old Shen.” Qu Heng’s slender fingers gently pushed the temples, and the long and narrow eyes behind the lenses glanced at Jiang Qi and smiled slightly: “This is the little kid you dug up. ?”

    “Yes.” Shen Lei also smiled and patted Jiang Qi’s shoulder. He did not shy away from saying the most frequently discussed word in the industry recently: “Ziwei Xing.”

    “Director Wang didn’t say that, he just recommended you as a kid.” Qu Heng was very polite inside and out, but he didn’t agree with Shen Lei’s praise.

    He turned to look at Jiang Qi and asked gently, “Little boy, do you like the role of Chen Si?”

    Jiang Qi didn’t mind Chen Si calling him a ‘little boy’, and shook his head: “I don’t like it.”

    Qu Heng was stunned.

    Jiang Qi has not yet adapted to the way of flattering you and me in the entertainment industry for a moment. His words are actually choking.

    But sometimes, people in the circle who are used to seeing them think this kind of ‘pure and unpretentious’ is very interesting, Qu Heng raised his eyebrows: “I don’t like it, why are you willing to audition?”

    This time Jiang Qi answered confidently: “Because I can act.”

    Sometimes when you audition for a role, it is not about whether you like it or not, but whether you can perform it.

    Interesting, fun.

    Qu Heng couldn’t help laughing, he reached out and motioned for Huang Haofan to come over and hand Jiang Qi the script.

    Shen Lei on the side heaved a sigh of relief—this is what it means to audition.

    Just today’s audition…

    Jiang Qi looked at it, and Qing Jun’s brows frowned slightly.

    Actually, the audition was not difficult. In the movie, Chen Si still didn’t like to play with boys after he went to middle school.

    The girls felt awkward at first, but they felt fresh in the end.

    It was at this time that Chen Si met the ‘female’ Meng Li in the movie. She had no emotional connection with the male protagonist. She was also an ‘abnormal’ among ordinary people. As bold as Chen Si, he declared it.

    In the movie, Meng Li is more like the other side of Chen Si.

    She just knew that Chen Si was different, and she began to immerse herself in ‘dressing up’ for him.

    Girl’s clothes, girl’s cosmetics, Chen Si is in it in the gentle fragrance, he is lying on Meng Li’s lace bed, bathing in the sun, stroking himself, completely immersed in his own imagination’ Gentle Township’.

    Afterwards, it is necessary to show the girl’s smile and naivety, even ignorant of the world.

    This is the part of the audition.

    Others are fine, just…

    As we all know, Jiang Qi can’t laugh.

    Even before #jiangqi never laughed# was also on the hot search and was discussed with great enthusiasm.

    Shen Lei briefly recalled that he had known Jiang Qi for almost two years, and he had never seen this young man smile.

    Thinking about it, I can’t help but feel a little worried.

    Shen Lei frowned and watched Jiang Qi walk to the camera after reading the script.

    The audition has always been a one-man show when other actors have no time to follow along, and it shows great acting skills.

    Jiang Qi has no professional training, but is a complete ‘genius’ actor. When he stands in front of the camera, he naturally seems to be Chen Si.

    The quirks of silence at school required in the script, the involuntary tenderness and ambiguousness between the frowns and smiles, just like a shy girl.

    In the end, Jiang Qi played a one-man show in front of the mirror for a long time, and finally lay on the bed.

    Shen Lei’s heart ‘squeaked’, and then the play was played, and his slender hands subconsciously clenched into fists.

    Sure enough, what he was most worried about happened.

    Jiang Qishang, the girl’s demeanor before, can be deduced. His own mysterious and blurred temperament makes it easy for people to fall into the play, but in the end, let him laugh sincerely and feel happy to satisfy…

    It was difficult, Shen Lei could see that the smile on Jiang Qi’s face was forced and stiff.

    At this moment, Qu Heng, who was behind the camera, shouted ‘card’.

    “It’s wonderful.” Qu Hengsiwen’s face was full of smiles, and he looked at Jiang Qi in surprise: “The little boy really has two strokes, is the last part a bit of a drama?”

    Shen Lei listened to Qu Heng’s words with a stiff face, because he knew clearly in his heart that Jiang Qi was not acting, he was… He might not be able to laugh.

    But why wouldn’t anyone laugh? Is it psychological or something else?

     Jiang Qi’s face was also ugly, he shook his head at Qu Heng.

    “I’m sorry.” The boy said, “I may not act well.”

    “Who said that!” And Qu Heng seemed to be more confident than he himself, smiled and shook his head: “You acted very well, the last part is just a little bit out of play.”

    He is still blindly optimistic.

    “But the last paragraph is the big problem.” Jiang Qi still shook his head, and there was an unknown sense of frustration with himself: “Director, I can’t feel happy, satisfied, and naturally laugh like the protagonist. come out.”

    The smile on Qu Heng’s face gradually stiffened, and then he frowned: “That’s how you judge yourself?”

    The first time he saw an actor come to audition, he was praised by the director, but he was at a loss as if he had been rejected.

    This legendary ‘Purple MSI’ is really a **** strange person.

    What’s even more bizarre is that Jiang Qi nodded after listening to what he said, but turned around and was about to leave.

     Before Qu Heng could react, Shen Lei stopped him.

    “Why do you want to be a refusal director stamp collector?” Shen Lei held Jiang Qi and whispered, “Do you still want to get involved?”

    If Jiang Qi couldn’t act before, that’s fine – but Jiang Qigang said half an hour ago that he wanted to sign a company, which means that he wants to stay in this entertainment industry, and if he wants to stay, how can he Always so capricious?

    Wang Zhaoqiu, Qu Heng… These directors who speak out can shock a group of people in the circle, does he want to offend him?

    Shen Lei felt his scalp tingle just thinking about it.

    Sometimes, if the extreme talent has a reckless soul, it is really a double-edged sword.

    Qu Heng didn’t hear what Shen Lei and Jiang Qi said, he just took advantage of Jiang Qi to leave, hurriedly came over and said: “Why don’t you try again, I really think you are very good. There’s a talent for that role.”

    In a capital society, some roles can be replaced by things like ‘money’ and ‘fame’.

    But in the face of extreme ‘suitability’, Qu Heng found that he still wanted to pursue perfection, and he wanted the boy in front of him.

    Jiang Qi came to play Chen Si, and he could almost foresee how successful the film would be after it was filmed and released.

    “Director Qu, it’s noon.” Shen Lei was afraid that Jiang Qi would directly reject Qu Heng’s suggestion, so he simply spoke on his behalf: “Why don’t you take a break and let Jiang Qi try again in the afternoon? “

    .

    Pity him, a famous director, who is now doing what can be called an agent.

    It’s time to find a really suitable agent for Jiang Qi.

    “Also.” Qu Heng glanced at his watch and nodded: “Then it’s half past one.”

    After finishing speaking, Qu Heng dismissed the staff on the set and let everyone go to dinner.

    Jiang Qi didn’t want to refute Shen Lei’s face, and kept holding back until everyone left before frowning and saying, “I really can’t act.”

    “Just try again, let’s see if it works or not.” Shen Lei insisted on saying this, and then sent Jiang Qi to the restaurant upstairs on the set to eat.

    He called Qiu Mi over, leaned over and whispered a few words, but the latter’s expression became more and more surprised, and his mouth opened unconsciously.

    “Well, go do this, be sure to bring someone before 1:30.” After Shen Lei finished speaking, he smiled at him, but there was a faint threat in the whirlpool of his lips. Meaning: “Do you understand?”

    Qiu Mi shuddered unconsciously, and nodded hastily: “I’ll go!”

    Sometimes, he really thinks that their director Shen is a god.

    You can even come up with this idea.

    Qiu Mi bought a sandwich halfway, and then drove to the gate of Lin Lan University while eating.

    After seizing her ID card at the door, Qiu Mi made various inquiries in the huge campus at the speed of her wild horse prolapse, and finally went straight to the downstairs of the girls’ dormitory.

    After waiting for a long time with the host aunt, Qiu Mi saw the true face of ‘Zhiqi’ for the first time.

      On her collarbone, she stepped on a pair of flax-colored strappy sandals on her small feet.

    Zhi Qi’s ivory-white slap face was not made of powder, and her beautiful plain face was well-behaved and dazed.

    This appearance is better than most of the female stars Qiu Mi has seen, and the little assistant is dumbfounded for a while.

    until the girl walked in, and the gentle question of the auntie and the dormitory reached his ears—

    “Auntie, who is looking for me?”

    Qiu Mi just woke up from a dream.

    He finally understands why he has always been calm and indifferent to Brother Qi like a robot, because of some information about this girl named Zhiqi.

    “It’s me, it’s me.” Qiu Mi thought of the business and walked over quickly: “Beauty, is your name Zhiqi?”

    “I’m…” Zhixi looked at the strange man with a baby face in front of her, a little surprised: “Who are you?”

    “I’m Jiang Qi’s assistant.”

    After saying this, he clearly saw a hint of surprise flashing in the beautiful dark pupils of the girl in front of him.

    Qiu Mi thought about Shen Lei’s previous instructions to use ‘exaggerated’ rhetoric, no matter what, she must deceive people…

    So he resisted the guilt and gritted his teeth: “Well, can you come with me? Something happened to Brother Qi.”

    It’s not that Qiu Mi wanted to lie like this, but he remembered that Shen Lei’s original words were—

    “Jiang Qi must take this book, otherwise he will not be able to get along in the circle in the future.”

    “So you have to find a way to make him laugh, by all means.”

    “Only that girl named Zhiqi can make him laugh and soften him. Go and find someone.”

    “Well, just exaggerate and lie to Jiang Qi to tell her something.”
