The Whole Empire Raises Me - Chapter 59

The elf priest stood by and watched for a while, and the producer followed in fear. However, after a while, Xia Ya received a certain communication. After reading it for a few seconds, he told Wen Xingze a few more words and went out.

Wen Xingze finally freed himself from the horror scene of “Meeting Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law” and focused on the script.

Although the whole scene of the audition was not long, Wen Xingze was not particularly focused at first. Because of being too nervous, the whole brain is packed with all kinds of chaotic thoughts.

For example, how can Director Li Mingzhou fall in love with him. Although Wen Xingze first heard about “Director Li wants to chat with you”, he guessed that it was related to the trial, but who would have thought that the protagonist was the protagonist!

For example, why is Teacher Chi here?

For example, if you can really get this role…

But these cranky thoughts lasted only a short ten seconds. Looking at the words in the playbook, Wen Xingze only felt that the world around him gradually became quiet, and finally became completely silent.

He seems to have entered another undisturbed world, only those characters are gradually crushed and reorganized and submerged in his mind. His reading speed is surprisingly fast. This is a state that can maximize the actor’s potential.

Five minutes are fleeting.

Director Li said, “Have you seen the script of the trial play?”

Wen Xingze nodded.

Chi Yan: “Yeah.”

Li Mingzhou looked at Chi Yan and couldn’t help but say: “You have been staring at someone’s xiaowen just now…” And he didn’t give Chi Yan the file. What he gave him was the audition script of the young actor.

Chi Yan’s expression remained unchanged, he took over the script in Wen Xingze’s hand, quickly scanned it from top to bottom, and then returned the script to Wen Xingze.

He repeated: “Yeah.” Finished reading.

Everyone: “…”

Gan.

“Ah,” Li Mingzhou cleared his throat, “There are no other questions, then let’s start.”

The people in the room stopped all their movements and held their breath.

Many eyes fell on the two of them, as if they were observing microorganisms with a microscope, and it was more unclear whether it was scrutiny or curiosity.

Chi Yan stood up from his seat, and lightly pressed Wen Xingze’s forehead with his index finger.

When Chi Yan taught Wen Xingze to act and play against him, this action was the signal of the beginning.

Chi Yan is a very strict teacher, and Wen Xingze almost reflexively entered the state, and he didn’t even have the time to feel nervous.

Then, Chi Yan sat down on the chair, his eyelashes drooping slightly.

Wen Xingze brewed his emotions, took two steps back, rolled up his shirt cuffs, and yawned and walked lazily forward. When passing by Chi Yan, Wen Xingze paused, then turned his head a few seconds later.

His complexion was originally fair, and his figure was thin and tall between a teenager and a young man. With the look of sluggishness and gloominess, he suddenly had a paleness that was almost pathologically pale: “Hey.”

There was some hoarseness in his voice.

The director and screenwriter sat up straight.

Xia Huai, who retired from the top of the army due to his disability overnight and fell to the bottom of society, is no longer the proud boy of the sky, but a violent, irritable, and uncertain garbage collector.

Wen Xingze’s beauty in this prosperous age, coupled with his personality, always looks cute and amiable. Even the blackened Hengzhi in “Yulongye” is also a sharp-edged character. In short, Wen Xingze He is a person who can’t stand up to the “Mediocre” and annoying.

But his performance at this time was unexpectedly good.

“……Hey.”

When talking about the second sound, Chi Yan raised his eyes to Wen Xingze.

Although I can’t tell you the details, it’s just a blink of an eye, and Chi Yan’s feeling has been quite different. Even the emotions in the eyes have completely disappeared, and the line of sight is no longer focused somewhere, breathing and micro movements become regular and mechanical.

This is a completely awkward bionic person who is about to be abandoned. He smiled and said with a sharp glance: “Hello, please give instructions.”

Everyone couldn’t help but be speechless. Chi Yan is Chi Yan, who has been the actor for almost ten years. There is nothing to say about this knowledge. They can even hear the rattling sound of the clockwork, buried deep in the bones and flesh of the bionic human, and the wires are becoming dull and rotten. Components……

At the same time, everyone began to sweat for Wen Xingze. The pressure to play against such a top actor was not ordinary, and Chi Yan had no scruples at all.

“I have seen you,” Wen Xingze looked impatient, but his eyes were fixed on Chi Yan, “On the third battlefield, during an emergency evacuation…”

Chi Yan seemed to only repeat one sentence: “Hello, please give instructions.”

Wen Xingze gradually became irritable, and those light-colored eyes looked thin and cold, full of inquiry and caress: “There is no garbage dump on the Alliance? Why did you throw you here, or are you an undercover agent?”

“Hello, please give instructions.”

“The remaining parts and core core chip of yours can be sold for a lot of money if you remove it. It will be enough for me and b18 to survive for a few months.” b18 is a small robot that lives with Xia Huai, but because of a program failure, B18 fell into a dormant period of unknown duration, “I have contacted the vendor in the recycling bin, do you have any last words, please say it now.”

“Hello, please give instructions.”

The bionic person is still smiling.

“…” Wen Xingze couldn’t bear it.

He reached out and grabbed the collar of the bionic man and made the other person stand up, with an angry voice in his voice: “Get up, don’t pretend to be a fool! You–”

Here in the script, Xia Huai’s sudden violent rage wanted everyone to startle. He was an uncertain young man.

Wen Xingze’s explosive power is obviously enough, even surprising, the director couldn’t help but leaned back a bit. There is still a gap between Wen Xingze and Chi Yan’s acting skills, but Wen Xingze is not at a disadvantage when the two play against each other, and they are evenly matched.

however……

The nearly 1.9-meter tall bionic man got up following Wen Xingze’s movements, lowered his eyes, and looked at Wen Xingze softly and confusedly: “Sorry, please repeat it again, I did not understand your instructions.”

Wen Xingze, who was barely 1.8 meters tall, had to look up at him: “…”

Wen Xingze said in seconds: “…Forget it, sit down.”

The momentum is gone all at once.

This time the bionic understood it and sat down obediently.

The two were relatively speechless.

The scene was very embarrassing.

“…Hahahahahahahahaha!!!” Everyone in the audience couldn’t help but laugh. There is no such segment in the script. It was Wen Xingze who improvised according to the actual situation.

——Holding your head up and threatening with cruel words is indeed a bit out of place, but this impromptu is very interesting, not only has a smile, but also makes Xia Huai seem a little more pleasing.

The goal of “Dust Planet” was originally to be popular and popular. It is not a purely literary and artistic film with a high profile. This kind of interspersed laughter is indispensable.

“…”

This entire episode is a confrontation between Xia Huai and the bionic, and Xia Huai, who originally planned to immediately sell the bionics’ parts and chips, also changed his mind in this scene and decided to keep the bionics in his home to observe one. Month situation, and let the bionics work for themselves.

Wen Xingze and Chi Yan’s trial show you come and go, it is wonderful. The attention of all the people in the room was firmly attracted, and in just a few minutes they even forgot that it was a trial show, and watched it with relish just like watching a movie.

And just when Li Mingzhou was already satisfied, in the end, there was even a finishing touch.

At the end of this scene, Xia Huai and the bionic, who each had a ghost in their hearts, decided to live together for the time being, and Xia Huai immediately began to arrogantly instruct the bionic:

“Wait, I will wash my clothes. I will have tomato omelet for dinner. When I come back, there should be no dust on the floor at home… By the way -”

Speaking of Wen Xingze making a push to push the door out, the bionic man followed him a little crampedly and walked to the door.

Wen Xingze showed an impatient expression again, so the bionic man stopped following and went back to do housework. Wen Xingze closed the doorknob with one hand. He habitually reached out to turn off the light, and soon realized that there was no need to turn off the light.

Xia Huai’s left hand was a prosthesis, and Wen Xingze curled up his index finger and retracted his hand rusty.

Wen Xingze looked back, and the indifference and hostility in his amber eyes gradually faded in these short seconds.

The sky was dim, and a few rays of light entered his pupils, which finally reminded him that he was only in his twenties this year. If he had not joined the army and had no war, he would be just a child.

In the three hundred days before today, except for the ai vendors that can be contacted by the garbage collection station through the star network, whether it is small chat, communication, or even quarrel… For three hundred days, no one had spoken to him.

Today is Xia Huai’s birthday.

Wen Xingze remained expressionless, and when he stepped out, his eyes suddenly became red.

“…”

Li Mingzhou almost shot the case and screamed!

There are no lines or monologues in this last paragraph, but Wen Xingze’s control of body language and micro expressions is superb. The most important thing is the fluctuation and change of the eyes. It is not too exaggerated, or even a little constricted, but it is just right for people to catch the subtle emotions.

You don’t even need any narration and plot explanation, just the mime-like scenes can be painful! Li Mingzhou can already imagine how this segment will be edited. It only needs simple rendering and bgm, which can be killed indiscriminately…

Because of the role setting, Xia Huai, the protagonist, was very unpleasant when the early plot had not yet begun. He seems not so good, a little careful, and has a bad temper, so this will increasingly test the actor’s skills and expressiveness.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Mingzhou has not decided on the candidate.

“…Okay!” Li Mingzhou gave this evaluation, because of his identity, he couldn’t say anything more.

After watching this performance, everyone in the audience basically has choices and judgments. Li Mingzhou turned his head to talk with the assistant director and screenwriter for a few seconds, then waved his hand and said to Wen Xingze:

“Xiao Wen, this audition was quite sudden. Thanks for your hard work. Your expressiveness is indeed very strong. We want to try one more time, can we?”

Wen Xingze is slowly entering the play, just now his whole state is incredible, almost back to the peak state when shooting “Yulongye”, not to mention the bystanders, even he himself has not been able to return for a long time. God comes.

As soon as he woke up, he heard Li Mingzhou’s words, and Wen Xingze was stunned on the spot. He did come with the mentality of a try, so he should practice, because he really did not expect the famous Li Mingzhou Li to really look at himself, and directly give him the position of the protagonist.

But looking like this…it seems like there is a play…

The Muse Empire, in the middle of a certain asteroid belt.

This is a huge building with four hundred and fifty small laboratories like a honeycomb. Unlike the natural sky city where the Feathers live, this building is entirely man-made. It floats in the center of the universe without the help of any starships, platforms, or space stations. It is one of the greatest miracles of space architecture science.

It belongs to the great scientist of the dwarf race.

At this time, the same sentence appeared on the entire four hundred and fifty floating translucent screens:

“The task of drying the baby hasn’t been completed yet, it’s just a little bit before you can get the reward, please parents to work harder~”

Unlike the main and side quests they have completed before, this time the hidden quest ‘Baby Babies’ does not have very clear quest indicators. Just now, during the entire process from Cub’s eating lollipops to the audition, the progress bar representing the completion of the task has been moving forward, but in the end it got stuck at 99% and stopped moving forward.

According to their understanding, Chara and the producer introduced Zai Zai to ‘show baby’, but other criteria were not clear because they were not clear, so they didn’t know how to complete the task.

This makes the parents feel puzzled and a little anxious.

The little robots shuttled between the laboratories with downcast heads, and made a beep again and again:

“undone……”

“The mission is not completed, the mission is not completed…”

The very center of all laboratories is a bedroom. This bedroom is full of quilts. Not only this bedroom, but every laboratory in the entire building put expensive and rare soft fabrics as quilts. These things that seem to be incompatible with the highly technological laboratory are obviously not prepared for the dwarf tribe with low sleep needs.

Many years ago, when Your Majesty visited here, he fell asleep directly leaning on the cold laboratory instrument because of sleepiness, and the instrument had two red marks on the cheek, which were pitiful and lovely.

…It was also at that time that the great scientist of the dwarf tribe who lived here finally realized how boring what he studied was for the cubs.

Since then, bedding and quilts have been prepared in every laboratory.

At this moment, a little boy emerged from the quilt in the center of the bedroom. All the little robots suddenly flocked to each other, and anxious prompts chirped one after another:

“Mission not completed” “Not completed” “Task…”

“To shut up.”

The boy finally murmured the first sentence.

The little robots were silent immediately.

The boy was wearing a mask, only a pair of displeased eyes were exposed, and his black curly hair was **** in the back of his head. Like all dwarf races, his skin is pale all year round without sunlight, which makes his emerald eyes almost thrilling.

“……waste.”

The boy murmured another sentence.

Of course, this sentence is not about robots, but about the elven priest who loves to show off. It’s too delicious, it’s really too delicious, and he can’t even complete the task of drying a baby, the boy thought, it’s better to let it go.

Of course he never meant to be jealous.

The only good thing is that Zai Zai seems to be able to get the role of “Dust Planet”, which means that they can definitely get the extra rewards for their hidden missions…

“Hey,” the boy directly dialed the communication to the elf that the dwarf hates, “Listen to me…”

Xia directly hung up the communication.

boy:”……”

“It’s rude.”

The boy continued to murmur sadly.

In this case, he can only use his own method.

Unfolding the light screen in front of the boy, his fingers are very immature and white, even fleshy, and he writes the code more exaggeratedly and quickly than the most skilled programmer.

On the other screens, the screens of “Cubs Cultivation Project” are displayed. In the audition process of “Dust Planet”, the additional tests of Cubs have already begun.

Wen Xingze’s performance in the audition made the screenwriter and director very satisfied. The additional test is the last level to determine whether he can finally get the role. In other words, to further test the compatibility between him and Xia’s character, as well as Wen Xingze’s other abilities, such as adaptability, line skills and so on.

“…”

Inside the crew office.

Model worker Chi Yan was called out again to watch the audition of the young actor.

“Do you have any suggestions for additional testing content?” Li Mingzhou asked the screenwriter and producer, “It’s not a talent show.”

The screenwriter suddenly had an idea and asked Wen Xingze: “If you were Xia Huai and had an ai that depended on you, how would you wake him up?”

Xia Huai’s ai in “Dust Planet” is the young actor I was looking for in this audition, but it is a very important part of the plot and theme.

Wen Xingze really didn’t think about this issue.

He thought hard for several seconds, and in the eyes of everyone’s expectation, he bit his head and said: “…’Hey, Siri?’”

Everyone: “???”

However, just the next second after hearing Xingze’s voice.

The screens of everyone in the office are lit up.

A childish voice sounded from all directions, milky milky voice, but the tone was like a parent’s connivance to a child:

“Is there anything I can help you, cub?”

“…”

“Zubzai Development Plan”.

All the parents suddenly discovered that they were stuck in the progress bar of 99% of the baby drying task. At this moment, they finally moved forward one more step slowly.

… The mission, was it successful?
