35 Chapter 35
◎Stunning◎
The script inherits the setting of the novel, and the characters of the twins are beautiful, very beautiful!
Although her role is not as much as that of the female lead and other female supporting roles, and the female lead has been confirmed to be the top-tier Zhang Qingqing with extremely strong aura, but precisely because of this, this role requires someone who is both beautiful and has good acting skills, otherwise it will be easy to be lost in the crowd.
At first glance, Zhang Li's outstanding appearance completely met and even exceeded the expectations of everyone in the audition team.
"Hello, teachers. I'm Zhang Li."
"The first scene I tried out was Act 19, Scene 5."
As soon as the words fell, the people in the audition group also turned to this page.
Only Liu Qingran, who was in the audience, was startled, because she had also booked this show.
It was obviously impossible to change the play at the last minute, and Zhang Li auditioning before her also meant that if Zhang Li performed too well, she would most likely not be able to surpass him.
The bad premonition soon came true.
The scene Zhang Li chose was not as distinct from the previous two actors' martial arts scenes, but a combination of the two. It was also a particularly difficult scene and one that was prone to failure.
Seeing how confident she was, the people in the audition team naturally began to look forward to it.
In contrast, the other actors began to feel nervous.
Fang Se, who knew what play Liu Qingran had chosen, stared at the stage intently, praying in her heart that Zhang Li would make a fool of himself.
-
On the stage, Zhang Li took a leisurely look at the surrounding arrangements. After finding that all the necessary leverage points were in place, he personally chose his weapons, which were a pair of swords.
When they saw her holding the first sword, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but when the two swords came out, even Liu Qingran was shocked.
The eyes of the people in the audition group lit up even more.
The director and screenwriter, in particular, subconsciously straightened their backs from leaning back in their chairs and leaned forward. Because it's so difficult to find actresses good at fighting scenes in the Chinese entertainment industry, especially when twins have different weapons, they didn't even dare to add any settings in advance.
Zhang Li calmly tested the swords, then placed the two swords on the Eight Immortals table next to him and fixed them in place.
After finding the correct positions of each party, Zhang Li began this audition without any rivalry.
"Battle of Vientiane", as the name suggests, the whole TV series revolves around a battle for martial arts.
The male and female protagonists are both very prestigious disciples in the righteous sect. They originally went out to gain experience, but unfortunately they were involved in this dispute. The two people with the same experience had the honor to meet each other, and then experienced many killings and battles with other friends.
Seeing more and more casualties wherever they passed, they finally discovered that it was all related to a universal box.
According to legend, the Wanxiang Box contains a pill that can increase one's internal strength by a hundred years, and two invincible weapons.
And this is where the disputes in the martial arts world come from.
In order to restore the peace of the martial arts world, the male and female protagonists and their group plan to personally search for the whereabouts of the Universal Box.
The twins are characters that begin to appear in the middle of the plot.
The two women have unknown origins and are both skilled in martial arts. They look exactly the same, but have completely opposite personalities, one good and one evil. The elder sister is kind, upright and willing to save people, while the younger sister appears to be the same as her elder sister, but is extremely vicious and vindictive behind the scenes. If she accidentally bumps into someone and the other person does not apologize, she will follow him directly and kill him with a knife in secret.
The novel describes the twins as either saving people or on the way to kill people, and the author does not give too much psychological description of them. It is only during this period that the words hint that the twins' origin is related to the Universal Box.
In the end, the two sisters had a lifelong grudge against each other. One of them found out that what she wanted was in the male protagonist and wanted to kill him, while the other one developed a friendship with the male and female protagonists over the past few days and eventually turned against her younger sister.
Both sisters have very extreme personalities. The elder sister is extremely kind and the younger sister is extremely evil. In the end, the two of them inexplicably become enemies.
The elder sister's martial arts skills are slightly better than the younger sister's. During the fight between the two, the younger sister was defeated by her elder sister and was accidentally seriously injured by her. Then the younger sister left angrily, and the elder sister stayed with the male and female protagonists.
After that, the younger sister disappeared until the male and female protagonists were all seriously injured in an accident. The younger sister appeared again and still wanted to kill the male protagonist, but was stopped by her elder sister again.
This was the last battle between the two. The elder sister was injured and could no longer beat her younger sister, but in order to stop her, she deliberately exposed her vital points during the fight and then died at the hands of her younger sister.
The younger sister was so grief-stricken that she forgot to be on guard and was hit by the enemy lurking in the dark, and died with her sister.
The first scene Zhang Li chose was the one where the two sisters turned against each other.
She had been sitting at the table, chatting happily with the male and female protagonists. But her younger sister had found an excuse to leave earlier, so she didn't know that her younger sister had secretly sent someone to investigate and found out that the thing she wanted had already been swallowed by the male protagonist. If she wanted to get it, she had to kill the male protagonist first.
Zhang Li, wearing a bright yellow outfit, sat down at the side of the eight-immortals table and began to talk to the male and female protagonists. Her beautiful profile could attract everyone's attention.
Especially the smile on her face, it really touches the heart.
As he spoke, Zhang Li looked towards the audience seats.
Everyone understood that it was the younger sister who had appeared.
The younger sister suddenly appeared and told the heroine that one of her friends was outside and wanted to discuss something with her.
The heroine was not on guard and stood up and left from her original position.
Zhang Li seemed to have noticed something, and the expression on his face began to change. His eyes followed the heroine as she left, and then his gaze returned to his sister.
"Ah Zhen?"
There was a hint of inquiry in Zhang Li's eyes.
Then came the younger sister's lines.
In order to avoid arousing the male protagonist's suspicion, the younger sister just pretended to say some coquettish words, and then sat down where the female protagonist had just sat, opposite Zhang Li.
But Zhang Li was more suspicious and kept staring at his sister's movements meaningfully.
Seeing her pick up the kettle to pour water for the male protagonist, she suddenly reached out and grabbed it.
"I'm thirsty, pour me some first."
At this time, the younger sister also noticed her sister's lack of cooperation, and their eyes confronted each other.
The male protagonist noticed that the atmosphere was not right and thought that the two were arguing, so he began to mediate.
The younger sister took advantage of the hero's unpreparedness, took out her weapon and pointed it directly at his vital point.
At this critical moment, Zhang Li's expression changed. He let go of the kettle, quickly pulled out the two swords on the table, and neatly blocked his sister's weapon attack.
The people in the audience finally understood Zhang Li's intention of placing the two swords on the table to secure them.
This connection made the audition team nod their heads.
Then came the highlight of this scene.
After Zhang Li frowned and pushed away her sister's weapon with her two swords, the next thing her sister did was to tell her what she had found out and ask her to help her kill the male protagonist.
Zhang Li was stunned at first.
But then she remembered something and advised with deep sorrow: "He has no grudge against us, you can't do this..."
The younger sister took the initiative to attack, and Zhang Li quickly made a move to push the male protagonist back, and then received the attack from her younger sister.
The battle between the two began.
Zhang Li was seen holding two swords, as if there was really someone attacking her. She blocked several times and finally used her strength to force the opponent away.
"Ah Zhen, do you really want to do this?" Zhang Li's eyes are very vivid, showing her disapproval of her sister's insistence on killing the male protagonist, her annoyance at her sister's paranoid mentality, her heartache that her sister actually attacked her, and her determination to stop her sister...
The younger sister does not have the kindness of her older sister, so naturally she has to kill the male protagonist.
Seeing this, Zhang Li's face darkened.
She finally got serious.
She was seen holding two swords, making a beautiful sword flower, and then taking an attacking stance.
Previously, they had only used double swords to block, and no one had noticed Zhang Li's strength. Seeing this extremely beautiful double sword flower, the faces of the audition group brightened even more.
And Zhang Li's subsequent fighting scenes did not disappoint them. They were crisp and smooth, with excellent rhythm.
She wields her dual swords beautifully, and her sleight-of-hand stunts are effortless. During the fight scenes, she also adds some subtle details, such as when the male lead reacts and wants to intervene, she can fend off her sister while distracting him. This not only enriches the character, but also shows her overwhelming strength over her sister.
At the same time, this also demonstrates Zhang Li's ability to control expressions and details.
All of this was seen by the audition team and other people in the audience.
The audition crew was very excited while the other actors felt more and more disappointed.
Zhang Li's appearance was already a huge threat, and now she's revealed something so bombastic, who among them will be able to handle it?!
Fang Se's face, hidden in the darkness, turned black with anger, and Liu Qingran beside her also lost her color.
However, what made them even more disappointed was yet to come. When they saw Zhang Li take light steps, tap on the stool and the eight-immortal table next to him for leverage, flip twice in the air, land gracefully, and attack again with two swords in hand, the three people in the back knew that if Zhang Li had not performed poorly later, they would basically not be able to win this battle.
Zhang Li's rhythm was very steady, and he didn't drag out the fighting scenes for too long to deliberately show off his skills.
She quickly seized her sister's weakness and continued her offensive.
Her original intention was to force her sister to give up the weapon in her hand, but she didn't expect that the heroine and others were attracted by the sound of fighting.
When she noticed their arrival, she and her sister were distracted at the same time, and then, without paying attention, the sword in her hand stabbed her sister's shoulder.
The younger sister turned around in disbelief. Zhang Li was stunned, his eyes wandering between the sword and his younger sister's face. He couldn't believe that he had done this.
Her hand, which had been extremely steady, began to tremble. With a tremor, my sister pulled her shoulder away from the sword.
Before the heroine and her friends entered the house, her sister glanced at her and then broke out of the window.
Zhang Li chased after her, but found that his sister had already gone far away.
Only at this moment did Zhang Li finally realize everything, and his eyes were filled with regret.
She looked at the sword stained with her sister's blood, blinked, and couldn't control her tears, which suddenly rolled down her cheeks.
This was the first time she had hurt her twin sister.
With the broken words "Ah Zhen...", the scene ended here.
Zhang Li took a deep breath and came back to his senses.
Everyone in the audition group could no longer conceal their admiration and began to applaud.
Fortunately, the first two actors had also received applause, so it didn't seem abrupt.
Zhang Li quickly collected his attention and started the second scene.
The difficulty of this scene is simpler than the previous one, it is a pure fighting scene.
This simple scene becomes different under Zhang Li's interpretation.
This is a scene where the elder sister accompanies the hero and heroine to conduct an investigation. Several of the companions fall into a trap, and the hero and heroine are caught in a dilemma. The elder sister steps forward to deal with the enemy and asks them to go to the rescue.
Zhang Li and the male and female protagonists came to a certain place.
She had just glanced around and realized something was wrong when she heard movement from her companions.
Looking back, everything happened very quickly.
She could only shout: "Go and save people!"
Then he drew out his two swords handsomely and began to deal with the enemy.
This time, she danced with both swords so tightly that it made people feel nervous.
But after a while, she seemed to gain the upper hand and pushed the enemy back.
But at this moment, Zhang Li suddenly noticed movement above his head. While looking up, he subconsciously used both swords to block upwards.
With a "clang" sound.
Unfortunately, the enemy's attack was too fast and too urgent, and the two swords in her hands were almost pressed parallel to each other, forcing her to do a split.
With the support of the ground, she quickly turned from passive to active, and then repelled the enemy with a few moves.
Then, she propped herself up on the ground with the hilts of her two swords, gracefully leveraging the force, and with a beautiful opening move, she charged towards the enemy once more...
Seeing her beautiful kung fu, the people in the audition group looked at each other and nodded repeatedly.
The director even exclaimed: "The basic skills are very solid!"
He even had the urge to kill the person on the spot.
When Zhang Li finally finished his move, he bowed towards the audience while holding his two swords, and loud applause was heard again.
-
After auditioning for the first role, Zhang Li, like the previous two actors, went backstage to change his look.
Cheng Yu was already waiting for her beside her.
When he saw her, his eyes were full of joy.
“So beautiful!!”
Compared with the first two, it's simply overwhelming.
Zhang Li smiled, took the water handed to him by Cheng Yu and took a sip.
This time is different from the role of Concubine Li in "The Legend of Li Wan". The energy and physical strength consumed are extraordinary.
Fortunately, I was able to change clothes and take a break before trying out the role of the younger sister.
Zhang Li didn't have the energy to care about anything else. He returned to his seat backstage and found the stylist was already waiting there.
She called the previous makeup artist over, changed Zhang Li's makeup to a slightly sharper look, and then prepared to change Zhang Li's hairstyle.
Zhang Li and Cheng Yu looked at each other.
Cheng Yu immediately understood, and seeing that the makeup artist was about to leave, she followed him and specially invited him to a deserted place to discuss something.
The stylist noticed Cheng Yu's actions and seemed to understand something, but didn't say anything more.
She was very skillful and quickly changed the original bun into a hairstyle that gave a completely different feeling from the previous one.
The previous bun was a bit like a lily bun, but this time it was tilted to one side, like a single spiral.
"etc……"
The stylist looked at Zhang Li.
"Could you please leave some more hair on the sides?"
"Okay." This request was not difficult and the stylist completed it quickly.
She took Zhang Li to change clothes.
The original bright yellow was replaced with a dark purple headband and tight clothes, a black corset tied around the waist, a black gauze coat on the outside, and black boots instead of white boots. The fairy style suddenly turned into a witch style, and a beautiful and aggressive witch.
When Zhang Li returned to her position, Cheng Yu had already completed the task she instructed.
Seeing that Zhang Li was still stunning after changing clothes, she couldn't help but nod with satisfaction and gave him a thumbs up.
In the middle of the process, Liu Qingran did not return to the seat next to him. Probably because he did not want to see Zhang Li, so he chose another one.
When they returned outside, the audition for the older sister's role had just finished, and it would soon be the younger sister's turn.
The last actor came down from the stage and was stunned when he saw Zhang Li after she changed her clothes. Then he smiled at her sadly and went backstage.
It seems that the other party no longer hopes to snatch these two roles from Zhang Li.
However, the two actors ranked ahead of Zhang Li were not affected much.
Soon it was time for the next round of sisters.
The first actor takes the stage again.
The opponent continued to play steadily and performed better than my sister did.
Zhang Li and Cheng Yu found a seat in the audience, but they didn't expect that two more people would come over as soon as they sat down.
It turned out to be the actress and her assistant who had witnessed Zhang Li and Liu Qingran talking before.
"What a coincidence! You're sitting here too."
Zhang Li smiled and nodded at her.
The opponent seemed to have been influenced by Zhang Li and started to play badly, his carefree personality was exposed completely.
"No wonder you were able to get the role that even Liu Qingran couldn't get. You acted so well! Seriously!"
"Thank you." Zhang Li will always be nice to people who have no ill intentions towards him.
"By the way, did Liu Qingran really let the Liu family snatch the role from you before?" The other party asked mysteriously, looking like he was really eager to get some insight.
"It should be her agent who did it." Zhang Li didn't want to wrongly accuse Liu Qingran.
"Oh~~" the other party suddenly realized.
The actors on stage were performing at a wonderful part, so the two stopped talking and looked back at the stage.
Unfortunately, because of Zhang Li’s stunning performance in the first show, even Liu Qingran who came later could not overshadow him, the audition team’s vision was no longer comparable.
Now they just want to see how well Zhang Li can play the role of the younger sister. If she is half as good as the older sister, they will choose her directly.
After the first one finished, the second one took over.
If you calculate on average, the two of them are indeed quite strong.
After the performance, both of them even felt that they had met their match.
But when Zhang Li came on stage again, everything was completely different.
-
"My sister's first scene. I want to try out Act 15, Scene 1."
This is the scene where the sisters first appear and their personalities are revealed.
After the elder sister saved someone, she was taking that person to the clinic when a man bumped into her younger sister. Seeing that the two sisters were beautiful, he not only did not apologize to her younger sister, but also looked at them with a lewd look and then left.
Zhang Li changed his clothes, and it seemed that he had changed himself as well. He also changed his weapon from two swords to a knife, which he carried on his back.
Her eyeliner was lengthened, her eyeshadow was darker, and even her eyes changed from clear and bright to a slightly colder look.
Although her expression was similar to her sister's, everyone could sense a hint of gloom.
…Seeing her sister saving people, she was obviously reluctant, but still lent a hand to her sister.
After being hit by the man, her eyes turned extremely cold for a moment, but she recovered after blinking.
Then, when the man was looking at him, Zhang Li squinted his eyes, murderous intent was revealed on his body, and even the look he gave the man seemed to say two words - "seeking death".
But her sister next to her seemed to interrupt her. She turned around and smiled as if nothing had happened.
But no one ignored her little action. She flicked her finger in the man's direction.
After sending her sister to the clinic, she found an excuse to go out, and then she no longer concealed it. She whistled, and a bird flew over. She stretched out her finger, crushed something with her other hand and gave it to the bird to eat, and the bird flew away in a certain direction.
Zhang Li quickly chased over there.
At a certain point, she seemed to have found her target. A cold smile appeared on her face. She tapped the ground a few times, then did two front flips in the air and came in front of the man.
What surprised the audition team and others was that no one knew how she did it, but after she did two front flips, she actually had a bunch of hair on her cheek in her mouth.
As her eyes turned to the side and she reached out to slowly take off the strand of hair, the ruthless curve of her mouth was exposed to everyone.
Such small details made the director and others feel itchy and their eyes lit up again and again.
Then, as Zhang Li slowly turned around, one hand reached for the hilt of the knife behind him.
The subsequent outcome is predictable.
Zhang Li just swung the knife lightly, and the man's head fell to the ground.
After 'killing someone', Zhang Li changed his cold attitude and showed a sweet and strange smile.
She took out a handkerchief from her body and wiped the blade lovingly. Then the handkerchief slipped from her fingertips and fell on the place where the man's head should have belonged.
As she walked back to the clinic, she danced with her knife and inserted it into the scabbard behind her...
The audition team thought Zhang Li's portrayal of the twin sister was already attractive enough, but unexpectedly, she was just as good as the younger sister, and even...
"It's so exciting!" The screenwriter's words expressed everyone's thoughts.
The two actors who had already finished their performance in the audience thought that the winner would be decided between the two of them, but they were stunned when they saw Zhang Li's performance.
In fact, this scene is very short, but the performance is so wonderful that people ignore it.
The second game Zhang Li chose was a little longer.
This scene was the final scene for the two sisters.
The hero and heroine and a group of people were accidentally seriously injured. The younger sister appeared in front of everyone again and wanted to kill the hero...
Zhang Li started with two front flips and landed in front of a crowd of people.
Seeing her appear, her sister was naturally happy but also more cautious.
The blank time left by Zhang Li was enough for the audience to imagine the reactions of her sister and others.
Then came her conversation with her sister.
After the conversation, the two sides started fighting.
Zhang Li used two swords when testing the role of the elder sister, but switched to a knife when testing the role of the younger sister.
Although it was obvious from the knife skills in the first scene that she was quite skilled in using a knife, everyone was still surprised again when she actually started fighting with a knife.
"Oh my god, he's almighty!" the actress couldn't help but blurt out when she saw Zhang Li and Liu Qingran talking.
Liu Qingran and Fang Se were sitting right in front of them.
Fang Se almost bit her teeth when she heard her praise for Zhang Li.
Zhang Li on the stage continued.
With the same comfortable rhythm, Zhang Li carried the fighting scene to the critical moment, and suddenly realized something, and his face changed.
Just as he was about to retract the knife, the blade trembled and his sister had already sent him forward.
Zhang Li, who 'often kills people', pulled the knife back reflexively.
But after she finished smoking, her face was dull.
She seemed to see her sister spitting blood, losing the support of her blade, and falling to the ground with a bang in front of her eyes.
With a 'dong' sound, the long sword that Zhang Li had always cherished fell to the ground with a sound.
Her mouth opened and closed, and she collapsed to the ground.
After a while, she finally realized something and quickly crawled towards her sister, hugging her sister's body and covering her wounds with force.
Her tears fell like pearls falling from a string.
But her voice was still as cold as usual, "...Sister?"
She has killed countless people, but now she looks like a helpless child who has made a mistake.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the audition group looked at each other and no longer had any hesitation about the result of this audition.
