Hou Rongxuan didn't speak immediately. He first looked Xiao He up and down before saying, "I recently saw your performance on that hillside. I think your acting skills are excellent, and your overall image is also very suitable for a role in my current production. I wonder if you would be interested in learning more about it?"
Xiao He: "..."
The hillside over there? That looks like a steep slope, doesn't it? You even have antelope attributes?
Looking at Hou Rongxuan's chubby physique, Xiao He felt a deep respect: "May I ask what the identity of your character is?"
If it's a crime drama... there will probably be scenes involving stabbing people.
Seeing that Xiao He was interested, Hou Rongxuan immediately pulled out a newspaper: "We are currently filming a movie based on a true case. I don't know if you have heard of the case of the three brothers from Rongtou Pig Farm? I want you to play the role of the third brother."
Xiao He felt the name sounded familiar. He took the newspaper from Hou Rongxuan and glanced through it, then gasped in shock.
He remembered!
This happened in Lu City, Province C. About twenty years ago, three brothers from Rongtou Slaughterhouse joined forces to persecute other slaughterhouses in Lu City in order to monopolize the business. They even threatened and exploited local meat vendors and intimidated customers. In the end, they even went so far as to plan a horrific massacre that shocked the entire province.
Hou Rongxuan wanted him to play the youngest of the three brothers. Although this guy was only in high school, he was already a scoundrel who committed all sorts of evil deeds, including bullying students, molesting female classmates, spreading rumors about teachers, and finally conspiring with his two older brothers to dismember a family of three and feed them to pigs. He can be said to have completely lost his humanity and morality.
Most importantly, in real-life cases, this guy is still wanted by the police!
Although his two older brothers have already been brought to justice and their graves are overgrown with weeds, he hasn't! Before the police even came knocking, this beast had already run away, leaving this case a knot in many people's hearts.
Xiao He hesitated now.
Although he's now quite good at playing villains... cough cough, he also has to consider his future life. This character is just too hateful, and he's still not brought to justice. If this is filmed, the production team will be criticized, and he will also be implicated.
Xiao He knew that there was a TV series that remade a murder case where the killer had not yet been caught. As a result, it was heavily criticized by netizens, who felt that it was disrespectful to the victim and caused secondary harm to the victim's family.
Xiao He felt that he should not get involved in this mess.
Seemingly sensing Xiao He's hesitation, Hou Rongxuan pressed on: "Don't worry, our script has been approved by the family of the victim from back then, and even received their support. Their only request is that the actor playing Lao San be seven or eight parts similar to the real person, and that the wanted poster for the murderer be widely publicized during the promotion."
The entire family of three died tragically back then, leaving only the husband's parents. Now, twenty years later, the two elderly people are both ninety years old and no one knows when they will pass away. Their only obsession now is to catch the last murderer who escaped back then before they die.
So when the film crew approached them, these two elderly people were surprisingly tolerant, only giving the crew one request: they hoped they could use the film's influence to spread the killer's face throughout China! To ensure the killer is forever nailed to the pillar of shame!
Of course, it would be even better if we could catch the murderer in the end.
"But I don't look like this murderer at all!"
Xiao He was a little confused. He picked up the wanted poster from the newspaper and put it next to his own face: "He's obviously much uglier than me!"
Not only was he ugly, but he was also going through puberty at the time, and his face was covered in acne. His face looked like a swollen pig's head, and it was really hard to put that face together with his handsome face.
He could at least narcissistically call himself a handsome guy, right?
It would be incredibly insulting if it were true.
Could the director be trying to whitewash the murderer by subtly pushing his own agenda?
Xiao He's gaze towards Hou Rongxuan changed.
He felt he should call the police and have this guy arrested!
