Chapter 3 Performance

Just as Xu Zhizhi expected, there was an audition waiting for her, just like a banquet at Hongmen.

The audition took place on the set. This online crime drama had already started filming for half a month. Bai Qing said that the actor who had played the criminal villain previously had run away, leaving a vacant position, so Xu Zhizhi was asked to take the role.

The scene was very simple, just an open space. As soon as Xu Zhizhi came in, she was given a scene that required an audition.

It only takes one audition to determine whether you are successful or not.

Excluding the original owner's memory, this was her first audition, and her only performance opportunity before was on Children's Day in the first grade of elementary school.

This is a built-up studio. The director is sitting on a camping chair. He is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with an unshaven beard and dark skin, but his eyes are piercing and bright.

He held the rolled-up script in his hand and tapped his knee. "Come on, give it a try! If it doesn't work, get out."

As soon as he opened his mouth, his inherent strength was revealed.

The so-called direct entry into the crew was just an excuse to trick her into coming for an audition.

The crew nodded to her, and then the male lead came up, looking relaxed and ready.

"Please allow me three minutes to prepare." Xu Zhizhi looked at the other party.

The director nodded.

After getting permission, Xu Zhizhi closed her eyes and used all the ideas of the mentally ill and explosive criminals issued by the system.

After using it, Xu Zhizhi felt a different feeling enveloping her. The script content that she had found incomprehensible before became easier to understand as she thought from the perspective of the criminal.

For example, in the audition scene, the criminal killed the hero's girlfriend in front of him in a show-off manner, and was pinned to the ground and beaten by the extremely angry hero. The confrontation between the two was very exciting.

Because the character she played had a happy smile on her face throughout the whole film, mixed with contempt for the male protagonist and extreme madness in her heart.

It is simply impossible for ordinary people to perform such a complex feeling.

"alright."

Three minutes later, Xu Zhizhi opened her eyes and spoke.

The two casual words carried a hint of madness, causing the director, who was sitting on the camping chair, to suddenly narrow his eyes and look at Xu Zhizhi.

At this moment, Xu Zhizhi seemed to hold a hammer in her hand, with a slight arc on the corner of her mouth and an extremely happy smile in her eyes. She half leaned over and hit the non-existent person in front of her again and again, with arrogance in her eyes, tilting her head to look at the policeman Yu Fengqiao opposite her, "I'm sorry, I killed someone you like very much!"

The man opposite her instantly turned red with despair. He forcibly broke free from the restraints on his body and ran towards Xu Zhizhi step by step. Xu Zhizhi reached out and wiped the non-existent blood on her face with a weird and relaxed smile that only a murderer could have.

Watching the other person running towards her, the corners of her mouth pulled into a very bold smile, her eyes were filled with extreme joy and excitement, and she was still feeling the happiness just now.

It seemed that what had just passed away in her hands was not a life, but that she had done a good deed.

The male protagonist ran over and looked at Xu Zhizhi. He paused noticeably. This weird smile made the male protagonist feel cold in his heart.

Not only the male protagonist, but everyone at the scene felt their scalps tingling at this smile.

The director even stood up from his chair and looked at Xu Zhizhi with shining eyes.

In the industry, performances are divided into two categories.

One is a crude imitation, which is almost fake at first glance and the audience can tell that you are acting; the other is to deeply understand the character and the script from the bottom of your heart, to become that person in the script, and to interpret this person with every move and every look.

Many people know that psychopathic murderers will smile when they perform, because they believe deep down that they are good people and never even feel that they have made any mistakes.

But it is extremely difficult to really act it out, because a pretentious or deep look is different from a truly weird look.

This is also the reason why many viewers criticize the villains, because it is difficult to draw the bones of a tiger even if it is just the skin.

The director was completely surprised and felt as excited as if he had found a treasure.

The others already felt a chill down their spines and goosebumps all over their arms.

The two continued to act, and Yu Fengqiao was obviously brought into the play by Xu Zhizhi.

He held his lover, who was smashed beyond recognition, in his arms, with a look of pain and anger, and then suddenly rushed towards Xu Zhizhi.

Xu Zhizhi also seemed to be completely into the role. Although she was punched and kicked by the opponent, she displayed a perverted instinct of thinking and calculating all the time. In the situation of the disparity in power between men and women, she fought back and forth with the opponent.

As Xu Zhizhi immersed herself in the role, the system in her mind began to broadcast continuously.

【Malice＋5】

【Maliciousness＋6】

【Malice＋8】

The infinite malice she brought into the system was also constantly absorbed by the system.

Bai Sheng looked at the two people who were still acting. Seeing how absorbed they were in the role, he came to his senses after a while. "Cut, good, the audition is complete!"

The assistant of the male lead immediately went over to check if his employer was injured.

Lin Yu at the side also stepped forward with a pale face, because she was a little scared of Xu Zhizhi now. The performance just now made her feel like she was in the same situation.

It was also the first time that she directly felt the horror of the murderer, which was truly horrifying.

Xu Zhizhi closed her eyes and forced herself out of the state, then turned and looked at Lin Yu.

"Don't be afraid, I'm still me, it's just that I've seen too much these past two days and I imitated it like that!" Xu Zhizhi smiled gently.

Then Xu Zhizhi looked at director Bai Sheng eagerly, wanting to know whether her acting skills were recognized.

This is related to her future job for some time, and it is a high-paying job, so it is definitely worth fighting for!

You know, it's hard to find a reliable job.

Bai Sheng's eyes flickered as he watched Xu Zhizhi switch states in seconds. He originally thought that his brother had recommended another vase, but he didn't expect it to be a piece of beautiful jade that only needed a little carving.

It seems that his cheap brother is not completely useless. At least he is lucky.

He looked at Xu Zhizhi, "Bai Qing has discussed your salary with you before. Do you have any opinions? If not, then sign the contract and join the team. However, I have to make it clear in advance that once you join the team, you must obey me in everything."

Hearing each other say this, Xu Zhizhi and Lin Yu both smiled, and Xu Zhizhi nodded quickly.

"I know!"

The leading actor, who had just stepped away from the play after standing aside for a while, also stepped forward, sighed, and held out his hand, "Welcome to join us!"

"Thank you." Xu Zhizhi also stretched out her hand and shook hands with the other party.

The filming location was full of people, but no one felt that the award was undeserved because Xu Zhizhi's performance was too real.

Afterwards, the assistant director took Xu Zhizhi to sign the contract.

Only when the words were written on the snow-white paper did Xu Zhizhi finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The application requirements are high and the pressure is high, and you can only breathe a sigh of relief when you are successful.

And good things come in pairs. Her performance just now earned her 113 points of ill will, which can be used to redeem system skills.

The crime assistance system is divided into two parts: one is to provide crime simulation, and the other is to provide the skills required for crime.

Simulation is to deeply experience the process and mood of crime, so that criminals can have a real criminal experience and thus achieve a perfect crime in real crime.

Criminal skills are simpler, which are the skills that can be used when committing crimes, such as anatomy, counterfeiting, lock picking, etc.

These two things combined make the crime assistance system worthy of its name.

With the malicious value, she no longer worried about the consequences.

The crew has limited costs, and the price is the same as mentioned before, 50,000 per episode.

Holding the freshly-issued contract, Xu Zhizhi did not leave, but chose to observe how the filming was done on site.

Seeing how diligent she was, Bai Sheng smiled with satisfaction, asked her to sit next to him, and then taught her some things.

After Bai Qingtong told him about this yesterday, he looked at Xu Zhizhi's information. Combined with today's audition, he felt that she was not suitable to be a vase beauty. She should be the best candidate to play a criminal villain. Her realistic acting skills are impressive.

However, he could also see that the other party was not proficient in many things. Although his acting skills were good, he lacked experience.

So he was giving advice intentionally.

Xu Zhizhi also sat obediently aside, watching the filming silently. This was a completely new experience for her.

Seeing how serious she was, Bai Sheng suddenly became interested. He asked the assistant director for the audition clip and then sent it to his friends.

This move was naturally to show off, because the other party was very dissatisfied with him for setting the villain of this crime drama as a woman.

The reason is very simple. They analyzed the prototype of the serial dismemberment murder case very logically and believed that the murderer who had not been caught might just be disguising himself as a woman. The other party might not be a woman, but a perverted person with a transvestite who had a traumatic childhood.

Bai Sheng did not agree with this. He thought that the crime might really be committed by a woman, because the victims could not all be blind.

Two people disagree, and neither can convince the other.

So after seeing Xu Zhizhi's realistic performance, he felt that he should send it to her so that she would be convinced and not just act on her own imagination.

After sending it, he put his phone in his pocket.

The other person is a workaholic, and generally I only take a little time to reply to him in my free time.

However, after a while, Bai Sheng felt a continuous vibration.

Because on the set, his phone was not ringing but vibrating, and he was used to it, so after hearing the vibration sound a few times, he immediately took out his phone to check.

What he saw was a long string of words, as many as five or six, and if he swiped up, new information would appear.

And the chat box also shows that the other party is typing...

Bai Sheng quickly read through it, frowning slightly, feeling that things were not simple.

After reading it, scroll down and the other party will start voice input.

He converted the speech into text, and strings of analyzed text appeared in front of him.

Before he could react, the voice call came in.

Bai Sheng pursed his lips and signaled the assistant director to look at the surveillance camera. He turned around and walked out. Standing in the dressing room, Bai Sheng clicked the call and answered, "Don't be crazy. She is a girl in her early twenties. She was less than six years old when the case happened. She can't be the murderer!"

"I feel that even if she is not the murderer, she is at least an insider, or even someone who has seen the murderer with her own eyes!" The voice on the other end was calm and composed, yet it carried a sense of urgency.

Bai Sheng twitched his lips, "I know you want to solve the case, but his family background is clean, it is impossible for him to be related to this serial dismemberment case!"

"I want to talk to him." The other party was unmoved and asked to meet with Xu Zhizhi.

Xu Zhizhi on the set sneezed suddenly, and a bad feeling arose in her heart.
