In preparation for this test, the original owner practiced and studied very hard in private, and memorized all the movie clips. But the clip being played now had never appeared in his memory at all.
Ji Li glanced at Zhao Jinfeng and guessed the trick - the temporary change of the assessment content was simply to throw the original owner off balance and cause the assessment to fail.
It's a pity that the other party's wishful thinking was wrong. When it comes to acting, Ji Li has never been afraid of anyone.
Ji Li withdrew his thoughts and focused on the clip playing on the screen. He has to grasp the key point of this role in the shortest possible time.
"Brother Qiao, isn't this Actor Qin's 'The Awakener'? Such a difficult segment, but they didn't say it was part of the assessment before?" a trainee muttered.
"Of course it's not the assessment content stipulated before." Lin Qiao turned his eyes to Ji Li standing in the middle and said playfully, "What I want is that the bumpkin can't perform it."
Zhao Jinfeng took his money and deliberately made things difficult for Ji Li during the assessment. If a trainee fails three assessments, he or she will have to be fired from the company according to the previous rules for trainees.
The trainees gathered around exchanged glances and immediately understood what he meant. They then gloated, "So it was Brother Qiao's work? It looks like we're going to have something interesting to watch."
The clip played was taken from the movie "The Awakener". Although it has been released for ten years, it is still one of the top three domestic high-quality films ranked on a certain rating website.
The protagonist of the movie, Zheng Yi, accepted a mission from the organization and lived in anonymity as a vagrant. As an underground undercover agent, he has been wandering around the town for a long time, pretending to be crazy and stupid, passing on information.
During this period, he accidentally met the female protagonist who was a dancer. She never disliked his "silly" appearance and helped him gently time and time again.
But the good times did not last long. The organization's important contact points were discovered and underground members suffered heavy casualties. At the critical moment, Zheng Yi suddenly discovered that the leader of this annihilation operation was the heroine he had a crush on.
The other party's goodwill was disguised, and all previous approaches were tests.
What is playing on the screen now is a classic clip from the movie——
In order to protect the organization's last clue, Zheng Yi had to personally kill the heroine from the enemy party. At this moment, the thugs who bullied him in the past bumped into him again without any scruples.
After being kicked twice by the other party as if teasing, Zheng Yi, who was numb inside, finally couldn't bear it anymore and fought back. The long-term repression finally found an outlet. The madness, pain, and confusion in his heart reached their peak in the impulsive violence.
…
That year, Qin Li, a new actor, won the Best Actor awards at both the Hundred Images Awards and the Chinese Language Awards for his performance in this film. The outstanding acting in this part of the movie was directly regarded as a masterpiece.
This clip has appeared in all the actor selection reality shows in recent years. Many professional actors have tried to imitate Qin Li, but no one's performance has ever surpassed Qin Li.
This shows the difficulty of this segment.
After watching this clip, Wang Zhang's eyes finally showed some interest again. He has worked with Qin Li before, and the other party has always been an actor friend whom he admires and values very much.
"Ji Li?" Wang Zhang looked at the young man in front of him again and was surprised to find that "your outfit is quite suitable for the role."
The protagonist in the play encountered a rainy day, and his clothes were dirty, messy and wet.
Before Ji Li could answer, Song Lan came in from the door. "Director Wang, I'm sorry. The staff must have made a mistake in the assessment clip. How about we..."
"What's wrong? As an actor, the most important thing is the ability to perform on the spot!" Wang Zhang waved his hand to interrupt Song Lan, "Your President Meng went to so much trouble to invite me here, but I can only be a tool for scoring?"
With such sharp eyes as him, how could he not know that this assessment segment was an 'accident'? But he just liked this 'accident'; it was better than having to watch those clips that had been rehearsed in advance.
Song Lan saw through Wang Zhang's emotions and silently held his breath.
If it was another trainee who got drawn, it would be fine, but the person who happened to be involved in this drama was Ji Li. As the person in charge, how could she not know the other party's acting skills?
To put it nicely, it's 'not yet figured out', to put it bluntly, it's simply 'a puddle of mud'.
Song Lan tried to explain again, "Director Wang, Ji Li is just a trainee after all, how can he compare to Teacher Qin?"
"What's there to compare? When Qin Li acted in this movie, he was only in his early twenties." Wang Zhang patted Ji Li's profile and directly changed the subject. "You tell me, are you still going to act? Are you going to take the assessment?"
"Director Wang, Sister Song Lan, I want to be tested." Ji Li replied calmly. He looked at the frozen scene on the screen, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, "I will just act out this part."
The layman watches the excitement, while the expert sees the details.
Although they had never met each other before, Ji Li admired the film's leading actor very much. He controlled the emotions in a relaxed and measured way, and performed the character's inner conflicts very brilliantly.
As an actor, it is natural to challenge yourself to play roles that interest you.
When the trainees heard Ji Li's answer, they all looked forward to the show. Someone laughed and said, "Is Ji Li being forced to do something?"
"Director Wang has spoken, does he dare to say he won't act?"
"With his lousy acting skills, if he agrees now, he will become a laughing stock later."
"Aren't we just waiting to see him make a fool of himself, hahaha..."
Song Lan glanced away the displeased look, and the trainees immediately quieted down, not daring to talk anymore.
"Director." Lin Qiao in the crowd suddenly raised his hand, "Isn't there a gangster character in this clip? Can I act with Ji Li?"
The trainees on both sides of the forest bridge looked at each other, and at the same time, they lit a candle for Ji Li in their hearts——
Brother Qiao’s move is quite cruel!
Who doesn't know that Ji Li usually avoids him carefully when he sees him? Even if he was bullied, he dared not say a word. Now that they are acting together, even if the character played by Ji Li will fight back in the end, I'm afraid he himself doesn't have the courage to hit Brother Qiao, right?
"I am looking forward to the next show more and more."
"Who isn't? Every time a country bumpkin acts, it's a joke."
When others were whispering, Lin Qiao had already received the director's permission. He walked to Ji Li's side and pretended, "Perform well, don't feel pressured."
When playing a gangster, you have to really use your punches and kicks. He must get back at the loss he just suffered in the bathroom.
Ji Li had long seen through Lin Qiao's intentions. He glanced at him indifferently and asked, "Director, I want to connect the previous and the next content and review the movie clips."
"Okay, I'll give you five minutes to prepare." Wang Zhang readily agreed.
Song Lan shook his head silently and returned to his original position. Now that things have come to this, she only hopes that Ji Li can withstand the pressure. She doesn't ask him to perform well, but only hopes that he won't bring too much shame to the company.
The five minutes of preparation time passed in a flash.
"Director, is it okay if I really kick you?" Lin Qiao stretched his muscles and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Wang Zhang nodded and instructed, "Just control your strength."
Ji Li lowered his head without saying a word, and knelt on the ground without hesitation. Obviously, he has put himself into the situation.
The solitary figure, with his deliberately hunched back, instantly gave people an indescribable feeling of despair.
Wang Zhang's eyes lit up, "Let's get started."
Lin Qiao walked over with a swagger, and suddenly stopped when he passed Ji Li. He bent down to look at the numb face of the latter, and said sarcastically, "You bastard, is that you?"
"You bastard" is what the street thugs call this homeless guy. The other party is a fool. He doesn't know how to fight back when he is beaten. Every time they bump into him, they can vent their anger on him.
"You're blocking my way. Get out of the way." Lin Qiao ordered, kicking Ji Li's knee with the tip of his shoe.
Ji Li still kept his head down and said nothing.
If someone looked closely, they would find that the veins on his hands, which were originally spread on the ground, were bulging, as if he was suppressing an extremely strong force.
Lin Qiao, who was immersed in his "bullying" scene, didn't notice this at all. He was able to control the strength of the "kick in the knee" action just now, but he was not so cautious in the next action.
Lin Qiao couldn't wait for the next line, "Are you deaf? I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?"
As he spoke, he kicked out fiercely.
Unexpectedly, Ji Li, who was originally kneeling on the ground, was like a wild leopard that suddenly awakened. He hooked Lin Qiao's leg with his elbow and pounced back nimbly.
Lin Qiao's center of gravity was knocked down by him, and he fell heavily to the ground in a flying posture.
The loud noise of the fall made everyone in the training room gasp, and then they saw Ji Li's unexpected move.
The other party was still immersed in the play. He was seen pressing down on Lin Qiao and strangling the latter's neck with his right hand.
Ji Li's eyes were fixed on Lin Qiao, the two masseter muscles on the lower side of his face were bulging tightly, and even his teeth were exerting force.
Lin Qiao finally recovered from the great pain and began to struggle hard. Almost at the same moment, Ji Li used both hands to increase the force, "Did I ask you to move?"
"We have endured for so long, it is time for us to settle the accounts."
The sound of breath escaped from between his clenched teeth, and the blue veins on the back of Ji Li's hand emerged little by little, as if he could break the other person's neck with his bare hands in the next second.
Lin Qiao's face flushed red, and he felt that the air in his body was almost exhausted. While struggling, he met Ji Li's eyes hidden in his hair - they were madly red.
Oh shit! He is serious!
Lin Qiao realized this and began to struggle even more violently. But what he didn't expect was that Ji Li, who looked thin on weekdays, was now incredibly strong.
Lin Qiao waved his hands wildly, and his legs kicked with increasing force. Just when he thought he was going to die, the person on him suddenly let go of him.
The longed-for air rushed into his mouth and nose. Lin Qiao curled up and coughed violently. The only thing left in his mind was the feeling of relief for surviving the disaster.
Ji Li ignored him and just stood up straight. He looked towards the camera, but also seemed to be looking somewhere beyond the camera. The sharpness in his eyes was like an invisible iron hook, as if it could hook someone's heart out of their chest.
After a few seconds of silence, Ji Li slowly straightened his wrinkled clothes. Along with the usual movements, the madness in his eyes finally dissipated little by little.
…
The trainees who were watching were all stunned and completely forgot to help Lin Qiao who was still lying on the ground.
You know, they have all seen Ji Li's previous assessments, and they can almost be ranked among the best acting jokes of the year. But what happened just now is not enough to be described as "well acted".
It's simply amazing!
If it is Qin Li's "violent" counterattack in the movie, it gives people an extroverted and refreshing feeling. Then the kind of silent madness that Ji Li just performed can make people feel creepy.
It seemed as if just a little force from his hands would be enough to kill Lin Qiao.
The trainees who were making fun of Ji Li just now were now silent out of shame. As bystanders, they obviously felt the charm of this role.
The other party's performance just now was like a loud slap in the face, slapping them hard!
Song Lan suppressed the surprise in his heart and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief for Ji Li——
To be honest, as long as the other person's appearance is packaged well, he or she will definitely be able to gain a place in the circle. It’s a pity that his previous acting skills were such a drag that it was difficult for him to make his debut, or even graduate from training in the company.
But unexpectedly, this piece of "mud" was transformed into a work of art in a place she couldn't see.
Wang Zhang asked the staff to play the video and watched Ji Li's assessment clip again. Only then did he stand up with a feeling of unsatisfied satisfaction.
good.
Not only is it not a copycat, but it also shows a different kind of charm.
Before he could open his mouth to speak, Lin Qiao, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, came up in a panic, "Director Wang! Coach Zhao! Sister Song Lan! I want to complain!"
"Ji Li is simply seeking revenge for his personal grudge!" Lin Qiao pointed at the redness and swelling on his neck and gritted his teeth, "He clearly wanted to kill me just now! This is irrefutable evidence!"
Ji Li had already come out of his acting state. He glanced at Lin Qiao's neck, a hint of satisfaction after success flashing in his eyes. He met the latter's furious eyes and said something lightly that was enough to choke him to death.
"I just got into the role, you don't mind, right?"
