"You..." Lin Qiao choked, his neck turning redder with anger.
"Since you have taken the initiative to ask to act in a role with me, don't be so fussy about it. If you want to be an actor, this little hardship is nothing to you." Wang Zhang obviously didn't take such a small matter to heart.
What acting pursues is the word "truth". Actors sometimes suffer injuries a million times more serious than this while filming on the set.
Song Lan secretly gave Lin Qiao a warning look, and said openly, "If you feel uncomfortable, go to the infirmary later."
Wang Zhang is a well-known director, and Song Lan is the artist director. The two of them openly and secretly refuted Lin Qiao's accusations, and it was obvious that they did not intend to blame Ji Li who was "into the role".
Seeing this, Lin Qiao was so frustrated that he almost bit his teeth.
It was clearly he who wanted to teach Ji Li a lesson, so why did he end up suffering the loss?
"You've achieved this level in such a short period of time. That's a good performance." Wang Zhang walked closer and praised him. All the depression he had accumulated before disappeared.
He looked at Ji Li with a smile, "If there is a role suitable for you in the future, I will definitely have someone contact your company."
"Thank you, director." Ji Li pursed her lips and smiled, showing the humility of a 'newcomer' perfectly.
At this moment, Zhao Jinfeng sat in his seat in a daze, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
I thought that with Ji Li's acting skills it would be another farce, but unexpectedly, he actually performed brilliantly for the first time.
Ji Li had been paying attention to Zhao Jinfeng's expression with his peripheral vision, and then changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Coach Zhao for giving me this special opportunity."
The word 'special' was emphasized a bit.
Seeing everyone's attention focused on him, Zhao Jinfeng quickly stood up and said politely, "What are you talking about? As your acting coach, I can only provide you with theoretical help. You have to seize the opportunity yourself."
As he finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Qiao unconsciously. The latter was feeling aggrieved and avoided his gaze.
Wang Zhang has been a director for so many years that he has developed a keen eye and naturally saw through Zhao Jinfeng's guilty conscience.
Who is this person?
How can you be someone's teacher when you can't even act well in your own play?
He looked at Song Lan and said with a smile, "Tell President Meng for me that your company's selection of training instructors still needs to be improved. Don't waste the good talents among the trainees."
When Zhao Jinfeng heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He graduated from a film and television academy, but his appearance was average and he failed to become an actor with real talent. In recent years, I have been playing some supporting roles, but the pay is not high and my life is unstable.
At the beginning of the year, he heard that Dream Media was recruiting trainee mentors, so he tried it out of a fluke mentality, and was unexpectedly selected.
Over the past six months, countless trainees have been respectfully calling him "Coach Zhao," and he has become a little complacent.
At this moment, Wang Zhang said this in front of everyone, and Zhao Jinfeng felt extremely embarrassed.
Song Lan nodded, with some understanding in his eyes.
"It's getting late. I'm leaving first." Wang Zhang waved his hand and looked around at the large group of people in the training room. "No need to see me off. Say goodbye to President Meng for me."
"Okay, Director, take care."
After the former left, Song Lan spoke up, "Except for Coach Zhao and Lin Qiao, everyone else should go back and rest, and wait for the company's follow-up notice."
Song Lan must be a sensible person to be able to sit in this position. Now she left these two people alone to deal with the "dirty dealings" between them.
Ji Li understood this, and without saying a word, he followed the crowd and left at the end.
Soon, there were only three people left in the room.
"Coach Zhao, on behalf of the Human Resources Department, I'm officially notifying you that you're fired. This training session has just come to an end, so you can leave now."
Song Lan's overwhelming words completely stunned Zhao Jinfeng, "...Director Song! What do you mean by this? What qualifications do you have to represent the Human Resources Department?"
If he gets fired, where can he find such a good job again?
"You should know best what I mean."
Song Lan didn't beat around the bush and pointed out the truth, "Didn't you secretly tamper with today's assessment clip? Ji Li is a trainee under our company, and as an acting instructor, you are derelict in your duty!"
"In the past six months, how many bribes have you taken from trainees by taking advantage of your position? The company has already given you a huge favor by firing you instead of reporting the matter to the police."
When Zhao Jinfeng saw that his secret was revealed, his face froze and he felt more and more uneasy.
Song Lan paused, and stabbed Lin Qiao with a sharp look, "And you..."
"Sister Song Lan, this is none of my business!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Lin Qiao immediately shirked responsibility, "I did give Coach Zhao some money, but I just hoped that he would give me a back door during the assessment so that I could pass and graduate smoothly."
"As for him secretly changing the test questions to target Ji Li, I had no idea."
Zhao Jinfeng stared at him in disbelief, obviously not expecting that the other party would clear him of all blame!
His face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Lin Qiao and said, "It's obvious that you bribed me to deliberately embarrass Ji Li during the assessment, so that he would fail the assessment three times and be fired by the company!"
"Nonsense! After all, I am the young master of Lin Pharmaceuticals. I have everything I want. Why would I be so stupid as to make things difficult for Ji Li?" Lin Qiao stepped forward and deliberately revealed his identity.
Song Lan watched them 'blaming each other' with cold eyes, secretly thinking -
Lin Qiao was paid a huge sum to get in, and according to Mr. Meng, no matter how bad he is, he will be "recommended" to make a debut. As for the performance after debut, it all depends on one's own luck.
It's time for Zhao Jinfeng to be fired. As for whether Lin Qiao stays or leaves, I'm afraid I'll have to report to President Meng for a decision.
"Zhao Jinfeng, pack up and leave immediately." Song Lan suppressed the disgust in his heart and warned Lin Qiao, "Don't form cliques in the company. If you do it again, you can just leave!"
Lin Qiao snorted and didn't take Song Lan's advice to heart at all. He glanced at Zhao Jinfeng provocatively and left the training room with a swagger.
Zhao Jinfeng watched the 'culprit' leave, and immediately regretted it so much that his intestines turned green -
He shouldn't have believed this man's lies in the first place, and he shouldn't have been so obsessed with money as to make things difficult for Ji Li.
Now, not only did he not get any other benefits, but he also lost his job!
…
As soon as Lin Qiao left the training room, he received a call from Lin's mother.
"Mom, who could be better than your son?"
"With my status, no one dares to make things difficult for me. Even the artist director of their company has to give me some leeway." Lin Qiao strolled in the corridor, his expression so proud that he seemed to be floating to the sky.
——Swish.
Suddenly, a large amount of dirty water was splashed at the corner of the corridor, and Lin Qiao was caught off guard and was completely soaked from head to toe.
Ji Li, who was hiding in the shadow of the corner, went around to the back and slammed the cleaning bucket on Lin Qiao's head, then kicked him.
"Ah!" Lin Qiao fell to the ground with the bucket still covering his head. He was so heavy that he couldn't get up for a long time. "Who! Who... who did it?"
Ji Li took in the other person's embarrassed look, and a slight curve appeared on the side of his lips.
He had long expected that given Lin Qiao's status as the young master, Song Lan would not be able to touch him for a while, and at best he would dismiss Zhao Jinfeng, the "accomplice".
But when he thought of the bullying the original owner had suffered before, Ji Li couldn't swallow this breath, so he waited in this blind spot of surveillance and seized the opportunity to take action.
At least, we have to give Lin Qiao a taste of his pain.
As I recalled, another sound of footsteps was heard.
Ji Li heard the noise and quickly hid in the stairwell.
Zhao Jinfeng walked over with a dejected look on his face. When he saw the movement on the ground, he paused obviously.
As luck would have it, the first thing Lin Qiao saw after taking away the bucket was him.
The anger that had been gathering in his chest exploded, and Lin Qiao concluded without a second thought that it was the other party's doing, "Damn it! How dare you, Zhao, play dirty tricks on me."
He got up and punched Zhao Jinfeng hard.
Zhao Jinfeng lost his job because the other party blamed him, and he was also very angry. Now he was beaten for no reason and he was immediately unhappy.
Zhao Jinfeng turned around and started wrestling with Lin Qiao. The heavy sounds of punches and curses were intertwined in the corridor. It was as fierce as it could be.
Ji Li saw through the crack in the door the two men fighting each other until their faces were bruised and swollen, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
As the saying goes, every evildoer will receive his due punishment.
However, Ji Li was not interested in this dog-eat-dog game. He glanced at the sky outside the window, turned around and went down the stairs.
Night gradually enveloped the entire Hengcheng.
In a luxuriously decorated RV, a man walked out of the shower room. His bathrobe covered his body tightly, but even so, one could still glimpse a bit of mature and seductive superiority.
The German Shepherd lying on the carpet instantly wagged its tail and looked at the man eagerly.
The man walked over and sat on the sofa, then touched its head.
A slight electronic sound was heard, and the German Shepherd quickly ran away from the sofa and squatted in front of the door with a vigilant look on his face.
Qi An paused in his steps as he was getting into the car, bent down and patted the 'gatekeeper' on the head, and said with a smile, "Major General, wait outside, I'll take you for a walk later."
"Ouch." The major general's ears twitched, obviously he understood what was said, and got out of the car.
"Qin Li." Qi An called out and quickly walked to his friend's side. "Did you just finish the show?"
"Well, the filming went smoothly during the day, so I asked Director Zheng to mention the scenes in the same scene later." Qin Li rubbed his brow, his tone revealing fatigue that was hard to conceal.
Seeing him like this, Qi An couldn't help but sigh, "Why are you working so hard?"
He made his debut at the age of 22. In ten years, he won four Best Actor trophies and one Best Actor trophy. Looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, Qin Li can be called the legendary number one.
Qi An is his classmate and agent. The two have complemented each other and have come this far. They have also co-founded a film and television company and are unanimously recognized as a gold medal pair by people in the industry.
In Qi An's eyes, there is no time when the other party will not fight.
"It will be shot sooner or later." Qin Li smiled and asked, "Have you arranged the shooting schedule for the international magazine?"
"Mr. Zheng is quite prompt in approving leave for the next two days." Qi An nodded.
Qin Li has always been dedicated to his work when filming and rarely asks for leave to go out. This time it was a rare opportunity to "take a leave", and the director agreed without thinking twice as he saw that the filming was progressing smoothly.
Qi An took a sip of the whiskey on the table and suddenly remembered something. "By the way, I'll show you a video while I have time. Wang Zhang sent it to me."
"A preview of his new play?"
"No." Qi An handed the tablet over and said, "It's a newcomer's assessment video."
Qin Li frowned slightly, having no idea what these two people were up to.
Qi An leaned back on the sofa and explained, "He was invited to be a mentor. He said he found a good talent among a bunch of trainees. He played the role you played before."
Qin Li didn't take it seriously and clicked on the video casually.
Qi An was busy in the afternoon and had no time to watch the video. "I don't know what Wang Zhang was thinking. How could a newcomer's acting skills be better than yours? He had to show it to you..."
"Shut up first." Qin Li said these four words for the first time.
Qi An was stunned for a moment, then he looked over - his friend was staring at the video intently, his brows furrowed, and his eyes gradually filled with deep emotions that he couldn't understand.
The assessment clip, which lasted less than two minutes, was quickly finished.
Qin Li stared at the screen with the pop-up jump button for a moment, then put the tablet down a little late.
Qi An noticed his friend's rare slight misstep and asked in surprise, "Really? Did he make you look at him dumbfounded? This new guy is really a good talent? Do you want me to find out more about him and sign him to our company?"
"I'm tired." Qin Li glanced at him and changed the subject, "Take the major general for a walk. Don't let him wait outside for too long."
Seeing this, Qi An uttered a sigh, "Okay."
Only after the other party left did Qin Li return his gaze to the tablet.
"The Awakener" is his first film and television work. Many people say that Qin Li's acting skills reached a peak in this clip. But only he himself knew that his portrayal of this segment was flawed.
In fact, there were two completely different versions of this clip shot back then, one was extrovert and full of tension, and the other was restrained and hidden in the heart.
After repeated consideration, the director and producer chose the former for the sake of market audience and box office.
The protagonist Zheng Yi's emotional catharsis is obvious. Every punch he throws will have a layer of emotion superimposed on it, and only when it is superimposed to the end will the audience feel a hearty and refreshing feeling.
But it is just the audience's demand for this scene.
The audience watches the play, and the actors act out their roles.
For actors who are portraying characters, real emotions often emanate from within.
There was no scene arrangement or camera switching in the assessment video, but this newcomer used the most restrained acting method, completing the core of the role with just a few words and unexaggerated body language and eye expressions.
It is almost the same as the performance version that Qin Li really wanted.
Good seedling?
Qin Li thought of Wang Zhang's evaluation of the newcomer, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and he unconsciously pressed the replay button.
