Chapter 42 Audition "For you, I will go through fire and water, without hesitation." ...
The flowers in the garden are in full bloom. Some people stop to admire them carefully, while others break off branches and press the beautiful flowers into the damp mud.
——
When Qiao Zhizheng auditioned for the suspense film "If It Doesn't Rain Tomorrow," director Meng Hanyan sat behind her desk, observing her. "Are you auditioning for the female lead, Mu Ci?"
Qiao Zhizheng answered without hesitation, "I want to audition for the role of Jiang Hao."
Meng Hanyan shook her head and refused. "I already have someone in mind for the role of Jiang Hao. You're not suitable. Your image is more suitable for Mu Ci."
Qiao Zhizheng said, "So, is this the image of Jiang Hao that you have in mind?"
Meng Hanyan looked up at Qiao Zhizheng, and was captivated by the numbness and despair in her eyes. It was the first time she looked Qiao Zhizheng in the eye today.
The person is still the same person, but his temperament has completely changed.
Her shoulders were straight, but somewhat deliberately, as if if they relaxed even a little, the invisible mountain on her back would instantly crush her. She could only pretend to be strong and grit her teeth to move forward.
When Qiao Zhizheng, who was in the mood, met Meng Hanyan's eyes, he first stared at her for a few seconds, then looked away helplessly. Beneath his pretended strong appearance, he was panicking inside, not knowing how to get along with others.
Like a flower beaten by wind and rain, it tries hard to live, but can only bow its head helplessly to face the impending withering.
Meng Hanyan felt an impulse in her heart and almost blurted out that she immediately decided that the person in front of her would play Jiang Hao.
The rustling sound of paper brought Meng Hanyan back to her senses. Her eyes gleamed with excitement, but her tone was deliberately subdued, trying to remain emotionless as she spoke, "Do you know what the biggest incompatibility is?"
Qiao Zhizheng humbly asked, "What is it?"
"You're so beautiful."
A face that can appear on the big screen must have good facial features so that the audience will buy into it. A beautiful face is also an advantage in commercial films. The audience is happy to see beautiful faces on the big screen, which is undoubtedly a wonderful visual experience.
Meng Hanyan felt that she was shooting a suspense film with a touch of literary and artistic flavor, and was worried that an overly beautiful face appearing on the big screen would easily make the audience ignore the film itself.
If Meng Hanyan were asked to reject Qiao Zhizheng, she would be reluctant to do so. Meng Hanyan's gaze lingered on her face, with a mixture of love and pity. She said in a half-compromising tone, "Tell me about your understanding of the character Jiang Hao."
"A 'mute' who can speak, a 'lax' who 'walks briskly', and a 'deaf' who can hear."
When reading the script of "If It Doesn't Rain Tomorrow", the bright and great heroine Mu Ci is certainly a good character that can easily attract fans, but in the process of reading the script, Qiao Zhizheng's mind is inevitably attracted by Jiang Hao, who has a complex and dark image.
The saying "A hemp rope breaks at its thinnest part, and misfortune strikes upon the unfortunate" can be said to be a true portrayal of Jiang Hao's life.
When Jiang Hao was fourteen years old, her parents went out fishing on a rainy day and fell into the river and never came back. No relatives were willing to take her in. Jiang Hao lived alone in the old house left by her parents. She grew some vegetables in the yard and set up a stall outside during the day, and did some small handicrafts at night. She barely made ends meet with occasional help from the community.
Living is hard enough, and studying is even harder.
Jiang Hao envied the children studying in school. Whenever he passed by, his eyes would be glued to the school railings and he would not want to leave for a long time.
The community allowed her to go to school and provided free tuition for the nine years of compulsory education.
Jiang Hao lowered his head in silence. Where would the money for food come from? Where would the money for notebooks and pens come from? Where would the money for wearing other people's discarded clothes and sandals come from in the summer, and where would the thick cotton-padded jacket and shoes come from in the winter?
Studying is the only way out for people like her, but the problem is that her life is a wasteland. She can't see where the road is, and even the starting point of the road is difficult to reach.
In the bleak autumn, the withered yellow leaves curled up and fluttered onto Jiang Hao's sandals, which exposed her big toes. The cold wind blew through the loose neckline of her short-sleeved shirt, then a long-sleeved shirt, and then another long-sleeved shirt.
The community women's director helped her raise some money, and Jiang Hao barely finished junior high school. Her academic performance was pretty good, and she was admitted to a teacher training school with free tuition.
Jiang Hao thought that everything would be fine. She wanted to work during the summer vacation to earn some money and prepare for her future life.
Most of the summer vacation had passed. He had earned enough money and the school term was approaching. Just when he thought everything was going to be fine, Jiang Hao was hit by a car. The man fled the scene and was caught. It was discovered that his family was also very poor. After paying all his money to Jiang Hao, he went to jail.
Jiang Hao's legs were paralyzed, and he watched the sunset sink into the horizon outside the window in despair at home.
There is something more despairing than despair.
One night, a drunk man broke into Jiang Hao's house.
Later, one after another, their faces were different, but the same thing was the ugliness and hideousness on their faces.
Jiang Hao tried to ask for help, but his neighbors looked at him with mockery and disdain.
"How could my wife possibly like a bean sprout like you?"
"My dear sister, please at least call him uncle. Why are you slandering him with such open mouth?"
"Don't you want to extort money?"
"We pitied you and helped you a lot, and this is how you repay us? You have no conscience!"
…
Jiang Hao looked at their sarcastic faces with a numb expression.
Don’t they know?
They know.
They had to pretend they didn't know and protect their families, and their anger, which had nowhere to vent, turned into verbal abuse that drowned out Jiang Hao.
Someone in the corner wanted to speak up for Jiang Hao, but he opened his mouth and remained silent in the end.
The advantage of a small town is the neighborhood unity, but the disadvantage for the bullied orphan girl is the neighborhood unity.
Jiang Hao never saw bright and warm sunshine again in his life, only damp darkness followed him like a shadow.
Jiang Hao is like a dehydrated and withered grass in the corner of the wall. No one pays attention to him, no one cares about him, and he is lonely and weak.
So when people started dying one after another in the town, no one suspected her.
After all, a lame girl who can only lie paralyzed in bed, would she kill someone? No one would believe it.
When Mu Ci entered the town, the first thing she felt when she saw Jiang Hao was pity. As a criminal profiler, she came to help solve the case. She accidentally saw a corner of Jiang Hao's tragic life and wanted to pull her out of the quagmire, completely unaware that she was the murderer behind the scenes.
The story begins from here.
Of course, the movie does not reveal Jiang Hao's motive for murder at the beginning. In the first half of the movie, Jiang Hao is just a young girl who looks pitiful and tries her best to help Mu Ci solve the case.
Meng Hanyan was very satisfied with Qiao Zhizheng's interpretation and breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go back and wait for news."
Qiao Zhizheng has already fought for it, and the rest depends on what Meng Hanyan thinks.
Qiao Zhizheng got the role in that competitive variety show without any suspense. Ding Qian said that the production team also invited Du Li, probably to take advantage of the recent popularity of their CP fans online to attract some traffic to the program team.
The only thing left was the audition for the role of a female general in the TV series "Morning and Evening Farewell".
Qiao Zhizheng took a good rest for this audition, and replenished her energy so that she could attend the audition in the most healthy and energetic state.
"Morning and Evening Farewell" is directed by the famous director Wang Jingkang. Wang Jingkang has produced many hit dramas and has a good reputation in the TV circle. Countless actors want to act in his dramas.
The role of the female general occupies a considerable proportion in "Morning and Evening Farewell" and her character is outstanding, so many actors in the circle came to audition.
Ding Qian accompanied Qiao Zhizheng to the audition and saw several actresses who specialized in playing supporting roles waiting outside the door, as well as several actresses of similar status to Qiao Zhizheng.
Qiao Zhizheng's arrival attracted the attention of the actors in the waiting area.
An actress who had met Qiao Zhizheng a few times at events and was quite familiar with her approached her, "Want to try a new style?"
Qiao Zhizheng raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you the same?"
"Hahahaha, fair play, fair play."
Qiao Zhizheng was sitting in the waiting area when a staff member came up to her with a large cardboard box.
"Teacher Qiao, please select a performance clip."
Qiao Zhizheng took out a clip from it, sat on a bench to study it, and kept refining the performance details in his mind in order to present it with the best performance.
Each actor's performance took different lengths of time, and the waiting time was too long. Qiao Zhizheng drank a lot of water and got up to go to the bathroom.
When washing hands after using the toilet, Qiao Zhizheng saw in the mirror that the door of a cubicle behind him was open a crack. A girl wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a mask stared at Qiao Zhizheng with a pair of eyes through the crack.
Qiao Zhizheng became nervous and wondered if she was a stalker or a paparazzi.
Qiao Zhizheng washed off the foam on her hands. The girl who was staring at her found that Qiao Zhizheng had noticed her, so she opened the door and walked behind Qiao Zhizheng.
Qiao Zhizheng took a few steps to the side and looked at her warily, "Who are you?"
At the same time, the girl spoke up, “Don’t act in this drama.”
The radar in Qiao Zhizheng's mind was triggered, and he remembered Qiao Zheng's words -
"Strange girl."
“Don’t act in a certain play.”
Qiao Zhizheng wanted to reach out to pull her, but the girl noticed her movement, turned around quickly, opened the door and ran out.
Qiao Zhizheng chased her out of the door, looked around, but she was no longer outside.
Qiao Zhizheng thought to herself that she was like a nimble rabbit, "You run so fast."
Qiao Zhizheng slapped his head in annoyance and immediately called Qiao Zheng to explain the situation.
Qiao Zheng asked her, "Did you see her face clearly?"
"No."
Qiao Zheng's words were soft, like a sigh, "...it's still like this."
Sensing the worry in Qiao Zheng's words, Qiao Zhizheng took the initiative to ask, "Qiao Zheng, is there something wrong? Is it serious?"
Qiao Zheng's tone became a little hesitant, "Qiao Zhizheng, I want you to do me a favor."
"What kind of help do you want? Is it something I can do right now?"
"…It might be a little dangerous."
Qiao Zhizheng smiled and said, "Have you ever experienced this?"
Qiao Zheng said "Hmm" in a deep voice.
"If you're not afraid, why should I be afraid?"
"This...ah~ maybe just forget it."
"What do you mean by count? Qiao Zheng, tell me now!"
Qiao Zheng has always been decisive in doing things. It is rare for Qiao Zhizheng to see her so concerned and hesitant about something. Qiao Zhizheng vaguely realizes that perhaps through this incident, she can touch the biggest secret in Qiao Zheng's heart, and touch the real Qiao Zheng who has experienced a story that Qiao Zhizheng does not know.
Qiao Zheng was touched by Qiao Zhizheng's determination and relaxed. "Go to the audition and see if there's a strange man there, or if they behave strangely. It would be best if we could know the results of their audition today." After a pause, Qiao Zheng said in a clumsy voice, "Thank you."
Qiao Zhizheng was so moved that she said with deep emotion, "For you, I would go through fire and water without hesitation."

Introduction:
One sentence introduction - Others want my feelings, but you want my life!
As the heroine of the "Attack the Heart" dungeon, which is the most difficult dungeon in the strategy headquarters, Zhuang Tingyu has been the target of countless attempts to conquer her, but all have failed.
Whether it was the relationship between family, friendship, love, teacher-student or master-pet, Zhuang Tingyu remained unmoved and killed countless attackers without mercy.
But one day, the attackers saw her running after a girl.
When the attacker asked Zhuang Tingyu: I have been so good to you, but you remain indifferent. Is your heart made of stone?
Zhuang Tingyu sneered.
Zhuang Tingyu asked Ji Qingdai: I have been so good to you, but you remain indifferent. Is your heart made of stone?
Zhuang Tingyu: It's broken! It's really made of stone.
——
The first time Zhuang Tingyu saw Ji Qingdai was on a rainy day. Zhuang Tingyu leaned against the wall in a mess, wondering which conqueror would come and "save" her in such a miserable scene.
Zhuang Tingyu smiled sarcastically, and a figure appeared before him. Zhuang Tingyu said, "You want my heart too?"
"Um."
"Come and get it yourself if you can."
What kind of redemption will this time be? Gradual progress? Love?
Zhuang Tingyu watched Ji Qingdai take out a dagger that was flashing with cold light and was about to stab her in the chest.
Zhuang Tingyu jumped up suddenly and dodged to the side.
Zhuang Tingyu: No! Other attackers are after my feelings, but this one is after my life.
Ji Qingdai: ??? Didn’t you ask me to get it myself?
Under the guidance of an expert, Ji Qingdai went back to 20 years ago to find Zhuang Tingyu. As long as she got Zhuang Tingyu's heart, Ji Qingdai could replace her mechanical heart and feel the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of a normal person.
She ran, she chased, but they couldn't escape.
"Can a heart made of stone grow flesh and blood?"
