"It was a birthday gift from Susan's godfather, and she loved it. She said she saw angels in it. I don't know if this child's imagination is too vivid. Personally, I don't really like it. Art is subjective, I guess," Director Carlo said nonchalantly.
After the photo was unlocked, Director Carlo, Susan, and Xia Yixin took a picture together. Of course, it cannot be released to the public yet; it was just to fulfill Susan's wish.
Little Susan was very shy, but when she saw Xia Yixin, her eyes were full of stars, which made Director Carlo a little jealous. Later, it was her nanny who came and lured the child away with her favorite cheeseburger.
The following filming segment is too dangerous for children to be present.
Before Director Carlo went to greet Zhen Ying and the others, he looked at the beautiful young girl dressed in a black outfit and exclaimed, "You will definitely be a very good mother in the future."
"Uh, thank you." Xia Yixin didn't know why the other party suddenly said that, but Director Carlo had already gone to the other side.
After all, they are seniors and juniors; Zhang Ziyi auditioned first.
Xia Yixin finally had time to sort out her thoughts. The painting she saw today made her feel as if she had grasped something... a painting of an angel...?
She remembered that she had pieced together ten of Zhao Jie's sixteen paintings at the science museum before, and it seemed that there really was something hidden in them. Regardless of whether her intuition was right or not, she immediately used her phone to search for relevant buying and selling information.
Ten of them were bought by a collector at the science museum, and of the remaining six, five, except for Susan's, had known buyers.
Fortunately, Baidu has a powerful image search function. She put a publicly available painting into the similarity search and found relevant information. Many of the paintings were posted on Twitter or Weibo to show off, because the painting was quite valuable.
Then, she saw a familiar label: [Liu De]!
He was the son of the mastermind behind the science museum incident who died. His Weibo post read "#Thank you for the birthday gift from the big boss#", and shortly after this post came the news of Liu De's suicide!
Is this a coincidence?
Xia Yixin continued scrolling down, and after a lot of useless information, she saw that Old Master Zhao also had a painting in his collection at home.
Then, surprisingly, a branch of the Qin family also boasted on Twitter that they had bought a painting at an auction.
The last two images contain no information.
Xia Yixin quickly searched the exhibition details page of the science museum and found photos of the ten paintings in miniature. She mentally placed the other three paintings in the images and rearranged them several times. She vaguely saw the outline of a person with wings.
She really is an angel!
Little Susan was right; hers was the clearest edge of a wing.
But just one angel doesn't prove anything; perhaps it really is some kind of art?
However, at this moment, a news item caught her attention; it was one of the results found by searching based on the shape of the painting.
[A psychologist has analyzed why Zhao Jie's paintings sell so well, and it turns out it's related to psychological suggestion?]
Perhaps because Zhao Jie suddenly rose to fame rapidly in the past year, and her painting style changed from before, some psychological experts analyzed that she used psychological suggestion in her paintings. However, they had no evidence. The only basis was that a man who bought one of her paintings killed his whole family and said that the demon in the painting had seduced him.
To date, Zhao Jie has sold over a hundred paintings besides "Desperate Rebirth." If there is something hidden in these paintings, it would be a truly terrifying thing.
But she felt that, regardless of whether the connection between the painting, Li De, and the science museum was a coincidence, she had to tell Lu Yan in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
However, just as she was about to make the call, she remembered that he should be on a plane, so she put it aside for the time being, and besides, she had to go to her audition.
The audition was simple: one scene was about literature, the other about martial arts, but the two scenes were connected.
The story is roughly about the female protagonist Mulan discovering that her sworn brother is a lackey of a villain. The two first have a chase scene, followed by a dialogue scene after they dismount, which is meant to express Mulan's anger and heartbreak at being betrayed.
Director Carlo selected two of the most docile horses, and Zhang Ziyi mounted one and picked up the prop spear.
To ensure authenticity, the props were also carefully crafted. More than thirty spears were made for Mulan, but they were all hollow and unsharpened.
Even so, it still has some weight to it, especially when shooting close-ups, so you'll need to switch to something heavier.
As expected, Zhang Ziyi completed her audition perfectly, and Zhen Yingxiong also cooperated very well.
But director Carlo frowned slightly as he looked at the presented footage. It was because it was too perfect and the teamwork was too seamless that there was nothing particularly outstanding or exciting.
Many Chinese actors are formally trained, so their performances tend to be somewhat "stereotypical" and lack individuality.
Consequently, Director Carlo also had less expectation for Xia Yixin, who was about to appear on stage.
If the older generation is like this, how can the younger generation be any better?
There was a little incident before Xia Yixin went on stage. Little Susan somehow ran away from the nanny, looking like she really wanted to watch Xia Yixin audition. Later, the nanny hugged her, stroked her head a couple of times, and said, "You have to be good." Only then did she leave.
Before leaving, he told Xia Yixin to keep going.
Xia Yixin had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Xia Yixin also greeted Zhen Yingxiong.
Director Carlo, seeing that the two were ready, shouted "ACION!"
Both actors are skilled in acting and martial arts. Director Carlo watched as the two sped past each other on horseback, their movements swift and agile as they fought on horseback.
