Chapter 61 Audition
Chu Yunshu didn't expect to see Ji Heng in the audition room.
Ji Heng sat next to the director, and it was obvious that he was also here for casting.
Seeing Chu Yunshu looking at him with some surprise, Ji Heng reacted indifferently, but still nodded to Chu Yunshu.
Chu Yunshu also smiled at him and began to introduce himself.
He didn't know that because of Ji Heng's nod and his smile, the other eyes in the room were filled with shock.
This was the first time that Actor Ji showed that he had a personal relationship with someone during an audition.
Even Gu Cong couldn't help but look at Ji Heng, with teasing and inquiry in his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me? Look at him." Ji Heng was not affected by them, and his expression remained the same. "Chu Yunshu, start your performance."
There are actors in the room who are specifically helping with the supporting roles.
After Chu Yunshu said they could start, one of them knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear. Lord Lu is also doing this for the country!"
“Nothing is more valuable than honest advice to sharpen one’s conduct; nothing is worse than slander and flattery to corrupt morality and justice. If the king is unkind, the world will be in unrest and the country will surely perish!” The old minister with white hair knelt on the ground, his voice like thunder.
The young king looked coldly at his minister who was threatening death. There seemed to be a cold sword in his eyes, but his words were light and airy: "Drag him away and kill him."
It's just a life, it's not worth cherishing for him.
"Your Majesty! You are so cruel and inhumane, unable to distinguish right from wrong. The country of Dayu will eventually be destroyed in your hands!" Another gray-haired minister stood up from the ground, his back straight and his eyes bright.
He knew that there was no way he would be able to walk out of the hall alive today, so he was no longer afraid. He looked directly at the king whom he had wanted to support so much, his eyes filled with disappointment and determination.
"You tyrant, you shall die!"
Before Chu Yunshu, several people had tried this scene, but the results, at least for Ji Heng, were not very ideal.
Especially when the plot progresses to this point, almost everyone's performance is to angrily ask the guards to drag the person away, throw him into prison, and execute him on a later day.
There is actually nothing wrong with acting this way. According to the design of the script, this should have been the direction.
But Ji Heng always felt that something was missing.
I thought Chu Yunshu would act like this, but Chu Yunshu, who had his back to the "minister", slowly turned his head, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and he just glanced at them lightly, his eyes were full of indifference and contempt.
The faint sneer at the corner of his mouth portrayed his cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness to the extreme.
It also makes this tyrant, who has few roles and a relatively flat character, more three-dimensional.
He walked to the "dragon throne" and sat down lazily. He glanced at the sword-wielding guard beside him, and his thin lips parted slightly. His voice was as clear and pleasant as a mountain spring, but the words he said chilled people to the bone.
"Kill him."
There was no emotional ups and downs. The king sitting on the "dragon throne" rested his chin on his hand, as if he was bored watching a play that he was not very interested in.
So careless.
The guards took orders and killed them one by one with their swords. Several powerful old ministers died in front of their young and brutal king.
Their king did not even blink from beginning to end. Only after the man was dragged away did he lazily stand up and say, "Return to Xuyang Palace."
The guards followed behind the king, and no one noticed that his hunched shoulders seemed to be pressed down by a heavy hammer.
Chu Yunshu walked to the door and ended his performance.
The first person to applaud was the screenwriter of the play. When Chu Yunshu walked in, her eyes lit up, but she did not doubt whether such a good-looking boy would be unsuitable to play a tyrant.
Because the aura Chu Yunshu displayed when he walked in was very kingly.
And Chu Yunshu's performance just now also confirmed her feeling.
Originally, she agreed with the performance style of the previous few people. The tyrannical king would not tolerate others telling him what to do, and he could not tolerate anyone scolding him in front of him, so he would be furious, roar, and lose control of his emotions.
That’s how drama is always presented.
But Chu Yunshu's performance made him see the emotions that naturally flow from a king. He had been on the throne for too long, had killed too many people, and had heard too many insults. He no longer lost his temper over these things.
In his hands, human life is nothing more than an object thrown on the table.
He won't care.
That careless laziness used in killing is more silent than words and more brutal.
Gu Cong and Ji Heng did not make any comments on Chu Yunshu's performance, but when Chu Yunshu finished his performance, they looked at each other and saw the word "satisfaction" in each other's eyes.
Chu Yunshu was told to go back and wait for the results, and then left the audition room.
Before leaving, he glanced at Ji Heng, not on purpose, but he just looked over unconsciously. Unexpectedly, she happened to meet Ji Heng's eyes.
It was difficult for him to describe Ji Heng's eyes. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but they were always so deep that it was difficult to see the emotions inside.
No wonder his fans describe his eyes as a deep pool full of secrets, charming and dangerous.
Their eyes met, Chu Yunshu smiled again, then turned and left.
Gu Cong raised his eyebrows, put down the pen in his hand, crossed his arms and winked at Ji Heng. Ji Heng pretended not to see it and said very conscientiously: "Let the next one come in."
Fu Lin was waiting for him outside. When she saw Chu Yunshu coming out, she immediately went to greet him: "How is it? What did the director say to me... and Mr. Ji?"
Chu Yunshu answered without asking: "Is Actor Ji also going to act in this drama?"
“Of course, Gu Cong’s movies are all big productions, and only big names like Mr. Ji can play the leading roles.” Fu Lin said with pride and honor.
Chu Yunshu paused: "But, didn't you say you were the lead actor in this movie?"
"Yes." Fu Lin said as a matter of course, "I am the leading actor."
Chu Yunshu was a little confused. He pointed in the direction of the audition room and said, "But, but Ji Heng is not..."
"Oh, Mr. Ji?" Fu Lin understood what he meant. "Mr. Ji is a super leading actor. In a movie with him, even if he plays the second or third male lead, he is still the leading actor."
Being able to act in a movie with Ji Heng in which he has a considerable role is really no different from being the leading actor, and both are remembered by the audience.
"By the way, if you pass the audition, you will have a scene opposite Mr. Ji." Fu Lin looked very excited. "He is the new king who cut off your hands and feet."
Chu Yunshu: “…”
This rivalry is really a rivalry.
Fu Lin invited Chu Yunshu to lunch. Because he had not yet received the result of the audition, Fu Lin firmly refused Chu Yunshu's invitation: "I told you to wait until you pass the audition before inviting me."
During the meal, Fu Lin told Chu Yunshu that "Hegemony" had been completed and was now rushing to do the post-production: "They want to broadcast it during the winter vacation."
