Cheng Xia also knows that it is much more difficult than "Qin Nian" to win the role of an intern criminal policeman. Although "Folding Paper" is invested by Tianxuan, it is still a campus web drama and a star in the entertainment industry. They wouldn't even act in such a youth idol web drama.
But "The Traces of Disappearance" is different. The main creator of this show is a very prestigious suspense drama production team in the circle. The several suspense dramas that Director Zhu has shot before have a very good reputation. In the hearts of audiences who like suspense dramas, Zhu Guidance is the guarantee of quality.
Because of some bloody and violent plots, this "Gone Trace" was unable to pass the trial by the TV station, and it also followed the route of a web drama. First-tier stars will not break their heads for the protagonists of niche criminal investigation dramas, but for second-tier and third-tier stars, this kind of drama is the best springboard for transitioning from idols to elites. It is conceivable that the audition scene at that time will definitely be crowded and the competition will be fierce.
Zhou Yan was completely clueless. She gritted her teeth and asked nervously, "Mr. Pei, Cheng Xia is not competing with Omega actors this time, but with countless Alpha actors... He doesn't have much advantage, right?"
Pei Shaoze thought, I am his advantage.
Of course, this can't be said directly, Pei Shaoze said calmly: "Zhu Zheng, the director, has a decent style and is very assertive. He doesn't care about the reputation and status of the other party when he sees the actors, but only sees whether the actor Fu fits the character image in his mind. Before. The trilogy of "Criminal Investigation Files" has already used new actors, and the effect is not bad, so we Cheng Xia are not completely out of opportunities. Besides, it is also good for Cheng Xia to participate in auditions more. It is a surprise to be selected, If you don’t get selected, it’s just an experience.”
Zhou Yan nodded immediately: "President Pei is right, then I will prepare well when I go back."
Pei Shaoze snorted and handed her the schedule: "The audition will be on June 1st. Actors participating in the audition should send an email to sign up in advance. You can go back and make a personal introduction document of Cheng Xia and send it to their crew's mailbox."
Zhou Yan quickly took over the schedule and left the office with Cheng Xia.
She was very puzzled. In fact, Cheng Xia's first drama has not been broadcast yet, and it is still a "little transparent". Will President Pei let Cheng Xia audition for the second drama too soon? It is estimated that it is to enrich Cheng Xia's experience? In any case, President Pei's arrangements still have to be listened to. Zhou Yan turned around and began to prepare materials, inquired around for news, and told Cheng Xia to read the script carefully.
Cheng Xia started reading the script after returning home.
This is the final script that has been revised. The crew originally wanted Shu Yue to play the male lead, Lynch, so they sent the script to Shu Yue's manager, and the contract was about to be signed. As a result, Shu Yue retired and his manager Xu Sitong While busy apologizing to the crew, he reported the matter to Pei Shaoze, and it was because of this that Pei Shaoze discovered this treasure by accident and wanted Cheng Xia to try the second male lead in the play.
He has already read the script, and it has the potential to be a fire. If done well, it can even become a benchmark in suspense dramas.
The main line of the drama "Gone Trace" revolves around an unsolved case.
Xu Ziyang, a young criminal police officer who just graduated from the police force, went to his uncle's house for dinner on the weekend to celebrate his birthday. His uncle asked him to stay tonight, but he went out in the middle of the night because his good buddies in the police academy called him to have a party. As a result, that night, the uncle's family of four were all killed, and the family was brutally exterminated, but no trace was left at the scene of the crime.
When Xu Ziyang was very young, his parents had a car accident, and his uncle brought him up. He was extremely remorseful and remorseful, and wanted to catch the murderer himself, but he was only an intern criminal policeman, and out of the principle of "relatives avoid suspicion", the police force of course He will not be allowed to participate in the investigation of the case. Xu Ziyang had no choice but to investigate the clues secretly, and because of this, he had an intersection with Lin Qi, a professor of forensic medicine who lived opposite his uncle's house.
The sunny, upright and impulsive police academy student Xu Ziyang, and the gentle and wise 30-year-old forensic professor Lin Qi, the interaction between the two protagonists is very interesting, and the main case is also very brain-burning. of a cat. The high-IQ murderer who killed his entire family lives in the same community and has been secretly watching the two of them...
Cheng Xia looked horrified - the screenwriter teacher was too awesome, and the ultimate murderer of this drama surprised the audience. The setting of "the murderer is by your side" will also make the atmosphere of the whole drama particularly terrifying. The high-IQ murderer erased all traces of the scene, and the two without any evidence, how can they find the real murderer
Xu Ziyang's personality is very clear. He has the impulsive blood of a young policeman, but he has a pure heart of "the truth is never absent". The tragic death of his uncle's family hit him extremely hard, but he still cheered up as quickly as possible. Actively cooperate with the forensic protagonist to investigate the case.
Cheng Xia particularly likes the role of Xu Ziyang. The atmosphere of the whole drama is gloomy and terrifying. It is a suspense drama without any emotional drama. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether he plays an Alpha or an Omega. He only needs to play the young policeman's righteous Ling Ran and sunny and bloody personality. .
Cheng Xia read the script several times, carefully trying to figure out the psychology of the characters.
At this moment, Pei Shaoze suddenly sent a message: "How does the script look?"
Cheng Xia picked up the phone and replied seriously: "I've finished watching it. I like Xu Ziyang's character very much, but... I don't have much confidence in playing him well. I feel like I can't play the temperament of a police academy student?"
Pei Shaoze said: "Don't rush to question yourself, I will take you to a place tomorrow."
Cheng Xia wondered, "Where are you going?"
Pei Shaoze: "Police Academy."
Cheng Xia: "..."
What role to play, you must first understand his living environment! Isn't it the best way to play a police academy student who has just graduated and go to the police academy to observe it? President Pei is really wise!
Cheng Xia typed excitedly: "That's great, I've never known how to act as a police academy student, and I don't have such friends around me. Go to the police academy and you should be able to find a lot of inspiration!"
Pei Shaoze sent a voice: "Well, it's almost twelve o'clock. Go to bed first. Wait for me downstairs at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll pick you up."
Listening to the low male voice coming from the phone, Cheng Xia got into the bed happily, closed his eyes and listened to it several times - it was a blissful thing to let his favorite Alpha's voice accompany him to sleep. .

Early the next morning, Pei Shaoze asked Uncle Zhong to park the car in the underground garage of the artist's apartment, and sent a message to Cheng Xia: "Go to the first floor."
The weather in Rongcheng in May had become hot. Cheng Xia was wearing jeans, a short-sleeved white T, a mask and a hat. He took the elevator to the negative floor and saw President Pei's black car at a glance.
Pei Shaoze opened the car door: "Come up."
Cheng Xia walked over quickly and sat in the back row, Pei Shaoze put down the soundproof baffle of the front driver's seat, and closed the curtains in the back row.
The space in the back is very spacious, but there are only two people sitting there, Mr. Pei and him, and when the curtains are drawn, the car looks extraordinarily quiet, with warm lights pouring down, and the atmosphere is quite ambiguous. Although Mr. Pei would now politely spray Alpha pheromone masking agent, Cheng Xia could not help but be nervous when he was alone in a confined space with an Alpha male.
Cheng Xia's heart skipped a beat when she met Alpha's dark eyes, and she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Just the two of us?"
Pei Shaoze raised his eyebrows lightly: "It's not shopping, do you want to call more people?"
Cheng Xia blushed: "No no, I will listen to President Pei's arrangement."
The corners of Pei Shaoze's lips raised slightly, and his voice softened: "The police academy is not a place where anyone can go in. I asked a small helper to allow me to take you to observe in private. Today I will go to see the police academy first. The daily training of students will help you find inspiration for acting.”
Cheng Xia nodded seriously: "Well, thank you, Mr. Pei."
Uncle Zhong started the car, and the black car slowly drove out of the artist's apartment and merged into the traffic on the street.
Because the curtains were drawn, Cheng Xia couldn't see the scene outside the window, and his eyes drifted to Pei Shaoze involuntarily. There is a small table in front of the seat where a laptop can be placed. At this time, Pei Shaoze's computer is turned on. The man leans against the back of the chair with a calm expression.
Alpha, who works seriously, looks handsome no matter how you look at it. Cheng Xia didn't dare to disturb him, so he secretly looked at him. Pei Shaoze noticed the glances of the teenagers beside him from time to time, so he took the initiative to say: "You know, why did I let you try a role like Alpha police?"
Cheng Xia thought about it and asked, "Do you want me to broaden my acting career?"
Pei Shaoze nodded and said solemnly: "Most of the Omega actors who want to climb to the top will be like Shu Yue, who will interpret a style to the extreme. When the audience thinks of him, they all know that he is a gentle Omega. However, I don't want you to take this single route. A really good actor should be competent in various roles, hone your acting skills, and let the audience ignore that you are an Omega and deeply remember the classic characters you have created. In this way, Your future development prospects will be even brighter.”
Listening to his gentle voice, Cheng Xia's heart seemed to be surrounded by a warm current.
In this world, no one will care so much about his dreams and career. Pei Shaoze is simply an Alpha!
It was found that the young man's eyes were looking at him clearly, and those eyes even had their own projections like the surface of a lake.
Pei Shaoze's heart softened, and his eyes became more gentle: "As a newcomer, you are indeed inexperienced, but your talent and hard work are unmatched by many people. Believe in yourself, okay?"
Cheng Xia nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"
After reading the script last night, he also had some doubts about himself. After all, he is a newcomer. The drama just finished has not been broadcast yet, and he does not know how the response will be. How can he compete with so many second- and third-tier actors for an Alpha trainee police officer? character of? Others will laugh out loud when they hear it!
But now, Pei Shaoze's words suddenly filled Cheng Xia's heart with strength.
Regardless of whether he can be selected in the end, his Alpha will accompany him on this journey, he is not working alone!
***
The car soon drove to the police academy, and Pei Shaoze took Cheng Xia into the gate of the police academy.
The solemn door in front of him made Cheng Xia nervous. Pei Shaoze saw his unease, put his hand on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I have already contacted the instructor of the police academy. Let's go to the training ground first."
After arriving at the training ground, an instructor walked over quickly and said with a smile, "Are you President Pei? Qin Yu told me, but I didn't expect you to be so serious about making a drama, and you still have to come to the field for inspection. what!"
Pei Shaoze politely stretched out his hand and shook hands with him: "Hello, Instructor Lin." Then he brought Cheng Xia in front of him: "This is what I said about Cheng Xia, a very good rookie actor, he is going to play a freshman. As a graduate of the police academy, I will take him to visit."
Instructor Lin said: "No problem, you come with me."
The young instructor Beta, who had tanned skin and a bright smile, acted as a tour guide, taking the two around the police academy and introducing them to the daily life of the police academy students.
Cheng Xia looked around curiously and excitedly.
Unlike ordinary schools, where there are slapstick students and couples walking hand in hand, the atmosphere of the police academy is very strict. All the students wear uniforms. The temperament of justice and grace that he has cultivated through years of training seems to be emanating from his bones. They were all of the same age, Cheng Xia looked at them, couldn't help feeling ashamed, and straightened his back involuntarily when walking.
After the instructor took them around the school, they came to a shooting training room. Cheng Xia looked at a row of black firearms with bright eyes. Pei Shaoze whispered a few words in the ear of the instructor. Instructor Lin immediately laughed. He walked over and said, "Cheng Xia, do you want to try it?"
Cheng Xia was stunned and flattered: "I won't! I've never touched a gun..."
The instructor laughed: "Don't be afraid, this gun doesn't have live ammunition, it is loaded with training ammunition for students to practice. Come on, try it out."
He walked behind Cheng Xia and gave Cheng Xia a very simple demonstration of the shooting action. After all, Cheng Xia held a gun for the first time, his fingers were unstable, and a bullet strayed directly from the bull's-eye. where.
Cheng Xia looked at the "0 ring" displayed on the screen, and asked in a low voice, "I obviously hit it?"
The instructor couldn't stop laughing next to him: "This child is too cute, how did he aim at the target next door!"
Cheng Xia: "..."
Did he hit the target next door
Pei Shaoze raised his lips lightly, took the gun from Cheng Xia's hand, and narrowed his eyes slightly—a gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit the bullseye.
Actually hit a 9.8 ring.
Cheng Xia couldn't believe it, and the instructor was stunned: "Mr. Pei, do you actually know how to play with guns?"
Pei Shaoze said lightly: "As a hobby, when I'm stressed, I often go to the shooting gallery to practice."
That's one of his hobbies in the real world. He doesn't have anyone he likes to accompany him, and he doesn't want to have too many entanglements with the stars in the circle who want to rely on him. Pei Shaoze has been single for many years, and I don't know when he fell in love with "shooting". He likes to go to the shooting gallery for a few hours to relax and decompress when he is upset at work.
Over the past few years, he has almost reached a professional level in terms of his gun-holding gestures and his shooting accuracy.
Cheng Xia looked at Pei Shaoze with admiration.
Pei Shaoze liked that the young boy looked at him with such adoring eyes, and that look made him soft-hearted. Pei Shaoze put down his gun, leaned into Cheng Xia's ear and said, "The police academy is strictly managed, and we can't stay here too long. If you're interested, I'll take you to the shooting gallery when you have time, and I'll teach you personally?"
