Mo Shaoqing stepped forward to draw lots, opened the note, and breathed a sigh of relief.
This is not a particularly difficult segment, but one of the four major tragedies of Shakespeare, the famous writer of country Y during the Renaissance—"The Merchant of Venice".
He had read it before because of his academic needs. Later, when he went to country B, he found that there was a large study room in Ans's house. The bookshelves a few meters high were full of original works. He read it again, and Ans corrected his pronunciation for him.
So this drama is still very simple for him. Really lucky! But Mo Shaoqing didn't dare to slack off at all, he probably scanned all the text, and this is also a very classic segment.
He cleared his throat and began to read:
"Do people have to kill everything they don't like?"
Then the voice changed, the line of voice changed, as if it had become another person: "Which person would hate something he is unwilling to kill?"
"The first offense shouldn't lead to hatred."
"What! Will you be bitten twice by a viper?"
Mo Shaoqing read very seriously and devoted himself, so he didn't see the directors in the jury nodding frequently.
It's just that Mo Shaoqing was stopped in the middle of reading.
Li Su put down his pen, and said seriously to Mo Shaoqing, "I have a few questions for you!"
"Um."
"Have you learned Y language before? It has a very special flavor."
"yes!"
"Very good!" A foreign judge commented.
"Although it's not marked, I still know that this is a conversation between Bassanio and Sherlock. It's full of conflict, and your emotions are well grasped." Li Su said.
"It's said that you didn't study acting specifically, but you studied music in college?"
Mo Shaoqing was a little anxious, he knew that these great directors value qualifications very much.
"Yes, but I have been studying since I joined the company."
"Don't worry." Li Su said with a smile, "It's just a general understanding."
"Do you know what type of movie we are going to shoot this time?"
"I don't know!" Mo Shaoqing said honestly, Li Su's director style is quite changeable, and he has also filmed cartoons... So this time, he really doesn't know.
"Hehe, that's all right, you go to draw a lottery and play a part! You can go down and get ready."
Mo Shaoqing stepped forward to draw a note, opened it, and there was only one sentence on it: Showing fear and unwillingness in the face of death.
Fear and unwillingness? die
Mo Shaoqing did not start the performance immediately, but went to the lounge next door to prepare.
Actually... I was too nervous just now, and sitting on the chair is still a bit like a dream, so... Has he passed the first test
But…
Mo Shaoqing picked up the note, death? Is this an art film
Fear and unwillingness
If it's fear, then the frightened expression is really the best, but in fact, many artists don't know the difference between fright and fear, so they always open their eyes or stare when they perform!
And the difficulty of this episode is not here, the difficulty lies in not explaining the plot before and after, not knowing why he died, not knowing why he was afraid, and why he was unwilling!
Mo Shaoqing fell into deep thought.
What are you most afraid of
fear? Yes, at the moment of the car accident, he thought he would never find his biological parents again, he was unwilling, he hated...
Mo Shaoqing closed his eyes and brought himself into his previous life, only then did he realize that this scene seemed to be still yesterday. Even if the present life is happy, he will never forget it.
He still remembers the moment when the truck drove over, he wanted to stop it, but the driver hit the fence while making a sharp turn, and then another huge impact made his head go numb, and when he regained consciousness, he was pinned down in the narrow car inside.
He heard the screams of passers-by, and the siren of a police car.
He wanted to speak, but a steady stream of blood stained his eyes red.
At that moment, the entire vision turned bright red, tears mixed with blood spread on the asphalt road, and finally deeply imprinted on the ground.
The overwhelming pain made him tremble all over, and he shouted softly: "Save-me-save-"
But no one heard his slight cry, his eyes gradually dimmed, and gradually lost focus...

"OK, CUT—" Li Su and Yazawa Juncheng looked back and forth at the shot just taken three times, and the tacit understanding for many years made them smile at each other.
Mo Shaoqing was immediately helped up by the assistant, then took the water and towel handed over, and walked to Li Su and Yazawa.
"Director Li, Director Yazawa, how is this scene?"
"Okay, very good! Shaoqing, you are really very talented."
Li Su played back the scene shot in the camera, and the pure black eyes of the handsome young man reflected a zombie human walking towards him. He watched the zombie bite his neck like this, with some Fear, but was quickly occupied by unwillingness, and more disappointment... Slowly, he closed his eyes, and a satisfied smile rose from the corner of his mouth.
"I decided to hire you only after watching your audition." Li Su patted Mo Shaoqing's shoulder in relief. It's really like the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and now the new generation in China actually has such acting skills.
Mo Shaoqing didn't dare to take credit for it. The fact that he was able to shoot so well this time was entirely due to empathy.
Li Su thought he was modest and appreciated this young man even more.
It is said that half a month ago, Mo Shaoqing moved the judges present with such a scene.
In fact, his acting was not good enough at that time, because there was no plot foreshadowing, so it was a bit empty.
But now, after reading the whole script, he can understand the hero's feelings better.
When Li Su told him that this time he was going to shoot a disaster film, Mo Shaoqing was a little surprised. Isn't it a traditional heroic film in country A
However, there have been many disaster films in recent years. For example, when rumors of the end of the world were rampant a few days ago, there was a blockbuster film - "201X". That scene, that special effect, is really shocking.
Later, zombie films became very popular again and were enthusiastically sought after by young audiences.
In the past, there were directors in China who made disaster films after earthquakes, and they were so touching that they made enough tears.
But Mo Shaoqing knew that Li Su, a Chinese who could make a living in Hollywood where white people were everywhere, must be extraordinary.
Sure enough, the plot of this movie is not traditionally touching or scary.
This movie is called "seek". It tells the story of a young man who is looking for his dream and is hired by the national research institute of country A after graduating from country B.
Here he met a beautiful wife, and the two met and got married. It was originally a very happy thing, but it was broken one day.
The continent where they lived began a large-scale outbreak of influenza. As with all flus, it starts with a fever, cough and cold, but gradually, they will start to vomit, lose their appetite, and eventually they will start to grow strong and thirsty for blood.
That is to say, they have become zombie-like characters, but if this is the case, then this movie is no different from traditional zombie movies.
But the strange thing is that the infected people are different from zombies. Although they have the desire to suck blood and their personalities become brutal, they are still conscious, which means they are still human.
This is scary, it means ZF can't treat them like monsters, kill them all, only isolate them.
Few people were infected at the beginning, because patients who were infected with a virus like a certain code were isolated in the hospital.
Later, it was discovered that the infected people would have the symptoms of a desire to suck blood and the infection, the country dispatched the army and began to isolate these people inhumanely, such as driving them to the forest...
Later, the ZF found that this was not possible. In the forest, these people could still survive on the blood of animals, so they had to be placed in an abandoned quarantine area.
Everyone knows that as long as they are infected, they will be quarantined, and they are the only ones in the quarantine area. Yes, ZF wants them to kill each other.
But among these people there are also soldiers and even officials. They are conscious and must protect themselves. Then they established their own regimes. Two regimes composed of human beings began to confront each other, each occupying half of the country.
But the bad situation is that there are fewer and fewer normal people, and those who are infected can only go to another "country", so although normal people have weapons, there are many infected people...
*****
In fact, most of the Chinese people play supporting roles in all foreign movies, and some of them are funny roles, just for the sake of being funny.
And the character he played in this play actually married a beautiful and generous wife from country A.
Mo Shaoqing's image in the play is also handsome, knowledgeable, humorous and good at cooking. The Tang he plays will soon be with the heroine Lilith.
Lilith, who plays the heroine, is a Hollywood movie star—Valentina Smith, but there are too many Hollywood stars and too many beautiful ones, so Fan Lun is not well-known.
Mo Shaoqing was very satisfied with all of Li Su's arrangements. First of all, although Valentina Smith was famous, she was not so famous that when the movie was released, everyone only watched the heroine.
Of course, this also means that the plot of the movie has to be really good to attract audiences. He is not worried about this at all, he believes that this movie will have a good reputation.
He is also very satisfied with the setting of this role. Unlike those heroic male protagonists, he is very affectionate and more dedicated. At the same time, it is also a very righteous character, in short, very charming.
Although what he performed just now was actually the last scene, but in fact, it has only been half a month since the filming started.
It's only August now, and the weather in M state is very hot. They are filming in the so-called quarantine area. All the scenes in Hollywood are built on real sets, so this quarantine area is not only huge but also really desolate. Mo Shaoqing can only talk to Fan Lun stayed in a shed with drafts on all sides, which meant that there was no air conditioning...
