All the agents and assistants stayed outside and waited.
Ji Li and Zhang also walked into the inner room of the audition side by side, only to find that there is something hidden inside.
The area of the inner room is no less than 50 square meters, but it is no longer the simple and plain outer hall, but simulated the layout of the shooting scene—
The blood-stained rock wall is cold and cold, and the ground made of mud is covered with broken limbs and bones, and strange flowers of the past bloom from the cracks in the bones.
This is a hell that has been soaked in blood all year round, and it is also the habitat of Chen Yi after he escaped from the 'God and Buddha' and was sealed.
The staff closed the door to block out all the noise. Director Xu Cheng and others sat in the most marginal row of seats.
In addition, there are two experienced photographers who are responsible for fixing the camera position and following the camera position respectively.
This audition is to preserve the image.
"Have you watched all the audition clips?" Director Xu Cheng decided to ask, "One person plays two roles, and you have to challenge each other's actors, is there a problem?"
"No problem." Xu Yanzhi said calmly.
Ji Li nodded, thinking that the audition method this time was quite interesting.
According to the outline of the audition clip—
After Chen Yi went down to earth that year, the divine power of Buddhism has not faded away, and the bloodthirsty killings in the past century have also greatly increased his demonic power, and his cultivation has far exceeded the control range of the four ways.
The gods and Buddhas who learned the truth panicked, fearing that Chen would kill the heavens and expose their despicable deeds of the "National Blood Sacrifice", so they teamed up to activate the ancient illusory formation.
They trapped Chen Yi in it, forcibly separated two completely different soul bodies, and let them kill each other.
Gods, Buddhas and demons have been incompatible since ancient times.
This scene is essentially a confrontation between the 'Holy Monk Chen Yi' and the 'Monster Monk Chen Yi', and it depends on who can suppress the other.
One person playing two roles means to grasp the two extremes of the same role in a short period of time.
When Ji Li plays the role of "Monk", he can ask Zhang Ye or Xu Yanzhi to play his opposite "Saint Monk", and vice versa.
When an actor is acting, he will be contaminated with the character's aura, and whichever side's aura becomes weaker and suppressed will basically determine the outcome.
Director Seo Sung's audition method is wonderful.
The opponent in the play is also your competitor. You must not only learn to cooperate, but also learn to suppress the other party with the sense of drama.
This kind of situation can stimulate the desire and potential of the actors to win and lose, and create a better sense of tension in the drama.
"I didn't completely frame your audition lines. You can play your lines freely if it fits the character settings." Screenwriter Lan Lingmeng said.
She is looking forward to this audition more than anyone else. After polishing the script of "Monk" for so long, Chen Yi's character design is definitely the most eye-catching existence.
Chen Yi wants to be pure and pure, compassionate to the world and human beings, but also to be evil and charming, and kill fiercely.
Screenwriter Lan Lingmeng found it unprecedentedly difficult to describe these two attributes with writing.
For the next filming, the actors have to convert the text into a three-dimensional image, and there is no sense of contradiction. The difficulty is not easy.
During the project meeting beforehand, all the top executives of the production company decided that if Chen Yi could find a suitable actor, the success of the film would be more than half.
Xu Cheng glanced at the time, "I'll give you 20 minutes to prepare, and there are some shooting props on the side, you can use them."
"Alright Director Xu."
The three of them prepared for each other, and Ji Li walked quietly to a corner to wait.
He quickly digested the lines in the script, closed his eyes and silently acted, and constructed in his mind any scenes that might appear next.
With the last minute left, Zhang Ye and Xu Yanzhi were already selecting props. Ji Li was not in a hurry, but looked at the shooting location.
Preparation time flies by.
Director Xu Cheng asked, "Which one of you wants to start first?"
"Director Xu, I want to start first." Zhang Ye raised his hand unexpectedly, while silently looking at Xu Yanzhi beside him from the corner of his eye.
Among the three, he has the least shooting experience and has never experienced such an audition.
Instead of being chosen by others anxiously, it is better to firmly grasp the initiative by yourself, so as to avoid excessive pressure and malfunction.
Xu Cheng smiled appreciatively at his courage, "Okay, then who do you want to play with you?"
"Xu Yanzhi." After Zhang Ye said this, he looked at Ji Li with a little apology.
If Xu Yanzhi is really the male protagonist as Chen Ge said, Zhang also wants to make himself "dead" more clearly—
If he can't compare, then Xu Yanzhi will be considered the male lead, and he will definitely be convinced.
If he can beat it, even if he doesn't get a movie role, he doesn't feel regretful or regretful.
Ji Li accepted Zhang Ye's apology, and stepped aside calmly. He completely understood the other party's thoughts.
"Yan Zhi, do you agree?" the casting director asked.
Xu Yanzhi seemed to be a man of few words, and simply nodded, "Okay."
The two quickly determined their respective roles, Zhang Ye played the holy monk, and Xu Yanzhi played his opponent, the demon monk.
The corners of Ji Li's mouth rose slightly. It has to be said that Zhang is also very smart.
He understands his own strengths, and he is one of the few actors who breaks into the second round of interviews by relying on his 'Holy Monk' appearance.
In the first round of the show, he decisively chose a character image that is beneficial to him. If the temperament is right, he will appropriately reduce the difficulty of character creation.
But his choice also helped Xu Yanzhi, after all, the other party thought that he had a lot of experience in creating characters like "evil beauty".
Although it was just an audition, director Xu Cheng made it very formal, the camera was in place, and the monitor for receiving the stare was turned on.
"Action!"
With one order, the audition began.
…
Zhang Ye held the beads in front of him with one hand, and slowly turned the Buddhist beads with the other. His indifferent and fearless eyes fixed on Xu Yanzhi's face.
"Amitabha, you have committed too many murders, so finish it yourself. If you don't want to, I will send you off with my own hands."
When the light fell, his calm expression was reflected more clearly, he really looked like a holy monk who was detached from the world.
The casting director saw his gesture and nodded unconsciously.
He has seen all the audition actors' saint monk looks, and Zhang Ye has the pure youthful feeling they want, so he is one of the most suitable actors.
Unexpectedly, now he can play the role of the holy monk a hundred years later.
Xu Cheng didn't express his opinion, and his eyes were unconsciously fixed on Xu Yanzhi.
Although the other party was his nephew, he decided on the male lead of the movie without going through the back door.
What Xu Cheng wants has always been real acting skills.
Soon, Xu Yanzhi made a move.
He imitated Zhang Ye's posture and stood his palms in front of his chest. In the next second, a sly smile appeared on the side of his lips, and a sinister look appeared on his pious face.
"Holy Monk, I have committed murder with my hands, do you think you can get away with it?"
Obviously he doesn't like to talk, but when he acts, he completely changes himself.
Probably because of the debut of the child star, Xu Yanzhi's lines are very good, and the words that are vaguely in the lips and teeth make people feel creepy.
"The five precepts of Buddhism, lying, killing, drinking and meat, stealing, lust... I have done almost all of them, so I deserve to die?"
Every time Xu Yanzhi recited a precept, he would take a step forward. He seemed to deliberately control the strength, and his steps were so light that there was no sound.
Ji Li noticed this subtle movement, and there was a trace of appreciation in his eyes.
The footsteps were eerily quiet.
He is not like a mortal, but like a god and Buddha, and more like a ghost who sneaks in silently and tries to take his life.
"Born from the same root, I deserve to die, what about you?"
Xu Yanzhi stood in front of Zhang Ye, tilted his head slightly, and his eyes revealed a trace of evil, "Why don't I watch you kill yourself first? How about it?"
Zhang Ye's mind was concentrated, and he still pretended to be calm, "It's a bunch of nonsense."
Xu Yanzhi caught his loophole and smiled even colder, "Damn it's never me, it's Mantian gods and Buddhas. What? You want to stand among them again?"
"Don't forget that when the Su Dynasty was destroyed, it was to help you get the Tao. It was you who couldn't accept this fact that made me."
"In the past hundred years, everyone who saw me had to die. You want to be one of them, don't you?"
Xu Yanzhi's aura suddenly exploded, and Zhang couldn't help but retreat back involuntarily due to the blackness all over his body.
He stepped on the 'white bone' and made a loud bang, and the flour-based props instantly shattered into powder.
Just this one, the outcome is decided.
Ji Li's eyes fell on the powder on the soles of Zhang Ye's feet, and a faint light flashed in his eyes.
Xu Cheng shook his head, a little regretful.
To be honest, Zhang Ye's acting skills are aura, but it's a pity that he lacks experience and cannot fully integrate his temperament with the role.
This is an unavoidable situation for every newcomer, commonly known as 'difficulty entering the show'.
Just like just now, when Xu Yanzhi's aura became stronger, Zhang Ye's sense of drama that he managed to gather was completely dispersed.
Therefore, in the entertainment circle, talent and aura are not enough, the accumulation of actual combat experience is especially important.
Zhang Ye is still young, as long as he can meet a good director and a good crew, he will surely achieve something in time.
It's a pity that what Xu Cheng and the crew of "Monk" need is an actor who has been in the show steadily from front to back.
Obviously, Zhang Ye still has a long room for improvement, and he can't do it for the time being.
Zhang also understood that his role felt wrong, so he bowed to Xu Cheng and the others embarrassingly, "Sorry three teachers, I didn't play well."
"The image of the demon monk, do you want to try again?" The casting director did not directly deny it.
Zhang also shook his head.
He didn't even play the easy role well, so how could he play the more difficult monster monk
Zhang also knows that his ability is not enough. Instead of forcing himself to destroy a character, he might as well give up and work hard in private to make up for his shortcomings.
Screenwriter Lan Lingmeng likes Zhang Ye, a handsome boy, "Don't be discouraged, your performance is not bad at the beginning, and you can perform like this in a short period of time, which is already great."
Xu Cheng nodded slightly, "Go and sit next to you and rest for a while, and watch the performance of other actors."
"Thank you teacher." Encouraged by Zhang Ye, he walked quickly to the side.
"Ji Li, Yan Zhi, are you two playing with each other?" Xu Cheng asked straight to the point.
"Yes." Ji Li came back from the corner.
Xu Yanzhi stared at Shang Ji Li, "You play the holy monk first? Then reverse it later?"
"no problem."
This decision is in line with Ji Li's idea.
Smiling, he borrowed the Buddhist beads in Zhang Zhi's hand, walked straight to a rock, and sat cross-legged on top of it indifferently.
This seemingly ordinary movement made Xu Cheng unconsciously concentrate.
Because there is a tiny bright lamp hidden in the grass behind Ji Li. At this moment, the light seems to have coated his whole body with a layer of golden light.
Before today's audition, Xu Cheng's team spent three days arranging the scene.
In order to reflect the evilness of the demon monk, the ceiling lights in the room are actually reddish, just in line with the bloody dark environment in the cave.
Only the yellow shimmering light in this rock and grass is a small arrangement that they deliberately made when arranging, and it is a hidden position specially reserved for the holy monk.
The Buddhist school obeys the golden color. Before the Su Dynasty destroyed the country, Chen Yi was a holy monk and an incomparably noble crown prince in the hearts of the people.
His nobility comes from the inside out.
Ji Li sat up firmly, using the surrounding ambient light to allow herself to perfectly assume the character's external identity.
Xu Cheng's eyes moved from the monitor to Ji Li, and there was a flash of inquiry.
this kid.
Did you really study the light at the scene, or did you hit it right
"Action!"
Three seconds later, the machine started to run again.
The holy monk played by Ji Li held the bracelet with both hands, and moved the beads steadily with his fingertips. His eyes drooped slightly, "Amitabha, you have committed too many murders, so finish it yourself."
His tone was very light, and his strength was just right.
Looking from the direction of Ji Li's line of sight, only Xu Yanzhi's legs could be seen, completely staggered and facing each other.
But that's enough.
Although the holy monk Chenyi is not in the position of God and Buddha, he is a person with the ability to truly practice Buddhism. Even without deliberately looking at each other, he can determine his own situation and the identity of the visitor.
Xu Yanzhi recited the lines he had already engraved in his heart, and approached Ji Li step by step.
He played very steadily, and even better than before, and his sinister aura continued unabated.
"... The damned person is Mantian God Buddha! It's you!" Xu Yanzhi stood completely in front of Ji Li.
At this moment, Zhang Zhi, as a bystander, felt great oppression, and watched more intently—he was stuck here just now.
Ji Li stopped turning the beads, and slowly raised his eyes, meeting Xu Yanzhi's killing intent calmly, "If you don't want to, I will send you off personally."
In a word, it resounds loudly.
Ji Li's pale and cold eyes seem to cover everything in the world, and the strong sense of drama that bursts out when he raises his eyes makes people completely powerless to resist.
Seeing his miniature in Ji Li's eyes, Xu Yanzhi froze in place for a moment, and the lines he had planned froze.
For a moment, his aura weakened.
The moving camera lens is stuck in the close-up of Ji Li's eyes, and the picture is sent back in real time—
When screenwriter Lan Lingmeng saw Ji Li's eyes, she almost jumped up from the spot in amazement.
Isn't this the holy monk Chenyi she wanted
Hidden under the indifferent eyes is the heart that was tortured to indifference by the hatred of subjugation.
Saint Monk Chen Yi hates all killings in the world, including the other self who created the killings.
…
Xu Cheng looked at the two people who were still confronting each other, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he didn't directly say the outcome.
"That's about the end of the scene, you two rest for five minutes, switch roles and try again."
Ji Li got up and handed the Buddha string in his hand to Xu Yanzhi, "Do you want to use it? I have to change props."
Such a holy item as a Buddhist bead is obviously not suitable for use on a demon monk.
A trace of complexity appeared in Xu Yanzhi's eyes, and he took it silently.
Ji Li walked to the props table and picked up the new props that he had found long ago—
A string of bone skewers made from fake bones.
According to the plot setting, these are the spoils of war after the demon monk was killed.
Ji Li stood in a suitable position and closed his eyes silently, quickly pulling himself out of the image of the holy monk.
This movie is called "The Demon Monk", and the next confrontation is the most important thing.
Soon, the auditions began again.
"... There is no turning back for the murder you have carried on your body, Amitabha, end it yourself."
Xu Yanzhi sat where Ji Li had just sat, calmly recited the same lines as before.
What he has to do now is to resist Ji Li's next attack, and he can't indulge his sense of drama and be overwhelmed by the opponent again!
"Otherwise, this monk will personally send you on your way."
— click.
A small sound suddenly broke the threat.
Everyone looked at the source of the sound in unison. Under Ji Li's feet was the bone residue that had been crushed into powder.
Ji Li played with the bone skewer in his hand, the smile in his eyes was evil and bewitching, "... Kill evil? Holy monk, it is clear that those who don't have long eyes will die by themselves, how can you blame me?"
He walked slowly towards Xu Yanzhi, each foot casually stepped on the 'bones' on the ground accurately.
click.
The sound of bones being crushed sounded, hitting everyone's eardrums, very evil.
Who is the demon monk Chen Yi
I have killed damned mortals, beheaded demons who did evil, and destroyed ghost spirits who caused troubles. There are bones everywhere in this cave, and they are all left by those who don't have eyes.
No matter how powerful the person is, no matter how hard the bones are, under the feet of the demon monk, they are nothing but a pool of loose sand.
The interest in Xu Cheng's eyes grew stronger and stronger.
The careless mistake of the previous chapter, in Ji Li's case, turned out to be a sharp weapon in shaping the character's image
The game between the two sides continues—
Ji Li approached Xu Yanzhi, and before the two of them could meet their eyes, he suddenly snatched the Buddhist beads from the other's hand.
Xu Yanzhi noticed the opponent's movement and subconsciously tightened his palms.
Between pulling and pulling, the beads were scattered on the ground, and the crackling sound was disturbing.
His palm was suddenly empty, and Xu Yanzhi looked at the Buddhist beads all over the floor, feeling a little flustered for no reason.
"The prayer beads are gone, can you still be calm?" Ji Li captured his emotion, and there was a wicked smile in the corner of his flushed eyes.
Under the illumination of the ceiling light, it gives people the illusion of gorgeousness and affection.
Xu Yanzhi was startled suddenly.
"I have a question, I want to ask you carefully." Ji Li took the opportunity to stick it in his ear, "You and I are born from the same root, if I should die..."
The deep voice hit the eardrums, and the ending sound had an upward arc, like little claws scratching people.
Ji Li tilted his head, and breathed out casually, "What about you?"
The warm breath fell, and Xu Yanzhi's earlobes turned red instantly with the unprecedented numbness. He could almost conclude that—
Ji Li is deliberately seducing him!
No, it should be said that the demon monk played by Ji Li is deliberately seducing the holy monk played by him!
How can this be
While Xu Yanzhi was shocked, screenwriter Lan Lingmeng was ecstatic in her heart, her eyes became brighter and brighter.
That's right!
That's it!
The demon monk in her works is in this posture!
Chen Yi understands that his beauty is a natural weapon, and occasionally he still doesn't forget to use it when slaying demons, causing the opponent to lose his mind for a short time, so he takes the opportunity to deal with it harder.
His evilness is not only sinister and ruthless, but evil and beautiful enough to charm all living beings.
Of course, this sentient being also includes the holy monk Chen Yi who was about to become a god and Buddha.
Although Xu Yanzhi's demon monk is emotional, he is too one-sided, and the charming and seductive side is not shown at all.
Because he is Director Xu's nephew, screenwriter Lan Lingmeng didn't express his opinion on the spot.
At this moment, she uncontrollably fixed her eyes on Ji Li, looking forward to the other's next performance even more—
Ji Li straightened up and looked down at Xu Yanzhi condescendingly. The mole on the bridge of his nose seemed to be tainted with evil.
He smiled provocatively, "Holy Monk, you broke the precept."
"The five precepts of Buddhism, one is killing, two is stealing, three is drinking and meat, four is lying, and five is adultery. Do you know which one you just committed?"
Which one could it be? He was bewitched by the demon monk!
"Nonsense!"
Xu Yanzhi has been messed up by Ji Li's offensive, so he can only cooperate with the established lines.
As soon as the words fell, the bone string in Ji Li's hand was wrapped around his neck, and the other party came up from behind, speaking gentle and evil words.
"Why do you have to be that fake holy monk, I am you, how can I not understand you?"
Ji Li's fingertips brushed the opponent's Adam's apple casually, and Xu Yanzhi stiffened unconsciously during the slight rubbing and contact.
He clearly knew that he was acting, but he just couldn't get rid of this illusory bewitchment.
And behind his invisible back, the killing intent in Ji Li's eyes revealed little by little, and the hand holding the bone skewer slowly tightened.
In just a few seconds, the extremely shortened bone string became a deadly rope.
"Why don't I help you settle yourself first, how about that?"
The vicious words came down, and Xu Yanzhi's hairs stood on end in shock. For a moment in a trance, he really felt a suffocating killing intent.
What gentle charm
It was simply the mask he used to cover up the vicious killing!
Zhang, who was a bystander, was so shocked that he was about to stuff an egg in his mouth——
Evil and gentle, charming all living beings, cunning and evil... In less than a minute, with simple lines from three or four dramas, Ji Li vividly interprets all aspects of the demon monk.
This acting is too scary! Losing to such an opponent, he was convinced!
If Xu Yanzhi is really the chosen male lead, after this audition, will he have to change
Zhang also thought to himself, and glanced at the row of standing tables.
At this moment, screenwriter Lan Lingmeng's heart was beating wildly with excitement.
The lines and plot given in today's audition are actually very loose, but Ji Li fully understands the essence of the demon monk's design, and her interpretation performance is even more powerful than her script fragments!
When Ji Li played the role of the monk, she wanted the monk to win because of the audience.
When Ji Li played the role of the demon monk, she couldn't help but stand in line with the demon monk.
Fortunately, at the end of the script, the souls of the two merged into one, fusing Buddhism and evil power, and slapped those gods and Buddhas who were full of hypocrisy and justice.
"Director Xu, what do you think of this version? I want to rework this script according to Ji Li's interpretation." Lan Lingmeng asked in a low voice.
The action of killing her life with a bone string just now was too enchanting, she had to write it into the script!
Although she didn't say anything clearly on the surface, Lan Lingmeng had already expressed her opinion about the audition—the male lead she wanted was Ji Li!
The casting director was also amazed.
In a short period of time, Ji Li was able to create two completely different images of monks, and there was no contradiction at all.
Among young actors, it is estimated that few people can do it, right
Xu Cheng stood up and applauded, "Okay, it's almost done."
Ji Li understood that the audition was over, so he quickly let go of the bone string, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, didn't I strangle you?"
"It's okay." Xu Yanzhi had already escaped from the plot. He took a breath and admitted convincingly, "...you won."
Whether it is a demon monk or a holy monk, the other party's interpretation is far better than his.
Xu Cheng has been a director for so many years, so he naturally has a way of knowing people. In fact, he had high expectations for Ji Li as early as the day of modeling.
And today's opponent's performance did not disappoint him at all.
Xu Cheng looked around with a smile, and finally set his affirmative gaze on Ji Li's face.
"It seems that everyone has no opinion on the final choice of the hero of the movie?"
