Xia Xingcheng stayed up all night to read the script and took careful notes about everything he could think of about the role of Qian Chengjin, even though he didn't work so hard in the college entrance examination that year.
Different from the impromptu performance in that audition, this time he has a complete understanding of the role of Qian Chengjin, his character, his attitude towards his father, stepmother and sister, as well as his relationship with his girlfriend. The cause and effect of his girlfriend's death.
Before the second audition, Xia Xingcheng restored the story and the character Qian Chengjin in his head, and immersed himself in it until he stood in front of Ding Wenxun again on the day of the audition.
In Xia Xingcheng's vision, the environment at that time should be dark and quiet. He suddenly saw a person lying on the ground in the living room. He didn't dare to confirm it for the first time, and then walked slowly over, and at the same time, he would look around on alert. environment of.
Until he got close and determined that the person on the ground was his girlfriend, he immediately knelt on the ground and picked her up, shook her vigorously, and called her name in a low voice.
got no response.
Xia Xingcheng slowly and tremblingly stretched out his hand to test her breath. The moment he confirmed that she had stopped breathing, his face turned pale, and fine cold sweat oozes from his forehead.
"Report, call the police," he said to himself. Rather than panic and sadness, he was more afraid. He took out his phone from his pocket, but he couldn't hold it firmly. The phone fell to the ground and slid away on the smooth floor. The distance, he rushed over to pick up the phone, but saw a pair of leather shoes in front of him, he raised his head slowly and in horror.
Ding Wenxun called to stop at this moment.
The cold sweat on Xia Xingcheng's forehead hadn't completely subsided. He took a few deep breaths and stood up from the ground.
Ding Wenxun's expression was completely different from the end of the last audition. He seemed very interested in Xia Xingcheng's performance, "Why do you think Qian Chengjin's emotion at this time is that fear has the upper hand?"
Xia Xingcheng raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, "I just kept imagining the environment at that time. When he went back home to steal something, his nerves were already tense. Before that, he had noticed that there was someone at home, and the surrounding was dark again. He doesn't have deep feelings for his girlfriend..."
Ding Wenxun took notes on the notebook in front of him while listening. He later put down the pen, stood up from the chair, and stretched out a hand in the direction of Xia Xingcheng.
Xia Xingcheng quickly stepped forward and held Ding Wenxun's hand.
Ding Wenxun said: "I sincerely invite you to join our film."
Xia Xingcheng felt that the whole person suddenly relaxed, he nodded and said, "I am honored."
After the end, Xia Xingcheng hid in the bathroom and smoked a cigarette. He was under a lot of pressure for this audition, and now he is relaxed, but he still keeps repeating the picture just now in his head.
He didn't know it in the past, but since he filmed "Far Away" and kept telling himself to immerse himself in the scenes and characters, he gradually discovered that he is a person who is easily affected by emotions. Or to put it another way, he is very easy to accept psychological suggestion, and then falls into it and cannot extricate himself, but in order to make a good play, he has to give himself psychological suggestion repeatedly.
Just like now, after the audition, he still couldn't get rid of the terrifying emotions just now. The psychological suggestion he repeated in the past few days made him calm down, and all his mind was in the dark and dark environment he imagined, lying in the middle of the living room. girlfriend's body.
He stayed in the bathroom compartment, closed the door to isolate the outside world, and didn't want people to notice his current state. The phone rang several times in his pocket. It was Huang Jixin who sent him WeChat to ask him if he could leave. He didn't reply, he just put his forehead on his palm and closed his eyes to calm down.
After a while, Xia Xingcheng heard two people coming in from outside. They seemed to be urinating and chatting at the same time. One of them said, "Why is there a second audition? I thought Ding Wenxun was not satisfied with the surname Xia."
Another person said: "I heard that Xia Xingcheng made He Zheng's movie before."
"so what?"
"He performed really well today, and I think Director Ding is still very satisfied."
"I heard that it is from Cai Meiting's company, is it the resources that someone gave behind it?"
At this time, the voice of one of them was obviously suppressed, "I heard that it is not because of Cai Meiting, but because of Yang Youming."
"Yang Youming?" The man's tone was very surprised.
"And isn't Director Ding dissatisfied with the first audition? It was said that Yang Youming gave him another chance, and the script was given, and this audition passed so smoothly."
The two of them finished chatting gossip, and just after going to the toilet and washing their hands, they opened the door one after the other and went out.
Xia Xingcheng was sitting on the toilet lid, but because he heard this conversation, he suddenly pulled away from his role. He raised his hand, took another deep breath, took out his mobile phone and called Huang Jixin, saying : "I want to talk to Ding Wenxun about something. I'll call you later."
After speaking, he came out of the cubicle, stood in front of the sink, washed his hands carefully, dipped in some water and combed his hair, and then walked outside.
Xia Xingcheng invited Ding Wenxun to have dinner together. He was already mentally prepared that Ding Wenxun might refuse, so he would propose to change the time, but he did not expect Ding Wenxun to agree very simply, and he just had something to say to him and wanted to chat with him. chat.
So Xia Xingcheng called Huang Jixin and asked him to book a restaurant, and he and Ding Wenxun left for dinner.
