My Healing Games

Chapter 179 Animal Alley, Butcher's House
Han Fei was telling the truth. He had to go back to play games that night, and it was already a favor to Director Zhang that he was able to find the time to audition.

For other young actors, participating in Director Zhang's films, even if it's just a supporting role, is a form of recognition and honor, which greatly helps their future film and television careers.

They simply couldn't understand Han Fei; in their eyes, Han Fei's words were deliberately sarcastic.

They bluntly and without any attempt to hide it said that they were all trash and unworthy of competing with them.

Even clay figurines have a bit of temper, let alone these young actors who are so popular with fans.

They are handsome and dashing, always the center of attention whether at the company or at events, enjoying the praise of everyone. How could they have ever suffered such humiliation?

Even if some people don't have a good reputation, at most they'll just be criticized online; no one has ever dared to say that in real life.

The room fell silent instantly. No one stood up to refute Han Fei to his face, but everyone was seething with anger.

Some people buried themselves in reading the script, preparing to perform well later and deflate Han Fei's arrogance.

Some people looked at Han Fei with disdain, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Among everyone, Wu Li lowered his head somewhat awkwardly. He and Director Qian Cheng had attended the celebration banquet for "Twin Flowers" and knew that the actor Director Zhang really wanted was Han Fei.

They have the strength and confidence to say that.

Actually, he had already fallen silent when he first heard Ah Cheng boasting about giving up the male lead role in "Twin Flowers." There was a kind of awkwardness that made him feel awkward for Ah Cheng.

However, he had high emotional intelligence; instead of pointing it out, he smiled and nodded in agreement.

When he saw that Han Fei hadn't even taken the script and was going straight to the audition, he became even more certain of his guess.

That role was prepared for Han Fei; most of the people in this room are just there to make up the numbers.

He felt somewhat uncomfortable. He was nominated for Best Young Actor this year, but it was just a nomination; he didn't even get a chance to go on stage. He felt like he was now just a professional runner-up.

The door opened, and Han Fei walked out without even glancing at the other actors inside.

Wu Li was somewhat envious of that kind of temperament and carefree attitude. The other person seemed to not care about circles or personal relationships at all, but instead devoted himself to acting.

"Wu Li, shall we line up in order? If we go up in that order, we can leave a good impression on Director Zhang."

"it is good……"

As he stepped out of the waiting room, the staff outside were somewhat surprised: "Teacher Han? You've finished reading the script?"

"Okay, let's go audition."

Led by staff, Han Fei walked out from behind the curtain and onto the theater stage.

In the huge audience seats, only five people were sitting in the very front row.

Director Zhang, who wears glasses and has a thin build, sat in the middle. He doesn't talk much and gives people a very strict feeling.

However, a slight smile appeared on his face after he saw Han Fei.

"This is the first time I've gotten to know an actor fully through legal news. You have a quality that they don't have, and I hope you can fully showcase that unique quality."

Director Zhang is a veteran in the film and television industry. Although he hasn't had many works in recent years, no one can shake his position in the industry.

"You've probably read the script, right? Our drama is adapted from the story of a suspense novelist from ten years ago. He wasn't a famous author, and very few people knew his story."

“Our team interviewed many people and went through a lot of hard work to finally recreate this character.”

"His brain has now been bought by Immortal Pharmaceuticals from his adopted son at a high price. He is also the only patient in the existing medical record who killed all of his split personalities."

"His story is obscure and difficult to understand, but once you truly understand it, you will find that all those absurd and bizarre scenes reflect reality."

"In his work 'Beast Lane,' he portrayed the evil in everyone's heart in the form of livestock, allowing the public to see the world through his eyes."

"In 'The Butcher's House,' a sister novel to 'Beast Alley,' he detailed how he killed the other eight personalities."

"This person is full of secrets, and even his pen name, Spider, seems to be related to a supervillain."

Director Zhang personally explained his vision to Han Fei, who listened attentively.

There is also a place called "Animal Alley" in the Deep World. Coincidentally, Han Fei has to go to Animal Alley to obtain the hidden profession of Midnight Butcher.

In Han Fei's view, the suspense novelist who used the pen name Spider might have some kind of connection with the deeper world.

Director Zhang was very satisfied with Han Fei's attitude. He felt that Han Fei was not only listening, but also racking his brains to think and fully immersing himself in the role.

"I need you to play the main personality of Spider, who is also the biggest villain. You will kill the other eight people little by little." Director Zhang valued Han Fei highly and said a lot: "This drama needs nine very capable actors. These nine actors are all different in age and profession. I have already finalized eight of them, but I can't find a suitable candidate for the main personality. I hope you can bring me a surprise."

After he finished speaking, he gestured to a man next to him to walk onto the stage: "Your script was specially prepared by me. It doesn't give you too many restrictions. You can show and express yourself to the fullest."

Nodding, Han Fei mentally reviewed the script once more.

Deep in Animal Alley, there is a dilapidated little building, known as the Butcher's House.

Nine people are hiding inside the building, and the main personality, played by Han Fei, is tasked with killing them all.

In the script Director Zhang gave him, someone had already been murdered inside the small building.

At this time, people were filled with fear and anxiety, and anyone could become the next victim.

In this situation, one of the alternate personalities begins to doubt the main personality played by Han Fei.

Han Fei, as the main personality, did not have a strong presence in the early stages; he was just a supporting character.

The main characters in this play are Spider's two other alter egos—a male doctor with many years of clinical experience and a loving female teacher who loves children.

The doctors tried to cure the other personality traits, while the teachers constantly comforted and encouraged everyone.

To the audience, the two of them fit the character settings of the male and female protagonists of the movie. They keep tracking down the murderer, but in reality, they are the biggest obstacles to Spider's return to normal.

This scenario was not difficult for Han Fei.

The reason is simple: he had lived in such a building himself, and he had experiences that even movies wouldn't dare to film.

Fear, unease, and terror—all these emotions were being suppressed with great effort. When all the light went out, Han Fei felt as if he had returned to that pitch-black stairwell from the beginning.
