Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 18 Jiang Yang’s performance is not over yet?
"What are you afraid of? Now that you're here, just go ahead and act. If you really have no idea what to do, just call me." Jiang Yang whispered.

Logically speaking, Tang Shuliang does not need to participate in the audition process.

There was obviously a reason why Tang Shuliang came here specially to get straight to the point and add more scenes.

It was discovered that he and Yang Chaoyue did not submit their resumes?
Or is it for some other reason?
unimportant.

Jiang Yang's spirits suddenly lifted.

I was just worrying about not having the opportunity to act freely, and then the opportunity came to me.

As a casting director, Tang Shuliang has met countless actors. If my acting skills can pass Tang Shuliang's test, I will feel more confident when I take the art exams of Beijing Film Academy, Shanghai Theatre Academy, and Central Academy of Drama next year and perform in front of the judges.

Jiang Yang shouted impatiently at Yang Chaoyue: "Blow, blow, blow, what are you still blowing? Can't you see the customer is urging you? Go get a jar of Fenjiu!"

After saying that, Jiang Yang smiled at Tang Shuliang and said, "It will be ready soon."

Yang Chaoyue understood what he meant, went back to the prop cabinet, took out a beer bottle, and pinched his wrist hard to calm himself down.

It’s the last turn, don’t show any fear.

In the past half month, Brother Yang accompanied her to watch variety shows, taught her to practice Mandarin, gave her interview questions, and even taught her the audition process before the audition.

I have made all the preparations for myself.

Success or failure depends on this.

Her palms sweated as she recalled the memories of being insulted by customers while working in a restaurant. This audition might be her only chance to escape from her low-level life.

"Sir, the Fenjiu is here, fresh from the cellar."

Yang Chaoyue forced a smile and walked happily to Tang Shuliang's desk.

The warm air from the air conditioner, carrying the scent of Tang Shuliang's cologne, blew towards Yang Chaoyue, and his throat tightened.

Next, how will Director Tang interact with me?
Yang Chaoyue had no experience at all.

But we are prepared to adapt to changing circumstances.

As soon as the bottle was put down, Tang Shuliang grabbed the neck of the bottle and took a sip.

Of course, no wine could be poured from the prop bottle. Tang Shuliang pretended to drink, then suddenly raised his hand to wipe his mouth and cursed: "This wine must be filled with urine. It's so damn hard to drink! It's a trick!"

The words fell.

Before Yang Chaoyue could react, Tang Shuliang raised the wine bottle and smashed it towards her head.

Yang Chaoyue shrank his head, his whole body trembled, and he screamed and dodged.

But Tang Shuliang grabbed her apron.

There was a crash.

The wine bottle instantly exploded on Yang Chaoyue's head.

The audition room was silent.

The red light on the camera was like a bloodthirsty eye, shaking violently with the sound of the wine bottle breaking.

Jiang Fang opened her eyes wide.

Director Tang is auditioning ordinary extras according to the standards of a special audition.

Yang Chaoyue subconsciously covered his head in panic, but found that it didn't hurt at all, he was more confused.

The prop wine bottle is made of vinyl, which is easy to break and brittle, and feels a bit sticky to the touch.

How to act?
What's going to happen next?
Yang Chaoyue's mind went blank.

When she was acting opposite Jiang Fang for the first time, her performance was completely based on her real-life experience as a restaurant waitress.

But in reality, she has never been hit on the head with a beer bottle by a customer.

I was stunned for 2 seconds.

The world is silent at this moment.

She heard her heartbeat like a drum, and the stinging sensation of her nails digging into her palms suddenly seemed distant.

I have no idea what to say or how to react next.

She bit her teeth too tightly, and the smell of blood spread in her mouth. She was shocked to realize that her lip had been bitten through.

Is my audition going to fail?
Suddenly, Jiang Yang's words to her rang in her mind.

I don’t know what to do...just call Jiang Yang!
"Shopkeeper!" Yang Chaoyue seemed to be trying to grasp a life-saving straw, even his lines were trembling, and he instinctively grabbed his apron.
The words fell.

Jiang Yang, with two prop bottles in his pocket, strode over and said, "Hey, you hit my waiter! Come at me!"

Jiang Yang kicked the prop table that was blocking the way away, and the noise was so loud that it startled Tang Shuliang.

There was a crash.

Fragments of sugar gum fell to the ground.

Jiang Yang hit Tang Shuliang on the head with a prop wine bottle, knocking his glasses askew.

This is not finished.

Jiang Yang took out another sugar-coated wine bottle from his pocket and pulled Yang Chaoyue behind him: "I am the only one who can beat the waiter in my shop!"

Tang Shuliang didn't adjust his glasses, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

The girl named Yang didn't catch his act, but Jiang Yang did.

He wanted to see how Jiang Yang could act.

As the sugar-coated wine bottle exploded again on Tang Shuliang's head, a dagger was taken out of Tang Shuliang's pocket and stabbed heavily into Jiang Yang's abdomen, stirring violently, and then pulled out.

The dagger is of course a retractable prop dagger.

The test is Jiang Yang's reaction.

Jiang Yang's body stiffened for a moment, he looked down at his abdomen, covered it with his hands, his eyes were filled with fear, and his body was tilted like a puppet with broken strings.

"Run from the back kitchen." He puffed up his cheeks, turned around and shouted to Yang Chaoyue, then grabbed Tang Shuliang's suit collar and pushed him towards the door.

Yang Chaoyue didn't react at first, but when he found that there was no blood on Jiang Yang's abdomen, he believed that Director Tang was using a prop dagger.

She turned and ran.

[Under your care, Yang Chaoyue's acting skills have improved. Your acting skills +1]

I had just run two steps when I heard a clang.

Looking back, Jiang Yang fell at the door.

Tang Shuliang had been pushed out of the door by Jiang Yang, and was looking inside through the glass curtain wall to see Jiang Yang's reaction.

There is improvisation, reaction, and clear lines.

The behavior is logical and the movements are smooth and not stiff.

From Jiang Yang's lines and actions just now, Tang Shuliang could even imagine the character of the shopkeeper played by Jiang Yang, and his relationship with the waiter.

enough.

Jiang Fang stood up and was about to call for a stop, but Tang Shuliang raised his hand to stop her.

Jiang Yang was lying on the ground in a crooked position inside the glass curtain wall, staring at Tang Shuliang with wide eyes.

"Jiang Yang's performance hasn't ended yet?" Tang Shuliang stared slightly.

Before Jiang Yang fell, the stool used to hold the door was pushed away.

Tang Shuliang stepped in, kicked Jiang Yang's shoulder with his toes, and continued to act in coordination with Jiang Yang: "You're quite lucky. You're not dead yet. That woman is in the kitchen over there, right?"

He took out a dagger, squatted down, and slashed Jiang Yang's neck.

As he finished this action, Jiang Yang's head actually cooperated by tilting to one side.

The Adam's apple rolls up and down due to stress.

The neck muscles show defensive spasm.

The veins on his neck bulged like a dying earthworm, and he let out a short, painful gasp.

If Jiang Yang hadn't had a wound on his neck, Jiang Fang, who was watching this scene, would have almost thought that Tang Shuliang was using a real knife.

Tang Shuliang stood up and walked towards Yang Chaoyue's kitchen.

When Yang Chaoyue saw Tang Shuliang walking towards him, he was frightened and at a loss.

But after Tang Shuliang approached, he raised his hand and made a downward gesture to her: "That's enough, now let's see how Jiang Yang acts."

Playing a dying person requires a lot of technical skills.

It involves physiological details, psychological states, and unspoken expressions.

Tang Shuliang looked at Jiang Yang with scrutiny.

Yang Chaoyue and Jiang Fang also looked at Jiang Yang.

The photographer adjusted the lens and aimed the red dot at Jiang Yang.
