The Melaleuca Routine of Fishing Attack

Day two.

Xie Moyu sat in the car, the scenery outside the window flowed by, the city, the trees, the sunshine.

The audition venue was in the entertainment company, a building in the city center, about ten minutes' drive away.

Xie Moyu lowered his head and rubbed his temples with his slender fingers, wondering: Is it Lin Yan who is in charge of the audition?Or is he temporarily unavailable for a round of auditions, so let his assistant do it for him?

I have to admit that if Lin Yan was not among those who participated in the screening, he would be much more relaxed.

When did you care so much about Lin Yan's opinion of him?

Xie Moyu's long legs were lazily slung in the car. On the left side was a cup of coffee. He picked it up and used it to refresh himself.

"Mr. Xie, would you like some water?"

The assistant saw beads of sweat on his temples, and handed him a bottle of mineral water from one side: "It's hot these days, it's getting hotter."

"Thank you." Xie Moyu unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip of water, and put the bottle aside.

He turned on his phone and unconsciously searched for Lin Yan's name.

Comments given to him in the forum: The film is really good, but it is said that he made the film "fee actors".Many big names who have made movies with him have complained cryptically in interviews: Lin Yan himself is too stylish, and he doesn’t like to explain and communicate with actors in too much detail when he shoots, but only uses some auxiliary methods to make the film achieve the desired effect. Effect.

What is the specific "support method", there are too many slots: for example, it is common to temporarily create lines according to the situation, change the script, or even change actors - there was a famous incident in the past, It was originally planned that a big name would play the heroine, but during filming, Lin Yan felt that a supporting role was more suitable for her, so despite objections, he replaced her with a newcomer supporting role.

Of course, the final effect was indeed good, but Lin Yan was also complained about it.

Well, he is probably the kind of director who can "do whatever it takes" for the sake of movie effects.

After Xie Moyu finished watching, he admired him even more.

He is so pure.

It's not far by car, and it will be there in ten minutes.

Xie Moyu put away his phone, took the sunglasses handed over by his assistant, put them on the bridge of his nose, and got out of the car.Outside the building were the words "Dingfeng Entertainment" and the company logo. The assistant followed him into the elevator and pressed the number 15, which was the floor where the audition venue was located.

In the elevator, Xie Moyu took off his sunglasses, and instantly recognized several people in the elevator.

Apart from him, there are two other people who are not familiar with each other but have acted in scenes before. When they looked at each other, they smiled politely and nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.

Xie Moyu was led into the waiting room. He came early. The waiting room was quite empty and there were not many people.After sitting down, he sent a message to his agent:

- "Who is in this audition?"

The agent replied to him in a while:

- "There are quite a few, but you don't need to worry about them, they are all for supporting roles."

Xie Moyu was still curious, and asked persistently:

- "It's okay, let's talk about it."

broker;

- "There are quite a lot, but you are the most popular, who can be more popular than you now, don't worry."

Xie Moyu paused with his fingertips, and replied: "Understood, thank you."

He closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, looked around, and saw that there were more people in the lounge. Among the many actors, he happened to see two familiar faces, which were Lu Zhong and Liu Ziqing.The lineup is pretty good.But on the other hand, it is precisely this kind of casting that is more challenging.

He likes everything challenging --

What's more, there are very few things he wants that he can't get.

In the corridor, there was a rustling sound.

Another group of people passing by.

"Director Lin, people are almost here. When the time comes..." the deputy director asked after him.

Xie Moyu looked up, and happened to catch a glimpse of a white figure, and his eyes stopped.

The young man was wearing a clean, well-pressed white shirt, a pressed black baseball cap, the tip of his nose was as white as jade, and he happened to pass by with a black backpack loosely slung on his shoulder.

The moment Xie Moyu looked over, the young man also happened to look over.

Like a tacit understanding, the two maintained a proper sense of distance.

Lin Yan recognized him, his eyes lit up slightly.

..

"Director Lin, are you selected?" The assistant director joked with a smile, "Your eyes lit up just passing by, who are you looking at?"

"There is indeed one." Lin Yan whispered.

"Who?"

The assistant director became curious. The first time he saw Lin Yan, he actually chose the actor based on his personal preference before the audition.

Lin Yan entered the office, put down his bag, took a sip of water in a relaxed manner, paused, with some imperceptible emotions flashing across his eyes, and said, "Guess."

Xie Moyu's audition was scheduled for ten o'clock in the morning. After a while, the audition started. A staff member wearing a work badge called someone at the door. Someone in the lounge went out, and it was his turn to participate in the audition.

"Starting so soon?"

The man muttered to himself.

Xie Moyu held the mineral water bottle and took a sip of water in a relaxed manner.

The audition room was at the end of the corridor, the door was closed, and there was only a small transparent window, which was so high that the people in the room could not be seen.

The lounge was quiet, and everyone was getting ready.

There were whispered conversations, too, scattered in all directions.

"I heard that Director Lin is in charge of the casting?"

"That's right, he has always been like this when making movies. The casting right is in his hands, and no one else can control it."

"You can't say that. There will still be a vote, and you can roughly refer to other people's opinions."

"Then what's his preference? Casting."

"Acting skills, good looks, but, I heard that he values ​​the fit of characters the most."

..

Another hour passed.

The first person to enter the audition room has not yet come out.

Many people waiting were stunned: it was the first time they had seen such a long audition process.Usually, when participating in certain movies, it usually takes more than ten minutes to get it done, and the judges can quickly finalize the role by performing such a short section under the camera according to the script.

But this time... why is it different?

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the audition room creaked and opened slightly.

The first man to go in finally came out.

His forehead was covered with fine sweat, and he breathed heavily after going out, as if he had finally relaxed.

"How about it?"

Someone in the lounge asked him.

"terrible."

The man waved his hand: "I'll go first, you... come on." Everyone: "??"

What's the situation, it seems that the audition is very strict?

Xie Moyu raised his eyes and looked lightly at the audition room full of unknowns. He lowered his eyelids again, recalling the Lin Yan he saw last night.

The thin, fair-skinned young man always seemed to have stars shining in his eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't get the word "scary".He looked indifferently at the small window, and bent his thin lips. For some reason, instead of feeling nervous, he was full of anticipation for the audition.

What would he be like in the room?

Thinking about it, I think it will be very interesting.

The first guy who auditioned came out, and soon after, the second guy went in.

The audition was a female star, but this time, it was surprisingly fast.

After about 15 minutes, the person who participated in the audition opened the door. She looked relaxed, and she did not have the nervousness of the first participant.She went back to the lounge to get her bag, and when she bent over, someone asked curiously, "How is it? Is it strict? Is Director Lin very aggressive?"

The woman said in surprise, "No, I feel fine."

Everyone was completely stunned.

Why do some people audition in a short time, while others take so long?

Maybe it's different depending on the role, is it because the two protagonists of this movie are men, it takes longer to finalize the protagonist, and the female plays a supporting role, so it is easier to finalize?

Next, several people from Xie Xu went in and came out again.

It wasn't until close to noon that the staff announced slowly at the door: "The next one is on the 6th, please prepare on the 7th."

No. 7 is Xie Moyu.

About half an hour later, the door creaked open.

No. 6 went out, looked at Xie Moyu who was waiting, and smiled: "Senior, are you next?"

Xie Moyu was taken aback, he didn't expect him to take the initiative to say hello, so he nodded: "Yes. How do you feel?"

"Well, it's all right. By the way, they mentioned you just now—in a good way."

Number 6 smiled, looked at Xie Moyu, and said, "Mr. Xie, you can definitely pass."

By "they" do you mean the people in the room who are in charge of judging?Why do you mention yourself?Xie Moyu was a little surprised, but didn't ask.

The staff member wearing a work badge gestured at the door and started.

Xie Moyu smiled lightly and said, "I'll go first."

"Go." No. 6 smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Director Lin has a deep impression of you, I guess you'll be the leading actor, take it easy."

Xie Moyu was slightly surprised, countless thoughts turned in his heart, and he was in a daze: "Stop joking."

After speaking, he left the lounge, walked through the long aisle, and stood in front of the door of the audition room.The door of the audition room was tightly closed, and there was a little light through the small glass window. He knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in."

A slightly indifferent voice, like mint, cool and deep.

It's Lin Yan.

The moment he heard his voice, Xie Moyu gently twisted the door handle with his long fingers.

creak.

The door was gently pushed open by him.

In the audition room, there was a camera, and there were unexpectedly only four people inside, the photographer, Lin Yan, Lin Yan's assistant, and a strange middle-aged man.

The photographer stood there and was in charge of shooting the audition video, which was convenient for Lin Yan to screen in the later stage. On the other side, there was a white fabric sofa and a small coffee table next to the window. The man and Lin Yan sat relaxed. A plate of green grapes.

Xie Moyu stood at the door and looked at Lin Yan who was on the sofa.

Lin Yan lowered his head and took a lighter from the coffee table with his slender fingers, pressed it, and a cluster of flames jumped up.

He looked at him quietly in the firelight, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Xie, see you again."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the original author." The man on the sofa smiled slightly: "This is the first time I've met Mr. Xie, this looks absolutely amazing."

Xu Zifeng couldn't help being curious after hearing Lin Yan mention him several times.

The person who came in was quite tall and handsome, with neat sideburns and amorous long eyelashes. His eyes were always deep, and he looked at people with a sense of distance.

He is very contradictory, as if within reach, and always has a sense of just right distance.

Lin Yan mentioned it to him, saying that Mr. Xie is very nice.

But where is good, but did not explain clearly.

Xu Zifeng couldn't help becoming more curious about him, he paused, and said, "Use the cigarettes and lighters on the table to play around, without a theme."

There was a square table in the center of the room, and there were indeed cigarettes and lighters on it. He hummed and looked back and asked, "Start now?"

"Start." Xu Zifeng said.

The photographer nodded and started recording officially.

Lin Yan's slender index finger rested lightly on the bridge of his nose, staring at him. The indoor lighting is good, and the light from outside the window shines in. His skin has a nearly transparent texture, and his eyes are black and white, and they are incredibly clean.

The corners of Xie Moyu's lips raised slightly.

He walked to the table, took off the thin woolen coat he was wearing, put it on the back of the chair, pulled out the chair, and sat down.He lowered his head, took out a wallet from his coat pocket, lowered his eyelids to count, snorted, and then put the wallet on the table, making a muffled knocking sound.

Then, the slender middle two fingers picked up the black and silver-streaked cigarette and handed it to his lips.

With a click, the lighter ignited a cluster of small flames.

The cigarette was lit, and he leaned lazily on the back of the chair. In the white mist, his deep eyebrows and eyes instantly had an indescribable sentimental temperament.

Slowly exhaling a puff of white smoke, he raised his eyelids and suddenly looked at Lin Yan.

——It was a very deep look, beautiful dark brown pupils with a faint smile and sadness, such contradictory emotions perfectly blended.

Xu Zifeng stared at Xie Moyu, lowered his voice, moved closer, and talked softly with Lin Yan: "Mr. Xie's eye play is great. I like it very much."

Only then did Lin Yan's eyes slowly move away from Xie Moyu's body, his slender fingers tapped the beat, and said, "En."

The right to cast the film is in the hands of the two of them, and no one else can interfere.

Xu Zifeng worked as a screenwriter in his early years and also wrote novels. Later, he became famous for his novels and had a good foundation in script writing, so he often participated in the adaptation of his own novels to movies.To obtain the right to adapt his novel, one of the most basic requirements is that he himself must participate in rewriting the script and casting roles.

There was a sketchbook on Lin Yan's lap, with several names written in scribbled but neat handwriting on it.

Among them, the three consecutive characters of "Xie Moyu" were written elegantly and beautifully by him.

"Mr. Xie, continue, very good." Lin Yan's clean eyes suppressed excessive emotions, staring at Xie Moyu and said.

Xie Moyu changed his mood again, holding the cigarette with slightly trembling fingers, there was a click, the lighter was off, and there was another click... the third sound in a row, finally a cluster of small flames ignited, He leaned in and lit it.

Take a breath, then exhale slowly.

Amidst the smog, a thick layer of frustration and melancholy floated between the handsome brows, like a downcast old gentleman.

After a while, he slammed the lighter down on the table, the lighter slid forward for a while, and fell to the ground with a clatter.

He propped his head up, his chest heaved, and he gasped heavily, as if in extreme pain.

The desperate mood and aura soon enveloped the whole room, as if it was real, Xu Zifeng seemed to be shocked, and the whole person was dumbfounded.

But Lin Yan still sat quietly and did not stop.

The play can only go on.

It was only then that Xie Moyu realized what the "too scary" in the mouth of the person who left after the audition just now meant: The person probably used only a single small prop and performed for an entire hour before Lin Yan called to stop.

No one knows what he is thinking.

No one knows what his intentions are.

..

Slowly, Xu Zifeng discovered something special about Xie Moyu: the first few people who came in to audition, all became stiff after a long time, and at the end their hands were trembling, and they were too nervous; but Xie Moyu Island is different.

He became more and more relaxed, and even slowly immersed in it.

"How do you feel?" Xu Zifeng put down the water glass, lowered his voice and asked Lin Yan: "Xiao Lin, have you taken a fancy to this person?"

"He is very suitable." Lin Yan smiled lightly, and said with great interest: "I just suddenly feel a little pity."

"What a pity?"

"Unfortunately, I just met him now."

Lin Yan relaxed on the sofa, stretched his legs, staring at the young man in the distance intently.
