She could even go to the audition after class without any delay.
Zilong agreed to let Jiang Xun audition, purely to follow up on Deng Xu’s suggestion.
Deng Xu had not yet sent him Jiang Xun’s performance clips.
Anyway, he did not have high expectations for Jiang Xun, so he picked a time to let Jiang Xun go through the process. He also told Deng Xu that he did not need to send the clips over.
Jiang Xun entered the audition room. Zilong maintained his politeness and told Jiang Xun about the scene.
!!“This murderer with an anti-social personality is called Cheng Yao. Cheng Yao’s father is a murderer with an anti-social personality, and he was arrested and sent to prison. Her mother took her to remarry and gave birth to a younger sister. Her mother was worried that Cheng Yao would inherit her father’s genes, so she was especially strict with Cheng Yao since she was young. She was a little too strict. Instead, it forced Cheng Yao’s anti-social personality out. Cheng Yao was very obedient at the beginning, hoping to get her mother’s approval. But no matter how obedient she was, her mother was always strict with her, guarding against her like she was guarding against the devil. Her gaze also revealed hatred from time to time.”
“Cheng Yao could no longer suppress herself, so in front of her mother, she cruelly killed her half-sister and drove her mother crazy,” Zilong said. “Her sister was actually nice to her since she was young. Her mother was strict with her, but her sister always held her hand and relied on her. She even gave Cheng Yao her favorite doll. After killing her sister, Cheng Yao threw the doll into her sister’s arms.”
“The part I want you to try is the part where Cheng Yao kills her sister in front of her mother.”
“Okay.” Jiang Xun nodded. “Are there any lines?”
“No. This role requires a lot of micro expressions, so I need to focus on your emotional interpretation of this role.”
“Got it.”
Jiang Xun looked around. Other than Zilong, there were also the casting director, assistant director, and Zilong’s assistant.
Because most of the other roles had been chosen, the only one missing was Cheng Yao.
Therefore, Jiang Xun was the only one who came to audition today.
It was impossible to get an actor to help set up the scene like Deng Xu did.
Jiang Xun pointed at the air beside her. “Then I’ll assume that this is Cheng Yao’s mother.”
Jiang Xun planned to move a chair over.
“There’s no need.” Zilong’s words made Jiang Xun stop. “Just think of me as Cheng Yao’s mother. You can act in front of me. I’ll be able to watch more intuitively.”
Jiang Xun nodded. “Then I’ll start.”
“Go ahead,” Zilong said.
Jiang Xun’s gaze suddenly changed. When she looked at Zilong, her eyes were filled with anticipation and a slight smile, but there was no malice in them.
She walked to the door and made a gesture of opening the door. Then, she grabbed the air and dragged it over.
Zilong inexplicably knew that Jiang Xun was grabbing the hair of her imaginary sister.
Jiang Xun threw her “sister” aside and took out a “dagger” from her waist.
This unreal performance had already surprised Zilong.
Jiang Xun didn’t say what the air she grabbed represented.
But it made people understand what she was performing.
Zilong’s eyes lit up when he saw the scene in Jiang Xun’s eyes.
He had interviewed many actors for the same scene. When they came on stage, some had crazy eyes, and some had perverted eyes, but none of them had expectations and smiles like Jiang Xun’s.
This kind of positive emotion just had to be applied to Cheng Yao’s psychological activity of wanting to kill her sister. It made people’s scalps go numb for no reason.
Jiang Xun squatted down and faced Zilong. Then, she lowered her head and stabbed her air-sister. When she raised her head to look at Zilong, she showed an obedient expression.
After that, she stabbed the air-sister again and again at a faster and faster speed.
Then, she pressed the air with her other hand.
Zilong could imagine the sister’s struggle.
Jiang Xun’s expression gradually turned numb. She thought about those zombies that she had killed.
At the instant they turned into zombies, they still had a trace of humanity. They were still struggling and didn’t want to die.
But she had to kill them at this time.
Even among them were her good friends and her comrades.
She had no relatives. These people were her relatives.
But she wasn’t born an orphan. Before she was four years old, she had a mother.
Her father died shortly after she was born, so she didn’t remember him very well.
The memory of a 4-year-old wasn’t very strong.
But she could still remember it because her mother’s death had such a big impact on her.
