Chapter 244: Dead Again
Chapter 244: Dead Again
Shao Yu knew Xie Jiang's magical powers and had heard her inner thoughts. He did not doubt her judgment at all. After receiving the message, he immediately replied with two words: I believe it.
Frowning and putting down his phone, he tilted his head slightly and whispered to the assistant director, "Contact Xitian to arrange for a few more artists to come. This person's image is different from the photo and doesn't fit the role."
The assistant director's mouth twitched, and he resigned himself to his fate and picked up his phone to send a message to Xitian.
"Sister Jiang Jiang." He Yanqi showed a bright and clean smile on his face and greeted her warmly, "If you want to audition later, please go easy on me."
The script contains many scenes where the sister who has lost her memory beats her brother.
"Don't worry, I will try my best to control my strength." Xie Jiang smiled at him and pulled Qu Huan to sit down together.
"Are you Xie Jiang?" Veteran actor Sun Cheng, who plays the human trafficker in the film, pulled up a chair across from Xie Jiang and sat down, joking with a smile, "I heard that getting Hammer God's autograph brings good luck. Will taking a photo with him bring even better luck?"
"Teacher Sun, please stop joking with me." Xie Jiang laughed dryly. "It's just a nickname given by netizens. I'm not that awesome."
It's dead again.
Who gave her this nickname? It's so embarrassing to be called that by a senior.
"My daughter is a fan of yours. After the reading, I wonder if you could do me a favor and take a few photos with her." Sun Cheng smiled. "It's okay if you don't want to take photos. I'm just asking casually."
"A photo and an autograph are all fine. Thank you, my dear, for your love." Xie Jiang also smiled, his voice light and cheerful, "As long as she's not afraid of being disillusioned upon seeing me."
Sun Cheng laughed, "No, she's obsessed with looks."
Xie Jiang: The teacher is really good at talking.
Qu Hua: I learned it.
He Yanqi: I feel like I understand it, maybe not.
After everyone was seated, Shao Yu glanced obscurely at Ke Wei, who was understaffing Zhao Xuehui's role, and said seriously, "The screenwriter is still on the way. He'll be here in about half an hour. Everyone, please share your understanding of the character."
Zhao Xuehui's performance in the audition was average, and the role she played didn't have a large proportion of scenes, so it didn't matter who played the role.
Kexitian shouldn't have sent someone with problems here.
Fortunately, the machine has not been turned on yet, otherwise the loss would be quite large.
Everyone at the table suddenly fell silent, all looking at Sun Cheng and the veteran actress Lin Xia who played his wife.
Xie Jiang followed everyone else, waiting for Sun Cheng or Lin Xia to speak, while shaking his head in his mind, "Please stop reading the novel and work first."
"Another case?" Eighteen was obviously excited.
"I guess so. Keep an eye on the man who meets with Ke Wei regularly, and Xitian's personal stylist." Xie Jiang gave instructions and retracted his attention.
"Teacher Lin and I are old partners, but this is my first time working with Director Shao. Let me first share my analysis of the role of the human trafficker." Sun Cheng said slowly, "He was a minor when he first committed the crime, and the child he abducted was only two years old."
From a child trafficker to a famous entrepreneur and philanthropist, it shows that this person is extremely good at disguise.
He still has the old-fashioned idea of favoring boys over girls, so he basically targets boys under three years old, who are the easiest to sell.
In his eyes, anything that can be exchanged for money is a good thing, whether it is a person or a cat or a dog.
When the crime was exposed for the first time, he took his wife away and settled her down. He then began to disguise himself as a driver who collected slop from a pig farm and went to the police station to inquire about the news.
After learning that no evidence or fingerprints were left at the fire scene, he became bolder and stopped hiding. Instead, he immediately started a company.
At the same time, he also asked someone to keep an eye on the uninjured heroine. After confirming again and again that she really had lost her memory, he persuaded his wife to agree to adopt her and the male protagonist to be on the safe side.
He adopted the heroine for two purposes: to monitor her and to find an opportunity to kill her.
Having been a human trafficker for more than 20 years, he knew very well that only the dead would keep their mouths shut.
After Sun Cheng finished describing the character in the script, he slowly added, "He has no empathy and lacks basic humanity. He is cruel and cunning. I think he entered the heroine's room several times, not only because he was worried about her memory recovery, but also because he wanted to kill his adopted daughter."
This part of the script describes how a human trafficker, after adopting two eyewitnesses, actually decided to be a good father to them.
He doesn't think human traffickers need this kind of awakening of humanity.
"I also think he's thinking about how to kill someone." Xie Jiang raised his hand in agreement. "A man who truly wants to be a father wouldn't enter his 10-year-old adopted daughter's room in the middle of the night."
If the child is three or five years old, you can force an explanation.
Some ten-year-old girls who developed earlier have already had their first period.
"Let me tell you about my role as well." Lin Xia smiled softly and quietly as she spoke slowly, "She wasn't born infertile. Instead, she was discovered by her parents while being abducted and sold. She fell during the hustle and bustle, resulting in the fetus's stillbirth. Her uterus was then removed."
This character is as bad as her husband.
The first time she sold a child, she made a lot of money quickly, and she was excited every time she successfully tricked a child who was alone.
When online shopping first became popular, her greatest pleasure was browsing shopping websites and adding the items she wanted to the shopping cart.
As soon as the child gets the money, she will immediately empty part of the shopping cart.
How can such a person develop maternal love for a child who might one day wake up and expose her crimes?
"I think there's no need to keep the scene where she cooks for her child's birthday." Lin Xia glanced at the assistant director and saw that he was busy taking notes. She calmly picked up her thermos and took a sip of water to moisten her throat.
Bad guys deserve stereotypes.
Especially human traffickers.
Xue Jin's script is impeccable and he is also open to suggestions.
Next is He Yanqi.
In the film, he plays the male protagonist who endures humiliation and has a full personality and clear arc. There is absolutely no problem with the character setting and plot arrangement.
However, when performing, it is easy to give the audience the illusion that he is also a human trafficker, which requires the actor to control his emotions precisely.
He Yanqi wrote a biography of more than a thousand words and acted out a scene with the most intense emotional outburst. Finally, it was Xie Jiang's turn.
"My understanding of the character is quite superficial," Xie Jiang said openly. "Before she lost her memory, she only knew that the fire at the orphanage was arson. After she regained consciousness, she discovered her adoptive father's secret. When she began to investigate him, she had no idea that he and his wife were both human traffickers."
She just wanted to avenge the other children and didn't have that much supernatural power, so she thought of the human traffickers.
The deliberate arrangement for her to teach the children in the orphanage to guard against their adoptive father and to say that their adoptive father is a human trafficker is a huge bug.
"How many plays have you acted in? How dare you question the plot arrangement of a top-tier screenwriter?" Ke Wei raised her chin and snorted softly. "I heard that Teacher Xie had never played the leading role before taking on this role."
"From what you're saying, if you haven't played the leading role before, you're not qualified to be in Director Shao's film?" Xie Jiang ignored her provocation, turned to look at Shao Yu, and asked with a smile, "Director Shao, do you also think there's something wrong with my understanding of the character?"
The assistant director who came today is not the one selected last time. How many assistant directors are there in a crew?
She read all the information of everyone in the conference room, and the only suspect was Ke Wei.
She is still useful, so I won’t call the police for now.
