Chapter 119 The Wolf is Coming! (Ch 119)

On September 21, one day after the World Food Conference,

At ten o’clock in the morning, Qi Jia followed Chen Yuwen to the Kiwi Innovation Building in Beijing to audition for “The Bad Kids”.

As soon as the three of them got off the car, a person with a work badge came up to them at the door and said politely,

“Hello, Manager Chen. I’m Director Xin’s assistant. Thank you for your hard work.”

Chen Yuwen glanced at the work badge hanging around the other person’s neck, smiled and stretched out his hand to shake her hand.

“Hello, Assistant Cheng. Sorry to bother you.”

Assistant Cheng glanced at Qi Jia who was wearing a mask, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and said.

“You’re welcome. I’ll take you upstairs now. Director Xin and the others are already waiting upstairs.”

After saying that, she led the way first, and Qi Jia and the other two followed behind her.

The assistant leaned over to Qi Jia and whispered mysteriously,

“Brother, this Assistant Cheng is still your little fangirl~”

“Did you know you could read minds?”

Qi Jia said in a low voice, and stretched out his hand to knock her on the head.

“Hey, I can’t hit it~”

The assistant had already learned from Qi Jia’s experience, so he covered his head and dodged to the side, laughing secretly,

“I can’t read minds, but I’m not blind. The way she looked at you just now was almost stringy.”

After she finished speaking, she tried to blink her eyes, trying to imitate the look that Assistant Cheng had just given her.

But no matter how Qi Jia looked at her, he felt that she looked like she was about to die, with her eyes rolled back.

“Assistant Cheng, may I ask, who is Director Xin auditioning with this time?”

Chen Yuwen ignored the two funny guys behind him and asked,

This is not a secret, so Assistant Cheng did not hide it and replied directly,

“In addition to Director Xin, there are also Producers Bian and Du.”

“Okay, thank you.”

After hearing this, Chen Yuwen smiled and nodded.

But at this moment, Assistant Cheng seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke again,

“Oh right! The Third Master is here too, but he’s the producer this time, so he should just be here to take a look and not participate in the audition.”

“Third Master!”

Chen Yuwen was shocked after hearing this and nodded to Assistant Cheng.

He slowed down his pace and waited for the two childish ghosts behind him to catch up, then he whispered to Qi Jia.

“This audition is very important, you can’t make any mistakes!”

After so many auditions, this was the first time Qi Jia saw Chen Yuwen look so serious, and he couldn’t help but become curious.

“Sister, what happened?”

“Assistant Cheng just said that Master San will be watching this audition. He is the god of this field and can decide your life or death with just one word. Do you understand?”

Seeing that the elevator had arrived, Chen Yuwen had no time to say more, and just briefly explained,

Although he didn’t know the Third Master, Qi Jia nodded seriously when he heard her say that.

Four people took the elevator to the sixth floor.

Assistant Cheng took the three of them to the lounge first, and then took Qi Jia to the door of a meeting room alone.

After knocking on the door, he walked in and said,

“Director Xin, I brought Qi Jia here.”

In the conference room, a woman and two men sat behind a long table, and on the sofa next to them sat a man with a rather ordinary appearance.

The man wore glasses, had more white hair than black hair, and looked quite old. He should be the Third Master that Assistant Cheng mentioned.

“Well, you go out first.”

After Assistant Cheng finished speaking, Director Xin, who was in the middle of the three, spoke up.

Qi Jia stepped forward, bowed slightly to the three of them, and then said,

“Hello, three interviewers. I am Qi Jia, an artist under Jiaxing Media. I am here to audition for the role of Zhang Dongsheng.”

“Qi Jia, I’ve heard many directors praise you and have been looking forward to your acting for a long time. Can you tell us why you chose the role of Zhang Dongsheng?”

Director Xin did not ask Qi Jia to audition directly, but asked him a question first.

Qi Jia organized his words for a few seconds before answering.

“Back to the director, Zhang Dongsheng is like a complicated madman, he is twisted and contradictory, yet pitiful and miserable.

If I am lucky enough to play this role, I believe it will be of great help to my acting career.”

After hearing his answer, Director Xin and the other two producers showed a lot of interest. Then Director Xin asked again,

“Oh, complicated lunatic, this is the first time I’ve heard of this term. Can you elaborate on it?”

After he asked this question, the Third Master, who had been sitting on the sofa waiting to watch the show,

He slowly sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Qi Jia with an exploratory look in his eyes.

“From the story, Zhang Dongsheng’s complex and contradictory character can be simply divided into three points.”

“First, he is highly intelligent but emotionally fragile. Zhang Dongsheng is a highly intelligent Mathematical Olympiad teacher.

People with high IQs usually look at problems more rationally, and it is difficult for the outside world to interfere with their emotional world.

But Zhang Dongsheng’s emotions are very fragile. He desperately wants to be recognized by his wife and his parents-in-law, even to the point of being humble.

“Second, he is not what he seems. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Dongsheng is a gentle, family-oriented man.

But in fact, his heart is already filled with extreme dissatisfaction and anger towards his wife’s family. This is also reflected many times in the script. “

“Third, he pursued perfection but ended up being broken. Zhang Dongsheng was a person who pursued perfection to the extreme.

No matter how the elders ridiculed him, he still greeted them with a smile.

The purpose is to gain the recognition of the elders and give his wife a perfect home.

But the reality is very tragic. He neither gets the approval of his elders nor is he able to have children.

He was unable to give his wife a perfect family, which ultimately led to the shattering of the perfect family he was pursuing.”

…

Qi Jia spoke for more than 20 minutes in one breath. At first, Director Xin just listened carefully.

As he listened, he began to nod continuously. In the end, he no longer cared about nodding.

He picked up a pen and began to frantically write down what Qi Jia said in a small notebook.

After Qi Jia finished speaking, Director Xin put down the pen in his hand with a sense of relief.

He rubbed his sore wrist, looked at the densely packed records on the notebook, and couldn’t help but exclaimed,

“It can be seen that you have studied the script very thoroughly. You are so young and yet you can analyze the character so well. You really deserve your reputation.”

“Thank you Director Xin for your compliment.”

Qi Jia smiled and said modestly,

“What do you think?”

Director Xin looked at his colleagues on both sides and asked,

“I understand the role very well, but I don’t know how good my acting is.”

The female producer on the right said,

“Let him try another random performance.”

The male producer on the left nodded and said.

After summarizing the opinions, Director Xin looked at Qi Jia again and asked,

“Qi Jia, do you want to take a break first? We want you to perform another scene and see how it goes.”

Let me talk about two things.

On the other side, in the lounge, Chen Yuwen kept checking the time on his phone. More than half an hour had passed.

I had accompanied Qi Jia to auditions before, but I had never seen an audition last so long without a result.

On the one hand, he was worried that Qi Jia would be deliberately made things difficult for him, and on the other hand, he was worried that Qi Jia would perform poorly in front of the Third Master.

Ten minutes later, just as she stood up to find out what was going on, the door to the lounge suddenly opened.

Assistant Cheng walked in with a man and a woman. When Chen Yuwen saw the man, he was stunned at first and then became nervous.

After politely asking the two to sit down and wait for a while, Assistant Cheng turned and walked out the door.

Chen Yuwen quickly followed her, pulled her aside and asked in a low voice,

“Assistant Cheng, is Qi Jia still auditioning?”

“Well, he hasn’t come out since he went in, so the audition probably isn’t over yet.”

Assistant Cheng nodded and said.

After hearing the answer, Chen Yuwen looked around again, then leaned close to her ear, looking towards the door, and asked,

“I have another question. Is Qin Hao also here to audition for Zhang Dongsheng?”
