Chapter 121: Same Family, Still Too Immature (Ch 121)

“Okay, you can go out now.”

Director Xin nodded to Assistant Cheng, then looked at Qi Jia and Qin Hao.

“Time is limited. You can just act out the scene where Zhang Dongsheng is questioned at the police station after killing his father-in-law and mother-in-law. If you are ready, we can start right away?”

After saying this, he raised his index finger and added,

“If you have any new ideas for the script, you are allowed to improvise on the spot! But remember that each person only has one chance!”

Hearing this, Qi Jia’s eyes flashed a little strange, but soon returned to normal.

He was deeply impressed by this scene, so after Director Xin finished speaking, he nodded immediately.

After thinking for more than ten seconds, Qin Hao also nodded.

“Okay, then Qin Hao will go first, you play Zhang Dongsheng, and Qi Jia, you play the policeman.”

After getting the answer, Director Xin did not ask the two to be polite about who should go first, but directly called out their names.

The two nodded at the same time, neither of them had any objections.

Then Qi Jia dragged over two chairs and gave one to Qin Hao. After sitting down, he glanced at Director Xin.

“start!”

Director Xin said directly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Hao’s eyes instantly turned red.

He just sat there, hunched over slightly with his head lowered, as if he was trying hard to suppress his sadness.

Qi Jia sat aside, watching quietly, but he was full of admiration in his heart.

This is called professionalism, the ability to get into the role in seconds alone is something that those young actors who have only practiced for two and a half years cannot compare to.

“…At first, I didn’t agree with them going up there, but my dad was having a great time today and insisted on going up there. He also said the light was good up there and he wanted to take a photo with my mom, so I went up there with them.”

Qin Hao’s fingers and shoulders trembled slightly, his eyes looked ahead blankly, and he slowly began to speak.

After each sentence, he would pause for one to two seconds, using this method to convey the character’s sadness to the audience.

Seeing Qin Hao’s superb performance, the two producers couldn’t help but show satisfaction on their faces and nodded unconsciously.

But Director Xin still had a blank expression on his face, but when he glanced in the direction of the Third Master,

Seeing that his brows were furrowed and his eyes were slightly narrowed, his expression was serious, and he looked at Qin Hao with a serious look.

Seeing this expression, Director Xin couldn’t help but secretly praise in his heart, your uncle is always your uncle. The Third Master obviously also discovered a hint of mistake in Qin Hao’s performance just now.

Not long after he sighed in his heart, when he turned his eyes back to the field, he was shocked to find that Qi Jia’s reaction was actually almost the same as the Third Master’s.

The only difference was that Qi Jia merely frowned, his eyes looked a little serious, but there was no expression on his face.

“Could it be that he has discovered it, too? That shouldn’t be the case, unless this kid is really a monster.”

Director Xin was secretly surprised and couldn’t help but ponder.

…

“How did that person fall?” Qi Jia started to answer.

Hearing that Qi Jia took the role, Qin Hao’s sadness became even stronger. He shook his head and said in a low voice,

“I don’t know either……”

Director Xin stared at the two people’s performance intently, his eyes switching back and forth between Qi Jia and Qin Hao.

There was a thoughtful look on his face, and at the same time, the pen in his hand was writing something on the notebook.

“…Sign the transcript. You will need to go to the scene with us later.”

After Qi Jia finished speaking, he stood up, patted Qin Hao on the shoulder, and walked to the side.

Qin Hao still kept his head down, wiping his tears.

“Crack!”

After a pause of about 5 seconds, Director Xin called for a stop, and then directly said,

“Role reversal, next game, start right away.”

After saying this, Qi Jia and Qin Hao did not hesitate. After exchanging positions, they immediately began to perform.

Qi Jia leaned sideways, weakly sitting on the corner of the chair, his body leaning forward slightly, the heavy sadness seemed to have crushed his spine.

His elbows were placed on his thighs, and he looked at the ground with empty eyes. Tears were welling up in his eye sockets but they did not fall.

“My wife had something to do today, so I brought them here alone. My father usually has high blood pressure, so at first, I didn’t agree with them going up…”

Qi Jia spoke slowly, his voice was choked, low and hoarse, he paused for one to two seconds between each sentence, his tone did not fluctuate much, revealing a sense of fragility and helpless pain.

Seeing Qi Jia’s performance, Qin Hao’s expression was a mixture of admiration and regret.

Based on the dialogue of this one sentence alone, he recognized Qi Jia’s acting skills from the bottom of his heart.

Before this, he had always been disdainful of traffic artists like Xiaoxianrou, who had no acting skills at all and looked like prostitutes.

But now, he had to admit that Qi Jia was really something, different from those young handsome guys like Brother Ji and Brother Electric Eel.

However, in this audition, I was ultimately slightly better.

Because the emotions expressed by Qi Jia were exactly the same as his own, and now that he had his own example,

If he continues to act like this, it would be a bit like aping someone else.

“What a pity! Qi Jia, you are still too young compared to me!”

Qin Hao thought to himself, feeling quite pleased that the world’s ups and downs were created by his generation.

Unlike him, Director Xin looked at Qi Jia with more approval.

“It seems that this boy is indeed a demon. He has already noticed that something was wrong with Qin Hao just now.”

Looking at the Third Master again, he was also sitting with his legs crossed, looking at Qi Jia with an interested expression.

“…I didn’t know how to use the camera, so I just listened to my dad talking while he fiddled with the camera.

When I heard my mom yelling, I looked up and they had already fallen.”

At this point, Qi Jia’s acting skills have reached a climax. His brows are furrowed, the corners of his mouth droop slightly, and his facial muscles are tense.

When he said the last sentence, he sighed heavily and shook his head weakly, as if he remembered the scene at that time.

The guilt and grief overwhelmed him.

The tears that had been accumulating in his eyes for a long time naturally slid down. Qi Jia held his brow and sighed heavily again, falling into deep self-blame.

According to the script, the play should end here.

Qin Hao stood up, said his lines, and walked to the side.

Director Xin saw that it was almost done, put down the pen in his hand, and was about to call for a stop.

Unexpectedly, Qi Jia, who had been lowering his head, slowly raised his head, looked forward with a dull expression, and said in a hoarse voice,

“It’s all my fault~”

When he said this, everyone was shocked. Director Xin opened his mouth wide, and the word “click” came to his lips, but no sound came out.

The Third Master even put down his crossed legs, stood up, walked forward a few steps, stared at Qi Jia with shining eyes.

Qin Hao’s head buzzed, and his originally good mood suddenly fell to the bottom. There was only one thought left in his mind:

“It’s bad, he changed the play!”

Just when everyone was looking forward to what Qi Jia would do next, he spoke again.

“It’s all my fault~”

The lines are the same! But there is a five-second pause between the two sentences.

Moreover, the second sentence shocked everyone even more than the first one, because Qi Jia’s expression changed!
