"I hope it's not a scare. My little heart can't stand it."
Producer Wang rubbed his eyes and said self-mockingly. That kind of sad atmosphere was so infectious that he was still in tears.
Unexpectedly, Pan Yigang and Producer Wang didn't respond. He looked at them in confusion, only to find that they were staring at Ding Ning with a shocked and dull expression.
Subconsciously, Producer Wang looked up and trembled. He was also dumbfounded, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Ding Ning stood up shakily, and his face was wet with tears. He reached out his trembling hand to grab the corpse hanging on the tree, as if he wanted to touch his close relative who had been separated from him by death.
But because of the violent fluctuations in his emotions, his legs were weak. He staggered but couldn't hold on. The lonely figure raised his powerless hands high and clawed helplessly, as if he was questioning the heavens. Why are you treating me so cruelly?
This scene seemed to be fixed in people's hearts, becoming a sad picture that they could never erase.
The regret, self-blame, guilt, sadness, and despair of a wanderer who returned from a long journey and wanted to raise his parents, but they were not with him. At this moment, Ding Ning played it to the bone, which made the already sad atmosphere escalate again. The onlookers shed tears one after another, and some emotional ones even began to sob softly, turning their heads away because they could not bear to watch anymore.
But what moved Pan Yigang and others was Ding Ning's expression at the moment. His eyes were empty, numb, dim, listless, decadent, and even lifeless. His straight back was bent, and he stood there in a daze, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world. His loneliness and desolation made people feel sorry for him.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew.
How could there be wind in the room? But everyone took it for granted that there should be wind blowing.
A sad and beautiful picture involuntarily emerged in everyone's mind. The wind blew, but it blew the decayed corpses of Su Mubai's parents.
A piece of wreckage fell from the corpses, and Ding Ning instinctively reached out to catch it, as if he was holding the most precious jewel in the world. His dead eyes instantly changed, full of attachment and reluctance. He gently stroked the wreckage holding the corpses in his arms like touching the skin of his lover, and his tears uncontrollably fell on the corpses.
The next moment, his eyes narrowed, and he seemed to find the traces of fracture on the corpses, which made him realize that his parents had been tortured inhumanely before they died, and then they were hung on the tree in the sun. After a long time, his expression and eyes changed again.
The attachment passed away, and was replaced by ocean-like hatred and anger. He was like a volcano that accumulated terrible energy and would erupt at any time. The invisible and terrifying pressure spread, making everyone silent.
"Gulp!"
Everyone swallowed and couldn't help shivering. They all took two steps back, as if they were facing a dreadful monster, and their eyes were full of horror and fear.
At this moment, Ding Ning looked too terrifying in their eyes. Hatred had already turned his eyes scarlet, and his temperament had changed greatly. From a sunny, cheerful, high-spirited young man, he had turned into a young man who exuded coldness, hatred, indifference, and violence all over his body.
There was no expression on his face, so calm that it made people's hearts palpitate, but the sense of danger from the depths of his soul made everyone tremble.
What kind of acting was this? How could a person have two completely opposite temperaments at the same time? Did he have a split personality?
But, was it possible?
Everyone denied this guess, and marveled at Ding Ning's shocking acting skills.
But they didn't know that Ding Ning had really activated his second personality. He was a person who strived for perfection. Since it was an audition, he naturally had to do his best. If it weren't for the fact that being possessed was not suitable for this occasion, he would not hesitate to use it!
Although he was only acting out a seemingly inconspicuous scene in the script, it was actually the most important turning point of the entire storyline.
Su Mubai's family was slaughtered, and it caused his temperament to change greatly because of hatred. From a talented warrior with a bright future, he became a bloody butcher who would do anything for revenge.
Therefore, the most difficult part of this scene was how to act out his mental journey of hatred after he found out that his parents were tortured to death and had to suffer the hardships of being exposed to the elements.
Song Ziyi was completely dumbfounded. She had never thought that a playboy like Ding Ning would play the leading male role with her. Moreover, his acting skills were off the charts, which made her feel heavy pressure.
She played the female lead, Qi Wanying, in the Legend of the Sword and Fairy Companion. This character was the daughter of the Haotian Sect's leader, and also Su Mubai's junior sister. The two of them were in love with each other, and they loved each other, but they had never broken through.
It was said that Su Mubai was cruel and merciless. He killed innocent people indiscriminately, treated human life as grass, and brought disaster to Jianghu. He was not tolerated by the world, and all the heroes in the world besieged the murderous maniac Su Mubai.
Only Qi Wanying firmly believed that the kindness in Su Mubai's heart was not completely extinguished. She did not hesitate to risk many times to save Su Mubai, and wanted to call back his conscience. Unfortunately, Su Mubai did not appreciate it. He beat and scolded her, drove her away, and did not let her follow him.
After Su Mubai's unremitting efforts and investigation, he finally found out the truth. However, the truth was too cruel. The people who killed his family turned out to be Qi Wanying's father, the leader of the Haotian Sect.
The reason was that the Haotian Sect's position as the number one in the world was threatened due to a lack of successors. Su Mubai was a genius and the best successor chosen by the leader of the Haotian Sect. Unfortunately, he missed his parents, and always insisted on leaving the Haotian Sect to go home to take care of them.
In order to maintain the sect's reputation as the number one in the world, the leader of the Haotian Sect ordered people to kill his family, cut off his way out, and forced him to give up the secular world. He could only stay in the Haotian Sect to serve the sect.
This reason might sound funny, but behind the joke was a heavy thought. It was the style of the Pan family to satirize reality.
As the male and female leads, the two of them had many opportunities to act together. This made Song Zi Yi feel a lot of pressure. As the Heavenly Queen, if she were to be suppressed by a newcomer on her first film, it would be extremely embarrassing.
"He really hasn't acted before? How is this possible? "
Yang Mi's throat was a little dry. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva and said to herself in disbelief.
"I don't believe it either. Even the Best Actor is no better than this, right?"
Diba was dumbfounded. He remembered that he had to cover for him before, and his face was a little hot. This boast was too big.
"I thought it was a playboy, but I didn't expect it to be a Godzilla!"
Murong Poxiao was a popular star. In terms of acting skills, he was at the bottom of the list, but this didn't stop her from seeing whether the acting was good or bad. Ding Ning's acting skills were definitely at the Best Actor level.
"Who would believe that a person who has never acted before could move everyone's emotions with just his body language. This film will definitely be popular, very popular."
Tong Liya's eyes were shining, and she looked at Director Pan with a fiery gaze. If it was possible, she also wanted to act. Even if it was just a supporting role, it would be able to raise her status to another level.
"It's a pity. Director Pan is famous for being picky when it comes to choosing actors. Now that the actor has been chosen, it's impossible to act."
Guan Xiaotong said with some regret, pouring cold water on Tong Liya's hopes.
Yang Mi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she stared at Ding Ning with a fiery gaze. He had a good figure, good looks, and good acting skills. He definitely had the potential to become a superstar. If she remembered correctly, he didn't seem to have signed a contract with any management company. If she could sign him …
Secretly glancing at Ouyang Yuntian, who still had a dull expression on his face, she lightly bit her pink lips and frowned as she pondered. This was her biggest competitor at present.
She didn't believe that Ouyang Yuntian wouldn't be moved when he met such a potential seedling. However, what conditions should she offer to defeat him?
“CUT！”
Director Pan excitedly slapped his thigh and shouted, startling everyone.
The gloomy temperament on Ding Ning's face quickly dissipated, and he returned to his sunny and healthy image.
"Okay, okay, get into character at any time, and act freely. Tomorrow … No, let's sign the contract now. Producer Wang, quick, bring the contract over."
Director Pan shouted impatiently, as if he was afraid that Ding Ning would change his mind.
Producer Wang excitedly took out the contract from his bag and handed it to Director Pan. He knew that the crew had picked up a treasure this time.
"Mr. Ding, congratulations. You've passed the audition. As long as you sign the contract, the role of male lead will be yours."
Director Pan seemed to realize that he had lost his composure. He stopped smiling and said seriously, but his fiery eyes still betrayed his excitement.
Ding Ning took the contract and was about to sign it without even looking at it.
"Wait!"
"Wait!"
Yang Mi and Ouyang Yuntian shouted at the same time. Ding Ning subconsciously stopped and looked at them in confusion. "What's wrong?"
Pan Yigang's face suddenly darkened, and he said unhappily, "What do you mean?"
Yang Mi's scalp went numb, but in order to win the favor of Ding Ning, a potential star, she didn't care about offending Director Pan. She nodded apologetically at Pan Yigang, then looked at Ding Ning and said, "Mr. Ding, you don't have an agent, and you're not familiar with this industry. I think it's better to read the contract carefully before making a decision."
Ouyang Yuntian also nodded repeatedly. "Yes, no matter what contract it is, you need to read it word by word before signing it. Well, Sister Lan, help Mr. Ding read the contract carefully."
Sister Lan looked at Ouyang Yuntian with a strange expression, but she still cooperated and said, "Okay."
Yang Mi was annoyed and secretly cursed the sly old man. He even directly sent someone to help Ding Ning read the contract. In the first confrontation, she fell into a disadvantageous position.
Pan Yigang's face was as black as charcoal, and he was annoyed. They suspected that there was something fishy about his employment contract. He immediately said with a cold face, "Do you think I will treat Mr. Ding badly?"
"I'm sorry, Director Pan. I trust your character, but as Mr. Ding's friend, it's always right to remind him to be careful."
In order to leave a good impression, Yang Mi answered first.
Ouyang Yuntian smiled and said nothing, but he was secretly amused. "Yang Mi, Yang Mi, you think too much. It's impossible for the big boss of our Tiangong Entertainment to sign a contract with anyone. Even if he signs a brokerage contract, it's impossible for him to sign a contract with your studio."
Ding Ning was stunned and subconsciously glanced at Yang Mi, thinking, "When did I become your friend? But when he thought that she was Song Ziyi's friend, and her starting point was indeed for his own good, he would suffer a little loss."
But when he looked at Director Pan's ugly face again and thought that he still had to get along with him in the crew, he immediately made a decision. He smiled at Sister Lan, who was about to take the contract in his hand, and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Sister Lan, but really, I don't need to. I trust Director Pan."
Pan Yigang's face suddenly turned gloomy. He glanced at Ouyang Yuntian and Yang Mi provocatively and snorted coldly.
Sister Lan stood there, not knowing whether to leave or not. She looked at Ouyang Yuntian with an embarrassed expression.
