The first to arrive was a young Caucasian actor. He had a head of light blond hair and a delicate face with some red spots and freckles. In an international metropolis like Hong Kong, it was very normal for foreign actors to appear. For example, one-fifth of the freshmen of the Hong Kong Academy of Arts were white or black. After seeing Qin Long's appearance, he could not help but frown. He was also very surprised by Qin Long's youth. However, he still handed his resume to Qin Long and introduced himself nervously,""Hi, how are you? My name is Cameron Reiter.”
Qin Long flipped through his resume. He was born in 1991 and was 20 years old this year. He had taken acting classes in high school and participated in local stage plays. After graduating from high school, he came to Hong Kong to make a living. However, his acting experience in the past two years was almost all extras, which meant that he had no lines.
He looked at Cameron Reiter and asked,""Reiter, if you were asked to explore a witch, what would be your first reaction?”
Cameron Reiter frowned and thought for a moment before carefully saying,"Maybe it's exciting."
Excitement? Qin Long immediately made a cross in his heart. However, Reiter had come so early. It was obvious that he attached great importance to this interview. He continued to ask calmly," Then, let's say it's late at night. You're sleeping with a few companions in a deserted forest. You're sleeping soundly, but suddenly, there's a strange sound, including the voice of a child and the sound of an unknown object rubbing against the sides of the tent. Then, he fled his tent and hid in the dark forest in panic until dawn.”He made a gesture of invitation and said,"Please show me your panicked expression."”
"Okay, okay, let me think about it first.”Cameron Reiter lowered his head and thought for a moment. After a while, he took a deep breath and said,"Then I'll start." Qin Long nodded and looked at him.
Reiter closed his eyes and frowned. He looked left and right with a terrified expression, as if he did not know what to do. In the end, he fled in panic. After the performance, he let out a long breath and looked at Qin Long nervously and expectantly.""Just like that."
His acting skills were too strong and he was deeply influenced by stage plays. He could not perform in a DV movie that was more suited for everyday life. Qin Long made another cross in his heart and shook his head.""I'm very sorry, Reiter. You don't meet my requirements…"
"Oh my God!" Reiter immediately hugged his head as he suffered a heavy blow. His voice trembled as he hurriedly said,"Can you let me perform again? Alright, alright?" Before Qin Long could answer, she put on a panicked expression.
" No, no, I'm very sorry, I'm very sorry…" Qin Long handed the resume back to her."Reiter, your performance hasn't gotten rid of the style of a stage play. This is a DV movie, so I need a real-life performance, so the interview is over.”
Reiter took the resume with a depressed expression and stood up."Thank you for the opportunity to interview." After saying that, he left dejectedly.
Although Qin Long specifically stated that the salary was very low, who cared? In this world where entertainment was developed, acting in a movie was as enviable and respected as being a lawyer on Earth. Therefore, there were many people who came for interviews. In one morning, Qin Long had already interviewed nearly 20 people. None of them were very good and did not meet his basic requirements.
Looking at the muscular man in front of him, Qin Long asked,"If you were sleeping in a deserted forest with a few companions and heard a strange sound, what would you do?”
"I guess I'll curse out loud.”The muscular man cursed and said fiercely,"Which bastard woke me up?”
Qin Long almost couldn't help but wail. The result of this act was that the horror film had become a comedy! "I'm sorry, sir. You can't meet my requirements…" He shook his head.
Qin Long looked at his watch. It was almost 12 o'clock, so he called the waiter over and told him that if anyone came for an interview, he would say that he had gone out for dinner and that the interview would continue at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
When Qin Long returned from lunch, he saw an ordinary-looking boy sitting in front of his table. Qin Long walked up and asked with a smile," Are you here for the interview?”
"Yes." Although the man was a little surprised by Qin Long's youth, his tone was very calm.
Qin Long looked at the man in front of him in surprise. He looked very ordinary. That's right, very ordinary. Usually, very few people with ordinary looks like him would choose to be an actor unless they had strong confidence in their acting skills. Qin Long began to grow interested in this ordinary-looking man.
Qin Long took a look at his resume. Lin Yuhong. His name was not bad. Eh, he had once won the first prize in a drama competition in the Nine Dragons District. Qin Long sized up the man in front of him again. "If you were sleeping in a deserted forest with a few companions and heard a strange sound, what would you do?”
Lin Yuhong didn't rush to answer. Instead, he asked," That's the theme of the movie.”
"Oh, what do you mean?" Qin Long's interest grew.
"If it's a horror movie, it's panic and fear. If it was a mystery film, they would feel suspicious and curious. If it's a comedy, I'll say 'Hey, if you want to scare people, I can help you.”
"Then act out the effects of a horror movie.”
Lin Yuhong closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening his eyes.
"Heavens, what is that?" Lin Yuhong whispered to his companion beside him with a hint of fear and complaint on his face. Following the sound of footsteps, his breathing began to become a little hurried and suppressed. His head did not move, but his hands were shaking his companion beside him.
“GOOD!”Qin Long's eyes lit up. Before he could finish his performance, he cheered,""That's it. This is the performance I want!”
Unlike Cameron Reiter, who was influenced by the stage play, his performance was inclined towards body language. Lin Yuhong's series of expressions, reactions, and actions were very natural. It was almost as if he was performing with micro-expressions. He understood the director's intention in arranging this scene. The suppressed breathing would make the audience more nervous. Although the breathing became a little too fast, considering that they were on the street and not in the scene, it was already very rare for him to have such skill.
"Lin Yuhong, congratulations on joining." Qin Long said sincerely and happily.
"Really? Thank you, thank you." Lin Yuhong, who had always been calm, could no longer maintain his calm expression after hearing Qin Long's invitation. He said excitedly. After all, he was just a young man who had just graduated from high school.
"Yes, Lin Yuhong." Qin Long looked at the excited Lin Yuhong and said with a smile.
"Sorry, I was just too excited just now.”Lin Yuhong suppressed the excitement in his heart and said apologetically.
Qin Long understood Lin Yuhong's feelings very well. He just smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind.
"Let's talk about the role.”Qin Long excitedly told the story of the movie, as well as the personality traits of the male lead.
"This movie is all about psychology, so we need to let the audience scare themselves. This requires a high sense of immersion. Of course, this is also the benefit of first-person DV movies. He thought of a dark cinema with a big screen in front of him. The audience followed the male lead's camera lens as if they were the person holding the DV, and then suddenly... Wow! I think the audience in the cinema will be scared to death.”Qin Long spoke excitedly and could not help but describe his imagination of the future.
Lin Yuhong was stunned this time and asked curiously,""Movie theater? I thought this was just your assessment work.”
Assessment work? It could be considered! Qin Long shook his head with a smile and said confidently,""No, it's not just an assessment work. It's also a movie that can be put on the big screen. I'm sure it'll be published and it'll do well at the box office.”
"Maybe." Lin Yuhong didn't really believe it, but in order not to dampen Qin Long's passion, he agreed.
Qin Long could also see Lin Yuhong's suspicion, but it was understandable. After all, when Qin Long first heard that a movie that cost tens of thousands of dollars could actually earn hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, he did not believe it either. However, Qin Long believed that he would surprise everyone.
Then, Qin Long talked to Lin Yuhong about the details of the movie. Before Lin Yuhong left, he asked for his phone number so that he could contact him.
Now that he had a male lead, he would be able to shoot a movie if he found another one. He would be able to realize his dream of being a director. Alright, our Qin Long was getting excited again.
Throughout the afternoon, people who came for interviews kept coming. Not including Lin Yuhong, Qin Long had already interviewed at least 30 men, but he still had no results.
Damn it, almost all the actors who came for the interview had only been extras before. They had never acted in a role with lines or a single scene. It was not surprising that they did not meet the requirements.
Just as Qin Long decided to pack up and leave, a handsome young man walked over. Qin Long sized up the young man. Fine, he was indeed very handsome. His face was chiseled, his skin was fair, and his long hair was elegant and handsome. He was dressed in branded clothes. To be exact, he was a little crossdresser. According to a girl's aesthetic standards, he was a very handsome man, a tall, handsome, and rich man, the best Prince Charming among girls. According to Qin Long's aesthetic standards, he was a gigolo, a crossdresser. Because in Qin Long's heart, he was the most handsome, and he often felt pressure because of this. It had to be said that Qin Long was not an ordinary narcissist.
