Chapter 421
"Are you sure you want to do that scene?" Wei An asked with a trace of doubt .
"Yes," Tanging nodded in certainty .
"As you wish!" After speaking, Wei An gestured for his assistant to hand him the script . After familiarizing himself with the scene, he prompted to Tangning, "Let's get started . . . "
In reality, he did not truly care about fulfilling her request . He was simply challenging her to show him what she could offer .
So, he sat down in his chair, placed one foot on a dummy and pointed his fake gun at another one . . .
Tangning squatted about 2 meters from him . Her head was initially down, but, as she lifted it, her eyes were red with a complex mix of anger, panic and disappointment . She instantly shocked the judges!
In this moment, she was no longer Tangning - she had become the female fighter!
"You've been missing for 12 years, so I searched for you for 12 years . Everyone said I was crazy . One time, I saw someone wearing similar clothes to you drown . I hugged their dead body and cried for an entire day thinking it was you!"
Tangning lowered her voice as it became raspy and heavy . The slight tremble in her questioning tone made the judges surprised once again .
Wei An's mind went blank for a moment, not knowing how to respond . He had never imagined that Tangning would get into character so quickly and bring the female fighter to life so vividly .
"Wait, let's start again," Wei An requested .
Tangning immediately drew back her expression and converted back to her usual calm self; it only took her a second to do so . Although she still had the same makeup on, it was clear to see that Tangning was Tangning and the female fighter was the female fighter .
Wei An was once again shocked . This time, he decided to take her seriously . After all, he had previously studied her acting and understood he shouldn't underestimate this model-turned-actress .
A moment later, they were prepared for a second try . Once again, Tangning had her head lowered . To everyone's surprise, she picked up exactly where she left off and did not need to start again .
"Our child stood beside me and told me the body in my arms was not his father; that I had made a mistake . In the end, I laughed and cried as the real family members dragged the body away . You b*stard!" Tangning's voice sped up and became louder as an extra layer of suffering and hatred could be heard .
"You are a police officer and I am a criminal, it's impossible for us to walk the same path," Wei An finally caught on as he opened his eyes wide and sneered at Tanging .
"We will definitely walk the same path . We can walk the same path to death!" After speaking, Tangning suddenly pounced towards Wei An . . .
Wei An responded by shooting her . Tangning held onto her waist in pain as she lay on top of him, biting his arm .
Wei An had always been strict towards himself: whilst having high expectations for others, he naturally had high expectations for himself . As a result, he was actually well-trained in martial arts . But, as he entered into a fight with Tangning, he actually found it a challenge to win against her .
Because at this moment, the female fighter had completely disregarded the possibility of death . As she fought with him, her every punch was powerful and firm . . .
As for the thing that made Wei An the most amazed: Tangning's skill and posture was comparable to Gu Heng's! Especially the look in her eyes . . . The look that she was fighting with all she had!
Although, in the end, she was still restrained by him, Wei An could not forget the look in her eyes . The hopeful look that if she persisted she would be free, made him once again stunned .
The person in front of him . . .
. . . was like a person that had jumped right out of his script . She was so realistic and relatable .
But, Tangning's performance had come to an end because of time constraints . . .
The judges were speechless for quite some time afterwards . They could not believe that someone was capable of acting so realistically that it made them break out in a cold sweat . . .
Wei An also froze in place . It took him quite some time before he finally recovered from his daze . He had never seen an actor with such convincing power .
For the sake of the role, she allowed it to fuse with her life .
Others acted; they acted as someone else . But, Tangning became the character and was merely performing as herself!
Wei An was extremely regretful . How could he have assumed that Tangning couldn't do action? Wei An hated using stunt doubles because he felt it ruined the dynamics of his films, so he wondered . . .
"Do you use stunt doubles?" Wei An asked straightforwardly .
"I did not use one in 'Stupid' nor 'W . H . '" Tanging replied . "Regardless, I'm willing to learn even the hardest moves myself . "
"Great," Wei An nodded his head firmly . He then pointed to Tangning and said with certainty, "I don't want anyone but you for 'The Lost Relative'!"
Hearing this, the other people in the room were shocked again . They had never heard Wei An say such words to an actor during their audition .
Not only this, he immediately turned to his assistant and said, "The female lead has been decided . Following on . . . we will audition for the supporting roles . "
"Thank you, Director Wei," Tangning bowed thankfully .
"I have one last question before you leave . I was sure I told someone to notify you the auditions were at 3pm, how come you arrived early?" Wei An asked straightforwardly . Since Tangning had arrived, it meant she was an intelligent person . He did not need to talk to an intelligent person in a roundabout way .
"I arrived at 9am," Tangning also replied straightforwardly, "Regardless of the time, I was determined to get the role . "
What Tangning meant was - for the sake of the role - she had made a lot of preparations . She even arrived early and waited patiently without revealing the dirty methods that had been used on her . She did this to save Wei An some pride .
And Wei An responded, "I deliberately made things difficult for you . "
"But, it's obvious to see that you were born for this industry!" After speaking, he returned to his seat, "You may leave . We can discuss your contact tomorrow . "
"OK," Tangning nodded with a smile . She then exited the audition room as the judges sipped frantically at their glasses of water .
"She's quite frightening . . . I've never seen anyone capable of getting in and out of character so easily . I can't believe she's only been acting for less than half a year . "
"But, the act of studying other people is something she's done for the last decade," Wei An responded . "What I'm most surprised with, is the fact that her fighting moves are quite impressive . It seems she has done a lot to prepare for this role . "
"I guess you have no way of rejecting an actress like this?" the other judges laughed . "I wonder how she managed to make me break out in a cold sweat from watching her . "
"This must be a gift from God . "
Even if God had given her the talent, without hard work, how would she have amazed everyone?
Wei An was well aware of this . Especially since he noticed the bruises on the back of her hands . It seemed, she had high expectations for herself .
Elder Mo was still seated in the hidden corner as he nodded his head in approval . His granddaughter-in-law had quite a personality . It was definitely worth his time to continue analyzing her .
