18: See you again, Brother Lin, in the live stream! Second audition on set.

Zheng Xin happened to be standing next to the Streamer, his voice full of disdain.

"This guy is the murderer who was broadcasted by some Streamer a while ago."

"I don't know why he's still allowed to be out."

"Poor Streamer, she's probably already been offed."

The Streamer laughed awkwardly.

Excuse me, she was still very much alive.

However, she did feel a bit of a risk of being offed right now.

Because she was too close to that man.

She nervously glanced at the bullet chat, ready to evacuate at any moment.

Her little life was more important.

Unexpectedly, the bullet chat was overwhelmingly supporting Lin Pei; nine out of ten were helping him explain.

"Why are you still calling him a criminal? He was wrongly accused."

"Exactly, the young man just acted too well."

"Look at him now, does he have even a hint of a murderer's aura?"

"Right, and don't you say, he's actually quite handsome."

Having learned the full story from the netizens, the Streamer finally felt relaxed.

After taking a few days off, she seemed to have missed quite a few hot topics.

It was best that he wasn't a criminal.

No need to run.

The Streamer looked at Zheng Xin beside her.

This guy definitely didn't know the situation either.

Should she help explain?

"Cough, it was explained clearly later. It was all a misunderstanding; he's not a murderer."

Zheng Xin snorted.

"The murderer part might be fake, but the Human Trafficker part is always true."

"I've seen that video. A good person can't act like that. I don't believe it."

The resentment and defiance in his heart rose again.

"I just don't understand, why does Director Li insist on using a criminal?"

"Doesn't he value acting skills the most? Has he fallen?"

"Or is this criminal his relative?"

What he didn't know was that these words were overheard by the passing Director Li Bing.

Director Li Bing walked up to the two with his hands behind his back, his expression Bu Shan.

The Streamer was startled and quickly pulled her phone into her arms.

Fortunately, she wasn't discovered.

If the director knew she was streaming, she would definitely be kicked out.

Seeing Zheng Xin's face, Director Li Bing immediately remembered.

This person seemed to be the initial tentative candidate for the 'Action Team Leader'.

No wonder.

His role was replaced, and he was indignant?

He was naturally someone who couldn't stand various injustices and specialized in dealing with all kinds of defiance.

Director Li Bing shouted toward Lin Pei ahead, "Teacher Lin Pei!"

Lin Pei turned his head and quickly came over to them.

The Streamer lowered her head even more, fearing Lin Pei would recognize her.

She was surprised to find that Lin Pei really didn't seem that scary anymore.

Before, he must have been too deep in character, right?

Lin Pei asked Director Li Bing.

"Director, what is it?"

Director Li Bing glanced at Zheng Xin.

"This actor was the tentative choice for your role before. Later, I felt you were more suitable, so I replaced him."

"Now he's a bit unable to accept this result, thinking I gave you some back-door treatment."

"How about this, for the next scene, both of you perform the role once. Whoever performs better gets the role."

"Do you both agree?"

Lin Pei frowned.

He didn't want to agree.

What was this? The contract was already signed, and they were still doing competitions?

But looking at the director's expression, it seemed he had already made up his mind.

How was this asking for his consent?

Fine, after all, he was working in someone else's Film Crew. It wasn't impossible to agree.

Besides, his acting skills had improved greatly recently.

If it's a competition, so be it. He wasn't afraid.

He smiled, "Director, I'll listen to you."

Hearing this, Zheng Xin felt a surge of excitement.

With the director's word, the role was definitely his.

If he couldn't even beat a criminal's acting skills, what face would he have left to stay in the Film Crew?

Let's compete, we must compete!

Everyone in the live stream didn't expect that as soon as the Streamer entered this crew, they would hear such an interesting thing.

"Awesome! First time seeing a Film Crew still fighting over roles after filming has started."

"Don't be so surprised. In Director Li's crew, anything can happen."

"The key is that the two are fighting over a minor supporting role."

"Are they acting the same scene? Em... to be honest, I really want to see it."

"Streamer, I admit your chest is nice, but when are you going to pick up the phone and let us see the others?"

"..."

Soon, everyone in the Film Crew knew the news.

Everyone stopped reciting their lines and gathered around the edge of the set to watch the duel.

"I heard that Zheng Xin graduated from the film academy. His acting should be pretty good, right?"

"Where did our Brother Lin graduate from?"

"I don't know, never heard of it. Netizens were joking before that he graduated from Hengcheng Prison..."

"Brother Lin is indeed suitable for the role of a fierce bandit, but this role is a bit different. I don't know how he'll perform."

"Sigh, I'm a bit worried. I don't want Brother Lin to leave the crew."

"..."

The scene was quickly set up.

This was a scene where the Juntong Action Team Leader interrogates a Female Underground Party Member.

The Action Team Leader uses both soft and hard tactics, while the Female Underground Party Member is brave and fearless, resolutely refusing to reveal a single word.

In the end, the Action Team Leader flies into a rage out of humiliation and tortures the other party to death.

In the interrogation room, the Female Underground Party Member was already tied to a Tiger Bench.

Lin Pei frowned.

The actress playing the Female Underground Party Member seemed to be a temporary one?

He remembered that in his past life, the actress in the TV series didn't look like this.

Director Li Bing shouted.

"Is everyone ready?"

Soon, the one sitting on the Tiger Bench, Qin Rong, who played 'Poisonous Mushroom', replied calmly, "Ready, Director."

Director Li nodded, his face showing some admiration.

He remembered this Extra.

She had only been acting for less than half a month, but she had great talent and made rapid progress.

Although she could only start as an Extra, her acting skills could be said to be the best among these small roles.

It could be said that once Qin Rong sat there, that feeling of pain yet determination immediately came out.

Director Li believed that in time, Qin Rong would likely become a character actor.

Outside the room, Zheng Xin had already changed into the same Juntong military uniform as Lin Pei, a ruthless look appearing on his face as he prepared to go on stage.

At this moment, 'Poisonous Mushroom' on the Tiger Bench actually had a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth.

She heard this young man graduated from the film academy.

His acting skills were just so-so.

Only people with life experience like them could act well.

Director Li shouted "Action."

Upon hearing the sound, the lead and the Extra all entered their characters.

Zheng Xin walked quickly into the interrogation room and stood in front of Qin Rong.

A fierce smile pulled at the corner of his mouth, and he questioned her loudly.

"Poisonous Mushroom, account for your affairs!"

Qin Rong's eyes were calm as she looked directly into Zheng Xin's eyes.

"I have nothing to account for."

Calm and composed.

Zheng Xin snorted coldly, "Good, good, you won't talk, right?"

"Someone, bring the torture."

In an instant, Zheng Xin was flying into a rage, speaking with malice.

In contrast, Qin Rong still sat on the bench with a calm face, her expression not changing at all.

It was clearly a look of facing death with equanimity.

"Cut!"

Outside the camera, Director Li's brows were tightly knit.

Zheng Xin's performance seemed to have no major problems, but in reality, the problem was not small.

He and Qin Rong were just acting their own parts.

Zheng Xin's performance didn't provoke any reaction from Qin Rong at all.

"Zheng Xin, although she didn't reveal anything until her death, your performance should be able to make her have some emotional changes."

"Adjust yourself; you two need to have emotional communication."

"Understand?"
