Mo Shaoqing stepped forward to draw lots, opened the note, and breathed a sigh of relief.

This was not a particularly difficult passage, but one of the four great tragedies by Shakespeare, a famous writer from Y Country during the Renaissance- "The Merchant of Venice".

He had read it before because of academic needs. Later, when he went to B Country, he found that Ans had a large study room in his home, and the bookshelves several meters high were full of original works. He read it again, and Ans helped him correct the pronunciation.

So this drama was still very simple for him. So lucky! But Mo Shaoqing didn't dare to slack off at all. He probably scanned all the words. This was also a very classic part of it.

He cleared his throat and began to read,

"Do people have to put their lives to death for things they don’t like?"

Then the words changed and his voice changed, as if he had become another person. "Who would hate something he is unwilling to kill?"

"The first offense should not lead to hatred."

"What? Are you willing to be bitten twice by a poisonous snake?"

Mo Shaoqing read very seriously and was very involved, so he didn't see the directors on the judges' bench nodding frequently.

But Mo Shaoqing was stopped halfway through reading.

Li Su put down his pen and said sternly to Mo Shaoqing, "I have a few questions to ask you."

"Yes."

"Have you learned your Y language in particular? It has a very special flavor."

"Yes!"

"Very good!" commented a foreign judge.

"Although it is not marked, I still know that this is a conversation between Bassanio and Sherlock. It is full of conflict. You have a good grasp of the emotions." Li Su said.

"It is said that you have not studied acting specifically. You studied music in college?"

Mo Shaoqing was a little anxious. He knew that these great directors valued qualifications.

"Yes, but I have been learning since I joined the company."

"Don't worry." Li Su said with a smile, "It's just a common understanding."

"Do you know what type of movie we are planning to shoot this time?"

"I don't know." Mo Shaoqing told the truth. Director Li Su has a very changeable style. He had also shot cartoons... so this time, he really didn't know.

"Haha, okay, you go draw a lot and act a part! You can go down and prepare."

Mo Shaoqing followed the instructions and took out a note and opened it. There was only one sentence on it: showing fear and unwillingness to face death.

Fear and unwillingness? Die?

Mo Shaoqing did not start performing immediately, but walked to the lounge next door to prepare.

Actually... he was too nervous just now, and now he felt like he was in a dream when he sat on the chair, so... did he pass the first test?

But...

Mo Shaoqing picked up the note, death? Was this an art film?

Fear and unwillingness?

If it's fear, then a frightened expression was really the best. But in fact, many artists didn't know that fright and fear were different, so they always open their eyes wide or stare during performances.

But this was not the difficult part of this section. The difficulty lied in the fact that the plot before and after was not explained. He didn’t know why he died, he didn’t know why he was afraid, and he didn’t know why he was unwilling.

Mo Shaoqing fell into deep thought.

What were you most afraid of?

Fear? Once, at the moment of the car accident, he thought he would never find his biological parents again. He was unwilling to accept it, and he hated it.

Mo Shaoqing closed his eyes and took himself into the previous life, only to realize that this scene seemed to still be yesterday. Even if the current life was happy, he had never forgotten it.

He still remembered the moment when the truck came over, and he wanted to stop it, but the driver hit the fence while making a sharp turn. Then another huge impact made his head spin. After he woke up, he was trapped in the cramped car.

He heard the screams of passers-by and the sirens of police cars.

He wanted to speak, but a steady stream of blood dyed his vision red.

At that moment, the entire vision turned bright red, tears mixed with blood spread on the asphalt road, and finally were deeply imprinted on the ground.

The overwhelming pain made his whole body tremble, and he shouted softly, "Help— me— help—"

But no one heard his faint cry, and his eyes slowly dimmed and gradually lost focus...

"OK, CUT!" Li Su and Yazawa Makoto looked back and forth at the footage they had just taken three times. Their years of tacit understanding made them smile at each other.

Mo Shaoqing was immediately helped up by the assistant, then took the water and towel and walked to Li Su and Yazawa.

"Director Li, Director Yazawa, how do you like this scene?"

"Okay, very good! Shaoqing you are really talented."

Li Su played back the scene captured in the camera. The pure black eyes of the handsome young man reflected a human zombie walking towards him. He just watched the zombie bite his neck, with something in his eyes. Fear, but soon was taken over by unwillingness, and more importantly, disappointment. Slowly, he closed his eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I just saw your audition before I decided to hire you." Li Su patted Mo Shaoqing on the shoulder happily. It's really like the waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead. Now the new generation in China actually had such acting skills.

Mo Shaoqing didn't dare to take credit. The fact that the filming was so good this time was actually entirely due to empathy.
