Chapter 6 Actors Are a Big Problem

"A Letter from Home" is a thrilling suspense novel. It mainly tells the story of two men and two women who share a living together, but are entangled by evil ghosts because they accidentally played the Bixian game.

The novel is presented in the form of a letter from home, so there are greetings when you speak.

"I" told my parents about everything I had experienced during this period in the form of a letter from home, and it was written until the end. "I" saw my good friend Lei and two evil ghosts coming in, and the letter from home was over.

The first person often appears in short and medium-length thriller suspense novels because the first person has the advantage of being more convenient for lyrical, that is, expressing emotions at the main perspective.

Especially when expressing emotions like fear, the third perspective is often not as extreme as the first perspective.

However, third-person novels can also solve this problem, that is, when expressing fear, try to limit perspective, create unknowns, and enhance fear.

First-person has advantages, but naturally there are disadvantages, otherwise there will be no shortage of first-person novels on the market.

The most important point is that the first person requires a certain ability to write and plot control. Unless you originally wrote about what you have experienced, the fiction of the novel will easily be exposed between the lines.

Exposing fiction may be a good thing in some novels. For example, some literary works that deliberately use meta-narrative language, exposing fiction is the author's purpose.

However, in popular works, especially in thrillers and suspense novels, exposing fiction is often fatal.

Even if readers know that the story in the novel is fake, they cannot always be reminded by the author when reading it. What else can they do?

The novel "A Letter to Family" is very good at this point. The perspective control in the book is very strict and the narrative rhythm is also very good.

The reason why Lin Zhong chose to copy horror novels was because he saw the Zhongyuan Festival essay contest of "Shizophrenia" magazine on the Internet yesterday, with a bonus of 100,000 yuan.

The reason for copying "A Letter to Family" is not because it is the most terrifying novel in the forest, but because it is very suitable for this essay contest, especially the length, which is only more than 40,000 words in total, and it will not work if it is longer.

There is another reason. The legend about Pen Immortal on Blue Star is not famous, and no author seems to have written novels with it, at least not in the memory of the predecessor.

In this way, the element of Bixian will become the biggest advantage of this novel.

...

The next afternoon, the forest took the computer and script to the Deer Antler Building in the city center, and took the elevator to the 11th floor. The company run by Xu Xiaoya and the others was on this floor.

You don’t need to look for it when you arrive at the eleventh floor, because you can see a sign of “Kaleidoscope Culture and Entertainment Co., Ltd.” as soon as you get out of the elevator – this entire floor belongs to this company.

Looking at the company's grand door sign, I couldn't help but sigh that Xu Xiaoya, the siblings, are really rich. The location of this office building and the area of ​​this floor are probably not as big as tens of thousands of dollars a month.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

The forest was still admiring the company's door sign, and the little beauty at the front desk spoke with a professional smile.

"Are you Mr. Xu?" Lin Zhong asked with a smile.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"I still need to make an appointment?" Lin Zhong said in surprise.

“Yes, we…”

The front desk was about to explain to Lin Zhong, but Xu Xiaodong walked out of it and said with a smile, "Brother, you are here, I blame me for not telling him in advance."

Xu Xiaodong said to the front desk again, "This is Director Lin, and he can enter and exit at will in the future."

The front desk nodded, "I understand, Mr. Xu."

"Well, you're busy." Xu Xiaodong pulled Lin's arm and walked inside, "Brother, you're here just right. I just ordered afternoon tea."

Lin Zhong pushed his hand away, "The company is so formal, you still have to make an appointment when you see you."

"Just prevent first-hand salesmen. You don't know. I've seen several credit cards these two days."

Lin Zhong nodded, then said, "Your front desk still has an English name?"

"This is my idea. Her English name was also given by me. How about it?"

A thumbs up in the forest, "Western."

The two walked side by side. They looked at the door just now and felt that the company was pretty, but after entering, they subverted his imagination.

This is not a company, but it is more like a teahouse. There are no rows of office compartments, only exquisite reception rooms, spacious seating areas, and wall-filled green plants and murals.

Walking through the hall, the two of them came to an office with the sign "Deputy General Manager".

Pushing the door and entering, there were piles of fried chicken and coke on the glass coffee table. Xu Xiaoya sat on the sofa holding the computer, holding the fried chicken in one hand and holding the mouse in the other.

Seeing the forest, Xu Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, quickly put down the fried chicken and wiped her hands.

"Director Lin, you are here."

Lin Zhong nodded, walked over with a smile and handed the script in his hand to Xu Xiaoya, "I have changed the script. If you have time, you can make a new electronic version."

Xu Xiaoya took the script and a big question mark appeared on her head, "I thought you would directly modify it on the electronic version..."

"I prefer to operate on paper when modifying scripts." Lin shrugged his shoulders, then he sat down and asked, "Is there any information about the actors who are here to audition today?"

"Yes, I'll give it to you." Xu Xiaodong took a stack of information from his desk.

After receiving the information from the forest, these resumes are in a unified format. They should be filled in directly online by the auditioner, and then printed by Xu Xiaodong.

Although these resumes are rough, Lin Zhong didn't care much, and he didn't expect any experienced actors to audition. He mainly watched the actors' performance during the audition for a while.

Looking through the actor's resume in the forest, Xu Xiaodong was siping with a glass of coke next to him.

When Xu Xiaodong finished drinking a cup of coke and the straw made a whirring air, Lin Zhong closed his resume.

"Brother, how about it? Can these actors catch your eyes?" Xu Xiaodong asked impatiently.

There was no emotion in the face of Lin Zhong, and he just nodded slightly, "It's okay, but there are a few actors who come to audition for parents and principals."

Most of these resumes are students from the Suzhou Drama School. They are not old, basically under the age of 20, most of them are girls.

Xu Xiaoya nodded and said, "That's true. There are still fewer actors here in Jinling, especially fewer old actors with performance experience."

Lin Zhong knew that what she was talking about was the truth, but this problem must be solved. They could not pin all their hopes on the only middle-aged people who came to audition.

There are thirteen characters in "The Drizzle". In addition to two men and two women, four middle school students in their fifteen or sixteen years old, there are seven middle-aged people in their forties and two young people in their twentys.
