Chapter 2: Fake becomes real?

Character: Addict.

Scenario: Drug addiction onset.

Specific Setting: Interrogation room of the Anti-Narcotics Department.

The interrogated suspect stubbornly refuses to confess, slowly experiencing drug withdrawal symptoms, wildly rolling, contorting, and screaming in the interrogation room.

Character Lines: Ten sentences.

Below are the specific lines.

Chen Feng looked at the simple information, and his heart completely sank.

What the hell?

For an audition, everyone else just had a simple scene, exchanged a couple of lines, showed their blocking, their immersion in the role, and their line delivery.

Done!

But when it came to him?

He had to play an Addict?

Could the depth and tension of such a role be portrayed at an audition?

There wasn't even a dressing room here.

No makeup at all.

It was an extremely simple scene simulation assessment.

And his opponent?

Playing a police officer.

The interrogating kind.

He just sat there, without even a single line.

To put it bluntly, it was all about Chen Feng's performance.

All the pressure was on Chen Feng.

If he performed well, he would easily make the other person's performance look good.

If he performed poorly, he would take all the blame.

So, no need to think about it, it must be because Zhao Zhilong pulled some strings, which is why Chen Feng got the worst audition script ever.

Damn it!

Playing an Addict, Chen Feng wasn't really afraid.

If he were truly on a set and needed to portray this role, he could just spend a month or so observing at a rehabilitation center.

Chen Feng possessed that kind of insight and understanding.

But now?

How was he supposed to act?

He had never even seen a real Addict experiencing withdrawal.

What the hell was he supposed to act?

Chen Feng looked up at the assessor.

The assessor's face was impassive, as if he didn't see anything, and he turned and said indifferently, "The five-minute timer has started. Make sure to grasp the essence of the character."

Chen Feng: "..."

Grasp your grandmother's claw.

To the side.

Zhao Zhilong ignored Chen Feng the entire time.

He walked happily to the side with his own materials, muttering to himself, "Awesome plus, just this? No difficulty at all."

After speaking, he suddenly changed his voice and looked back at Chen Feng: "Sorry, I'm an undercover agent."

Chen Feng: "..."

Holy crap!

Definitely a huge idiot.

Just that moment almost made Chen Feng laugh out of anger.

Forget it!

Give up.

When your luck is bad, even drinking cold water can get stuck in your teeth.

Just consider the two thousand yuan registration fee as money down the drain.

Hiss!

It really hurt a bit.

However, since the other party had pulled strings, whatever he did would be useless.

Why stay here and let himself be made a fool of?

Just as Chen Feng was about to give up, the back door was pushed open, and two other assessors walked back, laughing and talking.

One man and one woman.

Both were quite old.

The assessor named Meng hurried forward, handed a document to the two, and then spoke a few words quietly.

The two assessors who had just entered lowered their heads and looked at the document.

Chen Feng's heart stirred.

Because he clearly saw the elderly man's smiling expression instantly vanish.

He seemed very displeased.

Soon, the three assessors returned to their seats.

The elderly assessor put down the documents in his hand and glanced back and forth between Zhao Zhilong and Chen Feng several times.

Then he suddenly looked at Chen Feng and asked, "Your name is Chen Feng, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Feng nodded.

"Do you have any thoughts on the assessment content?"

The elderly assessor asked very kindly.

At the same time.

The assessor named Meng's face was a bit dark, and he frowned, staring intently at Chen Feng.

The meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

A strong threat.

He definitely didn't want Chen Feng to bring up the assessment content.

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, then turned to the elderly assessor and said calmly and neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Teacher, in my opinion, there's no problem with the assessment content."

"Is that so?"

The elderly assessor raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Chen Feng continued, "There's no problem with the assessment content, it's a very good assessment point. However, this kind of scene shouldn't be performed at an audition."

"Why?"

The elderly assessor looked at Chen Feng with interest.

And Chen Feng didn't care anymore, speaking eloquently: "The reason is simple. The audition doesn't need such a high-difficulty setting. To portray the inner world and state of an Addict, it's not simply a matter of imitation; it requires full cooperation from costume, makeup, and props, as well as the cooperation of the opponent."

"Cough, cough."

The assessor named Meng coughed forcefully.

Chen Feng was fearless.

He just quietly looked at the elderly assessor.

And the elderly assessor, after listening to his words, pondered for a moment and then smiled: "Chen Feng, you spoke very well. But sometimes, people have to serve the rules. This test question, once chosen, is chosen. Don't feel it's difficult. You, you are a person with a professional background. Your opponent does not. So, Chen Feng, just take it easy and try your best to complete the current performance."

Chen Feng: "..."

【Ding, detecting host's transmigrator identity, analyzing host's predicament, activating 'Acting Becomes Reality' System for host.】

【System activation complete.】

【Detecting the target role 'Addict' that the host is about to portray, congratulations host on becoming a true Addict who has been addicted for ten years.】

Chen Feng's whole body shook.

What the hell?

What is this?

Transmigrator benefits are here?

The key is, what the hell is this 'Acting Becomes Reality' System?

And it congratulated him on becoming a true Addict who had been addicted for ten years?

At that moment, Chen Feng felt his whole body light and airy, as if all his energy had disappeared in an instant.

Tired, exhausted!

"Yawn."

Chen Feng couldn't help but open his mouth wide and yawn.

His skin felt itchy.

He reached out and scratched twice, then felt it was inappropriate.

At this moment, the fierce-named assessor could no longer wait and directly said with a dark face, "Alright, preparation time is up, the assessment begins."

"Both participants, please take your positions."

"The table and chairs in the middle of the area will serve as the interrogation room seats."

"You two may begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Feng suddenly shouted loudly, "Wait a moment, let me prepare a bit more."

After saying that, he turned and ran to a corner and squatted down.

A bout of dry heaving.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

What was he doing?

Zhao Zhilong, however, didn't care and sat directly on the chair, taunting, "Nervous and threw up, huh? His mental fortitude is too poor. If he were in front of the camera, who knows what he'd throw up into."

The assessor named Meng glanced at him: "Zhao Zhilong, get into character, find the feeling."

"Got it."

Zhao Zhilong replied cheerfully.

And in the corner.

Chen Feng's heart was greatly shaken.

He felt that his body was very wrong, severely deteriorated.

Even if he had never done drugs, the sudden feeling of goosebumps crawling all over his arms, his stomach churning, his limbs trembling, and his whole body breaking out in cold sweat, was definitely not normal.

Recalling the system's voice in his mind just now.

So he really became an Addict?

Could he change back?

As soon as the thought arose, a voice sounded in his mind.

【Host state switch complete.】

In an instant, Chen Feng returned to his normal state.

Phew!

All the discomfort disappeared.

At that moment, Chen Feng almost cried out of excitement.

Fortunately, he could switch back.

So, this system was truly amazing and flashy.

It could actually turn him into the state of the character he was portraying.

Playing an Addict, he actually became an Addict.

Magical!

Suddenly, a shout from the Meng-named assessor came from behind him: "Chen Feng, are you ready? If you delay any longer, you'll be eliminated."

"Ready."

Chen Feng immediately said without turning his head.

Then, with a thought.

He once again switched to the body of an Addict.

Then, he slowly stood up, turned around, trembling and staggering, and walked to the opposite side of Zhao Zhilong, plopping down onto a chair.

At that moment, everyone present was stunned.

Huh?

Why was his face pale?
