The next day, Su Han arrived at the set of Infernal Affairs 2 for his audition.
Infernal Affairs 2 had two directors: Andrew Lau and Alan Mak.
Both were directors from Hong Kong.
Of course, it's worth mentioning that Andrew Lau was also the director of "The Captain."
Alan Mak had directed "Overheard" and "Initial D."
"Initial D" was actually a movie Su Han quite liked, so he was genuinely looking forward to collaborating with these two directors.
Upon arriving at the set, the two directors scrutinized Su Han's appearance.
Su Han was indeed very handsome, but he was only handsome; whether he could truly embody the character of Ni Yongxiao was still uncertain.
"Hello, you're Su Han, right?"
"Yes. That's me. Hello Director Lau, hello Director Mak."
Su Han greeted them politely.
"We've seen your films. Your portrayal of Feng Yuxiu was excellent and deeply resonated with the audience."
Directors Mak and Lau nodded approvingly as they looked at Su Han.
"But we still need to see how you handle our character's material."
"Sure."
"I can try right now."
Following this, the two directors conferred and prepared a script for Su Han.
Su Han glanced at the audition material. This segment was from the climax of Infernal Affairs 2.
It was a scene between Ni Yongxiao and Hon Sam before Ni Yongxiao's death.
The scene depicted Hon Sam confronting Ni Yongxiao. Ni Yongxiao thought he had leverage over Hon Sam and could threaten him.
However, to Ni Yongxiao's utter shock, Hon Sam had instead apprehended his entire family, using them as leverage.
Ultimately, Ni Yongxiao pointed a gun at Hon Sam's head, and then Ni Yongxiao was shot by the police. That was roughly the gist of the scene.
Inside the dai pai dong.
Ni Yongxiao sat waiting for Hon Sam.
Hon Sam arrived by taxi.
"Mr. Ni, what is it you need me for?"
"You called me, so you should be the one telling me how you can help me."
"Right? Sit."
Su Han sat down. As he uttered this line, his aura and gaze were incredibly compelling, immediately capturing the attention of Directors Lau and Mak.
The two directors exchanged glances and nodded.
They continued to watch Su Han's performance.
Hon Sam: "Kill me."
"If you kill me, there will be peace."
"Why should I kill you? I haven't done anything like that for a long time."
Su Han picked up a wine bottle and poured himself a drink. All his movements were fluid and natural.
"Let's talk properly, Ah Sam."
"Hong Kong is a big place. If you're willing, we can work together."
"Let bygones be bygones."
Su Han finished speaking and offered a glass of wine.
Hon Sam: "You will kill me. You will kill me tonight."
With his gold-rimmed glasses on, Su Han exuded an air of a refined, almost villainous intellectual.
He took off his glasses, took out his phone, and said: "If I kill you, what about your wife and daughter?"
Su Han presented the phone to Hon Sam.
...
Finally, Su Han's anger flared, and he grabbed a gun, pointing it at Hon Sam's head.
At the end, Su Han acted out the scene of being shot and falling to the ground.
His portrayal of being shot and falling was so realistic that it immediately drew the two directors into the scene, leaving them mesmerized.
"Clap clap clap!"
"Impressive. You acted this part exceptionally well."
The two directors clapped enthusiastically, looking at Su Han with great pleasure.
Su Han truly conveyed the essence of Ni Yongxiao, the educated criminal, the villainous scholar.
No, or rather, it wasn't just acting; it was as if he truly *was* Ni Yongxiao.
The two directors couldn't quite articulate the feeling.
In short, after watching Su Han's performance, they were astonished.
"Cut! Cut!"
"I feel that no one else is as suitable for this role as you are."
"Even Zhenyu is a few steps behind you."
"You are perfect for this role."
"Director Zhenyu was previously unavailable, which is why this film was delayed until now. Now that we've found you, we can start immediately and don't need to wait."
Directors Lau and Mak were both overjoyed.
"Then this role is decided. It's yours."
"Thank you, Directors."
"For today, please go back and rest well. Here is the script. How much time do you need? Is a week enough?"
"Are you in a hurry to shoot?"
Su Han asked Directors Mak and Lau.
"If we could shoot, we'd want to start tomorrow. The reason this film hasn't been shot yet is that we were waiting for Wu Zhenyu."
"Now that we've found the right person, we're just waiting for you."
"Directors, if you want to start shooting tomorrow, I can devour the script tonight and be ready."
"I can start shooting tomorrow. I have no problem with it."
Su Han told Directors Chen and Mak.
Upon hearing his words, the two directors were slightly taken aback. They exchanged glances, then looked at Su Han with a sense of disbelief.
"You can finish the entire script tonight and be ready to act tomorrow?"
"Really?"
"Don't push yourself too hard."
Directors Mak and Lau were somewhat flustered, thinking that Su Han, lacking such great ability, was being overconfident.
Besides, they had never met an actor who was so capable as to finish a script in one night and be ready to shoot the next day.
If actors in the industry could work at such a pace, who knew how many films would be produced in a year.
"I'm not pushing myself. I'm serious. I can start shooting tomorrow. The time is sufficient, I can do it."
Su Han told the two directors earnestly.
Although the two directors were still skeptical, Su Han's certainty and confidence, coupled with his impressive audition performance, convinced them.
They conferred carefully and ultimately decided to trust Su Han.
"Alright. But if we shoot tomorrow, others might not be ready yet. Let's aim for the day after tomorrow. We'll notify them today."
"What do you think?"
"Yes, that's perfectly fine."
"Then it's settled. We'll start shooting the day after tomorrow, and you can use these two days to study the script."
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Directors."
"Don't be so polite. We should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, this film would likely have been delayed for another half a year."
"Then if there's nothing else, Directors, I'll take my leave."
"Alright."
Directors Lau and Mak watched Su Han leave. After he was gone, their gazes returned.
"This young man is quite something."
"Yes, indeed. He's a promising talent. We haven't seen such a good prospect in a long time. He's definitely someone who can be cultivated."
"In my opinion, his performance was even more profound than Zhenyu's."
"I was almost drawn into the scene myself."
Director Lau sighed deeply.
Director Mak nodded repeatedly, "We found the right person."
That afternoon, Jiaxing Entertainment also released a Weibo post.
Jiaxing: #Congratulations to Su Han for joining Jiaxing!# Image*9# The nine photos below are all handsome shots of Su Han taken this afternoon.
