Episode 270: Text message from Bae Yongjun

MBC has always been known for its procrastination and efficiency, but this time it replied to Lee Sung-man very quickly, and the director and writer agreed to start filming in mid-April, and they had already made an appointment for Kim Xuan'er to audition, and also asked Jung Hee-yi to audition for the actor on the same day.

The other party was happy that Li Chengman naturally wanted to give face, and he also agreed to the request to audition the day after tomorrow, and when he returned to the office and told Zheng Xiyi, Zheng Xiyi's request was accepted, what other opinions could he have, pick up the script and go home to practice, just wait for the audition the day after tomorrow.

The so-called public auditions for TV dramas and movies are basically more often just a formality, the male and female protagonists have already been determined, and sometimes even the important supporting roles have been selected, unless all the actors who meet the writer's mind refuse to play, otherwise the important roles will not be the turn of those actors who take the initiative to go to the audition location to be selected. But even so, there will be a lot of actors lining up to participate in every public audition location for TV dramas and television, and even if all the men and women are all set, aren't there still so many roles that need to be played? Even if you can't play the role, you have to try to shake it in front of the writer and director, and it's good to be familiar with your face.

For example, Lin Yun'er famously failed more than 200 auditions, wouldn't S.M know that it was useless to run like this? The reason why Lin Yuna was asked to run was just to let her get acquainted with her face, and by the way, she would try her luck to see if she could pick up a trick to act. Many times, S.M doesn't even have a nanny car and an agent, so he lets Lin Yuner take the subway or bus to audition alone, and the round-trip expenses are all paid by herself, and there is no half-dime cost.

Zheng Xiyi walked into the hall, looked at the rows of actors in front of him who bowed and saluted, lowered their heads and didn't dare to breathe, and nodded slightly in return, "Anihasse, you have worked hard." ”

FD, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, came over, and after greeting Zheng Xiyi, he took him directly to the waiting room, looking at the back of Zheng Xiyi leaving, Zheng Liyuan bit her lower lip, she didn't expect to meet Zheng Xiyi again here, and she didn't know what it was like for a while.

She came to audition for the second female Yu Xizhen, and the appointment time was an hour later, but she changed her new agency, so for the sake of prudence, she followed the new agent to the audition location early and found a corner to stay and read the script. When Zheng Xiyi came in, she was startled, and when the fifty or sixty actors in the entire hall bowed 90 degrees, if it wasn't for the agent's quick reaction and pulled her, she immediately bent down, and was almost seen by Zheng Xiyi.

"Ah, Liyuan, I said what happened to you just now? Why don't you hurry up and salute what are you doing there? Although everyone in the industry says that Zheng Xiyi is not strict with his juniors, it doesn't mean that you can be rude in front of so many people!"

The agent assigned to her by the new agency is a fat and round uncle in his forties, Shen Dayong, who has just worked with her for two months, and has always been soft when he speaks, but this time he is much stricter.

Zheng Liyuan bowed her head and apologized: "Miane, Azexi, I just stopped for a while, I didn't expect that the actor of this drama was Zheng Xiyi's predecessor, and he didn't mean to be polite." ”

Shin Dayong wiped the sweat on his head and said: "I didn't expect it, I heard that Hyun Bin might be invited to play the male lead, I don't know how to become Zheng Xiyi, but this is also a good thing, Zheng Xiyi has more ratings appeal than Hyun Bin." ”

Zheng Liyuan wanted to nod in agreement, but she lost interest when she remembered the note she gave to Zheng Xiyi when she was XMAN last year. Zheng Xiyi has never called, but the XAMN program team hinted to the former agent that she knew about Zheng Xiyi and S.M's unhappiness, and there was a faint worry in her heart, for fear that she would meet Zheng Xiyi during the audition.

Biting her lower lip and struggling for a long time, Zheng Liyuan finally stretched out her hand and pulled Lashen Dayong's sleeve, and whispered: "Azexi, let's find a place where no one is, there is something I want to tell you." ”

Shen Dayong was stunned, only then did he find that Zheng Liyuan was about to bite his lower lip, his face immediately became serious, he quickly looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he stood up and frowned and said loudly to Zheng Liyuan: "Ah! Why did you say it at this time, didn't you keep reminding you to prepare the water you drink? Hurry up, I'll follow you to the car to get it, don't rub it here!"

Zheng Liyuan stood up with her head buried and bowed and apologized as she walked out the door, Shen Dayong followed behind her and chattered about her, and the two of them walked out of the hall one after the other, and the actors and agents who were waiting for the number in the hall retracted their gaze.

Most of the actors who come to be selected are not accompanied by agents, but as long as they bring an agent, it means that they may be competing for more important roles, so actors and actors, agents and agents will monitor and watch out for each other. It is not a rumor that the actor waiting for the call was framed by another agent or actor and failed in casting, and it is the most common method to transfer the agent and send a drink containing catharsis or sleeping pills, so the average actor will not eat any food and drink provided by outsiders before the audition.

Finding a corner outside the building where no one was around, Zheng Liyuan told her about meeting Zheng Xiyi at XMAN last year, and Shen Dazhi looked at her speechlessly and didn't know what to say. He can't blame Zheng Liyuan for anything, unless she really likes Zheng Xiyi, otherwise this kind of thing is usually required by the company and the agent to be done by the artist.

I know something about Zheng Liyuan's former agency KISS Entertainment Shen Dayong, this kind of small means of hooking up with popular celebrities to hype up scandals is the consistent trick of KISS Entertainment, but it is so coincidental that Zheng Liyuan has just changed to a new agency and agent, and she met Zheng Xiyi for the first time when she had the hope of playing the second female lead, which can be called a narrow road.

Zheng Liyuan saw that Shen Dayong was silent, his face was cloudy, and she couldn't help but shed tears, but she didn't dare to cry, so she had to turn sideways and cover her mouth and cry silently. Shen Dayong was angry in his heart, but he couldn't blame his artist, what was the use of scolding her at this time?

"What are you crying about! People don't even see you and you're scared like this, and if you encounter you, you won't have to faint after a while? Besides, it's still a question whether Zheng Xiyi XI has taken this matter to heart, do you think you're the only one who stuffed Zheng Xiyi XI with notes? It's really strange that people pick up dozens of notes a day. ”

Zheng Liyuan was laughed by him, although as long as Zheng Xiyi is willing, it will definitely be no problem to receive dozens of notes a day, but the entertainment industry is actually a place without secrets, if Zheng Xiyi is really that kind of person, it will inevitably be rumored to be known to everyone, although there are not many actors and crew members he has worked with in South Korea, it is not a few, and there has been no such rumor that Zheng Xiyi is still a relatively clean and self-conscious artist.

Shen Dayong was finally relieved to see that she didn't cry, and he was going to audition in a while, and it would be troublesome to cry and swollen his eyes. Although the second female number one this time was talked about by the BOSS, it should be nine times out of ten, but it is too embarrassing for Zheng Liyuan to see the director and writer with red and swollen eyes.

Thinking of the boss, Shin Taeyong's eyes lit up.

Although it is taboo to go to the boss for help when there are difficulties in work, it is a taboo to be a subordinate, but the new company has just been established, and Zheng Liyuan is a new artist, this audition was originally an opportunity for the boss to brush his face, if there is really an accident because of this little thing, it is not that he can't eat and walk around, not to mention that this matter is neither his fault nor Zheng Liyuan's fault, it can only be said that it is too coincidental.

Shen Dayong also considered going forward to say hello to Zheng Xiyi's agent Li Chengman first, but Zheng Liyuan still dispelled this idea. New company, new actors, just ran to Zheng Xiyi's agent to explain the misunderstanding, and in the end, he didn't have to move out of the boss to come to the town, maybe he would make the other party misunderstand that he was a fox and a fake tiger. If the other party was not Zheng Xiyi, Shen Dayong actually didn't reject the fox and fake tiger power once, but neither Zheng Xiyi nor S.M could be suppressed by their own boss, so Shen Dayong still decided to honestly ask the boss for help.

Looking at the mobile phone that was vibrating in his hand, and then at Zheng Xiyi, who was auditioning, Li Chengman frowned and refused to answer. After a minute, the phone vibrated again, Li Chengman glanced at the screen, it was still the strange call just now, he was very unhappy and refused to answer again, thinking in his heart to go back and ask Liu Xianyu to check whether Zheng Xiyi's phone number was leaked out, how could there be an unfamiliar number calling to harass Xiyi.

Before he finished thinking about it, Zheng Xiyi's mobile phone vibrated again, but this time it was no longer a phone call but a text message, Li Chengman looked at Zheng Xiyi, who was still performing, and hesitated. If it is an ordinary artist, let alone phone calls and text messages, even if you write a letter, you have to let Li Chengman read it before you can send it, and the ruthless brokerage company even installs a monitor in the artist's dormitory and a bugging device in the phone, but who made Zheng Xiyi not an ordinary artist, so Li Chengman really doesn't dare to look at the things on Zheng Xiyi's mobile phone casually.

Within two minutes, the phone vibrated again, it was still a text message, Li Chengman looked at Zheng Xiyi, who was talking warmly with Ji Xiuxian, and decided to take a look at the text message. He remembered that Zheng Xiyi said that there might be something important to deal with in May, and it was a phone call and a text message in such a short period of time, maybe it had something to do with this important matter?

"Uh......"

As soon as he read the first sentence of the text message, Li Chengman felt that it was really an important thing, because the first sentence of the text message was: "Zheng Xiyi XI, hello, I am Pei Yongjun......"
