"Director Nim, you mean, plan to invite Liu Kewei Xi to audition for a role in the movie "Parasite"?"

Yamashita looked at Takaishijin in front of him with low eyebrows in disbelief.

"Na, there is a character in the script, the star player of the high school football team, I think it may be a good fit for Liu Keweixi, if you don't mind, I will send him a formal invitation?"

Gao Shizhen nodded.

Duan Shanshan's actions were very fast, and on the night of his visit to Yangping County, he sent the script for the second revision to Gao Shizhen - in fact, it was mainly to change the scene description and some associated dialogues, which was really a gesture for a person like him who had climbed the lattice for more than ten years.

Gao Shizhen received the script, and the next day he asked Yamashita to the crew - as a producer, the latter would have also needed to go to the crew from time to time to deal with some trivial matters.

As soon as Gao Shizhen said his thoughts, Yamashita was stunned.

"What kind of role is it, and how many scenes are there?" asked Yamashita after a little thought.

Gao Shizhen handed over a thick turn of script, and was pushed away by Yamashita Mi.

"I don't care about anything else, I just want to know the details related to that character. ”

Gao Shizhen opened the script and pulled out the thin two or three pages of printer paper sandwiched in it.

"It's a simplified script for that character. ”

The script that the actor gets may not be the complete script, especially the supporting roles, and most of them will only get the script content related to the number of scenes they have participated in, that is, the character script or simplified script.

Yamashita nodded, then took it, and said while browsing: "You can briefly introduce it orally, and I will listen and watch it." ”

"This character is a new character added by screenwriter Xi, and he is ...... by Lin's high school classmates," Gao Shizhen talked eloquently, retelling the character recognition he had gained from Duan Shanshan last time, and then briefly retold Yamashita Mi.

The scene is very thin, Yamashita Miya quickly finished reading the character script, and Gao Shizhen is still talking endlessly.

"Okay, I get it in general, let me think about it. ”

Yamashita raised a hand and interrupted Takaishi, then closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Yu Gong, Lotte Group still owes Liu Kewei a lot of favors, especially the other party resisted the pressure of Rakuten Japan, refused a bribe of 30 million, and firmly stood on his own position, which made the executive very nerve-wracking, and I don't know how to repay this "righteous act"......

Although playing this role will most likely cause some scandals between Liu Kewei and Xiaomin, who have rival scenes, but as long as it is operated properly, not only is it not a bad thing, but it may also be a good thing - Rakuten Japan is looking for "Seoul Sports" and D Club to promote the scandal between Liu Kewei and Wen Genying, isn't it also resolved by us as a smoke bomb?

As long as he can control Liu Kewei, Sunny, and Wen Genying...... Now with the addition of one Xiaomin, the remarks of these parties will be invincible.

Yu privately, Liu Kewei invited himself to lunch at Chengda last time, although it was only a university cafeteria......

Like Duan Shanshan, Yamashita feels that since Liu Kewei has plans to develop in the entertainment industry, it is definitely not a bad thing to get in touch with the work of actors early.

As for the follow-up impact of this incident, it seems that it is also benign and controllable, and the risks are of course there, but they are basically negligible.

Both the public and private sides have reasons to take care of Liu Kewei, so what else is there to say?

So, he directly took out his mobile phone and called Liu Kewei.

"Kewei, it's me. ”

"Oh no, oh don't you ('hey' for answering the phone in Korean)?Oh, I was wrong, I should say Moxi Moxi ('hey' for answering the phone in Japanese) ......"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Kewei was joking heartlessly.

"Kewei, let me ask you something—do you have an agent now?" Yamashita grinned.

"No...... Oh, no, there is one, but I haven't signed an acting agency contract with him yet......" Liu Kewei subconsciously denied it, and then realized that he seemed to have forgotten the existence of someone, and quickly changed his words.

"What's the mess, is there or isn't it?" Yamashita was stunned by Liu Kewei's inappropriate answer.

"Then even if there is, what's the matter, why are you asking this?"

"Then let him come to Yangping County for a trip, Director Gao has an itinerary for you. "Yamashita doesn't go around in circles.

"What, what did you say, brother?"

Liu Kewei on the other end of the phone had a question mark in his head, but before he could finish speaking, the other party had already hung up the phone.

"Yangpingjun" plus "Director Gao" - obviously Yamashita is referring to the crew of "Parasite". Liu Kewei, who was jogging on the playground of Chengda University, was stunned and stopped, a little at a loss.

To be honest, he didn't expect an invitation to perform to him so soon.

Even he hasn't been mentally prepared in the slightest, this kind of thing is too abrupt, right?

Besides, don't even go through the steps of trying on makeup and auditions, and just let the agent sign the contract...... What's the difference between this and going through the back door?

His first feeling was that he was a little resistant, and even wanted to call back and push it off.

However, Yuri's previous expectations for acting work and Hyomin's all-out attitude unconsciously affected him. So when he grabbed the phone and was about to call, "When the opportunity that others can't ask for comes to me, I still have to refuse it willingly, isn't it too hypocritical?"

Rejection or acceptance, the two choices are at war in his heart, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while.

After thinking about it, he called Wen Genying. If you want to talk about his relationship with the movie "Parasite", as well as the extent of involvement and the causes and consequences, Moon Geunying must be the person who knows the most. Moreover, with Wen Genying's experience in the acting industry, he is also qualified enough to give him guidance and advice.

- When Hyo-min was confused about the passion play, Moon Geun-young gave extremely professional guidance (see chapters 442 to 446), which left a deep impression on Liu Kewei.

So he instinctively had the idea of "why don't you ask Jinying for help" at this time.

“…… That's it, I suddenly received an invitation from Director Gao to star, do you think I should accept this matter, or should I refuse?"

"Before making a decision, I think you should first understand what kind of role Director Gao wants you to play, and whether you can control him with confidence, which is the most critical question. ”

Wen Genying, who was on the other end of the phone, patiently listened to Liu Kewei finish his confusion, and after a few seconds of silence, he gave his opinion.

"Makeup and auditions are indeed a regular process for determining the cast list, but they are not necessarily absolutely necessary. After all, they are just a means for the crew to examine whether the actors can interpret the role, not the end. If you can come to a positive conclusion without going through makeup and auditions, then there is nothing wrong with omitting this step. ”

"Both Director Gao and Producer Yamashita have seen you in person, so it's entirely possible that you have an idea that fits well with a character in the script, and that's why they offer you to appear directly – in that case, it's not only unwise to turn down, it's rude! ”

Liu Kewei rolled his eyes, he had actually seen a similar situation - didn't Duan Shanshan skip the steps of phone interviews and interviews (see Chapter 1) when he joined the Holy Grail Studio?

An author who can officially publish a single book in a provincial publishing house and win an award jointly issued by the Copyright Administration and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League can't cope with the copywriting work of just an online game? Of course, there are chances, but it is already so low that it is negligible, and compared with Uncle Duan's competitors for the same position at that time (most of them are fresh graduates), his advantage is too obvious.

Therefore, Uncle Duan did not have an interview to join the company directly, although it was rare, but in the management of the Holy Grail Studio at that time, it did not cause any controversy or questioning.

Thinking about it this way, Wen Genying's point of view has basically convinced him, but he is still a little undecided, but the balance in his heart has gradually tilted in the direction of accepting the invitation.

"Jinying, do you think I should accept it?" Liu Kewei asked for confirmation again.

"No, I didn't give you any definitive advice, I just want you to understand the requirements and roles of this role first, and then make a decision based on your own situation. Moon Geun-young replied unequivocally.

"Well, thank you for your opinion - I kind of understand what to do. ”

Liu Kewei took a deep breath, nodded subconsciously, and then hung up the phone.
