Chapter 22: Denial
"Thank you so much for coming to the audition. Well, you go back and wait for the notification, and we'll get back to you in two days. ”
Walking to the door of the audition room, Li Zheng looked back at the few people in the room, and then he didn't know what he thought, he secretly pursed the corners of his mouth, smiled silently, and turned around and walked towards the audition room.
…………
There were three people in the audition room, in addition to Chen He, the director of the crew of "Splendid Legacy", there were two middle-aged men, one was the head of the production team, and the other was the head of the TV station.
After Li Zheng went out, the three began to exchange views.
"Director Chen He, although the appearance of this actor is really good, it is very attractive. But we mainly look at popularity and audience awareness when we make TV series, and from this point of view, I think we should still find more well-known actors. ”
"I agree with that. In comparison, this actor's popularity is too low, and he is far inferior to Lee Seung-gi who we locked before in terms of appeal. Moreover, Lee Seung-gi's proposed salary is also completely within the range that can be considered, he has starred in TV dramas before and has relevant experience, but this actor named Kang Junhyuk, his acting experience is too poor. In addition to the American film and television drama performance experience that I don't know whether it's true or not, he has only participated in one TV series in South Korea. Although he did well in the audition just now, after all, he has never officially played the leading role, and I doubt that he will be able to adapt and complete the shooting. ”
"It's really a problem. Many rookie actors often have a lot of problems during the filming, which affects the filming schedule, and we have to take this into account. At this point, I also support the role of Lee Seung Gi. Director Chen He, I know that this actor was recommended by screenwriter Su Xianjing, but looking at the meaning of screenwriter Su, it is not necessary to choose him, if the three of us don't approve of it, I think screenwriter Su Xianjing will understand. ”
After quietly listening to the reasons for the opposition of the two, Chen He smiled calmly, he looked at the two of them, groaned slightly, sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and said his opinion.
"To be honest, before I met this actor named Kang Junhyuk, just looking at his resume, my thoughts were similar to the two. ”
He paused slightly, and then said with a smile: "At the beginning, when screenwriter Su Xianjing recommended this actor to me, I also asked her opinion and asked her if she was sure that she had to play the leading role. Screenwriter Su said that everything is based on my opinion. If, after the actor's audition, his external conditions and acting skills do not meet my requirements, she approves of all my decisions. However, after meeting this actor and testing his acting skills myself, I think he is the most suitable person......
Speaking of this, seeing that the other two had anxious faces and wanted to open their mouths to refute, Chen He smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, two of you, listen to me first, and let me know a few reasons why I am optimistic about him."
The first is the form factor.
Everyone knows that the heroine of this play has been determined to be played by Han Hyo-joo, with Han Hyo-joo's height of 172cm, if the height of the male protagonist is not suitable, the two will be very incongruous when they stand together. In this respect, Lee Seung Gi's height is very different from Kang Jun Hyuk, and when the two stand with Han Hyo-joo, Kang Jun Hyuk will be more harmonious.
And judging from his appearance alone, Kang Junhyuk's appearance is also eye-catching, he belongs to the kind of appearance that is very handsome, but not feminine, and has a lot of memory. I just looked through the lens, and he has a good sense of the lens, very photogenic. At this point, the difference in the appearance of the two is also obvious, and in comparison, Kang Junhyuk's appearance is better.
You also know that after all, TV series are broadcast in real time, and no matter how good the acting is, it will be meaningless if it looks very average.
The second is the salary and topic aspects.
Needless to say, in terms of salary, the production funds for our drama are very limited. The higher the actors' salaries, the less budget we have for other things, and the more money we can use, where it's needed. Kang Jun Hyuk is a rookie actor, and we can sign him with a very low salary.
As for the topic. Kang Jun-hyuk is not without topics. As a top student at Yale University in the United States, he can speak six Chinese, and has won numerous awards in various mathematics competitions and international competitions from childhood to adulthood, which is rare in the entertainment industry. The most important thing is that such a genius has excellent appearance conditions, as long as we promote it a little, it will soon detonate the topic.
Don't forget, there is a good proof in the film and television industry now, Kim Tae-hee has been rated as the number one beauty in South Korea since her debut.
Again, in terms of acting.
That's what I like most about him.
Although TV series do not have too high requirements for actors' acting skills compared to movies, the actors' superb acting skills are an option that can score points for TV series.
I don't know if you have noticed? Although Kang Junhyuk's acting skills are not very superb and a little immature, his performance can give a strong tension to the situation, and when I just let him play freely, his words and deeds, his way of acting, have a very strong charm, full of inspiration, power, and even charm.
As you know, charismatic actors often have extraordinary attraction, or pull, and can easily attract the attention of the audience and draw their attention to the screen.
Therefore, after comprehensive comparison and analysis, I think that whether it is from the perspective of cost performance or the actor himself, choosing Kang Junhyuk is the best choice. ”
After listening to Chen He's explanation, the other two thought about it for a long time, and finally the two looked at each other and shook their heads at Chen He.
"Director Chen He, you have your reasons, but we also have our considerations. In short, I still think Lee Seung Gi is the best choice for the crew. ”
…………
"Jun-hyuk, how was the audition going, and what did the director say?"
Walking out of the audition room, Park Sun-ho greeted him, and Lee Jung looked at him, smiled and shook his head.
"What do you mean? Isn't the audition going to be good?"
Remembering that when he auditioned just now, two of the three people didn't pay attention to themselves, and with an attitude of going through the motions, Li Zheng didn't have much hope for this audition. After all, it is understandable that it is still too junior and does not have any popularity, so it is understandable to be ignored.
However, looking at Park Sun-ho's anxious look, Li Zheng still smiled and comforted him: "The director said that there would be a reply in two days, let me wait for the notice, as for whether the result is good or bad, I will not know until two days." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be waiting for the notice, it scared me, I thought you were rejected in person. ”
Li Zheng couldn't help but shake his head in his heart: "Actually, it's not much different from refusing in person." ”
Leaving SBS TV, as soon as the two sat in the car, their mobile phones rang.
Li Zheng looked at the call and quickly connected the phone.
"Brother Yongzhen. ”
"Xiao Zheng, what are you busy with?" Yu Yongzhen asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"Just auditioned and came out of SBS TV. ”
"Hehe, how was the audition going?"
The director said to wait for the notice, and it would take two days to know the final result. ”
"Hehe, Brother Yongzhen believes that you will definitely be able to win the role. ”
After smiling and greeting a few words, Yu Yongzhen cut to the chase, "Xiaozheng, do you have time tomorrow?"
Li Zheng recalled the work schedule for the past two days, "I have time tomorrow morning. Brother Yongzhen, what's the matter?"
"That's right. The company has decided to use the song "Sorry, Sorry" that you created as the title song of SJ's upcoming album in early March, and it is preparing to record and choreograph in the past two days, I mean you are the creator of the song after all, and you must have your own unique ideas for the recording and choreography of the song, so I want you to come over and help refer to it. ”
Li Zheng groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "No problem, Brother Yongzhen, then I will go directly tomorrow morning." ”
Hanging up the phone and thinking that he was going to S.M Company tomorrow, Lee Jung suddenly remembered that Park Sun-ho asked him for a few girls' autographs yesterday.
Originally, if you say hello to Yu Yongzhen tomorrow, it should be easy to get it, but it seems a little too frivolous to trouble Yu Yongzhen because of this little thing, and besides, I also knew members in Girls' Generation, and I used to be my own juniors, so I believe that the other party should not refuse this matter.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he didn't have Kwon Yoo-li's mobile phone number, so Li Zheng found Huang Shimu's phone from the address book and dialed it, and after asking for Kwon Yoo-li's number from him, he entered the number to connect Kwon Yoo-li's phone.
The phone was quickly connected, and it seemed that it was an unfamiliar number, and the voice on the phone was a little vigilant: "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
"Are you Kwon Yoo-ri? I'm Lee Zheng. Li Zheng responded with a smile and went straight to the point.
Li Zheng...... Senior?!"
The voice on the phone was full of surprise, and then after a moment of silence, he said excitedly: "Senior, I'm Kwon Yoo-ri." You, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Hello, Yuli. That's right, the niece of a friend of OPPA likes Girls' Generation very much and wants a few of your autographs, and oppa wants to ask you to help sign a few autographs with the members, I wonder if it's convenient?"
"Of course, of course. oppa, when are you going to do it? Do you need me to send it for you?"
"Thanks, no need. I'm going to S.M tomorrow, where is the address of your dormitory? If it's convenient, I'll pick it up from your dormitory tomorrow morning. By the way, tomorrow morning, will it be convenient for you? If it's not convenient, you can change to another time that's convenient for you. ”
"Convenient and convenient. oppa, I'll be in the dormitory tomorrow morning, you can come over at any time when you're done at the company, I'll be waiting for you in the dormitory. ”
"Hehe, thank you then. I won't bother you, I will have time to invite you to dinner later. ”
"En. Then oppa, you are busy first. ”
…………
Girls' Generation Dormitory.
"Yo-hoo-"
Hanging up the phone, Kwon Yoo-ri held the phone and cheered, causing a burst of chickens and dogs to jump in the dormitory.
"Kwon Yoo-ri, did you take the wrong medicine?"
"What are you crazy about, Kwon Yoo-ri?"
"Julioni, what is it that makes you so happy?"
Kwon Yoo-ri looked around and saw that the girls all showed curious looks, so she couldn't help but snort and smile proudly.
"Hee-hee, I won't tell you!"
