As we enter late August, the weather becomes repetitive.

For several days in a row, the weather was cloudy and sunny, and the torrential rain suddenly hit, and Zhang He's mood at the moment was just like this rainy weather.

"You mean, there was a sudden hesitation on the KBS side?"

Zhang He looked at his agent and frowned tightly: "After the last audition, director Guo Zhenghuan and screenwriter Qian Chengri were obviously very satisfied with me, and they also hinted that I was very optimistic about me starring in "Tui Nu", why is it suddenly a little changed now?"

As an actor who debuted very early, he became famous and popular in 2002 with "The Success of a Bright Girl", and in 2004, his popularity fell due to the evasion of military service, and then there were no excellent works, and his popularity continued to be sluggish.

However, at this moment, the news brought by the agent made his mood darken.

"Judging from the news I heard, there were other actors involved in this competition, and the popularity, popularity and topicality of that actor made director Guo Zhenghuan very excited, so things became complicated. ”

The agent thought for a while, and then said: "Originally, KBS's selection of the actor has reached the final stage, and the candidate is between you and Zheng Yucheng, in comparison, KBS is more optimistic about your appearance and acting strength, and your chances of getting the role should be greater." But now that another candidate has suddenly been inserted, KBS has more options, and things are complicated by this. ”

Zhang He frowned and said, "Then have you found out who suddenly intervened?"

The agent looked at Zhang He and smiled slightly bitterly: "I found out who it is, but because I found out, things are a little troublesome." ”

Zhang He asked, "Who is it?"

The agent said word by word: "Jiang... Handsome... Hertz. ”

"How is he?!"

Hearing Li Zheng's name come out of the agent's mouth, Zhang He was surprised and puzzled: "Didn't he just finish the filming of "Splendid Inheritance" and is now filming commercials? He is now popular, and he should take advantage of the current fire to take over the filming of advertisements and earn more money, how could he suddenly get involved in the drama "Tui Nu"? Although the script of "Tui Nu" is very good, he is not afraid that the TV series will not have good ratings, which will affect his current endorsement and popularity?"

After a slight pause, Jang Hyuk asked again, "Was it the invitation sent to him by KBS, or did he take the initiative to audition?"

"I can't know yet. But no matter which one it is, Kang Jun-hyuk is definitely your biggest competitor right now. ”

looked at Jang Hyuk, and the agent said: "You also know how popular Kang Jun Hyuk is in South Korea now! His appearance and height are extremely good, and he is a top student of Yale University. It's one thing to hear about it in a book, it's another thing to see it with your own eyes.

If this talent is put on ordinary people, it is nothing, but he is a star, has a high reputation, and is born to attract the attention of the media and the public. It can be said that after the broadcast of that issue of "Night Heart", even people who had not paid attention to him before began to have an impression of him.

In addition to the factors of good looks, high education, and high IQ, he can also write songs, and the two songs he wrote before, "Sorry, Sorry" and "River Flows In You", can be said to be popular in South Korea, which has attracted a large number of fans for him.

Therefore, although director Kwak Jung-hwan and screenwriter Cheon Sung-il are very optimistic about you, Kang Jun-hyuk's own exposure and topicality are too great now, even if your acting skills are far better than Kang Jun-hyuk, but because of some previous events and works with average ratings in recent years, your popularity is a little sluggish, and it is expected that KBS will hesitate because of this. ”

After a pause, the agent said, "Of course, what I just said is only the impact of KBS. Within the company, if Kang Jun Hyuk wants to get this role, with Jiang Jun Hyuk's future prospects and the benefits he can create for the company, it is difficult to say that the company's top management will not sacrifice you in order to befriend him, you also know that in this circle, everything is looking at 'money', and interests tend to be above all else. ”

Zhang He looked at the agent, gritted his teeth, and said unwillingly: "Is there no other way? I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, am I going to be ridden on the head by a junior who has just debuted?"

The agent smiled bitterly: "You also know how realistic this circle is. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. The Korean entertainment industry is changing so quickly, and there are too many examples of newcomers catching up and even stepping on their feet. ”

"I know. ”

Zhang He clenched his fist and let go, clenched his fist again, released it again, and repeated it several times before he said in frustration: "I really regret it now." If it weren't for the military service, how could I be in the situation I am in now? ”

The agent looked at Zhang He, couldn't help but shake his head slightly, was silent for a moment, as if thinking of something, the agent suddenly said: "Actually, what I just said is just the worst case." In fact, this matter is not completely impossible to change. ”

Zhang He raised his head suddenly: "How to change?"

The agent said: "What we just said is just the advantages that Jiang Junhyuk has. These advantages make KBS more inclined to him when it comes to choosing. But leaning towards him doesn't necessarily mean you'll choose him. After all, Kang Jun-hyuk has just debuted and is definitely not very mature in terms of acting, so KBS will inevitably take into account this factor, otherwise they will not hesitate now, but directly announce the list of candidates.

In addition to the KBS side, on the company side, you also have your own advantages.

After all, you are the old man of the company, and you were discovered by Director Zheng, and you have accumulated deep qualifications and contacts in the company for so many years in the entertainment industry. If you put on a posture that you are bound to win, the top of the company will inevitably consider your ideas as well. Moreover, when Kang Jun Hyuk competes with you, after learning your attitude, he must also worry about the consequences that may offend you, you are a senior and have connections, offending you is equivalent to offending many people related to you.

As a newcomer, Kang Jun Hyuk will inevitably have many concerns and trade-offs when choosing with these factors in mind. ”

Zhang He frowned and said, "What if Jiang Junhyuk doesn't care about these?"

Then he will leave an impression of unruliness to the company's top management, and his reputation will be damaged by disrespecting the reputation of his predecessors. ”

The agent looked at Zhang Hyuk and said: "Of course, if things develop to that point, it will also damage your reputation, Jiang Junhyuk will certainly be under pressure from all sides, but you will also be affected." The end result may be 'kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself,' and you both lose. So, what to do in the end is up to you?"

After listening to the agent's words, Zhang He was silent for a long time, and finally he raised his head, looked at the agent, and said solemnly: "I have a hunch that "Tui Nu" will be a turning point in my career, and I don't want to miss this opportunity." ”

The agent nodded: "Okay." Now that you've made up your mind, I'll take care of the rest. ”

After a pause, the agent looked at Zhang He and said, "However, before the showdown, I will communicate with the other party first." We...... Salute first, then soldier. ”
