After Christmas, time flies, and it's 2009.

A new year, a new beginning, and after ending the cooperation with Kim Yongxun, Li Zheng's work has gradually increased.

In January, upon the recommendation of Kim Yongxun, Li Zheng accepted several invitations from other photographers to shoot. At the same time, Park Seung-deok also arranged several auditions for movies and TV series for him, although he has not received any notice of successful auditions for the time being, but in general, in the new year, Lee Jung's acting career began to officially set sail.

"Girls' Generation is really hot this month. ”

In the office, Park Sun-ho held a newspaper and said to Lee Jung while reading it: "The MV for the new song 'GEE' was viewed more than 1 million times on the first day of gomtv, and now the sales of the HANTEO chart in the first week of 'GEE' have reached 24,000 copies, and it seems that the trend of this group is becoming more and more obvious." ”

Saying that, he looked at Li Zheng and said with a smile: "Yesterday my brother asked me to go to his house for dinner, and my little niece performed a talent for me, singing this 'gee\gee\gee\gee, baby\baby\baby', and also played their new songs to me, to be honest, it sounds really cheerful." ”

As if remembering something again, Park Sun-ho asked Lee Jung: "By the way, Jun-hyuk, I remember that you used to be a trainee of S.M, so are you familiar with this member of Girls' Generation? My little niece knows that I am in the entertainment industry, so she specially asked me to help her ask for a few Girls' Generation autographs, do you see if you can help me get a few?"

Remembering that Quan Yoo-ri who met by chance last time seemed to be a member of this group, Li Zheng groaned slightly, smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try." ”

"Hehe, then Brother Shanhao, I'm just waiting to welcome the good news. ”

"What are you talking about? ”

A voice suddenly sounded at the door of the office, and then Park Seung-deok walked in with a smile on his face.

"Uncle De. ”

"Minister Park. ”

Seeing that it was Park Seung-deok, Lee Jung and Park Sun-ho hurriedly got up and bowed to Park Seung-deok.

"Alright, Seon-ho, Jun-hyuk, sit down. We sat and talked. ”

After Lee Jung's stage name was confirmed, in public, Park Seung-deok no longer called Lee Jung's nickname, but directly called him by his stage name Junhyuk.

After sitting down separately, Park Seung-deok looked at Lee Jung and said with a smile: "Jun-hyuk, just now SBS called me and said that there was an audition invitation for a TV series and wanted you to audition for the role of the leading actor." I've promised them that the audition is scheduled for 10 a.m. tomorrow, and this is the audition clip they faxed over, so you can prepare. ”

Actor auditions, whether film or television, except for special circumstances, the crew will generally provide several audition clips for the actors to prepare in advance, and then go to the scene to perform in front of the camera once.

"SBS TV?"

Li Zheng looked down at the audition materials in his hand, which was the name of this new drama - "Splendid Legacy".

Looking at Park Seung-deok, Lee Jung asked suspiciously: "How could SBS TV send me an invitation to audition, and it is such an important role as the leading actor?"

With this question, it is not that Li Zheng is arrogant, but that it is the case.

As a small person who has just entered the industry and is not well-known, Li Zheng's popularity in the entertainment industry is extremely low. So far, in the film and television industry, he has only played a small role in "Boys Over Flowers", and "Boys Over Flowers" only began to premiere on January 5, and there is still a long time before the role he played is broadcast. If SBS TV knew its name from which source, then in addition to iHQ submitting resumes to the TV station, the only thing left was the magazine that Lee Jung shot when he was a model for Kim Yongxun.

According to Park Seung-deok's words, it is clear that SBS TV is not through iHQ. But if it is from the side of the magazine, just look at a few photos and invite you to audition for the leading role, although it is not impossible, but it is like buying a lottery ticket and winning a million-dollar jackpot - the director or screenwriter of the crew of "Splendid Legacy" happens to see the magazine shot by Li Zheng, and then happens to be moved by Li Zheng's image and thinks that he is the most suitable for the leading actor - such a probability is too low and too low.

Li Zheng believes in luck, and some people do become famous in this way, but he never thinks that such a low probability thing will happen to him.

"Speaking of which, I just learned about it from the side. ”

Park Seung-deok looked at Lee Jung with a smile on his face, and nodded with satisfaction and feeling: "I have to say, Junhyuk, you are indeed very eye-catching and popular." ”

"......" The question mark on Li Zheng's head was a little bigger.

Looking at Li Zheng's puzzled expression, Park Chengde laughed: "The reason why you have eyes and popularity is because although you only participated in the filming of a small role in a TV series, you have won two good connections and opportunities." ”

Park Seung-deok said: "I don't need to say more about one of the opportunities, Kim Yong-hoon Kim Photography admires you very much and has already introduced you to a lot of work. Another opportunity is to talk about this ...... in front of you."

Glancing at Lee Jung again, Park Seung-deok smiled and said, "The reason why SBS TV will send you an audition invitation is because screenwriter Yoon Ji-yeon recommended you to screenwriter Su Hyun-jeong Su of the crew of "Splendid Heritage". That's why I said that you have eyes and popularity, and you got a model invitation for gold medal photography through your eyes, and an audition invitation for the protagonist of a TV series through your popularity. ”

"Screenwriter Yin Zhilian!"

Hearing the name of Yin Zhilian's screenwriter, Li Zheng's doubts were instantly solved.

Although the recommendation of screenwriter Yin Zhilian was somewhat unexpected by Li Zheng, but if you think about it carefully, everything is reasonable. During the filming of "Boys Over Flowers", screenwriter Yoon Ji-yeon often chatted with Lee Jung, and after leaving the crew, the two occasionally communicated through Kakao (Korean chat software) to discuss their evaluations and opinions on some literary works.

"It is indeed written by Yin Zhilian. ”

Park Seung-deok nodded with a smile: "I didn't expect you to establish a good personal relationship with screenwriter Yoon Ji-lian after only shooting a few scenes in the crew of "Boys Over Flowers". can make a screenwriter value and appreciate you, which will be of great help to your future development in the film and television industry.

As we said in our last chat, networking is like a spider's web, and prey is opportunity. The more dots you weave on this web, the wider the spread, and the more prey you can catch. If there is an opportunity, even if you don't grasp it once, but there are many times, there will always be a time to succeed.

And the more connections you have, the more opportunities you have, and the more options you have. Choose the best of the best, choose the best of the best, and it will be like a boat sailing with the wind, traveling thousands of miles a day.

Therefore, the personal relationship with screenwriter Yoon Ji-yeon, Junhyuk, you have to maintain it well. Even if tomorrow's audition is not successful, as long as you maintain a good relationship with screenwriter Yin Zhilian, I believe there will be another chance to recommend. ”

"Yes. I see, Uncle De. ”

Li Zheng nodded and said to Park Chengde: "I will try my best to seize this opportunity." ”

"Hehe, that's good. In the next time, you carefully ponder the audition materials, prepare in advance tomorrow morning, and let Seon-ho drive you over. ”
