"Joon-hyuk, how was the audition going?"

After saying goodbye to Kwak Jeong-hwan and Cheon Sung-il, as soon as he got in the car, Park Sun-ho couldn't wait to ask.

"There was some surprise. ”

I don't know what I thought, after a slight pause, Li Zheng smiled dumbly, looked at Park Sunho and said, "However, I am now the leading actor of the play "Tui Nu". ”

"So, you passed the audition?" Park Sun-ho asked in surprise.

"Yes. ”

Li Zheng smiled and nodded.

Hearing this, Park Sun-ho couldn't help but clench his fists, swung them into the sky, and let out a cheer: "Great!

"Huh. ”

Li Zheng smiled softly, and waited for Park Shanhao to calm down a little, and then said again: "Brother Shanhao, although I have some guesses about some things, I am not sure yet, and I want you to help me investigate." ”

"Investigate what?" Jun Hyuk said. Park Sun-ho asked.

Li Zheng said: "In the morning, Brother Shanhao, you said that according to the situation that your friend in the crew, Director Guo Zhenghuan and the screenwriter of Cheon Sung-il seem to have more intention to let Zheng Yucheng's predecessor play the leading role, so I want you to help me find out about Zheng Yucheng's predecessor's side." ”

Park Sun-ho nodded thoughtfully when he heard this: "Well, Jun-hyuk, I understand your thoughts." Okay, I'll let you know as soon as I find out the news. ”

…………

Inside the audition room.

After sending Li Zheng away, Guo Zhenghuan and Qian Chengri glanced at each other, and Qian Chengri couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "Looking at Jiang Junhyuk's forced calm appearance just now, I'm afraid he didn't expect this audition to go so smoothly." ”

"Don't say it's him, didn't we even expect it to be so soon......"

Guo Zhenghuan shook his head and couldn't help laughing: "At the beginning, Kang Jun-hyuk was only the second candidate in the top of our reservation, in addition to Jung Woo-sung, we had several other backup actors, but I didn't expect that after the candidates were delivered to KBS and the production company, they would be unanimously optimistic about Kang Jun-hyuk." ”

After learning about Zhang He's situation yesterday, he and Qian Chengri discussed most of the night, and for the replacement of the actor, in addition to the more optimistic Zheng Yucheng and Li Zheng, several well-known actors with relatively good acting skills and popularity were circled. As a result, when they took the list and discussed it with KBS and the production company the next day, the two parties were very optimistic about Li Zheng, and strongly suggested that the two invite Li Zheng to play the leading role.

Although it is generally said that in the production of dramas, screenwriters have a high status and have a great right to speak, but they also have to divide strength and fame, and not all screenwriters have a dominant position in the production of dramas. At least in the drama "Tui Nu", Qian Chengri does not have an absolute dominant position, as for director Guo Zhenghuan, if it weren't for the fact that he and Qian Chengri have a similar temper and a good personal relationship, he would have less say in the crew.

In the production process of Korean dramas, most directors are affiliated with TV stations, and they receive monthly salaries like ordinary employees, and only when the work is prominent, the TV station will give some extra bonuses. If you compare the director with the screenwriter, the screenwriter is equivalent to the "brain" of the entire crew, while the director is equivalent to the "limbs" and is only responsible for physical work.

In the industry circle, the status of Korean TV drama directors is at the bottom of the entire industry chain. When opening a new drama press conference, the host will first introduce the screenwriter and then the director, and when the actor receives an invitation from the crew, he also looks at the writer first, and basically doesn't care too much about who the director is.

Of course, this means that in most cases, if the director and the screenwriter have a good personal relationship, just like Guo Zhenghuan and Cheon Sung-il, the director's advice can influence the screenwriter's decision, then the director's choice of actors is also a big decisive factor.

But in the drama "Tui Nu", Cheon Sung-il and Kwak Jung-hwan do not have a dominant position, and the opinions of KBS and the production company are very important.

Of course, although the opinions of KBS and the production company are very important, it does not mean that KBS and the production company are unanimously optimistic about Li Zheng and immediately determine Li Zheng's leading role, but later some accidents occurred, which caused the crew to determine the choice of Li Zheng so quickly.

Thinking of KBS and the production company's unanimous optimism about Lee Zheng, and thinking of Lee Zheng's achievements since his debut, Guo Zhenghuan couldn't help but sigh.

It can only be said that Kang Jun Hyuk's rise is too fast, and the speed of becoming popular is too fast, or rather, his ability to produce topics is too strong, but it has been less than a year since his debut, and he has already achieved a level of popularity that other artists may not need to achieve in a lifetime, and it is not surprising that KBS and the production company will be unanimously optimistic about him. ”

…………

When I get home from the audition, the sun is completely gone, and the city is lit up with neon.

After taking a shower and just making dinner, Park Sun-ho's phone called.

With Park Sun-ho on the phone and putting down the phone, Lee Jung finally solved the puzzle of why he got the role so quickly.

"I really didn't expect things to be so coincidental, Zhang He's predecessor happened to accidentally fall from a horse and crushed his right leg, and Zheng Yucheng's predecessor happened to have just signed a new movie. ”

sighed, Li Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

When he first debuted, Park Seung-deok once told him about the five conditions for becoming a superstar - one appearance, two luck, three connections, four talent, and five perseverance.

When explaining luck, Park Seung-deok once said, "Luck is an elusive thing. Shipped by nature. People who are lucky seem to be able to achieve fame easily without much effort or effort. Just like some stars in the entertainment industry, who have just debuted, can become popular with a play or a song, for this kind of person, there is no way, you can only envy but envy. ”

Thinking of this, Li Zheng couldn't help but laugh again.

"Maybe in the eyes of other artists, I'm now the lucky person who makes them gnash their teeth. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Li Zheng didn't think much about it, concentrated his energy, and began to think about how he would seize the opportunity next.

Now that the role of the leading actor in "Tui Nu" has been confirmed, the next step is to grasp this rare opportunity. The status of historical drama actors has always been very high in the Korean TV circle, and actors who have starred in historical dramas are often wider than those who can only appear in urban romance idol dramas, and their acting skills are easier to be recognized by the industry.

As long as I can act well in the drama "Tui Nu" this time, the ratings of the TV series are not too ugly and exceed the average level, then my status in the entertainment industry will be qualitatively improved.

Of course, with the cast, excellent script and production team of the "Tui Nu" crew, the possibility of failure is not large, but the possible failure must also be taken into account.

In addition to the internal factors of actors, screenwriters and directors, the success or failure of a drama also has a great impact on the results of ratings such as audience recognition, topic attention, and marketing promotion.
