Chapter 9 Opportunities
It's late autumn, and the weather is getting colder.
Three days after signing with iHQ, after dealing with his personal affairs, Li Zheng walked into the company for the first time.
When he came to the fifth floor of the Sanbao Building again, he was still greeted by Park Seung-deok's somewhat rich smiling face.
Seeing Li Zheng, he pointed to a young man about twenty-six or seventeen years old who was following him, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zheng, this is Park Shanhao, you know each other." ”
Park Sun-ho is of medium stature and has good facial features, and after seeing Li Zheng, he stretched out his hand and smiled and introduced himself first: "Hello, my name is Park Sun-ho, I am the assistant assigned to you by the company, I hope we will cooperate happily in the future." ”
Hearing this, Li Zheng hurriedly held Park Shanhao's right hand, put his left hand on top of his right hand, bowed down and said: "Brother Shanhao, I am a newcomer, and there are many things I don't understand, and I will trouble you to give me more advice in the future." ”
"Alright. Now that you've all met, you'll talk about the rest later. ”
Park Chengde smiled and said to Li Zheng: "Xiao Zheng, let you come over early today, the main reason is that I happen to have an audition opportunity here, and you have the right conditions, so you should just try it." ”
Li Zheng showed a puzzled look at the right time, and Park Chengde smiled: "That's the case." I have a good relationship with director Jeon Ki-sang, who is currently working on a series called "Boys Over Flowers". During the filming the day before yesterday, an actor who had been confirmed accidentally injured his ankle during the filming of the jumping scene, and the doctor diagnosed that it would take at least two months to treat it, but the crew was in a hurry, so a new actor was needed to replace him. Because it is a youth idol drama, there are requirements for the height and appearance of the actors, you have the right conditions, and I happen to know the director, so I won a chance for you to audition. ”
"Uncle De, I ......"
Seeing Li Zheng bowing and thanking him, Park Chengde hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Okay." With my relationship with your father, my two uncles and nephews will not see each other. Besides, I'm just helping you get an audition opportunity, and whether you can get it depends on your own strength. Saying that, he looked down at his watch, "It's more than two hours to drive to the shooting site, and we'll talk about the rest on the road." ”
Once you get in the car, the car moves fast.
Park Chengde seemed to think of something, took out a form from his briefcase, and handed it to Li Zheng: "By the way, you can fill out this form." Seeing Li Zheng take it, he continued, "This is required for the company's newly signed artists, the purpose is to have a comprehensive understanding of the artist, and to prevent emergencies, the company can have a response plan in the first time." ”
Li Zheng took the form and looked at it one by one.
1. Do you have any love experience, do you have a current girlfriend, do you leave video photos?
2. Have you had plastic surgery?
3. Do you have a history of drug abuse, and are you using it now?
……
There are dozens of items on the form, covering various aspects such as family, health, and love.
When Lee Zheng checked the form, Park Seung-deok continued: "You can fill in these questions casually, but I suggest that you try to answer them truthfully." Only if the company knows more about your situation can it avoid some accidents, or have a set of solutions to deal with unexpected situations. ”
After listening to Park Chengde's speech, Li Zheng raised his head and smiled: "Uncle De, I understand what you said." Don't worry, I don't have any bad habits. ”
After filling out the form, Park Seung-deok glanced at it and put it away.
He looked at Li Zheng, nodded and smiled: "Young people should be clean and self-loving." After a slight pause, he said meaningfully, "Or, at least, make others think you're clean and self-loving." ”
Li Zheng nodded seriously, Park Chengde smiled gently, groaned slightly, and taught him again: "Xiao Zheng, you have to remember one thing, the entertainment industry is a place full of magnesium lights, as long as you stand in front of the stage, there will be countless people with magnifying glasses to find your shortcomings all the time." As an artist, the key is not how you are, but what kind of image you are in the eyes of the audience, the media, and fans.
Being a star is like running a brand, from scratch, from small to large, from obscurity to fame, every step, every stage, needs to be carefully cared for and maintained. A star, a star, is like a bright star, it can be less bright, but it can't have black spots that are an eyesore. ”
"Uncle De, I remember. Li Zheng said solemnly.
"Just remember. ”
Park Chengde smiled with satisfaction, looked at his watch, and instructed him again: "The rest of the time, you recuperate, take a rest, and when you get to the place soon, I will remind you." ”
The car is flying, and time is fleeting.
Coming to the audition location, Park Seung-deok took Lee Jung into a room, and after greeting Jeon Ki-sang, he gave a brief introduction to both parties.
Jeon Ki-shang has a simple appearance, half-white hair, and although he is not tall, he is vigorous in his work.
When he saw Li Zheng, his eyes lit up, and after a little scrutiny, he asked directly: "Have you ever shot a magazine advertisement?"
Li Zheng nodded, and Jeon Ki Shang immediately said, "How many poses are you free to pose? ”
Li Zheng thought for a moment and took a few poses.
“OK。 ”
Jeon Ki-shang nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Let's set a plot scene, and you will perform it." Your brother was persecuted, you kidnapped the enemy's girlfriend, and now the enemy has come alone to save his girlfriend, how do you do it?"
After listening to it, Li Zheng made a little idea in his mind and began to perform.
After a few minutes, the show ended.
“OK。 ”
Jeon Ki-shang stood up, picked up a document from the table, and handed it to Li Zheng: "You passed the audition." Go back and read the script first, and remember to come here on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to report. After saying hello to Park Chengde, he walked towards the door, walked to Li Zheng's side, seemed to remember something, and patted Li Zheng's shoulder, "Remember to be eight o'clock tomorrow morning, don't be late." ”
After leaving the audition location, getting in the car, looking at the script in his hand, Li Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Park Seung-deok saw it and asked with a smile, "Think it's too simple?"
Li Zheng nodded: "It's a bit inconsistent with imagination." ”
"Huh. You. ”
Park Seung-deok laughed: "Sometimes, the process looks simple, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it's not that simple." ”
He sat up straight and analyzed Li Zheng and said, "There are three necessary conditions for you to easily get the role today. One, the crew is pressed for time and needs to replace the actors. Second, I have a good relationship with Director Quan, and I got the news in time. Third, you have the right conditions, and your strength is recognized by the director.
Missing any of these three conditions doesn't mean you can't get the character, but it won't be that easy.
If the crew is not in a hurry to shoot, they can calmly choose roles. If I don't have a good relationship with the director, I won't get this audition spot. If you don't look good and lack strength, the director won't easily recognize it. You thought it was an easy audition, but if it weren't for these necessary conditions, would it have been that easy?"
Speaking of this, Park Seung-deok looked at Li Zheng and his expression became solemn.
"Xiaozheng, you remember, in this society, if you want to grasp the opportunity, there are three things you have to rely on, one is luck, the second is connections, and the third is yourself. ”
