Chapter 62: What to Do?...... I don't know
"Hello PD Lee, I'm EXO-M's NAN, I'm very grateful for the opportunity to audition this time, and I'll try my best to fulfill the director's and screenwriter's request. Respectfully bowed to the man standing in front of him at an angle of about to ninety degrees, Wang Nanqian had already heard Assistant Jin say when she was applying makeup in the beauty shop, and this time she was able to get the opportunity to audition completely because the producer of this TV series, Li Minghan PD, was willing to give him a chance, and now that he saw this "benefactor", he naturally wanted to show enough respect.
Is this person in front of him EXO-EXO's captain NAN? Li Minghan carefully examined the boy who saluted him: although at first glance he didn't look like a handsome man like a prince, but the longer he looked at it, the more kind his gentle smile became, and coupled with this unusually modest attitude, Li Minghan felt very satisfied.
"Are you NAN? Korean is very good, have you already read the script?" Even though he has a sense of closeness to this child in his heart, he still has to say what he needs to say, and he still has to do what he needs to do, even if Lee Myung-han has been determined to let this person into the crew before the EXO member audition-in order to use EXO's current topicality and popularity to better promote this TV series, even if this kid has no acting skills, he will admit it-- But after all, it has to be reviewed by Director Shen and Screenwriter Li before it can be officially made, not to mention that which role this child plays also needs to be discussed in detail.
"Although I haven't done a very in-depth study, I already know a lot about the general plot and characters," since I came to audition, it was impossible to avoid such a topic, but Wang Nanqian, who stayed up all night on the script, didn't dare to say too much, in case the director and PD asked questions that he couldn't answer, it would be bad, "If I am lucky enough to join the crew, I will block my life and try to substitute myself into the role." ”
This kid's attitude is very good, and he speaks Korean very well, so that Li Minghan can't believe that this is actually a foreign artist, and he can't help but ask curiously: "NAN, you speak Korean very well, how long have you been in Korea? Are there any relatives who are Korean?"
"I came to Korea in '05, and it's been more than seven years now, and although I wasn't very fluent in Korean when I first came to Korea, I've been working hard to learn Korean over the years, because I want to be able to communicate better with others. was asked what he was most proud of, and Wang Nanqian's words increased. He doesn't know if he has the so-called language talent, but among all the foreign artists of S.M., he is sure that he is definitely the best person who speaks Korean, and this has been recognized by many people, "I believe that my Korean level will definitely not hinder the operation and filming of the crew, and I am very confident in this." ”
The Korean language is really very good! This child's smile when he talks eloquently makes Li Minghan inexplicably full of confidence in him, his Korean sound really does not make people have any sense of disobedience, what kind of effort does it take to reach such a point? Although I don't know much about this foreign member of EXO, but just from his fluency in Korean, Li Minghan can feel that this child is definitely a hardworking and hard-working person.
"Li PD, there is absolutely no problem with our NAN's Korean, he is not only a composer, but also a lyricist of many tunes, and he can definitely meet the requirements of the crew. Jin Chenghao rubbed his hands and waited on the side for a long time before waiting for an opportunity to show his feelings, and seeing that Li Minghan did not immediately respond to the member he "managed", he took advantage of this gap to quickly open his mouth.
A lot of tunes? Assistant Jin, aren't you really my senior black? I've only written a few tunes in total? Wang Nanqian turned her head speechlessly and didn't look at her "agent", and she was already spitting out frantically in her heart.
"Let's go, let's go to the audition. Fortunately, Li PD didn't care about Assistant Jin's boastful cowhide at all, otherwise he would have to leave a bad impression of arrogance and arrogance on others. Following this obviously not as stern as he imagined, but still a little kind, Wang Nanqian finally saw the audition scene prepared for him by the crew, and also met the production staff of this TV series: the simple room in front of him covered with a big red background cloth made him really feel what is called low cost, such a cheap crew and the crew of SBS TV's "To the Beautiful You" are simply very different.
"Are you the artist who came to audition today? I'm Shin Won-ho, the director of this TV series. After bowing to the group of people sitting in front of the only camera in the room, a slightly chubby man with square-framed eyes greeted Wang Nanqian, whose hair reflected an unnatural glow under the light, and looked like it had not been washed for a long time.
"Hello director, I'm NAN, a member of EXO, and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to audition today, and I'll do my best. He didn't care about studying how busy this sloppy director was to make himself like this, he hurriedly bent down again and bent his waist again, which was not completely straightened, this man who had the absolute right to speak on the results of his audition could be said to be the one who decided his fate in the second half of the year.
EXO? It's the new group of the S.M. company that has been very topical recently, right? Lee Myung-han PD contacted him late last night because the members of this group were suddenly going to audition, and he also deliberately hinted that he must let this EXO member join the crew, just to covet the popularity of this group, right? He has obviously found Xu Renguo, and the newcomer can basically satisfy himself, and Shin Yuanhao is still a little dissatisfied with Li PD's attitude of forcibly stuffing people. But when he saw this child, the love that had been brewing all night in his heart almost instantly dissipated - although he could only be regarded as a rookie director, he thought that his eyes on people were very poisonous, and the boy who walked into the room was born with a photogenic face: maybe he couldn't usually see it, but in front of the camera, this child can definitely shine.
Before this, almost the entire crew was about to despair of him: none of the male artists who were contacted by this maker were willing to appear in this TV series, and none of the actors who were confirmed now were found by him. Why was he digging such an artist when the TV series was about to start filming in a week?
"You should have read the script already, right?" I heard that the EXO member is a foreign artist, and he is fluent in Korean: the only thing that will make people uneasy does not seem to have any problems, which makes Shin Won-ho's heart a little more steady, and he holds the script in his hand that is rolled into a barrel and continues the audition process for this humble and polite boy, "Do you have any favorite scenes?"
Wang Nanqian has also been prepared for this problem for a long time, the time is very tight, just roughly swept the plot of the first few episodes, if the director and screenwriter asked about the later episodes, it would be a big deal: "I haven't been in contact with the script for a long time, and the scenes that impress me are all in the earlier parts, so ......"
"The first part? So can you act out a scene in the later part of the first episode of the script? is the scene where Xun Yunjae asks Sung Shi-won how to reply after he confesses. Do you remember the lines?Do you need to hold the script?" As if she had insight into what he was thinking, the female screenwriter Li Youzhen, who was sitting next to Director Shen, interrupted Wang Nanqian's words with a smile, and there were only two gaps left in the already small pair of eyes. This very delicate-looking and smiling child looks much more pleasing to the eye than the child named Xu Renguo that Director Shen found before: Li Youzhen knew very well that the child who came to audition might not have much time to understand the script she created, so she proposed to see the scene in the first episode to help the other party in disguise.
Is the final scene of the first episode? Is it still the part of the male number one? Could it be that the role of the male number one Xun Yunjae in this TV series that is about to start filming but has not yet been finalized is actually the male number one? Isn't this too exaggerated? Is it really wise to audition for such an inexplicable TV series by himself? Frightened by Li Youzhen's request, Wang Nanqian was a little dazed for a while, and completely forgot to react in the face of the eyes of the production staff of the "Please Answer 1997" crew in the room.
"What's wrong?Is there a problem?Do you not remember the lines?" Li Minghan had already regarded this EXO member as a member of his crew, and now seeing this kid stunned in front of the camera, he couldn't help but open his mouth to help Wang Nanqian.
"Ah, sorry, I probably remember the lines. It's just that I don't know much about the Busan dialect, can I try it in Seoul dialect first?" relieved by the words of the producer of this TV series, he quickly bent down and apologized to the crew sitting behind the camera. Because he feels that he is close to the temperament of the male number two, and he doesn't believe that this TV series will never determine the candidate for the male number one, Wang Nanqian has been thinking about how to perform the male number two last night - he didn't expect to be asked to play the male number one in front of the camera now, he is desperately running his brain, recalling the scene when Xun Yunjae faced Cheng Shiyuan.
"It's okay, you can speak Chinese. In order to relieve the pressure of the boy, who seemed a little nervous, the author of the script, Li Youzhen, made a joke. Amid the good-natured laughter of the crew of the TV series, Wang Nam-kyun took a deep breath and made herself work hard to get into the role of Xun Yunjae.
Although I have never been in love, I still have the experience of being confessed by girls, and after something like this happens......
"Did Nan Qian's Oppa reject people's confessions yesterday?"
"How did you know about this?"
"How could I not know? The child lived in the room next to me, and she cried all night, and we didn't get a good night's sleep. I was criticized by the teacher for this morning's vocal lesson, and it's all your fault. ”
"Can I be blamed for this, too?"
"Of course it's your fault, who told you to reject that child? Obviously she looks so cute, what don't you like about her?"
“…… I don't know. ”
"I don't know, Nan Qian, Oppa, you're a person, really...... Ay...... What a ......."
Trying to recall what happened after rejecting the confession to him from the female trainee in the company, what suddenly came to mind was the face with a little baby fat - she pouted and looked up at herself, saying words of protest, but there was a look in her eyes that he couldn't see.
"Today, Youzhen confessed to me. ”
"How could I not know?" After saying that line, he seemed to hear the voice of the female trainee back then, so he naturally said the next sentence:
"What should I do?"
"Obviously she looks so cute, what don't you like about her?" Why did I refuse to confess at that time? It was for the ideal of debut, right? But how could this kind of thing be said directly? Just like the female trainee really stood in front of him and asked, he sighed and reluctantly added the next sentence:
"I don't know. ”
"I don't know, Nan Qian, Oppa, you are such a person. Is...... Alas...... What was the ...... that sentence she wanted to say but didn't finish, and why didn't she finish it at the time?
"Do I want to ......?"
"OK! Although this child's acting skills are still a little immature in his opinion, he uses his feelings very well, and he is more satisfied than Xu Renguo after just a few lines - facing the camera lens, this child's eyes and expressions are as if he is really talking to someone, without the slightest deliberate component, is he really a newcomer with no acting experience? - Being able to pick up such a baby that almost fell from the sky less than a week before the start of filming made him very excited.
"Is this the end of ......?" Jin Chenghao, who was standing next to Li Minghan, was a hundred times more nervous than the boy facing the camera, and he was still a little incredulous after hearing the director's voice: Why was the director stopped after saying three lines? Could it be that it was done too poorly for the director to watch it?
Why didn't she finish saying this sentence at that time? At that time, it seemed that Zhao Yannuna came out of the practice room, so she stopped, right? I didn't know that Jin Chenghao, who was standing in the shadows, had fallen into despair at this time, and Wang Nanqian stood in front of the camera lens, and finally recalled the scene at that time.
