Chapter 611 Casting
"Great," James said, "is there really such a talent?" When will it come? ”
"Next year," said King, "this year we will focus on Yoon-hee, and this year DES has one more important thing to do, which is to shoot a special TV series: "Looking for the Past World". ”
"TV series? Who are you shooting with? Is it a TV station or Tianlong Entertainment? ”
"No, this time we filmed it ourselves, DES is originally a diversified agency, but there is only Xiao Gang alone in terms of actors, which is not enough, we need to increase publicity in this regard."
"What? Are we all the main actors? Lee Eun-hye asked, vaguely excited.
King shook his head and said, "No, you are supporting characters, and I have already decided on the main characters, it is me, Zi Feng, Yu Tian, Xiao Gang, Yun Hee, Lee Hyori, Yuki Uchida, Kim Hee Sun, Kim Tae Hee, and Ha Ji Won." ”
Lee Eun-hye was a little depressed, "Then what are we doing?" ”
"You have to do something besides being a supporting role, our filming needs to be kept secret at the initial stage, so we can't cooperate with the TV station, since we are looking for the past world, we need to look for the special actors of the above protagonist's childhood, I don't have the energy to find them one by one, it's up to you."
"However, this year's DES enrollment meeting has ended." Lee Eun-hye said.
"The singers' admissions are over, but the actors' are not yet," King said, "At this admissions fair, both major groups will perform, and it will be carried out as a formal performance, and in October, you can continue to raise the awareness of your fans." However, it should be noted that since the initial stage is confidential, it is important to pay attention to this during the selection process. ”
The information that DES wants to recruit young actors was quickly spread, and in South Korea, if a singer wants to go on stage, like Kwon Bo-a, who comes on stage at the age of 13, will immediately be questioned by the Chinese people. However, there is no such restriction for actors, there are many young people who can successfully become actors, and South Korea, which is popular in plastic surgery, has naturally made children pay attention to the development of this aspect since childhood.
However, although the number of applicants for this audition is large, it is not so easy to find suitable actors. Relatively speaking, since Zi Feng and Yu Tian were originally very ordinary Korean teenagers, it was relatively easy to find that kind of hazy teenager, as long as they were somewhat similar in appearance. But the others are very difficult, the other characters have not experienced the transformation of king, they are originally very aura characters, and it is very difficult to find the right one among these Korean children.
The outside world is also very interested in this selection, in general, due to the relatively low requirements of DES for trainees, the selection cycle will be relatively short, but this time, it has been ten days at once, and it seems that they are very serious about it. Although King issued an order prohibiting the release of information, a little bit of information was revealed, and the media learned that this audition would be a screening conducted by DES for a TV series, so the grade of the applicants who came to apply was immediately improved, and the actors of Kim Yoon-hee, Xiao Gang, and Ha Ji Won were also found.
"No, is it so hard to find an actor to play me? His role should be the least. King looked at a video of the scene.
"It's really the least," Li Zhi said next to him, "but if you want to play an all-rounder like you, you can't find a mediocre person, right?" That will ruin your image. ”
"You don't have to be so troublesome, just find someone who is diligent and smart, do you want to choose when to go?"
"Oh, that's too," Li Zhi took out a box of videos, "No matter what kind of child star you are looking for, it's impossible to play like you, so I have to settle for it, I've watched it for a long time, and this one is okay." ”
King only glanced at it, it was a child with clear eyebrows, and immediately said, "That's it, Li Zhi, you watched me grow up, and the one you chose must be the most suitable, so I don't have to look at it." ”
"The president is too prestigious," Li Ji said, "but the rest is very difficult to find, this is a photo of the two sisters, we think it is quite beautiful, I wonder if I can play Kim Hee-sun and Kim Tae-hee?" ”
King looked at it and shook his head, "These two definitely won't work, it's too harmonious." ”
"Harmony?" Li Zhi smiled when he heard this, and took out another photo, "These two are not harmonious." ”
"Oh?" King took the photo with great interest, it was two more delicate girls, but one of them looked at the other a little impatiently, and couldn't help but smile.
"The two girls, one named Kim Taeyeon and the other Kim Hyo-yeon, are not sisters, but they are classmates. As far as we know, the two of them are completely-for-tat and competitive in school. ”
King laughed, "89 years old, you can be named a 'flower' at this age, the two flowers come together, of course, there will be contradictions, so it was decided, let Kim Taeyeon play Kim Tae-hee, Kim Hyo-yeon play Kim Hee-sun, so our candidates are almost the same, and there are still two undecided, right?" ”
"Yes, it's Yuki Uchida and Lee Hyori, the characteristics of these two people, it's really difficult to find the right actors to play. There is a friend you know well, Mao Sui, who recommended himself to photograph Yuki Uchida. ”
"Oh?" King was surprised, "Yuki Uchida, she's not an easy role to play, who wants to play her?" ”
"It's me," a hearty voice sounded outside the door, and a girl strode in.
"Kim Yuna? How are you? King asked, a little surprised.
Kim Yuna said, "Why can't it be me?" Sister Yuki Uchida is my idol, she is an athletic genius and so am I, why can't I play her? ”
Kim Yuna was one of the few people outside the crew who knew what they were filming, and King's surprise quickly disappeared, "It's not easy to play Yuki, does Yeona think she can play her with her athletic talent?" It's not that simple. ”
"In order to play this role, I have studied the life of Sister Yuki, and now I know her very well, and I have already talked to her on the phone, she will come to South Korea in advance, and the two of us will have a run-in period at that time."
"What?" King frowned, "Yan'er, I haven't agreed to you playing this role yet, so you got in touch with Yuki?" This is ultra vires. ”
"I don't care," Kim Yuna began to coquettishly, "Who let the president promise me never fulfill it?" Let's just let this be used as compensation, right? ”
"Didn't make a promise?" King asked, "That's not my style, let's be clear." ”
"The president promised that he would practice ice dancing with me if he had the chance, but he made a promise to a six-year-old girl, but now I'm eleven years old, and I haven't fulfilled it. I went from being an ice dance trainee to becoming a junior women's world champion, you know? ”
King is slightly embarrassed, Chinese habits, there are many things promised that are not necessarily done, just out of politeness, but this may not be applicable in South Korea.
"So, you've already obtained your sister's consent?"
"Yes," Kim Yuna reconfirmed, "I'm sure I'll be able to play the young Sister Yuki well." ”
"Then let her tutor you," King said, "but you can't play until you meet my requirements, and this shoot is important for DES's future development." ”
"I see," Kim Yuna said with a smile, "please trust me, president." ”
"Alright then," King looked into the distance, "then there's only one character that hasn't been decided on now." ”
(The second thing King did when he returned to South Korea was the preparation of the TV series, casting was a troublesome thing, and it was not easy to choose an actor with great aura, and finally the selection was almost finished, but who would play the role of Lee Hyo-ri?) )
