Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Unexpected Joy of Audition
I don't know who invented this form of hype, it's really an invincible means of propaganda, no matter whether the hyped event is good or bad, at least your work has been known to everyone.
Jung Sung-hyun once thought that only positive things could be hyped, but it turned out that he really relied on negative hype in the eyes of the Korean public twice, once in a scolding battle with Kim Yoon-seok, and once now. It made him laugh and cry a little!
The director is not well-known, but fortunately, the screenwriter is hot.
A "Harry Potter 1" swept the global box office, although there is a Hollywood bonus, but it also proves that the novel is loved Cheng DΓΉ. Now the author paid out of his own pocket to write the script, and even made a bold statement at the press conference, which attracted a lot of media attention, so people who came to interview flocked to it.
South Korea has a small geography and many stars, and the competition is very fierce! Most of the newcomers came to audition this time, and there were many third- and second-tier stars.
The people waiting for the interview outside the venue were either nervous, excited, or more contemplative.
Just as people were nervous and preparing for the audition, there was a commotion at the entrance, and a young woman with long hair and a shawl and a beautiful face came in.
The beige women's suit with the snow gauze dress shows her ladylike temperament, with straight and slender legs and a curvaceous figure, making her stand out from the crowd.
Gently smiled at the person who recognized him, slowly walked through the crowd and received the interview number, and stood by and waited silently.
"Miss Kim Tae-hee, sit here!" A man waiting for an interview recognized the woman and excitedly stood up to give her a seat.
Kim Tae-hee, recognized as the first beauty in South Korea, became popular in 03 "Stairway to Heaven", and then took over several popular works and gradually became well-known.
And what people talk about the most is her amazing beauty.
Kim Tae-hee's appearance made the female contenders around him feel pressure, and he lamented and hated in his heart.
Just half a day of interviews made Jung Sung-hyun drowsy, and the only fun was the actors and stars who were stumbled upon and now unknown in the future.
Jin Xiulu has already left, he is one of the first few people to appear here, and a few days of preparation really allowed him to squeeze out the original starring Gan Yucheng and win the role of male lead. And Park Ye-jin declined Jung Sung-hyun's kindness because she couldn't separate from other film appointments, and called to thank and apologize.
I didn't have much hope for the interview on the first day, but when Jung Sung-hyun yawned as if he was asleep, a neutral female voice sounded, "Hello director, hello writer Jung, I'm Kim Tae-hee who came to audition for the female first!" β
The familiar name lifted Jung Sung-hyun's spirits, and he raised his head and looked at Kim Tae-hee who was standing there quietly in surprise.
is worthy of being recognized as a beautiful actress, the warm gazes of the three men did not make her feel a little cramped, and looking at a few people generously made them a little embarrassed.
After a short period of distraction, Li Junyi coughed twice to cover up his gaffe,
"Hello Miss Kim Tae-hee, I didn't expect you to come to our audition, here's a line for you to take a look at first!"
Li Junyi often circles in the entertainment industry, and he sees more beautiful women, and his resistance is much stronger than that of Zheng Chengxian.
At this moment, Jung Sung-hyun was looking at Kim Tae-hee like a nymphomaniac, and his undisguised gaze seemed to make Kim Tae-hee, who was looking down at the script, feel uncomfortable, and he frowned slightly.
"Ahem, Sung Hyun!" Lee Jun-ik lightly touched Jung Sung-hyun's arm to remind him to pay attention to his image.
Damn, shame on you! Zheng Chengxian nodded embarrassedly at the other two, and sat his crooked body upright.
In the past, the name of this beautiful woman was not unheard, and it was nothing more than that on TV. When you really look closely, you can appreciate the thrilling beauty, and the beautiful posture and the tranquil and elegant temperament complement each other.
Kim Tae-hee memorized the lines carefully, and after a few minutes, he raised his head and closed the script and said to Lee Jun-ik, "I'm ready!" β
"Then please get started!" Lee Jun Yi stretched out his hand and motioned for Kim Tae-hee to start.
The line is a clip from the movie, Zhang Lushui picks Kong Ji's clothes in front of Wang, and is thrown out of the door by the angry Wang.
Kim Tae-hee brewed his feelings for a moment, his smile retracted, his charming eyes gradually widened, and an angry look appeared on his face.
Jung Sung-hyun doesn't know how to act, but he just feels that Kim Tae-hee and the two of them just now are not as gentle and elegant as before, but instead resentment and jealousy.
Kim Tae-hee's eyes are very expressive, and when he is happy, he seems to be smiling, but when he is angry, it is those same eyes that make people feel more stressed.
After the performance, Li Junyi nodded, "The performance is good, although it is a little jerky, but it is not a big problem!" β
Kim Tae-hee bent down and saluted, "Thank you, director, I will work hard!" When she raised her head again, she became that gentle and quiet beautiful woman.
"Chengxian, what do you think?!" Lee Jun Yi admired Kim Tae-hee's change and turned his head to ask.
Xu is because of the previous impact, Zheng Chengxian has no color soul and the expression of the award, and habitually rubs his chin to organize the language, "I don't understand the performance, since he approves of it, I naturally won't object, it's just ~~~"
"Just what?" Li Junyi's curious interface.
Kim Tae-hee looked at Jung Sung-hyun with his big charming eyes full of doubts.
"Let me ask first, is Miss Kim Tae-hee acceptable to play ugly in the drama? Just a little to cover up your beauty! Jung Sung-hyun asked contemplatively.
Kim Tae-hee is too beautiful, her appearance does not match Jang Lushui, and she is suspected of stealing the limelight from Kong Ji.
"I can, as ugly as I am!" As soon as the words fell, Kim Tae-hee said categorically.
"I admire Miss Kim Tae-hee's professionalism, so there's no problem!" Zheng Chengxian said with appreciation, "Do you mind answering a question?" β
Kim Tae-hee did not despise Jung Sung-hyun because of his youth, knowing in her heart that there would be no movie without him, and she also knew that this young man was not as gentle and humble as he looked.
Maybe he usually seems soft, but if he is angry, the retaliation is direct and reckless. It was this madness that led him to dominate the headlines for months, and the title of 'Headline Jun' was not for nothing.
Thinking of this, Kim Tae-hee couldn't help but chuckle, and then realized that he quickly blocked his mouth with the back of his hand, and this kind of feminine coquettishness made the three men look straight.
"Sorry for the rudeness!" Kim Tae-hee hurriedly apologized, secretly annoyed by his cranky thoughts, "What's the problem, Writer Zheng, excuse me!" β
"We all know about Miss Kim Tae-hee's achievements in TV dramas, so why did you come to audition? Or why did you come to us? You must know that there are many famous Korean directors and screenwriters! Jung Sung-hyun asked the question in his heart.
The director is not famous, the screenwriter is inexperienced, and it is not easy for such a crew to attract those third- and second-tier actors, and it is a bit unbelievable that even people like Kim Tae-hee who are thriving in the TV circle are here.
"I like acting, it allows me to experience a different life, and movies are undoubtedly the most effective carrier for training actors!" Kim Tae-hee thought for a while and replied, "I'm a newcomer in the movie industry, and although I have always had a wish, I don't have a good script or opportunity!" β
Kim Tae-hee filmed the movie "Joongcheon" with Jung Woo-sung in 06, but the response was mediocre. Although the movie has received some nominations and awards, they are all cinematography, special effects, costumes, etc., and Kim Tae-hee herself won the "Best Popular Actress" award, which has nothing to do with acting.
"Writer Jung is our most successful novelist in Korea, and the scripts he writes are very attractive in themselves, and I have seen the director's works very thoughtfully, and I believe this will be a rare opportunity to learn!" Everyone loves to listen to good words, not to mention good words from beautiful women.
Kim Tae-hee's popularity made Jung Sung-hyun and Lee Jun-ik a little fluttery.
"Another reason is that writer Zheng seems to be very good at grabbing news, and the promotion of news is also very important for a movie!" Kim Tae-hee looked at the embarrassed Jung Sung-hyun with a smile in his eyes.
Lee Jun-yi and the assistant director chuckled, only Jung Sung-hyun scratched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.
"Alright then, please go back and wait for our notice first!" Lee Jun-ik said kindly that being able to have a star of Kim Tae-hee's level is also an expectation and recognition of the film, and he can't help but feel a little proud.
"Then I'll go back and wait for the good news!" Kim Tae-hee bent down again and bowed and went out.
Zheng Chengxian smashed his mouth with a little pity, turned his head and asked Li Junyi, "How is it?" Is her acting skills okay!? β
"There's nothing wrong with acting, but like you said, it's a little too pretty! If she is used, it will be even more difficult to find the role of Kongji! Li Junyi thought for a while and said, agreeing with Zheng Chengxian's previous opinion in his heart.
Lee Joon-gi, where are you? Jung Sung-hyun thought depressedly......
Outside a car wash, a man in blue overalls is wiping the car window with a towel, the man is tall and long, with an oval face, a pointed chin, clear eyebrows, and serious work, his delicate and fair skin reveals a healthy ruddy, and his handsome cheeks are covered with beads of sweat.
"Jungji, I'll get off work when this car is finished, do you want to go to dinner together?" A burly middle-aged man in the same work clothes walked out of the room, holding a towel to wipe his sweat and asking as he walked.
"Brother Junhao, I won't go, I have to go back to prepare for class tomorrow!"
"That's not forcing you, didn't you study art, why didn't you go to the audition!" The man named Junhao said curiously.
"I'm still a student, how can anyone want it, let's work hard to finish my studies first!" Joon-gi said to Jun-ho with a smile, and for a moment that kind of charm made Jun-ho slightly trance-conscious.
"Yes, learning is the most important thing! If I had studied hard, why would I have washed my car here!? Jun Hao threw the towel aside and said regretfully.
Joongi smiled and didn't speak, I've heard such complaints too many times, so I don't need to pay attention to them at all!
worked quietly, stopped for a moment, looked up and asked, "Brother Junhao, where did you say there was an audition?" β
"It's that writer Jung Sung-hyun, you should know! He's going to make a movie, he's writing a script, and he's currently having a public audition, and it's said that anyone can go! Jun-ho squatted on the chair with one foot on the surface of the chair and replied lazily.
Lee Joon-gi stopped talking as soon as he said 'oh', and continued to do the work in his hand, looking at the car with unfocused eyes and not knowing what he was thinking.
The absent-minded appearance made Jun Ho laugh for a while, stood up and took the towel in Lee Joon-gi's hand, "You go and try it, it's a pity that you are not a star if you are so handsome!" I'll do that for you. β
"Brother Junho~~" Lee Joon-gi was moved in his heart, Junho has been taking good care of him since he came to this store.
"Okay, let's go, if you become a Ming in the future, don't forget your brother!" Jun-ho laughed as he wiped the car.
"Well, Brother Junhao! Then I'll go and come back! After Lee Joon-gi finished speaking, he took off his uniform and ran out.
He didn't expect to be chosen as soon as he went, he just tried his luck.
Fate is sometimes such a egg, those who are prepared may not be chosen, but just a chance to get the blue eyes of God!
