Chapter 49: The audition begins
KBs TV's "Love at Harvard" is in full swing, and the front page of the newspaper is full of news, the day before yesterday, a piece of "Chuan Kim Lai Won Kim Tae-hee Fall in Love in the Drama", "Love in Harvard" is a love drama, aren't they in love with each other in the play?
Yesterday, there was a piece of "Someone Witnessed Kim Rae-won and Kim Tae-hee Falling in Love Because of the Drama, Dinner After Evening Shooting", I didn't see anyone else in the crew in the photo, it was just an ordinary dinner party for the crew, and the unscrupulous media would pick eye-catching news to release.
Today, it was revealed that the crew of "Love at Harvard" went to Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, and will be filmed on the campus of Harvard University.
Fans of "Love at Harvard" went crazy and cheered and shouted excitedly on the Internet, finally being able to see the love story of Hyunwoo and Shu-in on TV.
Recently, under the bombardment of the "Love in Harvard" news, it seems that everyone has forgotten where the actor of the original incident - Jung Hyuk-jae went? Where is the news of the romantic TV series "I'm Sorry, I Love You" that he said? Who are the main actors? And where are the promotional photos?
When someone asked such a question on the Internet, everyone's eyes began to turn to sBs TV, what kind of surprise will such a mysterious crew bring to themselves this winter?
People are such contradictory and strange creatures, always wanting to explore things they don't know, and curiosity is so heavy.
On the eleventh floor of sBs TV in the morning, several offices here have become the location of the crew of "Sorry, I Love You" after simple modifications, and in the conference room next door, Jung Hyuk-jae and several deputy PDs of the crew are discussing things and waiting for the arrival of the actors.
Perhaps because of Jung Hyuk-jae's age, when selecting the crew members of "I'm Sorry, I Love You", he also tends to be younger, and even the deputy PD and the leader of the on-site VJ team are only in their early thirties. In addition to a small number of new members added this time, more crew members are members of the crew during the filming of "Weekend Reversal Drama", which is more comfortable to use.
Jung Hyuk Jae has a thick script in front of him, and from time to time he flips through a few pages and looks up to discuss the plot with the PD around him, the crew's affairs are far from being able to be done by himself, even if it is a general's subordinates, don't you need a few generals?
While he was talking, a staff member came in and said that the actress had arrived.
The news on the Internet has not reported the casting of the crew of "I'm Sorry, I Love You", in fact, in fact, Jung Hyuk-jae has no intention of changing the actors and heroines in the original series at all, maybe the actors of other supporting roles will have a small fine-tuning, but the main members are the same.
The staff came in and said a word, and Jung Hyuk-jae stopped looking at it, staring at the door and being silent.
"Zheng PD Yin PD, hello!"
Lin Xiujing, the actress of the heroine, said hello first when she came in.
She has a charming magic with a beautiful face, the purity and tranquility that are rare in a modern good girl are particularly obvious in her, and the palm-sized baby face is even more rare, and she looks much younger than her age, you must know that she is a person in July 79, and she is the same age as Jung Hyuk Jae, but she looks no different from a middle school student who has not grown up.
Lin Xiujing clenched her fingers tightly, although she couldn't see it on the surface, she was actually a little nervous in her heart.
This is not the first time she has auditioned for roles and participated in TV series, as early as 2001, she had already debuted in "School 4", and in the following two years, she was active on the big screen, like 2002's "Presidential Romance", 2003's movies "Rose, Red Lotus" and "Love in Progress", these movies have her familiar figure.
When the agent called her mobile phone, Lin Xiujing still couldn't believe it, you must know that although she has starred in TV series and movies, she has never been interviewed for roles by herself, and the director of the crew has never called her company. Although she didn't know exactly what happened, Lin Xiujing still started preparing a few days ago, starting from the news in the recent period, and carefully studying the magical experience of the young director in front of her.
"Lin Xiujingxi, please take a seat!" Zheng Hezai stretched out his hand and pointed to the sofa chair in front of him, Lin Xiujing bent down again and said hello, and then Shi Shiran sat down.
"I don't know if Lin Xiujing has read the script sent in the past?" As soon as she sat down, Jung Hyuk-jae switched to work mode and took the lead in asking questions.
Beforehand, Jung Hyuk-jae asked the staff to fax the past part of the script to the leading and supporting actors, so that they could familiarize themselves with it in advance, and this meeting can also be regarded as a small audition to see how well they have mastered.
Just about to let Lin Xiujing start first, Su Zhixie, the actor of "I'm Sorry, I Love You", also arrived, and he had to be careful when he opened the door with a height of 1.82 meters, and when he saw everyone sitting in the conference room, Su Zhixie bowed his head slightly and said yes, and then pulled over a sofa chair and sat down.
The attitude can't be called good, it can only be said that the number of etiquette that should be done has been done, and I can't find fault if I want to, but compared with the performance of the heroine Lin Xiujing just now, it can only be said that it is average, and it will inevitably make people feel panicked in their hearts.
From stepping into the modeling industry in 95 to participating in his first TV series "Flyover" in 1997, Su Ji-sub, who was born in 1977, has been in the Korean entertainment industry for nearly ten years.
In the same year of 1997, he participated in mBcTV's "Three Men and Three Women", from 1998 to 2000, he was engaged in the exclusive VJ of music TV stations and the host of music programs of two TV stations, and in 2000, he cooperated with Cai Lin in "Flower Marriage" (also known as "Long Live the Woman").
In 2002, he collaborated with Cai Lin and Kwon Sang-woo on the TV series "In Love", and Cai Lin was the second cooperation after "Flower Marriage". In the same year, he starred in the TV series "Glass Slipper" so Ji-sub tasted the real popularity, he played Park Cheol-woong, who looks like a ruffian but has his own outlook on life, not only won the heart of the little princess in the play, but also won the hearts of many female audiences in South Korea.
In 2003, So Ji-sub took over the filming of "Millennial Love", in which he played two people with two personalities in different periods. His successful acting skills have been praised by insiders and audiences, and he has also been promoted to a first-line actor in South Korea because of this drama.
In January this year, So Ji-sub co-starred with Cho In-sung and Ha Ji-won in "The Story of Bali", and because of the good ratings of the series, its popularity has increased significantly.
It can be said that Su Ji-sub has the capital to brush big names, just like the superstar and coach in the football team, and the contradiction has actually arisen from the beginning.
Jung Hyuk-jae put down some thoughts in his heart and re-examined the male and female protagonists in front of him, and also understood why "I'm Sorry, I Love You" in his previous life chose the two of them as the leading actors.
"I'm Sorry, I Love You" tells a story about love and adoption, the story is actually not complicated, but some of them are very postgraduate acting skills, such as the last scene in the subway, Eun Cai cried and shouted 'Uncle, I love you, I love you, I love you!' At that time, the ignition of this tear is bound to be very difficult to test Lin Xiujing's acting skills.
It just so happened that the hero and heroine were also there, so Jung Hyuk-jae pointed out this scene and asked them to prepare first, and the two of them would have a review of the script and lines.
This time, the assistant director of the crew that the TV station assigned to himself, Yin PD, is a man in his early thirties, and he has been working as an mV director before, and "I'm Sorry, I Love You" is also his first time directing a TV series.
From the beginning of Su Ji-sub's entry, Yoon PD was a little worried about the emotions of the young director next to him, for fear that because of Su Ji-sub's attitude, the conflict between the two would be triggered, and the actual situation proved that his worries were obviously superfluous, don't look at his age, but he is very sophisticated in dealing with such things, and he doesn't look like a young man in his early twenties at all.
"Is Zheng PD okay?" Yin asked Xiangyou.
Zheng Hyuk-jae waved his hand when he heard this, indicating that he was fine.
So Ji-sub's attitude is problematic, but it is also within the scope of his tolerance, as long as he can shoot the TV series well, this is nothing. Jung Hyuk-jae also knows that his age and qualifications will not give him much advantage, and even these are his own shortcomings, just "Weekend Reversal Drama" is far from enough.
"I'm Sorry, I Love You" is the next moment of tearjerker that he is going to throw to the Korean audience**, and the colleagues who detonated everyone's tears will also push themselves into the ranks of young directors.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, Su Ji-sub raised his hand to signal that he was ready, Lin Xiujing was obviously a little flustered when she saw his actions, and her big eyes stared at Zheng Hyuk-jae motionlessly, as if she wanted to ask for a few minutes of spare time in this way, and her feelings had not yet been brewed.
Jung Hyuk-jae expressed his understanding and extended it for another five minutes in exchange for a grateful look from Lim so-kyung
"Lin Xiujing and Su Ji-sub join sBs TV's monthly fire drama "I'm Sorry, I Love You"
"Moonfire drama collides, KBs and sBs fall into a ratings war"
"Going to the United States for filming, not far behind, will go to Melbourne for pre-shooting"
"The Moonfire Drama Ratings War is on the Verge"
"The ratings battle that only belongs to 'Jung Hyuk-jae'"
After a period of fermentation, the news content of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" finally appeared on the news, and the TV series war about KBs, sBs and mBc is even more enjoyable for the audience to see, just like the ancient people watching the duel in the Colosseum, with an inexplicable sense of achievement.
As the screenwriter and original author of the two major TV stations, Jung Hyuk-jae's every move has no intention of attracting everyone's attention, and the ratings war between KBs TV and sBs TV is more like a war that belongs to him, in this war, whether "Love at Harvard" as the original author can win in the end, or "I'm Sorry, I Love You" as a screenwriter and director can win, all of this attracts everyone's attention!
