Chapter 153: The Audition Begins
The crew of "The King's Man", because the actors got the news from Lee Joon-gi's mouth, inadvertently became more curious about this unmasked screenwriter Zheng, and they must know that the screenwriter of this movie they participated in was also him!
If it is normal to say that the screenwriter has released two works within a year, then it is only a finger to count, in just one year, there are no less than four TV drama scripts and movie scripts from Jung Hyuk Jae's hands, and there is also a variety show project, which is really surprising in comparison.
Is this still a 'person'?
Or because of Jung Hyuk-jae, everyone's attitude towards Lee Joon-gi has also changed a lot invisibly, if he was still unhappy with him as a newcomer playing the leading role before, then now even if he still feels unhappy in his heart, he is deeply pressed in his heart.
As for the reason, it is naturally because of Jung Hyuk-jae!
Several actors here are not that kind of movie celebrities now, and they don't belong to the kind of actors who can support themselves completely from movies, and they will also take on TV series when the script is good, so as to ensure their exposure.
is still the same old saying, the good or bad of TV series has a direct relationship with the script. If you can get in touch with Jung Hyuk-jae through Lee Joon-gi, it will definitely be a good and harmless thing. As an old man who has been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, everyone is not a fool, and naturally understands this truth.
Lee Joon-gi, who is the party concerned, didn't understand how everyone's attitude towards him was so much better at the beginning, and finally under Kang Jae-kyung's reminder, he reacted, it turned out that he was still borrowing the light of Jung Hyuk-jae.
Because of this trivial matter, Lee Joon-gi feels a lot more relieved that he chose to join in the first place, at least for now, it is not a bad decision. On the contrary, things are starting to develop more and more for the better, and the future development of this company is definitely endless.
The scale of the company will definitely gradually expand, and when the time comes, won't he be regarded as the founding father of the company?
It is precisely because of this. Lee Joon-gi is also gradually integrated into the crew of "The King's Man", which is shorter than Kang Jae-kyung's expected time. That's a good thing.
In a conference room on the seventh floor of MBC TV, Jung Hyuk-jae is sitting behind a desk, with a stack of resumes, makeup photos and art photos in front of him.
Because of the success of "New Staff" in the ratings, the senior leaders of the TV station paid a lot of attention to him, and some leaders bluntly asked him to increase the burden. This is clearly the rhythm of promotion, so why doesn't he be happy?
Kim Jae-yeol clearly knows that his promotion is definitely related to "New Employee", and he has finalized the next work with Jung Hyuk-jae early before "New Employee" is over, which is the TV series "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" that is now being filmed.
The contract signed by the two parties is not much different from the last time, and the proportion of invested funds and income are similar to those of "New Employees", which are half of the funds invested by both parties, and the domestic income is equally shared.
It's a little different from last time. This time, the script was purchased by MBC TV, and not only that, but now Jung Hyuk-jae shoots every episode. MBC TV will also pay him 5 million, which means that Jung Hyuk-jae can benefit 80 million won just for filming TV dramas.
This is also the final decision made by MBC TV in order to show his sincerity, of course, Jung Hyuk Jae can also choose to use the remuneration for this filming and the cost of script purchase into the filming funds.
I have to say that this time, Kim Jae-yeol played a good move and his eyes were very sharp. It's better to be generous than to be entangled in such a trivial matter, and then tie Jung Hyuk-jae firmly to his carriage.
"Director Kim. So let's start the audition officially, shall we? Before the audition began, Jung Hyuk-jae asked Kim Jae-yeol softly.
Listen to Jung Hyuk-jae's words. Kim Jae-yeol looked extremely relaxed, and shrugged his shoulders with his hands outstretched. said with a smile: "Zheng PD, you can come as you plan to come to today's audition, I just sit here and watch the fun, you do yours!" ”
Zheng Hyuk-jae also smiled, but he didn't say anything, but turned his head and glanced at the information in his hand, then raised his head and said, "No. 1 - Li Xiuya xi!" ”
The reception lady at the door of the conference room heard the words and immediately repeated, "Where is Li Xiuyaxi?" Now it's time to audition, and Miss No. 2 - Miss Kim Min-hee is ready to prepare. ”
While Jung Hyuk-jae and Kim Jae-yeol were talking, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and a tall and beautiful girl walked in, and after seeing Kim Jae-yeol and Jung Hyuk-jae, she bowed respectfully and said hello.
"Seniors, hello, my name is Li Xiuya, and I am the number one in this audition!" As she spoke, she pointed to the number plate on her chest, and she didn't know whether it was unintentional or deliberate, her fingers pressed down lightly on her steamed bun peak, her fingers left, and the pressure caused the depression on the steamed bun to quickly return to its original state, but it was a body full of youthful vitality.
Zheng Hyuk-jae didn't say anything about this, and he didn't know what he was thinking with a stretched face, but the young man who recorded on the side slid his Adam's apple up and down, and he clearly swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.
Jung Hyuk-jae looked down at her makeup photos and art photos, there was a big gap between her and what she expected, even if she was wearing the clothes of a pastry chef, the way she showed it, for some reason, still had a smell of wind and dust, she shook her head lightly in her heart, and had already drawn a cross on her name early.
Although he thought so in his heart, the process that should be taken still had to be followed, and Jung Hyuk Jae pointed to a paragraph on the script and said to her: "Li Xiuya xi, you come to perform this paragraph!" ”
Seeing Zheng Hyuk Jae's actions, Lee so-ah immediately trotted to his side, bent down, and her deep V-neck revealed a piece of white flowers because of her actions, which was dazzling.
Jung Hyuk-jae frowned. But he didn't say anything next, and still watched her performance with a cold face.
As for how she performed, just look at Jung Hyuk-jae's face and know that the final result is definitely not so ideal.
The acting is pompous. The expression is dull, and the movements are stiff when performing. The eyes didn't know where to look, and from time to time he threw a wink at Zheng Hyuk-jae, which scared Zheng Hyuk-jae a lot.
If she doesn't have a good face, it is estimated that an artist like her will not be able to mix in the entertainment industry at all, and all she can do is to act as a vase in the TV series and beautify the background.
As for the protagonist? Let's wait a few hundred years to talk about it!
"Okay, Li Xiuyaxi, it's okay to perform here. We will inform your agency of the results of the audition! As he spoke, Jung Hyuk-jae stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, "Please call the next one after you go out!" ”
After preparing for so long, it was over in less than a few minutes, Li Xiuya naturally looked displeased, listened to Zheng Hyukzai's words, and didn't look at him in the end, and walked out with a pair of high heels.
"Hejae Xi, your charm is quite high!"
Jin, who had been watching the joke for a few minutes, laughed and said, "The eyes of the one who just went out have been on you." ”
"Director Kim, don't make fun of me, there's only one thing I have in mind right now. Choose a few good actors for "My Name is Jin Sanshun"! Listening to Kim Jae-yeol's words, Jung Hyuk-jae hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head to explain.
Kim Jae-yeol smiled and nodded, but he could see that he was different from other PDs. Although young, the determination and goal are much more ambitious.
"Okay, let's continue with the interview!" Kim Jae-yeol nodded and said.
"Next!" Jung Hyuk-jae said.
"Miss Kim Min Hee No. 2, Park Yeon Yu Xi No. 3 prepare!"
"No. 15 Shen Younan xi"
The aisle of MBC TV station is not too wide, crowded with female artists who came to interview today, for a while, this relatively remote location in the TV station has become a must for many TV station staff, even if it is a long detour, it doesn't matter, they have all made a detour to rush here, passing by here can smell this burst of rouge powder, looking at this group of warblers Yanyan. Even death is worth it.
It is said that 'three women in one play', and if there are more women, it is not called a play. It's called war, especially for women in the entertainment industry.
Groups of women gathered. There are a group of people who know each other, and a group of people who have a good relationship, chatting about makeup, beauty and shopping, waiting for the moment when their names are called.
Jin Xuan'er, who also came to audition today, was sandwiched between this group of women, and she felt a little out of place. When everyone else was chatting about beauty shopping, she was still looking down at the script in her hand, there were no seats in the aisle, the waiting time was a little long, and she felt tired of standing, Jin Xuan'er rested against the wall for a while, guessing in her mind the questions that the director would ask for a while.
Jin Xuan'er, who was born in 1975 and debuted in 1996, is almost thirty years old, and among this group of young and beautiful girls, she can almost be called an old man, both in terms of age and debut time.
In the entertainment industry, the survival of female artists is much more difficult than that of male artists, especially in terms of actors.
When you debut in your teens and reach your twenties, you can also star in some girly movies and TV series, but once you are close to the embarrassing age of thirty, you will face the confusion and embarrassment of taking over the play, play a girl, such news will definitely attract boos from the audience, playing the role of middle-aged or mother, it is definitely a blow to your career as an actor, and she is not at that age, if it is not a female artist who can't get along, she will definitely not take on such a scene.
Jin Xuan'er knows very well that at the age of nearly thirty, he can be said to be half less competitive than others, and others have the youth time they once had, which is true, but he also has experiences and experiences that others have not had.
Since her advertising debut in 1996, she has taken on a total of 13 TV series, filmed five films, and won the CGV Cinema Film of the Year Award for Best Actress and was nominated for Best Actress at the Blue Dragon Film Award for her outstanding performance in "Fatal Bounty".
Recently, she just finished the publicity work of "Campus Undercover", because of the script of "My Name is Jin Sanshun", she started busy work again before she had time to rest.
In fact, as one of the representative actresses in Korean comedy movies, she is the first choice for comedy movies in the minds of many directors. Although it can't be said that it is rich and expensive, compared with some artists in the entertainment industry, the situation is much better.
It's just because she likes the script so much this time, looking at Jin Sanshun who was 'born in a rice milling shop' in the script, this role is like tailor-made for herself.
It's not that movie actors won't be able to make TV series, but it can only be said that the script of the TV series is far from being as wonderful as attracting movie actors to participate, but this "My Name is Jin Sanshun" is different, at the first glance of it, Jin Xuan'er knew that this role was going to be decided by herself.
Although the script sent by MBC TV station is only about half an episode, she has watched the plot and content dozens of times, starting from the language of the characters to the actions of the characters, and these points alone took her two full days.
"No. 45 Yin Huaiyu"
Hearing that the number was called to the forty-fifth, Jin Xuan'er glanced at the number plate in her hand, 'Forty-six', it was about to be her turn, although she was not ready to start, but she already felt that her heart had begun to 'plop' and beat non-stop.
"Okay, Yin Huaiyuxi, it's okay to perform here, please wait for the notification when you go back, and if we are sure, we will notify your brokerage company!"
As he spoke, Jung Hyuk-jae stretched out his hand and pointed to the door.
Seeing the forty-fifth leaving, Kim Jae-yeol glanced at the time on his watch, it was almost twelve o'clock, so he said: "Hejae Xi, it's almost twelve o'clock, let's go downstairs and have lunch!" ”
Jung Hyuk-jae was just about to answer, but his eyes swept to the name of the next audition artist, 'Kim Seon', so he replied: "Director Kim, I think we will see how about the last one?" (To be continued)
