Chapter 268: Male No. 1 Interview
After finishing the mini-album production of his childhood, the audition for the cast of 'Splendid Legacy' also officially kicked off. Regarding this TV series, Lee Sung-hyun will choose a newcomer or a popular actor, which is also the attention of the media.
is just eligible to be invited, auditioning to star in young actresses, most of them are well-known Korean TV actors. Generally, actresses who are a little famous participate in auditions more often playing soy sauce.
Except for Park Chang-tae and director Chen He, the outside world is not clear that Lee Sung-hyun's requirements for actors this time are stricter than the previous two dramas. Acting skills must be recognized in order to have a chance to qualify for an interview.
Such a rule has actually eliminated many actors who want to compete for the starring role. Looking at the list of actors for the interview submitted by SBS, Lee Sung-hyun also really felt that his influence as a well-known choreographer seems to be really not small.
'Sage, what do you think of these actors' audition lists?' β
Before the audition began, Park Chang-tae invited Lee Sung-hyun to the office for a chat. Since the start of crew preparation, this adaptation of Li Shengxian has attracted the attention of the media and the audience.
It is clear that this kind of attention can be translated into considerable ratings when the TV series is broadcast. In addition, there are two champion dramas as the foundation, and the audience seems to have a certain trust in Li Shengxian's works.
With the audience buying it, as long as the quality of the TV series is guaranteed, Park Chang-tae believes that the ratings of this drama should not be wrong. If it is really as Lee Sung-hyun said, it can become a national drama, then SBS really makes a lot of money.
'Yes, it's just that there is only one role, and so many actors are competing. I must have offended a lot of people again! β
Since the TV series began to select actors, Lee Sung-hyun has not received many calls for help. But Shuangxian Film and Television and the agent. Please's calls barely stopped.
It's just a drama, and there are only a few protagonists after all. How could it be possible to take care of so many people? If you want to star in this TV series, honing your acting skills first is the minimum requirement for Lee Sung-hyun.
While Lee Sung-hyun was sitting in Park Chang-tae's office chatting, the actors who came to the audition felt a lot of pressure when they looked at so many competitors. But the more this happens, the more they hope to get the chance to finally star.
Today's interview is the male and female number one in the play, and most of these young actors are relatively well-known young actors in South Korea. There are quite a few actors among them. even worked together in a certain drama.
Before the interview began, the actors who knew each other naturally greeted each other. Among them, Lee Joon-gi and Han Hyo-joo, who have cooperated with Lee Sung-hyun once with OST, will participate in the interview of the male and female number one respectively today.
'Joongi oppa, are you also coming for an interview?' β
Looking at Han Xiaozhou, who came to greet him, Lee Joon-gi also smiled and said, "Yes! Otherwise, what am I going to do here? What, do you also want to participate in the interview for the female number one? β
'Well, though, I don't think it's a big chance! Look at the actors who came to audition today. They all seem to be more popular than me! β
The better the script and the better the role, the more actors will compete. Even if Han Xiaozhou is in the TV circle, he has a certain popularity. But in the face of today's interview, she really doesn't have much confidence.
For Han Xiaozhou's worries. Lee Joon-gi also smiled and said: "This kind of thing may not be said, this writer Lee is different from other screenwriters." He doesn't value the actor's fame, but more about the actor's talent and acting skills.
Let's be honest. I was a little worried about coming to the interview this time. There are a lot of actors competing. It seems that it is really not easy to act in the TV series created by this writer Li! β
'OPPA is so popular. The acting skills are so good, it should be very selected! β
Who is sure of this? This writer Li is used to playing cards out of common sense! β
Even if he had a few encounters with Lee Sung-hyun, Lee Joon-gi also felt that if he changed to a TV series written by other screenwriters, he might have a certain degree of confidence and win from the candidate actors. But Li Shengxian's words, he was a little uncertain.
Even in the past, I could ask the brokerage company to establish a good relationship in advance, but this time I couldn't contact Li Shengxian at all. Whether he can audition for TongguΓ², Lee Joon-gi is really a little uncertain. If you lose the election, it will also be a very shameful thing.
Especially seeing that most of the actors who compete with him for the male lead are new popular TV actors, Lee Joon-gi also understands. The older the actor, the less chance he has and the less popular he is before.
When Lee Sung-hyun and Chen He arrived at the audition room, the first thing to interview was the actor who participated in the audition. And Lee Joon-gi, as the first actor to participate in the audition, stepped into the audition room under the witness of everyone.
Looking at Lee Joon-gi who walked in, Lee Sung-hyun, who is a writer, after Lee Joon-gi politely saluted. also got up and said: "Jungji senior, I really didn't expect you to participate in the interview for this drama." Long time no see! β
Even if Lee Sung-hyun is the screenwriter of this drama, in terms of etiquette, he also doesn't want people to be picky. The most important thing is that Lee Joon-gi's image is good, but it is not within the scope of his starring role.
Seeing Lee Sung-hyun get up and salute, Lee Joon-gi also sighed that Lee Sung-hyun was really polite. But he didn't know that this ceremony was more of an apology for Li Shengxian's elimination in advance!
'Writer Li is gracious! I've seen this work of yours, and I also like the role of Xian Yuhuan, so I took the initiative to ask to come and participate in the audition. I also hope that there will be a chance to cooperate with Writer Li! β
Regarding Lee Joon-gi's kind words, Lee Sung-hyun also said politely: "Naturally, if there is an opportunity to cooperate, I also hope to cooperate with Joongi's predecessors." If you're ready, let's start the audition, shall we? β
With a few polite words, Lee Sung-hyun took the prepared character script and let Lee Joon-gi perform it. In the end, as usual, on the pretext of waiting for the notice, Lee Joon-gi, who also felt a little surprised, was sent away.
After participating in the interview for so long, Lee Joon-gi somewhat knew that this kind of 'waiting for notice' actually had little hope. It's just that Lee Joon-gi still thinks that he hopes his judgment is out of sight!
Maybe this is the difference between Lee Sung-hyun and other screenwriters auditioning!
After Lee Joon-gi left, Chen He immediately said, "Sage, what do you think of Joon-gi?" β
'Good acting! It's also very popular! But whether he can be the protagonist depends on the situation of other actors who audition next. No hurry! β
In this way, Chen He is also uncertain about what Li Shengxian thinks in his heart. When it was the turn of Lee Seung-gi, the original actor of the drama, to walk in, Lee Sung-hyun suddenly remembered Lim Yoon-a, who was pretending to be drunk.
According to the memory in his head, this guy seems to have been in love with Lin Yun'er. It's just that in the end, the two broke up on the excuse that they were too busy. As for who is right and who is wrong, it is really not clear!
It's just that Lee Sung-hyun knows that the memories of Lee Seung-gi in his mind seem to be bad evaluations. But in his opinion, Lee Seung Gi is at least very polite when facing him!
Could it be that this Lee Seung Gi is a person who is inconsistent? (To be continued......)
