Chapter 35: Wen Genying
specially invited a day off, Jang Sung-won and Park Byung-yeol came to the audition site of "Autumn Fairy Tale". Judging from the information obtained by Zhang Chengyuan, Yin Xihu, the director of the TV series "Autumn Fairy Tale", is an excellent director with a strong personal style, and is good at shooting beautiful love idol dramas. In the past two years, "Family Love" starring Yoo Si-won and Han Jae-seok has received a good response, and "Mr. Cute" starring Kim Min-jong and Kim Hee-sun. ", starring Lee Young-ae and Coco Kim, "Who is My Favorite" are all his handwritings. Each of these three dramas tells a lingering and sympathetic urban love story, and its starring actors are almost all handsome men and beautiful women.
From this, it can be inferred that the first factor in director Yoon Seok-ho's selection of actors is appearance. It's no wonder, after all, what he wants to shoot is a beautiful love drama, not a realistic love story, if the starring actor's appearance is very average or even crooked melon cracked jujube, then no matter how hard the actor works, no matter how exquisite the picture is, this love love drama will definitely not be beautiful, and it will definitely not be able to touch the fiery hearts of thousands of young men and women.
In terms of appearance, Jang Sung-won is a little confident, Park Byung-yeol is even more confident in Jang Sung-won, he really doesn't think that there are better actors than Jang Sung-won in appearance, otherwise during the actor primary selection a few days ago, he would not have passed the strict screening of the crew of "Autumn Fairy Tale" just by relying on a few photo photos and personal information.
Today, Zhang Chengyuan came here as the second male candidate to participate in the final selection. As for what is not the male number one? is because Park Byungyeol and Jang Sung-won are deeply aware that Jang Sung-won's current qualifications are too shallow, and he will definitely not be able to carry the lead in a drama with high hopes, and it would be very good to be selected as the second male lead. Park Byungyeol even considered that if he couldn't even be the second male lead, then he would ask the director and screenwriter to change the supporting role with more scenes.
In the waiting room, Zhang Chengyuan took a copy of the script given by the crew and buried himself in figuring it out. There are only two scripts with the personal introduction of the male number two Han Tae-seok and two plot descriptions. Zhang Chengyuan read the script at a glance and ten lines, then closed his eyes, and used himself as a template in his mind to portray the specific image of the male number two, he has the magic weapon of the Yuan Shen, the imagination is extremely powerful, and the image constructed is vivid and three-dimensional, lifelike, from head to toe, every detail can be clearly depicted, and every move is vivid. Relying on this ability, he saved a lot of time and energy in shaping the image of the persona.
While Jang Sung-won was figuring out the characters, Park Byung-yeol whispered to several colleagues for relevant news. It is said that the male number one and the female number one have been finalized two days ago, and they will be played by two new-generation actors Song Seung-hun and Song Hye Kyo. And I heard that the plot will start from the juvenile period, so two young actors around the age of 13-15 will be selected to play the male and female protagonists when they were young. Today, in addition to the selection of the second male and female leads, the young male and female protagonists must also be selected.
At half past eight in the morning, the audition officially began. First, the selection of young actors. Zhang Chengyuan ignored it and continued to figure out the script on his own, although there were only two seemingly simple scenes in the script, but it was quite difficult for him, so he kept interpreting these two scenes in his mind, hoping to find the best way to perform. I don't know how long it took, and it shouldn't have been long, the door of the audition conference room opened, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl walked out cautiously, suddenly jumped happily a few times, ran past Zhang Chengyuan with a smile on her face, and unexpectedly saw Zhang Chengyuan's side face, so she suddenly stopped and looked at Zhang Chengyuan carefully.
Zhang Chengyuan suddenly felt something different, and when he looked up, he saw a very delicate and cute little girl looking down at him. Without waiting for Zhang Chengyuan to ask, the little girl had already preemptively asked, "May I ask if you are Zhang Chengyuan oppa?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and asked, "Who are you?" How do you know my name? Countless people have seen Zhang Chengyuan on TV and magazines, but there are very few people who can call him by name, even some of his fans often call him "Zhang Dongjian's younger brother", "Bohu boy Zhang Lie" and so on.
The little girl said: "My name is Wen Genying, and I am also an actor who came to audition. She said the word "actor" very heavyly, as if to say that the profession of an actor is very amazing, and she wants to become an amazing actor.
As for the little girl Wen Genying for what can know the name of Zhang Chengyuan, the reason is actually very simple: she is a fan of Zhang Chengyuan.
She debuted a little later than Zhang Chengyuan, and in May last year, she participated in the filming of the movie "On the Road" and made her debut. At the time when she was filming the movie, it was the time when Zhang Dongjian and Zhang Chengyuan's Nongshim Shin Ramen advertisements were popular, and the packaging bags of Nongshim Shin Ramen were printed with portraits of the two of them. Wen Geunying also saw Jang Sung-won's handsome face when he was eating cup noodles at a meal during the filming, and he fell in love with Jang Sung-won since then, and later slowly became a fan of Jang Sung-won, so he also asked his agent to inquire about Jang Sung-won's situation.
It can be said that Wen Genying is an ordinary member of the many girls who have just fallen in love and were deceived by Zhang Chengyuan's handsome face, if there is a difference, it is that Wen Genying is not yet intoxicated with Zhang Chengyuan, after all, she has seen a lot of handsome guys in the entertainment industry at close range, and she has a certain immunity. But that doesn't mean she's not interested in Jang Sung-won.
At this time, an old grandmother with a good temperament and over the age of sixteen walked up to Wen Genying, and Wen Genying hurriedly called softly: "Grandma! The old lady asked softly, "The audition is over?" The result? I didn't come to report to my grandmother. Well, who is this little brother? ”
Wen Genying apologized: "Grandma, I passed the audition, I forgot to tell you, I'm sorry!" This is Brother Jang Sung-won, he is my idol, and I want to ask him for an autographed photo. The little girl has a straightforward personality and is not afraid of life, she said her purpose as soon as she opened her mouth, which made Zhang Chengyuan a little ridiculous and interesting, he was asked for an autograph photo by his peers for the first time, you must know that he is still just an insignificant little actor, I am afraid that even the status of the little girl in front of him in the entertainment industry will be better than him.
Jang Sung-won stood up respectfully and said a few polite words to Moon Geun-young's grandmother, asked Park Byung-yeol for a personal photo, and signed the star autograph that the company found someone to design for him, and then wrote in Korean and Chinese characters in a dignified manner: "Jang Sung-won pays tribute to the lovely and beautiful Moon Geun-young, and wishes her all the best and all the best!" ”
Although the words are ordinary, the words are written very vigorously and beautifully, which makes Wen Genying very happy to see it and smiles from ear to ear. Her grandmother also praised: "These Chinese characters are really written with great meaning, and you must have put in a lot of hard work in your daily life." "There are very few people in Korea who can write dignified and good-looking Chinese characters, and they will always be respected, and Moon Geunying's grandmother can't help but have a little more affection for Jang Sung-won.
Jang Sung-won humbly said a few words and handed the signed photo to Moon Gen-young. Wen Genying carefully took it with both hands, put it into the small handbag she carried, and said, "Brother Xie Luxi, I will take good care of it in the future." I also wish my brother can pass the audition, and then we will be able to act together. Brother, come on! Immediately afterward, Wen Genying and her grandmother said goodbye and left, and out of politeness, Zhang Chengyuan stood up and watched them walk away before sitting back in the chair.
