The TV series that Jang Sung-won is going to audition for this time is called "Haojie Chunhyang", which is produced and produced by KBS TV and adapted from the traditional Korean literature "Chunhyang". It can be said that this drama is a new attempt by KBS TV, and even the screenwriters are newcomers, and this year's KBS TV drama is openly recruiting selected new screenwriters.

Out of distrust of the new screenwriters, the show has not received much investment, industry insiders have not paid much attention to it, and those really big-name stars have also disdained the show, so although the show started the cast selection early, several important roles have not yet been booked.

Before, Park Byungyeol didn't pay attention to this drama at all, and until yesterday, Jang Sung-won was politely rejected by the crew of "Love at Harvard" before he auditioned, and it seemed that the crew also felt a little embarrassed, so they casually mentioned the drama "Haojie Chunxiang". Park Byungyeol was like a treasure, so he immediately contacted the crew of "Haojie Chunxiang" and faxed Zhang Sungwon's information. A few hours later, he waited for the other party's reply, hoping that Zhang Chengyuan would go to the crew to participate in the audition in a few days.

In order to increase the bargaining chips for Jang Sung-won, Park Byung-yeol used his incorruptible tongue, promised all kinds of benefits, and inquired about all the auditions clearly, and it was also known that Jang Sung-won's biggest opponent this time was the young actor Jae-hee who attracted attention with the movie "Empty House". Although Jae-hee is slightly famous at present, and his acting skills are also extremely good, Park Byungyeol doesn't think he can compare to Jang Sung-won, not to mention the appearance conditions and filming experience, let's just say that Jae-hee's most powerful "eyes" acting skills are also a lot worse than Jang Sung-won.

Zhang Chengyuan's eyes can be righteous and awe-inspiring, vicious, cold and piercing, and gentle like water; can be affectionate and seductive, making women fall into hysteria; But the righteousness is thin and touching, which makes men's blood boil...... It seems that no matter what kind of emotion, he can express it in three points, Park Byungyeol really doesn't believe that Jae-hee's eye-acting skills are comparable to Jang Sung-won.

It would be great if all directors and screenwriters could think like Park Byungyeol, and Jang Sung-won would definitely not worry about not having the opportunity to play the male lead in film and television dramas. But now only Park Byungyeol himself has this thought, and even Jang Sung-won has never had such a thought.

Therefore, in the next few days, Zhang Chengyuan was still gnawing on the script, but the script changed from "Love at Harvard" to "Haojie Chunxiang". Cheng Youli still accompanies him from time to time, and plays the role of Chunxiang from time to time to play with him. Sometimes, Zhang Chengyuan thinks that it would be even more wonderful if this Chunxiang could be played by Cheng Youli, but unfortunately, Cheng Youli doesn't seem to want to make any more TV series for the time being, because her acting skills have been controversial in the past two years, every time she plays a role, no matter how much energy she puts into it, it will also attract cloud-like doubts and abuse, which makes her a little exhausted, so she plans to temporarily withdraw from the film and television industry and learn her acting skills.

Zhang Chengyuan's persuasion several times was ineffective, and when he saw that she had indeed made up her mind, he turned to support her, and even felt a little happy in his heart: "In this case, wouldn't Sister Youli have more time to accompany me?" ”

After five days of serious preparation, Zhang Chengyuan confidently participated in the male number one audition of "Haojie Chunxiang". This audition is not public, and the scale is not large, only Jang Sung-won, Jae-hee and several other rookie actors who Jang Sung-won can't name. The real competition will only unfold between Jang Sung-won and Jae-hee.

Jang Sung-won and Jae-hee are arranged next to each other, which shows that the crew also wants to see their showdown to see which one is better. In addition, the first to audition was Jae-hee, who ranked him before Jang Sung-won, and it can be seen that the crew may pay more attention to him than Jang Sung-won.

When Jae-hee entered the interview room, Jang Sung-won, who was waiting outside, felt a little uneasy, for fear that he would lose the audition again. In order to achieve a higher success rate in this audition, he did not hesitate to use his energy to perceive the scene in the interview room, so that he could "see" the opponent's audition performance, and understand the preferences of the director and screenwriter, so as to improve the way he waited for the performance.

There are several sets of tables and chairs in the room, on which are the main creators, and in front of the tables are nameplates with their positions written on them. The leader is a man in his forties and fifties, the hair on his forehead has fallen out almost like this, and there are many gray hairs mixed between his temples, giving people a feeling of premature aging, and he can't tell that he is the director of this drama at all. Sitting next to him are two women who are nearly thirty years old, their appearance and temperament are not unique compared with most Korean TV drama female screenwriters, at this time their expressions are a little serious, and it is difficult to hide their restrained looks, from the sign in front of them, it can be seen that these two are the Hong sisters, the screenwriters of this show.

After Jae-hee came in, the two sides greeted each other, and the director and screenwriter began to ask Jae-hee various questions, including the actor's understanding of the role in the play, what perception of the plot, and what kind of interpretation method will be used to perform the role, etc. asked a lot, Jae-hee answered in an orderly manner, the two screenwriters kept nodding their heads in approval, and the director only occasionally asked a sentence or two, maybe for this experienced director, it is useless to say it beautifully, the key is whether the actor can perfectly interpret the director and screenwriter's understanding of the role.

Then came the stage of actual combat, and director Jeon Ki-sang's originally somewhat cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, directing Jae-hee to perform some plots that are extremely difficult to perform or can reflect the actors' superb acting skills from subtleties. It is said that the acting skills of Zhang Chengyuan, the opponent, are really extraordinary, no matter what kind of emotion, he can always express it freely, and he can always meet the director's wishes. Then Director Jeon Ki-sang was deeply satisfied, smiled and asked him to go back and wait for news.

After Jae-hee came out, Zhang Chengyuan also hurriedly withdrew the Yuan Shen, and this visit made him consume nearly half of the power of the Yuan Shen, and he didn't know how many days it would take to cultivate back.

Next came Jang Sung-won's turn to audition. After entering, the eyes of the director and the two screenwriters suddenly lit up, and they seemed to be shocked by Zhang Chengyuan's perfect image, although they have seen Zhang Chengyuan's photo and previous TV series performances, but the real person is obviously better than the flat image, and it also makes them, especially the two female screenwriters, feel more excited: "If such a male artist with such a good image is used to star in this TV series, it will definitely make countless young female viewers reluctant to change channels." ”

The three of them looked at Zhang Chengyuan for a long time, and their initial impression of him was much better, and their tone was much softer unconsciously. The screenwriter began to ask questions, and the questions asked were similar to those asked by Jae-hee before, because they could learn from Jae-hee's answers, coupled with Jang Sung-won's own understanding of the script, Jang Sung-won's answer was obviously more in line with the minds of the two screenwriters.

Then there is acting, and it is borrowing the light of cheating, Jang Sung-won has a deep understanding of the way that director Jeon Ki-sang likes, and every performance makes Jeon Ki-sang feel that he is acting more deeply, more appropriately, and more contagiously than Jae-hee. After that, Zhang Chengyuan also worked hard to show his outstanding skills, and did some difficult martial arts moves that are common in Hong Kong kung fu movies, to show that he is also very talented in fighting. And the reason why he wants to show his superb skills is because there are some fighting scenes in the male lead in this play

After walking out of the audition room, Zhang Chengyuan was already sure in his heart: Unless the senior management of the TV station directly intervened and forced the crew to choose Jae-hee or other more famous actors, he would play the role of Li Menglong, the actor of "Haojie Chunxiang".

Two days later, a phone call from the crew director Jeon Ki-sang also confirmed his speculation.
