Chapter 21: Advertising Auditions (2)
Park Meixiang did not accompany Feng Zixi to wait, and after the staff sorted out, most of the agents and assistants chose to leave, because the next audition was up to the artist himself, and staying would bring pressure to the artist.
Feng Zixi is a complete newcomer, he doesn't know anyone here, even if he occasionally sees one or two familiar faces, he can't say their names. With Feng Zixi's usually lazy personality, although he likes to be lively, what he is most afraid of is the cold ass with a hot face and sticking to others, and it is impossible to take the initiative to talk and get to know each other. I had to sit alone on the side, bored playing with my mobile phone and waiting.
It didn't take long for Cui Quanhuan PD to come back to the scene again, this time it was not him alone, beside him, there were two men and one woman, three people dressed in formal clothes, and a successful person, which should be the audition review this time.
Cui Quanhuan, as the responsible PD of this advertisement, of course, handed it over to him to preside, after the three judges sat down, he stood up and said to the forty or fifty people who came to the audition, including Feng Zixi: "The audition is about to start, and the purpose of this audition is to choose the actor who is suitable for this advertisement." After a while, the staff will call out your names, and you can just go in smoothly. Good luck to everyone, just do your best, there is no need to have too much psychological burden. After Cui Quanhuan finished speaking, his eyes looked at Feng Zixi and turned to leave.
A staff member with headphones, holding a thick stack of documents in his hand, glanced at the tense scene, and said expressionlessly: "Those who shouted their names should stand up and go in for auditions one by one." While waiting here, do not make loud noises so as not to affect the audition inside. β
As the staff called the first person to enter, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and many artists who didn't look very old showed anxiety and a little restlessness, and some of them were not very mature and couldn't help but be anxious, and they all ran to the bathroom. Most of the staff standing around looked at these people with a smile, because they were not surprised when they saw too many big-name stars, and the performance of second- and third-rate artists and newcomers was what they were most willing to see, and they could even make fun of them a few times.
"Hello, may I sit here?" A tall and handsome young man stood beside Feng Zixi, who lowered his head, and asked politely by pointing to the vacant position beside him.
Feng Zixi looked up and looked at the people who came, he looked about the same height as himself, about 180, he was polite, and he always showed a faint smile on his face. It should also be the person who auditioned for the advertisement, but Feng Zixi didn't have any impression of it, nodded, pointed to the side and said, "Whatever, so nobody." β
"Thank you!" After thanking the young man, he sat down, took out a book from his backpack, opened the bookmarked part, and read it.
I really didn't expect that there was a person who was as quiet as himself at the scene. Feng Zixi replied to a text message, and looked sideways at the book in the hands of the young man next to him, which was actually an English book. English is very popular in Korea, and many people pride themselves on being proficient in English. However, the situation in South Korea is similar to that in Chinese mainland, and Korean English is mixed with a lot of Korean pronunciation, and many times you don't even know what you're saying.
"So you like to read the book 'Lolita', too? It's hard to find the original English version of this book now, but I didn't expect anyone to read it in Korea. β
"Oh! Do you know 'Lolita'? This book is not mine, it was specially given to me by a senior when he went to study abroad, and I was just bored to read it. But after reading it, I thought it was very good, so I kept watching it. The young man smiled at Feng Zixi, returned the book to the cover, patted the crusty side that was a little broken, and should be very historical, and said, "This is a book that can satisfy people's privacy psychology." When a person is accustomed to putting himself in a desolate situation, he completely loses optimism in life, and in its place is negativity. A negative attitude will cause complex changes in a person's personality, rain or shine, and rich thoughts and reasonable logic are the best. Negative generation is due to oneself on the one hand, and from the external environment on the other. For the latter, the best way to ignore it is to ignore it. Although the world is very large and the society is complex, there are only one or two people who are really close to each other, and the ideas of such a very small number of people are worthy of attention. ββ¦,
"You came up with it yourself?" Feng Zixi suddenly became curious about this young man, and it was not easy to analyze it in such detail before he finished reading "Lolita".
"Huh! I don't have that kind of ability, which one of my seniors told me when he gave me the book. He also told me that we should be positive, and we must not take a negative role because of the emptiness in our hearts. Maintain an optimistic mood to forget the pain and live a positive life. The young man recalled every word the senior had said to him.
Feng Zixi nodded and said, "Yes!" Positive life, optimistic emotions, but how many people can really do it? Many times, people will be controlled by seven emotions and six desires, sadness, depression, depression, resulting in psychological imbalance or distortion, this kind of people in today's society, is not uncommon. β
As if they had found a soulmate, the two of them talked freely about where a copy of "Lolita" was. I took out my knowledge of this book, as well as some of my own experiences, to communicate, like friends who have known each other for many years, and have nothing to say.
"Kim Tae-pyeong, Department of Drama and Film, Chung-Ang University." The young man stretched out his hand and belatedly introduced himself to Feng Zixi.
"Feng Zixi, Department of Drama and Film, Seoul National University." Feng Zixi held the young man, oh, it should be called Jin Taiping now, and he held his hand and introduced.
"So you're a student at Seoul National University! No wonder the knowledge is so good. Jin Taiping glanced up and down Feng Zixi a few times, and asked in disbelief: "You are also here to audition?" Looks like I'm hopeless this time. β
"How can there be no hope? Everyone is playing fair, and who will be selected in the end, maybe it's anyone! Why didn't you even fight, so you admitted defeat first? β
Kim Tae-pyeong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, I didn't have much interest in this advertisement, but I just tried it as an experience." But when I saw you, I told me I didn't even need to go in and audition. β
"You are too complimentary, if you are the director, I want Xie Lu to thank you for your promotion, but unfortunately you are not." Feng Zixi also shrugged his shoulders, showing a helpless smile.
"You may not know that Ivyclub has selected two heroines, one of whom is Seoul National University, if you are added, this is the biggest gimmick of this advertisement, I don't think the planning department and director of Ivyclub school uniform company will not be unaware of this. So you have better qualifications than everyone here. Jin Taiping glanced around a few times, leaned over, and whispered in Feng Zixi's ear.
"Really? One of the heroines is also from Seoul National University? How do you know that Lu Dao is so clear, there can't be some inside information, right? β
Regarding Feng Zixi's suspicions, Jin Taiping smiled bitterly: "It's not that I have great powers, it's just that I was late just now, came in late, and overheard a staff member talk about it." β
"Jin Taiping, which one is Jin Taiping, it's your turn to go in." At this moment, the staff shouted Kim Tae-pyeong's name.
"Then I'll go in first, leave the contact number later, and we'll find time to come out and play together."
The time spent by everyone who went to audition was long and short, and after Feng Zixi and Kim Taeping chatted for a while, nearly half of them had already been interviewed. From the expressions of these people when they walked out of the room, there were joy, depression, calmness and sadness, all kinds of colors, just like life.
It only took ten minutes for Kim Taeping to come out, and there was no joy or sorrow on his face, and he looked very calm. Even Feng Zixi couldn't help but worry about whether he was overstimulated.
"How? Did you choose it? Feng Zixi hurriedly walked over, trying to comfort the friend he had just met.
Jin Taiping tightened his backpack, patted Feng Zixi's shoulder and said, "Let me go back and wait for news, but I don't think there is much hope." I'm very optimistic about you right now, and I must work hard. FigtingοΌ ββ¦,
The two have known each other for about half an hour, but because they are of similar grades and have similar interests, they easily become friends. Regarding Jin Taiping's encouragement to himself, Feng Zixi clenched his fists and said vigorously: "Figting, I won't admit defeat easily, I will definitely do it." β
After the two exchanged contact numbers, Kim Tae-pyeong rushed to the school, according to him, this commercial audition was contacted with the help of a friend who works at a TV station, and because the time was tight and there was not much time to prepare, he did not have much hope. However, being able to meet Feng Zixi here, Kim Tae-ping said that this audition was already worth it.
Finally, it was Feng Zixi's turn, and under the leadership of the staff, he entered the room. This room is the same one that Kim Yong-ho had brought them in, a large blue set with several cameras and a video camera around it to record the entire audition process. On the side of the wall of the room, there were four people sitting at a long table, one of whom was Cui Quanhuan PD, whom Feng Zixi knew, and who was also the general responsibility for the shooting of this advertisement.
Feng Zixi came to the long table, saluted the four of them very respectfully, and said, "Hello seniors! I'm Feng Zixi, please advise. β
The bald middle-aged man sitting in the middle, full of momentum, carefully browsed the information submitted by Feng Zixi, and then handed it over to the only woman on the scene next to him, clasped his hands on his chest, closed his eyes slightly, and asked: "The information shows that you are a third-year student in the Department of Drama and Film and the Department of Social Sciences of Seoul National University, and you are only nineteen years old this year. Let me be offended to ask, why don't you have your secondary and high school qualifications on your profile? Wouldn't it be because of the fake and panicked and forgot to fill it in? Otherwise, when did a genius student appear in South Korea, why did I never hear about it? Can you explain? β
"I didn't go to middle school or high school in South Korea, so naturally I don't have any academic information in this area, which doesn't mean that my information is not true." Feng Zixi's face did not change at all under the gaze of everyone, and he said calmly: "I completed my elementary school in Canada, and my middle school was a private high school in New York, and then I entered Brooklyn Technical High School, which can be found on the school's website." And my former alma mater --- New York University, and I have the most detailed academic information, which can be proved true or false with just a phone call. β
Except for Cui Quanhuan, the other three all looked at each other, and the bald middle-aged man asked again: "You also know that this advertisement is about school uniforms, so what do you think of the company's school uniforms, or do you have your own opinions?" It doesn't hurt to be straightforward, I just want to hear different opinions from different people. β
"School uniforms originally meant that the person wearing them was a student, but with the development of fashion trends and the innovative concept of Ivyclub school uniform company, school uniforms have become a trend in young people's clothing. But after all, school uniforms are young people's clothing, so advertising should also be in line with young people's tastes. Energetic and vibrant, colorful life, handsome appearance, and popular style are all pursued by young people, and they are also the key points that can attract the attention of young people. Feng Zixi talked about it, and several of the people present above couldn't help but nod their heads relative to each other, and seemed to be very satisfied with Feng Zixi's performance.
