Chapter Seventy-One: Auditions
Despite the stumbling, the commercial was finally filmed in one day, and Kim Sung-won rushed back to the music room non-stop.
"How's the ad going? Will there be another scandal? Zheng Zhuyuan still has that gossipy temperament.
"Teacher, you are also a person in the entertainment industry, so it's a shame." Kim Sung-won was already completely familiar with Zheng Zhuyuan's character, and joked not too much.
"Your kid's personality is much more pleasing to the eye now, and when I first came here last year, it was really annoying to be able to do everything at a glance." Zheng Zhuyuan patted Jin Shengyuan on the shoulder indifferently and said.
"It's the teacher, your personality is too different, if anyone in South Korea treats the teacher like me, I'm afraid they will already be dragged to the street to criticize." Jin Shengyuan said.
"I don't know who to show so many vain rules, and it's better to do things in a down-to-earth manner than anything else," Zheng Zhuyuan said with a disdainful face.
Jin Shengyuan was just about to speak, when his mobile phone rang suddenly.
"Hello," Jin Sung-won asked.
"Mr. Kim Sung-won, right?" The voice on the phone was not the slightest emotion.
"Yes," Jin Shengyuan couldn't help frowning slightly and replied.
"This is the MBC TV crew, and I hope you can come to the audition for the actor in "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. I believe you are already very familiar with the content of the script, and I hope you are not late. After the voice on the phone finished speaking, he told Jin Shengyuan an address and ended the call.
"Audition for the lead actor in a TV series?" Zheng Zhuyuan heard it clearly on the side, and tried his best to widen a pair of slit-like eyes, and exclaimed in surprise.
"I think I know what's going on." Jin Shengyuan pinched his chin, and somewhat understood what the voice on the phone sounded like
It seems that he is a little dissatisfied with himself.
"What's the situation? Didn't you apply on your own initiative? Zheng Zhuyuan's reaction was very sharp, and he asked strangely.
"Well, I'll make a call." Kim Sung-won nodded and dialed Ji so-hyun's phone.
"Hello, Mr. Kim Sung-won." Ji so-hyun's voice rang in his ears with a hint of excitement.
"Hello, your submission has passed?" Jin Shengyuan asked with a smile.
"Well, a director likes my novel so much that it's been handed over to the screenwriter for adaptation." Ji so-hyun said.
"I want to ask, did you recommend me to audition for the leading actor?" Jin Shengyuan asked.
"Yes, I think your image is very much in line with my positioning as a leading actor, so I recommended you to Director Kim. Has Director Kim already called you? He said he would prioritize you. Ji so-hyun said in a row.
"You've already called me, so I just called you to thank you." Kim Sung-won knew that most of the things were not as simple as Ji so-hyun said, and Director Kim estimated that he had already put himself in the cold palace in his heart, but he expressed his sincere gratitude to Ji so-hyun.
After ending the call, Jin Shengyuan looked at Teacher Zheng Zhuyuan who was bubbling with gossip in his eyes, and had no choice but to tell him what happened.
"Is this all right?" After listening to it, Zheng Zhuyuan was surprised, "That guy was able to promise Ji Xiuxian to let you go to the audition, it seems that he really values that script." You can actually yujian this kind of thing when you take the subway, and a few simple words can be exchanged for a chance to compete for the leading actor in the TV series, amazing! ”
Jin Shengyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, I'm not an actor!" I don't know anything about acting, it's okay to shoot an advertisement, do you think it's possible for me to be the leading actor? ”
"Indeed, your acting skills are a problem," Zheng Zhuyuan finally said seriously, "but how do you know if you can't do it without trying?" Maybe that director will fall in love with you? ”
"Do you think he might be in my tone?" Jin Shengyuan shook his head and dialed back the phone, ready to refuse directly, but no one answered the phone at all, and it was like this several times in a row.
"I'm going to make a trip to MBC TV tomorrow morning!" After Jin Shengyuan put away his mobile phone, he was a little impatient. For this audition, he really didn't even expect a 1/10,000 fluke, and for this kind of thing that didn't have the slightest chance, he felt that there was no need to participate at all, but the other party was MBC TV, even if he didn't want to, he had to correct his attitude,
"Think of it as an experience, good for you." Zheng Zhuyuan knew Jin Shengyuan's character very well, patted him on the shoulder, and said.
Kim Sung-won nodded and began to prepare for tomorrow's audition, no matter what the result is, it must not leave people with a frivolous and irresponsible attitude, after all, Ji so-hyun can sincerely recommend him to the director. …,
Kim Sung-won doesn't know many actor friends, although he also has phone calls from Park Shin-yang and Kim Yeon-eun, but he is only a general friend with them, and asking them for advice will undoubtedly seem a little abrupt, and Moon Geun-young is now so tired from filming new movies that he only has one day off during the Spring Festival. Kim Sung-won thought about it, but he could only dial Kim Tae-hee's phone again.
"What? You said you were going to audition for the lead actor in a TV series? Even through phone communication, Kim Sung-won could fully imagine Kim Tae-hee's surprised expression at this time.
"With your lame acting skills, I advise you not to go." Kim Tae-hee did not have the slightest tact, and said directly.
"It's one thing to have a result, it's another thing to have an attitude. Since my friend really recommended me, how could I waste my friend's heart just because of my own problems. Although Kim Sung-won knew that Kim Tae-hee was thinking about himself so as not to be ridiculed, he still replied seriously.
"Okay, I'll tell you a few things to keep in mind when auditioning, talking too much can cause stress on you." Kim Tae-hee saw that Kim Sung-won insisted on going, and he did not hesitate, telling him some tips he summarized during his audition.
"Xiexie, Sister Tae-hee." Jin Shengyuan wrote these down carefully, and said with thanks.
"Good luck tomorrow." Although Kim Tae-hee did not have expectations for Kim Sung-won's audition tomorrow, he also said it from the bottom of his heart.
Early the next morning, Kim Sung-won changed into a clean and refreshing casual suit and came to the audition location that the person on the phone told him.
Following the guidance of the staff, after coming to the audition venue, Jin Shengyuan found that there were already many people waiting in line here. As the actor of the scandal storm a while ago, obviously many people present recognized him, although there was no obvious pointing, but the suspicious and sneering eyes also made him slightly uncomfortable.
Jin Shengyuan ignored everyone and went directly to the staff to get the number.
"Jin Shengyuan?" The staff member obviously recognized him, and after asking, he said expressionlessly: "Your interview location is not here, please go to room 106 on the first basement floor." ”
“xiexie。” Jin Shengyuan did not show the dissatisfaction in his heart, and after lightly thanking him, he walked underground.
The people waiting in line for the interview obviously heard the words of the staff, and there was a small commotion, but there were only two or three newcomers who asked the reason and expressed their dissatisfaction, and the rest of the people were already used to this kind of thing, but they were slightly dissatisfied because of Jin Shengyuan's identity.
"Knock knock knock ......", after Jin Shengyuan came to room 106 on the first basement floor, he found that there was no staff around, so he had to step forward and knock lightly on the door.
"Please come in." A deep male voice, similar to the voice on the phone yesterday.
"Hello, I'm Jin Shengyuan." Jin Shengyuan pushed open the door and found that it was a room of about thirty square meters, with a microphone in the middle, and four people sat behind the table and looked at Jin Shengyuan together.
"You're Jin Shengyuan?" The man in the middle, who was about forty years old, asked again, and Kim Sung-won saw his name tag, director Kim Yoon-chul, the person who called him last night.
"Yes, Director." Jin Shengyuan walked to the middle position in front of the four people and replied.
"If it weren't for writer Ji so-hyun's strong plea, I would never have agreed to invite you to audition." Kim Yoon-chul said unceremoniously that as a cutting-edge director, he has his own set of concepts and is very strict with casting requirements, and it is difficult for him to take a fancy to a layman like Kim Sung-won who has no acting training at all.
Jin Shengyuan often heard that some actors were scolded by the director during auditions, but he didn't expect that he would be such a "straightforward" director today, but although the other party's words were direct, he didn't scold them indiscriminately, and he was a more rational director.
"I wasn't prepared for anything. Originally, I saw her writing a novel on the subway, which is anti-pop and crying at every turn, and I thought it was very good, so I pointed her to MBC TV to submit, but I didn't expect her to recommend me as the leading actor. Jin Shengyuan abandoned the lines he was preparing and said directly.
"Oh?" Jin Yinzhe was slightly surprised after hearing this, he didn't expect the reason for the matter to be just like this, his face was slightly relaxed, but it didn't change much, he flipped through the information in his hand, and said: "Zhenxuan and Xizhen broke up, which made both of them lose. Zhenxuan can't forget his 5-year relationship with Hee Jin, and he is immersed in sadness every day. You perform a scene of Zhenxuan's sadness. ”…,
Kim Yoon-cheol's resolute behavior once again disrupted Kim Sung-won's expectations, but the experience in the variety show for almost a year made him not panic in the face of any situation, nodded, closed his eyes slightly and began to brew feelings.
No matter how hard you try, it is impossible to turn a singer and comedian into a professional actor in one night. So, Kim Sung-won's performance failed unexpectedly.
"It's obvious that you know almost nothing about acting, and from what you said before, you don't have the idea of wanting to participate in this TV series, and weishenme still has to come to the interview?" Seeing that Jin Sungwon's expression had barely changed much, Jin Yinzhe couldn't help but ask.
Kim Sung-won repeated what he had said to Kim Tae-hee, then bowed slightly, ready to leave.
"Please wait a minute." The woman next to Kim Yoon-chul suddenly said that she was a screenwriter.
Jin Shengyuan stopped and quietly waited for the other party's question.
"I heard that you are proficient in seven foreign languages, piano, guitar and other musical instruments, and you are good at lyrics and music?" Screenwriter Kim Do-woo asked.
"Yes," Jin Shengyuan said without the slightest hesitation, nodding.
Director Kim Yoon-cheol obviously didn't understand this because he was very prejudiced against Kim Sung-won, and looked at the young man in front of him who was always calm.
"Can you put on a show for us?" Kim Do-woo asked with a smile.
"There's no problem with the language, but the instrument?" Jin Shengyuan looked at the empty room and said.
"Then show your spoken language first." Jin Daoyu whispered to the other man beside him, and then gestured to Jin Shengyuan.
