CJE&M, a CJ Group company, is located in the president's office.

"How's it going, are the market research results out?" Behind the desk, a man in his early forties looked at a young man who had just pushed the door in front of him and said, as the president of the company's film preparation and planning department, he worked hard every day at this age, and his forehead was already full of forehead lines when he raised his eyes.

"President, it's already out, it's all here." The young man entered the door with a black briefcase, and when he heard the inquiry, he immediately pulled out a stack of white documents from inside after opening it.

"Well, you read it to me, analyze it." The man behind the desk knocked on the desk and said unhurriedly.

"Okay." The young man skillfully sorted out the materials in his hand, came to a small blackboard in the office, and compared the information in his hand, and explained from time to time to write and draw.

After half an hour or so, the man behind the desk raised his eyes, looked at the young man and said, "So, the prospects for film investment this time are good?" ”

"Yes, according to the results of market research, many young people and even middle-aged people have shown a strong interest in this theme movie, saying that they will go to the cinema to watch it when it is released." When the young man said this, he remembered something, and then paused and added, "But because of this kind of Western magic movie, in terms of shooting, our country is not very mature in terms of techniques and special effects technology, □whether it is ∧ ♀ in terms of techniques and special effects technology, so Director Yin Qijun has been contacting the Hollywood shooting team, and the investment may be on the budget of 8 billion, and there will be some additions." ”

"Hmm. As long as there is a market, it can be proportional to the income. There is no problem with investing. The man behind the desk nodded, and then remembered something. frowned, "What about the actors?" Does he still insist on choosing people based on his eye? ”

"Hmm." The young man nodded, recalled the report, "Director Yin Qijun said at the crew meeting before that the selection of actors in theme movies with this theme cannot only look at acting skills and fame, because the character templates in this theme movie have already been familiar to the audience in advance in the game, if the existing movie stars are invited to play those templates that have long been fixed heroes, if the image does not match, then the acting skills are good." The audience won't buy it either. ”

"Hehe, so you still insist on choosing your own people?" The middle-aged man behind the desk smiled, looked at the young man and said, "Has he ever considered that if he chooses those unknown newcomers, even if the image is in line with it, there is no appeal to attract the audience into the cinema." ”

"Director Yoon Qijun said at the crew meeting that he had considered this aspect of the problem, but he had already thought of a solution." The young man paused, then continued, "But it doesn't seem that there are no stars. Director Yoon Ki-gyun has already sent an invitation to Lee Hyo-ri for the role of Katerina, one of the protagonists, and he has agreed to come over for an audition in the afternoon. ”

"Lee Hyori?" The man behind the desk with a cigar nodded. Then he knocked on the table and said, "Let's do this first, after the cast list is decided." Don't forget to send me one. ”

"Okay, President." The young man nodded. Then he stooped down and exited the office

After lunch in the middle of the road, Kim so-jin drove Lee Sang-hyuk to the audition location of CJE&M. Li Meier stayed in the previous small building.

I have to say that South Korea's real estate is still very humane in this regard, buying a house has basically met the needs of renting a bag and living in it, of course, these services are aimed at the upper class of South Korea, provided that you have enough funds.

After arriving at CJE&M, Lee Sang-hyuk and Kim so-jin followed the staff's instructions to the audition location, and Lee Sang-hyuk couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he found that there were already many people waiting in line at the scene.

In fact, he didn't have hope for his acting skills, but after all, this was an active audition invitation from the other side, and the company also accepted it, so as an artist signed by the company, it was naturally necessary for him to come over for this trip.

As a hot and popular newcomer in the e-sports entertainment industry, coupled with the scandal with Tara two days ago, his reputation has also been even worse, and many of the entertainment industry artists who are waiting in line at the scene recognize him and point at him from time to time, which makes Lee Sang-hyuk can't help but have a sense of "cross-border infringement of other people's territory".

But fortunately, he found two people who were "sympathetic" with him in the crowd queuing at the scene, namely CJB's "princess" Flame, and NJS's e-sports flower boy watch.

"Sister Xiuzhen, are they also here to audition?" Lee Sang-hyuk couldn't help but touch Kim so-jin's arm beside him, and then looked at E and said.

"I guess I'm here for an audition." Kim so-jin followed Lee Sang-hyuk's line of sight, nodded and said, and then she smiled and teased, "What's the matter, seeing that the people in the circle are under pressure?" ”

"Uh," Lee Sang-hyuk said a little speechlessly, "I'm just a little surprised that their professional players also have time to make movies?" ”

"Time can be squeezed out." Kim so-jin couldn't help but smile and said, "Professional players play e-sports competitions to entertain the audience, and movies are also made to entertain the audience, it's almost the same." ”

Although Lee Sang-hyuk knows that Korean e-sports in this parallel world has long been combined with entertainment, the e-sports circle is the entertainment industry, and e-sports stars are entertainment stars, but after hearing Kim so-jin's natural answer, Lee Sang-hyuk was still speechless for a while, and at the same time, he also remembered his previous life when he dropped out of school and ran away from home for the so-called "e-sports dream", and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Lee Sang-hyuk received the interview number under the leadership of Kim so-jin, and then went to the waiting room on the side under his prompting.

In fact, the people queuing up at the scene were also prompted to wait for the interview in the waiting room on the side, but generally those famous big stars in the entertainment industry are directly issued by the director, and even if the audition is mostly a process, and it is also a direct interview with the director, let alone waiting in line here.

Therefore, it can be seen from here that the people waiting in line here are basically those who do not have a very high status or no status in the entertainment industry, or cross-border players like Flame and Watch, and finally have an opportunity to seize it, so they naturally don't have the leisure to run to the waiting room to wait patiently.

But Lee Sang-hyuk didn't have much hope for this at all, he came here to simply go through the "process", and after coming to the waiting room on the side, he took out a magazine on the shelf, sat there and flipped through it boringly, and Kim so-jin was also speechless for a while.

After a while, when Lee Sang-hyuk was sitting on a chair and reading miscellaneous magazines in the afternoon sun, he was a little drowsy, and there was a commotion and discussion at the scene waiting for the queue outside.

"Lee Hyori, it's Lee Hyoriye!"

"It's really her, is she going to audition for this movie, then we don't have a chance."

"How can there be such a statement, there are many roles in this theme movie, and Lee Hyori's predecessors can't do it alone."

"But seriously, Lee Hyori's predecessor seems to be the first big star to appear today, I don't know if the director has invited anyone else this time."

“”

Lee Sang-hyuk couldn't help but look up with some curiosity, but found that a woman in a red leather coat was waiting outside for a woman wearing sunglasses and leading an assistant on the side.

The woman ignored the discussion of everyone at the scene, but went directly to the staff to get the number.

"Lee Hyori?" The staff member obviously recognized her, and after asking, he continued to politely say, "Your interview location is not here, please go to room 103 on the first basement floor." ”

"Thank you." After taking the sign, Lee Hyo-ri took off his sunglasses and glanced at them, then put them back on, turned around and walked to the side of the passage with the assistant beside him
