Seoul, Jang Chung-ro, National Theater.

Founded in 1950, this temple in the hearts of artists from H countries is the first national theater in Asia and a cultural center that inherits traditional art and advocates modern art.

The theater regularly holds a variety of performances, and the artists who can appear at the National Theater represent the highest level of stage performing arts in country H.

No. 1 Sunrise Theatre Hall

The massive theater, which can accommodate 1,221 people at a time, is already full at 8 a.m.

The audience on the third floor is full of white-skinned and beautiful female artists of country H.

They chose the seats that suited them according to their debut time and popularity.

In the first row, Park Shin Hye, Bae so-ji, Shin Min-a, Han Hyo-joo, Shin Se-kyung, Lee Yoon-hee, Ko Ya-ra, Kim Go-eun, Lim so-hyang, Kim So-hyun and other actresses gathered.

Because of the group audition and the fact that the female lead role is the second daughter in the middle, some top female stars who originally wanted to audition alone gave up the opportunity to enter the overseas market with CJ Entertainment.

Those who can be present regard opportunities as more important than individual honors, they don't care about the big stage of group auditions, and of course they are full of confidence in their acting skills.

In addition to the popular actresses in the first row, there are also idols and new-generation actors with dreams such as Lee Hye-ri, Kim Ji-so, Han Eun-jung, Baek Jin-hee, Kang Han-na, Shin Hye-sun, Lee Se-young, Park Se-young, Lee Do-hee, etc.

Kim Jisoo sat at the leftmost end of the seventh row on the first floor, and next to her was Han So-hee.

Although it was the first time for the two to meet, Han Suxi was extremely enthusiastic and took the initiative to chat with Kim Jiso: "I watched every episode of "When You Were Sleeping" starring Jisoo Xi, and the acting was really good. ”

Kim Jisoo didn't recognize Han So-hee at first, but later remembered that the beautiful actress was an artist affiliated with an entertainment company, and she also chatted with each other.

8:55 a.m

Five chairs and a table were added in front of the first row of seats.

Five nameplates are placed on the table in turn, from left to right, they are Yoo Sang-ho, Heo Myung-hui, Lee Sung-ho, Bong Joon-ho, and Han Jin-won.

Yoo Sang-ho represented the film producer, Heo Myung-hui represented the film producer, Lee Sung-ho was the general director, Bong Joon-ho represented the filming team, and Han Jin-won represented the script team.

9 o'clock in the morning.

The double doors of the Sunrise Theater lobby slowly pushed open.

Li Chenghao is in the center and is at the forefront, communicating with Xu Minghui next to him about the movie.

Bong Joon-ho and the others are discussing the benchmark of today's casting, how to balance the image type that meets the script setting and the market value of commercial films, both of which are indispensable.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The female artists who came to the theater to participate in the audition stood up and applauded.

Li Chenghao waved his hand simply, and took the judging team for today's audition to sit down.

The staff handed over the microphone, and Bong Joon-ho confirmed whether the McCann style could be used normally and said, "First of all, welcome to today's audition for the role of the crew of "Parasite", and I will introduce today's judges before the official audition begins. ”

"On the far left is Nim, Minister of the Film Production Center of the TVN Broadcasting Bureau, Yoo Sang-ho"

"Next to Minister Yoo Sang-ho nim is CJ Entertainment's Heo Myung-ga representative nim."

"Next to me is Han Jin-won, the writer of the movie "Parasite", Nim"

"I'm Bong Joon-ho, the director of "Parasite""

"Finally, let us welcome President Nim Lee Sung-ho, the general director of the movie "Parasite", with the warmest applause."

Bong Joon-ho did not introduce Lee Sung-ho's position, and he didn't know how to introduce it, the president of TVN Broadcasting, the president of the entertainment company, the president of Sunward Capital, or the second young master of CJ Group.

After introducing the review, Li Chenghao began to speak.

The words are very brief, encouraging the female artists who came to the audition today to show their best, although the competition is fierce, but I also hope that everyone can do their best not to leave with only regrets.

9:10 a.m

According to the order of registration, the female artists present began the audition in groups of ten.

Each person has a minute to perform the random lines assigned to them, and the gap between experienced actresses and newcomer actresses is obvious.

There are also more prominent newcomer actresses, but unfortunately they can't meet the crew's requirements for roles.

The bench table is in the center

Xu Minghui discussed with Li Chenghao in a low voice: "Young master nim, we should first capture the local audience in country H in terms of commercial value, at least to create a hot topic in country H, so that it can stand in the overseas market." ”

"What does Representative Xu mean?"

Among the actors who have completed the audition, Xu Myunghui thinks that Bae so-ji, Park Shin-hye, and Shin Min-ah are all good.

Li Chenghao did not deny these three actresses, although they can decide who will play this role, but Li Chenghao still means that the script setting is the core, and if you are not a professional, don't interfere too much with the choice of professionals.

Xu Minghui could only nod his head, probably thinking in his heart, didn't you interfere with the role selection before, and you said it yourself when CJ Entertainment held a monthly meeting.

is the girl called Kim Jisoo, and she was able to star in "When You Were Sleeping" entirely because of the relationship recommended by Lee Sung-ho.

Xu Minghui has seen comments from netizens criticizing Kim Ji-so's acting skills on the Internet, although he watched it in the first four episodes, he habitually thinks that this person's acting skills are not good at the beginning and are also bad at the end.

Just thinking about it

Kim Ji-so and Han So-hee took to the stage, along with eight other young actresses.

Rise

Xu Minghui's eyes stayed on Kim Jisoo and Han Suxi, leaned over to Lee Sung-ho's side and said: "Young Master Nim, the two female artists on the left, the first is the female idol recommended by Young Master Nim to appear in the TV series before, and the second is an actor affiliated to Young Master Nim's company, right?" ”

Lee Sung-ho originally lowered his head and reviewed the scoring results of the female artists who completed the audition before reviewing himself.

Hearing Xu Minghui's reminder, he slowly looked up at the stage.

Glancing from left to right, Kim Jisoo is undoubtedly the most eye-catching among the female artists currently auditioning on stage.

It's not because she usually wears a star-studded outfit in front of the camera, but she is just wearing a very ordinary dark blue long-sleeved shirt with half-sleeved sleeves pulled up, paired with a pair of black floral pants and a pair of crumpled looking sneakers.

The hair is also not as flowing and soft as other female artists, and it feels like I haven't washed my hair in days.

Looking at the distant eyes, his eyes were a little empty, his left hand was wrapped around his chest, his right hand was pillowed on his left arm, his thumb was clasped with his index finger very secretly, and he bit his lip with a pensive expression.

Bong Joon-ho and Han Jin-won, who were sitting on the right side of Lee Sung-ho, suddenly got together, and their voices were not small: "That's Kim Jiso-so Xi, right?" ”

Han Jin-won stared at Kim Ji-so on the stage and said, "Director Nim, I thought it was her at first sight"

Bong Joon-ho also participated in the creation of the script, and at the same time made a lot of suggestions for the setting of the actors, and Kim Ji-so, whether he was dressed or his expression at this moment, gave Bong Joon-ho the same feeling.

It seems that the character set by him and Han Jin-won is based on Kim Ji-so.
