Chapter 43: Auditions

"Anihassai."

Ji Jingyuan walked into the office and saluted the few people sitting inside.

This is in the office of the crew of "Please Answer 1997", and Ji Jingyuan is here to interview for the actor.

Whether it was Park Jae-hyun or the crew of "Please Answer 1997", they moved very quickly, and immediately arranged this interview after having an intention.

At this time, several main characters in the crew sat in the office, including Lee Myung-han, director Shin Won-ho, and screenwriter Lee You-jung.

After Ji Jingyuan walked into the office, everyone stared at him for a while, nodded slightly, and the writer Li Youzhen's eyes lit up obviously, and a conspicuous look of appreciation appeared on his face.

"Jingyuan, originally the crew interview was to be in a more formal occasion, and there will be cameras to follow the shooting, and there will be more participants."

Li Minghan nodded at Chi Jingyuan, and said with a smile: "But since you were introduced by your seniors, some steps can be saved, just take a look at a few of us." ”

"Inner, Consanmida." Chi Jingyuan saluted again.

Several crew leaders nodded one after another, looking very satisfied with Chi Jingyuan.

"Then let's get started, introduce yourself first, don't be nervous, take it easy." Lee signaled for the audition to begin.

"Anihassai, I'm EXO's busy Uchichi Keigen, nineteen years old this year, and I debuted as an idol in April this year." Chi Jingyuan made a brief self-introduction.

"Nineteen years old, did you take the college entrance examination?" Shen Yuanhao asked.

"I took the college entrance examination last year and was successfully admitted to Yonsei University, but I took a year off because of my debut, and I am currently taking a leave of absence." Ji Jingyuan nodded

"Hmm." Several people looked at each other for a moment and couldn't help but nod.

"Jing Yuan hasn't acted before, right?" Writer Li Youzhen asked with a smile.

"Inside, this is the first time I've tried a TV series, and I've only been on acting and filming some commercials before."

"Haha, I've seen the commercials you filmed, and they were very good." Li Youzhen bared her teeth with a smile, and what she said was already obviously biased.

"How's the Busan dialect going? There are still a lot of dialects in our lines. Shen Yuanhao asked.

"I didn't speak the Busan dialect before, but I immediately found a teacher to guide me when I wanted to audition, and I'm now practicing."

"Then read this line." Shin Won-ho took out the script of the lines, pointed to a sentence and handed it to Ji Jingyuan.

Chi Jingyuan took it with both hands, glanced at the script, silently recited the lines in his heart, and after brewing his feelings for a while, he said in a fierce tone of broken jars: "If you have the ability, you will kill me, let's die together!" ”

"Hehe......" everyone laughed, then clapped and nodded slightly.

"Well, it's not very accurate, but you have that flavor, and you're just starting to learn?"

Shen Yuanhao asked in surprise, and after getting confirmation, he shook his head and sighed: "It's really a language genius." ”

"If you were asked to cut your hair short for a role, would you have any concerns?" Li Youzhen observed for a while, looked at Chi Jingyuan's face and asked.

"No, in order to adapt to the role, I can accept no matter how short the hairstyle is."

Chi Jingyuan replied without hesitation.

Idiots will say they can't accept it.

β€œjinjia? As an idol, you should always be on stage, won't it make a difference? ”

"Ani, I can go on stage with a hat on, and it feels a little better than my current hairstyle." Ji Jingyuan pursed his lips and smiled.

"Ha ......" was another burst of laughter.

"Haha, that's not going to be it, it's not going to be that short." Li Youzhen shook her head and explained:

"Originally, the length of the hairstyle we designed for the male protagonist was also relatively long, and the bangs would cover all the foreheads. But if it's Jingyuan, I think it's better to have short hair, especially the forehead must not be completely blocked, your temperament is really great. ”

"Ah jinjia, this appearance and temperament are really the male protagonist in my heart, if it's Jingyuan, I feel that I can appropriately increase some of the male protagonist's roles, after all, it's a pity not to use such an excellent appearance."

Li Youzhen has already expressed her position, and compared with the previous candidates, she thinks Chi Jingyuan is perfect.

Next, he asked a few more questions, and Chi Jingyuan answered them fluently.

It can be seen that the members of the crew are quite satisfied, whether it is personal appearance or other qualities, it is really very suitable.

For them, a crew composed of a group of novices that no one is optimistic about, Chi Jingyuan's appearance is already the top match.

"Jingyuan, it's obviously the first time to audition, why aren't you nervous at all?"

Shen Yuanhao asked curiously.

"Ani, I'm actually very nervous, and I'm about to lose my footing."

Chi Jingyuan immediately shook his head, covering his chest, looking like he was holding on.

"Ah, this kid ......" Shin Won-ho smiled and shook his head.

"Well, then Jingyuan, you go back first, let's discuss it, and the result will be notified to you soon."

In the end, Li Minghan made a summary, he stood up and walked to Ji Jingyuan's side with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and asked: "There should be no problem, make more preparations after you go back, the Busan dialect still needs more practice." ”

It's not a clear statement, but the results have basically been announced.

"Inside, thank you."

Chi Jingyuan smiled and saluted. Everyone also nodded and waved, and they were all very enthusiastic.

After Chi Jingyuan said goodbye, Li Minghan breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the several trees that jumped with him, and said with a smile:

"What do you think?"

"PD, you've already told people like this, and you're still asking for our opinions?" Shin Won-ho had a dissatisfied expression on his face.

His expression broke after holding on for a second, grinned, and shook his head incessantly: "Hey Yigu, this quality is really excellent, no matter the appearance or temperament, it is really much stronger than other candidates, I have no opinion." ”

"Supposedly still a member of the boy band? This temperament is like an Idol,"

"Yes, this is obviously not cultivated by ordinary families." Several people expressed their opinions.

"Although I have no experience in acting, and the Busan dialect still needs to be trained, the appearance advantages are enough to overwrite these shortcomings."

Director Park Sung-jae also nodded and commented: "And in terms of our budget, it is difficult to hire suitable actors who meet the requirements and whose acting skills have been tested, and Ji Kyung-won is already the best." ”

Everyone expressed their opinions, and soon reached an agreement.

The selection of the protagonist can no longer be delayed, and Ji Jingyuan's appearance and the quality he shows really make them speechless.

"Then it's so decided, make an offer and a contract, and send it to SM." Li Minghan acted vigorously and immediately made arrangements: "Youzhen, do you mean it to add drama to the male protagonist?" ”

"Inside, PD, I think with Jingyuan's excellent appearance, some of the plot and character of the original script seem a little inappropriate, and some changes need to be made."

Writer Li Youzhen nodded in confirmation, "And I think that increasing the weight of the male protagonist will make the whole plot more attractive." ”

"Then do it, I think so too." Li Minghan nodded and said approvingly: "In my experience, even I can have a good impression when I see him, and this kid's face must be very popular." ”

"The actor has been decided, and the heroine Cheng Shiyuan is missing, is there a candidate for the audition?"

"Inside, I am also an artist from an idol group, and I made an appointment to audition the day after tomorrow."

"An idol again?"
