Chapter 43 Auditions
"Anihasay."

Chi Jingyuan walked into the office and greeted several people sitting inside.

This is in the office of the crew of "Please Answer 1997". Chi Jingyuan came to conduct the interview for the leading actor.

Whether it's Park Jae-hyun or the crew of "Reply 1997", they acted very quickly, and immediately arranged this interview after they had an interest.

At this time, several main characters of the crew were sitting in the office, including Li Minghan, director Shen Yuanhao, and screenwriter Li Youzhen.

After Chi Jingyuan walked into the office, everyone stared at him for a while, then nodded lightly. Writer Li Youzhen's eyes lit up, and a conspicuous expression of appreciation appeared on his face.

"Jing Yuan, originally the interview with the crew will be held in a more formal setting, and there will be a camera to follow the filming, so more people will participate."

Li Minghan nodded to Chi Jingyuan, and said with a smile: "But since you were introduced by seniors, some steps can be saved, and we just have to take a look."

"Inside, Kangsang Mita." Chi Jingyuan saluted again.

Several crew chiefs nodded one after another, seeming very satisfied with Chi Jingyuan.

"Then let's get started. Let me introduce myself first. Don't be nervous, just relax." Li Minghan motioned for the audition to begin.

"Aniha Sai, I am Ji Jingyuan, the youngest member of EXO. I am 19 years old and debuted as an idol in April this year." Chi Jingyuan made a simple self-introduction.

"19 years old, have you taken the college entrance examination yet?" Shen Yuanhao asked.

"Nai, I took the college entrance examination last year and was successfully admitted to Yonsei University. Because of my debut, I took a one-year break from school, and I'm currently on leave." Chi Jingyuan nodded
"Yeah." Several people looked at each other and couldn't help but nodded.

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

"Nai, this is the first time to try a TV series. I just got into acting and filmed some commercials before."

"Haha, I've seen the commercial you shot, and it's very good." Li Youzhen smiled and showed her teeth, and her words were obviously biased.

"How do you speak Busan dialect? Dialects account for a lot of lines in our drama." Shen Yuanhao asked.

"Nei, I didn't speak the Busan dialect before, and I immediately found a teacher to guide me after I had an audition intention, and I'm currently practicing."

"Then read this line." Shen Yuanhao took out the line script, pointed to a line and handed it to Chi Jingyuan.

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

"Hehe..." Everyone laughed out loud, then lightly applauded and nodded.

"Well, although it's not very accurate, but it has that taste, have you just started learning?"

Shen Yuanhao asked a question in surprise, and after getting confirmation, he shook his head and sighed: "He is really a language genius."

"If you are asked to cut your hair short for the role play, will you have any concerns?" Li Youzhen asked after observing Chi Jingyuan's face for a while.

"No, in order to adapt to the role, I can accept any short hairstyle."

Chi Jingyuan answered without hesitation.

Only an idiot would say it's unacceptable.

"Jinjia? As an idol, you should often go on stage, won't it affect you?"

"Ani, I can wear a hat on stage, it looks better than my current hairstyle." Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and smiled.

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

"Haha, that's not the case, it won't be so short." Li Youzhen shook her head and explained:
"Originally, the hairstyle we designed for the male lead was relatively long, and the bangs would cover the entire forehead. But if it's you, Jing Yuan, I think short hair looks better, especially since the forehead must not be completely blocked. Yours The smell is really great.”

"Ah Jinjia, this appearance and temperament is really the leading actor in my heart. If it is Jing Yuan, I feel that some leading roles can be added appropriately. After all, it would be a pity not to use such an excellent appearance."

Li Youzhen has already expressed her opinion. Compared with the previous candidates, she thinks Chi Jingyuan is perfect.

Then asked a few more questions, Chi Jingyuan answered fluently.

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

For their crew, a group of novices who are not optimistic, Chi Jingyuan's appearance is already a top match.

"Jing Yuan, it's obviously the first audition, why aren't you nervous at all?"

Shen Yuanhao asked curiously.

"Oh, Arnie, I'm actually very nervous, and I'm almost unable to stand still."

Chi Jingyuan immediately shook his head, clutching his chest, as if holding on.

"Ah, this kid..." Shen Yuanhao smiled and shook his head.

"Well, then Jingyuan, you go back first, let's discuss it, and we will inform you of the result soon."

Finally, Li Minghan made a conclusion. He stood up and walked to Chi Jingyuan with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "There should be no problem. Make more preparations when you go back. Busan dialect needs more practice."

It's not a clear statement, but basically the result has been announced.

"Nei, thank you all."

Chi Jingyuan smiled and saluted and said goodbye.Everyone nodded and waved, all very enthusiastic.

After Chi Jingyuan left, Li Minghan heaved a sigh of relief, looked back at the trees who jumped over with him, and said with a smile:
"how do you feel."

"PD, you've already told people like this, and you still ask our opinion?" Shen Yuanhao showed a dissatisfied expression on his face.

After persisting for a second, his expression broke down, he grinned, and shook his head: "Hey Yigu, this quality is really excellent, no matter the appearance or temperament, compared to other candidates It's much stronger, I have no problem."

"It is said that he is still a member of the boy group? How can this temperament look like an idol?"

"Yeah, this is obviously not something that was brought up by ordinary families." Several people expressed their opinions one after another.

"Although I have no acting experience, and the Busan dialect still needs to be practiced, the advantages of appearance are enough to cover these shortcomings."

Director Park Sung-jae also nodded, and commented: "And considering our budget, it is difficult to find suitable actors who meet the requirements and have tested acting skills. Chi Jingyuan is already the best."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and a consensus was quickly reached.

The choice of the protagonist could no longer be delayed, and Chi Jingyuan's appearance and the quality he displayed really made them speechless.

"Then it's so confirmed, make an invitation and contract, and send it to SM." Li Minghan acted vigorously, and immediately made arrangements: "Youzhen, are you serious about adding a role to the male lead?"

"Nai, PD, I think with Jing Yuan's excellent appearance, some plots and characters of the original script seem a bit inappropriate, and some changes need to be made."

Writer Li Youzhen nodded and confirmed, "And I think adding some male protagonists will make the whole plot more attractive."

"Then let's do it. Actually, I think so too." Li Minghan nodded, and said in agreement: "From my experience, even I can feel good about him when I see him. This kid's face must be very popular with the audience."

"The male lead has been confirmed, the only thing left is Cheng Shiyuan, the female lead. Are there any candidates for an audition?"

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

"An idol again?"
