Chapter 541 Did She Act?

Regarding the TV series, I still need to communicate with the main agent first. Chi Jingyuan called Li Chenghuan, and then went to his office with the information.

Chi Jingyuan read the script and related materials that Jin Yuanxi gave him countless times, and at the same time asked Park Jae-hyun to inquire about the news about this drama in the circle.

After two days of careful consideration, Chi Jingyuan has decided to participate in this drama.

Regardless of the main creative team, cast, script, and TV station's support, "Signal" can be regarded as the best batch in the peninsula TV drama circle, especially in the script, although there are many bugs, it is really It's very exciting, and it makes people feel that half of the success has been achieved before the filming started. It is obviously much better than the previous "Any Attachment" that was very ambitious by Bae Suzy.

Of course, it is still not as good as "War God Zhao Zilong"

"Jing Yuan, do you finally have a script you like?"

In the SM room chief's office, Li Chenghuan looked at Chi Jingyuan who was sitting in front of him, looking for something in his shoulder bag, sitting upright, waiting very curiously.

In the beginning, the company was very ambitious in the arrangement of Chi Jingyuan's actor route. It would carefully read and screen the scripts and role invitations about Chi Jingyuan that were sent to the company. Give him the most exciting and most promising script.

It's a pity that no matter how optimistic they are about the dramas, all the scripts selected by the company were passed by Chi Jingyuan without exception. After a few years, none of them were selected, and the company has nothing to do about it. It’s quite special in SM. Every time he chooses a script, he basically makes up his own mind. In addition, since his debut, every drama has been successful, and the resources of each character are mostly contacted by himself. His personal film and television The resources are even better than the entire company, and SM will let it go in the long run.

And SM is actually a little anxious about Chi Jingyuan, who has been idle for almost a year after "Misheng" and hasn't filmed a movie. Recently, SM has actually started to choose scripts for Chi Jingyuan again. Went together, Li Chenghuan suddenly received a call from the other party just now, he was looking forward to Chi Jingyuan's choice of script this time.

"Signal? It's actually this drama?"

As a result, Lee Seung-hwan was very surprised when he saw the title of the script handed over by the other party. Obviously, he also knew some news about this drama.

"What role?" He immediately raised his head and asked.

"One of the three protagonists, judging from the arrangement and role in the data, it should be considered the male lead."

Chi Jingyuan sat on the chair leaning on the armrest, saw Li Chenghuan's curiosity, and took the initiative to explain: "It was the script that PD Jin Yuanxi offered to me in private a few days ago, let me come back and think about it... I thought about it for two God thinks this drama is very suitable, and the end of the year when the filming is expected to start is not very busy."

"Ah, qingjia, the company of this drama has known about it for a long time, tvN's [-]th anniversary special project, you know how popular the last special project is...so many companies in the circle are more greedy for the characters in it, but this drama The cast selection of the film crew was very purposeful, and it was not disclosed to the public. As a result, many actors had no way to audition... I didn't expect that it was Jin PD who took the initiative to find you. Jing Yuanyou's personal network is really wide enough. I don't know. How many people will be envious if you tell me."

Hearing Chi Jingyuan's extremely relaxed narration, Li Chenghuan looked at the information in front of him and clicked his lips with great emotion. After talking for a while, he finally raised his eyes to confirm: "Have you confirmed that this is the one?"

"Yes, sure."

Nodding, Chi Jingyuan thought for a while, and added: "I will contact Jin PD later, and the crew will probably communicate with the company tomorrow, but according to what Jin PD said, there are still a few more roles left for me. I have not yet fully identified a competitor, so I will arrange an audition in the near future."

"The company remembers to coordinate

"I see, I will follow up immediately tomorrow."

Li Chenghuan nodded solemnly, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan with a smile: "I'm not sure, but I have full confidence in Jing Yuan, this role must be yours!"

"Hope it..."

……

"These days after debut, I'm really tired. I often record programs until midnight, and I have to get up very early the next day."

Chi Jingyuan was sitting in the back row of the nanny's car, holding a mobile phone and texting Zhou Ziyu.

After confirming that he was interested in the drama "Signal", both SM and Kim Won-seok's crew were very efficient. Three days later, on the 27th, a special audition was arranged for Chi Jingyuan. At the same time, he also sent the detailed scripts of the previous episodes to make him ready.

And right now, he is on his way to the audition location, the destination is tvN.
Not long after getting in the car, Chi Jingyuan's phone, who was reading news online, vibrated when he received a text message from Zhou Ziyu.

What makes people feel a little strange is that although twice is a rookie girl group that has just debuted, JYP's management of them on mobile phones is not as strict as most girl groups such as Gfriend, but seems a little loose. It will be confiscated and not allowed to be used during the event, but there is no special prohibition when it is like a rest room in private outside of the running schedule.

During this period of time, when Chi Jingyuan was bored, he took a few glances at twice's live broadcast on the V APP. Several of the shows were played in the day after tomorrow lounge of the song playing show. During the live broadcast, he saw several members of Rabbit Gas at a glance. Sitting there playing with their mobile phones, except for the live broadcast members who put on makeup, everyone else basically has one.

Why is JYP so good...

At first, I thought Zhou Ziyu and the others could not be contacted for quite a while because of the management of the company, but I didn’t expect that on the third day of their debut, that is, the night when they recorded "Music Bank", Chi Jingyuan received venting and questioning from the other party. SMS.

Maybe it was because of Chi Jingyuan's comments on her look in the backstage in the afternoon, or maybe it was because of other reasons, anyway, it made the girl angry, and after a while of 'disgusting', she started a unilateral cold war, okay? I haven't said a word to him for a few days, and he looks really angry.

However, according to Chi Jingyuan's understanding of her, Zhou Ziyu's anger with him never lasts too long. Sure enough, the girl seemed to have lost her anger just now, and sent a message as if nothing had happened Come to complain and seek comfort at the same time.

According to what she said, Twice’s schedule after their debut is almost full. All kinds of song shows, signing parties, variety shows, and radio stations are one after another. JYP even arranged a lot of campus raid performances for them. In order to accumulate popularity and popularity, he is willing to go to stages of various schools, no matter how small, and has basically never rested since his debut.

Although they are still very excited about their debut, and at the same time they are willing to work hard and run hard in order to increase the popularity of the group. Every schedule, every stage has shown their best appearance to take it seriously, but Zhou Ziyu is so tired from continuous rotation. , and other members can't help but have some small complaints in private.

"So do you have a lot of acne?"

"No!"

"It's like this for newcomers. You have done well in your debut, so you have a lot of schedules while the iron is hot. At this time, almost every stage is improving your popularity. Others are not envious."

After the ridicule, Chi Jingyuan sent a more sensible message, but after thinking about it, he added: "If you feel that you don't have enough sleep and are very tired, you should learn to catch up on your own sleep and rest in the middle of the trip, and play less on your mobile phone...for example Say now."

These are all talks from experience, but Zhou Ziyu seemed to have not realized it at all, and then sent a few more:

"We went to Jeju Island the day before yesterday because of the "Inkigayo" special. We went out and walked around in the middle. Wow, the wind is really strong over there. By the way, we were broadcasting live at that time, did you watch it?"

"No."

"(lip curls)...I sang at the signing party yesterday, guess what I sang? (wink)"

"Beauty Trap?"

Chi Jingyuan probably won't forget Zhou Ziyu's wonderful performance on the first stage of "sixteen" in a few years.

"You... I sang "The Important Person" by Princess Seven, have you heard it? I practiced it for a long time."

"Why don't you sing "Beauty Trap"?"

"You, why are you so annoying, I won't tell you (angry)."

"Ha ha……"

Seeing the last reply that was obviously irritated, Chi Jingyuan couldn't hold back his laughter in the car.

Although this little girl made her debut, but because she hasn't had much contact with her for a long time, and she hasn't matured much, she still can't stand being teased in front of him as before.

This time I don't know how many days I will be angry again.

two days...

Smiling and shaking his head, Chi Jingyuan glanced at the endlessly flowing road outside the car window, put his phone back, picked up the "signal" material that was placed beside him, and flipped through it again.

According to what I have learned and heard, the role of 'Park Hae Young', one of the three protagonists he is currently fighting for, is currently the most competitive besides him, is Lee Je Hoon, and the other Lee Jong Suk is said to be due to various reasons, The odds of success are slim.

So Li Dixun is now Chi Jingyuan's biggest competitor.

So Chi Jingyuan asked Park Jae-hyun to look for some information about Li Dixun and his agency.

Although Li Dixun is an outstanding young actor with good acting skills, he has not had outstanding works in recent years, and he is not very eye-catching among the rising stars.

He took the last work before enlisting in the army in 2012. The ratings and word-of-mouth of "Fashion King", which he collaborated with Kwon Yuri, were relatively mediocre. After retiring from the army, he was the first and only TV series "Secret Door" to be filmed. Although it was on SBS last year It won many awards in the acting awards, but in fact the average audience rating is only [-]%, not as high as "Music Bank", and the external evaluation is also very low. It can be said that it was a TV series that failed.

And Chi Jingyuan's "Wei Sheng" was a big hit last year. A drama also produced two Shidi candidates and had great social influence. At the same time, it also gave Chi Jingyuan a good reputation on tvN.

So in recent years, Li Dixun and Chi Jingyuan's achievements in TV dramas are far behind.

And Lee Je-hoon has not had much success in the past two years in the movies that he is mainly active in. Bae Suzy has taken the biggest advantage of "Introduction to Architecture" before enlisting in the army. After retiring from the army, the two films he filmed each had a box office of 20. With a talent of 170 million, the former is doing badly, while the latter is just so-so, neither of which is considered good.

In the competition for roles, his biggest advantage is that he has cooperated with Zhao Zhenxiong in the last two films, and the two have a good relationship and cooperate well. The writer Kim Eun-hee is more optimistic about him.

Other than that there is nothing.

The former doesn't really matter, but the attitude of the writer of the latter is still very important.

However, after contacting Jin Yuanxi again, Chi Jingyuan felt that the pressure of this role competition was not too great.

Because Kim Won-seok's attitude is very confident, saying that although Kim Eun-hee is optimistic about Lee Je-hoon, he just thinks his appearance and acting skills are more suitable for this role, and his attitude is not very firm, and Kim Eun-hee actually has a new appreciation for Ji Jingyuan Yes, I think he is also very suitable.

So with the support of the director and tvN, as long as there are no major problems in the audition, it should be OK.It made Chi Jingyuan not even need to find some related contacts.

When it was TV day, Chi Jingyuan went upstairs to the designated room directly under the guidance of the staff.

The size of the room is small, with four transparent stools placed on one side, a small table and their respective nameplates in front, and a white wall facing a stool in front, which is obviously a swimming pool. The location of the source.

He was the only actor who came today, and it was a solo audition.

"Jing Yuan is here."

After a while, several people walked into the room one after another. Jin Yuanxi, the leader, greeted Chi Jingyuan after seeing Chi Jingyuan. He didn't shy away from the acquaintance between the two, and after sitting down, he began to introduce the few people next to him. .

In addition to PD Kim Won-seok, writer Kim Eun-hee, production company representative Lee Sang-bae, and tvN producer Lee Chan-ho.

The two people in it are Chi Jingyuan who are relatively familiar. Besides Kim Won-seok, he also knows Li Canhao. He was also one of the producers when filming "Unborn" last year. He has met many times. I didn't expect this "Signal" He is also a producer.

It's not a coincidence.

Needless to say, the two main creators of the film crew knew each other. Kim Eun Hee and Lee Sang Bae also had a good attitude towards Ji Jingyuan. The angry segment made him try to act.

Although it is said that in the casting of Peninsula TV dramas, the relationship behind the scenes and the activities of the brokerage company account for the largest proportion, but the acting skills of the actors are actually very important factors. Although acting skills are very subjective, everyone has their own opinions. , but whether the performance is good or bad, how well the role is interpreted is actually a relatively uniform standard.

In fact, the roles and actors are well suited. Some roles are played by another person, and it really has a completely different flavor.

For example, Kim Hye Soo, although her acting skills are great and her status is high, but you played "Love Rain" for her, did she perform well?
It's not about Senior Yun'er.

The audition is very important for the main creative team of TV dramas to choose actors. Through the audition, they can see whether the actor’s reaction is clear and true, how they respond to the script and the role, judge whether the actor is suitable for the role, and observe The creativity of the actors and the breadth of performances.

Chi Jingyuan naturally attached great importance to this audition. He had already made a lot of preparations in the past few days. After a short period of preparation, he began to perform.

To be honest, even though Chi Kyung-won has filmed several popular TV series and his acting skills are widely praised in the circle, but to be honest, the role of Park Hae-young is really a big challenge.

Because judging from the few episodes of the script he got, the character of the male protagonist has not been fully developed, and the shaping of the character image is not very deep, and there are a lot of Park Hae-young in the script, who is extremely anxious because of emergencies, Anxious plot.

If the interpretation is not good, it is easy to make Park Hae Young's anxious expression and scene look the same every time, every time it is "the situation is urgent now, listen to me, shut up, it's too late, tell you to listen to me", Make this image appear too thin to stand up.

In fact, Chi Jingyuan is not particularly satisfied with some of the setting of Park Hae-young as the male lead, he has his own ideas about some plots and shaping and wants to communicate with the writer.

But this is all after the formal signing of the contract.

After performing several episodes in a row, several main creators stopped Chi Jingyuan, made eye contact, discussed in a low voice, and then gave their evaluation.

Several people's comments did not praise him too much, but found some shortcomings and deficiencies in his performance just now.However, Chi Jingyuan could tell that the writer Jin Enxi's eyes had warmed up a lot, so he should be quite satisfied.

"Jing Yuanxi and I have worked together in "Wei Sheng" last year, and I know his strength."

After discussing for a while, Li Canhao took the initiative to express his opinion. Although he didn't say it clearly, his attitude of preference was very obvious. .

"The role of Park Hae-young requires a lot of control from the actors. When the other two protagonists choose powerful actors, it is easy for Park Hae-in's image to be set off weak, and because there are certain requirements for age and appearance. .So the choice of actors is actually not too much..."

After exchanging opinions left and right, Li Sang-bae nodded and said: "Chi Jingyuan's performance just now was not very eye-catching, but the smell came out. I think it looks like Park Hae-young's feeling, which is very good... In this way, after a few days Let’s do another audition with makeup someday, let a few people try it out, and then we’ll make a decision.”

The filming of this drama is expected to start in December, and there is still more than a month of sufficient preparation time. It can be seen that the crew is very careful in the choice of characters, and Kim Hye-soo and Zhao Zhenxiong have not yet signed a contract, so today I will No decision was made on the spot.

But judging from the expressions of these four main creators and the attitude they showed just now, it should be almost the same.

Jin Yuanxi also agreed with this. He looked at Chi Jingyuan with a smile: "If you wear makeup or play an official role, Park Hae-young needs to cut her hair because she is a policeman. It is best to have short hair. Is there no problem?"

Chi Jingyuan's hair is now medium-length, which is not very long in idols, but it is a bit inappropriate to play a policeman.

"of course."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan burst out laughing, shaking his bangs on his forehead, his expression looked expectant: "Actually, I've wanted to cut my hair short for a long time."

……

After the audition, Chi Jingyuan received a call from Kim Won-seok. According to this brother, today’s audition was actually quite good. Apart from the two people who supported Chi Jingyuan in the first place, the writer Kim Eun-hee also felt that he was very suitable. Park Hae Young's attitude has obviously changed in private.

Jin Yuanxi hinted that Chi Jingyuan is basically fine, and he should be able to confirm it after the next audition.

And he also knows that Park Hae Young is not easy to act, and he also said that some plots may be added to make this character more plump.

With the director's guarantee, Chi Jingyuan was relieved a lot, and he quickly expressed his thanks before hanging up the phone.

Although the role is mostly confirmed, the next audition with makeup still needs to be carefully prepared, but the next audition may have to wait for a while, according to Kim Won-seok, it should wait for the other two roles, That is, after Zhao Zhenxiong and Kim Hye-soo signed the contract, the audition began.

This schedule is actually just right for Chi Jingyuan, because EXO will be very busy these days. In addition to several consecutive concerts at the end of the month and early November, they will also release an album in Neon for their official debut , It’s almost time to return to Seoul after a bunch of activities.

Back at the dormitory at night, a few members were chatting on the sofa in the living room. After seeing Chi Jingyuan coming back, he said hello, and then someone asked curiously:

"Jing Yuan, who are you going to cosplay for Halloween party?"
