Chapter 43: Trial by Mirror

。Then it’s settled, draft up the invitations and contracts and send them to **. 。"Li Minghan was swift and decisive, immediately arranging, “Ya Zhen, are you serious about adding more scenes for the m..."Anihaseyo"

Chi Jingyuan walked into the office and bowed to the people sitting inside. 。This is in the office of the

production team for the drama "Reply 1997," where Park Bo Gum came to audition for the male lead.

Whether it's Park Bo Gum or the production team of "Reply 1997," they are both very efficient. Once an intention is made, a meeting is immediately arranged. 。At this time, several key figures from the crew were seated in the office, including Li Minghan, director Shen Yuanhao, and screenwriter Li Youzhen. 。After Pool Jingyuan entered the office, everyone stared at him for a while and nodded lightly. The writer Li Youzhen's eyes lit up obviously, and an obvious look of admiration appeared on her face. 。"Jingyuan, originally the crew audition was supposed to be in a more formal setting, with cameras filming and more participants." 。Li Minghan nodded to Ji Jingyuan with a smile and said, "But since you were introduced by a senior, some steps can be skipped. Let's just take a look at it together." 。”

Inside, Kang Sang-mi... 。"Chi Jingyuan bowed again." 。Several crew heads nodded in agreement, seeming quite satisfied with Ji-seong. 。Then let's get started, introduce yourselves first, don't be nervous, just relax. 。Li Minghan gestured for the fitting to begin. 。"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm the maknae of EXO, Park Ji-sung. I'm 19 years old this year and debuted as an idol in April of this year." 。"Chi Jingyuan made a simple introduction of himself." 。"Are you nineteen years old Have you taken the college entrance exam" Shen Yuanhao asked. 。

“Last year, I took the college entrance exam and was successfully admitted to Yan University. Because of my debut, I took a year off and am currently on leave from school.”

"Pool view point nodded.

"Hmm" 。A few people glanced at each other and nodded involuntarily. 。"Has Jingyuan never acted before" the writer Li Youzhen asked with a smile. 。"This is my first time trying out for a TV drama, I've only acted in short films and shot some commercials before. 。"Haha, I saw the advertisement you made. It was very well done." 。“Li Youzhen smiled, showing her teeth, and her words already had a clear bias.” 。How about the Busan dialect The amount of dialect in our drama's dialogue is quite significant. 。"Shen Yuanhao asked," 。

"I didn't speak Busan dialect before, but after I had the idea of auditioning, I immediately found a teacher to guide me, and I'm practicing now."

Then recite this line. 。Shen Yuanhao took out the script and pointed at a line, handing it to Chi Jingyuan. 。Chi Jingyuan took it in both hands, glanced at the script, silently recited the lines in his heart, brewed for a while, and then said in a fierce voice: "If you have the ability, come and kill me! Let's die together!""Hee hee…" Everyone laughed, then lightly clapped and nodded. 。"Well, it's not very accurate, but it has that flavor. Just starting out"Shin Won-ho asked in surprise, and after receiving confirmation, he shook his head and sighed: "You really are a language genius." 。"If they asked you to cut your hair short for a role, would you have any concerns" Li Youzhen observed for a moment, looking at Chi Jingyuan's face and asking. 。"No, for the role, I can accept any hairstyle, no matter how short." 。

"Pool Jingyuan answered without hesitation," 。Only an idiot would say they can't accept it. 。"Jia As an idol, you should often go on stage, right Won't that be an influence" "Ani, I can go on stage wearing a hat. It feels like it would look better than my current hairstyle." 。 。"Ha…" Another burst of laughter 。"Haha, that's not quite true. It won't be that short." 。"Li Youzhen shook her head and explained:"Originally, we designed the male lead's hairstyle to be quite long, with bangs that would cover his forehead completely" 。But if it were Jingyuan, I think short hair would still look better. Especially the forehead shouldn't be completely covered, your aura is really amazing. 。"Oh my goodness, this appearance and charisma are truly the male lead I've always dreamed of! If it were Jingyuan, I think his role could be expanded a bit. After all, such an excellent physique shouldn't go to waste." 。Li Youzhen has stated her position, and compared to the previous candidates, she believes that Chi Jingyuan is perfect. 。Then he asked a few more questions, and Chi Jingyuan answered them fluently. 。It seems that everyone on the crew is pretty happy, whether it's their looks or other qualities, they are truly a great fit. 。For this crew of newcomers, who were underestimated by everyone, Park Kyung-won's looks were already top-tier. 。

"Jingyuan, this is your first audition, why aren't you nervous at all"

Shin Won Ho asked curiously.

"Oh my, actually I'm very nervous, I can barely stand. 。“Chi Jingyuan immediately shook his head, covering his chest, putting on a strained appearance.” 。"Oh, this kid…" Shin Won-ho chuckled and shook his head. 。"Well, you guys from Jingyuan should go back first. We'll discuss this and get back to you soon." 。"Finally, Li Minghan summarized. He stood up, smiled and walked to Chi Jingyuan's side, patting his shoulder and instructing him, “There shouldn’t be any problems. After going back, do more preparation, and you still need to practice Busan dialect more.” 。It doesn't explicitly state it, but it basically already announced the outcome. 。Thank you all, 。"Ji Jingyuan smiled and bowed as he took his leave. 。Everyone nodded and waved, all very enthusiastic. 。After Chi Jingyuan bid farewell, Li Minghan let out a long sigh of relief and turned to look at the few people from Tree House who had jumped ship with him. He smiled and said: "How do you feel" 。"Since you've already said that to them, why are you asking our opinion" Shin Won-ho looked displeased. 。His expression held for a second before cracking, he grinned and shook his head continuously: "Oh my gosh, the quality is simply excellent. Both appearance and temperament are top-notch, much better than the other candidates. I have no objections." 。"He's said to still be an idol group member This aura doesn't look like that of an Idol at all," "Yeah, this definitely isn't something someone raised in an ordinary family would cultivate." 。Several people expressed their opinions. 。Although he has no acting experience and his Busan dialect still needs practice, his good looks are enough to overcome these shortcomings. 。“And with our budget, it was hard to find an actor who met the requirements and had proven acting skills. Park Jung-min is already the best we could get.” 。A chorus of voices chimed in, and soon a consensus was reached. 。The casting for the lead role could be delayed no longer, and Chi Jingyuan's appearance and his displayed qualities truly left them speechless. 。Then it’s settled, draft up the invitations and contracts and send them to **. 。"Li Minghan was swift and decisive, immediately arranging, “Ya Zhen, are you serious about adding more scenes for the male lead”

“Yes, PD, I think with Jingyuan's excellent appearance, some of the original script’s plot and characterization seem inappropriate, and need to be modified." 。"And I think adding more weight to the male protagonist's role would make the entire plot more appealing. " 。"Then let's do that, actually I think so too" 。"Li Minghan nodded in agreement and said, “In my experience, even I feel good about him. This kid must have a great face for the audience.” 。"The male lead has been decided, just the female lead Cheng Shiyuan is left. Are there any audition candidates" "Yes, she's also an idol group member and we have scheduled her for an audition the day after tomorrow." 。"

"Another idol"
