Chapter 51 Is your back door as big as mine?
Because Chen Ran is a new screenwriter, most of the actors who came to audition were also newcomers.
Only new people are likely to be selected.
In scripts written by seasoned screenwriters, the main roles have already been taken by well-known actors, so there's no chance for newcomers.
What if I can get a good role in this drama, and the drama does well after it airs?
There are quite a few examples of people becoming famous overnight in the entertainment industry.
So the actors waiting in the corridor received their audition materials and immediately began preparing.
The atmosphere in the entire corridor instantly became tense, and in several places, scenes of fake friendships and sibling rivalry even began to unfold.
"Excellent! How do you think it would be better to express this?"
"Oh, I don't know. Figure it out yourself, don't bother me."
"Min-ji, should I have let my emotions run wild a bit when I said that line?"
The girl called Minzhi turned slightly to the side, looking intently at the lines on the paper, as if she hadn't heard her friends who had just been encouraging each other.
...
The only one who wasn't nervous was probably Krystal Jung.
She glanced at the audition materials after receiving them.
These were all contents from the first three episodes of the script, which she had thoroughly read.
In addition to the script content of the first three episodes, she also knew the story outline, character settings, and the relationships between several main characters.
She has a deeper understanding of the character than others.
The girl even had the leisure to watch the two fake best friends next to her for a while, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in her beautiful eyes, and she almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
These were the same people who had just looked at me with resentment and occasionally made sarcastic remarks.
I never expected that we'd turn into our own people fighting each other. Tsk.
However, Krystal Jung quickly put aside her spectator mentality and seriously looked at the audition content, thinking about how to act more convincingly.
She has such a huge advantage, she absolutely cannot mess it up; her pride will not allow that to happen.
About ten minutes later, a staff member came out of the conference room and called out:
"The audition for the role of Go Nam-soon has begun. First up is Lee Seon-jae."
"exist."
A tall boy on the left immediately responded, then took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and followed the staff into the conference room.
A few minutes later, the man walked out of the conference room looking rather dejected.
My friend, who was with me, came up and asked, "How was it?"
The boy shook his head with a wry smile: "That screenwriter was so serious during the interview. When our eyes met, I instantly froze and forgot my lines. I guess I have no chance."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room who had been quietly listening blinked.
Recalling Chen Ran's smiling and nodding manner towards them just now, and combining it with what the boy had said,
It seems this screenwriter is the kind of person whose private life and work life are completely different.
Krystal blinked, and couldn't help but imagine Chen Ran's serious expression.
Hmm... he's just a handsome guy with a cold face.
It should be similar to how I usually appear in public.
For some reason, she didn't feel much of a sense of unfamiliarity with Chen Ran.
Perhaps it's because I've heard it so many times from Jessica Jung.
Yes, they're one of our own.
The auditions continued.
One actor after another went in, and most of them came out looking rather unwell.
The atmosphere in the corridor grew increasingly tense.
Just then, two people, a man and a woman, walked quickly from the other side of the corridor.
Standing next to Krystal Jung, her manager Choi Myung-ho narrowed his eyes upon seeing the two of them, leaned close to Krystal's ear, and whispered:
"It's Park Se-young and her manager. She's also here to audition for the role of Song Ha-jung."
Krystal Jung raised her eyebrows slightly and looked over.
So they were competitors.
He's only arriving now; anyone who didn't know better would think he was some big-name actor.
Choi Myung-ho continued, "Park Se-young is a rookie who just debuted in January of this year, but she has very good resources and has already starred in two dramas."
"She also starred in Yoona's 'Love Rain,' and just a few days ago it was officially announced that she would be starring in 'Faith,' which stars Lee Min-ho and Kim Hee-sun. She is a newcomer that her agency is heavily promoting."
"It is said that she was recommended to the production team by her agency through connections with the TV station, and she has a high probability of being selected."
Upon hearing this, Krystal Jung frowned, her heart sinking slightly.
But she quickly adjusted her mindset again.
So what if an actress is promoted through connections with TV stations by her agency? She was directly invited by Chen Ran.
Everyone got in through connections. As long as her acting skills are just as good as others, in the end it all comes down to who has the strongest backing.
Is Park Se-young's back door as big as his own?
Across from them, Park Se-young and her manager, who were walking over, also noticed Jung Soo-jung and Choi Myung-ho.
The manager also leaned close to Park Se-young's ear and reminded him, "The person opposite is Jung Soo-jung from SM Entertainment. It's said that the screenwriter of this drama personally invited her to audition for the role of Song Ha-jung."
Park Se-young frowned almost imperceptibly upon hearing this.
It turns out the screenwriter personally invited him.
She looked at Krystal Jung, and Krystal Jung looked at her in return.
Their eyes met in mid-air, they nodded slightly to each other as a greeting, and then looked away from each other.
An atmosphere of subtle tension and rivalry quietly took shape between the two.
The meeting room door opened, and Lee Jong-seok, who had been called in earlier, came out with a good expression, indicating that he had performed well.
He nodded to Krystal Jung and made a thumbs-up gesture: "Good luck, I'm off now."
Krystal Jung returned a smile, then glanced at Park Se-young, who had replaced Lee Jong-suk and was standing opposite her. She didn't say anything and continued to look at the audition materials.
In the conference room.
Chen Ran was looking down and making notes on Li Zhongshuo's resume.
Suddenly, the television station representative, Producer Jiang, who had been mostly silent, spoke up:
"Chen Ran, the next audition is for the second female lead, Song Xiajing. The first one to audition is Park Se-young, who is a junior of mine. I hope you can take care of her later."
Chen Ran raised an eyebrow, understanding his unspoken meaning.
This actress came through my connections. If there are no problems, let's cast her.
Chen Ran smiled, narrowing his eyes: "Okay, I understand."
Producer Jiang smiled and said, "Thank you, Chen Ran."
Li Yingfu, who was standing nearby, overheard their conversation. His pen, which was writing, paused slightly before he immediately resumed writing.
Chen Ran flipped to the next resume, and sure enough, it was Park Se-young's information.
Born in 1988, she just debuted this January and has experience playing supporting roles in two dramas.
Born in 88, which means he's 26 years old this year. At this age, he's playing a high school student.
However, we'll have to see his performance first to know for sure.
Chen Ran tapped the resume twice with the cap of his pen, then looked up at the staff member in charge of calling people.
"The audition for the role of Song Ha-jung has begun. Let Park Se-young come in."
"OK."
The staff member walked to the conference room door and opened it.
"The audition for the role of Song Ha-jung has begun. Please come in, Park Se-young."
"OK."
Park Se-young responded, took a deep breath, straightened his hair and clothes, and walked into the conference room.
Across from her, Krystal looked up at her back, then lowered her eyes slightly and continued looking at the audition materials.
A few minutes later, the door opened again, but Park Se-young did not come out; instead, the same staff member appeared.
He looked at Krystal Jung: "Krystal Jung, please come in."
what?
Krystal Jung was slightly taken aback.
Should I go in? But Park Se-young hasn't come out yet.
Despite her doubts, she quickly tidied her hair and clothes and walked into the conference room.
