Chapter 45 The Dramatic Lim Yoona
Chapter 45 The Dramatic Lim Yoona
"So, what does Yoona-ssi want with me?"
After the brief gift-giving incident, Chen Ran brought the topic back to the present.
"Oh, I wanted to ask about Chen Ran's script."
In matters of official business, Im Yoon-a didn't mince words and stated directly:
"Isn't Chen Ran's script about to start filming? I wanted to ask if there's a suitable role for me in the script? Could I get an audition opportunity?"
Chen Ran wasn't surprised that Lin Yoona asked about the script. He thought for a moment and replied:
"My drama has six main characters: two teachers and four students. Two of them are female students, but neither of them are very suitable for Yoona to play."
Needless to say, the two teacher roles in the drama "School 2013" are not suitable for actresses of Yoona's age.
The remaining two female students, the first of whom is the second female lead Song Xiajing, is a character who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
As the visual center of Girls' Generation, Yoona has a lively and energetic image and enjoys high popularity among the public.
In this situation, if the acting is not good enough, the audience will be at great risk of being distracted from the story.
In contrast, Krystal Jung, who, like her sister Jessica Jung, is known as an "ice queen," is more suitable for this role.
She has the same cold exterior but warm interior, and she's also in high school, so it's a natural fit for her.
Krystal Jung is indeed quite talented in acting.
That's why Chen Ran agreed when Jessica Jung suggested giving Krystal Jung an audition opportunity.
As for the third female lead, Li Jiangzhu, she has a tomboyish persona, which is even less compatible with Lin Yoona's public image.
And even if Yoona is willing to act in it, would SM Entertainment allow it?
Lim Yoon-a won the Best New Actress and Popular Actress awards in the TV category at the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards for her role as Se-bi.
This is a pretty high starting point; he's currently the actor with the highest starting point under SM Entertainment.
With such a starting point, how could SM possibly let her play the third female lead in a script written by a newcomer screenwriter like Chen Ran, who has no prior achievements?
Wouldn't that be lowering one's status and prestige?
Across from her, after listening to Chen Ran's introduction, Lin Yoona understood that there was indeed no suitable role for her in Chen Ran's script.
The only barely suitable role was the one that Krystal Jung was planning to audition for.
She's not even considering it; it's hard to say whether the company will agree.
If it's the female lead role and the character suits her, she might still try to get it.
"Well, it seems I won't have the chance to act in Chen Ran's script this time."
Yoona sighed slightly, then immediately smiled and said, "But if Chen Ran has any suitable roles in the future, you can consider me."
"Okay, I will."
Chen Ran nodded, then suddenly remembered something. He hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"If Yoona wants to go further in her acting career, I personally suggest that she should prioritize the quality of the script."
"Huh?" Im Yoona was a little confused.
"I also watched the drama you acted in before, 'Love Rain.' To be honest, the plot was too melodramatic and clichéd, and the script quality was worrying."
Chen Ran had actually watched not only "Love Rain," but also "Prime Minister and I," a drama starring Lim Yoon-a that will be airing next year, on Jessica's phone.
It's also a clichéd and melodramatic soap opera, even worse than "Love Rain".
This drama is actually about the love story between a prime minister who raises three children on his own and a young stepmother.
Just reading the synopsis, you can feel the strong smell of melodrama hitting you.
The male lead is 20 years older than Lim Yoon-a.
The fact that she could still portray a sense of love in this way proves, to some extent, that Yoona's acting skills are not as bad as people imagine.
Hahahaha
Hearing Chen Ran's words, Lin Yoona couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After laughing, he couldn't help but smile wryly:
"Actually, I also think the script wasn't very good, but there's nothing I can do. I'm an idol, and idols have very limited access to actor resources."
"Most of the time, we don't have a choice. We just act in whatever scripts the company brings us. It's better to have roles than no roles at all."
Everyone wants a good script, but good scripts are scarce. Even when a good script is available, it's usually consumed within the acting circle. Who would think about their idol?
The reason why screenwriters have such a high status in the film and television industry is because good scripts are scarce. All actors rely on screenwriters for their livelihood.
Chen Ran was speechless for a moment.
He hadn't considered this practical issue.
At this moment, Lim Yoona smiled and said, "That's why I shamelessly came to you today. I just wanted a good role, but unfortunately, it's not suitable."
She clasped her hands together, her face pleading: "Please, if you ever find a good role that suits me, you must consider me."
Chen Ran was amused by her somewhat quirky appearance: "Sika said you're very serious in front of people you don't know well, but I don't think so."
The "Jessica" he's referring to is Jessica, not Jessica Jung from 12.
But Lim Yoona thought Chen Ran was talking about Jessica Jung, blinked her doe-like eyes, and said:
"I do act very serious in front of people I don't know well, but Jessica told me you're a nice person, and we were born on the same day, month, and year, so I wasn't so reserved."
After discussing the script, she was trying to figure out how to steer the conversation towards Jessica Jung when Chen Ran brought it up first.
good chance!
Lim Yoona picked up her iced Americano, took a sip, and after a moment, prepared to continue the conversation with Chen Ran about Jessica Jung.
This was also her second purpose in arranging to meet Chen Ran today.
She put down her coffee and was about to speak when her pupils suddenly contracted, and she froze for a moment.
I suddenly feel a soreness and pain in my lower abdomen...
Oops!
No way, why did they have to come at this time of year?!
The next second, a sudden warm current and a feeling of falling swept over her, shattering Lin Yoona's last shred of hope.
Oh no, my period, that uninvited guest, has really arrived...
Idols often need to perform on stage, so they often take medication to delay their periods.
This results in their periods being largely irregular; they themselves are not even sure when their periods will come.
But this shouldn't be the time! Chen Ran is still sitting across from us!
Has the stain already gotten on my pants? It'll be inconvenient to go to the bathroom like this.
Yoona is being a bit dramatic.
This was the first time she had encountered something like this while meeting a man in public.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Ran noticed Lin Yoona's unusual behavior and asked her in confusion.
"Uh...it's nothing." Im Yoona quickly forced a smile, trying to act as if nothing had happened.
Chen Ran noticed her hand pressing on her lower abdomen, and recalling her dazed expression earlier, he quickly came up with a possibility.
He realized what was happening, took off his shirt jacket, and handed it over.
"Tie this around your waist before you go to the bathroom."
Im Yoon-ah's pupils dilated slightly, and her lips unconsciously parted slightly.
He actually figured it out!
Looking at the shirt jacket handed to her, she hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out to take it.
"Thanks."
"fine."
Chen Ran replied, then suddenly remembered something else: "Did you bring that?"
Upon hearing this, Lim Yoona pursed her lips, feeling inexplicably ashamed, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"I brought it."
She replied softly, then quickly tied Chen Ran's coat around her waist, put on her mask, and got up to walk briskly out of the private room.
Just as I closed the door to the private room and turned around, a figure passed by.
Im Yoona was stunned.
"Unnie?!"
