Chapter 419 – Audition (2)
There were more people waiting at the audition hall than expected.
Seo Joo-hwan looked around at the people with eyes of surprise and took a seat to one side.
‘I thought there wouldn’t be many applicants.’
He was told that there were no good actors to cast because of several factors. However, at first glance, there are more than ten applicants. For a closed audition, this is a considerable number of people.
‘Even some of them are pretty familiar faces.’
There were also a few well-known actors.
[It doesn’t mean that there are no applicants, but it must mean that there are no actors who are worthy of the director’s eyes.]
‘I guess so. Well, it’s director Min Seon-ha’s work, so there’s no way there won’t be applicants.’
No matter how great Min Seon-ha is, he is called a director of half-and-half of side dishes, but he is a director who has filmed 10 million viewers. So, even if this work had a high probability of failing, there were plenty of reasons to apply. For unknown actors, even if the movie fails, it would be meaningful if they could only get a face stamp.
‘Well. Could I fail the audition?’
[It can’t be! Master, don’t be nervous. If it’s Master, you’ll be able to pass at once!]
Lucy cheered. It was a meaningless thought, but it seemed like he was nervous. Seo Joo-hwan smiled and thanked Lucy.
‘Yes, my Lucy is cheering me on, so of course I passed.’
As I was chatting with Lucy in that way, I suddenly felt eyes from around me. He heard a voice from not far away.
“Isn’t that person Seo Joo-hwan?”
One of the applicants recognized him.
Another applicant turned to the muttered person.
“Is that person famous?”
“I am a web novel writer. I am also a YouTuber.”
“Yes? Aren’t you an actor?”
“I don’t think it has anything to do with acting.”
“Why is such a person here?”
“I don’t know. Seeing you here, it looks like you’re here for an audition… Could it be that it is true?”
The applicant who was speaking frowned. When the applicant next to him made a puzzled expression, he lowered his voice and whispered.
“That person had a scandal with actress Lee Chae-hee not too long ago.”
“Ah……!”
“Ha. I wonder if React has already plugged it in?”
“Because of the scandal? Actor Lee Chae-hee posted it on Byeol Star that he wasn’t himself…….”
“The scandal may be false, but it is true that there is a friendship. Otherwise, why would someone who used to write web novels be here? Are you trying to stick with your acting skills?”
“Then…”
The voices of the two were not loud, but a significant number of applicants were already listening. And the man’s reasoning sounded quite plausible.
Naturally, the eyes of the applicants gathered on Seo Ju-hwan.
‘The successful candidate has been tentatively appointed?’
‘The director is Min Seon-ha, but the nominee… ?’
‘If it’s Lee Chae-hee’s connections, maybe it’s possible…….’
‘Tsk. What bullshit is that bastard talking about? There’s no way that actress Lee Chae-hee would pick someone who doesn’t have any skills for the role.’
‘Hul, this is the real Seohwan. Can’t I ask for his autograph right now?
‘He was handsome. But do they all learn to be handsome? It should be smoke.’
There was subtle hostility in the eyes of the applicants looking at Seo Joo-hwan. In the meantime, there was a fan’s eyes shining brightly, but Seo Joo-hwan did not see it.
‘Let’s remember the script.’
He ignored people’s attention and fixed his eyes on the script. It was ridiculous for him to explain everything one by one.
[You became a public enemy in an instant.]
‘I know. It doesn’t really matter.’
[You are calm. I thought the owner would care about the successful candidates.]
‘Well… Lucy, can I tell you something interesting? The person I just mentioned is the original passer.’
Seo Joo-hwan glanced at the man who spoke first. It was a face I remembered. Jukyung Kim. This is the actor who played the role of the ‘murderer’ in this movie before returning.
‘Maybe he was heavily criticized for his acting skills, right?’
The man had decent acting skills, but compared to Lee Chae-hee, his relatively lacking skills were highlighted. He remembers that in the end he was evaluated as the only flaw in his work.
‘Still, his basic skills were fine, so he became quite famous later.’
[Anyway, it’s good enough to pass the audition.]
‘Okay. But he’s not the one who will help Chae-hee noona. If the casting didn’t work out, there wouldn’t have been a chance for him to be chosen.’
Miss casting. If it wasn’t for that, ‘Stalker’ before the return would have hit the jackpot. The directing and sound were so well done. The acting skills of the other actors were also great.
However, the evaluation of the movie fell due to the actor’s lack of ability to lead the first half. Should I say that the box office performance is average? Although the break-even point was long overdue, it was the only one in the career of Min Seon-ha, who is called a half-half writer, to record ambiguous results.
But this time…….
It was when Seo Joo-hwan tried to focus on the script again, recalling the contents of the quest in his heart. Lucy asked in a puzzled voice.
[Does the owner hate that man?]
‘Yes? Why is that all of a sudden?’
[Oddly, I think you have a sharp edge when referring to that man. I also did this guy and that guy.]
‘Ah.’
Seo Joo-hwan nodded his head. Knowing the future, my tone went out without my knowledge.
‘He’s not the one who did me any harm… That guy will go to hell later. By drunk driving.’
Did you hit someone in an unpopulated place? Changing the driver’s seat, rather than agreeing and moving on quietly, rather than doing tricks, things got bigger.
‘Maybe that’s why I don’t feel particularly guilty.’
There is something to know about whether drunk driving and attempted murder pass or not.
Seo Joo-hwan snorted and focused on the script.
And after a while
– We’ll start in 10 minutes! Please enter in the order your name is called!
The audition has begun.
*
Director Min Seon-ha, who is called a half-half director.
She didn’t like her nickname her.
‘It’s not even chicken, what is half and half? Is that a nickname you would give to a director who made a movie with 10 million viewers?’
It’s not a good nickname to hear even if you think about cancer. I shot four movies that could be called jackpots, but isn’t it too much?
‘Of course, there are times when it goes bankrupt, but…….’
There are three works that are so badly ruined that even critics question whether they were really shot by the same director. I couldn’t understand how it was possible to repeat the rise and fall while filming seven films. Because of that, the investors gradually hit the jackpot, and then tried to save themselves from the work.
‘Ah, jinx.’
The damned jinx came again this time without fail. It was a hit in the previous work, but this time it was twisted from the casting.
‘Suddenly drug distribution makes sense! He had a perfect image, but he really has a problem!’
I let out a silent clamor of people’s choice. I couldn’t shake off this guy’s jinx. I even went through a private audition in order to somehow wash away the nickname of being a half-half director, but I couldn’t find a usable actor at all.
Then her bald middle-aged man, who was sitting next to her, turned to her and whispered to her:
“Director Min, next order.”
Min Seon-ha inadvertently tried to cover her nose of hers, but she smiled. The bald middle-aged man belonged to an investment company.
‘Ah, bad breath.’
Bald is fine. Because it can’t be done with effort. But I wish it was cleaned up a bit. If you’re tired of eating and brushing your teeth, please spray some mouthwash.
Her breath her continued to stink.
“The actor is really good at acting. He’s a great fit for the killer role. If you see the director, you will like it. So…….”
So choose that actor.
The bald middle-aged man blurted out his words of her and conveyed his meaning of her with his eyes of her.
Min Seon Ha tried to keep her smile and nodded her head.
“Ho Ho. If he is good at acting, of course he should be picked. I will take a closer look.”
“Heh heh heh. You will absolutely love it.”
Unconditionally pick this up?
Min Seon-ha’s smile caused her a slight convulsion. She is a successful director, but she lacks talent in her acting.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man continued her words empty-handedly, as if not noticing.
“I told Cage Entertainment to send an actor who is particularly good at it. Her face is also very handsome.”
You had a relationship with Cage Entertainment.
Inside Min Seon-ha, he snorted at her and greeted her with a smile on her face.
“Ho Ho. She’s a murderer. How can she be good-looking…….”
“Yes?”
“… There are many places to use. She’s usually a character with a good reputation around her. A pace where good and evil coexist is important. She’s good looking, so I’m looking forward to it.”
“Heh heh, right?”
“Yes Yes.”
Ah, what if there are 10 million directors? In the end, the investor is the gab. If it wasn’t for the stigma of being a half-half director, I would have done less, but I was annoyed.
“Hello, my name is Kim Joo-kyung from Cage Entertainment!”
The actor that the investment person said came up.
‘Just try not to act.’
At that time, it would be okay if I did a little bit of shit.
Min Seon-ha loaded the swearing gourd and watched her applicant’s stage her. After the designated acting of the set scenario, the applicant’s free acting continued.
Soon the applicant, who finished her performance, went down the stage.
“Well….”
Min Seon-ha crossed her arms with her ambiguous expression. The applicant’s acting of her was better than she thought. But when she said she was satisfied, it wasn’t.
‘First of all, he’s the best among the people I’ve seen so far.’
It’s barely enough to give you a passing grade.
But there is a problem. Her co-star her, Lee Chae-hee, was very good at acting.
Min Seon-ha turned to Lee Chae-hee, who was sitting on her right. The two had a very long relationship.
“Chaehee, what do you think?”
“… Not bad.”
I mean it’s barely usable. She was rated similarly to himself. At the same time, it was also the best evaluation ever.
“There is only one left. Looking at the profile, it seems that the successful candidates have already been decided, hee hee.”
A bald middle-aged man at the investment site said with a satisfied expression. Min Seon-ha agreed with that statement. It was ironic, but not wrong. In fact, looking at the profile of the one remaining person, I didn’t expect much.
However, I continued to look at her profile because of her puzzled mind her.
‘Why did this person apply here?’
Seo Joo-hwan. It’s a name you know I don’t have a personal acquaintance, but I enjoyed reading the novel he wrote. In particular, ‘The Absence of Communication – Seo Ae-pil’, which won the title of the winning works of the recent literary contest, felt like an independent film.
‘But why are you a writer? In case Chaehee and I have a scandal…?’
Min Seon-ha glanced at the expression of a friend sitting next to him. A faint smile hung over Lee Chae-hee’s face her.
‘Hey, hey, that bitch is really a baby with a 10-year age difference?! Surely you’re not going to be bewitched by a younger man and stick it in!?’
Min Seon-ha was startled and tried to hit Lee Chae-hee on the shoulder, but she barely stopped her hand her. The Lee Chae-hee she knew was truly crazy about her acting her. Even if she was really attracted to a younger man, the person who would prioritize her acting was Lee Chae-hee.
She whispered as she slapped Lee Chae-hee’s thigh under her desk.
“Chae-hee, Chae-hee, are you very close with author Seo Joo-hwan?”
He asked if the scandal was real. She had the psychic ability to communicate with her friends of her through her decade of her facial expressions.
Lee Chae-hee nodded her head with her face reminded of her.
“Yes. This is a really great thing.”
“…… !”
A look of astonishment crossed Min Seon-ha’s face in her.
‘Mu, mumu, mu, the stuff is amazing?!’
I was sure of the popular election.
Did it, did it! I’m very firmly possessed! Look at those eyes!
Lee Chae-hee licked her lips as she looked at her profile with her eyes that were vaguely released as to what the hell was coming up. Her red tongue flicked her and licked her lips her. She said as she turned to Min Seon-ha with her deep smile on her face.
“Will you like it too?”
“!!”
You see, what?!
It seemed that the spirit of popular election would go out.
