Zheng Enji took a deep breath, trying to calm down his nervous mood.
She was wearing a white short-sleeved lining, a dark blue denim jacket, and matching tight jeans on the lower body. Her long brown hair was slightly curled in front of her body, and she had light makeup on her face. She looked a little green.
astringent.
With the encouragement of my manager, I walked into the audition venue.
Unlike Chi Kyung-won, who auditioned in an office, Jung Eun-ji auditioned in a more formal place, a bit like a small stage. After she walked in, she sat on a high stool in the center of the stage, with a camera facing her.
In the middle and below are a row of staff members, all of whom are the main creative staff of the "Reply 1997" crew.
Including producer Lee Myung-han, director Shin Won-ho, and screenwriter Lee Yoo-jung, everyone was looking at Jung Eun-ji above. There was an obvious look of scrutiny on Shin Won-ho's face.
"Relax, don't panic."
After the staff reassured me, the audition officially began.
I also asked a lot of questions, and then asked her to perform a part and say a few lines.
It was somewhat similar to Chi Jingyuan's previous audition, except that it obviously asked more questions and was more rigorous.
After watching Jung Eun Ji's performance for a long time, the several main creators below looked at each other, exchanged opinions with their eyes, and nodded slightly to indicate that it was okay.
A big requirement for this role is the Busan dialect, which is very simple for Jung Eun-ji, who was born in Busan.
Although she has no acting experience at all, based on her personality and performance in the audition, she has certain similarities with the heroine Cheng Shiyuan.
"It's not bad, but..."
Li Youzhen looked at Zheng Eunji, frowned, and whispered to the director next to her: "Do you feel that she is a little bit incompatible with the male protagonist?"
The male lead has already been decided to be Chi Jingyuan, so the choice of the female lead must naturally consider how she will match Chi Jingyuan.
Li Youzhen is very optimistic about Chi Jingyuan and is trying to change the script to increase the role of the male protagonist in the drama. Her starting point is that she hopes that the heroine can better match the male protagonist.
To put it bluntly, there are some differences in appearance.
However, he didn't say much in person. After asking a few more questions, the audition was over. Lee Minghan said that the audition went well and they would consider it carefully and go back to wait for news.
Zheng Endi smiled and bowed, saying goodbye to everyone.
On the way back to the nanny's car.
"Endi, what did the PDs say?"
The agent driving the car was very concerned and asked directly as soon as he got in the car.
During Zheng Eunji's audition just now, the manager was not idle either. He kept chatting with other crew members to establish relationships and asked a lot about the crew.
He naturally knows who has more say in casting.
"It's not bad, PD said the effect is good."
Zheng Eunji slumped in the back seat, recalling the audition scene just now in his mind, and said after hesitation.
"Jinjia? That's really good news. The company will continue to follow up after returning. You have great hopes." The agent was very happy after hearing this.
"By the way, Oppa, has the male lead of this drama been confirmed? Who is it?"
Zheng Enji remembered the comments he heard before and asked with a frown.
"Well, I heard that it was just confirmed two days ago that it is..."
………
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Jung Eunji was welcomed by the members.
It has been a little more than a year since Apink debuted, and they have released two mini albums and one full-length album. At the beginning of the year, they also won the first No. 1 song, and also won the 2011 Newcomer Award Grand Slam.
The start was amazing, but the follow-up was a bit weak.
The development in the recent period cannot be said to be good, nor can it be said to be very vague. The current situation is quite satisfactory and not boring.
Although the members of the team occasionally have conflicts, they generally get along well.
Although the eldest sister and captain Park Chorong looks soft and has a sweet voice, in private she has a gentle and cheerful personality, but she is also quite strong and has strong management skills.
There was no announcement today and the members were all staying in the dormitory. As soon as Jung Eun-ji entered the door, she was greeted by Kim Nam-joo.
"Hey Yigu..."
Zheng Eunji was obviously much more relaxed when he returned to the dormitory. He changed his shoes, walked in, lay down on the sofa in the living room, stretched his hands upward to expose his belly, and let out a long sigh.
Although the audition process was very fast, she was very nervous throughout the whole process and was always a little worried about the uncertain result. After returning to the dormitory to relax, she felt very tired.
"Ernie, how was the audition?"
Jin Nanzhu came over and sat next to him and asked curiously.
Several other members heard the commotion and came over one after another. Of course, they all knew about Zheng Eunji's audition for the heroine in the TV series.
Naturally, everyone wants to know the results of the audition. After all, Jung Eun-ji is not the only one in the group who wants to be an actor.
"The PD finally said that the results of the audition were quite good, but it has not been confirmed yet whether I can be selected. I will wait for notification in a few days." Zheng Eunji closed his eyes, and his tone showed that he was tired.
"but……"
She added another sentence herself, opened her eyes, and her expression changed a little.
"Mo?" Pu Chulong looked at him with wide eyes.
"I heard the writer and the PD discussing it privately, saying that if I were to be the heroine, I would look a little out of place with the male protagonist."
Zheng Eunji frowned and recounted the news he heard during the audition. He couldn't explain how he felt.
"jinjia? Who is the male protagonist?"
Zheng Eunji's words attracted everyone's attention, and several members almost stuck to her side.
"Well... the male lead was just confirmed. Our manager Oppa asked about it and it's Chi Jingyuan."
"Chi Jingyuan? Is he a newly debuted actor?" Jin Nanzhu said that he was unfamiliar with this name.
"It's Yuan from the boy band EXO. His real name is Chi Jingyuan."
Zheng Enji was a little tired, but he still explained.
"…………"
For a moment, the room suddenly became quiet. Several members looked at each other, exchanging glances.
"Well, that does seem a bit inappropriate."
Maknae Wu Xiarong is now more outspoken and quick to talk.
"Yeah!" Zheng Endi shouted at Wu Xiarong as if he had been hit hard.
"That's what it is."
Wu Xiarong was a little scared and took a few steps back. After reaching a safe distance, she held her neck and insisted on her point of view: "We met Yuan backstage at a singing competition. His appearance, figure and temperament were so impressive. Ernie...
"
Before she could finish her next words, she was stopped by Zheng Endi's eyes that were intent on tearing her apart.
Several members nearby heard Wu Xiarong's words and nodded in approval, but perhaps because they were concerned about Zheng Eunji's face, the amplitude of their nods was very small.
"Ah!" Zheng Endi yelled hysterically, lying on the sofa and losing the energy to move.
"Eunchi, fighting, PD said the audition was very good, I will definitely succeed."
Park Chorong patted Zheng Eunji's thigh to encourage her.
"Fighting!" Several members also came over to encourage Zheng Eunji at the same time. Wu Haarong, who had just taken a few steps back, also walked to the side and made a cheering gesture.
