debut [entertainment]

"This is your line."

The staff handed her the A4 paper, and after Kim Yoo-hee thanked her, she sat down at the end of the line.

The lines on the A4 paper are divided into upper and lower paragraphs and two scenes.

Scene 1 is the heroine Hannah looking forward to a wonderful future after she and the heroine are really together. Scene 2 is Hannah telling the psychological teacher of her experience of being raped on the day of suicide.

For the former, Kim Yoo-hee has practiced many times during the video with Timothy, and for the latter, she has also found her own similar emotional outlet through self-exploration.

But Jin Youxi was a little nervous about how much he could show what he had practiced in private today.

She's really not a stage fright person.

She had never been so nervous on stage.

But facing this seemingly "insignificant" audition, she didn't know why her palms were sweating and her heart was beating extremely fast.

The time passed extremely long.

On the one hand, Jin Youxi hopes that it will be her turn as soon as possible, so that she can get rid of things early; on the other hand, she wishes that the time will pass more slowly, so that the people who participated in the audition in front of her can delay it longer, so that she may be able to slowly adjust her mentality .

Such a contradictory mentality made her unable to focus on the paper, and her nervous eyes became a little dazed.

"YOXIKIM?" The staff shouted the name again, this was the third time he called it, but still no one answered.

what's the situation?Are you leaving?

The staff seemed to be familiar with this situation, and he lowered his head to cross the name off the form.

"……I am here."

A female voice sounded quietly, and the staff looked up. Not far away, an extremely beautiful girl raised her hand and stood up.

Originally, he wanted to get angry and said that he didn't respond after calling several times before, but after seeing this face, his anger was wiped out in an instant.

Forget it, maybe she was too nervous, seeing her restless appearance.

"Come with me, you'll be here soon." The staff member said.

Jin Youxi took a deep breath, followed his footsteps, turned left and walked into an office.

The room was very small, about thirty square meters in size. There was a row of desks in the innermost part. Four men and one woman sat behind the desk, looking down at some information.

And there is a camera in front of the table, and a stool in front of the camera.

This stool is for audition candidates.

Among the three men, Jin Youxi saw that Uncle Kyle was sitting in the second place from the right.

Compared to other casting directors, Netflix producers, screenwriters, and actors from the Screen Actors Union who were all looking down at the materials, Uncle Kyle's attitude was much more cordial. He smiled at Kim Yoo-hee and asked her to sit on the stool forward.

Seeing someone familiar, Jin Youxi relieved her tension a little and smiled slightly.

At this time, the representative of the producer who was sitting next to Uncle Kyle raised his head, just in time to see her smile.

Beautiful people are privileged and have high commercial value.He is a common man, and he unconsciously had a good first impression of this new actress.

"Asian-American, right?" The producer's attitude was somewhat enthusiastic.

"Cough, yes." Jin Youxi's throat felt a little dry.

"Have you ever had any acting experience?" the producer asked again.

"When I was studying at Berkeley College, I participated in the performance of the musical theater club." Jin Youxi replied.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present knew that she was a newcomer who hadn't appeared in any works yet.

"Have you read the novel "Thirteen Reasons Why?" asked the producer.

"I've seen it many times." Jin Youxi nodded.

"Then tell me what you think of the heroine." The producer still had some expectations for her.

The screenwriters and the supervisors of the actors' union also raised their heads and looked at Jin Youxi together.

"Emm..." Jin Youxi's heart was beating fast, he couldn't help but paused for a while, and then said slowly, "I think Hannah can be anyone of us when we were students, and what happened to her is real In reality, the school violence she suffered..."

"Wait a minute, I didn't ask you to do a post-reading review, so you don't need to make such a long speech." The casting director interrupted Kim Yoo-hee's speech, and frowned at her, "I checked your profile, and you think you are suitable for the role of Hannah Where is the advantage?"

Advantage?

Jin Youxi was a little dazed, but subconsciously replied: "Appearance?"

"..." The casting director choked for a moment, seeing her subconscious answer, he couldn't refute it for a moment.

The producer laughed directly, "Yes, that's right, your appearance is very beautiful, we already know it."

Kyle hasn't asked a question since the beginning until now, as if he was truly fulfilling the promise of "never go through the back door". He just smiled and leaned back on the back of the chair when he heard this.

Among the five audition officers today, a woman is from the actor union. The most important role is to monitor whether there are unspoken/rule/rule transactions on the scene, so I can PASS for the time being.

And he himself can PASS.

The rest comes from the producers, screenwriters, and casting directors.

Among them, producers have always been interested in the commercial value of actors. For them, acting skills are indeed necessary, but good looks are a plus. Hee has a crush.

But this casting director is different, he sees too many beautiful zombie beauties who have no acting skills, and subconsciously prejudices the beautiful actresses, thinking that they have no acting skills, so Kyle knows that he has no acting skills. Hee's first impression might not be too good.

In the end it's the screenwriter.

This "Thirteen Reasons Why" TV series is adapted from a novel, but the author of the novel is not a screenwriter. There may be a certain gap between the heroine in the screenwriter's mind and the heroine in the novel author's mind, so Kyle I don't know much about the writer's attitude.

But in Hollywood, the screenwriter's right to speak in a crew is really too weak, even if the screenwriter has a mediocre impression of Youxi, it's actually irrelevant, PASS.

To sum up, it is probably whether the opinions between the producer and the director can be unified is the key to whether Kim Yoo-hee can pass the audition.

The casting director present is the long-term partner of the chief director of "Thirteen Reasons Why". His opinion will largely affect the chief director's opinion. But it cannot be ignored.

Therefore, Kim Yoo-hee had to change the casting director's opinion in the following performances in order to ensure her success in the audition.

Although Kyle didn't intervene, he was very curious about what the daughter of his old friend's family could look like.

So far, what Kim Yoo-hee has shown is still an audition candidate who has no bright spots except for his appearance.

"No more nonsense, let's start acting directly, just this monologue in scene 1." The casting director said.

In the audition, you can read the lines from the manuscript, Jin Youxi cleared his throat, and tried to put aside the nervousness in his heart.

From now on, you are Hannah.

She closed her eyes and repeated it to herself several times before she looked at the monologue on the paper.

The timeline of the scene where this monologue is located is a memory of the hero Clay and the future vision of the two that Hannah recorded herself before committing suicide.

Jin Youxi's eyes gradually changed.

There seemed to be a little sweetness in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was missing something.

Yes, she was thinking about her first kiss with Clay.

How she liked him, his clumsiness, his kindness, his integrity, everything about him she couldn't have liked more.

She used to think it was just friendship between friends, but now she understands that this is love, a passionate love that can make people worry about gains and losses.

She could feel that Clay liked herself as much as she did, and she wanted to give all of her best to Clay.

She thought she was really ready.

"For the first time in a long time, I can imagine a happy future, a good life. I know you feel the same way."

She was talking longingly into the tape recorder, as if Clay was standing in front of her right now.

"I really wanted to do with you everything you were doing, I really wanted to give myself to you, so I don't know why my mind wandered elsewhere."

"I thought of other boys..."

The nightmare swept towards her just like that, and the belittling and insulting of her by those boys flooded her mind in an instant.

Her ex-boyfriend sent photos of her underpants secretly to all the boys in the school, making her the target of ridicule by all the boys.

The guys were doing some disgusting hands behind her buttocks.

They asked her, "Did Justin hand in your Finger?"

They guessed: "Did you give him the Blowjob?"

They said to her, "You're on the sexy list."

They also joked with a smirk: "I heard that you two like to be separated by a man."

They said everywhere that she had the busiest buttocks in the school. Not only did they grab her buttocks unscrupulously when they passed by, but when she refused to resist, they also said: "I thought you were slutty/slutty like the rumors."

These nightmares prevented her from concentrating on Clay in front of her. A strong inferiority complex swept her mind. The strong stress response made her push her favorite boy away vigorously and kicked him out of the bedroom. .

Jin Youxi's eyes gradually became sad, with tears in her eyes, as she read the monologue to Clay on the paper, her heart felt like a knife twisted:

"A part of me was saying, 'Please, don't go, please?' And another part of me never wanted to see you again."

"But you actually walked out the door, as I said, and walked out..."

The teardrops filled in the eyes could no longer bear the weight and slipped from the cheeks. Jin Youxi wiped them away, bit her lower lip hard, and tried hard to suppress the choked sobs that were about to blurt out:

"Why did you have to leave? That was the worst thing that ever happened to me."
