The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Li Menglong and Li Enxi have always respected each other's "scope of rights" and basically never cross the line. So what is Li Enxi doing now? The quota for her is not enough?

After seeing Li Menglong's suspicious eyes, Li Enxi roughly guessed what was going on. She wanted to throw a cup of coffee directly on his face. Can't people be kinder?

Li Menglong really wanted to do this, but how could she, Li Enxi, be so virtuous? Putting the word kindness on her head, didn't she feel that it was a slander to the word?

"This time, in addition to some reserved roles, there are also a few small roles that I decided to audition for. I didn't want to let you go, but since you happen to be in the company, why don't you go and take a look?" Li Enxi finally said his purpose. .

It seems that his conscience has found that he needs to give some opportunities to new actors, but Li Menglong prefers to think darker. This is either to increase the popularity or to choose two new actors for the company. In short, it cannot be that simple.

Fortunately, all these extra things have little to do with Li Menglong. He only needs to be responsible for filming: "What kind of roles are they? They can't all be minor players, right?"

One sentence directly stated the truth. After all, there really will be no outstanding roles left. Of course, it cannot be said directly: "There is nothing trivial about actors. Even if it is a role with only a few lines, it will not only add glory to the movie." Just add color."

Even though Li Enxi said this, Li Menglong was still not optimistic about it. Even if the role he chose was not a supporting role, it was definitely one with few lines.

This kind of role is basically not publicly cast in ordinary movies. The usual approach is to choose one of the supporting actors, which can be regarded as one of the paths for the supporting actors to rise to the top.

However, those who compete with the supporting actors are all big-name and famous actors. This is not to say that big actors lack this role, but that often in order to make the movie more outstanding, directors, actors and companies will find big-name guest stars through personal relationships.

Li Menglong also planned this, but since Li Enxi wanted to cast, he had no problem, but did he need to go to such a scene? Will it scare those young actors to death on the spot?

Besides, there were a lot of things on his side. Li Menglong subconsciously wanted to decline, but the cold wind that followed made him sober up.

Li Enxi came here deliberately for such a small thing. If Li Menglong refused, where would Li Enxi's face go? How will you lead the company forward in the future?

As a result, Li Menglong began to struggle with whether he was wronging himself or offending Li Enxi. He didn't seem to want to choose either one.

Xu Xian seemed to notice Li Menglong's confusion and obediently handed him a cup of coffee, but this action got her into trouble.

Li Menglong kept nodding his head when he saw Xu Xian, which made Xu Xian confused. She was wearing light makeup today. Could it be that it was a little weird?

"Xiao Xian, how does Oppa treat you on weekdays?" Li Menglong seemed to be a wolf grandma, holding Xu Xian's hand and asked with a fake smile.

Although he felt that there was a big hole behind this question, Xu Xian still wanted to answer honestly. This question cannot be ambiguous: "Of course it's great. I'm always grateful to Oppa!"

"Well, she is indeed my most beloved sister. In that case, it's time for you to repay me today. Are you ready?"

"Is it okay if I say I didn't do it well?" Xu Xian argued with a wry smile, but it seemed that Li Menglong didn't hear it at all, or pretended not to hear it.

Seeing that Li Menglong continued to play the emotional card there, Xu Xian really couldn't stand listening to it. He did a lot of things, and she didn't need to list them one by one. She, Xu Xian, remembered them all.

"You just want me to go for you, just say it!" Xu Xian said simply and neatly. This move earned Li Enxi's admiring look. In comparison, Li Menglong looked more like an indecisive woman!

"Well, that's what I mean!" Now that Xu Xian had spoken, Li Menglong directly showed off his cards: "Then I'll work hard for you today. Oppa will treat you to delicious food tonight, so go ahead!"

It's just that Li Menglong was too happy too early. Xu Xian just repeated the question. This does not mean that she has agreed to go. What was she going to do if she didn't agree with her words?

"I am also an actor in this drama. It seems a bit disrespectful for an actor to audition for another actor!" Xu Xiansan said seriously.

This concern is indeed worth raising. Privately, the protagonist can indeed affect the ownership of some minor supporting roles, and the director will not deny face in this regard.

After all, the actor is the actor, and the lead actor feels that he has a better connection with this supporting actor and can bring out excellent acting skills, so there seems to be nothing wrong with his choice.

But it’s not appropriate to put it on the bright side. No matter how famous you are, you are still an actor after all. Why can you decide my life and death from above if everyone has the same identity? If you say this, you will definitely be hacked!

Li Menglong indeed didn't consider this, but Xu Xian had already mentioned it, so it wouldn't be that troublesome to solve it. If actors can't interview actors, then it's only natural for directors to interview actors.

"Xiaoxian, come and be the assistant director of my drama. I'll give you another salary when the time comes. You don't have to work. Oppa, isn't that interesting?" Li Menglong winked at Xu Xian proudly, looking eager to be A complimentary look.

He just openly picked up the company's wool in front of Li Enxi. This shows how little he regards Li Enxi as a human being. Xu Xian would not be so short-sighted. In other words, the only person who dares to be so upright and not care about Li Enxi is Li Menglong.

"Let's forget it. The role of this drama is a bit heavy, and I may not have the energy to help Oppa." Xu Xian shied away.

However, this reason is quite normal. Those who can multi-task and complete two jobs at the same time cannot be said to be gifted, but it will indeed have an impact on both jobs.

Seohyun is not the kind of person who "gets money for nothing". If he really agrees to become an assistant director, he will definitely take responsibility on the set, which will save a lot of time to study acting skills.

But in Li Menglong's view, this is not a problem. If other actors are distracted, they are looking for scolding, but it doesn't matter if Xu Xian is distracted. As a director, he can accept it. What qualifications do the others have to point fingers.

So Li Menglong used his sharp tongue and successfully fooled Xu Xian. It wasn't until she walked out of the office with Li Enxi that she realized what she had promised.

"Unnie, why don't you go back to find Oppa? I'm really not good at it!" Xu Xian was still a little nervous when he thought about the scene he was about to go through.

Even though Seohyun has already directed a TV series independently, in fact this TV series is so special that she has missed many necessary steps that a director needs to go through.

For example, going to attract investment, scolding actors on the spot, or interviewing actors. Seohyun has been a director for a time, but he has not chosen actors. I have to say it is strange.

But this is the fact. After all, she was not given the opportunity to choose actors during the last filming. Instead, it took Xu Xian more experience to arrange the group of people reasonably.

So now she was asked to audition for an actor out of the blue. How could Xu Xian not panic and even complain a little bit about Li Menglong? Could this person deliberately want to see her joke?

However, Lee Eun-hee can still appreciate Lee Mong-ryong's hard work. It is said that Lee Mong-ryong definitely not only takes care of Seohyun as a sister, but also really wants to bring out a director.

Of course, this is also the first time for him to lead a disciple, and it may also be the last time, so this method may be too complicated.

But it’s not that we can’t see Seohyun suffering too much. Otherwise, the easiest way would be to just let Seohyun make a few low-budget movies on his own. After hitting enough walls, he would know how to avoid them.

Who makes Li Menglong reluctant to part with it? In this case, he can only carefully let Xu Xian try it step by step. For example, today's interview is a good opportunity.

"They are all small roles, so you don't have to be too nervous. Besides, I will be there soon, and no one dares to give you a look." Li Enxi assured, patting her chest.

Seohyun believes this. After all, those who dare to show off to Lee Eun Hee in SW dare not say that they were not born, but they are definitely not among this group of young actors.

Now that both Li Menglong and Li Enxi have spoken, Xu Xian's further pushback seems to be a bit disappointing to their expectations. After all, she also knows that this opportunity is very rare.

After taking a few deep breaths, as if he were on stage for the first time, Xu Xian kept cheering himself up in his heart, at least on the surface he seemed too calm.

The two walked directly to another building not far from the company. After all, with SW's current size, the original three floors could not accommodate so many departments.

So let's continue renting outside. If SW can maintain its current growth rate, it is estimated that the company's own building will start to be built. This is the embodiment of the status of a large company.

Xu Xian doesn't come here often, but fortunately, he meets SW employees along the way. Although he doesn't meet often, everyone still shows a kind smile.

But Seohyun's calmness only ends here. To be honest, Seohyun thought the scene was not big. After all, judging from the dialogue between Lee Eun-hee and Li Eun-hee, he was just a supporting actor with more lines.

To be honest, Xu Xian doesn't understand these actors very well. After all, she has never experienced any of this. Compared with the ups and downs in the early days of her idol career, her journey as an actor has been much smoother. Of course, she has to thank Li Menglong for being an idol. Help during this time.

So if it were Yoona who came over, she wouldn't have any surprises at all. Come on, this is a big production of SW company. Lee Mong Yong is the director, Girls' Generation is the lead actor, and even Yoon Eun Hye can only act. supporting role.

When all these conditions are combined, it can be said that there are no more than ten similar major projects in a year. With such a rare number, you can imagine what will happen when faced with a huge cast.

After all, there are only a limited number of actors who have connections and have been specially trained by the company. The 80/20 rule also fully applies here. 20% of the actors take up 80% of the opportunities, and the rest of the opportunities are snatched up by this group of people.

It can be said that the actors who can come to the scene to participate in the casting today have already gone through more than one round of primaries. To be here, they have already eliminated quite a few competitors, and this is just the beginning.

Even if Xu Xian didn't know the details, she could still see so many people, and the longing looks in their eyes burned her soul.

And this is just being affected. After all, this group of people mainly looks at Li Enxi. Although Xu Xian is very dazzling as a star, in this kind of occasion, Li Enxi is the center of the deserved.

Different from Li Enxi who usually bickered with Li Menglong and joked with girls, even if he was just following her, he could still feel Li Enxi's strong aura.

In fact, Xu Xian originally came in side by side with her, but now he unknowingly took a few steps back. Being the other party's follower is really not embarrassing at all, and it actually makes Xu Xian feel a little at ease.

To be honest, if Li Eun-hee wasn't still here, Xu Xian might have started to back down a long time ago. This situation was really beyond her control.

Just when Xu Xian was thinking about making a fool of himself, Li Enxi actually started to speak here: "Thank you everyone for coming. Everyone knows some things in the circle even if I don't tell them, and I'm not the kind of person who pretends to be aloof. people!"

Li Enxi looked around and said firmly: "I assure you here that although the role does not have many roles, there is absolutely no inside story. Whether you can get the role depends entirely on whether your acting skills can impress the director, that's all. !”

After the words fell, the scene was quiet at first, but then there was a burst of warm applause. After all, only people in the circle know how difficult it is to be fair.

With the weight of these roles and Li Eunxi's status, he should be disdainful to lie about this matter. In this case, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to impress the director with his strength.

Everyone is gearing up to prepare for the director, but where is Li Menglong? You must know that many people have been studying Li Menglong many days in advance, such as his character, his favorite style, his conversation habits, etc.

Although most of what they did would be useless, it would at least give them some peace of mind. As if he noticed everyone's inquiries, Li Enxi turned around and fished out Xu Xian, who had always lowered his head.

"Director Li Menglong has been unwell these days, so he specially sent the film's assistant director and heroine Xu Xian to replace him. I believe Xu Xian will give everyone a satisfactory answer with his unique understanding and professional perspective. Director Xu Xian has Anything to say?”

Xu Xian was really a little panicked. After all, the eyes looking at her were obviously full of confusion. What should I say? Could it be that she was forced to come here to make up the number?
