Chapter 1333 Gold
All the main actors were put forward for discussion, and the main creators also offered some suggestions. Ji Kyung-won also gave a few names of actors.
However, he didn't exchange any resources; he just felt it was a good fit.
"...This is pretty much the current lineup. If there are any additions or changes later, I will let everyone know."
"Because the production team had not yet been assembled and Jingyuan had not yet returned, there was no opportunity for the actors to have more in-depth contact."
"The casting process will officially begin after today. We will communicate with various agencies and conduct the first round of interviews in five days."
The dozens of minor roles were mostly the work of the producer and casting director. As long as nothing went wrong, Chi Jingyuan and the others wouldn't pay too much attention to them. After the main roles were completed, the producer made a summary and set the audition time.
"Jingyuan, is your schedule okay?" After saying that, the producer glanced at Chi Jingyuan.
"Don't worry, PD Lin. Let me know the specific time for the audition, and I'll be there on time."
Chi Jingyuan immediately nodded in agreement, saying that he would definitely come to the first round of auditions.
After discussing some other miscellaneous matters, the meeting was almost over. However, as the reminiscence was ending, Ji Kyung-won and the producer were talking about audition-related matters when director Ahn Gil-ho suddenly called them back.
"Jingyuan, Zheng Balin's character is on the surface a policeman, and a very high-performing one at that, but in private he's a ruthless killer with superhuman strength and stamina..."
He looked Chi Jingyuan up and down, stroking his chin as he offered his advice: "I think you might need to build some muscle, which would be more in line with the character's image and make you look more convincing."
"..."
Chi Jingyuan initially thought it was something serious, but after hearing the director's words, he immediately began to ponder it.
Although he has a great physique, he is not the type with very prominent muscles. He is very well-proportioned and standard compared to other male idols, but he would be slightly lacking in visual appeal when used in TV dramas.
Ahn Gil-ho is right. When he was reading the script, the image of Jung Ba-rin that came to mind was that of a rather strong person. He was kind and gentle on the surface, but actually had great physical strength, which was quite a contrast.
...otherwise, he wouldn't have become a serial killer.
"I understand. I will try my best to build muscle before the official start of filming." After a brief consideration, Chi Jingyuan nodded in agreement.
He needs to be stronger.
…………
The Han River outside the window shimmered in the afterglow of the evening. Kim Ji-won sat cross-legged on the living room carpet, a steaming cup of herbal tea beside her, intently reading a book about modern photography.
Perhaps because the temperature in Seoul has been quite low recently, and the air conditioning wasn't on in the room, she was wearing a camel-colored cashmere sweater, and the room was simply and warmly decorated, without too many fancy decorations, giving it a comfortable and refreshing feel.
After filming "Fight for My Way," she deliberately gave herself a break. Rather than frequent media exposure, she preferred this time alone, using it to recharge, read, or even simply clear her mind.
Her personality has always been like this: "Whenever she is not working, she enters a low-key, energy-saving mode. She is not good at or likes too much social interaction. Her private life is simple and even a bit boring."
Just then, the doorbell rang, which surprised her, as few people would come to disturb her at this time.
Through the peephole, she saw her manager, Kim Hyun-woo, the company's CEO, holding a thick file folder in his hand, his face showing a mixture of urgency and excitement.
"Representative, what brings you here all of a sudden? Is there something you can't say over the phone?"
Kim Ji-won opened the door, her tone gentle, but those who knew her could detect a hint of complaint, as if she were annoyed that her private, quiet space had been disturbed.
At the same time, she skillfully and naturally took out slippers for her agent, her gaze sweeping over the file bag in his hand, and she already had a guess in her mind.
She debuted as an actress quite early, filming a TV series in 08 and her first movie in 11. However, over the years she has appeared in many productions, but most of them are not major roles. In addition, she is very low-key outside of work. Although she looks familiar to many viewers and has a highly recognizable appearance, she is not considered very famous.
Even though "Descendants of the Sun" was a huge hit last year, and she was one of the main characters in the drama, most of the benefits of the drama were taken by Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo. Although she also benefited from the show, it wasn't as much as one might expect.
Until this year, she played her first leading role in a drama series, the romantic comedy "Fight for My Way." With the popularity of this drama, which resonated with the whole nation on the theme of "the youthful struggle of ordinary people," she achieved a breakthrough. Moreover, due to the chemistry between her and the male lead, Park Joon-seo, she gained a large number of fans who shipped them as a couple, and her popularity and fame soared.
Unlike some other celebrities who frequently appear in the public eye, Kim Ji-won only briefly participated in a photoshoot after the drama ended before returning to a low profile, and it is rare to see her in the news.
Although she is low-key, her career never stops. After the success of "Fight for My Way", she became more recognized in the industry. Her agency, King Kong, received many scripts, and her agent was also actively looking for suitable scripts.
Especially at the end of the year, which is a crucial stage for Korean drama production teams to prepare for the following year's dramas, her agent has recently given her several scripts, including urban romance and urban suspense. The script for a period comedy that was brought over a couple of days ago is still on her desk.
"Why isn't the air conditioning on again?"
Kim Hyun-woo closed the door, changed his shoes, glanced at Kim Ji-won who was completely without makeup, and, feeling the chilly surroundings, couldn't help but mutter something before striding in: "It feels even colder than outside~"
"I prefer this kind of environment, Oppa, don't you think it makes people more clear-headed?"
"But don't you like to zone out?"
"Uh...haha."
Her manager knew her too well; a casual remark left Kim Ji-won speechless. After an awkward smile, she quickly changed the subject, looking at the file folder in his hand: "Oppa, is there a new script again?"
"Yes, the company just received a new script. The director and I both read it and thought it was very good. It's necessary to let you see it as soon as possible."
"So soon? Looks like this script is really good. You came over without even making a phone call."
Kim Ji-won poured her manager a glass of hot water, then casually picked up the file folder, curiously opened it, and immediately saw the drama title on the cover:
"Mouse..."
"This name is... I think I've heard it before."
There will be more later
