Chapter 218 It's not good for you and me to have an affair at this time
November 30
The conference room on the 11th floor of the cj entertainment headquarters building.
Bong Joon-ho and Han Jin-won arrived at the venue for today's second round of auditions ten minutes early.
While drinking coffee, he whispered: "Is there any special reason for choosing the CJ Entertainment headquarters building for the second round?"
Bong Joon-ho was vaguely worried. In fact, he and Han Jin-won had once again discussed the casting criteria for the roles set in the script in the past three days.
Kim Ji-soo, Park So-dam, and Kim Go-eun also looked through the works that Kim Ji-soo, Park So-dam, and Kim Go-eun had starred in. In the end, the two of them felt that Kim Ji-soo was more suitable. In addition to having more popularity and fan base than the other two in terms of commercial film value,
Her performance in the first round of auditions really left a deep impression on both of them.
Han Jinyuan heard several friends around him mention the auditions for the female lead role in the movie "Parasite" these days, and they all guessed that the female lead in this movie would definitely use someone with a background and backstage.
There are even rumors that the person recommended by the powerful has not yet debuted, and is not an actor trainee, just a model.
A few minutes later, Yoo Sang-ho appeared in the conference room. After greeting the two of them, he said: "President Nim is discussing something in President Nim's office. Today's audition may have to be postponed for ten minutes."
Just as he was talking, Jin Jixiu came to the conference room first.
After politely greeting the three of them, Jin Jixiu quietly sat on the empty chair opposite.
I was searching for a suitable topic to chat with the director and others in my mind, but Bong Joon-ho said it first: "How has Ji Soo-xi been practicing these days?"
Kim Ji-soo waved her hands modestly and said, "I'm still trying to figure out how to better understand the character. I think the most difficult thing is how to show that natural lying look and eyes."
"Ji Soo-xi has never lied, right?"
"Yes, my lies will be seen through at a glance."
Yoo Sang-ho interjected: "Yes, Ji Soo-xi's eyes are clear and bright, and she looks like a child who can't lie."
Seventeenth floor
Inside the president's office
Li Chenghao sat on the right side of Li Meijing and gently rubbed his temples.
Sitting on the left side of Li Meijing is Representative Xu Minghui. At this moment, he is talking about powerful connections: "President nim, it is not my selfish intention. If we can get closer to the common democracy through the selection of the heroine in the movie this time, what will happen to us in the future?"
It’s also a great thing for cj entertainment.”
"When we enter overseas markets, especially the Hollywood and European and American entertainment markets, Cheong Wa Dae will definitely ask the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Sports to give us the green light all the way and even help us communicate and coordinate cooperation plans with the powerful people there."
Although Li Meijing was listening to Xu Minghui's personal opinions, her eyes were always focused on Li Chenghao.
"Are you tired lately?"
Putting down his right hand, Li Chenghao shook his head with a smile and said, "Maybe there was too much cold wind after eating the night before yesterday."
"The day I had dinner with the director of the Cheong Wa Dae Strategic Planning Office?"
Nodding, Li Chenghao turned his attention to Xu Minghui: "Representative Xu's opinions are very pertinent and important to cj entertainment. In fact, cj entertainment cannot develop smoothly overseas without the help of Blue House."
Li Meijing took the opportunity to praise Xu Minghui: "Everything Representative Xu thinks and does is for the better development of the company. He is the most loyal person in the entire CJ Entertainment."
Li Chenghao immediately picked up the topic: "Representative Heo is well-deserved, that's why he can sit in the position of representative director, but Representative Heo doesn't have to worry too much about this matter. The director of the Strategic Planning Office conveyed the wishes of the Blue House and will fully support CJ Entertainment in promoting Korea."
Streaming culture expands overseas influence.”
"Also, the audition for this role is all about finding actors who fit the script. It is not just a commercial movie, but also a stepping stone."
"We are not professionals in this field, so we still have to rely on the opinions of the director and screenwriter. Representative Xu must have considered it more carefully than I did. I believe that Representative Xu will make the final choice."
Li Meijing turned sideways and faced Xu Minghui: "Representative Xu, in the future, CJ Entertainment will need you to continue to lead the way forward. With you here, Cheng Hao and I are relieved. Representative Xu will not let us down."
What can Xu Minghui say?
One on the left and one on the right, the aunt and nephew were completely sandwiched between him and manipulated him at will.
And throughout the whole process, he did not say that there was anything wrong with his opinions. Instead, he praised himself, affirmed himself, recognized himself, and trusted himself.
The two casual words seemed to be an unintentional conversation of concern, but what he said was important information that could dispel his worries. At the end, he did not forget to make the pie bigger.
Nod hard
Xu Minghui responded: "President Nim, don't worry. President Nim means that I know very well. Of course, the film must be left to professionals to decide on the choice of characters. Like President Nim, I only hope that this entry into overseas markets will go smoothly."

ten thirty
Conference room on the 11th floor of cj entertainment headquarters building
Li Chenghao and Xu Minghui finally arrived at today's audition site.
The actors have all prepared. The three people sitting on the left side of the conference table all look more or less nervous.
After Li Chenghao sat down, he immediately muttered a few words with Bong Joon-ho.
When Bong Joon-ho looked at Xu Minghui, Xu Minghui nodded to him.
"The three of you can start today's audition. The order is Park So Dam xi, Kim Go Eun xi and Kim Ji Soo xi."
half an hour later
The entrance of the tvn broadcasting station headquarters building.
Jin Jixiu took small steps to catch up with Li Chenghao in front: "President nim, thank you"
Standing still, Li Chenghao looked back at Jin Jixiu: "Why did you thank me for what you earned?"
Raising her right hand to smooth her ears and hair, Kim Ji-soo said shyly with a smile: "Thank you, President Nim, for the tip. During the first round of auditions, if I hadn't worn clothes that were close to the character in the script, I might not have entered."
On to the second round of auditions.”
Waving his hand, Li Chenghao didn't think it was anything.
"Also, thank you to President Nim for being tolerant of me. Every time we meet, I have caused a certain amount of harm to President Nim. I want to treat President Nim to dinner tonight. I didn't know that President Nim has..."
take a step back
Li Chenghao cleared his throat: "I've been very busy recently. We'll talk about dinner later. Also, it's not a good decision for you to have dinner with me alone at this juncture. If there are scandals, you will be criticized a lot if you are elected as the female lead.
People question it.”
buzzing
When the phone rang, Li Chenghao didn't even look at who was calling, he just felt that this call solved the awkward situation with Jin Jixiu.
After being connected, he said: "I am Li Chenghao"
Pei Zhuhyun's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is President Nim busy?"
"you say"
Kim Ji-soo stood at the door of the broadcasting station and watched Lee Sung-ho disappear into the lobby on the first floor while answering the phone.
Stomping her feet: "Jin Jixiu, look at yourself, what a terrible impression you have left on others to make others avoid you. Hey, this time I really want to thank you in return, and I am determined not to get a drop of it."
