Chapter 1236 Park Zhiyan's thoughts (2)
"This drama was not chosen by Ji Yeon."
Yoon Ji, who had roughly read two outlines of the script, understood the girl's difficulties, so he took the initiative to explain to Park Ji-yeon: "Ji-yeon originally just wanted to get an audition for that ghost drama, but TVN agreed, but also put forward the conditions and handed us this drama called "Another, Oh Hae-young" to us, saying that he hopes you can consider playing the role of the male lead."
"Me?" Han Yu pointed at himself in surprise.
"Yes, you." Yin Zhi expressed his affirmation to him.
Han Yu took the outline of the script that he pushed himself to Park Ji-yeon and looked it up twice, then a look of silence appeared on his handsome face.
"And, even if I don't mention the conditions proposed by TVN, I have watched this drama. Its heroine setting should be even less suitable for Ji Yeon, right?"
Yoon Ji said, Park Ji-yeon, who was sitting beside her, lighted her head quickly and carefully, expressing her approval with silent actions.
"Isn't the heroine an older young woman with ordinary abilities, appearance, and family background? It seems that she is in her early thirties? With Ji Yeon's appearance and age, how would she play such a role?"
When Park Ji-yeon heard the president praise her for being good-looking indirectly, he lowered his head embarrassedly. After all, just from the perspective of personal charm, Yoon Ji is no less than her, an authentic artist.
"Well...it's still a matter of image after all."
Han Yu rubbed her chin thoughtfully, stared at Park Ji-yeon for a while, and then suddenly said, "How about removing eye makeup? Then put some time on clothing and makeup to make her look a few years older than her actual age."
After hearing Han Yu's proposal, the two women sitting opposite him immediately looked at him with a devilish expression.
Park Ji-yeon subconsciously raised her hands, covered her cheeks, and shook her head hard at Han Yu without hesitation.
Anyone who has met Park Ji-yeon, whether on TV or in reality, knows that her makeup is basically supported by the cat-eye makeup.
The charming corners of her eyes, outlined by black eyeliner, are almost her personal logo, or even no other.
If you remove the eye makeup, your eyes will be clear and unremarkable. Park Ji-yeon looks completely different from when she puts on eye makeup.
It is precisely because of this that Han Yu gave such a solution to the problem raised by Yin Zhi.
Park Ji-yeon, who doesn't wear eye makeup, almost lost her greatest charm. Her appearance can only be said to be pure and delicate, which barely meets the casting standards of the drama "Another, Oh Hae-young".
"Don't you think this is too unreasonable?"
"What's wrong with this?"
Facing Yin Zhi's unhappy words, Han Yu asked her instead.
"Since Jiyeon has chosen to take this path, she should understand the reason why actors sometimes need to sacrifice for their roles."
When the two women present were stunned when they heard Han Yu say this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Don't talk about the image of idol. Since she chooses to act, she has to break away from the image of idol. In this matter, her identity is an actor. Can you say that young actresses can only play those outstanding roles? What should other types of female characters do?"
In a few words, Han Yu made Yoon Ji and Park Ji-yeon speechless.
"...Are you optimistic about this drama called "Another, Wu Haiying"?"
Yin Zhi, who knew Han Yu's personality, seemed to have seen something and stared at him with a frown.
Han Yu replied: "I don't deny it. I think if Ji Yeon could star in this drama, it would be a good opportunity to improve her, whether it is in terms of popularity or acting. But the problem we are talking about now has nothing to do with this."
Having said that, Han Yu's gaze looked at Park Ji-yeon again. After meeting his gaze, Park Ji-yeon unconsciously sat upright like a little rabbit staring at by a beast.
"We must first be clear. Jiyeon, what you need now is a starting point, a starting point for your identity transformation, not a good opportunity. Everyone wants a good opportunity, but this kind of thing cannot be forced. Since we have watched a drama now, why not try it? If you are really selected, it will be a big breakthrough for you. People will no longer only remember Park Jiyeon, who sings and dances on the stage, and they will also remember Park Jiyeon, who is active as an actor."
"Ji Yeon, you answer me now, do you want to continue to be just 'idol Park Ji Yeon', or do you have an extra status and become 'actor Park Ji Yeon'?"
A call from Han Yu made Park Ji-yeon hold his breath a little.
She lowered her head in silence.
Finally, under the gaze of Han Yu and Yin Zhi, she raised her face, took a deep breath, and nodded heavily to Han Yu and said, "I will do it with my heart, don't worry!"
A faint smile appeared on Han Yu's calm face.
Yoon Ji looked at Park Ji-yeon, who seemed to have made up some great determination, and then looked at the smiling man, then shook his head and smiled, and continued to look at the computer screen to handle his work.
"but……"
At this time, Park Ji-yeon raised his hand weakly again, stared at Han Yu, and asked a question.
"Didn't the TVN intention of asking the president to play the male lead? If I'm the only one who goes there..."
Park Ji-yeon didn't say anything later, but Han Yu and both understood what she meant. She was worried that TVN TV would not even give her the last hope.
"I think this drama should be quite interesting, but I probably won't be the role of the male lead."
Han Yu's words extinguished the hope hidden in Park Ji-yeon's eyes.
Noting the girl's loss, even though she couldn't bear it, Han Yu still had to say, "I can only try to communicate with the other side first."
"You don't agree if someone invites Yoona to be the heroine, and you don't agree if someone invites you to be the hero. If you don't give other people's TV stations so much, why should they give us face?"
Yin Zhi bluntly pointed out the core issue of the whole thing.
After all, if Han Yu is willing to play the male lead role of "Another, Oh Hae-young", TVN will inevitably tend to be Leon Entertainment in terms of casting, which is a exchange of interests. On the contrary, if Han Yu does not agree to this invitation, Park Ji-yeon's audition will generally be hopeless.
The right to choose is not in Park Ji-yeon, nor in TVN TV, but in Han Yu's hands.
"What can I do? If I compromise just because of this, the subsequent impact will only make it more headache."
Unable to bear Park Ji-yeon's pitiful little eyes, Han Yu slightly staggered his gaze and looked at Yoon Ji with a frown.
"Speaking of this... I have a pre-selected plan."
"Um?"
Yin Zhi found a folder from the pile of files he had at his hand and handed it to the puzzled Han Yu.
In Park Ji-yeon's eyes that were also very curious, Han Yu looked at Yoon Ji's indifferent expression and lowered his head to open the folder. As a result, the content that caught his eyes on the first page made him stunned.
