Peninsula: The Best Actor Begins with a Breakup

Chapter 112 Audition.

"Director nim, I understand."

Mingyan finally received the specific audition time.

After finishing the filming of "Fight for My Way", he spent the rest of his time preparing for the audition of "The King", and now it is finally time to test the results.

Jin Min-woon, who had just returned from practice, noticed Ming-yeon's excitement and asked, "Uncle, is there something good?"

"I accepted an audition for a movie." Mingyan likes the feeling of constantly challenging himself. Compared with Gao Dongwan, Choi Doo-il in "The King" is obviously more challenging.

"Wow, you're going to be in a movie."

"correct."

Mingyan nodded reservedly.

However, Kim Min-woong's next words made him laugh and cry: "Uncle, are you still working with Ji-won unnie this time?"

"We're tied together, right? We've collaborated on a TV series and now we're collaborating on a movie." Ming Yan raised his hand and tapped his niece's forehead. "This time I'm working with Jo In-sung and Jung Woo-sung, both of whom are amazing actors."

One is the Best Actor and the other has been nominated for Best Actor many times. You can definitely learn a lot from working with them.

"Awesome~" Jin Minyao gave a thumbs up in response.

"Do you dare not be more attentive?"

"Don't dare."

Mingyan was actually a little nervous. After all, an audition didn't guarantee passing. Director Han Zairin's new work must have many people watching it in the circle, so the competition would be fierce.

Since his debut, he has played roles that are more idol-oriented, and he has never played a character similar to Choi Doo-il in "The King".

Even with Zhao In-sung's face, I have to make it reasonable.

"Jisu unni, my uncle has received another new drama." After returning to the room, Kim Min-woon threw himself on the bed and started texting Kim Ji-soo.

The little guy is willing to tell Kim Ji-soo everything. This sister gives people the feeling of a friend. Kim Ji-won feels too much like an aunt, and Lim Nayeon has a busy schedule and has no time. She does not have much private communication with Kim Min-ho.

Kim Ji-soo's reply came quickly: "Audition, I haven't passed yet."

"Is it an audition?"

Jin Min-woon was stunned for a moment. She really didn't pay attention just now, and she assumed in her mind that she passed the audition.

"Minyeom, do you want your uncle to pass the audition tomorrow?" Kim Ji-soo is very good at understanding the little guy's thoughts, or it can be said that the two of them want the same thing to some extent.

"think."

Jin Min-woon tapped the keyboard quickly.

The girl had noticed Mingyan's excited expression when he talked about the movie. Her uncle must be looking forward to starring in this movie.

"Then you..."

The next morning, when Mingyan came out yawning and made coffee, he saw Jin Minyu, who was dressed neatly. "What are you doing up so early?"

"Uncle, you have an audition today, and I want to give you a ride."

"But I just had an audition this afternoon, and now I'm just out for a drink."

"..."

……

Mingyan was in a very happy mood when he drove to Han Zairin's company.

Although Kim Min-yeon's plan to send blessings and surprises was not successful, the thoughtfulness behind it is still worthy of praise.

The little guy was so angry that he even wanted to go to the audition with Mingyan. He had to stop her with great difficulty. Who would go out to work and bring a child with them?

If Kim Min-woon carries a bag, people will suspect him of employing child labor. If it were Yoo Ji-min, the same thing would happen.

No, that's not a good idea either. It will easily lead to rumors.

He was shocked when he saw Han Zairin again. The state of this old man at work was completely different from the one when he was drinking. If he hadn't seen him before, Mingyan would have thought he saw some decadent otaku.

"Hello, Director Nim."

Mingyan politely extended his hand to greet him.

"Xiaoyan, long time no see. Your latest TV series is very popular." Han Zailin said politely.

Ming Yan was actually a little surprised: "I didn't expect Director Nim to have watched my TV series."

"Fight for My Way" is a melo drama, and most of its audience are young girls. Even if gender factors are excluded, Han Jae-lin's age and taste do not quite match.

Han Zairin smiled and said, "My daughter likes to watch it."

He is 42 years old this year, and his daughter is already in junior high school, which is the age when she likes to chase stars and handsome guys.

This can be considered an advantage of Mingyan.

The two came to a room specially used for interviews. There was a camera turned on next to it. The actor's audition process was also valuable information, which might be used someday.

Han Zairin was very interested in Mingyan's last statement about his understanding of the characters.

It is not scary for young actors to be a little immature. The most important thing is that they have spirituality and tenacity, so that they can be sculpted to achieve the desired effect.

"Xiaoyan, take a look at this script first." Han Zailin handed Mingyan a script. Since it was an audition, the most important thing was to see how he performed on the spot.

What Zhao In-sung revealed was just the general character settings; he hasn't even read the detailed script.

"Ok."

Mingyan quickly flipped through it, and at the same time silently conceived the performance based on the script in his mind.

Han Jae-lin's gaze fell on the young actor in front of him through the lenses. The sunlight outside the window cast a silhouette on Mingyan's angular face. The boy's upright figure and the signs of exercise that he unconsciously revealed were very consistent with Choi Doo-il's character.

A gangster can't be too weak.

"Tell me about your understanding of Choi Doo-il." Han Jae-lin was looking forward to Mingyan's specific analysis of the character.

Mingyan thought for a moment, then gave a slightly literary-sounding answer: "A hyena roaming the underworld, but with roses hidden in its fangs."

"Oh?"

"For example, in the knife-blocking scene, the character had to make the audience believe that he was both a thug who could snap his enemy's neck without hesitation, and a fool who would sacrifice his life for a piece of candy handed to him by his eldest brother in childhood."

Choi Doo-il is such a character.

Han Jae-rin's fingers tapped lightly on the table, the slow rhythm proving that he was thinking about what Mingyan had said.

"You can improvise the scene where Choi Doo-il finds out he's been abandoned by his eldest brother."

"Ok."

Mingyan thought about it for a while.

He suddenly stood up, his knuckles turning white from the effort. "You taught me that power is a sharper weapon than a knife... but now I feel like I've become the rust on your knife."

Mingyan also slowly wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, embodying the pain of being betrayed by his most trusted elder brother.

This is a detail he added based on his understanding of the character.

Han Zairin noticed the fierceness and fragility that flashed alternately in Mingyan's eyes, and nodded imperceptibly.

I found a treasure.

"Director Nim, I wonder how my performance was?"

"Get ready to join the group. I'll let you know the specific time."

　Brothers, I wanted to ask for leave last time, but I finally rushed it out. Let’s ask for leave tomorrow. There should be only two updates on the 11th.
