Chapter 100: Can you accept the kissing scene? [Subscribe]

At 9:30 in the morning, director Lee Eung-bok arrived at the set of "Goblin" with his assistant. As soon as he got off the elevator, he saw that the corridor near the conference room was full of people.

"Hello, Director!" "Good morning, Director!"

Seeing the director coming, the actors hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

Li Yingfu took a closer look and found that there were basically no familiar faces, which meant that these were all new actors.

Ugh!
Li Yingfu was helpless about this.

The movie "Goblin" was invested with 200 billion yuan. With such a huge investment, the film company should have invited some first-line or even super-first-line actors to audition.

However, Xingji Entertainment did not invite any specific actors to audition, but only sent invitations to some actor agencies.

The reason why Xingji Entertainment did this was because Li Zhixuan was convinced that the drama "Goblin" did not need to be promoted by anyone, and it could even promote people.

When filming a movie, if the quality of the movie is not good enough, the producer will invite some big-name stars to star in it, and then rely on the popularity of these big-name stars to promote the movie.

On the other hand, if the quality of the play is good enough and there is no need to worry about the ratings, you can invite some less famous or even new actors to star in it. This will not only save on salary expenses, but also make the new actors famous.

As a veteran director, Lee Eung-bok understands this very well and is very confident about "Goblin."

But no matter how confident you are, you can't just use new actors for the lead roles. After all, even the best show needs to attract people to watch it first.

So what attracts people? On the one hand, it’s hype, and on the other hand, it also requires the popularity of celebrities.

Xingji Entertainment didn't send invitations to big-name actors, so there was no need for them to condescend to interview at a company on the verge of bankruptcy. While "Goblin" had a large budget, Xingji Entertainment's previous films and TV series also had significant budgets. Which one was a hit?
But even if the big names don't come, there will always be some less famous ones, right? If all the actors are new, the show won't be able to be filmed.

Fortunately, there was a group of actors waiting for interviews in the lounge, and these people were relatively famous.

The actresses include: Park Min-young, Lim Yoona, Bae Suzy, Lee Ji-eun, Tara trio, Krystal Jung, Lee Sung-kyung, etc.

The male actors include: Ji Chang Wook, Park Bo Gum, Park Seo Joon, Choi Woo Shik, Ok Taec Yeon, Lim Ju Hwan, etc.

Although there are no top actors, and some of them are even idols, they are basically quite popular, which is much better than the new actors waiting in line outside.

Huh? Little Han Ga-in!

Li Yingfu was about to leave after saying hello to the actors, but at this moment he accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhang Yuanna who was busy registering the actors, and his eyes suddenly brightened!
However, he also realized that this little Han Ga-in was not an actor, but a company employee.

But with this look and figure, wouldn’t it be a waste if she didn’t become a star?

Soon, Li Yingfu came to the interview meeting room next door and found Li Zhixuan.

"Writer Li, next door..." Li Yingfu was stunned when he said that, and then asked with concern: "Your lip is injured?"

Well, I got bitten for being a hooligan.

Lin Yuna was too cruel and bit his lip directly.

Li Zhixuan certainly couldn't tell the truth about Li Yingfu's concern, so he could only pretend to be casual and explain: "I accidentally fell and broke my lip just now."

"Do you want a doctor to see you? Give you some medicine or something?"

"It's just a minor injury, no need. What did you want to say?"

"Oh, I was wondering if the girl next door who's registering the actors is an employee of our company?" "That's my assistant, Zhang Yuanna. She just started today."

Upon hearing this, Li Yingfu nodded somewhat disappointedly: "Is that so? What a pity."

"What a shame?" Hearing this, Li Zhixuan frowned and asked in confusion, "What's a shame? Is it a waste of her talent to let her be my assistant?"

"No, no!" Li Yingfu hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant. Please don't misunderstand me. I just think that with her conditions, if she debuts, she should be able to develop very well."

"But she graduated from Seoul National University's College of Business. Will it work?"

"Of course. Not having a formal education isn't necessarily a disadvantage. A blank slate makes it easier to train."

"Then I'll ask her for you. If she's willing to be a star, I'll find her an assistant."

"it is good!"

As he was speaking, Zhang Yuanna came in with a folder in her hand.

"Teacher Li, Director, here is the list of actors coming for interviews today and their registration information."

After taking the folder, Li Zhixuan simply flipped through it and handed it to Li Yingfu. Then he looked at Zhang Yuanna and asked, "Yuanna, are you interested in becoming an actor?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Yuanna blinked a little, as if she didn't expect Li Zhixuan to ask this. After confirming that she heard it correctly, she immediately shook her head: "Not interested."

"Why?" This was not asked by Li Zhixuan, but by Li Yingfu, with a somewhat surprised expression. He probably didn't expect Zhang Yuanna to refuse so bluntly.

"Well..." Zhang Yuanna blushed slightly and explained a little stiffly: "I don't want to be tangled up with a strange man, hugging him, or even..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yingfu understood and nodded, saying, "I understand. Let's work hard."

"Yeah, thank you, director."

Li Zhixuan beside him fell into deep thought. The girl didn't want to flirt with men, but what about Yoona and the others?
Li Yingfu didn't dare to disturb Li Zhixuan, but seeing that the time was up, he could only carefully touch Li Zhixuan's arm: "Writer Li, the time is up, shall we start the interview now?"

Li Zhixuan came back to his senses: "Okay, let's start."

There were five people in the conference room at that time, interviewers Li Zhixuan and Li Yingfu, Li Yingfu's assistant, a photographer responsible for taking pictures, and a videographer responsible for shooting videos.

The photos and videos taken can be kept as data on the one hand, and can also be used for publicity on the other.

Zhang Yuanna was responsible for maintaining order and taking roll calls outside.

The interview began. Lin Yuner was the first to enter the conference room. She stood in front of the two interviewers and bowed politely, saying, "Hello, Director Lee Eung-bok. Hello, Writer Lee Chi-hyun."

The two interviewers looked at each other, and Li Yingfu made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Li Zhixuan should ask first.

Li Zhixuan nodded, then looked at Lin Yuner with a smile and asked, "Hello, Miss Yuner, I heard that you Girls' Generation are going to release a new album. Do you have time to concentrate on filming now?"

Damn scumbag! Is this why you don't want to use me?!
Lin Yuna smiled brightly and nodded, "Yes, I can arrange my time accordingly. It will not affect the filming progress."

Li Zhixuan nodded: "Okay. Then can you accept the kissing scene?"
