Chapter 7 The advantage is mine
"Don't worry, Brother Cheng Ying, I will be there on time"
After replying to the temporary manager's message, Chen Chen headed for KBS TV station.
......
It has been half a month since the day he became famous in South Korea for fainting. During this time, Chen Chen's situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Simply put, he was on fire.
Not the kind of popularity as an artist, but the kind of popularity as an Internet celebrity.
After Chen Chen fainted, both himself and IU were on the hot search, and then netizens who were good at it started to tease Chen Chen's "past and present life".
This one. Everyone discovered that this person almost debuted as an idol due to his absolute strength, but was later forced to give up due to family matters. From then on, he could only do odd jobs to make a living and pay off debts.
Now everyone is interested. People on the Internet like to watch others fall into the abyss and then struggle.
Then, a sentence that Chen Chen had taken from a middle school student's composition and casually changed it appeared on the Internet, pushing netizens' interest to the peak.
“You want to hear stories, right? The Internet is full of stories, and the Internet is also full of people who know how to make up stories!”
Netizens are gearing up one by one.
Final result.
Both bored and good-hearted netizens have since started a story-writing contest with Chen Chen as the protagonist. Super-expanded stories of various themes have emerged one after another. For a time, this story The meeting has become a popular event on the Internet.
So Chen Chen became popular. As the universal protagonist of all stories, it was difficult for him not to be popular.
Although it is a pity that as an Internet celebrity, it is not a normal way to become popular.
To put it simply and easily understood, although Chen Chen has no ability, no works, and no fans, He has traffic and popularity, and everyone on the Internet now likes to watch him.
It’s not surprising that the network environment in modern society is such that anyone has the possibility to rise to the top overnight.
Compared to other people who became popular overnight, Chen Chen at least has traces to follow and explanations.
So Chen Chen accepted the result calmly. Although his original intention was to get some information about himself from fans so that he wouldn't make too many mistakes in the future, the current situation is definitely much better than what he originally planned.
Since he is popular, he should look like he is popular; since everyone likes to see him, then let everyone see him more.
This is what the TV station thinks and does, so Chen Chen has been receiving various invitations from the TV station for various types of programs during this period.
What luck! This is an excellent opportunity for any artist to develop himself. After all, such a talent cannot be artificially created.
But what about Chen Chen? For Chen Chen, a patient who has not been able to adjust his mentality after time travel and has not even accepted the world, what choice will he make?
He had no choice but to accept it, so Chen Chen chose to look more respectable and took the initiative to accept the olive branch offered by the TV station.
Life is like being strong. Although Chen Chen doesn't want to lie down and enjoy it, relying on his reason to do things that are beneficial to him is barely an excuse that he can accept.
Now that you have all the excuses, just get on with things. Anyway, the only person Chen Chen needs to deceive in this world is himself.
“Emotion tells me that I don’t want to do anything, and reason tells me that I must do those things in order to survive.”
“Then I will make a compromise plan to ensure that I can survive. Live your life as you please in a good state.”
...
Although the purpose of coming to KBS TV station today was to audition for the male actors in "School 2015", Chen Chen first went to the set of "Producer" to meet director Pyo Min-soo.
Both TV series are produced by KBS, so they are not far apart, and it has something to do with Chen Chen being able to audition for the TV series as soon as he got started. "Thank you for recommending me to Director Bai." Chen Chen gave a gift to Biao Minzhu, "This is my small kindness, please accept it."
Because Due to his recent illness, Waiji didn't have the nerve to continue asking Chen Chen to repay his debt, so he still left some money on hand, and this money turned into a very expensive gift today.
South Korea is a society that is completely devoted to favors, and some favors that money can buy are worth it.
Think about it, wouldn’t it be great if someone suddenly thought of adding a scene to you after filming?
Furthermore, when Chen Chen checked the information, he also found that someone else had directed a ruthless role in works such as "Full House". In this way, even if you are just familiar with it, you can still make money, not to mention that they will give it to you first. a resource.
"You don't have to be so polite." Biao Minzhu pushed the gift aside and said gently: "Director Bai and I are colleagues who know each other well. His current works are related to amnesia and you It’s also related to amnesia, so it’s definitely a wise choice to recommend you to the past.”
“If it’s because of you that his TV series became so popular in the early stages, I’m afraid he’ll have to accept a favor from me.” Pyo Min-soo joked.
"Hahaha, I may not be selected yet, and even if I am selected, it will be a small supporting role that will hardly appear on the list. It is not that important." Chen Chen said modestly.
"Don't underestimate your popularity. It's not easy to be well-known to the public." Pyo Min-soo smiled meaningfully, "As for the results of the audition, I think you shouldn't worry too much. "
"Thank you for your kindness." Chen Chen bowed politely, "Then I will go to the audition as soon as possible."
Biao Minzhu waved his hand and stopped talking.
……
Leaving the filming location of "The Producers", walking through several corridors and turning a corner, we arrived at the audition site of "School 2015".
Many people came to audition, and this was not an opportunity just for Chen Chen.
However, no one is talking here. Every young man is frowning at the script in his hand, maybe still praying in his heart.
In addition to the handsome men who came to audition, there were also a few guys who were obviously agents. They were worried about which role their artists were auditioning for.
As far as Chen Chen knows, the position of the male protagonist has been decided a long time ago, so the artist who came for the male protagonist today can just go back directly.
Uh. Why did Chen Chen know the inside story?
This is
Because the male protagonist of "School 2015" is also from Waiji Company. Although Waiji feels that Chen Chen's status is not enough, he will not send any agent to him. It's an artist assistant role, but if Chen Chen wants some information, the company will still give it to him.
“Preparing a TV series is not a simple matter. The news of the male protagonist should have been spread out long ago, so these people will be my direct opponents if nothing unexpected happens.”
“ In other words, these people are here for interviews.”
"Well, when it comes to supporting players, with many years of experience as supporting players, I have the advantage against newcomers."
After a simple judgment, Chen Chen concealed his expression and sat at the end of the team.
Knowing that he had such a long line of competitors, Chen Chen's heart still didn't waver at all.
In the final analysis, whether he is selected or not, his truest thoughts don't actually matter to him, so naturally there will be no emotional changes.
However, within two minutes of sitting down, the person next to him made an unsolicited comment that made him unable to hold himself tight.
"Are you the Chen Chen on the Internet who has done everything, experienced everything, and has all kinds of strange things in his life journey?"
"Ahem" Chen Chen coughed awkwardly, "Yes, I am the one who has gone to heaven and earth. Chen Chen, who cannot do anything, has traveled through time and space from the future to the present just to earn a role as a sidekick.”
