Chapter 66: Being the Company Representative > Let me know i

rmers left the stage, leaving a few to keep the heat going. Ji-sung and D.O. dashed backstage with the help of their manager and assistant to quickly change into their EXO outfits. Their performance w...The message immediately drew widespread attention.

EXO and Yuan's fans naturally erupted in cheers, ecstatic with delight.

Anyone who's been following the industry knows that transitioning from idol to actor can be very difficult. Whether a company provides resources and whether they can land roles are uncertain, and even if they do get cast, audiences have higher expectations for idols turned actors. When watching their dramas, viewers might bring biases and preconceived notions.

And when Ji Chang Wook's first television drama, "Reply 1997," became a huge hit, after a year of hiatus, his second drama directly challenged the male lead role in SBS Kim Eun Sook's new work. This literally made some career fans excited and jump up!

They were freely expressing their joy online and in fan groups. Even ** Entertainment, which they had previously been extremely annoyed with, constantly criticizing and insulting, now seemed more tolerable. They felt that ** had put a lot of effort into getting Ji-seong this role.

"He performed well, he's practically a star now."

For a while, **'s reputation has actually improved quite a bit, especially when you see that there's also Jung Soo-jung in the cast list. Many fans are praising the company for giving their idols such good film and television resources, finally letting them shine as individuals.

Many viewers have expressed their anticipation for Ji Chang Wook, after all, last year's "Reply" Yun Jae character was indeed deeply rooted in people's hearts, and his acting has also received a lot of recognition.

Of course, some people have also expressed dissatisfaction and concern, feeling that choosing such a young idol actor as the male lead is too rash, and they don't know what benefits ** has given to the production team.

Moreover, looking at the cast list for this drama, several main roles are all played by idol actors, such as EXO's Kim Kyung-hyeon, f(x)'s Jung Soo-jung, Empire Boys' Park Hyo-sub, and B.A.P.'s Kang Min-heok.

Is this a drama Why put so many idols in it Are they performing a stage play

Many people directly expressed their anger and disappointment with the casting choices, saying that the production team was simply making a joke. They completely dismissed "The Heirs" and believed that Kim Eun-sook's screenwriting myth was coming to an end.

Both viewpoints have a significant number of supporters, and the online debate is quite heated.

Especially fans of EXO and Yuan, with the explosion of popularity of "Growl," their numbers surged to a terrifying level in just under a month.

And they are simply everywhere, you can see their posts and comments anywhere. There are celebratory ones, flattering ones, as well as those that put others down and incite conflict, making the news go viral and known to all.

The fans of other idol actors combined don't add up to as much as theirs, the things they stir up are nothing compared to them.

It has to be said that although the promotional effect is very obvious, it has also caused some people to feel resistant.

However, this heated discussion made SBS and the production team very satisfied. They wanted to see this kind of response, and at the same time, they had a clear understanding of the popularity of Park Seo-joon and EXO, as well as the powerful fighting power of their fans.

It is worth mentioning that after the news came out, some online places had posts of Lee Min Ho fans angrily spraying Park Kyung, but they were quickly submerged in the ocean of Planet fan.

After scanning the online news, Chi Jingyuan also calmed down, sinking his mind into the script. He recited lines and pondered characters, preparing for the upcoming shoot.

…………

"I've already given you the information about several of the main actors, they're all young actors and idols. I believe Jingyuan, with your experience, must have a lot of insight on how to interact with them."

In addition, there are some seniors who are older and more experienced. For example, Zheng Donghuan, who plays Jin Tan's father, was born in 1949 and debuted in 1973. He is a super senior...

"And there's Kim Sun-yeong, who plays Jin Tan's mother. Born in 1967, she won the Peninsula Miss Korea title in 1988, so she's also a senior predecessor..."

In the chauffeured car, the assistant was driving while Park Jae-san sat in the passenger seat, presenting information to Ji Seong-won using a folder, and Ji Seong-won was also intently looking at the same document.

Above is information about some of the main actors who will be starring in the drama "The Heirs." Besides their biographies, Park Bo Gum also added some other special details.

“The meet-and-greet with the actors starts at 9am. Although I've acted in a movie, I'm still considered a newcomer. Would it be a bit late to go at that time The people from my company specifically reminded me to arrive early and greet my seniors.”

Chi Jingyuan sat at the back, looking over the documents while asking a question.

That's because ** has little influence in the film and television industry. Sometimes, they can't properly take care of their idols on set, so they always make it very clear to idols joining a production that they need to be cautious and respectful. While maintaining politeness is definitely right, not everyone responds to that approach.

Park Jae-hyun chuckled and shook his head after hearing this. "Jingyuan, you're different from us. We didn't get in through **'s resources, and you forcefully squeezed out Lee Min Ho to take this position. This kind of news spreads the fastest in the industry, it's impossible to cover up."

And you're still the male lead, the core of the entire crew. Being so careful would only make people underestimate you, and some might even think you're putting on a show in front of them while acting differently behind their backs.

"So we don't need to do that, the time we went wasn't very early, but it wasn't the latest either. It was just right for you."

"However, I didn't mean for you to disrespect your elders. Basic manners are definitely important, and I believe you understand this better than me."

"Inside, rest assured... I feel that Xian Ge is becoming more and more experienced, and he looks like a seasoned entertainment industry veteran."

Ji Jingyuan nodded slightly, then looked at Park Jae-hyeon ahead with sincere praise.

"Haha... all this hard work must be paying off."

Park Jae-hyun laughed heartily, and with a touch of pride, smoothed down his not-so-long hair.

Upon arriving at SBS, Ji-sung walked into the fourth-floor meeting room where the cast was holding a meet-and-greet event. He brought Park In-hyun with him.

"Annyeonghaseyo..."

"Annyeonghaseyo..."

As soon as he entered, Chi Jingyuan scanned the room and found that most of the seats in the conference room were already occupied. Most of the main actors from the film crew had already arrived.

A smile was already on his face before he even stepped through the door. As soon as he walked in, he immediately bowed to the actors inside and greeted them nonstop.

"Oh my goodness, our Jin Tan is here."

The moment Chi Jingyuan stepped through the door, someone immediately saw him and warmly greeted him.

When faced with his bow, several young actors sitting in the front basically stood up to return the salute, while several seniors, although they didn't rise, also nodded towards him, looking like they were impressed.

After greeting everyone, Chi Jingyuan sat down at the spot with a nameplate reading "Jin Tan." This was the frontmost seat, reserved for the male lead.

While Pu was looking for a stool to sit on by the wall, other artists' managers also sat against the wall, each holding a notepad ready to listen.

After Chi Jingyuan sat down, the people sitting closer to him immediately greeted him.

"In person, they look much better than on camera. EXO has been doing so well lately! I especially love the choreography in "Growl," it's so cool."

The female artist sitting next to Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to lean over, smiling brightly and chatting:

"Hello everyone, I'm Park Shin Hye."
