Park Ji-hoon stopped in the conference room on the 17th floor.

After a while, people arrived one after another.

The team for the next film.

It was decided that the preparations for the new film and the promotion of the upcoming film will go hand in hand!

He is only starring in the upcoming "Insiders", and he can participate in promotional activities according to the arrangement, without much effort. On the contrary, this new movie, adapted from the popular comic "Walking with God", is self-written, directed, and acted like "Guanxiang" and "Mingliang Naval Battle", and the two consecutive films, the investment in each of them is not under "Mingliang Naval Battle", a total of more than 40 billion won, which can be said to be the largest domestic investment at present, and the pressure is not small.

It's not the pressure of money and investors - he is an investor himself, and accepting outside investment is just bringing others to play with him - but also pressure from the outside. For such a large-scale movie, any director or actor will be under great pressure, not to mention that the outside world has higher expectations for him.

If he fails, although it will not plummet, it will definitely be a big blow to him.

He is resilient to pressure, and he doesn't care about the money - although "Dragon's Maze" was sold to SoftBank, "Monster Pinballs" exceeded $4.2 million in a single day in the second quarter of 2015, and the creator of "Clash of Clans", the highest record of $4.5 million, is also under his umbrella, and the daily revenue of "War Games: Firepower Era" also remains above $1 million, and his most profitable game is still called a cash cow - but the pressure on the team members is great!

For example, Zhou Haomin, the author of the original comics, although he is also in the team, after talking about copyright matters, he basically enters a state of "practice", and only when Park Ji-hoon takes the initiative to ask, he will speak. A large-scale production of more than 40 billion won, the market is narrow, the actor's salary is not as scary as other countries, and 40 billion won is currently the largest investment scale in South Korea.

After its release, once the box office is not good, any shortcomings will become the responsibility.

So, it can't be said "only", but the director "best" is Park Ji-hoon himself.

After everyone arrived, Park Ji-hoon's first sentence was "Let's get ready for casting".

Some extras, or small supporting actors, etc., are already fine, but the protagonist has not yet been determined.

Interested, but not officially contacted.

Just waiting for his words!

"By the way, the role of 'Kim Ja-hong', I think Cha Tae-hyun's seniors are good, what about you?" asked Park Ji-hoon after everyone discussed.

"Jin Zihong" belongs to one of the protagonists, and in a word, it is "a good old man and a dead ghost".

Cha Tae-hyun's words seem to be quite suitable.

"And, of course, through auditions. Seeing that everyone had no opinion, Park Ji-hoon added.

all need to audition, even Krystal, Yuli, and Yuna, who he used to hand-pick, must also participate in the audition and be recognized by the director and screenwriter.

Although he is the director and screenwriter of this play, the process still has to be repeated, and if Cha Tae-hyun does not act well, he may also be eliminated. It can only be said that there is a greater advantage than others.

Then there are the actors of several other roles.

Another conundrum arises.

"Lee Deok-chun", the assistant of the protagonist "Kang-lim" (Park Ji-hoon's character) in the comics, a woman, the youngest messenger of the underworld, has a straightforward, innocent and cute personality...... Actually, none of this is a problem.

The problem is that in Park Ji-hoon's movies, the heroine is almost always chosen by himself!

Although he didn't say anything this time, who knows if he had an idea, so no one proposed a candidate.

How flexible Park Ji-hoon's mind is, in Krystal's words, he can directly pretend to be a fox with a tail, and he quickly noticed the strangeness of everyone, and then understood after a little thought.

Not to mention, he really thought about it.

Kim Ha-yeon's image and age are very suitable for this role, but her acting skills still need to be honed, after all, she is one of the protagonists.

Forget it, put it aside for the time being, and see if anyone comes to audition.

After discussing the casting, it was the shooting.

There is no need to choose a studio, the film and television base in Jeju Island is just right, and the art team can go over and start work now. If nothing else, "Hell of Betrayal", "Hell of Laziness", "Hell of Lies", "Hell of Fire Soup"...... It takes a lot of effort to set up these hellish scenes, and it also requires a lot of CG - estimated half of the investment will be spent on CG. But you can't rely on CG entirely, for the sake of realism, these hell scenes have to be built by the art team themselves.

Then there is the costume group, the props group...... All workflows are arranged.

Park Ji-hoon's consistent style is used to preparing everything in advance and then doing it in one go.

Just like he did to Zhou Haomin, he was easy to discuss everything during the previous negotiations and negotiations, including copyright fees, plot changes, character opinions, etc. However, once filming starts, Zhou Haomin can put forward his own ideas, but he must not interfere with his shooting!

Many actors and behind-the-scenes personnel who have worked with him will use the word "strong" when they mention him in interviews.

However, I am still willing to cooperate with him.

It's very simple, in the film and television industry, a successful director with a bad temper, a bad personality, or even a despicable person is definitely more popular than a director who is good but has no achievements!

Moreover, Park Ji-hoon's character is better than that of most directors, at least he will not grasp some power and try to play it to the extreme.

The height is different.

This is also his style, and others can't imitate it.

The meeting lasted more than two hours, and it was close to noon at the end of the meeting.

After leaving the conference room, Park Ji-hoon made a phone call to Cha Tae-hyun.

"Ji-hoon?" Cha Tae-hyun's voice was strange, as if he was surprised.

It's no wonder that Park Ji-hoon rarely takes the initiative to call people except for the New Year's holidays.

"Well, where is Brother Taehyun at home?" Park Ji-hoon asked directly.

"At home!" Cha Tae-hyun replied and asked with a smile, "Is Ji-hoon coming over?"

"Okay, is it convenient to go over and have a meal?" Park Ji-hoon immediately agreed.

"Convenience is convenience......," Cha Tae-hyun said hesitantly, "It's me who is uneasy." ”

He asked on purpose, who knew that Park Ji-hoon really should come down!

Every time I call Park Ji-hoon to make an appointment to come out to play, I don't have time, what's wrong today?

"Then let's say it, I'll go over with Sister Li Fan. Park Ji-hoon just didn't hear it, and said to himself, "You don't need to prepare anything, just a quick meal." ”

"Okay! I'll talk to my wife. At the end of the direct call, Cha Tae-hyun was confused.

"What's wrong?" Cha Tae-hyun's wife asked from the side.

I am coaxing my little daughter.

"Ji-hoon is coming over for dinner. Cha Tae-hyun replied.

"Ahh

"Ji-hoon just called me, too!" Cha Tae-hyun explained speechlessly, "He said it would be good to get some of it." ”

I don't know if my wife heard it, so I changed my clothes and went out in a hurry.
