Chapter 30: Men Over Flowers
Pattern men, flowers.
Cheon Myung-hoon didn't get the scripts for the first few episodes, and he didn't know who the actors were working with. But just the above seven words have already made him fall into a deep entanglement.
This classic, this character, is undoubtedly a high-risk and high-reward challenge!
Kim Jong-ri called at ten o'clock in the evening and told Cheon Myung-hoon to think carefully. Two days later, when I saw director Jeon Ki-sang and screenwriter Yoon Ji-lian, I undoubtedly felt the urgency of the other party.
At the same time, stress comes with it.
To be honest, there is no reason to give up acting. Since it is a remake to pay tribute to the classics, whether it is investment or publicity, it will definitely far surpass ordinary works. As a crossover film and television debut, it is difficult to find a better choice.
And if you take 10,000 steps back, even if you fail to reach the expected value, the ratings and popularity cannot be low with the gimmick of "Korean version of Boys Over Flowers" alone.
Even if you don't have acting skills, at least you still have good looks.
But since Cheon Myung-hoon intends to challenge, it is impossible to just sell his face. The side effect of gaining high popularity gains is to be compared in all aspects.
Starting from the original comics, then to the Japanese version of Naoto Fujiki, Shun Oguri, and the Taiwanese version of Zhou Yumin. Chimyeongxun's opponent is not only himself, but also several predecessors who can be called classics.
It's not something that just plucks up courage to do.
Screenwriter Yin received the task of adapting the script, and he was also very excited. Because big screenwriters have their own dignity, they are embarrassed and unwilling to rub this kind of light. But for ordinary screenwriters, this is undoubtedly like pie in the sky.
The general story line and main characters are clear, and all that remains is to pay homage to the classics and add elements that are unique to Korea. As for writing about his own demeanor, he basically belongs to going far.
There are many reasons why Boys Over Flowers are popular, but the core point is the character with a strong personality. The indomitable cedar vegetables like weeds, the beautiful and rich super capricious Daoming Temple, and the flower ...... of the ethereal and melancholy prince model
And if you have to rank it in order of difficulty, it is undoubtedly the flower class, and then Shancai and Daoming Temple.
Tenacity and willfulness can be created through specific events, but the gentle and lonely and mysterious temperament depends on the actors themselves to show this charm.
Although it is not impossible to be performed, due to the age limit of the leading actor, if it is not for the temperament of the actor, it is almost impossible to interpret it by acting skills.
And if the performance of the flower class is not perfect, this trick man will fail halfway. You must know that in the setting of the author's god tail leaf at the earliest, Hanazawa is the one closest to the male protagonist.
Then Daoming Temple, with its cold personality on the outside and hot on the inside, and the strong attributes of the domineering president and favorite wife, defeated the Hua Ze class who was not good at words and expression, and was reversed and promoted to become the protagonist of the comics.
Of course, Qian Mingxun can play Daoming Temple, so the difficulty level will plummet. But the problem is that there are a lot of small fresh meat that can play Daoming Temple, but there are very few who can play Hua Ze.
Daoming Temple is the titular boss of F4, and every time he appears, he brings his own BGM, followed by three men and four younger brothers. As the behind-the-scenes manipulator of Yingde Academy, he is indispensable in everything.
Hua Ze is a dragon who sees the head but does not see the tail, and has to maintain 15 hours of sleep a day. Although he is a member of F4, he is very withdrawn and rarely joins in the fun except for regular parties. Only at a certain time and place will he suddenly appear in the form of a prince.
Although there is not much difference between the classic scene and the shot, Hua Ze's lines are far less than those of Daoming Temple. In the absence of language assistance, only relying on temperament, eyes, and body movements, if you want to compete with the full-fledged Daoming Temple, the difficulty can be imagined.
With the good impression in the hearts of the people, and the melancholy temperament after the return, the fit with the flower class is close to perfect. And Qianmingxun's own super popularity is also an important reason why he can not fall behind in the competition with the male protagonist Daoming Temple.
Regarding the choice of actors in Daoming Temple, Yin Zhilian actually has an intention.
In order to reduce the infinite complaints of the fan base, the best way is to enable newcomers on a large scale!
Although the newcomer has a weak fan base, this drama does not lack attention. It has never left an impression in the audience's mind, just like a pure blank paper, which has a higher carrying capacity for the character's characteristics, and the risk of acting is also reduced!
Although Cheon Myung-hoon became famous at a young age, he is very different from the word newcomer. But Cheon Myung-hoon, who debuted for five years, has been active for a short time. If it weren't for the super adaptability, it might even be less experienced than some newcomers.
So although there is a big difference in fame, the mood for the first time is still very similar. Half-age is also an important factor, and I believe that several boys will soon be able to get along.
Many factors are combined, and all of them point to Qian Mingxun. Therefore, although screenwriter Yin has a lot of power, his preferred idea in his heart has never wavered.
As long as you can determine the next thousand Mingxun, it is equivalent to laying the foundation for success. For the selection of other characters, it is enough to build around Qian Mingxun, and even ask Qian Mingxun's personal wishes.
Although it is not up to him to make the candidates, if Qian Mingxun feels that it is not suitable, it may be discordant in the future, and it is basically equivalent to a veto.
The start time of the man over flowers is tentatively scheduled for November, as the opening drama of early 09. The itinerary overlapped with Cheon Myung-hoon's second series of activities, which would have been a very deadly conflict.
After all, Cheon Myung-hoon's main job is a singer, and fans have been looking forward to it for two years, and the news has been announced at the meeting. If the return time is postponed due to filming, it will still have some impact.
But fortunately, the situation of the flower class is special.,A considerable part of them are alone.,Or interact with the heroine alone.。 Therefore, the crew decided to fully cooperate and focus on filming Cheon Myung-hoon's scene.
This is already a very big benefit!
In the end, in order to alleviate Cheon Myung-hoon's psychological burden, screenwriter Yoon also gave a very unconventional promise. If he has an idea for the plot, he can bring it up as he pleases.
After all, this may involve the first kiss on the screen. Qian Mingxun has thousands of female fans, and no one dares to say what the consequences of kissing him will be. Therefore, this kind of lens should be based on feedback, and then the final decision will be made at that time.
As for his own identity as a singer, he is backed by the resources of the loen company and is convenient in the post-production of OST...... That's a trifle in comparison!
After a few days of short reflection, Cheon Myung-hoon decided to take on the challenge. Since the recent signing of Kim Hyun-ah, together with the partnership BEG, loen's singers will reach five groups.
Five groups are already a near-saturated number, and there will be overlap between the promotion periods of each other. In order to ensure the exposure of the newcomer, Qian Mingxun must give way appropriately.
He knew this for a long time. If Cheon Myung-hoon had a grudge against this, he wouldn't have been so concerned about Lee Ji-eun. Therefore, it is imperative for Qian Mingxun to try to transform, and the heavy responsibility of expanding the territory falls on him again.
