Chapter 714: Finalizing the Secret Garden
Lee Ji-eun's women's variety show "Heroes and Heroes" aired last week, but Junsu didn't watch the show. Because the show aired on the weekend, and it was after "Popular Songs". Junxiu, who rushed to Japan right after finishing "Popular Songs" last weekend. So he didn't know the effect of the show after it was broadcast, and what the evaluation was?
After all, this show is the first fixed variety show starring his favorite student Lee Ji-eun, and it also has his first actress Liu Renna joining, how did the two of them behave in the show? Junxiu of course wanted to know the answer, so Junxiu asked his agent.
Because now some reports about Lee Ji-eun will almost always be hung with the words 'handsome student', plus caring about the news of his artist, this is what agents should do. So Junsu thinks that if you ask him, he should be able to say something.
However, the agent didn't care about this Li Zhien problem, he shook his head and said: "Oh, that show, I know, but I didn't pay attention to it, because I've been busy helping you talk about the salary of the "Secret Garden" TV series recently." By the way, the TV series has been finalized, and director Shin Woo-chul said that the TV series will start broadcasting in the middle of November, so you will start filming in October. ”
After the TV series is finalized, it is natural to talk about the schedule time of the actors. So what the agent said at this time is telling Junsu that he will start to be busy with the filming of the TV series from October.
Junxiu nodded and said, "Okay, let's bring the script with me when I go to Japan this time." Is the female number one confirmed? Is it really Ha Ji Won's senior?"
"Well, this time it's Ha Ji Won's predecessors who switched to the small screen after winning the box office of 10 million, and both of you are actors with a box office of 10 million, so the enthusiasm of the crew is very high now. I hope this drama won't be smashed at that time, otherwise, you and Ha Ji Won will be humiliated to the extreme. ”
Yes, this drama can be described as a big investment, with 20 million box office actors starring in TV series, and Junxiu already has the nickname of 'King of TV Drama Ratings', if this TV series is messed up, it will not only be the crew who will lose face, but also the two leading actors Junxiu and Ha Ji Won.
"It's really stressful for you to talk about me. I can't guarantee that every TV series I appear in will get high ratings, and there will always be a time when I will be stumped, and luck will not follow me all the time. Don't you understand that?"
"I know, everybody does. But now the media is waiting for you to 'make a mistake' and fall off the altar of ratings. Now that the domestic economy is in recession, you also know that at present, Zhang Dongjian can't get the drama because the salary is too high, so you have now become the highest-paid artist in South Korea!
Nowadays, many TV stations have begun to default on remuneration or something, this Junxiu knows it, especially when even variety shows have begun to default on performance fees, you can imagine how big a problem is with the economy of the TV station. However, Junsu still stands out from the crowd and maintains a salary of 100 million won per episode to shoot TV dramas. In this period of economic downturn, Junxiu's salary is absolutely sky-high!!
Of course, the directors of the TV series are willing to spend such a large price to invite Junso, just for the sake of the ratings myth on him, which has a feeling of 'buying insurance'. So far, whether it is a movie or a TV series, there has been no case of failure. Whether it's last year's "Boys Over Flowers" or "IRIS", they both continue the myth of his super high ratings, so the director's invitation to Junxiu is asking for the feeling of ratings insurance.
Of course, Jang Dong-kyun and Park Shin-yang's salaries are as terrifying as Junxiu's, but if the director invites them, they can't get a ratings guarantee. If the TV series is smashed on them, it is not their acting skills, but the script of the TV series. And Junxiu is definitely not an old drama bone, so as long as he falls from a certain TV series, then his salary will also drop sharply with the fall in ratings!
Ratings determine the market, and the market determines the value of actors. And Junxiu has not failed in film and television now, and its value is leverage!!
When Junxiu heard his agent's words, he could only smile bitterly and shook his head: "Then the supporting role I wanted agreed to it?"
"Yes, Director Shin Woo-chul gave you a position as the female number three. You see, it's.."
Before the agent's words were finished, Junxiu immediately interrupted: "You go back to Kim Young-min to play this role, this is what I gave to Yoo In-na." ”
The actor foundation is not as deep as that of a professional actor company, but there are indeed beautiful actors such as Lee Yeon-hee, Ko Ya-ra, Yuna, etc. So when Jun-so, the 'joint role', naturally wanted to play the idea of this role, the actor entered.
The agent could only follow in the face of Junxiu and said, "Hehe... Of course I know, I'll just bring it anyway. ”
The agent is the sounding board between the company and Junxiu at this time, and he can't afford to offend both parties, so he is only responsible for conveying what the company says.
Jun-so ignored the agent, but made a phone call to Min-hyuk: "Brother Min-hyuk, how are the children lately?"
"There are too many children in the company now, which child are you talking about?"
Minhyuk's recent panicked launch of the girl group, first Hyuna's group, then Jeon Hyo-sung's group, last time Junso's SISTAR who thought his singing strength was good, also debuted, and Lee Ji-eun, etc., these are Junsoo's 'children'.
"Hehe, of course everyone. ”
"Everyone, just like that, you can't make too much money, but you won't lose money, so let's feed slowly. ”
Now the competition of the girl group is too great, and as long as the company does not lose money, it is very good to be able to feed slowly. Without the support of Junxiu songs, it is difficult for them to stand out in the prosperous era of the girl group, and the only way is for them to find a breakthrough point in variety shows.
"Well, I also think that it is better to raise them slowly, so that they can sharpen their temperament more, otherwise they will be arrogant if the success comes too smoothly, and it will be difficult to manage. ”
Minhyuk was speechless for a moment, the main purpose of the brokerage company is to make money, but Junxiu has to polish their temperament first?
