Chapter 201: The Protagonist Candidate
"President Shen personally wrote it?!"
Shen Zhengyuan said this.
Not only was Kim Young-sub surprised in front of him, but even Director Shin Woo-chul, who had been showing no sense of presence since the meeting, couldn't help but look up at the TV station director in front of him.
Although the director's power in TV dramas is not as great as that of screenwriters, this is also based on the fact that South Korean TV dramas are written and filmed at the same time. In fact, in the filming of TV dramas, the director still occupies a large part of the energy, especially Shin Yuzhe, as the director who has filmed many popular TV series, his own right to speak in the filming of TV dramas is actually not lost to the screenwriter.
Even so, when he heard that the script was actually written by Shen Zhengyuan himself, Shen Yuzhe was still a little surprised.
It's not surprising that he is versatile and can actually write a script for a TV series.
Rather, I thought, is the script written like this really qualified?
Of course, this is also the normal state of people, after all, even if Shen Zhengyuan has proven his ability in variety show performance now, the variety shows launched by TV stations one after another continue to show a popular trend.
However, variety shows and TV series are two completely different worlds after all.
Being able to produce a good variety show does not mean that you can write a good TV drama script.
There are many screenwriters in South Korea who write scripts, but only a few actually come forward. Obviously, it can be seen that in addition to writing a script, in addition to good creativity, the screenwriter's own plot deduction or mastery of the audience's preferences is also a very talented thing.
For example, the popular TV series more than ten years ago has the tragic theme of love and hate. In today's era, it can't be said that it is bad, but after all, it is no longer the mainstream of today's TV dramas, even if it is popular, it is difficult to reach the height of the year, which depends on the screenwriter's grasp of the current audience's taste.
A good screenwriter follows the trend, even a mediocre story can be dressed in a new wine in an old bottle with a matching plot to attract the audience's attention. And the screenwriter of the next point, even if it is a wonderful story, will write an old-fashioned feeling, and it will become a pity for the audience to eat tastelessly and abandon it.
To be honest, I just heard Shen Zhengyuan say that the script of this TV series was written by himself.
Shin Woo-chul's original interest in the script was instantly halved.
He really couldn't imagine how wonderful and touching a story a TV station director could write.
Shin Woo-cheol's inner thoughts actually correspond to part of Kim Young-sub's heart.
He also didn't quite believe that Shen Zhengyuan could write a script that was so wonderful that SBS had to take it down and shoot it.
However, what did the other party say about the president of a TV station, and he personally came to the door to discuss the proposal for cooperation. Kim Young-sub still has to give some face after all, so he vaguely said "Haha, I didn't expect President Shen to be so thoughtful and able to write a script himself, it shouldn't be easy to write such a script." ”
Kim Young-sub's words sounded as if he admired Shen Zhengyuan's creative ability, but in fact, he was also avoiding the trivial and important things, so he could bypass the plot of the script, obviously intending, even if the content of the script was not as expected, he didn't deliberately say anything more, so as to save him more face.
Kim Young-sub's thoughts, Shen Zhengyuan more or less guessed a little.
Of course, he is confident in the script of "Dragon Bayi", especially the plot of the first six episodes he wrote, which can almost be said to be the most exciting part of the entire script story.
So, he said unceremoniously: "Not only the idea, although it took me a lot of time and energy to write, but I have great expectations for the script of the entire "Dragon Bayi", which will be known when Minister Kim Young-sub sees it later." ”
Okay, Shen Zhengyuan said it to this extent, and Kim Young-sub didn't know how to round it, so he nodded with a smile: "Then I'm looking forward to the script that President Shen wrote by yourself." ”
deliberately avoided mentioning the content of the script, and Kim Young-sub immediately turned the topic to the filming of the TV series: "Since President Shen is so confident in the script, what are the requirements for the actors of "Dragon Bayi" for this TV series?"
When it comes to the filming of TV dramas, in addition to the plot of the script, the selection of actors is also a very important part. Especially Shen Zhengyuan, as the actual creator of the script of "Dragon Bayi", his opinions have largely influenced the crew's idea of selecting actors.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the script based on "Dragon Bayi" is really as wonderful as he said.
"The selection of actors?"
Kim Young-sub's question turned Shen Zhengyuan down.
To be honest, although he typed out the script of "Dragon Bayi", he didn't actually think much about the starring role in the play when he wrote it. After all, unlike normal screenwriters who create scripts, normal screenwriters have already brought in the image of the characters in the play in their minds at the beginning of writing the script, and roughly brought in the suitable actors or candidates they like.
How could it be like Shen Zhengyuan, who directly exchanged the entire script in his mind, and naturally had no idea about the selection of the hero and heroine.
However, Shen Zhengyuan can't just tell Kim Young-sub that he doesn't have any ideas about the choice of actors and actresses in the play, so he doesn't just tell the other party that he doesn't care about the script, you as a screenwriter don't have any ideas when you write the script, how can you make others who see the script believe it.
Therefore, on the surface, he pretended to be contemplative, but in fact, he was searching his stomach and thinking about who would be the right person to play.
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Zhengyuan really couldn't think of too many suitable candidates, he didn't know much about South Korean actors, so he simply threw this question back to Kim Young-sub.
Of course, he couldn't just be so stupid and ask Kim Young-sub what kind of candidate he had, but deliberately changed to a more tactful tone, and asked Kim Young-sub as if he was asking: "So, I don't know what Minister Kim Young-sub thinks about the actors who will play?"
Kim Young-sub was stunned by Shen Zhengyuan's dumping.
Isn't that the question I was asking you just now? Why did you ask me again?
Moreover, I haven't even read the script, how do I know what kind of actor is suitable!
Sensing the change in the expression on Kim Young-sub's face, Shen Zhengyuan added at the end: "I just think that if SBS really decides to shoot "Dragon Bayi" In the case of this TV series, Minister Kim Young-sub should also express certain thoughts as SBS TV, after all, this is also for the smooth cooperation in the future, paving the way, so as to avoid conflicts between us and each other on the selection of actors for the TV series, Minister Kim Young-sub can give me a bottom first, and see if the actors in SBS's intention are similar to those in my intention......"
