Flipping to the back, Li Shenglin suddenly found a name: Kim Yoon-chul. This name sounds familiar, isn't it the director of the TV series "My Name is Jin Sanshun"?

"My name is Kim Sam-soon", a 2005 South Korean MBC TV Mizuki drama. Adapted from Ji so-hyun's best-selling novel of the same name, directed by Kim Yoon-chul, written by Kim Do-woo, and co-starring Kim Sun-a, Hyun Bin, Jung Li-won, Daniel Henry, etc.

The success of the show lies in its return to the basics to grasp the true mentality of most Korean women, blending comedy and romance, and telling all women through the theme of "no women": even if life deceives you and love hurts you, don't be discouraged, and don't admit that "life is just like this" and grow old ordinarily, but become braver and stronger.

It is worth mentioning that director Kim Yoon-chul uses a lot of long shots and subjective shots in an eclectic manner, the narrative is smooth, natural and lively, and dreams and fantasies are also used just right. In addition, the show's straightforward and wonderful lines catalyzed "Kim Sam Soon Fever" to the height of "Kim Sam Soon Culture", and the Korean ratings of the last episode of the TV series exceeded 50%, becoming the most popular TV series in 2005.

This is a high-level director, and the information given by Jiang Jingmei also states that Kim Yoon-chul made a movie "Pond" in 02, and it has not been released for two years. This is a suitable candidate, as for whether he will be obedient, he has to send someone to contact him.

Lee Seung-rim immediately called Kang Jian-seok and asked him to send his subordinates to contact Kim Yoon-chul on the condition that he could arrange the big screen of the movie "Pond". Kim Yoon-chul quickly responded, and the other party offered to observe the script and meet with the script writer. I don't know much about Kim Yoon-cheol, and Lee Seung-lim is not sure if the other party's response is a good intention.

On the 17th, Li Shenglin came to the place where he made an appointment with Kim Yoon-cheol and met Kim Yoon-cheol himself, which is a teahouse with a literary and artistic atmosphere, and perhaps cultural people like this kind of elegant place to show their temperament. Replaced by Li Shenglin, he prefers to eat the meals prepared by Lao Zhang in Chinese restaurants or in the company canteen, which can not only show his familiarity with China, but also express a feeling.

Kim Yoon-cheol has a temperament similar to Fan Xiaotian at first glance, but not as feminine as Fan Xiaotian, and in the cultural circle with a strong artistic atmosphere, there are many people with a feminine temperament, such as Park Jinying, who looks a little ugly and scary, is a bit of a sissy.

"Hello, Director Kim. Li Shenglin walked over and took the lead in extending his hand after two steps. Kim Yoon-cheol also got up and took two steps, holding Lee Seung-rim with both hands, "Lee Seung-rim XI, hello." ”

The first step of contact between the two sides was a great joy, judging from Kim Yin Zhe's attitude, the other party was still quite interested, and Li Shenglin did not want to put up any shelf. After the two sat down, they exchanged a few words of greeting, and Li Shenglin took out the script and handed it to Kim Yoon-cheol to get to the point: "Director Kim, this script is "Sassy Girlfriend" adapted by me according to my own ideas, and I hope you can watch it." ”

"Okay. Kim Yoon-cheol took the script and flipped it twice, then raised his head and raised his head politely, Li Shenglin raised his hand to signal him to continue, he didn't mind. Kim Yoon-cheol turned it over from the beginning and began to read the script seriously, the whole script is not long, only tens of thousands of words, Jin Yinzhe, a person who has been in contact with words for a long time, reads it very quickly, and it took less than half an hour to turn to the last page after careful viewing.

Kim Yoon-chul put down the script and raised his eyes to look at Lee Seung-rim. Li Shenglin asked with some expectation: "Director Kim, what do you think of the script?" "The story is okay, especially the breakup of the two in the second half because of the opposition of the heroine's mother, which is a highlight, and the whole script can be regarded as laughter and tears, but the script is okay." Kim Yoon-chul's evaluation is very pertinent, and he did not exaggerate Lee Seung-lim excessively.

Li Shenglin is not angry at all, he himself thinks so, the level of the whole script is medium at best, the whole story revolves around the savage woman Li Xiaoli, and it depends on the performance of the heroine Li Xiaoli, Li Shenglin is confident that Li Xiaoli's true colors will show this savage girlfriend to the fullest, as for the plot of the script, it is not so important.

Kim Yoon-chol's impolite tone just now also expressed a signal, that is, he was quite interested in Lee Seung-rim's script, and Lee Seung-rim's entire writing style revolved around Lee Hyo-ri, and he felt that he could give it a try.

"So Director Kim agreed to join the filming of "Sassy Girlfriend"?" asked Li Shenglin tentatively, and asked Kim Yoon-chul to give him an accurate word.

"Since Li Shenglin XI is willing to use me as a director, then I will not refuse. Kim Yoon-chul replied in the affirmative.

Li Shenglin stood up directly with a happy face and stretched out his hand: "Then the director is welcome to join!" Li Shenglin directly omitted his surname in the title, "But I want to say that the ugly thing is ahead, I have to participate in the casting and shooting of the whole movie, and the post-production must reach the level that I am satisfied with." ”

"You're a screenwriter, you can refer to your opinion, there's nothing wrong with that. Kim Yoon-chul said that this was all booked by Lee Seung-rim in advance, unless Kim Yoon-chul did not take the movie, but the heroine of this movie was Lee Hyo-ri, and Kim Yoon-chul wanted to bet that the movie would be successful.

Kim Yoon-cheol's attitude Li Shenglin was very moved, and he shook Kim Yoon-cheol with both hands: "Thank you for the director's understanding, I am also for the sake of the movie being filmed well, my family knows my own family affairs, and I have a picture directly in my heart in the scenes in the script, but I am completely poor in terms of shooting skills, and I expect the director to bother more." ”

I am very familiar with every character in the center of the script, especially Lee Hyori's style is not known after contact in the past two years. Most of the characters in the script need to be played by a specific person, and each person corresponds to a character in reality, which is not created out of thin air.

Li Shenglin's words made Kim Yoon-cheol feel a lot better, he also wanted to make a good movie, if it weren't for the remuneration and fame, he wouldn't want a layman to put him as a director in the air.

……

January 19th at 5 a.m., Mokdong SBS Building, the third phase of the second X-MAN recording last. Controlled by the production team, the final voting result Lee Seung-rim was considered by everyone to be X-MAN. Lee Seung Rin accepted the decision, Yoon Eun Hye looked at the decision table expectantly, and the final decision result Lee Seung Rin was X-MAN.

Yoon Eun-hye's whole person was excited: "I'll just say, he's X-MAN." "During the last shooting, she who paid more attention to Li Shenglin guessed that Li Shenglin was X-MAN, and after leaving, she also sent a text message to Li Shenglin, but she was gaged by Li Shenglin, and now she has finally proved that she is right.

Regarding his thoughts on being X-MAN at the end, Lee Seung-rim said, "I thought about being X-MAN, but I didn't expect to be selected as X-MAN by PD in this issue, so I wasn't prepared at all. It was a bit stressful to be unprepared, and I was a little silent when I was shooting around, and if there was a next time, I think I would definitely perform better. Li Shenglin said clichés, expressing the shortcomings of the present and expectations for the future, and then the interview ended, and everyone went back to their respective homes.

When he met Yoon Eun-hye, Lee Seung-rim apologized: "I'm sorry, Eun-hye." I didn't tell you last time that I was X-MAN. Yoon Eun-hye was not angry about this at all: "That's it, it's okay. Then they exchanged a few pleasantries, and the two left.

After the days were temporarily idle, Lee Seung-rim followed Kim Yoon-chul and began to implement advertising sponsorship for the film. After the funds were in place, he began to raise the entire crew with Kim Yoon-chul as the main player. Regarding the crew, Li Shenglin, a novice who has only been with Fan Xiaotian for three months in total, almost all of them were given to Kim Yoon-cheol, and he just told him his plan to start filming in March and release it this year.

After hearing this, Kim Yoon-chul said that he was under a lot of pressure, and in order to hurry, he didn't have the time to choose the most suitable person one by one, and every time he successfully selected a person, he would bring in several other people through relationships to enrich the crew.

In addition, on the question of makeup artists, Li Shenglin believes that all the plots shown in the whole movie are characters, and this movie is not about characters to interpret things, but things to show characters. Whether the characters in the lens are suitable or not directly represents the quality of the whole movie, which is absolutely sloppy.

However, it took three days to interview several makeup artists, and Li Shenglin always felt that they had empty vision but couldn't grasp the look that they needed as makeup people, and finally reluctantly put this candidate on hold temporarily.

Regarding the issue of this candidate, Kim Yoon-chul vaguely expressed a meaning to Lee Seung-rim, this makeup artist who can satisfy Lee Seung-lin is not nothing, but the salary will not be much worse than that of him as a director, let Lee Seung-lin consider it himself. What to consider? Spending so much money to hire a makeup artist causes the rest of the crew to disagree.

Li Shenglin even planned to increase the salary of the crew members by 30% to hire a suitable makeup artist, and in his spare time, Zhang Wenli recommended his own sister who had just returned from RB to Li Shenglin.

Zhang Wenli came to South Korea and stayed at her aunt's house, and the hometown of the old Zhang family is BJ, a native of BJ for four generations. Zhang Wenli's aunt married to South Korea from BJ in her early years, and the old Zhang's brothers and sisters who were still at home were not close, and then Zhang Wenli's uncle died early, leaving an inheritance for orphans and widows, and Zhang Wenli's aunt had no plans to return to China.

It wasn't until Zhang Wenli planned to come to South Korea to study and plan to live at her aunt's house that they got closer. Zhang Wenli's sister is her aunt's daughter, who is three years younger than Zhang Wenli, but she was born in 83 with Li Shenglin.

"Then let your sister come to the company tomorrow for my interview, and if she can meet my satisfaction, I will give her a chance. Li Shenglin said, and then she remembered that she didn't know what Zhang Wenli's sister's name was: "What's your sister's name?"

"Du Li! Li is a beautiful Li like me. Zhang Wenli said.

"Hmm, what?" Li Shenglin was stunned for a moment, what Zhang Wenli said just now was in Chinese.

"My aunt taught her Chinese since she was a child, and after I came to Korea, she pestered me to give her a Chinese name, and I chose a name that is more popular in China according to the homonym of her Korean name. Zhang Wenli naturally understood that Li Shenglin was not behind his ears, and explained the reason to him.

"It turns out that this is the case, there are very few surnames Du in South Korea, and I have already given her 50 points for this name. Li Shenglin blinked his eyes, being in a foreign country, no matter when, Li Shenglin still felt that the Chinese were kind, which is why he arranged Zhang Wenli's father and daughter in the company.
