Episode 773: Kim Young-min who was slapped in the face
Han Shimin pointed to the two documents in front of Li Xiuman, and said very easily: "Director Li NIM, I only found out about this matter this morning, so I asked my subordinates to temporarily collect the information of these two TVs, according to the current situation, their preliminary judgment is that Yuna XI's appearance in "Love Rain" is not good for the company, and if you can star in "Gentleman's Character", it will greatly improve the company's image, and at the same time, it will also be of great help to Yuna XI's actor positioning." ”
Jin Yingmin sneered: "C&C really lives up to its reputation, and it can make such a professional judgment in just a few hours." ”
Li Xiuman waved his hand at him, and then said to Han Shimin: "Why did C&C make such a judgment? ”
Several film and television directors in the conference room were unconvinced, but they didn't dare to choke Han Shimin like Kim Yingmin, so they could only sit with a straight face and protest silently.
Han Shimin didn't care about the anger of Kim Young-min and the others, and turned around and took two folders from the secretary sitting in the back row, one to Lee so-man and one to Kim Young-min. Although Jin Yingmin was furious, after all, he had been in the mall for a long time, and he had calmed down at this time, reached out and took the folder, opened it and put it on the table, and lowered his head with Li Xiuman to look at it carefully.
The conference room fell silent, except for the rustle of Kim Young-min and Lee so-man as they flipped through the papers.
There are not many contents of the document, so the two of them read it quickly, Kim Yingmin closed the folder with a dark face and was silent, Li Xiuman also slowly closed the folder, his eyes swept around the people in the conference room, sighed slightly, and pushed his finger on the folder to Han Shimin, "President Shimin will tell everyone about the content here, let them all learn and learn." ”
Han Shimin took the folder, nodded with a humble smile, and then turned sideways and said to the others: "I actually understand the reason why you are optimistic about "Love Rain". For a TV series, the main creator is the most basic ratings guarantee, Oh so-yeon writer NIM and Yoon Seok-ho director NIM are definitely the gold medal partners in the Korean TV drama industry, after all, their previous cooperation in "Blue Life and Death Love" and "Winter Love Song" have achieved too brilliant results, so with these two alone, "Love Rain" is already half of the success. ”
Everyone nodded silently, everyone is a professional, and they all know very well that the director and screenwriter are actually more important than the actors in judging whether a TV series will be successful.
"And then the actor, Jang Keun Suk XI's popularity is super first-class in Japan and South Korea, if Yuna XI plays the heroine, the popularity will not be bad, after all, it is the face and popularity of our girlhood. ”
Han Shimin smiled and secretly praised Yun'er, Yun'er hurriedly stood up and saluted Han Shimin to thank her, Han Shimin waved her hand to sit down, and continued: "This TV series also has a great advantage, the overseas copyright has been sold last year, and 450 million won per episode is exported to RB, well, there is no cost pressure, it is really a super good for a TV series that has not yet started filming." ”
Everyone looked at Han Shimin a little strangely, shouldn't you criticize "Love Rain" in a big way? Why are you still praising it, and you are still praising it so hard.
Han Shimin smiled, and changed the conversation and said, "The good noodles are all finished, I'll talk about the bad ones below." Do you think that the cooperation between Oh so-yeon writer NIM and Yoon Seok-ho director NIM is really foolproof? We don't think so!"
"These two were indeed gold medal partners ten years ago, but now it's 2012, and it's been 12 years since "Blue Life and Death Love", and "Winter Love Song" was also ten years ago! Everyone, ten years, even the style of idol groups has changed for several generations, can the plot of life and death sadomasochism ten years ago really succeed? South Korea's idol drama viewers are mainly high school students, college students, and young people who have just entered society, will these people like this old-fashioned plot? Everyone here works in an idol agency, will fans like dramas like "Love Rain", don't you know in your hearts?"
Although Han Shimin was talking to others, Kim Young-min felt that his face was crackling. He is the president of S.M, at the helm of South Korea's largest idol agency, and the helmsman who grasps the direction of the operation of Korean idol groups, but he doesn't see that the plot of "Love Rain" is too old-fashioned and out of touch with the trend of the times, which is really embarrassing.
"The producer can not care about whether this TV series can succeed in South Korea, anyway, there is an overseas market, RB has spent a lot of money to introduce, so naturally it has to take the trouble to promote it desperately, coupled with Jang Keun Suk's popularity in RB, even if this TV series is not a big success in RB, it must not be too miserable. Han Shimin tapped his fingers on the conference table, and his voice suddenly became louder, "But, what good is this for us? Does the hot overseas copyright sales of "Love Rain" have anything to do with us? The producer shouldn't give us a penny in addition to Yuna XI's salary!"
Everyone's faces began to turn pale, Han Shimin didn't care about their feelings, and continued to say loudly: "For us, Yuna XI starring in "Love Rain" has no benefit at all, but there are a lot of foreseeable problems. If the ratings in South Korea are dismal, will some people say that the works of Oh so-yeon writer NIM and Yoon Seok-ho director NIM are bad? Will some people say that Jang Keun Suk XI is not good at acting? Naturally, it is the problem of idol actress Yuna XI, who plays the heroine. If RB succeeds, will some people say that it is due to Yuna XI, or will it be able to gain a foothold in the RB film and television industry? None of them are possible!"
Han Shimin paused for a few seconds, and waited for everyone to digest the storm just now before saying: "And "The Character of a Gentleman", the main creators are Kim Eun-sook writer NIM and Shin Woo-chul director NIM, which is also a pair of gold medal partners, which can be said to be the best writer and director in recent years, and Hee-yi's "Secret Garden" is their work. The starring roles are even more concentrated actors like Jang Dongjian XI, Kim Ha Na XI, Kim Xiulu XI and Xi Yi, several actors, everyone, if Yuna can audition successfully, not to mention how much popularity she can gain, Yuna XI's status as an actor is at least stable, and if she takes over the drama in the future, who will dare to talk about her idol background again? ”
After waiting for a few more seconds, Han Shimin suddenly laughed, waved his hand and said, "Of course, all this is based on the fact that Yuna XI can successfully audition, if the audition is not successful, then all this is empty talk." ”
Li Xiuman pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you let Hee-yi talk to director Shin Woo-cheol and directly settle on Yoona's role." ”
Without waiting for Han Shimin to answer, he smiled bitterly again: "Forget it, I'm also concerned about chaos, let's let Yun'er audition by herself, don't embarrass Xiyi for this kind of thing." ”
Han Shimin looked at Li Xiuman, and understood in his heart that Li Xiuman, the old fox, actually wanted Zheng Xiyi to go through the back door, but he didn't want to leave a handle, so he made up for the latter words, if he really didn't want Zheng Xiyi to be embarrassed, he wouldn't have brought it up at all.
However, he still heard other meanings from Li Xiuman's words, and hurriedly said: "What Director Li NIM means...... Let Yuna go to the audition?"
Kim Youngmin's face changed, although he already understood the pros and cons of the matter in his heart, it didn't mean that he was willing to let Yuna play "The Character of a Gentleman", because he really had to accept C&C's suggestion, then Kim Young-min would have no authority at all in film and television, and gave Zheng Xiyi a breakthrough to meddle in the business of Girls' Generation. As for the loss of interests, anyway, the value of an idol actor like Yuna is not high, and the company that shares the remuneration income only accounts for a small head, so no matter how much you lose, you can't lose anything, and you can make up for it just by taking two commercial performances.
For Kim Young-min, the best result now is that Yuna will neither appear in "Love Rain" nor "A Gentleman's Character", but he must not explicitly prevent Yuna from auditioning, so at least he can't let Jung Hee-yi really persuade the director to directly decide on the role.
Jin Yingmin hurriedly interjected: "Director Li, do you want to think about it again, after all, "The Character of a Gentleman" is only a third female over there, and there are not many scenes, Yuna doesn't talk about the heroine now, at least she has to be a second female lead." ”
Han Shimin frowned, but did not immediately refute, today he has been in the limelight enough, and he has trained the people of Kim Yingmin's family like grandsons, and it would be too much to be aggressive.
Li Xiuman also frowned, looked up at Han Shimin and said, "President Shimin, are there any other more important roles?"
Han Shimin smiled bitterly: "Director Li NIM, even Xiyi can only play a second male ...... in this play."
Li Xiuman patted his forehead, "Oops, I'm confused, Miane, President Shimin, when I didn't say it." ”
Seeing this, Kim Young-min had no choice but to say: "I'll let Park Yong-so arrange the audition, Director Lee, President Se-min doesn't have to worry about these little things." ”
Han Shimin felt a little wrong, but Yuna's itinerary was all in charge of Kim Youngmin's side, and it was naturally impossible for him as the president of C&C to really interfere, so he had to nod and say, "Then it's troublesome for President Kim IUM." ”
Li Xiuman guessed Kim Yingmin's thoughts, and said to Han Shimin intentionally or unintentionally: "Isn't Hee-yi Yuna's acting teacher? ”
Han Shimin said, Li Xiuman's request was a bit excessive, not to mention whether Zheng Xiyi had time to guide Yun'er, how could there be a reason for the director to wait, and then make an appointment for the audition when he was ready.
However, he is also a shrewd person, but after thinking about it a few more times, he suddenly understood the meaning of Li Xiuman's words, and couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Jin Yingmin, and then said: "It depends on whether President Kim NIM can spare time for Yun'er, and there should be no problem on Xiyi's side." ”
Kim Young-min secretly hated Lee so-man for being trouble-free, but when it came to this, he could only say with a smile: "I will tell Park Yong-so, President Semin, don't worry, it's just going to trouble Hee-yi." ”
Han Shimin smiled and didn't speak again.
