Chapter 159: About the President's Preferences
Until Fang Hak-gi and Lim Yong-sub arrived at the company, Son Ye-jin still did not leave the inner room, as if she had made up her mind to hide in the wilderness.
Walking with Ha Ji Won to the reception room, as soon as Lee Jae-cheol entered the door, he saw Fang Xueji get up suddenly, bow deeply, and said, "Lee Jae-cheol XI, thank you." ”
"These politeness will be waived. Lee Jae-chul waved his hand and sat down.
Although he is a little stubborn, Fang Xueji is not stupid, and he knows that Lee Jae-chul is dissatisfied with his coercion, so he smiles and stops talking, anyway, he has achieved his goal.
"This is Lin Yongxie, the director of the LOVE Film and Television Production Department, and he is in charge of "Tea Mother". The man introduced. Handing over "Tea Mother" to Lin Yong-sub is not only a test of his ability, but also a full demonstration of Lee Jae-cheol's importance to this drama.
"Hello Lim Yong-sub XI. "Fang Xueji is colorful. Let the head of the production department be in charge of "Tea Mother", he was a little flattered.
"Hello. Lin Yongxie bowed. "I have read Fang Xueji's "Tea Mother" by XI, and it is very good. When Park Myung-hwan set out to buy the rights to the adaptation, he received the task of working on "The Tea Mother". He also knew in his heart that this was a test for him by Lee Jae-cheol.
"Prizes. ”
After a pleasantry, Lee Jae-chul interrupted: "I heard Minghuan talk before, you already have a script?"
"Yes, it was written by my friend Jung Hyung-so. Fang Xueji nodded, "The adaptation of the TV series from "Tea Mother" was also suggested to me. ”
"Where's the progress?"
"11 episodes have now been completed and 14 are expected. ”
"Yong-sub, the script for 14 episodes, how long will it take to film?" asked Lee Jae-cheol.
"If it's an ordinary script, no surprises, two months. But this is a costume drama, and there are more scenes, and the time will be longer. Lim Yong-sub replied.
Hearing this, Lee Jae-cheol thought for a moment, and the other party said: "Wait for you to sign the adaptation agreement, and send the script tomorrow morning, if it meets the requirements, it will save you the trouble of finding a screenwriter." ”
"No problem. ”
"Except for Jiwon, the rest is picked by you, the screenwriter, and the director, and I won't interfere. ”
Fang Xueji glanced at him in surprise, and immediately said more and more sincerely: "Lee Jae-cheol, thank you." ”
For a drama, the role is the most important part. At present, in most film and television dramas, aside from the male and female protagonists' preferred artists with outstanding acting skills, the rest of the roles are either for related households, or for people who have reached some kind of deal with the producer and important people in the crew. The better ones have no acting skills, and the worse ones have nothing.
Originally, Fang Xueji thought that Lee Jae-chul would at least stuff a few of his artists in, after all, LOVE Entertainment was established not long ago, and he urgently needed to increase the popularity of artists, but unexpectedly, he directly handed over the right of casting to himself.
"What Jiwon and I need to prepare, you can explain in advance. Lee Jae-chul said.
"There are circus shows in the play, and there are more plays, and you need to learn to ride a horse, as well as the most basic fencing skills. Fang Xueji replied.
"I can ride horses and I have learned fencing. Ha Ji Won looked at him.
"I can't see that you are so versatile. Lee Jae-chul raised his eyebrows.
"To be an actor, you have to master a variety of skills, and this is what my mentor taught me. She was a little proud, "I used to have to sign up for some training courses every year, and I was not generally tired." ”
"I'm not as good as you in this area, but I can do fencing, but I haven't learned horseback riding. ”
"Call Nuna, and I'll teach you. Ha Ji Won hooked his finger at him, his eyes curled into crescent moons, and smiled.
"Forget it, there is no safety guarantee to learn from you, I will go to a professional teacher myself. Lee shook his head.
"Ahh After speaking, he realized that the occasion was wrong, so he blushed and closed his voice.
Lin Yongxie and Fang Xueji, who witnessed the whole process, have long been stunned.
Are you sure this is the president and the artist?
"Hmm. Lin Yongxie coughed lightly, got up and said respectfully: "President, I'll take Fang Xueji XI to sign the contract first." Fang Xueji comprehended, and also got up to say goodbye.
After the two left, Ha Ji Won stared at the man for a long time and said, "What is the secret between you and them?"
Lee Jae-chul was looking out the window and turned his head to look into her eyes.
"What do you think I'm doing......" Being stared at like this, Ha Ji Won was half shy, half uncomfortable.
"See if you're stupid. Lee Jae-chul said.
"You're stupid!" Ha Ji Won was furious.
"If the secret could be told casually, would it still be a secret?" asked Lee Jae-chul with a smile.
Ha Ji Won's mouth opened slightly, but he found that he couldn't refute it.
"If the script is approved, I will give it to you as soon as possible. The man patted her on the head and left the reception room.
"If you don't say it, I'll ask Hye Kyo myself!" Ha Ji Won muttered as he shook his fist at his back.
On the other side, Lin Yongxie and the others walked towards the film and television company building.
"Lee Jae-cheol, has always been like this?" Fang Xueji said curiously.
"Which aspect?" said Lim Yong-sub staring straight ahead.
"Treat its artists. ”
"Huh. A smile appeared on Lim Yong-sub's face, "LOVE Entertainment has a saying. ”
"'The president doesn't know what male artists I don't know'. ”
"As far as I know, except for BoA, Ha Ji Won, and Kim Tae-hee, who usually see him, are those trainee girls on the third floor. The staff has never seen him communicate with male artists and male trainees. Director Park Myung-hwan also said that it is clear that male artists are more likely to attract fans, but the president doesn't value it at all. ”
It is rumored that there are many female artists in the company who went to the president's office with other intentions, but did not even enter the door, or carefully dressed up and designed a chance encounter, which turned out to be used as air by him, and even a cleaner found that there was a suggestive note inside when he was cleaning up the garbage, with the time and room number written on it. Therefore, we wonder whether the president likes women or not. ”
"This ......" Fang Xueji choked for a long time, and finally shook his head and smiled: "I don't know what people to say." ”
"Then there is no need to judge. Lim Yong-sub said, "You should listen to a story." ”
"Naturally. Although he is a cartoonist, he has many friends in the entertainment industry around him, and he also knows some about the rules.
……
Returning to the president's room, Lee Jae-chul pushed open the door of the inner room, and saw that Son Ye-jin was still pretending to be dead, so he simply stepped forward to pick her up and walked to the outside.
Carefully opened her eyes and found that Ha Ji Won was no longer there, she fluttered like a koi out of the water, and her mouth let out a sad scream: "It's over, how will I get along with Ji Won after that!"
"I've just explained. Lee Jae-chul sat in an office chair and put Son Ye-jin on his lap.
"Really?" Son Ye-jin was overjoyed, "What did you say?"
"You just rest in there. ”
"What......" she hung her head in disappointment, "Jiwon is not stupid, this kind of talk can't fool her." ”
"But you're really resting, what did we do?" said Lee Jae-cheol, pinching her cheek.
"Well, that's right. She suddenly, then grabbed her hair and whispered, "It turns out that I haven't done anything bad, I don't know what to do." ”
"I'm also curious. The man was helpless.
"Maybe you didn't get used to it at first?" Son Ye-jin raised her eyebrows, then shook her head, "Forget it, I'll get used to it slowly." "She only got her new identity last night and it will take a while for her to settle in.
"Are you feeling okay?" said Lee Jae-cheol.
"Inside, it's completely fine now. She put her arms around the man's neck, her cheeks climbed into the peach, and she bit her lip and said, "You want it?"
Thinking of the "accident" that had happened here, Lee Jae-chul shook his head decisively, "Wait until I go home in the evening." ”
"Hmm. Son Ye-jin smiled softly, turned around and leaned into his arms, her expression pleasant.
