"What about Uncle De's suggestion?"

Lee Jung didn't say what he thought, but first asked Park Seung-deok's opinion.

Park Chengde groaned slightly and said, "What exactly happens next is not up to me, but to you." Xiaozheng, what do you want to achieve, after I know your purpose, I can provide corresponding suggestions according to your purpose. For example, at the moment, you have now become popular, very popular, and have been favored by many companies and advertisers, if your goal at this stage is to make money, then I would suggest that you pause the appearance of film and television dramas, and take advantage of the current popularity to endorse more advertisements and earn more income.

After all, you can become popular in a very short period of time, partly because of your own strength, but also a large part of the luck component.

Actors rely on their works to speak, if you have good works and your works have high ratings, you will be favored by the audience and advertisers. But there are many factors that contribute to the success or failure of a work, and no one can guarantee that the work they starred in will be successful except for those who can predict it, so if you just want to make money at this stage, then I would suggest that you sign more endorsements while your popularity is booming now, in case you lose the opportunity to make money after the popularity falls. ”

Li Zheng asked, "What if I want to improve my status and popularity?"

Park Seung-deok glanced at Li Zheng and said: "It's still the same sentence, good works are the vitality of actors, and actors rely on their works to speak after all." If you want to improve your status and popularity in the entertainment industry, it is impossible to rely on the success of only one or two works. As the old saying goes, 'After a thousand tempers, you can get real gold', the success of one work may depend on luck, and two works also have an element of luck, but after three or four works, this is the embodiment of your strength.

None of the top actors in South Korea have not proven themselves through a large number of excellent works to be recognized by the audience and the industry. ”

After a slight pause, Park Seung-deok said: "Of course, there are risks if you continue to take on works, after all, a work is not completed by one person, there are many other factors, and no one knows whether it can succeed." If your next work fails, it may affect your popularity, and even make the audience question your acting skills, which may eventually lead to a decline in your popularity, advertisers will be disappointed in you, and affect your advertising endorsement.

From the company's point of view, the best thing to do at this stage is not to take on new works for you, but to consolidate and expand your existing status and popularity.

Of course, the company will also consider your own wishes, but it is still the same sentence, what is your purpose, whether you want to make money or improve the status of an actor, your purpose determines your plan. ”

Li Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle De, I don't care about making money, although I am not a rich man, I am not short of money. ”

When Park Chengde heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly.

Thinking of the billion-won bank card that Lee Zheng put in front of him that day, and this billion-won won was only the start-up capital of the company at the beginning, and thinking of Lee Jung's family background and orphan status, Park Seung-deok couldn't help but want to ask Lee Jung how he made so much money in the United States.

"For me, the rise in status is far greater than the amount of money I make. ”

Li Zheng looked at Park Chengde and continued: "Moreover, in fact, improving status and making money are not contradictory, and if your status increases, your popularity increases, and you will naturally be able to make more money." As for some of these risks, where can there be benefits without risks? ”

"In that case......

Park Chengde nodded and looked at Li Zheng: "Then are you going to develop in movies next, or continue to develop in TV dramas?" During this time, the company has received many invitations, including movies, TV dramas, and of course, many variety show invitations, which aspect are you going to start with?"

Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Forget about variety shows." Actors should still maintain some mystery. As for whether to star in a movie or a TV series, the key is to look at the screenwriter, director and script. Just like Uncle De said just now, there are many factors that affect the success of a work, and all an actor can do is to choose more carefully when choosing works. ”

After a slight pause, Li Zheng asked: "Since Uncle De has received many invitations to film and television drama scripts, I wonder if there are any works in it that you are more optimistic about?"

Park Seung-deok pondered for a moment and said: "Basically, I have reviewed all the audition invitations sent to you in advance, and to be honest, the director or production team who invited you does not have much strength or influence. ”

When Li Zheng heard this, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "It seems that my acting strength is not favored by too many people." ”

Park Seung-deok comforted: "Actually, this is also very normal. Generally well-known screenwriters and directors have actors they trust and befriend, and when selecting actors, and even when writing scripts, they will give preference to actors who have worked with them and earned their trust. Xiao Zheng, you have just entered the showbiz and have only starred in two works, if you don't count the similar cameo appearance of "Boys Over Flowers", you actually only have one official work, and it is normal for the screenwriter and director not to take you into account when selecting actors. ”

Li Zheng nodded and said, "Uncle De, I know." Don't worry, I'm just talking casually, and I won't be presumptuous. ”

Park Seung-deok nodded with a smile, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said: "Actually, I happened to see a very good script in the company recently. ”

Li Zheng asked, "Uncle De, is it a movie or a TV series?"

"This is a large-scale historical drama that KBS TV is planning to shoot in the near future. ”

Park Chengde looked at Li Zheng, shook his head and said: "However, this script is not an invitation to you, although the script is indeed very exciting, but this is an invitation sent by the other party to Zhang He, I heard that Zhang He read the script ten minutes later, Zhang He's agent has been operating this matter for him recently, according to the time calculation, there should be a result in a while." ”

When Li Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Park Seung-deok has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he has seen countless film and television scripts, and the scripts that can be favored by him must be very good, plus this drama is a large-scale historical drama specially planned by KBS TV, the funds invested, the production team, and the actors participating in the show must have been carefully selected, and there will be a great chance of success.

As Li Zheng and Li Yunxi once said: The vitality of an artist lies in good works. But good works are not done by one person, they need a good team, and they need good opponents.

Knowing a work with a high probability of success at this moment, Li Zheng will naturally be a little moved.

He groaned slightly, but decided to read the script first, so he asked, "Uncle De, I wonder if you can help me make a copy of that script?"

When Park Chengde heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and looked directly at Li Zheng: "What, do you have ideas?"

Li Zheng nodded and looked at each other calmly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Park Seung-deok looked away and sighed softly: "Do you think about the possible consequences of doing this?"

Li Zheng nodded, looked at Park Chengde, and smiled faintly.

"Uncle De, do you remember what you said to me? You said that the profession of star is like mountaineering.

Since it is mountaineering, you must step on others to reach the top, and if you want to stand on the top, you can't pay too much attention to your feet. ”
