Chapter Ninety-One: A Splendid Legacy
Kim Jong-kwon lay on the bed and read the script seriously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info there is no usual lazy style.
After a long time, Kim Jong Kwon sighed, put the script down, and fell into distress.
The script that made him so entangled is called "Splendid Legacy", which is a TV drama script.
That's right, not a movie script but a TV series!
Obviously, Kim Jong-kwan is also very entangled in this, because of the rise of his career, he has also received more and more scripts. However, none of them were in the favor of Kim Jong Quan, so they kept dragging it out. The script for this TV series was given to him by his new agent, Park Chang-cheol. The work of an unknown female screenwriter, the director found a newcomer, who had only been an assistant director of "The Painter of the Wind" before.
The reason why Kim Jong Kwon is entangled is not because the script is not good, or the lineup is too poor. On the contrary, he felt that although this script still couldn't escape, some Korean drama routines. But in the arrangement of some plots and details, he was very delicate! And his 'aura' also proved that this is indeed a rare good TV series.
With the guarantee of 'Emmanuel', the reason why Kim Jong-kwan is still hesitant is not entirely because this is a TV series and not a movie. Under normal circumstances, film actors rarely go to make TV series, because making TV series and movies are two completely different ways.
There are generally dozens of episodes of TV series, and the image of the characters can be slowly outlined, and some of the requirements are not as rigorous as in movies. But movies are different, a movie is basically about 90 minutes, and it may reach 2 hours, which is very long, and the audience can't stand it no matter how long it is, which will reduce the experience of watching the movie.
Therefore, to tell a story in one and a half hours is a great test of the director's skills and the actors' acting skills! Therefore, the plot of the movie will be very tight, the performance mode will be different, and the requirements for acting skills will be higher.
And one is a big screen, the other is a small screen, two completely different forms of entertainment!
Therefore, it is all TV series actors who work hard to make movies, and no movie actors take the initiative to drill into TV dramas, of course, it is not without exceptions. It's just that I'm moved by the script, or I want to break through the image, so I will take on the TV script. Of course, don't mention those who can't get along in the movie circle and change their careers to make TV series.
Obviously, Kim Jong Kwon is not the kind of actor who can't get along without a movie, he won the Daejong Award for Best Newcomer, although he only has one work, but he has also received a lot of movie scripts one after another.
There are some big productions among them, but usually even the second, third, and fourth male numbers are difficult to guarantee Kim Jong-kwon, and Kim Jong-kwon's is not very optimistic, so he politely refused.
However, I haven't taken on a new movie for such a long time, plus I fixed a variety show, and I went to the music world to play around. Some rumors have begun to spread outside, saying that he Kim Jong Kwon is just lucky, and he can only have today and win the award by catching up with Su Ji-sub, and he is nothing without Su Ji-sub. said that he was self-aware and knew that his acting skills were not good, so he didn't dare to film, and he began to transform into variety shows and singers by relying on his foundation as an actor, etc.
Kim Jong-kwan wanted to laugh at these words, but it is undeniable that his first work was indeed largely due to So Ji-sub. Even winning the award at the Daejong Award may have some reason for So Ji-sub.
Kim Jong Kwon is not the kind of person who is arrogant, he is grateful to everyone who has helped him, and may even have helped him, not to mention that this person is his eldest brother.
But this doesn't mean that Kim Jong-kwan just pinched his nose and admitted it. He also wants to prove something, and he can endure everything else, but he can't bear it if he only pulls in the people he cares about.
Since the movie has never been what I want to make, or there is something I want to shoot but I can only play a small supporting role, which is not what I want, so if you still want to prove your acting skills, you can only work TV series, anyway, there is no conflict between making movies and making TV series, which is why Kim Jong-kwon did not directly refuse.
Since Kim Jong-kwon decided to do something in terms of TV dramas, why should Kim Jong-kwon bother with this 'guaranteed' script?
The reason is that the heroine in this script is portrayed too brilliantly, completely overpowering the limelight of the male protagonist. The heroine's strong, optimistic, kind, caring, and other yearning for beautiful women can be found in her.
Oh, by the way, the heroine in the setting is still a rich second generation! Although her father went bankrupt not long after, it is an indisputable fact that she is a rich second generation.
On the other hand, the male protagonist is like a spoiled rich man, arrogant, indifferent, unapproachable, and never feels that he has done anything wrong. But he will be coquettish with his family and please his grandmother. Under a series of influences of the heroine, she gradually 'became a good person'.
This kind of scene in which the male protagonist pulls all kinds of hatred in the early stage, and is later changed by the heroine, and then becomes Prince Charming, is not new, and is often used. That's why Kim Jong-kwan thinks that the heroine in this drama is portrayed by the editor too well, if there is really such a good thing as in 'Spiritual Light' after filming, the heroine will definitely be a hit!
Of course, it's just a comparison, which doesn't mean that the actor has no bright spots. Some of the settings for the male protagonist in the script also made Kim Jong-kwan feel a little challenging, and the setting of the plot was also very interesting. In general, it is a completely different character from Suda in "Movie is Movie".
When playing Suda, his already very mature temperament had to be more mature. If this actor is the protagonist, Kim Jong Kwon is afraid that he will not be able to act in the breath of youth, and there is no way that this kind of thing has anything to do with experience. A recent college graduate can be distinguished at a glance from a few years after graduation.
Kim Jong-kwon, who thought about it repeatedly, still decided to take over the script, first, this script is really good. The second is that Kim Jong Kwon really needs to 'practice' one work after another, and his acting skills also need to be carved, not something that can be improved behind closed doors, and it is still beneficial to take on a little more drama. However, since Kim Jong-kwon has decided to take the boutique route, he can only practice with 'TV dramas'.
The third is that he wants to make a TV series with big ratings to plug the mouths of those good deeds!
"Uncle Zhe, help me contact Su Xianjing's screenwriter, just say that I took the script. When can I make an appointment to meet. Kim Jong Kwon said to the agent who was playing with his mobile phone next to him.
"Yes, I see. Are you sure you want to take on this TV series?" The agent Park Chang-cheol confirmed again, and after receiving Kim Jong-kwon's affirmative signal, he stepped aside and started calling.
This time, the script was received by Park Cangzhe from screenwriter Su Hyunjing, and it was not an invitation from the director. The status of screenwriters in South Korea is very high, because a large part of Korean TV dramas are in the form of filming and broadcasting.
This mode can be adjusted well according to the preferences of the audience, and even the number of episodes will be increased if the ratings are good. However, if the ratings are very low, it will be cut in half. The competition is fierce and brutal.
Therefore, the screenwriters all follow the crew to start filming, and modify the script from time to time according to the audience's response, which has a very big right!
This time, screenwriter Su Hyunjing felt that the image of Kim Jong-kwon was very suitable for interpreting this arrogant and unpopular image of the 'rich third generation'.
And director Chen Hyuk wants to use some newcomers to play this 'old-fashioned' story, and feels that there is no need to invite Kim Jong-kwon, and he doesn't think Kim Jong-kwan will take a fancy to such an 'old-fashioned' script. Obviously, even if the director took over the play, he was not very optimistic about this script. It's not that the ratings of this script will be low, if you think so, the director doesn't need to follow it at all.
Instead, I think that this kind of 'old-fashioned' script will definitely have a certain market audience, although it is not novel, but it is very stable, and the results will definitely not be bad. But as any aspiring director, I look forward to the explosion of my work! So although Director Chen He took this play, he didn't have much passion.
So it was in this state of separation between the director and the screenwriter that Su Hyunjing found Kim Jong-kwon's agent and sent out the script and invitation. Obviously, I also have the mentality of giving it a try, what if I encounter a ghost?
It's really a ghost!!
After Su Hyunjing hung up the phone, she was still in a daze, and Kim Jong-kwon's agent called just now, and he actually agreed to take the script! You must know that Kim Jong-kwan is now a well-known 'big name' in the entertainment industry! No matter what kind of script is issued, no matter how big the script is, it is very difficult to handle.
But this time I actually agreed!
Su Hyunjing bit down excitedly, she began her career as a TV drama writer after winning the Best Drama Award at the MBC Screenwriting Competition in 1999. I have written a lot of scripts one after another, but none of them have aroused any repercussions.
This time, she created this 'old-fashioned' story, which is also to cater to the market, but she has added a lot of different things to it with her own perception, and made some old-fashioned changes as much as possible.
It's no wonder that even the director doesn't have much confidence, Su Xianjing is not a famous screenwriter, and the director himself is the first time to direct independently! So it can be said that this is a complete little cast! The director is a newcomer, and the screenwriter has never written a good work, so the actor is ready to find some new actors or idols to deal with it.
turned out to be an unexpected surprise, but immediately Su Xianjing began to scratch her head again, how can they pay Kim Jong-kwon. It's definitely not okay to give too much, the investment is not much, and Kim Jong Kwon alone getting a large salary will affect the unity of the crew.
What's more, Kim Jong-kwan only has one film work, and he invested it himself, and even invested in the salary.
Now Kim Jong-kwon's salary is really hard to set, he doesn't even have a reference, he can't give more, he can't give less, it's really troublesome, forget it, let's talk about it when I meet with Director Chen He tomorrow.
At that moment, Su Xianjing, who was excited, began to call Director Chen He, ready to share the good news with him.
