Chapter 169: Who's Up? (Part II)
On the afternoon of the last day of June, in a medium-sized conference room of CUBE company, Park Ji-yeon and Bae so-ji stood side by side on the central podium in front of them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the back row of the conference room, the presidents of the two idols, Kim Kwang-so, the president of CCM Entertainment Agency, and Park Jin-young, the president of JYP Entertainment Agency, are also sitting side by side at the moment. Beside and behind them are the artist management directors, agents, and assistants of their respective companies...... In short, there are more than a dozen people on both sides, and the momentum is quite sufficient, but everyone has a dull expression, wandering out of the world, and I don't know what they are here for.
As for the core part of the conference room, that is, the position in the first row, there are actually only three people seated, and all of them are wearing black-rimmed glasses, which is much more difficult than the group of people in the back...... Well, the three are Kim Jong-myung, the director of CUBE Company's new film "Introduction to Architecture", screenwriter Lee Yong-joo, and Bong Joon-ho, who seems to have nothing to do with the movie, because he hasn't worked for a long time and even has some fortune. At this moment, the other two of the three also had sluggish expressions, only Bong Joon-ho, the top Korean director, sat in the middle of the first row in a grand manner, talking chiseledly, dancing, and commenting, not knowing what he was saying.
Well, here is the casting scene of the movie "Introduction to Architecture", saying that it is casting, but in fact, there are only two candidates, it is Suzy and Ji-yeon, and the selected role is only one of the four protagonists.
In other words, in this movie, the time range spans fifteen years, in order to reflect the changes of people and the permanence of architecture, after thinking about it, Kim Jong-ming and Li Yong-ju unanimously decided - the same pair of lovers, fifteen years ago, when they fell in love in their freshman year, were played by two actors, and now fifteen years later, another pair of actors are used to play.
And at this moment, the role that Ji-yeon and Suzy are competing for is the heroine who fell in love for the first time in her freshman year.
As for...... The reason why there are these two people is very simple, each of these two people has an extremely strong supporter behind them. Among them, the original screenwriter of the movie, Lee Yong fell in love with Bae so-ji at a glance, and Kim Jong-myung, who is a director and investor, fell in love with Park Ji-yeon at a glance when he was doing variety shows.
The director and the original author, the screenwriter and the investor -- this situation is exactly the stalemate scene that a movie is most afraid of! You must know that the original movie "Fool" was because of the huge disagreement between the original author, screenwriter and CJ in the understanding of the plot, which caused this classic movie of Cha Tae-hyun and Ha Ji Won to be put on hold for several years before it was released!
So, in order not to affect the filming of the movie, as the informant of Lee Yong-joo and Kim Jong-myung, Bong Joon-ho was helplessly pulled over to be responsible for the 'final word'!
"You guys go down and wait a minute!"
Seeing that Bong Joon-ho got what techniques from what genre, and gradually brought up the topic of acting, Kim Jong-myung finally had a vivid expression on his face - he threw the dinosaur and the rabbit off the stage together, and the two people in the province suffered again.
"I can see it!" Seeing the two idols bow and leave, Bong Joon-ho commented unceremoniously. Of course, the so-called first love movie largely depends on their own immaturity, and acting skills may not be used, what they want is that kind of youthful and simple feeling. So, if you want me to decide who is better suited from them, why don't you take a 50 won coin and throw it yourself......! Who guesses heads and who guesses tails?"
Kim Jong-ming and Lee Yong-ju glanced at each other, but neither spoke, but stared at Bong Joon-ho again.
"Okay then, I'll analyze it again. Bong Joon-ho was forced by these two eyes to reluctantly put away the coin and began to get serious. "First of all, this kind of work is first and foremost about the sense of substitution. Speaking of the script, Yong Zhou is from studying architecture, and many of the details in it are what he has personally experienced or seen with his own eyes, and the context of the plot is designed according to the image of the goddess in his mind to a certain extent, and this beauty has continuity and vitality. So from this point of view, if you choose an actor who matches the image of the goddess in the eyes of the screenwriter, it will undoubtedly be more appropriate for the plot!"
Li Yongzhou nodded again and again, and Jin Zhongming also nodded, because the other party's truth is indeed reasonable, actors who are close to the prototype characters are easier to get close to the plot, or maybe closer to the plot, no one can deny this.
"Of course. Bong Joon-ho went on to point out the reasons in Ji-yeon's favor. "When an actor's acting skills are almost zero, the role of her partner is crucial, because in the movie, this partner needs to completely go around the newcomer and assume the acting responsibility that originally belonged to the other party for the other party. So from this point of view, choosing an actress who is more recognized by the male protagonist will get twice the result with half the effort in the filming!"
Jin Zhongming and Li Yongzhou nodded in unison again.
At this moment, Bong Joon-ho finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what happened, this muddy mud was finally harmonious, and both sides recognized that their comments were on the one hand, and both sides were taken care of on the other...... If it weren't for the fact that this movie was pulled by himself, he would never have put his energy into the mud!
"What do you think of Zhong Ming?" Li Yongzhou finally turned his head and faced Jin Zhongming directly.
"I agree with director Bong Joon-ho's point of view. Jin Zhongming replied as usual. "So...... It's better to let the actor come over and see which one he recognizes more, and if he thinks it doesn't matter or Suzy is more suitable, then let's just ......"
"Wait a minute!" Bong Joon-ho reacted suddenly. "It's not Zhong Ming, you have this ...... One of these two children is playing and scolding?"
"When did I say I was going to play the younger version of the male lead?" asked Kim Jong-ming puzzled. "Did you say that?"
"It's such Jun-ho. Li Yongzhou explained beside him. "We have discussed this for a long time, and Zhong Ming hesitated at first whether to play the 'uncle' version of the male protagonist. After all, he has successfully created the image of a young boy in his first love in "Those Years", and there is no need to repeat it. In the past two years, he had no problem controlling the age of the characters in the two movies "Uncle" and "The Crucible", and challenging this role was actually a confident breakthrough for him......"
"Hey!" Bong Junhao held his head with a headache, feeling that the mud he thought he was proud of was actually unconditionally biased towards Li Yongzhou, and this mud was a mess!
"Anyway. Lee Yong-ju didn't pay attention to Bong Joon-ho for the time being, but continued to discuss with Kim Jong-myeong. "You've been praising that actor all the time, I haven't seen it once, so take this opportunity to take a look!"
Jin Zhongming immediately turned around and waved his hand behind him, and Su Xiaoya immediately walked over in understanding.
"Call Bae Yongjun. Jin Zhongming commanded. "Let's just say that I, Director Lee Yong-joo, and Director Bong Joon-ho are all waiting, let him bring someone quickly!"
Su Xiaoya immediately nodded and went out.
"Speaking of which......" Watching Su Xiaoya leave, Bong Junhao quickly changed the topic with a little embarrassment. "Zhong Ming, does your partner in the movie, the middle-aged version of the actress, have eyebrows?"
Kim Jong-ming glanced at Li Yong-ju and then at Bong Jun-ho: "Speaking of which...... I was actually a little hesitant about the two candidates, at first I took a fancy to Han Jiaren, but in the past two days, I suddenly had a new idea and thought of another actor...... Do you want to make a judgment for me?"
Han Jiaren and another actor, Bong Joon-ho instantly felt that he had once again lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, but this time he was obviously in debt: "Then let's hear it!"
In the back row of the conference room, seeing Su Xiaoya leave the conference room, Kim Kwang-so and Park Jin-young, who had been looking sluggish, had some obvious changes in their demeanor, but one became gloomy and the other became relaxed.
Of course, it was Kim Kwang-so who became gloomy, and for him, this matter was too aggrieved from beginning to end. The insult he suffered in the office before, although Kim Kwang-so did it himself...... After all, after working hard inside CJ for more than ten years, he can see the situation more or less, it's one thing for people to give face, and it's okay if you don't give face...... But I was inevitably indignant in my heart, so I was even more imperative about this movie.
And then back to the matter itself, the three alternatives of Girls' Generation were directly driven away, which is certainly a very happy thing for Kim Kwang-so, but the sudden appearance of Bae Xiuzhi really makes him feel nonsensical, what kind of fairy is this?
missa is tepid, that Bae so-zhi is popular, but he only acted in a TV series, how could he be caught by the screenwriter at a glance and completely fallen? With two rabbit teeth, there is still this benefit? Isn't this a typical halfway way to bite the gold? And now, listening to Bong Joon-ho's high-minded talk in front of him, he brought the general direction of the candidate to Bae Su-ji's side, and then thought about the insults he received in vain before, and the three words of unwillingness made Kim Kwang-so more or less put on his face.
However, this matter is very different for Park Jin-young next to him.
You must know that at the beginning, Park Orangutan was actually a little worried, although after Min Xianyi, Suzy is her new daughter, and it is certainly exciting that she got such a good opportunity from heaven, and if she can be the heroine, the benefits will naturally be great......
But then again, Kim Jong-myung has a clear position on the opposite side of Suzy this time. So, it's good to get the role, but if you get a pimple with Kim Jong Ming because of this, it's a bit worthless! So, although I came here with Suzy because I was willing to believe in Kim Jong Myung's work ethic, Park Orangutan was indeed a little uncertain at first...... In case the two people in front of him really got into trouble because of Suzy, and it was not easy for them to turn their faces with Bong Joon-ho's face, and then Kim Jong-ming was young and vigorous, so he turned his head and put the account on his head, and poured his anger on Suzy, and then learned from the previous wave of prosecutors from S.M Company who raided JYP...... What can you do?
But now it's different, and there's no need to worry about anything, because it was Bong Joon-ho, the top Korean director, who pushed the trend to Suzy's side, and it was the actor who came soon who made the final decision...... In any case, if Suzy is really selected in the end, even Kim Jong Myung has no reason to have an opinion on his side, right?!
"Han Ga-hee and Kim Tae-hee ......" When the two presidents in the back had different thoughts, Bong Joon-ho in front was really blind this time. "Two of the best vases in Korea...... One has rich film experience but hasn't made a movie for seven years, one rarely gets involved in movies but has never left the public eye, one is married but pure and moving, one is not rumored to be in love but is more feminine, one is more in line with the atmosphere of the movie, the other is naturally commercial appeal, and even one is the first sister of Zhong Ming's company in which you hold shares (Li Bingxian's company), and the other is your senior sister from the same school, and even the favor is comparable...... How do you let us choose for you?"
Li Yongzhou also nodded again and again: "This can really only be a coin toss...... Let's put it this way, I don't actually have any opinion on either one, Zhong Ming, you can watch it yourself!"
"Then bring it!" Kim Jong-ming suddenly stretched out his hand towards Bong Joon-ho.
"What?" Bong Joon-ho didn't know.
"That coin you just had. Jin Zhongming replied calmly.
Bong Joon-ho was speechless, but he really took out the fifty won coin just now.
Jin Zhongming took the coin, tossed it casually, and then slapped it on his arm: "Positive...... It's Kim Tae-hee!"
Li Yongzhou's mind is not on this, but Bong Junhao looked at this scene blankly, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he really couldn't say what was wrong for a while...... Isn't it himself who said that everything is the same? Kim Tae-hee is good for Kim Tae-hee!
"Sister Xiaoya!" Jin Zhongming got up and said hello behind him. "Let's let Kim Tae-hee come too...... Today, take this opportunity to meet the four leading actors, including the director and screenwriter!"
Su Xiaoya, who had just come in, immediately turned around and went out again.
At this moment, Kim Kwang-so's face was even more grim, and Park Orangutan was even more overjoyed -- although they didn't understand movies, there were still some concepts of the judging criteria for some things, Kim Jong-myung and Kim Tae-hee, it was really a big production! So they attached more importance to this movie! And when they thought that their side was now the lagging (leading) side, their expressions naturally became more vivid.
The first to arrive was the actor who played the freshman year, who was led in by Bae Yongjun. As soon as he entered, the young actor took the initiative to greet the crowd sitting on the side, including Ji-yeon and Suzy, with a smile - they actually knew each other because of the TV series "Dreamhigh". However, this actor is obviously more familiar with Suzy, who participated in the co-performance, and is more familiar with it just because of Eunjing
"Come on, Xiuxian!" Kim Jong-myung, who was sitting in the front, took the initiative to get up and say hello with a smile, and fished the other party from the door, otherwise Kim Kwang-so and Park Orangutan didn't know how long they would drag people to talk. "Let me introduce you to Director Bong Joon-ho and Director Lee Yong-joo!"
Kim so-hyun didn't have time to greet the people here anymore and hurriedly ran over, for him, 10,000 Kim Kwang-so or Park Jin-young are not as important as one Bong Joon-ho.
"How's it going?" After the greetings, Kim Jong-ming affectionately put his arm around Kim so-hyun's shoulder and asked Bong Joon-ho. Pei Yongjun's predecessor is high, with a professional background, excellent acting skills, and a good image, and he was born in the same month and the same year as me. It's just that Pei Yongjun's predecessors have always treated him as a baby, and they didn't dare to let him make a mistake, so he started slower. But it doesn't matter, at the beginning, he was one of the protagonists of the group portrait of the TV series, and then he was one of the protagonists of the group portrait in this movie, and then he will be the protagonist of a TV series in the first half of next year, and then he can try to carry a movie by himself!"
Lee Yong-joo and Bong Joon-ho glanced at each other, then nodded together.
"And ......" Kim Jong-ming suddenly walked up to the podium with Kim so-hyun, who was slightly unwell, and then stood side by side. "Notice that we're almost the same height......
Li Yongzhou couldn't help but slap it, it's true, although it is said that there is a sense of wind erosion in the movie, so different actors should be used, but after all, it is the same person, if some characteristics can be maintained, the effect will naturally be better.
"And the eyebrows are very similar!" Pei Yongjun couldn't help but interject. Actually, the more I thought about it after I received Zhong Ming's call, the more I felt that this was a good opportunity for Xiuxian...... He is very similar to Zhong Ming to some extent, not to mention his figure and eyebrows...... Both of them actually have the appearance of a teenager and a man, which seems to be more advantageous when acting. At that time, through makeup, he deliberately highlighted the feeling of Xiuxian's youth, and in turn highlighted Zhong Ming's sense of maturity as a man...... It was just perfect!"
Li Yongju and Bong Junhao nodded in unison again, everyone is an expert, and naturally knows that what Pei Yongjun said is true.
"Indeed, it's literal. "Li Yongju and Bong Joon-ho both think that this person is a great choice, but it may be that Lee Yong-joo is used to being Bong Joon-ho's deputy, and it is always Bong Joon-ho who speaks. And Zhong Ming said that his acting skills are excellent, and it is not a lie to think about it...... In that case, you can definitely bring an idol to move, right?"
"Of course. Kim Jong-ming answered for Kim so-hyun without hesitation. "Su-hyun's previous starring in 'Dreamhigh' almost brought up seven or eight idols by himself!
"That's perfect. Li Yongzhou finally couldn't help but draw conclusions. "Speaking of which...... Su-hyun, right? Those two actresses over there......"
As soon as he said half of the words, the door of the conference room was pushed open again, and the national goddess Kim Tae-hee walked in with a bag with a little curiosity, and hurriedly bowed her head to say hello after seeing Park Jin-young and others in front of her and Bong Joon-ho and others in the distance...... Kim Tae-hee's status is needless to say, especially when most of the people in the room are men, so everyone is busy saying hello in turn. And the little dinosaur and Pei Rabbit had to bounce up from the chair at the beginning, and then ran over and bowed their heads to say hello.
The scene was a bit chaotic for a while.
At this moment, Bong Joon-ho and Lee Yong-joo looked at the situation at the door and suddenly felt a little strange, but they still couldn't say anything unusual for a while.
Kim Tae-hee deserves to be the national goddess, although the scene is chaotic, she can distinguish the order and priority, and quickly greeted them one by one, and poor Bae Rabbit and the little dinosaur naturally have to be dealt with at the end because of their age and generation.
However, when Kim Tae-hee finally came to Ji-yeon, he suddenly smiled and took the other party's hand: "I really didn't expect it...... I've always said that you're Kim Tae-hee, but I didn't feel angry before...... But today, when I really have the opportunity to play the same person, I feel amazing. Looking at your wrinkle-free face and eyes reminds me of what I looked like when I was a freshman, when I ...... In the blink of an eye, it's been a full decade......"
The audience suddenly fell silent, but many people felt that their brains were buzzing back...... Sure enough, one is undyed lead, pure and moving, one is delicate and amiable, and full of charm. But that's not the point, the point is that these two faces are really like the same person who is ten years apart!
Lee Yong-ju was dazed, but finally couldn't help but take a few steps forward, then lifted his black-rimmed glasses, and looked at Park Ji-yeon and Kim Tae-hee carefully with wide eyes. And Bong Joon-ho couldn't help but look back at Kim Jong-myung's trouser pocket, saying that Kim Jong-ming took his fifty won uh coin and didn't return it...... This hand is really beautiful!
Kim Jong-ming stared at Lee Yong-ju for a few seconds, then suddenly took two steps forward and smiled at Kim Tae-hee in the distance: "But...... Senpai, have you noticed? You are a few centimeters shorter than Ji-yeon. In this case, Ji-yeon can only wear flat shoes when filming, and you have to wear platform shoes as much as possible...... No problem, right?"
"Of course!" Kim Tae-hee, who was holding the little dinosaur's cheek, looked up and smiled slightly. "I'm really looking forward to this movie right now......"
