Chapter 397 Perfunctory (II)
In the afternoon, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, a filming base of SBS TV.
Probably because the weather was a little cold and the wind was quite strong, Kim Jong-ming and Krystal hid in a studio on the set of "The Heirs" as soon as they came, and the TVN TV crew and the people on the set who came with them instantly surrounded the space that originally belonged to the creators of the TV series.
"Why can't OPPA go over?"
Just when the male No. 2 Jin Woo-bin was sitting in another corner on the far side of the set, staring at that side, a relatively familiar female voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and when he looked back, it was the female No. 2 Kim Ji-won who was more talkable in the crew.
"Me?" Kim Woo-bin's horse face immediately burst into a smile, and then quickly pulled out another chair from the pile of props next to him, and took the initiative to help the other party wipe the dust on it. "Of course I've already gone to say hello, but the seniors and the TV station are crowded there, and I'm a newcomer, so I must quickly give up my position after greeting...... Sit. β
"Thank you oppa. Kim Ji-won thanked him politely, and then sat down to chat with the other party. "I'm actually the same, and I've been there all along, and I've been reading the script with Krystal for an afternoon to avoid the wind, but as soon as Kim Zhongming's seniors came, there were too many people, so I was embarrassed to continue to spend there, so I could only quickly give up my seat to the seniors. β
"There's no way, cheater-like characters, but they're always so approachable, who doesn't want to take the opportunity to touch them? β
"OPPA means that the life of Kim Jong-ming's predecessor is like a cheater?"
"It's not. Jin Yubin hurriedly shook his head. "There's no point in talking about those things now, I mean this senior himself is a cheater for many Korean artists. β
This is a new word, but it is also ...... Apertinence!" Kim Ji-won tilted his head slightly, as if he remembered something. "Isn't Kim so-hyun's predecessor just because he got on this line and had a good teacher, so he rode the wind and waves? But it's like this in the entertainment industry, our president told me that for a newcomer, the biggest reliance is never acting skills and personal character, but connections, and hugging the thighs with the right person is the most important thing. It's like the predecessor of Lee Kwang-so of our company, who entered "RunningMan" to meet Yoo Jae-seok, Kim Jong-kook, and this before, those days were simply miserable, and now it has only been a few years, and he is already the prince of Asia. β
"That's a fitting example. Kim Woo Bin nodded convincingly. "I used to walk through the show with Brother Kwang-so, and I was a person who shared hardships, but now I am a heaven and an earth...... In fact, many people in "RunningMan" are like this, haha seniors are because they knew Liu Zaishi's predecessors early, so there is no fault in development after the end of service. And Song Jihyo's predecessors are even more so, she was a bad person when she hugged her thighs, so it was useless to take off her clothes, if she hadn't been suddenly appreciated by Liu Zaishi's predecessors and the pds of the SBS TV Variety Show Bureau, I'm afraid she would still be a typical bad woman now......"
At this point, the fast-talking horse-faced Jin Yubin suddenly stopped, and he realized that he was a little speechless for a while. This kind of words, but if Kim Ji-won is a little ill-intentioned, then I'm afraid that a newcomer will be in big trouble immediately, not to mention Baek Chang-so, is the current Song Ji-hyo who he can comment at will?
And besides, this kind of topic is very embarrassing to talk about in front of a young female artist, even if the two have been getting along very well in the past few months.
However, Jin Zhiyuan smiled slightly when she heard this, but she did not shy away from picking up the topic: "Compared with male artists, the ups and downs of female artists in this circle are indeed more dramatic...... After all, no matter where it is, it is still men who really hold the power in this society, and for men, it is no wonder that women in the entertainment industry have some natural capital. β
"Hmph, it's not just an unspoken rule, isn't there another way to say that it is to dedicate oneself to art?" On the other hand, after relieving himself, Jin Yubin, who was holding his arms, still didn't control his broken mouth on the horse's face after all.
"Men also have the voice in the audience and the media. Kim Ji-won also hit the nail on the head. "If Song Ji-hyo's predecessors hadn't had the negative bonus of President Baek Chang-so, they might have really become popular...... The so-called audience and the media hated her at the beginning, but it was not Song Jihyo who hated her, but a woman who was unclear with the underworld boss; now the audience and the media like her, half of them certainly like her performance, and the other half is not like Yoo Jae-seok, Kim Jong-kook's seniors, and the good partner of the seniors over there?"
This is a bit of a penchant and bias. When it came to this, Kim Woo-bin, who provoked the topic and seemed a little cynical, flinched a little for a while.
"It may be a bit biased, but it's definitely nothing to blame. Kim Ji Won held her cheeks and smiled at the other party with a relaxed face, although she still looked small and cute and sweet and lovely, but it made Kim Woo Bin feel a strange sense of sobriety. "Like you oppa, I entered the industry very early, and then I have been in the lower class or non-mainstream circles for a long time, and I only recently found the opportunity to step into the mainstream circles, and they are still on the rise...... At this stage, it is normal to feel more about this, after all, we have all seen more things with our own eyes. β
"Really?" Kim Woo-bin was a little dumbfounded, not knowing how to discuss those 'things'.
"Yes, I don't know what your male artists are at this stage, but female artists are on a threshold. Kim Ji-won stared at the other party's face and said with a smile. "Stand on this threshold, back and forth, and look around...... You will find that there are many people behind you who are looking forward to stepping into this threshold, even at any cost, and in front of you, there are many people who have already entered and are trying their best to think about how to get out, and they will not hesitate to do it...... Being in the middle, you really have to be cautious and cautious. β
"So...... Can I understand that you are jealous of Krystal?"
"How can you not be jealous?" Kim Ji Won was still straightforward. "It's a joke to us women who need to be careful but can affect her for life, but my jealousy has already worn off on Short Legs', and when you get along with each other, Krystal is a really good little girl, and of course it's not easy to mess with...... However, if you bring it up again, I feel more and more that Jin Zhongming's predecessors are more upscale and rare!"
"How?"
"How can I say that? After entering the circle, I have seen the filth and virtue of the big men who seemed glamorous before, but I still haven't heard much bad rumors about this senior. To be able to walk all the way up in this kind of rotten quagmire and be clean and approachable, he is indeed a natural big man!"
"I can only say...... It's all up to your peers. A wry smile erupted on Kim Woo-bin's horse's face. "The company has also been paving the way for me recently, and I have also seen many senior bigwigs in private......"
"But who knows?" Kim Ji-won suddenly shook her head again and denied her admiration. "It's also possible that people's heights are too high, and we can't understand or see the rights and wrongs of that level at all...... Maybe behind his back, this person is really a cold-natured person who is not easy to get along with!"
"I ......"
Just when Jin Yubin wanted to continue, suddenly, the autumn wind, which had been quite excessive, suddenly became stronger, and a gust of wind swept through, rolling at the two of them with dust and fallen leaves, and even the few remaining leaves on the trees on the side were swept in with branches......
In other words, one of these two is a handsome guy and the other is a beauty, and what they pay attention to is a face, at this time, they suddenly ate a mouthful of soil, so what did they reveal to each other, and the mind of getting to know each other was gone in an instant, so I had to quickly get up and go to the back to touch up my makeup.
At the same moment, in the studio at the end of the studio, Kim Jong-ming and Krystal had to suspend shooting, waiting for the strange wind that directly broke through the cover of the studio to blow. And when the wind just eased down, seeing the actors running back to touch up their makeup, Jin Zhongming's heart suddenly flashed a trace of enlightenment...... These people are crowded here, not just to hide from the wind or watch the excitement, they should have known in advance that they were going to come over to accompany Krystal to make a cameo performance, so they put on makeup early, hoping to be able to make an appearance in front of themselves and the screenwriter.
Although these people are indeed very hard, Jin Zhongming, who has been prepared for a long time, may not be able to let them get their wish.
"That's right. Kim Jong-ming regained his senses, simply stopped interacting with Krystal, and turned to the number one person on the set, Kim Eun-sook, the screenwriter of "The Heirs". "I heard that screenwriter Kim Eun-sook wrote a lot of plots for this cameo, and it won't affect the main plot, right? β
"How so?" Kim Eun-sook sat up straight as she brushed the dust off her head, she certainly didn't care about makeup or not. "It's an honor to have an actor come over and make a cameo. The plot is roughly the same as what we said when we talked about it just now, Krystal played the second generation of chaebol Miss Li Baona's birthday, at first I thought that my family and friends had forgotten, but on the same day, his brother came directly to the school to make a birthday surprise for her, and it took three to four days of shooting, but Zhong Ming, you don't know if there is enough time?"
"If you are not rich, you must be rich. Jin Zhongming glanced at Krystal, who was staring at him, but laughed directly. "Her birthday was hacked by me today, and the birthday in the TV series can't be avoided anymore...... But is there anything specific about the characters? Is it just me adding an additional character? Wouldn't that be too blunt?"
"Of course not. Kim Eun-sook had already prepared and pulled out the improvised script she had made overnight from a pile of things under her feet. "In addition to the original characters in the school, there is also a setting for your character's fiancΓ©e, and there is also a business partner who comes with you and wants to use your sister's birthday to marry you, and ......"
Jin Zhongming nodded again and again, looking thoughtful and serious...... Well, he's really thinking outside the box.
"Have all these characters been chosen?" finally waited for the other party to finish the introduction, and then Jin Zhongming asked again.
"Hmm...... What do you think?" Kim Eun-sook seemed to understand what the other party meant.
"I'll invite you on the spot!" Kim Jong-ming said with a slightly playful smile. "Isn't this filming a variety show? On-site invitations are the most common and most popular part of variety shows. β
"Mr. Kim Jong Ming is really good at joking. Kim Eun-sook almost laughed like a flower when she heard this. "The highlight of the live invitation in people's variety shows is that everyone doesn't know if those guests will come, and in our TV drama circle, which actor will not give you face? SBS TV has put down its face this time and let TVN people come to the set!"
"Hey, screenwriter Kim can't say that. Jin Zhongming also laughed. "I'm not a variety show rookie, how can I be so ignorant? Of course I'm grateful to people in the TV drama circle for giving face, but there are always some real big actors who are not even sure about me, right?"
"A real big actor? Mr. Kim Jong-ming won't be the ones who want to invite his own company, right?" The director next to him, Jiang Xinhyo, finally interjected at this time, which can be regarded as getting rid of the image of an invisible person, no way, in South Korea, cooperating with a famous screenwriter to make a TV series is such a pit.
"Your own company doesn't count!" Jin Zhongming hurriedly shook his head, and at the same time simply took out his mobile phone. "What I want is a candidate I am not sure of, and what I want is this kind of stimulation that may be slapped in the face in public!"
The atmosphere in the studio was immediately there, and even Krystal was a little curious and focused on his brother's phone...... Well, everyone is curious, after all, there are really not many people who can remain reserved in front of Jin Zhongming these years, either in their seniority or in their careers.
Of course, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be the case, because South Korea's national conditions are here, and the more blurred the boundaries of the profession, the more you have to divide it into 369 and other plus 28 levels according to the unspoken rules to enjoy it, and the artist is of course the first to bear the brunt. For example, the horse-faced Kim Woo-bin debuted as a model in 08, but he was considered an actor after 11 years of playing a supporting role in a TV series, and he was recognized by the circle after a role last year had a good response and became a 'newcomer'. So looking back, the fact that a guest appearance in a TV series does seem to be a bit of a price drop for a 'real famous actor', if there is a stunned young man who claims to be a movie actor and doesn't come, it will seem that Kim Jong Ming is aggressive.
However, these chaotic thoughts disappeared as soon as Kim Jongming spoke into the phone, and soon everyone understood what his so-called "unsure" was.
"Youbo, Hyo-joo?"
This is Jin Zhongming's first sentence after the phone is connected.
Han Hyo-joo, of course, is a very suitable actor, in fact, this was once probably the best TV actress in Korea, and Park Shin Hye, the star of "The Heirs", is completely inadequate in front of her, so if she can come, she will definitely be able to do it...... And at this moment, in the autumn of 13 years, this former young TV actor is already one of the nominees for the Queen of the Big Bell, and it seems that he is still the hottest candidate.
The so-called time is different from the past, and it is she who is talking about.
You know, women are still very sensitive to this kind of thing, Yoon Eun-hye took a look at the identity of himself, and began to engage in costume design, his own TV series is basically three days of fishing and two days of drying nets; Kim Tae-hee is even more like this from the beginning, in the name of a highly educated goddess, he shoots advertisements vigorously, and he can't get a work in two years on average, "Introduction to Architecture" In the future, there is a feeling of lawlessness, which is not at all like a TV series; the most exaggerated is Jun Ji-hyun, who just announced that he had received a TV series, which immediately made the headlines of Yonhap News Agency, and some fans ran to the Cube building to publicly protest and submit a petition, saying that the company's arrangement completely ignores her qualifications and grades, which is an insult to her, and it is also admirable......
To put it bluntly, this is the case in the Korean entertainment industry, layer by layer, the class labeling is too obvious, of course it can come down, but first of all, resources, in fact, most people are unwilling to come down when they go up!
So in the same way, Han Hyo-joo is now in sight, and she is still in the most critical last week of the golden public relations period, but you let her spend three or four days to have a ...... It can be regarded as an urban wealthy love campus comedy...... Uh, it's such a TV series! In short, you let the family come to such a TV series to play a cameo role in a temporary addition! Moreover, this is not to give you Jin Zhongming, an old partner and a classy person, as a foil, but to serve your sister who has just returned from school and is still a newcomer to TV dramas...... What do you think in people's hearts?
"I guess you'll refuse, right?" asked Kim Woo-bin, who had rushed over after touching up his makeup, in a corner outside the studio.
"I think it's coming, right?" said Kim Ji-won, who was asked, had the opposite opinion.
People who are compatible with two values have come to this diametrically opposed judgment, in a sense, what Kim Jong-ming said before 'what he wants is the stimulation that may be slapped in the face in public' seems to be really worthy of the name.
"How long will it take?" After Jin Zhongming finished talking about the situation, he was a little shocked on the other end of the hands-free mobile phone, and then asked a little cautiously.
"Three or four days...... Are you free?" Jin Zhongming didn't seem to know that the other party had nominated the actress or something, and he didn't seem to know that there was still a week before the official opening of the Dazhong Awards, and he didn't seem to understand the implicit attitude of the other party's question at all.
"Oh!" there was a slightly abrupt response on the other end of the phone, followed by a moment of silence.
The studio was silent, and everyone was waiting to see the show...... I have to say that this wonderful variety show brought by Miss Zheng Xiujing, the third female in the crew, is really interesting.
"I see. After a short pause, the voice came from the hands-free phone again. "It's Krystal's birthday, and you're celebrating her birthday this way, aren't you?"
"Sort of!" Jin Zhongming said with a smile. "Ermao is next to ......"
"Ernie......" Krystal snapped his eyes, smiling rather than smiling, and whispered in a slightly strange voice.
"Happy birthday, Miss Ermao. The female voice on the other end of the line couldn't help but laugh. "Since it's for our 'Miss Ermao', then of course I'll go, I remember that the SBS set was concentrated in Yeongdeungpo, right?"
"yes. Jin Zhongming turned his head to look at the main creators of the "Inheritors" crew next to him, and then looked at Krystal, and the smile on his face became even stronger. "I'll ask the crew to email you the script and I'll be there early tomorrow. β
"Then we'll see you tomorrow. Han Xiaozhu is also simple.
"You won. Jin Yubin shook his head with some emotion. "I don't know whether to admire Han Hyo-joo's predecessor's decision, or whether to ......"
"Should you still admire the strength of the person in front of you?" Kim Ji Won is bold, even if this is not the corner on the other side of the set before, she dares to say what is in everyone's hearts while everyone's attention is on it...... Of course, it is said in a whisper.
The horse-faced Jin Yubin shook his head again, stunned and didn't dare to speak.
"Actually, I'm still a little sure of Hyo-joo. Hanging up the phone, Kim Jong-myung explained to Kim Eun-sook with a smile. "So next, I'm going to have to find a real big name...... Senior, actor, and recognized as a better actor than me, I hope he can slap his face in public!"
Kim Eun-sook laughed dryly, but she didn't dare to speak.
"It can't be Cui Minzhi's senior, right?" someone interjected without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"No, no, no...... I said that I wouldn't look for anyone from CUBE company. Kim Jong-ming smiled while fiddling with his phone. "Of course, it's actually because Cui Min-sik's predecessor is making a movie, and he will definitely have a black face when he is called at this time!"
"Actually...... I have the impression that people like Cui Minzhi's predecessors, as long as they have a friendship, they are very talkative. In the corner outside the studio, the two men and two women in this TV series began to be endless again, and this time it was Kim Ji-won who guessed first. "The actor or something, as long as he is free, he should be very face-saving, right?"
"You don't know this, do you?" Kim Woo-bin finally caught the other party's childish idea and immediately explained in a low voice. "If Jin Zhongming's predecessor is still a newcomer who has just emerged like us, then considering that he is a student of An Shengji's predecessor, then these senior actors will definitely be very talkative. Because in that case, it is called the senior approachable. But now, Jin Zhongming's predecessors themselves are also big actors and big movie stars on a par with them! At this time, men's pride will prompt them to care more about these things...... Not to mention, this is also a call in an informal variety show, and it feels too bad to be summoned with a phone call. β
"The pride of men?" As always, Kim Ji-won still chose to refute this time. "The truth is right, but it still depends on the person...... In today's Korean entertainment industry, who dares to pretend to be a man's score in front of this senior who called on the phone?! Even if there were, he had already been tamed by him in the past seven or eight years. β
Jin Yubin immediately hesitated, but as always, he did not refute.
"Youbo Thiyo...... Did you make the wrong call? Who are you, isn't this the mobile phone of Li Bingxian's predecessor?" At this moment, Kim Jong-ming had already connected the second barrel of the phone. "It can't be Li Minting's senior, doesn't it sound like it? Who am I? Isn't the phone number showing? I'm Kim Jong-ming. β
As soon as the words fell, the female voice on the opposite side panicked, which made Jin Zhongming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and Krystal on the side also followed suitably and made his eyebrows into a figure-eight shape.
It's another good show!
