CHAPTER XXXVI
Liu In-sik continued to complain, and Zhang Che still put on a posture of listening carefully to the juniors, which hooked up Liu Ren-sik's addiction and began to babble endlessly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, TV directors, especially the contracted directors of TV stations, are, to a certain extent, angry. They are not as beautiful as their counterparts on the road of Zhongwu, they can't offend the leaders of the bureau, they can't offend the big-name leading actors, they can't offend the big-name screenwriters, and sometimes they have to be splinted.
Liu Renzhi is an employee with such old qualifications as a newcomer, and he is a little angry when he talks about it, but Zhang Che is a little overwhelmed - he is here today to discuss the preparation of the TV series, not to listen to the nagging of his seniors, but as a junior, you can't interrupt yet, you have to listen carefully.
In the end, it is estimated that Liu Renzhi also realized that he had lost his temper, and said a little sneeringly: "I'm sorry, Xiao Che, let you listen to my nonsense." ”
"Anyway, the words of my predecessors are good lessons, and I will remember them well. Zhang Che was a little dizzy, and he didn't know what the other party was talking about later.
There was a lot of nagging about what to remember, but Liu Renzhi didn't say anything, he still remembered today's task.
"So, what Taili means, in order to ensure the success of the TV series, the leader spent a lot of time to invite Ji Jinxi to play the male lead in the TV series. This is not an easy thing to do, I don't know what Writer Zhang thinks?" Liu Renzhi didn't care, just said it, what are the consequences, let Kim Yinglan go to the director.
What do you think? What can Zhang Che do, didn't I hear that the last sentence was still "Xiao Che", "Xiao Che", has this sentence been changed to Zhang Che?
It's just that Zhang Che is still a little impressed by Ji Zhenxi, and his impression is not bad.
This is the most outstanding actor who is halfway home, Ji Jinxi only debuted as an actor at the age of 28, but in the next 5 years, he will be a good one. debuted in 1999, first starred in the TV series "Four Sisters of the Doctor" in 2001, playing the role of Han Tae-seok. Immediately after that, he starred in a national TV drama - "Dae Jang Geum", and played the actor Min Jung-ho, which finally won the 2004 Korean ratings championship with an average rating of 47.8%. Although this is a women's drama, Ji Jin-hee has also gained a lot of popularity in it. Then in 2004, he participated in the SBS drama "Million Brides" as Park Moo-yeol, for which Ji Jin-hee won the 2004 SBS Acting Awards Special Male Acting Award and the Best TV Couple Award.
It can be said that Ji Jin-hee, who debuted for 6 years, quickly became popular like a plug-in, although he is not yet a first-line actor, but at this time, he can indeed be called a big name. Moreover, the most important thing is that his age and acting skills are very suitable for the role of Qiu Xiuhan, the male protagonist in his script.
Zhang Che has no opinion on this "big name", but there is a big problem here - in his impression, there seems to be no such "big name" in the starring lineup of "Bad Housewives".
In his script, the character of Qiu Xiuhan is the image of a typical Korean man who is a little sloppy and strong on the outside, and the image of Ji Jin-hee seems to be a little too "handsome".
"Director Nin should have read the script too, compared to the role of Qiu Xiuhan, Ji Jinxi's appearance conditions seem to be too good, right?" Zhang Che raised his own questions.
"I'm not worried about this, Ji Jin-hee is not an idol who eats with his face, and I am still very confident in his acting skills. Yoo In-sik was not surprised at all by Jang Che's objections, and as a writer, it is strange that he did not raise objections at this time.
Zhang Che thought about it and remembered that Ji Jinxi had made a cameo appearance in "Love Operation Group" in the later life, but the man who made a cameo instantly dumped Cui Xiuying's acting skills for 8 streets, and he was somewhat bottom-notch.
"Well, I also believe in Ji Jin-hee's acting skills, but I hope it ends here. Zhang Che thought about it for a while, and said reluctantly.
Seeing that Zhang Che was relieved, Liu Renzhi also took a breath, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry about this, if it weren't for Ji Zhenxi, it is estimated that I would have reacted like the TV Bureau." "At this time, you don't need to say good things without money, don't affect future cooperation, this TV series can't fail again.
"What about the other actors, do you have anything to recommend for director nin?" Zhang Che doesn't believe this person's words, who can become a senior director in a TV station, who doesn't have two brushes, he is really afraid that Liu Renzhi will also come in with some private goods.
This time, Zhang Che really wronged Liu Renzhi, and this time there was really no private goods involved. It's not that Yoo In-sik doesn't want to, it's that the TV series is launched too quickly, there is only one month of filming time, and at least 4 episodes have to be filmed, but the problem now is that the actors have not yet been decided, and Yoo In-sik has no time to bring any private goods.
For this reason, it is difficult to find better actors now, most of them either have a film appointment or have just finished a TV series, there is an unwritten rule in the Korean TV circle, generally an actor only receives one TV series a year, especially at the starring level. There are only so many TV dramas in South Korea every year, and if you eat them all by yourself, then everyone else will go hungry, which will cause public outrage. And those third- and fourth-tier actors, Yoo In-sik is a little disdainful, if it weren't for the TV station to help finalize a Ji Jin-hee, to some extent, Yoo In-sik really has no way at all, which is also one of the reasons why Yoo In-sik helped the TV station speak.
"That's what I have a headache for, it's okay to say anything else in this play, the key heroine hasn't been decided. Liu Renzhi said with a headache: "Now several actresses on the front line either have movie appointments, or they can't watch TV series." ”
"It doesn't have to be first-line, but second-line? Are there any rookie actors with better acting skills?" Zhang Che was a little strange, why did he have to find a first-line one, how expensive was it?
"The second line? Will the better second line lack TV drama scripts? There are a few outstanding new actors, but they are not very old, and they have to play the role of the early 30s at the age of the early 20s, and no one has this acting skill yet. Liu Renzhi replied to Zhang Che angrily, saying: "I don't want to use the first line either, my acting skills are passable, but it is difficult to serve, but now only these people still have some time." ”
Saying this, Zhang Che was also a little confused.
"The only way now is to find a needle in a haystack. Liu Renzhi said helplessly: "The most soulful character in this drama is the heroine, and I will never give in." Tomorrow I will send interview invitations to major agencies in the name of TV stations, and this time there is no limit to qualifications, so I don't believe that so many actors in the Republic of Korea can't find a suitable actress. ”
Zhang Che thought about it, and it could only be like this. I don't have any connections, and the only actress I know is Son Ye-jin, but this advocate Che is not full of support, so he doesn't plan to provoke him if he has nothing to do.
"We simply did this for all the other characters, and we tried to solve the role problem at one time. Zhang Che proposed.
"It's okay, it's just that you get ready, it's going to be hard. Yoo In-sik thought about it and agreed.
It's just that when Yoo In-sik told the TV station leaders about this idea, things were a bit of a big deal.
I don't know which immoral planner said, instead of this, it is better to expand the scope a little more, make things bigger, and include ordinary people who are confident in their acting skills, so that actors can be selected, and the TV series can be warmed up in advance and create the focus of public opinion. The leaders of the Television Bureau were hot-headed and actually agreed.
Now all the shooting plans have to be changed, the original one-week casting, the four-week shooting plan has become two-week casting, and the three-week shooting. The angry Liu In-sik really made a big fuss in the director's office this time, but what could he do, his arms couldn't hold his thighs, and he didn't know what the director promised, and finally Liu Ren-sik pinched his nose and admitted it.
It's just that Zhang Che and Liu Renzhi have suffered this time, and the casting that was originally scheduled to end in one day has been extended to a whole week, and Zhang Che will have to eat and live on the TV station from next week.
After the TV station announced this socially oriented casting, the general public didn't take it seriously, after all, not everyone is interested in filming TV dramas, and everyone thinks it's good to watch it in front of the TV. But the major performing arts agencies have moved, especially some companies with acting trainees, they don't expect their trainees to be able to mix with the status of female number one and female number two, but the role that can show their faces or the role with a few lines is their pursuit, and for a while, Zhang Che and Liu Renzhi's phones were blown up.
Not to mention Liu Renzhi, an old fox, Zhang Che is indeed the first time to experience these battles. In just three days, he answered a lot of phone calls, and he didn't dare to answer calls that were not acquaintances.
It's just that acquaintances don't let him go, as soon as the news came out, the first thing he received was Park Shin Hye's condemnation call, claiming that Zhang Che had no conscience, since there was a child star role, why didn't he give it to her in advance. The conscience of heaven and earth, when Zhang Che wrote the script, he thought of you Park Shin Hye, but who made him suddenly grow so tall, even if he believed that you acted and pretended to be tender, your height couldn't pretend to be tall. Zhang Che was so good at talking, and he paid the price of 3 meals of ice cream to appease this aunt.
The next call from Park Shin Hye was Yoo Jae-seok, this brother was not for himself, but for Lee Jin. Li Zhen wants to play the second female lead. After hanging up Liu Zaishi's phone, he received a call from Li Xiaoli, Zhang Che thought it was also for Li Zhen's business, but this sister was for Cheng Youli, and Cheng Youli wanted to play the female number one. Zhang Che was speechless for a while, didn't Cheng Youli just finish acting in "The Crown Prince's First Love", why don't you want to rest? And do you know that Li Zhen, who is so favorite? And one female number one is a mature woman in the early 30s, and the other female number two is Japanese, these two sisters, one can't speak a word of Japanese, and the other is a family boy who is loved by her sisters, what kind of fun are these two. Zhang Che can only be perfunctory in the past, and the casting announcement of the TV station said that it is best to have acting skills in the early 30s, and these idols in the mid-20s are here to join in the fun.
What surprised Zhang Che the most was that Park Ji-young, who had not been in touch since returning to South Korea, actually called and pleaded for Seo Hyun-jin with a squeak, Seo Hyun-jin is not very demanding, as long as there is a character with lines, it can be regarded as self-help after being hidden by S.M. This really made Zhang Che sigh, in fact, there was nothing unpleasant between him and Park Ji-young, but the relationship between the two had faded inexplicably. But Park Ji-young squeaked on the phone, and what kind of tone did he want to say but didn't dare to say. Zhang Che directly told her that everyone can come to the interview anyway, the key is to look at the acting skills, if Xu Xian's acting skills are really good, then he will consider it.
In this way, Zhang Che slowly ushered in the interview time amid the endless phone calls.
