Chapter 312: She's a screenwriter
(This was written in part for an international award over a period of 10 to 11 years, and the key to bringing another profile to Taeyeon.) Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info next chapter back to South Korea, and then will deal with the feelings of the three of Tessini. )
said not to go to Atlanta with Kim Taeyeon, but Hwang Mi-young was reluctant to part with Kim Taeyeon, who had just confirmed the relationship, when Kim Tae-yeon deliberately pretended to leave her alone to buy a ticket to fly to Atlanta, Hwang Mi-young was aggrieved like a child who was deliberately teased and abandoned by her mother, and hurriedly followed her to buy a plane ticket.
Los Angeles is about 1,300 kilometers away from Atlanta, about 880 miles, and it only takes more than three hours for the plane to fly over.
Maybe it was the absurdity of last night that made the two girls consume too much physical strength, and they fell asleep not long after getting on the plane, and they didn't have the energy to enjoy the first aerial two-person world after the two became lovers.
It wasn't until the flight attendant made a radio announcement before the plane landed at the Atlanta airport that passengers were about to land that the two of them woke up.
After getting off the plane and leaving the airport, Kim Tae-yeon and Hwang Mi-young hailed a taxi to Gran Town based on a text message her brother sent her.
Both of them were tired along the way, so they didn't say anything, but leaned on each other to rest for a while. After all, both of them understand that Kim Taeyeon will definitely have to start working as soon as she arrives at her destination to help her brother deal with the filming of the TV series, so she can rest for a while at this time, lest Kim Taeyeon really get tired due to overwork.
Kim Taeyeon had a similar idea in her heart, she learned from her brother that the crew had not started filming yet, saying that it was because of the difficulties encountered in the script and the casting of the actors, so the progress would be stagnant, and she probably guessed that it might be because of the proposal to adapt the novel into a TV series, most of the screenwriters in the United States have not been exposed to such a request, and they don't know how to prepare for a while.
But it wasn't until Kim Taeyeon arrived at where the crew was that she found out that this was not the case.
When he saw Kim Taeyeon coming, Robert Kirkman seemed to see a savior, and as soon as he went up, he excitedly shook Kim Taeyeon's hand and asked for help: "Miss Taeyeon, you can be regarded as coming, if you don't come again, I really can't explain to Mr. Chen." ”
"Don't do that!" Kim Taeyeon felt very uncomfortable being looked forward to by a strange man for the first time, especially being held by him like that, not to mention how awkward it was, so she hurriedly withdrew her hand to persuade Robert to calm down, and then began to ask about the difficulties encountered in the filming progress.
I learned from Robert that the filming of "The Walking Dead" has already begun, but the progress is not ideal, and the plot of the first episode is only about halfway through. However, the main character Rick Grimes and the male number two Sean have been selected, as well as an actor with a cameo role in Morgan, as well as some supporting actors.
But the next problem is that if the plot is based on the plot of the comics and the novels written by Kim Tae-yeon, Andrew Lincoln, the main character of the show, Rick, will have to follow the plot and enter the city of Atlanta, and then encounter thousands of zombies.
The zombie group is not too difficult to manage, no matter what country it is, there are extras, but it takes a lot of time to put on makeup. The problem is that Glenn, an Asian man, will appear in the play next, who will come out to rescue the protagonist after he is surrounded by zombies and hiding in a tank, telling him how to escape.
Whether it is the director or the assistant director, they have no way to choose the actor for this role, because there are very few Asian actors who come to audition, and none of them can meet the requirements of the main and assistant directors.
Although "The Walking Dead" is still being filmed, everyone knows that this is the first zombie TV series in European and American history, so it is very strict in the selection of actors, just the selection of the actor of the protagonist Rick, the crew invited Andrew Lincoln, who was selected after auditioning more than 500 actors, and such an Asian man Glenn is a very important presence in the later stage of Kim Taeyeon's novel, and an Asian must not be selected as the starring role in a so-so manner, so the filming progress stopped, The crew began sending out invitations to Asian immigrants across the United States, hoping they would come to auditions.
It's just that the hope is very good, the reality is not ideal, there are not no Asian actors who come to audition, there are a certain number, but neither director has been able to take a fancy to it.
After the progress was delayed, I happened to meet Chen Yu who called to inquire about the progress, and after learning about it, I happened to know that Kim Taeyeon had gone to the United States, so I asked her to help deal with it.
After knowing such a situation, Kim Taeyeon pondered for a while and asked, "Then have all the Asian actors who came to audition today?" Can you show me there? ”
"When it arrived, some of them were unwilling to give up, hoping that the crew could give them a chance, and they had been staying in a hotel near the crew for the past few days, saying that they were practicing privately and striving to meet the director's requirements, and they should all be on the set. Miss Taeyeon, come with me, and I'll take you to see it. ”
The hotel where the crew was staying was not far from the filming site, and it didn't take long for the group to arrive at the filming set, and looking in the direction pointed by Robert, Kim Taeyeon soon saw about two dozen yellow-skinned and dark-haired Asians wandering around the set, each wondering how to play the role.
"Sorry to excuse me, but can I ask all the Asian actors to come and meet me? "So many people were really dazzled, and Kim Taeyeon didn't want to go to those people one by one to see their faces like a psychopath, so she had no choice but to look nearby, picked up a loudspeaker and shouted at those actors.
As soon as the words ended, the Asian actors walked towards Kim Taeyeon's location.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Who are you? This is the filming site, don't come over and make trouble, okay? What about field workers? Come here and get this woman out of here! However, before Kim Taeyeon could speak, a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap ran over with a red face, snatched the horn from Kim Taeyeon's hand, and roared angrily.
"Assistant director, assistant director, don't mess around, she's here to help solve the problem." Robert hurriedly ran over to stop the guy yelling at Kim Taeyeon, for fear that the petite Kim Taeyeon would be injured by the tiger-backed assistant director.
It's not certain who hurts whom, not to mention that Kim Taeyeon doesn't want to say anything at all, a role has not been selected until now, the two directors and deputy directors have certain responsibilities, and they are still playing big names here if they can't do things well? Either waste or an attempt to use the huge amount of money invested by investors to delay time in order to profit from it.
Ignoring the assistant director, who was angry with Robert and accusing him of being nosy, Kim Taeyeon walked up to the Asian actors and asked in English, "Which of you is an actor who immigrated from Korea?" Sounds like Steve or Stephen in your name? ”
A few seconds after speaking, a man who was more than ten centimeters taller than Kim Taeyeon, about 175 centimeters taller, walked out of the crowd with his hand raised and replied in English, "I am an immigrant from South Korea, and my name is Stephen Won." ”
When she saw this person claiming to be Stephen Won appear, Kim Taeyeon's pupils suddenly contracted, and she immediately recognized the character who played Glenn from the "Walking Dead" clip in her memory, and it was the person in front of her.
"Mr. Robert, that's him! Glenn's role is his! The appearance of Stephen Yuan made Kim Taeyeon a little excited, and she couldn't tell if it was because she saw that she played one of the leading actors in a zombie TV series that was popular in Europe and the United States, or because she met her compatriots in a foreign country, she pointed to Stephen Yuan and said to Robert that he was the best choice to play Glenn.
Stephen Yuan was surprised, he had come to interview for this role five or six times, but each time he couldn't meet the requirements of the two directors, he couldn't bear to lose such an opportunity to perform, he practiced hard every day, hoping to meet the director's requirements.
But after he came to the audition today, he was still killed by the assistant director, so he had no choice but to practice again near the set, trying to see if he could let the director give him another chance.
didn't expect Kim Taeyeon's appearance to suddenly designate him to play Glenn, which made him feel incredible.
"This ......" Robert was a little embarrassed, and turned his head to look at the assistant director, wanting to hear his opinion.
After all, the assistant director can represent the director to a certain extent, and his decision-making is also very important, Robert is just the author of the comics, and he still has to listen to the assistant director and the director in the general direction.
"He? No way! This acting is really bad, let him perform to escape in the apocalypse and save the protagonist, he acted as if he was filming a horse riding blockbuster, there was no sense of crisis at all, he definitely couldn't! ”
"Miss Taeyeon, look at this...... The assistant director thinks no, why don't you change it? Do you choose another one? Robert was very embarrassed, on one side the investor asked to come over for help, on the other side was the assistant director of the show, neither side could afford to offend, he could only compromise and think of another solution.
But Kim Taeyeon lowered her face and asked, "You have the final say?" You're just an assistant director, you haven't confirmed the selection of actors for a role until now, the filming has been postponed for almost a month, and one more day of delay will waste one more day's money, and you are not responsible for the crew's expenses, so you can drag it out so without scruples? ”
"Who are you? Why do you say that about me? Do you know that I can sue you for slander! "The assistant director was a little weak-hearted, because Kim Tae-yeon really got to the crux of the matter.
The main director, Frank Delabant, is a very dedicated director, because of Glenn's actor selection problems delayed the filming schedule, he convened a meeting with the crew, and decided to divide the soldiers into two ways, one side to continue to select Glenn's actors, and the other side he went to the mountains with other actors to shoot other plots, and he didn't dare to delay at all, just because the shooting environment was harsh, and there were a few young actors to take care of, and the filming progress was relatively slow, but compared to the progress here, it can be said that it is very fast.
But the assistant director is delaying the filming progress with a small calculation in his heart.
Because the investors of this drama are relatively rich, they have invested 3 million US dollars as operating funds before the filming has started, in addition to the actors' salaries and other expenses, there is also a large amount of expenses kept in the crew's capital card, the assistant director moved a little thought, and secretly transferred 500,000 US dollars from the capital card to gamble, but lost all of them, and then I thought of using the excuse of slow filming progress and facing large expenses every day to secretly consume the 500,000 US dollars vacancy. Then explain the situation to the investor, and ask the investor to allocate some more money, so that he can start work again.
It's just that I didn't expect that the investor seemed to sense something and sent someone over here to solve the problem, so the assistant director was also a little anxious, so he would have such a big reaction after Kim Taeyeon intervened in the selection of actors.
was yelled at by the assistant director, Kim Taeyeon was not angry, but sneered and said: "The investor is from South Korea, and I am also from South Korea, the script of this drama is provided by me, and most of the plots are revised by me and then sent over, who do you say I am?" Do you want me to tell you another piece of news that surprises you? The investor of this drama is my younger brother. ”
As soon as the words came out, everyone present was surprised.
