Chapter 355: The King's Man
readx;
Another failure!
Looking back at the office building I just walked out of, the luxurious and majestic building, majestic into the sky, under the faint fog and hazy sun above, countless mirrors form a dazzling golden splendor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's a pity that there is no place for him here, he is just an unlucky guy who has been rejected again and again and driven out!
He can't remember how many times it is, or the dozens of times, and in this relatively conservative country, sometimes it is really difficult to stick to his ideals and ambitions. Since he released the news that he was going to direct a same-sex historical drama, those so-called seniors in the circle who didn't know each other at all, had no contact, and had nothing to do with it all popped up, they ridiculed his identity as a comedy director, satirized his incompetence, and some so-called defenders even bluntly insulted his intentions in choosing same-sex themes.
The biggest consequence of this is that he can no longer attract investment, find the production company again and again, eat closed doors again and again, and even the confidence of idle investors in him is extremely insufficient, for a few months, he can't even maintain his daily life, and finally found the investment last year and started shooting, but after the first advance payment came 1 billion, but because of the pressure of public opinion, the investor no longer fulfilled his commitments, so he delayed again and again, and did not shoot much, and now the film is only one-third. And then there was no money...
Now all the pressure is concentrated on him, scraping together, begging grandpa to sue grandma, and even mortgaged the property to get 10 won... Now the crew is unsustainable and in danger, but he has no way back except to hold on.
"Bastard!"
Sitting in a car with a broken exhaust pipe and no money to repair it, when the ignition started, Li Junyi, who was half-bald, raised his middle finger to the building in the rearview mirror!
Then, the phone rang.
"Hey! I'm Li Junyi, who are you? "This is a strange call, Li Junyi doesn't dare to slack off, be careful, in case it is an investor!
"I'm Kim Jun-ho!" Said the person opposite.
"Junho!" Facing his former classmates, his best friend, Lee Jun-yi doesn't know what to say, Kim Jun-ho has made three movies in the past two years, and all of them have been successful, although he is down-and-out now, the more down-and-out he is, the more he doesn't want him to see himself like this.
"Are you looking for someone to invest!"
"You know everything..." Li Junyi felt a little bitter in his heart, it seems that he has really become famous for a while.
"Didn't we talk about it at the beginning..." Although the two haven't seen each other for many years, the friendship has not become thin because of the passage of time, but it is like wine, and the more it is brewed, the older it gets, but now how can he see his former friends with the face of this, you must know that when he was down, he still helped him by himself! It's really one of the moments.
Li Junyi did not refuse Jin Junhao's help, after all, he is so old, he is no longer the stunned young man who broke into the world at the beginning, and he knows that his career is difficult, which is also a good intention of others, not to mention that he is indeed the time when he needs help the most.
"Our company has merged into a new company, AWM, and there will be an opening cocktail party, and the president is half of my apprentice, so I will introduce you to it."
"New company?"
"yes, I think he'll be interested. ・・・”
"Thank you..." Li Junyi's lips were a little dry.
"What do we need to say thank you, don't think that if you change your number, you're not friends, and I'm not doing this to repay your favor, if friends don't even have the most basic mutual help, what kind of friends are they!" Kim Junhao also knew that Li Junyi had a high heart and strong self-esteem, so he said so.
"I'll treat you to a drink in the evening."
"Of course you please!" Kim Jun-ho said as a matter of course.
"Yes!"
――
On February 28, driving the car, Li Junyi didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he came to Yeouido, a new company? awm? I've never heard of it...
An Yuxi?
He seemed to know who this man was!
It seems to be the singer called Ahn Woo-hee! Although in the same entertainment industry, there is no intersection due to different industries, after all, he is not a big director, and this person's name is indeed thunderous, his low-key and his songs are equally famous.
Singer turned president of a film company?
Lee Jun-ik seemed to think of something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly thought of his other identity - it seems that he is a master's student in visual film and television communication at Seoul National University, although the visual film and television communication major is not a formal directing major or a film drama major, but it also has a lot of origins, don't forget that his mentor is Professor Kim Hee-jae, who is a group of filmmakers in the early days of Korean film, although no works have been circulated in the world, he is indeed famous in the film industry, and he was a professor of the film department of Seoul Central University, Even Jiang Digui had to bow honestly when he saw him, and respectfully shouted "teacher".
It's just that his talent in this area is as great as his talent in music? That's a problem.
Although I feel a little unreliable, this is my last glimmer of hope.
Mustering up enough courage, Li Junyi spent two days of his own food money to buy a flower basket, well, although it is a little shabby, but it is impossible not to prepare anything, that is too rude, I hope I can rub a meal.
After arriving at the venue, I found that my clothes and the flower basket in my hand were a little shabby, because the people who came here were basically big names, suits and leather shoes or dresses, and the people who greeted them at the door were actually Liu Zaishi, Jiang Hudong, Kim Jong Kook and others!
This is the real gathering of big names and bright stars, Li Junyi said that even the award ceremony of the Blue Dragon Award may not see so many celebrities.
Even Professor Kim Hee-jae came, looking at the radiant Kim Jun-ho, Lee Jun-yi was stunned and didn't dare to go up to meet him.
In the end, it was Kim Junhao who took the initiative to find Li Junyi and took him to say hello to An Yuxi, yes! It's just to say hello, this occasion is really not suitable for talking about investment.
Li Junyi, who was holding the plate, looked at An Yuxi seriously, with a tall figure, masculine and handsome, with a bright gaze, and a very good temperament, looking at it has a feeling that makes people feel shocked, the first impression is very good, and it is really a waste if you are not an actor.
――
In the evening, I just mended my pants for Xiao Jing, and then comforted the little girls, well, like a lion patrolling his territory, after inspecting the territory, An Yuxi sat at the desk, reading the textbooks, and he had been suspended for half a year, and he was going to pick up his homework again, and the lost credits still had to be returned, otherwise he would not be able to finish his studies.
It was also a dream to choose a film major at the beginning, to feel the world and experience different lives, which was a good experience for him.
His four-year college career was not in vain, he wrote three scripts, read a lot of books, wrote a lot of notes, and participated in the production of a lot of movies, at the beginning he just recommended himself to do chores, and then he began to be an assistant with experience, assistant cameraman, assistant editor, and even worked as an assistant director, although it is not a big production, and now he basically has his own set of ideas, in his college career, after reading, watching movies, and internship diaries, he will summarize what he does every day, It's usually a role reversal, what would he do if he was an actor, what he would do if he was a director, he would write it down every day, and in the long run, he would write a notebook almost every month, and now he has 29 thick notebooks on his shelf, these are very precious materials, sparks of thought and inspiration. It is a testimony to his efforts.
It can be said that he spends absolutely no less time on movies than he does on music.
It's just that for him after his debut, one is a career and the other is a hobby, so now, he is going to turn around, and his life experience is nothing more than this.
At the beginning, An Yuxi's loss of voice, in addition to his opponents, there were also Professor Kim Hee Jae and Kim Junhao, they have always wanted An Woo Xi to embark on the road of film, because this is also his current major, but unfortunately, An Woo Xi has reached the top as a singer, how can he still have time to make movies, generally speaking, a person is almost at the peak in one aspect, and looking at his appearance, it is not very time.
And now, at last, he has a chance, because he can't sing, and although it's a bit of a thing, it's true.
When Kim Jun-ho received the notice, yes! It's the notification.
CCM is not a small company, and he is not the only director of the company, but he is the chief director, and his weight in CCM is relatively heavy.
A few days ago, Lee Chen-so held a staff meeting and informed everyone: CCM will be merged into AWM, at that time he was a little puzzled, no, it should be that everyone can't figure out why the thriving and promising boss will ask for everything to be a little brother to others, CCM was originally a sole proprietorship, of course, it is Li Chenzhu's word, since it has been decided, Kim Junhao can only accompany him once.
Until he saw An Yuxi, and Li Wendong, he seemed to understand.
When An Yu smiled at him, he even had a feeling of being fooled, and he had persuaded him at the beginning!
After Ahn Woo-seo returned to China, Kim Jun-ho contacted him and asked him to act or make movies or something in the future, it seems that he has been ready for a long time.
"What movie?"
"A historical drama, "The King's Man"!"
"That's right, this is the work of director Lee Jun-ik, he is a very good historical drama director." Kim Jun-ho is not stingy with his appreciation of his good friend.
"I'm going to read the script first." Although they are acquaintances, An Yuxi did not agree easily, the success of the first movie is of considerable significance to a new company, and he does not dare to take it lightly.
"Okay, I'll introduce the director to you in two days, let's go out for dinner together, and I'll treat you." Kim Junhao added.
"Okay."
"Definitely a good film, I swear it!" Kim Jun-ho pointed to the sky and drew the earth, and swore an oath,
"Then why didn't CCM take this film?" An Yuxi took a sip of green tea and asked lightly.
"Uh..." Kim Jun-ho suddenly stammered, and then sighed deeply.
"President Lee Chen-so said that this movie does not match the image of our company, and you know that our company has been taking a small and fresh route."
"What is it?"
"Same-sex!"
"What!"
Oh, "The King's Man".
An Yuxi put down the phone and smiled slightly, I didn't expect that "The King's Man" had not yet been released, it seems that because of his butterfly, many things have begun to change, but I don't know to what extent it has changed.
“oppa!” Suddenly, two white and tender little hands were on An Yuxi's shoulders, and someone shouted loudly in his ear at the same time.
"Ahh In the air, An Yuxi was frightened, turned around, and saw that the person who came was Jessica, so he knocked on the little girl's head with palpitations.
"Are you looking at something unpleasant? So attentive. Jessica had just taken a shower, and she still had the fragrance of shower gel on her body, and she was wearing a white nightdress like a little white flower, which looked very pleasing to the eye, and she smiled and put her head in front of her, but she didn't know who she learned these messes from.
"What!" An Yuxi rolled his eyes angrily and grabbed the two hands on his shoulders.
Jessica craned her neck, rested her chin on An Yuxi's shoulder, and looked curiously at the book An Yuxi was reading now, her long hair making An Yuxi's neck tickle a little.
"Cut!" After seeing An Yuxi reading the textbook, Jessica was immediately uninterested, she was not interested in these obscure professional materials.
"Are you going to make a movie?" Jessica raised her eyebrows, followed An Yuxi's turned body, and sat firmly on An Yuxi's lap as if she wasn't paying attention.
"It's so heavy." didn't expect Jessica to act like this, An Yuxi's body stiffened, and quickly pushed Jessica, who was sitting in her arms, away gently, and muttered.
“moya!” Jessica stood aside frowning, pursed her small mouth, and puffed up her bun face, not knowing whether to complain about An Yuxi for saying that she was heavy, or not to let her sit on her lap.
"It's so big, how can you still sit on my brother!" An Yuxi suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, and also frowned and said, although she was often so close when she was a child, but now that Jessica is almost 17 years old, there is no need to say much about the embarrassment.
"Why not, didn't you think of something strange!" Jessica crossed her hands on her hips, her eyes stared at An Yuxi, looking at An Yuxi's eyes as if she was looking at a strange person, in fact, she was just trying to hide her own weakness, of course she knew that it was not good to sit on her brother's lap when she was so old...
"What!" An Yuxi was also speechless, and knocked Jessica's head angrily, "What a strange thing." ”
"Yikes!" Jessica didn't dodge the attack, let out a scream, covered her forehead, and looked at An Yuxi fiercely.
"Okay, I'm tired of the day, let's go to bed early!" An Yuxi hurriedly gave a sweet date.
“mua!” Under Jessica's gaze, pulling away her little hand, An Yuxi put a stamp on her forehead, "Now you're satisfied!" ”
"Hmph~ I'm not going out, I'm going to sleep here!" Jessica hummed a syllable from her nostrils and said confidently, coaxing her like a child!
"Oppa, I'm going to sleep with you!" At this time, a crack opened in the doorway, and a small head stretched out, and Little Crystal ran in happily holding a big Winnie the Pooh doll and slippers.
