Chapter Twenty-Four: "My Sassy Girlfriend" Begins Filming

A few days later, Kim Tae-hyun's admission letter came down, and not surprisingly, Kim Tae-hyun was admitted to three universities at the same time, including the Department of Sociology of Seoul National University, and finally Kim Tae-hyun chose the film and television department of Sungkyunkwan University.

Although the family did not agree with Kim Tae-hyun's choice of film and television department, because Kim Tae-hyun had never let the family worry about anything since he was a child, the family did not say anything more.

After Director Guo read the script adapted by Kim Tae-hyun and was very satisfied, Kim Tae-hyun didn't pay attention to the issue of the contract of "My Sassy Girlfriend", and the rest of the details were handed over to the uncle. It's just that Kim Tae-hyun has to sign the contract, so Kim Tae-hyun came to the studio on the day the contract was signed

On the day of signing the contract, Kim Tae-hyun and Guo Jae-yong came to a hotel together, and after coming to the hotel's box to order food, Guo Jae-yong said, "Tae-hyun, this time I invited you to come mainly for some things about the crew, and there are some things that I don't know and it's inconvenient to say." “

Hearing Guo Zaerong say this, this made Kim Tae-hyun feel a little strange, and then Kim Tae-hyun still said, "It's okay, Director Guo can say whatever he wants, don't care about anything, I'm a newcomer in terms of movies, and you are an elder in terms of age, so in the end, you have to rely on Director Guo to control it." “

Guo Zairong hurriedly said, "Taixian, you are so serious, as the screenwriter of this drama, you should need your guidance in many places, but you also know that for various reasons, we can't shoot this movie according to Hollywood standards, so there are some places that need you to include more." “

Hearing Guo Jae-yong say this, Kim Tae-hyun also understood what Guo Jae-yong meant, because he was afraid that he would not understand anything and finally went to the crew to blindly command, and the only time he came into contact with film shooting was in a big Hollywood crew like "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and he was also afraid that he would demand the crew with Hollywood standards.

After figuring it out, Kim Tae-hyun said, "Director Guo, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to find trouble." And Director Guo may not know that I have been admitted to the film and television department of Sungkyunkwan University, I am majoring in acting, this time I followed the crew mainly to learn some acting experience, by the way, take a look at how the crew works in the crew, the crew is mainly you, I will not cause you trouble. “

After Kim Tae-hyun finished speaking, Director Kwak first congratulated Kim Tae-hyun on being admitted to Sungkyunkwan University, and then said, "Tae-hyun, you know that I don't mean to monopolize power, I just have too much expectation for this movie, and you are a person who has seen it at this level in Hollywood, and many crews in South Korea cannot be compared with Hollywood, and I am afraid that you are not used to some aspects of the crew." ”

Kim Tae-hyun smiled and said, "It seems that Director Guo doesn't know me very well, I stayed in the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" for no more than three days, and at that time I couldn't be distracted because of the college entrance examination, and in the end I was considered by the media to be excluded by the crew, so I don't know much about Hollywood's shooting methods, and I still believe in professionals like Director Guo when it comes to making movies." “

Director Guo nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved, now I have contacted the leading actors, and the movie will start filming within three days." “

Hearing Director Guo say this, Kim Tae-hyun asked in surprise, "So fast?" Who are the heroes and heroines? How did you get in touch so quickly? “

Director Guo said with a smile, "When I wanted to make this movie, I was already looking for a starring role, and I had already found a suitable candidate a few months ago, and when I waited for Taehyun to come back to discuss the script, I had already contacted the actors who were looking for a good one, and when the contract was negotiated, several actors also agreed to shoot this movie, which is also thanks to Taehyun's reputation, and after hearing that the script was adapted from your novel, several leading actors and agencies readily agreed." “

Speaking of this, Director Guo paused and said, "The heroine I am looking for is Jun Ji-hyun, who starred in "White Day" and won the best female newcomer in Baeksang, and about the role of the male protagonist Morning Glory, I fancy Cha Tae-hyun, who starred in "Happy Hour" with Jun Ji-hyun, I have also observed these two people for a long time, both of them are very skilled in acting, and the image of both of them is very suitable for the male and female protagonists in the play. “

After hearing Director Guo say this, Kim Tae-hyun was also relieved, probably because the image of Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun in "My Sassy Girlfriend" in his previous life was too profound, and Kim Tae-hyun didn't want to change the hero and heroine in this life.

After chatting about some topics about movies, Kim Tae-hyun also talked a lot about the entertainment industry with Kwak Jae-yong, and after hearing that Kim Tae-hyun was admitted to the film and television department of Sungkyunkwan University, Kwok Jae-yong also knew that Kim Tae-hyun wanted to go to the entertainment industry in the future, so Kwok Jae-yong was also consciously telling Kim Tae-hyun about the rules of the entertainment industry and some things in the circle.

Because Kim Tae-hyun is still a minor, so after Guo Zae-yong drank a little too much in the back, he basically died Guo Jae-yong was saying that Kim Tae-hyun was listening, probably because of alcohol, Guo Jae-yong and Kim Tae-hyun talked a lot about the bitter past when he was young, what was difficult by his predecessors when he was young, he had no fame and background, and he would be drunk half to death every time he pulled investment, and now he has a big stomach problem.

After listening to a lot of Guo Zairong's affairs, he also let Kim Tae-hyun know that in this circle, it is not that you will be able to get ahead if you have connections and talents, and the most important thing is that you are not recognized by the audience, and there are many people in the circle who have backgrounds, but they have always been in a state of half-popularity, and many of them can't hold on and finally give up.

Just when the two of them were talking and listening, the time was getting later and later, and when Guo Jae-yong couldn't get up on the table completely, Kim Tae-hyun reacted and looked at the time, it was already past two o'clock in the night, Kim Tae-hyun thought about it, and he didn't know where Guo Jae-yong's home was, let alone the phone number of Guo Jae-yong's home, and now he could only send him to a nearby hotel for one night.

Just when Kim Tae-hyun asked the waiter to settle the bill, Kwak Jae-yong's phone rang, and seeing that the name displayed should be called by Kwak Jae-yong's wife, Kim Tae-hyun thought about it and picked up the phone.

After Kim Tae-hyun picked up the phone, a female voice sounded on the other side, "Jae-yong, where are you now?" Why didn't you come back so late? “

Kim Tae-hyun immediately said, "You are Director Guo's wife, right?" I'm Kim Tae-hyun, and after signing the contract today, I came out with Director Guo to celebrate, and then Director Guo drank too much, and I don't know your home phone number, now you can tell me the address of your home, so I can send Director Guo back. “

Hearing Kim Tae-hyun say this, Kwak Jae-yong's wife on the other side also reacted immediately, and hung up the phone after reporting the address of her home to Kim Tae-hyun and expressing her gratitude to Kim Tae-hyun. Kim Tae-hyun put Kwak Jae-yong into a taxi with the help of the waiter, and after telling the taxi driver the address of Kwok Jae-yong's house, there were not many vehicles at midnight, so he quickly arrived at Kwak Jae-yong's house, and after Kwak Jae-yong's wife expressed her gratitude to Kim Tae-hyun, Kim Tae-hyun also returned to the hotel.

The day after the signing, Kim Tae-hyun's studio released the news that "My Sassy Girlfriend" was going to be made into a movie, and when the media heard the news, they rushed to the studio.

When the media asked which director would shoot "My Sassy Girlfriend", who would play the protagonists, and how much Kim Tae-hyun would be paid, the most concerned question was whether "My Sassy Girlfriend" was invested and filmed by a Hollywood company.

On the third day after the signing of the contract, C-SkyEnterprise, a distribution company that cooperates with the studio, stated on its official website that "My Sassy Girlfriend" will be directed by the famous director Kwak Jae-yong, the heroine Song Myung-hee will be played by the famous actress Jun Ji-hyun, and the male protagonist Morning Glory will be played by the famous actor Cha Tae-hyun. This time, the script is also from Kim Tae-hyun's hand, this time there is no remuneration, and the cooperation will be carried out in the form of investment, and Kim Tae-hyun will invest 3 billion yuan, accounting for 20% of the dividends. ”

When the news broke, both director Kwak Jae-yong and the male and female protagonists Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun were besieged by the media, although "My Sassy Girlfriend" did not have the influence of the Harry Potter series, but also from Kim Tae-hyun's hands, "My Sassy Girlfriend" was more popular with young people, and "My Sassy Girlfriend" also achieved the fourth place in the annual bestseller list in South Korea last year.

So after the news of the start of filming was announced, director Guo Zairong, who was tepid in the film industry, was also mentioned by many media and other famous directors, some out of envy, some out of the mentality of watching a good show, if the movie was filmed and did not achieve corresponding box office results, the first person to choose the black pot is the director Guo Zairong, because the script proved to be no problem after last year's inspection, then the problem must be Guo Zairong, the director.

Taking advantage of this wave, Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun, who were not very popular before, were also sought after by the media, of course, the most asked question was whether the movie could shoot the feeling in the original story, and whether the male and female leading actors could play Song Myung-hee and Morning Glory in people's hearts. With the rise in popularity, Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun are also feeling a lot of pressure, and if the characters they play after the movie comes out do not meet the audience's expectations, then the current popularity will only be anti in the future.

No matter what the outside world says, the day after the release of the list of directors and actors, the crew of "My Sassy Girlfriend" officially started filming at the famous Sinchon Ewha Womans University in South Korea.

The first scene of the film is the famous scene in the book: Morning Glory was drinking and chatting with several friends in the tavern after returning from military service, when a beautiful woman walked by with a bag outside the window, at this time Morning Glory thought to himself, 'She is the type I like, every time I see the girl I like, I couldn't help but want to chase her', but while Morning Glory was still thinking about the beautiful woman passing by, his mother called him and asked him to visit his aunt who was going to introduce him to the girl, and finally hung up after Morning Glory reluctantly agreed.
