Chapter 37 First Involvement in Film and Television
Jung Sung-hyun really didn't expect Kwon Bo-a's fans to react so violently, even if the bombardment on Twitter was over, there were still people waiting downstairs under him! Although there is no excesses, just those sad and angry faces are enough to make people feel empty.
It's just that the normal relationship between men and women has become as if they have done something that everyone is angry about! Fans really can't understand their feelings for idols.
was originally scheduled to go to Jin Xiulu today, but Zheng Chengxian, who was forced by such a scene, had to give up, so he had no choice but to call Jin Xiulu,
"Brother Xiulu, I'm Chengxian!"
"Oh, Chengxian, what's wrong? Did you get the script you said last time!? As an actor, Jin Xiulu still cares more about the script!
"I was going to look for you, but now there are a lot of Bao'er fans downstairs in my house, and it's not good to go out, I can't drive! Why don't you pick me up? Zheng Chengxian stood on the balcony and looked downstairs and said helplessly.
And someone downstairs seemed to have discovered Zheng Chengxian, and a big banner was raised on the third floor, with a few big words on it, "Let go of our idol!! ”
"Hahaha, who let you fall in love with Quan Bao'er, she has a lot of fans! Don't be cheap, you kid, you're still good! Kim so-ro seemed happy to see Jung Sung-hyun's embarrassment.
"It's useless to say that now, my home is in~~" Zheng Chengxian reported his address to Jin Xiulu, "Hurry up, brother, wait for your help!" ”
Jin Xiulu came quickly, and when the fans of Kwon Bao'er downstairs were still wondering how Jin Xiulu would come, Zheng Chengxian had already rushed into the car quickly with his bag, and Jin Xiulu kicked the accelerator and left, and the scene was as tense as the movie.
"Hahaha, Chengxian, you also have such a time!" Jin Xiulu drove the car and laughed.
"Well, who would have thought that there would be such a thing, although I also thought that there would be a backlash, who knew that the reaction would be so violent." Jung Sung-hyun let out a long breath and looked at the fans looking at each other behind the car with palpitations.
"It's okay, it was like this at first!" Jin Xiulu comforted.
"You mean they'll be gone in a few days?!" Zheng Chengxian asked happily.
"No, I mean you'll get used to it after a while!" Jin Xiulu said with a stern face, and then immediately burst out laughing.
Looking at this man who is nearly 40 years old gloating and laughing, Zheng Sung-hyun is powerless to complain, no wonder people call him 'golden child'.
"Brother Xiulu, I asked you to help me find Director Li Junyi, did you find it?" Jung Sung-hyun mentioned to Kim so-ro about finding a director when he got together that day, and he believed that it would be better for the original director to do it.
"I've already made an appointment with director Lee Jun-ik, but why did you appoint him to shoot? Do you know him well!? Kim so-lu asked curiously, Zheng Sung-hyun's works have always been designated people, which made Kim so-lu a little puzzled.
"I've seen his "Yellow Mountain Expedition" and think he is very suitable for my work!" casually throwing out a panacea excuse, how can you say the real reason?
The two drove to the agreed place, and followed the guidance of Jinxiu Road to meet Lee Jun-hyun for the first time.
Old-fashioned black and red T-shirt, a jacket full of wrinkles, round hair wrapped around the half-bald head, full-rim round glasses, and blue cheeks slightly shiny. THE IMAGE OF A MIDDLE-AGED DIAO SILK UNCLE, NOW HE HAS NO LATER SPIRIT, ALTHOUGH HE HAS A FEW WORKS, HE STILL LOOKS A LITTLE DOWN.
Seeing the two of them walking towards him, Li Junyi quickly stood up, "Hello Xiulu, this is Zheng Chengxianxi!" ”
Zheng Chengxian hurriedly bowed, not knowing whether Li Junyi was so humble or forced by life, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
"Hello Director Lee Jun-ik, I'm Jung Sung-hyun! Nice to meet you! ”
"Let's sit down and talk!" Kim so-ro greeted Jung Sung-hyun and Lee Jun-ik.
"I didn't expect that Zheng Chengxian, a writer, would have such achievements at such a young age, it's really unconvincing!" Zheng Chengxian's youth and immaturity made Li Junyi sigh with emotion and said enviously.
"Director Li is too polite, I still need the guidance of my seniors to advance after learning!" Jung Sung-hyun responded politely, his eagerness to get into the subject made his words a little formulaic.
"The reason for inviting you to come this time, I wonder if Brother Xiulu has sued you!?"
Li Junyi glanced at Jin Xiulu in amazement, "No, Xiulu just said that I came here today to introduce you to me!" ”
"Yes, Chengxian, I haven't had time to say it yet, it's better to talk about this kind of thing in person!" Jin Xiulu said a little embarrassed.
Jung Sung-hyun glanced at Kim so-ro and turned to Lee Jun-ik, "That's right, I made up a script, and I think it's not bad and I want to shoot it." Because I watched "Huangshan Expedition" before, I felt that you have unique insights into historical movies, so I asked Brother Xiulu to contact you! ”
Li Junyi has not had a decent work since "Huangshan Expedition" in 03, because his understanding of movies is contrary to most people, so he looks a little down! Now I hear that someone recognizes his heart's joy,
"Oh, as our youngest best-selling author in Korea, I'm looking forward to your script, I wonder if you brought it?" Li Junyi is a little impatient, he needs a good script to prove himself.
"The script is here, you can read it first!" Jung Sung-hyun took out the script from his bag and handed it to Lee Jun-ik.
The place chosen by Kim so Road is an open-air café built on a hillside with a vacant lot overlooking the whole of Seoul, and the environment is very quiet.
The frustration on Lee Jun-ik is a little out of place with the surrounding environment, Kim so-ro glanced at Jung Sung-hyun suspiciously, and didn't understand why he had to direct Lee Jun-ik.
When he first heard Zheng Chengxian talk about it, Kim Xiulu thought he was a big director, but it can be seen that the huge gap in the future made him doubt Zheng Chengxian's vision for a while.
Jung Sung-hyun shook his head at Kim so-lu and signaled not to speak yet, and the two of them quietly drank and waited.
After a pause, Li Junyi raised his head and said excitedly: "Zheng Chengxianxi, the script is very much to my liking, this is exactly what I want!"
It's still the same down-and-out dress, but it feels completely different, Li Junyi's eyes are bright at this moment, and his fanatical eyes are eye-catching. and the previous downfall and frustration.
"Director Li, you still call me Chengxian, I'm glad you like this script! So I'll just take you when you agreed to shoot? Jung Sung-hyun smiled and picked up his cup to salute Li Junyi.
"Of course, of course I do! Such a script is almost as tailor-made for me, and I have no reason to refuse! Li Junyi slapped the script excitedly.
"Show me the script Sung Hyun, I've only heard you tell the story!" The two of them met and hated each other, aroused Jin Xiulu's interest, reached out and took the script handed by the director and hurriedly read it.
Jung Sung-hyun and Lee Jun-yi looked at each other and smiled.
"So let's talk about movies! Let Brother Xiulu read the script first. Zheng Chengxian put down the cup and finally put down the big stone in his heart.
He is a little superstitious about the butterfly effect, and he thinks about everything before doing it, for fear that there will be an accident! It's like I've been playing drums before I came this time, what if Li Junyi doesn't do it? Will the substitution shoot still have that effect?
Singers and actors belong to the executors, as long as the level is not too bad, even if they are replaced, they will not be much inferior. But directors, screenwriters, and composers belong to decision-makers, and often one of their thoughts will make the work very different.
"I don't know if you have a candidate for Chengxian in terms of actors?" After the matter was decided, Li Junyi immediately entered his role and began to inquire about various matters.
"Let's audition openly, except for the two roles of Zhang Sheng and the favorite concubine, I have a candidate in my heart, and there are no others, especially the role of Kong Ji!" Zheng Chengxian thought for a moment and said.
At the dinner table that day, Jung Sung-hyun casually promised Kim so-ro and Park Ye-jin, maybe the two didn't go to their hearts at all, but he remembered it in his heart, and he wouldn't give up what he promised until he confirmed it.
As for Lee Joon-gi, I don't know where he is at this time, and I don't even know if he is in the entertainment industry, if he opens his mouth to find it directly, I'm afraid others will feel strange. Anyway, he can't run away if he really doesn't, and if he really doesn't, it's easy to find such an actor in South Korea based on his previous life.
"Chengxian, your script is very good, but there are some things in it that are too shocking and may affect the box office!" Kim so-ro had already read the script roughly, and felt that Zheng Sung-hyun was worthy of the name of a genius, but he was also a little worried.
"Brother Xiulu, how is it! Interested in playing Zhang Sheng? Looking at Jin Xiulu's tangled appearance, I was amused.
Jin Xiulu put the script on the table, and unconsciously patted it with his right hand, "I joked casually that day, but I didn't expect you to really come up with a script for me!"
"It's not so strict, I wrote it before, but I didn't take it out, and what you said to Yizhen Nuna reminded me that day! You also know that when I was in the hospital before, I had nothing to do every day, and I had a lot of time to write, so there were a lot of messy things that I almost forgot about jì! Jung Sung-hyun said with a smile.
Hearing that the protagonist of Kim so-ro came so simply, Lee Jun-yi couldn't help but feel a little worried, afraid that Jung Sung-hyun would cronyism and interfere with his filming. Thinking of the difficulty, his face was a little gloomy.
"I just heard that you are preparing for a public audition, and my brother can't embarrass you. Don't be decided, I'll go to the audition when the time comes, and I still have this confidence! "There is a strong confidence in the crisp and crisp words.
The haze that flashed on Lee Jun-yi's face just now Zheng Sung-hyun didn't pay attention, but Kim so-ro, who was good at observation, saw it and didn't want to fall into a contradiction just because he let the movie start filming before it started.
"Brother, are you really going to participate in the audition? I'm a screenwriter and investor, and I still have the power to set up roles! Kim so-roo's thoughtfulness Zheng Sung-hyun naturally felt it, but he couldn't help but tease him.
"Brother is an actor, I know in advance that the script has time to prepare, so I can't understand it, so I just change my career to be a funny artist in the future!" Jin Xiulu pretended to be annoyed and shouted dissatisfied.
Lee Jun-ik felt guilty in his heart, he just suspected and was dissatisfied with Jung Sung-hyun's interference in the selection of roles, but he forgot that Jung Sung-hyun decided whether the movie could be filmed, if not, then his previous concerns would be a joke.
This is one of the reasons why he is not appreciated, it's not that no one asks him to make a movie, but every time he receives the script, he is always dissatisfied with others interfering in his own filming and parting happily.
Just now I heard that Zheng Sung-hyun had already decided that the male protagonist and the female supporting role were unhappy, and then Kim so-roo's words made him feel embarrassed, and he suspected that his expression was seen by Kim so-ro just now.
"Xiulu's acting skills are naturally no problem, I don't know how much you plan to invest in this movie Chengxian?" Lee Jun-ik asks another question that is crucial to the film to hide the shame in his heart.
silently calculated his assets, the film share and remuneration of "Harry Potter" have been in place, and the previous signing of the sharing contract with Warner was conditional on the subsequent films of "Harry Potter" being handed over to him. So there's about fifmillion dollars in liquidity on hand at the moment.
After converting in his heart, he said with some reservations, "I plan to invest 10 billion in the early stage, and if it is not enough, I will add more!" Considering that this is a costume drama, the cost of making zuò may be relatively large! “
"You have so much money, Chengxian?" Jin Xiulu said in surprise.
Zheng Chengxian is not a star, he doesn't have an intuitive feeling of income or anything, he just feels that he is not short of money when he usually comes into contact, but he didn't expect that there are so many!
"Hey Brother Xiulu, don't look at me usually not showing off, but we are also people with small assets!" Zheng Chengxian raised his chin slightly proudly.
"This investment is enough!" Lee Jun-ik was very happy, and was worried that Jung Sung-hyun was too young to come up with much money, but with sufficient investment, he was more confident to make a good movie.
The three of them sat there in a harmonious atmosphere to discuss the details, and this work, which has an important place in the history of Korean cinema, slowly took shape.
