It's afternoon time to go to work, and the MBC building is full of noisy people, with hurried staff and the occasional loud reprimand, and the whole building is like a high-speed train, driving forward at full speed.

The conference room on the twelfth floor was silent, and thanks to the good soundproofing, everyone in the room could calm down and read the script in front of them.

Although there is not much time left for them to watch, whether a script is good or bad can be roughly seen after watching it for a while, and Kim Yoon-chul does this to have great confidence in the script, so as to enhance the confidence of everyone present.

After all, there are so many TV dramas that hit the streets in South Korea every year, and no one dares to guarantee that they will not encounter them. And a good script will undoubtedly minimize this risk.

Jiang Tae-cheol hadn't read the script before, so after opening the script with curiosity, he was a little square.

The script is not like a novel, but consists of paragraphs of lines and stage directions, which are as the name suggests are dialogues between characters, and stage directions include detailed explanations and narrations of the time, place, characters, etc.

There is not much time, so naturally there is no time to browse carefully, Jiang Taizhe took a cursory look at the lines, and he had some ideas in his heart.

Twenty minutes passed, and seeing that everyone had finished reading the script, Kim Yoon-cheol in the main seat spoke, "Hello everyone, I am Kim Yoon-cheol, the director of this drama. ”

Jiang Tae-cheol was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the director had officially introduced himself for the first time just now, and the director Jiang Tae-cheol, who came up and asked everyone to read the script, had really never seen it.

"This director is kind of interesting." Jiang Tae-cheol looked at the director with a scruffy beard and an obscene look thoughtfully.

"I won't go into detail about the script, I believe in the strength of screenwriter Kim, and everyone probably has a bottom in their hearts." After a pause, Kim Yin Zhe seemed to remember something, coughed and said, "Many of you here are meeting for the first time, so let's introduce yourself first." ”

"It's finally here." Kang Tae-chul breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze at Kim Yoon-chul changed from mentally retarded to idiot.

Everyone turned their eyes to the woman beside Kim Yoon Chol.

He was about forty years old, unobtrusively dressed, wearing a white down jacket with a turtleneck sweater underneath. The body is a little strict, and there is a faint smile on the fat face, which makes people feel a sense of closeness.

But none of the people here dared to despise her because of her profession. "I'm Kim Do-woo, the screenwriter of this show." The voice was not loud, but it revealed an inexplicable domineering.

The Korean television scene is different from elsewhere, where the highest status is not the actor or director, but the screenwriter.

It's those unkempt and unattractive middle-aged women, who are at the top of the food chain in the TV industry.

The screenwriter can modify the script at any time to let the crew cooperate with him, and even has the right to select actors and directors. A big name in the screenwriting industry like Kim Eun-sook is even more important for all TV drama actors.

Kim Do-woo on the main seat is also a veteran with several years of screenwriting experience, and he has also launched some successful works, so he is naturally qualified to be arrogant.

After the screenwriter introduced him, he was supposed to be the director, but the director waved his hand to indicate that he had already said it, so everyone's eyes fell on the slightly chubby woman.

"Anihassai, I'm Jin Xuan'er, this time I play the female No. 1 Jin Sanshun, I'm very happy to see everyone." The chubby woman stood up and bowed, the screenwriter and director can sit and introduce, the actors are not so stupid.

"Anihassai, I'm Hyun Bin, this time I play the male number one Hyun Zhenxuan, I'm very happy to be able to film with you in the future." It was a tall handsome guy with protruding cheekbones and a thin chin who spoke.

When it was his turn, Jiang Tae-cheol stood up and bowed seriously, "Anihasai, I'm Kang Tae-cheol, and this time I play Henry as a newcomer. Kim, it's a pleasure to work with all of you, and I hope you will bear with me. ”

"Anihassai, I'm Lee Kuihan."

"I'm Lee Yun-mi"

Next is the introduction of some more important crew members such as the assistant director of the crew.

On the whole, the atmosphere is not good or bad, after all, everyone is not familiar with each other, and you have to meet to be very enthusiastic, and others will think that you are a mentally retarded who does not understand the world.

However, Jiang Taizhe found that there seemed to be something missing, looked around, and wrote down the people one by one, Jiang Taizhe suddenly realized, and then frowned slightly, looked at the two in front of him, and secretly calculated their thoughts in his heart.

"Since everyone already knows each other, then I won't talk nonsense." Kim Yoon-chul looked at Kim Do-woo next to him, who nodded slightly.

"The first thing to call you here this time is to let everyone get to know each other, after all, we will spend a long time together in the future."

"After discussion with screenwriter Kim, it was decided to start filming on April 17th."

"April 17? There are still two months to go, so isn't it a bit early to start a meeting? Jiang Tae-cheol didn't know the rules, so he didn't say it even though he had doubts in his heart.

"Everyone also saw today that Luo Wenji's senior, who played Hyun Bin's mother, was not present, because the seniors occasionally felt cold a few days ago, so they are resting at home now. But rest assured, when it's time to shoot, these are no problem. ”

"Jin Xuan'er, because the script has changed a little, your role has changed again." This time it was the screenwriter who spoke.

"Inside"

"You'll need to gain at least ten pounds."

"Inside?"

Jin Xuan'er showed a trace of bitterness on her face, but she didn't dare to refute. She has already gained ten pounds for this role, and now she has to gain weight again, Jin Xuan'er burst into tears.

"Hyun Bin, your hair can't be trimmed anymore from today, it's not long enough."

"There is another very important thing that needs to be explained to you." Kim Do-woo knocked on the table and spoke slowly.

"The actor who plays Yu Xizhen can't appear in this TV series because of personal problems, and we can't say much about the specific situation, and now we need to find a new actor."

When Jiang Tae-cheol heard this, he finally understood what the reason for this meeting was. But he immediately had a new question, shouldn't the matter of choosing actors be the business of directors and screenwriters? What's the use of bringing them in? Is it a gatekeeper for the director and screenwriter?

"I asked Zheng Liyuan to play the role of Yu Xizhen, what do you think." Kim Yoon-chul spoke first.

As for who Zheng Liyuan is, most of the people here don't know each other, only a few seem to remember that this person is an idol.

Kim Yoon-chul and Kim Do-woo have a big disagreement on this role. Jin Yinzhe thinks that since she is a second woman, she just needs to find someone who meets the role to play it, after all, it is more important for the whole drama to be a woman and a man. Moreover, the budget of the crew is not much, and it is not enough to invite a big star.

And Kim Do-woo thinks that although Yu Xizhen is a second female, her position in the play is very crucial, and there are many scenes, so she can't do things casually, not to mention that now the second male is a complete newcomer, and the second female is looking for a newcomer, and the male and female are not popular stars, can such a combination be popular?

But in the face of Kim Yoon-chul's budget problem, Kim Do-woo also lost a little confidence. But the role is small, and it is true that her status is challenged, how can she tolerate it? immediately convened a meeting to establish his position in the crew.

Everyone here is silent, everyone is not a fool, how can they be this bird? said what the role was chosen, but in fact, the door of the two had already been clearly felt.

There is no one in this industry who is not a human spirit.

Jin Daoyu saw that no one was talking, and this role was about to be decided, of course he was unwilling, so he swept around, and then stopped his eyes on someone.

"Jiang Tae-cheol, what do you think about the candidate for this role?"

(I wrote a chapter in between work and noon, and I had to work overtime at night, so let's see if the situation is updated.) ）

(The baby's heart is bitter, the baby will say)
