Chapter 52: Heroic Twilight

The next day, Kang Hyung-cheol got up early, took care of himself neatly and capably, put down today's work, stayed at home, and rehearsed the meeting with Jung Sung-hyun over and over again.

For the first time, an investor took the initiative to find him, and his enthusiasm that had gradually been extinguished was rekindled.

Kang Hyung-chul is tired of doing odd jobs, and his years of study and enthusiasm are not born for doing chores, he wants to make movies and is eager to prove his talent to others.

The time has not yet arrived, and Jiang Jiongzhe has already arrived at the agreed place.

It can be seen that Jung Sung-hyun is very good at choosing places, which is an open-air café built on a hillside. Sitting on the railing side of the mountain at the foot of the mountain, you can see Seoul with an unobstructed view, and the wide view makes the depressed mood open-minded.

Jiang Jiongzhe, who was shy in his pocket, awkwardly ordered a glass of water, and explained shyly that he was waiting for someone.

The waiter's suspicious gaze made Jiang Jiongzhe fidget, and secretly decided in his heart that as long as he adopted his script, even if the conditions were harsh, he would accept it, and he would never want to bear such a gaze again.

When Kang Hyung-cheol admired the scenery and sighed that he had never met Huaicai, Shin Sung-joon arrived with Park Bo-young, "Screenwriter Kang came early, I thought that I and Bao-young were the first to come!" ”

"No, no, I've just arrived!"

stood up and greeted Shin Sung-jun warmly, and saw that Park Bo-young hesitated: "This is ~~?" ”

"Hello, I'm Park Bo-young, and I'm an actor!" Park Bo-young saluted respectfully, and Kang Hyung-cheol responded with a little restraint, and both of them had a bit of humility.

"Let's sit down and wait, I contacted Zheng Chengxian just now, and he's still on the way!" Shin Sung-joon invited everyone to sit down, gritted his teeth and beckoned the waiter to ask for a few cups of coffee.

Neither side is the main owner, and the same embarrassing atmosphere is gradually about to solidify, but fortunately, the agent Shin Sungjun has adjusted it so that everyone is not so embarrassed.

There was a small talk without a match, Kang Hyong-cheol became curious about Park Bo-young, a baby-faced cute girl, and secretly guessed what her relationship with Jung Sung-hyun was.

Park Bo-young also has a strong interest in Kang Hyung-chul, and learned from his agent that this screenwriter seems to be in a bad situation, so what is so special about him that makes Jung Sung-hyun care so much?

chatting with each other about unnutritious topics was frequently tempted, and despite Shin Sung-jun's tongue, the lotus atmosphere gradually cooled down.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Jung Sung-hyun to arrive!

He came by taxi, and he has been too lazy to learn to drive, so he can only take a taxi everywhere, and on the way here, he is still considering whether to find a personal assistant.

"I'm sorry guys, I'm late! South Korea's taxis are too well-behaved, and they don't dare to be fast at all! Jung Sung-hyun apologized as soon as possible.

"It doesn't matter seniors, we just arrived!" The kind-hearted Park Bo-young tried his best to hide Jung Sung-hyun's embarrassment.

"Hello Jung Sung-hyun, I'm Kang Hyung-chul!" Standing up with a stiff face and bowing, Zheng Chengxian walked in front of him in the screenwriting industry, which is the so-called learning in no order.

"You don't have to, it's true that I'm late! These will be counted as mine for a while, and they will be regarded as my reparation for everyone! He pointed to the table and said with shame.

The three of them hurriedly said no, but Zheng Chengxian didn't give them time to continue to be polite, just sat down and got straight to the point.

"Can Jiang Jiongzhexi take out the script and read it? I heard your story from a friend and was intrigued! “

The script that was already a little damaged in the corner was solemnly pulled out by Kang Hyung-cheol and handed it to Jung Sung-hyun, this pile of worn-out paper carried all his hopes.

Zheng Chengxian took the script and looked at it, he didn't know Kang Jiung-cheol in his previous life, and he couldn't tell if it was that person just from his name, so he could only use the script to determine his identity.

Just read a few pages and put your mind at ease, the plot is right! The person in front of you is really what you are looking for, then things will be easy to do!

"The story is good, it meets my expectations, and I am willing to invest! Tell us about your conditions! Jung Sung-hyun was straightforward. There is no haggling with mud and water, he has a lot of good scripts in his heart, and there is no need to worry about a certain part.

"My conditions~?" Such a crisp style of conversation made Jiang Jiongzhe a little stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said tentatively, "I want to direct myself!" “

"Yes! I don't interfere with your shooting! Zheng Chengxian didn't give Jiang Jiongzhe time to be nervous, and made a decision directly!

"The last time I filmed "The King's Man", I tossed it badly, this time I don't care about anything but investment, and my condition is that this girl should be the heroine!" pointed to Park Bo-young who was in a daze.

Park Bo-young was very surprised, although she knew that her predecessors would help, but she didn't expect to help so thoroughly and invest directly in a movie for herself. While feeling grateful, she is faintly uneasy, and she also knows the dirtiness in the entertainment industry.

"Bo Young, great! You can be the heroine! Thank you, Writer Zheng! Shen Chengjun's eyes next to him were a little complicated, obviously thinking of the bad aspects, and the excitement in his words was a little reluctant.

I thought that my approach would be misunderstood, but Zheng Chengxian has no psychology, as long as he has a clear conscience, there is nothing to be afraid of, it is just to make money!

"You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank me, you can perform seriously, and I can only make money by acting well in the movie, which is more effective than verbal thanks!" Raising his hand to stop Park Bo-young, who was about to speak, Jung Sung-hyun had a businesslike look on his face, as if no one was allowed to enter.

Park Bo-young saluted Jung Sung-hyun very seriously, "Thank you, senior, I will work hard!" He turned to Jiang Jiongzhe again, "Please give the director more advice!" “

Jiang Jiongzhe, who was still immersed in consternation, seemed to have lost the ability to speak and sat there stupidly.

The sudden realization of his dream made him have the urge to pinch himself, and it was not so direct to praise the star!?

"Jung Sung-hyun, you're not kidding me, are you!?" Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he asked uncertainly.

"Of course not, it's not for fun!"

"The reason why I invested in you is to be optimistic about this story, this type of comedy is rare in Korea, and it is even rarer to shoot it well, if anyone can make this kind of movie well, I think you can do it as a screenwriter!" casually fooled Jiang Jiongzhe, the real reason naturally can't be said.

"I have some ideas about the actors, the female protagonist is Park Bo-young, and the male protagonist I hope is Cha Tae-hyun!"

"There are several reasons for choosing Cha Tae-hyun, firstly, this movie needs a big-name star to come to town, secondly, Cha Tae-hyun's dramatic style suits your script very well, and thirdly, and most importantly, I like Cha Tae-hyun!"

Seeing the strange eyes of the three people, Jung Sung-hyun realized the ambiguity in his words and corrected the sentence: "I like his performance, I have loved it since I watched "My Sassy Girlfriend"!" “

Everyone was relieved that Cha Tae-hyun's comedy style is indeed different from most actors, and it has some of its own flavor, so it's not strange to like it.

"Jiang Jiongzhexi, you can start preparing the crew now, there are many things to prepare for this movie to reach the level you require, I am just an investor, and the first money will be handed over to you by my assistant in two days!" After saying a lot, he picked up the cup and drank it slowly, giving Park Boyoung and Kang Hyung-chul time to digest.

The two only sat for a moment and then made up their minds to agree, noticing that Park Bo-young's expression was a little reluctant, and Jung Sung-hyun knew her concerns but it was inconvenient to explain them in front of the director.

"In that case, I wish us a happy cooperation and a big box office hit!" Instead of champagne, he raised his coffee and clinked glasses with Kang Hyung-chul and Park Bo-young.

After exchanging contact information, Zheng Chengxian left in a hurry, feeling more and more that he had no skills, and he had to go to find Li Xiuman.

When he came to the ** company, the front desk already knew Zheng Chengxian and did not stop him from sending him up directly.

Entering the floor of Li Xiuman's office, Zheng Chengxian noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, more than 10 men and women gathered in the corridor with sneaky figures, and under a closer look, there were several people from Girls' Generation, the men were familiar but could not be named, one of them Zheng Chengxian knew him, because he was from China - Han Geng!

They seem to be eavesdropping on something, and Jung Sung-hyun's appearance attracts their attention!

"Oba, it's great for you to come!" Sunny's eyes lit up and he ran to Jung Sung-hyun's side, his round cheeks revealing a look of 'savior'.

Looking at the others for some reason, everyone had a relieved expression!

"What's going on!?" Zheng Chengxian asked curiously, and there was a faint roar of someone in his ears.

"Uncle Man is angry about our affairs, and somehow he found SJ's Obas, and Lit Oba is being trained inside!" Lin Yun'er replied with a panicked face, and the other girls nodded in agreement.

SJ and Jung Sung-hyun didn't know each other well and didn't come up to talk, but there was a strong sense of asking for help in their eyes. Although everyone has not seen it with their own eyes, they also know that Lee so-man is very friendly to Jung Sung-hyun and hopes to get his help!

Zheng Chengxian nodded, pushed open the door and walked in, in his previous life, he had heard a lot of news about Li Xiuman's beating, and he couldn't say that he was disgusted, after all, he was far away from himself.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard Li Xiuman's roar, "Little~ How did you become the captain!" You can't do a little thing! “

The man stood in the center of the room with his head down, his pale blonde hair, his face unsightly because he had his back to the doorway.

The furious Li Xiuman walked back and forth like a hungry beast, and every time he passed by the man, the man seemed to shrink involuntarily.

I think this man is Little!

"Chengxian? What are you doing here!!? Seeing Zheng Chengxian, Li Xiuman was quite surprised.

"There are some things I want to ask Uncle Man for help, but it seems to be unlucky!" Zheng Chengxian's tone was steady and seemed unaffected, but his chin nodded a little.

Li Xiuman glared at Litt viciously, "You go out first, go back and think about what I told you!" “

Litt hurriedly turned around and walked out, giving him a grateful look as he passed by Jung Sung-hyun. The delicate and handsome face made Jung Sung-hyun feel a sense of déjà vu, but he didn't take it to heart.

After Litt walked out, Zheng Chengxian closed the door with his hand, sat down on the sofa and asked curiously, "Uncle Man, what's wrong!?" Why are you so angry? “

"It's not for SUNNY and them, I arranged for SJ's people to appease their fans, but it hasn't worked out for days, I really don't know how they do it!" Li Xiuman, who was still angry, spoke with a strong smell of gunpowder.

"This kind of thing can't be forced, the Chinese country next door to us has a saying called 'freezing three feet is not a day's cold'. Fans' misunderstandings about Yuna and their sisters cannot be erased with one or two explanations. If you push too hard and the SJ members are slightly wrong, the fans can give you infinite amplification, but it's a bad thing! “

It's not that Zheng Chengxian wants to meddle in the family affairs of **, it's just that since some things can be helped, he can help them.

"I know this, but I'm really anxious. The company and I have great expectations for Girls' Generation, and now how can it not be popularized when it looks like this! Speaking of these, Li Xiuman felt that his mood was not smooth.

"I also blame me for being too domineering in the past, so that my artists were separated from me, they were all beaten and scolded by me before, and now it is naturally not so easy to want them to help. It's still not right to say it, after all, they are all children! “

"But after coming back this time, I really want to take it seriously and calm down to operate, and I have found the feeling when I started the company again, and I want to watch ** go to the next level!"

"Maybe it's because I'm too eager for quick success and ignore the details that I have caused the embarrassing situation now."

Li Xiuman, who was sitting behind the desk, was a little excited, and he was nearly 60 years old, and he was already powerless to deal with many things.

I plan to quietly watch the company I founded flourish, but when faced with a crisis, I will be angry, like the 'tyrant' of the past.

"Uncle Man's enlightenment, is he planning to become a Buddha on the ground!?" Jung Sung-hyun joked kindly, wanting to dilute the sadness in the room.

Li Xiuman in front of him has some heroic twilight, and Zheng Chengxian is a little sympathetic to him.

"You are a good person, everything else is good, but this temperament is too loose, and your best talent has been wasted by you!" Li Xiuman said with a smile.

"I'm not as eloquent as Uncle Man, I just want to be able to accompany my beloved to be safe and sound, there are so many things to pursue in this fancy world, how many can you catch! Thinking too much is just causing trouble, Uncle Man! Zheng Chengxian's words were a little casual and a little casual, but they seemed to make some sense.

Li Xiuman didn't speak, just thought thoughtlessly and silently!
