Chapter 159. Majestic hair
JYP Entertainment's cast recruitment has officially ended.
The recruitment results can be said to be very successful.
At least in Li Sijiang's opinion, the actors recruited are very good, and they all have very smart "artistic cells".
The staff is complete, and according to the tradition of the Korean television industry, before the start of filming of the TV series, everyone has to have a meeting. In order to run in as soon as possible in the fast-paced shooting.
The crew members who met this time, in addition to the large and small leading and supporting roles of the entire crew, as well as screenwriters, directors, and producers, also some crew PDs and photography, lighting, and tea service personnel also participated.
The filming of Korean TV dramas has always been filmed while broadcasting, so the shooting is very demanding, and almost many shots have to be passed over and over again, so it is necessary to cooperate well to avoid mistakes when you get it. Of course, this is only the secondary purpose of this meeting, the main purpose is to collaborate ideas, determine the idea and style of the whole script, and arrange the whole filming process.
Everyone came to the conference room, and as soon as they sat down, Park Jin-young, who was the producer, and Lee Si-gang, who was the director, had an argument.
The key issue in the dispute is about the style of the TV series, that is, which aspect of the content is the main one.
As a rare "sci-fi" theme in the Korean TV industry, this issue does not seem to need to be discussed, because it is obvious that the name of this TV series has indicated that you from the stars, the male protagonist is an alien, sci-fi and superpowers are good packaging, and creating the first sci-fi drama in history is the main theme. But as soon as this issue reached producer Park Jin-young, it aroused his opposition.
As a TV drama whose main market is South Korea, Park Jin-young first considers the audience's taste. Frankly. The basic style of Korean TV dramas in recent years is a bloody romantic drama of the "one woman and two men" type, starting with "Blue Life and Death Love". to the recent hit "Best Love", which is basically a pure love drama of this love triangle type. And the level of appreciation of the audience. Obviously, it has been fixed in this model, and there are many directors who try to change this situation, such as the TV series "President" that takes the political line, when it is broadcast on the radio, the ratings make the director want to cry without tears, and then watch other bloody love dramas "The Secret Garden", "Mary's Sleepover" is more popular than the other.
It is under such circumstances that Park Jin-young insisted on adding more emotional content to the TV series. In this way, he emphasized, the audience can be more engaged. In order to have higher ratings, after all, science fiction is just packaging, and if you want to watch science fiction blockbusters, you can watch American blockbusters, and it will be boring to simply tell the story of how aliens survive on Earth, and if you have to, it will definitely cause the loss of audiences in the end.
Director Li Sijiang's opinion is just the opposite, she is a female director with a strong artistic atmosphere, and her consideration of the script is more from art. Science fiction as a literary art. Since ancient times, the relationship and mysteries between humans and nature, between humans and the earth have been explored. The unknown is more mysterious, and the plot can be suspenseful if it is mysterious. And to do this, the plot naturally has to focus on sci-fi suspense elements.
As soon as the discussion began, the two men insisted on their own words. There was a lot of controversy. Neither of them can be said to be unreasonable, but in fact, because of the different starting points of consideration. There was no agreement at all, and for a while it was full of gunpowder.
Critical time. Yin Tianyou stepped forward and stopped the quarrel between the two. first signaled both of them to calm down, and then as the screenwriter of this drama, Yoon Tianyou asked Park Jin-young a question: "Brother Zhen-young, do you want to make an excellent sci-fi romance TV series?" Or do you want to make a vulgar love idol drama with a sci-fi signboard? ”
Although Yoon Tianyou is young, he is the most popular artist in JYP and the real screenwriter of this play, and what he said naturally has some weight, Park Jinying immediately heard that Yoon Tianyou seemed to disagree with him, and he was speechless for a while.
Of course, Yin Tianyou would not fail to give him face, and said: "Brother Zhenying, I understand your thoughts, mainly for my good, I hope the ratings of this drama can be prosperous, but-"
When Yin Tianyou said this, he turned his gaze to the others and said loudly: "Since I am the screenwriter of this TV series, I will first tell you my opinion. ”
"To be honest, the reason why I wrote a script like this is just to wish myself a dream. Many people have also had this experience, when you were a very weak child, when you were constantly bullied, did you dream that one day you would be able to have superpowers, eliminate violence, and save yourself......
"That's right, I used to have such a dream, so I pinned this dream on this play, the male protagonist is from an alien planet, he has superpowers, he can save a lot of people, help a lot of people. But when you do have this ability, what do you want most? Money, power, love, or something else? I pondered this question deeply, and in the end I came up with the answer that none of this was what he wanted most, what he wanted most was to return to his own planet and be with his people......"
Speaking of this, Yin Tianyou said with emotion: "My personal opinion, the script should be completely developed around the hero's thoughts, when he thought that he did not belong to this earth and wanted to leave by various opportunities, he met the true love of his life - Qian Songyi." So he encountered a problem, whether to go or stay, at this time, the emotional drama can be perfectly integrated, we don't need to be able to package, and we don't need to deliberately go to the blood, we love when we encounter love, whether it is science fiction, or love, idol, or art, in the final analysis, it is for people to watch, to feel deeply, to like the TV series! ”
"There are no boundaries in TV dramas, only the people who shoot TV series do! If you set boundaries for yourself, you'll never get far because you're tied down! That's all I have to say, over. Yin Tianyou bowed and sat down.
The entire seat was silent.
Overall, Yoon Tianyou did not stand on Park Jin-young's side, nor did he stand on Lee Sijiang's side, he stood on the side of the great audience.
And his sentence "TV dramas have no boundaries, only those who shoot TV dramas have boundaries" is even more thought-provoking, and even Li Sijiang, who has always considered himself to have a strong sense of art, has to admit that this passage is very standard.
After a while, there was warm applause at the scene, including Park Ji-yeon and Kim Seol-hyun, and even Song Ji-hyo admired Yoon Tianyou a little.
Having this kind of cognition at a young age is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Yin Tianyou's attitude is obvious, and no one can see that this is definitely true, and it is definitely not empty words. Speaking of Yin Tianyou, he is the real soul of this TV series, and his attitude immediately ended all the controversy. Park Jin-young revised his point of view and began to discuss the specific concept of shooting with Lee Si-gang, although it still needs time to polish, but the theme has been determined, that is, "I am an alien, but I am in love with earthlings" as the absolute theme, and all the plots serve this theme.
But for Yin Tianyou, who knows what he really thought when he made his remarks.
Aliens?
Superpowers?
He is almost the same as Do Minjun in the script, and he is also an unusual monster.
If one day, when his identity is revealed, how many people will be on his side? Maybe then there will be countless people looking at themselves with colored glasses, thinking of themselves as a scary guy, a scary guy.
Yoon Tianwoo can get to know Do Minjun.
Because he is himself.
Do Minjun has been keeping his identity secret for more than 400 years, and finally meets his true love, but what about himself? It's just getting started.
But thank God for letting him meet his beloved Zheng Xiujing XI, and thank him for having so many bosom friends around him.
At the end of the meeting, when everyone left the conference room one after another, Song Jihyo said to him, "You are great, you are really great." ”
Park Ji-yeon glanced at him affectionately, wanting to say something, but stopped talking.
Jin Xuexuan ran to him without any scruples, "God bless brother, come on!" He waved his little fist.
The two male protagonists, Park Hae-jin and Shin Sung-rok, looked at Yoon Cheon-woo with great curiosity, for them, Yoon Cheon-woo's age was too incommensurate with his cognition.
In any case, this meeting Yin Tianyou left an indelible impression on everyone, and also laid the foundation for Yin Tianyou's future acting career, this is a talented, unique understanding, and passionate young man!
Afterwards, as the screenwriter and leading actor, Yin Tianyou discussed with director Li Sijiang about the specific shooting concept and the role positioning of other actors, and this meeting was a successful end. (To be continued......)
