Chapter Ninety-Seven: Park Jin-young's Troubles
Inside the office of the President of JYP.
In addition to Yoon Tianyou's affairs, Park Jin-young is having a headache over one thing. That is the youth revue "DreamHigh" that JYP and KEYEAST under Bae Yongjun are preparing to jointly invest in and film, and this drama has made a lot of low-level mistakes from the beginning of planning.
First of all, the director, the originally selected director suddenly had some difficult personal matters that could not be solved, so he picked the picks first. Then the male protagonist also temporarily changed his mind because of the script and remuneration, and the heroine gave up the original agreement because the male protagonist left on the pretext that she didn't want to partner with someone casually.
For a while, the group that was supposed to start working fell apart, leaving only one script for Park Jin-young.
Park Jin-young looked at the script in front of him, the hero and heroine are a couple who pursue their singing dreams, and they work hard to pursue their dreams. Now that no one has acted in this very good story, Park Jin-young can't help but cry and laugh, in the Korean TV circle, it is normal to have scripts and directors without funds, but it is too funny to have funds but no manpower. But this is a fact, it happened suddenly, and it is approaching the end of the year, and most of the popular Korean stars are now busy with their own things, and they can't get someone in a hurry.
Give up? Park Zhenying is unwilling, this matter has already signed a contract with Bae Yongjun's company, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to himself. But fortunately, Park Jin-young had an idea, why not revise the script well, and then use the human resources of his own company to get started?
So after discussing with Bae Yongjun, the two companies are ready to spend a lot of money to invite the famous Korean screenwriter Hong sisters.
The sisters' "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" created this year was a hit in the ratings and became a popular screenwriter coaxed by many TV stations. It is reasonable for Park Jin-young and Bae Yong-jun to fall in love with them, but the sisters are busy creating "Best Love" for MBC and have no time to take on other jobs.
Helplessly, Park Jin-young and Bae Yong-jun had to think of another way, spending half the price and inviting Park Hye-lian, another female screenwriter who had recently practiced in retreat. Not long after the female screenwriter debuted, her current masterpiece is only the romantic comedy "Knife Hand Wu Jingjing" in 07, and there have been no proud works since then, and half the price is high compared to the Hong sisters.
originally thought that it was cheap and not good, but who knew that this Park Huilian actually had a brush, and after getting the script, she directly revised it vigorously, first eliminating the male and female protagonists' one-man shows, and positioning the roles as seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people, the male protagonist has become three handsome guys who learn and compete with each other, and the female protagonist has also become three beautiful girls with different personalities.
Six people, six stories, interspersed with some family, friendship, and indispensable love, and some bloody plots of I love you, you don't love me, you love him, but he falls in love with someone else. Then screenwriter Park added some upgrade modes of singing and dancing competitions to enhance the attractiveness of the script, just like the practice upgrade of martial arts films, step by step, so that the protagonist continues to climb up in the singing and dancing competition......
The script has undergone such a change, not to mention, it has become better and more story-like. Youth song and dance films, the more youthful the better, and it doesn't necessarily have to be those big stars with acting skills. What's more, this drama is a song and dance film, not all actors can dance, and there are a lot of excellent singing and dancing talents under his own banner and Pei Yongjun's banner.
Bae Yongjun and Park Jin-young are both very satisfied with the new script, to be precise, they are too satisfied, and they think that this Park screenwriter is not bad, and he has two brushes under his hands.
In short, now that the script is available and the director has been decided, it is up to the characters to be arranged.
Since both companies plan to give up the star route and plan to promote their own newcomers, who will be in the position?
First of all, Bae Yongjun asked for three places, namely the first actor and the second and third heroines.
Needless to say, the first male protagonist is his protégé Kim so-hyun, the second heroine is Han Eunjing of the T-ARA group, and the third heroine is the popular female singer IU Lee Ji-eun.
Needless to say, Bae Yongjun chose Kim so-hyun as the leading actor, this is his most important disciple, and he is also a newcomer that the company focuses on cultivating, and he is a little unwilling to be the first actor; As for Han Enjing and Li Zhien, it is because the company to which the two of them belong has business dealings with Pei Yongjun, which is considered a personal debt. What's more, the two girls are very popular now, especially that Lee Ji-eun, who has recently become popular with a song "Good Day", and is very popular among teenagers. With them added to the ratings, there is also some security.
The six places were asked by Pei Yongjun to go to three, and there were three left, namely the first heroine, the second actor and the third actor. Park Jin-young's arrangement is very simple, as the most popular Bae so-ji in the JYP girl group, it is most suitable to be the heroine, and the second and third male protagonists will be arranged for Ok Taek-yeon and Jang Woo-young in 2PM.
Three against three, neither company suffers.
Originally, everything was ready, but suddenly Yin Tianyou became popular in variety shows, and then there was a gimmick of "King of Kung Fu" and a video of "King of Street Singers", and his popularity soared again...... Such a battle has made this matter change again.
The reason is that there are many fans of Yoon Tianyou who call and write letters to strongly ask for it, hoping to see FIVE participate in this play, and strongly ask him to be the first actor in the play.
Fans and fans can understand the mood of Park Jin-young, after all, everyone wants to be able to see their favorite idols on TV screens as much as possible. But that doesn't mean that we can't overturn what we have planned.
But a South Korean company that invested in this drama immediately took the initiative to ask, "It would be great if FIVE could participate, and the ratings are guaranteed." ”
As one of the investors, can you not consider his suggestion that this company was originally indifferent to the role arrangement, but now it is speaking at this juncture?
What to do?
For Park Jin-young, he is also selfish, if Bae Yong-jun is willing to give up the first actor in his hand, he will immediately let Yoon Tianyou get on the horse. After all, compared to Yu Zeyan and Zhang Yourong, Yin Tianyou is the biggest trump card in his hands.
But Pei Yongjun will never do this, because since watching Yin Tianyou's performance, Pei Yongjun knows that this is a huge threat, not to mention that the person his company wants to support is Kim so-hyun, how can such a good opportunity be taken away by Yin Tianyou.
Stalemate!
And so it came to an impasse.
