Chapter Ninety-Five: The King's Man
On December 3rd, the weather was completely cold, making people shiver. Early in the morning, Park Ji-sub was forced to leave the warm quilt and Park Ji-yeon's increasingly soft embrace. Although he didn't have to go to school, his things didn't decrease at all.
After getting dressed, washing up, and walking out of the room, I happened to meet Han Enjing, who was lazily walking out of the door.
"Slave, aren't you resting today, why are you getting up so early?"
Park Ji-sub habitually approached the girl, hugged the other party and sniffed the body fragrance on the girl's body, and asked in a milky voice.
"I'm going to buy something!" Han Eunjing smiled and bent down to pinch Park Ji-sub's face, and by the way, helped the other party straighten out the collar: "Pay attention to your clothes, you are also a great writer." ”
"Isn't there a slave?" Park Ji-sub kissed the girl on the face and said indifferently.
Han Enjing was stunned, chuckled and hugged Xiao Zhengtai: "I can't live in your house for a lifetime, you will grow up and meet more people in the future." I will also be busy with my own affairs because of my career, and we will get more and more ...... when we meet."
"Slave, just marry me!"
Park Ji-sub looked up with a smile, looked at Han Eunjing with a real look, and shouted in his still slightly immature voice.
"Yes, yes, it would be nice to marry you."
After Han Enjing's body stiffened imperceptibly, he replied helplessly: "Don't delay, there is something else to do today." ”
Park Ji-sub looked at the girl who ran downstairs in a hurry and squinted her eyes! For the first time, or for the first time since he met Han Enjing, this woman lied. Xiao Zhengtai pursed his lips, sometimes, people's hearts are really difficult to guess.
Han Enjing is an actor, if you are not familiar with Han Enjing's way of speaking, as well as habits! Park Ji-sub really couldn't detect the other party's abnormality. Usually when she gets up in the morning, the girl will never leave him behind, and leave alone first.
Suppressing the cranky thoughts in his heart, Park Ji-sub sorted out his things, went out to get in the car, and went to the café. At half past eight, Xiao Zhengtai arrived at the Citrine café on time. Speaking of which, this has become his office and part-time negotiation location.
After taking the breakfast prepared by my father, I went to the second floor and sat down, turned on the computer and called up the things I had sorted out last night, and nibbled on the egg cake in my hand while checking it! About half an hour or so, a man with a peaked cap, a gray cotton jacket on his upper body, and a black trousers on his lower body, led by Wu Xijie, walked over.
"Ji-sub, this is Lee Jun-ik, director Lee."
Oh Seok-jie coughed lightly, and after seeing that Park Ji-sub's attention was finally on him, he introduced with a smile.
Park Ji-sub began to look at the visitor carefully, and he seemed to have a mustache under his big nostrils, and his face looked very old.
"Hello Director Lee, I'm Park Ji-sub." Xiao Zhengtai got up, stood and stretched out his little hand to introduce himself.
"Hello...... Hello! The look of surprise in Li Junyi's eyes showed without omission, and he shook hands with Xiao Zhengtai with a wry smile: "I heard that Citrine is a student and underage, but I really didn't expect it...... Too young. ”
Park Ji-sub was amused by these words, and the strangeness of the first meeting between the two seemed to have diminished a lot in this joke. Then Lee Jun-ik and Park Ji-sub just briefly politely got to the point.
A few months ago, Li Junyi took a fancy to the book "The King's Man" and wanted to adapt him into a movie. However, his own investment failed, and the production company was on the verge of bankruptcy, so he didn't have much money to invest. So he wanted Park Ji-sub to cooperate with him, write the script and attract investment, and relying on the name of Citrine, I believe many people are also happy to take this ride.
It's just to his surprise that Park Ji-sub actually came up with the idea of investing on his own.
"This is the script, Director Li can take it back and take a look at it first, the preparation of the crew is still bothering you." Park Ji-sub took out a USB flash drive from his computer bag and put it in front of the other party and said politely.
"No problem, as long as the funds are in place, I can bring back all my old colleagues immediately." Li Junyi agreed without pressure.
He is already a young man who knows what he can and can't do. Although the novel "The King's Man" is absurd and the subject matter is also very sensitive, as long as the plot and the deep meaning revealed in it can be expressed through the movie, it will definitely be a classic.
Of course, this is Lee Jun-yi's point of view. In Park Ji-sub's view, this movie is a weakened version of Hwakook's "Farewell My Concubine". However, some aspects will be more innovative, such as the image of Yan Shanjun and the demon woman Lushui has been analyzed at another level, so that the two who have formed an inherent image have made a breakthrough.
In addition, the core character of this movie, the male protagonist who is more enchanting than a woman.
In this filming of "The King's Man", Park Ji-sub will not interfere with Lee Jun-ik's ideas except for investment, as well as providing scripts and revision opinions. After more than an hour of discussion, one big and one small, they finally stopped.
"By the way, Ji-sub, do you have any thoughts on the choice of the leading actor?" Li Junyi looked at Zhengtai with burning eyes and asked curiously.
"I'll talk about it then, when Director Li has finished the crew, I will naturally give you a plan for the protagonist problem." Park Ji-sub smiled and replied unhurriedly.
"The King's Man" is easy to find other characters, but only one needs to be carefully considered! That is the actor of the protagonist Kong Ji. In the original "Er", Kong Ji is just a play. But in Park Ji-sub's writing, Kong Ji is an important introduction in the whole story.
The role must be a man, but it must show characteristics that are more charming or even beautiful than a woman, and the acting skills must be excellent! Looking at the entire entertainment industry, it seems that there are really few such actors. After all, warm men and uncles are popular in Korea, and you don't see Zhang Dongjian and Won Bin, all of which are bubbling.
In addition, the original author of this novel is Park Ji-sub, and he must have a vague concept of Kong Ji in his heart, which is why Lee Jun-ik would ask such a question.
After sending Lee Jun-ik away, Park Ji-sub began to think about his plans for next year. The filming time cycle of "The King's Man" is about half a year, plus post-production and review, it is estimated that it will be released in August next year.
According to the market situation in the previous life, postponing the release of the movie to December is the best choice. Park Ji-sub tapped his fingers on the table and slowly straightened out the plan.
If "Jin Hancai's Travels" is his real start in this world, then "The King's Man" is his opportunity to take off. If nothing else, when he returns from England next year, he will be able to start his real plans.
