Chapter 144: A Walking Money Cow
Han Jiaren is a beauty, no one can deny this, and Jung Hyuk-jae has to nod and admit it. ↖,
Even in the later generations of Korean entertainment industry's 'artificial' beauties, Han Jiaren is still commented by netizens as "the most beautiful female artist in the eyes of women", "the most beautiful beauty without makeup in China and South Korea", "the woman that Korean female college students want to be the most", "the first love that Korean male college students most want to have" and other titles, even the practitioners in the domestic plastic surgery industry in South Korea have called her "female artist with the best nose shape", and the number of people who use Han Jiaren's nose shape as a template for plastic surgery has surged a lot for a period of time.
Han Jiaren is a beauty, but she does not belong to the traditional form of beauty, she belongs to the kind of beauty that is very attractive, or the more she looks at it, the more she feels charming, and her personality is not bad among female artists, a mole on the tip of her nose is like the finishing touch, which adds a lot of playfulness to her.
has a good personality and popularity, so in the entertainment industry, don't look at Han Jiaren's short time in the industry, but she also has a lot of contacts and friends.
Han Jiaren buried her head in a small bite of food, and didn't dare to raise her head, because the distance between the two was not far from the dining table, if there was a vague aroma, it would always permeate the tip of Zheng Hyukzai's nose, which was a taste that could not be described.
Jung Hyuk-jae never thought of himself as a lustful person, just like the model girlfriend he made in his previous life, he also went directly to get married, and he was only waiting for her to prepare for the engagement after the handover of the auto show, who knew that so many things happened in the middle.
An unexpected car accident sends him back ten years ago. Seoul ten years ago, self ten years ago, compared to self in previous life. At the moment, he can be considered a success.
Because of his often status as the director of the crew, Zheng Hyuk-jae has seen a lot of various types of girls, from Lin Xiujing to Han Zhizhi and Cai Yan, but the feeling of heartbeat has never appeared in any of them, so to speak, maybe he has long forgotten what kind of experience heartbeat is.
Jung Hyuk-jae thought like this, but his eyes glanced at Han Jiaren in front of him from time to time. It caused her face to flush, and she hurriedly took a few bites of vegetable and fruit salad, and hastily finished eating.
"Zheng PD. Have you eaten well? Han Jiaren raised his head and looked at Zheng Hyukjae in front of him, and asked directly.
"Alright, let's go!"
As he spoke, Jung Hyuk-jae led the way at the front. Return to the MBC main building by the same route. Sent Han Jiaren to the door of her break room.
"Beauty Xi, I'm going to go out in the afternoon, the original shooting plan for the afternoon remains unchanged, the main lens content is in charge of the Pd, if you have any questions during the shooting, you can ask the Pd Pd, or call me to ask directly."
"Okay, no problem." As she spoke, Han Jiaren pushed open the door of the lounge. Standing in front of the door, he waved his hand towards Jung Hyuk-jae, "That." Zheng PD, slow down. ”
"Okay." With that, Jung Hyuk-jae turned around and left without hesitation.
Han Jiaren looked at his distant back, standing quietly in front of the door, her eyes did not take her eyes off her, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart at this moment.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Although the two said goodbye at half past two on the phone, Jung Hyuk-jae had already come to the restaurant called 'Sun' that Lee Jun-yi's assistant said, because it was already past noon in the hotel, so there were not many people in the restaurant, and several staff members were bored playing with their mobile phones, or clicking on the video to watch a video boringly watching the video, even more than someone brushing it
In addition, the waiter was called, and Jung Hyuk-jae casually ordered a glass of boiled water, which was placed on the table, and his eyes were closely watching out of the window, just sitting here waiting for Li Junyi's arrival.
At 2:15, there were still more than ten minutes before the agreed time, and from a distance, Zheng Hyukzai had already seen the figure of Li Junyi, followed by a little girl with a bag, although it was not very good, but the style was there, and at a glance it was not an ordinary person.
Before Lee Jun Yi pushed the door in, Jung Hyuk Jae had already arrived at the front of the store first, helped push the door open, shook hands with Lee Jun Yi, and said: "Senior Lee has worked hard! ’
"You also know that I work hard, so don't come here to help me!"
Zheng Hyuk-jae has the heart to help, but he can't take care of his own work, it's the script, and the TV series "New Staff" is filming, where can he worry about other people's tasks, first manage his own 'one acre and three points of land' is the most important thing.
"Isn't there a good saying? , those who can work hard'! For a capable person like Senior Li, the work will naturally be handed over to you more. Jung Hyuk-jae walked ahead and led the group into the restaurant and sat down in their reserved seats.
"Haha, okay, okay, let's not praise each other here, a lot of people are watching!" Saying that, Li Junyi walked in the forefront.
After the three of them sat down, Zheng Hyukzai called the waiter, asked for two glasses of water and put them in front of the two of them, and asked: "It's not very clear on the phone, it's not clear what Senior Li is coming here this time for?" ”
"People will be here in a while, let's talk for a while, and then wait!" Li Junyi said so, hearing this, Zheng Hyuk-jae nodded, but he didn't drink boiled water in a hurry, and talked to Li Junyi every sentence.
While the two were chatting, Jung Hyuk Jae also knew what Lee Jun Yi had done this week.
From the moment the script was finalized, Lee Jun-ik began the casting of the main characters in the film.
This time, the casting was originally held last week, but unfortunately Jung Hyuk-jae couldn't find the time to go to the casting site last week. So this time, Lee Jun-ik called Jung Hyuk-jae to come over and participate in the determination of the final candidate for the role, which is also a recognition and respect for the screenwriter's work. It doesn't matter age or age.
Since it is the final job of the actor, it means that there is more than one person who is predetermined by the main actor.
In fact, the preparation this time is not only about casting, but also about the basic situation of the location and the construction of the shooting location a few weeks ago. Li Junyi also knew a little bit about it, so he waited for the protagonist to be determined before moving on to direct filming.
"Eh, here it is!"
Li Junyi looked out the window, walked in alone, and saw Li Junyi and Zheng Hyukjae sitting in front of him hurriedly bending down and bowing in greeting: "Li PD, screenwriter Zheng, hello!" ”
See someone coming. Li Junyi hurriedly got up and greeted, pointed to the person who came and introduced him to Jung Hyuk-jae, and only said, "Hyuk-jae xi." This is the starring role of our "King's Man" this time - Lee Joon-gi xi! ”
Jung Hyuk-jae didn't listen to Lee Jun-yi's introduction much, Lee Joon-gi, he naturally knew this person, and he didn't just know him. Some of his experiences are even clearer. After all, because of the popularity of "The King's Man" at that time, there was a lot of news about Lee Joon-gi in the online newspapers, and he read a little bit about them.
Lee Joon-gi, a man born in Gyeongsang-do in 82, is two or three years younger than Jung Hyuk-jae, although he had contact with Lee Jun-ik during casting before, but he was alone in front of the director and screenwriter, and the two who held the power of their own destiny, Lee Joon-gi never denied that he was nervous.
The tiny beads of sweat on his forehead were as if he didn't want money, and in a moment they were already all over his forehead. Seeing this, Li Junyi smiled and pulled out a few wet wipes and handed them over. "Joongi Xi, don't be nervous, let's call you over this time, the main thing is to talk and introduce ourselves to each other."
Hearing Lee Jun-ik say this, Lee Joon-gi relaxed a little, leaned his back on the back of the chair slightly, and smiled at Lee Jun-ik and Jung Hyuk-jae, "Lee PD, Zheng Bian, I am Lee Joon-gi, born in April 1982"
Lee Joon-gi gave a detailed introduction to himself, but Jung Hyuk-jae didn't listen much, his eyes were firmly fixed on Lee Joon-gi in front of him, and the image of Kong Ji in his memory seemed to be more and more full.
Lee Joon-gi is very beautiful, maybe it's a little strange to call a man 'beautiful' directly, but Lee Joon-gi is different, his first feeling is like this, a word 'beautiful'!
It's not the kind of 'big watery eyes, the eyeballs are dripping and turning' or something, he has a pair of perfect Danfeng eyes, his eyes look not small, a pair of elegant and slender, not big or small eyes, as long as a little eyeliner, it is charming, at that moment even women are compared to him a lot.
The facial features are exquisite, but not feminine, although charming and charming, but also has its own strength. This was Jung Hyuk-jae's first impression of him.
There was a long string of self-introductions for nearly four minutes, and after saying that, the real Hyuk-jae before Lee Joon-gi met stared at him, smiled embarrassedly and nodded as a sign of respect, seeing his actions, Jung Hyuk-jae also smiled lightly and said nothing.
"Hyuk Jae, what do you think of him?" During this period, Lee Jun-yi pulled Jung Hyuk-jae to the side, stared at him in front of him and asked softly.
"Very good!" Jung Hyuk-jae said honestly.
Hearing the real Hejae say this, Li Junyi was also relieved, at least in the eyes of casting, the two still have a certain tacit understanding. What Li Junyi is most afraid of is that the character he chose will be denied by the screenwriter, although everything is subject to his own words during the filming process, but the screenwriter's opinion has to be listened to.
A well-functioning, healthy and harmonious crew is definitely beneficial and harmless for the next shooting.
However, many times, the contradictions between the crews of all sizes are because of the accumulation of these small things, which is why Lee Jun-ik invited Jung Hyuk-jae to come over, no matter who the final role candidate chooses, at least Lee Jun-ik's attitude is very good.
"Where did Senior Li choose him? Don't tell me it's on the street, right? Jung Hyuk-jae asked with some doubts in his heart.
"He came over for an interview by himself, and when the casting news was released, there were more than 1,000 people who came to interview for the actor alone, and he went through three interviews of the first trial, the second test and the final test, so it can be said that he is also 'one in a thousand'!" Thinking of this, Li Junyi said with a smile.
Hearing Lee Jun-ik say this, Jung Hyuk-jae looked at Lee Joon-gi who was sitting alone at the dining table with some surprise, he didn't seem to have an agent or assistant when he came over this time, thinking of this, Jung Hyuk-jae asked Lee Jun-ik with some doubts: "Senior, has Lee Joon-gi signed a performance contract?" ”
"Signed, what's wrong?" Li Junyi said a little strangely, looked at Jung Hyuk-jae beside him, and was a little speechless.
"How much is the acting fee?" Jung Hyuk-jae continued to ask.
"Twenty million!" Although he felt strange, Li Junyi still answered truthfully, and this number is not a secret.
A black line crossed Jung Hyuk-jae's forehead, and he opened his mouth to ask Lee Jun-ik, "Don't tell me that he hasn't signed a brokerage company yet?" ”
"Yes, he came alone when he signed the contract, without an agent or assistant." Li Junyi said with a smile.
Listening to Lee Jun-yi's truthful answer, Jung Hyuk-jae covered his face with both hands, and it was really the same as he thought.
In an instant, Lee Joon-gi in front of him was no longer the personable beautiful man, nor was he Kong Ji who later captivated the country and the city, but a meat bun who could walk and run, no, it was a cash cow that could walk and run!
"The King's Man" was officially established last year, and Lee Jun-ik actually has little confidence in his heart for this "The King's Man", which is adapted from the stage play "Er", although the investment of more than 4 billion won can only be regarded as a film with small and medium-sized investment, but it is not easy for this investment to be pressed on anyone.
Regarding the prospect of watching "The King's Man", Lee Jun-ik didn't dare to speculate, but Jung Hyuk-jae was very clear! There are more than 12 million moviegoers, and the movie-watching record has been maintained for seven or eight years, and the number of moviegoers has been directly increased to 10 million by "The King's Man"!
It was through this movie that Lee Joon-gi, who was originally unknown, became famous all over the world!
Thinking of this, Jung Hyuk-jae couldn't care about Lee Jun-ik beside him, and returned to the dining table, staring at Lee Joon-gi with his eyes, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
"Meet Jung Hyuk-jae, born in the 80s, the screenwriter of "The King's Man"!" As he spoke, Jung Hyuk-jae stretched out his right hand.
Seeing this, Lee Joon-gi hurriedly reached out and shook his hand, flattered and said, "Oh, hello, hello!" ”
"I just heard Director Li say that you are still in school, right?" Jung Hyuk-jae asked.
"Yes, I was admitted to Seoul National University of the Arts in 2002!" Lee Joon-gi nodded.
Combined with some information that later generations have seen, Jung Hyuk-jae continued: "I heard that you are working part-time at school while interviewing for roles? ”
Listening to Jung Hyuk-jae's words, Lee Joon-gi hesitated slightly, but he still nodded and replied, "Yes!" ”
"Don't have a brokerage company?" This time, he finally turned the topic to the main topic, and when the words fell, Jung Hyuk-jae's eyes stared at Lee Joon-gi in front of him, afraid that he would shake his head and answer 'yes' at this time!
Fortunately, Lady Luck finally stood on Jung Hyuk-jae's side, saying "No!" Completely dispelled Jung Hyuk Jae's doubts.
"So, is Lee Joon-gi interested in joining my company?" As he spoke, the real Hejae stretched out his right hand again.
"What?" Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae's words, Lee Joon-gi opened his mouth wide and asked in surprise. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
