Chapter 68: Time for the Wolf and the Dog
"Time for wolves and dogs?" Lin Youmian opened the outline of another script and repeated the title of the play in a muttered manner.
This TV series, called "Time of the Wolf and the Dog", was specially marked with a key mark by Kwon Eun-chan.
The name of this script is interesting, it is said to be taken from a French proverb.
This is the story of a national intelligence elite criminal group to fight, the actor Lee so-hyun has experienced undercover, amnesia, and enmity with his friends, etc., and according to the plan, it will be a water and wood drama.
The script is not like the previous ones, there is only one outline, but a very detailed script, which has obviously been revised by the screenwriter many times, Lin Youmeng carefully read it, and it can be seen that the director and screenwriter have spent a lot of effort on the plot, and the story is full of surnames, Lin Youmeng liked this script after observing it once.
Just from the script level, it is on par with "The War of Money", this is an action-type black TV series, which is quite different from Korean dramas in the traditional sense, in short, it is a police story that mixes black and white, good and evil, family and love.
Judging from the outline of the script, there will be fierce action scenes such as car chases, fights, and shooting between the enemy and the enemy in the film, as well as psychological warfare between their respective internal personnel;
In the emotional line, there are not only the twists and turns of the protagonist's life experience, but also the friendship between the male number two who are like siblings and the love triangle between the heroine who was a childhood friend;
Of course, the most exciting thing is the mutual tug-of-war and wrestling between the green gangs represented by justice and evil, and several lines are clearly depicted. Full of tension and blending with each other. Predictable. This will be a touching TV series that tugs at the heartstrings and is full of emotion.
If you insist on comparing a TV series, there is no one in the history of Korean TV dramas that is truly of the same type, in Lin Youming's impression, a foreign movie called "Infernal Affairs" is quite similar to "Time of the Wolf and the Dog".
A rare good script! However, there are many more things he has to worry about!
First of all, even if this script is wonderful, it is an out-and-out niche TV series, if it is possible to gain something from making it into a movie, in the field of TV dramas, how many ratings can a black drama have in South Korea, where the aunt controls the remote control?
Lin Youming thought about it with his toes and knew that soap and love were the favorite of aunts, even if Shuimu dramas were less affected by aunt factors.
TV series with a niche theme generally can't gain much in the ratings based on the script alone, so the TV station and the producer have set their sights on the actors and actresses who are now popular new stars in the field of TV dramas.
When Lim Woo-chan received this script, Kwon Eun-chan had already told him that the role of the male number one Lee so-hyun had been taken by Lee Joon-gi, which was also a test of the superstar Lee Joon-gi in the film field since "The King's Man", and he was determined to break the original image stereotype.
The male number one has been determined, and Lin Youmeng can compete, and only the male number two Jiang Minji can compete! Director Kim Jin-min also sent an audition invitation for the second male lead.
Kang Min-gi in the play is the chief officer of the cold but very humane NIS, watching his father abandon him because of the case, and his friends become enemies, and his heart is full of contradictions.
This is also a brilliant role, and there are enough rivalry scenes with the male lead, although the inner changes and entanglements are far less complicated than the male lead.
Not to mention the role, just the two new-generation actors Lee Joon-gi and Lim You-min co-starred in a TV series, and the gimmicks of Biao's popularity and acting skills are enough to attract a large number of people to pay attention to this TV series!
This is the mind of the TV station and the producer, and it is also the reason why Kwon Eun-chan recommended Lin Youyang to play the second male lead.
But on the other hand, there is a certain conflict between "The Time of the Wolf and the Dog" and the "War of Money" in the filming time, according to Kwon Euncan's suggestion, the two can only be one of the two, in addition to the energy and quality of acting are guaranteed, Lin Youyang will also give part of his time to the fashion circle this year.
The current Lim You-mung is a new rising fragrant bun in the fashion industry, and the price of a catwalk is at least 10 million won, and there are countless invitations from various CFs, among which the highest clothing CF has reached 70 million won.
However, these Lin Youyang temporarily suppressed Kwon Eun-chan, and now the most important task is to stabilize his popularity in the entertainment industry.
Although Lin Youming is a little moved, compared to the temptation of the male number one in "The War of Money", the second male number one in "The Time of the Wolf and the Dog" is still a little thin to impress him, even if he goes to the audition of "The Time of the Wolf and the Dog", it is almost certain to get the role of Jiang Minji, and the "War of Money" still needs rounds of interviews and competition.
Put the two scripts side by side on the coffee table, pinch a small iron spoon, and gently knock on the wall of the coffee porcelain cup, and the collision between the spoon and the wall makes a few tinkling sounds, which is beautiful and pleasant. Then it stirred gently, and the aroma of coffee filled the air, which calmed Lin Youmi's mind.
Gradually, a realization rose in his heart, and Lin Youyang pinched his chin with one hand and held it on the table.
What if two TV series were picked up together?
Lin Youmian was taken aback by his thoughts, his hand slammed, and the spoon stirred in the coffee, splashing a few drops of coffee.
Lin Youmian didn't care at all, but thought about the possible implementation of this idea with great interest.
"The Time of the Wolf and the Dog" is earlier than the "War of Money" in terms of start-up time, but there is only a little more than a month apart, which means that if Lin Youming's idea is to be implemented, then when he finishes filming "The Time of the Wolf and the Dog", there will be no time for adjustment, and he must devote himself to the filming of "War of Money" non-stop.
He has confidence in himself, but how to convince the directors of the two TV series, especially the director of "The War of Money", Zhang Taiyun.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Youyang gradually had a rough plan in his mind, this idea still needs to be brewed, at least discuss it with Kwon Eun-chan first, and then communicate with the crew, director, adjust the itinerary and a series of other work.
This idea was a challenge for him.
He loves a challenge!
If he succeeds, not to mention anything else, for Lin Youmeng himself, he will step from an idol faction to a powerful faction, and even an idol powerful faction.
