Chapter 530: The Heroine
The image that flashed in Li Junxi's mind made him himself stunned, if he could, he really didn't want to have any contact with the other party anymore.
However, when Lee Jun-hee went through almost all Korean actresses in his head, he suddenly found that only this person seemed to be the most suitable.
Jun Ji-hyun!
Lee Jun-hee left this name on the script, crossed it out several times, and rewrote it several times.
Once beloved, after the breakup, Lee Jun-hee really didn't want to have any contact with Jun Ji-hyun anymore, but every time he made up his mind to cross out Jun Ji-hyun's name, there was another voice in his heart saying it.
This is the film, this is for the sake of art, and private feelings should be put aside!
Writing Jun Ji Hyun's name again, Lee Jun Hee couldn't help but show a wry smile, it seems that there is still no way!
After the breakup, the two did not have any contact for a long time, and after returning from the army, Li Junxi forced himself to cut off all his past feelings, but at Jiang Hudong's wedding scene, they actually reunited.
The reason why Lee Jun-hee was surprised is because he knows Jun Ji-hyun very well, don't look at Jun Ji-hyun now changing to a sexy style, but in private, she is a very introverted person, and when she doesn't have a shooting job, she stays at home most of the time, not like other artists who talk about introverts, but really introverted. I don't like noisy places, and I am usually either at home or at work, and I hardly go out.
After the two broke up, Lee Jun-hee even heard others say that she suffered a lot from depression for a while.
Aside from film promotions and advertisements, Jun Ji-hyun rarely appears in public, and only a handful of interviews are given. Of course, the broadcast of the commercial has allowed her to maintain a fairly high exposure, and she seems to prefer to live a little more freely in private.
Lee Jun-hee, who knows Jun Ji-hyun, knows. The reason why Jun Ji-hyun is like this is not because of mysticism, but because as an actor, it is important for people to remember themselves in their works, isn't it? At least, she's been working towards that goal all these years.
Jun Ji-hyun, who has this kind of personality, has never attended an insider's wedding. The funeral was almost a life of isolation, but that day Jiang Hudong's wedding, she actually went.
After meeting at the wedding, Jun Ji-hyun called Lee Jun-hee again, but since then, the two have not been in touch.
Who knows, this time because of Lee Jun-hee's movie, he actually remembered Jun Ji-hyun again. Although he tried his best to change to another person to play it, in Lee Jun-hee's mind, once he thought of the character of Huang Xiaoxian, the image of Jun Ji-hyun would appear immediately after.
There are many kinds of actors in this world, there is the aura of Jang Nara, the heroic spirit of Shin Eun-kyung, and the sweetness of Song Hye Kyo. There are also ten years of acting skills to hang a sword.
Lee Jun-hee doesn't know which one Jun Ji-hyun should belong to, but he thinks so. Even if her facial features are not the most beautiful and her body is not the most explosive, she has an attribute on her body that should not disappear from the screen, which is her uniqueness.
Jun Ji-hyun became famous because of "My Sassy Girlfriend", although the movie was very successful, but Lee Jun-hee felt it. In the first half of the movie, Jun Ji-hyun's performance was not outstanding, and her success lies in the second half of the movie, she seems to be born to play that kind of role, and behind her smile is melancholy. The image of sadness underneath the calm, when she is not smiling, her dark eyes feel that there are many stories hidden.
Therefore, even after watching "Daisy", which has very beautiful camera scenes, Lee Jun-hee is most impressed by Jun Ji-hyun's bright and sad face in his famous work.
Jun Ji-hyun's image is full of reunited with the role of Huang Xiaoxian in Lee Jun-hee's mind, and it can't be erased at all.
Li Junxi couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed, it seems that fate is really playing tricks on people!
took out her mobile phone and called Lee Hyo-jung, without saying anything, just asking her to contact Jun Ji-hyun's agency.
"You don't have to talk too much to them, just tell each other that this role is very suitable for Jun Ji-hyun, and I hope she will think about it!"
When Lee Hyo-jeong hung up the phone, she was still full of doubts, of course she knew that Lee Jun-hee had been planning to shoot a movie, but it was so late, why did Lee Jun-hee suddenly call her and ask her to contact Jun Ji-hyun's agency, hoping to invite Jun Ji-hyun to play the heroine of the movie.
Soon, Li Xiaozhen's mobile phone rang a prompt tone, Li Junxi had already sent the script to her mailbox, it was too late to see the time, she didn't have the heart to read the script, and found the phone number of the person in charge of the film and television department of Jun Ji-hyun's agency, after a simple greeting, Li Xiaozhen explained her intention, and then sent the script over, how the other party decides, she just needs to wait.
Similarly, the other party was very puzzled by the fact that the executive director of NRG suddenly contacted him and invited Jun Ji-hyun to play the heroine of Lee Jun-hee's directorial debut.
However, this seems to be a very good opportunity, although Lee Jun Hee is a rookie director, but as a screenwriter, Lee Jun Hee's strength has been recognized in the industry, one TV series, three movies, Lee Jun Hee's works as screenwriters, there is no one who is not popular, if Jun Ji Hyun can catch this east wind, maybe he will go further in his career, just around the corner.
Don't look at Jun Ji-hyun's fame, there are a lot of movie invitations and advertising endorsement contracts every year, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that except for "My Sassy Girlfriend", Jun Ji-hyun's works do not leave a deep impression on people.
This is a very embarrassing thing, famous, but there are no more masterpieces, until now when people think of Jun Ji-hyun, the first thing that comes to mind is still the "My Sassy Girlfriend" six years ago.
In fact, aside from Jun Ji Hyun's popular advertising works, Jun Ji Hyun's star journey is really not smooth, 26-year-old Jun Ji Hyun entered the entertainment industry in 1997 as a magazine model, and has been the host of "Popular Ballads", and starred in some film and television works, the film and television work that really made her popular was "My Sassy Girlfriend" in 2001.
This movie, which mobilized 5 million people, not only made Jun Ji-hyun successfully promoted to a first-line actress, but also won her the most important Daejong Award for Best Actress to date.
Since then, Jun Ji-hyun has become a beautiful symbol, beautiful and strong, counting her film works after reaching the top, in fact, there are not many of them, basically maintaining the rhythm of one or two years a year, but basically every time there are new transformation attempts, obviously she also wants to get rid of the follow-up effects of that kind of brutal girlfriend.
However, the result is always contrary to the original wish, 2003's "Dining Table for Four", although partnered with Park Shinyang, but the pale script made the film not only not get an excellent box office, but instead attracted the public's first doubts about Jun Ji-hyun's acting skills.
Later, Jun Ji-hyun and Jang Hyuk's "My Savage Senior Sister" is known as the prequel to "Savage Girlfriend", but because the mode is too similar to the character's personality, it is somewhat suspected of fried cold rice.
The recent "Daisy" is a big production, and the cast is strong, but Jun Ji-hyun seems to have fallen into a strange circle and has never found a path that suits him, and the audience seems to prefer to see a beautiful vase rather than an actress trying to transform.
At a certain time, many people said that Jun Ji-hyun was no longer the preferred actor for the filmmakers when choosing roles, which was also something that could not be helped, and no one could guarantee that he would always be at the top, and as an actor, it was more important to focus more on the script.
Although she won the Best Actress award at the Daejong Awards in 2002, Jun Ji-hyun's character is far less impressive than her bright and moving image in the advertisement.
Therefore, Jun Ji-hyun was also criticized as "just an advertising star", or "no acting skills", Jun Ji-hyun also thought about moving trees to death and people to live, since it is impossible to find a breakthrough in South Korea, then to the unfamiliar United States, this place where no one knows him, maybe there will be a new beginning.
Korean film actors, like those IDOL in the music industry, have never stopped yearning for Hollywood, and Jun Ji-hyun is no exception, when she found that she could not make a breakthrough in South Korea, she set her sights on the United States on the other side of the ocean.
In Asia, she is a well-known star, but in the United States, she is like a blank slate, and the strangeness of lack of understanding is mutual.
Because of this, she can show herself in front of the American staff without any scruples, and in South Korea, directors or staff often care about the face of big-name stars, and will subconsciously relax the standards, which is harmful to the development of actors.
On the contrary, in this unfamiliar shooting scene in the United States, Jun Ji-hyun found the momentum that constantly spurred him when he first entered the industry.
In order to be able to gain a foothold in the United States, Jun Ji-hyun put a lot of preparation work in the early stage, in addition to speaking English well, even physical fitness has also exercised, at first she can only run on the treadmill for ten minutes and is out of breath, and later, she can easily run for an hour every day.
But unfortunately, Jun Ji-hyun's invasion of Hollywood did not have the desired effect, and in that unfamiliar environment, although she completely let go of her hands and feet, it is really difficult for Asian faces to get opportunities in that white supremacy environment.
In the end, both Jun Ji-hyun himself and the brokerage company saw the reality clearly and understood that the Korean market is fundamental.
But Jun Ji-hyun, who returned to South Korea, still didn't get too good a chance, and she could only shoot some commercials as before, the only difference was that the price of these endorsement contracts had also risen a lot as she returned from the United States.
If you can get the role of the heroine in Lee Jun-hee's directorial debut, it seems to be a very good opportunity for Jun Ji-hyun. (To be continued.) )
