Chapter 59: Crew Meeting
Cui Zhenlong and Song MM are familiar with each other when they talk and talk, and take this opportunity Cui Zhenlong also raised some acting questions, Song Hye Kyo did not refuse, and patiently told him with her acting experience, Xian Yu Yinshu will also interject a few words from time to time on the side, at this moment Cui Zhenlong once again turned into a good student, constantly absorbing the various filming points that need to be paid attention to in the two of them, which made Cui Zhenlong, who had no clue about acting, have some hazy concepts, But if he really wants to turn these things into his own and flexibly use them in real shooting, Cui Zhenlong still has a long way to go.
"Cui Zhenlongxi, please come out, someone is looking for you outside!"
"Inside, just come" Hearing someone call him, Cui Zhenlong hurriedly got up and came to the door of the room, only to see a middle-aged man in his forties with a handbag in his hand waiting for him in the corridor, Cui Zhenlong tried to recall, as if he didn't remember that he knew this person, but he still stepped forward and asked politely: "Hello, I'm Cui Zhenlong, may I ask who you are??" ”
The man with the bag immediately bowed and saluted back, "Hello, Cui Zhenlongxi." I'm Lee Byung-guk, and I'm affiliated with C.P Film & Television, and President Choi called to say that I wanted the company to send someone to KBS TV to help you deal with contract issues, so I came over. ”
The first time he was called by an adult who was much older than him in honorifics, Cui Zhenlong still felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly returned the salute and thanked him. It's no wonder that Li Bingguo treats him like this, after all, for Li Bingguo himself, Cui Zhenlong's identity is equivalent to the prince of the company, and now that the country's economy is in a recession, he is counting on his current job to support his family. Li Bingguo took the initiative to lower his position regardless of the age gap between the two, his thinking was very clear, as long as the half-grown child in front of him was coaxed, the effect would be much better than doing any other work in the company. Korean society is such a reality, having money is equal to having status, even if the other party is just a minor child!
Cui Zhenlong briefly introduced his current situation to Li Bingguo, and explained that his filming this time is purely in the nature of playing tickets, and the remuneration given by KBS should not be too outrageous, and Li Bingguo can watch it in other aspects. After saying these words, Cui Zhenlong took Li Bingguo to introduce him to Director Yoon Seok-ho, and then turned around and left in a dashing manner.
Returning to his original position, Choi Jin-ryong saw that Song Seung-heon, Song Hye Kyo, Han Chae-young and other protagonists were talking to the lines with emotion at this moment, so he sat down quietly and watched the performances of these new-generation actors seriously, and also took out his notebook from time to time to record what he realized on paper, and noticed his actions on the side of Zheng Dong-hwan (as Yoon Jun-hee's father), Kim Hae-sook (as Yoon Eun-hee's biological mother), Xian Yu Eun-sook and other old actors also couldn't stop nodding secretly, it doesn't matter if the performance foundation is poor, The key is that one's own attitude and willingness to work hard are the secrets to success.
After the end of the crew meeting, it was relatively late in time, according to the previous practice, Yin Xihu took the lead in proposing that everyone go to a dinner together, of course, everyone present will not be stupid to refuse, this is a rare good opportunity to shorten the distance between the director and the screenwriter, it is really stupid not to grasp it!
When Cui Zhenlong followed everyone out of the room, he saw Li Bingguo still waiting in the corridor, "Hey?? Uncle Li Bingguo, haven't you gone back yet? ”
"Inside, this contract with the crew has been completed, Cui Zhenlongxi, why don't you take a look at it first? … There is also a temporary contract that President Choi specially explained on the phone, and you must sign it after reading it. ”
“??” Cui Zhenlong's face was full of surprise, I don't understand what tricks Cui Gengyou did this time, he took over two contracts from Li Bingguo, the first is the performance contract between Cui Zhenlong and KBS, the projects listed above are very detailed, and the salary is also very reasonable, much better than Cui Zhenlong's original imagination, it seems that Director Yoon Seok-ho is still quite powerful, he takes care of himself as a newcomer, Cui Zhenlong nodded with satisfaction and no longer looked at the content of this contract.
The second is a temporary economic contract between Cui Zhenlong and C.PEntertainment, the content is relatively simple, in which the two parties sign a contract for a period of one year, during which Li Bingguo will serve as Cui Zhenlong's temporary agent and arrange for him to engage in related performing arts activities, and there will be priority signing rights under the same conditions after the contract expires.
Cui Zhenlong looked at the contract in his hand, thinking about Li Bingguo's words just now, he knew that it was Cui Gengyou who took this opportunity to take revenge on himself, this man who always doesn't deal with his son and likes to eat his wife's aged vinegar, it's really ~~ What is this, Cui Zhenlong just wants to take over the C.PEntertainment company soon, but now it's better to trap himself first, but he has become the company's first officially signed artist.
Originally, Cui Zhenlong could choose to refuse to sign this temporary contract, but thinking about Cui Gengyou's sometimes naïve character, if Cui Zhenlong didn't sign it this time, I don't know what trick he would come up with next time to rectify him. After looking at this contract back and forth again, Cui Zhenlong happily signed his name after thinking that there was no big problem, but it seems that everyone has forgotten a very important thing, Cui Zhenlong himself is still a minor, and signing this temporary contract is completely non-binding... Well, this contract is actually a big joke for Choi Gengyou and Choi Jinlong, does their company still need to sign a contract? Its value is just to make everyone happy.
After saying goodbye to Li Bingguo, who completed the task, Cui Zhenlong trotted to keep up with the large army in front, the location of the crew's dinner was not far from KBS TV, and it was less than five minutes away on foot, the first choice for Koreans to have a dinner was of course a barbecue restaurant, don't look at the store that Yin Xihu chose this time The façade is not big, but it is famous in terms of word-of-mouth, and you still need to book in advance if you want to eat here. A large army drove into this barbecue restaurant, and immediately filled this small restaurant.
Even having a meal together is a big set of rules in South Korea, but everyone is used to it, and breaking these daily rules can seem out of place in the surrounding environment. The crew members were divided into various small groups according to their respective positions, qualifications, seniority and other relationships, and sat together, of course, no matter how close our Cui Zhenlong and Yin Xihu were, they were not qualified to sit at the main table on this occasion. Now sitting at the table with him are mainly the young actors in the crew, including Wen Genying, who he is familiar with, and Li Aizhen, a child star who played Cui Xinai when he was a teenager, and there are only three of them at this table.
Since this time it was booked in advance by Yin Xihu, as soon as everyone sat down, the waiters in the store began to serve the dishes, pork belly, all kinds of seafood, kimchi, these are of course indispensable, as for the Korean beef that is respected by the Koreans, don't think about it, if so many people on the scene start eating Korean beef, the crew's budget will be tight.
After seeing that everyone else started eating, and the little actors at Cui Zhenlong's table were also unwilling, Wen Genying, a good girl, consciously picked up a piece of pork belly and put it on the grilling plate, and the fat pork belly came out under the action of high temperature.
According to the rules of the Korean dinner table, the heavy responsibility of this barbecue generally falls on the lowest or youngest person at the same table, and at Cui Zhenlong's table, it should be the youngest of the three Cui Zhenlong, the two girls are both born in 87, almost a year older than Cui Zhenlong. However, the role of Yoon Jun-hee played by Cui Jinlong this time is older than the two girls' characters in the film, plus the difference in height between men and women, so the two girls instinctively feel that Cui Jinlong should be older than them in terms of real age, so the burden of this barbecue is on the kind-natured Moon Geun-young.
No matter how you say it, the three young actors are almost the same age, coupled with Cui Zhenlong's consciously active atmosphere on the table, the three of them sat in the corner and enjoyed themselves, eating barbecue and drinking drinks, but chatted with each other.
Don't look at how ladylike Li Aizhen was when she was in the KBS headquarters just now, but she is really a sincere and bold character. After a few pieces of barbecue meat drank several times, the whole person began to relax, and his true nature was slowly exposed.
"I was born in March '87, what about you?" Li Aizhen asked.
"I was also born in 87, we are relatives of the same generation! But my birthday is May, so I'm a little younger than you," Moon Geun-young said with a cute little pink tongue.
"What about you, Cui Zhenlong?" Li Aizhen continued to break the casserole and asked to the end.
"I was born in June '88."
……
"Ah~" Li Aizhen slapped the table vigorously angrily, "It's been a long time, it turns out that you are the youngest here, so you should do the barbecue just now, right?!" ”
Wen Genying also put down the barbecue tongs angrily with a small face on the side, and was still muttering in his heart: It turned out that this Cui Zhenlong was deceiving them!
Cui Zhenlong felt a little inexplicable, and suddenly got angry when he ate well, as if he hadn't offended them?! Then I thought back to the plot just now, uh~~ I finally found out the problem, he was the youngest and the least qualified, but the barbecue just now was Wen Genying, which was a bit out of order, no wonder they were angry.
