Chapter 171: Starring in "IRIS"

On the evening of October 14, the premiere of KBS's "IRIS" drama attracted the attention of viewers and media. However, it was accompanied by a statement from YG Economy's official website and announced to major entertainment media in South Korea, that is, T.O.P. Choi Seung-hyun, a member of YG Economy's BigBang group, had slipped and fell on the stairs and injured his ankle, and had been hospitalized for examination and treatment that afternoon.

According to the injury examination report presented by the hospital in the evening, Choi Seung-hyun will not be able to participate in any location activities for the next one and a half months to two months. YG Agencies and himself apologized for the announcement and various events he had planned to attend during this time.

After all, natural disasters and man-made disasters are something that cannot be helped. Entertainment news media also followed up with the hospital and YG's agency for news as soon as possible. All of a sudden, BigBang fans on the Internet and Choi Seung-hyun personally expressed sympathy and sadness for his injury, and then all kinds of messages wishing him a good recovery and a speedy recovery.

However, in addition to the concerns about the development of the BigBang group and Choi Seung-hyun in the music industry in the next month or two, some objective and neutral netizens raised their own questions, that is, for the TV series "IRIS" premiered on KBS TV tonight, Choi Seung-hyun was supposed to play a cold-blooded killer role in it. "IRIS" was already held in May this year. In addition to the leading actors, Choi Seung-hyun also attended. Now that he is injured, and the TV series has been released, how will the crew deal with this.

It is also just after the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Busan Film Festival is coming to an end, and the entertainment media and the public in South Korea can finally free up their attention to other entertainment news. Therefore, in the early morning of the 15th of the next day, when the major entertainment media and newspaper companies in South Korea were notified that the crew of "IRIS" would hold a press conference in the hall of KBS TV, they were already waiting early.

******

"Brother Junhao, hello." In the KBS annex, Chen Jae-cai entered the lounge where the "IRIS" crew was scheduled this morning, and saw Jung Jun-ho being the first to arrive.

"Oh my God. Hello. Zheng Junhao, who was sitting in the waiting room, looked up and saw Chen Zaitian. He also smiled gently: "I didn't expect you to arrive so early." "Jung Jun-ho doesn't have the frame of his predecessors at all, and he has a capable and gentle appearance, which makes him look more approachable.

"Where, Brother Junhao, didn't you arrive before me." Chen Zaitian bowed to Jung Jun-ho. Only then did he walk up and bow down to shake his hand.

"Come on. Have a seat. They'll be there in a minute. Zheng Junhao smiled and motioned for Chen Zaitian to sit down.

Chen Zaitian hurriedly thanked him and bowed again before daring to sit down.

"You kid is really amazing, I haven't paid much attention to the news in the circle for a while. I went home last night and read the news about you on the Internet, and it really scared me. Zheng Junhao looked at the young and handsome boy in front of him and couldn't help but praise. He can tell the truth, he spends most of his time doing housework at home, otherwise practicing taekwondo or playing golf with friends, which are his hobbies.

The problem encountered by the crew last night, Zheng Junhao also had a headache. The start of filming of a TV series and the injury of an actor are already a headache, but those are things that PDs and screenwriters have to consider, and these senior actors can at most help with some small suggestions or contacts.

Regarding Director Kim Kyu-tae's change of actors, he and Lee Byung-hun are very much in favor. They had already read the main frame of the script at the beginning of the year, and they felt that it was still very important for the cold-blooded killer role that Choi Seung-hyun was originally going to play. As one of the screenwriters and writers said at the meeting last night, it would be too far-fetched to change the script and delete the characters or add another character to replace them.

However, when it comes to changing actors, he also has a headache with where to find new actors, because this role is generally more suitable for younger actors to play. And let Zheng Junhao contact the new generation of young actors at this juncture and help the crew, not to mention, he has been a film and television amphibious since his debut for more than ten years, and his friends in the circle are also Zhang Dongjian, Zheng Xiongren, Shin Hyunjun, Ahn Jae-wook and other 'mature men', and he doesn't know any of the young actors of the new generation.

Li Bingxian's situation is similar to him, he wants him to be replaced by a new generation of powerful students like Chen Jiu or Gao Xiu under BH Entertainment, but it is estimated that the production fee of the crew will have to be doubled.

Fortunately, as the crew was busy for an hour and contacted many young actors and male artists to no avail, Kim Tae-hee stood up and said that he knew a very good young male actor and could introduce him to the crew.

When he saw Chen Zaitian for the first time, Zheng Junhao had a feeling that this young man would definitely fall into the eyes of the two directors and screenwriters, which was an intuition and feeling in his acting career for more than ten years, and even that he might be more able to fill in this role than Choi Seung-hyun. This feeling comes from the calm atmosphere that he feels from Chen Zaitian that does not belong to young people, and he also has a calm temperament, which is verified by his not humble and arrogant greeting everyone, and not being nervous at all to deal with the questions of the two directors Kim Kyu-tae and Yang Yun-ho. So after Zheng Junhao returned home last night, he rarely went online and found Chen Zaitian's name.

There hasn't been a lot of news about Mr. Chen, but it's basically the news that he starred in the movie "Righteous Brothers" and that he was shooting a public service announcement with a group of top Hallyu stars last month. After reading the above content, he was suddenly taken aback. 12 top stars of Hallyu, what is this concept, he doesn't understand how this young man can be recognized by Ahn Sung-ki and Park Chong-hoon, the two members in charge of this public service advertisement, in short, he can't do it, and it is estimated that there should be few young artists like him in the Korean entertainment industry who can do it. After that, there were a lot of posts about him on the Internet, and his handsome appearance seemed to have some popularity and fans. Because Zheng Junhao saw that many female fans expressed their admiration on the post.

"Thank you, Brother Junhao, I hope you can teach me more in acting skills in the future." Chen Zaitian hurriedly replied to Zheng Junhao with a smile modestly.

Seeing Chen Zaitian's decent answer, Zheng Junhao also nodded and said jokingly: "Of course there is no problem with this, but you suggest that you better go to Brother Bingxian, his acting skills are first-class great." ”

"Li Bingxian's predecessors are of course first-class, but Brother Junhao, you are not bad, and I think every actor should have his own acting characteristics, Brother Junhao, you have a lot of things worth learning from me."

"Hehe, yes, what you said is very reasonable, every actor will have their own acting characteristics, and the good side is worth learning from. Okay, if you encounter any problems during filming, just come to me, I will guide you wherever you can. "Zheng Junhao, who originally thought that Chen Zaitian was very good, now thinks that he is even better!

"Hello Senior Kim So-yeon!"

"Hello senior Kim Seung-woo!"

After Kim So-yeon and Kim Seung-woo entered the lounge, Chen Jae-tian immediately got up with Jung Jun-ho to greet them. He didn't see the two of them and Lee Byung-hun last night, it was too late, and when Kim Tae-hee recommended him to pick him up, they had already gone back, and Jung Jun-ho stayed behind to help in the crew.

Chen Jaetian introduced himself to the two, and then Kim Kyu-tae PD, Yang Yunhao PD and several other screenwriters and work leaders in the crew also arrived.

"Okay, let's get ready, we will rush to the shooting venue after the press conference in a while, and make up the shots of Chen Zaitian as soon as possible at noon, and then we can have enough time to take the footage back and edit it from scratch. Lee Byung-hun has another activity schedule, so he won't be here today. Yang Yunhao PD said hello, and said to Chen Zaitian: "Chen Zaitian, come here." ”

"Yang PD." Hearing Yang Yunhao's shout, Chen Zaitian hurriedly walked over.

"At the press conference for a while, you pay attention, try not to answer too many questions, the focus is still on your joining and starring in the TV series, understand?" Yang Yunhao said to Chen Zaitian.

Chen Zaitian nodded and replied, "Knowing Yang PD, I will pay attention." ”

Naturally, I saw the same last night this morning, and Chen Jaetian, who was brought back to the crew by Kim Tae-hee, passed the audition of Kim Kyu-tae and Yang Yun-ho and others very smoothly. They were all appreciative of Chen's fluent and pure British English accent during the interview. At the very least, this is already a simple request for the characters in their play, because many of the characters in the play have to speak in English.

The second point is naturally Chen Zaitian's appearance and temperament. Jung Jun-ho, a veteran actor, can feel it, and Kim Kyu-tae and Yang Yoon-ho, who are directors, can naturally feel it, which is enough. After all, to be honest, sometimes the requirements for acting skills in TV dramas are not as harsh as in movies, and they need to be delicate to the exquisite interpretation of the characters' expressions and demeanors, so why even male star idols like Choi Seung-hyun who have a strong color in the song industry can appear in the first place. And Chen Zaitian, that is the actor of the movie "Righteous Brothers"! (To be continued......)
