Chapter 48 Talent Selection
The wait was long and painful, but the results were gratifying, and Seo Ning successfully waited for a reply from Kim Eun-sook, a writer who invited Seo Ning to meet at a café near her home.
Too late to tell Park Jin-young the news, Xu Ning appeared in the café at the speed of angry Bolt and Schumacher.
Taking a sip of coffee, Kim Eun-sook looked up at the young man in front of him, compared with more than 1 week ago, this young man looked a little thinner, and his eyes were also full of some bloodshots, it seems that he has stayed up late during this time, coughed lightly, and said: "It's really hard to believe, Mr. Xu Ning, you can actually write such an excellent story script within a week, its excellence is much beyond my expectations, I don't think there is any need to delete the plot anymore, you can directly change it into a shot script." ”
"Ms. Kim Eun-sook has won the award, I hope you can improve it more, I always feel that something is missing in it." Xu Ning replied very modestly, he did feel that this was indeed a little different from the "Inheritors" he had watched in his previous life, but he couldn't say where the difference was.
In fact, it is normal to have differences, because no matter how much he recalls and restores, the script he writes always carries his understanding of the original story, and the original script is conceived and written according to Kim Eun-sook's ideas, which naturally cannot be exactly the same, but the difference in Kim Eun-sook's opinion has its own taste, which means that Xu Ning's "Inheritors" with Xu's characteristics has been initially successful, at least in the first step, there is no tiger and no anti-dog.
"I don't know if Director Xu Ning is interested in getting more involved in the drama in the future, but I believe that with the potential you have shown so far, you can become an excellent playwright." Kim Eun-sook said.
"Ms. Kim Eun-sook, you have a good reputation, I know that this attempt has completely overdrawn my ability, and Jiang Lang has exhausted it. It's better to rely on professionals like you in the future. Xu Ning smiled faintly.
"It's a shame." Kim Eun-sook felt very pity, but she didn't say much, in her opinion, since Xu Ning is the director of JYPE, she naturally has an extraordinary background, and things like script creation can only be done occasionally, and it is indeed impossible to engage in it for a long time.
Xu Ning is afraid of "copying" him because of this "plagiarism", if he comes back a few more times in the future, the excellent Korean dramas he has seen and understood in his previous life will be so much, and sooner or later he will be "copied".
Back at JYP headquarters, Seo Ning told Park Jin-young about the contact with Kim Eun-sook, and the gorilla looked very excited and asked, "Now that the script has been settled, all that remains is to find the production team and actors, which director do you plan to invite to shoot?" ”
"If you want to be a director, I recommend choosing director Kang Shin-hyo." If you want to recommend someone else, you don't know who to choose, so it's better to use the original team, Xu Ning decided to let Director Jiang Xinxiao come.
"Oh, director Jiang Xinxiao, I know him, he has directed the TV series "Marrying a Millionaire" and the director of the movie "Lao Qian", he is a good candidate." Gorilla said, "Since he was chosen, the rest of the production staff will be left to him to choose, and as an investor, we have the right to recommend some actors." As he spoke, the gorilla looked at Xu Ning with his orangutan eyes, and the implication was self-evident, you must recommend a few candidates that I am satisfied with.
"The female number one has been decided to be Jiang Minjing, and the female number two will let An Zhaoxi come, her temperament and characteristics are still competent, but it takes a certain amount of time to train." Xu Ning thought for a while and said.
"What about the male character?" Park Jin-young obviously wanted to make more points.
"Male No. 1, I hope to find Lee Min Ho." Xu Ning said.
"Lee Min Ho? It's a bit hard. Park Jin-young seemed a little hesitant, Lee Min Ho became famous for playing Gu Joon-pyo in the Korean drama "Boys Over Flowers", became a first-line actor in South Korea, and won the Best Newcomer Award at the South Korean Baeksang Acting Awards.
"Can't you just choose one in our company?" Park Zhenying is obviously a little unwilling, "Our company also has a lot of outstanding male artists." ”
"It's not just about appearance." Xu Ning looked a little helpless, JYP is not without male artists with excellent appearance, but there are still many differences between actors and idols, and the gap in acting skills is not all made up by adding points to appearance, "In our company, I think Ni Kun can play the second male lead." ”
"Why do all the people in our company play the number two people? That would not be worth the investment at all. "Gorillas are still a little unacceptable.
"First of all, there is a lack of professional actors in our company, which is the biggest problem. Secondly, as one of the few film and television investments we have, there will be a lot of pressure and criticism to face, and the male and female ones will bear a lot of additional pressure and blame, in case of failure, they can become our scapegoats, if someone from our company will star, then we have to bear it alone, and it will leave a bad impression on the company's future film and television investment. Xu Ning tried to explain.
"This ...... You're cunning. Park Jin-young was convinced.
"Then let's wait for the birth of the official script, and once the scripts of the first few episodes are ready, we will go and contact Director Kang Shin-hyo." Xu Ning said, "At the same time, we can first train An Zhaoxi and Nikun and open a small stove." ”
"Training? Yes, our company has always had acting teachers, let them go to extra classes. Park Jin-young said.
"No, no, no, I don't think so." Xu Ning shook his fingers, "In my opinion, our company's acting teachers can only provide the most basic acting training, and in such a tight time, we need immediate results." ”
"And what do you want to do?"
"If you want to train, you need to be high-end and high-grade." Xu Ning smiled slightly, "I have already thought of a candidate for the teacher, that is Mr. Li Cangdong." ”
"Li Cangdong? If so, it's really high-end. Park Jin-young was also happy when he heard it, and he actually forgot that this kid had a great friendship with Li Cangdong, "But I heard that he has been busy with the filming of his movie "Poem" recently, can he have time to train Nikun and Zhaoxi?" ”
"The best training is on-site observation and drilling." Xu Ning said: "I sent them to the filming site of "Poems" for on-site observation and learning, which is much better than listening to lectures in the practice room. ”
"Good, good, good!" The gorilla already has a face full of teeth.
That night, Xu Ning contacted Li Cangdong and told him what he thought, Li Cangdong was a little hesitant, it was nothing to guide Ni Kun and An Zhaoxi, but let them observe and learn at the filming site, if they didn't get it right, it would cause the content of "Poem" to be leaked in advance, and it would not be something that he Li Cangdong could be responsible for. Xu Ning guessed Li Cangdong's worries, patted his chest and assured him that this would not happen, and if there was a leak, JYPE would be fully responsible, Li Cangdong thought twice and agreed to Xu Ning's request.
Xu Ning, who was very happy, called someone to find Ni Kun and An Zhaoxi the next day, threw the story script he wrote to the two of them, let them prepare, and at the same time introduced them to Li Cangdong, so that they could follow Li Cangdong to observe and learn from the filming site of "Poem" and accumulate experience.
Being able to get the ear of South Korea's international director Lee Cangdong, Ni Kun and An Zhaoxi were flattered, and the opportunity to observe and learn on the spot was hard to come by, and the two said that they must live up to JYP, live up to the trust of Park Zhenying and Xu Ning, and will improve their acting skills as much as possible during this precious learning time, that expression made Xu Ning can't help but want to laugh, because it is really too similar to when he reported to the organization department in his previous life.
As a well-known Korean playwright, writer Kim Eun-sook has impeccable professional standards, and the production speed of the storyboard script is much faster than Xu Ning, after the birth of the script in the first few episodes, Park Jin-young visited director Kang Shin-hyo and had a friendly and long contact with him, after various soft grinding and hard bubbles, director Kang Shin-hyo finally agreed to take his team to participate in the filming of "The Inheritors", but still put forward many harsh requirements, so that Xu Ning had to sigh that the water in the Korean film and television industry is too deep, This is also because JYPE's influence in the film and television industry is too small, if it is Sidushq, it is estimated that people will come to the audience as soon as they hear the invitation.
Now that the director and production team have done it, the rest is the selection of actors, in the long negotiation process with director Kang Shin-hyo, Park Jin-young and Xu Ning have well guarded the bottom line that the first and second male and female actors must be designated by JYPE, and when it comes to the 4 most valuable roles, the task of contacting Lee Min Ho was handed over to Xu Ning, and Xu Ning walked through the back door again, and asked Lee Cangdong to contact Lee Min Ho for him, so that Mr. Lee couldn't cry and laugh, and he became a herald like an international director?
However, complaining is complaining, Lee Cangdong still completed the task very well, and successfully included Lee Min Ho in "The Inheritors", and did not ask for too much pay. Negotiate terms with Li Cangdong? Joke, there are few actors in the whole of Korea who have this capital, if it is Song Kang-ho and Won Bin, maybe it is still possible, Lee Min Ho? That's too tender, and there's no other choice but to report honestly.
These things have been settled, and a problem that Xu Ning has avoided for a long time has come again, that is, to contact CCM and Jiang Minjing himself. It stands to reason that he shouldn't have such a headache, because in his previous life, Jiang Minjing was a female singer he liked very much, and it should be a happy thing to be able to get close to his idol, but to use his idol to play a conspiracy, Xu Ning felt very guilty, and that idol was still such a delicate beauty.
