Chapter 45: Worry
Xu Ning hurriedly grabbed his mobile phone, adjusted his tone, and said, "Hello, Ms. Kim Eun-sook." ”
Kim Eun-sook's voice on the phone was very kind: "Hello, Mr. Xu Ning, I have read the outline you sent me in the morning." ”
As soon as he heard this, Xu Ning suddenly raised his heart to his throat: "What do you think, Ms. Kim Eun-sook?" ”
"It's a very general outline." As soon as Kim Eun-sook's words came out, Xu Ning's heart suddenly cooled half, but fortunately, Kim Eun-sook added later: "But I think there is room to play." ”
Xu Ning stroked his chest with his hand, and the feeling of just a few seconds was like riding a roller coaster, it was really ups and downs, "Then Ms. Kim Eun-sook, what do you mean?" ”
"I decided to help you improve this script, but it's not enough to just have such an outline, Mr. Xu Ning, please answer me honestly, is this outline really what you came up with?" Kim Eun-sook asked directly, she always felt that the story told by this short outline felt very familiar to her, but she just couldn't remember where she had read it.
"Well, of course yes, Ms. Kim Eun-sook has any questions?" Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, could it be that she would be found plagiarizing her future works?
"No, I always feel that the story told here is very familiar, and there are many places where there are shadows of my previous works, but they are not the same, so I want to confirm it." After Kim Eun-sook finished speaking, she also felt strange.
"It's really a story I conceived." Xu Ning said cheekily, "Ms. Kim Eun-sook, can we sign a contract now?" ”
"Nope." The answer is no.
A large string of question marks appeared on Xu Ning's head, "Didn't you decide to help us improve this script?" ”
"I agreed, but that's not the case, Mr. Xu Ning, I hope you can use your own imagination and expression skills to make a more detailed story script, I will finally refine it, and finally negotiate with the director you choose to change it into a storyboard script that can be used for filming." Kim Eun-sook's answer seemed strange.
"Can I see why?" Xu Ning's head was a mess.
"Hehe, I'm just curious about Mr. Xu Ning, how far you can play this story, please rest assured, I have my profession to guard, after the script is completed, I will rank your name first among screenwriters." Kim Eun-sook replied.
"Ms. Kim Eun-sook, I don't care about the identity of this screenwriter, nor do I mind the ultimate ownership of this story, I'm just worried about whether my ability can take on such a heavy responsibility, this is an investment in our company, and I am responsible for the company." Xu Ning said very righteously.
"Don't worry, we can set a time, and when that time comes, you can give me the script you have written, and I will do the follow-up, and no matter what progress you have completed in front of you, I will do my best to make it the best I can, this is my job as a playwright." Kim Eun-sook replied very seriously.
"Okay, I'll do my best, and in 1 week, I'll do my best to give you a script." Xu Ning hung up the phone and sat down with a solemn face.
Three minutes later, he walked out of the office and knocked on the door of the president's office opposite, but unfortunately there was no response, and Park Jin-young was not there.
I dialed the phone number of Park Jinying's personal assistant, and the reply to him was that Park Jinyoung was instructing trainees in a practice room below, and this gorilla had this hobby, so most of the trainees called him not president but teacher.
Rushed to the practice room, and was about to speak, Xu Ning stopped again, there were several acquaintances in the room, in addition to the gorilla Park Zhenying, there were also Kim Tae-woo, Min Xian-yi, Wang Feifei and Meng Jia who were doing odd jobs in Li Qiwu's small bar, and 3 girls they didn't know.
Seeing Xu Ning coming in, Park Zhenying said to Meng Jia and other trainees: "I've met Director Xu Ning. ”
Hearing the big boss's order, several girls hurriedly bowed 90 degrees and said, "Hello Director Xu Ning, we are missa."
Hearing this greeting, Xu Ning was shocked and said, "President Park is already planning to let them debut?" Wouldn't it be too hasty? ”
"Of course not." Park Zhenying pointed to the five girls and said: "Meng Jia and Wang Feifei, you know, this child is Yu Huilin who came back from Hong Kong as you said, and she is Li Minyi, who trained with Rain at the beginning." As he spoke, he pushed over a tall girl, "This kid is Pei Xiuzhi who you asked around at the beginning." Then he said: "Debut is a very prudent thing, at present, I plan to let them train together first, cultivate their teamwork ability, so that the training will be about half a year, and then find an opportunity for them to debut." ”
"Hmm." Xu Ning nodded in agreement, "What President Park said is extremely true. ”
"Okay, you guys continue training, Taewoo, you can help guide me." Park Zhenying instructed, "I'll go and discuss something with Director Xu Ning, don't be lazy, I will let Director Xu Ning evaluate you before your debut, if he says no, don't think about making your debut." ”
The five girls were obviously frightened, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, teacher, we will definitely redouble our efforts." ”
Xu Ning said with a smile: "You have to work hard in training, but you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don't get tired." He turned to Wang Feifei and Meng Jia and said, "You can go to the bar if you are free, forget it if you are not free, I will tell you that you will still be paid." ”
Min Xianyi, who was on the side, frowned when he heard this, obviously disapproving of Xu Ning's approach, the shrewd Meng Jia caught this detail and hurriedly said: "We won't be lazy Director Xu Ning, we will definitely not delay the work at the bar." ”
Xu Ning also noticed the scene just now, didn't say much, smiled slightly, and said to Park Zhenying: "Then President Park, let's take a step to talk." Saying that, the two walked towards the door, Min Xianyi took a step forward, and felt that it was inappropriate to retreat, Park Zhenying saw it and said, "Xianyi, you can come too." Min Xianyi was stunned for a moment and followed.
The three of them came to the president's office without saying a word, Xu Ning repeated the content of the phone call with Kim Eun-sook just now, Park Jin-young listened while tapping the table with his fingers rhythmically, and said after a long silence: "There are many famous playwrights in Korea, why do you have to choose Kim Eun-sook?" This time, the board of directors promised to allocate enough funds, we can completely find a gold medal writer like the Hong sisters to buy a ready-made script, now that the time is so short, you ......" stopped halfway through the sentence, looking a little worried.
Xu Ning also patted his thigh with a little annoyance, and said: "Now we are riding a tiger and it is difficult, since this is already the case, I will ask for the surname and work hard." ”
Park Jin-young stared at him for ten minutes and said, "Then you can work hard, please." ”
Xu Ning nodded solemnly, turned around and left the office.
Min Xianyi on the side was restless, she regretted why she wanted to follow, such a thing was not something she should know at all, and now she also understands why he would shirk like that when he asked Xu Ning to arrange a role for An Zhaoxi, when she looked up, she saw Park Zhenying waving at her, knowing that this was a signal that she could go out, so she hurriedly got up and left the office.
Xu Ning, who returned to his office, began to carefully recall the image of every character in the drama "The Inheritors" in his previous life, every scene and detail that he had an impression, and then compared the outline he made up in the morning, and began to doodle to help him sort out his thoughts, and unconsciously, the waste paper on the desktop began to increase.
Min Xianyi, who walked back to the wondergirls practice room, seemed to be preoccupied, and even the team dance moves that he had practiced for an unknown number of times were frequently wrong, so that the sisters who trained together didn't know what to do, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Time flies, and soon it's night, and Park Yuen, the god of food of wondergirls, can't help but protest in her stomach, and says: "Let's go eat, we've been practicing all day, and I haven't eaten anything at noon." ”
Min Xianyi, who came back to his senses, looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was 6:30 in the evening, and at noon, because he had no appetite, several sisters hastily ate something in the cafeteria, and now his stomach was hungry, and he also said: "Yes, clean up, let's eat." ”
A few girls who got the captain's approval began to pack up their things and prepare to leave, Min Xianyi, who walked to the door, swept his eyes casually and saw a men's suit jacket still hanging on the hanger in the practice room, "Oops, I forgot to give this back to him today." Just as she wanted to step forward, Xuanmei, who was already hungry, walked to the door and pushed her: "Let's go, Oni, I'm dying of hunger." Without saying a word, he pushed her out of the practice room.
The five girls walked out of JYP's building and began to discuss the contents of the dinner, and Ahn Zhaoxi, who turned his head and looked around, said, "Director Xu Ning's room is still lit, and I don't know if he has figured out what role he has assigned to me." ”
When a few girls heard this, they also turned their heads to look upstairs, and sure enough, the lights in Xu Ning's office were bright, and Jin Yubin said: "Don't worry, Zhaoxi, I see that Director Xu Ning has a steady face, and I should help you arrange it." ”
"Yes, steamed buns, isn't there Xianyi Oni here, what are you afraid of, let's think about what to eat tonight." The mischievous Xuanmei made another joke about the captain, and then prepared to sneak away behind the other sisters at any time.
To her surprise, Min Xianyi looked at the brightly lit office and frowned, not noticing the ridicule in her words, and said to herself: "Everyone is tired today, let's eat casually at a small shop nearby, don't go back to cooking." ”
"Oh." The other girls didn't have any opinions, they didn't like to cook anyway, especially if they had to go back to work in the kitchen after a busy day, but Park Yu-eun, who was delicate in the team, seemed to notice something, and her brows furrowed.
