Lee Jung-sub waved his hand and said, "I can't afford this compliment!" Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, do you have anything else to ask me, if not, we will officially start to discuss the conditions you mentioned! ”

Jang Sung-won was originally curious about the reason why Lee Jung-sub abandoned him and invited Zhu Zhixun first, but even if he didn't ask at this time, he knew the reason, so there was no need to ask, so he said: "Director Lee Jung-sub, I don't have anything to ask, if you have something to say, please say!" ”

Lee Jung-sub said: "You put forward a total of five main conditions. First, you are responsible for the action design and filming of the show; the second is to recommend Cheng Youli as the heroine; the third is to invest in this TV series; the fourth is the salary, you are 30 million won per episode, and Miss Cheng Youli is 20 million won per episode; The fifth is the holiday, one to two days a week. Isn't it? ”

"Hmm!"

Lee Jung-sub continued: "Let's talk about the second and third conditions first, Miss Sung Youli has signed a contract with us, and the salary we promised is exactly 20 million per episode, and you have a salary of 30 million per episode, we can also agree, after all, the current market price is like this, and your salary is not very high!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan politely said thank you.

Lee Jung-sub continued: "Third, you once said that this article is dispensable, since it is dispensable, let's remove it." The funds of our crew are still sufficient, and there will be no ambiguity in the filming investment of action scenes! ”

Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "Since this is the case, then remove it!" ”

The second, third, and fourth conditions are not what Zhang Chengyuan really values, what he really values is the two conditions at the beginning and the end, if what Lee Jung-sub said is too far from his psychological expectations. He will definitely not appear in this TV series.

Lee Jung-sub was very satisfied with Jang Sung-won's attitude. Nodding. And he said, "Now, let's talk about the fifth one!" We can agree to half of your conditions! ”

Zhang Chengyuan asked puzzledly: "What do you mean by half of the promise?"

Lee Jung-sub explained: "After the filming of this TV series starts, before the broadcast, we can allow you to take a day or two off a week, but after the TV series airs, I hope you don't take a leave of absence casually, unless it is absolutely necessary!" "After the TV series was broadcast. is the most tense stage of the filming of the TV series, and Lee Jung-sub is not sure if he will be able to find time to give Jang Sung-won, who is the leading actor, a holiday.

Zhang Chengyuan thought for a while and said: "It's better like this: after the broadcast of "Hong Jitong", if there is enough time for filming, I will still take one or two days off a week, and if the filming is too intense, then I will stay in the film crew all the time." Also, you have to try to focus my scenes together, and it's best that I shoot from morning to night every time I shoot, so that I can have more time. Or take time off to go back to Seoul to do other things, or instruct the actors to practice action scenes. ”

Lee Jung-sub said in surprise: "Shoot from morning to night." Can you survive physically and mentally for a few days in a row? You didn't always film like this before, right? He had heard that Zhang Chengyuan had filmed like this, but he always thought it was just an exaggeration, and he didn't believe it very much, thinking that it was only once or twice at most, how could an actor insist on filming almost around the clock for a long time, even if he could persist in physical strength, he was afraid that the filming state would not be maintained.

Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "For a martial arts practitioner like me, it's not a big deal, I've been filming like this almost every day since the end of July, I'm used to it, you don't need to worry about me getting tired or sick or performing poorly and affecting the filming progress!" ”

Lee Jung-sub thought for a while and said, "Since you are so insistent, then I will agree to the conditions you said." I thought to myself: "In the future, if you find that he can't hold on, let him recuperate for a few days!" ”

After a pause, Lee Jung-sub took two sips of coffee and continued: "Now there is the last condition left. Well, I really don't understand why you're so interested in action design and filming, and make it a top priority, can you tell me about it? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said casually: "If I say that because I am a martial arts practitioner, I am particularly interested in action scenes, do you believe it?" ”

Lee Jung-sub shook his head and said, "Don't believe it! If that's the case, you wouldn't have been filming love idol dramas before, which shows that you don't really care much about action scenes! ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "You think so, it's not entirely right, maybe I was really not interested in action scenes before, but now it's not like that." I wasn't interested in it before, because the martial arts scenes in Korean film and television dramas were too boring, and in my opinion, they were too fake! ”

Lee Jung-sub disagreed: "The action scene is fake, it can't be real!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "But at least the performance must be the same as the real thing, the more realistic the better!" In the past year, I have participated in two kung fu movies abroad, and after seeing the shooting of action scenes in Hollywood and China, I feel more and more that the shooting of action scenes in Korea is too amateurish, although the actors may work hard, but the level of martial arts instructors is really limited, and the lack of shooting funds makes it impossible to shoot really wonderful action scenes! For my personal considerations, I really don't want to see that the martial arts master Hong Jitong I play is playing the kung fu of a three-legged cat, which is likely to seriously affect my current reputation. ”

Now almost all Koreans know that Jang Sung-won is a kung fu master, if he shows unsatisfactory skills in the TV series, then it is difficult to guarantee that it will not affect his reputation, after all, most viewers will not feel that the characters in the TV series have nothing to do with reality, they will only think that Jang Sung-won with the help of various equipment, even the martial arts in the play is not good, let alone in reality.

Lee Jung-sub said: "If that's the case, you can design your own martial arts moves, and I will let the martial arts instructor cooperate with you!" Lee Jung-sub knew that there was some truth in Zhang Chengyuan's words, so he took a step back.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Just how useful it is for me to play well, it will help to improve the overall ratings of this TV series." What I hope is to completely elevate the overall level of the show's action scenes to stimulate the audience's eyeballs and boost the ratings. ”

Lee Jung-sub said: "The overall level of action scenes has improved, and there is indeed a great possibility to increase the ratings, to be honest." I'd love to do that too. But I also have my own concerns. ”

"What concerns?"

Lee Jung-sub said straight to the point: "I don't know how far you have reached in action design and shooting? Therefore, I don't worry about letting you be in charge of the design and shooting of the action scenes. As I understand it. You've only had experience shooting in two Hollywood films. Although you yourself are superb in martial arts. The martial arts actors and staff I came into contact with are all world-class, and I must have learned some advanced things, but after all, time is limited, I am afraid that I can't learn too much, and the filming environment and the audience's viewing habits in South Korea are a little different from those in foreign countries, and some things cannot be copied......"

Zhang Chengyuan directly interrupted him and said: "You don't have to say much, I understand your concerns, if I stand in your position." There must be this kind of worry, so let's take it all to the actual situation, how about I try it with the martial arts instructor you like? ”

"How do you compete?"

"In the preparation stage of this TV series, we first tried to shoot an action scene, and your martial arts instructor and I each designed a set of fighting moves, and then filmed, who shot well, it proves who is more capable in this regard?"

Lee Jung-sub said: "What is the result of winning or losing? ”

Jang Sung-won said, "If I win, then I will be in charge of action design and filming from that day on. If I lose. I am only responsible for playing my own role well, and I will never dictate the martial arts moves. Even if I'm not satisfied, I'll shoot carefully. ”

Lee Jeong-sub said: "It's not necessary, if you are not satisfied, you can give your opinion." "Wouldn't it be a waste to let a kung fu master like Zhang Chengyuan, who has been exposed to Hollywood and Chinese kung fu movies, not use it? Lee Jung-sub's real concern is not Jang Sung-won's own martial arts design level, but that he has no relevant shooting experience in scene scheduling. Therefore, even if Zhang Chengyuan wins the competition in the future, he will leave the original scheduled martial arts instructor to assist Zhang Chengyuan.

At that moment, the two clapped their hands and made this agreement, but no matter what the result of the agreement is, the two will definitely cooperate in filming, since they are destined to cooperate, then they can also be said to be their own people, so the attitude of the two of them is warmer than just now.

Zhang Chengyuan directly called Lee Jung-sub "director", and Lee Jung-sub also began to call Zhang Cheng-sub's name directly, although he still felt that Zhang Cheng-won exuded a cold and arrogant atmosphere from his bones, but he was not very disgusted, thinking that he was still more reasonable, cultured and polite.

After sitting and chatting for a while, Zhang Chengyuan was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Director, among my five conditions, which one do you feel the most headache?" ”

Lee Jung-sub asked rhetorically, "Why do you want to ask that?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled slightly: "I want to know a little more about this aspect, so that I can have a reference when negotiating with other crews in the future." ”

Lee Jung-sub said: "For me, it's the first and fifth articles, because it affects my authority. For the production company, their biggest headache is the third one, they feel that this drama is quite likely to make a lot of money, so they don't want you to invest in a piece of the pie. In my case, the more people invest, the happier I am, because then I have more money to shoot. ”

Zhang Chengyuan bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your advice." It's not too early, I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave! ”

Lee Jung-sub smiled: "Are you in a hurry to tell your girlfriend Miss Cheng Youli about this good news?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan also smiled and said: "That's true, please do a lot of Haihan!" ”

Lee Jung-sub said: "It's like this when I'm young, I can understand it. By the way, our crew didn't tell her about your recommendation of Miss Youli to star in this drama! ”

"Why?"

Lee Jung-sub said: "Because I really don't want her to cooperate because of you, but because of her own conditions and qualities!" When I felt that she was a good fit for the role, I was worried that she would decline the offer when she knew that you had recommended her, and in that case, I would lose a chance to work with a great actor. ”

Li Zhengxie has this concern, it is very normal, some women just have strong self-esteem, they don't like their boyfriends to interfere in her career, and even complain about her boyfriend because of this, but Cheng Youli is not this kind of woman, so Li Zhengxie's concerns are actually superfluous, but he is good after all, so Zhang Chengyuan is still grateful to him, and he solemnly thanked him before leaving.
