Because Summit suddenly increased the promotion of [Twilight], and even launched the filming plan of [Twilight: New Moon], which made Zixi have to continue to stay in the United States, accept interviews with many media, and also need to attend long TV interviews and online talk shows, and need to negotiate with Summit Company about the details of the shooting of the new film.

To Zixi's surprise, Catherine Hardwick, the director of [Twilight], actually resigned as the director of [Twilight: Crescent], which not only surprised Zixi, but also caught Summit Company off guard, and the media made a big fuss about it.

"Twilight" is now a smash hit, with a stellar $70.6 million in its North American opening weekend, setting a record for the highest opening weekend for a film directed by a female director in all years, and breaking the $41.1 million opening weekend box office originally set by Mimi Reid in 1998 with "Comet Hitting Earth". Why did she resign from a work that brought Catherine Hardwick so much glory? It's hard to figure out.

Anyone can see that the [Twilight] series will inevitably become a classic like the [Harry Potter] and [Transformers] series, and if you continue to direct, the honorary status is within reach. Catherine Hardwick's decision is really puzzling.

The media just like to find something to do, and now that there is such good news, how can they give up? The two heroes and heroines, Zixi and Kristen Stewart, became the objects of the interview, but unfortunately they didn't know what the female director Hulu bought, so they could only respond perfunctorily that everything was the personal decision of director Catherine Hardwick, and they did not comment.

Catherine Hardwick said in an interview that the remuneration offered by Summit Company to direct "Twilight: New Moon" was very high, and said with a smile that "my family and I have never seen so much money", but because of the limited budget for this sequel, the salaries of the actors and directors have increased too much, resulting in insufficient funds for the film, and the preparation time is too hasty. Catherine Hardwick thought that "I can't make a good film under these conditions", so she decided to give up her position as a director.

Zixi was disappointed that director Catherine Hardwick resigned as a director, after all, the two worked together happily, and the female director took good care of Zixi and taught him a lot of ways to survive in Hollywood. But everyone has their own ambitions, on the phone, director Catherine Hardwick even smiled and comforted Zixi, after being busy for so long, now she can finally take a break and spend a happy Christmas with her family, she feels very comfortable, let Zixi not think cranky, just do her duty as an actor.

When Zixi went back to South Korea, there was no final conclusion on the director of [Twilight: New Moon] on the side of the summit company, but Zixi couldn't participate in all this, and he couldn't give any opinions, and his identity as an actor was not to the extent that he could influence the decision-making of a Hollywood company.

KBS has finally confirmed the filming of the TV series [IRIS], and all the cast and crew are ready, and director Kim Kyu-tae learned that Zi-hee is about to return to South Korea, and with the help of [Twilight] to harvest a large number of good news at the box office in the world, Zi-hee's popularity skyrocketed, and he immediately began to prepare for a press conference to announce the news.

After the premiere of [Twilight], Zixi has received news from Luo Xiuzhe, and the long-standing negotiations have ended, which may be because the Hollywood film starring Zixi has grossed more than 100 million dollars in more than a week, who can match this strength in South Korea? KBS and Taewon Entertainment are not fools, Zixi's value is increasingly bullish, if they persist any longer, unless they abandon Zixi, they will have to endure the pain.

Later, KBS and Taewon Entertainment took the initiative to contact Luo Xiuzhe, who was busy working on the new album of Girls' Generation, and agreed to his request for salary and some shooting schedules. Zixi's salary is 100 million won per episode, which is definitely a height that the top Korean actors may not be able to reach, which is said to be the same salary as Bae Yongjun filming "The Four Gods of the Queen", which is second to none among Korean actors.

Zixi also has Hollywood films to shoot and promote, and the filming cycle of the TV series must take care of Zixi's schedule, and Zixi's trip to the United States cannot be hindered by rushing to the scene. In fact, this is the most difficult thing for KBS to accept, after all, no actor in South Korea has such ability, and it takes a whole film crew to accommodate one person. This will not only affect the progress of filming, but also the quality of the TV series. But now Zixi has done it, and his influence and huge popularity covering the world have made even KBS, which is a national television station, have to succumb.

As soon as the plane landed, Zihee rushed directly to KBS TV, and director Kim Kyu-tae seemed to have calculated the time of his plane, and a press conference on [IRIS] would start an hour after the plane landed. Zixi has maliciously thought that if the plane is delayed, or there is a traffic jam on the road, the actor will be gone, thinking about the stinky face of director Kim Kyu-tae, Zi-hee feels funny.

In order to prepare for this press conference of [IRIS], director Kim Kyu-tae has worked hard. first threw out the news that the investment amount of the play exceeded 20 billion won, and then the South Korean CF queen and the first beauty Kim Tae-hee will play the heroine of the play, followed by Kim So-yeon, Jung Jun-ho, Kim Seung-woo, Kim Young-chul and other powerful actors to join in important roles, and more importantly, the location includes China, Japan, Hungary and the United States and other Asia, Europe and the United States.

Is this a big investment? Although it cannot be said that there is no one who has come after, but it is definitely unprecedented, [IRIS] is the TV series with the largest investment in spy war dramas in the history of Korean television.

The production team of [IRIS] can be called the most luxurious group in the history of Korean TV dramas, not only the producer Kang Di-gyu, but also the director Kim Kyu-tae. Kim Tae-hee, South Korea's No. 1 beauty, returned to the TV screen after four years and had a gorgeous PK with the female No. 2 Kim So-yeon. In addition, a group of powerful new and old actors such as Jung Jun-ho, Kim Seung-woo, Kim Young-cheol and Choi Seung-hyun joined hands to perform a brand-new spy war drama full of fierce fights and entangled emotional dramas.

Director KBS and Director Kim Kyu-tae threw out so much information and information, but they were silent about the actor. Many media have long thought that Zixi and Kim Tae-hee met director Kang Di-gyu and director Kim Kyu-tae at the same time, and they must have discussed this TV series. At first, many people thought it was unreliable, but now it seems that directors KBS and Kim Kyu-tae want to remain mysterious, and the actor they chose must be Zixi.

But then things began to change again, [Twilight] box office was a big hit, Summit Company began to prepare for the second part, and also announced the original team for filming. In that case, what should IRIS do? This TV series is already in full swing, do you need to temporarily change the actor? It's not like Zixi will give up a Hollywood blockbuster and come back to shoot a TV series, right?

KBS and director Kim Kyu-tae had just made up their minds at this time, and they also received a reply from Zixi, so they could settle down. But none of them came out to clarify that as long as more people pay attention to [IRIS] and express concern about Zixi's movements, then the ratings of [IRIS] premiere will inevitably rise sharply.

As they expected, with the popularity of [Twilight] in Asia and South Korea, and the box office word-of-mouth harvest, Zixi's name has climbed to an unparalleled height in the Korean entertainment industry, and director KBS and Kim Kyu-tae are finally going to hold a press conference and announce the opening time of [IRIS].

It seems that KBS has finally found a suitable actor, which is the first thought of the media that received the news. Otherwise, for the TV series [IRIS], which has been preparing for more than three months, sooner or later, it was announced in the United States that Zixi would become the actor of the second [New Moon] of [Twilight] At this time, KBS will hold a press conference and announce the opening time? This must be that Zihee finally resigned from this TV series because of her appearance in Hollywood films, so directors KBS and Kim Kyu-tae had to find someone to replace them.

When I came to the press conference of KBS TV, many media were waiting for the press conference to start, and MBC and SBS, two TV stations that compete with KBS, were even more waiting to see a good show. In recent years, the cooperation between the three major TV stations has been increasing, and they have monopolized the national TV network in South Korea, but the competition for prime-time TV dramas has never stopped.

Previously, it was rumored that Zi-hee starred in a new drama on KBS TV, and MBC and SBS were uncomfortable, but they were helpless. SBS even found Luo Xiuzhe through its relationship with TCE and asked him about the authenticity of this. At that time, because of the salary and schedule, Luo Xiuzhe almost didn't hope that he would reach a film contract. I didn't expect things to change so quickly, KBS not only agreed to a number of requests, signed the contract, and immediately held a press conference, without giving the other two major TV stations time to react at all. And MBC and SBS didn't expect KBS to agree to such an "unreasonable" request, they simply didn't believe that Zixi would give up Hollywood and come back to play the leading role in a TV series.

"Hey, hey! You say who KBS will find to cooperate with Kim Tae-hee, I think this actor is blessed. A reporter wearing an SBS TV vest said to a colleague he knew.

"Who said no, Kim Tae-hee and Kim So-yeon are both big beauties, and this time they work together, they should be able to create a lot of sparks. I just don't know which male star will have such good luck to be able to play against two beautiful women at the same time. The colleague nodded.

"I don't think so, it's true that Kim Tae-hee and Kim So-yeon are both beauties, but this time it's a spy war movie, I heard that a lot of big scenes of fights and shootouts have been prepared, and it's a question whether these two beauties can do a good job. If the investment is so huge, and the ratings of the TV series filmed are not as good as the ratings of MBC TV's "Time of the Wolf and the Dog" last year, I am afraid that KBS will lose money and become a laughing stock in the industry. "SBS reporters just wanted to see KBS make jokes.

The colleague frowned, and when he saw that this friend was wearing an SBS TV uniform, he was calm, and asked with a smile: "It seems that you seem to have received a lot of news!" Everyone is making news, don't you share it? ”

The SBS reporter was mysterious, looked at the noisy voices around him, and tried to keep his voice as low as possible: "I heard a martial arts actor from a martial arts school mention that KBS needs a lot of martial arts actors this time, find their school, and let the instructor be responsible for training the fighting actions of the crew actors." I heard that active duty soldiers of the army were also invited to train the fighting skills and tactical movements of the actors, even the actresses. Think about it, which actresses can just put on makeup and act, but let them practice fighting, and learn martial arts from the military, do you think they can do it? I'm afraid that before the filming is over, someone will make a fuss. ”

"Really?"

"Of course, this is my first-hand information, and when today's press conference is over, I will announce it together with the news I get." The SBS reporter said proudly: "I told you this because you met me once. When you are praised by the president, don't forget my benefits. ”

"Of course, of course. I'll treat you to dinner then. The colleague smiled flatteringly, and kept the news revealed by his friend firmly in his heart.
