Chapter 800: New Drama Cooperation
"Zhiyan, is it really okay for you to talk to Zixi's predecessor like this just now?" A girl about the same age as Ji-yeon asked worriedly.
"Yes! Didn't Zixi's predecessors eat your plate of fried pork cutlet rice? If the seniors are willing to eat the food I invited, let alone one plate, I am willing to pay for ten dishes and hundreds of dishes, you seem to be very unwilling, and you actually want to ask Zixi's seniors to invite back. Another shorter boy complained.
In the face of her friend's questioning, Zhiyan was not angry, she also knew that these were just friends who had known each other for less than two months, and what she said just now was more about care and love, and of course she couldn't avoid a little jealousy and envy.
From audition to filming for KBS TV's youth idol TV drama "The God of Learning", which is based on the popular Japanese manga "The Legend of the Worst Student in the College Entrance Examination Admitted to Tokyo University", Ji-yeon has become familiar with several colleagues who are about her age. Yu Seung-ho, Gao Yaxing, Lee Hyun-woo, and Park Ji-yeon, all of whom are post-90s, and young artists who became famous at a young age, everyone got together and naturally talked about it very well, and through filming and communication with each other, they soon became good friends who talked about everything.
For a star in the world like Zixi, he stands at the height of Yu Chenghao, Gao Yaxing, and Li Xuanyu. When I suddenly saw real people in a restaurant, I didn't want to mention how excited and excited they were. Or it was this excitement and excitement that caused them to be more respectful and cautious in the face of Zixi, except for introducing themselves, they didn't even say a few words to Zixi, and they were not as open as Ji-yeon.
"Huh! Zixi OPPA is not as stingy as you get! Ji-yeon tilted her head arrogantly and said, "He usually gets along very well, and when he was a girl, Ernie often bullied Zixi OPPA, and I have never seen him lose his temper once." ”
Gao Yaxing said: "Really? Is Girls' Generation really that good with Zixi's predecessors? The first time I met Zixi-senpai was at the premiere of [Hanjiang Monster], and at that time, I always thought that Zixi-senpai was very handsome, but it was so cool that I didn't dare to go over to say hello to him. ”
"Hey, hey! That's just that you don't know Zixi's OPPA, even if he has a cool expression, it's still pretending. Although Ji-yeon doesn't know Zi-hee as well as she did when she was a girl, she has been together for a long time and has also learned a lot about this senior and director. In particular, Zi-hee has a lot of concern for Ji-yeon's busy group, which also makes Ji-yeon usually face Zi-hee with less Rueun-jeong, Hyo-min and So-yeon's awe of Zi-hee.
"Then you quarreled with Zixi's predecessor just now, don't you really blame you for this?" Li Xuanyu still asked a little uneasy.
"You can rest assured that since T-ara moved into the new dormitory, Zixi OPPA doesn't know how many times she has invited us to eat, and many times most of the meat in the refrigerator in OPPA's apartment has entered our stomachs, and Zixi OPPA also said that this is to supplement our nutrition." Ji-yeon said without showing off.
"You're fine, you can see Zixi's predecessors every day, he must have taught you a lot about acting." Gao Yaxing said.
"Alas! If only that were the case. Ji-yeon said a little frustrated, "Since we moved into the new dormitory, Zi-hee OPPA has also moved out. Although I occasionally go back to my apartment, most of the time I have moved to a new home, and I haven't had a chance to go anywhere! ”
"Is it reported that I live with Kim Tae-hee's predecessors in Cheongdam-dong?" Li Xuanyu asked with curiosity on her face.
"Yikes! How can a man gossip like you? Ji-yeon glanced at Lee Hyun-woo, but said in disappointment: "I don't know what to say, but I just heard Yun'er Oni say that Zi-hee OPPA has moved into the wealthy area of Cheongdam-dong 2nd Cave, not too far from Zi-hee OPPA and Girls' Generation's barbecue restaurant." As for whether he really lives with Kim Tae-hee's seniors, I don't know very well. ”
In fact, whether Zixi and Kim Tae-hee have really lived together or not has many different opinions in the outside world. Regarding this matter, Zixi and Kim Tae-hee both denied that they had lived together on their personal pages and Twitter, even if they were married, they would not live together until they were really married. Of course, these are all for the media and fans, as for whether everyone believes it or not, anyway, the fans of the two believe it.
Lunch, thanks to Ji-yeon's tonkatsu rice, was solved, and the stomach that had been empty for more than ten hours no longer made a revolution. After filling his stomach, his mood naturally improved, and the bad things seemed to be far away from Zixi. Kang Eun-kyung writer and director Lee Jung-sub didn't let Zi-hee wait too long, and the two appeared just after he finished eating.
has learned that the two of them have come to meet him this time, Zixi didn't say too much nonsense, and went straight to the point, "Director Lee Jung-sub, writer Kang Eun-kyung, I heard Director Kim Kyu-tae say that the two of you have a new script and want to invite me to star?" ”
Director Lee Jung-sub and writer Kang Eun-kyung glanced at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes, at least Zixi didn't refuse people thousands of miles away when he spoke. Director Lee Jung-sub took out a script from his leather bag, handed it to Zixie, and said, "That's right, this is the script that writer Jiang Yinqing just conceived, here is the outline of the story and the summary of the content of the first ten episodes, please take a look." ”
"It's good." Without pretending to be pretentious, Zixi took the script, said hello to director Lee Jung-sub and writer Kang Eun-kyung, and looked down carefully.
Seriously, Zixi has just taken over the family's business in South Korea, and she has just finished the filming of [IRIS], so she wants to spend more time with the women at home, of course, it is best to do nothing. But in the choice between managing business and filming, Zixi would rather choose to face the camera and interpret different lives and different stories. So this time, Director Kim Kyu-tae personally came forward as an introducer to send out an invitation, and Zixi agreed without thinking about it.
Kang Eun-kyung's screenplay is based on a true story, and the original background of the protagonist is written by the chairman of the famous Korean bakery chain "PARISBAGUETTE", which tells the story of the protagonist who grows from a poor boy with nothing to the first person in the Korean bread industry. The story not only has the inspirational story of the protagonist, but also involves the emotional entanglement of the four people. In this regard, writer Jiang Yinqing has written in [Love Hotel] and [Oh! Bisheng Bong Soon-young] has had a wonderful description, and this new work, the story is equally touching and wonderful.
Director Lee Jung-sub and writer Kang Eun-kyung have been paying attention to the changes in Zi-hee's facial expression, and when they saw that his face went from thunderous to smiling after turning a few pages, they glanced at each other and knew that the story of the road had moved Zi-hee.
As the two expected, the story is really good, and Zixi is very interested in this script after reading the outline. In the story, there are grievances and hatreds between chaebol families, including parents and brothers; There are two men who love a woman, and two women love a man; There is also an inspirational and touching story background in which the protagonist learns the way of a baker and a businessman, and is reborn as a veritable baker based on his natural sense of smell and kind heart in making bread, and begins to run a business with a human touch.
The creative outline and the story summary of the first ten episodes of Zixi took almost an hour to watch, and director Lee Jung-sub and writer Kang Eun-kyung did not show any impatience. They all know clearly that whether this TV series can start filming depends on Zixi's attitude. If Zixi could nod his head, everything would be in order.
"The story is really good." Zixi put down the script with a smile and said to Writer Jiang Yinqing: "Writer Jiang, I used to like the stories you wrote, especially the [Love Hotel] and [Glass Slipper]. I've always wanted to have the opportunity to work with you, and it seems that such an opportunity has finally arrived. ”
"Huh! If only you could like it. Writer Jiang Yinqing was very satisfied with Zixi's sincere attitude, and did not look down on himself because of his identity and status. This time, he put down his identity and personally invited an actor to shoot his own script, which is unique in South Korea, and it is also an insult to the writer, saying that Jiang Yinqing has no grievances as a writer is false. But now Zixi's attitude makes her feel a lot better, and she also agrees with Zixi a lot.
"Zi Xixi, are you willing to take over this new drama?" Director Lee Jung-sub confirmed.
"Hmm!" Zixi nodded and asked, "I just don't know when the show will start filming, and which production company will invest in filming and premiere on that TV station?" ”
"Uh" asked director Lee Jung-sub now. Before Zixi agreed, only KBS TV expressed interest in the show, but was unwilling to take the risk of wholly owning the filming. If Zixi had promised to play the leading role of the show earlier, of course, many film and television production companies would be willing to invest. But now Zixi asked, but there was none.
Writer Kang Eun-kyung also saw Director Lee Jung-sub's embarrassment, and also saw Zixie's doubts, so she had to explain: "Here's the thing, we ......." Writer Jiang Yinqing explained everything clearly, lest Zixi think that they were deceiving him.
"That's it!"
Zixi lowered her head and frowned, which made director Lee Jung-sub nervous. straightened up and said: "As long as Zixi Xi can take over the filming of the show, I guarantee that the salary and corresponding conditions will be able to meet your requirements"
"Huh! Director Lee Jung-sub laughed. Zixi said with a smile: "There are some things that investors may not be able to give director Lee Jung-sub full control over the matter, such as the capital limit that exceeds the investor's psychological bottom line." ”
Director Lee Jung-sub sat down dejectedly, he knew that what Dao Zixi said was right. It is profitable to invest in Zixi, but if Zixi's conditions exceed the bottom line of the investor, this TV series may also be stillborn. All his previous thoughts and plans were just wishful thinking on his own.
Writer Kang Eun-kyung was not as disappointed as director Lee Jung-sub, with a graceful and confident smile on his face, and said to Zixi: "Since Zi-hee xi is interested in this script, is there any good way to solve it?" ”
Zixi patted the script that was still on the table, and said confidently: "I am really interested in this TV series, not only interested in filming, but also interested in investing." I wonder if I have this opportunity to work more deeply with the two of you? ”
"You..., are you serious?" Director Lee Jung-sub already doubted if he had heard it wrong, and asked straight without even saying an honorific. But he reacted immediately, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry! Zixi, what you just said is true? Are you willing to play the leading role, and are you willing to invest in the filming of the show? ”
Zixi nodded, shook his head again, and under the puzzled gaze of director Lee Jung-sub and writer Kang Eun-kyung, he stretched out his hand and said, "I am willing to play the leading role of the show, but the investor is ConstellationEntertainment." But I also hope that we can have a good time working together in the future. ”
Director Lee Jung-sub and writer Kang Eun-kyung were stunned for a moment, but they both showed surprise, stretched out their hands to shake Zixie, and said in unison: "Happy cooperation!" ”
As a person in the circle, it is known that Lu Dao Zixi is one of the directors of ConstellationEntertainment, and his words are almost that the cooperation agreement has been confirmed. The agency was reorganized from the former Kim Hee-sun Office and merged with PledisEntertainment and CoreCentensMedia. After the establishment of the new company, it has successively woven beautiful actresses such as Ha Ji Won, Han Ga-in, Kim Ha-na, Song Hye Kyo, Son Ye-jin, Shin Se-kyung, Park Min Young, and debuted Son Dan-fei, AfterSchool, Davichi, SeeYa, T-ara and other SOLO singers and girl idol groups, and it is a veritable "beauty office". According to the estimates of financial analysts, CE's excellent assets and good operating conditions are no worse than the three major brokerage companies of S.M, JYP and TCE.
