Luo Xiuzhe's speed was very fast, just a day apart, he made an appointment with director Li Zhenfan to meet. It's just that what makes Zixi strange is that director Li Zhenfan didn't ask him to meet in some café or tavern, let alone go to the office to meet, but asked Zixi to Longshan. District. To Zixi's surprise, director Lee Jeong-fan met at a meeting place that was just one alley away from Lee Ji-ah's home in Hannam-dong.

In Yongsan. District, Zixi is familiar with the area around Itaewon, Hannam-dong is the last time I sent Lee Ji-ah back and walked through it, plus it was the middle of the night, so I was not familiar with the surrounding situation at all. Now that she has come to the neighborhood again and seen the surrounding environment, Zixi understands why the Seoul Metropolitan Government wants to divide this area into a redevelopment area.

Old streets, crumbling facades, cluttered overhead power lines, dilapidated old-fashioned shops, and sewage sanitation. Just across the street, Hannam-dong and Itaewon are a world apart. What's more serious is that Zixi drove to the area and found that there were many young people in flowing clothes wandering around.

Director Lee Jeong-fan met Zi-hee at a coffee shop that has a history of an unknown number of years, and the store's signboard is still written in both Chinese and English, which is rare in other parts of Seoul.

When I walked into the café, I found that the interior of the shop was very tidy, and the walls on both sides were covered with old black and white photos. Zixi took a closer look and found that there were all photos of the US military, from the army to the navy, from group photos to individual photos, and without exception they were all American soldiers wearing military uniforms. Some of them were armed, some were bandaged, some were sitting in cars, some were sitting in tanks, in short, all branches of the U.S. military in World War II could basically find traces from these photos. It seems that the owner of the coffee shop is either nostalgic or full of affection for these American soldiers.

Director Li Zhenfan is a middle-aged man about 40 years old, with a wide face and single eyelids, and long hair that was outdated in the seventies and eighties. Dressed in a black down jacket, he sat quietly in front of a piece of floor-to-ceiling glass in the café with a clear view of the street outside.

Zixi is also the first time to see director Li Zhenfan in real person, fortunately, Zixi has a good memory and can remember the appearance of the photo, after confirming it, he walked in front of him, bent down slightly and asked, "Director Li Zhenfan?" ”

Out of politeness and respect for Zixi, director Li Zhenfan arrived twenty minutes earlier than the scheduled time. Although he was a little surprised that Zixi expressed his willingness to take on his movie, director Li Zhenfan was more concerned about whether Zixi was suitable for the role depicted in his script. In his opinion, he is not too willing to find overly famous actors to shoot his own scripts. Looking for Yuan Bin to join, I just feel that Yuan Bin is close to the role I imagined, not because of Yuan Bin's current popularity.

Director Li Zhenfan, who was pondering, heard someone shouting to him, and when he looked up, he saw a young man wearing a black stand-up collar jacket, a black baseball cap, and black-framed glasses on his face standing in front of him. If it weren't for Zixi's fame in the Korean entertainment industry, if it weren't for the fact that Zhilu Dao Zixi wanted to take over his own film, director Li Zhenfan deliberately watched some of Zixi's film and television works, and he really couldn't help but suddenly can't help but see the star Zixi in the world.

"Oh! It's Zixi, please take a seat. Recognizing the person, Director Li Zhenfan hurriedly stood up and shook Zixi's hand, and made a gesture of please for Zixi to sit down.

Zixi smiled and nodded, took off his hat and sat down, looked at his watch, and said, "I'm not late, am I?" ”

"Huh! No, it's just that I arrived early. Director Li Zhenfan shook his hand.

After the two of them were polite, director Li Zhenfan also specially ordered the most famous black coffee in the coffee shop for Zixi. It is said that the coffee beans of this coffee are purchased by the president of the coffee shop in South America, and then brewed by hand grinding and special technology, and the aroma is rich, and the instant coffee outside cannot be compared with it.

After taking a sip of coffee, Li Zhenfan slowly looked at Zixi. is really young, although the appearance gives people a mature and stable appearance, but it lacks a sense of vicissitudes that have been weathered, which is obviously different from the characters in his script.

However, director Li Zhenfan is not such a superficial person, and he doesn't look at people only by appearance. Why do you say that a star is not necessarily a good actor, but a good actor must be a star? Just because a good actor plays what he looks like, any role can be freely swayed in his hands. is not a star who only relies on appearance, acting is acting himself.

"Zixi should have read my script, right?" Director Li Zhenfan got straight to the point, and after seeing Zixi nodding, he continued: "What kind of person do you think Cha Tae-seok is in the script?" ”

Zixi just likes to talk to this kind of cheerful person, one is one, two is two, there is no need to go around in circles, "In my opinion, Cha Tae-seok is the kind of person who is cold-faced and hot-hearted." After the death of his wife, his inner world was closed by himself and me, and he didn't care about anyone, only living in the space of self-creation. But Xiaomi, a girl who can touch his deep feelings, allows him to show his true feelings. I saw in the script that it is a very contradictory character to treat the enemy ruthlessly, even killing people without blinking, but crying bitterly because of the sight of Xiaomi's gouged out eyes. Or maybe it's because of this contradiction that I want to take on this role. ”

Zixi's words made Director Li Zhenfan very satisfied, and the smile on his face immediately increased, and he clapped his hands lightly, and said: "I really deserve to be a Hollywood superstar, it only took one day to figure out the character characteristics of the character." ”

"Director Li has won the award."

Director Li Zhenfan shook his head and said: "This is not an award, you do see the true heart of Cha Tae-seok I described." When I received a call from Luo Xiuzhexi, saying that you were interested in starring in this movie, I was very skeptical at the time. I've seen IRIS, and I'm amazed by what you're doing. But I'm worried that Kim Hyun-joon and Cha Tae-seok have similarities in their character traits, and there are big differences in personality, and you will confuse the two. But just now I listened to your words, and the doubts in my heart were dispelled. ”

After Director Lee Zhenfan took a sip of coffee, his expression relaxed a lot, and asked, "Zixi, I heard that you and Director Lee Jung-sub are about to work together to start filming a TV series, is it really true?" So what about your schedule? ”

"It's happening, and the TV series will start auditioning for roles after the year, and it will start filming as soon as the end of April or early May."

After Zixi announced that she was going to shoot a new drama in Jeonju, after many speculations surfaced, there was even more noise on the Internet. KBS and director Lee Jung-sub have come out to confirm: Zi-hee will take over the filming of the inspirational TV series [Bread King Kim Zhuoqiu] adapted from real people, which is the second time that Zi-hee has cooperated with KBS TV after [IRIS], and this time Zi-hee is still involved as an investment producer. According to the agreement, the investor, ConstellationEntertainment, will enjoy the overseas distribution rights of the TV series. Director Li Zhenfan knew that the news was not strange at all, and Zixi had no intention of hiding it.

Director Li Zhenfan thought about it for a while and said: "The shooting cycle of [Uncle] This movie is about 40 to 50 days, and if the funds and actors are in place, I am also ready to start shooting in April." And the location I chose to shoot is here in Yongsan. With that, he raised his hand and pointed to the street outside the glass.

"There is no problem with timing, because even if the movie and TV series are filmed at the same time, as long as the time is adjusted, it should be easy to solve." Zixi followed Director Lee Jeong-fan's finger and looked out, and understood why he asked him to come here to meet, and said: "This place is indeed very suitable for the description in the script, it is dirty and messy, and it is a good place for Cha Tae-seok to hide himself." ”

Now that Zixi has been recognized, director Li Zhenfan has more questions to consider, and asked again: "So Zixi's salary?" ”

"There's something I want to ask Director Li." Zixi paused, withdrew his gaze from the window, and said, "Listen to Brother Xiuzhe that Director Li has received investment from CJ Entertainment in this movie?" ”

Director Li Zhenfan smiled wryly and said, "CJ saw that I submitted a script plan and a list of actors who had drawn up a good plan, and they still chose Yuan Bin as the leading actor at that time, so they readily agreed to invest." However, there was no response from Won Bin, and CJ said that he needed to reconsider his investment. But I believe that as long as they know that Dao Zixi agrees to star in the film, they will definitely be much happier. Speaking of the most embarrassing, director Li Zhenfan is full of confidence.

"Oh?" Zixi's eyes lit up, no wonder Luo Xiuzhe said that this was a good opportunity, and it was an opportunity after ConstellationEntertainment established a film and television production department.

"Director Li, if I, on behalf of ConstellationEntertainment, am willing to fully invest in you to shoot the movie [Uncle], then would you like to cooperate with ConstellationEntertainment in more depth?"

"Are you willing to invest?" Director Li Zhenfan couldn't be calmer anymore, and jumped up, staring at Zixi with dead eyes, as if trying to find traces of jokes from his face.

"Of course!" Zixi chuckled: "Director Li should know that ConstellationEntertainment has set up its own film and television production department, and the TV series I just took over was invested by it, which can be regarded as a pioneering work." But now that I meet Director Li's movie, I can't easily miss it. Because I believe that this film has brought ConstellationEntertainment and me not only honor and wealth, but also film and television development experience. ”

Director Li Zhenfan's heart was churning, he first got the investment of ConstellationEntertainment, and then Zixi himself proposed it, so Zixi's salary can basically be considered, giving himself more room to operate. Director Lee Jeong-beom believes in the strength of ConstellationEntertainment, which is backed by FS Group, an international chaebol with a huge network of cinemas in all countries of the world, and is far stronger than CJ, and the benefits are obvious.

There is another thing that makes director Li Zhenfan excited, that is, Zixi is an actor, a film actor from a professional class. Not only is he familiar with movies, but he also loves movies. And CJ just treats movies as a business, a business that can make profits. This made director Li Zhenfan more inclined to Zixi in his heart.

"Happy working together!" After thinking about it again, director Li Zhenfan stretched out his hand to Zixi.

Zixi reached over and shook Director Li Zhenfan's hand, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation!" ”
