Chapter 825: Years Later

In the entertainment industry, ConstellationEntertainment after Zixi took over began to exert its strength, not only established a film and television production department, but also invested in the movie [Uncle] and the TV series [Bread King Kim Zhuoqiu], and even jointly invested with IFCFilms and Mirovision Inc to shoot [Kao Death 2]. Among these three film and television dramas, it is naturally [Uncle] that attracts the most attention, after all, it is the first time that Zixi has played the leading role in Korean films in four years after returning to the Korean film and television stage.

Just after the lunar year, director Li Zhenfan of [Uncle] has announced that the preliminary preparations for the film have been basically completed. In order to take care of Zixi's schedule, the film will be filmed in mid-March and is expected to be completed by the end of April, so that Zixi can enter the film crew of [Bread King Kim Zhuoqiu].

The actor of "Uncle" Cha Tae-seok is starring Zixi, as well as the little actor Kim Sae-ron's Xiaomi, Lee Ji-ah plays Xiaomi's mother, Thai actor Tannayong Wangtraku plays the killer of the black organization, Kim Hee-won and Kim Sung-woo who play the brothers of the black organization, and the most popular is Lee Jong-pil who plays the role of Lu policeman. It doesn't seem that the lineup is luxurious at all, but there is Zixi alone, one top ten, which is also the main reason why the entertainment industry and the public are looking forward to this film.

After [Bread King Jin Zhuoqiu] was also unwilling, the casting audition for the show has begun to enter the countdown. The second actor and the first and second heroines received more than 2,800 audition applications and self-recommendation essays, of which nearly 1,500 were students in the film and television departments of major universities. There are also more than 1,000 people who are inexperienced, just to try their luck and want to become famous overnight. The last ones are the artists recommended or self-recommended by major brokerage companies, and directors Zixi and Lee Jung-sub also set their sights on these people.

However, in order to better publicize, students from the film and television departments of major colleges and universities will also select some potential students to be put into the crew, even if it is just a small, inconspicuous small supporting role, it is regarded as cultivating newcomers. ConstellationEntertainment's film and television department and trainee department are staring at these students who have come from a professional background but have not signed a contract with any company.

In fact, it's not just ConstellationEntertainment that has made a big move, at least MBC announced in a high-profile manner that in order to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the 6.25 (Korean War) war, it will invest 13 billion won to start filming the war-themed TV series [National Highway No. 1]. Kim Ha Na, known as the "Queen of Chungmuro", was invited to play the heroine, So Ji-sub as the male lead, and Choi Min-so, Yoon Ji-sang, Son Chang-min, etc. played important supporting roles, which can be described as star-studded. And the premiere time of this [No. 1 National Highway] is actually the premiere time of [Bread King Kim Zhuoqiu] that KBS has finalized, and it seems that the two TV stations want to compete during the summer vacation.

In terms of the music industry, the most talked about is the news of the departure and joining of the new and old members of WonderGirls. Although JYP held a press conference and posted a lot of practice videos about the new WonderGirls member Jin Yubin on the Internet, many fans of the original WonderGirls still have a wait-and-see attitude towards the new member. Even in the media, there are many people who feel that WonderGirls wants to return to the music industry with this new group and compete with the rising Girls' Generation, which is really dangerous.

Some people say that 09 is a fruitful year since the debut of Girls' Generation, which can be regarded as a thick accumulation. Not only did all three albums sell well, but S.M made a lot of money. The four concerts were even more packed, which made the directors of S.M smile. Various singles and group CF invitations have also led to a surge in personal income to Girls' Generation.

Not only that, since the second half of 09, Girls' Generation has won awards and won soft hands. Asian Best Singer Award at the 6th Asian Music Festival, 09 Young Artist Award at the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Grand Prize in the Song Category at the 17th Korea Culture and Performing Arts Awards, Music Winner at the 24th Korea Golden Disc Awards, Pop Music Award at the 2009 National Assembly Grand Prix, Best Girl Group Radio, Cultural Exchange Award at the Korea Culture and Tourism Agency, and Seoul Music Awards at the 19th Seoul Music Awards. Digital Music Awards & Grand Prix, "HeatChart Awards" Digital Music Awards, etc., S.M also has a vacant "Honor Room" for this purpose, which is dedicated to the Girls' Generation awards.

With the strong momentum of Girls' Generation, coupled with the hit album "OH! After the release, a follow-up single album to be released is also on the horizon, and WonderGirls wants to compete with them head-on, and the situation is not too optimistic. What's more, it's not just WonderGirls who want to keep an eye on this position, there are a large number of new and old groups behind them, and the media is generally not very optimistic about changing the group members at this time.

The entertainment industry and the song industry are not calm, and there are many things in the variety show industry, and the most surprising thing is Liu Zaishi, who has just quit the SBS ace variety show "Family Birth".

It is rumored that Yoo Jae-seok was not satisfied with SBS's arrangement and salary, so he quit angrily, which also indirectly caused the main regular actors such as Kim so-ro, Lee Hyo-ri and Kim Jong-kook in "The Birth of the Family" to withdraw one after another, so that SBS had to remake the program to replace him.

Another rumor is that the relationship between Liu Zaishi and the brokerage company is tense, due to poor capital turnover, Liu Zaishi's agency has been in arrears for Liu Zaishi's performance fees for a long time, the shortest is delayed by one month, and the longest is even delayed by three months.

But Yoo Jae-seok's behavior directly angered the company, gave him huge pressure, and unilaterally terminated the cooperation with SBS TV, which made Yoo Jae-seok forced to withdraw from the "birth of the family".

Although I don't know if that rumor is true, among the people, most of them still support Liu Zaishi. In the variety show industry, Liu Zaishi is a well-known good man, and has a very good relationship with many actors, singers and directors of the variety show department of the TV station, and after receiving the news, they also called to give support and condolences, and even directly sent him an invitation to perform.

No matter what it is, in short, the Korean entertainment industry will be very lively after the year.

After finalizing all the roles of [Uncle], Zihee, who has temporarily settled down, in addition to figuring out the inner world and script of the role of Cha Tae-seok, occasionally goes to director Lee Jung-sub to help screen the form and watch the video application submitted for the role of "Bread King Kim Zhuoqiu".

"Zixi! What do you think of this? Director Lee Jung-sub handed a personal credential sheet and photo to Zixie, and said: "This is a newcomer who has debuted for three years, judging from his resume, he is a top student of the Department of Performing Arts at Sungkyunkwan University, or he debuted in a musical, and he has not starred in any film and television works for the time being." ”

After Zixi looked at it carefully, he frowned and said, "Although his appearance and temperament are good, he doesn't have any experience in facing the camera, will he not be suitable?" After all, musicals are not the same as TV dramas. ”

"Hmmm! I'm just worried about that, but I think he's in good shape, why don't you let him try it? Director Lee Jung-sub suggested.

"Since Director Li is optimistic about him, let him try, anyway, there are many people who apply, and there are not many more than him."

Director Lee Jung-sub was very satisfied with Zi-hee's agreement to his proposal. Although Zixi represents the investor and producer, director Lee Jung-sub doesn't want him to interfere too much in his work, and it is rare that Zixi still respects his opinion, which makes him happy and satisfied.

"Huh! You look at this, the three members of Girls' Generation. Director Lee Jung-sub smiled and put the three resumes in front of Zixie and said: "The three girls are all very beautiful, especially which Yuna, not only has acting experience and perfect appearance, but also is a popular idol group singer, I think the role of Shin Youjing is very suitable for her." This is Lee Jung-sub's overture of goodwill with Zixi in disguise, and everyone in South Korea knows that Zixi and Girls' Generation are close relatives.

Girls' Generation has Yoona, Yoori and Suyoung participating in the audition this time, which is also proposed by Zixi, and the rest of the little guys have expressed their dissatisfaction, thinking that Zixi's partiality made him coax him for a while before he was angry.

As for which of the three of them can play the role, Zixi doesn't want to give too many opinions, even if he wants to help them, but he can't do it too explicitly, otherwise the media will talk nonsense again.

"Let's talk about this matter after watching them audition, or don't ask Jiang Yinqing's opinion on the writer."

"That's good! I'll talk about it after watching the auditions. Director Lee Jung-sub nodded happily, picked up the seal and stamped the three application forms with the word "passed".

Of course, the nearly 3,000 application forms cannot be reviewed only by writer Kang Eun-kyung and director Lee Jung-sub. At KBS's Drama Production Bureau, there are not only staff from the Production Bureau, but also staff from the Film and Television Department of ConstellationEntertainment. They will reorganize the shortlisted application forms and select talents with potential and advantages to be recruited into ConstellationEntertainment, especially students from professional campuses. Cultivating these people is far more economical than retraining trainees.

As for Zixi, he is an idler and a lazy person, don't think how active he is in running over to review, he just wants to confirm whether a few little guys have passed the audition application. As for whether you can get the role through audition, it depends on your personal ability. It's not that she doesn't want to help them through the back door, it's just that Zixi doesn't want to give some people an excuse to attack her and Girls' Generation.

After saying goodbye to director Lee Jung-sub, Zi-hee left KBS and left Yeouido to drive a new bright silver Bugatti Veyron 16.4 GrandSport sports car that had just been delivered from France and had been modified for nearly three months. This sports car was given by the German Volkswagen company to which Bugatti Veyron belonged after Zixi went to France to shoot an advertisement last year, and then the French manufacturer carried out vehicle modification in accordance with Zixi's requirements, whether it is speed, performance or comfort, it surpasses Zixi's global limited edition Lamborghini Reventon. And the cost of modifying the whole car is more expensive than buying a new car.

Zixi was also driving the world's most powerful car for the first time today, and a grand New Year's reception was being held where he went. The meeting was attended not only by well-known political and business tycoons and celebrities in South Korea, but also by many foreign investors who have invested in South Korea. As the CEO of FS Group and Union Bank Holdings in Korea, and a star in the world, this kind of reception is purely a cocktail party, and he is naturally among the invites.

The reason why Zixi attended this banquet was not because he was interested in it. The reason for this is that Jeon Wanzhi, who had just taken over the "Suwon Building", tried his best to make Zixi come no matter what. Zixi reluctantly embarrassed herself, took the false mask to the banquet, and said some nutritious nonsense to some wealthy businessmen.
