"Won-hee, this is Lee Byung-soon, director of KBS TV." Li Mingxian introduced with a smile.

Zhao Yuanxi saluted ninety degrees of unusually respectfully, "Hello Li Tai, I'm Zhao Yuanxi." ”

"Director Li, this is my nephew Zhao Yuanxi, the president of S.MCC Entertainment, he is a good golf player, especially the tee-off is professional-level, and the two of us together are probably not his opponents."

"Oh." Li Bingchun looked at Zhao Yuanxi with interest.

Li Mingxian didn't introduce Liu Rencun, the head of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, so he only said "my nephew", and he really introduced Li Bingchun in detail because of the difference between relatives and aliens, and he and Liu Rencun were classmates, and the friendship with this Li Bingchun was far inferior to that of Liu Rencun.

Li Mingxian praised Zhao Yuanxi's golf skills, in fact, he knew his own own affairs, and the number of times he touched the club in China was really only a handful, and his skills were very good.

Golf is known as the sport of the elderly, but it does not mean that the old man plays well, Li Bingchun's level is also ordinary, he can only be summarized as a hobbyist rather than a strength, Zhao Yuanxi's super-level performance has lived up to Li Mingxian's praise.

The three of them are all drunkards, and after playing for a while, the topic led to the entertainment industry and S.M Company, and then turned to KBS's newly launched TV series "Boys Over Flowers" and Zhao Yuanxi.

Li Byung-soon, who is the director of the station, has never asked questions about such trivial matters as shooting TV dramas, and there is a special department in charge, and the production of TV dramas is usually contracted by a qualified production company. Since Lee Myung-hun mentioned it, Lee Byung-chun of course agreed. This little thing is really not worth mentioning to him.

The three of them had lunch at Anyang Country Club and enjoyed a rare afternoon leisure time, and one prosecutor general and one KBS TV station director were busy with work on weekdays, and it was truly rare to take time for a vacation.

In the evening, the three of them returned happily, and when they parted, Zhao Yuanxi sent a special "local specialty" - a thin envelope.

Li Bingchun didn't care, originally thought it was a gift of an invitation gift roll, but when he opened the envelope, he found that there was only a small card, and there was a string of English and numbers written on the card.

Zhao Yuanxi and Li Mingxian were in the same car. His nanny car followed unhurriedly.

"You bribed me in front of the attorney general. The gall is too fat. Li Mingxian pretended to be serious and said.

Zhao Yuanxi disagreed, "Uncle Xian, I said it was a small gift, which is a bribe." ”

If Lee Myung-heon had believed Cho Won-hee, he wouldn't have had to be the prosecutor general of the Republic of Korea. He asked directly, "How much?" ”

"Not much. Two million dollars only. ”

Li Mingxian sneered: "You are generous. ”

"It's just numbers. I actually have two accounts in a Swiss bank. ”

"Oh, who else are you going to give it to?" Lee Myung-hun suddenly became interested.

Zhao Yuanxi said word by word: "Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Liu Rencun." ”

Li Mingxian shook his head helplessly, "You kid." It's pretty skilled. ”

The production company that took over the filming of KBS TV's drama "Boys Over Flowers" is Group8, which has a good reputation in the industry, and has previously filmed a series of dramas such as the sensational "Dream Couple" and "Palace", and the company's representative Song Byung-jun has also produced influential dramas such as "I'm Sorry I Love You". The production company is ambitious and hopes to make this Korean version of "Boys Over Flowers" a masterpiece that best matches the spirit of the original.

When it was first reported that the remake of this classic "Boys Over Flowers" was remade, a huge online selection of the protagonist broke out on the Internet, and popular stars such as Cho In-sung, Zhu Ji-hoon, and Yoon Eun-hye became the hottest candidates. And at the moment when the online casting is in full swing, the production company has set the strategy of the show F4 starring newcomers.

The production company is very careful in the selection of actors. They conducted a four-month audition for Korean idol artists, and the final lineup of Shancai's actor Gu Hye-sun and Hwasawa's actor Kim Hyun-joong are both popular candidates for Shancai and Hwa-sawa in the online casting, Goo Hye-sun, who has both appearance and acting skills, was called by the director as the actress who most resembles the heroine of the original comic, and Kim Hyun-joong was rated by netizens as the most satisfactory character candidate in the Korean version.

These two were also the first to be finalized by the production company. The remaining three actors in F4 have not yet been finalized, and at this time, the producer received a communication from KBS TV to invite Cho Won-hee to play the male lead Gu Junbiao.

Song Byung-jun, the representative of the production company, was very popular, and he reacted to KBS TV station to no avail, so he had to accept the arrangement of the TV station to accept the airborne Zhao Yuanxi as the leading actor. No matter which country's film and television industry, the investor always has a strong right to speak, especially if the drama is remade by the national TV station KBS, and if you don't accept the conditions of the TV station, you may lose the contract.

Song Byung-jun had no choice but to give in, and immediately held a crew meeting to discuss the newly established actor candidates, including screenwriter Yoon Ji-lian and director Kim Ki-sang.

Usually a TV series, if the investor is not strong, it is the screenwriter or director is strong, and one of these three parties must be strong, this time the investor is the national TV station KBS, both the screenwriter and the director are not strong, and they can only express their ideas as much as possible within the framework of the production company.

"I invited you two here today to inform you that KBS TV unilaterally informed us that the actor of "Boys Over Flowers" Gu Junbiao must be played by Zhao Yuanxi." Song Bingjun said in a low voice, anyone who is inserted horizontally will be unhappy, not to mention that KBS has broken its promise not to interfere with the operation of the production company, of course he is angry, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Yoon Ji-lian is a beautiful middle-aged female writer, she is not a famous artist, but she is not an unknown person, she made her debut in the Korean screenwriting industry in 03, her works are mainly one-act short plays, and she is under considerable pressure to take over this classic comic adaptation.

Yoon Ji-yeon and Kim Ki-sang looked at each other, in fact, the casting did not have much impact on their work, but since the producer announced it, she also had to explain her thoughts.

After a moment of silence, Yin Zhilin opened his mouth and asked, "Is Zhao Yuanxi the singer known as the perfect Yuanxi?" ”

Song Bingjun nodded and said, "Yes, it's him." ”

Yin Zhilin's face was happy, "If it is perfect Yuanxi, I raise my hands in favor, perfect Yuanxi is very in line with the image of the noble son in the original book in terms of appearance, temperament and talent, otherwise it will not be named perfect by fans." In fact, I prefer him to play the elegant, gloomy and talented Hua Ze, which can better reflect his unique temperament and charm. I can't wait to see his makeup photos now. ”

Song Byung-joon nodded and looked at director Kim Ki-sang.

Kim Ki-sang coughed lightly and said, "I don't know what KBS TV plans to do, you must know that there has never been a precedent for a foreigner to play the leading role in a TV drama in my country, and if Cho Won-hee is chosen, I am afraid that it will cause resistance among the audience." ”

Yin Zhilin immediately retorted: "That's because you don't understand the popularity and influence of Perfect Yuanxi, what I know is that not only many students but also many mothers love Perfect Yuanxi, and the main viewers of our TV series are these people, as long as they support the ratings, they will be guaranteed." Moreover, Zhao Yuanxi's role as the leading actor is more conducive to sales in overseas markets. ”

Kim Ki-sang said: "It makes sense to say this, what I'm worried about now is that Zhao Yuanxi, as a singer and not a professional actor, may not be qualified as the leading actor." ”

Yoon Ji-rim smiled: "The Hanazawa class Kim Hyun-joong we selected is also the captain of SS501 and the singer of the group, don't we agree that it is very suitable?" And Zhao Yuanxi is not only a singer, but also a singer-songwriter, with him joining our crew, we can even worry about the creation and singing of OST. ”

"What Screenwriter Yin said makes sense, it seems that Zhao Yuanxi has a lot of advantages as the leading actor." Song Bingjun said with a smile.

Song Jishang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I still have reservations, unless Zhao Yuanxi can impress me with his actual performance." ”

"Of course, I will arrange for Zhao Yuanxi to come to the audition as soon as possible."

Yin Zhilin said: "If Perfect Yuanxi comes to audition, please be sure to notify me." ”

Song Bingjun said with a smile: "I am relieved to have our screenwriter and director review at the same time." ”

"Representative Song misunderstood, I am a fan of Perfect Yuanxi, it is his sunflower, I came to him for an autograph."

Song Jishang grinned bitterly, Song Bingjun rolled his eyes, sure enough, women love little fresh meat.

KBS's TV station agreed, and the matter was done. For Zhao Yuanxi, he only completed the first step, not even the first step, he just got a pass to enter the crew, and he really had to be recognized by the crew members, the director, screenwriter and the heroine who played opposite him to be considered successful.

He, Zhao Yuanxi, spent the boss's strength, not to fail, but to the great goal of sweeping Asia.

Please ask his agent Song Ki-fan and two assistants to collect the entire comics of "Boys Over Flowers" and TV series filmed in Japan, of course, the Taiwan version of "Meteor Garden" is indispensable, and get a more three-dimensional performance experience by figuring out the plot and characters.

As an authentic newcomer in the film and television industry, Zhao Yuanxi doesn't want to be said to have only one face.

"Honey, what are you looking at?" Jessica has been on a lot of trips lately, shooting pictorials, magazine photography, and regular schedules of popular songs, and she is so busy that every time she goes back to the dormitory, she just lies in bed and sleeps, and she doesn't even have the strength to remove makeup. finally ended the trip, and ran back to the villa to see Zhao Yuanxi a little early.

Zhao Yuanxi raised the comic book in his hand, did not speak, and continued to look down at the book.

"Comic books?" Jessica walked up to Zhao Yuanxi and asked curiously, "When did you start to like reading comics, or such a naïve girl's comics?" (To be continued......)
