Section 163 Preliminary preparations for a new play

After resting at Jin Jidong's house for half a day, Li Jingyuan was much more comfortable. Before leaving with Li Xiaoli, Jin Jidong also invited him to go mountain climbing together next time, thinking about how many things he has done recently, Li Jingyuan had to regretfully refuse this invitation, and made an appointment with Jin Jidong to go together when he has time.

In the following time, because the ratings of the TV series "Palace" are getting higher and higher, and the influence is gradually increasing, seeing that the script written by Li Jingyuan has achieved such a great success, the three TV stations that have obtained Li Jingyuan's new script are a little unable to sit still, and the preparations for these three films have also accelerated under the urging of the high-level.

Whether it is KBS, MBC and SBS, they all take Lee Kyung-won very seriously now, so after the preliminary preparations for the TV series began, they have been consulting Lee Kyung-won, the screenwriter, not only for the preparation of scenes and props and costumes, but also for the selection of actors.

It is precisely because these things have piled up together that Li Jingyuan has almost been busy hitting the back of his head with his heels in the recent period, no, now he has to worry about the actor interview of the TV series again.

Kim Dong-ryu was the first to come to the door this time, and now he is holding Lee Kyung-won's script and sitting on the sofa in the living room of Lee Kyung-won's house to discuss the issue of actor selection with him.

The new script obtained by MBC is the historical drama "Queen Seondeok", because it is a script with a historical theme, so there are more issues to discuss, and among these problems, the most important is the choice of actors. is different from modern dramas, in historical dramas, actors have to play characters from a long time ago, and they don't have any real-life references when acting, so the requirements for acting skills are very high, and it is precisely because of such high requirements that you must be more careful when selecting actors, and at this time, the screenwriter's advice is even more important.

A screenwriter who can write a historical script must at least have some understanding of the history of that time period, and he cannot be said to be an expert, at least he is an authority, so the screenwriter has more say than others to confirm which actor is in line with the feeling of that era. It is for this reason that now Li Jingyuan has to put down the animation script that he is modifying in his hand and sit here and be pestered by Kim Dongyu to ask questions.

"Jing Yuan, when you write the script, you should have a ready-made character image in your mind, right? Let's talk about it, who is more suitable to play these characters in your heart? Jin Donglu didn't talk nonsense, he went straight to the topic, and when he asked a question, he also took out a notebook, ready to record Li Jingyuan's opinions.

"How can I say this, I can't say it for a while, there are too many characters." Li Jingyuan didn't want to just point out the actors in his memory, one or two people are okay to say, there are so many people, every one of Li Jingyuan is the most suitable candidate, that's too exaggerated.

"Then there are some suggestions." Jin Dongyu still didn't give up, and continued to ask, there is a big meaning that I won't stop if you don't say a few names.

"Okay, I'll talk about it a little, but don't count, the specific candidate will have to wait for the makeup to be tried on before it can be determined." Seeing that he couldn't push it over, Li Jingyuan had to relax a little: "The time span in this film is relatively large, first of all, it requires many characters to be played by two people, one is a teenager, and the other is what it looks like after adulthood, so this is something that needs to be paid attention to when selecting actors." ”

"Personally, I think that the most outstanding role in the script should be the role of Mei Muro, as a screenwriter, I personally recommend Gao Xianting to play her adult period, as for Mei Muro's juvenile years, I currently have no suitable candidate." In the original version, the girlhood of the beauty room was played by UEE, a member of AfterSchool, but Li Jingyuan has nothing to do with her now, so it's not easy to recommend it directly now, and UEE has not debuted now, if it is said that Li Jingyuan knows her, it is indeed quite suspicious.

"Gao Xianting?? Is it Gao Xianting, who made a comeback the year before last and played "Fox, What Are You Doing" last year? Jin Dongyu listened to Li Jingyuan's suggestion, wrote down Gao Xianting's name in the notebook, and then asked a little uneasy: "Is she suitable?" I remember the two films she made after her comeback, whether it was "Spring Day" or the one I just said, they were both modern dramas, and it seems that she has never challenged historical dramas, is it possible to let her take on such an important role for the first time to shoot a historical drama? ”,

Kim Dong-ryul's worries are not unreasonable, although Gao Xianting's acting skills are no problem, whether it is in her earliest work "Hourglass" or in her recent work "Fox, What Are You Doing", but this does not mean that she can play an important role in a historical drama well. Because the way the characters in historical dramas are played is completely different from period dramas, not only the demeanor and action, but also the tone and way of speaking the lines are very different, so it is indeed a very risky thing to let an actor who has never acted in a historical drama directly challenge such an important role.

"There should be no problem, how to say it, I have personally met her a few times, and I personally think she is very suitable for such a role, and the role of a feminine and tenacious strong woman is in line with her characteristics." Li Jingyuan did meet Gao Xianting a few times before, and at that time, Gao Xianting's husband was still the nephew of the Samsung president Lee Kun-hee, because of several business parties, Li Jingyuan also indirectly knew this actress.

"What about the others?"

"And Yim Tae-woong is also good, I think the role of Kim Yu-shin can be given to him. And, of course, adulthood. ”

"Well, it's the younger brother of Yan Zhenghua, right?"

In such a question-and-answer back and forth conversation, Li Jingyuan gave a few suggestions and said a few actors in his memory, which made Kim Dong-ryu also gain something. But who is Jin Dongyu, seeing that Li Jingyuan still has more candidates who have not been said, he is still ready to continue asking so that he can get more advice.

Just as Kim Dong-ryu was about to continue the questioning, the doorbell of Li Jingyuan's house suddenly rang. Standing up and looking out through the monitor, Li Jingyuan found that he didn't seem to know the two people at the door, and it seemed that the two were still a little contradictory.

Feeling a little strange, Li Jingyuan muttered, "What is the situation?" ”

"Excuse me, is Li Jingyuan XI at home? I'm from the KBS drama department. ”

"I'm from SBS TV, and I want to discuss something about the new drama with you."

The two of them said their identities one after another, and Li Jingyuan reacted at this time, it turned out that people from the other two TV stations came at the same time, and then looked at Jin Dongyu who was sitting on the sofa, Li Jingyuan couldn't help but feel a little funny, these TV stations are really true, how can they be so coincidental, they all came to the door in a hurry.

"Oh, I'll open the door for you right away, please wait a minute." Turning off the intercom, Li Jingyuan smiled at Jin Donglu who was sitting on the sofa, and asked jokingly: "Brother Donglu, have you discussed it, why did you all come to the door at the same time?" ”

Without waiting for Jin Dongyu to answer, Li Jingyuan let go of his doubts, walked out of the courtyard directly, opened the gate of the courtyard, and let the two people who were still looking at each other at the door into the house.

Originally, when I was at the door, I didn't like each other, but after entering the house, I saw Jin Dongyu's presence again, and the two people who were sent out by the TV station were even more anxious, and after sitting down, they didn't wait for Li Jingyuan to speak, and directly said their intentions.

"Li Jingyuan XI, hello. I am a director of the drama department of KBS, and my name is Hwang Sung-hoon. This rash visit is to discuss with you about the selection of actors for your new drama "The Rumored Seven Princesses", we want to hear your opinions, and we also want to discuss with you about the script later. ”

"Li Jingyuan XI, hello. I'm Xu Jun and I'm the director of SBS. The purpose of my visit today is also to talk to you about the new drama "The War of Money". ”

“……。 You've negotiated it, KBS, SBS, plus this MBC director who came less than half an hour early, why are you all in a hurry? Li Jingyuan muttered in a low voice, making several people present look a little embarrassed. But embarrassment is embarrassment, and for what to do today, these people still won't just give up.

Because there is a lot of preparation work in the early stage of the TV series, it takes a lot of time, and the opinion of Li Jingyuan, the screenwriter, is very important, so the three supervisors present wanted Li Jingyuan to agree to their request first, and discuss with themselves about the preparation of their new dramas. You must know that Lu Dao, looking at the current situation, as long as Li Jingyuan is busy, there must be no extra time, which means that those who start working with Li Jingyuan first can start formal filming first and gain the first hand in the competition with the other two TV stations.

This is still expected according to the best results. If it is according to the general situation, they still have an inertial thinking, thinking that Li Jingyuan is the same as other screenwriters when writing the script, and after the TV series starts filming, he will shoot a little bit and write a little, if this is the case, it means that Li Jingyuan can only cooperate with one TV station now, and after the TV series starts filming, he will not have time to cooperate with other people, because he still has to spend a lot of time to catch up with the script.

Seeing that the directors of the three TV stations were looking at him with expectant eyes, Li Jingyuan was also a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he had to say one of his own suggestions.
