Chapter 499: Negotiation

2009, officially kicked off!

newcomers, old people; Portfolio, individual; Singer, actor...... Like a piece of precision instruments, they began their journey in the new year.

It is normal for the old and the new to alternate, and it is also common for old trees to bloom...... Anything can happen in the entertainment industry, and Kim Sung-won's return to the music scene after eight years and the occupation of 2008 in one fell swoop is the biggest miracle in the entertainment industry.

At the beginning of 2009, countless artists have adjusted their mentality and are ready to no! It is already working hard for the new year. They don't know if they'll be the protagonist in 2009, but they know they'll never have a chance if they don't. Becoming an artist is only the first step in realizing the "star dream", and the only real stars are those who stand at the top of the pyramid.

All artists are moving towards the top of the pyramid, looking for that glimmer of opportunity through hard work and various methods, whether it may be a song, a TV series, or a change in the direction of a noble person or pop...... Before the opportunity is turned into a fact, no one knows whether this is their own opportunity or not, they can only try again and again!

Artists who have already achieved success also need to put in more effort to maintain their popularity.

It is for this reason that artists hate and love their busy schedules.

……

On January 5, at a café near Insadong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Kim Sung-won crossed his hands, supported his chin with the back of his hands, and looked out the window with his eyes slightly narrowed.

If there is any big topic at the beginning of 2009, it is naturally "Boys Over Flowers", which will premiere tonight.

"Boys Over Flowers", based on the Japanese manga of the same name. In Japan, as early as 2005 and 2007, the first and second seasons of the TV series version of "Boys Over Flowers" were filmed successively, and they achieved extraordinary results. Last year, Japanese director Yasuharu Ishii made it into a movie, which became the runner-up at the Japanese box office in 2008 with 7.75 billion yen.

Influenced by the popularity of "Boys Over Flowers" in Japan, KBS TV decided to shoot a Korean version of "Boys Over Flowers". Adapted by Yoon Ji-lian. This TV series tells the story of a modern-day Cinderella romance with a prince.

This is a vulgar, bloody, and filmed plot that seems to most men, but countless young women watch it with relish and enjoy it.

And "Boys Over Flowers", it can be judged from the name that it is a female route.

On the way to the café, Kim Sung-won saw posters of "Boys Over Flowers" posted everywhere, and even on the building opposite the café, there was a huge poster.

The four leading actors, Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Beom, and Kim Jun are all completely handsome men, plus they play the young master of the big chaebol. It can be said that this TV series has attracted the attention of most young women before it has even been broadcast.

However, Kim Sung-won's eyes at the moment did not pay attention to the four Lee Min Ho, he was completely indifferent to this kind of TV series, what he was looking at was the female lead of this TV series - Gu Hye-sun.

Since that day, Goo Hye-sun has never actively pursued him. Although I occasionally send a few text messages to greet me, I don't have the strong emotions I used to have.

Kim Sung-won's evaluation of Goo Hye-sun is "a smart and unobnoxious girl". In the entertainment industry, smart or unobnoxious women are common, but there are not many who have both.

However, feelings have little to do with a person's character. It's like Kim Sung-won is completely in love with Taeyeon, and he didn't even know Taeyeon very well at that time. Along the way, the two have tacitly understood each other's thoughts through a single look......

At this time, the light dimmed slightly. Two figures suddenly appeared in Jin Shengyuan's sight, and the guest he was waiting for came.

Jin Shengyuan got up and looked at a pair of middle-aged men and women who walked in together. …,

"Hello, President Kim Sung-won!" After the two saw Jin Shengyuan with a smile on their faces, they nodded at the same time and walked over.

"Director Chen He, screenwriter Su Xianjing, hello." Jin Shengyuan stretched out his hand to invite the two of them to take a seat.

He chose a secluded location under the glass window, where there were no other guests around, and the sunlight was streaming in. The warmth sprinkled on the body makes people feel lazy.

on the bracket next to the window. There is a pot of pothos, a pot of spider plants, and a pot of gem flowers, which are full of greenery. Lush, it makes people feel happy.

On the beige sofa, Jin Shengyuan sat alone on one side, and Chen He and Su Xianjing sat opposite him.

At first glance, Chen He was no different from an ordinary middle-aged man, wearing a black coat, a leather brim flat hat on his head, small eyes, and a pair of glasses; Su Xianjing was wearing a black warm jacket, with long hair over her shoulders, a slightly chubby figure, very white skin, and an amiable smile on her face.

When Jin Shengyuan looked at the two, Chen He and Su Xianjing were also looking at the man opposite, who could be called a demon.

Black slacks, wearing a white warm shirt and a wool shoulder with a white diamond pattern on the outside, are stable and generous without looking old. Perhaps to show respect for them, Jin Shengyuan's hair is not the flamboyant hairstyle at the end of last year, but neatly combed and neat.

What is especially obvious is the confident and unassuming smile on Kim Sung-won's face. In Su Xianjing's opinion, Jin Shengyuan's appearance is not very good-looking, at best it is four points, but the temperament on his body adds five points to him, if the full score is ten points.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the three began to discuss and discuss the specific filming of "Splendid Legacy".

Kim Sung-won and SBS TV about the TV series "Splendid Heritage" have been roughly finalized, and after paying a certain price, he finally got the copyright of this TV series in his hands.

Today, Kim Sung-won made an appointment to meet Chen He and Su Hyunjing to prepare for the filming of this TV series, and it can be said that "Splendid Heritage" was finalized by the three of them from props, actors, episodes, etc.

Most of the time, Chen He and Su Xianjing narrated, and Jin Shengyuan listened. Occasionally, Chen He and Su Xianjing would have a very sharp collision, and at this time, Jin Shengyuan needed to temporarily appease the two.

As we all know, in the Korean entertainment industry, the status of screenwriters is very high, even surpassing directors. On the set, the director and the screenwriter quarrel. often runs through the production of a TV series.

In order to shoot his own ideas, the director will inevitably make small changes to some lines and scripts, but the screenwriter must insist on his own ideas, so that disputes between the two sides are inevitable, and Kim Sung-won has long been surprised by this, and he does not care about the quarrel between the two.

Moreover, his status as a producer is not necessarily higher than that of the two. It can only play a persuasive role.

Since the Korean TV industry has a separate production and broadcasting system, during the broadcast of TV dramas, advertisers will decide the amount of advertising based on audience feedback and viewership surveys.

This completely market-oriented operation forces the screenwriter to carefully create the script and the director to study the filming techniques. If the audience feedback is not good, the amount of advertising will be reduced accordingly, and the interests of the producer will be damaged. The remuneration and credibility of writers and directors will also be affected; Conversely, if the feedback received is better than expected, then the screenwriter's remuneration will increase accordingly. Driven by commercial interests, the director, screenwriter and producer have formed a complete strategic alliance.

Don't look at Chen He and Su Xianjing's quarrel very much, they are not fledgling young people, they all know in their hearts, and they will not touch each other's bottom line. …,

Moreover, Chen He and Su Xianjing also had a little thought and showed it to Jin Shengyuan. If the two are too tacit. It's not necessarily a good thing for the producers. They didn't mean to treat Jin Shengyuan as a young man at all, not to mention other achievements, just the fact that Jin Shengyuan acquired 7% of the shares of SBS TV station without knowing it was enough for the two to put him on an equal footing with themselves.

"First of all, I should state that the two of you should know that all I care about is the results of the TV series, and I have never had the idea of fighting for power, and the movie "Haeundae" must also be understood. I've never meddled in anything. Jin Shengyuan waited for the two to finish speaking. He said to them.

Chen He and Su Xianjing nodded.

"The selection of actors can be left to the two of them, but. I hope Lee Seung-gi will lead the male lead. Jin Shengyuan continued. There are many actors in a TV series, and there will inevitably be some "related households", which is inevitable. When the water is clear, there are no fish, Jin Shengyuan believes that Chen He and Su Xianjing will grasp this degree.

However, for the starring role of this TV series, Kim Sung-won fell in love with Lee Seung-gi, that is, the junior who replaced Jang Keun Suk in "Beethoven Virus" last year.

The director of "Beethoven Virus" and many seniors have a good evaluation of Lee Seung Gi, although his acting skills still need to be honed, his attitude is modest and serious, and the most important thing is to be willing to work hard and really spend his heart and soul to study acting skills, which is very rare in the increasingly impetuous entertainment industry.

Kim Sung-won himself has a very good impression of this junior who always has a smile on his face and is humble and polite. Every time there is a holiday or when he wins an award, Lee will take the initiative to send him a text message to congratulate him, but he never mentions anything else.

After reading the script of "Splendid Legacy" this time, Kim Sung-won looked at Lee Seung-gi's acting skills in "Beethoven Virus" and felt that he could be qualified for the leading role. This role is given to others, since Lee Seung Gi can be competent, why don't you mention him?

Chen He and Su Xianjing didn't expect Jin Shengyuan to make such a request, and at the same time, their brows furrowed slightly. The actor of the TV series has always been the most fiercely contested position, and the person who makes the decision can not only get the gratitude and friendship of the other party, but also the favor of the other party's agency.

Kim so-hyun Weishenme is known as the supreme of Korean screenwriters, Weishenme dared to shoot at MBC TV and won? Isn't it because of the "Kim so-hyun team" that she has accumulated step by step!

It stands to reason that the male lead of most TV series is to notify a few actors who watch haode, and then let them come to audition before deciding on the final candidate. But now Jin Shengyuan has directly finalized the actor of this TV series, and even the two of them are not familiar with each other, which makes them very embarrassed.

"The two of you can discuss," Kim Sung-won did not force the two of them, but said in a harmonious voice, "I believe that Lee Seung Gi will definitely satisfy the two of them." And you can rest assured that I'm not going to meddle in anything else. Actually, it's not that Jin Shengyuan doesn't want to interfere at all, but he understands that it's good to leave professional things to someone to do.

After Chen He and Su Xianjing saw Jin Shengyuan's sincere attitude, the vigilance in their eyes disappeared a lot, and after a moment of whispered communication, they finally agreed and nodded to Jin Shengyuan.

It is more cost-effective to win the favor of Kim Sung-won than to gain the favor of an actor - Chen He and Su Hyunjing still understand this.

"I wish us a happy cooperation." Seeing this, Jin Shengyuan smiled slightly, picked up the coffee, and said to the two.
