Chapter Eighty-Three: Immaturity
"Ye Jin Xi, Lee Seung-woo, the director of "Don't Stop the Camera", wants to meet you, it seems that he wants to invite you to appear in the movie, I don't know what you think, do you want to meet?"
On this morning, Son Ye-jin suddenly received a call from her agent, and when the agent said her purpose, she couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Lee Seung-woo?
The rookie director who had a hit in the movie two months ago?
Invite me to appear in a movie?
Isn't his first film just over a month old, and he's about to start preparing for his second film so soon?
Young people are really energetic.
After hesitating, Son Ye-jin did not refuse, and responded: "I'm free for the past two days, you can contact the other party to arrange a time, after all, you are a director, and you can't be lazy." ”
Whether you will appear or not can be said separately, but it is still necessary to meet.
After all, they are in the same circle, and the other party is the director, although Lee Seung-woo's first movie "Don't Stop the Camera" Son Ye-jin has not seen it, but he still has respect for Son Ye-jin, a director who has more than 2 million viewers in his first movie.
What's more, Lee Seung-woo's age is still so young.
It doesn't waste any time to meet, you can also get to know each other and expand your network, if she is not satisfied with the script, she can politely refuse, but if you don't even see each other, it is easy to offend people.
Hanging up the phone, Son Ye-jin thought about it, turned on the TV to find the movie channel, searched for the movie "Don't Stop the Camera", and prepared to watch it first to have a preliminary understanding of Lee Seung-woo.
The other side.
After getting a reply from Son Ye-jin, Lee Seung-woo didn't plan to delay the time, and made an appointment directly the next morning.
The next morning, the café.
Seeing Son Ye-jin, Lee Seung-woo's eyes flashed with amazement.
Son Ye-jin was born in 1982 and happens to be 30 years old this year. A 30-year-old woman has both the appearance of a 20-year-old woman and the stability and wisdom of a 40-year-old woman.
The two sides greeted each other and sat opposite each other.
Lee Seung-woo didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Senior, this is the script I created, you can read it first, and we'll talk about it later." ”
"Huh?"
Son Ye-jin was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Lee Seung-woo to be so direct.
Reaching out to take the script, Son Ye-jin looked down at the name of the script - "Lost Delta".
opened the script and Son Ye-jin looked at it carefully.
Twenty minutes later.
After a quick look at the entire script, Son Ye-jin has a general impression of the story Lee Seung-woo is going to tell.
If this script is divided according to the type of movie, it should belong to a psychological suspense film.
The main content tells the story of Ji-hyun, a single mother, and a group of friends who go out to sea on a yacht and encounter a storm, but after boarding a hotel on a lonely island, they find that the hotel is empty, and the ensuing serial murders make Jihyun and others fall into the horror of reincarnation.
Films like this kind of tragic reincarnation are not uncommon at home and abroad, and there are many directors who have filmed this genre.
But there are very few that can really be shot brilliantly and make the audience talk about it.
However, after reading the entire script, Son Ye-jin has to admit that the concept of Lee Seung-woo's script is very clear, the simple closed-loop logic is tightly coordinated, and every detail is also intriguing.
From a script point of view alone, this is a very good script.
What's more, through the script, Son Ye-jin can see that this is an absolute heroine, and she will be the absolute protagonist.
I have to say that Son Ye-jin was moved.
It's just that.
Looking up at Lee Seung-woo's handsome but immature face, Son Ye-jin couldn't help but feel a trace of hesitation in her heart.
There is no doubt that the script is very good, and Lee Seung-woo can also be described as talented.
She just watched Lee Seung-woo's movie "Don't Stop the Camera" yesterday, and in terms of creativity and plot structure, Lee Seung-woo is not at all like a rookie director, and even more talented than many mature directors. It can be said that Lee Seung-woo's ability to write scripts is extremely outstanding, whether it is the previous "Don't Stop the Camera" or the current "Lost Delta", Lee Seung-woo's talent in writing scripts is undoubted.
But in terms of the use of cinematic lenses...... "Don't Stop the Camera" is really not very good.
This is also what makes Son Ye-jin hesitate.
She likes this script very much, but she is a little worried about whether she can really make this movie well with Lee Seung-woo's ability.
After all, if the first-class script is handed over to a third-rate director, the final film will be able to reach the second rate, and if such a thing really happens, it would be a pity for such a wonderful story.
Son Ye-jin subconsciously had an impulse to buy the copyright of this script and then find a more suitable director to work with, but when the words came to her lips, Son Ye-jin swallowed it after all.
She knew that if she really spoke, there was a 99% chance that she would be rejected by Lee Seung-woo, and she might even offend Lee Seung-woo by the gains.
After all, Lee Seung-woo is looking for her to cooperate, not to sell scripts.
If she makes such a request, it means that she does not believe in Lee Seung-woo's ability, and it will be seen as a great humiliation for a director like Lee Seung-woo who has succeeded at a young age.
Son Ye-jin put down the script, adjusted her mood, and said, "The script is excellent, and Seungwoo Xi is really talented." ”
Lee Seung-woo smiled when he heard this.
He is not a roundworm in Son Ye-jin's stomach, so naturally he doesn't know what Son Ye-jin thinks, let alone that Son Ye-jin wants to buy his script and kick him out of the door.
I have to say that although Lee Seung-woo already has a successful film and even his ability to write scripts is highly recognized, it is really difficult for him to give confidence at his age of only in his early twenties. Before he really saw Lee Seung-woo's directing ability, his immature face and the age of the weak crown made people inherently have an immature suspicion.
In the final analysis, Lee Seung-woo is just a college student, and there is only one movie "Don't Stop the Camera", without the accumulation and proof of several movies, this suspicion will not be dispelled in a short time because of the success of a movie.
After all, others don't know that Lee Seungwoo has a mature soul.
Li Chengyou actually knows this, but he can't help it, who made him really only in his early twenties and still a student in school.
Empathy, if he puts himself in someone else's shoes, he will also be suspicious of young people.
After all, being young means that there is not enough accumulation of experience or experience, and that kind of genius with talent and talent will always be a very small minority of the very few in reality, and who dares to be sure that the young man opposite is one of the very few of these very few as soon as they meet.
All Lee Seung-woo can do is prove himself.
Looking at Son Ye-jin, Lee Seung-woo first said humbly: "The predecessors are too famous." Then asked, "I wonder if my predecessors have the will to act after reading the script?" ”
