Chapter 51: How to Squeeze Him Out
"The main event?"
Speaking of which, Chi Jingyuan came to the spirit. He hasn't made a TV series since he finished filming "Please Answer 1997" last year.
Because of the popularity of "Please Answer", coupled with the fact that his acting skills have also been widely recognized, he has won a lot of newcomer awards, and there are actually many role invitations sent to SM in the middle.
It's just that I was preparing a new album during that time, and I was very busy. The second is that after reading a lot of scripts, Chi Jingyuan felt that they were very ordinary, and some of the fragments in his memory did not match, so he simply did not act in his second play.
Because filming is really tiring, especially when there are other activities, Chi Jingyuan set himself the goal of 'one most drama per year' when he was filming "Please Answer", and now that 2013 has gone more than halfway, it's time to think about it.
At this time, Park Jae-hyun's news gave him some ideas.
"Inside, it is a very optimistic drama within SBS, and the main creative staff of the crew has already decided, the director is Kang Shin-hyo who has filmed the movie "Lao Qian", and the screenwriter you must have heard of is the famous screenwriter Kim Eun-sook."
Park Jae-hyun gave a brief introduction and said the names of several of the main creators of the crew.
"Hmm...... This lineup is really strong, which means that this is a new work written by Kim Eun-sook? ”
Chi Jingyuan nodded, indicating that he had admired the name for a long time.
Kim Eun-sook is still very famous in the Korean film and television industry, especially in the TV drama industry, she has written many famous and successful scripts, such as "Paris Lovers", "The Secret Garden", and "The Character of a Gentleman", which caused a lot of discussion and won many awards last year.
Since SBS's new work uses her new script this time, it will naturally be regarded as a key project of the TV station.
"That's right, I haven't gotten the specific script yet, but I've already seen the general plot, the tentative title of the play is "The Inheritor", the story is actually a bit old-fashioned, it is about the love story of a group of chaebol second-generation and ordinary girls in the school of the upper class of the peninsula."
"The heir and the second generation of the chaebol?"
"Inside, haha, how about it, it suits you very well as soon as you hear it, it's completely a true performance."
Park Jae-hyun laughed loudly, Ji Kyung-won came to play a second-generation chaebol, and he thought it was very interesting to think about it.
"Hmm...... How's the character selection going now? ”
After listening to the introduction, Chi Jingyuan corresponded to the picture in his mind, and he was a little moved.
"This script has been prepared for a long time, but there were some mistakes in the casting before, and it has been delayed until now, it was originally scheduled to start at the end of August, but now it is estimated that it will be delayed until September."
Park Jae-hyun knew a lot in advance and explained very skillfully: "The heroine has been determined to be Park Shin Hye, there are a total of three male characters with more scenes, the male protagonist is tentatively Lee Min Ho, the second male and the third male have not yet been determined, I heard that the competition is very fierce, after all, it is a new drama written by Kim Eun-sook." ”
"If Jingyuan is willing, we can fight for the second or third male, there should be no problem. But I took a look at the character setting, and the setting of the second male lead is a villain, with some bullying plots, which is not very suitable for your image. ”
"It means that the most suitable for me is the male number three......"
Ji Jingyuan muttered, and then he didn't make a sound, and only faint breathing could be heard on the phone.
Park Jae-hyun knew that the other party was thinking, so he didn't speak, waiting for Ji Kyung-won to judge for himself.
After pursing his lips and thinking for a while, Ji Kyung-won said loudly: "Has Lee Min Ho been confirmed to star?" ”
"The contract should not have been signed yet, but it should be almost negotiated, and the crew is also very optimistic about him." Park Jae-hyun hesitated and said.
"If I'm going to play the lead role, what do we need to do and what are the obstacles?"
After thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan said directly, his tone was flat but firm, and he seemed to have made a decision.
“…………”
Hearing Ji Kyung-won's tone, Park Jae-hyun immediately understood, he didn't persuade him, he immediately entered his role, and after thinking for a while, he began to offer advice:
"Jing Yuan, your acting qualifications are a lot worse than Lee Min Ho, only the blessing of the drama "Please Answer", but qualifications are not the most important thing, the focus is still on internal and personal connections and relationships, SBS TV We have a wide range of contacts, and there should be no problem with operating over there."
"And although your qualifications are shallower than his, your acting skills have been widely recognized, and during this time, EXO has exploded, and your popularity will also be valued by TV stations."
"Then there is the level of economic companies, the agency behind Lee Min Ho is Starhaus, not a big company, this is nothing, whether it is SM or us, we don't have to worry too much about it."
"The main problem now is that writer Kim Eun-sook admires Lee Min Ho very much, and I heard that she named Lee Min Ho to play the leading role, and the TV station also likes Kim Writer's opinion."
"Lee Min Ho was born in 87, and the actor is set to be 18 years old, with a big difference in age, if it weren't for the support of Writer Kim, he wouldn't have been decided to star so quickly."
"So if we want to squeeze him out, we can do everything else, and now the problem is to convince Kim Eun-sook to write."
Park Jae-hyun clarified the current focus in a few words, if Ji Kyung-won really wants to compete with Lee Min Ho or even squeeze him out of the position of the leading actor, whether it is a TV station, a brokerage company or even a crew, it is not a problem, and the biggest obstacle now is Kim Eun-sook.
Well-known writers have a lot of rights in the Peninsula crew, in this "Inheritor" crew, it can be said that the director can be changed at will, but the writer can't, the current role competition in this drama is so fierce, and the writer is she has a lot to do with it.
"Is there any special relationship between Writer Kim and Lee Min Ho?"
After hesitating for a moment, Chi Jingyuan glanced around and asked in a low voice.
The writer is so supportive and optimistic about an actor, it is inevitable that people will think about it a lot.
"I haven't heard of this, probably not. It is estimated that it is just a simple appreciation level, it may be that Lee Min Ho's appearance or acting skills are very to her appetite, and it is said that Writer Kim has been more optimistic about him since before. ”
Park Jae-hyun reminisced and expressed his speculation.
"If that's the case, it's okay, Brother Zaixian, then it's decided. Now let's start with the goal of making me the male protagonist of this drama, get SBS over there first, and then let SBS convince Kim Eun-sook, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Ji Jingyuan's fingers tapped lightly on his thigh, like playing a piano, and after thinking about it for a while, he made a decision.
"Okay, I'll start contacting now."
Park Jae-hyun nodded, and the two hung up the phone after a few more words.
"Hoo ......"
Ji Jingyuan exhaled lightly and moved his right hand, thinking about what Park Jae-hyun said just now.
In fact, he is not very worried about the outcome of Park Jae-hyun's activities, and if he can deal with the TV station, even if the writer opposes it, it will not affect it too much.
Unless Kim Eun-sook really appreciates Lee Min Ho to the point that she has lost her mind and is very tough, and would rather offend SBS than agree to change roles, it is naturally another matter.
Chi Jingyuan doesn't want to be too strong, and they don't have nothing to do when it comes to getting the TV station, so they must have to make some exchanges.
For Kim Eun-sook, he still hopes to focus on persuasion, maybe after meeting, people won't care about Lee Min Ho, and turn around to look at and appreciate him Ji Jingyuan?
He is actually quite confident in his personal charm.
"Kids, pack up and get ready to go, go have a meal first, there is a show to record in the evening."
"Inside."
At this time, the agent shouted at the door of the lounge, and several members immediately responded, took their personal belongings, moved around, and followed the agent out.
