Chapter 105: I Can't Look at It
"Do you have any suggestions?"
Kim Eun-sook asked with a smile, and added without waiting for Ji Jingyuan to answer: "Although we have not recruited actors from outside the world because the most important actor has not been determined before, you also know our drama, hehe...... Therefore, it is still relatively well-known in the circle, and the crew has received a lot of resumes from the list of actors submitted by the agency, such as Park Bo-young xi, Yoo In-na xi, Park Shin Hye xi and so on......"
After a pause, she lifted her glasses: "Including the crew, there are also many people who are more in line with the character image and suitable for you, such as the original Jin Gaoyin xi, IUxi, Lee Hye-ri xi, Pei Xiuzhi xi...... Even Lin Yun'er xi we have thought about it, but there are many people who don't support it, after all, she and Ling are from the same company, and SM, hehe......
Ji Jingyuan listened to these names very seriously, especially a few familiar names that made his heart move, but after listening to it, he didn't mean to answer at all, just looked at Kim Eun-sook and shook his head with a wry smile: "What do I have any opinions on this kind of thing now, it must be based on the ideas of the main creators of your crew." ”
His own role has not yet been determined, how can he directly give any suggestions for the casting of the heroine, even if Kim Eun-sook is very optimistic and appreciates him, but he is just discussing it in private, he will not go too far.
And Ji Jingyuan actually doesn't have any suggestions now, he hasn't studied the setting of the heroine too much, and he doesn't know who is more suitable...... Although most of the TV series casting on the peninsula, 'suitability' is not really important, the connections and relationships, the resources and communication of the agency are the most important.
Even if he wants to give advice, he will have to wait until his own role is determined and he has a clear idea......
"You......"
Hearing Ji Jingyuan say this, Jin Eunshu looked at Ji Jingyuan helplessly and smiled, stretched out her hand and nodded at him a few times, she obviously understood what Ji Jingyuan meant, and did not continue to ask, took a sip of coffee and nodded: "Then let's determine your role first......"
……
After saying goodbye to Kim Eun-sook, I took the car back to the company, but the traffic in Seoul was still so helpless, and many places on the way back were congested, and the stop-and-go was very incoherent.
Ji Kyung-won didn't have any irritability from traffic jams, he sat in the back of the nanny's car, thinking about the information he had just gotten from Kim Eun-sook.
The two male protagonists who are set are Kong Yu and him, and the script is also given to the two of them, Chi Jingyuan's side has already agreed to it after a period of consideration, and Kong Yoo's side has already rejected it once before, and there has been no further reply for a long time after that, so there should be no interest.
According to this sister's tone and statement, if there is no change in Kong Yoo, he will move around a little more, and there should be no problem in winning the position of the leading actor.
However, we still have to see the meeting with director Lee Yingfu and the follow-up audition.
On the contrary, the news that the heroine heard was quite interesting.
The crew originally scheduled that the heroine who would play 'Lori' was Jin Gaoyin...... A few days ago, when Baeksang Art Awards, Chi Jingyuan met with her, and chatted a few words, this sister's acting skills are really good, but she is not a beauty in the standard sense, if you take off the setting of 'uncle and Lori', it will be a little insufficient in a love drama with high requirements for appearance.
Chi Jingyuan recalled the short hair style of Jin Gaoyin that night, and it was indeed a little inappropriate if he played with him.
After Kim Go-eun, most of the candidates mentioned by Kim Eun-sook are very well-known young actresses, and the most familiar of them are naturally Lim Yoon-a's predecessors and Bae so-ji.
Yun'er's predecessor crew already felt that it was not suitable, after all, it was impossible for the male and female protagonists to use actors from SM to make it the same as a self-made drama.
However, the focus of Ren Yun'er's predecessors' recent activities has shifted to the mainland of Xia, where the income is much higher than that of the peninsula, I heard that she has decided to take over a very large TV series in the mainland, and now it is about to enter the stage of preparing for the start of filming, so she also rejected several scripts on the peninsula, and "the K2" that Chi Jingyuan got last time is one of them.
Maybe other people's predecessors still can't look at this "Ghost".
And Bae Xiuzhi's words...... After the fire of "Introduction to Architecture", her filming results in the past two years are not particularly good, JYP's resources in the film and television industry are not good, and after some hard work, she received the drama "Arbitrary Attachment", which looks good, but after filming, according to Pei Xiuzhi's feelings and complaints, it seems that this drama is very likely to hit the street.
Although I feel that she fits the role setting quite well, if "Arbitrary Attachment" does not perform well, the crew of "Ghost" will not necessarily use her.
But it's an afterword for the heroine to use whoever she uses, so she still has to wait until he determines her role first......
After stopping and finally returning to the company, Ji Kyung-won first went to the café on the first floor to buy a drink, and was going to go to the practice room to get something first, and then go to Park Jae-hyun to discuss the TV series.
He took the elevator upstairs while drinking a drink and swiping his mobile phone, and instead of reading the news on the peninsula, he swiped Weibo on the mainland.
As soon as I opened the hot search, I saw a familiar name:
"The press conference of Lay's new drama "Old Nine Gates" was held today"
Chi Jingyuan clicked on the stills and looked at the comments of the fans below, and was amazed in his heart, saying that the development of the third brother lay is getting better and better, not to mention the crazy fans of the fixed variety show, the film and television resources are also one after another, and I feel that the momentum is no worse than the original M team TOP luhan.
The people who went out of their XO were really more powerful than the other, making their old teammates feel extremely honored.
With the nostalgia and blessings of the old members of the team in his heart, Chi Jingyuan read it for a while and then swiped other news, and flipped through the pages and actually saw a blog post related to himself:
"I went to the peninsula with my friends to see the stage where EXO returned this time, but unfortunately I didn't get the qualification to enter the singing show (crying)...... Anyway, EXO is really hot on the peninsula, we went to Dongdaemun and Hongdae to shop, and you can hear "missing" and "monster" in many restaurants and shops, and the streets and alleys are really everywhere, and the essence of the TOP boy group is full, and my personal feeling is that there are more "missing", but there are more pictorials of "monster".
However, I was able to participate in XO's signing in Busan yesterday, and when I finally saw Yuan, I spoke (laughs), and my heart is beating wildly when I think about it. It's really good to look at at close range, the temperament is super super good, it's really the feeling of a sunny boy, it's not an exaggeration at all...... Sisters must go to see real people if they have the chance, which is completely different from what is on TV.
And really spoiled fans, he listened to me after I said Chinese and directly spoke to me in Chinese, his Chinese really spoke very good, Mandarin is more standard than mine (I also have a little dialect), knowing that I am a fan from the mainland, he is obviously very interested, very happy, the staff came to urge back to block back, specially extended the time to talk a lot, and he heard that we came three people, two people did not draw the signing qualifications, and also took the initiative to sign for us all.
His exact words were, "Don't let them come in vain."
Do you know how I felt when I heard that? I almost cried.
The two Ellies, who went with me, were also very excited and touched after getting the TO visa, and one of them was still crying tears...... But I understand her.
This trip to the peninsula was so meaningful that I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
It's a pity, I heard that SM activities have always not allowed idols to shake hands, and I didn't dare to mention it, but now that I think about it, it's a little regrettable, and I feel like if I said it at the time, Oba should be willing......
There is also a little regret, I was going to ask, but I was so excited at the time that I forgot to ask him if there was a follow-up album for XO this time......
(Enclosure: Selected Conversations Between Yuan and Me)
(Pictured: TO Signature)
This blog post is very long, and it is also written very seriously, Chi Jingyuan probably browsed it, and he quickly saw that it was actually the one from yesterday's signing meeting, which should be the post of Xia Guonu's pink hair named Liu Zilu, and he also saw his handwritten TO signature in the picture below.
Unexpectedly, after she went back, she really bragged about it on the Internet, and it actually became a hot search post, and was praised by the majority of Aili in the mainland.
"Looking at it this way, the news that circulated before should be true, Yuan is indeed a person who is particularly fond of fans, and he really attaches great importance to Xia Guo's Aili, there is really nothing wrong with fanning him."
Yuan is also too good, "I can't let them come for nothing", how could he say this kind of thing so naturally and easily? He doesn't know how much the sensual woman's heart will be shaken. ”
"What kind of fairy luck is it to go on a trip to draw and sign it? I can actually chat with Yuan Oba and get a TO sign...... Woo woo woo woo, sister, don't say it, I'm already going to die of envy. ”
"It's sour, Yuan's TO sign is really rare, he seems to sign it only according to his mood...... Sister, out? Out of the self. ”
The following is full of amazement, envy, and all kinds of messages with red eyes, and countless Aili have come to pay tribute to Chi Jingyuan's TO sign below, and there is a trend of getting more and more popular...... And this blog post seems to have given him the label of a favorite fan, and it seems to have helped his reputation somewhat.
Chi Jingyuan also smiled after seeing it, he may have been a little enthusiastic after knowing that the other party was a fan of Xia Guo from afar yesterday, but in fact, it was just a normal feedback from idols to fans, so if it could become a memory that this female rice 'will never forget for a lifetime'.
He's really honored.
Ding to the floor of the practice room, Chi Jingyuan got to the floor and walked out of the elevator, took a sip of a drink and looked at his mobile phone in a good mood, but he had just taken two steps forward, and he felt that there seemed to be a few figures standing in the corridor in front of him.
He looked up, was stunned for a moment, and the straw in his mouth stopped.
If he is not mistaken, in their SM company, the corridor at the entrance of the EXO practice room is actually Lin Nalian, and he has also seen a man and a woman next to him, who seems to be the agent on JYP's side.
These people obviously also heard the footsteps and movements, and saw Chi Jingyuan walking over, the two agents smiled on their faces as soon as they saw him, and walked a few steps here as if they were going to say hello, while Lin Nalian was also stunned for a moment, glanced at Chi Jingyuan, who was carrying a shoulder bag and wearing private clothes, and the orange juice drink he held in his hand, and also approached.
After a simple hello, Chi Jingyuan saw these people and asked with some confusion: "Why are you ......?"
"Don't you know that Jingyuan Xi has a cooperation stage......"
As soon as the male agent said, Chi Jingyuan froze for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Oh, you said that." ”
As soon as he said this, he remembered, a few days ago, his agent Lee Seung-hwan mentioned to him that there was a mid-year special in "Music Bank" at the end of the month in a few days, and at the invitation of the program team, SM and JYP, two companies that have a good relationship now, arranged a special stage after discussion, and the track was determined to be the 2014 Yuan and suzy's hit collaboration track "some", and at the same time, it will imitate the collocation of the original song, and select a member from EXO and Twice to work together on this stage.
Twice's side looks at the situation as Lin Nalian, and EXO's side is not suitable for playing because Ji Jingyuan is the original singer of this song, and fans definitely don't want to see him and Lin Nalian's cooperation.
In the end, Park Chanyeol was chosen by XO.
"Are you going to practice today?" Chi Jingyuan looked at a few people and took the lead in walking into the practice room: "Have you connected with our agent...... Why are you outside? Let's go in. ”
"Inside, we will have the first practice today......" The agent nodded and followed behind: "I've already talked to Seunghwan Xi, we just came from his office, Chanyeol Xi may have something to explain, and it was a little delayed." ”
Brother Park Chanyeol, didn't he remember that he was going to fly to Xia Kingdom today......
Ji Jingyuan nodded, a thought flashed in his heart, but he didn't say it.
Although EXO officially returned a few days ago, and now it is in the return period, but each member's personal itinerary will not stop, and the company will also specially stop the itinerary of the large group to set aside time for each member's personal information, such as Bian Boxian's "Step by Step Horror" is still being filmed, even during the return period, it is constantly running at both ends.
As for Park Chanyeol's words, he remembered that this brother said yesterday that he was going to fly to the mainland today to attend the press conference of the movie "So I Married Black Fans", but he didn't expect that there would be a special stage practice in the afternoon.
The flight should have been scheduled for the evening.
The reason why I remember it so clearly is because at the beginning of the movie "So I ...... with Black Fans", the company wanted him to play the leading role, that is, the role of Park Chanyeol now. It's just that Ji Jingyuan was reading the script, and was shocked by the script structure, plot development and the name of the protagonist at that time, so he immediately found a few excuses and politely declined, and later the company was replaced by Park Chanyeol, who is also developing in film and television.
"Come in." Chi Jingyuan knew that there was no one in the practice room at this time, so he took the lead and took the initiative to open the door to let Lin Nalian and a few people come in first, and casually pointed to signal them to sit casually.
Lin Nalian hasn't spoken since they met just now, except for saying hello, and she doesn't look as lively as in the show, she follows behind the agent very well-behaved, only occasionally poking her eyes to look at the back in front of her, and then looking around at EXO's practice room.
To be honest, whether it is the decoration, lighting, area, facilities, and even all kinds, it is much better than the practice room on JYP's side.
Although I don't want to admit it, I do have a little bit of envy.
Following the agent, Lin Nalian sat on a small sofa not far from the door, watched Chi Jingyuan walk over and take a stack of documents and put them in his bag, and then took the initiative to walk to the Xiaoice box next to him, took a few bottles of water and came over and handed them to them.
"Kangsang Mida ......" Lin Nalian hurriedly stood up and took the water, pursed her mouth and held it in her hand.
After Chi Jingyuan finished giving water, he glanced at Lin Nalian, this girl was wearing a sports outfit with short sleeves and long pants, her hair was tied behind her head and she wore a hairpin, she looked very fresh without much makeup, but the pair of rabbit teeth were still too conspicuous.
Seeing her honest appearance with a water bottle, he thought about it, walked to the small cabinet next to him and rummaged through it, took out two packs of seaweed crumbles, which he usually stored here and loved to eat, and walked over and first handed a pack to the male agent, and then gently threw another bag to Lin Nalian from a distance of one or two meters.
"It's just fine, let's try it, it tastes good......"
"Brother, wait here for a while, I guess they'll be here soon." Chi Jingyuan didn't wait for them to say anything, and after taking the things, he waved his hand and left: "I still have something to do over there, so I'll leave first." ”
"Okay, okay, Jingyuan, go get busy." The agent glanced at the snacks in his and Lin Nalian's hands, hurriedly got up, and said goodbye with a smile.
Lin Nalian looked at the back of Chi Jingyuan, who was carrying a shoulder bag and quickly walked out of the practice room after waving her hand, and the 'thank you' that had reached her mouth just now paused and swallowed it back.
"Jing Yuanxi's personality is really good...... And his hobby of sharing snacks with people is still like this, hehe, the same as when he was in our company. ”
"But the new SM building is really beautifully decorated......"
Lin Nalian sat down again. There was an exchange between the two agents in her ears, she looked at the unopened seaweed fragment in her hand, blinked and took it in her hand to look at it carefully for a while, and then carefully put it into her bag.
……
"How was it to meet with writer Kim Eun-sook today?" In the office, Park Jae-hyun looked at Ji Jingyuan, who was sitting on the sofa casually, and saw that he was holding a half-drunk drink in his hand, so he smiled and did not take the initiative to take the water, but sat next to him and asked.
