Chapter 366: Li Dongxu's only chance in this life
An apartment in Seoul, South Korea.
Li Dongxu leaned on the sofa in the living room and looked at his agent in disbelief.
He stretched out his hand and pointed to his face: "Me? ”
"Are you sure you're looking for me?"
"Of course." The short and fat agent nodded his head: "I was also shocked when I learned the news, and after repeated confirmation, it was indeed true." ”
"That great director of Huaxia wants to invite you to act in a TV series produced by their company."
"Although he is the second male lead, the male protagonist is played by Director Wu Yuan himself!"
"It's just an exaggeration."
"He would deign to act in a TV series!"
Lee Dong Wook's agent was dancing and making exaggerated movements.
The class gap in South Korea's entertainment industry is much stricter and more obvious than that in the mainland.
Movie actors are more upscale than TV drama actors, TV drama actors are more upscale than singers, and singers are more upscale than funny artists.
This class division is obvious, and Chungmuro's movie actors will not easily act in TV dramas.
Some actors who make their movie debut may have been in the industry all their lives and have never acted in a TV series, let alone the director will come to be an actor.
may be in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, self-directing and self-acting is not a rare situation, and there are countless directors who are interested in playing guest actors.
But in South Korea, since the development of the entertainment industry, no film director has also been an actor, let alone acting in a TV series.
Now this international director in Huaxia is widely respected in Hollywood, and Wu Yuan, who was regarded as a guest of honor by the six major Hollywood majors, actually wants to star in a TV series.
And this TV series also invited Lee Dongxu to play the second male lead.
To be honest, when Li Dongxu's agent received the news, his first thought was that this was a scam!
He even suspected that the person on the other end of the phone was playing a prank on him.
After repeatedly confirming that the other party was really the person in charge of the Light and Shadow Times Film and Television Company from Huaxia, he reluctantly digested the news, and then came to his own artist Li Dongxu as soon as possible.
"Dongxu, this opportunity is very rare, this is a Chinese TV series, but according to people in the Light and Shadow Era, this TV series will also be broadcast simultaneously in South Korea."
"They will have an online video platform similar to YouTube, which will be launched in South Korea, and this TV series will be the first TV series launched by this video platform."
"Although, I don't quite understand the effect of this kind of online broadcasting, but this TV series will also be broadcast simultaneously in Huaxia."
"Huaxia has a vast market of 1.2 billion people, and our Hallyu stars have been working hard to enter Huaxia all these years."
"Look at Zhang Nara, who has a foothold in Huaxia, has filmed a lot of Huaxia TV series, and has also released Huaxia albums, has a lot of fans in Huaxia, and earns more than ten times more money in a year."
"She seems to be the same year as you, right?"
"Now, you also have this opportunity to enter the Huaxia market like her!"
The agent slapped the script on the table hard: "It's this TV series, as long as we take him, we have hope to enter the Chinese market." ”
"This is starring director Wu Yuan, I believe that all Chinese people will come to watch this TV series!"
Li Dongxu was also still in a shocked mood, and he looked at the script on the table in disbelief.
"Lonely and Brilliant Gods and Ghosts"
"What a strange name."
"But haven't we already agreed to KBS's "Partner" to appear in this drama?"
"It's okay!" The agent said excitedly: ""Partner" will be launched in May, and this "Ghost" will be launched in February, if it goes well, it will be completed in May." ”
"And even if there is a conflict in the later schedule, we can coordinate with KBS and postpone it for a month before launching "Partner"!"
"If KBS doesn't agree, it's a big deal that we will refuse to act, and none of the ten KBS dramas are as important as this "Ghost"!"
"This is the entire Huaxia market!"
Li Dongxu thought about it and had to admit that his agent was right, this kind of opportunity to enter the Chinese market is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an ordinary domestic TV series, there is really no way to compare.
"I see." He nodded and replied affirmatively, "Then please help me talk to Huaxia." ”
"I'd like to star in this TV series!"
After saying that, he picked up the script and read it.
"I'm going to play the second male lead, right, this messenger of the underworld, Wang Li?"
"Yes."
Li Dongxu roughly looked at the biography of the first few pages, and said with satisfaction: "It's a very charming character." ”
"I'll do my best."
"Who is the actor playing against me?"
"The actor who plays Sunny."
The agent scratched his head: "I don't know, the other party didn't say it, but I guess it should be a Chinese actor." ”
"The Light and Shadow Era only invited you, a Korean actor, and I heard them say that you were hand-picked by Director Wu Yuan."
"Maybe it's because "Your Girl" has been broadcast in Huaxia, and he has seen your wonderful performance on TV."
The Korean drama "My Girl" broadcast in 2005 starring Lee Do-hae, Lee Dong-wook and Lee Joon-gi was a dark horse on the Korean screen back then.
Although the first episode had a rating of 14%, the results were mediocre.
But as the plot progressed, the ratings increased step by step, and the national ratings of the last episode that aired have climbed to 24%, and the ratings of Seoul are as high as 26.4%, ranking first among the three TV dramas in the same time period.
Later, after it was broadcast on Jade Channel, southern audiences in the mainland could also watch it, and it also set a high rating for Jade Channel.
The Mango Channel in the mainland has already negotiated with the show party to introduce it, and it will be broadcast in the prime time of Mango Channel in June next year, and now the TV series "My Girl" has a high influence in the mainland.
Li Dahai and Li Dongxu also made a name for themselves in China.
Even so, Li Dongxu was flattered: "Director Wu Yuan actually noticed me and personally named me to act in this drama?" ”
"I will work hard to live up to Director Wu's trust!"
A fire burned in his chest.
Although Wu Yuan came to be an actor this time, he didn't forget Wu Yuan's own work, this is a top international director, his movies have sold well all over the world, if you can develop a relationship with him, then wouldn't Lee Dong Wook be able to become a Korean actor who goes abroad and enters Hollywood?
Hey, what actor hasn't had this kind of dream?
His agent also said excitedly: "Yes, Dongxu, you must do your best to act in this TV series this time, and show your acting skills in front of Director Wu, if you are favored by him, your future will be developed, and you will become a national-level or even world-class actor!" ”
"Moreover, this time I took this play, and the remuneration was also very rich."
"Huaxia people are really rich now, and they actually gave you a salary of 100 million won per episode!"
Is it more than 100 million in an episode?
Converted to RMB, it's only 500,000 episodes.
This price, in the mainland, where the salary is growing rapidly, is no longer a high salary, and second- and third-tier actors can get so much money.
But in South Korea, the salary for a single episode exceeds 100 million, which is a price that can only be obtained by first-line TV actors.
Huaxia's actors' salaries have begun to develop abnormally.
"I know, I'll try!" Li Dongxu nodded with conviction, and studied the script carefully.
He decided that in the next month, he would put off all his work, study the script in retreat, and he had to eat it thoroughly!
This may be the only chance in his life, and he must seize it!
Sorry, a little late, there's still a chapter.
