Chapter 370: Yang Mi and Li Dongxu
Located in the Park Hyatt, a top luxury hotel in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
Zeng Jia and Yang Mi, who had just arrived from China, were looking at the interior of this top luxury hotel in amazement.
Of course, the two of them are not qualified to talk to Wu Yuan to talk to the person in charge of tvN, but Yang Mi is also very satisfied with the current situation.
"When I came up, I asked, this room costs $200 a day." Zeng Jia said with great emotion: "If you want to live for at least two months, the accommodation fee alone will be 100,000 yuan." ”
"It's really rich in the age of light and shadow!"
Rongxinda is also one of the big brokerage companies in the mainland, and they can produce TV dramas at their own expense, barely opening up the upstream and downstream to provide one-stop services.
But even so, when Yang Mi was in Rongxinda, the company was not so extravagant that she lived in a five-star hotel in and out, and it was also top luxury.
She jumped on the soft bed with satisfaction and buried her head in the silk quilt: "This groove is really worth it." ”
"yes." Zeng Jiamei smiled: "Listen to me." ”
"Although your salary for "Ghost" this time is not high, only 200,000 yuan per episode, this is the company's own project, as long as you perform well in front of Director Wu, it will be in the eyes of Director Wu, and the future is limitless."
Zeng Jia showed a look of longing on his face: "I've heard that Director Wu is in the United States, and there is a Hollywood blockbuster in preparation, the kind that will be released worldwide." ”
"If you can catch this movie, it's really amazing."
When Yang Mi heard this, there was also a bit of ambition in her eyes, and she nodded fiercely: "I know!" ”
"What about the script, I'll read the script a few more times and figure it out."
God is pitiful, she can swear to God, during the college entrance examination, she didn't work hard after taking the script of "Ghost" this time!
And just when the two of them were pondering the script, outside Yang Mi's door, Li Dongxu, who was with an assistant and translator, also stood at the door with some apprehension.
The bigwigs of China and South Korea are talking, and he, the leading actor, is not idle.
After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and rang the doorbell gently.
Soon, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded from inside the door.
Zeng Jia said in English: "Wait a minute", and hurriedly ran to open the door, she thought it was some room service.
"Hey, you're it?" When she saw that the waiter standing at the door was not a smiling waiter, but Li Dongxu, who was handsome and extraordinary in a suit and leather shoes, she was stunned.
"Hello, I'm actor Li Dongxu, and I will play the role of Wang Li, the messenger of the underworld, in "Ghost".
"May I ask Miss Yang Mi if she has time, I want to communicate with her about the filming of this drama and play a pair of scenes together."
"The two of us have a lot of rivalry and a line of feelings, and I want to discuss it with Yang Mixi before the script workshop starts."
Script Workshop.
To put it simply, the director and screenwriter call all the leading actors together to exchange and discuss the script, share their understanding of the script, their understanding of the characters they play, and help each other understand themselves.
Generally, before the start of TV series and movies, there must be several rounds of script study meetings, especially the more demanding directors pay more attention to this.
Only later, after the opening of the era of mainland traffic, the actors became more and more famous than the other, and the status of TV drama directors became lower and lower, so they couldn't call the actors at all, and the top actors just had no schedule and no time, so they gradually stopped holding script study meetings.
But no one dared to play a big card in front of Wu Yuan.
On the contrary, Li Dongxu was afraid that when he met Wu Yuan for the first time, he did not have a deep understanding of the script and characters, which made Wu Yuan dissatisfied, so he rushed to find Yang Mi and wanted to "open a small stove" with her.
After all, the two are rival actors, and when they understand the script, they also understand each other's roles.
"Oh good!" Zeng Jia was a little surprised by the Korean actor's professional attitude, stretched out his head to look at it, and after making sure that there was no one else in the corridor, let alone paparazzi, he invited him into the room.
"Mi Mi, Li Dongxu, who played opposite you, came to exchange scripts with you."
Yang Mi, who was rolling on the bed in the back room, turned over a carp, looked at the vanity mirror against the wall, and quickly tidied it up, and then walked out of the room quickly.
"Oh, you're pretty handsome!" At the first sight of Li Dongxu, Yang Mi sighed in her heart.
"Yang Mixi, it's nice to meet you, and we're going to work together for a while." Li Dongxu bowed again, and held his elbow to shake her hand.
This set of etiquette and thoroughness makes the Beijing girl feel uncomfortable.
Yang Mi's English is not very good, or she is admitted to the acting department, and most of the cultural classes are quite average.
Fortunately, Li Dongxu carefully brought a Chinese translator, plus Zeng Jia knew English, and the communication between the two was quite simple.
Soon, Yang Mi entered the state, and Li Dongxu faced off with the script, exchanging views and mental journeys of the characters.
Although Yang Mi has been criticized in later generations, accusations such as rolling dramas, playing big names, and disrespecting work have emerged one after another.
But Yang Mi, who debuted as a child star and studied at Nortel Professional College, is still professional, and her level of performance is also very eye-catching when she is willing to pay seriously.
Even in South Korea, it is rare for Yang Mi to be such a young and professional TV drama actor.
It can only be said that anyone who can kill himself from the fiercely competitive entertainment industry has a few brushes.
The two communicated for an afternoon, basically sorted out the relationship between Wang Li and Sunny, and had a deeper understanding, Li Dongxu reluctantly said goodbye to Yang Mi, and made an appointment to continue the script tomorrow.
In this way, after the two of them reviewed the script for three days in a row, when the crew officially gathered for a script study meeting on the fourth day, they had a big show.
Whether it is director Song Yang, or Wu Yuan, who is ostensibly the male protagonist but is actually the emperor, they are all very satisfied with the understanding of the script shown by the two.
This shows that the two of them have really worked the study of the script!
"Yes, yes, Li Dongxu and Yang Mi's script understanding level is very high." Sitting down, Wu Yuan tilted his head and whispered to Liu Yifei: "This level of understanding is not inferior to the two of us." ”
You know, they didn't snuggle up in bed to "communicate deeply".
looked at Li Dongxu, who looked at Yang Mi from time to time and smiled a few times with some confusion, and Wu Yuan keenly caught something from their eyes.
"Something is wrong." He frowned.
It's just that now is not the time to think about these extraneous things.
"Okay, everyone's understanding of the script is very good."
Song Yang looked around the study room.
In addition to the three leading actors, Wu Yuan, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, most of the other supporting roles are local actors recruited from South Korea, and they are all golden supporting roles in South Korea's three major TV stations.
For example, the grandson who plays the president of the Liushi Group is Lee Donghae, a member of the Korean boy group Super Junior, who is now popular in Asia.
This is also part of the cooperation between Light and Shadow Times and tvN, and it is also a way to make this drama more acceptable to Koreans, who have always rejected outsiders.
When Netflix came, it had to use Korean actors and cooperate with local Korean production companies, and Wu Yuan didn't expect to enter the Korean market by relying on TV series of Chinese actors.
Rather than giving up one or two starring positions, Wu Yuan is more willing to give up most of the supporting roles to Korean actors.
This can make Korean audiences look familiar, and it has a more "local drama" feeling, a "Ghost" appeared more than a dozen actors, only 3 are Chinese, at least on the surface, the Korean content is very high!
"I've worked hard for all of you to study and discuss it in the past few days."
"Then, I declare that the study and discussion of 'Lonely and Brilliant Gods and Ghosts' are over!"
"Everyone will have a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will officially start shooting!" (End of chapter)
