Hearing Jin Enshu's concern, Chi Jingyuan paused for a second to think, then shook his head: "I don't have any ideas yet..."
"No idea yet?"
Kim Eun-sook seemed a little surprised after hearing this: "Didn't I hear that after the success of "Goblin", the scripts sent to SM could fill the entire office?
"It's not that exaggerated..." Chi Jingyuan smiled modestly upon hearing this.
Although not that exaggerated.
But, actually, what this sister said is pretty much the same.
Kim Eun-sook is right. Since the explosion of "Goblin", Ji Kyung-won, who has reaped the biggest dividends, has jumped to the top status of the new generation of actors. In addition, with his excellent acting, he has a large number of fans and popularity, and he is well-liked by the audience.
He is also very good. He is loved by writers and TV stations. In all aspects, he is ranked at the top of all actors. At least in the field of TV dramas, there are not many male actors who are above him.
Even though her acting skills or qualifications may be better than him...but she is definitely not as expensive as him, nor is she as popular or as popular as him.
Moreover, Chi Jingyuan has never failed in a TV series since his debut, which makes people feel more reassured.
So before "Goblin" was over, he was already flooded with film and television offers to SM. There were dozens or hundreds of scripts for him to choose from, and he didn't know how long it would take just to read them from the beginning.
Some time ago, it was reported that employees of SM's film and television department boasted while drinking that Ji Kyung-won's film and television invitations filled an entire desk. If they could be distributed to others, all the scenes of the contracted actors in the entire company could not be filmed.
It's over' anecdote.
If YoonA senior saw Ji Kyung Won's film and television resources and invitations, he would probably jump to his feet with envy, and his heavy breathing would make his chest size increase.
"The script has indeed been received quite a lot, but..."
But in the last sentence he was still a little reserved, but in the next sentence his tone became helpless.
Thinking of the ones recommended to him by SM and the ones he had read himself, he picked up the soju in front of him and took a sip, sighing softly: "But I didn't find anything I liked."
He did receive a lot of invitations and scripts, but he couldn't find many that suited his liking.
Putting aside the success of the previous TV series, the results of "Goblin" this time are really good, almost breaking all relevant records of tvN and even cable TV stations. While Chi Jingyuan made a lot of money from bonuses, he also
It was framed to a certain extent.
If the next TV series cannot be better than "Goblin", or if it is worse, it will actually be a setback for him. If the results are much worse, the media and fans may just be disappointed.
Therefore, Chi Jingyuan’s next choice of script is actually quite difficult.
However, in Chi Jingyuan's eyes, the performance of "Goblin" is basically the pinnacle of the current Peninsula TV series. It is difficult for any other drama to surpass it in terms of ratings, popularity, influence, etc., or at most it will be on par with it.
Although "Goblin" has achieved unprecedented success, to some extent, Chi Jingyuan's TV drama career has suddenly reached a bumpy road, making it difficult to choose the next drama.
If we follow the general development path of TV drama actors on the Peninsula...after they have achieved good results in the field of TV dramas, they should start to develop in the direction of film actors. The status of film actors here on the Peninsula is still much higher than that of TV drama actors.
, and the image in the eyes of the people will be higher.
For example, YoonA senior, after several TV dramas were very successful, she also tried her best to squeeze into the film industry, and finally got the position of the heroine. The box office of "Co-Aid" she starred in at the beginning of the year exceeded 7 million, so count.
It was a very successful drama.
...After years of hard work, YoonA senior has become a minor celebrity.
Although until now, Chi Kyung-won has not had the honor to watch Yoona's wonderful performance in "Together", which is a little regretful.
It's just that although most Peninsula actors have developed in this way, Chi Jingyuan doesn't really want to repeat this route.
Among the many scripts I received, it was not just TV dramas, there were also some movie scripts.
But firstly, the cast and script are unsatisfactory, but more importantly, Chi Jingyuan actually doesn't have much ambition in the acting profession, unlike his predecessors who only focus on developing and studying.
Thanks to family factors, he can stand up and talk without pain in his back. He actually doesn't care whether he acts in movies or whether he gets promoted.
Unlike TV dramas, the production cycle of movies is very long. Putting aside the hard work of shooting, many crews are closed for several months as soon as they join the set. Unlike TV dramas, which can allow them to shoot for two days and run for two days, they are likely to have to do a lot of work before starting filming.
There are many special exercises for fitness, muscle building and even weight gain.
Once filming started, it was difficult to take care of my own idol career...
In the end... Chi Jingyuan's most important thing is his idol career. What really makes him willing to devote himself to hard work is the feeling of being surrounded by fans and cheering when he stands on the stage.
Moreover, the movie is actually more likely to fail. Once it fails, it will have a greater impact on his career.
"It's true... after "Goblin", your requirements for scripts will definitely increase. It's really difficult to choose."
Seeing Chi Jingyuan's expression, Jin Enshu understood. She nodded and raised her glass with understanding.
"That's right...and this year our group will focus on overseas activities and will probably not be on the peninsula for quite some time. So if I don't see a suitable case in the near future, I will probably take a break this year."
Chi Jingyuan also raised his glass and clinked it with this sister, and briefly talked about his current thoughts. Then he glanced at Li Yingfu, who was talking loudly and clearly drunk, and asked curiously: "Nana?"
Will you and Brother Ying Fu take some time off next, or will you directly prepare for a new drama?"
"The Queen Mother" and "Goblin" were two consecutive hits. Director Lee Eung-bok and writer Kim Eun-sook have already become popular in the industry, and many people are looking forward to their next works.
"The next drama has actually been planned, and we should still cooperate with PD Li and tvN. However, we are also preparing to take a break, so this project will only be preparatory this year, and the official filming will not start until next year... This is a story
The story of the war years..."
Jin Enshu told Chi Jingyuan the thoughts in her mind with great interest, but after talking for a while, she suddenly remembered something, looked at Chi Jingyuan and said with some embarrassment: "Because of the theme and setting
Relationship... the male protagonist of this drama may not be a good match for you, Jingyuan, so..."
Of course Chi Jingyuan knew what this sister meant, but he was not unhappy at all. Instead, he made a suggestion with a smile: "Listening to the story told by Noona, I feel that it should be more suitable for a mature actor with a brighter appearance. I
Just a little bit worse, and too young..."
As soon as he heard the outline of the story, he imagined that even though the male protagonist may not be that old, his image should be that of a relatively mature uncle... very similar to the original script of "Goblin" based on Gong Yoo.
Chi Jingyuan laughed a little in his heart
"Goblin" chose him and missed Gong Yoo. Although it was a great success, Kim Eun-sook still seems to be unable to restrain her desire to cooperate with a middle-aged handsome man~
However, Chi Jingyuan has no dissatisfaction. Jin Eunshu has taken good care of him and has given him a lot of support in several cooperations. Of course, you can't feel unhappy if they don't take care of you this time.
And he really has no interest in stories about the Peninsular War era.
"Haha..." Seeing Chi Jingyuan's attitude, Jin Eunshu breathed a sigh of relief and was also very satisfied. She adjusted her glasses and raised her glass: "If Jingyuan is interested, I will send the script to you when the time comes.
Here you go, take a look and if you think there is a good and suitable artist to star in, you can recommend it to me..."
As she said that, she glanced at Pei Xiuzhi, who was sitting next to Chi Jingyuan, and then winked playfully: "I'm quite satisfied with Xiuzhi this time..."
With this sister's eyesight, after working together for so long, she can certainly see the unusual relationship between Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi.
This speaks volumes about him...
"Haha, I still have to thank Noona for taking care of me."
Chi Jingyuan laughed loudly, without being shy, and drank a glass of wine with her generously.
The celebration banquet ended in such a lively manner, but the story of the drama "Ghosts" is still going on.
At least, they are expected to get back together again in "Baeksang" in a few months.
Just when the dinner was about to end and Chi Jingyuan was about to say goodbye to everyone, producer Yin Xialin found Chi Jingyuan.
Yin Xialin is one of the producers of "Goblin". He is from tvN. He has a lot of power in the crew, but he has a good personality and gets along well with Chi Jingyuan.
After exchanging pleasantries, he took the initiative and asked, "By the way, will Jingyuan be free in the next few days?"
"If brother comes to see me, of course he will squeeze it out even if he doesn't have time." Chi Jingyuan first smiled and said politely, and then asked curiously: "What is it?"
Yin Xialin didn't go around in circles and directly explained the purpose of his visit: "Someone asked me to make an appointment with you to talk about work matters."
"Are you someone from TV drama production?"
"That's right." He nodded: "You should know about Netflix... I am one of the people in charge of Netflix on Peninsula. If I come to you, it must be about TV dramas."
"Naifei..."
Chi Jingyuan muttered the name, and when Yin Xialin introduced it, he agreed after thinking about it for a while: "Then next week, I'll call my brother then."
"OK, let's put it this way~" Chi Jingyuan's attitude made Yin Xialin feel very happy. He made a gesture and then patted Chi Jingyuan's shoulder enthusiastically. He picked up two glasses of wine from nowhere and started talking again.
Had a drink.
…………
After the celebration banquet, everyone said goodbye to each other and left one after another.
However, although Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi did not communicate in advance and had no eye contact, a few minutes after they left, they appeared in the parking lot next to them with a tacit understanding.
Compared to the bustle of the restaurant, the parking lot seems extremely quiet and deserted.
The two of them were walking together. Pei Xiuzhi's white shirt had already been covered with a coat, but her big curly hair was still hanging charmingly behind her. She was still smelling of drinks, barbecue, cigarettes and even perfume left over from the meal just now.
Wait for the mixed taste.
This smell, which cannot be said to be pleasant, seems to have undergone a wonderful reaction and started to ferment under the influence of alcohol. At this time, it has an ambiguous meaning that is inexplicable.
"I didn't feel it before, but after this celebration party, I feel like "Goblin" has really come to an end."
The two of them walked side by side from the parking lot. Thinking of what happened just now, Pei Xiuzhi, who was still blushing, suddenly felt a little emotional.
"Well..." Chi Jingyuan nodded lightly as he could understand her feelings.
"By the way, you have been really popular these past two days. News about you is everywhere on the Internet." Pei Xiuzhi thought of something and suddenly looked over with a strange look in her eyes: "Especially that house, tsk tsk... I said why don't you
Are you willing to come to my house? It turns out that the place you live in is so nice, so no wonder you despise my shabby little apartment."
"And the last time you went to my house, you boasted about its large size and well-decorated house. Now that I think about it, you must have been saying something sarcastic."
I don’t know if the drunkenness made Pei Xiuzhi let go of some of her normal maturity. At this time, she pouted and frowned dissatisfied, looking like a child complaining: "Why are you so hypocritical?"
However, Chi Jingyuan did not tolerate her and retorted directly: "Did you take the wrong medicine? It's just a variety show and a house. How can you think of so many things?"
"Hmph~"
The woman hummed lightly and didn't bother. After taking two steps, she paused for a moment, then stood still and turned to look at him: "That's right."
"The celebratory trip I had been looking forward to for a long time suddenly disappeared. I was thinking about surfing with you before... Do you want to make up for it?"
Bae Suzy was talking about the "Goblin" crew's celebration trip. Chi Kyung-won told her before that she should go, and it seemed that she had really been looking forward to it for a long time. But now it was suddenly canceled, and she was probably a little unhappy.
"Hmm"
Chi Jingyuan pondered for a second, but did not refuse: "What do you want?"
"..."
Facing his inquiry, Pei Xiuzhi just shook her head and looked at him with a smile without saying anything.
Seeing her curved eyes, blushing face, slightly pursed lips, and a hint of expectation in her eyes, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but smile and raised an eyebrow: "Why, do you want me to give you the villa in LA?"
you?"
"I don't want to..."
Pei Xiuzhi smiled, stretched out her index finger and shook it, and looked at her with rippling eyes:
