Speaking of this, Chi Jingyuan became energetic. He has never filmed a TV series since filming "Reply 1997" last year.
Because of the popularity of "Reply" and the fact that his acting skills have been widely recognized and he has won many Newcomer Awards, many role offers have actually been sent to SM.
It's just that firstly, he was preparing a new album at that time and was very busy. Secondly, after reading many of the scripts, Chi Jingyuan felt that they were very ordinary and did not match up with some of the fragments in his memory, so he simply never acted.
His second play.
Because filming is really tiring, especially when there are other activities, Chi Jingyuan set himself the goal of "maximum one drama per year" when he was filming "Reply". Now 2013 has been
We’ve already walked more than half of the way, and it’s time to think about it.
At this moment, the news about Park Jae-hyun gave him some ideas.
"Inside" is a drama that SBS is very optimistic about internally. The main creative staff of the crew have already been decided. The director is Kang Shin-hyo, who has filmed the movie "The Old Man", and the screenwriter, you must have heard of it, is the famous screenwriter Kim Eun-sook.
."
Park Jae-hyun gave a brief introduction and mentioned the names of several crew members.
"Well... the lineup is indeed quite strong. Do you mean this is a new work by screenwriter Kim Eun-sook?"
Chi Jingyuan nodded, indicating that he had admired the name for a long time.
Kim Eun-sook is very famous in the Peninsula film and television industry, especially in the TV drama industry. She has written many famous and successful scripts, such as "Lovers in Paris" and "Secret Garden", which caused a lot of discussion and won awards last year.
There are quite a few famous dramas such as "A Gentleman's Dignity".
Since this time SBS's new work uses her new script, it will naturally be regarded as a key project of the TV station.
"Yes, I haven't received the specific script yet, but I have read the general plot. The tentative title of the drama is "The Heirs". The story is actually a bit old-fashioned. It is about a group of second-generation chaebols in the upper class of the peninsula.
A love story with an ordinary girl from school.”
"The heir and the second generation of the chaebol?"
"Hey, haha, what do you think? It suits you very well as soon as you hear it. It's a true performance."
Park Jae-hyun laughed loudly, and it was interesting to think about Chi Kyung-won playing the second generation of a chaebol.
"Hmm...how is the character selection going now?"
After listening to the introduction, Chi Jingyuan corresponded with the picture in his mind and felt a little moved.
"We have been preparing for this script for a long time. However, there were some mistakes during the casting process, and it has been delayed until now. It was originally scheduled to start filming at the end of August, but now judging from the progress, it is estimated that it will be delayed until September."
Park Jae-hyun knew a lot about it in advance and explained it skillfully: "The heroine has been confirmed to be Park Shin-hye. There are three male characters with more roles. The male lead is tentatively decided to be Lee Min Ho. The second and third male roles have not yet been determined. I heard that there is competition.
It’s very intense. After all, it’s writer Kim Eun-sook’s new drama.”
"If Jingyuan is willing, we can fight for the second or third male lead. There should be no problem. But I looked at the character settings and found that the second male lead is a villain and has some bullying plots.
It doesn’t suit your image very well.”
"It means that the person who is most suitable for me is the third male..."
Chi Jingyuan murmured, and then fell silent. Only faint breathing could be heard on the phone.
Park Jae-hyun knew that the other party was thinking and did not speak, waiting for Chi Jingyuan to make his own judgment.
After pouting and thinking for a while, Chi Jingyuan said: "Has Lee Min Ho confirmed to star?"
"The contract hasn't been signed yet, but it should be almost negotiated, and the crew is very optimistic about him." Park Jae-hyun hesitated and said.
"If I want to play the leading role, what do we need to do and what are the obstacles?"
Chi Jingyuan said directly after thinking about it for a while, his tone was calm and firm, and he seemed to have made a decision.
"…………"
Hearing Chi Jingyuan's tone, Park Jae-hyun immediately understood. He immediately entered his role without persuading him. After thinking for a while, he began to provide opinions:
"Jingyuan, your acting qualifications are much lower than those of Lee Min Ho. You only have the blessing of "Reply". However, qualifications are not the most important thing. The key point is to look at the internal network and connections. We at SBS TV have a lot of connections.
Guang, there should be no problem if you operate it there."
"Although you have less qualifications than him, your acting skills have been widely recognized. During this time, EXO has exploded, and your popularity will be valued by TV stations."
"Then at the agency level, the agency behind Lee Min Ho is Starhaus, which is not a big company. This is nothing. Whether it's 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. I heard that she was the one who named Lee Min Ho to play the leading role. The TV station is also very interested in writer Kim's opinion."
"Lee Min Ho was born in 1987, and the male protagonist is set to be 18 years old. There is a big age difference. If Writer Kim hadn't named him and supported him, he wouldn't have been confirmed to star so quickly."
"So if we want to squeeze him out, we can operate in other aspects. The problem now is to convince writer Kim Eun-sook."
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 for the leading actor position, it will not be a problem for the TV station, the agency or even the crew. The biggest obstacle now is
It's Kim Eun-sook.
Well-known writers have great power in the Peninsula crew. In this "Successor" crew, it can be said that the director can be changed at will, but the writer cannot. The current competition for roles in this drama is so fierce, which has a lot to do with her being the writer.
.
"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, which inevitably makes people think too much.
"I haven't heard any news about this, probably not. I guess it's just a matter of appreciation. Maybe Lee Min Ho's looks or acting skills are to her liking. It's said that Writer Kim has always been optimistic about him."
After reminiscing, Park Jae-hyun expressed his speculation.
"If that's the case, it's okay. Brother Jaehyun, it's decided. Now let's start with the goal of making me the male lead of this drama. First, get SBS's side done, and then let SBS convince Kim Eun-sook. This way
If you do that, you will get twice the result with half the effort.”
Chi Jingyuan tapped his fingers lightly on his thigh, as if playing the piano. After thinking for a while, he made a decision.
"Okay, I'll start contacting you now."
Park Jae-hyun nodded, and the two exchanged a few words before hanging up the phone.
"call……"
Chi Jingyuan took a breath and moved his right hand, thinking about what Park Jae-hyun said just now.
In fact, he is not very worried about the results of Park Jae-hyun's activities. If the TV station can be handled, even if the writer objects, it will not have much impact.
Unless Kim Eun-sook really appreciates Lee Min-ho to the point of losing her mind, is very tough, and would rather offend SBS than agree to change roles, then that is a different matter.
Chi Jingyuan doesn't want to be too strong, and they don't have to pay for the TV station. They must make some exchanges.
For Kim Eun-sook, he still hopes to focus on persuasion. Maybe after meeting him, she will stop caring about Lee Min-ho and start looking at and appreciating him, Ji Kyung-won?
He is actually quite confident about his personal charm.
"Children, pack up and get ready to go. Let's go have a meal first. We have a program to record in the evening."
"Inside."
At this time, the manager called out at the door of the lounge, and several members immediately responded, took their personal belongings, moved around, and followed the manager out.
