Time flies so fast, s.l company's three ambitious plans, TV series, variety shows and concerts are also in full swing. The remaining framework of the company plus some of the new members recruited are deployed under the command of Lin Chengxun.
All the resources of the company were used to prepare the preliminary preparations as quickly as possible.
The carnival concert is coming soon, and the tickets have been sold out through online ticket sales and other methods; the recording of the variety show is approaching, and all aspects have been agreed upon, just waiting for all the second-generation girl group members to be in place; the original script of the TV series has also been revised many times, and the actors have been updated
It was directly designated by Lin Chengxun. As soon as the carnival concert was over, Lin Chengxun took some time off and went straight into filming.
This morning, in the conference room of S.L Company.
The TV series "Castle in the Sky" is produced by producer Han Re, director Lim Sung-hoon, screenwriter Lee Yoo-jin, Kim Eun-hee, the Hong sisters, etc., plus more than a dozen actors from four families, including Lian Surprise, Kim Seo-hyung, Oh Na-ra, Son Ye-jin, etc.
, everyone is here.
According to Lin Chengxun's suggestion, three photographers were arranged in the conference room to record the script reading process and conduct a simple interview as future information and promotional highlights to be prepared.
"Castle in the Sky" is undoubtedly a landmark work in the history of Korean dramas. It is different from the nostalgic and warm theme of "Reply 1988". It uses a fictional "Castle in the Sky" castle, which can be said to directly reflect the
Educational issues in East Asia as a whole.
Through the exaggerated expression of Jin Zhuying, the tutor in the TV series "Castle in the Sky", the disadvantages of exam-oriented education are discussed in depth.
Of course, at this stage when the TV series has not yet been released, or even started filming, and is just reading the script, not many people will define this "Castle in the Sky" as a landmark work.
The ratings closely follow the idea of the hit drama "Reply 1988".
After all, this TV series has Son Ye-jin, who has not appeared in a TV series for a long time, joined the cast, the director is still Lim Sung-hoon, and the screenwriter is a screenwriting team composed of several top writers in the peninsula screenwriting industry.
"Castle in the Sky" has a total of 20 episodes, which is not too long. However, for publicity reasons, Lim Sung-hoon hopes to officially broadcast it after the Peninsula Entrance Examination this year with the topic of the entrance examination, so time is still quite tight. Before the entrance examination, you must
Having completed the first five episodes including post-editing, soundtrack, reshooting and other matters, jtbc can relax.
Problems with the script caused Lin Chengxun's chin to grow a circle of green stubble again. His expression was serious, "The first script reading of "Castle in the Sky" begins!"
"First of all, let me introduce to you the four important family members in the TV series "Castle in the Sky"."
"The first family, which is also the most important family in the drama, is the family of Kang Junsang and Han Shuzhen, who are responsible for the plot of the TV series, as well as the couple's two daughters, Jiang Yerui, Jiang Yibin, and Jiang Junsang's illegitimate daughter, Kim Hyena; below
I would like to invite the actors from this family, Yeom Jung Ah, Jung Jun Ho, and Kim So Hyun... to introduce themselves to everyone."
"...Barabara..."
"The second family is the family of Cha Min Hyuk, Noh Seong Hye, an eldest daughter and twin sons. If you have carefully read the script of the TV series, you should also know that this family can be called a pyramid family, and it can be regarded as the comedy of this TV series; then please
Han Ye-seul, Yuri, Yeo Jin-goo and Yook Sung-jae... please introduce yourselves."
"..."
"The third family, the other funny person in the TV series, Wu Nalaxi, your husband is not here, so you can help him and your son introduce yourself."
"The fourth family, the ones who caused the conflict in the TV series are Lee Soo-rim, Hwang Ji-young, Hwang Woo-woo's family, and Son Ye-jinxi. You can start introducing yourself..."
"Finally, Kim Joo-young and Kim Seo-hyung, the most crucial characters in "Castle in the Sky", come on."
After everyone in the script reading meeting had introduced themselves, Lin Chengxun glanced at the faces of these people, and it could be clearly seen that there were still class divisions among them. From the background of idols such as Yuri and Yook Singjae,
People like Kim So-hyun and Yeo Jin-goo who are actors, and Son Ye-jin, the Best Actress winner, is simply outstanding among this group of people.
Speaking of Son Ye-jin, Lim Sung-hoon couldn't help but glance at Han Ye-seul and idiot Yuri. Han Ye-seul applied through the agency and was auditioned by Lim Sung-hoon before she was allowed to join the crew. Son Ye-jin, on the other hand, hooked up with the idiot after Han Ye-seul's introduction.
role, and finally joined the cast of "Castle in the Sky".
To be honest, Son Ye-jin's overall image is more suitable for filming idol dramas. After all, the first impression of Peninsula people on her is that of a national goddess first, and then an actress.
Moreover, the character that Son Ye-jin was interested in at the beginning was not Lee Soo-rim, one of the few characters with shining points of humanity in "Castle in the Sky", but Noh Seong-hye, an orange with different plots before and after, that is, Han Ye-seul's character, whom idiots call
The character who plays the character's mother.
Regarding this, Lim Sung-hoon had no choice but to think to himself that they really knew how to play, and at the same time, he tried to reason with Son Ye-jin to accept the role of Lee Soo-rim.
After introducing himself, Lin Chengxun began to lead several speakers to talk about the extended background of their characters that were not shown in "Castle in the Sky", the images they each represented, and what kind of intentions he had for this character.
Lee Soo-rim is a writer, her husband and wife are loving, and their son is filial and sensible. It was through a series of investigations that she revealed the face of Kim Joo-young, the devil tutor, to everyone.
Han Shuzhen, whose real name is Guo Meixiang, is the daughter of a butcher and an alcoholic. In order to conceal her origins, she made up the identity of a banking family and changed her name. Her biggest wish is for her daughter to be admitted to Seoul Medical University with the first place in the entrance examination;
Lu Chenghui, from a military family, is one of the few parents in the Castle in the Sky who does not regard the academic performance of their children as the only one;
The last one, Chen Zhenxi, has a young son and has no direct competitive relationship with the children of other families. Before Han Shuzhen's true background was exposed, she became Han Shuzhen's little follower for her husband's position in the hospital; then Han Shuzhen's background was exposed, and she could not
I have avoided a change in my mentality. In fact, my personality is quite lovable. I am a little bit fourth-dimensional, talk nonsense, and do nothing.
"I've given you a rough overview of the plot, and "Castle in the Sky" is still some time away from its official launch, but" Lin Chengxun stood up, clapped his hands and said, "I hope you can move into Castle in the Sky now."
The scene was noisy, and no one understood what Lin Chengxun meant by moving into the Sky City. If the crew actually built a Sky City castle as they understood, it would be really big news.
"Everyone is right. S.L Company has been preparing for this TV series "Castle in the Sky" for a long time. I decided to shoot it all in real locations, so I really built the Castle in the Sky, and what I hope is
From now until the official filming of "Castle in the Sky" begins, everyone can live in the Castle in the Sky castle provided by me in the form of the four families in the TV series."
Did s.l Company really build the Castle in the Sky in the TV series?
Everyone smacked their tongues, saying in their hearts that Lin Chengxun was really rich.
"So, today's script reading meeting here in the conference room is just the beginning. The specific reading process that will follow will be placed directly in the Sky City Castle. It is regarded as an advance preview. Of course, everyone can also understand it as the last one.
In the audition, during today's script reading, if someone's performance failed three or four times, then I can only say I'm sorry."
As soon as Lin Chengxun said this, everyone's hearts were lifted, especially those who were idols and those who applied through their own companies instead of being invited by Lin Chengxun himself.
Among the few remaining people, only Son Ye-jin looked indifferent, and even gave the idiot a wink quietly, as if she could shield the idiot.
But the idiot was different. He didn't notice the color Son Ye-jin gave him at all. Instead, he looked at Lin Sung-hoon pitifully with a dull expression that he couldn't accept this reality.
No matter how much Hua talked, he could not act realistically. Without any delay, Lin Chengxun directly led one of the protagonists of "Castle in the Sky" in the conference room to take the company bus to the location of "Castle in the Sky".
That is the area of Ping An Restaurant.
The m1 trendy brand was so avalanche that the land prepared for it was completely useless. Lin Chengxun was too lazy to discuss with some merchants about settling in, and simply pulled it into the residential area, and simply prepared "Sky of the Sky" at that time.
"City" planning problem, so we asked a designer to design a "City in the Sky".
Naturally, it is impossible to lose money. After the filming of the TV series is completed, even if you don't plan to use it to live in, with the bonus of the TV series, these European-style buildings are very popular in the eyes of the peninsula people.
The first thing to rehearse is the content of the first episode of "Castle in the Sky", which is when Yingcai is admitted to Seoul Medical University. In order to help her daughter get Yingcai's study notes, Han Shuzhen, played by Yeom Jung Ah, celebrates Yingcai's admission to the medical university.
Name, held a banquet in the Sky City.
When three families make their debut, they still have to clarify the meaning of "Castle in the Sky", so the content of the first episode of "Castle in the Sky" is extremely difficult to arrange.
Talking about "Castle in the Sky", the s, k, and y respectively represent the setting of Seoul National University, Yonsei University and Korea University, the three major universities in Seoul. The straightforward narrative method must be boring, and it is just what this Castle in the Sky represents.
The setting of a castle where the top 0.1% of the upper class live on the top of a peninsula can easily give the audience the feeling of playing house or a fairy tale.
So just for the script of this first episode, Lin Chengxun specially found Li Youzhen, Kim Eunsook, Kim Eunxi, and the Hong sisters, the top screenwriters of the peninsula pyramid. Everyone wrote the script of the first episode and wrote six scripts.
A version was created, and then the six people met to discuss and decide on a final script.
...
"Start, let's walk through it twice first."
The work started directly on the scene, and there was no need to take the camera to walk through it. It was just a simulation. Lin Chengxun was watching from the side, and the actors acted by themselves. It was slightly better than performing without real objects.
The idiot stood alone in the distance and stretched his neck to look. He looked very Muggle, because there was nothing about her in the first episode.
Han Ye-seul also had no role in the first episode. She wandered around the scene for a while and found that the idiot was alone in a daze. She wanted to move forward, but was blocked by the crowd, so she moved forward and said: "
Yuli, what are you doing?"
The idiot smiled awkwardly, not embarrassed to say that he wanted to go to Lin Chengxun's place and listen to his explanation while observing. Before, Yoona and Hyoyeon were treated like this when they were filming on Lin Chengxun's crew, but now...
"You feel that you are sorry for director Lim Sung-hoon, so you don't even dare to get close to him?"
The idiot nodded hesitantly. In her slow thinking, Han Ye-seul and Son Ye-jin were among the few close friends she had in Girls' Generation.
"Idiot, you just think too much. I think Director Lin Chengxun is not as cold as you imagined when you were young, and..."
Just as Han Yeseul wanted to comfort the idiot, a cold voice suddenly came out from behind.
"Stop! What are you acting?"
Han Yeseul and Idiot looked at each other. Their first reactions were very strange. Most of the actors in the TV series "Castle in the Sky" are more powerful than famous, whether it is Kim Seohyung who plays Kim Joo Young.
Well, this is also true for the rest of Lian Jingya, Wu Nala and others. These people belong to most actors in the peninsula. They are very low-key on weekdays. After filming, Xiang Jin Ruiheng enriches himself at home, while Wu Nala and others
I chose to perform a stage play on Daxuelu to enrich my performance experience, so that I wouldn't be stopped by Lin Chengxun so seriously before five minutes.
The problem lies precisely in the three words "stage play".
But Lin Chengxun looked serious, stood up and said to Lian Jingya and Wu Nala: "Although "Castle in the Sky" has some European opera colors in terms of name and architectural style, in fact it is
It is a TV series with realistic themes. The dialogues and actions of the characters are close to reality and logical. It does not require a strong stage play style like the ones in the show. The performance just now was all about the language, expressions, movements, and the range of expressions of the characters.
It’s too big. If we were performing a stage play now, I would give the warmest applause to these segmented performances, but are we performing a stage play now?”
"I ask that your dialogue should be restrained from the exaggerated performance methods on stage plays, and should be adapted to daily life. Will you be able to use your accent when talking to your neighbors in real life? Do you want me to give you some music?"
Wu Nala was obviously frightened, her momentum weakened, and she apologized harmlessly. In fact, there was something wrong with her performance just now. When talking to Lian Jingya on the phone, she actually used a stage play accent, as if she was pinching her hand.
What's inside is not a cell phone but a microphone.
The atmosphere at the scene became serious, and after Lin Chengxun's reminder, it started again. This time it was much better. Although it had not yet achieved the effect Lin Chengxun wanted, it was no longer as awkward as before.
(I woke up in the morning and finished reading "Castle in the Sky". I finished it until dark. There should be another chapter, but it will be a little later. Let's read it tomorrow morning.)
