ps: Thanks to ybetter, troubleface and Flying Dante for their recommendation votes, I immediately gained a lot of motivation.
Lin Chengxun was dressed in an extremely casual outfit with short sleeves and beach shorts, attracting the attention of many people in the cafe.
He crossed his two long legs and held a cup of iced coffee in his hand. Whether it was the waiters coming and going in the cafe or the pedestrians walking in a hurry outside the glass windows, they couldn't help but take a few furtive glances and then frown slightly.
The coffee culture was once very popular on the peninsula, and it became even more popular after the TV series "The First Shop of Coffee Prince". It seemed that coffee shops were a particularly high-end place.
Most people like to talk and chat here because they always feel a high-level sense of accomplishment.
The person Lin Chengxun wanted to meet today generally had the same idea, but he obviously did not expect that Lin Chengxun would be such a maverick, or that he was so thick-skinned that he ignored all the looks that were directed at him.
No matter what other people look at you, short-sleeved beach shorts are perfect for such a hot weather.
Lin Chengxun thought this in his heart. He pressed the five fingers of his right hand on the thin script on the coffee table and tapped it rhythmically. His mind drifted back to the meeting with Gong Jiyoung that day.
A few days ago.
"What are your thoughts on the actors in the movie?"
"I have a lot of ideas. Even if I were given a few carriages on Zhongwu Road, I would dare to use them. It's just that I don't have that much face and others won't want to come." Lin Chengxun said with a wry smile.
If it were possible, who wouldn't want to use the best actor and best actress? However, Lin Sung-hoon himself has no reputation or qualifications, and he doesn't have enough money to spend. In addition, he offended the screenwriter two years ago, which resulted in the fear of the Screenwriters Association. He can't afford to hire actors, but he doesn't dare to take on roles rashly among those he can afford, so now he really has very few choices.
As for the original protagonists of "The Crucible" movie, Kong Yoo, Jung Ok-mi and others, not to mention that the movie was filmed nearly seven years in advance, their acting skills lacked time to accumulate. Whether they can perform that kind of Kang In-ho, even if I want to contact him now, Lim Sung-hoon has no idea. Available relationship lines.
"What about idols? How about idols? If this group is enabled, the screenwriters will not stop it but will be happy to see its success. Moreover, they themselves want to break out of the idol circle and climb up. They may even star in zero-pay roles, which can save a lot of money. Most of the money."
Just as Jin Huicheng put forward his suggestion, he saw Kong Jiyong and Lin Chengxun shaking their heads to reject it at the same time.
"Although my movie has its own traffic because it is adapted from a real event, and the acting requirements are not very high, but the movie is a movie, not an idol drama. If idols are used, even if the acting skills are barely qualified, the innate skills will be good. It gives the audience an unserious look, which is very inconsistent with the theme of the movie "The Crucible". Therefore, leaving aside child actors for now, the actor's acting skills must be recognized by the public."
"How about Cha Moo Hyuk? He should really want to go into the film industry." Xu Shuali made an opinion while watching the TV series on the TV, but his original intention was to liven up the heavy atmosphere.
You must know that this "Cha Moo Hyuk" won the Best Male Acting Award in the TV category of the Baeksang Arts Awards last year. Even if he is eager to climb into the film industry, he will not be short of scripts...
Wait, Cha Moo Hyuk?
Lin Chengxun rubbed his temples and tried hard to turn over the memories, his expression relaxed, and the smile on his lips became bigger and bigger.
End of memories
"Is this Lin Chengxunxi? Hello."
Lin Chengxun smiled and nodded, stood up and bowed slightly to shake hands with the slender man in front of him, "I am Lin Chengxun, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me, So Ji-sub xi."
So Ji-sub, also known as Cha Moo-hyuk in the words of Heo Shuali that day. His original name is So Ji-sub, but he won the Baeksang Arts Awards for the Best Acting Actor in the TV category for his role as Cha Moo-hyuk in the TV series "I'm Sorry, I Love You."
So now there are very few people who can call him by his name, and most of them call him Cha Wuhyuk.
So Ji-sub is very popular now. He can't worry about the hot weather when he goes out now. He can only wear a mask, sunglasses and a beret. His dress attracts more attention than Lin Sung-hoon, so it is no longer suitable for the two of them to talk about things in their current position. Lin Sung-hoon
I asked the waiter for a private room, and half led the way and half shielded So Ji Sub's eyes to get to the closed private room.
"Lin Chengxunxi, although I am honored to receive your movie script, you may not know much about my situation. Although I have a lot of free time now, I am preparing to serve in the army at the beginning of next year, so this movie script of yours belongs to me.
..”
As soon as Su Ji Sub entered the box, he didn't even take off his sunglasses, mask, or hat. He just endured the heat and bowed to apologize to Lin Sung Hoon. It seemed that he planned to explain the situation straight to the point and leave immediately. And to put it bluntly, he could go there in person this time.
This is already a big favor for the middleman Gong Ji Young. After all, with So Ji Sub's current popularity, there will be no shortage of scripts even if he wants to make a movie, and the director is rumored to have offended the Screenwriters Guild.
If you don't go to serve next year, I won't look for you anymore.
Lin Chengxun was amused in his heart. He waved his hand to interrupt Su Ji Sub's refusal. He enthusiastically motioned for Su Ji Sub to sit down and drink a cup of iced coffee first, and then handed him his script: "Let's take a look at the script first. Even if Su Ji Sub Xi can't star in my movie, but
Since you are here today, you might as well give me some advice."
So Ji-sub sat down hesitantly and was almost forced by Lin Sung-hoon's passionate gaze to pick up the "The Crucible" script.
He was a little helpless, because he himself was not very good at rejecting others. In the past, it was his agent who dealt with these issues. He always chose scripts, took over filming, rested and exercised, going back and forth, rarely dealing with interpersonal relationships.
The script Lim Sung-hoon gave Su Ji-sub was very thin, just the outline of the plot and the thought process of the male protagonist Kang In-ho, etc., so Su Ji-sub read it very quickly. The incident at the Xzhou School for the Deaf and Mute was indeed shocking, and the "Melting Pot" script adapted from it was also
It can touch the softest part of people's hearts.
"This script is very good. If I hadn't been serving in the military..."
"So Ji-sub's popularity is really booming now, and the role of Cha Moo-hyuk really has nothing to say." Lin Sung-hoon interrupted Su Ji-sub's complete rejection, and instead made an inexplicable remark, which made Su Ji-sub very confused, but after a while, he
He immediately said: "So, So Ji-sub, Xi, have you ever thought about how many people will remember Cha Moo-hyuk after the two-year service period is over? Maybe there are die-hard fans, but I believe that most of the fans will still remember Cha Moo-hyuk.
Actors tend to be forgetful after a two-year hiatus, what do you think, So Ji-sub xi?"
Su Ji-sub was silent. He naturally understood what Lin Chengxun meant. Just as Lin Chengxun said, serving in the military is an issue that male artists in the Peninsula cannot avoid. Especially after the Liu Chengjun incident two years ago, the public
Pay more attention to the issue of artists' service.
Therefore, So Ji-sub made up his mind after discussing with the company to serve immediately after he got the popular role of Cha Moo-hyuk, so that the character can have a reverberation after the service is over, so that he will not be completely forgotten and his popularity will not fall.
Valley bottom.
"So Ji-sub xi and Cha Moo-hyuk may be forgotten, but Kang In-ho will definitely not. I believe you know it after reading the script. As long as the movie is successful, let alone two years, even ten years, the audience will not forget it.
The man named Kang In-ho in the movie "The Melting Pot"."
Seeing So Ji-sub's hesitant expression, Lim Sung-hoon immediately pursued the victory.
"Lin Chengxunxi, please allow me to contact my agent."
"no problem."
Lin Chengxun's index finger clasped heavily on the table, and the smile spread from the corner of his mouth.
