When Li Zhenyu returned to the casting room, all the characters were in place.
Popeye is still Lee Jung-jae, Ye Nicole is still Jun Ji-hyun, and Pepsi is Han So-hee. She needs an older makeup when filming.
Macau Park was replaced by Song Kang-ho. Some people may not be familiar with this name, but I believe they will have an impression of the father in "Parasite".
He has begun to show signs of becoming Bong Joon-ho's personal PD, and this future superstar in the entertainment industry has now become a reality.
However, Song Kanghao let "The Thieves" take away, so what should he do with his "Parasite"? Li Zhenyu was a little confused, as this was somewhat inconsistent with his plan.
"Wait, PD Bong, come to the side and talk for a while." Li Zhenyu called him aside, scratched his temples with his index finger and said, "I think we may be in trouble."
“???” Bong Joon-ho didn’t understand what he meant.
Song Kang-ho's acting skills and image are pure and vivid in showing the behavior and characteristics of small people.
Lee Jin-woo searched the list in his mind but couldn't find a candidate who could replace his performance in "Parasite".
Therefore, he had to snatch the love away from Bong Joon-ho.
“……” Upon learning that Song Kang-ho was the candidate for his new drama, Bong Joon-ho didn't know what to say for a moment.
In fact, Sol Kyung-gu was also the perfect candidate in his mind.
After reading the script, Bong Joon-ho went over all the characters in his mind.
Each character has a 'matching' target, and Macau Park's match is Song Kanghao.
"Junhao, you know this film will be sent to Cannes, Song Kanghaoxi needs this opportunity."
Li Zhenyu smiled playfully and asked him to do him a favor.
This was caused by my own mistake. I clearly said that I would delegate power, but I still stuffed two women into the team.
Now, without even notifying him in advance, she's trying to snatch away his most favored actor.
It was all his fault for not communicating well in advance.
Therefore, Li Zhenyu did not put on an attitude of "I am the boss and your father, you must listen to me."
Instead, he asked for his understanding and help in a friendly manner, and Bong Joon-ho really had nothing to say.
"Ani, Zhenyu, don't be like this. We don't need to be like this... Well, I'll leave Kanghao brother to you. I'll talk to him."
Bong Joon-ho immediately walked towards Song Kang-ho and went aside with him to explain the situation.
During this period, Song Kanghao frequently looked at him, and Li Zhenyu also smiled and nodded in a kind response.
"President, I have already talked to Brother Kang Hao."
"President Li, my name is Song Kanghao. Please take care of me!" Song Kanghao nodded, stretched out his arms and held his hand.
"Yes, you are the trump card I snatched from PD Feng. If you don't use it well, PD Feng will come after me."
Hearing him say this, Bong Joon-ho smiled bitterly and waved his hands: "I dare not be angry with our PD Li. I am still looking forward to getting more good works in the future. If I do that, my life will be ruined, right?"
"Hahaha..." The three men laughed loudly, each considering each other's interests.
With Song Kanghao joining, Li Zhenyu felt relieved.
In his mind, at least one-third of the success of "Parasite" is due to Song Kang-ho's performance.
With the script and Song Kang-ho's participation, the drama is already halfway to success.
The rest depends on whether CJ’s public relations and publicity can keep up.
In addition, when will the payment for "New World" be settled?
Attending a pre-filming get-together with Bong Joon-ho, Lee Jin-woo's humor and versatility left a deep impression on everyone.
At the same time, he also expanded his network in the entertainment industry.
In the future, Zy Entertainment will have the opportunity to use these connections, and he still has many scripts to shoot.
Li Zhenyu lives a comfortable life and all his projects are proceeding as planned.
SM's A-Man hasn't been having a good time lately.
Girls' Generation's recent experience has caused the company's management to worry, and the online and public evaluation surveys are not ideal.
In particular, the opinion survey of the fan club of fellow students showed that the plan to bundle Girls' Generation with TVXQ deviated greatly from the expected results.
Aman is not worried about this because in his opinion these are all temporary.
All dissatisfaction and contradictions will be resolved in the face of better results. At least for now Girls' Generation has succeeded and more people remember this name.
Girls' Generation, a new era created by girls.
This is his ambition...
What really bothers him is the power constraints and pressure within the company.
A-man saw the future of Girls' Generation, but others did not have the same vision as him.
Everyone is worried about whether Girls' Generation can really live up to the company's expectations and whether the huge investment of resources can get the expected returns.
You know, up to now, Girls' Generation has still not been able to create business value.
Money and the ability to do business are a good combination.
Otherwise, even if it burns to the sky, it will still be a pile of garbage.
The same goes in reverse...
As if he had thought of something, Aman strode out of the office and headed straight for the recording studio.
When I opened the door, I saw E-Tribe in the middle of a heated discussion. Their manager and assistant were standing against the wall, watching the scene helplessly.
As a famous creative duo in South Korea, E-Tribe rarely quarrels so fiercely.
"President."
"Hush~" Ah Man came to the two of them and asked, "Are there any results?"
The manager looked unhappy, not knowing how to respond, and the assistant, who was an SM employee, shook his head and told him the answer: "No, they were tripped."
What does it mean to be stuck? Soon, Aman understood what it meant. E-Tribe was indeed stuck.
Whenever the two had new inspiration, they would make samples and compare them with KCC to avoid infringement.
You will find the complete work on it, like a demo... a perfectly evolved version.
Yes, perfect, absolutely perfect.
But there is a problem, this song is not composed by them...
This is not the first time this has happened. E-Tribe has encountered this before when creating.
But this time it’s different, almost all the inspirations collide.
The big mountain blocking their way was called - lz.
A simple name without any aesthetic or fashion sense, but it was like a mountain with no peak in sight, blocking the way of the two people.
When A-Man came in, E-Tribe was debating whether to completely change their thinking and style.
Abandon the inherent style of the past, cut off all previous ideas and inspirations, and start again.
This was a difficult choice for E-Tribe and was the cause of the quarrel between the two.
But if they can get through this level, they will surely make new breakthroughs and achieve extraordinary results.
But for Aman, this was simply a matter of life and death.
He can wait, E-Tribe can wait, can Girls' Generation wait?
They can't wait, they want an excellent song that can serve as the title song right now, immediately.
"Can you do it?" Aman's face was gloomy, and his cold eyes were full of gloom.
E-Tribe looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly: "Sorry, President, we really tried our best."
This was not the answer Aman wanted to hear. Trying his best was not enough, and he didn't care whether the other party tried his best or not.
It is their job to get things done.
Two weeks ago, they told him in person that they would produce a work that would satisfy him.
Now, they say 'did you try?'
If they were his own artists, Aman would definitely ask them to go to the practice room, kneel facing the wall, and then beat them severely with a belt.
However, Aman knew that he needed their talents and needed them to provide excellent works for other artists in the company.
Most importantly, the current situation does not allow him to tear down his own corner.
Management is watching him, and too many people are unhappy with his little actions.
Due to internal and external troubles, Aman was physically and mentally exhausted.
He thought that his ambitious work would be the key to breaking the impasse, providing him with more bargaining chips and consolidating the power in his hands.
Now, Aman also began to doubt, is it too late for them?
…
"Oppa, Jun Ji-hyun is very enthusiastic about you!"
In the car, Han Suxi felt a little jealous.
At the previous dinner, that old woman wanted to stick herself to Oppa, what a shameless bitch.
"It's just out of necessity. She's not some naive little white rabbit." Li Zhenyu responded with a smile. He was very clear about the ambiguity between himself and Jun Ji-hyun.
"And... isn't it too much to call her Aji?" After all, the other person is still in her prime, and it is too rude to call her aunt.
"Oh, it's unnie." Han Suxi reluctantly changed the address.
Be good at utilizing your own advantages, and know how to protect yourself and stick to the bottom line.
She is not as carefree and heartless as she looks.
Looking back on their previous interactions, Li Zhenyu felt very happy from the beginning to the end.
But there was no actual sexual contact between the two.
It is indeed not easy for men or women to succeed on their own.
"Oppa, what about you? Do you like her?" Seeing him lost in thought, Han Suxi asked tentatively.
"Like it, don't like it... Let's not worry about it, Suxi. Have you memorized the lines?"
"Oppa~" Han Suxi hugged his arm coquettishly and leaned her head on his shoulder with her head messed up by him.
She didn't even get the script, how could she remember it?
Oppa is clearly teasing me, bad guy...
I like it so much! After watching Han Suxi get out of the elevator on the sixth floor, Li Zhenyu went straight to the office.
He just had a sudden inspiration and needed a quiet place to create.
After many "creations", Li Zhenyu has a correct understanding of the script.
Now, he wants to turn some memories about the future in his mind into reality in advance.
Black Mirror…Love, Death, and Robots…Life of Pi…
A good work that is both critically and commercially successful and can bring in huge traffic and profits in the Internet era.
No matter what, there is no reason to give up.
However, this is the first time I have created something on my own.
Li Zhenyu decided to write down the core content first and hand it over to the editorial department for discussion and improvement.
He knows exactly what the finished product will look like, so he doesn't have to worry about straying from the original.
Of course, if their perfect setting looked more interesting, he wouldn't mind making some minor changes.
After all, this is his work, so he has the final say.
"Ding~" the phone lights up.
Li Zhenyu pressed the intercom button, and Xia Zhuxi's voice came from inside: "President, SM President Li wants to talk to you, he is on the line..."
There is more in the afternoon, I will keep coding today~~~ (End of this chapter)
