Chapter 169 Who is up? (Part 2)

On the afternoon of the last day of June, in a medium-sized conference room of Ube Company, Park Ji-yeon and Bae Su-ji stood side by side on the central podium in front of them. Although the professional training of Idio1 made them not at a loss, they were obviously a little confused.?

In the back row of the conference room, the two IOD1's respective presidents, namely, the president of M Entertainment Brokerage Company, Kim Kwang-soo and the president of JYP Entertainment Brokerage Company, Park Jin-young, are also sitting side by side. Beside and behind them are the artist management office directors, agents, and assistants of their respective companies... In short, there are more than a dozen people on both sides. At first glance, they are quite imposing, but everyone's expressions are dull and wandering around, and they don't know what they are here for.

As for the core part of the conference room, which is the first row, there were only three people sitting, and they all wore black-framed glasses. It was much more stylish than the group behind... Uh, the three were Kim Jong-ming, the director of UB's new movie "Introduction to Architecture", screenwriter Lee Yong-joo, and Bong Joon-ho, who seemed to have nothing to do with this movie because he had not worked for a long time and was even a little lucky. At this moment, the other two of the three were also sluggish in their expressions. Only Bong Joon-ho, the top Korean director, sat in the middle of the first row with confidence, dancing and judging his head, and I don't know what he was saying.

Well, this is the casting scene of the movie "Introduction to Architecture". It is said that it is casting, but in fact there are only two candidates, Suji and Jiyeon, and the selected roles are only one of the four protagonists.

By the way, in this movie, the time spans fifteen years. In order to reflect the changes in people and the perpetuality of architecture, Kim Jong-ming and Lee Yong-chook unanimously decided to have the same lover. Fifteen years ago, when they were in their first love in their freshman year, they played the role of two actors, and fifteen years later, they are now selected to play the role of another pair of actors.

At this moment, the role Jiyeon and Suzy compete for is the heroine who was in her first love in her freshman year.

As for... why there are two people, the reason is very simple. Each of them has an extremely strong supporter behind them. Among them, the original screenwriter of the movie, Lee Yong-chung, fell in love with Bae Su-ji at first sight; while Kim Jong-ming, as a director and investor, took a fancy to Park Ji-yeon at first sight when he was doing variety shows.

The situation of director and original author, screenwriter and investor is the stalemate scene that a movie fears the most! You know, the movie "Follower" was because of the huge differences in the plot of the original author, Jiang Cao, and the screenwriter and J, which led to the classic movie in which Cha Tae Hyun and Ha Ji-won joined forces, which was forced to be shelved for several years before it was released!

Therefore, in order not to affect the filming of the movie, as the connective between Lee Yong-joo and Kim Jong-ming, Bong Joon-ho was helplessly pulled over to take charge of the "decision"! He had agreed before coming that Bong Joon-ho said that he was who he said, and the other two promised to accept it unconditionally.

"You guys go down and wait!"

Seeing that Bong Joon-ho was talking about what kind of techniques and gradually talking about acting, Kim Jong-ming finally had a vivid expression on his face and drove the dinosaurs and rabbits off the stage, saving the two of them from suffering again.

"I see it!" Seeing the two Iido1s bow and leave, Bong Joon-ho commented without hesitation. "These two Iido1s have zero acting skills! Of course, the so-called first love movies rely largely on their own immatureness. Acting skills may not be useful, they need a feeling of youthfulness and simplicity. So, if you hope that I can decide who is more suitable from them, it is better to throw it away with a 50 won coin! I have... Who guesses the front and who guesses the negative?"

Kim Jong-ming and Lee Yong-joo looked at each other, but didn't say anything, but stared at Bong Joon-ho again.

"Okay, I'll analyze it again." Bong Joon-ho was stared at by these two gazes and reluctantly put away the coins and began to take it seriously. "First, this kind of work re-interpretation. Speaking of the script, Yong Zhou was born to study architecture. Many of the details were experienced or seen by him personally. The plot context was designed to a certain extent based on the image of the goddess in his mind. This beauty has continuity and vitality. So from this perspective, if you choose an actor who matches the image of the goddess in the eyes of the screenwriter, it will undoubtedly be more appropriate to the plot!"

Li Yongzhou nodded repeatedly, and Kim Jong-ming also nodded, because the other party's reason is indeed reasonable. Actors who are close to the prototype are more likely to get closer to the plot, or perhaps closer to the plot, which no one can deny.

"Of course." Bong Joon-ho continued to point out the reasons that are beneficial to Ji Yeon. "When an actor's acting skills are almost zero, the role of her partner is crucial, because in the movie, this partner needs to completely revolve around the newcomer and assume the acting responsibility of the other party that originally belonged to the other party. As the saying goes, "You can't lead the way" means that. So from this perspective, choosing an actress who is more recognized by the male lead will achieve twice the result with half the effort in the filming!"

Jin Zhongming and Li Yongzhou nodded again.

Now, Bong Joon-ho finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, the mud was finally harmonious. Both sides recognized that their comments were one aspect, and both sides took care of them. Another aspect... If this movie was not for the thread that he was holding on to him, he would never have put his energy on the mud!

"What do you think of Zhong Ming?" Li Yongzhou finally turned his head and met Jin Zhong Ming directly.

"I agree with director Bong Joon-ho's point of view." Kim Jong-ming responded as usual. "So... it's better to let that male actor come here and see which one he agrees more. If he doesn't care or Suzy is more suitable, then we just..."

"Wait a minute!" Bong Junhao suddenly reacted. "It's not Zhong Ming, you are accusing of this... one of these two children?"

"When did I say I want to play the young male lead?" Kim Jong-ming asked in confusion. "Have you said it?"

"It's like this Junhao." Li Yongzhou explained it next to him. "We discussed this for a long time. At first, Zhong Ming hesitated whether to play the male lead in the 'Uncle' version. After all, he had successfully created the image of a young first love boy in "Those Years", so there was no need to repeat it. In the past two years, he had no problem with the control of the character's age in the two movies "Uncle" and "The Furnace". Challenging this role was actually a confident breakthrough for him..."

"Oh!" Bong Junhao held his head with a headache. He thought he was proud and mixed feelings, but he was actually unconditionally biased towards Li Yongzhou. The mixed feelings were simply a mess!

"No matter what." Lee Yong-joo ignored Bong Joon-ho for the time being, but continued to discuss with Kim Jong-ming. "You have been praising that male actor. I have never seen him once. It's better to take this opportunity to take a look!"

Jin Zhongming immediately turned around and waved his hand to the back, and Su Xiaoya immediately walked over with knowledge.

"Call Bae Yong-jun." Kim Jong-ming ordered. "Just say I, Director Lee Yong-joo, and Director Bong Joon-ho are all waiting, so let him bring people here quickly!"

Su Xiaoya immediately nodded and went out.

"That's what it means..." Seeing Su Xiaoya leave, Bong Joon-ho quickly changed the subject with a little embarrassed. "Jong Ming, your partner in the movie, has any flaws?"

Kim Jong-ming looked at Lee Yong-joo and then looked at Bong Joon-ho: "When it comes to this... I was actually a little hesitant about the two candidates. At first, I fell in love with Han Jiaren, but suddenly I had a new idea these two days, and I thought of another actor...Director Bong and Director Lee should help me make a judgment?"

Han Jiaren and another actor, Bong Joon-ho instantly felt that he had shot himself in the foot again, but this time he obviously had no worries about debt: "Then let's talk about it!"

In the back row of the conference room, Kim Kwang-soo and Park Jin-young, who had been dull, had some obvious changes in their expressions, but one became gloomy and the other became relaxed.

Of course, Kim Kwang-soo became gloomy. For him, this matter was so frustrating from beginning to end. Although Kim Kwang-soo had suffered insults before in the office, he had done his own thing... After all, after working hard within J for more than ten years, he could see the situation clearly. It was the same thing that others gave faces, and you would have no choice if you didn't give faces... But I was inevitably angry, and therefore I became more determined to win this movie.

Then, when it comes to the matter itself, the three alternatives of Girls' Generation were directly driven away, although it was a very satisfying thing for Kim Kwang-soo, but the sudden appearance of Bae Su-ji really made him feel nonsense. What kind of immortal is this?

Tremlining, Bae Soo-joo is very popular, but she only acted in a TV series. Why was she completely caught by the screenwriter at first glance? There is such a benefit to having two rabbit teeth? Isn’t this a typical example of Cheng Yaojin appearing on the way? And now, listening to Bong Joon-ho’s talk in front, he brought the general direction of the candidate to Bae Soo-joo. Thinking about the insult he had received before, the three words of unwillingness made Kim Kwang-soo put on his face.

However, this matter is very different for Park Jin-young around him.

You know, Park Gangxing was actually a little worried at the beginning. Although Suji was her new daughter after Min Xianyi, she was indeed excited to have such a good opportunity from the sky. If she really could become the heroine, the benefits would naturally be even greater...

But then again, Kim Jong-ming stood on the opposite side of Suzy this time. So, it was good to get the role, but it would be a bit worth it if he had a knot with Kim Jong-ming! So, although he came here with Suzy because he was willing to believe in Kim Jong-ming's professional ethics, Park Gorgeoush was indeed a little unstable at the beginning... What if the two people in front really had an unhappy fuss about Soo-ji and had Bong Joon-ho's face and couldn't turn against each other, then Kim Jong-ming turned around and settled the accounts on himself, vented his anger on Suzy, and learned from the wave of S.M company before, a prosecutor raided Jyp... what could he do?

But now it’s different. No worries are gone, because Bong Joon-ho, the top Korean director, pushed the trend to Suzy, and the actor who came soon made the final decision... In any case, if Suzy is really selected in the end, even Kim Jong-ming will have no reason to have any objections to him, right?!

"Han Ga-ren and Kim Tae-hee..." When the two presidents behind were different, Bong Joon-ho in front was really fooled this time. "The two best vases in South Korea... One is rich in film experience but has not made movies for seven years, one is rarely involved in movies but has never left the public eye; one is married but is pure and charming, the other is not in love but is more feminine; one is more in line with the atmosphere of the movie, and the other is naturally commercial appeal; one is even the number one sister of the company (Lee Byung-hun Company) in which you hold a stake in, and the other is your senior sister of the same school, who is not even as favorable as possible... How do you ask us to choose for you?"

Li Yongzhou also nodded repeatedly: "This is really something that can only be thrown into coins... Let's say that, I actually have no objection to anyone, Zhong Ming, please watch it yourself!"

"Then bring it!" Kim Jong-ming suddenly stretched out his hand to Bong Joon-ho.

"What?" Bong Joon-ho didn't understand why.

"The coin you just now." Jin Zhongming responded calmly.

Bong Joon-ho was speechless, but he actually took out the fifty won coins just now.

Kim Jong-ming took the coin, threw it casually, and then slapped it on his arm: "The front... is Kim Tae-hee!"

It would be fine if Lee Yong-joo was not on this, but Bong Joon-ho looked at this scene in a daze, but he always felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while... He just said with certainty that everyone was the same, wasn't he himself? Kim Tae-hee was the best!

"Sister Xiaoya!" Kim Jong-ming got up and greeted behind him. "Let Senior Kim Tae-hee come here too... Today, taking advantage of this opportunity, the four leading actors, directors and screenwriters will meet together!"

Su Xiaoya, who had just arrived in, immediately turned around and went out.

Now, Kim Kwang-soo's face became even more serious, and Park Gorgeous was even more happy. Although they didn't understand movies, the criteria for judging some things were still some concepts. Kim Jong-ming and Kim Tae-hee were indeed big productions! So they valued this movie more! When they thought that their side was the backward (leading) side, their expressions naturally became more vivid.

The first one to arrive was the male actor who played the freshman year, led by Bae Yong-joon. As soon as he came in, the young actor took the initiative to greet the people sitting aside, including Ji Yeon and Suzy, who were smiling and saying hello to them. Because of the TV series "Dreamhigh", they actually knew each other. However, this male actor was obviously more familiar with Suzy who participated together, and was just because of Eun-jeong.

"Come on, Soo Hyun!" Kim Jong-ming, who was sitting in front, stood up and smiled and greeted him, catching the other party from the door, otherwise Kim Kwang-soo and Park Gorgeoush would not know how long they would pull others to say. "I will introduce to you director Bong Joon-ho and director Lee Yong-joo!"

Kim Soo-hyun ran over before he could greet the people here. For him, ten thousand Kim Kwang-soo or Park Jin-young was not as important as one Bong Joon-ho.

"How is it?" After the greetings, Kim Jong-ming held Kim Soo-hyun's shoulder intimately and asked Bong Joon-ho. "I have a good vision? Senior Bae Yong-joon is a senior student, a professional, has excellent acting skills, a good image, and was born in the same year and month as me. However, Senior Bae Yong-joon has always regarded him as a treasure and did not dare to make him go wrong, so he seemed to start a little slower. But it doesn't matter. At first, he was one of the protagonists of the group portrait of the TV series, and then one of the protagonists of the group portrait in this movie. Then in the first half of next year, he will be the protagonist of a TV series. In the future, you can try to carry a movie alone!"

Lee Yong-joo and Bong Joon-ho looked at each other, then nodded together.

"And..." Kim Jong-ming suddenly hugged Kim Soo-hyun, who was slightly uncomfortable, and walked onto the podium, and then stood side by side. "Did you notice? Our heights are almost flush..."

Li Yongzhou couldn't help but slap him. That's true. Although the movie requires a sense of wind erosion of time, so different actors need to be selected, they are the same person after all. If some characteristics can be maintained, the effect will naturally be better.

"And the eyebrows are very similar!" Bae Yongjun couldn't help but interrupt. "They are all the same thick eyebrows! In fact, the more I received the call from Zhong Ming, the more I thought about it, the better it was Soo Hyun's chance... He and Zhong Ming were very similar to each other to some extent, with figure and eyebrows... Both of them actually had the appearance of both a teenager and a man, which seemed more beneficial when acting. At that time, through makeup, they deliberately highlighted the feeling of Soo Hyun's boy, and in turn highlighted the maturity of Zhong Ming like a man... It was simply perfect!"

Li Yong-joo and Bong-ho nodded again. Everyone was an expert, so naturally he knew what Bae Yong-joon said was true.

"Indeed, it's simply." Lee Yong-joo and Bong Joon-ho both thought this candidate was great, but maybe Lee Yong-joo was used to being Bong Joon-ho's deputy, and Bong Joon-ho always spoke. "And Zhong Ming said that he had excellent acting skills, it's not a false statement... In this case, I will definitely be able to bring Idio1, right?"

"Of course." Kim Jong-ming responded to Kim Soo-hyun without hesitation. "So-hyun's previous starring "Dreamhigh" almost brought up seven or eight ido-1s by himself! He is absolutely fine with this!"

"That's perfect." Li Yong-joo finally couldn't help but draw a conclusion. " Speaking of this... Soo-hyun, right? The two actresses over there..."

Halfway through the words, the door of the conference room was pushed open again. National goddess Kim Tae-hee walked in with her bag curiously. Seeing Park Jin-young and others in front of her, Bong Joon-ho and others in the distance, she quickly lowered her head to say hello... Kim Tae-hee's status is beyond words, especially when most of the people in the room were men, everyone hurriedly said hello. The little dinosaur and Bae Tuzi had to bounce off the chair from the beginning, and then ran over and bowed their heads to say hello.

The scene was a little messy for a while.

At this moment, Bong Junhao and Li Yongzhou suddenly felt something strange when they looked at the situation at the door, but they still couldn't tell what was strange about it for a while.

Kim Tae-hee is worthy of being a national goddess. Although the scene is chaotic, she can distinguish between order and priorities, and soon called him one by one. The poor Bae Rabbit and the little dinosaur naturally have to end up dealing with it because of their age and seniority.

However, when Kim Tae-hee finally came to Ji Yeon, she suddenly smiled and grabbed the other person's hand: "I didn't expect that... I always said that you are Little Kim Tae-hee. I felt angry before... But today I really had the opportunity to play the same person, but I felt it was amazing. Looking at your face and eyes without any wrinkles, it reminded me of my freshman year. At that time... in a blink of an eye, it has been ten years..."

The audience suddenly became quiet, but many people felt that their minds were buzzing back... As expected, one was unstained, pure and charming, and the other was exquisite and friendly, full of charm. But this is not the key, the key is that these two faces are really like the same person who has been apart for ten years!

Lee Yong-joo was confused, but finally couldn't help but walk forward a few steps, then lifted up his black-framed glasses, stared at Park Ji-yeon and Kim Tae-hee carefully. Bong Joon-ho couldn't help but look back at Kim Jong-ming's pocket and glanced at him. By the way, Kim Jong-ming took away his fifty won and he never returned it... This hand is so beautiful!

Kim Jong-ming stared at Li Yong-joo and observed carefully for a few seconds, then suddenly walked forward two steps and smiled at Kim Tae-hee in the distance, saying, "But... Senior sister, have you noticed? You are a few centimeters shorter than Ji-yeon. In this case, Ji-yeon can only wear flat shoes when filming, and you have to try to wear thick-soled shoes... Is it okay?"

"Of course!" Kim Tae-hee, who was holding the little dinosaur's cheek, looked up and smiled slightly. "I am really looking forward to this movie now..."
