After a while, Lin Zhixiu led Quan Kishang into the VIP room, and Zhang Chengyuan was already standing at the door waiting to greet him. After greeting each other, Jang Sung-won asked: "Director Quan, what do you want from me?" Jang Sung-won still has great respect for this director who once took good care of him and helped him become the Best New Actor at the Baeksang Arts Awards. . Quan Kishang said jokingly: "You didn't even wait for me to take a sip of coffee, and you immediately asked me why I was here. Are you too busy to chat with me, an uncle who is aging prematurely?" Although it's not yet He is fifty, but he looks quite old, so he often laughs at himself that he is aging before he gets old. Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said: "Of course not, director, you are still so funny." A person's temper usually changes with time and place, and also varies from person to person. In front of Zhang Chengyuan, Quan Jishang could joke easily, but when faced with This may not be the case with other actors. I have to say that he is quite partial to Zhang Chengyuan. At this time, Lin Zhixiu came in holding a tray with a cup of latte, a cup of tea and several small plates of snacks. After placing the coffee in front of Quan Kishang, the tea in front of Zhang Chengyuan, and the snacks in the middle of the table, she bowed and retreated. Jeon Ki-sang was slightly surprised and asked: "Isn't this beautiful woman the president of this store? How can she serve us personally? Could it be that you are very familiar with Sung-won?" When filming "Heroes Chunhyang", Lin Ji-soo was not Jang Sung-won's assistant, Jeon Ki-sang, doesn't pay much attention to the people around the artist, so naturally he doesn't know Lim Ji-soo. Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said: "She is indeed very familiar. She is an alumnus of my university and she has been my assistant for a while, and I invested in this coffee shop." If you check these information casually, you will know that there is nothing to hide. Jeon Ki-sang: "So you are her boss. No wonder she was a little in awe of you just now. Huh? Your university alumnus? Could it be that she is also a student of Seoul National University? But how can a student of Seoul National University be your assistant?" Zhang Chengyuan said: "Her family was in a bit of trouble and she owed me some debt, so she worked for me to pay off the debt. However, I felt that it was not suitable for her to be my assistant as a woman, so I invested in opening this cafe and asked her to work for me. Management, she also studied marketing management, so she is suitable to run this coffee shop." Although not a word was a lie, after his words were modified, it was far from the truth, and it sounded like he was affectionate. righteous. Quan Kishang took a sip of coffee and said: "You are very affectionate and loyal! Have you fallen in love with her? She looks pretty good, and her appearance and education are a good match for you." Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "No This is happening! Well, although I don¡¯t know what will happen in the future, at least I haven¡¯t fallen in love with her yet.¡± Seeing that Quan Jishang didn¡¯t believe it, Zhang Chengyuan said a few more words. Hearing what he said, although Quan Kishang was a little surprised that Zhang Chengyuan actually looked down on such an outstanding woman as Lin Jixiu, he also believed Zhang Chengyuan's words. After eating a few bites of snacks, Quan Kishang wiped his mouth and started to talk about the business: "I am currently preparing a new TV series. I invite you to come out this time to see if you are interested in playing the role of this male actor." No. 1." Zhang Chengyuan had already guessed this possibility and was not surprised. "When will this drama be released?" "It is expected to premiere on December 14th. It is a drama on SBS TV. The time is tight. One thing, I am currently filming "Taeling Contestant Village" and it will probably take another week to finish. I wonder if it will affect the filming progress of this TV series?" Zhang Chengyuan said hesitantly. Quan Kishang said indifferently: "I don't know your filming status and shooting speed yet, so even if you join the crew a few days later, it's not a big deal. I can still afford this time, and besides, I can still go first Filming other actors' scenes." Zhang Chengyuan continued to ask: "Which production company is it?" "DSP Company!" When he heard the name, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't calm down: "Director Quan, how could you? Working with them, "Clover" failed miserably in the ratings at the beginning of the year, and after just a few episodes, they replaced the then director Jang Yong-woo. "Remembering that Lee Hyori almost failed due to "Clover", Jang Sung-won expressed his disapproval of Lee Hyori to star in this TV series. I don't have a good impression of DSP Company, although the four sisters used to say that the president of DSP Company takes good care of them. Quan Kishang said: "Don't worry, they can't replace me. I believe the TV series I produced will never be that bad. Besides, if you, the "guarantor of ratings", participate in the show, how could I fail?" Zhang Chengyuan shook his head. He smiled and said: "What guarantee of ratings? It's just what the media said casually. Why are you kidding me about this? Director, can you let me read the script first?" Quan Kishang said: "?It¡¯s a reasonable thing! I brought the script. Please read it carefully. You should be able to read it in two hours, right? " He took out the script from his office bag and handed it to Zhang Chengyuan. Quan Kisang also knew Zhang Chengyuan's ability at a glance. However, the two-hour waiting time was not bearable. It seems that Quan Kisang was really sincere in inviting Zhang Chengyuan this time. Zhang Chengyuan thanked him without being polite, and took the script and started reading it. Because he didn¡¯t want to keep Quan Jishang waiting, he read it faster this time, only reading the outline, the main plot, and all the details about the male protagonist. After reading it, I felt that the plot was quite interesting and the characters were quite fleshed out and likable, so I immediately had the initial idea of ??taking the role. In addition, Zhang Chengyuan also noticed that the style and writing of the script had a familiar feeling. After about half an hour, Zhang Chengyuan closed the script, nodded and praised: "It's pretty good! " Quan Jishang said in surprise: "I finished reading it so quickly! "He also planned to use these two hours to think about some preparations before shooting. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chengyuan finished reading it in such a short time. Zhang Chengyuan said: "Of course it is impossible to read it all, I just looked at the plot and related details. The plot of the male lead. Director, is this script written by two writers, Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran? Quan Jishan nodded and said, "You have good eyesight. I deliberately concealed the names of the two sisters. I didn't expect you to recognize them." " Zhang Chengyuan felt strange and asked: "Why do you do this? " Quan Kisang said: "There are always some people in this world who always look down on newcomers. If they see that the script is not written by a famous writer, they will refuse to star in the drama without even reading it. Of course, I'm not talking about you. You are different from them. You have long known the Hong sisters' ability to write scripts. In order to attract some outstanding actors to join the new drama, I had no choice but to make this decision. I hope that they and their agency can read the script before making a decision. ¡± Although the Hong sisters have gained a little fame with "Chunhyang", they are still underestimated. People in the industry generally believe that they just got lucky and met people such as Jeon Ki-sang, Jang Seong-won, Han Chae-young, etc., rather than that they are real. What kind of strong ability. Zhang Chengyuan continued his words: "After they read it and think the script is very good, even if they know that the writer of the script is not very famous, they will not say no easily. " Quan Jishang nodded and said: "You know this business quite well. " Zhang Chengyuan smiled bitterly and said: "I am also a newcomer. I went for interviews many times before and was rejected without even showing my face. Isn't this the case in every industry? " Quan Jishang nodded in agreement and suddenly asked: "Have you thought about it now? " Zhang Chengyuan said: "I was moved after reading the script, but I also want to ask one last question, who will play the heroine? "In order to maintain the title of "Guarantee of Ratings" that he had just won for two days, Zhang Chengyuan had to be more cautious, because the key to the success or failure of this drama lies in the female lead. If the female lead does not perform well, , no matter how good his acting is, it¡¯s all in vain. ¡°You should know this female lead, Lee Da Hae, the winner of this year¡¯s Baeksang Arts Awards Best New Female Actor. " "It turned out to be her? "How could Jang Sung-won not recognize Lee Da-hae? On the day of this year's Baeksang Arts Awards, Kim Tae-hee was a little unhappy because he stared at her too many times and persuaded him to respect himself. However, he teased Kim Tae-hee and ended up being beaten. Kim Tae Hee kicked her hard. After all, the cause of the matter was Li Dahae's good looks and temperament. How could Zhang Chengyuan forget her? "Li Dahae?" I met her once. She has a good image, and she won the Newcomer Award, and her acting skills must be very good. However, I heard that she is better at playing tragic roles. I wonder if she can play this person who loves to lie and deceive people well. The character Joo Yoo-ryung who is lively, cute, kind and beautiful? " Quan Kishang glared at Zhang Chengyuan, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Why are you such a mother-in-law? Are you the director or am I the director? Why are you caring about my affairs? If it weren't for you, I would pack up and leave immediately! "The director's status is far higher than that of the actor. It is very rude for an actor to ask about the director's affairs. Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Director, I am just a little curious. I definitely don't want to interfere with your work. In fact, I have already decided I am going to play the role of Seol Gong Chan. " Quan Kisang said: "I know your concerns, don't worry, I have already interviewed Lee Dahae. Although her acting skills cannot be compared with you, a 'drama madman', she is definitely qualified for the role of 'cute female liar Joo Yoo Ryung' of this role. " Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said: "Since the female lead has already been interviewed, should I, the male lead, also be interviewed?Time for an interview? " Quan Jishang said: "Go! Don't waste my time. I have to rush back to prepare for the shooting. How can I have time to interview you? Ask your agent Park Byung-yeol to come to DSP tomorrow to discuss the contract! ¡± How much time does a simple interview actually take? It¡¯s just that Jeon Ki-sang has great trust in Jang Sung-won¡¯s acting skills and feels that there is no need for an interview at all. After all, the role of Seol Gong-chan is not very complicated or difficult, and he can play it with Jang Sung-won¡¯s acting skills. This role is definitely more than enough. Zhang Chengyuan said happily: "Thank you very much, director!" "It is also a good thing for him to be able to save boring auditions. In this conversation, neither party mentioned salary. Firstly, it was not something they could decide. Secondly, Zhang Chengyuan and Park Byungyeol never thought about it. Making a lot of money by filming TV series is more about gaining popularity, and then relying on high popularity to obtain high advertising endorsement fees, so the price will never be increased. Thirdly, Zhang Chengyuan's popularity and acting skills are extremely outstanding, and the production company has already hired Zhang Chengyuan. I'm so lucky. I can't be stingy about remuneration. With these three reasons, I can be sure that tomorrow's contract negotiation will go smoothly. Maybe it can be signed on the spot. After the matter is settled, Quan Jishang won't want to sit down anymore. He was very busy as the filming of the drama was about to begin. If he were not afraid that others would not be able to hire Jang Seung-yuan, he would not have taken the time to sincerely invite Jang Sung-yuan to participate in the TV series "My Girl". At that moment, Jang Sung-yuan stood up and sent Jeon Ki-sang away. .
