Chapter 158 How the Little People Deal with Things (Please subscribe, please vote!!!)
Is "Seven Days of Heartbeat" already so popular?
Not only Starship Entertainment, but even JYP's President Park Jin-young took the initiative to extend an olive branch of goodwill?
impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Li Yang denied it. He drank his wine, with a hint of doubt in his slightly lowered eyes.
Park Jin-young definitely has an agenda, but we don't know what it is.
But soon, he found out.
"I heard that the second season of 'The Rich Son-in-law' is about to start filming, but the female lead has not been chosen yet?"
As if inadvertently, Park Jin-young asked curiously.
"Yes, there was some trouble in casting the heroine."
Li Yang looked over, and at the same time he understood something, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you have a goal.
What is most worrying is the benefits that come without reason.
After all, in this world, free things are often the most expensive.
"I have a friend in the SBS broadcasting department who mentioned earlier that your director Gao Xixie seems to have offended someone, so he may be in a difficult situation now."
Park Jin-young showed a kind expression and explained, "But don't get me wrong, I'm not being sarcastic, I just think that Jong-kook's friends are my friends."
After saying this, he paused and smiled kindly, "As everyone knows, JYP Entertainment only has an idol department!"
"Really? Thank you so much. I'll have a drink first!"
Li Yang was overjoyed. He stood up to toast and drank the whole glass. He said, "Everyone here is my friend. I won't hide my feelings. I have been in an awkward situation in casting recently. Because the other party is the child of a famous director, most companies have to give him some face."
Then, he said gratefully: "But fortunately, with Brother Zhenying's presence this time, the difficulties are really solved.!!!"
"I actually agree with Jong Kook's idea. The entertainment industry is just a circle. We all live in this circle. Sooner or later, we will need each other's help." Park Jin Young's eyes lit up and he talked freely.
He seemed to have really become a person who came to the rescue in times of need.
Soon, he said, "As for the choice of the heroine, I personally still recommend it."
"But I remember that you, Li Yang, are very familiar with YG's Kim Jisoo. If it really doesn't work, given your relationship, it should be no problem to invite her to play the female lead for one season, right?" Kim Jong Kook put down his wine glass, as if he didn't hear Park Jin Young's words, and asked curiously.
"Are you still very familiar with Jisoo?" Park Jin-young was slightly stunned, and the alcohol in his eyes seemed to have dissipated a little.
"we are very good friends."
Li Yang laughed dryly, "But Ji Soo did mention coming over to help, but I refused."
"why?"
HAHA was surprised and said, "BP is the most popular girl group in Kpop now. Just having Kim Ji-soo's name appear in your character list can make you a lot of money. Why would you refuse such a good thing?"
"Because her image is somewhat different from Han Youwei's. Jisoo is too pretty and has a gentler face, lacking some of Han Youwei's arrogance and sharpness."
Li Yang seemed a little embarrassed in front of the big shot, but still explained: "Although my drama "The Rich Son-in-law" is only a web drama, I personally feel that both the casting and the filming should be done as close to the standards as possible. This is a responsibility for me, the audience and the actors."
Then he raised his glass and said, "Of course, this is just my humble opinion as a newcomer, it may be a little embarrassing."
"No, I think you're right."
Park Jin-young took the initiative to apologize and said, "As a screenwriter, it is a good thing to be responsible for the actors and the drama. There is nothing to be ashamed of. It was me who just took it for granted."
"How could that be? You are a senior."
“A new generation replaces the old”
After a brief conversation, the atmosphere seemed to become even more heated, and everyone seemed to have forgotten about the incident. Until the end of the drinking party, Li Yang, under the influence of drunkenness, said with a smile: "Brother Zhenying, if I go to JYP for a casting, I won't be kicked out by the security guards, right?"
"Don't worry, as long as it's the role you choose, I guarantee that there won't be any trouble on the company's side."
JYP put his arm around Li Yang's neck and enthusiastically talked about some ideas for web dramas. Finally, before leaving, he kindly reminded him, "Next time you come to JYP, don't forget to bring your idol card contract with you."
Then he said with a smile: "I am old now, it is very troublesome for me to make a trip for such a small matter."
"Brother, don't worry."
On the road, Li Yang staggered and said: "Next time I go to JYP, even if I don't go, I will get the contract!" As he said that, he burped, waved goodbye, and got into a taxi.
Park Jin-young waved his hand, and the few of them returned to the barbecue restaurant.
Although a few of them were a little drunk, it was not as drunk as before, and their eyes were clear.
"I just said this little brother has a good personality!"
Kim Jong Kook poured a cup of tea for Park Jin Young and praised him at the same time.
"Sure enough, any scriptwriter who is slightly famous in the Peninsula should not be underestimated!"
Park Jin-young said with some emotion: "If it wasn't for Jong Kook's reminder, I wouldn't have known that he had this relationship with YG."
Perhaps because Li Yang was very humble, for a while, he was really a little arrogant and treated Li Yang as a newcomer who could be instructed at will.
If it weren't for Kim Jong Kook's timely reminder, this alone could have led to a possible fallout.
after all
On the Peninsula, the screenwriters of the Broadcasting Writers Association are notoriously arrogant, especially when it comes to scripts. Even directors and investors are not allowed to interfere in the slightest.
Park Jin-young is very clear about this. Even though he is the president of an entertainment company, when it comes to creation, these stubborn guys will not give him any face at all.
"Brother, you have to know that 'The Chaebol Son-in-law' is only his first drama in the industry, but he has already become famous. It is very likely that he will write a better drama than 'The Chaebol Son-in-law' in the future."
Kim Jong Kook laughed and said, "People like this will rise sooner or later, so I think even if we don't have to be too humble, we still need to at least show some respect."
"I understand this very well."
Park Jin-young seemed to remember something and couldn't help but complain: "You don't know those people in the Broadcasting Writers Association, their noses are almost pouting to the sky!"
Broadcasting Writers Guild!
This association has a huge threshold, requiring at least five film and television works to be eligible for entry. It now has more than 5000 members, covering almost all screenwriters on the peninsula.
If you want to become a formal member, you are required to have at least one annual championship movie or Korean drama to be eligible.
In addition, the Peninsula has a natural respect for such creators.
It can be said that every formal member of the Broadcasting Writers Association stands at the top of the pyramid in the Korean entertainment industry.
Even if you are an ordinary member, you are naturally at the top of this pyramid.
For new writers like Li Yang, whose first drama has already caused a certain degree of discussion, becoming a member of the Broadcasting Screenwriters Association is almost a foregone conclusion.
Of course, given Park Jin-young's status, he would not lower himself to flatter a new screenwriter.
What they are investing in is nothing more than Li Yang's future.
Although "The Son-in-Law" has gained some fame, it is not enough to make JYP lower its status.
"But it seems that SM got a bargain this time."
Park Jin-young couldn't help but say: "If this happened at JYP"
The more he thought about it, the hotter his heart became.
Let’s forget about the Idol Card thing.
Li Yang has a huge traffic pool, but he has also completed the transformation from an Internet celebrity to a screenwriter.
At this moment, even if Lee Soo Man was sitting opposite him, he couldn't help but curse, what kind of shitty luck is this!
"Maybe there will be a chance?" Kim Jong Kook said meaningfully from the side.
"What do you mean?" Park Jin Young looked over.
"I heard that SM's attitude towards him is not very good!" Kim Jong Kook picked up a piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth, smiling slowly.
Two hours later, in the brightly lit living room, Li Yang, who had just finished taking a shower, sat on the sofa and called Kim Jong Kook.
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that the crew seemed to be short of an actor for a minor role. I remember that you have a niece, right?"
"Can I perform? Thank you so much!"
Li Yang put down his phone, called Gao Xixie again, and asked him to search for information about JYP artists in advance before going to bed.
Just because I had fun chatting with JYP doesn’t mean he would just randomly choose the role.
Respect is respect, but he will not casually choose a role just because of the so-called contact.
That's not cheating the audience, but cheating yourself!
The moon sets and the sun rises. The next day, the last day of "Seven Days of Heartbeat" arrives.
