Chapter 436: A person who is 3 years old still loves to joke (3/)
"Romantic Doctor Kim Season 2" is still on air.
The male lead, Kang Do-hwan, has already joined the crew of "Parasite" directed by Bong Joon-ho.
This work is an ambitious work of director Bong Joon-ho. He began to conceive the script as early as 2013, but the plan was shelved because the progress was not very smooth.
Last year, Bong Joon-ho picked up the script again and started writing it, and with the assistance of screenwriter Han Jin-won, he finally perfected the work.
When it came to selecting actors, he also screened out quite a few candidates.
The person he finally chose was Jiang Zhaohuan, whom he contacted personally.
Bong Joon-ho was actually quite hesitant about whether to use Kang Do-hwan. He was very famous in the circle and many directors wanted to use him, one because they valued his acting ability and the other because they coveted his commercial value.
As long as there are Kang Do-hwan's film and television works, there is no need to worry about not being able to get sponsorship, or even worrying about the box office.
At first, Bong Joon-ho was not optimistic that Kang Do-hwan could play the role of Kim Ki-woo well.
But in the process of archaeology, he unexpectedly discovered that the handsome Jiang Zhaohuan could actually rely on his acting skills to achieve the effect of changing the face of the drama.
Even his acting gives people a sense of immersion, and as you watch, you tend to ignore his extremely outstanding looks.
After hesitating for a long time, Bong Joon-ho contacted Luo Hongzhen and asked him to help connect him with Jiang Zhaohuan.
He was willing to give it a try for such an excellent actor.
Kang Do-hwan, who had no idea that the director valued him, came to Sublime Artist Agency with a completely bare face and without trying to hide the dark circles under his eyes.
This is the agency of Film Emperor Song Kang-ho. The fact that their first meeting was arranged here also shows the 16-year friendship between Film Emperor Song and Director Bong.
Led by the staff, Jiang Zhaohuan came to the door of the conference room on the third floor.
The door of the conference room was not closed. Park So-dam, who was facing the door, smiled and waved when she saw Do-hwan.
"Director nim, Kang Hao senior, my oppa is here~"
Hearing this, the two bosses turned around.
Jiang Zhaohuan hurriedly went through the necessary etiquette, bowed to the two people, and made an unnecessary self-introduction.
"Director-nim, Kang Hao-senpai, I'm from JYP Entertainment..."
"Don't we already know that you are Jiang Zhaohuan?"
Bong Joon-ho crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Song Kang-ho, whose smile was gradually disappearing, with an ambiguous tone.
"Brother Kang Hao, do we look like old antiques who don't use the Internet?"
Jiang Zhaohuan originally thought that this sentence was nothing, but when he saw Song Kanghao's increasingly gloomy face, alarm bells started ringing in his heart.
Seniors, don’t you care about your age? !
He swallowed hard and said awkwardly:
"Sorry Director Nim, I'm not..."
Song Kanghao's expressionless face changed after hearing these words. He couldn't hold back his smile, clapped his hands and said with emotion:
"Hahahaha we were just joking, Do Hwan you are such a pushover!"
"That's right, have you forgotten that our brother Kang Hao is an award-winning actor?"
When Song Kanghao heard his friend teasing him, he couldn't help but raise his foot and wanted to kick him. He said speechlessly:
"Ashi, don't call me that."
"Okay, okay, smile more and don't scare Do Hwan away."
Jiang Zhaohuan pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly. He didn't expect that these two seniors, who were a hundred years old in total, loved to joke so much.
He thought about the scene of his self-introduction just now, and felt that his behavior was a bit inappropriate.
Jiang Zhaohuan has been in the circle for quite some time, but his bad habits have never been corrected.
When I meet someone I don’t know, I can’t find any topics to start a conversation with.
Alas, it is indeed difficult to make the desired changes in personality.
Song Kanghao thought of Do Hwan's education background and said affectionately:
"By the way, Dohwan, you are from Yonsei University, right?" "Yes, senior."
"Then we are still in a senior-junior relationship, hahaha!"
Jiang Zhaohuan didn't expect that Song Kanghao would take the initiative to get closer to him, and the worry in his heart gradually settled down.
He was originally worried that there wouldn't be many people of his age in the crew and they would have little topics to talk about.
It seems that there is no big problem now, and the seniors are all easy to get along with.
After they chatted for a while, Park So-dam, who was of similar age, took him aside to get the coffee that Song Kang-ho had offered him.
Jiang Zhaohuan chose a glass of iced American coffee and his eyes fell on his senior Zhao Ruzhen who was not far away. He had to say that people from the Peninsula are really good at taking care of themselves. You can't tell that she is already 38 years old.
He looked away, feeling that this crew was really different from the previous ones.
There really are big guys everywhere, and I’m sure I’ll learn a lot of new acting skills.
Park So-dam noticed that Do-hwan's body was tense, which was obviously different from the time when he was filming "The Death of a Man".
She took a sip of the black tea latte and found that this slightly sweet coffee was more to her liking.
"Why do you look so nervous?"
"Huh? Is there any?"
"Yes. You don't feel pressured to act with seniors, do you?"
Jiang Zhaohuan shook his head. He didn't seem nervous, but a little excited.
The crews of previous shoots did not have so many senior actors. Thinking about being able to see the wonderful acting of the senior actors during the shoot, I hope that the shooting can start soon.
"Come to think of it, did you just call me Oppa?"
"Yeah, I never thought I'd be able to work with you again~ To be honest, I'm under a lot of pressure!"
"What pressure are you feeling?"
"Of course I'm stressed!"
Park So-dam looked at Do-hwan speechlessly and gestured randomly.
"Have you forgotten that I'm your nuna? But in the movie, I played your sister!"
Jiang Zhaohuan narrowed his eyes with interest and said with a smile:
"Ah~ But didn't you call me Oppa twice just now? I think you call me that quite smoothly."
"Hey, isn't it just to tease you that I screamed more easily?"
"It's okay, Noona, you'll get used to it if you keep yelling."
The two of them were chatting and laughing here, and soon it was time to shoot the final makeup poster.
Everyone got in the nanny car arranged by director Bong Joon-ho and rushed to the villa area for filming. The leading actors began to do simple makeup design directly in the living room.
The character played by Kang Do-hwan is called Kim Ki-woo, the eldest son of a family of unemployed people.
With the stylist's makeup, his skin is a little darker than before, but the rest of his appearance remains natural.
Because his skin is in good condition, director Bong Joon-ho asked the stylist to add a few more strokes and add a few freckles on his cheeks.
After finishing his makeup, Kang Do-hwan even stood with his back hunched to make the director smile with satisfaction.
The temperament and demeanor are just right, and the person I choose must not be wrong!
"OK, we're ready to start filming now. Everyone, please be careful not to appear in the reflection of the furniture!"
"Yes!"
