"..."
After listening to the words of senior Cui Chengjun, Jin Eunshu was a little silent. She quietly drank a few sips of the coffee that had been placed in front of her but had not been touched. Her pupils swayed slightly from side to side, and she seemed to be thinking and weighing in some tangles.
After the other party said so much, she compared it herself and found that Chi Jingyuan seemed to be more suitable than Lee Min Ho, whether it was age or other aspects.
Especially the identity of 'successor' that Cui Chengjun named at the end made her a little surprised and her heart skipped a beat.
This is not to say that this can be used as a gimmick for external publicity. The situation of hatred against the rich in Peninsula is still quite serious. Using this as the main propaganda point can easily cause counter-effects. Neither the TV station nor SM, nor even Chi Jingyuan, will agree.
I can mention it appropriately, but I can’t say it in detail.
What's exciting is that Kim Eun-sook is really interested in improving the script by understanding each other's lives, and she also really wants to see what kind of sparks will erupt when reality and the two heirs in the drama are blended together.
However, she is indeed half a fan of Lee Min Ho. The crew is about to be formed, but the person she admires so much has to be replaced, which is emotionally unacceptable...
"Has SBS made a decision?"
After thinking about it for a while, Jin Enshu sighed, raised her head and asked.
"The opinions have almost been unified, but a formal decision has not been made yet. After all, the station still values your opinions very much..."
Cui Chengjun shook his head, with a 'you are very important' expression, and continued: "That's why the station sent me to persuade you. If you have no objection, I will contact SM after I return."
"Sigh... your TV station makes the decision, I'm just a screenwriter."
Jin Enshu sighed, her tone not very clear.
However, Cui Chengjun knew his junior friend very well, and knew that she actually had no objections. She was just a bit unhappy about her face, so he immediately flattered her with a smile: "Don't say that, if the screenwriter can do Eun-sook's level, even if it's a TV station, I will also take it very seriously, otherwise I wouldn’t be here to persuade you, right?"
"Lee Min Ho's side..."
After taking a sip of coffee, Jin Enshu's expression had completely recovered, and she asked after a slight hesitation.
"Don't worry, we'll tell them. Neither I nor the agency will have any objections."
Cui Chengjun waved his hand casually and said easily: "This kind of thing is too common, they will understand."
He is right. The Peninsula entertainment industry is only so big, and there are only so many major TV series on major TV stations every year. The competition for the main roles in each TV series is very fierce, and the agency needs to use various resources and connections to compete. As long as Before the contract is signed, anything can happen, and this kind of temporary change of roles is not uncommon.
"..."
Jin Eunshu didn't speak, but nodded slightly to agree.
"Then it's settled. After I go back, I will officially initiate an invitation with SM. The selection of other actors will also be carried out as soon as possible. If you have any candidates and opinions, Eun-sook, you can contact me."
"This drama has been delayed for a long time due to some unexpected things. The crew will start preparations immediately after the lead role is confirmed. After all, the station has arranged for "The Successor" to take over "The Master's Sun". Time It’s already very stressful.”
After the matter was settled, Cui Chengjun seemed to be a lot more relaxed. After chatting for a few more words, he was ready to stand up and say goodbye.
"senior……"
After Cui Chengjun stood up, Jin Eunshu suddenly said: "I want to meet Chi Jingyuan."
"Haha, no problem, I'll contact you." Cui Chengjun was stunned for a second after hearing this, and suddenly smiled, met the junior's eyes, and blinked confidently:
"You'll like him."
…………
"Gui, is that so? The script will be sent over tomorrow and I will study it carefully."
"…………"
"Haha, don't worry, don't you understand me?"
"…………"
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Brother Jaehyun, I will be there on time. Goodbye."
Chi Jingyuan hung up the phone and was in a good mood.
Just now, Park Jae-hyun called and said that he had settled the role of "The Successor" and had contacted SM and issued a formal invitation.
SM was really shocked when they first received the invitation news. Recently, the casting of "The Heir" has attracted a lot of attention in the film and television industry. After all, it is the new work of the well-known writer Kim Eun-sook, who has successfully produced several TV series. A TV series that SBS regards as one of its key projects in the second half of the year.
Moreover, SM itself is also pushing for one of its idols to participate in the show, but the competition is fierce and it has never been confirmed.
Although they have a good relationship with SBS, their influence in the film and television industry is still small.
Unexpectedly, Chi Kyung-won quietly secured the position of the leading actor who was basically confirmed to be Lee Min Ho. At this time and under such circumstances, the leading actor was squeezed out. Some people familiar with the company couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Chi Jingyuan, a famous royal family member of the company, seems to be more powerful than imagined.
However, now that EXO has just returned, and "Roar" is super popular, it is during the promotion and singing period. Chi Jingyuan, the most popular top member of the team, will definitely miss a lot of schedules when he goes to film, and some scheduled schedules need to be re-arranged.
The absence of Ji Kyung-won in some schedules will definitely have a big impact on EXO, but people from the SM planning department have no objections after weighing it, because with the popularity of "Roar", the popularity of other EXO members has become visible to the naked eye. The speed is increasing, and the transparent people and backup dancers are no longer the same as before.
In particular, several members that the company strongly supports are now top of the list compared to other ordinary second- and third-tier boy groups.
In fact, SM itself does not like to have one member become too popular in the group. In this case, the popularity of individual members in a group is too inconsistent, and other members are reduced to backup dancers. This is something they have always put an end to.
Because this kind of combination is not conducive to management and company planning, it is also not conducive to the development prospects of the combination.
So in the past, they often took some measures to prevent some members from explosions, which was referred to as explosion prevention.
Including but not limited to reducing parts, reducing C-position shots, reducing personal resources, and even making the makeup for the return and stage deliberately ugly, etc.
Sometimes fans feel that their idol is coming back this time, or that the look of a certain stage is weird. Anyone who looks at it finds it ugly and inappropriate. They are very confused and curse Cody for his low level and aesthetic deformity. Resign as soon as possible and get out of here, don't harm your idols or anything like that.
But they also don’t think about it. Appearance and makeup are the core factors for the survival of Peninsula artists. Cody, the stylist who works with the entertainment company, is also well-known and his professional skills have been widely recognized. Couldn’t they see that the makeup and clothes are not suitable? ?
The company requires it.
If other people in EXO were so popular, they would have been banned by SM a long time ago, but Chi Jingyuan's situation is a little special...
But now because of the popularity of "Roar", the popularity of other EXO members is rising rapidly, which also relieves SM who were worried about the members' increasing popularity.
At this time, he is absent from some schedules, which just allows other members to show their faces more.
Although Chi Jingyuan's popularity still ranks first in the team, because his fan base was already very large before, the growth rate is not as fast as that of his teammates, and other teammates have been catching up.
However, judging from this growth rate, it is estimated that they will still have to catch up for a long time...
SM will never block Chi Jingyuan's personal schedule, not to mention that they can't get this kind of film and television resources, which makes many companies compete fiercely.
After being surprised, they immediately negotiated seriously and agreed on many key matters, such as salary, promotion cooperation, shooting time, and coordination of shooting time for EXO activities, etc., and then they were ready to sign the contract.
The official script will also be sent tomorrow morning.
Having settled this matter, Chi Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He gently put his phone next to him, flipped his hand and took the game console back into his hand. He controlled his character, carried the sword, and moved towards the weapon in front of him. The chickens and dogs rushed forward.
