"How is Zheng Duobin? The ugly girl who acted in 'That Kid Is So Handsome'?”Shen Lie looked at Tian Xingjian's gloomy face and thought of someone.
" I've already thought of it. It's too expensive!" Tian Xingjian shook his head. This woman's salary had risen sharply last year because of 'That Boy Is So Handsome'. She was almost comparable to an A-list actress. He couldn't afford to hire her. Kim Hee Sun was enough to scare him. Fortunately, it was a friendship price. That was the sky-high price of 700 million Korean won to become the top star of the crew. Jeon Jihyun, on the other hand, only had 200 million Korean won for special reasons. Kim Tae Hee, Han Jiaren, Moon Geun-young, and Sun Yizhen all had between 200 million to 300 million.
The total salary of these six people was close to 2 billion won. Fortunately, the other ordinary actors were not so expensive, but even so, the total salary of all the actors was still 3 billion won. Of course, this included the salary of Tian Xingjian and some people in the photography team.
"Three days. You go to the database yourself in these three days. You have to start filming next Monday. The company is rushing you. Also, this movie will be released at the end of the year, so now is the time for you to worry about the actors, okay?”Shen Lie said. The actors were not important to him at all. What was important was the results of the film. That was what he cared about. Moreover, he had to start planning the publicity activities for the film. These were all things he had to do.
Tian Xingjian had no choice but to give up on his boring hobby after being rejected by Shen Lie. Besides, it was already good enough that he could find these six super beauties. If he could find them at such a cheap price today, he would probably be too lazy to even show their faces and make a cameo in five or six years.
Since Shen Lie couldn't find any help, Tian Xingjian could only return to his desk in frustration. The movie was about to start, but he was missing an important actor. Wasn't this forcing him to go to Liangshan?
" Can makeup solve the problem of age, but can it solve the problem of shape?'Tian Xingjian pondered for a moment. In his impression, Liu Tianwang was a big man with great wisdom who had solved the problem of props and makeup.
"Yunxi, it's urgent. Call me back as soon as you hear this!”Tian Xingjian quickly left a phone message for Kim Yoonhee, who was still filming in the mainland. Kim Hee-Seon couldn't come over directly when he was filming. He had to wait for her to finish her scenes before she could come over to meet up with the crew.
When he thought of Kim Yoonhee, he quickly asked her to secretly learn from the Hong Kong team and ask about the method of makeup. Hong Kong was definitely second to none in terms of makeup. In the era without special effects, Hong Kong makeup artists were famous for being awesome.
If makeup could solve the problem, then it would be easy to find actors. Sammi Jeong was so thin, but she could get such a fat figure. He even remembered a beautiful girl's music video in Han. He had forgotten the name. In the future, she was the top girl in the group on the bullet comment website. There was a music video in which she played two roles. The opening was a super fat girl. After that, of course, it was a golden ratio figure.
After leaving the recording for Kim Yoonhee, she began to think about the current actors. Firstly, they couldn't be too expensive. Secondly, they had to have at least experience in filming. Thirdly, they had to be beautiful.
Three days passed in a flash. Kim Yoonhee's answer was that there was no problem at all. He had found an actress, but she was not one of the actresses he had expected, let alone one who met the standards. The pay was not expensive, and she was a rookie with no filming experience. It was understandable that she was beautiful, but this person was stuffed into the film by CJ.
He heard that the production team was still lacking an important role, so they forced her in. Tian Xingjian understood this and remembered this girl's future identity.
"Yin Enhui, your company has told you about your image, right?”Tian Xingjian looked at the little girl sitting next to him and felt a headache coming on. Although she debuted quite early, she had only just joined the television industry from a singer this year. Moreover, she was on a variety show. He really didn't know what kind of background this little girl had to actually squeeze her into this production team.
"I did say that I'll listen to the director's arrangements!”Yin Enhui nodded vigorously. Although she had made a name for herself on variety shows, this was her first time filming a movie. She was a little too cautious.
"Then let's have a bed scene first!" Tian Xingjian said unhappily.
"You're going to die. You still have a bed scene!" As soon as Tian Xingjian finished speaking, Jin Yunxi slapped him on the back of his head.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm the director. Can you show some respect? Be careful not to fire you. Hurry up and start your makeup!”Tian Xingjian rolled his eyes. He had no prestige in the crew at all.
"How dare you!" Kim Yoonhee was about to continue when she saw a group of girls walking over from not far away, so she didn't say anything more. This time, she had left the Myths production team ahead of time and specially ran over to help. Jin Xishan still had her boss to take care of him. Naturally, it was not impossible for him to do without her.
"Xingjian, it's almost time. We're going to start the opening ceremony!”Tian Xingjian nodded his head to indicate that he understood. He also asked Kim Yoonhee to speed up the process of touching up Yin Enhui's makeup. This girl had just rushed over from the television station.
Although the opening ceremony in Han was not as complicated as in Hong Kong, there would also be a set of worshipping gods. However, the meaning of worshipping gods here was to pray to the gods for the production team to sold well at the box office.
Of course, there was also a roast pig, but CJ kept a low profile this time. They couldn't let the X Files incident spread like wildfire, so they didn't dare to make a big fuss about it.
Since Kim Hee-Seon was no longer around, he could only film modern scenes first, which was the middle-aged time of these girls. Fortunately, there were not many scenes of Kim Hee-Seon in the middle-aged time, so it was not a problem to squeeze it to the end.
For the first scene, Tian Xingjian didn't have many requirements. He directly shot the scene in the hospital. After all, everyone was here. He couldn't shoot Han Jiaren's scene alone, right? After the opening ceremony, he directly shot the scene of the four sisters talking about men on the hospital bed.
Tian Xingjian had spent a lot of money this time. He had used the remaining money from Yin Enhui's salary to hire a group of professional makeup artists from Hong Kong. Of course, this amount of money was not enough. In order to convince Shen Lie to hire these people, he had used his own money to hire these people. In front of Shen Lie and the rest of the crew, he had them cover up the fact that they had changed a person from young to old with just makeup.
Just this move alone shocked CJ's senior management and the big shots of the production team. Their jaws almost fell off, and they all shouted that it was a miracle. Tian Xingjian was also drunk with these country bumpkins. Although the makeup of the Hong Kong film crew was very good now, it would be a miracle in the United States in the future.
For this reason, Shen Lie directly took out the 500,000 yuan fake budget and pasted it on it. It was the most economical way. Did he have to find another group of actors to act as the middle-aged version of these people?
As the saying goes, three women make a show. This time, he had forcefully pulled seven beautiful women from Han Country to act. Not to mention whether they were competitors in private, just acting together was enough to give Tian Xingjian a headache.
Although Han Jiaren seemed to draw a clear line with him on the surface, her warning gaze from time to time made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. Jeon Jihyun, this girl, came today and gave him a heads-up. Originally, she said she wanted to cut her hair, but it turned into shoulder-length hair, but she didn't. She even told Tian Xingjian that if the company asked her to cut her hair, she would cut it. What did this mean? It was because the news that Tian Xingjian had bypassed her and her manager to find the company's artist director had been leaked. Sun Yizhen did not have much of a collaboration with him, but he did not know where she had found out about her and the others 'pay. Today, her manager had privately asked him if he could give her more scenes even though they had signed a contract. Sun Yizhen was playing the most beautiful of the seven princesses, which meant that there would be no scenes for him in his middle age. Only the last scene would appear.
These three characters had been defined by Tian Xingjian as the three most difficult characters. Moon Geun Ying was the most honest, playing the little girl who liked to write. Her middle-aged scenes were average, while Kim Tae-hee was still calm and indifferent. As for Yin Enhui, she would listen to whatever the most tender newcomer said. There was only Kim Hee-Seon. Alright, she was still filming in China. She would see how things went when she arrived.
However, he would probably hate him to death. Besides, Kim Yoonhee already knew about the relationship between Tian Xingjian and Han Jiaren. As Kim Yoonhee's best friend, how could Kim Hee-seon give him a good look?
"First scene, first act, action!”Tian Xingjian finally shouted out the first words that a director would say in his life. The excitement in his heart was definitely not something that could be expressed with words.
"Pfft! Sorry, director!" Jeon Jihyun was lying on the bed and accidentally crushed the banana. He instantly burst into laughter.
'F * ck, are you kidding me? My director's first time was ruined by you!'Tian Xingjian was instantly irritated, but he didn't say anything on the surface. Start over, Yoonhee, help Jeon Jihyun change his clothes!”
It was unknown if it was intentional or accidental, but Han Jiaren forgot her lines during the second shoot. The four of them lay on the bed and burst into laughter again. Don't worry, it wasn't over yet. The third time, Yin Enhui fell out of the camera because she was wearing a special pants. Alright, the fourth time, Kim Taixi laughed again for some reason.
" Professional, professional. You guys are professional actors!'Tian Xingjian was very patient as he once again tried to calm down. After all, he was a new director, so these actors didn't feel any pressure at all.
After filming for the entire morning, they did not even manage to complete a single scene in the ward. This group of people was also strange today. If they did not mispronounce their lines, they would laugh. Please, you guys were not familiar with each other before. Did you have to be so intimate?
"Xingjian, don't be anxious, take your time!”During lunch, Xu Mingbo sat with him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Senior, it's okay. I know!”Tian Xingjian was a little reserved in front of Xu Mingbo this time. In the past, he would casually joke with him. At that time, he was just a small assistant in the production team. It didn't matter. This time was different. The production team could operate so smoothly because of Xu Mingbo.
Even Assistant Director Park didn't dare to say anything. He was completely focused on Tian Xingjian. This Assistant Director Park used to be an assistant director of the same level as him. He was 10 years older than him, and he was also an old man who graduated from the directing major of the Seoul Institute of the Arts.
He was also the most promising person in their production team to be promoted to assistant director. That assistant director was a real assistant director who could film independently. He was not here to escort him.
It was thanks to Shen Lie's hint and Xu Mingbo's cooperation that he was willing to come and help Tian Xingjian. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to find an assistant director.
"Hehe, let me tell you a trick. When these girls are messing around during the filming in the afternoon, just bang the table and shout. We will cooperate with you when the time comes!”Xu Mingbo suggested. Of course, he could see that Tian Xingjian had no problem with directing. What he lacked was experience and foundation. If a director who had shot eight or ten movies came, would these girls still dare to cause trouble?
"Alright, I'll try!" Tian Xingjian also understood that Xu Mingbo wanted to help him establish his prestige. There was no other way. These girls were either big shots or the most popular female celebrities. If they brought such a group of ancestors over, their progress would definitely be delayed if they were honest in the department. To be honest, he himself felt that the filming in the morning was not up to standard, but in front of so many people, he was embarrassed to slow down the filming progress. He could only express his approval.
After dinner, Tian Xingjian called the script supervisor over and told him to tell the actresses to retake the scenes from the morning and to review the script and lines.
"Director Tian, didn't you miss your scenes in the morning? Why do we have to reshoot again? I'm memorizing the lines for this afternoon?”When Jeon Jihyun heard the script supervisor's words, he ran over to the director's team and questioned Tian Xingjian.
Tian Xingjian was also stunned by Jeon Jihyun's question. This girl was definitely the most famous and the most troublesome one before Kim Hee Sun came. Seeing that Xu Mingbo gave him a look, he also had the confidence to say," If I ask you to reshoot, then reshoot. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Is this how your company teaches artists?"”
"I just don't understand. Why would they waste everyone's time on scenes that have already passed? Is CJ that rich? Just wasting film?" Jeon Ji-hyun said, unwilling to be outdone.
"Then are you going to shoot or not?" Tian Xingjian raised his eyes and said.
"No!" Jeon Ji Hyun raised his chin and bit his lips as he glared at Tian Xingjian. She was already unhappy with Tian Xingjian. A young man actually shouted at him. The most important thing was that this kid was not honest. He directly bypassed her and her manager and went to the company's higher-ups. This was what she was most angry about.
"Then why are you still standing there? Turn left when you go out!" Tian Xingjian then turned around." Sun Yizhen, you'll play the role of Xia Chunhua. Kim Tae-hee, combine the roles of Seo Jin-ok and Hwang Jin-hee. Moon Geun-young, you'll play the role of Zheng Xiuji. Rest for half an hour. Kim Tae-hee, come over and revise the script with me!”Tian Xingjian's anger was also coming.'Damn it, without you, the production team will not change. If there's one less role, then there's one less role. The role of the author that Wen Genying played previously was dispensable, so it's just right to cut it out.'
Not to mention Jeon Jihyun, the entire production team did not expect this. Seo Myung Bak's eyes widened. They had agreed to establish their authority. Now that Jeon Jihyun was fired, what about the contract? How was he going to explain this to the company?
Shen Lie was also stunned, but he didn't say anything. He gave the other CJ executives a look, and the others maintained their positions. The entire production team instantly fell silent.
"Why are you so cold?”Tian Xingjian stood up and walked past Jeon Jihyun without even looking at her. He shouted at Kim Taixi who was still in a daze and walked out of the filming room.
Jin Taixi was also stunned for a moment, and quickly followed Tian Xingjian out of the shooting room, until they entered a stairwell of the hospital. He saw Tian Xingjian unhappily take out a cigarette from his pocket," Bring me the script, I'll change it for you!”
Although Tian Xingjian said that he had copied the entire script, he didn't have any pressure to change the script. It was just a character cut, especially since it had just been filmed. He didn't care about the role of Xu Jinyu at all. Anyway, his presence was especially high. The whole scene was actually four main actors in the middle age stage.
Han Jiaren, Kim Tae-hee, Yoon Eunhye, and Jeon Jihyun were now replaced by Son Yizhen.
"Director Tian, Xu Jinyu's role cannot be changed!”Jin Taixi looked at Tian Xingjian who was sitting on the stairs and said in a low voice.
"What can't I change? If I can write it, I can change it!”Tian Xingjian said unwillingly.
"Seo Jinyu's character represents the image of most women in Han. They gave up their dreams for their families, while Hwang Jinhee represents the current situation of some rich women in Han. They think that plastic surgery can maintain their youth and beauty and win back their husbands 'attachment. In the end, they still can't escape another lifestyle of supporting young men. How can these two classes be combined?”Kim Taehee shook his head and said seriously.
"F * ck!" Tian Xingjian didn't think of this. When he first read the script and movie, he was only analyzing the characteristics of each woman. He didn't pay much attention to this characteristic of 'Seo Jinyu'. According to Kim Taihee,' In Nami 'represented the middle class life in Han, while Kim Hee Seon's role as Yu Fuxi was the lowest class life.
After thinking about this for a moment, she looked at Kim Tae-hee with some difficulty." Then change the actor. Hmm, let Kim Yoonhee be the substitute!"”
"Actually, it was indeed our fault this morning. Everyone was not in a good state. During lunch, because Miss Jeon Jihyun had a special situation today, she could not eat lunch. She found the production team to change it to something lighter. Perhaps she was too busy and forgot to change it for Miss Jeon Jihyun, so her temper was a little bad.”Jin Taixi sat beside Tian Xingjian and explained in a low voice.
"What does her period have to do with me! I'm not his husband. If I were his husband, I'd be depressed!”Tian Xingjian curled his lips, but he regretted saying it. He wasn't familiar with Kim Taixi, so it wasn't appropriate to say such dirty words to him.
"Alright, don't be so childish. I'm sure your manager will come to apologize to you in a while. You're a great director. You can't meet an actor that you're completely satisfied with in the future, right? It's time to show your ability as a director to train actors.”Jin Taixi laughed and waved his fist in front of Tian Xingjian, then stood up and left.
"F * ck me!" Tian Xingjian found that he couldn't say a word after being beaten by Jin Taixi. He could only sit there and smoke the cigarette in his mouth.
" Oppa is so handsome and sexy when he's angry! I'll give you a massage after work! Don't be angry anymore. Come back and film!'Tian Xingjian looked at the message sent by Han Jiaren and was speechless. F * ck, this was another person who was speaking up for Jeon Jihyun. It had only been a morning, and these competitors were like they were wearing the same pants.
Sure enough, they had just become famous. It wasn't the time for them to become super big shots in the future. At that time, Tian Xingjian didn't believe that this group of people could be so harmonious.
Just as he was about to kick his phone back into the room, Kim Yoonhee's text message arrived. However, before he could read it, Jeon Jihyun's agent pushed open the door of the stairwell and walked over apologetically. Tian Xingjian was a director after all. Seeing the agent bowing and apologizing, he almost knelt down in front of him. He was half-pushed and half-held by the other party's agent as he walked back.
As soon as he walked out of the stairwell, he saw Jeon Jihyun standing outside the door. As soon as he came out, he bowed 90 degrees." Director Tian, it's my fault. I said something inappropriate. Please forgive me!”
"Oh!" Tian Xingjian still couldn't put down his face, so he took the lead and walked towards the ward where the filming was taking place.
Sitting on the director's chair, she was about to take a sip of water when she saw Jeon Jihyun being led back by her manager. She stood obediently at the door with her head lowered and did not say a word.
"Director, do you need Jeon Jihyun to cut his hair into shoulder-length hair?”Jeon Jihyun's agent quickly walked over and respectfully said to Tian Xingjian while blocking the faces of the crew.
"No need. Kim Yoonhee tied his hair up.”Tian Xingjian turned around and shouted at Kim Yoonhee,"Be a middle-aged woman's hair."”
"Do you want a perm?" Kim Yoonhee replied in a daze.
"F * ck!" Tian Xingjian was about to vomit blood in his heart. Did this woman even know how to speak? Her head must have been squeezed by the door just now.
"Do as you see fit!" Tian Xingjian said unhappily.
"Forget it, forget it. There's not enough time!”Kim Yoonhee saw everyone's expression and realized that she had said something wrong. However, she was unhappy. Didn't middle-aged women always perm their hair? She was not wrong.
Jeon Jihyun, who had her hair tied up, had indeed changed her temperament. It couldn't be helped that a beauty was a beauty. She could control all kinds of hairstyles. With her long hair tied up, she looked very independent and feminine under Kim Yoonhee's adjustment.
