Millennium director

South Korea, Seoul, an apartment.

Li Dongxu was leaning on the sofa in the living room, looking at his manager in disbelief.

He pointed at his face: "Me?"

"Are you sure you're looking for me?"

"Of course." The short, fat agent nodded his head: "I was shocked when I learned the news. After repeated confirmation, it is indeed true."

"That great Chinese director wants to invite you to star in a TV series produced by his company."

"Although he is the second male lead, the male lead is played by director Wu Yuan himself!"

"This is simply exaggerated."

"He would actually deign to act in a TV series!"

Li Dongxu's manager was dancing and making exaggerated movements.

The class gap in the entertainment industry in South Korea is much more severe and obvious than that in the mainland.

Movie actors are higher-end than TV drama actors, TV drama actors are higher-end than singers, and singers are higher-end than comedians.

This class division is very obvious. Movie actors in Zhongmulu will not easily act in TV series.

Some actors who made their debut in movies may have never acted in a TV series throughout their entire career, let alone a director who knows how to act.

Perhaps it is not uncommon for people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to direct and act in their own films, and there are countless directors who play guest roles for fun.

But in South Korea, since the development of the entertainment industry, there has been no film director who is also an actor, let alone acting in TV series.

Now this international director from China is widely respected in Hollywood. Wu Yuan, who is regarded as a guest by the top six Hollywood directors, is actually going to star in a TV series.

Moreover, this TV series also invites Li Dongxu to play the second male lead.

To be honest, when Li Dongxu's agent received the news, his first thought was that this was a fraud!

He even suspected that the person on the other end of the phone was a friend who was playing a prank on him.

After repeatedly confirming that the other party was really the person in charge of the Light and Shadow Times Film and Television Company from China, he reluctantly digested the news, and then immediately came to see his artist Li Dongxu.

"Dongxu, this opportunity is very rare. This is a Chinese TV series, but according to people from the Light and Shadow Times, this TV series will also be broadcast simultaneously in South Korea."

"They will have an online video platform similar to YouTube, which will be launched in South Korea. This TV series is the first TV series launched on this video platform."

"Although I don't quite understand the effect of this kind of online broadcast, this TV series will also be broadcast simultaneously in China."

"China is a vast market with 1.2 billion people. We Hallyu stars have been working hard to enter China these years."

"Look at Jang Nara, who is firmly established in China. She has filmed many Chinese TV series and released Chinese albums. She has a lot of fans in China and makes more than ten times as much money in a year as you do. "

"She seems to be the same age as you, right?"

"Now, you also have this opportunity to enter the Chinese market like her!"

The agent patted the script on the table hard: "This is the TV series. As long as we accept it, we hope to enter the Chinese market.

"This is directed by Wu Yuan and I believe all Chinese people will watch this TV series!"

Li Dongxu was still in a state of shock and confusion. He looked at the script on the table in disbelief.

""The Lonely and Brilliant God and Ghost""

"What a strange name."

"But haven't we already agreed to star in KBS's "Partner"?"

"It doesn't matter!" the agent said excitedly: ""Partner" will start shooting in May, and "Goblin" will start shooting in February. If everything goes well, May will be completed."

"And even if there is a conflict in the later schedule, we can coordinate with KBS and postpone the filming of "Partner" for a month!"

"If KBS doesn't agree, the worst we can do is refuse the show. None of the ten KBS dramas are as important as this one, "Goblin"!"

"This is the entire Chinese market!"

Li Dongxu thought about it and had to admit that his agent was right. This kind of opportunity to enter the Chinese market is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. An ordinary domestic TV series is really incomparable.

"I understand." He nodded and replied affirmatively: "Then please help me negotiate with China."

"I would like to star in this TV series!"

After saying that, he picked up the script and started reading it.

"I'm going to play the second male lead, right? Wang Li, the messenger from the underworld?"

"Yes."

Li Dongxu took a rough look at the character biographies on the first few pages and said with satisfaction: "He is a very charming character."

"I will try my best to act well."

"Then who is the actor opposite me?"

"The actor who plays Sunny."

The agent scratched his head: "I don't know, the other party didn't say, but I guess he should be a Chinese actor."

"Light and Shadow Times only invited you, a Korean actor. I heard from them that you were appointed by Director Wu Yuan."

"Maybe it's because "Your Girl" was broadcast in China and he saw your wonderful performance on TV."

The Korean drama "My Girl", which aired in 2005 and starred Lee Da-hae, Lee Dong-wook and Lee Jun-ki, was a dark horse on the Korean screen at that time.

Although the ratings of the first episode were 14%, the results were mediocre.

However, as the plot progresses, the ratings are rising step by step. For the last episode broadcast, the national ratings have climbed to 24%, and the ratings in Seoul are as high as 26.4%, ranking first among the three TV dramas in the same time period.

Later, after it was broadcast on Jade Channel, southern audiences in the Mainland could also watch it, and it also set a high ratings record for Jade Channel.

Mango Channel in the Mainland has already negotiated with the drama company to introduce the show, and it will be broadcast on Mango Channel during prime time in June next year. The TV series "My Girl" is now very influential in the Mainland.

Lee Da-hae and Lee Dong-wook are also rising to fame in China.

Even so, Li Dongxu was flattered: "Director Wu Yuan would actually notice me and personally name me to star in this drama?"

"I will work hard and live up to Director Wu's trust!"

There was a fire in his chest.

Although Wu Yuan came to be an actor for fun this time, he has not forgotten Wu Yuan's job. He is a top international director. His movies have been sold all over the world. If he can develop with him If there is a relationship, then wouldn't Lee Dong-wook be able to become a Korean actor who goes abroad and enters Hollywood?

Hey, which actor has never had such a dream?

His agent also said excitedly: "Yes, Dongxu, you must try your best to perform in this TV series this time and show your acting skills in front of Director Wu. If he is interested, Your future will be prosperous and you will become a national-level or even world-class actor!"

"Besides, the reward for taking on this drama this time is also very generous."

"The Chinese people are really rich now, and they actually gave you a salary of 100 million won per episode!"

More than 100 million per episode?

Converted into RMB, it’s only 500,000 per episode.

This price is no longer considered high in mainland China, where film salaries are increasing rapidly. Second- and third-tier actors can get this much money.

But in South Korea, the salary for a single episode is over 100 million, which is a price that only first-line TV drama actors can get.

The pay for actors in China has begun to develop abnormally.

"I know, I will work hard!" Li Dongxu nodded confidently, holding the script in hand and studying it carefully.

He decided that in the next month, he would put down all his work and study this script in seclusion. He must understand it thoroughly!

This may be his only chance in this life, and he must seize it!

Sorry, it's a bit late, there is still one chapter left.
