Millennium director

Located in the Park Hyatt Hotel, the top luxury hotel in Gangnam District, Seoul.

Zeng Jia and Yang Mi, who had just arrived from China, were looking at the interior of this top luxury hotel in admiration.

Of course, they are not qualified to talk to the person in charge of tvN with Wu Yuan, but Yang Mi is very satisfied with the current situation.

"I asked when I came up, and this room costs 200 US dollars a day." Zeng Jia said with emotion: "You have to stay for at least two months, and the accommodation fee alone will be 100,000 yuan less."

“There is so much money in the age of light and shadow!”

Rongxinda is also one of the major brokerage companies in the mainland. It can finance and produce TV series by itself, and can barely connect the upstream and downstream to provide one-stop services.

But even so, when Yang Mi was at Rong Xinda, the company was not so luxurious as to let her stay in five-star hotels, and they were top-notch luxury hotels.

She jumped onto the big soft bed with satisfaction and buried her head in the silk quilt: "This job is really worth it."

"That's right." Zeng Jia smiled brightly: "You must be right to listen to me."

"Although your salary for "Ghost" this time is not high, only 200,000 yuan per episode, this is the company's own project. As long as you perform well in front of Director Wu, you will be in Director Wu's eyes, and your future is limitless. .”

Zeng Jia's face showed a look of longing: "I heard that Director Wu is preparing a Hollywood blockbuster in the United States, which will be released worldwide."

“It would be really amazing if you could get involved in this movie.

After hearing this, Yang Mi's eyes showed a bit of ambition, and she nodded fiercely: "I know!"

"Where's the script? Bring it over and I'll read it a few more times and try to figure it out."

It's so pitiful, she can swear to God, during the college entrance examination, she didn't work hard after accepting the script of "Ghost"!

While the two were pondering over the script, outside Yang Mi's room, Li Dongxu, with his assistant and translator, also stood at the door with some anxiety.

Big bosses from China and South Korea were talking, and he, the leading actor, had no time to spare.

After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and gently rang the doorbell.

Soon, a clear and pleasant voice sounded from the door.

Zeng Jia said in English: "Wait a minute" and hurriedly ran over and opened the door. She thought it was room service.

"Hey, who are you?" When she saw that the person standing at the door was not a smiling waiter, but Li Dongxu, who was very handsome in suits and ties, she was stunned.

"Hello, I am actor Li Dongxu. I will play the role of Wang Li, the messenger of the underworld, in "Goblin"."

"Excuse me, Miss Yang Mi, do you have time? I would like to talk to her about the filming of this drama and do a couple of scenes together."

"The two of us have a lot of rivalry scenes, and there is also an emotional line. I want to discuss it with Yang Mixi before the script workshop begins."

Script Workshop.

To put it simply, the director and screenwriter call all the leading actors together to discuss the script, share their understanding of the script and the characters they play, and help each other understand themselves.

Generally, before starting production of TV series and movies, several rounds of script reading meetings must be held, especially the more demanding directors, the more they value this.

It was only later that after the mainland’s traffic era began, actors became more and more famous, TV drama directors’ status became lower and lower, and actors could not be used at all. Top actors often had no schedules or time, so script reading sessions gradually stopped being held.

But no one dared to show off in front of Wu Yuan.

On the contrary, Li Dongxu was afraid that when he first met Wu Yuan, his understanding of the script and characters was not deep enough and Wu Yuan would be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly approached Yang Mi and wanted to have a "little fight" with her.

After all, the two of them are rival actors. When they understand the script, they are also understanding each other's characters.

"Oh good!" Zeng Jia was a little surprised by the Korean actor's professional attitude. She stretched out her head and looked around, and after making sure there was no one else in the corridor, let alone paparazzi, she invited him into the room.

"Mi Mi Mi, Li Dongxu, who plays opposite you, is here to exchange scripts with you."

Yang Mi, who was rolling on the bed in the back room, rolled over like a carp, looked at the dressing mirror against the wall, straightened it out quickly, and then walked out of the room quickly.

"Hey, he's quite handsome!" Yang Mi sighed inwardly when she saw Li Dongxu for the first time.

"Yang Mixi, it's nice to meet you. We will be cooperating for a while." Li Dongxu bowed again and held his elbow to shake hands with her.

This comprehensive set of etiquette makes it difficult for the big girls in the capital to get used to it.

Yang Mi's English is not very good, or she is admitted to the acting department, and most of her cultural classes are quite average.

Fortunately, Li Dongxu was very careful and brought a Chinese translator, and Zeng Jia knew English, so the communication between the two was relatively simple.

Soon, Yang Mi got into the mood, reviewing the script with Li Dongxu, and exchanging views on the characters and their mental journeys.

Although Yang Mi was criticized in later generations, there were endless accusations of drama, acting as a big name, disrespecting work, etc.

However, Yang Mi, who debuted as a child star and studied at Nortel Vocational College, has a decent professional level. When she is willing to work hard, her level of performance also makes Li Dongxu look at her.

Even in South Korea, it is rare to see such a young and highly professional TV drama actor as Yang Mi.

It can only be said that anyone who can make it out of the highly competitive entertainment industry must have a few skills.

The two communicated for an entire afternoon and basically sorted out the relationship between Wang Li and Sunny. After gaining a deeper understanding, Li Dongxu reluctantly said goodbye to Yang Mi and made an appointment to continue reviewing the script tomorrow.

In this way, after reviewing the script for three consecutive days, the two made a splash on the fourth day when the crew officially gathered for a script study meeting.

Both director Song Yang and Wu Yuan, who appears to be the leading actor but is actually the Supreme Emperor, are very satisfied with their understanding of the script.

This shows that the two of them really worked hard on script reading!

"Not bad, not bad. Both Li Dongxu and Yang Mi have a very high level of understanding of scripts." Sitting at the bottom, Wu Yuan tilted his head and whispered to Liu Yifei: "This level of understanding is not inferior to that of the two of us."

You know, they often have "in-depth communication" in bed.

He glanced doubtfully at Li Dongxu, who looked at Yang Mi from time to time and smiled. Wu Yuan keenly caught something in their eyes.

"Something's wrong." He frowned.

But now is not the time to think about such irrelevant things.

"Okay, everyone has a good understanding of the script."

Song Yang looked around the study room.

Except for the three leading actors, Wu Yuan, Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, most of the other supporting roles are actors recruited locally from South Korea, and they are all prime supporting roles in South Korea's three major TV stations.

For example, the person who plays the grandson of the president of Ryu Shi Group is Lee Donghae, a member of Super Junior, a Korean boy band that is currently popular in Asia.

This is also part of the cooperation between Light and Shadow Times and tvN, and it is also a way to better make this TV series more accessible to Koreans who have always been repulsive to outsiders.

When Netflix comes, they have to use Korean actors and cooperate with local Korean production companies. Wu Yuan does not expect to break into the Korean market with TV series with all Chinese actors.

Rather than giving up one or two starring roles, Wu Yuan would rather give up most of the supporting roles to Korean actors.

This will make the Korean audience look familiar and feel more like a "local drama". There are more than ten actors in "Ghost", but only 3 are Chinese. At least on the surface, it has a high Korean content!

"Thank you for your study and discussion these days."

"Then, I declare that the study and discussion of "The Lonely and Brilliant God and Ghost" is over!"

"Everyone has a day off tomorrow, and the filming will officially start the day after tomorrow!" (End of this chapter)
