The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 394 Supporting Actor Alliance
(Thanks for the rewards of "Spiritual Empty", more rewards!)

Li Menglong was on the plane in the middle of the night, so the office rushed over early in the morning. Fortunately, the fried chicken restaurant is open 24 hours a day. After rubbing his sore eyes, Li Menglong decided not to think about the script anymore, otherwise his brain would be overwhelmed .

So he went to the front desk to order some food, and then looked around blankly with blank eyes, but soon he met a middle-aged uncle among the few diners in the store.

This uncle looks very sloppy, with a lot of stubble growing out, and the half-length hair that should have been combed in a regular way is also casually scattered behind his head, and Li Menglong can meet him and smile on the one hand because they are very familiar with each other. It was casual, more because both of them were in a daze deliberately.

"Please!"

"Thank you!"

A simple two-sentence dialogue, and then the two of them were not very elegant in eating. It could be seen that they were both hungry all night. The other party seemed to have not enough to eat, so they stood up: "What else do you want to eat? I invite you you!"

It's just an embarrassing scene. After ordering a bunch of fried chicken for the uncle, he realized that he didn't seem to have any money. Li Menglong waved to the waiter to charge it to his account. As for the uncle, he was also a bachelor: "I will trouble you today, and I will treat you to a good meal when we meet again."

Li Menglong doesn't care either, it's just a temporary idea, and he doesn't want any repayment from the other party, but after eating, Li Menglong's mind can't help but start thinking about the script again, for example, the most important actor, the idiot, he Li Menglong doesn't I know what a fool looks like.

"Fool? I've done a lot of research recently!" The man on the opposite side heard Li Menglong's murmur, as if he wanted to repay this kindness, so he was very talkative.

Li Menglong watched the other party transform from a sloppy middle-aged uncle into a fool with an IQ of no more than six years old. He couldn't tell exactly what changed, but he felt that he would not lie.

"The most important thing is the eyes, you know. I've been studying people with mental retardation these days. They can't see people frankly and intuitively, but they're not guilty, just mixed with fear and curiosity!"

Looking at the other party who was chatting eloquently, although he didn't know the name of the other party, but he appeared at the fried chicken restaurant at this time, and happened to have studied the fool recently, Li Menglong didn't believe it when he said that he wasn't here for the interview.

So Li Menglong started to look at this uncle head-on, other things are fine, but this one is a bit too handsome, and his facial features are too tough: "If you come to play Long Jiu, I'm afraid that the audience will come out when they see such a handsome fool. play!"

Liu Chenglong was still talking about the experience of a fool, but hearing Li Menglong say that seemed to swallow a fly, who is this?Fortunately, he is also an actor who has seen big scenes: "I think this is my advantage. A fool is a fool if he stands there. That kind of person is a comedian! A fool is also a human being, and he can look like a human being!"

"One more time?"

"No problem, I've already memorized more than half of the script, you can pick whatever you want!"

In this way, the two people who didn't even know each other's name and identity began to audition at the fried chicken restaurant in the early morning, and the process was quite hit it off.

Ryu Seung-ryong is well-known in the Korean movie circle. Although he was born in 70, although his reputation is not obvious, and he rarely even plays the leading role, he has silently won several awards for Best Supporting Actor.

This resume can only show one thing, this is an acting school of acting.As for the script that can keep Li Menglong awake at night, this man can naturally see the bright spots in it. When the script was delivered to him through various channels, he told himself that this Dragon Nine belongs to him, and he is Dragon Nine!

"Li Menglong! One of the directors and screenwriters of this drama, plus the investor, hope to have a happy cooperation, leading actor Long Jiu!"

"Liu Chenglong, a young actor, don't expect me to sell tickets, be careful to lose you!"

The two men's big hands held together, Li Menglong didn't know who pulled Liu Chenglong over, but Li Menglong knew that he was the leading actor, and he found one-third of the soul of the whole play.

"Brother, why don't you join me in the interview later? There are no outsiders in this show, and I'm still a little panicked!"

"Okay, but who are you looking for? It's really a waste to let those young idols play the role!"

"Don't worry, I know what's in my mind, I can't hold you back, your eldest daughter let Xu Xian play, do you know Xu Xian? The one in Girls' Generation!"

"I've seen her movie, it's very spiritual!"

Taking Liu Chenglong to the third floor, they continued to communicate on the issue of the script. Li Menglong finally had someone who also had research on the script to discuss with.

It was also the first time for Ryu Seung-ryong to meet a director who respects the wishes of actors so much, especially since Li Mong-ryong is one of the screenwriters. Many people have blind confidence in their own works.

But Li Menglong is not like this, he even thinks that as far as the role of Long Jiu is concerned, he can't even understand it better than Liu Chenglong. After all, he won't study the behavior of a fool just for a role.

Although it is not appropriate to say that it is a bit inappropriate, and the slut Eva is even more extreme, but the two of them are indeed like old friends for more than ten years, and no one would think that this is the fourth hour of their acquaintance.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Enxi had set the interview time for the actors. The fried chicken restaurant on the first floor was closed, and there were actors from all walks of life in every seat here, but everyone had one thing in common—they looked familiar but couldn't tell. name.

If you analyze this group of people in depth, you will find that these people appear in almost every Korean movie, because almost all the best supporting roles in Korea have been brought over by Lee Eun Hee.

As for the means, of course, we still need to use some methods. First of all, there is a slogan. Li Enxi claims to justify the names of all unsuccessful supporting roles, and she wants to make a movie that belongs to supporting roles.

The fact is the same, the people who received the script were all actors who were over 40 years old from all walks of life, and the protagonists such as idols and Jiang Dongyuan did not receive the invitation.

The next thing is to spend money. After all, the supporting actors are busier and have to participate in all the plays. Why should they come to you to act?And Li Enxi showed her decisiveness at this time - each supporting role paid a sky-high price of 2 million.

This is a price that no one can resist in the world of supporting actors, not to mention knowing that Li Enxi is not lying after reading the script. here.

As for Li Enxi, did he suffer?Of course not, first of all, this movie from Li Menglong to her is positioned as a work to practice hands and accumulate reputation for the company, so I don't expect to make money, even if I lose it.

Secondly, the scene of this movie itself is small, the heroine is one big and one small, the young one is worthless, and the big Xu Xian doesn’t need money, so the remuneration is concentrated on the male actors.

A total of 12 billion for the six supporting roles, plus Ryu Seung-ryong as the protagonist, the total salary is less than 20 billion. Is it very high?You must know that Yin Eunhui's recent movie filming alone is almost the same as her personal salary and dividends.

The two of Li Menglong and Li Enxi came to make up the number. After all, there are three people in the interview, so it looks imposing.And it was really a good move for Li Menglong to ask Liu Chenglong to come over together.

Although Liu Chenglong has almost never been a leading role, but in the circle of supporting actors, he is an existence who is in charge, and he is too familiar with this group of people, so he went downstairs and said the requirements of this drama, and left immediately For less than half of the time, those who left were all for the pay.

The rest is to really like this script, and even like Ryu Seung-ryong, he has already found a role for himself. Li Menglong just needs to watch them perform with peace of mind.

I have to say that this is the case all over the world. The supporting actors are the main force supporting the film industry. Maybe some protagonists are really good at acting, but if you put all the protagonists and supporting actors together, the overall quality is definitely better than the supporting actors.

In a short morning, everyone had a meal together at noon, and the characters in the script were all decided. Li Menglong discussed the script with a group of men, while Li Enxi looked at the resumes of these people.

Each of them has their own pride. Simply put, these people have participated in the shooting of more than one major production, and they have left their own unique marks on the characters.

The main character is Ryu Seung-ryong, otherwise, if someone younger like Jiang Dongyuan comes over, they will definitely not be able to suppress this group of people, because the test in this crew is absolute acting skills, and any extra-screen factors such as appearance and popularity will be ignored.

Fortunately, it seems that the atmosphere is very good now, especially Li Menglong, who feels that he can seamlessly connect everywhere. Of course, it does not rule out that everyone is deliberately trying to curry favor with him after knowing that he is the director.

The addition of Ryu Seung-yong is considered to have found a third of the soul of the script, and the six supporting roles added another third, and the remaining third is the heroine, of course not Xu Xian!
This group of people can be regarded as relatively well-connected in the circle, but child stars cannot be cultivated, it can be said that they can be met but not sought after.

There was even a book that waited for a suitable child actor for several years: "You study the script carefully, I will find a little girl, there will always be a suitable one!"

Li Menglong and this group of people mainly talked about the script and relationship. As for the embarrassing issues such as salary and schedule, of course they have to be handed over to the agent, and Li Menglong's side is Li Enxi. With her ability, I believe there will be a good one. the result of.

The group of actors was sent away here, and Li Menglong immediately called out Li Zhouyong who was at home, accompanied by Liu Dashen who happened to be free.

"Movies? Are you too prolific? Let me tell you, you don't have to be so busy as a director!" Although Li Zhouyong was joking, he still flipped through the script.

"Such a good book, if you can't do it, just shoot it for me, who do you find as an actor?"

Li Menglong reported his name. Li Zhouyong is not the ordinary people who eat melons. He naturally knows these people. He bought Li Menglong a glass of wine: "This is the right way. If this group of people is together, even if the box office is not good. It is hopeful to win an award in the end.”
