Volume 5 2013 Chapter 917 Choi Jin-ri's Fan Meeting (I)
Yi Haoyan didn't know that Pei Zhuxuan's relocation had been unilaterally decided, and he was busy with other things at the time.
I had promised Choi Jin-ri that I would let her be the heroine in the new work in the Reply series, so of course I couldn't just talk about it and leave it at that.
In fact, the boy had already formally mentioned this matter to Sun Eun-hee. The eldest lady also conveyed Yi Hao-yeon's intention to Jin Zhi-hao.
But this kind of thing is not something that can be done by just saying hello.
Don't get me wrong.
Jin Zhihao and Li Youjing would definitely not refuse.
Even without considering Yi Haoyan's identity background and CJ Entertainment's investment, Jin Zhihao and Li Youjing would take Yi Haoyan's request seriously based on personal relationships and business capabilities.
After all, when "Reply 1997" was planned, both the director and the screenwriter witnessed his extraordinary abilities and vision.
You have to know that it was the teenager who proposed to choose Jung Eun-ji as the heroine, and even though everyone had doubts at the time, they still accepted it because there was really no better choice.
Unexpectedly, this decision finally yielded such excellent results.
No one expected that Jung Eun-ji, a new female idol with no acting experience, could perform so well in her first time as the heroine of a TV drama!
This also reflects Yi Haoyan's uniqueness from the side.
Now he is pushing for a beautiful female idol to be the heroine of the new drama, and of course both of them are very interested.
As the director and screenwriter, Jin Zhihao and Li Youjing will be directly responsible for the success or failure of the entire play, so from a business perspective, since they have to decide on the female lead, they naturally have to meet and have a chat.
On the one hand, it is to get to know each other and see what characteristics this popular female idol named Choi Jin-ri has and how she can better cooperate with this drama.
On the other hand, there is also a little selfishness involved.
What is the relationship between this beautiful girl and the young master?
Even though Li Youjing is an old lady, her gossipy heart is just as good as that of young people.
Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, Li Youjing has seen a lot of things, but this is the first time he has seen a handsome guy like Yi Haoyan who is young, talented, and has outstanding looks and background.
Of course, she was instinctively curious about Choi Jin-ri, who had a close relationship with him.
As for Jin Zhihao, I am even more curious!
Does he know that Yi Haoyan has a girlfriend?
Now his official girlfriend hasn't recommended anything to him, but instead is helping this Choi Jinri?
For a moment, the man was also a little curious.
…
As for Yi Haoyan, since he has said that Choi Jinri will play the leading female role, he will take responsibility.
This kind of responsibility is not just about ensuring that she gets the female lead role.
The boy is ready to take responsibility to the end.
What is meant by "to the end" is that, from the beginning of preparation, Choi Jin-ri will be with him all the way to complete the production and filming of the entire drama.
Wasn't Mari worried before that she wasn't worthy of this second drama in the now popular Reply series as an idol? Of course I had to help her solve this problem.
Yi Haoyan’s method is very simple.
They get involved from the script writing stage, asking the screenwriter to make the image of the heroine as close to Choi Jin-ri as possible, or to set it to a type suitable for her performance, while ensuring that the plot of the entire drama is not affected.
Then, from the beginning of character creation, the heroine of the drama was given the shadow of Choi Jin-ri, which was basically tailor-made for her. This ensured that Jin-ri could perform very well to the greatest extent without affecting the quality of the entire drama.
In this way, Zhenli will be able to achieve a milestone achievement with this drama, and will not be much worse than Bae Suzy.
The boy knew very well that since he had decided to make Mari the heroine, he had to consider the consequences.
Having no problems within the team does not mean there are no problems at all.
The most direct problem is that once the casting is finally announced, Choi Jin-ri, who is a former idol, will almost certainly become the focus of media attention and fire.
This phenomenal TV series has attracted widespread attention in Korean society, and now CJ Entertainment and tvN TV station are attaching great importance to the second season of the series.
The success of "Reply 1997" made tvN, an unknown cable TV station, famous, and basically rebuilt this small TV station. It is also a bright flagship product for the now troubled CJ Entertainment. Naturally, they will invest important resources in the second drama to strive for success and keep this golden signboard.
In this case, everything will be chosen to be the most suitable and best.
Needless to say, as for the actors, there will naturally be many well-known and talented people joining, and the situation of finding idols to make up the number as before will no longer be allowed.
At times like this, having Choi Jin-ri play the leading female role will be particularly eye-catching.
In the eyes of the media and the public, acting as an idol is a sin. Moreover, Zhenli is not a female idol like Bae Suzy who has successful works. The ratings of her first TV series were not good.
Although the poor performance of "To the Beautiful You" is more due to the subject matter and plot, and has nothing to do with Choi Jin-ri, as an idol with high exposure, she will naturally be used by the media to make articles and take advantage of her.
Now that she is joining a new drama and is among a group of veteran actors, Choi Jin-ri will definitely be considered the weakest one.
Her acting skills will be questioned and attacked.
The best way to fight back in this situation is successful performances and excellent ratings results.
To be honest, Yi Haoyan is not worried about the ratings of the new drama at all, even though the script has not been completed yet.
Because the story's routine and core have been tested by the market, everyone has a clear understanding of the factors for success, and the production team has remained the same and has even been strengthened.
In this case, as long as we continue to produce Reply-type dramas according to the original ideas, there is no reason why they would not be good .
The only thing he needs to ensure is the manifestation of truth.
As long as Jin Li's performance has a little bit of highlights, she can shut up the voices of doubt. Coupled with the success of the entire drama, it can completely reverse the unfavorable situation of the girl being questioned. It can even lay a solid foundation for Jin Li on the path of an actor, just like "101 Architecture" for Bae Suzy.
So the boy put all his attention on this.
This is also the reason why he suggested that Choi Jin-sil meet with Kim Ji-ho and Lee You-jeong first.
Being familiar with the director and screenwriter allowed Zhenli to integrate into the crew earlier, allowing Li Youjing to understand Zhenli's characteristics and create stories and scripts that are more suitable for her. It also allowed Jin Zhihao to become familiar with Zhenli's acting style and better guide her to have a good performance.
With this purpose in mind, the two parties hit it off and agreed to meet in a quiet cafe.
Jin Zhihao, Li Youjing and Yi Haoyan were all very interested and in a good mood.
Only Choi Jin-ri was extremely panicked.
