Volume 5 2013 Chapter 924 I Recommend Zheng Xiujing
Since we have agreed to meet, of course the sooner the better.
The next day, Yi Haoyan met the writer himself.
Kim Eun-sook, born in 1973, is 40 years old this year, but looks younger than imagined. She looks to be in her early thirties. She has shoulder-length hair, wears round black-framed glasses, and has a very kind face.
"I didn't expect Young Master Yi to be so young! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed my eyes. A work like Reply 1997 was actually created by a high school student."
After meeting through Sun Eun-hee's introduction, the legendary female writer looked at Yi Haoyan with shining eyes.
"Thank you, Writer Jin. The script was written by Li Youjingnu, and I was just involved in it."
"Don't be modest. I've asked screenwriter Li. She did write the story, but you set the ideas and direction. We scriptwriters know that the subject matter and core of the story are the most important. Master Yi's talent is indeed well-deserved! I was even more surprised to see him in person. Miss Enxi really doesn't plan to let Master Yi play a role? With such good looks, he is simply at the level of a top actor."
Regardless of whether it is a compliment or not, Kim Eun-sook is qualified to make such an evaluation.
She is a big-name screenwriter who has worked with Hyun Bin and Jang Dong-gun, and has met so many handsome actors.
"I have no problem with that. He himself is not interested."
Son Eun-hee seemed to be very familiar with Kim Eun-sook and spoke very casually.
"I'm still more interested in behind the scenes, so forget about acting."
The boy quickly declined. He really had no interest in stage work.
"Oh my god, what a pity."
Kim Eun-sook took another close look at Yi Haoyan's appearance, with a look of regret on her face.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss things, so the boy simply got straight to the point.
"This time the topic is about chaebols, so I would like to ask Master Yi to see if there is anything else I can pay attention to and help improve the outline and direction."
Kim Eun-sook doesn't beat around the bush either.
“This, I’m actually an amateur…”
The new drama in the Reply series is Yi Haoyan’s key project.
The boy was not very interested in Kim Eun-sook's chaebol romance drama, and naturally did not want to get involved. This time, they just met to chat for the sake of his sister, so it was impossible for him to participate in it.
"Don't say such things! Talent cannot be hidden, and Master Yi is from a real top chaebol family, so he is the most suitable person to do this."
Uncle Jin En was very persistent and didn't care about the boy's verbal refusal.
Now that she could meet someone, she didn't plan to return empty-handed.
"I think everything else is good, but I think the succession of the second generation needs more description, and the pressure and motivation they face should be shown through different people at different levels and in different industries. This will make it seem more realistic."
After taking a look at Sun Enxi, Yi Haoyan had to say something to appease her.
He really wasn't that interested in the show.
"Master Yi, are you talking about beautification and whitewashing?"
“…”
The boy was a little surprised by Kim Eun-sook's straightforwardness.
"In traditional Korean dramas, the second generation of chaebols are all brainless, impulsive, irritable, proud and incompetent, but we all know that the real successors are not like this. Let's not talk about the distant past. The two people in front of me are truly outstanding, so I want to add such elements to the love story and create a relatively three-dimensional image of the second generation of chaebols. I would like to ask for your help in this regard. Although everyone seems to assume that the second generation of chaebols are not very good people, this is not the case. As for whether the audience can accept such a setting, it is not a matter of facts, but a matter of filming techniques and storytelling level."
The legendary female writer talks freely.
"What kind of personality and role can be accepted by people? In fact, it does not depend on the character itself, but on the angle from which people see it. If the angle of entry is appropriate enough, any role will have characteristics that people can recognize. This is not only a matter of character creation, but also due to the way of publicity. As long as the story is exciting enough, the unpleasant image of the second generation of chaebols will also change. I believe Master Yi must be very clear about this."
Kim Eun-sook's words left Yi Haoyan speechless.
That's exactly the case.
Entertainment, media, publicity and education are actually various aspects of a cultural complex.
Even from a historical perspective, the truth of a matter is often not the most widely circulated form, but this does not prevent the distorted facts from continuing to spread.
Because in the various processing and shaping processes of communication, the truth is no longer important.
What is important is the guidance of the communicator and the psychological needs of the recipient.
What the audience ultimately accepts is not the truth they "think" it is, but the truth that the communicator wants them to "think" it is.
This is the essence of propaganda.
…
…
Since the other party was so professional, Yi Haoyan didn't want to continue to be perfunctory. That would be too rude.
"If you want everyone to accept these changes, you must stay close to the feelings and perspectives of ordinary people, and add details and content that people can empathize with. In fact, the lives of the second generation of chaebols are much better than those of ordinary people, except that they are much better than ordinary people in terms of material things. In fact, they have no less joys, sorrows, anger, and life pressures. Succession is not an easy thing. The probability of failure of the second generation of chaebols is no less than that of ordinary people, but the second generation has more opportunities to choose. Screenwriter Kim can start from this aspect."
The boy's advice is also directional.
For a writer of Kim Eun-sook's level, as long as the direction is determined, she will take care of the specific details herself and there is no need to explain them in detail.
"Master Yi, do you have any suitable actors to recommend?"
Kim Eun-sook nodded and asked another question.
"Eh? Are you asking me this? I don't understand actors."
This question really made the boy feel embarrassed.
"Just pick another one like Jung Eun-ji. I believe Master Yi's vision is correct."
Kim Eun-sook seems to have great confidence in Yi Ho-yeon.
I don’t know whether he is really confident or just showing off to Sun Eun-hee.
However, no matter what the reason was, she was doing a favor by asking.
Kim Eun-sook will use anyone that Yi Haoyan recommends.
This is a means of building closer relations, and of course it can also be said to be a gesture of goodwill.
"This... the ones I know are all idols. I don't really know anything about actors."
Yi Haoyan didn't know why Jin Enshu wanted to show her kindness to him, but looking at Sun Enxi's reaction, it seemed that everything was within her expectations.
"Idols are fine too. Idols like Suzy are also good at acting."
Kim Eun-sook seems to be determined to build connections, even if it means giving away a role in a popular TV series.
"Um……"
Since it was arranged by Sister Enxi, it would be bad to refuse.
"Then I would recommend Krystal Jung~ She can play the role of a chaebol lady."
