The national goddess of Korean entertainment

When filming "Secret Garden", Xu Zhiyuan had already started to create her own script.

Although I think my writing is not bad, but when I started writing, I realized that writing scripts is really tasteless.

It's not about writing novels, no matter how beautiful the writing is, it will look a bit dry when used in scripts.

The script does not need those elegant descriptions, and does not need any literary talent in the description of scenes and characters.The only test of writing skills is only dialogue and only dialogue.

A good dialogue can fill in the flaws of a work and make the whole work fuller.Others, such as characters, are fleshed out by actors.

For a really good screenwriter, the most important thing is the plot, good ideas, and good structure, and Xu Zhiyuan is working hard to learn these.

A script, which lasted nearly half a year, changed several drafts, and invited Kim Eun-sook and Chi Soo-hyun to review the drafts for her several times, and finally, the final script was finalized.

It must be said that these two famous screenwriters and novelists are people who treat her kindly. Although they couldn't help laughing when they saw her first draft, they still affirmed her thoughts and taught her what to do. How to write a screenplay.

Sometimes, a momentary good fortune ends up fulfilling oneself in the end.

Xu Zhiyuan has always felt this way when she was preparing her film tentatively titled "Thinking of You".

Independent production, but Seo Ji Won didn't go around fundraising like everyone else.

It must be said that she has made a lot of money in these years. Although most of the money has been distributed by the company, Xu Zhiyuan's current personal assets are still quite considerable.

Although she just spent 50 billion won to buy a high-end apartment in Cheongdam-dong, to Seo Ji-won, that is only part of her assets.

In the previous "Dark Angel of the Last Days", she already pocketed 100 million US dollars in film remuneration alone, and this is not counting the subsequent dividends.Although it was split between the two brokerage companies, the salary is still much higher than in China.

Moreover, this movie does not require that much investment, the investment of 3 million is already enough for the production cost.

After all, this is not a big production of a big company. For many independent films, it is very lucky to get an investment of [-] million.

The shooting equipment can be rented temporarily, and the crew used for shooting requires the help of several directors.

Before, Xu Zhiyuan had asked Feng Junhao for help.Bong Joon-ho has always admired Xu Zhiyuan. Although he did not cooperate again after "Monster", he immediately agreed when Xu Zhiyuan opened his mouth.

From the cameraman to the lowest-level field staff, all the behind-the-scenes team members were introduced by Feng Junhao.

In terms of actors, because the plot itself is relatively simple, not many are needed, and Xu Zhiyuan has already made plans in her heart. Although it has not been finalized, the actors in front of the scene have basically been settled.

In addition to these related preparatory work, there is another very important work to be done.

That is to report to the Film Development Association. In Korea, filmmaking must be filed through the Film Development Association.

Moreover, for most films, in addition to filing, an application for subsidies is also required.

For any movie with an investment of more than [-] million yuan, as long as it passes the relevant application, it has a chance to receive a [-]% subsidy.

Although Xu Zhiyuan didn't particularly look forward to government subsidies, she still filled out the form as the Romans did.

Originally, I wanted to leave after filling out the form, but I didn't expect to meet Section Chief Huang when I left the office.

He should have been waiting for her for a while, Section Chief Huang looked very gentle, and when he saw Xu Zhiyuan, he first smiled.

But such gentleness did not make Xu Zhiyuan forget the power behind him, nor his wrists.

However, even though she was afraid, Xu Zhiyuan still smiled calmly, "Section Chief Huang, you have been waiting for me, right? If so, I will be really flattered."

"Zhiyuanxi deserves it!" Section Chief Huang complimented with a smile: "Now in Korea, Zhiyuanxi is the top actress, the goddess of the nation, I should be honored even if I wait for you. "

"Section Chief Huang is really good at coaxing people..." Xu Zhiyuan accepted the compliment with a smile, but did not relax her vigilance.

Section Chief Huang is not a man who is free to pursue celebrities, unlike those rich second generations who have been sending flowers to Xu Zhiyuan in the past six months, the female stars he has seen, or the female stars who flatter him are far better than those rich rich second generations There are many generations.

Even if Xu Zhiyuan has been praised as a national goddess now, the man behind the scenes is still inseparable from this man. How could he really regard Xu Zhiyuan as a goddess?

Although they haven't discussed it with each other, and the Film Development Association is also manipulating it behind the scenes, Xu Zhiyuan knows very well that there is no reason for it, and half of those rumors are true. Even she will use the "Film Development Association" to praise her. The news is scary.

If such a man had nothing to do, how could he wait for her like this?

Looking at each other, Section Chief Huang smiled, and did not continue to be polite, "Chairman Jin knows you are coming, and wants to meet you very much."

President Kim? !

Xu Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she really became serious.

That old man who looks ordinary, but is enough to make the head of CJ's film department bow down, may be the most powerful man in the Korean film industry.

Although she only met once or twice and did not have a deep friendship, Xu Zhiyuan never dared to belittle her.

When following Huang Kechang into the chairman's room, Xu Zhiyuan was very respectful.

Sometimes, it is necessary to lower your head and bend your waist appropriately. It seems humble, but it is also a kind of politeness.

"Good day, Chairman Kim," Xu Zhiyuan's eyes turned to the old man sitting next to Chairman Jin, and Xu Zhiyuan's smile became more sincere, "Director Lin, it's an honor to see you again."

As a famous director among famous directors, although Lin Quanze has been active in the film industry, he doesn't appear in public anymore.The last time I saw it was at the symposium of the Film Development Association.

It was also because of Lin Quanze's encouragement that Xu Zhiyuan really devoted himself to the work of making movies.

Seo Ji Won sincerely admires this old man who has been contributing to the development of Korean films. She respects talent and dedication more than power.

Although it is also respectful, an old fox like President Jin can still feel the obvious discrimination.

But he wasn't angry, he looked at Xu Zhiyuan with gentle eyes, and even teased Lim Quanze, "Dude, if I can get the sincere respect of so many juniors like you, this life will not be in vain."

"Did you get too little?" Lin Quanze asked back with a smile. Obviously, he had reached the point of familiarity and informality. Lin Quanze spoke very casually. After saying this, he ignored Chairman Jin and directly Turn to Xu Zhiyuan.

"Jiwon, I heard you're going to start an independent film?"

"Yes, I just made the filing." Xu Zhiyuan answered frankly, facing this great director who cared about the younger generation, Xu Zhiyuan didn't think about hiding anything.

"I would also like to thank Director Lin. If you hadn't encouraged me, maybe I wouldn't have dared to try it lightly."

"It's a good thing to dare to try. Not many people succeed in the first film." Lin Quanze encouraged with a smile, and then asked with a smile: "Do you need a producer? If necessary, I can help."

In addition to being a director, Lin Quanze has also worked as a producer, but the producers he is in charge of are all big productions and famous directors. Xu Zhiyuan's first film is an independent film. Lin Quanze actually volunteered to ask for help. I thought about giving her a hug.

Although I feel a little ashamed, Xu Zhiyuan will naturally not refuse such a good deed.Not only did he not refuse, he even beat the snake to the stick, begging Lin Quanze to help introduce an assistant director to her.

Writing, directing and acting on her own, she needs an assistant director who can be consistent with her and keep an eye on the set while she is acting.

Lin Quanze, she really didn't dare to make such a request.Even if Lin Quanze was the producer, she never thought that Lin Quanze would spend every day with her on the set. After all, she was old, and she didn't want Lin Quanze to work too hard.

Lin Quanze also understood what she meant, and didn't care. Instead, he pinched his fingers to name the places one by one, and turned his head from time to time to ask President Jin for his opinion.

In the end, I really found an assistant director for Xu Zhiyuan.Naturally, it's not those big directors who have already become famous, but a young director who graduated less than five years ago.

I haven't directed any dramas formally, and I have been working as an assistant director on various sets to learn and practice, and even have done set management.

"Although he has never directed before, this young man has rich experience and a good personality, so he will get along with you." Before Xu Zhiyuan agreed, Lin Quanze had already turned to take the phone at Mr. Kim's desk, "I will call someone to find him now. , Well, just today, the two of you have a meal and have a good talk."

"You, why are you still in such a hurry?" President Jin shook his head, looked at Xu Zhiyuan, but smiled: "Zhiyuanxi, actually, I want to see you these days. There is something I want to formally report to you." You extend an invitation."

Here comes the business!

Xu Zhiyuan smiled without any hesitation, "It's my honor that the president asked me to do something."

President Jin was very satisfied with her attitude, and she did not go around the bush. President Jin said directly: "That's right, I would like to invite you to be the image spokesperson for this year's Busan International Film Festival, as well as the host at the closing ceremony. Hope you can do it."

"I have never been a host..." Just a hesitation, Xu Zhiyuan still nodded with a smile, and said directly: "Okay, although I have no experience, I will try my best to do well."

As early as 08, when she won the Berlin Film Queen, Xu Zhiyuan had understood one thing: don't refuse when the Film Development Association asks you to do something.

It's not that they submit to power, but because they are the common foundation of mutual benefit and mutual benefit at any time.

She helps the Film Development Association, and the Film Development Association will also help her, just like the unique status she is promoted in South Korea, isn't it also due to the Film Development Association?

A group is always stronger than an individual.

After having lunch with Lin Quanze and the director Wu he had found, Xu Zhiyuan checked the time and took the nanny car to Four Seasons Hotel.

In the coffee shop there, she made an appointment with someone early in the morning, and that person, if nothing else happened, would be the leading man in her movie.
