The national goddess of Korean entertainment

"I still think a crew cut would be better—what do you think, Emma!"

Although there is a casting director, the director Seo Ji-won and the producer Emma are the ones who finally decided on the main roles.

Needless to say, the heroine, as early as when adapting the script, Green had already changed the role to a mixed American-Korean, who was born in three generations of Korean-American.

As for the role of the Korean-American father, Seo Ji-won did not hand it over to the casting director to choose in the United States, but directly invited Song Kang-ho from Korea.In "Han River Monster" before, Song Kanghao played Seo Ji-won's father.

Although they never worked together again, the personal relationship between the two is still very good, and although Song Kanghao is not handsome, his acting skills are genuinely natural and have a personal style. Seo Jiwon is very relieved to have such an uncle to play the role of father.

However, it is also a coincidence that in Song Kanghao's 13-year filming plan, there is a new film "Snowpiercer" with Bong Junhao. When Xu Zhiyuan invited him, Song Kanghao had just agreed to Bong Junhao.

However, Bong Joon-ho was not angry because of Seo Ji-won's sudden intervention, and even joked that if he wanted Song Kang-ho to take part in the filming of Seo Ji-won's movie, then Seo Ji-won would have to exchange it with herself.

It just so happens that Bong Joon-ho’s movie also has a daughter role. Bong Joon-ho really hopes that Seo Ji-won can play this role, recreating the father-daughter role in “Han River Monster”.

Xu Zhiyuan readily agreed to this request.He even took the initiative not to ask for a salary, and completely cameo.

Her fame is due to "Han River Monster", and the initial concept of filming was also instilled in her by Bong Joon-ho. For this famous Korean director, Seo Ji-won has always been grateful for the opportunity to cooperate again. It was also something she was happy to accept.

It was decided twice. First, Song Kanghao will participate in Xu Zhiyuan's movie, and then Xu Zhiyuan will participate in the filming of "Snowpiercer". This year, the two will play father and daughter twice.

Song Kanghao didn't have a lot of roles. Xu Zhiyuan hired such an experienced and well-known Korean actor in the United States to play the role. Emma was completely meaningless, but when it came to the male lead, the two had a little disagreement.

Among the casting directors, there were five young actors who made it to the second round.

Seo Ji-won's preference is Dylan O'Brien, whom she met at the Saturn Awards.

And the casting director preferred Ansel Elgort, a rookie who was five years younger than Xu Zhiyuan, but although he was young, he was really tall, 1.93 meters tall, which was completely different from Xu Zhiyuan She doesn't look younger than Seo Ji Won.

However, this is not the reason why Xu Zhiyuan did not choose him, and it is not even the main reason why he only starred in a movie "Carrie" that has not yet been released.

Seo Ji Won didn't choose him because she really felt that Dylan was more suitable for that role.

"If I were Heather, I would choose Dylan, although he is a little short."

Fortunately, Dylan was not in front of her, otherwise this sentence would probably really make him very sad.

But there is no way, Dylan is indeed short, only 1.78, less than 1.8 meters, slightly shorter than Kim Soo Hyun by a knuckle.

Not to mention Ansel, but compared with Lee Min Ho and the others, they are far behind.

But acting is not just based on size, or even on face.

We met once before, and Seo Ji-won has also watched "Teen Wolf". She really likes Dylan's performance and thinks he is perfectly qualified for the role of Augustus.

Although not that tall, Xu Zhiyuan thinks performance is more important than appearance.

Because of Xu Zhiyuan's persistence, another interview was finally conducted. In the final interview, Dylan finally won the role of Gus with his excellent performance.

At this time, the Oscar Awards Ceremony had already ended. After the Golden Globe Awards, Jennifer won the Academy Award for Best Actress, becoming a veritable double actress.

This made Joan miss Xu Zhiyuan for a long time, but Xu Zhiyuan didn't care so much.

Although it is inevitable that someone will mention Xu Zhiyuan's name when the major media are rushing to report that Jennifer, a post-90s generation, won the championship, but Xu Zhiyuan took those things as nothing.

"Incomparably Wonderful Pain" was officially named "The Fault in Our Stars" after the adaptation, and the official shooting time has been set in May, with San Francisco and Amsterdam in the Netherlands selected as the shooting location.

Before filming, Xu Zhiyuan's most important job was not to write her storyboard script as a director, although she was doing this job every day and was perfecting it every day.

Rather, she wants to adjust her state to the most suitable state as an actor.

Although it seems that this is just a simple low-cost movie, Xu Zhiyuan regards this movie as her baby.Like "Thinking of You," they were like her children, and she wanted to make them as good as possible.

In the months before the shooting, she often appeared in the hospital, and there were some non-governmental communication organizations. She talked with doctors, cancer patients, and family members. She even met in the hospital. A cute little girl.

Like Heather, the girl was only 14 years old and was already dying of lung cancer.

When she saw Xu Zhiyuan, the girl yelled loudly, not by Xu Zhiyuan's name, but "Mai Si". She said that she was a fan of Xu Zhiyuan. Although Xu Zhiyuan did not win the Oscar, she still liked her.

In this case, Xu Zhiyuan has seen a lot on Twitter, but she is still happy because of the girl's words.

Hearing that Xu Zhiyuan was going to play Heather, the girl smiled brightly, and said that if she could have a real relationship like Heather, then she would feel that she would die without regrets.

Facing the girl, Xu Zhiyuan's heart was sore, and she didn't even know how to answer.

"Lisa, when the movie comes out, how about I invite you to the premiere?"

"Really?" Lisa opened her eyes wide and smiled so contentedly at that moment.

Live like Heather, to experience the shock she once felt. If it weren't for the crazy idea that the doctor agreed with her, Xu Zhiyuan even wanted to try chemotherapy.

Her thoughts frightened Li Meihua and Qiong.

Joan called Zhang Hui directly, and within an hour, Xu Zhiyuan saw Zhang Hui whose eyes were swollen from crying.

Facing Zhang Hui who was crying bitterly, Xu Zhiyuan could only swear that she would never have such crazy thoughts again.

She even ate a sumptuous meal with Zhang Hui who thought she was too thin, but after eating this meal, Xu Zhiyuan vomited out all the food she ate by holding her throat in the bathroom.

She needs to look like Heather, and while she doesn't have to be skinny, she doesn't want to rely solely on her makeup skills to make her look like Heather.

What she wants is not just the appearance, but that she is Heather.

In April, before the filming started, Xu Zhiyuan received guests who came from Korea.

We agreed to treat him to a big meal, but after we met, Kim Soo Hyun turned cold.

"What the hell are you doing?" Kim Soo Hyun was angry and angry looking at Xu Zhiyuan, who had lost her sharp jaw.

Xu Zhiyuan just laughed, "You see, I'm preparing to film, just like when filming "Syberger's Love"."

Although he mentioned filming, Kim Soo-hyun, who aims to become an excellent actor, did not have a sense of identity, but stared at Seo Ji-won, "It's crazy——"

"Okay! My Shidi, didn't you work hard for the movie? I heard that you played a fool last year and rolled around in the pigsty..."

"Who said that?" Kim Soo-hyun stared, wanting to yell at someone, but he was still defeated by Xu Zhiyuan, "Forget it, I won't talk about you..." Turning around, Kim Soo-hyun turned away with the phone, "Hi, yes Me, do something for me, um, yes, I want to buy some red ginseng, send it to - Xu Zhiyuan, address!"

"Stinky boy, don't you know?" Xu Zhiyuan rolled her eyes, glanced at Zhang Taeyo who hadn't spoken since entering the door, and couldn't help blushing.

After saluting, she smiled and invited Zhang Taiyou to drink tea, "It's been a long time since I saw you, Director Zhang, I'm really sorry to let you see such a thing—well, it's because I'm too familiar with you, so it's like this..."

"No, very good..." Zhang Taiyou's eyes were shining.

After "War of Money", Seo Ji Won and Jang Tae Yoo have not worked together again.

At that time, Xu Zhiyuan was just a rookie trying to stand up again, but now, she is already a world-renowned actress, especially in Korea, and she is an irreplaceable national goddess.

It can be said that Seo Ji Won gave Jang Tae Yoo a very different feeling when they met this time.

It seemed that the lovely little sister back then, that hard-working and somewhat cautious girl, had been reborn into another person.

Although I have seen it in public before, but this feeling that Seo Ji Won has become another person is still very strong.

Moreover, Xu Zhiyuan and Kim Soo Hyun's way of getting along is really great - this is exactly what he wants to see.

"Jiwon, I won't beat around the bush. That's it. I have a play written by Park Ji-eun. Now, the male lead has been decided, and it will be played by Soo Hyun. After he read the script, , I think the heroine is very suitable for you, so he recommended you to me. I also hope that you can play the role-"

Zhang Taiyou paused for a moment before saying: "I watched "The Thieves" before, and I think the character of the heroine in this TV series is somewhat similar to your character there, but now, I firmly believe that only you can play this role. Role."

Not feeling too excited, Seo Ji Won just smiled, "Writer Park Ji Eun? I like her "Queen of Reversal". Senior Park Si Hoo really made a big comeback."

Looking at Zhang Taiyou, she was very honest: "Director Zhang, my last schedule is already full, I don't know what your drama is..."

"It's okay, this drama is in winter."

With a flicker of eyes, Xu Zhiyuan looked back at Kim Soo Hyun who was looking at him, and pondered for a moment, "Why don't you leave the script and I'll make a decision after reading it—is that okay?"

Although she is satisfied with the screenwriter and director, as well as her partner, Seo Ji-won will not make a decision easily now.

Jang Tae Yoo did not refuse. After leaving the script, he said frankly that he would stay in the United States for two days, and hoped that Seo Ji Won could reply before he returned to China.

It is already a great sincerity for a director to come to the United States to invite actors. Xu Zhiyuan is not an arrogant person, so she naturally agreed to this request.

Director Zhang and Kim Soo Hyun were invited to dinner. Seo Ji Won wanted to go back to the apartment alone to read the script, but Kim Soo Hyun kept her.

In the dark, the two drove to Hollywood Boulevard together. Xu Zhiyuan specially wore a wig and black sunglasses, but Kim Soo Hyun was very natural and did not make any cover up.

"Even if I stand here and yell loudly, maybe no one will come around." It was self-deprecating and emotional.

Although Kim Soo Hyun has been a new male star in South Korea since the beginning of last year, his popularity on the other side of the ocean is still very low.

Crouching down, he compared his handprints with Leonardo's, and then looked up at Xu Zhiyuan with a smile.

"Zhiyuan, do you think we will be able to leave our fingerprints here one day?"

"I definitely will!" Xu Zhiyuan raised her eyebrows, squatted down, smiled and touched Kim Soo Hyun, "How is it? Do you want to shake the real person's hand?"

Shaking his head, Kim Soo Hyun raised his eyebrows with a smile, "One day I will shake hands with this big star, but it will not be introduced by you. Sooner or later, I will also have a starry sky of my own in this dream land."

"Wow, are you going to move to Europe and America already?"

Asked by Xu Zhiyuan, Kim Soo Hyun laughed, "Soon—I will definitely come, Jiwon, wait for me until then."

"Okay!" Xu Zhiyuan smiled brightly, without any perfunctory meaning.

Meeting her gaze, Kim Soo Hyun also laughed, leaning closer to her, he touched her forehead with his forehead, and said with a smile, "You know what? When I saw that script, my first thought was you—seriously." , if you read the script, you will be surprised. Has Writer Park seen what you look like at home? It’s written so much like..."

"Hey, are you belittling me or praising me?"

"What do you think?" Kim Soo Hyun laughed, jumped up before Xu Zhiyuan stretched out her hand, and ran away.

What a nasty guy, actually making fun of people like this!

However, Seo Ji-won couldn't help laughing when she returned to the apartment and opened the script.

Although there are only the first four episodes, the character design of this play is really...

After closing the script, she couldn't help laughing as she looked at the words on the cover.

"You Who Came from the Stars looks very interesting!"
