The national goddess of Korean entertainment

When receiving a call from Bong Joon Ho, she thought he had already returned to China, and Seo Ji Won was very excited. After greeting her, she immediately asked if she was going to start a promotional activity.

God knows, during the six months of rest, she felt that she was about to grow hairy with idleness.Although I actually learn a lot at school every day, and my life is fulfilling and beautiful, but without a job, it seems that something is missing, and it is still the most important part of my life.

Hearing her impatient voice, Bong Joon-ho immediately burst into laughter, "Girl, you want to work so much?! Just right, I have a good job introduction for you..."

When she hung up the phone, Xu Zhiyuan was still a little dizzy.

Just now, Director Bong Joon Ho said that he recommended her to Director Park Chan Wook—is that so? !

"Park Chan-wook?!" Kim Dae-jong couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Although the first movie was with Bong Joon Ho, hearing Park Chan Wook's name still makes people feel shocked.

In Korea, there are not many directors who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Bong Joon-ho, and Park Chan-wook is one of them.

In 2000, "Common Vigilance Area" put Park Chan-wook among the big-name directors.The subsequent "Trilogy of Revenge" made him a famous director in South Korea.

Two months ago, Xu Zhiyuan had just finished watching the last part of the "Revenge Trilogy", "Kindly Gold", and those shocking scenes are still vivid in her mind.

It is strange that these two great directors are competitors and friends for many years.Moreover, in art, the eyes are surprisingly similar.After filming "I Want Vengeance", Park Chan-wook originally aimed at the adaptation rights of the stage play "Memories of Murder", but when asked, he was told that the copyright had been bought by Bong Joon-ho a few years ago.That "Memories of Murder" allowed Bong Joon-ho to dominate the 40th Grand Bell Awards and became the most eye-catching movie in the Korean film industry that year.

After that, Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho asked Bong Joon-ho what kind of subject matter he liked, and Bong Joon-ho answered "Japanese manga old boys", so this time Park Chan-wook took the lead and bought the copyright to shoot the classic "Old Boys". , not only repeatedly won awards in South Korea in 04, but also won the jury award in Cannes.

Some people say that Feng Junhao is "Korea's Zhang Yimou", and Park Chan-wook is "Korea's Wu Yusen", no, he is not Wu Yusen, but "Korea's Quentin".

With the same violent aesthetics, Park Chan-wook's style is darker, and some even call him "the darkest guy in Korea".

Such a director actually has a role for her to play!

"Wow, even if I play the one who was killed by revenge, no matter how miserable the death is, I must play..."

The determination was firm, but it turned out that Seo Ji Won was thinking too much.

Park Chan-wook, who has always been dark, wants to make a movie this time—a romance movie!

Who would believe it? !What will Park Chan-wook's romance film look like?

When receiving the call from Park Chan-wook, Xu Zhiyuan felt dazed.

She couldn't think of what Park Chan-wook's romance movies would look like, probably, just like Park Chan-wook couldn't imagine that she actually accepted the recommendation and met her, a little newcomer.

"I'm worried that you're too young. To be honest, if it wasn't for Junhao's strong recommendation, I wouldn't have met you."

In terms of age, Park Chan-wook is six years older than Bong Joon-ho, but compared to the gentle Bong Joon-ho, Park Chan-wook is full of vigor. Perhaps, such different personalities are the key to the completely different film styles of the two?

"Director Park, I know I'm young—" Smiling, Xu Zhiyuan said playfully: "Of course, when I met Director Bong Joon Ho, he thought I was too mature—what should I do! My current age is like this It's embarrassing, either I think I'm old or I'm young—I can't change my age, but I can guarantee that those who choose me will forget my age in the end!"

Park Chan-wook ran his fingers up and down the bridge of his nose, looked at Seo Ji-won from behind his fingers, and suddenly, he burst out laughing, "Jun-ho is right, you are such a funny girl! Well, you are really mature-you know how he Tell me! Although you are young, you can no longer be called a child star, because you already have the qualities of an actress..."

"Whether you can really be called an actress, I don't know yet, but you do look much more mature than your actual age, at least more mature than my daughter."

The conversation suddenly changed, Park Chan-wook leaned closer, stared into Xu Zhiyuan's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "I want to know, what do you think of mental patients?"

mental illness? !

Xu Zhiyuan was a little confused, didn't she say that she wanted to make a romance film?Why did it go around to mental illness again!Is it still inseparable from the love of revenge?

"Well, let me be frank, I don't talk about mentally ill patients anymore, generally speaking, people with mental disorders..."

Seeing that Park Chan Wook just said "Oh" and still stared at her, Xu Zhiyuan unconsciously licked her lips.

She didn't know why Park Chan-wook asked this question, did this question affect whether she could get this role? !Just asking a question like this?Instead of letting her act?Is this an audition? !

She chose her words carefully, but she didn't know what kind of answer would satisfy Park Chan-wook.

"There was a time when I was told that I had a psychological barrier - because of certain things, I received psychological counseling..." She raised her head and met Park Chan-wook's scrutinizing gaze, she smiled slightly, "It was a long time ago, I almost forgot However, because of this, I have read some related books. I remember that it said that the so-called mental disorders are diseases that are mentally incompetent and behave differently from ordinary people.”

She laughed mockingly, "It's so interesting. It's different from ordinary people. If a person is different from most people, he will be considered a mental disorder. Because his behavior is different, he is sick. People are disgusted and afraid of being with themselves. People who are different, but they have never thought about getting to know them. They don't know that people they think are sick actually have their own thoughts, even if they are weird, but that weirdness is a kind of truth to them ...Ah, I'm sorry, I may take it for granted. But, I just think that even people with mental disorders actually have their own joys, sorrows and joys. Their world may not be understood by others, but they enjoy themselves— ——There is a Chinese saying that goes well, 'A child is not a fish, how can he know the joy of a fish', I think this is probably the relationship between ordinary people and patients with mental disorders!"

Looking at Park Chan-wook, she paused, and then continued: "I think, sir, there are many people who don't like your movies that much. People who like them can see life, philosophy, and the truth hidden under despair. A glimmer of hope, those who don't like it will only see darkness, gloom, and disgusting haze..."

"Ah, you can just say that someone called me a pervert and an anti-social personality—but I swear, this time it's really a romance movie..." Park Zanyu laughed, and said very calmly, "This In the world, no one is bound to like you! It’s not dollars, how could everyone like you!”

In a word, Xu Zhiyuan also laughed.

Although sharp, Park Chan-wook's dark personality is completely different from those of the protagonists in the movie.

Looking at the watch on his wrist, Park Chan-wook said with a smile: "Zhiyuanxi, it's a pleasure to chat with you, no matter what, I will call you..."

Park Chan-wook just stood up, and Kim Dae-jong at the cafe in the distance also stood up.

Although they came to the appointment together, because Park Chan-wook asked to talk alone, Kim Dae-jong and Park Chan-wook's assistant sat in the seat not far away.

It is said to be an audition, but in fact, it cannot be regarded as a real audition, right?Choosing to be in such a cafe full of literary and artistic atmosphere is like a private chat.

When leaving the cafe, Kim Dae Jong couldn't help asking: "How is it?"

"Well, what do you think?!" Xu Zhiyuan asked back, staring at Jin Dazhong and waiting for his answer.

"Well, I heard Director Park laughing..." After saying this, Kim Dae Jong also fell silent. Apart from thinking that the conversation was okay, he actually didn't reveal anything, right?

They didn't know whether Park Chan-wook was satisfied with her or not.

"Alas..." With a sigh, Xu Zhiyuan suddenly stopped and turned to look at the woman who just passed her by.

Feel so familiar...

Turning around, she looked at the woman who was walking into the cafe, and muttered, "Brother Da Zhong, do you think that woman looks like Lin Xiujing?!"

"You mean that Lim Soo-jung?" Kim Dae-jong's eyes widened, and he muttered in a low voice, "Oh no, did you come to see director Park Chan-wook?"

Is there any other reason besides this?

She remembered reading a report before, saying that Lin Xiujing had just finished filming the movie "Sugar Cube", and if Park Chan-wook chose her, the schedule would be just right.

Sudden depression.

Lin Xiujing is different from her. Since entering the industry in 01, her star journey has been smooth. She won numerous awards for "Rose Flower and Red Lotus".

If she were Park Chan-wook, she would choose an actress who is already famous and her acting skills are affirmed!

"Big..." Seeing no one when looking back, Xu Zhiyuan raised her eyebrows strangely, "No way!" She quickly turned back to the cafe and saw Jin Dazhong behind a tall bonsai without any surprise.

Not daring to call out loudly, Xu Zhiyuan knelt down and walked over step by step, "Brother Dazhong, it's very bad for you..."

"I just want to see if I'm really here to see Director Park..." Jin Dazhong replied in a low voice, and motioned Xu Zhiyuan to look over.

"Even if you don't look at it, you know it must be..." Although he said this, he still couldn't help but take a look.

Still in the seat she had just sat in, Park Chan-wook was raising his head and laughing, and seemed to be having a good chat with Lin Xiujing, who had his back to this side.

Really—why watch it? !I feel like this is really...

Turning her head to look at the waiter who was staring at them strangely, Xu Zhiyuan became a little annoyed, "Let's go! Brother Da Zhong..."

No matter what Jin Dazhong left, she ran out of the cafe and stood on the road before she let out a long breath.

It seems that she is a little far away from the role she wants-it feels like a balloon that is out of hand, flying farther and farther.

"Zhiyuan, don't get too angry!" Kim Dae-jong patted her on the shoulder, thought for a while, and said, "I'll call Director Park's assistant again and make an appointment—maybe he'll give it to you again." Our one chance..."

"His assistant won't arrange it." Directly refusing Kim Dae-jong, Seo Ji-won shrugged with a smile, "I'm not a big star like Lee Young-ae, how could I ask him to save face and arrange to meet Director Park! However, some people Even Director Park will give you face..."

"You said Senior Bong - I'll call Senior Bong?" Kim Dae Jong hesitated, "He's not in Korea, it's not good..."

"There are other people besides Director Feng," Xu Zhiyuan raised her eyebrows, walked across the road, stood on the side of the road, looked at the cafe, and dialed the phone. As soon as the call was connected, she immediately called out: "Abba ..."

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a long time before he realized, "It's Zhiyuan! This girl scared me to death—fortunately it wasn't your aunt who answered the phone."

With a smile, Xu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Uncle, you are so afraid of your wife and not afraid of people's jokes!"

"What's so funny, it's a good thing to be afraid of your wife - tell me! Girl, what are you doing on the phone? I don't believe that you girl just called to make fun of uncle..."

Although half a year has passed since the filming of "Han River Monster", the feelings cultivated by the crew for more than three months have not changed.

Xu Zhiyuan didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Uncle, I want to treat you to dinner—but I hope you can bring me a guest..."

Song Kanghao was silent for a moment before asking: "Who is the guest?"

"Director Park Chan-wook."

Just after Xu Zhiyuan finished speaking, Song Kanghao had already realized, "The romance movie that is being planned..."

It seems that the circle has spread.That's right, the whole thing is so big, what can be hidden from people?

"Uncle, this is very important to me—" she whispered, but she didn't want to pester her. "If it's not convenient for you to come forward..."

"No problem," Song Kanghao said before she did, "I'll decide the location, um, but there may be a few more guests at that time."

"Okay, I'm fine." A bird was about to fly out of her chest, and Xu Zhiyuan was still smiling when she hung up the phone.

Although she didn't know what the final result would be, she won a second chance for herself—it was just that Song Kanghao could only help her meet Park Chan-wook, and whether she could catch this opportunity was up to her!
