The national goddess of Korean entertainment

"Seo Ji-won applies for Chung-Ang University".

The post about Park Shin Hye and Xu Zhiyuan applying for Central University at the same time became popular on the Internet overnight, but within 24 hours, the number of hits has exceeded [-].

Many people are pity Seo Ji Won, thinking that it is a pity that she did not apply for Seoul National University with her grades.

This time, Seo Ji-won did not respond positively, but Kim Dae-jong came forward and left a message on her official website of bof, thanking everyone for their love for Seo Chi-won, but as an actress, Seo Chi-won chose the most suitable academy for her.Please continue to pay attention to Xu Zhiyuan, she will work harder in the future to become an excellent actress.

Half a month after taking the exam, Chung-Ang University released the rankings, Seo Ji-won and Park Shin-hye were at the top, and Kim Soo-hyun was on the list even though she was at the bottom.

After checking the list, Kim Soo Hyun patted his chest straight, and invited Xu Zhiyuan to have a big meal without Xu Zhiyuan's urging, "The money I won last time is almost spent, next time, don't let me do it again." It's your treat."

"Really, hello, big man, didn't you say that you would be very nice to my friend? You only had a few meals!" She yelled fiercely, but Xu Zhiyuan was actually very considerate of Kim Soo Hyun.

He just made his debut, and the company Kim Soo Hyun works for is a small company, so he didn't get many opportunities for him.Seo Ji Won and Bae Yong Joon recommended Kim Soo Hyun, but Bae Yong Joon didn't accept new recruits so easily, the answer he gave her was just "observation", he didn't immediately agree to sign Kim Soo Hyun.

This is not surprising, business is business, even if you are a literary and art worker, you will never see a rabbit or a hawk.A brokerage company is like this, and so is a crew.

When receiving the new script from Kim Dae Jong, Seo Ji Won was a little surprised.

Although her fame has become popular again recently, because of the rumored nude scenes in "Beautiful", not many scripts were sent to Kim Dae Jong.

A few of them are straight up pornographic.Kim Dae Jong didn't even hand over such a large-scale, action-only film with very little plot, so he just disposed of it.

Now Kim Dae Jong is not as fearful as before, relying on the bof behind him, when he refuses people, he is as happy as saying "I don't eat mixed sauce noodles today", even if the company that handed over the script has a gangster background.

In the Korean film industry, there are many companies with unclean backgrounds. In order to launder money, most of them make such pornographic films that do not require too much investment and return funds quickly.

If it was before, Jin Dazhong might have been frightened, but now, he refuses all of them, and there is no room for negotiation.

After passing the test of Jin Daezhong, the films sent to Xu Zhiyuan have already been screened, but before this new script, none of them moved Xu Zhiyuan's heart.

When she got the new script, Xu Zhiyuan was immediately tempted just by looking at the name.

She had heard of this TV series before.But at that time, it was just a plan.There is only a rough story, and a possible male lead, the others have not yet been finalized.

For a script, the most attractive thing for an actor is naturally the character and the storyline, but apart from that, it also depends on the director and partner.

Leaving aside the director of this drama, Xu Zhiyuan's heart can't be suppressed just by talking about the partner.

Before that, the male protagonist of this drama that has been rumored was none other than Lee Jun-ki, who was popular all the way from 06 to 07.And this drama is a costume drama that Xu Zhiyuan has never acted in. It is based on the work of cartoonist Gao Yurong, the comic "Iljimae" of the same name.

Although I haven't read the original book, Xu Zhiyuan probably knows some of the plot of this drama. This is a story about a generation of thieves Iljimae.

In fact, the original shape of Yizhimei comes from Chinese novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are stories about Yizhimei in "Second Moment Surprise" and "Happy Enemy". Comics characters, and now they are going to be made into TV dramas.

If the leading actor of this drama is really Lee Jun Ki as previously advertised, Seo Ji Won will have more confidence in this drama.

Among other things, Lee Jun-ki has a good vision in choosing scripts.Just like when he chose "The King's Man".Playing a daughter-like gay is no less important to a male actor than a female actress playing a revealing nude scene.

Because of thinking like this, Xu Zhiyuan already has a good impression of this drama before reading the script.After reading the script, she became even more interested in the role she was about to play.

In this play, the heroine Bian Encai is a shrewd and capable woman. Compared with those noble ladies of the same generation, she has her own thoughts and is braver.

She was the first woman to develop the hotel industry in the Joseon Dynasty. She ran the hotel in the name of her father and used the money from the operation to help the poor in secret. She was a kind and brave woman.

This role can be said to be very pleasing, not only in the play, but also outside the play, such a role is also very popular with the audience.

Compared with movies, most of the people who watch TV series are housewives. In contrast, kind and lovely characters are far more popular with audiences than coquettish and sexy characters.

"Brother Da Zhong, what did the other party say? Do you really want to invite me to play the leading role?"

It's not that Xu Zhiyuan is not confident, but that in her new movie that has just finished and has not been screened yet, the role she plays is not a role that housewives will like. At this time, inviting her to star in this TV series is a big deal for the crew of "Yizhimei" It's also a daring adventure.

"Of course I sincerely invited you. If you were only asked to audition, I would not have agreed so readily. Anyway, we Zhiyuan are going to the Berlin Film Festival again!"

Kim Dae-jong laughed, and Xu Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing with that complacency.

Brother Da Zhong was just talking like this in front of her, and he was absolutely humble in front of the crew.

In any case, since the film crew is willing to take risks, she is naturally willing to try.

I made an appointment with the crew, and the two sides talked.

On Bof's side are Xu Zhiyuan and Kim Dae Jong, while on the crew side are producers, directors and screenwriters.

Such a lineup is undoubtedly out of importance, and Xu Zhiyuan has already been moved by such sincerity before the negotiation started.

"Jiwon xi is more beautiful than she looks on TV." The screenwriter Cui Lan spoke very straightforwardly, and she made it clear from the beginning that she chose Xu Zhiyuan, "I like Zhiyuan's smile very much, no matter what it is At that time, they all seemed so confident.”

She thought for a while, and smiled even brighter, "Well, I think, in essence, Encai and I have something in common. Both of us are fighters, very brave—what do you think? Director Li." Turning his head, he looked at the director Li Yongxi who had been silent all the time.

"I think Seo Ji-won's acting skills are suitable for the role of Eun-chae." Lee Yong-seok is a man who doesn't like talking very much. He sat down from both sides and couldn't say ten words in total. " is in favor of it.

The most interesting thing was the producer, looking at Kim Dae Jong, he half-truthfully said: "I think we can still afford Xu Zhiyuan xi's current worth. In another month, maybe we won't be able to afford Xu Zhiyuan xi. "

Although it was a joke, it was a very clever compliment. The meaning in the words was naturally that Xu Zhiyuan was going to attend the Berlin Film Festival. If she really won the Best Actress, she would be worth a hundred times.

In this case, naturally no one took it seriously, but in the subsequent negotiations, Kim Dae Jong confronted the producer, and even took advantage of the producer's compliments to fight for a higher salary for Xu Zhiyuan.

Xu Zhiyuan did not participate in these matters from the beginning to the end, but she is still satisfied with the final remuneration.

Originally, the producer was only willing to pay her 800 million won per episode, which was lower than her previous pay for "Gongsang".And apart from that, there is no other dividend income.

The reason for this is naturally that "The Palace" is a drama. In the words of the producers, it is the previous drama. It is also risky for them to use Xu Zhiyuan, so the salary should be reduced appropriately.

However, Kim Dae Jong immediately countered and refuted back with what the producer himself said.

The producer shot himself in the foot with a rock, and in the end he could only make concessions. With this concession, Kim Dae Jong naturally pressed hard every step of the way, and in the end he insisted on raising the salary from 800 million to 200 million per episode.After the copyright of the TV series is sold overseas, Xu Zhiyuan can get a 2% dividend.

Xu Zhiyuan is quite satisfied with the salary.For the 4000 episodes of TV series, if the dividends are not included, she can get [-] million. Of course, this is before the agency fee is deducted by the economic company.Once deducted, her income will shrink to only half.

When it comes to income, Kim Dae Jong always looks apologetic, which is why he works so hard and strives for the best interests for Seo Ji Won with the producer every time.

This salary is not very low among actresses, but it is much lower than that of top actors.Like Park Xinyang, one episode of TV series can get 5000 million.When he had a bad fight with the production company of the "War of Money" episode before, his salary income has been completely exposed. It can be said that apart from the super big names, he is the No. 1 in the TV drama industry.

As for the legend that Bae Yong Joon took over the filming of "The Tale of the Four Gods of the King" with 1 million episodes, it really can't be compared.

There are even gossip that Lee Joon-ki, who will be filming "Yizhimei" with her, will be paid 2000 million yuan per episode, which does not include overseas copyright dividends and others.

But Xu Zhiyuan didn't care much about these.I have already decided to act, and I have already negotiated the salary, so what's the point of comparing with others?

All she thinks about is being able to partner with Lee Jun Ki, which is really a rare opportunity.

Obviously, she wasn't alone in thinking like this.When the crew released the news that Lee Joon-ki and Seo Ji-won will be filming the new movie "Iljimae" together, the fans of both sides applauded loudly:

"Ah, Joon Ki is my male god, and Ji Won is my goddess. The two of them will act as a couple. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Yeah, yeah, do you think they are really destined to each other? Lee Joon Ki didn't get the Rookie Award at the Blue Dragon Awards, but Seo Ji Won won the Female Newcomer Award!"

"It's not just that!"

A netizen dug up photos from a long time ago and posted them online, "Look, they participated in a parade together before, and the two of them were so close back then!"

The photo released was a news photo taken a long time ago. In fact, at that time, the reporter took photos of Lee Jun Ki, and Seo Ji Won only appeared in the camera as the background.

But now, it became the evidence of her fate with Lee Jun Ki.

For a while, the new drama "Iljimae", which has not yet started filming, has become one of the most anticipated new dramas for Korean drama fans.While fans of the drama were discussing the new drama enthusiastically, Xu Zhiyuan had quietly gone to Berlin to participate in 2008, which is the eighth Berlin Film Festival.
