The Rise of Korean Entertainment

If an ordinary person said this, Yoona would just smile at most, but you should see that it was Li Menglong who spoke at this moment.

What is this guy's identity? You really shouldn't listen to what he said casually, and besides, there is some truth in what he said.

Let's not talk about Yoona's status at this time. If a new actress wants to be the protagonist directly, most of the TV dramas will be Japanese dramas. Yoona herself made her debut this way.

The corresponding movies also have this method, and such movies are often horror movies and supernatural movies.

As for why such films are willing to choose newcomers to star, it's certainly not because the other party is kind or willing to give newcomers a chance.

This move is entirely out of profit considerations. You can tell by looking at Yoona's reaction at this moment. Even though she looks very interested now, do you really want to give her a try?

Although it's hard to say it directly, it is true that any actor with some choices will not star in this type of film.

There are many specific reasons. For example, it is not easy for this type of film to accumulate popularity, for example, it is difficult to film such films, and for example, the money provided is pitiful.

In fact, the most important thing here is money. After all, if you give enough money, you can still produce several big names.

It's a pity that such movies are often produced with a small budget. Seriously speaking, this kind of movie can be regarded as a typical example of small and big.

Almost every year there are one or two such movies that are big hits at the box office, so there are many companies willing to give it a try. What if they scratch out lottery tickets?

Since it is to scratch lottery tickets, naturally I don't want to invest too much money in it, but I should save some money wherever I can.

A large part of the shooting cost is spent on the actors, but this type of movie pays more attention to the plot and overall atmosphere, and the requirements for actors are not that high.

As a result, due to the superposition of various factors, more new faces often appear in such movies.

And new actors are also divided into three, six or nine levels. If you are a pure newcomer, you really don't have any advantage, unless you really have a dazzling talent.

In contrast, idols have a big advantage in this regard. They have a certain degree of popularity, but the asking prices are often not high.

Although the acting skills may be slightly inferior, the base is large enough. With so many idols making their debut every year, there are always a few reliable actors who can be encountered in the waves.

Yoona naturally understands these truths. Although neither her fame nor Lee Mong-ryong's status seems to be suitable for such movies, who knows what Lee Mong-ryong thinks?

If their freedom is still relative, then Li Menglong's freedom has no restrictions. Basically, he can accomplish whatever he wants to do.

Yoona isn't too envious of this. After all, freedom often comes with responsibility, and she can't afford this kind of responsibility.

Imagine that as a heroine, she will be full of pressure once she faces a box office failure. This is when she is not responsible for profit and loss.

Once she is responsible for the final benefits of the entire project, there will be a lot of pressure. If it fails, the entire team and even the company will be implicated.

So at this moment, Yoona just wants to hear what Li Menglong means. If he is serious about it, the heroine will not take advantage of outsiders.

Although she, Lin Yoona, is indeed not suitable to play this kind of role again, after all, she is already a big actress, and the crew with such cost cannot afford to hire her.

But if she can't do it, it doesn't mean that the other girls can't do it. Even though they are so famous now, being the protagonist of a movie still doesn't mean burying them.

Especially if Li Menglong is there to protect him, the possibility of a big failure will basically be eliminated. This kind of good thing must definitely stay in the team!

"What do you mean, our Queen Lin is really tempted?" Li Menglong joked here, although he was just making nonsense here.

Faced with such ridicule, Yoona didn't even care: "Ahem, she is the future actress!"

She first corrected Li Menglong's title issue, and then expressed her own opinion: "Although I don't want to star in the role, I can recommend actors to you. I am very experienced in this area!"

Since Yoona is so enthusiastic, she can just chat with the little girl. She happens to be a little bored: "It's not impossible. Let's hear your choice first!"

Although I knew that what Li Menglong said was very unreliable, he still said that, what if? If Li Menglong really gets interested, wouldn't she make a lot of money? In short, it's just a waste of saliva.

"For this kind of low-budget movie, the protagonist needs to be both popular and low-paying. To put it simply, the main focus is cost-effectiveness, so I would recommend Girls' Generation's Kim Hyoyeon first!"

Yoona looked confident, as if she was her manager, and the current scene was indeed somewhat similar.

It is true that many roles are negotiated in private. If you have to make an analogy, it is probably equivalent to internal referrals in the company.

Although you can't directly get this role, the chances are greater than ordinary people. This is human nature and many people know it.

And since Yoona is a manager, her first purpose is to brag like crazy and always promote her artists.

Of course, this kind of approach is undoubtedly the most low-level among agents. It is only done by novices when they have no other choice. At least Li Menglong has never done this before.

This was due to the fact that the girls were already very famous when he took over, but it was also because Li Menglong didn't bother to do so.

When he took Xu Xian to find a role, he relied on thinking about the other person, or taking the initiative to help the director solve the other person's problems.

For example, if the other party needs what type of actors, they should train their own artists in that direction. Even if they are not selected in the end, they should try their best to help the other party find suitable actors.

This is not a one-time deal. After all, directors who only make one movie are very rare. After this time, you will be familiar with it next time.

Of course, this approach is not very easy. If it goes further, it may involve the issue of interest exchange.

In an era when the rules were not perfect, this was often filled with some gray transactions, but now everyone is much more rational, and it is undoubtedly more labor-saving to directly exchange benefits.

For example, if Yoona likes a certain role now, but the other party is not willing to give it to Yoona, then the company can come forward.

Either participate in a part of the investment, or give the other party some share of the project the company is preparing, or even directly exchange the role of one's own project.

It's just that these more advanced methods have nothing to do with Yoona at this moment. She can't come up with so much content in the exchange, so she can only brag like crazy here.

"Kim Hyoyeon is the most popular member of Girls' Generation, and her dancing ability is very good. Even if there are some action scenes in your movie, she doesn't need a stunt double!"

Yoona searched hard to find the advantages of Xiaoyuan, but it was not like Li Menglong was unfamiliar with Xiaoyuan.

Let's not talk about Hyoyeon's acting skills. In terms of popularity alone, she is not the best choice. After all, this movie is not an adventure movie.

Horror movies themselves do not have high requirements for actors, and it is easy to have no impression of the actors after watching the film, so the actors themselves need to be beautiful enough.

Hyoyeon still has some disadvantages in this regard. Although Li Menglong did not say these words directly, Yoona still understood it as a manager.

But it doesn't matter, the girls don't have much else but they have a lot of people. The main reason why they just selected Hyoyeon is because among them, Hyoyeon is the one with the cheapest salary.

If Li Menglong is willing to increase his salary a little, then Xiuying is very suitable. Needless to say about her appearance, she looks very heroic and a proper heroine.

"Xiuying, it's not impossible, but we still need some swimsuit scenes in the film. Do you think there are any suitable candidates?" Li Menglong asked.

"Swimsuit? Bikini?" Yoona frowned and looked embarrassed. Li Menglong's request was a bit too much.

Yoona actually understood his request. This kind of small-scale movie would naturally have more selling points, and a sexy heroine would naturally be the best one.

It's just that the girls are all female idols. Not to mention these slightly exposed scenes, there is a confirmation scale of going back and forth for everything in the kiss scene. After all, fans will not be willing to see it.

"It seems that your artists are having difficulties, right? That's okay. We can't do business with each other. We will cooperate again in the future if we have the opportunity." Li Menglong yawned here, saying that he could rest now, right?

Although the whole process can only be regarded as a "situation drama", Yoona is still unwilling to end it like this. Besides, she hasn't spoken yet. What is Li Menglong talking about here?

"Ahem, what I just meant is that I don't have any suitable actresses here, and you have to pay more!" Yoona looked like a money-grubbing philistine.

This caught Li Menglong a little off guard: "The money is easy to talk about, but are you sure the actors on your side can do it? The scale of our scenes is still a bit big!"

"No problem!" Yoona patted her chest and assured, "As long as the money is in place, our actors are willing to sacrifice a little for art, but it can't be too much. Bikinis and stuff are the bottom line!"

"That's no problem, but who is your actor?"

"Pani, there's nothing to say about her popularity or appearance. The key is that she has a great figure. I guarantee this with my personality. If you really let her wear a bikini, your movie will definitely be a hit!"

Xu Xian was just listening and having fun at first, but he didn't expect that the two people talked more and more obscenely. He even saw that Li Menglong didn't seem to believe it. Yoona even called Pani down who looked confused.

"Why are you calling me? Didn't you two quarrel again?" Pani said cutely. Did you ask her to break up the fight? It's a little exciting to think about it.

"We'll talk about breaking up the fight later. Unnie, do you have any swimsuits in your dormitory? Something a bit sexy. Wear it and show it to Li Menglong. He still doesn't believe what I said!"

Although Yoona had made it very clear, why was Pani still confused when she heard it? Why was she inexplicably asked to put on a swimsuit and show it to Li Menglong? This was very embarrassing.

"Is this your actor? He has no consciousness at all. I think it's better to forget it!" Li Menglong looked very disappointed, which really made Yoona angry.

In the past, I just slapped Pani on the butt. Why is this actor so unsatisfied? He just asked her to change into a swimsuit. What's so cool about it?

At this time, Xu Xian couldn't stand it anymore. Didn't these two gang up to bully people? They were bullying an honest person like Pani. This was really too much.

So Xu Xian told Pani the whole thing from the side, and Pani became angry. Although she was a good person, it didn't mean that she had no temper.

She used to grab Yoona and beat her hard, and she kept saying, "You damn girl, you still dare to betray me. You really don't know that I'm your sister, right?"

"Hey, why are you hitting me? I'm giving you a chance. Why don't you cherish it?"

"Give me a chance? I, Huang Meiying, need you to give me a chance. If I want to film, will there be no script?" Pani yelled here.

Pani said this with enough confidence. There are only one girl here, but I dare not say more than one. There are really some people rushing to be the second female lead in idol dramas.

Of course, we have to talk about it in two ways. If what Lee Mong-ryong and Yoona just said are true, with Lee Mong-ryong's name alone, there are probably a lot of idols and actors who are willing to star in the show, even if it's a little exposed.

But here's the key. What Li Menglong and Yoona said were all jokes, so Pani felt that she was being ridiculed. Why did they treat themselves as clowns when they were joking?

"Pani hit well, give me a few hits too!" Li Menglong said in support.

"You're not a good person either, you're just a pervert, huh!" Pani turned his head and replied to Li Menglong.

At this time, Yoona in her hand was also restless. She and Li Menglong had obviously said it together, but it was inappropriate to hit her more than once: "Unnie, go hit him, he is the mastermind!"

"You shut up and asked me to wear a swimsuit. Why don't you wear it yourself? Do you want me to give you my swimsuit? By the way, mine will fall off if you put it on!"

I don’t know if Pani’s last sentence was planned in advance, but it was indeed a pretty cruel move, and Yoona jumped right off the bat.

We are all sisters, so we are just joking. Why are you resorting to personal attacks? Her figure, Lin Yoona, is not bad either!

"Huang Meiying, please let me go while I can talk easily, otherwise..."

Before Yoona could finish her words, Pani gave her another blow. Believe it or not, she called all the women upstairs to come down and let them see how polite this little girl is!
