The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Li Menglong's crazy move was definitely not impulsive, otherwise how could he have convinced Kim Taeho. There are many reasons for this: for example, there are very few scenes in this drama, which are mainly in the office and the so-called company; there are also few main characters, so it would be good to make the Wu Tiao brothers stand out; the basis of the original script is also there, and Li Menglong did not change it. How abrupt.

Therefore, because of the above, Li Menglong can adjust the order of laying, and even just keep filming according to the progress of the story during filming, which eliminates the problem of actors jumping from scene to scene, which can be regarded as some shortcuts for these non-professional actors.

Unlike ordinary crews, Li Menglong doesn't need to take care of chores here at all. The filming location is in MBC. We can even go to the cafeteria together at noon and there is a place to sleep. In short, everything is very convenient.

Li Menglong gathered the actors together and explained to them the plot that was going to happen in a while. The lines could be freely used with reference to the key points written by Li Menglong and the original script. If the lines were inappropriate, Li Menglong would change them with them on the spot.

After all, Yoo Jae Suk and others have been filming variety shows all year round, so they accepted it okay. However, Kim Taeyeon was a little nervous, especially since she hadn't read the script and didn't even know how she was going to act.

Lee Menglong has already accompanied more than one girl who is performing for the first time. He has led Seohyun and Lee Soonkyu step by step, so they are still experienced. Slowly squatting in front of Kim Taeyeon, looking around to see if there was no one around, she whispered: "Actually, I wanted you to act in the morning. I just said that on purpose because I was afraid that they would be jealous. Very solid, definitely suitable for you!”

"Really? Are you sure?"

"It's necessary, I can already see the shadow of the future movie queen on your face!"

"You didn't lie to me?"

Lee Mong-ryong took the trouble to cheer Kim Taeyeon up. Unlike Lee Soon-kyu, Kim Taeyeon had no confidence in anything except singing, and she was not willing to try. As for what Lee Mong-ryong said, except for the movie queen, everything else was true.

He is really optimistic about Kim Taeyeon for this role. As for the reason, Li Menglong is embarrassed to say, otherwise Kim Taeyeon will get angry. Can Li Menglong say that he values ​​Kim Taeyeon's smell of Jeonju Chaihuo girl?

Li Menglong didn't know much about makeup. He just agreed with the makeup artist on the style he wanted, and then he and Kim Taeho began to search MBC. They needed some extra actresses for this scene, and they had to find them on the spot.

Fortunately, this is MBC. It has less of everything but a lot of stars. As for the actresses who can’t find female idols, why can’t they? Li Menglong quickly flipped through the inventory on his phone. When I heard the names Li Menglong and Infinite Challenge from the other side, I had to come over unconditionally. Even my manager even decided to cancel two small itineraries.

Li Menglong actually just wanted to ask if they were at MBC. Who knew that Zheng Eunchi was so down-to-earth, so he immediately pushed forward his schedule and ran over. When Li Menglong saw it, he was a little dumbfounded: "Okay, I need to lend you some clothes." ?"

"Can a small suit and shirt be enough? We have such clothes ourselves!"

"Okay, I'm going to work. See you on the set later!" Li Menglong left a writer named Wuchao to talk about the play for them, and then he went to work himself.

"Hello, where is our script?" Zheng Eunji asked politely.

The writers were a little embarrassed to say it. How could they explain it to others so that it would appear that the show crew was not joking with them?

While the girls were putting on makeup, Li Menglong was already filming. The scene was a meeting inside Infinite Trading Company. Liu Zaishi, as the director of the operations department, was presiding over the meeting, and the remaining people were all playing their respective roles.

The shrewd Deputy Chief Park Myung-soo who longs for the ministerial position; the silly section chief Jung Joon-ha who is always bullied; the chubby guy who is always patting Liu Jae-seok's horse, and the newcomer Gil who can scold anyone!

In fact, in Li Menglong's view, the character composition of the few people in Infinite Trading Company is enough, and there is no need for too many changes. The main thing is to highlight their respective characteristics and have some sense of the real workplace.

As for the performance of several people, it was much better than Li Menglong imagined. The reason is simply that these people have climbed up from the bottom, and almost all of them are comedians.

First of all, it should be noted that the entertainment industry is definitely more serious than the strife in the ordinary workplace, and the most difficult people to get involved in the entertainment industry are comedians. Maybe the base of comedians is not as large as that of idols and actors, but the success rate is frighteningly low.

To put it bluntly, the Wuchao gang is really familiar with how to scheming and scheming, even good old guys like Yoo Jae-seok. If anyone really thinks that Yoo Jae-seok has no evil intentions at all, then he really should go to the hospital. Saw it.

The camera mentioned that during the interview, Yoo Jae Suk just smiled and fiddled with his glasses without saying a word. This is what a leader should look like. Let the people below express their opinions. In the end, he only needs to pick the one he likes. If the effect is not good, he will Can be pushed cleanly directly.

Although Father Park talks a lot, he doesn't say a single word that is useful if you listen closely; Big Fat Brother just knows how to giggle, but the glint in his eyes occasionally proves that he is not stupid either; although the staff below do not dare to imitate him 100% Ten, but among the ten sentences, five were flattering Yoo Jae Suk, three were flattering Park Myung Soo, one was praising Big Fat Brother, and the last sentence was about related things.

"Stuck! Perfect! Keep up the good work, everyone. It's best to make your characters as rich as possible. All kinds of little thoughts can be brought in. The conflict between Park Myung Soo and Yoo Jae Suk can be more superficial and show your desire for that position!" Li Menglong! Encourage everyone.

This is the first time for everyone to work with Li Menglong in a TV series. It can be said that they don’t know his style yet. It just seems quite bluffing, but when he praises people, it is quite pleasant!

And as Li Menglong pointed at the camera and analyzed the shortcomings of his performance with everyone, Li Menglong saw what they were trying to show. Only then did they realize that Li Menglong didn't just rely on compliments.

Over there, Kim Taeyeon and the six Ah Fans have already joined together. Kim Taeyeon is a senior after all, so although she is nervous, she still has the dignity of a senior and is not mature enough. She just hopes that when Li Menglong scolds her, Don't be too cruel!

As for not being scolded, Kim Taeyeon didn't even dare to expect it. If Fan had some acting talent, how could she not be allowed to participate in TV dramas because of her popularity? S*m would not let her go.

Kim Taeyeon was even ready to go home after one day of filming. It was estimated that one day was enough to make Lee Menglong give up. But looking at the simple piece of paper in her hand, there were not many specific lines, but mostly a summary of the scenes before and after, and what needs to be presented in it. It’s up to Kim Taeyeon to figure out her status.

As the saying goes, bystanders know better. Seohyun first firmly believes that Lee Mong-ryong will not harm Kim Taeyeon, which means that Kim Taeyeon must have the advantages that Lee Mong-ryong sees as suitable for the role. This is combined with her own experience, and she should usually act in her true colors. .

"I'm acting in my true self? Big star Kim Taeyeon?"

"That shouldn't be the case. This is not an interview. It's a regular job. Ernie just thinks he failed in his debut and goes out to find a job!" Xu Xian thought for a while and added her character to Kim Taeyeon.

"Oh, are you so miserable? Am I still a little down and out lately? The kind of person who can't even afford to eat?" Kim Taeyeon saw Xu Xian's teasing eyes and soon discovered that her clothes were not old. It's not a decent, old-style, and a bit too big suit.

Kim Taeyeon really felt a little numb, and she began to look at Li Menglong's scrawled paper seriously. Little did she know that she had the most scripts among so many actors.

Seeing the girl from Yi Shui walking over, Liu Zaishi and the others had already come up to tease her as usual. Firstly, the guests needed to be supported, and secondly, they wanted to create some laughter.

But now they just raised their heads and smiled at a few people, and then immediately lowered their heads and began to perfect their characters. This was not the first time that Li Menglong delegated power to actors.

Li Menglong does not regard this as lack of confidence in himself, he just thinks it is a difference in style, and he does not like to hold everything back on him. Although he is the screenwriter and director, after the actors have played the role, he should be the person who knows the role best. Li Menglong is willing to listen to the voices of the actors and staff.

Li Menglong, who is stuck in work, is focused and busy. Of course, his usual warmth and humor are still there: "Are you here? Let's go to MBC to eat together as soon as we have free time. As for the remuneration, let your agent negotiate with the show. How much can you ask for? , don’t give me face!”

"Oppa, don't be joking. It's an honor to have the opportunity to participate!" Zheng Eunji, as the person who is most familiar with Li Menglong, naturally stepped forward and took the initiative to say hello.

"I like your humble attitude. When you become the number one girl group in the future, please don't learn from your seniors. There is no good in it!" Li Menglong's map blast was a bit too much, and he pushed the girls down first. The first girl group also said that they have a bad attitude.

As the team leader, Kim Taeyeon naturally came out to speak for the group and exchanged a few words. When it was about to start filming, Kim Taeyeon found that she felt inexplicably more relaxed.

If she wasn't familiar with Li Menglong, she wouldn't even think about it, but now she knows that Li Menglong did it on purpose. Kim Taeyeon is convinced. Otherwise, why would Seohyun, Lee Soonkyu and Lee Mongryong be full of praise after working together? Why would Yoona insist on hugging Lee Mongryong's thigh? This kind of meticulous care would be enough.

Of course, it is easy for a director to take such care of an actress and cause problems. Fortunately, Li Menglong has only worked with his own people so far. If he works with a top single actress in the future, it will be easy for trouble to happen!

The filming of the next scene started soon as I was thinking wildly. As soon as Li Menglong said "actiong", the whole set seemed to be silent. Kim Taeyeon also quickly came back to her senses and tried her best to hypnotize herself:

Now she is a poor person who has been a trainee for more than 20 years. In the end, she has no skills, no job, and even had a falling out with her family many years ago. She spent half of her savings to find this dress in a second-hand store. If this If she can no longer be accepted for a job, she will probably not even be able to put food on the table.

Before coming to the interview, she deliberately ate two packs of ramen noodles in the supermarket. This was the most filling meal she had eaten in a week. She must have the physical strength and brains to deal with the interviewer, and she will definitely succeed!

"Come on! You can do it, Kim Taeyeon!" Kim Taeyeon, who was brought into the situation, couldn't help but clenched her fists to cheer herself up!
