The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Lee Kwang Soo can still act, Lee Menglong is very sure of this, and he still has some spirituality in acting.

However, if you view variety shows as a full-length TV series, his image in Running Man is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that even people like Li Menglong who don't often watch variety shows will feel a little out of touch.

This is also a sequelae of using Lee Kwang Soo. Let's get used to it bit by bit. Today is the day when everyone joins the team, and the official shooting will not start until tomorrow. Because the scenes were all shot in Seoul, the actors can usually go home and sleep.

Of course, when it comes to filming, you basically have to sleep in the nanny's car. You can't just go home and sleep for two hours. When the director is looking for it, you can come over at short notice.

There are actually not that many actors who can survive from the first episode to the last episode, so these important actors here today are only in their early tenth year, and they can be considered the leading actors in this drama.

Young people make up the vast majority of them, but Lee Mong-ryong must have followed the convention and still found an old actor to take over. Kim Chang-wan senior also has rich experience. He played in a band when he was young and was also a successful radio DJ. Shui Qi, I have developed some acting skills as I get older.

Yoona, as one of the core players of this drama, received everyone together with Lee Kwang Soo. Everyone greeted each other and made preliminary greetings, and of course bowed to say hello to Kim Chang Wan.

Everyone is young, and Kim Chang-wan was accompanied by Lee Mong-ryong to chat, so the atmosphere here was not dull, but Yoona looked around, whether it was the male lead Park Hae-jin, her brother Ahn Jae-hyun in the play, or even The villain Shin Seung-rok is a standard handsome guy.

Looking back at Lee Kwang Soo's face, he didn't look like the male protagonist who should appear in this drama. Lee Kwang Soo seemed to be aware of everyone's curiosity and shrugged his shoulders: "I won't tell you. I gave the director a gift!”

A joke made everyone feel more relaxed. Yoona was also a pistachio herself, and the atmosphere was very good. Li Menglong also came over with the old man: "Kwang Soo gave me a gift? Remember to make up for it later. Don't come if it's less than 100 million." Give it away, I won’t accept it!”

Although Li Menglong was also joking, the actors did not dare to laugh so wildly. Even Yoona stood aside reservedly. As a director, Li Menglong had a terrifying power over these young actors. .

Signaling everyone to sit down, Li Menglong also sat at the main seat. Below was a large long table like a meeting. Everyone sat on both sides: "Our play has officially begun. What does the script look like?" I’ve seen it all, so my guidance level should be passable!”

"So as long as your acting skills are up to par, I believe it will become one of your masterpieces so far! You..."

"We are confident!" Lee Kwang Soo may have been a little nervous, or maybe he just wanted to flatter him, so he expressed his sincerity very loudly.

Li Menglong just glanced at him without changing his tone: "You are all young people, so discuss and help each other on the set. If you don't understand anything, just come and ask me and Kim Changwan-sempai!"

"I'm just a supporting role, but if you don't mind, we can communicate at any time!" Jin Changwan also knew what he was invited to do, so he said happily.

After another round of humble compliments, Lee Kwang Soo didn't care at all even after he made a mistake, and continued to support his stinky feet with everyone.

"Okay, let's read the script today! If you want to go to the bathroom, go quickly..." Li Menglong still has some entertainment skills, and occasionally showing them is very helpful to lighten the atmosphere.

To be honest, Jin Changwan came up because of the money. As an older generation of entertainers, he has some disdain for this crew that is extremely young in both directors and actors. Even if Li Menglong has made two films, he can still look at it. s work.

It can't be said that relying on one's old age is a shortcoming. After all, living for so many years is worthy of respect, and Jin Changwan has not done anything too much. He still has the respect that should be given, but there is also a hint of arrogance.

For the script, all the actors are together, and everyone reads the lines to each other emotionally according to the script. Because there are co-stars, it is very helpful for everyone's performance in the next performance and familiarity with the plot.

Jin Changwan also took out his own script, the corners were slightly rolled up, and his own lines were all marked out with a highlighter. This is the high demand an old actor has for himself, and he will take the money after he has received it. Show attitude.

Somewhat complacently, he took out his glasses and stuck them on. Only then did he see Yoona's script opposite him. How should I put it, the edges of the script were already black, and the original paper of the script seemed to have been torn, and as Yoon'er After spreading it out, the densely packed notes on it make one's scalp itchy.

Before Jin Changwan could look over, Li Menglong had already begun to speak. At the same time, there was a sound of turning the script in the room. Because Jin Changwan had almost no scenes in the previous scene, he still had time to look at other people.

Goosebumps immediately appeared on their bodies at this sight. Although the scripts were spread out there, and they would even glance at them occasionally, most of the time they were looking at each other's opposite roles, long and long. Memorize your lines!

Being off-script during acting was originally a basic skill for actors, but I don’t know when the younger generation stopped paying attention to it. This made Kim Chang-wan very shameless. He collaborated with so-called idols in several dramas, but unexpectedly He also received some admiring glances when he finished the script.

All these are the reasons why he looks down on young people, but so many leading actors here can actually finish the script? Especially Yoona and Lee Kwang Soo, who have the most lines, don't even stutter at all, as if they know the plot by heart.

Li Menglong was very satisfied with everyone's status. The biggest advantage of being unscripted was that he had a very precise grasp of the characters' roles. Although he couldn't say that this would make the actors perform well, but at least he knew roughly how to act.

YoonA has endured a lot of hardships for this script recently. She almost lost weight after eating so hard. Fortunately, all the hard work was worth it. When she noticed everyone's eyes of approval, YoonA almost took off. .

The script continued, and unknowingly everyone began to half-act in their seats with emotion. The lines were not read aloud in a pale way, but as if they were immersed in the environment.

Jin Changwan really didn't dare to be careless. He was originally invited to suppress the battle. If he didn't take it seriously, it would be embarrassing, so he calmed down.

The first gathering of the crew was very effective. Everyone used their own abilities to gain recognition for each other, especially Yoona and Lee Kwang-soo, who are the protagonists. Although they don’t know how their performances will be, the hard work is indeed worth everyone’s efforts. Thumbs up.

The script was in full swing inside the door, but Xu Xian outside the door was a little embarrassed. As an assistant director, she basically had to do all the big and small things that Li Menglong didn't have time to deal with. Li Menglong didn't deliberately let Xu Xian do it in his hands. You should work harder down there. After all, Li Menglong won't talk about her if he stabs her.

It was the maknae's right to find Unnie when he was embarrassed. He looked at the time and estimated that Kim Taeyeon would have finished class, so he made a phone call: "Imao, isn't this our director Xu, asking me to act? There is no schedule. ah!"

"Unnie! It's business!"

"Oh, there are so many serious things, Ernie, I'm so bored now, please come and accompany me!"

Kim Taeyeon talked about her flowers, while Seohyun talked about his own: "Unnie, do you need to book in advance for a barbecue restaurant with around 20 people? Which one is more convenient? Keep the price at around 150,000 per person!"

"Oh, are you going to treat Ernie to a barbecue? Wait for me. I'll see you in half an hour!" Kim Taeyeon said excitedly.

"Unnie, you have class in the afternoon, so go to class carefully. It's not good to skip class!" Xu Xian warned carefully and repeated the question at the same time.

"Li Menglong pushed this kind of thing to you? Really..." Halfway through, Kim Taeyeon realized what Li Menglong meant. As expected, she is the one who loves the maknae the most: "Okay, I will send you two Please call and ask for the address!"

"Well, thank you Ernie!"

"Okay, do your best and don't embarrass us!" Kim Taeyeon warned: "If Lee Meng Yong bullies you, call me. Don't rush to do everything. Remember that you are the maknae of our Girls' Generation, so be reserved. !”

After getting help from Kim Taeyeon, Xu Xian barely managed to find a place for a dinner party. She really had too many things to learn. She took a few deep breaths, clenched her fists and shouted silently at the wall. Saying: "Xuxian, you can do it! Fight!"

Xu Xian opened the door and sneaked in, found a seat on the side and sat down. She even took out a copy of the script and read it with the actors. She also wanted to study it and find an opportunity to give Li Menglong some advice. It seemed like before Li Menglong did this when he was still an assistant.

How could a goddess like Seohyun, who has her own light source, be ignored by others, but no one had heard that Seohyun was also joining the cast, so it was inevitable that they would be a little curious, and it even affected some of the rhythm of the script.

Fortunately, it was coming to an end, so Li Menglong simply stopped. Li Menglong was still satisfied with the preparations of these people. Seeing everyone looking at Xu Xian curiously, he explained with a smile: "This is my assistant. Director Xu Zhuxian, if you have any inconvenience to come to me in the future, you can also go to her, she will take care of everything!"

"Nai, please take care of me!" Xu Xian came over and bowed to everyone: "Director Menglong OP..., the barbecue restaurant has been booked!"

"Now that our assistant directors have found positions, let's go. I'm already hungry! If you want to encourage everyone, I'll talk about it later when you're full!" Li Menglong stood up with a smile: "Assistant, my budget is no more than three people per person. Wan, if it’s too much, you’ll be responsible for compensating the money!”

Thirty thousand yuan can buy you a ball. Xu Xian almost couldn't help but say bad words. Fortunately, there were so many people and she tolerated it, but she still kept pushing Li Menglong from behind: "The director is really stingy!"

"You are not a good person. The budget for a film is fixed, so you can't overspend!"

"Didn't oppa pay for this meal himself?"

"Of course not, why! Of course, if you treat an actor to a meal, you have to use public funds. Remember to record it in the public account!" Li Menglong once again taught Xu Xian a lesson, although it was a bit obscene!
