Chapter 348: Playing with Yoo Jae-Ming
The next night after the Baeksang Awards Ceremony.
Jin Qixuan made an appointment with Liu Zaiming and had a drinking party with Liu Yaren.
During this period, the two said nothing about the "Silent" script.
Just keep changing cups.
However, Jin Qixuan’s drinking capacity is not as good as the two of them.
Therefore, Yoo Ah-in recommended him rice wine mixed with beer.
Don’t mention it, it tastes sour and sweet like juice, it’s very delicious.
Jin Qixuan discovered the New World in an instant.
After three rounds of drinking.
Yoo Ah-in began to calmly praise and compliment Liu Jae-myung on his strong acting skills and wide range of acting.
"Senior Ming, you are currently missing a masterpiece, a work with a leading role and explosive box office or reputation."
"I believe that with your strength, as soon as this opportunity comes, you will have a place on the Zhongwu Road in the future."
Hearing this, Liu Zaiming was not confused by the praise, but joked:
< br>“You compliment me so much, are you trying to sell me health care products next?”
"Hahahaha..."
Jin Qixuan and Liu Yaren burst into laughter.
This old man is quite humorous.
In fact, Yoo Jae-myung and Yoo Ah-in met on the set of "Veteran".
However, Liu Zaiming only has two scenes.
The two of them have nothing in common.
Moreover, Yoo Ah In was in high spirits at that time.
Unlike now, after experiencing so many "beatings" from society, my attitude can be said to be very humble.
Liu Zaiming is almost at the age where he knows his destiny.
The purpose of these two little kids was clear to him ever since he met Liu Yaren with Jin Qixuan.
There will be nothing else but filming with him.
Could it be possible that two thirty-year-old movie stars wanted to have a year-end friendship with an old man who was almost fifty?
However, these two people never said anything.
He didn’t ask any questions and just acted with him.
Here Yoo Ah In has finished singing the white face, and Jin Qixuan has started to sing the bad face.
After all, if Yoo Ah-in and Yoo Jae-myung were good friends, if they dared to disparage him, he would probably make him walk away.
Jin Qixuan is different. He is quite familiar with Liu Zaiming.
Therefore, Jin Qixuan said tactfully that Liu Zaiming's vision in selecting scripts is too poor. He has starred in so many works but has no masterpiece so far.
Even though Yoo Jae-myung is very prolific, he appears in no less works than Sung Dong-il every year.
But when it comes to him, everyone's impression still remains on the dean in "1988".
In fact, his acting skills in "Secret Forest" are not inferior to Cao Chengyou at all.
But it's a pity.
Most of the drama's popularity is attracted by Cao Chengyou, who seems to be a transparent person.
It is naturally impossible for Liu Zaiming to admit Jin Qixuan's remarks.
It’s not that he has poor judgment when choosing scripts, it’s that he has no choice!
Besides, the audience is still very familiar with him, and they can name the characters in one or two of his plays.
How can it be considered as not having a masterpiece?
Seeing that Liu Zaiming refused to admit it, Jin Qixuan began to count in detail.
Starting from "1988", to "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" and then to "Secret Forest".
In terms of movies, "Guilty Girl", "Drug King", "My First Class Brother" and so on.
He has collaborated with so many Chungmuro actors, including Song Kang-ho, Cho Seung-woo, Lee Byung-hun, Kim Ki-hyun, etc.
Which one has both popularity and acting skills?
Moreover, Liu Zaiming’s performance was outstanding when he acted with them.
But why, as soon as the play aired, his popularity was as popular as duckweed in the rain, only a green duckweed was left in the mist?
After Jin Qixuan analyzed it, Liu Zaiming also fell into deep thought.
These words really touched his pain point.
If you are a human being, you will be compared.
Think about Sung Dong-il who acted with him in "1988".
Now, not only are there a lot of dramas, but the popularity is still very high, and tvn has also customized a variety show for him.
Another example is Jin Qixuan.
He was born in 1993, twenty years younger than him.
But he won the Blue Dragon Award and the Great Bell Best Actor early on.
And he.
I have been acting in dramas for more than ten years, but have always been lukewarm. I am still playing supporting roles.
It is indeed a bit embarrassing to say it out loud.
At this time, Jin Qixuan saw the hesitant expression on Liu Zaiming's face and knew that the heat was almost over.
Then he "accidentally" let slip that Yoo Ah In had recently gotten a good book.
There is a role that he feels is very suitable for Liu Zaiming and he would like to recommend him to try it.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zaiming didn't understand.
I dare to believe that these two people are waiting for me here.
However, he was not angry.
After all, good actors also need to take the initiative to find good scripts and roles.
It's just that he was a little curious about what the script would be like that would make the two of them spend so much time on it.
"Senior Zaiming, I have a book in my hand now. I think a role in this drama is very suitable for you."
"As long as you appear, I may not be able to guarantee anything in terms of popularity."
"But, in terms of acting skills, you will definitely be recognized by the audience!"
Yoo Ah-in is full of confidence. Assured.
"Oh? What book?"
Liu Zaiming asked with a smile.
“Before I answer, can senior Zaiming answer my question first?”
"In "1988", who is more popular with the audience, you or senior Sung Dong-il?"
"Needless to say, of course it's Sung Dong-il."
Hearing this, Liu Zaiming He replied without thinking.
How long has he been in the drama? How long has Cheng Dongyi been in the show?
Moreover, Cheng Dongyi’s scenes include both tears and laughter, as well as tender scenes of interaction with children.
He is almost always in serious, or swearing scenes.
Of course the audience likes Cheng Dongyi.
"Then, how do I compare with you?"
Liu Yaren asked with a smile.
"Uh..."
Liu Zaiming was asked.
He and Yoo Ah In have no scenes opposite each other in "Veteran", how can they compare?
"Senior Zaiming, you don't need to answer for now, just listen to me."
"The audience likes an actor's role in a drama, often not because of how good his acting skills are, but because of his personality, right? ?”
“Hmm.”
Liu Zaiming nodded, agreeing with this statement.
“An actor’s acting skills can only determine whether he has a long-term career, but the character’s personality determines whether he can become popular. Am I right?”
“Yes. .”
Liu Zaiming nodded again.
Yoo Ah-in said confidently:
“As long as my performance in this role is not too bad, I will at least be nominated for Best Supporting Actor!”
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan turned into a compliment and said:
“With your acting skills, I can catch you.”
“Yes, as long as you can come to act, I can guarantee you that in terms of salary, Definitely the highest you’ve ever received!”
Yoo Ah In throws out a bait again.
The drama "Silence" is a low-budget drama.
The total investment is only 1.2 billion won, of which Yoo Ah-in’s salary accounts for one-third. This is the result of his reduction in salary.
He could even lower his salary even further and share it with Liu Zaiming.
After all, people like him and Jin Qixuan do not live on salary.
But actors like Yoo Jae-ming live off their paychecks.
Sure enough, after hearing Liu Yaren's assurance, Liu Zaiming was moved.
On the one hand, after debuting for so long, he needs an award to prove himself.
On the other hand, his wife is about to give birth and now is the time to spend money.
But he still suppressed his thoughts and prepared to listen to Yoo Ah In's script first before making any plans.
So, he replied calmly:
"Tell me about the book first."
"Okay."
Then, Yoo Ah-in told the story of "Silent" and the character of Changfu, the character he planned to play by Yoo Jae-myung.
After listening to Yoo Ah In’s story.
Liu Zaiming was silent for a moment and said:
"After listening to you, I feel that the story is very general, not delicate, and has many loopholes."
"But if you don't grasp the details of the story, If the shortcomings are not ignored, then the plot is worth pondering in terms of expression and concept. "So, the screenwriter is a newcomer, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Yaren showed a look of appreciation in his eyes, nodded, and said:
"Yes, the director and screenwriter are called Hong Yi Zheng. He has a background in advertising films. As a photographer and Photography assistant has shot many short films and commercials.”
"After that, she went to the London Film School to study cinematography. This is her first feature film."
"Still a female director?"
Liu Zaiming asked in surprise.
"Yes."
Yoo Ah-in nodded again and said:
"Although I am a new director and screenwriter, the reason why I was able to take on this drama is naturally because of the excellence of the script. ”
"From the perspective of the story structure, the first half of the plot relies on various accidents and coincidences, full of black comedy, but the ending is a sad combination of drama and reality."
"This kind of subject matter ”
In fact, when Jin Qixuan read the script of “Silent”, he also liked it.
It even has a bit of a "Parasite" feel in terms of drama and absurdity.
Furthermore, the character Tae-in is still mute and has no lines.
The difficulty is comparable to the role of "Shen Shihe" in "My First Class Brother" played by Jin Qixuan.
Although this kind of role is difficult to play, the probability of winning an award is very high.
For example, Cao Chengyou, famous for "If Love Has God's Will".
His famous film "Marathon" played an autistic teenager.
There are only a few lines in the whole film, but thanks to his body movements and expressions, he won the double Best Actor Award at the Daejong Award and the Baeksang Arts Awards!
It can be seen that as long as the acting skills are good enough, having few or even no lines is not a problem.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Yoo Ah-in is so interested in the book "Silent".
He even lowered his salary.
I just want to win a prize.
“Now that we have talked about it, if I don’t answer it, it will show that I am a little ignorant.”
After thinking for a moment, Liu Zaiming replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Yaren's face suddenly became happy and said:
"So, Senior Zaiming, you agree?"
"Yes, agreed."
"Come on, senior Zaiming, let me toast you. I hope our cooperation goes smoothly!"
Seeing that the matter was settled, Liu Yaren quickly picked up the wine glass and said.
"The cooperation went well."
Liu Zaiming picked up the wine glass and touched it gently with Liu Yaren.
“Qixuan, you drink too.”
Seeing that Jin Qixuan was as steady as a rock and didn't hold the wine glass at all, Liu Yaren couldn't help but urge.
"I won't drink anymore. I have to record a program tomorrow."
As he said that, Jin Qixuan put chopsticks into the wine glass and dipped the tissue into it, indicating that he was raising a white flag - surrender.
Although he is not a good drinker, he is quite good at learning these weird ways to resist drinking.
Seeing this, Liu Yaren rolled his eyes, but he didn’t force it.
After a while.
Yoo Ah In, who was having a good time, took a photo with Jin Qixuan and Yoo Jae Myung, and then posted the photo on Instagram.
【I was very happy to meet senior Jae Myung today. In addition, I am looking forward to cooperating with @youchmy (Yoo Jae Myung’s Instagram ID) and @actorjin Qixuan in the future. 】
[Picture][Picture][Picture]
After a while, many comments appeared under INS.
【No, you were just beaten by Lee Xingmin's acting skills? Are you still thinking about drinking? What a big heart. 】
【Heizi upstairs, the identification is completed. 】
[The only Asian on the "New York Times" list of the top ten performances of 2018. Is it so difficult to admit that Yoo Ah In is excellent? 】
【Is Yoo Ah In excellent? Just a deserter. 】
【Don’t be embarrassed upstairs, my brother is exempted from military service due to health reasons! 】
[Physical reasons? And then you were confirmed to star in "Chicago Typewriter" that same month? Who believes it? 】
【No, what is an actor doing if he doesn't pay attention to his acting skills and keeps watching people evade military service? 】
【Question, whose is that wine glass with the "white flag" on it? 】
[Hahahahahahaha, it looks like it belongs to Jin Qixuan! 】
【By the way, when did the relationship between the two of them become so good? 】
【……】
Seeing that Yoo Ah In stopped drinking, he lowered his head and started arguing with anti-fans on his mobile phone.
Jin Qixuan and Liu Zaiming looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
He and Kim Heechul are the only artists in Peninsula who directly confront anti-fans.
In some ways, such straightforward people are very good friends.
However, as a public figure...
Seeing Yoo Ah In holding the phone and not letting go, he seemed to be fighting against the black fans until dawn.
Jin Qixuan quickly pulled up Liu Zaiming and said:
"Uncle Zaiming, let's go first."
"Well... OK, Na Yaren, let's leave first."
Liu Zaiming looked at the time, nodded, and shouted to Liu Yaren.
"Well, senior Zaiming, Qixuan, you go back first."
"Be careful on the road."
He replied without raising his head, and Yoo Ah In continued to hold the phone and chat with the anti-fans.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan and Liu Zaiming smiled at each other, turned and left the private room.
“Shall I see you off?”
"No, I'll take a taxi back and won't delay you."
Liu Zaiming refused with a smile.
“Okay then.”
After putting Liu Zaiming in the taxi, Jin Qixuan got into the nanny's car.
As soon as he got in the car, Jin Qixuan heard his agent Sheng Bingxu say:
"The news about your dinner party was forwarded by the media, and it was interpreted that you were going to collaborate with Yoo Ah In on a new movie."
"Oh, it's good to ask them to divert their attention. Stop staring at my relationship with Li Zhien all day long."
Hearing this, Sheng Bingxu smiled and said:
"Yes. There will be a dinner party at the company tomorrow night. Welcome Nam Joo Hyuk and Yoo In Na to join our family.”
"Oh? So, the acquisition by KakaoM has finally been settled?"
"Yes, I rejected it, everything is as before. The only thing that has changed is that the company decided to separate an independent department to specialize Serve you.”
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan was stunned and said:
"Independent department? Serving me exclusively?"
"Yes, including - public relations team, publicity team, legal advisors, assistants, bodyguards, drivers, makeup artists, stylists, photographers, etc."< br>
“This...this is no different from creating a studio for me.”
"Yes, and the future contract is 70/30, but you have to pay the wages of our team."
"It should be."
Jin Qixuan didn't even think about it. I thought about it and agreed.
In Peninsula, the split between actors and agencies is generally 30-70.
A very few companies will give four to six or even five to five to some old artists who renew their contracts.
A contract like his with a 70/30 percentage share is something that can be counted on one hand, not to mention the scorpions in the peninsula.
But actually if you count it out.
Jin Qixuan only gets 60%, and 10% is left to pay the team’s salary.
“Also, starting from tomorrow I will not bring Park Bo Gum with me, I will bring you with me exclusively.”
"Where is the sword?"
"Song Joong Ki's manager will take him."
"It means that Joong Ki's manager will not go with him in the future, right?"
"Yes, he is not in the mood to work now."
"What should I say?"
"He is getting divorced."
"Ah???"
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan was instantly confused.
Divorced just two years ago? ? ?
"Because of what?"
"I don't know."
Suddenly, Jin Qixuan remembered what Li Zhien said that day and asked abruptly:
"Hey, Brother Byung Wook, does it have something to do with Park Bo Gum when you say this?"
When Park Bo Gum and Song Hye Kyo were filming the drama "Boyfriend" a while ago, there was indeed news on the Internet The news of the marriage change between the two Song dynasties.
Because neither of them wore wedding rings when they attended the event.
Sheng Bingxu rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"If Baojian knew that you slandered him so much, he would definitely fight you."
"Haha, he can't beat me."
"..."
Sheng Bingxu did not want to express any opinion on Jin Qixuan's blind confidence.
