At the beginning of the conversation, Jin-pyo Park said, "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, I’m preparing to start shooting a new film called" I love by my side ".Have you heard of it?"
Zhang Chengyuan said, "Of course, I have heard that the media has been full of news about it recently."
As early as last month, when the major media announced that Xiang You and Ha Ji Won were about to co-produce this film, it was already widely noticed by the public, and then Xiang You made the film start shooting smoothly as soon as possible, and announced that he was willing to star in this film for a fee, which made the public have a heated discussion about it.
However, two days ago, the production company of "I love you by my side" announced that Xiang You, the leading actor of the film, had originally planned to take the lead. Recently, the production company cancelled the acting agreement because Xiang You voluntarily resigned because he felt that he was not suitable for the role. This news even set off the eye.
In this case, Zhang Chengyuan naturally heard some things, but because he consciously had nothing to do with this film, he didn’t pay much attention to it. He didn’t want to find Jin-pyo Park today.
Jin-pyo Park went on to say, "This time I came here to see if it is possible to work with Mr. Zhang Chengyuan."
Zhang Chengyuan asked, "Director Park, do you want me to take over from Mr. Sang-woo in this film?"
Jin-pyo Park nodded. "I did have this idea before I came, but I was lucky enough to see you filming just now, and the situation strengthened my idea-Mr. Zhang Chengyuan deserves to be the best actor of the younger generation, and I deeply feel that I am looking for the right person."
Although the media and professionals have always praised Zhang Chengyuan’s acting skills, Jin-pyo Park was not convinced at first, thinking that Zhang Chengyuan’s acting skills might be really good, but he should not reach the top level in the industry. After all, he is only 6 years old this year, and acting skills usually need time and experience to hone.
But today, after witnessing Zhang Chengyuan’s filming with his own eyes and watching it carefully for an afternoon, he suddenly found that Zhang Chengyuan’s acting skills were extremely outstanding, which was no less than those of Korean film emperors. In some respects, he began to earnestly hope to invite Zhang Chengyuan to star in his film.
Zhang Chengyuan said, "Director Park, as far as I know, first hero, the film I love by my side, is a patient suffering from Gleick’s disease who is gradually paralyzed and losing weight. If he wants to play this role well, the first actor has to be thin enough, so he has to lose weight desperately to fit the role image. It is said that Mr. Sang-woo gave up this film because he was too strong to do this, and I am taller and stronger than him, fearing that I am even less suitable for this role?"
Jin-pyo Park smiled slightly. "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, do you know how I thought of looking for you to play this role? Actually, it was Miss Ha Ji Won , the leading actress of this film, who recommended her to assure me that you are absolutely capable of reducing your weight and figure to a level suitable for this role in a short time, so I came to see you. "
I can’t help wondering when I heard that Zhang Chengyuan was recommended by Ha Ji Won . At the beginning of the month, he told her that his schedule was not suitable for this film, but at this time it was inconvenient to delve into it, so he let it go for a while and nodded, "Sister Zhiyuan is right. I can really do this, but director Park, I am currently filming a video drama until the end of November, and I will start shooting a new video drama in March next year, but as far as I know, I love by my side will not start shooting until February next year, so I’m afraid there is no schedule for this film.
Jin-pyo Park mused, "I will try my best to solve this problem by shooting this film in January or early January. I believe it will be finished in two months. In fact, this film is not very complicated and difficult to shoot. What really needs attention is your weight loss process and your acting skills, but I believe you can give us an excellent performance. In addition, we can shoot your scenes first so as not to delay your other work."
"Oh, I see. This adjustment really makes me shoot this film sometimes. Sister Hailin recommended me to this Jin-pyo Park director. At the same time, I can see that Sister Hailin really wants to act with me again. I can’t live up to her kindness."
Zhang Chengyuan agreed at this thought, "If I can really shoot according to what the director said, then I am very willing to take this film. The role of Gleick’s disease patient is very challenging, and I also want to challenge it once, and maybe I can get an important award by this role."
Jin-pyo Park said, "If you can play this role well, I’m sure you can win one or two film awards", which shows that he has great confidence in his new film.
After a pause, he added, "Mr. Zhang, I heard that your company has invested in film and television drama shooting. Is this the case?"
Zhang Chengyuan said, "Well, once or twice."
Jin-pyo Park said, "Are you interested in investing in my film?"
Zhang Chengyuan asked in a slightly stunned way, "Director Park, hasn’t the crew raised enough funds for filming?"
Jin-pyo Park said frankly, "I won’t tell you that the crew really hasn’t raised enough funds, and you know it’s difficult to raise funds now that the film market is depressed."
Zhang Chengyuan said, "I don’t know how much worse?"
"This film needs about 400 million won, and now it’s about 1.5 billion."
Zhang Chengyuan said, "1.5 billion? This is not much. I am willing to take it out. I have a small condition. "
"Did you pack this 1.5 billion?" Jin-pyo Park was surprised that he had expected Zhang Chengyuan to come up with hundreds of millions of dollars. After all, this year’s economy is not good, the investment risk is relatively high, and the artists don’t earn much. He didn’t want Zhang Chengyuan to come here without blinking an eye, which made him very happy. He had made great efforts to raise enough shooting funds before.
Zhang Chengyuan said, "Well, I will, but you have to promise me conditions."
Jin-pyo Park horse restored calm and asked, "What are your conditions?"
Zhang Chengyuan said, "I have always had a wish-to direct an excellent movie independently. I have been working hard on this dream for several years. This time, I hope to learn from you your movie directing skills and practice it a little." Although Jin-pyo Park is not a movie director, all roads lead to the same goal. Since he won the best director of the Qinglong Award, there must be some merits, so Zhang Chengyuan hopes to get some advice from him.
"Do you want to be the assistant director of this film?"
"I hope that Director Park can succeed!"
Jin-pyo Park mused, "I promise this condition is nothing." Compared with Zhang Chengyuan’s investment of 1.5 billion yuan, this requirement is really nothing. Jin-pyo Park has no reason not to promise it.
Then Jin-pyo Park said, "Now let’s talk about your treatment. Do you have any requirements, such as salary?"
Zhang Chengyuan said, "I think even if I spend more than 1.5 billion yuan, the crew won’t have much money. Why don’t I learn from Mr. Xiang You and not get a fixed salary?"
"Do you want to be paid for acting and then get a box office dividend after the film is shown?"
"yes"
"You are so confident about this film? Not afraid to do so but suffer? "
Zhang Chengyuan said, "I believe that Director Park’s ability is also optimistic about Sister Ji Yuan and myself. I think this film will definitely be a hit."
Jin-pyo Park said, "I agree to your request in principle, but I have to consult with other investors’ representatives." Zhang Chengyuan’s reward method involves the interests of all investors, so it is not for him as a director to decide alone.
Zhang Chengyuan nodded "naturally"
Jin-pyo Park asked, "If you can’t meet this requirement, how much will you pay?"
Zhang Chengyuan said, "I heard that in the past, the top Korean actors were paid 600 million yuan for their films. Now that the market is sluggish, everyone has taken the initiative to lower their prices, so I’ll lower them by 400 million won."
Jin-pyo Park said, "This is not much for your current popularity and worth. I can promise to come. So what are the conditions?"
Zhang Chengyuan said, "In addition, I have always informed that many invited directors can sometimes make it convenient for me to take occasional leave from the crew after filming, which will definitely not affect the normal filming process."
Jin-pyo Park said, "I’ve heard from Miss Ha Ji Won and other people in the industry about your filming habits. It’s nothing. Many busy top artists often do this. If it doesn’t affect filming, I’ll approve your leave."
Zhang Chengyuan said, "Thank you, Director Park. Now I have no other special requirements. Please send someone to discuss the details of the remaining contract with my brokerage company."
Jin-pyo Park said, "Okay, that’s it. Well, let’s call it a day. I have some other things to deal with, so I’ll leave now." The crew has something waiting for him.
Jin-pyo Park was born in 1966, and he is only 43 years old this year. He is still young in the directing field. Although the number of films he directed is not large, there are three regular films today, but each one is very eye-catching and the box office is also very good. He is an excellent director who is good at describing people’s good feelings in camera.
