Chapter 241 If It Were a Saint
"If you mean "Haeundae", then I do know a little bit."
"Haeundae" is a disaster film starring Sol Kyung-gu, Ha Ji-won, Uhm Jung-hwa and others. When Luo Junning found Ha Ji-won, the film had only been released for less than two months. It has been editing recently and is expected to be officially released in the near future, and the promotion is about to begin.
Luo Junning has some regrets about this film.
Because it has not been long since he "saw" this film, and when he "saw" this film, he thought about making it himself, because this will be the sixth work in Korean history to have a box office of more than 10 million people, and in the "real future", because "Uncle" without Luo Junning's intervention only had a box office of more than 6 million people, "Haeundae" will be ranked fifth.
It doesn't matter how much money you make.
The money that a Korean movie can earn is nothing to Luo Junning. What he cares about is the many awards that the movie can get in the end, which will add fuel to his status in the Korean entertainment industry and make him a more reliable support for four girlfriends including Quan Yuli. However, when he did some research as usual, he found that the movie had already been filmed by its original director Yin Jijun.
If it weren't for this, Luo Junning should have become close to Ha Jiyuan because of this movie, and he wouldn't be as passive as he is now in this "Secret Garden".
Well... But after learning about Ha Jiyuan's temper today, Luo Junning suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing that "Haeundae" did not become his work. By the way, in the future, I must bring Hyun Bin with me to meet Ha Jiyuan, and I can't let Hyun Bin escape in advance, otherwise I will become the object of teasing by the evil sister?
"So, you really want to take advantage of the popularity of this movie?" Ha Jiyuan asked with a smile.
Luo Junning shook his head and said seriously: "If we calculate it by time, no matter how I explain, I will be suspected of riding on the popularity. However, do you think I will attach so much importance to a movie that has not yet been released? No matter how great Haeundae is, can you guarantee that it can be compared with "Uncle" I shot last year?"
It is indeed incomparable!
Ha Ji-won took a four-year break and ended her "retreat" because of the script of "Haeundae". However, no matter how confident she is about this movie that has not yet been released, she does not have enough courage to compare it with Luo Junning's "Uncle", which broke through the box office of 13 million people in less than a month after its release. In the end, if it were not for Luo Junning's nationality that made some people in the upper class think about it, "Uncle"'s performance would definitely be the top two in Korean history, or even the first.
Such a performance,
Is it comparable to "Haeundae" that has not yet been certified by the market?
Ha Ji-won looked at Luo Junning deeply and did not dwell on this matter anymore.
After taking a sip of coffee, Ha Ji-won suddenly laughed, with a trace of arrogance and pride that is rarely seen in women: "Secret Garden is not an uncle, and, brother Junning, why do you think I will be convinced by you? Why don't you act in a movie and act in a TV series?"
The level of artists in South Korea is very clear. Actors are higher than singers, and singers are higher than variety show actors. In the actor circle, movie actors are much higher than TV actors. This clear level even makes those movie actors rarely willing to come back to act in TV series. If for nothing else, they just can't lower their style and status.
Unless...
Luo Junning chuckled and said, "But why do I feel that you have agreed, Nuna?"
Ha Ji-won raised her eyebrows and looked at Luo Junning with a smile, and Luo Junning also looked at Ha Ji-won without showing any weakness, with the same strong confidence, which surprised Ha Ji-won. He was just a poor little brother bullied by his sister, but now he suddenly became so confident.
This little man is really strange. No wonder she likes this little guy so much and is trapped in love for him. I used to think it was funny that the girl was unbalanced because of her age. Now it seems that there are really a lot of stories in it!
Ha Ji-won muttered a few words in her heart, put down the cup, and smiled: "My salary can't be low, otherwise I won't be able to mix in the film industry in the future."
"It will definitely not be low!" Luo Junning smiled.
Ha Ji-won nodded, picked up her handbag, and suddenly said: "Let's go to the nightclub to celebrate and drink together in the evening, and then I will introduce you to a few young ladies?"
Luo Junning: "..."
At the end, Luo Junning was teased by Ji-won. I wonder if he is now afraid of nightclubs, drinking, and especially drinking with sisters with bad personalities?
After confirming the leading male and female roles, Luo Junning did not look for the remaining male second, male third, and female second in the "real future" individually. Instead, he only sent an audition invitation to their agencies after announcing the auditions for the new drama. If they passed, they would naturally be used. If they did not meet Luo Junning's requirements, they would naturally be eliminated and more capable people would take over.
It's no wonder that Luo Junning did this.
Compared to not wanting to snatch other people's opportunities, Luo Junning will still give the 'original owner' a chance now, but he will not force it. After all, he is not a saint. As time goes by and he grows up, he also finds that the one he should be most grateful to is not the 'original owner' in these works, but Quan Yuli.
In the past, Quan Yuli's rejection hurt him and made him want to 'compensate' these 'original owners', but now, one chance is enough.
Selfish?
Maybe, people are selfish, except saints.
Let's not talk about whether there are saints in this world, at least Luo Junning is not a saint. He can laugh and scold, go to nightclubs with his buddies, and then fight together. He will also do some of the jobs he used to dislike the most for some reasons. If he is a saint, will it be like this?
If he were a saint, he would not be so cowardly in relationships, and he would not have four girlfriends. Even though he knew what they wanted most, he could not make a final choice, but kept his current state that seemed incredible to others.
If he were a saint, he would not suddenly think of something impolite after seeing Liu Renna's current outfit, ahem!
