one of the biggest agencies on the peninsula.But she never heard what she wanted to hear, only constant praise and empty reassurances, but no actual action.Pei Zhuxuan was very aware that she was diff...“………”

After hearing what senior Choi Sung-jun had said, Kim Eun-shul fell silent. She quietly sipped the coffee that had been sitting in front of her this whole time but untouched. Her pupils flickered slightly from side to side, indicating she was deep in thought, weighing her options with some internal conflict.

The other party said so much, and after she compared herself, she also found that Chi Jingyuan seemed more suitable than Lee Min Ho, whether it was age or other aspects.

Especially the identity of "heir" that Cui Chengjun finally pointed out, made her feel surprised and at the same time, her heart skipped a beat.

It's not that this point can be used as a gimmick for publicity. The Peninsula still has a serious problem with anti-rich sentiment. Making it the main focus of promotion could easily backfire. Neither TV stations, **, nor even Ji-young would agree to this.

You can mention it briefly, but don't go into specifics.

What's touching is that Kim Eun-suk is indeed interested in improving the script through understanding the lives of the actors, and she really wants to see what kind of sparks will fly when the two heirs in reality and in the drama converge.

However, she was undeniably also half a fan of Lee Min Ho. With the crew about to start building sets, the idea that her admired actor would be replaced was emotionally unacceptable to her...

Has SBS already made a decision

After considering for a while, Kim Eun-sook sighed and raised her head to ask.

"Opinions are almost unified, but no formal decision has been made yet. After all, the station still values your opinion very much…"

Choi Sung-jun shook his head, gave a "you're important" look, and continued, "That's why they sent me to persuade you. If you don't have any objections, I'll get in touch with ** afterwards."

"Well... you guys at the television station make the call, I'm just a screenwriter after all."

Kim Eun-sook sighed, her tone not very bright.

However, Choi Seong-jun knew this junior well and understood that she didn't really have any objections. She was just being stubborn about face. He immediately smiled and flattered her: "Don't say that. En-shul, your writing is already at such a high level; even the TV station would value it very much. Otherwise, I wouldn't come to persuade you, right"

"Lee Min Ho's side..."

After taking a sip of coffee, Kim Eun-sook's expression had completely returned to normal. After a slight pause, she asked.

Don't worry, we'll tell them that both the individual and their agency won't have any objections.

Cui Chengjun waved his hand casually and said lightly, "This kind of thing is too common, they will understand."

He's right, the entertainment industry on the peninsula is so small. Every year, major television stations only have a handful of big-budget dramas. The competition for every leading role is fierce, requiring agencies to leverage all their resources and connections to compete. As long as contracts aren't signed, anything can happen. Last-minute casting changes are not uncommon.

..."

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

Jin Eun-suk didn't speak, but she gently nodded her head in agreement.

"Well then, it's settled. I'll contact ** officially once I get back and we'll start the casting process for the other actors as well. If you have any suggestions or preferred candidates, Eun-suk, feel free to reach out to me."

This drama was delayed for a long time because of some unforeseen circumstances. Once the main cast is confirmed, the production team will immediately start preparing. After all, the station has arranged for this drama to follow "The Heirs" after "My Love from the Star," and time is very tight.

Things were settled, Choi Sung-jun also seemed to relax a lot. After chatting for a few more sentences, he prepared to get up and say goodbye.

"Senior…"

After Choi Sung-jun stood up, Kim Eun-shuk suddenly spoke: “I want to meet Ji Seong-won.”

"Heh heh, no problem, I'll get in touch." Choi Sung-jun was stunned for a second after hearing this, then suddenly smiled, met the junior's eyes, and blinked confidently.

You'll like him.

…………

"Okay, like that. Will you send the script over tomorrow Great, I'll study it carefully."

“…………”

"Hehehe, are you feeling safe Don't you know me"

"......"

"I understand, thank you for your hard work, Xian ge. I will be there on time. See you later."

Chi Jingyuan hung up the phone, in a good mood.

Just now, Pooki called and said that she had settled the cast for "The Heirs" and has already contacted ** Entertainment and sent out formal invitations.

When ** first received the invitation, they were really surprised. Recently, the casting of "The Heirs" has been a hot topic in the entertainment industry. After all, it's a new work by renowned writer Kim Eun-sook, who has successfully produced several TV dramas in a row. It is considered one of SBS's key projects for the second half of the year.

Moreover, ** itself is actively pushing for one of its idols to participate, but the competition is fierce, and there hasn't been any concrete confirmation yet.

Although they have a good relationship with SBS, their influence in the entertainment industry is still somewhat smaller.

Unexpectedly, Ji Jingyuan quietly secured the male lead role which was basically already confirmed to be Lee Min Ho's. In this time and situation, he pushed aside the original male lead, and some insiders in the company couldn't help but marvel at how much more powerful Ji Jingyuan, the famous royal family member of the company, is than they imagined.

But now that EXO has just made a comeback, “Growl” is super popular during its promotional and music show schedule. As the most popular member of the group, Ji-seung is going to film a drama. He will definitely be missing many schedules, so some pre-planned activities need to be rearranged.

Some members of the EXO schedule pool were absent, which will definitely have a significant impact on EXO. However, after weighing the pros and cons, **'s planning department had no major objections. Because with the huge success of "Growl," the popularity of other EXO members has been rising at an alarming rate, they are no longer just background dancers.

Especially the company's favored members, their current popularity surpasses that of other ordinary second- and third-tier boy groups, reaching the top tier.

** company doesn't actually like it when one member in a group becomes too popular. They try to avoid situations where the popularity gap between members is too wide, and other members end up being relegated to background dancers.

Because this combination of circumstances is not conducive to management, nor is it beneficial to company planning, and similarly unfavorable to the development prospects of the combination.

So previously, they would often take measures to prevent certain members from "going viral," shortened to "anti-viral."

...including but not limited to reducing parts, reducing C-position shots, reducing personal resources, and even returning to makeup deliberately made to look ugly on stage....

Sometimes fans feel that their idol's comeback this time, or a certain stage outfit, is strange and awful, looking hideous at first glance and completely unsuitable. While feeling confused, they angrily scold the stylist's level for being low, their aesthetics being deformed, urging them to resign immediately and get out of there before harming their idol.

Perhaps they haven't considered that appearance and makeup are core elements for survival in the K-pop industry. The stylists who work with agencies, like Cody, are all renowned professionals with widely recognized skills. Wouldn't they be able to see if the makeup and outfits aren't suitable

The company requires it.

If other members in EXO had this kind of popularity gap, they would have been dealt with by ** long ago. Only Park Ji-ung's situation is a little special...

However, now that "Roar" has become a hit, the popularity of the other EXO members is rapidly rising, which has eased the concerns of ** Entertainment, who were worried about the disparity in member popularity.

At this time, he is absent from some schedules, which gives other members a chance to get more exposure.

Although Chi Jingyuan's popularity is still the highest in the team, his fanbase was already large before, so his growth rate isn't as fast as his teammates. Other members are catching up quickly.

But at this rate of growth, it's going to take them a while to catch up...

** has never interfered with Jingyuan's personal schedule, let alone this kind of resources that many companies are fiercely competing for in the film and television industry.

After the surprise, they immediately held a serious discussion and agreed on several key matters, such as salary, publicity cooperation, shooting schedule, and coordinating shooting time to conduct EXO activities, etc. Then they were ready to sign the contract.

The official script will also be sent over tomorrow morning.

With that taken care of, Chi Jingyuan felt a weight lift off his chest. He gently placed his phone aside, flipped his hand, and retrieved the gaming console once more. He maneuvered his character, wielding a katana, charging towards the earth-chicken-tile dog before him.
