It is very similar to the previous work "Please Answer 2007", this "Please Answer 1997" is based on the previous work and puts the timeline in 1997 ten years ago.

Similarly, the core of the plot of this drama is to revolve around two words - star chasing.

The idol group mentioned in the play and the entertainment industry background have also been reduced from the previous work of Oriental Gods, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, Wirls, Kara, etc., to two kings with only one generation.

And it is worth mentioning that all the characters in the play live in Busan.

Seeing this, Jung Eun-di probably understood why this drama would be named to her to perform.

Lee Hyun-cheol likes to use idols and prepare to become idols to star in his works. This is now well-known in the entertainment industry, and it is also a very strange phenomenon in the eyes of regular actors.

But putting aside these things, there are many artists from Busan, but there are very few idols who are still in service among these Busan people.

By asking people around him, Lee Hyun-chul finally came up with a list:

Jung Ronghe of BLUE, Zhang Yourong of 2PM, Li Haoyuan of Infinite, Ren Shiwan, son of the Empire...

BTS’s Jeon Kwok, AOA’s Kwon Min A, After School’s Lizzy, and Jung Eun-di, who she is most familiar with.

After some consideration, Lee Hyun-cheol decided to let Jung Eun-di play the heroine in the play. No matter how you watch it, this drama is tailor-made for her.

As for other roles, the standards can be relaxed and chosen from these Busan-born idols.

When Jung Eun-di took the script from her agent, the script "Please answer 1997" was sent to a different idol group club after a "interest game".

After receiving the invitation to play the script, these affiliated clubs gave accurate answers before even a day was available, and their efficiency was unexpected.

It is normal to send an invitation from the producer to the other party’s company to find artists to negotiate, and then through contact between the two parties, sometimes it is normal to last for a week and a half month.

Zheng Endi didn't know that his company was the only one among these companies who first refused, but later turned to throwing opinions to her and letting her decide for herself, and clearly would not give any resources or work support.

Zheng Eun-soo, who was standing beside him, looked at Zheng Eun-di who was looking through the script from time to time and kept silent, probably guessed her attitude towards the script in her heart.

Cui Zhenhao's ideas and the power struggle between senior executives of the company, he is not qualified to intervene as an agent, but judging whether the script is suitable for the artist he teaches is suitable for him. This is a skill that every agent must possess.

There is no doubt that Jung Eun-di is not only suitable, but also must seize this opportunity.

If 2007 is the starting point for the glory of the second-generation group, then there is no doubt that 1997 was the ancestor of the kpop idol group and the era when the first-generation idol group was active.

This year, HOT and Crystal Boys were at their peak, the Internet was underdeveloped, and the concept of digital music had not yet been born and widely circulated.

The basis for the popularity of a group is the sales of albums purchased by fans. And it is a physical album, which is different from the queue for CDs in front of audio and video stores everywhere in Seoul after ten years.

In 1997, most fans in South Korea were holding cash in their hands and queuing at the door of banks or video stores. (Tickets for celebrities’ concerts were basically obtained through bank remittances)

Starting from the early morning, the albums of those popular Oppas across the country were really hard to find at that time. Many students would rather save money and would rather be cheated by scalpers than buy a tape album.

Tape album, what a thing that has been around.

Zheng Eun-di, who happened to be growing up in the 1990s, fell into a nostalgia for the past as the plot deepened.

She also collected a lot of tapes in her hometown in Busan, some of which were popular with her parents' era, and some of which were Trot songs that her aunts liked to listen to.

In short, people today may have only been able to understand that era on paper or the oral statements of elders, and cannot have a practical experience like Zheng Endi.

He finished reading the script without saying a word, Zheng Endi closed his eyes and systematically digested the plot of the entire script.

After opening her eyes, she looked at Jung Eun-soo who was waiting for the answer, and took a few deep breaths, "Oba, I will act in this drama no matter what."

"Did you decide?" Jung Eun-soo stretched. "You have to understand that you are different from the trainees who starred in "Please Answer 2007". You have already made your debut and have a little fame.

The public has always had a great prejudice against idol acting. No matter how famous the idol works are, once they are broadcast, they will fly overwhelmed with acting criticisms. Even if you act without a problem, they will scold them... Can you withstand this pressure?"

"I have to bear it even if I can't bear it. I'm a Busan native, and Busan native will not be defeated by pressure."

Jung Eun-di blinked, showing no sign of worry at all.

"What's more, this drama is about Busan. I am from Busan. Who in this world can understand Busan better than Busan?"

"Okay, if you decide, I'll report it to the company."

Taking out his cell phone, Zheng Enshuo called the company and turned around and walked out of the gym.

Busan people's 1997...Jung Eun-di held the script and opened it, closed it, opened it again, closed it again.

A figure of someone gradually popped up in his mind.

The only time I met Lee Hyun-cheol was in my memory.

I remember he said that he lived overseas since he was a child. How could such a person know Busan so well?

Even if you rely on the Internet to query information, you can't do this level, right?

As he thought about it, Zheng Endi didn't know that his curiosity towards Lee Hyun-chol began to rise from this time.

......

"I saw the text message you sent. Since it has been scheduled to be released in November, there is no need to change it.

Next, you have a good rest and shoot the variety show first. As for the new script, there are times when you can choose whatever you want."

Li Xianzhe hung up the phone when he looked up at the signpost of the "Chinatown ahead" that was so close.

An arrogant person like Kim Tae-ho would actually flatter him and tie the release date to his birthday this year, which he unexpectedly expected.

If Yoo Jae-suk knew about it, that brother would probably be jealous, right?

However, he couldn't let him think too much. When he was about to put down his phone and concentrate on driving, the text message interface suddenly popped up, which made Li Xianzhe concentrate again and slow down the speed and drive aside.

"Strange thing, how could these two people send me text messages? And the interval between them is not long."

Staring at the sender's notes on the message, Lee Hyun-chul narrowed his eyes slightly.

One is posted by Zheng Xiujing, and the content is that he hopes he can find an opportunity to discuss with Victoria about the future of F(x).

Another one is that the sender is a strange number, but at the beginning of the text message, the other party directly introduces himself.

This person is nothing else, it is Victoria mentioned by Jung Soo-kyung.

A person Lee Hyun-cheol always wanted to see, but never met.

S..M is from China, and he has basically met him once in the past. Except for Han Geng, the relationship between others and him is just purely a subordinate relationship, but he did not think about improving relationships with those people and increasing feelings.

Speaking of which, when Han Geng entered S.M in the early days, he was excluded by many local trainees. Many times he encountered him several times and then relied on Li Xiuman's reputation to help rescue the situation.

Even though he was very young at that time, he was intimidated by his identity, there was no trainee in S.M who dared to bully him.

Afterwards, he went to China to study, and after a long time Victoria entered S..M.

Before returning to China, Victoria has been staying in China due to its itinerary.

The appearance of this text message also made Lee Hyun-cheol realize that the problems left over by Kim Young-min and those shareholders before seemed to have not been completely solved.

Just like Zheng Xiujing's text message, she is trying her best to help.

Is Fx's future? Lee Hyun-chul shook his head.

I'm afraid it's Victoria's own future that is the real purpose.

According to time calculation, Victoria's contract is not much time to expire.

2009-2016.

Many companies will discuss whether to renew their contracts after one or even two years of contracts for their own artists. This period is also called a buffer period by many people. The two parties have a long negotiation on whether to renew the contract. During this period, the resources obtained by the artists will be in an extremely ambiguous state.

Either the pressure makes the body sub-healthy, or the less it seems to be half-hide.

When she thought about the subsequent development of this person returning to China after a contract, Li Xianzhe knew that it was probably at this time that she had already, or that she had already had the idea of ​​trying to expand into new fields.

For example, take the actor's path.
