Chapter 270: Do more than talk, IU's determination
January 10, 2018
9:30 a.m., TVN Broadcasting Bureau President’s Office.
Bong Joon-ho and Han Jin-won were chatting with Lee Sung-ho about movie shooting plans.
Lead actor Song Kanghao also came to the office. After sitting on the sofa, he looked around and said, "President Nim's office is a little too plain."
Li Chenghao joked: "It's not as good as Representative Bae Jonghan's office, right?"
Song Kanghao nodded seriously: "That's right, this shouldn't be the case."
Back to the topic of movies, Li Chenghao also asked Song Kanghao about his understanding of the script of this work.
Song Kanghao looked serious. In his opinion, the glamorous coat of H-drama has faded away. In real life, people are everywhere working hard for a living. It is not easy for ordinary families to raise a child. When the child grows up, he will become a child.
Hope for family livelihood.
But the reality is too cruel, which is why so many tutoring classes, judicial examination training classes and other industries have been created.
From the time when I was a student, only by studying hard can I find a way out. This is also the culture influenced and inherited by Confucianism.
Sky University has become a lifelong goal for students simply because consortium companies give priority to academic qualifications during interviews and recruitment.
Entering a consortium enterprise is equivalent to having a good life, which can improve the living environment of the family and create better living conditions for the next generation.
People who have graduated from ordinary universities or sky universities and have not found a good job will choose to pass the judicial examination to change their destiny, but there are only a handful of people who can leap over the dragon's gate.
Of course, there are also ways to become lawyers, doctors and other good professions. There are also many people who achieve this goal through personal connections when they are professional counterparts. To put it more simply, in such a small place as country H, it is easy to meet relatives or even yourself.
Relatives whom I don’t even know.
There are also some high-ranking people who rose from ordinary positions. These people will take care of the younger students in the same school, look after the juniors in the academy, etc.
The last step is to become an artist and carve out a path to fame in the entertainment industry. If you succeed, you will become a star that everyone admires. If you fail, the best outcome is to be submerged, and the worst outcome is...
"Parasite" basically restores this reality. One person in the family has climbed up to the line of tycoon. In order to make a living and change their destiny, they try every means to let other family members climb up to the same tycoon in different identities.
In reality, it is indeed not easy for rich and powerful families to get involved, but the works shot in this way can also reflect the most terrifying social phenomena.
The reason why famous actors become famous actors lies in their ability to interpret scripts. Only by interpreting the script well and understanding the structure of the entire story can they better understand the role they want to play.
Coupled with personal efforts and talents, what is finally presented to the audience is a masterpiece that can deeply impress the audience and trigger active discussions.
Song Kang-ho is one of the few famous actors who prefers realism-themed looks. If this role was given to Jo In-sung, Lee Byung-hun, Won Bin, and Hyun Bin, they would not be suitable.

Several people followed Li Chenghao to the news center on the fifth floor.
The production press conference has been set up, and reporters are sitting in designated seats waiting for the main creative staff of "Parasite" and production and distribution representatives to appear.

Li Chenghao shook hands with other people present and greeted them one by one.
Walking up to Jin Jixiu, Li Chenghao half-shaked her hand: "The suit today is not bad."
"Thank you, President Nim, for the compliment."
I was expecting that Li Chenghao would say a few more words to me, but after Li Chenghao took back his hand, he immediately walked towards Lee Sunkyun: "We are finally going to film our tvn TV series."
Li Sunkyun's voice is very recognizable, deep and deep, but there is a contrast between his voice and the character's image. He scratched his head and said: "President Nim, I have always wanted to film a tvn TV series, but I only recently received an invitation."
"Originally, Zhien was your partner, but because of my relationship, you have to find a new partner."
"It doesn't matter to me. It would be great if I could cooperate with iuxi, but there's nothing I can do if I can't."
Looking at Jin Jixiu: "How is she?"
Li Shanjun was slightly panicked. He didn't expect that Li Chenghao would suddenly ask about this.
How to answer, if you answer well, will Lee Sung-ho decide on the spot to make Kim Ji-soo his partner?
He had watched Kim Ji-soo's previous TV series "While You Were Sleeping" and his acting skills had improved significantly, but after all, he had not been in contact with Kim Ji-soo and could not make any comments.
It's not okay, let alone this. You should at least package it up in front of Kim Ji-soo, so that others can't lose face.
"Kim Ji Soo-xi is very beautiful and her acting skills are also very good. We should be able to find a tacit understanding after getting to know each other during this filming of the movie."
The answer was ambiguous. Lee Sung-ho smiled and said to Kim Ji-soo, "Let's work together on this movie. Learn more from Actor Lee, just in case you still have a chance to collaborate."
Jin Zhini heard the content of the two chatting. She was a little disappointed at first. Li Chenghao didn't even talk to her. Instead, he chatted happily with Li Shanjun.
Suddenly involving herself in the topic of chatting, it was an opportunity to star in a TV series. Kim Ji Soo was instantly happy again. After bending down and saluting, she said: "I will definitely study hard. I hope senior nim will not dislike me when the time comes."
Li Shanjun waved his hand quickly: "No, if you want to ask anything, feel free to ask me."
I said it in a polite way, but Kim Ji Soo took it seriously. Different seniors taught her acting skills and imparted her experience. This is a valuable asset that cannot be bought with money.
Kowloon Village
iu and Han Ji-eun came here again after less than 24 hours.
Different from yesterday, iu came today mainly to confirm the lack of basic living facilities in Kowloon Village.
With a pen and notebook in hand, I changed my shoes into boots at the door and walked on the muddy road that snowed last night, carefully observing every step.
In addition to the iron houses that are hot in summer and cold in winter, there are also many domestic wastes such as iron sheets, paper shells and plastic bottles piled up in the narrow lanes between houses.
In this cold climate, cockroaches and rats can also be seen scurrying around in the garbage accumulation areas.
"Unnie, did you see the bathroom on the way we came here?"
"No"
In front of the stairs
An old man wearing a worn-out winter coat and carrying cotton wool was sitting at the door of the house selling some basic daily necessities.
iu walked over slowly and squatted in front of the old man: "Old man, is there a public restroom in the village?"
The old man knows iu. Yesterday he was one of the people who accepted material donations. He is very grateful to this beautiful little girl with a kind heart.
People have come here before to do charity activities, but they were all for image projects. After living in Kowloon Village for decades, this is the first time I have seen big stars and chaebols sincerely helping with the whole process.
Unexpectedly, the big star on TV came again today, still dressed simply, with boots on his feet, holding a notebook and recording something seriously.
