augh, this child really didn't seem very bright."How have you guys been lately Any news about your debut" Ji Jingyuan asked with concern."Inside, talking about this... we've received news that the com...Even from afar, one could hear Kim Eun-sook's noticeably angry voice coming from the conference room. As several actors approaching the conference room exchanged glances, they unconsciously slowed their pace.
It's obvious that the crew is experiencing some conflict now. Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't want to stir up trouble at this time.
"En Shu is right, this villa you rented isn't very suitable. It doesn't look like a place where a big family would live at all. If we do an aerial shot for the exterior, the whole villa looks too small."
Director Gang Sin-hyok’s voice was steady, but one could still hear the dissatisfaction in it: “After En-suk xi perfected the script, it highlighted the differences between classes. These differences had to be expressed through many details.”
"Just like Jin Tan's villa in LA, although he was exiled there, the better his living environment, the more it highlighted the class difference."
Seeing that two key figures from the production crew had voiced their protest, the SBS liaison staff hurriedly bowed and explained with a bitter face: "PDni, writerni, it's really not that we haven't been working hard. It's just that this type of high-end villa is simply not common, and the owners usually don't rent out their houses at all. And now you want us to set up the scene here, for a short-term rental... "
"If you want to rent, you need connections and people who know them. The real estate agency doesn't have many resources in this area. There are really no suitable properties recently. This one we chose is already the best villa in terms of renovation and size compared to others..."
The staff was telling the truth. Although SBS has a branch office in LA, its connections and relationships can't compare to those on the Peninsula. The villa that made the director and writer unhappy was already carefully selected by them after careful consideration.
"Even so, the one you chose is too inappropriate. This kind of villa doesn't look like it's lived in by true high society. Wealthier artists could probably afford it... Let's look again. The whole series starts with a storyline in LA. We can't let this ruin the entire TV show."
"The film crew just got off the plane and needs to freshen up. Take advantage of these two days to work hard and contact other agencies. If it doesn't work out, there's nothing we can do but use this one..."
After discussing with Kim Eun-suk and other key creators, Gang Sin-hyuk still felt that the villa was unsuitable.
“Inside, we will continue our efforts.”
The staff members could only nod, indicating they would do their best to meet the crew's needs.
After they finished talking about this matter, a few actors and their agents agreed on a time and just happened to knock on the door.
"Annyeonghaseyo..."
After the greetings and formalities were over, everyone took their seats. Director Gang Sin-hyuk looked busy and didn't waste any time getting straight to the point: "Our shooting schedule and plan are already in place..."
As he spoke, the assistant got up and distributed several documents.
“Please take a look at your individual shooting schedules. Use these next two days to prepare while we have some time to adjust. We'll officially begin filming the day after tomorrow. If everything goes smoothly, the shoot in LA will last about twelve days.”
“The crew won't put too many restrictions on the actors, but if you want to go out, remember to tell the staff, and generally don't go out at night. If you do go out, it's best to go to places with a high concentration of Asians and avoid remote areas as the security here isn't very good at night.”
"Give me a thought, ah, from the Simitra."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After that, Jiang Xinxiao explained some other things to pay attention to and gave instructions to several artists' managers. Then he prepared to let everyone go back to rest and adjust to the time difference.
"Just a moment, Jingyuan..."
Just then, Kim Eun-sook suddenly called out to Ji-yeong.
Several other actors gave Park Kyung-won a strange look and stood silently on the side.
Chi Jingyuan smiled and stayed put, while everyone in the conference room was eyeing him out of the corner of their eyes. Especially the lead creators and SBS staff, their gazes were filled with curiosity.
When he was called, he already had an idea of what it was about.
"Jingyuan, I'm sure you heard what happened just now outside...I heard that you studied in LA for a few years and your family has quite a network here. Could you possibly help us with renting a villa"
Kim Eunsook looked at Ji-young, thinking for a moment before finally speaking. There was a sense of hope she placed in him.
After script revisions and increased investment and cooperation from SBS, the entire production team placed high hopes on the drama "The Heirs." They paid close attention to every detail.
And Jin Tan's villa in LA has a lot of shooting scenes. The better the house, the more luxurious it is, and the more it can reflect that sense of class.
A few female artists nearby, upon first hearing that Ji Kyeong-won studied in LA, couldn't help but cast curious glances his way.
"Well… Enshunna, what kind of house do you need"
Chí Jǐngyuán hesitated for a moment and asked.
"The larger the area and the more luxurious the decoration, the better, as long as it suits Jin Tan's identity and background."
Kim Eun-suk's eyes lit up when she saw the play, and she quickly told everyone about it.
"Inside, Jingyuan, if there's a way, please speak up. The current issue isn't budget constraints but rather the lack of available properties. The production team is definitely willing to pay market price for rent."
Ginger Xin-xiao also added a sentence.
As a director, he naturally knew about the behind-the-scenes maneuvering in casting decisions. He had also done some digging into Ji-won's background, who had taken over the role from Lee Min Ho, but the specifics were unclear. However, he knew that Ji-won came from a powerful background.
"PDni, Enshununa, I remember a villa that should meet your requirements, but I'm not sure if there are any residents there now. Let me contact them."
After considering it for a while, Chi Jingyuan decided to help the film crew out.
He doesn't really lose anything from this, and it allows the main creative team of the show to feel indebted to him. Moreover, the better this show performs, the greater the benefits he, as the male lead, will reap.
“Great! Please let us know as soon as you have any news.”
"I'll call back in a bit to check. I don't think there will be a problem, just wondering if the villa will meet your expectations."
"Then please, we trust your judgment..."
Hearing this conversation, several people standing nearby were puzzled. They didn't understand why the screenwriter and director were so confident about Ji Jingyuan's connections, as if they were certain that the house he arranged would satisfy them.
After finishing this matter, under the expectant gaze of everyone, Chi Jingyuan prepared to say goodbye.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered and quickly added, "By the way, if PDn doesn't have a filming schedule tomorrow, I want to go out for a bit. I should be back in the evening."
"No problem, I heard you've been here for a few years, so we don't have to worry about you... By the way, are you going to see friends"
"Ah, let's go visit our parents."
