The next day, Huahai Entertainment Building.

In the conference room, Kim Mi-young and members of the SG Entertainment team were sitting there.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Accompanied by an apology, Ye Zhiqiu hurried into the conference room and sat down opposite Jin Meiying.

Jin Meiying glanced at the high-end brand watch on her wrist and said with a smile, "I was almost late, Zhiqiu Oppa."

"...I slept late last night." Ye Zhiqiu explained.

"Let's not waste everyone's time. The script is ready. Let's read it first."

At Ye Zhiqiu's signal, the staff brought out the script prepared in advance and distributed it to several people.

After receiving the script, Kim Mi-young immediately focused her attention on the title on the homepage.

——"The Host".

The name is very direct and you can tell the type of script at a glance.

The Han River is a river in northern South Korea, with a total length of about 514 kilometers. It is an important geographical landmark known as the "Mother River" of South Korea.

The conference room fell into silence, with only the sound of flipping pages.

Due to commercial confidentiality, the script was only shown to a few core members of SG Entertainment. The rest of the team members with lower status could only wait on the sidelines.

On the other side of the seat, the bored Han Zhixiu secretly observed everyone's expressions.

I noticed that both President Kim Mi-young and Director Park Jung-hyun had serious expressions on their faces and seemed to be fascinated by the show.

Jin Junxuan, the young screenwriter newly signed by the company, was sitting in the most relaxed posture. He leaned back in his chair, flipping the pages of a book with one hand, and his expression seemed a little disapproving.

After looking at her own side, Han Zhixiu secretly looked at Ye Zhiqiu, but she didn't expect that Ye Zhiqiu was also looking at her.

Their eyes met in mid-air. Han Ji-soo, who was discovered, blushed instantly and quickly looked away in panic, her heart pounding.

Ye Zhiqiu's expression was calm, and he suddenly asked, "Zhixiu, can you shoot arrows?"

Han Zhixiu was stunned for a moment, her face still a little hot, and she replied softly: "Yes, it is taught in the physical education class at school, and I also joined the archery club in high school."

"But it's just amateur play, not as professional as it is."

Archery is a very popular sport in South Korea. There are archery courses from elementary school to university, so most people have some basic knowledge.

"That's enough." Ye Zhiqiu nodded.

Just when Han Zhixiu was curious about why Ye Zhiqiu suddenly asked this, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly pushed the script in his hand to her.

"Here, you can take a look at it first."

Han Zhixiu was startled and said subconsciously: "Is this... okay?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "It's okay. There's a role in it that's quite suitable for you. It's okay to watch it in advance."

Han Ji-soo looked at Kim Mi-young, who was still looking at the script, with a guilty conscience. When she found that she didn't express any other opinions, she happily picked up the script in front of her.

"Thank you Zhiqiu Oppa~"

Silence returned to the conference room. On the side, Jin Junxuan looked up at the two of them, and a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Here, Han Ji-soo opened the script with curiosity and anticipation.

Given that SG Entertainment wanted to make a "science fiction film" but had limited budget, Ye Zhiqiu felt that "The Host" was the most suitable choice.

In its previous life, this science fiction thriller achieved huge box office success after its release, becoming the highest-grossing film in Korean film history at one point, and also achieved quite good box office results in the international market.

This film not only won multiple awards in major Korean film awards, but more importantly, it triggered widespread social discussion and has relatively far-reaching significance in both art and culture.

The film mainly tells the story of an ordinary family who runs a convenience store on the bank of the Han River and their terrifying experience of encountering a monster.

The cause of the story is also very realistic, critical and ironic. The US military morgue illegally poured a large amount of deteriorated formaldehyde into the Han River, causing the aquatic organisms to mutate and form a huge monster.

——The consequences of random storage!

A brutal monster wreaked havoc on the banks of the Han River and kidnapped the little girl of the protagonist's family. The girl's father turned to the government for help, but the response he received was indifference and neglect, and he was even treated as a mental patient.

——Scold the US military first, then curse the government!

In desperation and helplessness, the girl's father led his family in a desperate fight with the monster without any outside help, and finally succeeded in destroying the monster.

This film combines elements of science fiction, thriller, action and drama. What is even more commendable is that it is different from the ordinary "Hollywood science fiction" routine. It is a combination of science fiction monster movies and Korean localization. It combines unique creativity with some social issues in reality, which makes the audience feel refreshed.

The film wins by its plot and the thrilling and tense feeling it creates. The main expenditure on special effects is on the monsters themselves, and there are not many shocking special effects scenes that burn money every second.

In general, although the production cost of about 1 million is not small, it is already a very cost-effective choice for a science fiction movie.

Sitting in her seat, Han Ji-soo was reading the script intently.

She was attracted from the beginning of the story, which took place on the Han River, and SG Entertainment's headquarters was located in Gangnam District, Seoul.

When they were trainees of "MISS SIX", their dormitory was not far from the Han River. When they were tired from training, they would often go for a walk along the Han River with their friends to relax.

They even bought water at a store by the Han River. It can be said that they were fully involved in the story and felt extremely immersed.

When Han Zhixiu saw the scene at the beginning where the US military morgue poured harmful substances into the Han River, causing the monsters to mutate, she frowned and felt uncomfortable.

She remembered that this incident seemed to have a prototype and actually happened. When she was a child, the media reported on it for a period of time, which caused strong protests and demonstrations among the people.

Soon, Han Zhixiu saw the role that Ye Zhiqiu mentioned was suitable for her, which "requires archery."

The character's name is Park Nam-joo. She is the eldest daughter of the protagonist Park Kang-doo. She is a strong, decisive and brave girl.

When facing the monster crisis, Park Nam-joo did not panic like ordinary people. She not only protected her family, but also participated in the fight against the monster.

At the climax of the story, Park Nam-joo calmly shoots an arrow at the monster, dealing it a crucial blow, which is one of the highlights of the entire movie.

Overall, this is a very distinctive and outstanding character.

Han Zhixiu naturally liked the role of "Park Nam-joo" very much. Seeing this, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Ye Zhiqiu, her heart filled with joy.

After everyone put down their scripts, they all looked like they were still unsatisfied.

"Oppa Zhiqiu, the story is very well written." Kim Mi-young had a smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied.

However, a sudden sound was heard from the side.

"Excuse me."

"I object to this script!"
