The time came a week later.

In a conference room somewhere, Ye Zhiqiu and Jin Meiying's team sat opposite each other.

"Two scripts." Ye Zhiqiu said.

An assistant had already handed over the printed materials. A glimmer of joy flashed in Kim Mi-young's eyes. She suppressed her inner excitement, took one of the copies calmly, and kept "bargaining" in her mouth.

"Oppa Zhiqiu, you said it would be better than "Secretly Great"."

"If it's not well written, I won't do it."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and did not respond to her.

Kim Mi-young looked at the name on the cover of the script in her hand, and saw two names written in Chinese and Korean respectively.

——"Half Century of Promise", and "International Market".

When she saw the words "international market", Jin Meiying was slightly stunned.

"Guojie Market" is one of the representative traditional markets in Busan. It was first established in the 50s. This place has witnessed the social changes of an era and is also an important historical landmark in the area.

But why name the movie after this?

With a hint of doubt, Kim Mi-young opened the script.

At this time, other members of the team also followed suit.

After all, it involves a huge investment in two movies. It is no exaggeration to say that these two works are related to the survival of SG Entertainment's film and television business, so it is naturally necessary to be cautious.

At the end of the seat, Han Ji-soo looked curiously at the script in her hand titled "My Sassy Girl".

This name is much simpler and more straightforward. It is a romantic comedy.

The story tells the dramatic and romantic love story between the honest college student "Qianniu" and the beautiful and lively girl "Song Mingxi".

The story begins with two people meeting on a subway platform late at night.

While waiting for the subway, the male protagonist Qianniu found the drunk female protagonist staggering at the edge of the platform, but the subway was approaching at a high speed. At the critical moment, Qianniu caught up and pulled her back.

Once on the subway, Qianniu found that the girl's behavior was even more shocking.

When she sees an elderly person standing, she will ferociously ask the gangster-like person to give up his seat. If the gangster refuses to argue, she will slap him in the face.

The gangster gave up his seat reluctantly because there were so many people around. But when he was about to leave, she stopped him and gave him instructions in a serious manner.

"No more pink clothes."

Little gangster: “???”

The girl's behavior has nothing to do with the traditional image of a woman who is gentle and gracious. Instead, it highlights her toughness.

At this time, Han Zhixiu, who was reading the script, also had a strange expression on her face.

If I'm not mistaken, this is what Zhiqiu Oppa said, that he wanted her to be the female lead in the script, right?

This role...compared to the roles she has played before, it is really subversive.

In real life, my personality is more like a "good girl" type, so it is quite challenging to play this role.

But... it seems interesting too?

In the story, the heroine Song Mingxi's more "ferocious" behavior is yet to come.

After chasing away the thugs and helping the gray-haired old man get a seat, the drunken heroine's stomach churned in the shaking subway car.

She covered her mouth with her hands, and when she was about to spit it out, she swallowed it back with all her strength.

When seeing this part, Han Ji-soo's whole fair face wrinkled into the expression pack of "old man on the subway looking at mobile phone", with disgust all over her face.

Ugh! How can I act like this?

However, the physiological reaction of the heroine's body eventually overcame her will. Her mouth puffed up and then she spurted out all the liquid onto the head of the old man who had just sat down.

Uncle: So you asked me to sit down just to endure this! ?

The distressed old man trembled as he took off the wig covered with vomit, but the heroine, who was thought to have finished vomiting, vomited again.

"Puchi~" Seeing this, Han Zhixiu finally couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

In the quiet conference room, the girl's laughter was so loud that everyone turned their eyes in her direction.

Han Ji-soo, who became the focus of attention, blushed and apologized quickly.

When everyone turned their eyes back to the script in their hands, Han Zhixiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and dared not make a sound anymore.

But...this plot is really funny, how could they hold it back?

Han Zhixiu quietly looked at the others and was surprised to find that those who were watching "My Sassy Girl" like her were fine, but those who were watching another script all had frowns and looked bitter and resentful.

Some of them even had red eyes, and were obviously experiencing great emotional fluctuations.

What was in the other script that could move people so much? Han Zhixiu felt confused.

More than half an hour passed, and after exchanging scripts, Han Zhixiu saw another story called "International Market".

Then, she finished watching the whole thing with tears and snot.

Kim Mi-young's team could not find any faults with these two scripts.

Especially "International Market", the story reflects the national history through personal destiny, and tells the changes of history from the fate of a family, which fully reflects the saying that "the dust of history is a mountain when it falls on an individual."

Compared with the original version, Ye Zhiqiu downplayed and deleted the overly political and ethnic content in the story, and used more space to depict the story about family and kinship, and the plot is also more tear-jerking.

For South Korea, which is deeply influenced by Confucian culture, this story is extremely devastating.

In the past, the number of Korean moviegoers for the movie "Go Go Squid!" accounted for nearly 30% of the total population. After the movie was released, the number of applications to the Red Cross for finding relatives surged by 300%, and it was even used in a large number of academic papers, which shows how strong the social impact it produced was.

Obviously, Kim Mi-young's team was extremely satisfied with the script, and the only thing they were worried about at this time was.

"The script is good, but the requirements for the male lead actor are very high. After all, he needs to play a role that spans several decades. I wonder if Mr. Hwang Jung-min..."

The success of this movie depends on the acting skills of the male lead, and the actor Ye Zhiqiu designated is not one that SG Entertainment is familiar with, so it is normal for them to have concerns.

At the scene, Huang Zhengmin didn't waste any time and just tried out a scene.

Then, everyone from SG Entertainment was speechless.

With this kind of ability, he would be a movie emperor no matter where he is!

"What about the other one?" Kim Mi-young suddenly asked at this time.

"The male lead of My Sassy Girl, I wonder if you, Qiu Oppa, can play the role. We can also make this movie together."

After she finished speaking, Han Zhixiu looked at Ye Zhiqiu expectantly.

Couple! Zhiqiu Oppa and myself acted...

However, Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and rejected this proposal without even thinking about it.

"Forget it, I don't have time."

"Besides, this character image is not suitable for me."

"You guys should find someone uglier."

Han Ji-soo: “…”

It would be fine if you don't want to act yourself, but you also want to find an ugly person to play my lover?
