"Didn't you say you weren't going to work with SBS this year?" Tang Jinyan didn't take the materials and asked curiously, "Why?
Is it because the script is so good that it made you change your mind? "
Song Ji-hyo smiled and said, "You probably don't know, but D Society said that because of you, S * M has shelved their hype plan for more than two years."
Tang Jinyan was stunned. "What does that have to do with the drama?"
"Of course it has something to do with it, that's the theme of the drama."
Song Ji-hyo sighed emotionally. "How much of the news that people see is the truth, and how much is what others want them to see?"
"Oh …"
"If S * M's hype plan is really implemented, the industry will be in turmoil and the fans will cry, but what's the use?
People will never know if it's real or fake, the truth will never be known by the public.
Just like how people will never know why Chulong's name appeared in the executive director position of CUBE. Most people won't even be able to tell if it's just someone with the same name or the real Chulong. "
Tang Jinyan tilted his head and looked at her for a while. He laughed and said, "Interesting.
Is this theme provided by SBS? "
"It's the work of SBS's famous scriptwriter, Park Huilian. Our Eun-kyung was once the second female lead in her 'Dream High'."
"Then this time, Eun-kyung will be the first female lead." Tang Jinyan smiled. "This drama is good, I'll make the decision."
"Are you making the decision because of Eun-kyung or because you like this drama?"
"It's both … Especially the fact that this drama is shrinking to explore, it's also a question that I've been thinking about."
Tang Jinyan muttered, "I believe the audience will also resonate with this drama. I have a feeling that it will become a hit."
Oh my god, Tang Jinyan is using his great prophecy again.
Song Ji-hyo even wanted to laugh. A person who hasn't watched TV dramas has the nerve to talk about "resonance", but she didn't dare to refute him.
That yuri drama was still right in front of him. Who knew how long this guy's luck would last?
"Alright, then I'll gather the people from the TV drama department to study it." Song Ji-hyo took the materials and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, you didn't tell me the name of the show …"
"You don't even know the name of the drama and you dare to say that you can become famous. I haven't even cut you down yet!"
"…"
"Okay, okay, this drama is called …" Song Ji-hyo looked through the materials again to confirm. She looked up and said, "Pinocchio."
*****
Tang Jinyan did not really believe in luck, but he did believe in fate a little. Did it sound a little contradictory?
He didn't know if this was considered a contradiction.
Anyway, he always felt that sometimes there was a line in the unseen world that connected seemingly unrelated things together.
It was like an S&M hype plan that didn't come to fruition, but it caused a rush in the heads from him to Song Ji-hyo. New Village Entertainment's original plan to not produce TV dramas this year was changed, and the "Pinocchio" crew was set up.
The old work of the "Pinocchio" scriptwriter was connected to Han Eun-kyung, so Tang Jinyan didn't even bother to understand the character's image and directly put Han Eun-kyung in the position of the female lead.
Interestingly, Kim Kwang-soo was also planning a solo for Han Eun-kyung at this time. If nothing unexpected happened, it might start around the same time as the broadcast of "Pinocchio", so it could be mutually beneficial.
The most important thing was that no matter from which angle, Eun-kyung should be the female lead.
It was now 2014, two years after the initial exclusion.
New T-ara fans might only know that Park Ji-yeon was T-ara's team ACE, but they didn't know that there was a brilliant acting career that could almost crush any female idol of the same period, Han Eun-kyung.
After playing the second female lead in the "Dream High" mentioned by Song Ji-hyo, Han Eun-kyung's career reached a terrifying climax.
In June 2011, she starred in the movie "White: Melody of the Curse". In November, the TV series "Ancient Kings of Near Likeness" premiered. In December, the TV series "Concubine Rencui" premiered. At the end of the year, she was the MC of the MBC Ballad Battle.
In 2012, the movie "Five Fingers" was forcibly expelled due to the exclusion. The national variety show "We're Married" sadly dropped off the production. Her acting career came to an abrupt end until Tang Jinyan launched the Yuri drama.
She was the one who stood the highest and fell the most painful. Therefore, she was the one who was shone the darkest under Tang Jinyan's light. His mentality had always been easy to see through, but he knew too little about Tang Jinyan in the past.
Even if he learned more about it later, Tang Jinyan's thoughts were too many and couldn't be meticulous about everything.
If there wasn't something special to remind him, he might not have thought of restarting Han Eun-kyung's acting career. Of course, Han Eun-kyung herself wouldn't have mentioned it, so it could only be done in the distant future.
Coincidentally, there was this incident that reminded Tang Jinyan. Without another word, he slammed down the gavel.
Maybe fate was just a coincidence. Everything was just a boat reaching the end of the bridge. When it was time to come, it would naturally come.
Tang Jinyan tidied up the documents on the table, stood up, and went to the set of T-ara to visit. His main purpose was to tell Han Eun-kyung about the female lead.
"Eun-kyung?"
On the set, Park Soyeon didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she chased away Tang Jinyan, who rarely came to visit. "Eun-kyung doesn't have any scenes today. She didn't even come out of the dormitory!"
Tang Jinyan felt fate once again. It was as if Han Eun-kyung was deliberately waiting for him at home.
He didn't even think about whether Eun-kyung had gone out or not. He had a very strong feeling that she must be at home.
He turned back to T-ara's dormitory and saw Han Eun-kyung, who was making juice in the corner of the living room.
Her hair was getting longer and longer, almost reaching her neck.
When she was filming, she always wore a wig and combed her hair, barely maintaining her original short hairstyle. In the dormitory, she let her hair down carelessly. It was neither too long nor too short and did not look good. However, in Tang Jinyan's eyes, all he saw was a sense of carefreeness and ease.
She was making watermelon juice and humming a very cheerful tune. Tang Jinyan recognized that it was their old song, "Just Like Back Then."
Maybe it was just like back then … No, it should be better now?
Tang Jinyan walked over slowly. Han Eun-kyung only then realized that he was back. She turned her head and asked curiously, "Why are you back so early today?"
Tang Jinyan hugged her from behind and said with a smile, "I knew you were at home, so I came to have an affair."
Han Eun-kyung laughed and handed over a glass of watermelon juice. "Drink some?"
"I'm not thirsty. You can drink it yourself."
Han Eun-kyung did not drink it herself. She put the watermelon juice aside and said with a smile, "Don't tell me you came back just to eat me?"
"A little."
"I'm not dressed up now. I don't look good."
"I think you look good."
Although he said that, Tang Jinyan still did not move. Han Eun-kyung knew that he was just teasing her. She said, "Alright, no one can see through your guts now.
Are you looking for me for something? "
"Yes, I got you a TV drama. The female lead."
Han Eun-kyung was stunned and laughed. "Are you trying to show off?
You're acting like a child. "
"No, I just thought you would be happy, so I wanted to share it with you earlier."
Tang Jinyan said seriously, "Enjing … I'm still too careless in many aspects. I should have done this a long time ago, but I've been neglecting it. I should apologize to you. I haven't done anything."
"I'll be happy."
Han Eun-kyung turned to look at him for a while and said softly, "I'm happy because you have the intention, not because you're the female lead … Actually, at this time, career is really not that important. Everyone has the same thoughts."
"Well … let's not talk about career. Is it to make up for your regrets?"
"You're right."
Han Eun-kyung did not ask what drama it was. Instead, she smiled and said, "You're so good. How do you want me to praise you?"
Tang Jinyan shook his head and said, "How can I have the face to ask for praise? As long as you don't blame me for being biased and only thinking of getting you a drama after so long."
Han Eun-kyung looked at him in surprise. After a while, she shook her head and said with a smile, "OPPA, if you always want to be fair, you'll have a hard life in this life.
As long as you're human, how can you not be biased? Besides, it's right for you to be biased. "
It was Tang Jinyan's first time hearing this. "What do you mean?"
Han Eun-kyung smiled slightly. "There's only one person you should be biased towards. Her name is Park Soyeon."
Tang Jinyan was in a daze. It was as if he saw Park Soyeon from the first time they talked. She was saying to him, "Eun-kyung is the most considerate."
Then, the scene changed to Park Ji-yeon under the starry sky that night. She muttered, "I don't believe there's anyone better than Eun-kyung at taking care of others."
He could not help but sigh and whisper, "T-ara is lucky to have you."
"No." Han Eun-kyung shook her head and smiled. "T-ara is lucky to have you."

PS: By the way, does Hong Shengcheng's book count as me taking a bite out of it?
It's also a Korean entertainment novel … If CUBE goes bankrupt one day, I'll take the blame.
