The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 599 Director Luo's Obsession

The three stood on the stage at the door, pursing their lips and facing the crowd taking pictures below, but they still didn't want to show their backs, it would be nice to have a frontal shot.

It's just that the reporters and fans below didn't do it, and the waves of shouts never stopped: "Turn around!" "Come closer" "Hold your shoulders!"

Li Menglong acted as if he didn't hear anything, his hands just clasped and drooped naturally, and then turned slightly. As for the so-called requests, Li Menglong could only say that it would be good if he could come today, don't expect him to do too much.

Liu Zaishi and Liu Zaishi have the same thoughts. Normally, they would be so tough with media fans, but today they are not in a good mood, and after seeing Director Luo, they thought of the scene in Paris. It is rare for them to be able to call the shots. , how could he give Director Luo a good face.

Director Luo came up and pretended to persuade a few words, but seeing the eyes of the three of them as if they were looking at the air, Director Luo also sighed secretly. Today's event was not arranged by him, and he made such a grand press conference. I want to please the three of them, after all, Director Luo still wants to have a second shot if he has a chance.

In fact, there were only a few hundred spectators at the scene, but the location was small so it seemed that there were more people. As for the reporters, there were quite a few of them.On the one hand, it is due to the appeal of the three of Liu Zaishi, and on the other hand, it is because of SW's current status and face.

Although sw is a complete junior in terms of its development years alone, it has already begun to take shape, especially unlike pure singer companies like s*m or jyp, sw's industry division is more even.

Maybe the singing industry alone can't compare to some established entertainment companies, but if all the subsidiaries are added, sw can already have the qualifications to impress people.

Naturally, Li Menglong didn't care about these things, and besides, the number of reporters who came had nothing to do with him, and he didn't rely on his popularity for food.

As for the press conference itself, it is only for movies and TV dramas. Generally speaking, singers also get this kind of treatment when they release regular albums. Therefore, Liu Zaishi, relatively speaking, has never seen such a scene among the three.

"What are you going to do for a while?" Liu Zaishi asked curiously, after all, there are still so many memories, it's not good to be ashamed.

"Just asking questions, about this show, and then maybe Director Luo will come forward to explain, and finally put a trailer or something." Li Menglong thought for a while and said: "But this is the process of the movie. As for the variety show, I will I don't quite understand."

As a matter of fact, Li Menglong has guessed pretty well, or Director Luo couldn't come up with any new tricks. The three of them made gestures and movements according to the reporter's request. This was another posing, just to let them It's impossible to turn around.

The three of them plus Director Luo, the four of them are the main force of today's press conference. After everyone was seated, the reporters in the audience didn't know what to ask for a while. After all, it was the first time for everyone to see a variety show press conference.

"Why don't I complain first?" Li Menglong asked in a low voice, which was a relief for the silence of the scene.

"To put it simply, this show is a hoax. A wretched director with a bad reputation deceived three honest and honest people. In short, we had a miserable life in Paris!" Li Menglong concluded with some exaggeration.

However, the reporters still like this, and with Li Menglong's words at the bottom, the reporters can ask more things, and the scene slowly became active.

As for the questions, there are all kinds of questions, and some of them are the ones that follow the rules, so I leave it to others to answer. Li Menglong specifically picks out the weird questions to answer.

"May I ask if the three of you and Director Luo are still friends after this incident?"

"That's a good question. Which newspaper is it? It's very in-depth." Li Menglong poked his head out to look at Director Luo who was on the other side of the long table, and wiped the sweat from his brow with a guilty conscience: "I can only say this , After this show, I didn’t even receive an apology from the director team, don’t they know how much harm they have caused us in Paris during this time?”

"But there is one thing to say, you are naturally responsible for the show after taking this money, and you should suffer some hardships."

Li Menglong almost thought that this reporter was hired by Director Luo, otherwise, how could he be so eager to clean up Director Luo? In fact, Li Menglong was overthinking, he just had a more sense of justice.

It's just that this problem made the three brothers fully reflect on one thing. From the beginning to the end, it seems that no one has asked them about the cost of acting. Don't say that a trip to Paris plus the extra thousand euros is the reward.

Although he didn't value the money, if Director Luo dared to say that, Li Menglong would have dared to fight with Director Luo on the spot. He was not such a bully.

Luckily, Director Luo was well prepared. He even thought that he would offer a red envelope to the reporter in private: "This variety show itself is an attempt, so the reward is also the same. The three of them will share [-]% of the income from this variety show. I personally promise that their guaranteed minimum income is at least [-] million yuan, and if it is not enough, I will personally make up for it.”

Director Luo finally said something decent this time. Liu Jae-shik is naturally the top one in the remuneration of Korean hosts, and the average recording of a program is about 1500 million to 2000 million.

If one episode of the program counts as one day of recording, it means that this time Liu Zaishi's average income for one episode or one day is at least 5000w, which is finally worth the hard work of the three of them.

In fact, money is at least not that important to these three people now. Director Luo's ability to offer such a sky-high price is mainly to highlight the recognition of the three brothers, no matter in terms of effect or hard work.

So this attitude is worthy of affirmation. Besides, if the ratings are low, what face do the three of them have to take the money? It is estimated that they will return it to Director Luo in the end, so Director Luo is the smartest person. He is the director.

There were all kinds of problems, but fortunately, except for Jin Zhong, the four of them were also very talkative, so they should not be too cheerful with the reporters. In the end, the backstage staff couldn't stand it anymore, and even released the trailer for this variety show.

The three of Li Menglong and Li Menglong watched this preview for the first time, so they all stared sideways at the projection wall on the side: at the beginning of the picture, it was pitch black, and only the sound of wind blowing could be heard.

Then, like typing on a computer, words finally appeared on the screen: What is youth?For us, youth is a journey that just goes away!

Then the screen was divided into three equal parts, the first photo on the left was Li Mong-yong, when he was riding a bicycle and turning around to call for someone; the photo of Kim Jong-kook on the right also fell down, it was a photo of him playing in Paris, his body dripping with sweat; In the middle, the photo of Liu Jae-shik slowly fell down. It looked like a green grasshopper eating a hot dog on the streets of Paris.

Comparing heart to heart, these three photos are quite handsome, and with some old-fashioned treatments, they are full of charm. It is rare for Liu Zaishi and the three to be satisfied with Director Luo.

It’s just that the turning point always comes so fast, the photos on the screen slowly fade, and then the text continues to appear: Youth travel is destined to lack some funds, so you will sleep on the street, you will not be able to eat big meals, you will not even I can't even sit in the car...

Accompanied by these words, Li Menglong already knew what was going to be shown later. Sure enough, the series of tragic scenes of them in Paris were simply tears for those who saw them. The reporters did not expect these three to be played so miserably.

The clip this time is much longer, but it finally ended, and the text was typed out again: Although the journey of youth is a bit hard, your gains will be worthy of all your sacrifices, to find your own youth Well, this is a story about a few old men who are still in puberty - Youth Over Flowers!
Meet with you on TVN at [-] o'clock on Friday night, and witness a youth who just left without saying it!

And the final background is the back view of four people sitting on the bench and welcoming the rising sun together.

Not only the reporters were amazed, but the three of Liu Zaishi also had to admire Director Luo's editing skills, and of course the creativity itself.A trailer for a variety show has caught up with a literary movie, why don't you do it like this!

If the reporter's Q&A just now made everyone feel that this variety show is full of laughs, then this trailer tells them that Director Luo wants to do more.

A variety show that has been filmed in advance from beginning to end is already an adventure and innovation in itself; and Director Luo wants to add some feelings to the variety show. Simply put, Director Luo does not want the variety show to be filled with laughter , He hopes to convey some perceptions and concepts to all audiences through variety shows.

No one believes or even probably no one can think that the functions of TV dramas and movies will one day be realized in variety shows. Isn’t variety shows just to make everyone laugh, so don’t variety shows have to subtly play the role of guiding and educating?

At first, the three of Li Menglong just felt that this variety show was a bit strange when they were filming. If there was no Liu Jae-shik, there would probably be less laughter. Only now did they know what Director Luo really meant.

No matter what the final result is, just because Director Luo has the heart and can put this idea into action, this behavior itself is worthy of the admiration of the three people, no matter what the final ratings will be, or lose their underwear, but the three Personally, I will never regret this encounter with Director Luo.

Silently stood up and walked to Director Luo, without saying a word, they just put their arms around Director Luo's shoulders. As brothers, they are willing to accompany Director Luo to do things that may be destined to have no results.

Director Luo was also a little emotional. He didn't tell anyone about this matter, because he felt a little overwhelmed, but he was really relieved to have his brother's understanding and support. At least someone recognized him.

The reporters couldn't say anything more. Although they felt a little disapproving, and even felt that Director Luo was entrusting the university, but the show didn't air for a day, these words had to be buried in their hearts. Let's take pictures first, and then there will be material for cursing people.

And the three people on the stage turned around for the first time, and the words on their backs were revealed in a row for the first time, and only Director Luo was facing the camera blankly.

I love you - Director Luo!
In fact, Li Menglong personally feels that it would be more appropriate to replace the love on his back with respect or something. Now this kind of confession is too flattering. Fortunately, he is not the one facing the camera. Maybe Director Luo should blush now?
