After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 532: Is Chinese entertainment more terrible than Korean entertainment? You are the worst!

"We will slowly lay out the plan. The decline of the TV station is foreseeable. There is no need to rush." ​​Li Mingyang lowered his head and thought for a while. "From what Li Meijin said, she doesn't want us to become big!"

"Without Korean drama content, FBTV has basically reached its peak..."

"Look at the bright side of things. We have entered the censorship committee here, and the streaming revenue here is also good. The only thing lacking is the content."

Zhang Wei wanted to say something but stopped herself, but there was no point in saying more, so she nodded calmly.

The review committee, she investigated, is a non-governmental organization.

You can't get in just by having money, you need an introducer.

Li Meijin had recommended her to the company a month ago. She was quite happy at that time, thinking she could show her talents. However, after a meeting, she found excuses to delay.

This organization is basically composed of people from the TV station. Their attitude towards Li Mei Jin is very complicated. They don't like her, and even hate her. They are unwilling to act in her role. However, they are surprisingly welcoming to her arrival, and their attitude is so good that Zhang Wei feels ashamed.

Today she finally understood why the Review Committee welcomed him.

This is because they are worried that they will buy the dramas at high prices, raising the upper limit of the drama purchase price in South Korea.

Zhang Wei glanced out the window.

If this is the only reason, there is nothing to worry about. Lowering the price together will also be good for FBTV.

But...are the goals of those people really that simple?

……

More than half an hour later, the Phantom stopped at the door of a somewhat dilapidated filming base. Li Mingyang got out of the car and headed for the crew of "Goodbye, My Soul Mate".

Goodbye My Soul Mate has started filming and will start at the end of March.

The combination of Xiao Shuijing and Jessica is not good and was rejected by Li Meijin.

The two are sisters. Not to mention the University of Tokyo, even the Koreans would be banned from the 15+ list. If they go a little too far, they might even be banned from the 18+ list.

After eliminating Crystal and Jessica, there are two groups left.

Li Meijin asked all four girls to join the group.

The advanced group will then choose the heroine depending on the situation.

If you can't play the female lead, you can play the female supporting role.

All four girls agreed.

The pay is quite low. The total pay for Lin Yuner, Xu Xian, Kim Go Eun, and Kim Ji Won is only 20...

It is given according to the standards of the sticks.

It’s really cheap, so cheap that even Li Mingyang finds it unbelievable...it’s like getting it for free.

These four can be said to be the four most expensive flowers of the new generation in South Korea.

Li Mingyang has been a bit busy recently, so Jing Tian is in charge of all matters concerning the crew, with assistance from the Qinglong team.

Interior shooting is complicated.

It is simple to say.

Li Mingyang has very low requirements for Jing Tian, ​​just enough for him to keep the crew working normally.

Unexpectedly, Jing Tian worked very seriously, went to bed early and got up early, and set an example. Many people in the Qinglong team praised her for being serious and responsible.

"Director Li, OK."

Li Mingyang had just walked into the studio when suddenly a dark shadow jumped out from the side, blocked his way, bowed and greeted him.

"Okay." Li Mingyang nodded with a smile.

Lee Kwang-soo smiled shyly and retreated silently.

He really wanted to chat more with Li Mingyang, but Li Mingyang didn't speak Korean, so there was no way to chat.

Li Mingyang glanced at the reserved giraffe and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that some people are really born to act in comedies.

Lee Kwang Soo is the male lead in Goodbye.

He doesn't look handsome at all, but the combination of a beautiful woman and an ugly man is quite comedic.

Li Mingyang stood at the door and quickly found Jing Tian with a glance.

Jing Tian was seen wearing a beige long coat and a ponytail. She was holding a script in one hand and a loudspeaker in the other, directing the staff to work.

Kim Go-eun, Kim Ji-won, Lim Yoona, and Seohyun sat in the corner, quietly, like four pieces of wood.

Except for Kim Go-eun who is not very pretty, the other three are definitely beauties.

Yoona is cuter, Kim Ji-won is more intellectual, and Seohyun is more artistic.

If we have to rank them, Yoona is still prettier.

He has a flat chest and his nickname is Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Yoona raised her hand, covered her mouth, and yawned out of boredom.

She came here for Li Mingyang.

And then I never met the director Li Mingyang... The boss of the crew was Jing Tian, ​​who was very demanding and fierce, really annoying.

"Yoona, is that man Mingyang oppa?" Seohyun poked Yoona's chest with her elbow and said.

Lin Yuner raised her arm and said to Xu Xian angrily: "Don't poke me all the time! You've made my breasts smaller."

"Don't care about those who don't have it." Xu Xian pointed at Li Mingyang who was not far away, "Look at that, look at that, is it Mingyang Oppa?"

Lin Yuner squinted in the direction of Xu Xian's finger, and her eyes suddenly widened, "It's really Mingyang Oppa, and Mingyang Oppa without sunglasses."

After saying that, Lin Yuna stood up.

Kim Ji-won and Go Jin-eun ran straight to Li Mingyang.

Xu Xian sat down and looked up at Lin Yuna in a silly way, "Should we go over too?"

"Oppa, you can't understand what we are saying, so what are you going to do?" Lin Yoona said this, but her legs were very honest and she walked towards Li Mingyang.

Seohyun hurried to catch up, but couldn't catch up with Yoona.

Lin Yoona was walking at first, but she ran away after a while.

Xu Xian, who was the last one to walk in front of Li Mingyang, glanced at Lin Yuna and rolled her eyes in her heart.

Then she was shocked, and so were Yoona and Kim Ji-won.

The three girls were so frightened that their mouths opened wide, big enough to fit eggs in.

Kim Go-eun can actually speak Chinese, and she speaks it fluently.

"You speak Chinese well." Li Mingyang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"I grew up in Yanbei when I was a child, and didn't return to Korea until junior high school," said Jin Gaoyin.

"No wonder..."

"Director Li, I really like your movies and your songs. It's an honor to work with you."

Li Mingyang smiled and didn't reply, glancing at the three confused women.

Just for knowing Chinese, Kim Go-eun scored high in Li Mingyang's heart.

"Oppa, you won't choose her just because she can speak Chinese, right?" Lin Yoona pouted and said aggrievedly.

Li Mingyang scratched his head and only understood the first part of what Oppa said, but he didn't understand anything after that.

Lin Yoona lowered her head in worry, it was all over.

Xu Xian was also disappointed. She and Lim Yoona were two grasshoppers on the same rope... they were a team.

Kim Ji-won closed her mouth and swallowed secretly, feeling a little relieved that Kim Go-eun could speak Chinese.

At the same time, they were secretly on guard. The two spent five days together, eating together, shopping together, and acting together.

She had no idea that Kim Go-eun spoke Chinese so fluently.

The cover-up was so good! The scheme was so deep...

After saying hello to the four girls, Li Mingyang went to find Jing Tian.

"You're finally free." Jing Tian excitedly pulled Li Mingyang to a table and showed him the footage he had shot recently.

Li Mingyang watched for less than a minute and couldn't help wanting to smoke.

What the hell are you shooting...

This lens is so stable...

Even if you want to shoot right up to the face, don’t shoot too close!

I'm wearing too few clothes.

Lin Yuner's bear is not small! It's an A, not Lin Pingzhi.

Xu Xian is a bit too extravagant.

How come this fighting on the bed is like a porn movie, a very old one at that!
Not artistic at all.

Jing Tian is a talented person, and Yoona and Seohyun are even more talented... It feels like it will take a long time to train them.

After fast-forwarding through the footage of Yoona and Seohyun, Lee Mingyang began watching the footage of Kim Go-eun and Kim Ji-won.

The two girls are very young now. Kim Ji-won has already debuted, but Kim Go-eun has not yet debuted.

But Kim Go-eun's talent is overwhelming. Her crying scene is very skillful, with tears in her eyes but not falling.

At a glance, it seems as if some emotions are brewing, and the eye acting is very layered.

Kim Ji-won is a little restrained, and the close-up shots of her face look a little stiff, which is a pity.

But the good thing is that it is beautiful.

Appearance is justice!
The combination of these two girls is better than that of Yoona and Seohyun.

Because the two golds are not of the same type.

Yoona and Seohyun are both sweet girls and have similar types.

"Dear Director Li, how did my photo go?" Jing Tian said with a humble smile.

Li Mingyang turned his head and glanced at Jing Tian, ​​who was sitting upright, with his chest straight and his eyes wide open, looking like Jing Tian was accepting his education.

The feeling of being a cat-like girlfriend came up immediately, which was very good.

But the filming is really bad, I have no idea what it is filming.

"Who did you learn this shooting technique from?" Li Mingyang asked.

"I read this in a book. How is it? It's pretty good, right? It combines the real and the imaginary, and it's vague and has a kind of hazy beauty that is unforgettable..."

"Stop, stop talking about this. The first thing about filmmaking is the sense of sophistication, not some hazy beauty. And you used too much fill light, and the shadows are gone."

“That’s not how you shoot it.”

"Your Name and Weathering With You were shot that way because they are magical disaster movies and don't need to consider the contrast between light and dark. But Goodbye is a realistic youth movie, so we have to use the flower bouquet shooting method, use color aesthetics to render the characters' inner thoughts, and use the contrast between light and dark to show the three-dimensional sense of the movie."

Jing Tian tilted her head in confusion and said, "It feels so difficult... How do I do it?"

“Copy it!”

"..."

……

All film masters started out by copying, and then formed their own style by copying.

Copying a movie does not mean simply copying other people's movie scenes.

You also have to copy the structure, core, rhythm, plot, and storyboard.

Stephen Chow is such a genius, but when he filmed Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, the final battle scene was a plagiarism of Wrath of Ashura.

It’s exactly the same, even the storyboards are copied, it’s copied so thoroughly!
After Li Mingyang looked at the footage shot by Jing Tian, ​​he felt there was no need to force him to continue shooting.

The Qinglong team returned to the hotel.

Li Mingyang took Jing Tian, ​​Lin Yuner, Gao Jinyin and others to Huahua Technology.

Jing Tian went to the small cinema to watch "A Bouquet of Love", while Li Mingyang was next door, holding a script meeting with the main actors of the crew.

It was called a meeting, but in fact, only Li Mingyang was speaking.

In terms of the film's artistry, degree of completion, and difficulty of shooting, Kim Go-eun and Kim Ji-won, the double gold, are the best answer.

But from a commercial perspective, Im Yoona and Seohyun are the best answers. Girls' Generation is so popular in China, so popular...

Domestic audiences are much more tolerant than Korean audiences and do not boycott girl group idol movies.

While filming the movie, take photos of Yoona and Seohyun interacting with each other, and post them on Weibo. The publicity effect will be great and the traffic will definitely explode.

It can save tens of millions of advertising costs.

"Xiao Gao, do you have an agency?" Li Mingyang asked.

Jin Gaoyin took a moment to react and realized that Director Li was talking about her. She nodded and said, "Yes, BH."

BH was Lee Byung-hun's company, which was later acquired by Kakao.

Han Ga-in and Choo Ja-hyun also work in this company.

"Your boss must be Lee Byung-hun, right? I've been in Korea for a while but haven't met him yet," said Li Mingyang.

"President Li admires Director Li very much and has always wanted to meet you. You can meet him anytime you want," said Kim Go-eun.

Li Mingyang waved his hand and said with a smile: "There will be a chance in the future... I think you are very good and talented. I want to sign you. Are you interested?"

Jin Gaoyin was stunned and said awkwardly: "I have a company..."

"I'll pay for the termination fee."

Li Mingyang spoke very confidently, but Jin Gaoyin remained silent, lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, feeling very uncomfortable.

This result surprised Li Mingyang.

It is understandable that Function Group is unwilling to associate with him, after all, SM is the number one idol agency in Korea.

Jin Gaoyin's silent refusal made Li Mingyang very puzzled.

As a great director in Asia, he is extremely attractive to actors.

A large number of people in the country were eager to become his disciples.

A Korean newcomer who hasn't made his debut yet is unwilling to join him.

"I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously, haha." Li Mingyang said and laughed.

Fortunately, the other four didn’t understand what he said, otherwise he would have lost face.

"Director Li... I really want to join Huabou Technology and become a member of Huabou Technology. I also believe that you will focus on cultivating me. Any resources you provide will be of great benefit to me."

Jin Gaoyin gathered her courage and continued to speak, "But the company brought me into the industry, found resources for me, and let me join Director Li's crew. I can't just leave... This is a traitorous act..."

traitor……

This word made Li Mingyang silent.

Are Korean stars so loyal?

No way……

Li Mingyang glanced at Lin Yuna...she really has taken root in SM.

Jessica and Seohyun left SM and went to small companies one after another.

Korean artists either stay in one company until they grow old, such as Yoona and Song Qian.

Or you can go out on your own and work together with your old employer.

For example, Rain.

Either join a new company or start your own.

There is no such thing as loyalty...

If we have to talk about loyalty, it makes sense, such as loyalty to the chaebol.

In Li Mingyang's impression, there are not many Korean stars who gave up Korea and went to Dongda to develop their careers. It seems that the only one is Clara Lee Sung-min who was boycotted by the people.

It’s so foggy!
Li Mingyang feels that there are some strange unspoken rules in Korean entertainment that are restraining these stars.

Even if they don’t make much money, they are still coerced by various unspoken rules and treated as toys by the chaebols. Every year, there are people who commit suicide due to depression...

Most Korean artists are still reluctant to leave Korean entertainment.

The curiosity in my heart is burning.

Li Mingyang looked at Gao Jinyin, who could communicate with him without any obstacles, and wanted to find the string that bound her from her.

We talked for over an hour...

Li Mingyang came to a very incredible conclusion.

In Kim Go-eun's heart...

Chinese entertainment is more terrible than Korean entertainment? ? !
This is slander!
You guys are the worst!

……

One place, one way to play.

There is a big difference in the gameplay between domestic entertainment and Korean entertainment.

Although the Korean entertainment industry is small, its unique entertainment environment can be said to be the most alternative in the world.

Domestic entertainment is actually very close to Hollywood, very similar.

Li Mingyang announced that Yoona and Seohyun would be the female protagonists. The two girls were very happy and jumped up and high-fived.

It's a pity, but just a pity.

She didn't cry as heart-wrenchingly as Zhou Xun did back then...

At that moment, countless images flashed through Li Mingyang's mind.

Chaebols, TV stations, brokerage companies, prosecutors, actors, girl groups, nightclubs, Black Snake Club, copyright, censorship committee...

The answer lies within.

But I can't figure it out.

Everything seemed to be going too smoothly...

……

Two female protagonists have been decided.

Li Mingyang came to the next room, where Jing Tian was sitting on the sofa, with her fists resting on her chin, watching the Bouquet of Love on TV with bright eyes.

There was a notebook and a pen on her thighs. Li Mingyang thought she was just pretending and had no idea.

I didn't expect that she actually memorized a lot of things and broke down the colors of the bouquet's color aesthetics.

Li Mingyang couldn't help but look at Jing Tian again.

I didn't expect Jing Tian actually wanted to be a director. He persisted and worked hard, and his personality improved...

Li Mingyang gave up the idea of ​​taking over the crew and asked Jing Tian to get used to the role of director.

"Tiantian, when are you going to leave?"

“The crew hasn’t started work yet…” Jing Tian’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t want to leave.

"I'm a bit busy recently, you continue to be in charge of the crew."

When Jing Tian heard this, she nodded heavily and said, "Hubby, you take care of your own things and leave the crew to me."

"You are quite talented. Keep up the good work and watch more similar movies. Don't look for domestic ones, look for foreign ones. You can also watch animations. Some of the storyboards in Japanese animations are amazing."

Jing Tian nodded and wrote it down, "Anything else?"

"Since you are going to copy, don't worry about anything. Find some movie clips that you like and shoot them accordingly. Copy everything and don't leave anything out, because what you leave out may be the most important. You can't tell what is primary and what is secondary yet."

"That would be easy to be discovered. How embarrassing!"

"I am the director, not you. I am the one who is embarrassed!"

"Husband, you are so good to me. I used to doubt you, but I will never doubt you again." Jing Tian fell softly on Li Mingyang's chest, wiping her tears happily.

Li Mingyang touched his nose. He was not criticized for this. How could he be so cute and gentle?

When being beaten, they are all very tough and not so gentle!

The considerate cat-like Jingtian is the good Jingtian.

Li Mingyang was happy, but also a little worried about how long Jing Tian, ​​the cat, could last...

"Oh, by the way, honey, have you decided on the female lead?"

"It's settled, Lin Yuna and Xu Xian."

"what!"

Jing Tian straightened up in an instant, frowning, "Hubby, they are so stupid. I have to say it many times before they understand what I mean. They have poor comprehension and poor acting skills."

"Kim Go-eun and Kim Ji-won are very good, especially Kim Go-eun's acting is very good. Kim So-won is a little bit worse, but she can understand what I mean."

"I think we should use Kim Go-eun and Kim Ji-won."

When Jing Tian said these words, her voice changed and sounded a little aggressive.

Just now I was worried that the cat type would not last long, but as soon as I didn't like it, it turned into a tiger type...

……

In the next few days, Jing Tian continued to be in charge of the crew on her behalf.

I am busy on the crew during the day and go home to recharge at night.

During the retreat, I look for movies, watch movies, take notes, and read books.

He also found acting teachers for Yoona and Seohyun, forcing the two girls to learn acting, and required them to write a diary every day and write down all their thoughts.

This is a good idea. By translating it, we can understand the feelings, confusions, and needs of the two women during the filming...

Li Mingyang himself didn't expect this.

Jing Tian was busy with the crew's affairs.

Li Mingyang personally takes charge of the operation of FBTV.

Scarlet Heart officially landed in Korea and became a huge hit once it was aired.

Although FBTV's sales of "Startling by Each Step" have dropped a lot due to the diversion of TVN, the popularity of "Startling by Each Step" has brought FBTV more popularity.

Many old users returned, and the total number of stagnant users increased significantly, boosting overall activity.

It also boosted the sales of other dramas, among which "Empresses in the Palace" was particularly prominent.

On April 4, FBTV’s total daily subscriptions exceeded 6 million, and daily sales exceeded 100 million!
After that, sales continued to decline.

On April 4, the number of registered users of FBTV exceeded 7, and the growth rate of new users was once again slow.

Both "Startling by Each Step" and "Empresses in the Palace" are big hit dramas in China.

The two dramas released together could only reach 55, but Li Mingyang finally accepted it even though he refused to believe it.

At present, the streaming ceiling of South Korea’s Dongda costume drama market is around 55!
There is no point in forcing the rush, it is better to wait for the audience to change their habits.

After discovering this fact, Li Mingyang didn't wait any longer.

On April 4th, at 8 noon, the appointment for "Zhao Wenzhuo VS Zhen Zhidan's Century Battle" will be directly online.

A pop-up window appears on the homepage, plus a large dynamic customized poster, a bald Fahai and a Wing Chun Ip Man!
