Chapter 189 Winter Sonata
While Zheng Jing was recording the program in Yanjing, in Seoul, Goryeo, Lin Shiling, dressed in a fashionable and beautiful lady, walked into a high-end cafe accompanied by her assistant.

As soon as I went up to the second floor, I saw Yoon Seok-ho standing outside the aisle of booth No. 1.

"Hello, President Lin!"

After seeing Lin Shiling, Yin Xihu quickly stepped forward and greeted her respectfully.

He is just a director, and he dare not neglect a chaebol daughter like Lin Shiling.

Moreover, Lim Se-ryung is beautiful and has a strong aura. She is accompanied by assistants and bodyguards, so Yoon Seok-ho is a little scared.

"Hello, Director Yin. You're welcome. Please take a seat."

Lin Shiling sat down at the booth, asked Yin Xihu's opinion, and then ordered two cups of coffee.

"Director Yin, you took the initiative to ask me out this time. It should be good news, right?"

Hearing Lin Shiling say this, Yin Xihu felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "The station's plan has changed. The president rejected my Winter Sonata project and wanted me to shoot "Summer Scent".

I made the wrong choice before, please forgive me for my stupidity, President Lin."

When Zheng Jing had done ten consecutive draws before, in addition to Xiang Yu’s character card and pet card, he also obtained a white character card - Jiang Junsang.

Kang Jun Sang is the male lead in the idol drama Winter Sonata.

After seeing the role card, Zheng Jing called Lin Shiling and asked her to pay attention to this drama.

Lin Shiling took Zheng Jing's request very seriously.

On the one hand, after being subdued by Zheng Jingbian, she was emotionally very in love with him, and on the other hand, it was also driven by interests.

After the hit of Full House, the entertainment company WIE also gained fame.

As the president of WIE, Lin Shiling has received a lot of praise.

What's more, the Elephant Group, Lin Shiling's mother's company, also made a lot of money because of the advertisement in Full House, which increased the sales of its snack products.

Driven by both emotion and interests, Lin Shiling cares very much about Zheng Jing's needs.

After hanging up Zheng Jing's call, Lin Shiling immediately contacted Yin Xihu.

It’s just that Yoon Seok-ho has been at KBS TV station for more than ten years, and his famous work "Autumn in My Heart" was also filmed at KBS TV station.

Now that Winter Sonata is being planned, his first choice is to produce it on KBS.

After being rejected by Yoon Seok-ho, Lin Shiling wanted to use her connections, but Zheng Jing told her not to worry, there would be a turning point, and she just had to wait for good news.

This is Zheng Jing's trust in the character card.

Although Lin Shiling accepted Zheng Jing's arrangement, she was still skeptical.

I didn't expect that Yoon Seok-ho would actually contact me on his own initiative.

In Lin Shiling's heart, she no longer just admired Zheng Jing, she even felt a little bit of awe.

She didn't understand Zheng Jing's logic. Could he really predict the future?
So after hearing Yoon Seok-ho's explanation, Lin Shiling did not pursue the past, but smiled and said, "Director Yoon, I understand your position.

I want to know why your president doesn't want to shoot Winter Sonata?"

Yin Xihu smiled bitterly and said, "It's because your company is so powerful.

The Full House you filmed not only had high ratings, but also brought about a tourism boom in the city, with potential economic benefits exceeding one trillion.

Our president was very moved after watching it. He said that Winter Sonata is a winter story and the audience may not like it.

We should learn from Full House and shoot stories about summer and the sea, especially island cities.

So let me do Summer Scent.”

Lin Shiling then asked, "Then why didn't you shoot Summer Scent? To be honest, the script of Winter Sonata is not that good."

If it weren't for Zheng Jing's request, Lin Shiling would not have looked down on the project of Winter Sonata because the script was really average.

Yoon Seok-ho said, “I want to shoot Winter Sonata right now, and during this period, my mind is full of winter images.

The cold glacier, the winter fields, the rustling fallen leaves, the deserted woods, everything is cold and icy.

In this environment, the two lovers snuggled up to each other and kept each other warm.

Only love can bring warmth to people in the bleak winter.

It is the warmth in the cold, it is the temperature of love, it is long-lasting and pure love.

I have a feeling that Winter Sonata must be filmed soon, and it may be the best work of my life."

Yoon Seok-ho's representative works are Love Song of the Four Seasons, namely Autumn in My Heart (Autumn Fairy Tale), Winter Sonata, Summer Scent, and Spring Waltz.

Among these four series, "Autumn in My Heart" is the most famous in China because it was introduced by Mango TV.

But in terms of quality and overall influence, Winter Sonata is the pinnacle and a milestone in Korean dramas.

The plot of this drama is not outstanding, but the pictures and artistic conception are very beautiful. It combines the beauty of winter and the north with lingering love, producing a wonderful chemical reaction.

Many people regard this drama as the pinnacle of Goryeo romance dramas.

Especially in Japan, Winter Sonata was a huge hit, setting a series of ratings records that no Korean drama will be able to break in the future.

Thanks to this drama, Bae Yong-joon became an Asian superstar and made a lot of money in Japan.

A large number of Japanese people traveled to Goryeo because of this drama.

Yoon Seok-ho's hunch was correct: creators have limited inspiration.

After filming Winter Sonata, Yoon Seok-ho's talent and inspiration dried up, and the performance of subsequent TV series was mediocre. After hearing Yoon Seok-ho's explanation, Lin Shiling felt that Jung Kyung's wisdom was unfathomable.

I actually predicted KBS TV's reaction in advance.

Thinking of this, Lin Shiling couldn't wait to go to China to record the program and have an in-depth exchange with Zheng Jing.

She said directly: "The conditions I gave you before remain unchanged. The Winter Sonata project will be produced by WIE, and you will be the director. The remuneration will be three times that of KBS TV station."

Yoon Seok-ho looked delighted. He thought that since he had rejected Lin Se-ling last time, he would be "exploited" this time.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shiling still gave generous treatment.

"President Lin, when do we start filming?"

"December."

"Well, the time is just right. I will prepare the storyboard and find a suitable filming location."

"That's right." Lin Shiling said, "You can go to the north of China first to explore the filming location."

Yin Xihu paused and asked, "Why China? Can't we shoot in Goryeo?"

Lin Shiling explained: "The scenery in China is more beautiful. I will invite Zheng Jing to play the male lead. With him in the role, your drama will be half successful."

When Yoon Seok-ho heard that Jung Kyung-neng could play the male lead, he was excited.

But Lin Shiling said: "You can go to Chang'an City in the northwest of China to investigate first.

It is a famous historical city with a rich cultural heritage, and the scenery in winter is also very beautiful.”

Lin Shiling didn't know much about Chang'an. She only knew that Zheng Jing was from Chang'an. If she could film in Chang'an, Zheng Jing would probably be very happy.

In fact, Lin Shiling really hit the jackpot by accident.

On June 6, after Zheng Jing finished recording the program in Yanjing, he and Du Wei flew back to Chang'an.

This time when I return to Chang'an, in addition to going to the Xi'an Film Studio to record the Chang'an preliminary round of "This is the Actor", I also have to talk to the Xi'an Film Studio about the acquisition of the Xi'an Film Distribution Company.

Zheng Jing received internal information that Xiying Group was interested in selling its distribution company and Huayi was already in contact.

This is a project that Zheng Jing is determined to win, so it is naturally impossible for him to let Huayi get involved.

After arriving at the Xi'an Film Studio, Zheng Jing and Du Wei were given a grand reception.

In addition to the leaders of Xi'an Film Studio, there are also leaders of Chang'an City.

Everyone drank at Xiying's hospitality restaurant.

"Mr. Zheng, it is said that the champion of the amateur group of "This is the Actor" will film an idol drama with you?"

After three rounds of drinks, the city leader asked the questions he was concerned about.

Zheng Jing nodded and said, "If the champion is an actress, she will film an idol drama with me."

"Does this play have a name? What's the theme?"

Zheng Jing thought of Lin Shiling's phone call two days ago, and said, "The name of the drama is Winter Sonata, which tells a love story that takes place in winter."

Hearing this, the leader immediately toasted Zheng Jing and said with a smile: "This is a good title! Winter Sonata, a winter love story!
What we have the most in Chang'an is the beautiful scenery of winter.

The window contains the Xiling Qianqiu Snow, and the door is anchored by the Dongwu Wanli Ship.

After you finish photographing the beautiful scenery of Dongwu, it would be great if you could take photos of the white snow on Xiling Mountain! "

Strictly speaking, what the leader said is problematic.

Dongwu has nothing to do with Ludao. Xiling refers to the Xiling Snow Mountain in the capital of Sichuan Province.

But in terms of direction and literal meaning, it can also be explained this way.

What's more, the snow scene in Chang'an and Qinling Mountains is really beautiful.

Even in the urban area, the ancient city walls are covered in silver after the snow, which is very beautiful.

Every shot you take is a beautiful view.

Zheng Jing also understood what his leader meant.

Full House has made tourism in Ludao popular, and many cities are eyeing the filming location of Zheng Jing's second idol drama.

Because of this incident, Zheng Jing and Du Wei were often "harassed".

Zheng Jing said: "I am from Chang'an, so of course I want to show the most beautiful side of Chang'an to audiences across the country and even overseas.

Chang'an was the first choice for the filming location of Winter Sonata."

As a mature member of society, Zheng Jing did not say anything final.

There is no problem in filming Winter Sonata in Chang'an, but the necessary preferential conditions must be provided.

The leader also understood. Not only did he provide good filming conditions, he also directly talked about the distribution and sale of Xiying and even the internal reorganization and reform of Xiying Group at the dinner table.

Du Wei also introduced the future development direction of Western film and television.

The conversation went smoothly.

After the meal, the filming of Winter Sonata in Chang'an and the acquisition of Western Film Distribution by Western Film were basically decided.
