Peninsula: You've been chosen here for producing girl groups.

Chapter 140 Variables

In the lens.

With his hands in his pockets and an air of detachment, Han Shuo slowly walked towards his seat.

Having gone through dozens of cycles, he knew everything, was familiar with the personality of everyone in the classroom, and understood all their joys and sorrows during their three years of high school.

This unchanging life instilled in him a sense of superiority and arrogance, making him look down on all his classmates.

It's as if he were the player, and all these people were NPCs.

At this time.

Jeon Boram, who was chatting with Park Soyeon while leaning on the table, subconsciously glanced at Han Seok, looking quite out of place among the background figures who were all focused on themselves.

"Click!"

The director called "cut".

This scene depicts a group portrait of the first year of high school, during the opening ceremony of Guan's class.

The various characters are introduced from Han Shuo's perspective.

Jeon Boram was chatting with Park Soyeon, an old classmate who had gone to the same middle school. Both of them were fans of K-pop and devoted their hearts to their idols.

Even if Han Shuo were a great teacher, he wouldn't be worthy of their attention.

There's no way she would be distracted by secretly observing Han Shuo.

If it were any other drama, and a minor supporting actor was this unprofessional, he would have already started yelling and replaced them.

Can I take pictures?

If you can't film, find someone else.

The short drama "Let Me Disappear from the Earth" is different. Han Shuo paid him to film this drama in order to promote his own trainees.

He has no right to replace him.

On the contrary, he is the outsider and may be replaced.

He cherishes the rare opportunity to independently direct a series, even if it's just a short online drama, and always keeps his identity and stance in mind.

He tried to keep his tone gentle and even managed a smile.

"Baolan, I know our Director Han is very handsome and shines like a star, but please focus on your own role, okay?"

Instead of saying that Jeon Boram was distracted and unprofessional, she actually gave Han Seok a little praise.

The perfectly timed joke eased the tense atmosphere.

Like a primary school student who has made a mistake, Jeon Boram is undergoing an internal trial.

Why did I have to be so stupid as to want to watch Han Shuo?

She ruined the shot and all the hard work of everyone present because of her one small mistake, and now we have to start all over again. She is truly a sinner.

Fortunately, the director let it go easily.

She breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and quickly bent down to apologize to everyone: "I'm sorry, I will definitely be more careful next time."

She was caught on camera peeking at Han Shuo and was even pointed out to her by the director in front of everyone.

It was incredibly awkward.

Fortunately, Han Shuo didn't mind either, and even gave her a "good luck" gesture.

back row.

Han Shuo remained silent throughout.

During filming, all arrangements are directed by the director.

He would never deliberately stand out or undermine the director's authority on set.

He believed the director would handle the situation correctly and wouldn't be unable to lift up the two kings.

His idea proved to be correct.

Only after the director had settled everything did he suggest taking a break: "Senior Han Ye-seul sent a support coffee truck; anyone who's hungry can go grab a sandwich."

During this period of filming, almost all the idols and actors I met promised to send him a coffee truck as a show of support.

The filming time for the two short dramas and one short film is limited. Even one film per day is not enough, and on some days, they have to work twice a day.

Just like today, there was a support truck for Han Ye-seul in the morning, and a support truck for Son Ye-jin in the afternoon.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Han Ye-seul, along with the staff of the coffee truck, distributed coffee and sandwiches to everyone present.

A bright, sunny smile was still on his face.

Those who haven't witnessed her true personality would definitely mistakenly believe that this woman is the gentle type.

however.

Han Ye-seul is a real firecracker.

When she saw him coming, she immediately stopped pretending.

Under the guise of exchanging pleasantries, she openly and legitimately dragged him into an empty classroom.

Before he could even speak, her soft, red lips came at him.

They wouldn't let me leave after we kissed them.

She asked him to hug her and sit together so they could whisper in each other's ears.

"You, just make a movie, why are you so arrogant, saying it will become a classic and be paid tribute to? Be careful, or someone will find a weakness to attack you."

Han Yiseul was facing Han Shuo, sitting on Han Shuo's lap.

She hugged her lover tightly, resting her head on his shoulder: "You'll be crying then."

She said Han Shuo had a big mouth, but her tone was clearly full of doting affection.

"I have confidence in our show."

Han Shuo patted Han Yise's cute little bottom: "Or do you not believe me?"

"If I don't side with you, whose side should I side with?"

Han Yise rolled her eyes at Han Shuo.

She herself has this flamboyant personality and has always been clear about her likes and dislikes.

Han Shuo's energetic personality only made her more and more obsessed, and she liked him very much.

She slipped her hands inside her clothes, palms down, and gently stroked her lover's abs, unable to tear herself away: "As a reward for you, Nuna is for you, okay?"

"If you want to give it, just say so. Why beat around the bush and go on and on about all that nonsense?"

Han Shuo hugged Han Yise's waist tightly, pulled her back, and tilted his head to kiss her.

Little Chili may be arrogant, but whenever she's with him, she becomes as docile and affectionate as a little girl. Who could resist a woman who only has eyes for him?

"Remember to save one of your music videos for me."

For the next two months, Han Shuo was either filming or flying to China to work on his Chinese album.

Han Yiseul couldn't bear not seeing Han Shuo for a long time, so she took the initiative to ask Han Shuo to arrange some trips to China for her: "I want to go to China with you."

Han Shuo was surprised that Han Yise could be so clingy: "What are you going to do?"

Han Ye-seul smiled slyly: "My 'Fantasy Couple' has already been released on Bilibili, right? Could you arrange a few fan meetings for me, please?"

"I give up."

These fan meet-and-greets don't recoup their costs; they're purely losing money to gain publicity.

Its main function is to drive traffic to Bilibili and also to handle ticketing functions for Bilibili.

In Han Shuo's original plan, only the hugely popular drama "Iljimae" was worth holding several fan meetings mainly for drama fans.

Holding fan meet-and-greets for some older dramas is not very valuable.

However, the drama "Dream Couple" will not air on Hunan TV until the summer, so for domestic audiences, it is still considered a relatively new drama.

Holding a fan meeting in the country is not out of the question.

He maintained a businesslike demeanor: "I'll have someone assess it."

"Take me to China, and I'll play however you want," Han Yise said, feigning coquettishness as she snuggled deeper into Han Shuo's arms. "I'll play with my hands—"

With his fate in Han Shuo's hands, he could only raise his hands in surrender: "I've got it."

"Huh? What are you doing now?"

Han Ye-seul stood up.

She wore a pair of slim-fit jeans today, which accentuated her petite figure, and it seemed that she wore a strappy inner layer underneath.

He untied both hands.

An inner garment appeared in her fist.

"I'll prepay your reward."

Han Shuo's noodles trembled slightly.

A piece of innerwear was forcibly stuffed into my hand.

What the hell? Do you think he's some kind of pervert?

However, Han Ye-seul seemed determined to prepay his so-called reward. After delivering the freshly made innerwear, she ran away.

Impressed.

On set, she deliberately swayed her hips in a flamboyant manner.

Others, unaware of the true situation, might simply assume she was exercising, but only he knew that this woman was openly flirting.

This woman has a slightly sexy, American free spirit about her.

The more afraid you are of her, the more she gets excited.

Han Shuo seized a few openings and gave her a hard whack, finally calming her down.

Today's shooting mainly involves completing some group shots.

That way, when we're filming in the next few days, we won't need to have everyone come and wait for us.

This ensemble scene from the first day of high school mainly depicts how everyone forms various small groups at the beginning of the semester for different reasons.

And in the days that followed, they all fell apart one by one.

After taking three or four takes, this part was finally done.

The premise of this show is an infinite loop.

The advantage is that the same scene can be filmed in N versions, which can be regarded as different performances under different number of loops.

The downside is that actors need to adjust their mindset quickly according to the script's requirements and demonstrate the new reactions that should be given in each new cycle.

This places high demands on the actors.

What's somewhat surprising is that Shin Yoon-joo's performance as the female lead is quite outstanding.

As the male and female leads of this drama, they have the most screen time.

For example, the two of them need to repeatedly shoot a large number of the same storyboards in the corridor and classroom, but with completely different content.

Shin Yoon-joo brilliantly portrayed the female lead's joys and sorrows.

Quite stunning.

The little girl is so arrogant.

She proudly put her hands on her hips, begging for praise, and then bragged about it to her girlfriends after receiving it.

Her three best friends are played by Naza, Kim Ji-won, and Kim Ah-young.

Before the shoot, Han Shuo specifically told Nazha, "Your Korean isn't good enough yet, so remember to listen more and speak less."

Naza was well aware of her Korean proficiency, holding up a bag of potato chips: "I'll just eat, eat, eat. If you ask me to speak, I won't."

Nazar's character is an original character.

To make her character more likable, Han Shuo asked the screenwriter to design her as a foodie.

Given Xiao Quecha's lazy and gluttonous nature, he should be able to play the role naturally.

Most of the trainees under their management were acting for the first time, and there were quite a few bumps and stumbles during filming.

But that's precisely the advantage of filming your own movies.

They can tolerate minor mistakes made by some people during filming and give them enough time to adjust.

The production budget was fully paid, and the remuneration was paid in installments according to the schedule. The director and the production team were very accommodating, always smiling and never making things difficult for anyone.

In the afternoon, Son Ye-jin came over in the car.

She wore a gray-silver uniform today, looking elegant and poised. When she arrived at the film set, she was surrounded by a dense crowd of reporters, as if she were walking a red carpet.

He also accidentally let slip a little spoiler about the detailed character settings of the next two short dramas.

Actually, this was all a reaction that the two of them had planned.

Consider this a warm-up for the two short dramas.

Han Shuo went up to him: "You're stealing the spotlight from me, the lead actor, hmm~"

Son Ye-jin smiled gently: "What do you mean by 'showing off'? You make it sound like I care a lot about these trivial things. You're right, I'm already a star, there's no way to hide that."

Son Ye-jin is not like Han Ye-seul, who always lies down and refuses to take on new roles.

Son Ye-jin is a workaholic with a very tight work schedule, yet she still made time to visit the set. What reason would he have to tease her?

The two of them walked and talked.

Son Ye-jin suddenly looked at Han Seok: "Didn't your website launch a program called 'Weekly Korean Entertainment News' before?"

Right?

"There is such a program."

Han Shuo was somewhat surprised and had some guesses in his mind: "Why are you asking this?"

Son Ye-jin, with her hands behind her back, looked pure and beautiful, her smile radiant: "This program seems to be produced quite well."

"On May Day, the program aired a special episode that specifically studied and analyzed the production model of Korean dramas, and some of the points were very insightful."

This special episode not only analyzes the ecosystem of Korean dramas in simple terms, but also presciently points out some early warning industry trends.

They even put forward several targeted suggestions for rectification.

These insightful comments originated with local actors active in China and spread by word of mouth, gradually reaching the local entertainment industry.

It became a hot topic of discussion.

"Really? The industry opinion is that high? Then we'll give them a raise."

"A raise? This special episode subtly and overtly reveals the exploitation of production companies and performers by the three major television networks. Be careful, or they might come after you."

"What are you afraid of?"

Han Shuo said he didn't take it to heart.

It's a buyer's market now; the three major TV stations are counting on him to pay them.

Not to mention praising him, how could I possibly cause him trouble over such a trivial matter?

"Furthermore, our program is currently only available in China. Even if the three major television networks are arrogant, can they enforce the law in a foreign country?"

Han Shuo is not worried that this special episode will spread in South Korea. On the contrary, he is secretly looking forward to the fact that with a code of conduct, the artists' union will achieve different results this time.

"You'd better hope you have a good time."

Son Ye-jin stopped there.

"Take me to see what you filmed this morning. I want to see if you really have the acting skills that President Lee Ho-yeon claims."

Wow.

Son Ye-jin has to admit she underestimated Han Seok.

She glanced at the materials, then at Han Shuo, her gaze shifting back and forth between them.

"You actually acted pretty naturally."

She didn't want to say anything too good, lest Han Shuo become too smug.

"Just natural?"

"What else? Do you want me to say you have the talent of the Azure Dragon Film Emperor?"

Han Seok leaned close to Son Ye-jin: "Don't you know whether I have the strength of a 'Azure Dragon Shadow Brother'?"

Son Ye-jin understood the real meaning behind Han Seok's words and rolled her eyes at him: "You brat, just you wait."

"Remember to thank me later; it wasn't me who kept pushing you—"

"screw you."

Even more encouragement?

That brat really knows how to flatter himself.

That's shameless.

But Son Ye-jin wasn't annoyed at all; on the contrary, she was amused and laughed heartily.

Before parting, Han Shuo asked her to go out for a meal together next time: "Are you coming or not? Give me a definite answer!"

"It depends on your performance."

Han Shuo shrugged: "I'm inviting you to dinner, and I have to wait for your performance? Then don't go, I'll invite someone else."

"You're not being sincere at all, I understand."

In addition to the short drama, today's shooting schedule also includes filming the music video for "Waiting for You After Class".

The female lead in the music video is Zhao Youli.

It was evening.

Han Shuo and Zhao Youli brushed past each other in the alley.

Zhao Youli is the kind of sweet girl with a fresh and clean appearance. She dresses neatly and has the demeanor of an artistic young woman.

She wore a decent school uniform, revealing two sections of her fair and tender calves. She held books in her arms, her long hair flowing. With the warm lighting, the finished product was of quite good quality.

It has the feel of an art film.

The music video shoot was not difficult and was completed in less than two hours.

Finish work.

at night.

Ni Ni went to Han Shuo's room openly under the pretext of practicing pronunciation.

Today she wore a short-sleeved shirt and a pencil skirt. As she swayed forward, the skirt flared out in mid-air.

The rounded, snug fit is lifted up.

Han Shuo pulled her into his arms and asked, "How's your practice going?"

"Why don't you do a spot check?"

Ni Shi straightened up.

This gave Han Shuo a slap in the face.

Compared to his full, rounded buttocks, Ni Shi's frontal figure was significantly inferior, failing to provide him with the breathtaking softness he desired.

In this respect, she is somewhat inferior to Jiang Enhui.

He picked the other person up and carried them to the kitchen island.

Push it to both sides.

Massage Ni Lv's thighs with moderate pressure.

"Why go to all that trouble?"

Ni Ni jumped onto Qi Island, her back to Qi Hanshuo.

Han Shuo followed from behind and hugged Ni Ni's waist.

Her little belly was round and bulging.

Big, rounded hips, full and youthful.

"I've been working out and sculpting with Hyosung Jeon lately. How does it look? Don't you think my figure has become much more outstanding?"

'

"As filming progressed to the Lanle area, the cooperation between Qing and Ci became increasingly close, and they gradually got into the swing of things."

Filming is progressing faster and faster.

Not only did they complete the day's quota to a high standard, but they also caught up with the progress of Jingwei Laqi.

The third female lead is played by Kwon Nara. Her character is somewhat vain and indecisive, jumping between several small cliques in the class, and in the end, none of them like her.

She was also ostracized by the bullying group.

The female and male leads each lent a hand, helping her out of the shadow of isolation.

"sorry."

Kwon Nara apologizes to Shin Yoon-joo and rejoins her group of girlfriends.

A new week has passed in the blink of an eye.

The short film "Let Me Disappear from the Earth" was filmed over nine months and was successfully announced on May 11.

At the same time, they also completed the filming of all six music videos and all the recording work for the album "LoveTrap", and the album's release is now in countdown.

After the banquet ended yesterday, Han Shuo had a few minutes to rest.

He plans to visit Cheongju and meet with the cast and crew of the TV series "Iljimae".

Two days later, I flew directly to Beijing to plan the production of "Drifting to the North" in the Chinese digital album.

This song is about people who migrate to Beijing for work.

Logically and emotionally, he should make a special trip to the capital to refine the logic and details of Qi's creation, and also to check on Zhang Tianzhang's weight loss results.

During breaks in his filming, "Weekly Korean Entertainment News - May Day Special" began to be frequently reprinted and cited by Korean media.

To the untrained eye, the related discussions and predictions seem somewhat exaggerated.

But for those in the industry, this is not the future, it is the present.

Especially triangular debt.

This has gradually become a passive response by production companies to television stations' failure to pay actors' salaries.

Even production companies that didn't understand these methods in the past have decisively adopted this approach.

As the special feature states, once a production company launches a shell company to transfer risk, then artists and outsourced production teams will always face the crisis of being owed wages.

Some people in the industry are feeling uneasy.

"Damn it, the 'Onair' production team already owes me a month's salary. Are they not planning to pay me back?"

"Why sabotage those who work diligently? Shouldn't they be facing the challenges head-on with the television station?"

"Exactly! The proportion of responsibility and profit sharing for Qingci must be agreed upon. How can it be that the TV station decides what to do?"

"Hurry up and support cable TV stations, don't let the three major terrestrial TV stations ruin the industry."

"Relaxing the online copyright operation of Korean dramas is a brilliant move; I think Bilibili is quite good."

Korea is a nation built on its culture.

During its heyday, Korean dramas were incredibly popular in both Japan and China.

It not only has a huge following, but also generates a large number of incidental economic effects.

The current state of Korean dramas is showing signs of a morbid situation that could potentially harm the entire industry, causing considerable anxiety among Korean netizens.
