"In any case, no matter which company goes to make a movie, it has to negotiate cooperation with these giants who own the theater chain before it is released.

South Korea's three major theater chains, CJEM's theater chain and distribution channels, are what Imperial Entertainment values in this cooperation, and it is called a 'Girls' Generation 7th Anniversary Theme Movie', but it is not in the form of a concert documentary.

Girls' Generation is not a starring role, which can definitely attract a lot of audiences to the cinema to watch, and to be honest, I am curious about what it will be like after "My Girlhood" is filmed.

So I believe that they will not be uninterested in this kind of business that can make money, and your status in CJEM is not low, you have agreed, they will definitely consider this cooperation carefully, and what they have to do now is to prepare the crew as soon as possible, and in terms of venue, Imperial Entertainment will arrange it. ”

The filming location of "My Girlhood" was placed in Koreatown, New York, USA.

There are several schools attended by the descendants of Korean expatriates, and Lee Hyun-chul has had a good relationship with the heads of those schools.

When it was decided to set up a project for this film, Lee Hyun-cheol made a transatlantic phone call on the night of writing the script, asking a friend in the United States to help him visit several schools first, and finally chose an old school with roughly the same description as the script.

"However, at present, the sense of the times that Chairman Lee asked for should be something that you must consider after you take over this movie. ”

This kind of question, not only Kim Tae-ho has always remembered, although "Old Boy" and "My Girlhood", one is about the youth of his parents in the seventies and eighties, and the other is about the new era, which is only seven or eight years away from now, but it seems that the time is not short, but neither of them dares to ignore it.

Because Lee Hyun-cheol wants to restore some things from seven or eight years ago as much as possible, and make the whole movie full of a strong sense of the times.

I also asked the scouts from Imperial Entertainment to visit traditional markets all over Seoul and purchase a large number of props in some shops that sold popular costumes and CDs in the past.

Coupled with this kind of efficiency and perfection of preparation, Rao is Luo Yingshi was fully prepared, and when he heard it from Kim Tae-ho's mouth, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Such batches of props are definitely not a small expense, and some of the photos that Lee Hyun-cheol sent to Kim Tae-ho's mobile phone, many of which have been discontinued, are unavailable, the most representative, the tape of the first album of Girls' Generation's regular first album.

In addition to holding it, in order to make it easier for the two to understand what their concept of 'sense of the times' means, Lee Hyun-chul sent a set of data to Kim Tae-ho's mobile phone.

"My Girlhood is set in the era in which I was a girl, from my debut in 2007 to the final timeline in the movie that is synchronized with reality.

First, the regular series of Girls' Generation is s. The last full-fledged cassette album sold by M.

Second, on the same day of debut, the first issue of "Two Days and One Night" was broadcast.

Third, in the third year of her debut, Kim Yuna's legend, the dance of death.

Fourth, when she starred in 10,000 yuan of happiness with Bigbang, at that time, Girls' Generation had debuted for four years, and Lim Yuna was still using a flip phone.

Smartphones didn't gain popularity that year, and in the same year, the outdoor reality show "Runningman" began to relax.

Fifth, in the fifth year of his debut, he participated in the Pyeongchang Olympic Bid Celebration Stage as a representative of the general trending group.

Sixth, the highest image quality of the debut MV is 480p.

And at that time, he starred in the period of "HappyTogether" sauna recitation songs, starred in the first season of "Birth of a Family", starred in the follow-up program of "Heroes and Heroes", starred in "Notes on Loved Ones", the predecessor of the MAMA Awards, and all seasons of MKMF.

In addition to these, from their debut to 2014, Girls' Generation has experienced a total of three top leadership transitions (Kim, Lee, Park), five Olympic Games (summer and winter) and two World Cups.

(PS: If it's 2019, it's four power transfers, six Olympics and three World Cups)

At first, it seemed that he didn't feel the sense of the times that had passed so long, but after seeing this set of data, Luo Yingshi's goosebumps came out.

If these major events can be put in the movie, it will be difficult for the film to succeed.

"You don't have to worry about the group performance, the people in the company will cooperate with you in an all-round way and give you the greatest convenience, if the students in the United States are not easy to use, they only need a phone call, and they will immediately select trainees with shooting experience, they are already at the age of going to school, so..."

"I know that I can't fault the slightest dissatisfaction with being able to do this. ”

Luo Yingshi nodded, he never doubted the efficiency of Imperial Entertainment.

Normally, most Koreans have a very procrastinating style, and they will slowly extend it to a month when you can do something in a week.

In particular, the preparation crew and program team of the TV station, all the equipment and personnel are no longer the same as in the past, and all the TV stations are responsible for cooperating with film and television entertainment companies, but are uniformly outsourced to those outsourcing companies outside.

From contact, negotiation, confirmation of signature to payment, plus script seminars, auditions, etc., which are necessary for movies and TV dramas, it takes two to three months to officially start filming.

This kind of efficiency, in the eyes of Lee Hyun-chul, who has deeply experienced the Hollywood model, is extremely slow and difficult to wait patiently.

"In that case, then call Hu Dongxi over, what Chairman Li asked, I don't think they should refuse. ”

Because of the support of Imperial Entertainment and the budget that does not drag on billions of won investment, when it was officially confirmed that there was extra money, the dozens of staff in this box were all excited.

This is not the first time that the "Infinite Challenge" program team has cooperated with Imperial Entertainment, so I am still full of gratitude to Lee Hyun-cheol for this switch from TV series to movies, and Luo Yingshi's team is also full of expectations because of the first time.

It's just that for now, Kim Tae-ho didn't mention where the specific filming location of "Old Boy" is, and anyone who knows his style can guess that he must have been busy building filming locations recently.

It depends on how to get the two of them to nod their heads in agreement. ”

If you change to an ordinary film director, the most difficult part will not be the basic work, but how to negotiate with the screenwriter about the lineup to play.

But when they got to Kim Tae-ho and Luo Ying-seok, the two were thinking about how to fool Yoo Jae-seok and Jiang Hudong, and Luo Ying-seok seemed to be very interested in this kind of bad behavior, and volunteered to join.

In terms of time together, Luo Yingshi and Jiang Hudong have been from "Two Days and One Night" to the present, and they have explored each other's temper very thoroughly.

Especially the movie "Old Boy", although a film of the same name was born before this, and that version with the combination of well-known big-name actors, gave Kim Tae-ho a lot of pressure. I want to talk about "My Girlfriend is an Idol" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
