Except for Han Mingjin, there may be a feeling of surprise here. No pop-ups // It seems that after Han Mingjin has finished all the burdens of South Korea, there is rarely such a time to be so excited. And it was for business, and for such an insignificant matter. Is it that serious? Even in Tiffany's heart, which is absolutely behind him, thinks so.

If you don't go, you won't go, in a word. Why say so much? But no one understands Han Mingjin's feelings. No one can clearly understand the idea of going to Europe and the United States to work hard when they are young and eventually gain a foothold and become a superstar. Go must go, this is the beginning. Success must be successful, this is the result. However, no one has a definite pattern for how the process should be connected to the beginning and the end.

However, if you want to succeed in doing something, you must understand the essence of the accident. Knowing oneself and knowing the other is still invincible, not to mention that in the case of not knowing anything, can you achieve the desired goal? Mixed with the Korean entertainment industry, popularity development and the like, Han Mingjin has never cared. It's not that I don't really care, it's that it's not a challenge.

However, for going to Europe and the United States, Han Mingjin's shares in MGM are also well-known screenwriters and directors, but he is more cautious. In his past and present lives, he knows best how big the difference between Eastern and Western cultures is, and how difficult it is for you to stand on your feet. There are countless foreign actors and directors who have gone to Hollywood to develop, and if you don't mention Europe, let's talk about China.

How many of them really stood up? Ang Lee succeeded, John Woo is not a failure, but it is obviously a semi-withdrawal from Hollywood. And the Chinese film and television artists who have gone to Hollywood for development this year have also returned to China to film and work, is it because they are old? No. It boils down to not standing. Not accepted.

There is no place for replication of success or failure. They are both Chinese, and they are all very talented and hardworking. But the results are different, the achievements are different, how can we explain it? Not to mention the failures, Ang Lee succeeded. It is because he has integrated into Western culture. Just like Han Mingjin said, cook with your rice and sell it to you. The cooking is even yours.

Watch Ang Lee's films, especially those of recent years. You can't tell that this is a Chinese director. The techniques, the patterns and routines of storytelling, even if many of the ideas and spirits reflected are pandering to the West. Of course, there are many accidents in his success, but more of it is inevitable.

As soon as Han Mingjin's golden finger opened, the five blockbusters seemed to be extremely heroic. But even an ordinary Korean entertainment book lover can understand a truth, it's not that you can plagiarize everything. There are many invisible and intangible concepts and barriers, which cannot be shaken by some foreknowledge ability. In Hollywood. Han Mingjin only admits that he is a screenwriter, and never admits that he is a director and actor. It's not all because it's low-key, either.

The most fundamental reason is that Han Mingjin plagiarized the work, and in the end he could only plagiarize its shape. But this deep feeling of soul and God cannot deceive people. What about knowing English? Because knowing a foreign Chinese language is considered to know a foreign culture? Han Mingjin is Chinese and Oriental in his bones, and this kind of subtle self-contained thing cannot be forcibly erased and accepted by your ability and background forces.

And because of this, Han Mingjin said so much to Li Xiuman. Promote idol groups into Europe and the United States. No Oriental in the world has ever really succeeded. Including in his previous life, he has been developing in Asia when he was young, and going to France and the United States to do shows is basically equivalent to a catwalk, and it is impossible to talk about standing on his feet. More like gilding. An artist can show off his face all over the world. Koreans have always liked to do this kind of superficial article, one thing can be said to be ten. They are good at it and enjoy it.

Han Mingjin doesn't want this, he really wants to become a superstar when he is young. Like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga. Like Madonna, Britney. Like Avril and Taylor Swift. The kind of international star that can be praised by Europe and the United States, and can also be accepted by the world. But for Han Mingjin. He didn't have much to do other than Goldfinger.

Therefore, he needs everyone's joint efforts, not material support, but conceptual coordination, twisting into a rope to do it, and finally succeed. But now, whether it is Li Xiuman or Jin Jingmin when he was young, he doesn't seem to be too aware of this matter. Or I realized it, but I didn't understand that it was just the title song of an album and then recording an English version to broadcast it, and testing how it could be as serious as Han Mingjin was worried about.

It's because they still don't understand, or because of the unfamiliarity of the European and American markets, they haven't turned a corner. Indeed, if you post an English version of the title song, it is certainly good to cause a response. If you don't, you have nothing to lose. The album should be sold or sold, and how much should it be sold. If you don't make money, how can you calculate a loss?

But don't you know the hearts of fans? Don't mention Europe and the United States, only mention Asia, and even shrink a little bit in the Korean music industry. When they were young, their debut songs did fit the positioning of their group, but if you want to say how popular the songs are, I'm afraid they may not be? In fact, they were not popular at the beginning of their debut, and they even had an embarrassing status for a while. In particular, there is not much positive impact, and there are frequent bad reviews and scandals that are anti to the Black Sea.

But a song "gee" was born, and the nine consecutive championships reversed this decline. Let them become a first-line group in one fell swoop. Since then, I have gone farther and farther, and I have flown higher and higher. But after that, it is basically difficult for their works to surpass "gee". More than one person has objectively commented on this, but they have been sprayed by some fans and dare not say more. In Sone's eyes, no matter what they sing, it must sound good.

At this time, it is no longer dependent on the music itself to develop and grow, sales are based on popularity. If you go back to Europe and the United States, the same is true for many singers. Whether it's Avril Lavigne or Lady Gaga, there is more than one album, and not every one of them is excellent. At most, there are ups and downs, the first is classic, the second is poor, the third is good, and the fourth is surpassed, just an analogy.

But people are local, just like when I was a kid in Korea and in Asia. You don't need your work to be excellent, you just need to be popular. For people who are obsessed with your idol, buying an album is more of a support. But can you still do the same when you go abroad to develop? Music has no borders, and there are no cultural differences, but there are still rankings and strengths in the size of the market.

In modern times, the entertainment industry has always been Western-centric. Movies and music are counted. Genre and scale maturity are also higher than theirs. You go to other people's turf to develop. Quite a player goes to the NBA to develop. A second- or third-rate star can be a foreign aid and the main force for you. The strongest on your side may not be able to play as a substitute when you get there.

At this point, can you still play this way? You can't afford to play it. "Hollaback Girl" made Han Mingjin plagiarize it for a young time, and won a lot of word-of-mouth when he participated in the live performance of the awards in the United States. But that's because the work is good, which has attracted people's attention and interest. But you can't really talk about how popular you are. And the works you have published in Korea are not accepted. Except for a bit of freshness. When you peel it off, everything inside has been played with.

And in the end, that's it. It is also Han Mingjin's plan. Unless everything is mature, your next work in Europe and America must be better than "Hollaback Girl", so that people can recognize, accept, praise, and respect. Otherwise, it's not as simple as losing nothing, if you push the works to the European and American markets after "Hollaback Girl", they are not as good as "Hollaback Girl". The influence that was once gained because of "Hollaback Girl" will also suffer.

They will feel that you are a flash in the pan, and they will feel that what is essential to you is still not liked by them. I think you can't do much. Do you think it's easy to gain that bit of fame? The influence that "Hollaback Girl" once created for his youth was an important step in Han Mingjin's plan. Strictly speaking, it is a very high starting point to conquer the European and American markets. How could it be so easy to let Li Xiuman be so bad?

Han Mingjin does not mean to promote the European and American markets and Western culture, but this is the reality. Don't go there. The money and reputation I earn now are enough to live a high-quality life without regrets. But being able to really break into the international arena is the goal of every artist. A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Although not every soldier became a general, every soldier must have dreamed of it.

Needless to say, there are some things that you can't understand by saying. Especially when he looked at the young women, he also looked noncommittal, of course, he was not against Han Mingjin. Han Mingjin believed that he would not agree. They will be on their side for no reason. But what Han Mingjin wants is that their own concepts can be changed, after all, they will really enter the international arena in the future, and the road will be paved by themselves, but they will have to go by themselves.

"The problem seems more serious than you think. Han Mingjin looked at the young women with different expressions. Leaning over and asking, "Do you still want to try?" Kim Taeyeon hesitated and said, "We never decide these ourselves." Also...... Nothing special for the opinion. "The stalemate has been until now, and Li Xiuman and Kim Jingmin, who thought that this plan would be shattered. Suddenly, my eyes lit up. Because from Kim Taeyeon's tone and Han Mingjin's attitude, they saw a hint of a turnaround.

Li Xiuman smiled and said: "The artist." Although the profit tiering is contractual, the specific plan and arrangement must be agreed to. Now that we disagree, it's up to you to decide. Tiffany frowned and looked at Kim Taeyeon, "What's there to hesitate about?"

Kim Taeyeon shook her head helplessly and bowed slightly to Lee so-man: "I'm sorry teacher, let's only release a new album in Asia." I think the rest is ...... "Forget it." Han Mingjin shook his head with a smile: "I know that you will definitely be on my side, but what I don't want is that you don't understand what I mean and choose directly." I think you heard what I said to Director Li Xiuman just now. Regardless of whether you really support me or not, but in the final analysis, it is about your plan to conquer Europe and the United States in the future, then give it a try this time. You have to understand it thoroughly, so that you can better understand what it means and how difficult it is if you really want to develop there in the future. ”

Dragging Sunny and Seo Hyun to stand up, Han Mingjin looked at Li Xiuman: "That's it." It's a pity, but it's worth it in exchange for a change in your thinking, and the impact of a song "hollaback girl" is worth it. Let's go according to your original plan, I'll take Sister Sunny and Sister Seo Hyun to talk about the script. ”

After that, he ignored everyone and pulled the inexplicable Sunny and Seo Hyun out of the president's room. Only Shao Shi, who looked at each other, and Li Xiuman, who frowned and said nothing, was left. Kim Jingmin clapped her hands and asked her to go back to practice the dance of the new album when she was young, while she stayed behind and discussed her plan with Lee so-man. After all, it's been a long time since the two of them have come to an agreement...... Especially when it comes to the conflict of ideas with that adult. (To be continued.) )
