Chapter 22: The Premiere of My Sassy Girlfriend (Part I)

Ji Mingzhe returned to the company with a large team, and Kwak Jae-yong was already waiting for him in the office, and the two negotiated the release time of "My Sassy Girlfriend", and finally decided to hold the premiere in the cinema of Myeongzhe Hall three days later.

Ji Mingzhe waited for Guo Zairong to leave and entered the recording studio, he wanted to write OST for "Ghost Bell", sat there and thought for a long time, picked up the pen and buried himself in writing.

For the episode of this movie, he chose "The Day You Left", which is a song sung by men and women in duet, and he is ready to have Baek Ji-young and Park Jin-young work together. The theme song is called "Layback", and he has to sing it himself. The room was quiet only the occasional voice of Ji Mingzhe's writing, and he hummed the melody in his mouth and silently recited the lyrics in his heart. I kept writing, and after 3 hours, I called Park Jin-young and Baek Ji-young and handed them the paper with the lyrics and songs.

"Myeong-cheol, this song makes me sing with Ji-young, your songs are always so good. Park Zhenying looked at the score happily, Bai Zhiying kept nodding in agreement, during this time, Bai Zhiying sang "Thinking of You, Crying", "One Love is Enough" and "To Lose It" has always occupied the top position on major music websites, making her very famous now, especially after participating in the singing show on major TV stations, the fans directly exceeded 70,000.

At the beginning of October 2000, hot released their fifth album "OutsideCastle", which is said to have been written by the members of the group themselves, and on May 27, 2000, Shinhwa also released their third album "OnlyOne" , As for the crystal boy has been disbanded this year, plus the god who was given up by Ji Mingzhe also debuted, and just released the first chapter of the album "To Mother", whether this boy group that has been delayed in debut time will still be the same as in the previous life Chi Mingzhe doesn't care, of course, there is also the fin.k.l girl group of DSP company is not bad, for this girl group Ji Mingzhe just paid attention to the two beautiful women of Lee Hyori and Cheng Youli. He knows that HOT will be finished next year, so he is not ready to deal with the companies behind these combinations yet, and he will play their own games for the time being.

The current Bai Zhiying can be said to have been born out of nowhere, her excellent singing skills are incomparable to the members of these idol groups, her unique voice and long voice are also good, and with Ji Mingzhe's excellent and beautiful songs from later generations, it is unreasonable not to be popular. Ji Mingzhe has already discussed with Park Jin-young that after Christmas this year, the nine boys in the company will be sent to the United States for a year of further study, and strive to bring them to the market in 2002.

Ji Mingzhe walked into the studio and asked Park Jin-young to help record "Layback":

"Oh...... Oh, oh......"

"Lean back, don't break up with you......"

"Lean back, I can only watch your back fade away......"

“SayyoulovemeBabyhugme……”

“OhtellmeI‘mtheonlyoneWoo……”

"Love you as much as I can......"

"Do what I can to make you happy......" ......

Ji Mingzhe is now singing more and more confidently, plus he has a good voice and sings this song beautifully and pleasantly, Bai Zhiying feels that it is a very correct choice to come to Skyrim Entertainment at this time, Ji Mingzhe is an excellent world-class musician, and his songwriting ability is beyond doubt, as her boss, she must be the first to think of her if she has a good song, these are what other singers dream of, and I feel that I am too lucky.

"Zhiying, when the movies of me and Director Guo are released next year, I will give you a proper album, and now at the end of the year, I will release a soundtrack album for you first, put all the OSTs in our two movies, and warm up the market first. Ji Myung-cheol said to Baek Ji-young after recording the song.

"Thank you! Mingzhe!" The two are in the same year, so they have always been commensurate with each other, and Bai Zhiying was a little excited at this moment.

"Mingzhe! Don't forget to promise me an album in English. Park Jin-young is also thinking about his album.

"I know, I won't forget it. Okay, you two go in and try to record the song. Ji Mingzhe said indifferently, and Bai Zhiying next to him looked at the two of them with some envy, English album!

"I can't believe the day will come without me in your heart......"

"Just because I was too clumsy to speak, I had to wait......"

"Nothing is just for you ......"

"My inadequate thoughts pushed you further, didn't it......"

"Now you're wet like the rain......"

"It seems to have been like this in my distant memory......"

"On the days when you fell so ......"

"The tears that I always endure are like rain and keep ......"

"It's always possible to do it together...... "......

Ji Mingzhe listened to Bai Zhiying's crying singing, and the whole person fell into a sad mood that he couldn't extricate himself. And Park Zhenying's cooperation is also quite perfect, the two sing each other well, very compatible, this song "The Day You Left" will definitely be a big hit. Ji Mingzhe applauded vigorously at Baek Ji-young and Park Jin-young, who walked out of the recording studio.

Ji-young's voice was so perfect that my scalp tingled as I listened to it. Park Jin-young also praised Baek Ji-young.

"Where! The main thing is that Mingzhe's songs are well written!" Bai Zhiying was a little embarrassed to be praised.

"Ji-young, you don't have to be modest, your strength is enough to deserve any praise, don't worry! Sooner or later, one day I will let you stand on the Grammy podium like Brother Jin-young and loudly introduce you to the world that you are the singer Baek Ji-young from South Korea. Ji Mingzhe smiled and made a promise to Baek Ji-young. The ultimate dream stage of all singers in the world, it seems that he imagined the scene of standing on that ultimate stage that day, and Baek Ji-young's eyes were slightly red with excitement.

After finishing the recording of the song, Ji Myung-cheol took Lee Yong-sik and began to devote himself to the busy post-production of the film, and "My Sassy Girlfriend" will also be released in South Korea. One of the largest screening rooms in the Mingzhekan Cinema has been set up and is waiting for the premiere.

At 6 o'clock in the evening on October 22, 2000, at the entrance of the main entrance of the Myeongcheol Pavilion, Ji Myung-cheol and Kwak Jae-yong led Jun Ji-hyun, Cha Tae-hyun and a group of actors, waiting for the upcoming guests, news media reporters have already gathered aside, this premiere is the first work of Skyline Film and Television in South Korea, Ji Myung-cheol and Kwak Jae-yong sent invitations to the heads of various film companies, actors and major directors in Chungmuro, and the guests have arrived one after another as the time has come.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is director Park Chan-wook, and his "Joint Security Area" in September was a box office hit!" Guo Jae-yong introduced it loudly to Ji Mingzhe.

"Hello, Director Park, we are deeply honored to have you here!" Ji Mingzhe held Park Chan-wook's hand and lowered his posture, he liked Park Chan-wook more in his previous life as a director.

"You're welcome!Chairman Chi!" Park Chan-wook said politely.

Director Park is known for his noir weirdness, and should even be classified as a CULT film director, his films are full of bloody violence and erotic scenes, full of his personal offensive thinking, often cruelly unacceptable, but he has made a positive contribution to the diversity of Korean films, so Park Chan-wook is known as the "dark master" in the film industry, and in the Korean film industry, peers and audiences call him "the darkest guy".

Released in South Korea in September this year, "Joint Security Area" is his first attempt to shoot a film in the Hollywood-style format of Super35mm, which widens the visibility of the screen, increases the depth of field, and adds near-full-screen playback to make the visual image effect more realistic. Moreover, this film is also the first film in South Korea to show the friendship between the soldiers of the North and the South in a positive way, which brings together Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun, Lee Young-ae, Shin Ha-kyun, these famous actors.

Ji Mingzhe knows that this movie will finally win the Best Film and the Highest-Grossing Korean Film at the 21st South Korean Blue Dragon Film Awards, as well as the Best Film Award at the 38th Korean Film Daejong Awards, I don't know what kind of box office "My Sassy Girlfriend" will get, and now it will be released nearly a year earlier than in the previous life, and Ji Mingzhe has no idea what the final result will be.

Ji Mingzhe very much hopes to establish a good cooperative relationship with Park Chan-wook, after all, Skyline Film and Television is going to vigorously develop in South Korea, these help is indispensable, although Park Chan-wook is an extremely arrogant and personalized director, but Ji Ming-cheol's identity is there, and he is also very polite to say that he is looking forward to the day when he can cooperate with Skyline Film and Television. Next, a large group of famous actors such as Jang Dong-jian, Lee Byung-hun, Choi Min-sik, Song Kang-ho, Jeon Do-yeon, Lee Young-ae, etc., among the actors, Ji Ming-cheol also saw Kim Hye-so, an actress known as the most beautiful breasts in Korea, shook his hand and expressed regret, Kim Hye-so responded with a smile and had the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

When he met with director Jiang Digui, he showed great enthusiasm, he came for this "Tai Chi Flag Flying", of course, at this time, Jiang Digui's film has not yet appeared, and it never hurts to get a good relationship in advance. The arrival of directors such as Choi Dong-hoon, Kim Ki-duk, Kim Ji-yun and Kang Woo-seok is also very enthusiastic, these are the backbone of the Korean film industry, especially for Kang Woo-suk's "Sebi Island", Ji Myung-cheol is very coveted, and he is considering whether to simply plagiarize the scripts of the two movies "Tai Chi Flag Flying" and "Sebi Island" first.

When a vice president and two ministers arrived on Xijie's side, Ji Mingzhe personally accompanied him into the theater, most of the filmmakers on the scene Ji Mingzhe did not know, but they all knew him, after all, he was very famous in the international music scene, and he also made two high-grossing movies in Hollywood, and they greeted each other along the way, and when most of them sat down, Ji Mingzhe and Guo Jae-yong took Jun Ji-hyun and Cha Tae-hyun and other actors to the stage to speak, and accepted interviews and questions from the media, and finally Baek Ji-young came to the stage to sing the theme song of the movie"Thinking of You, Crying", everyone at the scene was attracted by Baek Ji-young's beautiful singing voice, and the reporters kept pressing the flash.

Amid the warm applause of the scene, the lights dimmed, and the premiere of the movie "My Sassy Girlfriend" began.
