Chapter 497: Sauvignon Blanc
"What do you think the two of them are talking about?"
Holding the free drink from the tavern in one hand and taking a sip with a straw without ruining her lip makeup, Kim Taeyeon was surprised by the novelty of the taste and thanked the boss for his generosity. X
With her not excellent English skills, Taeyeon took a look at this ordinary thing that she thought was a cola at first, and then she realized the hidden mystery in it.
"Lemon & Paeroa? Soyoung, do you know what this is?"
In such a short period of time, she has cultivated a relationship with her girlfriends who are far more intimate than in China, so young looked at the package and said uncertainly: "This is the drink of the Coca-Cola family......, right? Lemonade?"
She guessed intermittently in a hesitant tone, and finally shook her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry Sister Taeyeon, I don't know much about it." ”
In fact, this is a very characteristic soft drink in New Zealand, originally made with lemon juice mixed with the peculiar sparkling mineral water of the town of Paeroa, but after being acquired by Coca-Cola, it gradually tasted like lemon-flavored Sprite with added sugar.
However, its relatively novel taste and protectionist approach to selling it have allowed it to retain its huge local popularity, and in fact it is difficult to find it anywhere else in the world except in New Zealand.
"Anyway, it tastes pretty good. Taeyeon smacked her lips in satisfaction, and after consciously checking her makeup with the touch-up mirror, she made sure that there were no blemishes before looking at the two who were talking eagerly not far away.
They were the same two people she asked about at the beginning.
"What's there to talk about......" mixed with a slight disgruntled complaint, in Taeyeon's eyes, Kim Min-seok chatted with the white boss who was very heavy and quite obese, and it was almost a kind of spitting passion.
It seems that the owner is trying to recommend his wine to Minshuk, and that he has the best bartender in the whole of eastern Auckland. Su Ying narrowed her eyes, and tried to distinguish the conversation through the not too far distance and the wriggling lips of the two people watching in her eyes: "Minseok said that he has to work today, and he can come over in the evening to try the rest, I can't hear the rest clearly, the boss's English accent is too strong." ”
Taeyeon raised her eyebrows, nodded in surprise, and glanced at her mouth quirkily.
Combined with the waiter costume she had changed into, her mature and glamorous makeup, and her braided hair, the contradictory sense of disobedience really made Su Ying fall into the charm that this woman unintentionally exuded for a while.
"Taeyeon! Seeing Kim Min-seok waving at him from a distance, Taeyeon smiled grandly and walked up to him and his boss nervously.
"Steve, this is Taeyeon. One hand held Taeyeon's back, and while the action was not particularly intimate, the two gentle pats also seemed to give Taeyeon courage: "That is, your partner today, the hero of our MV." ”
"Hello, Taeyeon, I'm Steve, the owner here. Compared to the rude appearance, the boss's conversation was unexpectedly gentle, and he gently shook Taeyeon's hand: "I'm sure you'll like my tavern very much, she's my pride." ”
"Just with that bottle of your treasured Sauvignon Blanc," with a wicked smile, Kim Min-seok pointed to the neatly displayed good wine on the counter: "I saw it!"
"You can't do this!" the boss pretended to be pompous, but his eyes showed a look of admiration and envy for the treasure: "That is the first barrel of 1973! It is of great significance! I want to keep it as an heirloom!"
Using the topics that the other party is interested in, and skillfully guiding the direction of the conversation, Kim Min-suk's subtle chat skills ensure that even if Taeyeon is a little scared, the boss will eventually be happy to make friends with them.
"Do you know anything about wine?" Taeyeon asked quietly as he returned.
"When it comes to New Zealand red wine, the most famous is Sauvignon Blanc," Kim Min-seok said quietly, "You guessed right, I'm blind." ”
"You!" replied completely unexpectedly, but on reflection, Taeyeon's eye makeup made up for the small imperfections caused by her sparse eyebrows.
"Let's go, filming is about to start. Urging Taeyeon, Kim Min-seok took the lead in returning to the place where he was stationed.
Whether it is Kim Min-kyung's excellent coordination skills or Director Kang's excellent professional skills, the entire MV shooting team, although it was formed in a hurry, did not communicate well in advance, and at some times seemed chaotic, but once the backbone was smoothed, the gears began to turn, and they put aside their prejudices and worked together, and everyone was like a machine with a full tank of oil, running steadily and accurately.
To conquer these two arrogant and arrogant people in a sense, with the ability to learn from real talents, rather than the support and majesty of the company's top management, Kim Min-suk's far-sighted behavior has proved to be not only more sincere respect, but also a more harmonious team with an internal atmosphere.
No, it's only been a night, Kim Min-kyung has contacted and confirmed the various shooting locations, and no matter which relevant department, they have shown great enthusiasm in this kind of thing that can earn back word-of-mouth reputation without too much effort.
Although Kim Min-kyung's eyes were red, and she was a little weak in her steps while shouting hoarsely through the megaphone, she was still very proud.
This is also the first time that she has left the remote command of the general manager and is truly in charge of such a large project. I have to admit that Kim Min-seok's considerable degree of blindness and deliberate indulgence gave Kim Min-kyung the opportunity to display his abilities and talents to the fullest.
And for Director Jiang, things are much simpler. After all, it was the team under Yang Yixing's personal confirmation, and the previous distrust and subtle provocation of Kim Min-seok were also the deep-rooted prejudices of South Koreans against age and seniority due to instinct. He wants to give Kim Min-seok a dismount and take the initiative, so that he can have the right to speak in the specific shooting.
But in the face of the script sent by Kim Min-suk, no amount of planning is useless. is such a very capable person who doesn't look like a fool, coupled with the support of the top boss, Director Jiang can't see that he has room to turn around, and the key is that there is no need to turn the tables.
Isn't his original intention to be afraid that the layman will guide the insider, Kim Min-seok doesn't know how to pretend to understand and can't write the script and mess up the shooting? Now that he has a script, what are you still anxious about?
However, I am still a little depressed when I think about it, I have been traveling as a director for several years, large and small advertising CFs, MVs of male stars and girl groups, and even variety shows have been involved, but I was deflated in front of such a yellow-mouthed child?
Seeing Kim Min-seok surrounded by Taeyeon So-young and Kim Min-kyung, and the thin beauty of Huanfeiyan like a cloud, Director Kang, who was in the middle of the thirties, sighed very unpleasantly.
This guy looks like a composer?
His eyes rolled, and he came up with a good way to save face.
"Gold Maker. The call from behind him interrupted Kim Min-suk, who was chatting enthusiastically surrounded by three beauties.
He turned around, bowed and asked, "Director Jiang." ”
Taeyeon saluted abruptly, and Soyoung and Kim Minkyung took a step back.
This is a confrontation between two men, and in a sense, it is also a transfer of power.
"Producer Kim is looking for a very good place," Director Jiang looked up at the tavern, "it has the kind of taste I want." ”
"It's up to you to shoot the shot, Taeyeon Xi and I both believe in your level and will guarantee the best quality. Kim Min-seok smiled modestly.
"I heard that you are also the composer of the title song? Director Jiang politely said: "With such a meaningful work, you don't plan to leave some traces of yourself?"
Taeyeon's eyes lit up, Kim Min-kyung frowned, and So-young pursed her lips and rationally chose to hand it over to Kim Min-seok to dispose of.
Without waiting for Kim Min-seok to react and answer, Director Jiang raised his voice and looked at the staff around: "Everyone said, do you want Producer Kim to make a cameo in the MV?"
"Okay!" Taeyeon, who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, was the first to take the lead in applauding, clapping her little hands and not forgetting to set off the atmosphere: "I'm totally looking forward to it!"
"Good!"
"Agreed!"
"Seconded!"
A series of applause resounded one after another. Kim Min-seok raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Hei Bai didn't decide whether to refuse or not, so he was held high.
"Kim Make, Kim Make, Kim Make......" The neat and uniform slogan that Koreans habitually shouted when they persuaded them to drink resounded under the foreign sky, Kim Min-seok shook his head helplessly, and pressed his hands down to signal everyone to calm down: "Okay! I agreed!"
"You're going to sit here for a while, and you're going to have to show that dusty taste, though I'm not going to give you too many shots. ”
Sitting on a high stool in front of the bar counter, Kim Min-seok took the trouble to stop Director Kang and tell him over and over again the precautions in filming.
Looking at Director Kang, who thought he had succeeded in his prank and inadvertently revealed pleasure from his eyes, Kim Min-seok was also hesitating in his heart.
If I told him that I was an actor, would he be so angry that he would vomit blood and die?
This question...... It's worth thinking about......
Finally waiting for the goods to leave, the boss was mixing wine for Kim Min-seok with great interest, and he was very happy to enjoy the atmosphere of the shooting, and he did not hesitate to provide Kim Min-seok with a little gift of his own. Taeyeon leaned over the bar.
"Hey. Sticking out her tongue, she looked a little nervous before filming officially started: "Am I causing you trouble?"
"It's fine. Kim Min-seok bent his fingers and tapped on the wooden bar, following the cracked fine texture, feeling the traces left by the years, and said disapprerovingly: "Anyway, the final editing is mine."
"It's you," Kim Min-seok said with a smile looking at Taeyeon's resentful eyes that he threw at himself after he suddenly came to his senses, "You can't be nervous because of the first time you're shooting a music video alone, right?"
"Whew. Taeyeon gasped and showed a smile that didn't have any confidence: "I'm used to singing alone, and it's the first time to shoot alone, to be honest." ”
"It's going to be the norm in the future. Kim Min-seok comforted gently: "This is just a MV, you have to digest the follow-up activities alone, and there will be no other eight ...... on the singing stage." Seven people are standing next to you. ”
"But aren't you still there when you're singing?" Taeyeon looked at Kim Min-seok seriously and asked with a seeming confirmation, "You'll be by my side, right?"
Kim Min-seok was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Calculate the time, when Taeyeon debuted, it was the time when "Please Answer 1988" was broadcast, and the follow-up filming tasks were still to be carried out, and he really might not be able to find time to accompany Kim Taeyeon to several TV stations to play songs feat.
However, seeing that Taeyeon's palm-sized face was full of anticipation, Kim Min-seok couldn't bear to refuse now, and said vaguely: "Then I need to say, I'm your royal rapper." ”
"It's decided!" Taeyeon suddenly smiled, and the tension in her heart unconsciously dissipated a lot.
"Jin Production, you get out of the way first, and then you will appear on the camera. Taeyeon Xi prepares, group performance in place, 3,2,1,,action!"
Director Kang's rhythm is fast and not messy because of this speed, and Taeyeon's role is very deep, partly because Kim Min-suk's script is really written to her heart, and on the other hand, because of the emotional rendering of the title song.
Watching Taeyeon follow the plot and pretend to be a waitress wearing flowers and butterflies walking between the guests and the table, and serving the food sensitively, Kim Min-seok narrowed his eyes and looked deep.
I'm not sure I'll always be there for you, after all, the future is too far away and the reality is too close.
I can only guarantee that at this moment, I am indeed by your side, staring at your figure.
A foot of red eyebrows, Sauvignon Blanc, unforgettable.
No matter how smooth the viewing looks and how sharp the editing is, when a music video is filmed on location, its footage is bound to be fragmented.
In other words, the director plans a 10 to 15 second shot for the actors to perform according to the script, and then selects individual clips to be used in the final work according to the actual situation.
Taeyeon's performance today can be said to be in place, although her acting skills have always been embarrassing, but at least she is more real and open today.
This is the scene where Kim Min-seok needs to appear, and Taeyeon, who is tired of the endless work day after day, is determined to put down her burden and abandon her job and run away!
That is, when she quarrels with her boss and takes away the key to the sports car that the boss put on the counter, Kim Min-seok has to sit at the bar and watch the whole time.
According to Director Kang, Kim Min-suk's perspective represents the long-term attention of fans, and witnessing Taeyeon's efforts will also witness her breaking out of the cocoon into a butterfly.
But Kim Min-seok always felt that this old boy just wanted to fix himself, otherwise why would he arrange such an embarrassing role, please let me play the boss, bartender, it would be more promising......
But there is no doubt that this complaint cannot be spoken, so he can only pretend to be a dusty traveler, sit at the bar and sip a good cocktail, waiting for a girl to rush over and slap the table and stare at the boss to quarrel and break up.
