Chapter 17: The Rivals Appear
As a character with a head and a face, you must have a similar rival to show your identity, this is the case in novels, anime, movies, TV series, and the same is true in real life, for Song Kanghao, Xue Jingqiu is such an enemy who can reflect his taste. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe antagonism between the two does not come from direct competition caused by their personal achievements in the film industry, but from the antagonism of their respective circles.
Although Song Kang-ho became famous because of the amazing performance in "Joint Security Area", it was "Memories of Murder" that really made him join the ranks of the "troika", and then the big hit of "Monster of the Han River" made him faintly suppress Xue Jingqiu, and behind the latter two works, there is a person's name that has to be mentioned, that is, Bong Joon-ho, who is known as a ghost director in South Korea. Bong Joon-ho is Ahn Nae-xiang's good brother, and Ahn Nee-minister is the brother of Xue Jingqiu's ex-wife An Renjing, after Xue Jingqiu abandoned his wife and children and showed a negative side, Song Kang-ho, who has been taken care of by Bong Jun-ho many times, will certainly not have a good impression of him.
Everyone in Ahn Neixiang's family felt that a bastard like Xue Jingqiu should be punished, and Bong Joon-ho's pressure in the circle did make him uncomfortable for a while, but it didn't take long for him to hug the thigh of Kang Youshuo, a well-known director he had worked with before, and he was once again full of popularity, although he never won the honor of actor again, his popularity under the big screen has always been very good.
God doesn't have long eyes, Bong Joon-ho and the others think that they are venting their evil anger for the brothers and sisters of Ahn Nei-sang, and Song Kang-ho, as a person who has received Bong Joon-ho's favor, of course hopes to find an opportunity to embarrass this old enemy. If there was no video of Xue Jingqiu being reprimanded by Liang Baoguang in the coffee shop before, he probably wouldn't be interested in "Miryang", but after having that relationship, even if it was just to disgust that guy, he would be willing to take the job, not to mention that with Quan Duyan's partner, no matter how bad this movie is, it won't be ridiculously bad.
"This place is a bit difficult to find, so I came a little late, and I admit punishment if there is a punishment, I hope a few people don't mind. "Song Kanghao doesn't have the temperament of an actor at all, no matter how you look at it, he is an uncle next door, especially when he laughs, he always has a symbolic little character atmosphere.
"It's okay, we've only been here for a while, so I'll introduce you here. Jeon Do-yeon took the initiative to stand up and say hello, although she was six years younger than Song Kang-ho, she debuted six years earlier than the other party, and according to Korean tradition, the priority of the seniority relationship is still ahead of the age, so she is the biggest person at this table.
"Kim Tae-hee, who doesn't know. Song Kang-ho was a little surprised but perfectly concealed it, he didn't know why Kim Tae-hee would get involved in a movie with only two people, but he didn't have a good position until he figured out the situation.
"Senior, I'm a fan of yours and I've always followed your work, so it's my honor to have dinner with you today. After Kim Tae-hee finished speaking, she began to feel embarrassed again, because she had said something similar to Jeon Do-yeon not long ago, although every word was sincere, but it sounded very fake.
"I'm also a fan of yours, our number one beauty in Korea. Song Kang-ho couldn't help but look back and forth between Kim Tae-hee and Yang Baoguang a few more times, and he was speculating about the relationship between the two like Jeon Do-yeon before, wondering if they were ready to fall in love openly.
"My name is Liang Baoguang, and I am a detective...... Director, please take care of us when we meet for the first time. Liang Baoguang admires people who are down-to-earth and persistent, and he did not show his arrogant attitude towards Xue Jingqiu when facing Song Kanghao, "I hope we can get along happily in the future shooting." ”
"Hahaha, that's nature. Song Kanghao looked at Liang Baoguang again, when he first saw the handsome and handsome appearance of the young man in front of him, he still thought that the other party was a rookie actor, and then after introducing themselves to each other, he put away his eyes to look at his juniors, he had already received the script of "Miryang" in the morning, and spent the whole afternoon pondering the script after lunch, and the more he looked at it, the more he admired the talent and insight of the script author, "I heard that you are a student of Harvard?"
"Harvard is just the name of a school, and it doesn't teach how to make movies. Liang Baoguang didn't pretend to be modest, he really didn't think it was great to study at Harvard, Song Kanghao in front of him didn't go to college or have professional acting training, and he didn't still sit firmly on the title of actor.
Liang Baoguang deliberately chose to come over to eat hot pot not only to satisfy his appetite, but also to use the unique atmosphere when eating hot pot to pull in the relationship with each other, eating in a pot is easy to make people close. He has many shortcomings, but he is self-aware, he never thinks that he is the hero of the novel, and with a shake of his two arms, he can make others worship him as a big brother, eating, drinking, and taking a sauna is the right way to get closer, and the attitude of Jeon Do-yeon and Song Kang-ho also proves this.
Everyone is talking about this movie, but no one mentions the salary, Jeon Do-yeon and Song Kang-ho are the actor and the other is the actress, just holding such a title will not be cheap, and Liang Baoguang is just personally funded and filmed, and they don't know how much the budget of this movie is. Liang Baoguang himself didn't plan to talk about remuneration here, since the two were willing to play him, they wouldn't let them suffer, and he would find someone to go to the other party's brokerage company to negotiate a suitable price.
Liang Baoguang intended to warm up the promotion of the movie, so he did not hide it during the meal, and generously allowed others to take pictures, and sure enough, the next day, several newspapers put them on the headlines of their own entertainment pages. Jeon Do-yeon and Song Kang-ho's appeal in movies is unparalleled, and the two eating and chatting together are easily reminiscent of film cooperation, so the attention to them suddenly exceeded the previous scandal between Liang Baoguang and Kim Tae-hee, and many fans said that this is a lifetime series, and finally waited for the cooperation between the actor and the actress.
The rivalry between the actor and the actress is expected, but the public's attitude towards the appearance of Liang Baoguang and Kim Tae-hee there is more malice, in the rumors on the streets, one of them is a smiling daughter and a beautiful woman, and the other is a 10,000-year-old vase that wants to hug the thighs of Jeon Do-yeon and Song Kang-ho.
"The sorrow of Korean society? Hehe, those defeated dogs can really bark, but no matter how cheerful they bark, it can't change the fact that they are dogs. Liang Gesheng casually threw the newspaper aside, took a sip of the soy milk in front of him, and then went to see his son's reaction, "What about your attitude, do you want to shut up these people?"
The public's attention to the movie itself is not very high, and relatively speaking, they are still more interested in the story behind the movie, such as how much money Liang Baoguang spent to invite the actor and actress to combine their swords. The good news media sourly said that he was swasting his father's money, and some critics bluntly said that if the film could recover its cost in the future, they would shave their hair in Chungmuro, and even used the movie to insinuate that the social distribution was unfair, and the chaebol's money was not clean, in short, in today's Korean society, whoever has money is a bad person, and those who don't have money are because they are too kind.
Liang Baoguang is of course scoffed at such a point of view, but he is not ready to stand up to refute the remarks of these "well-wishers", in the past two days, under their uninterrupted campaign, almost all of Seoul knows that the son of the chairman of the Xinsheng Group is going to spend money to make a movie, and Bojin Tae-hee, the first beauty, is happy, "Don't, I thank them for being too late, what a good free publicity, it helped me save a lot of publicity costs." ”
"It's good if you're happy. Liang Gesheng shook his head, their kind of people must have a good reputation if they want to survive, and no one will be willing to die for him if their reputation is too bad. But this point has great limitations in the entertainment industry, black fans in the entertainment industry are also fans, and they are also people who can bring income, many brokerage companies even take the initiative to do black things in order to make money, JYP Entertainment, which is known as the third giant in the brokerage company, is a good player, "By the way, after eating, hurry up and change a set of clothes, how can you accompany me to play ball when dressed like this?"
"Can I not go? Playing golf in the winter, it's easy to catch a cold. Liang Baoguang was a little entangled.
"Didn't you promise me before, you wanted to play with me for a day. The relationship between father and son is very good, they often go out together like friends, and Liang Baoguang spent Christmas with Yun Jingyi in New York, and Liang Gesheng proposed to let his son go out with him for a day.
Golf is considered a quasi-aristocratic sport, but in a small country with a population of only 50 million people like South Korea, there are 5 million people playing golf, and there are 500 golf courses of all sizes all over the country. Liang Gesheng is not the kind of person who likes to pretend, he used to play to negotiate business with others, and then he really liked this kind of sport with himself as an opponent.
"It's up to you, but don't expect me to spend the night with you. Liang Gesheng's most frequent course is Anyang Country Club, which he often stays at even though it's only a two-hour drive from Seoul. A golf course is more than just a place to play, the restaurants attached to the higher-ranked courses are usually excellent, and the accommodation provided is quite comfortable, and the father and son used to play there for two or three days before returning during the holidays.
"You're coming back to accompany Tae-hee, I know that. Liang Gesheng squeezed his eyes at his son.
"What's the matter, I'm close to her as a sister and brother, just let others spread it, what are you coaxing. Liang Baoguang scratched his head, Kim Tae-hee's barbaric type is hard enough to be his sister, and if he really marries home, he will have to provide for it.
"It's okay, I don't have to be too embarrassed to see the surname Jiang tomorrow. Liang Gesheng patted his son's shoulder with satisfaction
