Chapter 20. Press Conference (Part I)
Next to the computer in the study, Lee Jung-hyun hung up Sean. After Anderson's phone call, he was now busy flipping through the pages of major entertainment reports, smiling very proudly.
Looking at the various newspapers, the good things they said seemed to be written desperately without spending money, Li Zhengxian sighed comfortably, thinking in his heart that it was time to meet with everyone, picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number.
"Uncle Quan, I have a discussion with you, can I borrow your radio to hold a press conference?
Quan Hengyuan's puzzled voice came from the phone, "Junghyun, why do you want to hold a press conference?"
"Uncle Quan, this is a good opportunity, after all, the TV series has been launched, the effect is very good, the ratings have just broken the premiere record, but now there is nothing to hide, just take this opportunity to hold a press conference, let everyone know more.
Li Zhengxian swallowed his saliva and continued: "Uncle Quan, what do you think, the current media must be very curious about our crew and actors, or they know very little, just to attract the attention of the media, make a comprehensive report, satisfy the curiosity of the audience, and also use the media to do a comprehensive free advertisement.
Uncle Quan, do you think it's a good idea?
Quan Hengyuan was silent for a while, Li Zhengxian did not interrupt his thinking, Li Zhengxian also knew that everything has advantages and disadvantages, without any interest relationship, Quan Hengyuan did not dare to make claims, after all, the TV station is not his own, he must make any decision based on the TV station, Li Zhengxian also understands very well.
After Quan Hengyuan weighed the pros and cons, he still agreed, "Zhengxian, I think you are right, from the beginning of the preparation, filming to the broadcast of this drama, I have not officially met with the audience, and I have already aroused resentment, just take this opportunity to let ordinary audiences know more things, and I can use the media to publicize more, I will arrange this, start on time at three o'clock in the afternoon, you can also prepare, after speaking, I hung up the phone without waiting for Li Zhengxian to speak."
Listening to the beep of the busy line on the phone, Li Zhengxian also shook his head helplessly, and then dialed the phone again.
"Brother Xuan, I'm Lee Jung-hyun,
"Yes, there is something, I will inform you, at three o'clock in the afternoon, I am going to hold a press conference at KBS, and you will also come over at that time, and I will help you introduce you to everyone.
"Don't worry, Brother Xuan, it's okay, I've arranged everything, KBS Radio agreed, I'll see you in the afternoon, bye-bye."
After making the call, Lee Jung-hyun felt a lot more relaxed, holding a press conference to promote the TV series was only one of them, and the main purpose was to promote his next TV series, movies and albums.
Li Zhengxian is very aware of the power of the media, no matter what period, the media's propaganda is the fastest and most effective, except for the quality of the work itself, the media's propaganda is the first to bear the brunt, so Li Zhengxian himself understands in his heart that there is such an arrangement, "Success or failure, gain or lose, just fight here."
After lunch, Xuan Bingxuan drove to Li Zhengxian's residence, the car was a new modern business nanny car, and SM gave Li Zhengxian a new special car.
"Brother Xuan, so early? It's just over a little over, what are you anxious about? Li Zhengxian really took a lunch break, and was woken up by the doorbell, and when he opened the door to see that he was urging Bingxuan, Li Zhengxian said dissatisfiedly.
Xuan Bingxuan didn't say much, closed the door casually, and walked to the living room and sat down, "Zhengxian, your first press conference is particularly important, have you thought about what to say?"
Li Zhengxian thought in his heart at this time, what press conference he hadn't seen in his previous life? Hollywood has been mixed, although it is not very good, at least it has seen it, right? But Li Zhengxian could only think in his heart, "Brother Xuan, it's okay, I know what I can say and what I can't say."
Xuan Bingxuan nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, let's go, let's go to the beauty salon to put on makeup first, do a hair style, and then pick out a few outfits, there is not much time left, so we have to hurry."
Li Zhengxian looked at Xuan Bingxuan in a daze and asked suspiciously: "I still understand how to do the head shape and pick clothes, what is this makeup for?" I'm a big guy going to make up? Forget it, don't disgust me! After speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the house.
KBS radio hall, the temporary "Blue Life and Death Love" press conference venue, a group of media learned that "Blue Life and Death Love" was going to hold a press conference, they were like smelling bloody sharks, and they hurried to the scene, and the hall that can accommodate more than 100 people suddenly seemed extremely crowded.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the actors and actresses of the "Blue Life and Death Love" crew arrived, and the press conference officially began.
"Lee Jung-hyunxi, hello, I'm a reporter from Chosun Ilbo, may I ask, under what circumstances did you think of adapting the TV script, and what drove you to direct it yourself? Thank you", a male reporter with glasses put down the microphone after asking a question, holding a pen and preparing to record.
Li Zhengxian held the microphone in his hand and nodded his head promptly, "This reporter friend asked a very good question just now, in fact, I would have said this question if you didn't ask it, but it's a pity that you wasted a rare opportunity to ask questions!" As soon as Lee Jung-hyun's words fell, everyone laughed.
Lee Jung-hyun smiled and continued: "Actually, the reason is very simple, I am a student of Seoul University, and it is estimated that all the media friends here know it, and after listening to Lee Jung-hyun's words, everyone nodded to indicate that they knew.
Lee Jung-hyun continued to maintain a good attitude and told the reason for his compilation, "Once during the lunch break on campus, I was walking in the campus playground and saw a female classmate holding a book in her hand, admiring it with tears, so I was curious like a girl walking over, I wanted to see what kind of book would make a girl cry when she read it on the playground regardless of her image."
Li Zhengxian seemed to be telling a story, and then said: "But as soon as I walked in front of the girl, the trouble was big, I just wanted to speak, but I was seen by a passerby, and I muttered quietly, I heard it clearly, they muttered: "The man is really not responsible now, look at how miserable that girl is bullied?" If you cry so sadly, you must have been dumped.
As soon as he spoke, Li Zhengxian shrugged his shoulders without tears, and the reporters below also burst into laughter, and everyone asked, "What happened later?" Does it have anything to do with this TV series?
Li Zhengxian heard everyone's questions, so he patiently said, "I was depressed to death, but I didn't know how to explain it, so I was in a hurry and told a lie, I said at the time, we were discussing the plot, she was moved by the story, you should pay attention to it, this novel is about to be changed into a TV series."
Maybe my lies are ridiculous! The girl who had just cried suddenly burst out laughing, and just like that, a few people who had just muttered believed it and left, and the crying girl said to me: "Big screenwriter? Great director? Notify me when it's time to start! I'm the first to support you, this book is sent to you, go back and adapt it well! After saying that, he left, or turned around with a smile and left,
I was dumbfounded, and in a fit of rage, I swore that I would soon let you see that the girl had not turned her head back and I made a gesture of contempt.
I was so angry at the time, I went back and read it carefully, wanting to see what story could make her cry so sadly? Slowly, I was attracted by the story inside, maybe it was because I was young, impulsive, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, so I found the original author to buy the film and television copyright, and started to do it.
Maybe at first I just wanted to prove to that girl that I could do it, but then I fell in love with the work, and then it became what it is now
By the way, I will reveal a little more than this, I have adapted more than this one, it is two, everyone knows that "Blue Life and Death Love" is four stories, respectively with spring, summer, autumn and winter as the background story, so I adapted two, one is the "Autumn Fairy Tale" that is now playing, the second is "Winter Love Song", the script KBS has also been approved, this filming is over, "Winter Love Song" will be ready for filming immediately, the next work, I will not appear again, I want to concentrate on directing the next play, thank you. After saying that, he stood up and bowed in thanks.
As soon as Li Zhengxian's voice fell, there was warm applause below, the media's sense of smell is still very sensitive, Li Zhengxian's first work is not over yet, he is preparing for the next work, and tomorrow's headlines are again, and at the same time from a novel, two TV series, what a look forward to!
The host of the scene motioned down to press his hand, indicating that everyone was quiet, and continued to stretch out his hand to invite reporters to interview.
"Minister Quan, Nim, hello, I am a reporter from the Central Political Daily, may I ask, what is the reason why you dare to use a work of an inexperienced director, or a completely new director?
Quan Hengyuan nodded and said, "To be honest, I may have a fate with Zhengxian, his mentor is my old classmate, and my old classmate who has never come to the TV station for a day has come to me and recommended his student's script to me, I thought at the time, what kind of student can make the iron-faced and selfless him recommend his student's script to me?"
I didn't read the script at the time, so I put it aside perfunctorily, and after sending away my old classmates, I was really bored, so I took it and looked at it at random, and I was stunned on the spot, it was actually a comic, no, it should be a sketch, and the characters were portrayed vividly, expressions, costumes, backgrounds, and they were all complete.
The characters are also very distinctive, and I thought at the time, where is this script? It's clearly the script after shooting! Not only that, but the story is an important reason for attracting me, I have also read the original, but this script is even more charming by his adaptation.
Although Jung-hyun is very young and has no experience, although I don't dare to say that I am proficient in TV dramas, I dare to say that I think the works that can be done will at least not hit the streets.
So, I tried my best to finalize this work and shoot it by Lee Jung-hyun, but, to be honest, I didn't know the bottom of my heart at the time, but my intuition told me that Lee Jung-hyun was credible, at least he was a national genius, a genius who could be recognized by the whole country among 50 million people, why didn't I believe it once?
So under my persuasion, the leaders of the whole Taiwan were willing to let Lee Zhengxian try to shoot two episodes, let him continue if he could, and it would not be too late to change the director if he didn't work, so everyone saw the result, Li Zhengxian did not disappoint me, and no one disappointed the whole country.
"To the next part of "Winter Love Song", I don't want to say more, but I, Quan Hengyuan, dare to guarantee the ticket, it is definitely worth your expectations
