Chapter 170: Spring Festival 2004
Hearing Ahn Ilyong's answer, Lee Min-cheol was relieved. It's true that Lotte is not very authentic on "My Little Bride", especially under the premise that the film is popular. Although it was completely exploded by "Savage Senior Sister" at the beginning, when the movie ended the screening, the little bride had already caught up with its box office of 200w people, and then continued to be released.
Not only reflected in the box office, the movie also caused widespread discussion in society, and even the minimum age of marriage in South Korea was raised by a few years not long after. So for such a movie with face and lining, Lotte is very grateful to its investment partner An Riyong, so there is an investment share of this movie.
And Li Minzhe doesn't care about all this anymore, the scene in front of him is what he values. Objectively speaking, Lee Min-chul's acting skills definitely did not meet Jiang Digui's requirements, but this was also forced helplessness. Seeing that the director looked dissatisfied, and then shook his head helplessly and shouted to pass, Lee Min-chul was very stimulated.
So the most filmed on the set is Lee Min-cheol, as long as he doesn't see Kang Digui's thumb, he asks for reshoots, keeps asking for advice with Jang Dongjian, discussing with the cameraman, and even learning about specific historical details with the crew's historical consultants.
People who work hard are at least not annoying, and Lee Min-cheol is still very humorous, at least there is a lot more laughter during filming, so everyone gradually recognized Lee Min-cheol.
After filming here for two months, Lee Min-chul only went back to Seoul once, got some clothes and dealt with some chores, and no one dared to ignore his requirements for a director of Kang Dikyu's level, so even if it was the Chinese New Year, everyone was still filming here in Jeonju.
Lee Min-cheol leaned against the wall, holding a rifle in his hand, his hat hung crookedly on his head, looking at the road on the side of the road of the crew, waiting for others at the same time thinking that this year was like a white horse passing by.
Lee Min-chul's 2003 was quite fulfilling, and his development was undoubtedly very good. First of all, with the drama Dae Jang Jin, whose average ratings almost broke 50, he successfully occupied the Korean TV screen for half a year, and at the end of the next year, My Little Bride became a masterpiece of both box office and word-of-mouth.
Although both plays are heroines' plays, Lee Min-cheol, even with his qualifications in the two films, is enough to be among the actors with guaranteed ratings and box office, which means that he can play a play that completely relies on himself to take the lead.
What's more, the "Tai Chi Flag Flying" that is being filmed now, not to mention the arrogance that it has just started filming and claims to reach 1000w viewers, the idea of this drama alone is enough to sweep the three major film festivals in South Korea, and it is not surprising that it has won overseas awards, so the fire of Lee Min-cheol's drama road will be visible in the next year, and the scripts of the three major stations are almost up to him.
And musically, the sales of Gao Yaotai's regular 5 albums have reached 60W, and President Kim of PK is already smiling from ear to ear, you must know that at the stage when the record market has shrunk, the singers who can sell this number are all treasures.
And the "Ten Minutes" that composed the music for Lee Hyori and the "A Man" who wrote the lyrics like a joke also pushed the two to the top, especially the royal sister Lee Hyori, relying on this song is enough for her to eat for ten years.
On variety shows, under the deliberate reduction of Li Minzhe, except for xman, he rarely appears on other programs, on the one hand, those small shows are really not interesting. Then there is to make way for Kim Jong-min, it is always bad for two people in a group to develop into variety shows together.
But fortunately, xman Lee Min-cheol is not just a guest, as one of the three hosts, Lee Min-cheol's hosting skills have been greatly recognized this year, at least many guests will tell the director team in advance that they want to go to Lee Min-cheol's group, because there are more laughs and the appearance rate is relatively high.
This is also the reason why Lee Min-cheol was taught by Liu Zai-seok, Jiang Hudong is mostly funny by his own performance, but Lee Min-chul likes to bring guests with him, although this is very tiring and the success rate is not too high, but those guests who can't be funny have all written down this favor.
And as a variety show that can break through 40% of the ratings (the episode in Thailand), everyone doesn't regard him as a variety show anymore, have you ever seen a variety show that is more popular than a TV series?
At the same time as Lee Min-chul's personal development, Lee Min-chul's company with his friends, LBC, is also thriving. After investing in the two movies "My Little Bride" and "Tai Chi Qi" one after another, the capital that was originally worth less than one billion snowballed to nearly 10 billion.
Although the money has not yet arrived and there is still one that is being filmed, everyone is very optimistic about the prospects, and An Riyong's strategic vision has also been unanimously recognized by everyone.
While investing in films, LBC's music department, which was not originally important, has also slowly developed, with Baek Ji-young, Lee Sun-hee, Kim Jong Kook, NRG, plus Ko Yo-tae, who will definitely join later, and the music team brought by Kim Jong Kook and Lee Sun-hee has also enriched the personnel of the department.
The current music department has always been in charge of Zheng Zaiqing, although there is no big operation, but it is foreseeable that if the album released by several people can become popular, this small music department will officially set sail.
And the trainee still has only one big disciple, Li Ji-eun, and he was thrown to SW to practice with Li Shunkui. In terms of actors, they only signed some child stars: Moon Geun-young, Shin Se-kyung, and Park Shin-hye, but with Moon Geun-young's popularity, everyone already agrees with the practice of mining child stars, because a book of profits is not enough to describe the value of an actor after becoming popular overnight.
And when every emerging force rises, it is inevitable to offend some people, Li Minzhe has also experienced ups and downs this year, if it weren't for being dragged to the Quanzhou crew at the end of the year, it is estimated that Li Minzhe is annoyed now.
The most obvious thing is that Lee Min-cheol's anti has reached an astonishing 20w, which is enough for ordinary people to make the other party quit the showbiz, but Lee Min-chul has been very nourished, which makes those fans very surprised.
And this year, Li Minzhe finally got together the legendary Nine Sisters, but no Shenlong appeared. Although there are some small accidents, except for Lee Soon-kyu, the other eight people have already practiced in SM, and Lee Min-chul has always been curious about how Lee Soon-kyu got to SM, knowing that Lee Soon-kyu can make his debut in SW.
Could it be that Park So-yeon wants to replace Lee Soon-kyu? And what about Tara? After thinking about it for a while, Li Minzhe had a headache, he could only try not to interfere in their affairs, just let their lives improve somewhat.
At least Lee Min-cheol booked a private room for them at the barbecue restaurant next to them, and it is normal to eat meat once a week and exchange feelings. And the girls, except for Kim Taeyeon and Jung so-yeon, are not very pleasing to each other, and everyone gets along very harmoniously.
And Lee Min-cheol has more or less taken the girls to show their faces on various occasions this year, which is already a great help for the trainees who have not yet debuted, at least if there are still some people squeezed in among the girls in the future, there is no competitiveness at all.
However, everything is developing very smoothly, and Lee Min-chul has almost no time to rest throughout the year. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Minzhe works 360 days a year, not because he doesn't want to rest, but when you reach that level, all the people around you will force you soon.
