Chapter 417: Balance Point
After sending a group of little loli back to the company's dormitory and sending Jung so-yeon home, Lee Chung-hee returned to the meeting place of old friends.
It's almost over, everyone is still talking, drinking, eating snacks or barbecue, and having fun.
"American Idol is very popular right now!"
Park Dongzan smiled and said to him: "MBC is in contact with us again, saying if we can also make a similar show together!" ”
"You can make a plan and try it!"
Li Zhengxi nodded with a smile, "After all, they are different cultures, how to get it, you may need to think carefully!" ”
American Idol has been officially broadcast on Fox TV since January this year, because the previous advertisements were very turbulent, coupled with Lee Chung-hee's name of "superstar builder", presumably the American idol before rebirth was very lively this year.
In the beginning, it attracted more than 15 million viewers, by February, there were already more than 20 million, just in April, more than 30 million, and the 18-49& audience was even more impressive, more than 15%.
With this alone, the advertising revenue that continues to be added has made Fox and Imperial Music a lot of money.
Of course, the influence quickly spread across the United States and then spread globally.
Compared to the United States, Korean culture is different, and there have been similar singing competitions in South Korea for a long time, and later there were programs like K-STAR
Therefore, if you want to do it, you need to plan it well.
At the same time, in South Korea, there is another benefit for Imperial Entertainment to do such a show. That is, not only can you choose good talents. You can also secretly push some of your own outstanding trainees.
Arguably. If it's well planned, it's going to be a good project.
However, in the end, Lee Chung-hee specially told Park Dongzan, "Don't rush to reach a consensus with MBC, no matter how good the conditions are, we are not in a hurry, we can wait for our own TV station to open before doing it!" ”
A good program. The copyright has continuity, and his income is even more long, and the result of selling it all at once is regret in the end.
For example, in "American Idol", Lee Chung-hee did not sign for many seasons at once, and in the current situation of popularity, it is Fox TV that regrets it.
Predictably, in each subsequent season, they will have to pay at least 50 percent more, which is a lot of money.
But. Can they say yes, NBC. CBS and ABC are all looking at it!
Friends gather, the content of the chat is very casual, and there are serious things, but more are trivial things in life, interesting things.
Zhang Xizhen went to see Ha Ji Won a few days ago, and asked casually at this time: "How is Ji Won, she said it was very annoying a while ago?" ”
"It's good now!"
Lee Chung-hee shrugged, "Isn't it said that pregnant women's feelings are not very stable, you should have a deep understanding,"
also winked at Zhang Dongguo and joked: "I've seen a lot from Brother Dongguo!" ”
Zhang Dongguo raised his foot and kicked it, Zhang Xizhen was very generous, and smiled, "That's for sure, think about it, how hard it is for a woman to give birth to a guy with no conscience in October!" ”
As soon as he heard this, even if he knew that Jang Hee-jin was hurting him, Lee Chung-hee was speechless, mother, it was really great!
Everyone laughed too.
The night gradually deepened, and when it was almost two o'clock, everyone left one after another, after all, they were all busy.
Early the next morning, near the subway station entrance of Hongdae, the filming of "Harvard Love Story" continued.
Lee Chung-hee held the hot dumplings he had just bought in his hand and got out of the car while eating.
The surroundings were already full of people, and when they saw him come down, the scream was really terrifying, and the confession of love was also endless.
Li Zhengxi greeted everyone with a smile, and walked to the side, feeding a beautiful little girl who was only five or six years old and ate dumplings, which caused the scene to be even more chaotic.
However, no matter how chaotic it is, it will be fine when it comes to filming, and Lee Chung-hee is not worried.
Kim Tae-hee also came with him, but his popularity was very limited, so he didn't come down at all, and directly asked people to put on makeup and style in the car.
After a while, Won Bin also came, and then Kim Ha Na, which was even more lively, but as soon as they came, put on makeup, and changed clothes, they could start shooting.
As an urban drama, styling is relatively easy and fast.
The first scene is a scene where Lee Chung-hee and Kim Ha-na meet Kim Tae-hee who came out of the subway entrance, and then, Won Bin just drove by, causing a dispute.
Kim Ha Na plays Lee Chung-hee's colleague and has a good impression of him, Kim Tae-hee misunderstood, and Lee Chung-hee is not good at explaining.
And Won Bin thought that Lee Chung-hee was pestering Kim Tae-hee...... In short, the fierce conflict caused by various elements further stimulates the contradictions.
In South Korea, Yoon Seok-ho is in charge, David Warren is demoted to a position to supervise, and Lee Chung-hee is the last reviewer.
"All ready, action!"
With Yin Xihu's instructions, after the police and security guards separated the crowd from a distance, everyone in the crew quickly moved and started filming.
This is the subway entrance, although I avoided the time to go to work, but there are a lot of people, and the difficulty of shooting is naturally not small, and everyone hopes to pass one.
Lee Chung-hee was wearing black slacks, a white shirt, and an office worker's outfit, next to Kim Ha-na, who was wearing a light green skirt, and the two passed by the subway talking and laughing.
Kim Tae-hee just came out of the subway station, and she has changed from a Harvard student outfit to an urban woman's outfit, but some old-fashioned outfits make her look not outstanding, a bit like Cinderella.
"Lady?"
Lee Chung-hee was stunned for a moment when he suddenly met Lee Shu-in played by Kim Tae-hee, stood and watched Kim Tae-hee take two steps before reacting, and then shouted with uncertainty in surprise.
Kim Tae-hee also noticed Kim Hyun-woo played by Lee Chung-hee, and after being stunned for a while, a smile bloomed on his face. "Kim Hyun-woo. Why are you here? ”
The next moment. When she saw Kim Ha Na next to Lee Chung-hee, her face was slightly stiff.
Li Zhengxi didn't notice it, but continued to say enthusiastically: "I'm working in front of here, what about you, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?" ”
As he spoke, he leaned forward, but Kim Ha Na followed at this time. After glancing at Kim Tae-hee vigilantly, he quietly pulled the hem of Lee Chung-hee's T-shirt.
Kim Tae-hee also saw this, so instead of being enthusiastic, he quietly took a step back and avoided Lee Chung-hee.
However, Lee Chung-hee still didn't notice it, but warmly invited Kim Tae-hee to a café next to him for a drink.
However, with Kim Ha Na present, Kim Tae-hee did not agree. And at this time, Yuan Bin, who came by car, happened to see this scene. Immediately furious, the car rushed over as soon as it stopped.
“CUT!”
In the previous encounter, everyone was very good, but in the back, when they were arguing, whether it was their expressions or actions, everyone began to deform.
So, not long after Yin Xihu started filming, he stopped after filming a rough situation so that everyone could see his performance.
"The unnatural in the back!"
After Lee Chung-hee and the others gathered, Yoon Seok-ho and David Warren exchanged a few words, and while showing them it, he said, "The front one is great, with the most natural and smooth rhythm and beauty, but the dispute between you and you is a little too strong, and you didn't let go of ......." ”
David Warren also said at this time: "Maybe you are friends in private, and you can naturally reveal the picture of your encounter, but for disputes, you subconsciously avoid them, but what we want is natural and true, and it is also the tone set by Dr. Li from the beginning, so everyone should show that kind of ruthlessness." ”
also glanced at Yuan Bin with a smile, "Punch him hard, if you really hit it, then the ratings must be very high!" ”
Everyone laughed, and Yuan Bin also smiled and gave Lee Chung-hee a shoulder, "That's right, I would have beaten you a long time ago, but I couldn't beat you, and now I can't let go of this opportunity!" ”
A natural performance will give people a smooth and unhindered feeling, that is, the rhythm is bright, and it will also enhance the enjoyment of watching.
And the natural surface will also be better integrated into the surrounding scenery, so that the two kinds of beauty will be added together, so that the visual enjoyment will be doubled.
The reason why Lee Chung-hee asked these old acquaintances to shoot was because he thought that everyone was very familiar with each other, and there would be better chemistry, and when performing, he would give a more natural and good correspondence.
Even quite a few times it is much better than the script.
This is what Lee Chung-hee has always emphasized and insisted on, and the effect of shooting is even more satisfying.
That undoubtedly proved him right.
"Well, let's try again!"
Lee Chung-hee said to Yoon Seok-hu while communicating with Won Bin and them, "I haven't fought, I've quarreled, I've never quarreled, I must have been angry, right, everyone is looking for the feeling in the plot!" ”
Everyone smiled and discussed, because Lee Chung-hee did not pursue the speed of shooting, and all the episodes were broadcast after filming, so the shooting schedule was very relaxed.
In addition, they are all old acquaintances, the atmosphere is harmonious, and the work is even more comfortable.
After a while, everyone continued, first auditioning, and slowly finding the right feeling before starting.
In this way, it will be much smoother, and even if there is an occasional screaming and disturbance from the audience next to you, you can control it.
After filming here, the next thing is the scene of Lee Chung-hee and Kim Tae-hee, the two strolled on the side of the road, and then entered the café and got along sweetly.
The story of "Harvard Love Story" is complex in structure, but it is clear and straightforward.
Moreover, although there are many professional Wall Street finances in the plot, as well as knowledge of medicine and environmental protection, the final landing point is on family and love.
Quite simply, whether in South Korea or the United States, it is housewives who watch TV the most, and they determine the ratings.
And the things they like to watch are simple and relatively ordinary things, too complicated and brain-burning, which is another viewer.
Of course, Lee Chung-hee has great ambitions, so he will try his best to find a balance between them! (To be continued......)
