Chapter 657: Evading Military Service

The show is in a critical period, and no matter if you let it go or not, no one will have a good face.

So PD Jang Hyuk-jae slapped the table on the spot and shouted: "Anyway, there is a contract, you can't leave anyway, don't think that the birth of our family is easy to bully, just leave if you want." ”

He's also a smart guy, not to mention how poisonous he says.

The point is not that there is a contract, if the contract is really that binding, then there is no concept of breach of contract.

No one will think that Hee Sung can't afford to pay liquidated damages, even if the liquidated damages for the show Birth of a Family are very high.

The point is that Lee Hyuk-jae pulled out the collective of the birth of the family, do you think that we are all so fooled, and all of a sudden it made Hee Sung speechless.

Hee-sung has very good connections in the entertainment industry, but no matter how good he is, he will not give up these friends in front of him, not to mention anything else, Liu Jae-seok, Lee Hyo-ri, and Kim Jong-kook are his best friends.

If these friends really don't want Hee Sung to quit the show, he really has to think about it carefully.

It's a big deal to make one less TV series, he is now a TV emperor, if he doesn't really like to make movies, he doesn't need to invest too much energy in TV series.

Hee Sung had no choice but to re-say the reasons for quitting that he told Liu Zaishi yesterday.

"Wow, why are there so many things," Lee Hyo-ri was very amazed, and looked at Hee-sung's gaze and began to feel a little guilty.

She originally thought that Xicheng's withdrawal was mainly because he felt too tired and wanted to be lazy, but she didn't expect this guy who was very lazy in his previous impression to be so desperate to do things now.

She has also acted in TV series, and when she was in "Clover", she experienced how hard it is for actors to catch up with the show, get up early and be greedy for darkness, no matter how windy or rainy, as long as the director gives an order, the sword mountain and the sea of fire must also be on.

So she rarely took on TV series after filming "Clover".

Lee Hyori is a more focused person. So she concentrated on the development of music and variety shows, and only developed in South Korea, and she didn't even go abroad to make money.

On the contrary, he not only develops in South Korea, but also has eyeing Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, and the European and American markets. Not to mention, he is involved in the fields of creation, singer, actor, host, variety show, production and so on......

What people often say about amphibious and amphibious artists, in fact, compared with Xicheng, they are all weak.

The most important thing is that Xicheng has done a good job in any aspect.

Creatively. Now those creators in South Korea, do they dare to pat their chests and say that they are better than Hee Sung.

In terms of singers, as long as Hee-sung's album is released, the entire Korean music scene will be in turmoil, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is mournful, when he released the album, almost no one dares to release an album together now.

As for the host, Hee Sung is now the regular host of "China and South Korea Song Club", music programs like "Popular Songs" and "Music Bank". He was also invited to be the host more than once.

Not to mention variety shows, in the eyes of insiders, Xicheng is the most talented variety show planner at the moment, and his appearance in "The Birth of a Family" is very eye-catching. Jiang Hudong of "Two Days and One Night" wanted to bring him closer to that show more than once.

And making zuò, this may be a business that he has only recently made a high profile, saying that he wants to make an album for girls' generation, in fact. His experience in making zuò is not thin, and most of his previous albums have his own participation.

Such a person. No one can say that he is lazy.

"Seniors, you can't do this, don't go," this is Dacheng, although the show also began to slowly speak in plain language, but in private, most of them respectfully called seniors.

"Hee-sung, if you leave, we will ignore you in the future," this is Park Ye-jin.

Others also spoke, but in the final analysis, they didn't let Hee Sung go.

"These are not any reasons," Lee Hyuk-jae said confidently: "I know you're busy, but if you're busy, you can push off "The Birth of a Family"? ”

"I know that I am a little unkind like this," Xi Cheng knew that everyone would oppose it, but he didn't expect the opposition to be so fierce, he was a little overwhelmed, "Isn't this a discussion, and he didn't say that he would leave immediately." ”

"Then don't go," Liu Zaishi said: "Although our ratings are very good now, you can guarantee that the ratings will not decline after leaving, not to mention that we are still in the initial stage, and there is still some room for growth." ”

The birth of the family was only filmed ten times and broadcast eighteen episodes, which can be said to be a new variety show, as Liu Zaishi said, it is a critical moment.

"Otherwise, then I'll try to push off the TV series."

This sacrifice is big, Xicheng is the most bright spot in the family, but in the TV series, it is definitely the focus, the popularity gained is not a level at all, and the money-making gap is even bigger, and the salary of Xicheng's TV series is simply comparable to the appearance fee of the family for one year after its birth.

Actually, the TV series has already been told by the director to star in it, but who made Hades the funder, even if the director is unhappy, it is estimated that he can only endure it.

"There's no need," Jang Hyuk-jae didn't want to hinder Hee-sung's development, so he proposed a compromise solution, "Our show can match your time as much as possible, if it's really too busy, you can participate in the first day of filming, and then rush back to film overnight, and the next day's show allows you to be absent." ”

According to what he meant, "The Birth of the Family" provides Xicheng with two conveniences, one is to cooperate with his time, which is a treatment that only big-name artists have, and for now, none of the family members have this qualification.

The other is that Hee Sung can only play half of the role.

Those who are familiar with the program of the birth of the family can find that in fact, most of the highlights of the birth of the family are concentrated in the ranking battle before the day before and until the night before going to bed, and the next day, although there is no shortage of family concerts like this issue, but in general, the role is much lighter.

Hee Sung participated in the show on his first day, and after the qualifying battle, he left in the car to go to the crew to participate in filming, and he could rest in the nanny car on the way.

In this way, Xicheng spends two days a month on variety shows.

Of course, this is just a situation where he is too busy, and he still has to participate in the show normally under normal circumstances.

The other family members didn't have much of a problem with PD's compromise plan, although everyone was envious of Hee-sung's privileges.

In this way, Hee Sung doesn't have to push off next year's TV series. can continue to participate in the "Birth of a Family" program, and everyone is happy, except for Xicheng, who may work a little.

After finishing the filming of this episode of the birth of the family, Hee-sung immediately participated in the Seoul International Television Festival.

Korean dramas are one of the fastest-growing cultural content in South Korea, almost single-handedly driving the cold snap that swept across Asia.

This is the third year, and the name has been changed from the original "Seoul TV Drama Awards" to "Seoul International TV Festival", which is more international and professional.

Under the slogan "Enjoy, Star & Story," this year's Seoul TV Drama Festival showcased 152 dramas from 33 countries in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

This year's awards ceremony kicked off in Seoul, in addition to inviting Korean stars such as Chae Lin, Kim Dongwan, Nam Sang-mi, Oh Man-seok, Yoo Ha-na, and Lee Jin-wook as award presenters. Taiwanese idol stars Zheng Yuanchang and Li Wei also came to the scene as award guests.

The Chinese TV series "No Name of Heroes" was nominated for five awards, and finally won two awards: "Best Long-Form TV Series" and "Best Art".

DvirBenDak from Israel won the Best Actor award.

In terms of Best Actress, Yoon Eun-hye, who had signed in to Hades, lost to Ha Ji Won, while Best Actor was unsurprisingly taken away by Hee Sung, and his opponents were Lee Joon-gi and Kong Yoo.

The TV series "Time of the Dog and the Wolf" won the Popular TV Drama Award, and the two leading actors of the show, Lee Joon-gi and Nam Sang-mi, also won the Best Popularity Award by an absolute margin in the online voting.

This is the case because "The Secret Garden" and "Coffee Prince No. 1" were not nominated for the Best Popularity award.

From the end of last year to become the emperor of SBS TV with "The Secret Garden", he still became the best actor with this TV series. This TV series can be said to have completely achieved Hee-sung.

After entering November, South Korea's top boy group finally released their regular second album, and with the super popularity brought by "Lies", they finally withstood the heavy pressure brought by Wondergirls.

The Korean music scene presents a situation where groups are dominant. Even the recently debuted 2PM group is very active, although it is a storage zài that serves as a foil to bigbang and wondergirls in every occasion.

In addition to BIGBANG's album release in November, there was another thing that stunned the entire Korean entertainment industry.

The Jingxiang News wrote in bold headline: In order to evade military service, Lee Seung Gi became an American citizen. Let's talk about the artist's sense of responsibility and public image. The article reported that Lee Seung-gi, a South Korean artist who entered the European and American markets this year and achieved great success, privately gave up his Korean nationality and joined the United States.

Lee Seung Gi released a mini album in the United States with very good results. Described as a "soulful" Asian singer by the Washington Daily, it is believed that he can even replace Hee Sung in Europe and the United States.

And Lee Seung Gi also lived up to expectations, and his album title song "Rightround" quickly appeared on the Billboard singles chart, and has a good ranking on the music charts of many countries in Europe and the United States.

Many media in South Korea praised this young and promising singer, and believed that from the examples of Hee Sung and Lee Seung Gi, it can be seen that Korean singers have the potential to enter the European and American markets, and some media even called Lee Seung Gi, who gave up his career in South Korea in full swing in order to open up the European and American markets, a "national hero".

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived.

Before the ink of the article singing praises was dry, Jingxiang News broke out such a powerful news.

Presumably, the media that said Lee Seung-gi was a national hero must have vomited blood, because he was no longer Korean when he reported it.

That is, in September, when everyone was watching the chaos of the S&M family, this handsome young man who had already gained a foothold in the European and American markets turned into an American.

Later, I didn't know how the news came back to China, so there was a report from Jingxiang News.

Now that military service has become a topic of concern in the entertainment industry in recent years, Lee Seung-gi's behavior has undoubtedly become the target of public criticism, and it is difficult to understand.

Don't you see that Mr. Yoo Seung-jun has been difficult to set foot on South Korea so far?

Lee Seung Gi's agency in South Korea, Hades, issued a statement saying that although Mr. Lee Seung Ki has terminated the contract with the company, please look at his behavior rationally, and Lee Seung Gi's company in the United States explained that Lee Seung Gi's change of nationality was not to evade military service, he was still early from military service, there was no need to take such extreme measures, he was just to be able to operate in the United States more conveniently.

Not to mention that the public could not accept this explanation, even the Military Service Agency felt that it had been fooled.

What does it mean that it is still early, and it is better to change nationality for the sake of military service?

The media condemned Lee, the public was unanimous in invective, and two small demonstrations broke out in the city, with about 2,000 students and people from all walks of life gathering in the square outside the Seoul city hall and repeatedly chanting slogans to protest the inaction of the authorities.

Experts say the specific reason may be that most of the artists participated in the military service in accordance with the regulations, and Lee Seung-gi's behavior has made the fans of those artists unbalanced.

There are also people in the entertainment industry who are interviewed by the media. There are even many artists who said that they used to think others were very good, but they didn't expect him to do such a thing.

Among them, Jiang Hudong, the host of "Two Days and One Night" and national MC, said in an interview with the media: "Although everyone has the right to choose freely, we must stick to our bottom line, and as artists, we must not hurt the feelings of the public......"

When asked about the relationship between the two, he said in a low voice that he had planned to train Lee Seung Gi as his successor.

In mid-November, the Military Service Agency issued a notice to Lee Seung-gi asking him to return to Japan to make a statement, but Lee Seung-gi's agent refused on the grounds that he was too busy, and the Justice Office immediately announced that it had made a decision to prohibit Lee from entering the country in accordance with the provisions of the Immigration Control Act, which states that "a person may be prohibited from entering the country when he or she is likely to endanger the interests of the Republic of Korea or the public safety."

This is the second time that South Korea has banned artists from entering the country because of military service.

November was basically the month of November, when even the showdown between Bigbang and Wondergirls was overshadowed.
