Because of what happened yesterday, many authors and book friends of Korean entertainment novels have been hit hard. The same goes for the tape, although I was as tired as a dog when I got home in the early morning, but I couldn't sleep at all while lying in bed, and I kept thinking about what happened when I was young, and the road after this novel.

For a moment, Tape thought of giving up.

Fortunately, I had a brief chat with a few book friends today, and the tape figured it out.

No matter what happens, those who like it will still like it, and those who don't like it will not care. What will happen to Jessica in the future, I don't know. But 9 in the novel. It's still the 9 that "will always be a girl's generation".

Reality is reality, fiction is fiction. The storage zài of Korean entertainment novels, except for YY, is not used to make up for regrets. Since the youth in reality has given us such a big regret, let's let the novel complete the sentence "It's always a girl's generation".

The heroine of this book, Jessica, is not too eunuch and will not change her style. above

In the eyes of some senior insiders, if an artist wants to become popular, there are only two ways to get through.

One is to rely on the slow accumulation of strength. The strength of the artists themselves is the foundation, and the planning and promotion of the team behind them is the key. This method of becoming popular is safe and stable, as long as the artist himself does not have any heavy dà difference during this period, it can basically be successful.

For example, TVXQ, which debuted in 03. Because of the collective job hopping of their predecessors mythical group, the SM company at that time urgently needed a new boy group to provoke the company's pillars, so. In just half a year. TVXQ has become a super group that has swept the music world.

The strength of TVXQ members is good. However, the members of the myth that also comes from SM are not necessarily worse than them, and they are much more experienced than them. It can be seen from this that they can create the status of the hegemon of the men's team in just half a year, and the operation behind the company is the key.

Of course, this method of exploding popularity, although literally, is simple and effective. But it's even harder to get that much support. The company is not a charity hall, those people are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, the company has given so much resource support to the artist, and naturally it will get corresponding rewards from the artist.

Let's use Dongfang God to say, as the No. 1 group in Korea, none of the members who have debuted for four years have a lot of money. Buying a house in Seoul is not an easy task, and that's probably the price they pay for fame.

In contrast, the second way to become popular does not have so many harsh restrictions and requirements. Because of this red method. It's random, whether you're a popular idol or a grassroots actor. It's possible to touch it. Before it happens, no one can foresee it, and no one can control it, and this way of becoming popular is the advent of luck.

In the entertainment industry, overnight success is not a miracle, even in a small country like South Korea, basically every year or two, there will be such and such an example.

For example, Lee Joon-gi in 05. A low-cost ancient court drama "The King's Man" directly created the story of his overnight success.

At the same time, "The King's Man" also set a record for the first small-budget film in the history of Korean cinema to exceed 10 million viewers.

From these two points, this movie must have a wonderful plot, or the quality of the production is extremely high. But in fact, almost every audience who comes out of the cinema can casually pick out a lot of things in the plot that are worth complaining about or criticizing. And the production of the movie is not brilliant.

But it is such a movie that in the director's opinion, as long as the movie does not lose money, it will win, and it has inexplicably earned more than 10 million moviegoers at the box office. There is no way to explain this at all.

But it is undeniable that it is such a second-rate movie that is only second-rate in terms of plot and production that made Lee Joon-gi and made him suddenly jump from a so-called second-tier actor to a popular star.

It's called luck. A lot of times, it comes quietly in inexplicable places, and then suddenly it goes viral when people think it's the least likely to go viral. There will be no time to prepare.

Of course, there is no clear boundary between the so-called two ways, and many times, many people's popularity occurs at the same time, but the emphasis is not the same.

Lee Jun-hyuk's sudden popularity this time should be biased towards luck.

In fact, as early as a year ago, when Lee Jun-hyuk replaced Jung Woo-sung for the role of a good guy in "Good Guy, Bad Guy, Weird Guy", in addition to Lee Byung-hun's positive attitude towards this, other friends in the circle who were good friends with Lee Jun-hyuk were actually not very optimistic about Lee Jun-hyuk's decision, especially Luo Hongzhen, who talked to him very strictly after knowing that Lee Jun-hyuk took over the role.

Na Hongzhen's analysis is not good news for Lee Jun-hyuk. Because he feels that the three main characters in the movie "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" are definitely not a good stage for newcomers.

Just look at the team Kim Ji-yun was looking for at the beginning, Song Kang-ho, a national actor. With an ordinary appearance, he forcibly ascended to the so-called highest throne. Lee Byung-hun, the first actor in South Korea to land in Hollywood, is the only actor in South Korea who can compete with Song Kang-ho. Zheng Yucheng, a top actor in South Korea, although the previous two are one line apart, but because of his handsome appearance, he has the largest number of fixed fans among the three.

If nothing else, just put these three together, and the box office of the movie is guaranteed.

But when Zheng Yucheng was seriously injured and quit the crew, the big triangle collapsed, and if he wanted to find someone to replace him, it was inevitable that the audience would compare it with Zheng Yucheng.

Therefore, Jin Zhiyun scratched his head when Zheng Yucheng had no choice but to quit. Because he simply can't find a suitable replacement. The first-line actors either don't match the role, or they don't have a schedule, anyway, after receiving Jin Zhiyun's invitation, they shirked it with similar reasons. The second-tier actors were eager to try, but without exception, after they mentioned this matter to the company, they were immediately pressed.

Why did things come to this, could it be that Jin Zhiyun offended someone?

Of course not. For actors, such a big production zuò and can cooperate with top superstars, it is really a good opportunity that you can't ask for, if Jin Zhiyun's drama invited one of these people at the beginning, then no matter who you ask, you will get an answer that you agree without thinking about it, but after having Zheng Yucheng, things have become delicate.

In the entire circle of movie actors, although Zheng Yucheng is not a top superstar, he is also a first-line leader, to put it mildly, except for a few superstars such as Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun, and Zhang Dongjian, Zheng Yu-sung can be ranked in the top 10 at least among male actors.

Therefore, at this time, whoever takes his position means that in addition to playing opposite roles with Song Kang-ho and Lee Byung-hun, he must also be invisibly compared with Zheng Yucheng by the audience.

starred in rivalry with Song Kang-ho and Lee Byung-hun, not to mention these actors who were just first-line, or second-tier, even Zheng Yucheng himself, who was not absolutely sure that he would not be suppressed in his aura.

So if anyone takes over this role, and then is really suppressed during the filming, after the release, they will compare it with Zheng Yucheng...... It is conceivable that basically this person will not have much development in the future.

Therefore, this "good guy" suddenly became a hot potato. Although it is still a good thing that makes people blush, this good thing has been coated with poison, and whoever touches it will die.

It is precisely in this way that Lee Jun-hyuk got this opportunity under the recommendation of Lee Byung-hun.

Some people may ask, isn't Lee Byung-hun Lee Jun-hyuk's eldest brother, knowing that this role is a hot potato now, why do you want to help Lee Jun-hyuk get this role, isn't it harmful to him?

Of course it won't be like this, Lee Byung-hun had thought about it fully before recommending Lee Jun-hyuk, and then he was angry with Song Kang-ho before mentioning it to Kim Ji-yun. To put it simply, he felt confident that he told Lee Jun-hyuk about it.

Before proposing to let Lee Jun-hyuk take over the role, Lee Byung-hun introduced Lee Jun-hyuk's situation to Song Kang-ho and Kim Ji-yun in detail. His mention is very interesting, that is, although Lee Jun Hyuk has great potential, he is a newcomer no matter what, and it is impossible for him to reach the top level in a short period of time, but if Song Kang Ho and Lee Byung Hun can cooperate with Lee Jun Hyuk in the filming and take him away, then the problem of the so-called aura can still be solved. At least what is presented in the film will still be a triangle. Therefore, the matter of aura suppression can be regarded as solved.

The rest is that the audience compares him with Zheng Yucheng.

Regarding this, Lee Byung-hun is even less worried, Lee Jun-hyuk's skills, he can't be more clear, maybe in terms of popularity and qualifications, Lee Jun-hyuk at this stage can't be compared with Jung Woo-sung, but in action scenes, Lee Jun-hyuk can throw off the other party's N streets.

To put it mildly, with Lee Jun-hyuk's skills, not to mention in South Korea, even in China, and in Hollywood, his skills are all super-first-class. You must know that the identity of Lee Jun-hyuk's SAS team captain is not for nothing.

In this way, Lee Jun Hyuk got the role smoothly, and then in the process of filming, he made progress at a rocket-like speed, giving the entire crew a surprise. Then on the screen half a year later, it gave all the audience a huge surprise...... (To be continued......)
