Chapter 300: Modify the ending
"Are you tired? Or you can sleep for a while, and there are still a few hours before you get to Gimpo Airport. ,!” Song Hye Kyo looked at Feng Zixi sitting next to her with a heartache on her face, they had just finished the premiere promotional ceremony of "Full House of Romance" on TV Seventh in Bangkok, Thailand, and they didn't even have time to rest, so they got on a plane here and rushed back to South Korea.
In the last street small plane chase battle of [Hancheng Raiders], the shooting was really a bit thrilling. Feng Zixi and Tony Leung did not use stand-ins, and the two South Korean actors performed in person. Although the speed of small planes is not fast, there are still many dangers.
Before the start of filming, director Ma Chucheng and the action director asked the four of them to rehearse all the fighting actions on the plane, and even the time and location of falling out of the plane had to be calculated accurately, otherwise they would rather pause and start again. This is a moving plane, and if the timing is not right, not only will the actors be injured, but they will even hang on the plane because of the wrong position, causing unpredictable dangers, so the director has always wanted them to use stuntmen.
Small planes are slow, about the same as a bicycle would normally travel. The four actors fought in the small cabin space, fists and feet, so exciting. Not only did the citizens of Seoul who came to watch it break out in a cold sweat, but even the reporters from South Korea who came to interview were the first time to see a big-name actor like Tony Leung, who didn't have to act in dangerous scenes without a stand-in, which had to make them sigh at the desperate spirit of Hong Kong actors in this regard.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government will not be able to close the road for too long, as it will affect the normal operation of traffic. After the rush hour for work and school in the morning, road closures were allowed for an hour, beyond which the crew had to apply for another application and wait for permission to film.
Fortunately, the four actors had rehearsed many times in advance, and after Ma Chucheng and Zeng Zhiwei watched it, they were allowed to shoot in person. Before the start of filming, Tony Leung took the initiative to ask for a series of rehearsals in order to keep improving, and every punch, every kick, and the part hit must be accurate. Because this scene can't afford to consume, especially time, it won't allow them to have multiple NG opportunities.
After filming [Hancheng Raiders], Feng Zixi's work on the film is completed, as for the premiere of the film in Hong Kong, Feng Zixi will definitely not be able to attend, at that time he has already entered the military camp training, and he can't come out casually. So Zeng Zhiwei asked Feng Zixi to shoot a short video to use as publicity at the premiere, and Feng Zixi readily agreed.
After finishing the movie, the TV series is also preparing to shoot the last few episodes. But before filming, the writer had to revise the script for the ending.
The thing still comes from the fact that [Love at Harvard] has excellent ratings, and it is the ratings champion of the three major TV stations in the same period. According to South Korea's national tns ratings, the ratings of [Love at Harvard] have exceeded 25%, which is the national ratings statistics of South Korea, not the Seoul area, which means that at the same time, nearly 10 million people in the Republic of Korea are watching this TV series. What terrible data is 10 million people? That's more than 50% of the ratings in the Seoul area.
After the news of Feng Zixi's enlistment in the army, the ratings skyrocketed again, and it is possible to break through 30% of the country, or even hit 40%. After all, the TV series is only playing to the tenth episode, and the climax has already begun, and as the plot deepens, it will attract more viewers to watch.
In the play, the love story of Kim Hyun-woo played by Feng Zi-hee and Lee so-in played by Kim Tae-hee has deeply attracted many Korean audiences. Especially the wonderful dialogue between them, as well as the kisses in various forms, are talked about on the Internet.
Rugby's touchdown kiss was voted the most heartwarming kiss. The shy kiss in the bathroom, which was rated as the sweetest kiss. In addition, after successfully defending Xiuyin, the kiss that confessed to her was rated as the most irresistible kiss of a woman. Through the car window, he wrote: "Angel, my angel, my angel who shines like the sun, if you break the angel's wings, it will not work to keep the angel, fly my angel!" If you're tired, come to me and rest, I love you! After this paragraph, they kissed through the window and were selected by netizens as the sexiest and most sentimental kiss. The last episode is the tenth episode that has just been broadcast, and the sudden kiss between the two during the snapshot shooting was selected as the most heartfelt kiss. All kinds of kisses represent the unswerving, eternal love of the hero and heroine in the TV series.
The audience hopes that the love between the two will eventually blossom and bear fruit, after all, love is hard-won and needs to be guarded and cherished for a lifetime. But at this time, on the Internet and in the newspapers, there were reports revealing the ending of "Love at Harvard". At the end of the story, Kim Hyun-woo sent Jason to prison for the sake of justice, but Lee so-in was not treated because of this. When Kim Hyun-woo walked out of the courtroom with a victorious smile and rushed to the hospital to tell his wife the good news, what he saw was Lee so-in's cold body after his death, and Kim Hyun-woo hugged his wife's body and left tears of remorse.
When this ending was reported, it immediately caused a big wave in Xuanyuan, and the last thing he wanted was the fans who had been chasing the aunt and Zixi who had been watching. Lovers can't end up married, is it necessary to choose the same between justice and love? For what kind of good people are not rewarded? Xianyu and Xiuyin have gone through so much, why do they want to let them be separated forever?
According to a survey conducted by Chosun Ilbo on the streets of citizens who watch "Love at Harvard", more than 80 percent of them do not want to see this sad ending, and 90 percent hope that the two can get married and have children. Less than 10 percent said it "doesn't matter".
If you say that the aunt and uncle on the street are biased, but since the ending was leaked, there has been an endless stream of inquiry calls to SBS TV, asking if the news on the Internet and in the newspaper is true. Some excited fans actually scolded the writer for breaking his brain, how could he let Xianyu and Xiuyin be separated? also threatened that if this ending is filmed, I will no longer watch SBS TV dramas in the future.
The same is true on the Internet, with film reviews and questioning posts constantly appearing. This has caused delays and congestion on SBS's website. The words of these posts are not good, and in the end they are threats and threats, and if SBS TV does not change the ending, they will stop watching.
This result was greatly unexpected by SBS TV, because most Korean dramas end in pathos. It's like [Stairway to Heaven] starring Zixi and Choi Ji-woo before, isn't that it? The ratings at that time made the show a "national TV series". Why did you change a heroine now, and the reaction would be so big?
The outline of the script was written by Zixi's father himself, although the worst ending was not written, and the writer just ended it in the same way as before, but SBS TV never expected so much criticism, which really caught SBS TV off guard. But this is not something they can modify casually, after all, the original creator of the story did not nod, and if the TV ** modified itself, it might be summoned by law. Although the original author is Zixi's father, because of this kind of strong figure, the major shareholder of SBS TV is Zixi's mother, which makes them dare not advocate without permission.
After getting in touch and getting recognized, SBS TV immediately asked the writer to revise the last few episodes, Lee so-in and Kim Hyun-yu can walk into the wedding hall hand in hand, although there were a little setbacks and difficulties during the period, but the two stick to their love for each other, and the ending will be based on conforming to public opinion, becoming a "happy ending".
Because of such a revision, Zixi, who was promoting in the Philippines, received a notice that he needed to rush back to South Korea and re-shoot the revised plot, otherwise he might not be able to finish filming the finale before Feng Zixi joined the army, and then SBS TV station would be in big trouble.
Zixi and Song Hye Kyo, who are promoted in Taiwan, Manila and Thailand, are sought after and cheered by thousands of fans. From the moment they walked out of the airport, the shouting of their names never stopped. On the way to the hotel, fans escorted them all the way and waited all night outside the hotel. On the TV station, the shouts of the fans who surrounded the TV station could even be heard clearly by Feng Zixi and Song Hye Kyo, who were recording.
Zixi's publicity in the three places, the gifts received are said to be loaded with a truck, and even the greeting cards, the organizer said that there are more than 10,000 of them, most of which are Zixi's fans who hope that Zixi will take care of her body during her military service and return to the camera as soon as possible.
Feng Zixi is really moved, fans in Southeast Asia are the regions most affected by the Korean Wave. Fans here have a preference for Korean celebrities, and in order to move their idols, they have long started to make handicrafts with local characteristics, hoping to give them to their idols to express their gratitude.
In the Philippines, Zixi received more than a dozen fans hand-made, a "Baron Ta Galu" embroidered with his and Song Hye Kyo's heads
Shirt. The "balontagarh" shirt, which was promoted as the national dress of Filipino men, has been a formal dress for diplomatics, celebrations and banquets for decades. And this shirt is made especially for Zixi by more than a dozen female fans of Zixi, using their free time.
Song Hye Kyo also received a round-necked short-sleeved dress called "Terno", which is also the national dress of Filipino women. But this is just an ordinary style, which is more popular. There is a fundamental difference from Zixi's all-handmade work, and it can also be seen that Zixi is popular in the local area.
In Thailand, Zixi and Song Hye Kyo received a large piece of embroidery, which was also handmade, which not only embroidered the 'Asian elephant', a representative animal of Thailand, but also the national flower 'Golden Chain Flower' and the national landmark 'Thai Pavilion'. These three all represent Thailand, and they also represent the love of Thai fans for Zixi.
But no matter how enthusiastic the Thai fans are, Feng Zixi can't continue to stay. He was running out of time, and he had to rush back to South Korea, get all the work done, and go into the camp to train without worry, and put on a show for three months. And Cousin Monson has also informed Feng Zixi that the US Forces Command in South Korea, in conjunction with the South Korean military, will issue a press release in the near future to explain the details of Zixi's enlistment. During the training, he was interviewed and photographed by Korean media and TV stations, which prepared Feng Zixi psychologically.
Since Taiwan, Song Hye Kyo has been accompanying Feng Zixi. But the two spend very little time alone together. Surrounded by either the KBS TV station personnel who followed, or the reception staff of the local TV station, or the fans and some local artists and stars who took the time to meet. Of course, Song Hye Kyo was not happy with this kind of busy work, and her wish to have a good time playing alone with Feng Zixi was disappointed. And I didn't have time to rest after I was busy, so I had to get on a plane and rush back to South Korea overnight. When it's almost dawn in South Korea, the time they can spend together will be over.
