Chapter 604: Aftermath
Four years later, the star of the world and the national actor Zixi finally returned to Korean film and television, together with director Kang Digyu, director Kim Kyu-tae, Kim Tae-hee, Kim So-yeon and others, co-starred in KBS TV KBS2 Channel 09 spy war masterpiece [IRIS]. This masterpiece with a total investment of more than 20 billion won not only has many powerful actors joining, filmed in many places in Asia, Europe and the United States, but also uses a large number of explosions, gunfights and fight scenes, which is very popular, and will definitely bring the audience a new visual enjoyment and an evocative story. --- KBS TV News.
"With a salary of 100 million won per episode, I invited Zixi, a Hollywood superstar, to participate in the filming of the TV series, as well as Kim Tae-hee, Kim So-yeon and Kim Seung-woo and many other powerful acting schools to join, a huge production team, a wide range of filming in various parts of the world, the expected hot scenes, wonderful fights, according to the shooting details announced by director Kim Kyu-tae, the shooting method of this TV series is not much different from shooting a movie. Let's not talk about how much money KBS TV and Thai Dollar Entertainment have invested in it, but I believe that with the name Zixi, I am afraid that advertisers and sponsors will flock to it, and the other is the broadcast rights sold, and the two companies will definitely make a lot of money because of this. Is 100 million won too cheap for a star in the world like Zixi, or is it true that the script is so attractive that it can make Zixi give up such a big benefit, just for a TV series that doesn't know the results? —JoongAng Daily.
"What will attract Zixi to return to Korean film and television production? Enough salary? NO。 The script, the director and the beauties are the three important factors that attract Zixi to return to Korean film and television production. Extending the news revealed by Zixi at the [IRIS] press conference yesterday, the script of [IRIS] was attracted to Zixi when she saw it for the first time. The wonderful story, the ups and downs of the plot, the interlocking plot, and the fascinating theme all made Zixi like [IRIS], a spy war-themed TV series. The most famous director of the Korean film industry, Kang Di-gyu, and the famous director Kim Kyu-tae in the TV industry, working with these two directors is the inner desire of countless actors. Kim Tae-hee, as the No. 1 beauty in South Korea and the queen of CF, has worked together with Zixi for the fourth time, can the two spark again? Because of these three factors, after four years, Zixi returned to the Korean screen and joined hands with many stars to create a heavyweight TV series. --- Dong-A Daily.
"100 million won per episode, the top star gets the top salary. Zixi got this salary, some people may think that it is a lot, surpassing countless senior actors. But compared to Zixi's worth and his income in Hollywood, the two billion won is a bit insignificant. According to a relevant source after the press conference, the shooting schedule of [IRIS] this time will be arranged around Zixi's schedule. In addition, KBS TV and Taewon Entertainment privately promised Zixi that there would be dividends for TV dramas with more than 30% of the ratings, which is the different treatment that superstars in the world can enjoy. For those actors who have been in the first and second lines for many years, I definitely can't think of it. But what happened to Zixi makes people feel reasonable. In the Korean film and television industry, when will there be more superstars like Zixi? --- Seoul News.
"It's hard to get out of the way, and it's even harder to return. People go to a high place, and the height at which Zixi stands is no longer a TV series produced by a Korean TV station, which can attract his attention and attention. But when everyone didn't believe it, Zixi returned to Korean film and television production, and joined hands with heavyweight directors and powerful actors to create a TV series comparable to film production. Is this Zixi's nostalgia, or does the script really have such a huge appeal? Or is there something hidden in it that we don't know about? I'm afraid that only Zixi himself can know this. --- Chosun Ilbo
On the second day of the press conference, almost all the headlines on the front pages of all large and small film and television pages were occupied by Zixi's participation in KBS TV's new drama [IRIS]. Without exception, they all have an attitude of looking forward to Zixi's return to Korean TV production after more than four years, and they also attach enough importance to Zixi's return to the Korean screen again.
In fact, the public had already learned the news as early as the news report of KBS and other major TV stations in the evening, and their first feeling was that they did not believe it, it was impossible. Later, through a variety of news on the Internet, I understood in detail and clearly, for Zixi to return to the filming of Korean film and television works again, the vast majority of Korean people almost without exception had a supportive attitude after the surprise.
South Koreans have a kind of fanatical admiration and support for celebrities who have gone out of their country, and Zixi's achievements in Hollywood have undoubtedly made more people have an inexplicable good impression of him, which is from the bottom of their hearts. was able to see Zixi return to Korean film and television production again, and the people praised his actions even more, because Zixi did not forget his roots. Now Zixi's popularity among the South Korean people, as well as the search for Internet keywords, is high in the rankings, higher than President Lee Myung-bak and Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
The more people and netizens care about Zixi, the more people who don't know much about Zixi in the first place want to understand him through the Internet and Zixi's works. [Twilight] is being screened in Asian countries, and the news of Zixi's return to Korean film and television production was announced, not only the box office of [Twilight] released in South Korea showed a blowout growth, but even the neighboring Japan, Chinese mainland and Southeast Asia have increased significantly. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, which have just begun to be released, there are fans queuing up all night to wait for movie tickets for the premiere, a phenomenon that has not happened again since [Titanic] more than ten years ago.
People are concerned about when the TV series will be filmed and when it will be broadcast, and even Japanese TV stations have flown over overnight to negotiate with KBS TV for the exclusive broadcast rights of [IRIS] in Japan.
At the same time, the public relations managers of Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors of South Korea called KBS TV almost at the same time, hoping that the cars used in [IRIS] could be used by their respective group brands. Samsung Electronics and LG Group also hope that the phones, computers and appliances used in the TV series can use their brands. In addition, there are various sponsors such as clothing, cosmetics, food, etc., which are also coming to the door. This kind of door-to-door benefit is very different from the previous directors and producers of the TV Production Bureau who came to the door to ask for sponsorship, which is the huge effect that Zixi can produce.
With the advent of sponsors, advertisers are equally unwilling to be lonely. These people who are mixed in the business world know very well that the economic benefits brought by Zixi are not something that can be summed up in a few words. Zixi's popularity in the hearts of the Korean people has included different ages, different genders and different classes. Although Zixi has rarely endorsed Korean products in recent years, the brands he once endorsed, there are still people who continue to use all kinds of products of the brand because Zixi used to be the spokesperson, which has to make people marvel at Zixi's influence among the people.
No one will miss the opportunity, and it is naturally best to be able to find Zixi to endorse the goods, but these have been monopolized by big brands and large companies, because they can afford the price, and small companies can only sigh at all. Because some people predict that Zixi's advertising endorsement is worth more than 2.5 billion won, which is more than 2 million US dollars! How many companies can afford this price?
The people care about the TV series that Zixi starred in, the business cares about how much benefit Zixi can bring to them by starring in the TV series this time, and the TV station cares about the ratings of the TV series, but some people just do the opposite, but what they care about is a small video edited out of some tabloid reports and the Internet, that is, Zixi threatened at the press conference that "Kim Tae-hee is his ideal type".
In the past, Zixi had scandals with many actresses, including Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Hollywood. But every time there is a scandal, even if Zixi takes a blind attitude towards the media, his Fanclub will come out to clarify, and it is strongly opposed, and the members of it have held many ideal voting elections in Zixi's heart in order to offset the impact of the scandal on his idol.
Coincidentally, in so many ideal votes, whether it is the official Fanclub or the votes held by some privately formed websites, Kim Tae-hee has topped the list in all previous votes, and the number of votes is far behind Song Hye Kyo, Son Ye-jin, Han Ga-in, Ha Ji Won and other women. Now Zi-hee claims to believe in the vision of Fans, saying that Kim Tae-hee is her ideal type, which makes Zi-hee's fans feel like they are beating their mouths and regretting it.
Some tabloid news is not as fast as the source of big newspapers, so they use it from some speculations on the Internet, and designate the script, director and beauty, the three important factors that attracted Zixi to return to South Korea, as Zixi because Kim Tae-hee made this decision.
From meeting director Kang Di-gyu and director Kim Kyu-tae, Zi-hee and Kim Tae-hee attended together, and the two have worked together many times, and they are the senior sisters and friends of Seoul National University, and Zi-hee has become the only spokesperson for Sweetwords invested by Kim Tae-hee and Han Chae-young, all kinds of information are brought together, and the relationship between the two must be very close.
A handsome man, a beautiful woman, and the two are a good match, and it is inevitable that sparks will be sparked in many cooperations. This time, Zi-hee threatens that Kim Tae-hee is his ideal type, doesn't it indicate that the relationship between the two is extraordinary? Is Zixi willing to give up more interests, give up the prospects of Hollywood, which is developing smoothly, and run back to South Korea for a TV series, is it just as simple as a script and director? I'm afraid that the last one is the most important reason and factor, right?
The tabloids and some statements on the Internet, the more they say, the more similar they become, the more they say, the more they are clear-headed, and even these tabloids believe the rumors they have edited.
Because they all listed the advertisements from Zixi's first debut with Kim Tae-hee, to the intimate scenes in their collaborations such as "Stairway to Heaven" and "Love at Harvard", the scandalous relationship between the two at that time, Kim Tae-hee had appeared many times in the candid photos of Zi-hee's apartment in the Westin Hotel Building in Nonhyeon Block, all of which showed evidence that Zi-hee and Kim Tae-hee were very close, far closer than friends.
Zixi is only 25 years old this year, very young, and most of the members of his Fanclub, as well as the "knights" who support him, are mainly under the age of 30, and most of them are white-collar women and school girls. These girls don't want their idols to have a relationship so quickly, which is as unforgivable as snatching the "prince" in their hearts. With love and girlfriend, it will undoubtedly reduce the weight of fans in Zixi's heart, which Fans will not allow to happen to their idols, even if Kim Tae-hee is the ideal type of Zixi they selected.
Although there are voices on the Internet opposing Kim Tae-hee playing the heroine of [IRIS], these are all decimals, after all, Zi-hee just said that Kim Tae-hee is his ideal type, and the two did not have a public formal relationship, and the members of Fanclub and the "knight" quarreled for a while, and then slowly calmed down. Only the unwilling tabloids, as well as Zixi's AntiFan, vaguely began to unite and tracked Zixi and Kim Tae-hee's itinerary, hoping to investigate the true relationship between the two.
