"Li Lin, what do you think of me going to Huaxia to be a star?"

The makeup artist who was putting on Li Lin's makeup suddenly spoke, and when Li Lin looked at himself in the mirror, he also shook his hair handsomely, "If you want to have a good look, you want to have dancing skills, I should be very popular when I go to Huaxia!" ”

Li Lin looked at him carefully and laughed, "You should go for plastic surgery first, remember not to have a slight facelift, but a full facelift." ”

"Still going to have a facelift?" The makeup artist rubbed his cheek, a little headache, "But I just did it not long ago, and I can't fix it now." ”

"Am I going to wait?"

"But haven't I already made up for the image of the most popular boy in Korea right now?"

This is not scientific!

Isn't Hallyu no longer popular?

Shaking his head, he shook the question in his heart, "Li Lin, which direction do you think I should go?" Sunshine boy or androgynous beauty? ”

"Is there masculine beauty?" Li Lin said.

"Masculine beauty?" The makeup artist was stunned for a moment, and then her hair shook like a rattle, "No, masculine beauty is hard." "South Korea is generally small, how can it be so easy to have a masculine beauty, even if it is the image of the whole rough and big eyes, but the temperament must keep up, the general tendency of the makeup artist industry is neutral, and the emphasis is on a delicate mind, it is okay to play neutral beauty and soft beauty, but it is not good to play sunny beauty at all.

"Do all the people in Huaxia like masculine beauty?"

"Hmm." Li Lin responded perfunctorily.

"It's a shame, don't they need a new style injection?"

"Hmm."

"A cute Korean kid like me. Chinese people should like it! ”

"Hmm."

"Then I'll go to Huaxia to develop!"

"Hmm."

……

Li Lin responded perfunctorily to whatever the makeup artist said, and after the makeup artist said that his mouth was dry, Li Lin's makeup was also good.

Sun-kissed skin, Korean 80s looks and hairstyles. Coupled with the fact that there is not much difference between Asians, Li Lin in the mirror looks no different from the Koreans of that era.

Li Lin, who was wearing makeup, gathered with other actors, and then watched director Bong Joon-ho worshipping the pig's head.

This is the Korean version of the opening ceremony, because in South Korea, the pig's head represents a lucky relationship, and almost every crew will worship the pig's head in the hope that they will get good luck, not only that the crew can finish filming smoothly, but also hope that the movie can also be lucky at the box office.

After worshipping the pig's head. Director Bong Joon-ho held a loudspeaker in his hand, "Today's first scene was filmed in a wheat field, everyone come with me." ”

The group walked out of the set.

Here's the set. But the wheat field is already on location, after all, it has to be filmed outside.

Li Lin followed behind the large army, grabbed Kim Hyun-gyu and asked, "Why did you go directly to the wheat field?" ”

Whether it's to save time or money. The first scene after the opening ceremony will not be filmed on location. It's good to go to South Korea, and go straight to shoot the location.

"Because the farmers said it would soon be time to harvest." Kim Hyun-gyu pouted and was very dissatisfied with the group of dirt-bun-like farmers, "They are just fooling around, they don't know how important filming is to us in the Republic of Korea, they actually forced us to go to the location for their own selfishness, and they also threatened us to harvest the wheat field directly if we didn't shoot." ”

"Do they really think they're the only ones who have the wheat fields?"

Kim Hyun-gyu just vented.

Around Seoul, especially at this time, they are really the only ones who have large wheat fields. If they missed the wheat field, they had to go far away to re-set the set, which greatly increased the budget. So they went to shoot the location immediately after the kick-off ceremony.

"That's right, Li Linxi." Kim Hyun-gyu suddenly remembered what Li Lin had promised, "Do you have a distribution company in Huaxia that has taken a fancy to this movie?" ”

"I've let people out of the way, but I don't know if any publishers have bought it." Li Lin shook his head, the field of film distribution has always been a fog for him, and others who are optimistic about him are not necessarily optimistic.

"That's good." Kim Hyun-gyu rubbed his palms, his excitement overflowing, "I don't even know how to thank you." ”

Although he is a producer, he still understands some distribution, and the first movie like Li Lin's song often gets the audience's expectations, with Li Lin's huge number of fans in China, it is impossible for the distributor to miss this money-making movie, whether it is good or bad.

The only thing that disagrees is about the price of the buyout.

Whether it's tens of millions of won or hundreds of millions of won, that's a matter for the negotiating group, if it's tens of millions of won, they can get back most of their investment before the movie is released, and if it's hundreds of millions of won, they have already made a small profit before the movie is released.

Of course, they didn't know how high the film was later rated or how high the box office in South Korea was, and now he is just hoping to make a small profit.

"If you want to thank me, don't reveal my salary just yet." Li Lin said: "I'm talking about the fixed salary. ”

Kim Hyun-gyu was stunned for a moment, "Why?" ”

Li Lin's salary is very inflated, he was originally going to use it to build momentum for the movie, but Li Lin asked not to reveal it at this time, which made him confused.

"Li Linxi, if you don't disclose your salary, how can we publicize it?"

He has already said hello, people in the Korean industry will not question Li Lin's salary, even if a reporter asks, he will only get that Li Lin is an artist in Huaxia, and his salary is priced according to Huaxia.

But at this time, Li Lin said not to disclose the salary, which means that the publicity plan of the film will be less.

"Please also ask Li Lin to tell me why." Kim Hyun-gyu had a stern face, if other actors or even directors came to say this to him, he would immediately spray it, but Li Lin is different, now they have a request for Li Lin, and they dare not offend Li Lin.

"I'm not asking you not to advertise." Li Lin said: "In the early stage, you can reveal the rumors, and then tell my salary when the movie is released, so as to create a sensation." ”

"The reason I'm asking this is to build momentum for my new album."

"You probably don't know, I'm not doing very well in S.M Company now, President Li Xiuman and President Li think that people like me don't listen to him, and he wants to use the Oriental God to suppress me and tell me who is the real king in the Korean music industry."

Li Lin and S.M said that the release of the album would be postponed, and TVXQ's album would also be postponed, which in itself illustrates Lee's thoughts.

"Li Xiuman?" Kim Hyun-gyu was stunned for a moment, "You fell out with Lee so-man?" ”

Li Xiuman's name as a tyrant has long been passed to the Korean film and television industry, and when HOT was disbanded, the whole of South Korea was crusading against Li Xiuman, but Li Xiuman resisted stubbornly, that kind of pressure, let alone him, even the CEO of Xijie Entertainment couldn't bear it, but Li Xiuman resisted, and also took S.M Company out of that shadow and went to the peak,

Such a person Li Lin also dared to fall out with him, whether he was a master of art and bold or a fearless person who didn't know.

"It's a falling out." Li Lin nodded, "So I need your help." ”

"Even if you reveal your salary when the movie is finished, it's not much use!" Kim Hyun-gyu asked puzzled, "That kind of thing is at most a sensation for a day, and then it will disappear." ”

"I have my reasons." Li Lin said with a smile: "You just need to do what I say, and there is not much difference between breaking the news before the release of the movie and breaking the news and hype at this time!" ”

Kim Hyun-gyu thought for a moment, but agreed, "Okay, just do what you say." "Anyway, it doesn't matter, just treat it as a favor to Li Lin.

The group soon arrived at the wheat field, and the director Bong Jun-ho took a loudspeaker to direct the props team to prepare all the props, and called Li Lin, "The next thing is your play, I hope you can complete it perfectly." ”

"I try." Li Lin said.

"Not as much as possible, but definitely." Director Bong Joon-ho has a stern voice, "The director is not shooting MVs, and he can't be perfunctory at will, only a non-perfunctory attitude can make a good movie." ”

Li Lin was stunned when he heard this, he was just modest, how did he become perfunctory when he came to Koreans, didn't he say that Korean culture is inherited from Chinese culture?

The thought turned around in his mind, and Li Lin said, "OK, I must." ”

Hearing this, director Bong Joon-ho gave Li Lin a good face, "Come on, work hard, this movie is my painstaking work, I have paid a lot for it, and it must not fail." ”

"Not only will you not fail, but you will embark on the road of a great Korean director because of this drama." Li Lin said with a smile.

"How is that possible?" Bong Joon-ho shook his head, "How can I become a big Korean director, that name is not something that can be called by any person." ”

The big director, the small group of people at the top of the director, he dreams of being that group of people, but he also knows the distance between himself and those people, which is not something he can imagine.

"But this drama will definitely be the strongest stepping stone for you to embark on the road to becoming a great director." Li Lin said firmly, no one knows better than him the sensation caused by this movie, maybe it is not as good as "Han River Monster" in 06, and it is not as good as "The King's Man" in 05, but it is definitely a box office dark horse in 03, and it can compete with Hollywood blockbusters for the Korean annual box office championship.

"Thank you for your blessings." Bong Joon-ho's gaze at Li Lin has also changed a lot, "I hope it can become a stepping stone for me to embark on the road of becoming a great director as you said." His worries were gone.

Even an actor like Li Lin is so optimistic about this movie, what position does he, the director, have to worry about. (To be continued......)
