Chapter 199: Filming "Memories of Murder" (1)
After singing a song, Li Lin just paused and continued to record other songs, and when all the songs were finished, his throat was like a fire.
In the restaurant not far from S.M, Li Lin had a few glasses of cold drinks down his throat, suppressing the burning feeling.
"Li Lin." Li Yulong followed Li Lin, "Li Lin, you shouldn't offend the president." "He's very entangled, he's an employee of S.M, yes, but he's also Li Lin's manager, and if Li Lin's album is successful, he'll get the qualifications he wants.
"In Korea, no artist's album can be successful without publicity."
"But I have publicity, don't I?" Li Lin said: "I can sign up for music-related programs such as music banks, popular songs, etc., right?" β
No matter how long S.M's hand is, it can't reach the body of the three major Korean TV stations.
"No, it's not." Li Yulong shook his head, "You can indeed sign up for programs like music banks and popular songs, but the president can also stop you." β
"He can make the newspaper not report on you, and he can also arrange artists to stop you."
"Arrange whom? TVXQ? Li Lin smiled contemptuously, "The dissolution of the mythical group is imminent, and TVXQ has been unable to open up the situation for a long time, is there any artist in S.M Company who can take a shot at this time?" β
"Is it Boale or SES? Oh, forget about it, SES has been disbanded, does the current S.M company still have a good artist to stop me? β
It is impossible for Bao'er to come back, and Li Lin can make a phone call to make the Ibex Group not let go. No matter how powerful Li Xiuman is, he doesn't dare to fight against the iBakers Group in Japan, the only thing he can do is TVXQ, but TVXQ has just developed. It is very different from the TVXQ that replaced the mythical group as the Korean boy group N01 in later generations.
The current S.M company is at its weakest.
"It's ......." As soon as Li Yulong opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't refute Li Lin at all, SES disbanded, the mythical group was about to disband, Bao'er was in Japan, and the three groups launched by the company not long ago pushed one to death, solo singers have always been the dead hole of S.M company, and TVXQ, the only one who took the shot, has not yet grown up, even if he fights with Li Lin in the music bank and popular songs, he may not be able to win Li Lin.
But.......
Li Yulong thought for a moment, "Li Lin." Newspapers and magazines are also very important channels of publicity. β
"I know." It is impossible for Li Lin to tell him what kind of trend "Memories of Murder" will set off in a month, and he will not tell Li Yulong that a month later, everyone will talk about "Memories of Murder", and they will talk about him Li Lin instead of TVXQ.
The entertainment industry is a very small circle, it is so big, and there is so much attention. When one thing is on fire, the other things get less attention.
The Korea-Japan World Cup in '02 was a good example.
In the 02 South Korea-Japan World Cup, all the media were reporting on the World Cup, and the entire entertainment industry suffered an unprecedented blow, the singer's album was launched, the ratings of TV dramas on TV stations fell all the way, and the box office of the movie was even more miserable, the reason is that the Korean people's minds are on the World Cup. Not in the mood for entertainment at all.
"Memories of Murder" could not have caused a scene like the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. But it's still easy to influence the music scene.
"Don't worry." Li Lin didn't want to tell Li Yulong about many things, in the end, Li Yulong is still a person from S.M Company, of course, he will try hard to persuade him in front of him because he wants to make achievements, but if he is asked to choose between Li Lin and S.M Company, he will 100% choose S.M Company, after all, that is his job.
"I know my own affairs, you just need to sue the company that my album will not be released for the time being." Li Lin took another sip of the iced drink, and a cold feeling hit his heart, and the whole word 'cool' was clear, "I will notify the company of the specific time a week in advance." But definitely not more than two months. β
"Okay." Li Yulong could only reluctantly go back to report.
A week later, Li Lin finally worked overtime to complete the recording of the album MV. Then he slept beautifully, and waited until ten o'clock the next morning to take the car to the set of "Memories of Murder".
Because it is a small investment and a thriller and suspense movie, the set of "Memories of Murder" is relatively shabby, and it cannot be compared with a large crew next to it.
"Hey, wasn't that Li Lin just now?" The Korean boy who was doing a group performance saw Li Lin and was immediately surprised, "I didn't expect his filming crew to be here with us." β
He was merely surprised rather than excited.
Here, there are so many influences coming and going every day, and if everyone were to be excited, he would have died of overexcitement.
"Didn't I hear he's recording an album? Why are you still on set? An idle Korean student next to him also asked suspiciously.
There is never a shortage of quite star trainees in Korean record companies, and similarly, there is never a shortage of Korean students who want to be actors on the set in Korea, and there are even more of them than trainees.
They are South Korea's horizontal drifters, South Korea's North drifters, squatting in major studios for their actor dreams, waiting for the director or producer to take a fancy to them and then soar into the sky.
Even if they can't, they can be used as group performers to earn some money, so they are quite idle when they have nothing to do.
"Who knows, maybe it's a rumor outside!" The Korean student who did the group performance and the Korean student who had nothing to do chatted excitedly, this is celebrity gossip, "But I think he may have been driven away by S.M Company." β
"In addition, I quietly tell you that the mythical group is going to be disbanded."
"What." The Korean Xiaosheng, who had nothing to do, was just chatting casually, but he didn't expect to hear such heavyweight gossip, and immediately became excited, "The mythical group is about to be disbanded?" What's going on? β
"What else can it be, it's that the mythical combination has a conflict with Li Tyrant." The Korean student who did the group performance pouted. Lee so-man's reputation as a tyrant is well known, and in the whole of South Korea, S.M Company is one of the most ruthless squeezers of artists.
"I heard that the people of the Mythical Group went to Lee so-man's office and talked to Lee so-man about the contract. They also said that their contract with S.M. was null and void. β
"Then Li Xiuman was furious, hehe, you know Li Xiuman's character, because HOT beat him in the office, he forcibly disbanded HOT regardless of the influence of public opinion, tsk......."
Korean students smash their mouths, smash them.
The dissolution of HOT was a huge shock to the entire Korean music scene, and S.M almost collapsed that time, if it weren't for the sudden emergence of the mythical group. Replacing HOT's position in the Korean music scene, I'm afraid there is no such thing as S.M now.
"Now that the mythical group is about to disband again, I don't know if TVXQ can take over the baton of the mythical group. If you can't take it, then S.M. is doomed. β
The Korean Xiaosheng who did the group performance gloated and said that in South Korea, there are few young people who have a good impression of S.M company, you know. HOT's status in the Korean music scene is an ancestral idol group. Only the Crystal Boys can fight them at home.
The dissolution of HOT is an eternal pain in the hearts of Korean fans.
It's strange that they can have a good impression of Li Xiuman, who single-handedly disbanded HOT.
"I wish S.M was going to go out of business." The idle Korean boy cursed viciously.
After Li Lin arrived on the set, he immediately walked into the dressing room.
The movie "Memories of Murder" tells the story of a series of serial murders in a small town in South Korea, and in order to investigate the case, the town police and the police from Seoul forced a confession from the suspect.
The prototype of this story is the South Korean Hwaseong serial murder case that plunged Korean society into a panic in the mid-to-late 80s of the 20th century, so Li Lin had to dress himself up as a Korean of that era.
"Mr. Li Lin's face is good, let's do it slightly!" The Korean makeup artist asked casually when Li Lin was applying makeup.
Li Lin became annoyed when he heard this, your face is slightly facelifted, your whole family is facelifted, and he is very depressed now. A recording engineer told him that he was Korean, and now he changed to a make-up artist and said that his face was facelifted. Get rid of you Korean sticks don't be so shameless, okay.
But he thought so in his heart, but Li Lin didn't say that on his face, "It's not a slight rectification." β
"Is it whole?" The stylist was immediately surprised, "That's a lot of money." β
When Li Lin heard this, his heart suddenly felt like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by.
"I haven't done it." Li Lin smiled, "This face was given to me by my parents, but I have been fostered." β
"Bondage?" The stylist was even more surprised, "What skin care products work so well?" Laneige? Chan Zhen? Or Amore? He was talking about the most famous skin care products in Korea, ranging from thousands of won to hundreds of thousands of won.
"It's not." Li Lin has never heard of the skin care products in the mouth of this stylist, "mainly skin care products such as Estee Lauder and L'Oreal." β
There is still a lot of time, Li Lin doesn't mind chatting with makeup artists, he doesn't know much about skin care products, but celebrities can't do without skin care products, so it's still good to chat.
"Estee Lauder? L'OrΓ©al? The makeup artist's mouth was already shocked, "These are the top foreign skin care products, you actually choose them?" β
The entertainment industry chooses high-end cosmetics, even if the conditions are poor, they will choose the mid-range, and the artists who choose to resist will only be ridiculed, but in South Korea, few people choose international first-line brands.
It's not that they look down on international first-line brands, it's just that they can't afford to use them, a set of cosmetics up to tens of millions of won makes any artist look away, in fact, except for a few top actors who use international first-line brands, none of the other artists choose international first-line brands.
"Are all Chinese artists so rich?" The makeup artist turned a thought in his heart, "Impossible, it is impossible for an artist in Huaxia to be so rich, he must be open-mouthed." β
The makeup artist thought for a moment and then said, "Since you choose European and American brands, why don't you choose Lamer?" (To be continued......)
