Section 1578 Filming of the TV series begins

Although he had already made up his mind to provide some help to the Tara girls, Lee Kyung-won didn't really want to help them terminate their contract with CCM and sign them into S.m.

For others, it is very difficult to help Tara terminate the contract, but for Li Jingyuan, who has enough economic strength and various background forces, it is not too difficult. In other words, the reason why Li Jingyuan did not have the idea of helping Tara transfer to a new company is not because he does not have that ability, but because of some other reasons.

One is because this matter is not in accordance with the rules.

In each circle, there are rules. Either it is on the surface, or it is an unspoken rule that is conventional. Comparatively speaking, the consequences of breaking the unspoken rules will be more severe.

Helping Tara isn't a rule-breaker, but it's not a rule breaker to use your own power to force CCM to achieve your goals. In other words, even if Li Jingyuan is ready to help the girls of Tara, he can't use his power to do it.

Under the premise that they can't use their power, if they still want to 'transfer Tara' for the purpose, then they can only pay a large sum of money and go through the formal process to buy out their contracts.

The current Tara has indeed been hit by a certain amount of Cheng dù, but one thing that can be confirmed is that the foundation of this group has not been damaged too much, and it is still a first-line idol group. Under such a premise, it is naturally impossible for CCM to treat them as waste, so. If you want to buy out the girls' contracts from CCM, and buy out the group name Tara and the copyright of the song, you need to use a lot of money.

From a business point of view. Spending so much money to resign to Tara is not a good deal.

Even if male idols are not so good-looking, they can still find a way out, such as Dacheng, but female idols are different, if they don't have enough appearance, being unpopular is a sure fact. Although some are too realistic. However, the fact that 'female idols are more attracted to fans by virtue of their appearance' cannot be denied.

Tara has been debuting for a few years, and although there are tender girls like Park Ji-yeon in the team, there are also 'old' idols like Jeon Baolan, who seem to be young but are actually in the second half of the twenties. Relatively. With the attractiveness of this group in the hearts of fans, it will definitely fall at a pace that is not as good as year after year. What's more, there will continue to be new girl group groups debut in the future, under the impact of these fresh and tender meats. Tara's situation will be even more awkward.

There is a lot of money that needs to be used. However, after actually signing Tara, he had to face the situation of "some members of the team are getting older, can't dance and can't sing, and have to let them transform, so that the whole group will either reorganize or develop mainly solo" within a few years.

In the past few years, the Tara girls have indeed been able to earn enough income for Li Jingyuan to offset the expenses when transferring them. However, on the premise of ensuring that Li Jingyuan himself does not lose money, how much money can they get for themselves. That's an unknown that can't be guaranteed. I believe that kind of situation, whether it is Li Jingyuan. It's still the members of Tara, they don't want to see it.

Regardless of other factors, the mere fact that it costs money to transfer to Tara is not a good proposition. What's more, bringing out a new girl group and making their earning power reach the level of Tara, the cost of which is much less, so in comparison, the plan to transfer to Tara is even less worth the investment.

If you want to save money, you have to break the rules and cause public outrage from other companies in the circle, or you have to spend a lot of money to do thankless business. It's not flattering at both ends, which is the first reason why Lee Kyung-won doesn't want to buy Tara out of CCM and transfer to S.m.

The second reason is in provisioning. After Li Jingyuan's investment, S.m's resources have indeed increased a lot. However, if you remove the vast majority of the staff at the bottom and only count those who can take charge of themselves, it is actually a little less.

If Tara is transferred to S.m, it is not only to let them recover to the most popular state, but also to match their status in the circle, the company will inevitably transfer some senior talents to form a set of excellent auxiliary teams for them.

TVXQ, SJ, Girls' Generation, FX, Shinee, IU, Boa, and EXO that is in preparation recently, which one should not be familiar with and take care of it? The company's internal human resources are already a little insufficient to allocate to these people, and where is the surplus manpower to serve Tara?

And the last reason, and the main one, is stylistic incompatibility.

Every entertainment company has its own style that it is best at, and YG, for example, is hip-hop style. Correspondingly, S.m also has its own unique style, in addition to IU and Boa, two SOLO singers, TVXQ, SJ, Girls' Generation, Shinee, FX and other groups all have a unified style in a certain way.

Although Tara also has the same idol name as the groups under S.m, their style is different from those under S.m. Under such a premise, if they are signed into S.m, will their style be influenced by the company, which will lead to a change?

Some people may say, isn't there still Li Jingyuan? As long as he took out the songs that belonged to Tara and gave them to sing, wouldn't they be able to keep the original style?

Not really. Even if Lee Kyung-won takes out the songs, transferring to Tara, which is owned by S.m, will still change in style. After all, Li Jingyuan can't always be by Tara's side, and the teachers in the S.m company who guide them more often are still those teachers in the S.m company. These teachers all have an S.m style, and their requirements for artists or trainees are definitely different from those teachers in CCM. Just practice or perform in the way these teachers teach. The members of Tara will inevitably be influenced to make changes in their stage performances or songs to bring something unique to S.m.

It may become more popular, or it may become worse. Comparatively speaking, the latter is more likely. Just think about it, after giving up the original style, you will definitely lose some old fans. And the attraction to new fans is not as good as those new debuting little fresh meat, which is under the influence of one and the other. The total number of followers will show a downward trend.

Park Ji-yeon and the others came to Lee Kyung-won for help, if it was because of Lee Kyung-won's intervention, they lost their original style and could not go further. Wouldn't that be a disadvantage? So. Even in order to maintain Tara's original style and let them get better results with their own style, Lee Kyung-won couldn't transfer them to S.m.

Several reasons were superimposed, which made Li Jingyuan have the decision of 'I must help, but I will never transfer Tara to S.m company'.

So, what exactly is the plan to help the girls in Tara?

After thinking about it, Li Jingyuan still found a compromise solution - to set up an independent studio under the name of CCM. Sole responsibility for Tara.

In this way, Li Jingyuan himself can save a lot of money first. And the CCM side will not have an opinion because it can no longer make money from Tara.

For Tara, they can continue to stay in CCM and ensure that their style is not affected. At the same time, they are relatively independent, so as not to let their combination be interfered with indiscriminately by the short-circuited Kim Kwang-so, thus causing a lot of unnecessary mess.

Relatively speaking, it is easier than letting Tara change jobs, but even if it is a little easier, it is still difficult for Li Jingyuan to directly come forward to take the lead in dealing with this matter.

After all, Li Jingyuan is only a shareholder of Mnet, but he does not have any position in CCM.

In addition, since Mnet has appointed Kim Kwang-so as the president of CCM, it is natural that he will not be used as a mouthpiece that only knows how to obey, but will definitely give him enough autonomy. Under such a premise, Lee Kyung-won, who only has the status of a shareholder of Mnet, but is not Kim Kwang-so's boss at all, is naturally even less qualified to dictate to Kim Kwang-so.

In practice, the process is as follows: Lee Kyung-won first proposed the creation of an independent studio to serve Tara at Mnet's internal meeting, then left some time for Mnet's other shareholders to discuss and make a decision, and finally, Mnet's department responsible for liaising with CCM communicated with Kim Kwang-so to implement the matter.

In the final analysis, it's all because Tara is in an embarrassing situation right now, which is why there are so many things. If they weren't in the current situation, but simply fell to the bottom, it would be easier to break first and then stand up, after all, by that time, the fans have almost lost, and it doesn't matter whether to change the style or not.

It's not difficult, but it's more time-consuming and a little more troublesome.

However, what Li Jingyuan lacked most in the recent days was time, so as a last resort, he had to temporarily hand over this matter to the agent who took care of his shares in Mnet, and let him take the lead instead of himself.

As for Li Jingyuan himself, he put all his energy into filming.

What made Li Jingyuan busy was not "RunningMan", nor "Infinite Challenge", but "You from the Star".

It's been a few months since the start of the production plan for this TV series. The crew led by Guo Zairong has been set up, needless to say the main actors, they must have been arranged, and trivial matters such as inspecting the filming location and making consecutive guest actors have also been prepared.

As soon as Qiē was ready, it was natural to start the official filming work.

Although when investing in this drama, Li Jingyuan decided not to follow the general routine of filming and broadcasting at the same time, but to find a TV station to contact the buyer after the one-time shooting. And a lot of money has been invested in this program at one time.

But then again, just because you have a lot of money doesn't mean you can just waste it. The crew that has been formed will waste an extra unnecessary expense if they are idle for one more day. In order to minimize waste, it is natural to hurry up with time.

It is said that it is necessary to hurry, but whether the shooting progress is fast or not is another matter.

Again, the main problem lies with Jessica.

In the drama "My Love from the Star", the heroine Cheon Song Yi is a college student and top actress, and her age in the play is 28 years old.

Jun Ji-hyun, who originally played Cheon Song-yi, was born in 1981, and she was 32 years old when she starred in Cheon Song-yi in 2013, although she was over 28 years old. However, because most of the actresses are well maintained, she looks a few years younger than her actual age, which just fits the setting of Qian Songyi in the play at 28 years old.

Right now. The role of Cheon Song Yi is played by Jessica, and the situation becomes different. Jessica, who was born in 89, is now 23 years old, although she is closer to an ordinary college student in age, but compared to the 28-year-old Cheon Song Yi in the play. Jessica, who is five years younger, still looks a little immature.

Pretending to be old has always been more difficult than pretending to be young. Moreover, Jessica's acting skills are countless streets worse than Jun Ji-hyun. Somewhat immature in appearance. The acting skills are even more immature, so that Jessica's process of playing Cheon Song Yi has a lot more stumbles than when Jun Ji-hyun played this role.

If it weren't for the fact that the script was taken out by Lee Kyung-won, if it weren't for the fact that the entire crew was supported by Lee Kyung-won's funds, if it weren't for the good relationship between director Kwak Jae-yong and Lee Kyung-won, or if it weren't for Jessica's own status as a member of Girls' Generation, which gave her the aura of a top artist, it would be in line with the setting of Cheon Song-yi's top actress in the play. Jessica's countless NGs during the performance will definitely attract countless scoldings from Guo Zairong for her.

“OPPA。 Do you think I'm really not suitable for acting? After finishing a shot in another shooting gap, Jessica sat aside to rest, and couldn't help but cry and ask Li Jingyuan, who was comforting her beside her, with a sad face.

Although because of Li Jingyuan's face, the staff will not count Jessica head-on, but after seeing that her appearance is not outstanding, these people will inevitably have some thoughts in their hearts, and then expose some signs in their eyes. Jessica is indeed a bit stupid sometimes, and she always ignores the situation around her when she is empty, but most of the time, she is also an ordinary girl with a sensitive mind, and the disdain and contempt that come from the eyes of the staff, she naturally cannot be completely unaware.

The more she is looked down upon, the more she wants to be better, but Jessica's acting skills are still very rusty, so the more she wants to work harder, the more blunt her performance becomes.

Just now, because the performance was too blunt and the details were not handled well in the expression, it was NG seven or eight times in a row.

This is not the first time, and similar situations have occurred many times before. Although she barely survived every time, after many times, Jessica will inevitably be hit psychologically, and it is precisely for this reason that she unconsciously develops a habit that whenever she encounters a similar situation, she will subconsciously become depressed.

"It's fine. It's only been a few days, and you're not a professional actor, so it's understandable that you're slow to get into the state. "Comforting Jessica and helping her adjust her mentality is Li Jingyuan's task, and this time is no exception. As he smoothed Jessica's brow, he smiled and relieved.

"But, but, it's ...... to be delayed like this."

"Don't worry, after a few days you get acquainted with it, it will be completely different. Besides, isn't the scene where the two of us appeared together yet? When it's time for the two of us to play head-on, with the tacit understanding between the two of us, do you still have to worry about not being able to act in wonderful shots? After a pause, Li Jingyuan smiled and quipped: "Hehe, you said, if I see you OK once, what will those people's expressions be?" I'm sure I'll be taken aback, and then I'll mumble to myself, 'How did Jessica's acting suddenly become so good?' Right? ”

In order to make Jessica's performance in the play look better, Lee Kyung-won did more than just comfort her. In fact, Lee Kyung-won has already discussed with Kwak Jae-yong that if Jessica's acting skills improve significantly during the filming process, then some of the shots she shot before when she was not good enough will be re-filmed.

Generally speaking, only if the film is filmed, and the budget of the movie is large, will there be a situation where you will go back and make up the shots.

For now, however, this approach works perfectly.

After all, Guo Zairong is a film director himself, and such things are no stranger to him. Moreover, "My Love from the Star" has enough filming time and filming funds under the intervention of Li Jingyuan. In this way, it is not an impossible solution to go back and shoot better shots in order to keep improving. (To be continued......)
