Chapter 656: Filming officially begins
Park Ji-yeon is very similar to Kim Tae-hee, but she doesn't like this very much, she is herself and not "little Kim Tae-hee", she just took advantage of Lee Kyung-myung's fame a few times to have this name, if it is really Kim Tae-hee who is young for half a year, this title will follow her for the rest of her life.
"What kind of child's temper is playing at this time, you must know that many people can't find a way out if they want this opportunity." Lee Ji-hyun is like a well-intentioned parent, she doesn't know that Park Ji-yeon doesn't like to be put together with Kim Tae-hee, but as long as such a good opportunity can be seized, Park Ji-yeon will have to fight for two or three years less.
Kim Tae-hee is already recognized as the No. 1 beauty in South Korea, and she has already won the "unrecognizable knife" Kim Hee-sun, but Park Ji-yeon thinks that she doesn't have to be inferior to each other, as long as she is given time, she can also make a career in the entertainment industry, "Ernie, I'm going to make my debut in a group, and it's not appropriate to act now." ”
"Don't make excuses, isn't Nam Ji-hyun also about to make his debut in a group?" Lee Ji-hyun glanced at Park Ji-yeon, this little guy began to make excuses in order to escape, "I can't control you, but you still owe a billion won in debt, how many years are you going to pay it off as a singer?" ”
"I see, I'll ask OPPA." Originally, this money should not have been repaid by Park Ji-yeon, because the money was to repay her father's debts and restore the operation of the company, so it should be repaid by her father. But now the general environment is still sluggish, although the family company has resumed normal operation, it still has not made much improvement, and it has borrowed Li Jingming's light to make a small profit, how can there be enough funds to repay the debt.
Park Ji-yeon took the debt herself, she wanted to sell herself to Lee Kyung-myung, but unfortunately Lee Chyeong-myung obviously wouldn't want it, and if you are a singer, with the harshness of the Korean entertainment industry to idol singers, I really don't know how many years it will take to make up one billion won. If you are an actor, the salary will be much higher, and the actor is not like a singer, who is idle to practice, busy and performing, much more relaxed, and has a window period to rest. Park Ji-yeon suddenly became interested in being an actor after Lee Ji-hyun's click. Although she had also taken acting classes but didn't feel too much, now she was suddenly a little worried, "Ernie, although it's good to be far away, but isn't it a little late for me to hone my acting skills now?" ”
"Many masters of acting are late bloomers, and you are only seventeen years old, so it's not too late to say anything." Lee Ji-hyun is a little funny, Park Ji-yeon is still a child in her eyes, but she asks her if it's too late.
Park Ji-yeon fell asleep with her thoughts, although the debut of an idol is already inevitable, but it is nothing new for singers to be actors in the entertainment industry. She has such good resources and can be a good actor. No one doesn't want to be an actor, this is directed by the upper and lower structure of the Korean entertainment industry, and the success of Sung You-ri and Yoon Eun-hye and others has made almost all female singers see hope, and now idols have also stepped into the film and television industry under the leadership of Lin Yuna, a pioneer who is popular with "Zhang Shibi", Park Ji-yeon has also decided to become one of them, and she will call Lee Kyung-myung tomorrow morning.
"Dude, you're not an extra, are you?" As soon as the day dawned, a group of people crowded into the open space to chat, this is the filming site of "Queen Seondeok", a large group of extras are waiting for makeup, "I don't know how to dress professionally." Look at you Swiss gold. ”
The man who was accosted smiled and shook his watch, "Fake." ”
"Don't mind, everyone is still here with peers? I have been a reporter for so many years, and those who have seen it have seen the sea of things. I don't have any eyesight, and I still don't have any mixed food. "This person is a journalist, and the reason why he came here to be an extras is to find some first-hand information.
The crew of "Queen Seondeok" did not allow the media to approach the filming location, after all, the leakage of filming content will cause a lot of losses, but you have your own plan. People have their own ladders over the wall, and at least a quarter of this morning's extras are journalists. Not to mention the reporters of the Celestial Empire, there are also some South Korean reporters who have mixed in. Because the crew is looking for extras from the local Western Film and Television City, these Korean reporters speak broken Chinese and do not say that they are ethnic minorities. The person who is responsible for managing the extras below reported to Li Jingming that he just smiled, and he couldn't be too unemotional, and it was also good for the popularity of the TV series to be able to make some reports, and they were indeed Korean.
"You came all the way from Beijing for this?" The editor-in-chief of a newspaper with a Rolex gold watch, because he learned Korean in South Korea and is very good, this time he wanted to collect more information, so he went into battle himself, and he could actually understand what the crew said.
"That Korean is amazing, so powerful that he can't come." This reporter in Beijing was called up by his boss overnight to be an extra, because Li Jingming's name was too big, and they had to pay attention to it. The Celestial Empire has always been stronger than South Korea in the film industry, ten times stronger than a hundred times, and there were no local films in South Korea during the boom period of Hong Kong films, but now with Li Jingming, it has become different.
It is not so easy for Asian films to be recognized in North America, and Akira Kurosawa has already been praised as a generation of masters, but when he was dying, he won an Oscar for Lifetime Achievement. And Li Jingming was only twenty-five years old and actually won the Oscar for Best Director and Oscar for Best Picture, which is really incredible, think about what he would look like when he didn't come, at the age of thirty-five or forty-five, it is estimated that he will be able to win the Lifetime Achievement Award at the age of fifty. Li Jingming is indeed a director trained by film education in North America, and USC's Doctor of Film Arts degree has left him with a distinct North American imprint, but he has one biggest difference from Ang Lee, he is not an American citizen.
There was no breakfast early in the morning, so the reporters and actors who arrived at four o'clock had not eaten yet, and only a few smart ones brought bread to satisfy their hunger. It's not that LAD Entertainment is stingy, and it's not that the extras who deliberately embarrass the Celestial Empire, it's that there is no habit of providing breakfast on the Korean side. In South Korea, there are all food trucks selling ramen and rice cakes, and they move with the crew, and they stop next to the filming location to finish the matter, and it has nothing to do with the crew if they want to eat and buy it themselves. There is no such mobile food truck here in the Celestial Empire, most of them are soy milk and bread prepared by the crew, otherwise it is steamed buns.
Li Jingming, who had eaten a big bowl of braised noodles and later inspected the situation, heard complaints from afar, and his Chinese was very good and he naturally understood what it meant. Li Jingming scratched his neck, this time it was his own negligence, many of the staff of LAD Entertainment came to the Celestial Empire for the first time, and it was normal not to understand the situation, but he himself as a person who had lived here for five years should not make such a low-level mistake. Standing on the box with the director's special speaker, Li Jingming began to shout to the extras, "Today is our negligence, and we are really sorry to let everyone go to work hungry, but I have already contacted the food company to send breakfast, and everyone can get breakfast in about an hour." ”
Li Jingming's voice was very loud, the meaning was very clear, and the pronunciation was also very standard, so the extras who were hungry and made comments after getting the answer they wanted all settled down. This kind of thing should not have been interfered with by director Li Jingming, in order to maintain a sense of distance and majestic image from the extras, he just asked the person in charge of the extras to talk about it, but he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he went into battle in person.
Li Jingming had a similar experience in India, where some extras were actually members of the local media or even extremist groups, and they infiltrated the crew just to cause trouble and prevent their normal filming. Li Jingming knows that there are many people in the Celestial Empire who are hostile to South Korea, just like South Korea, there are many people who are not friendly to the Celestial Empire, he can't care what others think, but who dares to make trouble on the set, he definitely wants to let the other party see what it means to be unaffordable. Li Jingming has already asked Huang Jingzhe to investigate, no matter how many people are mixed in with the extras today, he must know who sent them, and after knowing their details, he will not hurt the innocent.
The extras were arranged into the bus after putting on their makeup, and the filming location was in the field so they needed to be moved, and Li Jingming saw that nothing had happened before he got on the bus with satisfaction.
The good memories of drinking and having fun together yesterday are still there, and Li Jingming's warm smile is still clear, but the Korean actors in the crew are becoming more and more careful. Lee Kyung-myung's strictness is really a bit non-human, and the slightest flaw in his expression can make him reshoot, Nam Ji-hyun's young Mande, who screams when his mother (actually a maid) is sick, and wants the guards to find a doctor to see a doctor but is refused, Lee Kyung-myung is not satisfied with Nam Ji-hyun's crying acting skills, and finally Kim Tae-hee can't stand it and pinches him before he reluctantly gives it over.
After Li Jingming sat in the director's chair, his whole temperament changed, just like the ruler of this land. The reason why Hollywood's great directors are often called kings by actors is because of their absolute dominance on the set, in this play, in this filming location, the director is the king. Li Jingming's strict requirements are just for the actors to be careful, but no one says anything, it is really a blessing for the best Hollywood director to give them a direct, who can say anything, and they are the biggest beneficiaries if the TV series can be filmed.
"Even if you are not satisfied, you have to come appropriately, the eyes of the little girl in the world are swollen, and the knees are red, so I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?" Kim Tae-hee is the only one on the set who dares to talk to Lee Kyung-myung like this, this is a complaint, although she has also filmed under other directors who are known for their strictness, but it is the first time she has seen a director like Lee Kyung-myung who is almost "nitpicking".
Li Jingming shook his head, this Nuna is not young but still has a girl's heart, "Freida? Pinto became famous overnight, do you think it depends on her acting skills? ”
Kim Tae-hee was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Nam Ji-hyun not far away and felt a little sorry, in the Korean entertainment industry, there will never be a girl who refuses to be the next Freda? Pinto's chance. (To be continued......)
