Chapter 1468: Paving the Way
Song Jong-gi came quickly, and on the second day of the establishment of the crew of "The First Chaos in History", he arrived at the capital airport with Ha Ji Won.
However, the arrival of the two people was quiet, except for some media reporters taking pictures, there were basically no fans to pick up the airport.
People who don't know think they don't have any popularity.
In fact, this is the tradition of A.P, and it is also a very different style from other Korean entertainment companies.
No matter where artists from other companies go, fan pick-up has become a norm. Hundreds, if not thousands, of fans flooded the airport, banners were everywhere, and shouts and cheers were loud.
A lot of people look at it, wow, who's here? With so many people coming to greet you, it must be a big brand.
It can be said that a large part of the influence of Hallyu is actually driven by this practice. Because it is easy to give people a very popular scene of Korean stars, so that their value can be too high and attract more people's attention.
However, unlike other entertainment companies, A.P has never advocated fan pick-up, nor does it accept expensive gifts from fans.
According to A.P., so many people gather in public places, which will cause inconvenience to the public, and at the same time, it will also bring safety risks.
The company is deeply grateful for the love of the fans, but it also advocates that everyone can take a reasonable approach.
At first, many Korean fans did not understand this approach, and they still surrounded A.P's artists at airports and other places, and presented them with valuable gifts.
But after a few times, I found that the artists of A.P Company had gone through the VIP channel, and they really didn't accept expensive gifts, and this trend gradually disappeared.
Originally, there were still some fans who were disheartened and felt that the artists of A.P Company were unkind and ignored fans, so there were not a few who took off their meals.
But then I slowly found out. Although they don't let fans go to public places to greet them and don't accept expensive gifts, they are very concerned about their activities. And when the fans sent handwritten letters and some meaningful but inexpensive gifts were also received, everyone's mind was also calm.
What's more, A.P's approach has been highly appreciated by the public and has been praised ever since.
So now Ha Ji Won and Song Jong Ki appear at the capital airport, no one greets them, and no one thinks that they are not popular.
Cui Zhengyuan personally greeted them at the airport, but he only met Ha Jiwon in a hurry, and he couldn't even save it.
Previously on holiday in Australia. The two had too much fun, so Cui Zhengyuan was still a little unsatisfied and wanted to continue his lead in the capital.
It's a pity that the launch speed of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is faster, and the crew has already started shooting in Hengdian.
It can be said that everything is ready, just waiting for Ha Ji Yuan, the most important east wind.
So in a hurry at the airport, Ha Ji Won turned around and boarded the plane to the south.
Choi Jung-won had no choice but to take Song Jong-ki and rush to the crew of "The First Chaos in History".
Before the start of the film, Cui Zhengyuan, an investor, held a grand welcome banquet and invited the main characters in all the crew.
This is a familiar process for everyone. Second, I also want to take this opportunity to help Song Jong-ki get to know more contacts.
This kid is young, handsome, and has outstanding acting skills, and he will make great achievements in the Chinese film and television industry in the future. Help him pave the way a little more at this time. In the future, it will be smoother.
For this trip to China, Song Jong Ki's studio also attaches great importance to it.
Originally, there was a movie called "Saving Money Romance" in South Korea, and I liked him very much and was ready to invite him to be the leading actor. The partner is still a first-line actress like Han Yise.
But for the sake of a larger market, Song Jong Ki's studio rejected the invitation.
The banquet was held at the Capital International Hotel, and Huayi boss Wang Zhongjun and the producer of the TV series Li Bingbing jointly attended.
"You're a complete newcomer here. Keep your posture low, don't put on a shelf. Just like the Korean entertainment industry, whatever the predecessors say, you just do it. If you are really embarrassed, please ask Minister Li Anhao directly. While walking through the crowd, Choi Jung-won taught the newcomer Song Jong-ki.
Although he learned a lot of Chinese culture in A.P, Song Jong-ki's Chinese skills are also very good. But after all, this is a completely unfamiliar country, so he is really worried. Therefore, he has been listening attentively to Cui Zhengyuan's teachings.
Cui Zhengyuan said as he walked, and then pulled a young and beautiful girl over and introduced Song Jong-ki: "You get to know each other, this is Zhao Liying, an actor from our company's China branch." You are both colleagues and working together in this play, so you will take care of each other more in the future. ”
Zhao Liying's image is sweet, pure and elegant, and she seems to have a fairy spirit when she smiles. Although I came to the banquet at this time, I only had light makeup and preferred to be without makeup.
This made Song Jong-ki, who had seen him armed with all kinds of cosmetics, shocked, and he didn't know how to say hello shyly.
Zhao Liying, who was two years younger than him, was down-to-earth and generous, and joked very happily. "Song Jong-ki Oba, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Well, although this voice was learned by Zhao Liying to sell cuteness, it also made Song Jongji's heart completely melt.
"It's over, I'm going to work with such a beautiful woman all the time in the future, I'm going to be shocked." After years of debut, Song Jong-ki quickly adjusted his mentality.
Zhao Liying didn't know how Song Zhongji's Chinese was, and in her opinion, Cui Zhengyuan's Chinese was already very against the sky.
Now that she found that Song Zhongji could also speak Chinese, she was immediately happy.
When she learned that she would act in an emotional scene with a Korean actor, she was worried that she would choke enough. This language is not understood, and many feelings cannot be transmitted, can you shoot well?
Now that she was free of that worry, she was relaxed.
made Song Zhongji and Zhao Liying familiar with it, and Cui Zhengyuan took him to find Wang Zhongjun and Li Bingbing, and asked these two great powers to take care of this kid.
Before coming to China, Song Jong-ki also did some homework.
He knows that Wang Zhongjun has an extraordinary status in China's entertainment industry, just like Cui Zhengyuan in South Korea. So in the face of such a big man, he became more and more respectful and put on a low profile.
As for Li Bingbing, he is an internationally famous star, and Song Jong-ki has admired him for a long time.
And such a big beauty with an extraordinary temperament made Song Jong-ki's heart break even more. even gave full play to the attributes of his brother next door and deliberately curry favor.
A handsome guy like him is already very popular with women. The coaxing Li Bingbing smiled, and the bold Northeast woman almost recognized him as a godbrother on the spot.
They were chatting happily when someone arrived in a hurry. "Yo, my chief executive, you're here."
As soon as I heard it, I knew that this was Yao Chen's arrival.
She has another itinerary today, and she just came back from a busy plane. When he came over and saw that Wang Zhongjun and Li Bingbing were there, he hurriedly greeted: "Mr. Wang is good, Sister Bingbing is good." ”
Li Bingbing pulled her to her side and said with a smile: "I said what are you busy with day by day, the last time I called you to say that we would eat together, no one answered." ”
Li Bingbing originally had nothing to do with Yao Chen, and the two had never cooperated. However, because of the good relationship between A.P Company and Huayi Company, the two often participate in activities on behalf of their respective companies, and they are familiar with each other.
"Hey, don't mention it, the last time that phone accidentally broke when I went to the toilet, I'll tell you the new number later." Yao Chen is a big grinning character, and he will say anything in front of so many people.
After the greetings were over, Yao Chen noticed Song Jong-ki, who was always standing beside Choi Jung-won. Immediately smiled: "This is Zhong Ji, right?" It's really handsome. How's that, do you have a girlfriend? What do you think of me, sister? ”
When Koreans first met, they were very cold. Even most Chinese are like this.
But obviously for people who are used to mixing in the entertainment industry, self-familiarity is the norm.
In the face of Yao Chen's joke, Song Zhongji's face was red, and he didn't know how to answer.
It was Cui Zhengyuan who relieved him. "Don't pay attention to this crazy woman, she must have had a spring recently, and she is flattering when she catches a man. If you really can't get away, you will use a beautiful man's trick to cheat her out of all her money. ”
In the midst of everyone's laughter, Yao Chen said angrily: "Is there a boss like you?" I've already made money for you, and I'm going to cheat my pension money? ”
Seeing Yao Chen, the senior sister, laughing generously with Cui Zhengyuan, Song Zhongji was really envious.
The rules of the entertainment industry in South Korea are too heavy, except for a few big names who have reached a certain level, no one dares to talk to the boss like this.
Although he subconsciously thinks that this is unethical, he doesn't know why, but he especially wishes he could do the same.
The excitement here quickly attracted other people, and Xia Yu and Zhang Fengyi walked over together.
Zhang Fengyi is a big senior in China's entertainment industry, and although Xia Yu has always been classified as a young actor, he actually has good qualifications.
When such two characters came over, it was naturally lively again.
Although everyone is focused on the two big bosses, Wang Zhongjun and Cui Zhengyuan, Cui Zhengyuan is focusing on paving the way for Song Jong-ki.
This is the advantage of having someone to take care of, so that Song Jong-ki quickly became familiar with some of his predecessors and left an impression.
Otherwise, he would have broken into China by himself, and the big names present probably wouldn't even look at him.
And with Cui Zhengyuan's care, even if everyone doesn't value him very much, for the sake of Cui Zhengyuan's face, they will be somewhat accommodating.
It can be said that Song Jong-ki's acting career in China has had an easy beginning. If he can't mix it up, it only means that he can't be built. (To be continued......)
