Chapter 68: We are returning to our place
At seven o'clock in the evening, the program is about to start recording.
In the dressing room, Yang Mi and Sun Bijuan sat still, letting the makeup artist do something on their faces.
With unfinished smiles on their faces, the two of them enthusiastically discussed their harvest at the mall today.
On the other side, Qin Muchu sat slumped in a chair and decisively refused the request of a makeup artist who was difficult to distinguish between male and female makeup to give him makeup.
"Men, it's all difficult."
Jiang Wen patted Qin Muchu on the shoulder, he had also gone shopping with his wife, and understood the feeling of being hollowed out.
Well, no less than handing in homework.
Qin Muchu pulled the corners of his mouth, which could be regarded as a response to Jiang Wen.
Physically and mentally exhausted, I don't want to talk at all.
"Knock knock."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The door opened, and it was the translator who had received Qin Muchu before.
The man bowed down and asked with a smile:
"Director Qin, teachers, other guests of tonight's show are coming to visit you."
With that, he stepped out of the way, revealing the woman behind him.
He was tall and tall, with black hair falling down like satin, a delicate face, and a small mole on the tip of his nose.
The woman bowed to Qin Muchu and the others, her long hair falling on both sides of her cheeks:
"Teacher Song, I'm Jun Ji-hyun, I'm very accustomed to changing your movies, and I'm very happy to see you."
It turned out to be Chinese, although the accent was serious.
"Jun Ji-hyun?"
Yang Mi exclaimed.
Jun Ji-hyun is no nobody.
At that time, a "My Sassy Girlfriend" became popular all over Asia, changing the image of a virtuous and virtuous girlfriend, and a woman attacking a man can also be a beautiful love.
And Jun Ji-hyun, who played the role of "savage girlfriend", has attracted countless fans and became popular.
Yang Mi is also a little fan of hers.
I don't know if my current personality is influenced by the movie.
Qin Muchu looked at Jun Ji-hyun, but what flashed in his mind was not "My Sassy Girlfriend", but a popular TV series "You from the Star".
"Well, let that girl stop bowing, get up quickly!" Jiang Wen said to the translator.
Jun Ji-hyun was still bowing and didn't get up.
The translator said a few words to Jun Ji-hyun before she got up.
"Hello, Director Qin, please advise!"
"Hello, Senior Jiang, please advise!"
"Hello ......"
"Hello, I like Li Yesu played by you very much, it's so beautiful."
“…… The kids are so cute! ”
Jun Jixian greeted Qin Muchu and them one by one.
Start with the director, and then work in chronological order.
After greeting, he said in unfamiliar Chinese:
"Teachers, don't disturb your rest!"
He bowed and withdrew.
It seems that I only came here to say hello to a few of them.
Qin Muchu and the others were a little dumbfounded.
Seeing the expressions of several people, the interpreter understood their doubts, and explained:
"The Korean entertainment industry is very particular about seniority.
The juniors must be 100% respectful to the seniors, even if the juniors are much more popular than the seniors.
Not to mention bowing, even kowtowing is sometimes there.
If the senior smokes the left side of your face, you have to stick the right side of your face over. ”
In fact, this is not only the case in the entertainment industry, but also in the entire Korean society.
Qin Muchu nodded in understanding, and made eye contact with Jiang Wu.
"Although our country also has this set of things, it is not as strict as here at all." Jiang Wu sighed.
Although the Celestial Empire also has seniors and seniors, the most important thing is to see whether it is popular or not.
If the back is more famous than the predecessors and has a background, the seniors bring tea to the back and call the teacher.
"Well," Qin Muchu nodded, "It seems that their social status in the entertainment industry is quite low, not so high." ”
South Korea is a macho country, and Korean artists do not have a very high status in South Korea, and their income is not very large.
Therefore, many Korean stars later became popular and liked to go to the Celestial Empire to make money, and they could earn income in South Korea for a few years by filming a drama in the Celestial Empire.
Of course, this refers to the general situation, and there are always some circles where the top people are special.
Several people chatted on this topic, and after a while, someone from the program team came to inform them that the recording was about to start.
Everyone wears a headset with simultaneous translation in it.
"Director Qin, "The Gift of Room No. 7" was a big hit at the box office in South Korea, and the movie was very touching, but everyone had a doubt, I feel that many places in the movie are similar to me, is it intentionally designed like this?" The moderator asked.
"Well, the script for this drama was born really related to Korea.
I saw a Korean case on the Internet before, in 1972, the owner of a comic shop was suspected of raping and killing a seven-year-old girl, and was sentenced to more than ten years under torture, and the case was later overturned.
"The Gift of Room No. 7" was created on the prototype of this case, adding elements such as father's love, so Korean audiences may feel familiar when they see the movie. Qin Muchu replied.
What he said was what he saw in his previous life when he watched the movie review of "The Gift of Room Seven".
When the host heard Qin Muchu's answer, his face was a little disappointed.
"Has Director Qin paid attention to my country's news about you?" The moderator asked again.
Qin Muchu glanced at him and somewhat understood what the host wanted to ask.
"No, I can't read Korean."
"Then did Director Qin think about learning Korean and developing in Korea later?"
"Nope." Qin Muchu replied decisively.
The host was a little surprised, and even if he didn't have this idea in his heart, he would politely say "I will consider" and "I will definitely have the opportunity".
It was the first time for Qin Muchu to decisively refuse like this.
"Why? As far as I know, "The Gift of Room 7" has far surpassed China's box office performance in South Korea. The host was puzzled.
Qin Muchu nodded and said:
"The film has reached such a score in South Korea, and the results will basically not rise again."
Then, he calculated the account for the host.
The final result of "The Gift of Room No. 7" predicted by Korean media should reach about 10 million viewers.
South Korea has a total population of only 50 million, and 10 million moviegoers mean that nearly one-fifth of the country's people watched the movie.
The highest number of moviegoers is almost that's it.
Because the 50 million population has to be excluded from the old and the young, not everyone can watch movies, which means that the upper limit is already there.
And the Chinese population of 1.3 billion, even if only one tenth of the people go to watch a certain movie, that is a box office of billions, which is nearly a trillion won when converted into Korean won!
"So, what reason do I have to abandon the Celestial Empire to develop in Korea?"
After settling the accounts, Qin Muchu asked with a smile.
The host opened his mouth blankly and didn't speak for a long time.
Hearing Qin Muchu say this, he has a feeling that giving up the Celestial Empire to come to South Korea to mix in the entertainment industry is "an act of losing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds".
After being stunned for a while, he suddenly thought of something and said:
"But I heard that the social development of the Celestial Empire is still very backward, and there are very few movie theaters, so it is difficult for so many people to watch movies, right?"
Qin Muchu smiled, this is the common perception of the Celestial Empire in the world in this era.
Poverty and backwardness.
Including the movies in which the Celestial Empire went abroad to win awards, most of them were made of the "poor" and "evil" of the Celestial Empire in the last century.
It's not bad, society needs someone to wake it up.
But the era in which Qin Muchu lived was long after those difficult years, and he had never experienced such a time.
On the contrary, what he experienced was the twenty years of the new century in which the Celestial Empire rapidly took off.
He is not a man who is willing to sing praises, and even resent those.
But he also didn't want the world's impression of the Celestial Empire to remain in the last century.
Since he has the ability and the right to speak, he also wants to do his part to tell the world.
Here, it is not much behind other countries.
At least in terms of movies, there are people here who can make movies that are popular all over the world.
"In 2000, the highest box office of Celestial Empire movies was only 10 or 20 million, and in the past six years, this number has increased dozens of times, reaching hundreds of millions.
And that number is rising.
The Celestial Empire will soon be the box office producer of the world. ”
Qin Muchu's tone was soft, but his attitude was very firm.
He looked at the camera and said slowly:
"Soon the 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Yanjing, and when the time comes, you can go there and see it, and I believe it will be beyond your expectations.
If you have a friend who is interested in history, you will know how glorious the Celestial Empire has been in the past few thousand years, and now, we are returning to our place. ”
(For the time being, I'll change a chapter first.,I'm sleepy.,I'll write it when I wake up.,It's too busy for the New Year......
Happy New Year to all! )
