Brilliant Life in the Entertainment Circle

The MV for "Timeless" took three days to shoot.

The last scene was done in the hospital.

Han Geng was lying on a white hospital bed with all kinds of tubes inserted into his body.Kim Heechul and Bum were standing by the bed, chewing gum in their mouths, the three of them were smiling and discussing what to eat in the evening after filming.

"Barbecue, it's been a long time." Jin Xiche suggested.

"Don't mind, it's easy to get angry if you eat too much of that thing. I haven't slept much in the past few days, and my mouth is bubbling." Han Geng shook the oxygen tube in his hand with a depressed expression.

"Then let's drink some ice porridge to reduce the fire. There is a shop over there in Qingtan Cave. Brother Shentong went there yesterday. It is said that after drinking it, it will reduce the fire." Qi Fan clasped his stomach and made a squatting motion on the toilet .

The three of them were happily chatting about what to eat, while Song Ya was holding a script to Li Yanxi on the other side.Today we are filming a crying scene, Song Ya didn't want Li Yanxi to use eye drops, so she mobilized her emotions while explaining. "Yanxi, my sister knows that you are young and haven't dated much, but you must have the experience of losing something you love. In fact, the emotions of all things in the world are the same in the final analysis, which touches people's hearts. Whether it is love or friendship. , or family affection..."

Li Yanxi listened carefully, actually she really wanted to understand, but for some reason, the more Song Ya talked, the more confused she became.His brows were tightly frowned, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.

At this time, Jin Baola, who was standing aside to help, came over and patted Song Ya on the shoulder: "Okay, big director, why are you talking so much! Are you tired!" Turning around, she smiled and looked at Li Yanxi , "Yanxi, it's not my sister who is scaring you, you won't be able to cry for a while, be careful about your labor costs!"

"Yes, Miss Paula!"

With just one sentence, Li Yanxi's nose turned red.

Song Ya was depressed, threw the script on the table, and went out to get some fresh air.

Regarding being a director for the first time, Song Ya's idea is to be low-key and high-key to do things. It will not be too late to announce the finished product when the MV is edited. Jin Yingmin's attitude is the same as hers. After all, she is in the entertainment industry. When doing business, it is easier to attract public attention by suppressing first and then raising.Everyone loves mystery.

It's a pity that in 2006, South Korea had already entered the era of all-people scouts.

[Today I went to a film crew to act as an extra, shit, do you know who the director is?It's Miss Yaa! 】

[Upstairs, we went to the same crew, right?I also saw sister yaa, wearing a black baseball cap!By the way, apart from her, I also saw Brother Han Geng and Brother Xiche! 】

[Wow!What you say is true? 】

[Is it a movie?Or a TV show? 】

【look forward to!By the way, isn't Sister Yaa studying directing at Chuo University?Finished product so soon! 】

Many fans came after hearing the news and left messages on S/M's official website and Song Ya's personal webpage, first asking whether the filming was true or not.After a day, neither S/M nor Song Ya came forward to clarify.Since they did not deny it, it was true. The oranges were very happy, and continued to leave messages on the Internet saying that they hoped to see the finished product as soon as possible.

Anyway, the fire can’t be contained in the paper, Song Ya asked Jin Yingmin for instructions, and after getting the verbal instruction of "everything is up to you", Song Ya put a group photo of herself with Han Geng, Cui Siyuan, and Li Yanxi on the official website, and posted Accompanied by text: live up to expectations.As soon as the news came out, there were three waves.Especially Han Geng's fans, since his debut, due to his status, his resources have been inferior to Korean local artists, which makes fans who love him, especially those from China, very angry.

Many people don't know some laws and regulations in South Korea, so they just throw their anger at S/M company.

[What's wrong with the Chinese?Koreans are awesome! 】

[If there is no brother Han Geng, who here would know about SJ?Since he was signed at the beginning, he should be treated equally now. For Mao Korean artists can appear in variety shows, but we, Han Geng, can't? ! 】

【To be honest, if S/M continues to do this, we will boycott SJ. 】

[Brother Han Geng, come back, the motherland is still the warmest. 】

In addition to the "fairies" in China, the local "fairies" in South Korea also expressed dissatisfaction with the company's cowardly approach.One day, after Han Geng was absent from SJ’s activities on a certain TV station due to his “Chinese identity”, the goblins rushed to the downstairs of the S/M company, sat quietly from noon to night, and then typed “Treat each other equally” with the lights of their mobile phones.

In the next few days, in addition to the Korean local media, Hong Kong, China, Wanwan, and many influential media in the Mainland also reported on the matter.For a while, S/M Company and the Korean Artists Association were pushed to the forefront.

KBS even made a program to discuss whether the existing "entertainer law" can keep up with the times when the Hallyu is so influential.What needs to be improved?How to improve?Which outdated legal provisions should be abolished have been discussed in detail and intensely in the program.

S/M thought that Han Geng would be popular, but they didn't expect it to become popular so quickly.

On the day Song Ya entered the studio to start editing the video, she received a call from Jin Yingmin.After chatting for a while, what a pain, the president treats you to dinner when he has time, so he opened his mouth and said: "Yami, have you heard that there have been some reports on SJ and Han Gengxi in China recently, The response is said to be good.”

Dazed for a moment, Song Ya quickly reacted. "Yes, I have also read the reports you mentioned. I am really happy for the company and SJ. China has a vast territory and a large population. It is a huge market. Actually, I just called you just now and wanted to ask you, Do we want to take advantage of the situation and add a few more shots of Han Gengxi in the MV, the script was drafted a bit hastily at the beginning, I always felt that there were too few shots of Han Gengxi."

Was the script set hastily?

Hehe, Song Ya wanted to slap her own mouth when she said this, it's really self-abuse, okay? !The 10-minute plot was written out of more than four minutes of music. The script written by the original writer was only a rough outline, and she had to make every detail concrete.

She wrote the script for five full days and revised it repeatedly, but she only said that she wrote it for a day and a half.The main reason is that I don't want Jin Yingmin to underestimate her.Sometimes, if a person wants to succeed, what should be hidden must be hidden.

In fact, when writing the script, she kept an eye on it and added a lot of scenes of Han Geng, although in the end, the person in charge of the company's review/examination deleted two-thirds of it on the grounds that "it's best not to cause trouble". But during filming, Song Ya still stubbornly took those pre-written shots one by one.At that time, Li Xinyan scolded her: "Since no one wants to shoot it, why waste all that time? It can be done in two days, but now you have to wait another day, Yamei, I didn't blame you, you are too stupid It’s useless to stay up all night.”

Useless work?Now it seems that she is a fool and a fool.

********

Tape editing is not an easy task. Song Ya and the editor discussed repeatedly for a day. According to the meaning of the lyrics, comparing the shot, sentence by sentence, or even word by word, they finally shortened the original 10-minute plot to 6 in the early morning. minute.

But the song is only 4:10, even with the opening and prologue, it will only last 5 minutes at most, so what about the extra minute?

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, Song Ya really doesn't know how to choose.remove this paragraph?No, if this paragraph is removed, it will not be possible to fully present the heroine's longing for her boyfriend.Then remove this paragraph?No, no, Choi Siwon performed very well in this scene, he has matured beyond his age, and he only took one shot at that time, if it was cut, it would definitely hurt his self-confidence.The point is it's a pity, hey...

Her indecision also affected editor Dillon.

Dillon is very famous, and has been an editor for ten years. He produced many MVs for the main albums of Shinhwa, TVXQ, and Boa.But after a whole day, he couldn't keep his eyes on it anymore.

"Yaa, I know that you are like a mother when you are facing the work at this moment, loving every second, and can't let go of every second, but, with all due respect, sometimes being a director has to be ruthless!"

"I'm already very cruel." Song Ya covered her forehead with a tired face, "However, I really can't let go of this last minute, as you saw just now, every shot is perfect, they have the right to meet the audience , rather than being thrown into storage as video trash."

"They won't be treated as rubbish, dear, you are so good, you won't just be a director once, maybe these shots can be used as your source of inspiration in the future." Dillon persuaded.It is said that he was not so tired when he edited the MV for TVXQ. "Really, yaa, listen to me, use the first plan, remove the extra one minute and seven seconds, and the rest is definitely the most appropriate. Sometimes, the camera only needs to be clicked to the end, so as to leave Space for the audience to imagine, OK?"

Dillon has experience and is a gold medal editor. Of course Song Ya believes in his words, but...

"How about this, Dillon, it's early morning now, I'm sorry to delay your rest, why don't you go home first, I'll stay here alone—"

"What are you doing here?!" Dillon interrupted her, staring at a pair of bloodshot eyes, "I need to rest, don't you? I didn’t eat it, but I still ate a piece of pizza!”

"I'm not hungry." Song Ya smiled weakly.

"Aren't you hungry? I think you're masochistic!" Dillon raised his arms and said angrily, "Again, the version I made is the best. You listen to me and make it quickly. We can go back quickly after we finish it." Home."

The editing room is in a university, in fact Dillon is worried about leaving Song Ya here alone.

Song Ya understood, so she smiled knowingly: "It's okay, Dillon, this is a university, the environment is very safe, and... I beg you, let me think again."

Just as Dillon was about to open his mouth, Song Ya quickly raised her hand to interrupt him. "I know you are doing it for my own good, but no matter what, I have to finish this MV before dawn today. Moreover, the editing is done in the way I imagined."

"Okay, honey, since you insist." Dillon spread his hands, "By the way, do you want something to eat? I'll buy it for you."

"No need." Song Ya smiled at Dillon, "Remember to be safe when driving home. Because you have to help me see the finished product tomorrow!"

"Okay... ancestors!"

There was no heating in the editing room, and the room only felt colder when Dillon left.Song Ya sat on a chair wearing a thick blanket, and watched the 6-minute MV several times.But as before, she couldn't bear to cut it off at any second.

It's time to go outside for some air.

Song Ya came outside wearing a blanket with a haggard face.

The night sky in early spring was very clear and clean, she casually lit a cigarette, and looked up at the starry sky thinking about the MV.She knew what Dillon said was right, no matter how much you love, there will always be a part that will be cruelly removed in the end, but she took a deep puff on the cigarette, and she was always dissatisfied with the version Dillon made.

Just when Song Ya was thinking seriously, a person slowly approached her.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that even though the man was very close, she still didn't realize it.The cigarette ash fell to the ground, and the man frowned when he saw the cigarette in her hand and her dazed look.

Gently reaching out his hand, the man snatched the cigarette from Song Ya's hand.

ah!Song Ya was taken aback, thinking it was a university administrator.In South Korea, smoking is not allowed in many universities.

"Isn't it...Yincheng Ouba?" Song Ya couldn't help being taken aback when she recognized the person.

"Yeah." Zhao Yincheng stood in a black woolen coat in the bright night, holding a cigarette with his slender fingers, and looked at it through the light. He couldn't help but looked at Song Ya worriedly: "Smoking such a strong cigarette, is it right?" Have you encountered trouble?"
