The splendid life of Korean entertainment

One day in early March, Song Ya went back to the company to do some chores, and the president Jin Yingmin happened to be there, so she was invited to have lunch.Unlike in the past, now Kim Young Min also regards Song Ya as a treasure.Not only did she openly follow Song Ya's habits in many things, but a few days ago the company's board of directors was reorganized, and Jin Yingmin also took care of Song Ya and asked her to buy a lot of shares at a very low price.

To put it bluntly, Song Ya is no longer a migrant worker who just lives by looking at people's faces. She is a shareholder. Although she doesn't have many shares, she also has a status in the company.When meeting Kim Jae Jong at the premiere of "The Rich Man" last time, Song Ya patted his head and teased him: "Zai Zhong, you have to sing to earn money for your sister. If you don't obey, believe it or not, my sister will hide you immediately!"

"I believe..." Zaizhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rolled a huge white eye to her who was bullying others.

"Apart from the filming of "Seven Princesses", what else are you busy with recently?" Jin Yingmin asked Song Ya with a smile during the meal.

"Busy to go to school." Song Ya said, "I stayed in Japan and the United States for too long last year, which made my homework here too much. Other students have already started on the right track, but I am still on the same track, so I haven't received much attention this year. I want to catch up with my homework quickly."

Jin Yingmin nodded her head. Ever since she took off her tinted glasses, Jin Yingmin discovered that Song Ya has many advantages that artists of her age do not have.She is mature in mind, knows how to repay her kindness, and also understands what she wants. She is very self-motivated and does not only focus on immediate interests, but has quite mature plans for the future.

"I remember you majored in directing, right?" He asked after taking a sip of red wine.

"Yes, Seoul Central University."

"Heh, a prestigious school." As the president, Jin Yingmin has a lot of things to do every day, and he really didn't know which university Song Ya studied in before. "How do you feel about directing? Is it difficult to learn?"

Song Ya smiled sheepishly: "...it is more difficult to learn than imagined."

Compared with an actor, the director is more like a big housekeeper. In addition to being responsible for filming, he also has to take care of many off-site things that have nothing to do with filming. A few days ago, the famous Korean director Kang Di-gyu, who is a visiting professor at Central University Song Ya said: "yaa, learn it hard, the profession of directing is very deep, from my experience, don't think about how to make a good movie, but think about how to finish a movie from beginning to end."

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean." Acting since childhood, and living a lifetime longer than others, Song Ya thinks that although it is difficult to be a director, it is not difficult to go to the sky, but Jiang Digui's expression seems to be going up the knife mountain. Like a sea of ​​flames.Can't it?Song Ya thought, as long as no one deliberately made trouble, or the producer suddenly withdrew the funds, everything would be fine.

"Don't understand? It's okay, you'll understand slowly." Jiang Digui smiled, "I'm telling you this, just to tell you that if you really like it, then no matter how difficult things you encounter later, don't give up easily. "

Although the more she listened, the more confused she became, Song Ya still said respectfully: "Thank you, I won't give up easily."

Every other line is like a mountain, Song Ya understands that it must be difficult to learn a new profession. She is not a genius, so she dare not say some publicity words such as "it's okay" or "that's it, I can handle it". Dare to say, but after staying in Korea for a few years, although the time is not long, Song Ya feels that her temperament is changing rapidly. The original arrogance and domineering have long since disappeared, replaced by the introverted and humble Orientals.

Song Ya doesn't feel that there is anything to be ashamed or aggrieved, except that she is different from other Korean actors in terms of her attitude towards anti-fans and the lower status of female artists, and she agrees with the rest, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable. It can be accepted without psychological shadow.After all, survival of the fittest.

Seeing Song Ya's modest face, Jin Yingmin smiled in relief. "It doesn't matter if it is difficult to learn, as long as you put your heart into it. Directors are the same as actors, sometimes it is also based on experience. I remember an old saying in China, as long as the skill is deep, the iron pestle can be ground into a needle. This is the truth. You may become fat if you eat it in one bite. Be patient, I believe in Yamixi's ability."

"Thank you, President." Song Ya stood up and bowed slightly.

"Don't be like this. You're not an outsider. Sit down." Jin Yingmin waved his hand, with an amiable smile on his face, took a sip of red wine, and said, "That's it. Xi's debut time is ahead of schedule, probably at the end of this month, the recording of the song has already started, it is "timeless" duet with Kim Junsu Xi."

Zhang Liyin, this name is known to everyone in SM.Even though the original president Li Xiuman fled to the United States due to a financial case, he still did not forget to ask someone to bring back the news, and he must take good care of Zhang Liyin.It can be seen how much he values ​​her.Zhang Liyin is Chinese. She was born in 1989. She just turned 18 this year. She came to Korea in 2003. She first signed with drmusic, the owner of babyvox. Later, due to different development concepts, Zhang Liyin terminated the contract and joined SM in 2004.

Regardless of his young age, Zhang Liyin has a perfect voice and excellent singing skills. He is a rare talent in the music world.Moreover, she was born in a musical family. Although she is not as beautiful as Jessica and Taeyeon at the same age, she has a dignified and classic temperament, which makes people look very comfortable.

Back then, Zhang Liyin, who was also Li Xiuman’s valued person, was never troubled by Kim Youngmin, and his trainee career went smoothly. Now that Li Xiuman is still in prison, Jin Yingmin can’t wait to push her into the music scene. There are tactical considerations in this, After all, SM has launched two supreme boy groups in a row, and the female singers are indeed weaker. Except for Baoer, the others are not good. Moreover, Zhang Liyin's strength really leaves Kim Youngmin speechless.

It has to be said that some people are born to belong to the stage.

"Zhang Li Yinxi has a unique voice and excellent singing skills. I am so happy that she can debut." Although she is not very familiar with the other party, Song Ya is still happy for her only little sister.Presumably, the company also values ​​this newcomer very much, and a series of promotional activities may have already begun preparations.

Sure enough, Jin Yingmin smiled and said: "That's right, the whole company values ​​Zhang Liyinxi's debut very much. In addition to singing the song with Junxiuxi, I also plan to shoot an MV for this song."

mv?Song Ya was taken aback.I only heard Jin Yingmin continue to say: "I have already asked someone to draft a few scripts for the MV. As for the actors, I plan to find them from internal artists. Everything else is easy to say, but this director is not easy to find. I intend to find a big name, but it is a MV. Shooting, who will come? But if I find someone who is not famous, I am not reconciled." He lowered his head and smiled, and looked at Song Ya meaningfully: "Hehe, I am actually not reconciled. With such a good staffing, MV no matter No matter what you shoot, it will be popular, if you find an outsider, wouldn’t it be cheaper for him? I made a wedding dress for someone else for no reason, and I will not agree to it.”

Only then did Song Ya understand the meaning behind Jin Yingmin's words.If the director doesn't invite big-name people to come, and the unknown ones are afraid of losing resources, they can only find them from within the company. But as far as Song Ya knows, she is the only one who studies film in the entire sm, from directors to trainees.

However, she has only studied directing for a year, and she hasn't learned the superficiality yet, so how can she dare to take on this important task?But after thinking about it, this opportunity is really rare.Regardless of the shooting level, this MV will definitely become popular if it is sung by Jin Junxiu. Maybe fans will not have too high requirements for the quality of the MV because of the singer's face.Gritting her teeth, Song Ya stood up, holding a red wine glass in her hand, and said to Jin Yingmin respectfully: "President, if you are still at ease with me, please give me this opportunity. Although I am not the director experience, but I guarantee that I will do my best to complete it.”

Jin Yingmin raised her head and laughed, and raised her finger to Song Ya: "Yamei, what I'm waiting for is your words. So, I'm going to put my words here today, as long as they serve the MV, all artists will listen to you."

"Thank you boss!"

Song Ya looked smug.

*********

There is a saying that is good, if you are not in charge of your family, you will not know how expensive it is.Ever since she took over the job of directing the MV, Song Ya understood what it meant to be clueless.Song Ya is of course inexperienced as a director for the first time. Fortunately, she doesn't have to worry about funding, as Jin Yingmin has already taken care of it for her.So what to do next?At this time, Li Xinyan crossed a sentence: "Yami, I think the script is the most important, we should choose the script first."

Yes, yes, Song Ya felt that she was so busy and confused that she forgot such an important thing as the script. "I heard that several scripts were sent yesterday, have you read them all?" Song Ya was very relieved of Li Xinyan, so when she was busy, she asked her to help choose.

Li Xinyan shook her head: "The plots are very ordinary, nothing new, and one of them is actually a comedy ending, do you think this person didn't read the lyrics carefully when he wrote it?"

"timeless", eternal.Because Zhang Liyin is Chinese, and SM also has the idea of ​​exploring the Chinese market, so there will be two versions of this song in China and Korea.Just looking at the lyrics, you can tell that this song is about separation and farewell.It's a bit of a tragedy that Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu can't be together in life, and can't be buried in the same cave when they die.

"Just throw it aside if you think it's inappropriate. Don't get angry over such trivial things. Besides, everyone's understanding of lyrics is different. Maybe people think it's a happy reunion." Song Ya persuaded while busy Li Xinyan.

After a while, Li Xinyan took out a script: "Yami, take a look at this. I think the author's writing is good, but it's a bit sci-fi and unreal."

Science fiction?Song Ya was aroused by this word, she put down her busy work, took over the script and read it carefully.

Unexpectedly, unlike the scripts I have seen before, this story goes straight to the climax at the very beginning. The girlfriend is hijacked by the kidnappers. The boyfriend who is a policeman confronts the kidnappers in order to save his girlfriend. In the end, he is shot in the head by the kidnappers and becomes Vegetative state... One year later, the hospital declared him brain dead, his internal organs were taken out, and his heart was implanted into a man... Coincidentally, the person who received the heart transplant was the robber...

For some reason, after reading the whole story, Song Ya fell into silence, her heart felt like she was about to get sick, and felt uncomfortable for a while.

This is a good story!

Song Ya thought definitely.but……

"How about it, is it very sci-fi?" Seeing that Song Ya didn't change for a long time, Li Xinyan asked with a smile, "Let me just say, how can a person change his heart, and his retina is almost the same."

correct!Li Xinyan's words made Song Ya suddenly remember that she had watched a Hong Kong movie called "Damn" a long time ago, which was about a girl who underwent retinal surgery, and then could see some non-human creatures... No wonder I thought this plot just now Deja vu does not mean that they are exactly the same or plagiarized, but that they give people the same feeling, that is, they are moved and uncomfortable, and they want to cry but can't cry.

Sure enough, it is a Korean screenwriter who can always write "sorrow" just right.

"That's it." Song Ya finally said.I glanced at the script again, and my mind was like a movie, and the characters in it gradually came to life. "Next, we should choose actors."

Li Xinyan nodded and asked, "Who do you prefer? Before, the president has already politely refused you to use Jessica."

Song Ya sighed. In fact, she really wanted to use Jessica as the heroine. Jessica came to the company very early and was very capable, but she was never reused. Sometimes the little girl would call Song Ya to complain: " Sister, do you think the president really hates me? Li Yanxixi and Zhang Liyinxi are about to debut, but I am still a trainee. In fact, I am not afraid of hard work, but waiting indefinitely is really hard..."

"Since Jessica is not successful, let's still use Li Yanxixi. After all, she is the main newcomer this year. I guess the president wants to use her, but I'm sorry to say that."

"What about the actor?" Li Xinyan flipped through the script, "There are two protagonists, who are you going to find? Kim Jae Jongxi?"

Song Ya shook her head: "I'm afraid Zai Zhong won't succeed. Now is the time when the Japanese tour is the most strenuous. His leg has not fully recovered since he had a car accident last year. Don't let him run back and forth." For a moment, "What do you think of Shi Yuan?"

"Shi Yuan?" Li Xinyan was stunned for a moment, "Shi Yuan is not bad, but he is a bit younger. Actually, I am more optimistic about Han Gengxi."

Han Geng?
