The national goddess of Korean entertainment

Xu Zhiyuan is not omnipotent, nor is she a superwoman, but she still has the most basic ability to judge the situation.

As she had seen through early on, her popularity plummeted due to the previous scandal.Even if it has been clarified, there are many artists, including several big directors, who stand by her side to help speak out, but if the popularity drops, it will fall.

Many people even blame Xu Zhiyuan for the final box office failure of "Syberger's Love", but even Park Chan-wook himself did not attribute this matter to Xu Zhiyuan.

The movie "Cyborg's Love" cannot be said to be bad-looking, but for most audiences, it is not such an easy-to-understand story.

Compared with the usual relaxed and happy love movies, this one is really too obscure.Even though Park Young-jung, who received this movie as a gift, put her arms around Park Chan-wook's arm and said that she really loves this gift, she still went to watch the hottest "Beauties Are Troubled" at the end of December.

This relaxed love movie won two consecutive championships as soon as it was released, and the momentum is amazing.It can be said that "Cyborg's Love", which has been screened for three weeks, is so overwhelming that I can't even lift my head.

"Sure enough, it's better to take it easy in love..." Park Chan-wook shrugged with a smile, he was still good-tempered towards his daughter, and even helped to ask for an autographed photo of Kim Ya-joong, the star of "Beauties Are Troubled".

Fortunately, although "Syberger's Love" failed at the box office, it received an invitation to the Berlin Film Festival.

Although Berlin hasn't officially announced it yet, jc company announced at the end of December that "Syberger's Love" will participate in the 12 Berlin Film Festival, and it will be one of the participating films.

As soon as the news was announced, the box office picked up for the week and rose by 15%. Although it was still suppressed by "Beauties Are Troubled", it returned to the fifth place in the weekly box office list.Only after the next week, the box office dropped again. Until the end of January, the total number of viewers only reached more than 1, and it didn't even rank in the top 90 of the annual total box office.

On January 1, the Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee announced the first batch of entries.Among the six films, there is "The Love of Cyborg".After that, the organizing committee announced the list one after another, and there is another Korean movie "Desert Dream".

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Lu, the director of this Korean-French joint venture film, is a Chinese. Among the Chinese who struggled in Korea, this one can be regarded as the most successful representative.However, this may be related to his identity as a Korean.Although little-known, the director is a regular at European film festivals.Prior to this, he has participated in various film festivals many times.

Unlike North American film festivals and European film festivals, there are many Asian faces. In addition to Korean films, Chinese films are the most popular at this year's Berlin Film Festival.

One is "Apple" by the female director Li Yu, and the other is "Tuya's Wedding" by the director Wang Quanan, both of which can be said to be strong rivals.

But who wins the game will not be known until February.

On January 1th, the second day after the shortlist of "Syberger's Love" was released, bof and Xu Zhiyuan held a grand signing ceremony.

Bae Yong Joon, who hadn't made a public appearance on such an occasion for a long time, personally attended the ceremony, attracting a large number of entertainment reporters to watch the ceremony.

At the ceremony, Bae Yong Joon signed the contract with Seo Ji Won on behalf of Bof, and generously gave Seo Ji Won a signing bonus of 1000 million.

Many reporters wanted to blackmail the news that Xu Zhiyuan immediately switched to another agency after becoming popular, but later found out that Xu Zhiyuan's agent was still the former Kim Dae Jong.

Could it be that bof or keyeast have made another move, wanting to acquire that—what's the name of the company?

Strange, it's just a small company, could it be that Xu Zhiyuan suddenly became an acquisition target?

The development of the situation is a bit strange. At the end of the interview, the topic of the interview was not why Seo Ji Won chose to join Bof, but did Keyeast acquire Kim Dae Jong's company?Does this mean that there will be a new wave of turmoil in the stock market.

Such speculation is somewhat ironic.

Bae Yong Joon can only reiterate again and again: "This time Xu Zhiyuanxi joined our Bof because I am very optimistic about Xu Zhiyuanxi's potential. In my opinion, she will become one of the most outstanding actresses! As for the acquisition, it is only the choice of journalists and friends." It's just a guess. Well, I would like to introduce to everyone, Director Kim Dae-jong—all reporters should know Director Kim, and he will continue to be in charge of Xu Zhiyuanxi's work and life in the future..."

Signed a contract with bof and became an artist with a backer behind him, but this situation did not immediately change Xu Zhiyuan's status quo.

On January 1, "Gongs" officially premiered. The ratings of the first episode were only 10. After the second episode, the heroine played by Xu Zhiyuan and the second actress Park Shin Hye appeared on the stage, Shanghai TV rose to 13.2. This result cannot be said to be very bad , but compared with last year's hit "Gong", this result is really disappointing.

The ratings in the second week even dropped to 13.5. Although the plot had already unfolded, the ratings did not improve at all.

On the Internet, countless fans of "Palace" are loudly criticizing "Palace" and accusing it of infringement. Even though the court has ruled that MBC can use the name "Palace" to broadcast, die-hard fans still refuse to watch "Palace". ".

"As a singer, se7en is not bad, but as an actor, he is really not qualified. Even if it was reported that director Shunji Iwai visited the filming scene and praised his acting skills, he still has no way to become a real actor. From the moment he appeared on the stage, his performance was too exaggerated, the whole character was superficial, except for a handsome skin, there was nothing else..."

This is a drama review written by a well-known film and television critic on the Internet. As soon as the review was published, it was immediately bombarded by fans of se7en Cui Dongxu.

A group of fans yelled that they must support brother's debut work, and must make "Gongs" a hit, surpassing "Gong".But such clamor can't change the ending of "Palace".

The ratings kept dropping. Even Park Shin Hye, who had debuted for many years, couldn't accept it and shed tears on the set.

Xu Zhiyuan is very frank. Although there are comments on the Internet that the ratings are poor because of Xu Zhiyuan's decline in popularity, Xu Zhiyuan does not take such remarks to heart at all.

It is true that her popularity has declined recently, but whether a TV series can become popular does not depend on her alone.

In all fairness, she has done her best. In terms of acting, she has not slackened in the slightest, and to a certain extent, her performance far surpasses the previous few plays.

"Xu Zhiyuan's acting skills are still very good. She played a cute, kind, and timid girl very well. However, this is not the Xu Zhiyuan I remembered! In "The Palace", her performance is not as good as in "Han River Monster" It's amazing, and it doesn't have the charm of "Syberger's Love". Ah, yes, it's not even as impressive as the "Flying Fish" I watched before. There are so many cute heroines that There is no personality at all, it seems too ordinary and ordinary."

The person who wrote this comment seems to be a fan who is very familiar with Xu Zhiyuan, and he pointedly pointed out the shortcomings of Yang Shunyi's character very sharply.

It's not that Xu Zhiyuan's acting is not good, but that this role has too few personal characteristics that make people shine.The better Seo Ji-won plays, and the more out of character she is, the more ordinary this role will appear.

Perhaps, fundamentally speaking, this was a failed choice, and Xu Zhiyuan should not have taken this role.The role of Yang Shunyi is not an impressive character in itself. In the world of Korean dramas, there are too many similar characters.

Holding Park Shin Hye's hand, Seo Ji Won asked with a smile: "Ah, my lover, haven't you seen the comments on the Internet that praised you? It said that although you still have baby fat, you have really grown into a beautiful big girl. "

One sentence made Park Shin Hye angry and laughing, "What baby fat! If you say that again, I will turn my face..."

Raising her eyebrows and winking at Park Shin Hye provocatively, Xu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, "Have you tried your best?"

Before Park Shin Hye could answer, she laughed: "I have tried my best! Every expression, every action, and every line, I have done my best! Park Shin Hye, we have done what we should do. How is the rating? No matter what we can control. Whether it is good or bad, we must bear it!"

Without speaking, Park Shin Hye stood up, wiped away her tears, turned around and started shooting again, as if she didn't cry behind her back.

The road of life is never smooth sailing.Xu Zhiyuan knew that she couldn't be so lucky forever. In fact, like her, she has been acting in the movies of big directors since she debuted. She is already much luckier than many people. What else can she complain about?Even now, when she is experiencing failure, she still has to face it with her chest up.

On February 2, Korean time, Seo Ji Won asked for leave from the film crew and flew to Germany.The crew of "Cyborg's Love" had already flown to Berlin first. Because she had a job, she couldn't leave the post in advance. She could only fly there two days in advance to participate in the opening ceremony. In the middle, she had to fly back to South Korea to film. Then fly to Berlin.

The schedule was as tense as hers, and Rain, early in the morning, the two had already made an appointment to take the same flight.

But Xu Zhiyuan did not expect that on the 1st, MBC's entertainment news column team contacted her, hoping to invite Xu Zhiyuan as the special host of the special program "Trip to Berlin".

As soon as this job is completed, it means that the program team will take the same flight as her. In other words, whether Rain wants to or not, she will be forced to appear on the screen.

Xu Zhiyuan didn't want to take this job, she just said that because she won't be in Berlin all the time, she couldn't accept this job.But I didn't expect MBC to do the job with the Film Association. Kim Dae Jong also strongly persuaded her to accept this job. Although the motivation for this job is a bit strange, it is always a job. Not to mention increasing exposure, the most important thing Unfortunately, this job is tantamount to working for the Film Association.

The Film Association is just an abbreviation. If you want to say the full name, it is the Korean Film Council.This semi-official committee is no1 in the Korean film industry. In other words, it is definitely a big ship.

There was no way to refuse this invitation, Xu Zhiyuan called Rain, first apologized, and then asked if the two of them missed this time?

Although she felt that half of the reason for finding her as the guest host was because of Rain, but she really didn't want to make Rain feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Rain was reasonable and didn't get angry with her. He even took the initiative to say hello to the camera when he saw the program crew at the airport.

Depart from Incheon International Airport, transfer to Frankfurt and then fly to Berlin.Although the program crew was sitting in the economy class, they still entered the first class cabin for interviews after colluding with the crew.

"Rain, "Cyborg's Love" entered the competition, which means that you will compete with George Clooney and other big-name stars for the title of Best Actor. How do you feel about this?"

From the very beginning, the official host of the program group left Xu Zhiyuan aside.

Rain's eyes flickered, and although he still had a smile on his face, he turned his head to look at Xu Zhiyuan, "I think this question should be asked to Zhiyuan! The biggest competition this year is not the best actor competition, but the best actress competition , Shatong Silang, Angelique Jolie, Jennifer Peez, every one of them is a big name. Jiwon, are you nervous?!"

Knowing that Rain asked her to appear on camera, Xu Zhiyuan covered her lips and smiled, "I'm really nervous, I think my feet must be soft when I got off the plane."

"It's okay, I will help you well." Rain smiled, not caring about showing his closeness to Xu Zhiyuan in front of others.

"Well, I think I have the same idea as Zhiyuan. It is a great thing to be shortlisted! This trip to Berlin, we want to see the style of the film festival and learn from other countries in the world. movie of……"

Smiling at Rain, Seo Ji-won added: "Besides, we want the world to know Korea and Korean movies—I think this is also one of the purposes of the show, right? It's not just for Korea to know The Berlin Film Festival, let the Berlin Film Festival understand Korean films."

The two sang together, which made the host who originally wanted to reveal the inside story had to laugh, "You two really have a tacit understanding, I'm curious, are you really dating as the rumors say—— um, rain, no Did you publicly say that Jiwon Xi is your ideal type?"

Rain laughed, turned his head to look at Xu Zhiyuan, "Ask Zhiyuan!"

Hitting rain with a smile, Seo Ji-won was still saying, "Throw me the ball, you're not a hero..." Suddenly, there was a quarrel in the passage.

Looking back, it was the aisle leading to the economy class, and someone was arguing loudly.
