The Rise of Korean Entertainment

As the members of the group fell out in front of each other, the plot of the third episode became more and more tense. At the same time, the audience couldn't help but think about why it has reached this point.

Xu Xian has laid the groundwork for almost half an episode, so the audience has sufficient material to express themselves and analyze the possibilities.

But no matter how you analyze it, you can't escape the word profit, and no matter how you analyze it, you feel sorry for them.

The five people have completely different considerations, and they all make sense from their own standpoints, but no one considers each other or their fans.

The kindness they had towards each other in the past seemed to no longer exist. At least in the face of interests, they seemed to care about nothing.

Ordinary viewers may only understand it in terms of money, but as an insider, Yoo Jae Suk knows that the reasons are actually very complicated.

He believed that if it was simply a question of money, there would be some possibility for this group of people to compromise.

Emotionally speaking, they are sisters who have gone through ups and downs together. They have spent more time together than their parents over the years. It would be a lie to say that they have no feelings at all.

From a rational point of view, only by getting together and continuing to act in the name of the group can members maximize their interests. I believe many people can understand this.

But how can it be so simple? It involves many aspects, including but not limited to money, resource allocation, long-term planning, personal team wishes, etc.

The reasons why the five people don't want to renew their contracts are probably completely different. Some just want to take a break after making enough money, some want to be actors instead of being singers, and some simply want more money. .

When they first debuted, everyone was focused on trying to become famous, but after they become famous, they will find that they want more.

If I have to sum it up simply, among the situations where the contract cannot be renewed, the most common situation is when the most popular team member chooses to go solo, which is an almost unsolvable situation.

Even for a popular group like them, the popularity of the members still varies.

Although it cannot be said that one person is dragging the whole group forward, after all, the group also has many fans, but in terms of personal development, there are indeed people who need to stay in the group more.

And this involves a very core pain point: Do those who need to stay in the group get less? How specific should this be? Can you understand the psychology?

Even the one who got more needs to do psychological work. Maybe she thought that she would develop better if she went solo, and it was enough to stay here, but the combination delayed her development.

Selfish thoughts will eventually exist, especially when there are many outsiders' opinions mixed in, the situation will be more complicated.

At least among the reasons why the group disbanded that Liu Zaishi learned about, this point accounts for most, and there are few things that can be discussed.

The final direction of the girl group on TV was also in line with his understanding. Five people signed with three different companies. Only two people from the original company were left, reluctantly operating under the name of a small team.

No one may have achieved a real victory in this farce. It can only be said that adults chose a less romantic and realistic way to end based on reality. The only ones who are really sad should be their fans, right?

Seohyun also left the final ending of this episode to the fans, which really tricked the audience into tears.

In the final scene this time, Seohyun also showed off a little skill by shooting it from a first-person lens, that is, the picture captured by the camera is the perspective of the audience, which directly increases the sense of immersion.

There was still no dialogue sound, and the background audio was playing the group's songs, and the sound was not that clear, just like an old-fashioned tape.

Through the display of the camera, everyone can tell that this person is a fan of the group, because the room is full of various group peripherals.

The camera gave a close-up of the calendar, with many dates circled in asterisk pens, and then the man grabbed his backpack and set off.

Walking, taking buses, queuing, a series of shots flashed by quickly, and when it stabilized again, there were already people around.

The information is still conveyed simply through camera changes. This should be a promotional activity for the actor who became an actor after his solo career.

When the fan reached the first place in line, she took out a poster of five people from "off camera" and asked that person to sign it.

This moment was truly an eternity. Countless scenes seemed to flash through the eyes of the actor opposite. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just showed a regretful smile, and then signed his name under his portrait with a big pen. .

At this moment, the audience really wanted to hear the live conversation and the voices of the two people, but Seohyun did not give everyone this opportunity.

The lens was illusive at first and then solidified again. It was still pointed at the calendar. The previous day had been blacked out, and the time had reached the next noted date.

The same process repeated over and over again. At the filming site of the variety show and the comeback stage, fans obtained five autographs.

The members of the group were in a daze for a moment when they saw this poster. As for what they thought, only they themselves may know.

The camera turned back to the small room again, where five signed posters were spread out on the table, and a pair of hands were carefully tracing the team's names on them.

At this time, through a close-up shot, everyone could see that the posters of the five people were actually spliced ​​together. They were what they looked like after they disbanded, but they were forced together by this fan.

When the name of the group was written, a gentle sigh came from the screen, a mixture of helplessness and relief.

A gust of wind blew in, and the calendar pages on the side were quickly turned over. There were no longer any marks on them. This fan finally disbanded the group.

The third episode has come to an end here, and various behind-the-scenes footage from the filming has begun to appear on the screen, which looks very relaxing.

But no one at the scene laughed. Even Kim Taeyeon and Yoona, who had watched it beforehand, still felt very sour in their hearts.

They also asked Xu Xian what the specific meaning of the last set of shots was, but Xu Xian smiled mysteriously and did not give any answer.

Not even the girls had the answer, let alone the audience, so they could only guess.

However, there are many things to say, but the most widely recognized statement is to express regret, or the helplessness of fans.

The disbandment of a group is not just when a few people separate, but when they completely disappear from the memory of fans!

Maybe it wasn't that obvious when it first aired, but after watching three episodes this time, everyone realized that these memories are really important to fans, and they are already part of their memories and youth.

And the more precious these memories are, the more reluctant everyone is to let them dissipate.

But what should I say? Xu Xian used three episodes and three different stages of the girl group to show everyone a completely different world.

There are laughter, tears, beauty and deep helplessness, but they are all part of the memory after all, even if the memory is not so perfect.

Of course, these are just some sentimental comments on the Internet, and it is not uncommon for people to accuse Xu Xian of whitewashing these girl groups.

But Xu Xian has been debuting for so many years. To put it bluntly, those who scolded them can't come up with anything new.

If Seohyun still cares about them, then Seohyun has really been an idol for nothing for so many years.

Besides, the mainstream opinions on the Internet are still mainly based on praise. Even if we don’t mention the ideas Seohyun wanted to convey during the period, the TV series itself is already quite amazing. There is really no need to criticize except that it is a little short. .

Putting aside the heavier core of the entertainment industry, Seohyun also packed many emotions that ordinary people can relate to in just three episodes.

The friendship of working together with partners for the same goal, the courage to pursue dreams even though you know there is little hope, the regret that will only come after separation...

For Xu Xian, this TV series is more like a summary of her previous acting career, and she is very satisfied, even a little proud and grateful.

Naturally, there are many people to be grateful to, including the staff and girls, including Li Menglong. After thinking of this, Xu Xian couldn't help but secretly pulled Li Menglong's hand.

Xu Xian's action itself had no special meaning. It was just to let Li Menglong look at her and make eye contact, so that he could also know his gratitude.

It's just that although Li Menglong looked over, he obviously misunderstood: "You don't want to stay with these people anymore, do you? Bear with it, they are all acquaintances, it is not good to leave first."

Xu Xian was really stunned when he heard this. How did Li Menglong see this meaning from her eyes?

Besides, even if she really thinks so in her heart, if even Li Menglong knows it, will she, Xu Xian, not know it? How could she show it!

But Xu Xian was not the only one who heard Li Menglong's words. A group of people on the opposite side also looked over.

They obviously didn't quite understand what happened, but they also had their own understanding: they must have been too involved before, and they didn't praise Xu Xian after it was over. This was really too much.

Since Xu Xian has shown it, everyone will naturally have to make up for it. Besides, they also want to praise Xu Xian in their hearts. There is no doubt about this.

As a result, Xu Xian was miserable. Several women were forced to surround her in the center and praised her in various ways. Xu Xian didn't know how to deal with it.

As for Yoo Jae Suk, he did not participate. After all, he could see Seohyun's embarrassment. If he also joined, Seohyun might cry.

"Is it appropriate for you to bully Xiaoxian like this?" Liu Zaishi turned around and framed Li Menglong.

But this is not Xu Xian. He didn’t dare to talk back when he suffered a loss: “Don’t talk nonsense without evidence. Besides, even if it’s true bullying, it’s our brother and sister’s business. How can you, an outsider, talk so much?” .”

"Isn't it okay to see rough roads?"

"Then you should do it. If I don't beat the shit out of you, you'll be clean!" Li Menglong replied fiercely.

Faced with these disgusting words, Liu Zaishi didn't bother to reply. Even Li Menglong knew to keep his voice down to avoid letting those women hear him. He was not a fool.

If the two of them really hurt each other, he would most likely suffer in the end. Besides, now is Xu Xian's moment, so the two of them should not make things worse for themselves.

Directly skipping the topic, Yoo Jae Suk turned to chatting with Lee Meng Yong: "This TV series is of high quality, right? Is there any hope of winning an award?"

Even though Yoo Jae Suk is a know-it-all in variety shows, variety shows seem to be closely related to TV series. After all, they are all broadcast on the same platform.

But if you really want to talk about it, the two can be regarded as separated by mountains. He really doesn't know the specific matters about TV dramas better than Li Menglong, such as awards and so on.

How should I put this actually? The company has already begun operations. Otherwise, is it really just waiting for the award to fall into the stomach?

In fact, after the shooting was completed and the samples were available, someone in the company proposed the idea and received a certain amount of support.

However, at that time, no one expected the current response and praise, so at that time, they simply wanted to win some personal honor for Xu Xian. Even if the results were not good, at least it would be good for Xu Xian's personal image.

However, the current goal is more than that, and as the goal expands, the company pays more and more attention to it, which can be seen from the huge public relations expenses alone.

As for how these expenses will be spent specifically, this requires a certain amount of wisdom. There is really no such thing as giving money directly.

Firstly, the impact of being caught would be too great, and secondly, there are too many judges who give awards to each one. If everyone gives one, how much should be given?

Therefore, this money may be turned into a donation to a certain fund, a souvenir for a certain seminar, or a meal expense for a dinner party held by an organization.

In short, these are not things that Li Menglong should worry about. He only needs to know what awards Seohyunhe may win for this drama.

To put it simply, because Seohyun's drama only has three episodes, it suffers a loss but also gains some advantages.

The disadvantage is mainly for the actors. Even if the performance is outstanding, they may not even be nominated because it is too short.

However, the advantage is due to the number of episodes. This type of TV series does not need to compete with the main drama, and it is likely to be divided into a separate category.

In this way, the pressure of competition will be much reduced, and it can even be said that Xu Xian can prepare his acceptance speech in advance.

But it is also a pity that there are very few awards for these three-episode, one-act dramas, and many large award ceremonies will not list them separately.

Therefore, there are not many awards that Xu Xian can participate in, but as long as there is this award, her probability of winning is extremely high.

This is enough for Xu Xian. After all, she is different from ordinary directors. She has a great reputation. These awards are the icing on the cake for her.

It is estimated that this little girl will be shy for a while longer.
