The Rise of Korean Entertainment

In a not particularly short opening, Li Menglong spent more than ten minutes showing everyone the inner aspects of this drama without any background narration.

A good start is half the battle, and the same applies to TV series, and you don’t have to watch the entire first episode. All the attractive selling points were cleverly brought out by Li Menglong in the short beginning without any introduction.

The characters of the male and female protagonists, the super-powered aliens, the private life of the female idol, and even the determination of the joyful tone of the entire drama. Of course, if you are serious, you can also see Li Menglong's requirements for actors' acting skills.

As for this light comedy mode, it can be regarded as Li Menglong's adventure, because compared to the traditional mature idol drama routine, no one knows whether anyone will like Li Menglong's style.

And to be fair, at least in Li Menglong's opinion, it is much harder to make people laugh than to cry. Just keep abusing the hero and heroine to make them cry. No matter how miserable it is, amnesia, cancer, and car accidents can all be considered. no.

However, making the audience laugh and smile for a long time requires much more effort. Whether it is the script itself or the actors, they must have sufficient knowledge of the laugh points, and the laugh points must appear rhythmically.

It's just that these shouldn't be considered by ordinary viewers, they should be considered by investment companies, but isn't Li Menglong equivalent to the company, so he can shoot as he wants, and Li Enxi doesn't come to take care of it.

After all, please answer your biological children now. Free-range people like Li Menglong can just fend for themselves. Anyway, if you lose money, you can just come to Li Menglong to make a list.

One third of the episode has passed, and Li Menglong finally began to explain some of the doubts in their hearts to the audience. With Li Guangshu's self-narration, everyone knew that he was an alien, that he had lived for so long, and that His superpowers aren't that easy to use either.

The sense of rhythm is formed little by little, although many people, including actors, are not aware of it, and even many directors are lacking in this aspect.

Rhythm has a rigid template, such as the classic three-part structure: beginning, climax, and end. However, the vast majority of successful directors have their own experience and talents in this aspect.

And Li Menglong does have a sensitivity that is different from ordinary people in this regard. This kind of thing cannot be said but can be vaguely felt. For example, at the beginning, Li Menglong continuously threw out various conflicts, contradictions, and unknowns.

However, the audience has not been bored yet. You must know that just asking questions without answers can also arouse people's disgust, but Li Menglong's method is more clever.

Just when the audience's accumulation was about to reach a critical value, it was like a wave. After the wave, Li Menglong gave everyone a moment to relax, so that they could drink water, check their mobile phones, and watch Lee Kwang Soo on TV as if he was a male god. Generally show off.

Feeling that everyone was almost rested, Li Menglong immediately threw out a new conflict, which made people feel very comfortable. He smiled without saying anything. Although he was confused, he was not worried.

As the episode entered the second half, Yoona's background began to be explained. She was a popular actress who went solo after the idol group disbanded. Although her name was Cheon Song Yi, all the long-cherished people looked at this setting. Why is the sense of substitution so strong?

Lee Mong-ryong doesn't seem to be against using Girls' Generation as a background at all. Kim Taeyeon is a member who was kicked out of Girls' Generation when she was a trainee. Although it doesn't say it's Girls' Generation here, it seems that this meaning is coming again. .

Who knows that Girls' Generation belongs to another company? Although I was a little bit unhappy when I watched it, I didn't stop following the drama enthusiastically, especially after seeing Yoona's various behaviors that were very middle-class.

If Lee Kwang Soo's funny side is the straight-forward type that can be seen at a glance, then Yoona's funny side obviously requires at least one twist.

For example, when Yoona didn't have enough credits and had to go to class and found out that the professor was Lee Kwang Soo, her expression was so wonderful that she could open a dyeing workshop.

This kind of long-paced laugh line can easily make the audience feel satisfied, as if they discovered the laugh line themselves. Of course, the laugh line itself is also interesting enough.

After a ridiculous classroom comedy, Yoona had to block Lee Kwang Soo when no one was around: "That professor, we are really destined. Even if the neighbors don't tell me, I am still your student!"

"Then……"

"Well, I'm a star. You know this. See if you can be a little more interesting in normal times!" Yoona slightly left a gap between her index finger and thumb.

"This means..."

"It's annoying, don't you know?" Yoona smiled innocently and lightly hit his shoulder: "It's just that I'm occasionally absent from homework, exams..."

"Those who are absent more than three times will be disqualified from the exam, those who fail to submit their homework five times will be disqualified from the exam, and those who fail the exam or make-up exam will have to retake the exam!" Li Guangzhu said expressionlessly: "Oh, I can remind you that my class fails every year. The subject rate is the highest in the school!”

Every time Li Guangzhu said a condition, Yoona took a step back as if someone was hammering her chest, and finally slumped down on the table: "Are you...are you a man?"

"First of all, I'm a teacher!" Li Guangzhu stood at the door and added: "Secondly, even as a man, you are not my type! You're welcome!"

"Ah! I thank you and your whole family!" Yoona covered her chest and shouted at the door. Is Lin Yoona's beauty so ignored? Is she destined not to graduate?

"I'm not done with you! Just wait for me, you brat!" Yoona shouted loudly.

Li Guangzhu, who had walked far away, plucked his ears: "Why are you talking so loudly? It's not like I can't hear you! Why don't you go out and avoid the limelight? After all, you are being threatened!"

Maybe it was because he felt that an alien with superpowers was afraid of being embarrassed by an earthly woman. Lee Kwang Soo shook his head and continued riding a bicycle home. This shot took a lot of effort from Lee Menglong.

Facing the sunset, with the tree-lined road next to the school, wearing a black formal suit and a bicycle, at least these few seconds of pictures can be directly used as a pictorial. Lee Kwang-soo dressed up for two hours for this shot, striving to show The most handsome side.

Although I don’t know how many fans will be attracted by this scene, they at least tried their best. The episode has come to an end here, and the suspense has been buried. It can be seen that there will be many more intersections between Yoona and Lee Kwang Soo.

This time it’s not so unconventional. At the end, the names of the staff, the thank yous from the sponsoring brands, etc. are all displayed. Normally, these are played together with the trailer or theme song at the end of the film.

But Lee Menglong played a new trick. First, he hid Kim Taeyeon's theme song. At least until now, this song has not appeared on TV, so it can be regarded as a secret weapon.

Secondly, after the preview and subtitles ended, just when the audience was accustomed to leave, there was still a picture, so many viewers who were about to go to the bathroom looked at the TV again.

In the camera, Yoona was seen sitting in the nanny car, seemingly waiting for a red light, but she accidentally spotted a billboard on the side. When the camera showed a close-up of the billboard, nine members of Girls' Generation appeared in it. .

A mouthful of my long-cherished wish almost spurted out my blood. I originally said that Li Menglong would not let go of Girls' Generation, but should he do it so quickly? Still at the end.

Yoona herself often stood in the center when she was doing pictorials for Girls' Generation, and her name was not a joke, but it seems that Yoona is much quieter now.

The manager in front also gently persuaded: "Has Ernie not contacted them yet? Many fans are looking forward to your reunion!"

"Nine people, it's not as simple as it sounds!" Yoona said silently: "Besides, each of them has their own affairs now. Sunny Unnie is so fat and Hyoyeon Unnie seems to have lost his love again..." There is a lot of background information in one paragraph, and it seems that the girls in this drama are not getting along well.

After saying this, Yoona felt waves of chills in the university cafeteria. Fortunately, it wasn't over yet and everyone couldn't take care of her for the time being.

"gee gee..." With Yoona's murmuring getting smaller and smaller, the screen no longer moved with Yoona, but instead focused on the billboard, on the bright smiles of the nine girls, and finally Aiming at the endorsed cosmetics in the hands of nine people.

That's right, this cosmetics was naturally paid for, especially after Li Menglong came up with the idea and the price was increased a lot. However, the effect was really good, at least the vast majority of the audience finished watching this wave of soft advertisements.

Only Li Menglong could come up with such a shameless idea to accompany the behind-the-scenes with advertisements. Moreover, ordinary viewers may not know that this behind-the-scenes feature does not take up the time of the TV series itself. It is equivalent to the cosmetics company spending money to buy the advertising space at the end of the episode. Objectively speaking, this can be regarded as advertising.

Who wouldn’t like this kind of director who can actively solicit advertisements and sponsorships for TV stations? I have to say that Li Menglong did a perfect job in sharing the benefits.

The episode is completely over here, so we can start to settle the accounts: "I'm fat, right?"

"Am I falling in love again?"

"As for me, since Yoona has been so successful since her solo career, why don't we try to grab some of your former Ernies?" Kim Taeyeon grabbed Yoona who was about to run away: "Why do I always feel that the last scene tells the truth?" What about the voices of some people?”

After all, after staying with the girls for a long time, Li Menglong also learned a little about adding insult to injury. So when he passed by, he not only ignored Yoona's look for help, but also "accidentally" said: "Those lines are not written in the script anyway. Actors are free to express themselves..."

The internal conflicts within the group can be filmed in a scene. Yoona is also very unjust. No matter how she explains this matter, it is useless. She just hopes that the unnies can be gentler...
