On January 16, Girls' Generation member Seo Joo Hyun released her first solo album "Don't Say No", becoming the third member of Girls' Generation to debut solo...if you include Jessica, she is the fourth.
The previously released concept photos and the title song MV all have a somewhat mature and charming style, which is very different from the mentally retarded character of SNSD who said, "Eating hamburgers will kill you". Supporting SNSD fans also shouted that "the maknae has grown up"
.
At the same time, Bae Suzy also released the prelude to her solo album "Pretend to Be Happy" the next day, January 17, and confirmed that the solo album will be released on January 24. She and Seohyun also only
A week later, it was a head-on collision.
Coincidentally, the material released on Bae Suzy's solo album also tends to have a mature style, which is quite similar to Seo Joo Hyun's style. The media also excitedly began to hype the head-to-head competition between these two idols who were born in girl groups for their first solo.
Fans also started to fight and compete with each other.
If it were in the past, this hype would still have some meaning and be very gimmick...
But now...
Although Seo Joo Hyun is the maknae of Girls' Generation and is very well-known, Girls' Generation is actually a girl group whose popularity is very unevenly distributed. Apart from group fans, most of the group's popularity and fans are concentrated in the top two.
Among the three people, the one in the middle circle drank the soup, and the one in the lower circle, the back line, had no choice but to follow the name of SNSD.
And what’s even more interesting about her being the most popular maknae is that she has a good reputation.
As for the development of actors, I can’t say that there is no development at all, I can only say that it is better than nothing. Except for the comedy movie with Park Chanyeol, I still stay in various TV series and have guest appearances, and I have not been able to get a main star... and there is no such thing as YoonA sunbaenim.
Derby.
And what Bae Xiuzhi said...
In the past, Bae Suzy's career development situation was actually very embarrassing. She was born as an idol in a girl group, and with the help of the company, she came up with the title of 'National First Love'. Unfortunately, she only had fame and nationality, but did not have the most important thing about being an idol.
They have die-hard fans, and all the data that require real efforts from fans are unsightly. The album sales during the entire MissA era were extremely dismal. A girl group that had won major awards could not even hold a concert until it disbanded.
After transitioning into an actor, his development has not been satisfactory. After a good start with "Introduction to Architecture", he has no more eye-catching works. Last year, he also experienced the blockbuster "Wandering Attachment".
It seems that the development of the actor's career is about to go through a big decline.
If the media hype about two people's solos was at this time, it would still be interesting. At that time, these two people were still on the same track. Even if Bae Suzy was strong, she was not that strong.
It's a pity... At this time, Bae Suzy, who has great supernatural powers, also used some despicable means to get the position of the heroine of "Goblin".
Then... there is no need to compare.
She is now looking at how popular "Goblin" has become... Look at the endorsements she has received now, as well as the heated discussions on the Internet and the various comments that came from nowhere after the news of her solo was made public.
The '10-year-old fan' can tell.
To be honest, now, except for SNSD fans who have deep filters, in the eyes of most people, these two people are no longer on the same level.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Seo Joo Hyun's title song had no listening curve for 40 minutes after its release. The title song airborne to the ninth place on the melon chart within one hour. The ranking started to dive in the second hour. One day later, it was not a major hit on the chart. The main song was "Don't Say No".
"On the melon chart, it is not as high as EXO's "MONSTER" which has returned to the list due to the 'TT Island Incident'...
Chi Jingyuan also took the time to watch the SNSD senior's solo album. It's hard to say whether the song is good or not and the style is good. One look at the MV shows that SM didn't invest much resources at all. The finished product looks like something cut out by a college student.
In fact, it's a bit shameful to say that SM's resources seem to have been put into his solo album. Looking at his album configuration, and then looking at this sister's... it's really embarrassing.
The sales of the album are also very average. The sales of more than 5,000 on the first day of pre-sale clearly told SM and all the fans and passers-by who were watching the excitement - they are both from SNSD, but there is a gap.
But this cannot be blamed on Seo Joo-hyun. Although Bae Suzy's album has not yet been released, Chi Kyung-won estimates that the sales will not be much better... because the sales of female solos are already sluggish. So far, in terms of sales, the entire peninsula has
Female solo singers can sell an astonishing number of albums. Only Kim Taeyeon can play in a group by herself, not even IU.
Taeyeon Noona has an enviable number of die-hard fans.
The market in Peninsula itself is extremely small, and the competition for female solo artists is too fierce. I really don’t know why every girl group member has to go solo after the group activities have decreased.
Seo Joo Hyun's somewhat miserable solo debut this time has dimmed Girls' Generation's already small halo... When fans are helpless and sad, they can only look forward to Taeyeon Noona and Yoona Noona coming to the rescue.
.
On January 17, the ancient king Rain, who had just made a comeback with a song but received a mediocre response, revealed another eye-catching news. He published a handwritten letter officially announcing that he was about to get married to his girlfriend Kim Tae Hee, which immediately detonated the entire entertainment industry.
Although the peak of these two people was a long time ago, their popularity and national popularity are not limited. They are one of the most famous among artist couples, which is slightly worse than last year's super top two Song Dynasty couple.
January 18th is an extremely important day - Yoona sunbae's first action movie "The Help" as the main star has its premiere.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although "The K2" ends in an anticlimactic manner, its popularity is really extraordinary. It can be said that Yoona has won many "box office poison" titles, and now she is starring in a movie
The film was released with Hyun Bin. After many years of Mercury retrograde, the career of the senior actor has finally begun to change. It is like a flower in the dark and a flower in the dead tree... Kwon Yoo Ri and Seo Joo Hyun in the group, who have also been working hard to develop as actors, have already
It's not on the same level at all.
Chi Jingyuan, who claims to be one of his seniors' best friends in the film industry, has been looking forward to this movie for a long time. He originally thought that he would go to the premiere as soon as possible to support his seniors and contribute to the box office.
Unfortunately, "Goblin" is about to wrap up, and he has been staying on the set filming for the past few days. He has been so busy that he can't get away at the most critical moment, so he can only miss it temporarily with great regret.
Next time I will definitely... I can take Xiaonan to see it with me next time.
And when "The Help" is in full swing, the crew of "Goblin" has also arrived to wrap up the last day of filming...
"Do you dare to try on a blind date?"
At the dinner table, Jin Qian, played by Chi Jingyuan, was picking up a dish for Chi Enzhuo next to him, while squinting at her. His eyes were vivid, maintaining his posture and reserve, but he was obviously a little unhappy.
The display is very flexible.
"Why do you want to go? I'm already a married woman." Pei Xiuzhi took the food into her mouth happily, and raised an eyebrow at Chi Jingyuan with some sullenness. The look between her eyebrows was full of intimacy and naturalness.
It seems like a real couple is laughing and having fun here.
Jin Chan and Chi Enzhuo were happy enemies at the beginning, but finally came together after ups and downs, and each fulfilled their duties as a 'ghost' and a 'ghost bride'.
Transition, dress shop.
Before the filming started, Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi were standing in the hall, with their respective cody and assistants surrounding them constantly helping them organize the suits and wedding dresses they had just changed into.
The two people, surrounded by people, glanced at each other from time to time, seeming to be more interested in each other's clothes than themselves.
"3,2,1Aciton!"
Following the PD's order, the curtain slowly opened, and Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi looked at each other through the curtain.
Chi Jingyuan is wearing a simple and upright suit, a white shirt and a black tie that look extremely formal, while Bae Suzy is wearing a grand white wedding dress with soft lace, hazy gauze and exquisite silk. Everywhere seems to be...
Witness the beauty and flawlessness of the bride.
The moment they looked at each other, both of them were slightly startled.
Just before the shooting started, I saw Bae Suzy wearing a wedding dress. Chi Kyung-won, who was seeing her for the first time, was just out of curiosity and thought she looked pretty in what she wore.
After the filming officially started, I took on the role of Kim Wong and saw the bride in the drama again, looking at Bae Suzy shrouded in just the right lighting, looking at her white and holy wedding dress, and watching her bathing.
While shining the light, she also looked over and stared at him with the same tacit understanding, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little throbbing.
"you are so Beautiful."
"You are handsome too."
After a brief pause, Chi Jingyuan and Bae Suzy looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and spoke the next lines.
...Although this is written in the script, it may not be just the script at this time.
Until the last transition.
Jin Qian, who was wearing velvet pajamas, received a wedding gift from Chi Enzhuo, a watch.
Next to the watch, I also saw a note she left for herself.
Under the camera, and under the gaze of all other staff and actors, he picked up the note with a smile and looked at the note inside, or what Ji Eun-joo or Bae Suzy left for Jin-hyun, or what he said:
"I love all the roads we've traveled together."
"I love all the sights we have seen together and all the sights we will see together.".
"I love the questions we will be shy about asking each other, and the answers to those questions."
"I love you, every moment."
"—your bride"
The warm sunset shines on Chi Jingyuan through the window, and the scene freezes at the moment when his lips curl up in happiness and he smiles. A few seconds later, Li Yingfu's excited and joyful voice comes over: "CUT, Nice, perfect!"
Everyone nearby, including Chi Jingyuan who was leaving the performance state, also looked excited, but did not move. They all looked at Li Yingfu, waiting for his next words.
The PD, who was surrounded by everyone, was sunny, smiling like a child and waving his hands vigorously, shouting loudly and even hoarsely: "I announce that "The Lonely and Brilliant God-Ghost" has officially been completed!"
"Oh oh oh!!"
"Thick card!"
The next moment, the staff who had been waiting for a long time all cheered excitedly, and the sound resounded throughout the audience. The leading actors, Lee Dong Wook, Yoo In Na, Yook Sung Jae and Bae Suzy, who had been watching for a long time, also stood up and cheered with smiles on their faces.
Put your palms on your hands.
Chi Kyung-won was put on clothes by his assistant, and after coming off the set, he smiled and high-fived Lee Dong-wook and others to celebrate this historic moment together.
While applauding, he smiled and looked at the celebrating crowd around him, feeling quite emotional in his heart.
"Goblin" has now aired its fourteenth episode, and the final 16th episode will be aired next week... However, all the scenes have been filmed today, which can be considered a successful completion.
This drama has been in preparation since very early last year and has gone through a lot of twists and turns. The casting aspect has changed again and again.
It has been several months since the filming started, and we have encountered many difficulties in these months. Staying up all night has become the norm. The longest time the entire crew filmed for fifty hours without taking a break was the pool scene.
Yuan almost fainted on the set. The actors and creators worked together under tight time and pressure, and spent the past few months extremely fulfillingly.
In the end, everyone gained unimaginable gains.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because Ma is the original producer of "The Queen Mother", everyone actually expected that this drama would be popular, but they did not expect that it would be so popular.
Lee Dong Wook is back in the spotlight, Yoo In Na has been filming more and more, and Yook Sung Jae has gained a firm foothold.
Not to mention Ji Kyung Won and Bae Suzy who are the leading actors... Although Ji Kyung Won has filmed TV series with good results since his debut, there is also "Misheng", which has a great influence on peninsula law.
is a masterpiece, but overall, this "Ghost" is the one with the best performance in all aspects among all the TV series produced by Chi Jingyuan since his debut.
In addition to career success, Chi Jingyuan himself looks back on the past few months and feels that he has gained a lot.
He has become more mature as a person, has new ideas in acting, has made new friends and connections, and...
He glanced at Pei Xiuzhi, who was standing next to her and had taken off her wedding dress, but still looked fresh, beautiful and smiling. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
...It was truly an unforgettable period of time.
After the celebration, several actors and creators also gathered together to make a final summary and say goodbye, as well as some next things.
"...the highest ratings of the 14 episodes broadcast last week have reached 19.7%. There is a great hope that it will exceed 20% in the finale next week. In this way, we will be the only TV series on cable TV with a ratings of more than 20 points.
!”
"This is all thanks to PD's superb skills. PD is really great at shooting, especially the use of light and background contrast."
"Hahaha... It's also thanks to Jingyuan's popularity!"
The high-spirited Li Yingfu and Chi Jingyuan flattered each other without feeling ashamed at all, and even felt that their flattery was not strong enough.
"...Hey Yigu, thanks to Jingyuan's recommendation to me before, otherwise I wouldn't have seen such a beautiful Chi Enzhuo."
Next to her, writer Kim Eun-sook took Bae Suzy's hand and said with emotion and kindness: "Suzy, you are really an excellent actor. I will definitely work with you again if we have the opportunity in the future."
At the beginning, Kim Eun-sook was full of doubts about Bae Suzy. Basically, she passed the selection of the heroine because of Ji Kyung-won's face. However, after several months of getting along, Kim Eun-sook was also skillfully manipulated by Bae Suzy.
I was impressed by her relationship building skills and her desperate efforts, and now I have a very good impression of her.
"Unnie~" Pei Xiuzhi pretended to be dissatisfied, stopping Jin Eunshu and saying with a smile: "Even if there is no cooperation, can't I ask you out to have a cup of coffee together?"
"Hahaha." Jin Enshu smiled happily when she heard this and adjusted her glasses: "Of course it's no problem."
Immediately afterwards, Chi Kyung-won chatted with the leading actors Lee Dong-wook, Yoo In-na, and Yook Sung-jae for a while. After several months of getting along with them, the leading actors were already very familiar with each other. Yook Sing-jae even created a small group on KAKAO to gather a few of them.
We all got involved, and we chatted and kept in touch from time to time.
Chi Jingyuan also has a good impression of several people and intends to maintain the relationship.
And because several CPs in "Goblin" are very popular, especially Kim Wong Ri, Kim Wong Ji Eun Jo, etc., they have already accepted five or six advertising endorsements for him and Lee Dong Wook, as well as Bae Suzy, and fans are also
I really like seeing them appear together. Even after the TV series ends, there will definitely be some after-sales service and there will be many opportunities for cooperation.
"By the way, Jingyuan..."
After chatting with all the actors, producers, set managers, etc., when Chi Jingyuan was about to say goodbye and leave, he was stopped by Li Yingfu again: "The TV station has discussed it, and the celebration banquet will be held in mid-February.
Don’t be absent when the time comes.”
"Don't worry PD, how could I not go?"
"Also, because this result is very satisfactory, the crew is planning to charter a flight after the celebration banquet for everyone to go to Thailand for a vacation to celebrate. Dongxu Xi and Ina Xi have already been confirmed. Look, you will arrive
Do you have time...and Suzy xi."
"Mid-February?"
Chi Jingyuan originally wanted to agree, but he hesitated when he heard the time, because he had a lot of things to do in February.
However, as a leading actor, Chi Jingyuan thought about it and was ready to agree:
"PD, I'll go back and check the arrangements. I'll be there as long as I can spare time."
…………
After everything was explained clearly and all friends said goodbye, Chi Kyung-won and Bae Suzy naturally left the set together and headed to the parking lot.
The assistant went to drive first, and the two of them walked leisurely behind.
The slightly cool evening breeze blew in the face, caressing the hair and bringing up a wave of blue hair. Both of them huddled in the collars of their down jackets without saying a word. Their footsteps lightly rubbed against the cement pavement, making the surroundings seem even quieter.
"Can't bear to part with it?"
After walking a few steps, Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to break the subtle and warm atmosphere.
Bae Suzy, who was smiling on the set just now, showing off her social skills and fooling Kim Eun-sook and several producers into smiling, suddenly became quiet and seemed a little silent.
"No, it's not the first time I've finished filming..."
Pei Xiuzhi exerted a little force and kicked away a pebble in front of her. She watched the pebble roll out about ten meters and fell there in embarrassment. She pursed her lips and smiled softly, shaking her head: ""It's just... forget it.
…”
After saying that, she remembered something and turned to look at Chi Jingyuan, her eyes suddenly brightened: "...But you are really handsome in a suit."
"The first day you knew?"
Chi Jingyuan snorted as he should. He was not embarrassed at all, but after walking a few steps, he found that Pei Xiuzhi was still looking at him. He thought in his mind, turned to look at her and raised an eyebrow: "
Why, do you want me to praise you too?"
"Guess!" Pei Xiuzhi grinned, looking obediently waiting for praise.
"Oh, forget it..."
In the past, Chi Jingyuan would definitely have said a few sarcastic words, but today the filming was completed. Although his thoughts were a bit complicated, he was in a very good mood. He did not make a fuss about the scene, and he smiled in return and said something like a compliment: "Nai, you
She looks pretty in a wedding dress too.”
"hey-hey."
This woman raised her head to reveal her dimples, her eyes narrowed into a straight line, and she smiled like a bratty child.
"After finishing filming, are you busy with solo work?"
"Yeah, I've been practicing and doing a reality show recently, and I have a lot of commercials to shoot. I'm exhausted. After finishing filming, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief... What about you? Are you flying to LA to shoot the MV the day after tomorrow?"
"Well, I've been waiting for a long time. I'm actually waiting for the filming to be completed...otherwise I would have gone already and wouldn't even bother to attend the Seoul Music Awards tomorrow."
"Tsk tsk, I heard that you chose the heroine. I really want to see what she looks like... When will you come back?"
"It's expected to be about a week. If everything goes well, I might be back in four or five days."
"Hmm~"
After responding, Bae Suzy nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She walked quietly beside him, enjoying her last walk on the set.
After a few seconds, when she could already see the nanny car of the two people in front of her, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Chi Jingyuan:
"By the way, Eun Shu Oni thanked you just now, saying that if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to see such a beautiful Ji Eun Zhuo. I actually think so too..."
"The new property I bought has been renovated and I moved in a few days ago."
She stroked her hair that was blown by the wind, and the bright smile like a child appeared on her face again, but there was a more charming look between her eyebrows:
"You haven't been to my new home yet, have you? Today... do you want to go visit it?"
