Gwangju, an urban area in South Korea, is also the country's cultural and artistic center, a film and television industry experimental zone and a high-tech experimental zone for film and television special effects. It is also known as Asia's "Hollywood".
Nearly half of South Korea's movies and TV series over the years were filmed and produced here.
Such urban attributes are equivalent to Dongyang City, where Hengdian, Zhejiang, China is located.
Although Gwangju is only half the size of Dongyang City, covering 500 square kilometers, its overall film and television industry chain is more advanced and developed than domestically. We have to admit that there is indeed some gap compared with domestically.
But logically speaking, South Korea was established a few years later than China, and it was still separated from the north. In such a historical environment, the cultural attributes should not be so developed. This is not in line with this pattern.
The development logic of history and humanities.
The big family that was originally one family has not yet unified, and instead of improving the core strength of the country, entertainment culture has become popular and has become the country's top economic pillar. This is a bit wrong.
Just look at Beifang, who is part of the same family. They have devoted themselves to development and secretly grown over the years, but they have no intention of engaging in entertainment.
Therefore, South Korea is a very strange place. It gives people the feeling that they have gone astray and not taken the right path.
The reason is that all these are masterpieces of old Americans.
After the end of S2 in the last century, the United States needed chess pieces in Asia to complete its Asia-Pacific strategy, and the defeated island countries and South Korea, which had been separated by the bear, were chosen.
Then, after nearly half a century of development, the United States found that it seemed to be invincible. It had aircraft carriers to balance the world's seas, fighter jets equipped with aircraft carriers to balance the world's airspace, and even people who were not sure whether it was true or false landed on the moon and occupied the moon.
In this case, our family is invincible, so why develop these things? Isn't this a waste of money?
As a result, the United States became disillusioned and formulated a strategy to hollow out the industrial chain.
Until 1991, when Mao Xiong suffered from cancer and differentiated, the United States was completely swollen. It felt that it had no rivals and had conquered the world. It officially implemented the strategy of hollowing out the industrial chain and turned around to engage in false finance.
In terms of the industrial hollowing-out strategy, a batch of industrial chains and technologies were handed over to island countries, and a batch of industrial chains and technologies were handed over to South Korea, with the purpose of using the cheap labor of the two companies to provide themselves with products and goods.
However, even if the little brother is controlled, he cannot make the little brother stronger to avoid backlash.
Therefore, in view of the fact that the island country may become stronger due to the industrial chain and technology it provides, the United States has carried out decades of "de-militarism" ideological propaganda in the island country, which has deepened the culture of sweet girls and sissy girls.
People's hearts have given rise to various film and television series, animations, boy groups and girl groups containing strange and eccentric concepts.
South Korea, facing across the sea, does not understand the intentions of the United States. It only sees that the entertainment and culture industry of the island country opposite has become so developed and profitable with the "help" and propaganda of the United States. As a younger brother who entered the industry at the same time, South Korea
That's called envy.
South Korea has begun to learn in a decent way, but the investment in the film and television industry is a bottomless pit. Without funds, it can't start it. It will never surpass the island country and cannot reach the level of the island country's cultural industry.
At this time, their eldest brother sent them warmth and gave them a batch of industrial chains and technologies. The most significant industry among them was the shipbuilding industry and corresponding technologies.
Relying on this industry and technology, as well as the global market given to them by their boss, South Korea has risen rapidly in just one or two years.
Warships, transport ships, crane ships and other large and small ships initially occupied about 30% of the global market share. Until now in 2009, they have occupied 60% of the global market, almost monopolizing this industry.
Many technologies in heavy-duty and precision manufacturing industries are similar.
Therefore, since then, South Korea's automobile, mobile phone and other industries have also been promoted in all aspects.
At the same time, the film and television cultural industry, which South Korea has always been obsessed with and envied of the island country, is also rising rapidly with the support of strong industrial strength in the manufacturing industry.
Following the historical trajectory between such a boss and two younger brothers, if you look at South Korea alone, you can find that after the United States gave them industries and technologies in 1991 and 1992——
Industrial fields such as Samsung, Kia, Renault, etc. only grew rapidly during the 1990s.
In the cultural field, the three major TV stations such as KBS, SBS, MBC, etc. also became famous throughout this period.
In the film and television field, three major entertainment companies such as SM, YG, and JYP were established one after another and developed rapidly during this period.
After understanding this, you can understand why South Korea listens to their boss so much, because the shipbuilding technology patent is in the hands of their boss, and because the global market in the shipbuilding industry actually depends on their boss's face.
As long as their boss withdraws these things given to South Korea, South Korea will return to before liberation overnight and quickly go downhill, including their entertainment industry, which will follow the general trend and all collapse and go bankrupt.
Once you understand this, you can roughly understand one thing.
At the turn of the millennium, the Korean Wave entered the domestic market and began to sweep everything away, greatly affecting the living space of the domestic film and television industry. However, the relevant departments in our country seem to have no interest in this and do not want to interfere. Why is this?
The reason is probably that South Korea is just the younger brother. Without the Korean Wave, there will still be waves. If the pressure brought by the United States is not counteracted, these "flowing" things will never stop and never end.
Gone.
Throughout the history of the Chinese dynasties, Bai Qi, the God of War, killed hundreds of thousands of troops, Zhuge Liang persisted in marching out of Qishan, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, etc., these very wise ancients without exception all have one thing in common, which is
I want to solve the problem once and for all, rather than keep making small fuss and wearing down our will and national strength.
The motherland that has been passed down to this day is still the same now. From the beginning to the end, it has only focused on the United States. Island countries or South Korea are nothing. The incoming brainwashing remarks and anti-corruption remarks are just small problems. As long as the old people are
Once the beauty is solved, all these things are gone.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The main theme is: I will wait for the opportunity to develop first, and let you be arrogant. When I am successful, all bad things will be settled and wiped out once and for all.
Because of the "Dragon Gate Array" set up by Hollywood, the movie "Sky Curtain" was forced into a pit in the array. During the dinner party after reaching a consensus that day, I heard Han Sanping talk about these modern history. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei can be said to be
The knowledge has greatly increased, and the world situation has been significantly improved.
During this roadshow in Japan and South Korea, the couple's perception of these two places has also changed.
Fortunately, Chu Xuan had read many books and learned about many things in the past, and he had a general understanding of these things.
Liu Yifei benefited a lot. She thought that the entertainment culture of Japan and South Korea developed on its own strength. It turned out that the development opportunities and environment were only available after being deeply "kidnapped" by their elder brother. Compared with the development of our country,
The development status of both being self-reliant is far weaker than that of the inferior, and they are not on the same level.
Even though the domestic industry is lagging behind a lot now, it is only a matter of time before we surpass them.
Since the couple shared this understanding in Han Sanping a few days ago, their national and cultural confidence has once again risen to a new level.
"??!"
"????!"
There are no direct flights to Gwangju Airport in South Korea. The couple's flight arrived in Seoul from Beijing at 6pm and then transferred. The two flights took nearly five hours, and it was already 11pm when they arrived in Gwangju.
What is surprising is that the airport is overcrowded at night. There are a lot of schoolgirls, schoolboys and young men and women who are obviously not tourists. They are not here to board or get off the plane. They all have the atmosphere of being picked up at the airport.
.
There were two strings of unintelligible Korean names and no one knew who they were. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei watched curiously, trying to find out which big star had arrived and had such a big reputation.
Just listen to the people in the team who understand Korean say: "An Qixuan, Sun Yizhen."
An Qixuan? Sun Yizhen?
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other. They both felt that these two names were familiar, and they always felt that they were related to them, but they couldn't remember what happened for a long time.
"The male and female protagonists of "Full House 2" have been promoting in China with the Blue Channel some time ago. Now it seems that they have returned to South Korea to promote. They should be preparing for the broadcast." Li He explained from the side.
It suddenly dawned on Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei that they turned out to be the male and female protagonists of "Full House 2". No wonder these two names seemed familiar to them. After Mango Channel selected their "Star You" for the second choice, the two parties became estranged.
There was a gap in the air, and the director of the show once even insinuated contempt for them in an interview.
It's just that they have been busy with film work in recent months. "Star You" was temporarily put aside and handed over to the post-production team to handle it. Some things were forgotten by them. They never expected to meet the other team's crew when they came to South Korea.
.
The huge crowd, at least five to six hundred people, came to pick up their idol at the airport late at night. It was quite a spectacle.
With this scene in front of them, who would say that some fans in China are extremely star-chasing, then the couple will have to talk about it.
No matter how extreme the domestic fans are, it is impossible for them to go to the airport in the middle of the night to pick them up. Maybe there are a few really extreme fans who will do this, but there is absolutely no way they can have the momentum of hundreds of people in front of them, and they also hold all kinds of
Idol lighting signs and glow sticks are supporting.
It’s true that if you don’t visit South Korea and don’t know the real fandom environment, this is called entertaining yourself to death!
An Qixuan and Son Yizhen were smiling and full of vanity. They walked out of the airport with the team and waved hello to the fans who came to pick them up.
In South Korea, whether an artist's commercial value is high or not, and whether the artist himself is popular or not, is partly reflected in the fanaticism of his fans.
And if an artist has a work that is about to be broadcast and has to fly to various places to promote it, the company behind it will build momentum for the artist.
Just like the current scene of fans coming to pick you up at the airport, there are also various paparazzi and media taking pictures, most of which were initiated by the agency.
Therefore, there have been many scandals in the South Korean entertainment industry. For example, the agency forced the fan group to pick up the idol at the airport. If they did not go, the idol's business would be reduced or even hid.
Artists rely on their fans for a living, so the management company threatens their fans. Isn't this sick?
But the fan economic circle in South Korea is so awesome and bloody.
In order for their idols to develop better, many fans just listen to the threats from the agency and support them wherever they go.
No one can understand such a circle except South Korea itself. It is completely a strange circle.
But An Qixuan and Sun Yizhen didn't find it strange. They enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by stars. As celebrities, there is nothing more glorious than such a situation, even if they also know that some fans are hired by their agencies.
"Forced".
But the source of the matter is not important, enjoying this sense of vanity in the moment is the most important.
As a director, Park Jae-guo is naturally very happy to see that his male and female protagonists are so popular, which shows that his "Full House 2" will have a market base.
He was in a good mood and glanced inadvertently, only to see a team walking by themselves not far away. It was like they were in two different worlds from the crowds of people who were swarming to pick up the plane.
Hey, people over there, here are Ahn Qi-hyun and Son Yizhen, two of the most popular stars in South Korea at the moment, aren't you curious?
The team seemed to be walking around as if no one was around, which made him frown, slightly unhappy.
But when he took a closer look, his eyes widened the next moment: "This is...Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei? What are they doing here?"
He recognized Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. His work collaboration was rejected by Mango Channel for "Star You". Since then, he has kept these two people in mind.
Moreover, the two works are idol dramas of the same genre, and I have the task of restarting China's Korean film and television market after the "Korean Wave Gate", so my work must be popular. Then Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's "Star You"
》It can’t be popular.
At first, he didn't have this understanding. First, he didn't think anyone in China would be his opponent in an idol drama. Second, he didn't understand the Brilliant Era. Third, he looked down on Chu Xuan, a new director. Fourth, he didn't know that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were in the same relationship.
How popular is China?
After all, he is the director and producer, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are just two actors. Not only are they far different in level from the director and producer, but they are far from competing with him.
But after filming in China for several months and staying for more than half a year, his ideas began to change.
The production level and strength of Brilliant Times, the strong capital strength of Brilliant Times, and most importantly the creativity and innovation of Brilliant Times, can be called a huge miracle in the Chinese entertainment market.
Just like their "Dae Jang Geum" back then, this costume palace battle drama was a phenomenon in China.
But what happens next? The Chinese market has copied them one after another, to the point where their South Korean costume palace dramas have no market in China.
The biggest characteristic of South Korea in the Chinese market is that they can follow the trend and get involved until they die, and no one can win against the Chinese.
The disadvantage highlighted by this characteristic is that if everyone follows suit and gets involved, the industry and market will naturally have fewer innovative things and industries.
Seizing this loophole, he created "Full House 2", which changed the TV series market to almost all scenes of women chasing men, and changed it to a story structure of men chasing women, and there are still many men chasing one woman. This
This innovative storyline is enough to make Chinese female audiences pay for his works and contribute massive ratings.
He is also very confident that that bullshit "Star You" is definitely no match for him.
But after learning about the production style of Brilliant Era, he completely changed his mind.
Aren’t everyone in China, from capital to creators, following the trend? Why don’t you, the brilliant era, follow your own example? What are you doing with innovation?
Forget about being innovative, according to his understanding, all the TV series of Brilliant Era have achieved acceptable results, many of them are popular, and several of them are explosive hits.
Based on this real situation, facing this weird Chinese enterprise in the Brilliant Era, facing the directors and actors trained under such a corporate culture...
No, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were still the boss and proprietress of this company, which made him put aside most of his contempt.
This leads to the sentence just now: one's work must be popular to complete the task, so Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's "Star You" cannot be popular.
Otherwise, he is already very clear now. Once the works starring these two people make the Chinese idol drama market popular, and then various capitals will follow suit, what will happen to their South Korean idol dramas?
Therefore, "Star You" is already his number one rival in his heart.
But being a strong rival with a new director is very cheap.
But we have to admit that this is the fact and situation.
He has lived for forty years and still has to compete with a new director. Every time he thinks about this, he has mixed emotions. There are no extra benefits if he wins the competition, but if he loses, his old face will be gone.
What just makes him curious is, what are Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei doing in South Korea to promote their "Star You"?
But it’s impossible. They don’t do much publicity at home, so why would they put their first publicity point abroad?
As for An Qixuan and Son Yizhen, the smiles on their faces that were greeting the fans faltered slightly after hearing the director's name murmuring behind them.
The two people then looked not far away and saw that the group of people was indeed the team of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
The two of them knew about Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, but they had never met or had any interactions with each other. However, unlike the director who did not pay much attention to celebrities, as they were both actors and entertainers, they had a deep understanding of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei during the few months they were filming in China.
These two names are very popular.
The two hottest stars in China!
The undisputed best partner on screen!
In reality, they are still a sweet, loving, positive couple-to-be who have already proposed!
Such a combination of actors is very attractive, and the above sentences are also the most common comments they have heard from others about the two of them.
The most important thing is that the two of them are still so young, which makes them very envious and jealous.
Moreover, the drama "My Love from the Star" produced by these two people will be a strong competitor of their works, which makes people even less fond of it.
At this moment, the two men turned their heads and looked at each other.
Sun Yizhen's eyes averted for a moment, and she turned her head back, as if she was caught peeking at someone else and was embarrassed for a moment.
However, An Qixuan, who was born in the first generation of South Korea's popular boy band HOT, felt arrogant or noble in his heart so that he was not afraid of the collision in the eyes of these two people.
Not only that, An Qixuan also raised his right hand and extended a downward middle finger vaguely beside his trouser leg, sending a very shameless gesture of contempt.
This is very baffling.
Both Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei couldn't help but look stunned. Do we know you? Have we ever interacted with you? Have we ever had any enemies? None of them, right?
So what kind of behavior is this? Giving him the middle finger in front of his face? This is simply confusing and unreasonable.
Look at the artists in the domestic circle. Even if there is some hidden conflict with them, they will not sneer in front of them. Are all South Korean artists so awesome? There is no etiquette in a country at all.
Oh no, they don't have the style of a country of etiquette at all. They steal every culture. They have been stealing for decades and they don't know how to steal. If they don't know how to steal, they insist that everything is theirs.
When I think about it, I can now understand An Qixuan's behavior. In one word, he is very pretentious.
In the past, Chu Xuan might not have taken this move seriously, but now his temperament has changed.
I don’t mess with you, why don’t you mess with me?
To despise him in person?
Am I spoiling you?
Chu Xuan raised his hand and raised his middle finger, an upward middle finger.
What's dramatic is that Liu Yifei also raised her middle finger upward.
There is really a perfect understanding between husband and wife.
Li He, Zeng Ni, Lu Tao and the team members were stunned for a while at first. They didn't know what happened, but they looked at the young couple's lowered gestures, and then followed the young couple's retracted gazes to look at An Qixuan and him.
After the gesture of retracting the trouser legs, they reacted, and everyone was confused.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Are you trying to show us power?" Li He said casually, with a hint of sullenness in his tone.
"I don't understand, we are just passively fighting back." Chu Xuan said as he walked in front.
"Yes, it's really helpless." Liu Yifei nodded in agreement.
Seeing the couple singing along, Li Hedong's sullenness dissipated in an instant, and he laughed together with the others, feeling full of fun.
On the other side, An Qixuan's face darkened when he saw two middle fingers coming from across the air.
He turned his head back and glared at Sun Yizhen cryptically, as if to say: Why don't you cooperate with me? Didn't you see that the two of them bullied me? They are the male and female protagonists, and we are also the male and female protagonists. Do we have a tacit understanding?
Sun Yizhen was speechless, as if to say: They are husband and wife, so they naturally have a tacit understanding. Where did we get the tacit understanding?
An Qixuan took a deep breath, almost angry, as if to say: After all, we have been a couple on the set, and there is no tacit understanding at all.
Sun Yizhen seemed to understand the look in his eyes, and her face turned cold with disgust, as if to say: Get out!
An Qixuan also seemed to understand her expression, and felt even more uncomfortable.
However, what made him more uncomfortable was that because the two parties looked at each other, the media, paparazzi and their fans soon discovered the existence of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei not far away.
The situation changed. There were many people in the group picking up the plane, and the media and paparazzi suddenly dispersed.
"Princess Nihuang!"
"Lin Shu Oppa!"
Chu Xuan was confused, very confused.
With that crooked South Korean Chinese accent, you can still hear clearly what you are shouting.
It’s just that Princess Nihuang is okay, but what the hell is Oppa Lin Shu?
Is there such a combination of a costume character's name and a modern popular word at the end?
This is very embarrassing, embarrassing to the point of picking my feet.
"Lin Shu Oppa..." Li He's heart twitched suddenly, and he raised his hand to cover his mouth, covering up the indescribable hilarious emotion.
Liu Yifei, Zeng Ni, Lu Tao and the team members all held back their laughter and moved aside to have fun. They were also avoiding the sudden media cameras and paparazzi shots.
Seeing the crowd approaching, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei quickly calmed down their emotions. At the same time, they had a big question in their minds: Is "Legend of Red Flame" so popular overseas?
From the situation when the Southeast Asian, Japanese and Korean media did not ask about the movie at the movie premiere, but focused on "Legend of Red Flame" as the topic, to the reaction of the South Korean people at this moment, you can call them out when you see them
The names of the characters in the drama gave them the feeling that the drama was more popular overseas than at home.
Before he could think too much, a crowd of people gathered around him.
"Wow, I finally met Princess Nihuang in person! So beautiful, she looks like a fairy like Shui Bingyue!"
"Oppa Lin Shu is really so handsome!!"
"Why are you here?"
"You seem to be the first to come to our country, right?"
“Welcome to Korea!”
"Are you here for the "Legend of Red Flame" business event?"
"..."
The faces of Park Jae Kook's crew all look very ugly.
Just like many Chinese fans who are biased, they don't like their own country's artists, but they favor their South Korean artists.
Their South Korean fans also have such a sense of freshness. When they meet a big foreign star for the first time, they always burst out with high interest and passion.
Although only a portion of the crowd passed by, it was quite a slap in the face.
The fans came to pick them up at the airport, but now they gave these people a welcome gift?
They invited the media and paparazzi, but now they gave this group of people enough traffic to publicize it?
This situation also confirmed a fact that they were unwilling to admit and were in a bad mood, that is, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had a market base in Asia.
Lin Shu? Princess Nihuang? "Legend of Red Flame"?
They had heard about this drama in China, and it was a hit that broke the ratings record.
But I never expected that this Chinese drama would still be very popular in South Korea, otherwise this group of fans, media and paparazzi would not have left.
But they have no impression of the situation of this drama in South Korea, which can only mean that it was only during the six months when they went to China to discuss cooperation and filming that this drama became popular overseas.
Park Jae-guo's heart sank, and he decided to go back and inquire about the situation of this drama in South Korea and overseas. There is an old saying in South Korea: Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
He assumed the worst outcome. Even if his drama couldn't compete with "Star You" in the Chinese market, it could always compete with "Star You" in overseas markets.
But now it seems that this worst outcome seems to have expanded its scope. It is impossible for his drama to be inferior to "Star You" in the domestic market of South Korea, right?
This thought flashed away, making Park Zaiguo shiver. This idea was too ridiculous and too terrifying to think about, but it was like a thorn piercing deep into his heart.
"Hello friends from South Korea, we are here to promote the movie this time. We will consider the follow-up activities of "Legend of Red Flame". On behalf of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, thank you for your support."
Faced with many questions from excited South Korean fans, Li Hedong gave some feedback on behalf of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and then a team of people who knew Korean translated and repeated the story.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief. Apart from the fact that they could understand the names of the characters who were called to them, they didn't know what the rest of them were saying. With Li He and the team members helping them, they just smiled and waved to say hello.
It was quite unexpected and a bit of a surprise to have someone pick me up at the airport when I was traveling abroad.
It wasn't until they got on the bus at the square that this small group of South Korean spectators, fans and media paparazzi turned around one by one and returned to their star-chasing circle.
As the team closed the door, Chu Xuan looked out. In the space between the narrowing car doors, he happened to meet An Qixuan, who was surrounded by a group of fans at the entrance of the terminal.
An Qixuan's expression changed from confused at first to black lines all over his head. The moment he closed the car door, another afterimage of a raised middle finger came into view under the light inside the car.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The business car started slowly, and Chu Xuan retracted his middle finger playfully.
Seeing this scene, Li Hu and Zeng Ni couldn't help laughing.
Liu Yifei was also dumbfounded, and said to Li Hed and Zeng Ni: "Sister Hed, Sister Zeng, have you noticed that Chu Xuan is not only becoming more and more passionate about youth, but also getting more and more crazy."
Chu Xuan took the chewing gum handed over by Zeng Ni and unpacked it: "He provoked me first for no reason, or in public, so I'm not allowed to return it?"
"Didn't you and Sissi return home in perfect agreement just now?" Li He was amused.
Chu Xuan put the chewing gum in the package into his mouth and chewed it with his cheeks twitching: "I'm afraid he won't see it, so I'll give him another one."
Hearing what he said, Liu Yifei, Li Hu, and Zeng Ni were overjoyed and happy. Chu Xuan was really having fun at this moment.
"Although I don't know what they are talking about, they must be praising you." Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow at Liu Yifei: "You are quite popular in South Korea, Princess Nihuang."
Liu Yifei tilted her head and smoothed her hair, looking at him with a stern look: "Aren't you the same? There are so many beauties screaming at you crazily, and their eyes want to eat you."
After a pause, Liu Yifei smoothed her hair and faced Chu Xuan directly, her eyes full of fun: "You are quite popular too, Oppa Lin Shu~"
"Hahaha..." Li He and Zeng Ni burst into laughter. Li He said while laughing: "Oppa Lin Shu, I can laugh at this joke for a year."
Feeling the joking gazes of several people, Chu Xuan raised his hands to his forehead in embarrassment, and then turned his gaze outside the car window.
After leaving the country and arriving abroad, an airport incident unexpectedly occurred as soon as they got off the plane, giving them a short but profound "baptism" of foreign culture. There were surprises, surprises and fun, but overall it was interesting.
In this way, the group of people happily went to the hotel they had booked to discuss the road show.
