The expected trip took a shorter time, and CBS was fully prepared. At Su Yan's suggestion, the original meeting in the United States was moved to two locations before being carried out. The ten-day trip ended up taking only
seven days.
Zhu Jianjun was very helpful both during the three-day trip to the island and during the subsequent discussions.
He is an expert in wilderness survival and has been filming Law of the Jungle for more than a year. When considering issues, he will start from the aspects of the program, including shooting angles, precautions, safety, etc.
In the end, in addition to confirming the shooting location, the time was also initially coordinated, probably around March. In other words, Su Yan would leave in the first month to make preparations.
After finishing his trip to the United States, the patriarch returned to his country, and Su Yan flew to South Korea.
There is no other reason than to participate in the film festival
According to the previous plan, we might not be able to make it in time. After saving three days, we have enough time to prepare.
But this is not the main goal. Although they were invited, Su Yan and others also knew that there were too many participating works from all over the world, so it was difficult to make a difference. They focused more on movies from all over the world.
people.
"Exit" has sold over 10 million yuan in Korea. It has gained a certain reputation and won't win awards, but it can still be sold for money.
Representatives Yoona and Cao Zheng attended the red carpet session, while Su Yan and the producer chatted with theater owners from various countries. In ten days, they also negotiated several business deals, which can be regarded as something fruitful.
As for the award, I missed it as expected, but I didn’t have any expectations, so I can’t say I was disappointed.
After it was over, Su Yan did not return directly to China because the main event was later.
On November 21st, that is, half a month later, the Blue Dragon Film Awards Ceremony will be held in Seoul. Although this will not help the sales of films that have already been released, for directors and actors, it is comparable to the Busan Film Festival.
too much.
Founded in 1963, it is one of South Korea's three major film awards along with the Daejong Awards and the Baeksang Arts Awards, equivalent to the country's Oscars.
There are 17 awards including Best Work Award, Director Award, Male and Female Leading Actor Award, Male and Female Supporting Actor Award, and Photography Award.
"Exit" just happened to catch the last train, because it only accepts movies before November. It was released at the end of August, and the popularity has not completely subsided. In the audience's online voting, it was directly shortlisted for eleven awards. In the second step
During the screening, seven were finally shortlisted and participated in the final selection. The result will not be announced until the awards ceremony.
However, the "Highest Box Office Award for Korean Films" is already in the bag. The choice is this year's top-grossing movie. Lee Byung-hun's new film has been in theaters for 20 days and has achieved a good result of 5.4 million, but it is impossible to break 10 million.
It's like announcing the result in advance.
Su Yan himself had little chance of winning the Best Director award. When he chatted with Cha Tae-hyun in private, the other party directly stated that his chance of winning the Director award was about the same as winning the lottery. The reason for this was none other than that he was not Korean.
But Su Yan doesn't care. His main business is variety shows, and he has won awards in South Korea. It doesn't really help him make movies in China.
Yoona is different. If she can win the title of Best Actress, her net worth and evaluation will rise. As her husband, she must be there to cheer her on.
The time interval is relatively short. After discussing with Yoona, we will wait until Qinglong is over before returning to China. After all, it is better for pregnant women to reduce the fatigue of traveling and traveling as much as possible.
...
"Whoops, whoops..." Su Yan sat down on the ground, supporting his body with one hand, insisting not to fall down, sweat dripping down his hair: "I can't do it anymore, let me rest for ten minutes, five minutes is fine."
He raised his head and looked at the person in front of him and begged.
"Brother-in-law, you can't do this. You lack exercise. You are still young now. What will you do in a few years?"
"Uh..." Su Yan was unconvinced: "Whoever dances for an hour non-stop would be fine. It's easy as you say."
"Yo yo yo, we had to practice for more than eight hours a day back then. It's not as tiring as you are now. If you talk back again, keep going!!!"
Li Soonkyu retorted directly and successfully made Su Yan shut up.
At this time, he was in SM's practice room with Suny and Seohyun.
After participating in the Busan International Film Festival, the members of Girls' Generation came to visit and decided that "gee" would be the program to perform at the SBC Awards this year.
By the way, he also made arrangements for Su Yan clearly.
There were nine members, but Yoona was not convenient, so the remaining eight were divided into four groups, two of them every day, and she practiced with her brother-in-law.
In the first week, Su Yan felt like he was going to die, which was even more painful than staying up late during filming.
Isn't it just a simple dance?
Why do you need to stretch your muscles, why do you need to press your legs, why do you need to practice until you can do the splits!
He didn't understand, and he didn't dare to ask. After returning home, he had to slowly hold on to the wall when going down the stairs. Although the foundation of fitness was still there, the two sports were completely different.
After finally getting through it, my muscles and bones became softer, and I realized that learning to dance is not an easy task.
A song is about four minutes long, and there are dozens or hundreds of movements alone. In addition to the brain, the most important thing is for the body to remember. The most important thing is to move, and nine people have to change the formation n times.
So southern!
The key point is that these four pairs of teachers have different teaching styles.
For example, today's Lee Soon Kyu and Seohyun are very serious. After arriving at ten o'clock in the morning, they started practicing after warming up. They had lunch and rested for two hours, and then resumed on time at two o'clock, repeating the dance steps over and over again.
Woori and Taeyeon were more relaxed when they were teachers. They could take a break for half an hour, and they would use videos to slowly guide them on what to do, how to move, and how to look at the camera.
But the two people who are most afraid are Xiuying and Tiffany.
"Ah, why are you so weak? Didn't you eat today?"
"You're so stupid. It's been a week and you still haven't memorized the dance steps."
"You have to go back, or you'll hit other people."
"If your legs move bigger, are you a robot?"
"You are the worst student I have ever taught who can't dance. All the kids are better than you."
"Why don't you talk to the SBC and give up? It would be embarrassing to go up there."
All kinds of complaints and venomous remarks came out of their mouths, which made Su Yan wonder if they had any grudge against him.
But I have to say that after practicing with Xiuying, I made the biggest progress.
The reason why the girls worked so hard was not only to help their brother-in-law, but also the cameras nearby also played a role.
Su Yan made a pact at last year's SBC Awards. As the box office dust of "Exit" settled, the originally forgotten pact was brought up again and again. Breaking 10 million is considered a big event in the Korean entertainment industry.
The TV station will definitely not give up this opportunity. It contacted Su Yan a long time ago. After confirming that the other party will definitely appear and fulfill the agreement, it sent a special person to hold a camera and film the dance practice process. It may be made into a
Short film.
He must have refused in his heart, but he had already said it out loud, and Su Yan couldn't break his promise.
There is a saying that misfortune comes from the mouth. Whoever allows himself to be a bad mouth has made such a pact. It would be nice to say it more simply, and he wouldn't have to suffer so much now.
"Brother-in-law, drink some coffee first." Xu Xian didn't have to dance with him all the time. Most of the time, he watched him dance and gave guidance. The song "gee" has been deeply rooted in his bones. As soon as the music played, he naturally remembered it.
, you just need to practice a little later when everyone is together.
"Thank you." Su Yan took it and drank a third of it in one breath before he recovered a little.
"Actually, if you want to be more relaxed, just think of it as exercise. Caffeine will make you feel better and burn fat faster." Xu Xian really likes reading, and everything he says is the same.
"I have calmed down a long time ago, but I didn't expect dancing to be so difficult." After taking a few breaths, Su Yan answered.
"That's because you don't have the foundation." Li Shunkyu made a wave dance move in front of the mirror: "It's very easy for us professionals."
In normal times, Su Yan would have definitely argued with her, but now, forget it. He tried to fight, but in return he received more rigorous training.
"Brother-in-law, I asked the dancer to take a complete panoramic video. When you go home in a few days, don't forget to continue practicing."
"I know." He took the USB.
Today is the last day to come to the dance studio. There are still three days until Qinglong, so I need to adjust my condition.
"Okay, get up and dance three more times before we get off work!" Li Soonkyu said, clapping his hands.
"ok!"
Thinking that it would be over soon, Su Yan also stood up with force.
But in the middle of practice, a room manager from SM ran in.
