Starlight in 2001, contrary to the silence of last year, has been moving continuously and with great momentum since the first day of the new year.
In the past year, Starlight's business was not much. Whether it was film, television or music, the operating frequency was extremely inconsistent with Starlight's strength.
But as soon as 2001 started, "Lord of Destruction" took the lead.
Not long after, there will be "East and West" waiting for the New Year's Eve.
On January 5th, Starlight Music announced that Tang Hua Ran will return in March.
This idol group, which launched a new style of rock music in China, finally started to operate locally again after operating overseas for almost a year.
In addition, the highly anticipated "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has also been scheduled.
On January 15, it officially landed on CCTV’s prime time slot.
At the same time, the final part of the Condor Trilogy, "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword", has also begun to enter the filming stage.
"Onie, is there anything I need to pay attention to when filming on the Chinese set? Will the seniors also get angry?"
On the plane, Ha Ji-won kept asking questions, which annoyed her agent very much.
This agent was specially arranged by Big Hit. He is Chinese and is a temporary agent. He is mainly responsible for Ha Ji-won’s schedule arrangements during his stay in China.
Although she has been working hard to learn Chinese and Chinese culture, this is Ha Ji-won's first time in China. It is impossible to say that she is not nervous.
Along the way, she didn't know how many questions she asked.
No matter how annoying the agent is, he still has to fulfill his duties.
"Don't worry, this drama is produced by the company. From the director to the starring actors, they are basically colleagues of the company. No one will bully you."
Having said this, the agent thought of something and made another point.
"China is different from South Korea. There is no such thing as seniority. All you need to do is respect your seniors. No matter what the other party says, you have to listen. If you encounter problems, just tell me and I will stand up for you."
Ha Ji-won was shocked.
"Is this okay? Will it cause trouble?"
Knowing that she is a newcomer, her manager is as instructive as an old lady.
"In this world, only those with power, money, and strength are powerful. What nonsense do seniors and juniors talk about? As long as you are powerful, no matter how senior you are, you must be honest."
Ha Ji-won was silent, slowly digesting the agent's words.
In fact, it's not like she hasn't seen the situation the agent mentioned before.
On many occasions, although some seniors are arrogant, they still grovel when facing top superstars.
This is determined by the size of both parties.
The value that top superstars can create is far beyond what ordinary artists can compare with.
This is the capital of top superstars.
When they face their seniors, they will also show respect and humility. But if their seniors want to act recklessly based on their seniority, the end will definitely be miserable.
Just like in many programs, the seniors have to be cautious when facing hot? They are very careful about what they say.
Sometimes, if you accidentally go too far, you can be dissed by hot fans and quit the show.
This is the difference.
Although Ha Ji-won has seen it before, she is still young and has no one to guide her. It will take a few more years of training to understand.
Now, although she is a newcomer? Not yet a top superstar? But with big capital behind her, she is not afraid of any seniors.
The agent's guidance somewhat eased her mood.
After getting off the plane, as soon as I stepped out of the customs, I saw a huge welcome sign.
The two of them happily walked over. Before they even got close, they involuntarily slowed down their steps.
Originally they thought there was only one receptionist sent by Starlight? However, what they saw was that there were more than ten people under the sign.
Not only that? With cameras, microphones, lighting boards, etc., it’s like a small shooting scene.
Because there are so many people and equipment, passers-by look over from time to time.
"Ah, you are so mad? Ha Ji-won xi? We are KBS TV station, Ha Ji-won's wonderful journey program team."
A beautiful female host came up and introduced herself, which made Ha Ji-won suddenly realize.
This was an activity that she had been told about before, but she thought it would start after she settled in. Unexpectedly, the filming started just after she landed in China.
Especially the title of the program made her laugh out loud.
"Why is it called a wonderful journey? Did I do something wonderful?"
The female host's tone was very exaggerated.
"Ha Ji-won xi, don't you know? You are the first Korean artist to shoot in mainland China, and you are also the heroine of a 25 billion production. Many people are curious and full of expectations for you.
.”
This so-called "Ha Ji-won's Wonderful Journey" program is obviously written by Xiao Qian.
In the original time and space of 2001, Korean star Ahn Jae-wook starred in the TV series "White Collar Apartment", which became the beginning of Korean stars appearing in film and television works in China.
Since then, Korean stars such as Jang Nara, Chae Lin, Choo Ja Hyun, Lee Jung Hyun, Chae Yeon, etc. have begun to visit China one after another.
But now time and space have changed, and the person who set foot in the Chinese entertainment industry for the first time became Ha Ji-won.
Unlike Ahn Jae-wook, who is a pure outsider, although Ha Ji-won is also a Korean artist, because it is owned by Xiao Qian, its operation is far more refined and perfect.
Xiao Qian is well versed in the art of hype and publicity, and he also considers the overseas market of his work, so he has arranged everything from the very beginning.
This program "Ha Ji Won's Wonderful Journey" was suggested to KBS TV station by him.
"Blue Life and Death" became a national TV series, making KBS a lot of money, but KBS was not satisfied with this. They tried their best to find more selling points.
As one of the leading actors in the drama, Ha Ji-won was selected as the heroine of a Chinese TV drama, and it is a big production worth 25 billion, which is of course a huge hot spot.
Koreans in this era are very unfamiliar with China, and their impression of China has always been old, old, and shabby, but full of awe.
It was not until the past two years, with the "Opium War" and "October Siege" landing in South Korea, that some Koreans suddenly discovered that China's entertainment and cultural industry is so powerful.
As a country with an export-oriented economy, Koreans naturally care a lot about exports. Whether it is the export of goods or culture, it is a major event worthy of celebration.
Now, a Korean artist is going to star in a Chinese TV series, which will naturally become a hot topic.
Therefore, KBS readily accepted Xiao Qian's proposal and immediately organized a capable force to go to China.
In the next few months, they will shoot closely, faithfully record Ha Ji-won's shooting and activities in China, and indirectly feed back the situation in China to domestic audiences.
Xiao Qian planned this program not just to satisfy the curiosity of Korean audiences.
"Blue Life and Death" is about to land in China, and it also needs publicity and promotion, and Ha Ji-won, one of the starring actors in the show, is the best publicity tool.
If this program can cause repercussions in South Korea, it will indirectly cause repercussions in the country.
No, it's not indirect.
Mr. Xiao from Chicken Thief has used his talents to form a translation team to translate various Korean programs, film and television dramas, etc.
The current first job of this translation team is to work overtime to translate "Blue Life and Death Love".
In order to maintain quality and authenticity, Xiao Qian plans to release a translated version, not a dubbed version.
Anyway, this drama will not be broadcast on CCTV, so there is no need to get a dubbed version.
In fact, whether the translated version or the dubbed version is broadcast does not affect the number of viewers.
If you want to watch it, you will watch it without subtitles. If you don’t like it, you can broadcast it 24 hours a day, but people still won’t watch it.
Xiao Qian gave Amway "Infinite Challenge" to her friends in her previous life, so what?
He wasn't the only one who enjoyed watching it.
Since then, he has understood that many things cannot be forced.
If you like something, just cherish it and appreciate it.
There are about 20 people in this translation team, all of whom are Korean language majors at school.
You can work part-time while studying and improve your professional skills. Why not?
At this scale, there is no difficulty in translating "Ha Ji Won's Wonderful Journey" in addition to "Blue Life and Death Love".
This is the translation of this program. Xiao Qian has not yet decided where it should be broadcast.
Unlike "Blue Life and Death", this program is impossible to land on TV stations anyway. But now there is no professional video website that can become a holy place for Korean entertainment fans.
Forget it, forget it, just work on the production first. After all, it will be a long time before the show is broadcast.
By the way, in order for the translation team to continue to improve over time, Xiao Qian gave them a very resounding name.
