2003 was a very important year for Korean entertainment.
Since this year, South Korea's entertainment industry has experienced great development and evolved to a whole new level.
Also starting from this year, Korean entertainment programs began to become an important part of TV stations and were widely welcomed.
Yoo Jae-seok, Kang Ho-dong and Shin Dong-yeop, the three major national MCs, also began to take over completely from this year, establishing the landscape of Korean entertainment.
The development of entertainment programs has also given artists more choices. The biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly the Spartan in front of Xiao Qian.
This muscular man who debuted as a singer has been active in the Korean entertainment industry for more than ten years with the help of entertainment programs. He can be said to be an evergreen tree that never grows old.
Compared with him, most of the singers who clung to their profession and never gave up their voices gradually lost their voices.
Having fully witnessed Kim Jong-guo's career path, Xiao Qian certainly knows how to plan.
But his thoughts caused great trouble to Kim Jong Kook.
After all, Kim Jong Kook's life has changed.
In his previous life, Kim Jong Kook went solo directly after Turbo disbanded. As early as 2001, he released his first solo album, which achieved very good results.
By 2003, Kim Jong Kook regularly starred in "XMAN". Relying on luck and friendship, he created an unsurpassed classic and completely established a foothold in the entertainment field.
But in this life, Kim Jong Kook joined the army after Turbo was disbanded. It was not until 2003 that he just returned to the entertainment industry.
At this time, all he could think about was how to regain his glory in the music industry. But Xiao Qian told him that he had to appear in a variety show.
This is very different from Kim Jong Kook's expectations.
"Shouldn't I prepare a comeback album? Appearing on the show will only delay my music."
Xiao Qian has a lot of black marks on her head and feels that it is not so good to give artists too much autonomy.
"In the future, the entertainment industry will definitely become more open and integrated, with richer information dissemination methods and more publicity methods. In the future, the boundaries between artists will become more and more blurred. Singers can act and actors can star in movies.
Programs and comedians can also sing. So if you want to develop better in the future, it is most important to master more and more skills. Not only must I return as a singer, but I must also make a sound in other fields."
Hearing that Xiao Qian had not given up on her music career, Kim Jong-guo showed a satisfied smile.
Kim Jong Kook also knows that it will be very beneficial to him if he can make a difference in both music and entertainment fields.
However, when I heard that Kim Jong Kook was asked to appear in a variety show, others were very puzzled.
"With a straightforward personality like Zhong Guo, will he be funny if he appears on a show?"
Luo Chongxi's remarks were recognized by everyone.
They are all friends with Kim Jong Kook, and everyone knows very well that Kim Jong Kook is a straight man. And the variety shows that everyone is familiar with have a lot of humor.
Is the Admiralty Parliament funny?
Even Kim Jong Kook himself is worried. What can he do by appearing in a variety show?
"The representative asked me to act, so I just messed around."
Xiao Qian could only sneer at the pessimism of these people.
You people have no idea what Kim Jong Kook is doing in variety shows.
Others who appear on the show are trying their best to promote themselves, but this guy actually engages in ambiguity openly on the show, and all the viewers like it.
Luo Chongxi was nervous when she heard that Xiao Qian had arranged a variety show for Kim Jong-guo.
"No matter what, Jong Kook is a singer. His fans must also hope that he can return as a singer. This cannot be delayed."
Luo Chongxi has no objection to appearing in variety shows.
It is definitely a good thing for artists to have more activities and appear more on TV. But they must not forget their own jobs, otherwise they will lose all their original fans.
Xiao Qian smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, I'm ready."
When Kim Jong Kook retired from the army, Xiao Qian knew how to take care of his fans. At this time, how could he ignore the fans' feelings?
"Brother, be mentally prepared. You will be very tired next time."
Xiao Qian is not joking.
Since he has to appear in variety shows and release songs, Kim Jong Kook's time must be extremely tight.
But Kim Jong Kook didn't care, on the contrary he was happier.
I have been in the army for two years without any income. I have already spent a lot of the money I earned before.
If you don’t work hard, your wife won’t be able to save enough.
Xiao Qian didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise, he would definitely be hit.
You don’t even have a wife, how can you save money for a wife?
Although the first scheduled schedule was to star in "Xman" on a regular basis, the first job that Kim Jong Kook started working on was still music.
Because he had to accommodate Xiao Qian, he didn't have much time to stay in Korea.
"This is the title song prepared for you. If you weren't in a group, your voice would be very delicate and full of emotion. It would be a waste not to sing a ballad."
Xiao Qian was very trouble-free and directly took out the title songs "Because I'm a Man" and "I Wish You Happiness" from the first album of her previous life, Kim Jong Kook.
They are all good songs and are Kim Jong Kook's masterpieces, so there is no need to waste them.
The demo is still sung by Chen Shuai.
This guy's voice is inherently delicate and euphemistic, so it was just right for him to sing the demo for Kim Jong Kook.
Kim Jong Kook listened, hummed a few lines along with the demo, and showed a satisfied smile.
"No need to dance, just sing quietly, it's really good."
Strictly speaking, Kim Jong Kook's singing voice is actually not suitable for dance music.
It is too sharp and condensed, which is very suitable for listeners to quietly appreciate the smoothness of the sound. However, when used in dance music, it will appear sharp and high-pitched, making it difficult to achieve balance.
This is also the reason why Kim Jong Kook is still successful and even more popular after his solo career.
Jin Zhongguo also knew his own strengths and weaknesses. He felt very comfortable when he saw that Xiao Qian had prepared a quiet ballad. Having a boss who understood him so well made working really comfortable.
"As long as you like it, we'll start recording in the afternoon."
When recording songs for Turbo in the past, Xiao Qian cursed a lot. But when recording songs for Kim Jong Kook alone, the speed was very fast.
Jin Zhongguo quickly understood the key points Xiao Qian explained, and after trying it a few times, he was able to sing it well.
Xiao Qian and Jin Zhongguo agreed that the reason why turbo recording went so poorly in the past was all due to Shen Zaiyuan.
Shim Jae-won, who has taken up the position of dance teacher at SM Company, is carefully supervising TVXQ's dance. For some reason, a cold wind suddenly blew up in the warm room, making him shiver.
You won't catch a cold, right?
No, you must wear more clothes.
It took Xiao Qian five days to record the two songs for Kim Jong-guo, and she hurried back to China without even taking a breath.
If he doesn't come back, Quentin will throw his white gloves at him.
After a year and a half of filming, the Sino-US co-production "Kill Bill" is finally about to be released.
This time, because it is a co-production, it is truly released simultaneously in China and the United States, making both countries bloom.
Miramax did a very sensational promotion for the release of the movie, and even rented a large screen in New York's Times Square to display advertisements.
In China, Starlight also cooperated with the promotion, and stars from all walks of life appeared one after another, which has already aroused the expectations of the outside world.
Everyone wants to see what the difference is between action movies co-produced by China and the United States.
On November 1st, a long red carpet was laid at the entrance of the Grand Guangming Cinema in Shanghai.
Media from all walks of life gathered and their eyes were focused on both sides of the red carpet.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, stars and celebrities began to arrive one after another, and countless films were murdered.
There are many people who want to take advantage of the cooperation between Starlight and Hollywood. Many of them are invited by Starlight and come here for favors.
Xiao Qian did not go to join in the excitement of the premiere. Although she came to the scene, she and Li Qingjue wore masks and pretended to be audience members. They entered the venue very late just to watch the movie.
"This movie is very popular outside. Is the quality okay?"
Li Qingjue was influenced by Xiao Qian and was also full of worries about foreigners making Chinese-style action movies.
"If Miramax and Quentin were allowed to make it on their own, this movie would be absolutely stupid. But with our company involved, it would be a masterpiece."
While the two of them were muttering, the movie started.
The plot at the beginning is almost the same as the original version.
The bride who was about to get married was found by a killer organization and was brutally beaten, and the child was not saved. Although the screen shook sharply, Quentin's violent aesthetics was still perfectly presented, making the audience scream and enjoy watching it.
Later, the bride woke up in the hospital, paralyzed, and was assaulted by a male doctor. Fortunately, with the help of a female doctor who was also Chinese, she narrowly escaped from the hospital.
The female doctor took the bride back home. A traditional Chinese doctor appeared and gave an acupuncture performance. The bride's numb legs were actually able to move.
When the Chinese audience saw this scene, they just took it for granted.
But at the same time, in movie theaters in North America, foreigners were talking about it and they just thought it was amazing.
