In a certain hotel in Shanghai, Liu Zaishi, Kim Taeho, and many staff members gathered in the suite.
"Director, do you think Mr. Leslie Cheung can come?" As soon as the screenwriter finished speaking, others turned their heads, looking forward to his answer.
Kim Tae-ho is actually not good-looking and has a bit of a sinister look, but this does not prevent him from becoming a famous variety show director.
"It's hard to say." He stood up and went to the window and lit a cigarette: "Looking at the situation, this director has a good relationship with Leslie Cheung. Didn't you see them chatting? They didn't know they were recording a program at the beginning.
Very casual.”
"Can't you learn from me and quit smoking?" Liu Zaishi looked at him with disgust.
Jin Taehao looked at the cigarette in his hand, smiled and said nothing.
"The relationship is definitely good," Yoo Jae Suk confirmed Kim Tae Ho's opinion: "It's just saying hello to good friends."
"I have read reports," a staff member said: "When Leslie Cheung made the movie, he played a game with Andy Lau and won the leading role. Both of them acted for free. Some time ago, the director gave one person 250 million
dividends."
The staff were quite surprised. Their monthly salary and bonus were estimated to be four to five million. A good estimate would be more than one million for a new employee. It would be amazing if it suddenly exceeded 100 million. It was given proactively. It was inevitable that they would be amazed.
The salary in South Korea may be higher than in China, but the income of artists is very extreme. For a top host like Yoo Jae-seok, the recording of one episode of the program is about 50,000 yuan, which is not comparable to that in China.
This is why many Korean artists come to China to make money. One day of work is worth ten and a half months back home.
"Even friends depend on the time," Liu Zaishi said with open eyes: "Although we agreed on the phone, we still prepare for the worst. If we don't have hope, we won't be disappointed.
After all, it is Mr. Leslie Cheung. If he really wants to come, he can do it as a special episode. If he promotes it well, the ratings may explode."
More than a dozen people nodded at the same time.
"What are you doing with your free time" was actually not very popular at the beginning, or it should be said that the idea of getting up early was not recognized by the audience.
That would mean giving the host a camera and asking him to pass it on to fellow artists to take pictures of what they are doing.
As a result, because no one was in charge of the overall situation and there was no clear route, the resulting video was very messy and not interesting enough. At one point, it took a whole day to shoot and only a few minutes were usable.
Kim Tae-ho saw something was wrong and had to change it.
He immediately made changes and started the supporting role routine, and then succeeded in one fell swoop, from a trot singer, to a fried chicken delivery, to a member of a group, the ratings are getting higher and higher, and even just half a year ago, it has already been booked, it must be a variety show on MBC TV station
Grand prize winner.
It is not easy to bring four female singers together to form a group this time. Not only the director team has put in the hard work, but even the top executives of the TV station are helping to coordinate, hoping to boost the ratings again.
Asking Qin Xiaobao to compose music was mentioned by an editor in successive meetings. After research, I found that it was really suitable.
What is currently playing is the trio of Yoo Jae Suk, Lee Hyori, and Rain, singing retro songs, all Koreans.
Immediately they were a group again, still singing, and they overlapped to a certain extent.
So come up with new ideas.
I took out Qin Xiaobao's information and looked at it. Oh, it's not easy!
He is an all-around player, director, singer, and can write songs. The key is that he is not only famous in China, but also has a certain degree of popularity around the world. He even has a fan group in South Korea, which is very formal and requires payment of membership fees.
species, with thousands of people.
You know, Qin Xiaobao has never even been here.
In particular, one song has been at the top of the Billboard charts for four consecutive weeks, an achievement that Korean musicians only dream of.
As a guest appearance, it is completely qualified.
However, the coordination process was not as simple as they thought. At first they were rejected outright, then they thought about it, and finally agreed, and the price they paid was also very high.
In South Korea, a song can’t actually be sold for much money, and subsequent clicks and downloads from major websites and other income account for the bulk.
When working with Kiwi, everything remains as usual, except for the acting fee, and a copyright fee, which means that the remaining expenses have been paid in advance this time.
As for the effect... I can only say that the money spent is worth it.
After recording for several hours, Qin Xiaobao's performance was remarkable, and it was an unexpected surprise that he was connected to Leslie Cheung live, not to mention the rock song.
Say one thousand, say ten thousand, the main purpose is to sing, if the song is good, everything will be good.
"That's right, we can make preparations first. If it does come, I can ask for more funds from the station." Jin Taihao put down the cigarette butt and walked back: "By the way, call the people who haven't come yet.
, let them buy some red ginseng, which can be given to Director Qin as a gift."
"I understand." The editor nodded.
"Buy more and I'll pay for it." Yoo Jae Suk said, "I'm sorry for inviting so many of us to dinner at noon. He's a guest."
In South Korea, it is normal for a senior to pay the bill. Qin Xiaobao has only been out for a long time, and he doesn't even get a fraction of it.
"OK!"
"Do you think my sisters will like this song?" someone asked.
"Definitely, you have to believe my ears," Liu Zaishi nodded to himself: "I still have a certain level of music appreciation. I have no doubt that if this song is brought to the United States, it will achieve good results.
.
Qin Xiaobao didn't hide anything and produced his best work, which is great."
"Yes, I was shocked when I heard it during our meeting yesterday." Jin Taihao sat over and said, "Some domestic composers have also appreciated it, and the answer they gave was admiration, and it will definitely become popular."
When shooting abroad, efficiency is very important. Every extra day you stay is an extra day spent.
The results were so gratifying that both the director and the host were very relaxed.
"When will Miss Yan Zhenghua and the others arrive?"
"Around seven o'clock in the evening," someone immediately replied: "But Huasha has made an announcement today and will make the earliest flight tomorrow so that the filming will not be delayed."
"Okay," Jin Taihao picked up his notebook: "How is the contact at the coffee shop?"
"We have already negotiated that the second floor will be dedicated to us for 3,000 yuan a morning. We have also tried the sound system and it works well. It is completely separate from the first floor."
"Three thousand is not expensive," Liu Zaishi said with a smile.
"Then if we were in South Korea, it would be free for us to film the show."
"You also know that in South Korea, people don't do business to film your program, so it's cheaper to be in Shanghai." Yoo Jae-shik was very open-minded: "And even in China, some stores don't want the program crew to go in for filming."
"Yes." It's only a few thousand dollars, and the huge program team doesn't really care, it's just a talk.
"Then how to solve the recording problem?"
Qin Xiaobao and Liu Zaishi can leave it alone. As the program team, they must find a way.
"Let's do this," Kim Tae-ho was actually thinking about this issue during the filming.
"First of all, go and communicate with Kiwi Tao. When did Director Qin start to have no schedule? This is what we need to confirm," he issued the instruction: "Second, confirm the schedule of the four actors.
If it's OK, I'll finish the song directly in China, at the recording studio I went to in the morning.
As for the later choreography, music videos and the like, they can be in the form of videos, what do you think?"
