Mister Legend

Chapter 246
In the past ten years, Kimchi TV dramas can be said to have swept the entire Southeast Asian market, and at the same time spread their culture to other countries, forming the so-called "Korean Wave".However, due to the country's total population and the number of broadcasting TV stations, their annual TV drama output is at most about 2000 episodes, which is about a hundred dramas.However, as models and idols in the singing world aggressively entered the market, the number of actors increased dramatically. Only the most popular and top-notch artists can guarantee at least one work every year. (Of course it is the leading role, popular artists will not play supporting roles)
But what about our Great Heavenly Dynasty! In the four years from 2013 to 2016, the annual production of TV series has remained at more than 15000 episodes. This is the figure after excluding the 6 episodes that have not been licensed, but this output is already ranked first in the world, far exceeding The most developed old beauty in the entertainment industry.But in stark contrast, there are only about 7000 episodes of TV dramas that can be broadcast every year, and about half of the TV dramas cannot be seen by the audience, which can be called a god-level prodigal.

With the cooling down of investment in the film and television industry, and the gradual improvement of domestic audience tastes, coupled with the continuous publication of GD General Administration to restrict the creation and shooting of TV dramas, the distribution of TV dramas in China this year has been reduced to ten years. lowest point in history.It is expected that there will still be more than 300 dramas and a total of 10000 episodes will be completed before the end of the year. This number is still far beyond the small kimchi country.

The most important thing is that the entertainment circle on the Tianchao side does not discriminate against singers who cross-border to star in film and television dramas, or in other words, there is no clear boundary at all.As long as you are popular enough, who cares what your job is, a pure singer who has never filmed a film or television drama, either has poor acting skills or bad looks, but such people are rare.In the past two years, at least half of the domestic dramas have been occupied by those little fresh meats who only have good looks or even popularity. With Lin Yuner's face against the sky and her high popularity, the chances of getting it are absolute. It will be a handful.

Of course, if it was the former Lin Yuner, some people might still have doubts. Even though her Celestial dialect is basically barrier-free, she has accumulated a certain amount of filming experience in Celestial Dynasty by virtue of "War God Zhao Zilong" and many variety shows. There are still quite a few excellent actresses (or popular ones) in China. Yang, Zhao, Tang, Di and others are all guarantees of high ratings. Investors may not choose Yoona, who is still a foreigner, to take risks.

But now it's completely different, because of Lin Lilian's exposure, Yun'er's fame in the Celestial Dynasty has reached its peak, and in terms of popularity alone, she is worthy of any artist.According to the summary of SM Company during this period, as many as ten Chinese film and television drama production companies and more than [-] large companies have sent TV dramas and advertising endorsement cooperation to this girl under the circumstances that the entertainment restriction order is still high. Intention, this situation is absolutely rare in history for a foreign artist.

With the super popularity and the status of "the prospective daughter-in-law of the Celestial Dynasty" as the backing, Lin Yuner's development in the Celestial Dynasty seems to be an excellent idea. No matter how you analyze it, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, but Father Lin It is still inevitable to be worried, he asked: "I still know a little bit about Xiao Yun's little fame in the Celestial Dynasty, but can I guarantee my survival there by relying on this alone? It is said that Tianchao treats artists very preferentially, with high income and high status, but there should be many people engaged in this job! Even if the market is far larger than that of Kimchi, the pressure of competition will not be much smaller than ours I think the risk of rushing over is still very high.”

Before Li Moody could respond, Sister Lin took the lead and said, "I understand what father means, the prerequisite for Yoona to go to China is not to renew her contract with SM, but if there is no strong operation team behind her to support her If so, it should be very difficult for her to win a position in the fiercely competitive entertainment circle by herself. That circle is far less glamorous than what outsiders see, and there are many dirty and dirty things. If Xiaoyun stays in the kimchi country, SM will help her deal with those affairs, and her father's relationship can also help, but if she goes alone to enter the big country opposite, we are not sure what will happen in the future. There is no way to resist."

Li Modi can fully understand the worries of the father and daughter. Even though China claims to have no racial discrimination, it always has a hidden attitude of suppression when it comes to treating foreign actors.Even the most popular foreign stars are here to make money in the eyes of the Chinese people, and the producers of domestic film and television dramas also use their popularity to get B ratings for their works or to attract fans.So in recent years, many Hollywood stars have begun to frequently appear in some bad movies to play tricks, or even just show up, and then take the benefits and slap their ass and leave, making the audience pay for these dross.

And the people in the entertainment industry in Kimchi Country are far less influential than Laomei, and they can’t achieve the purpose of using this method to cheat money. Therefore, most of the artists from there before went to China to make movies through the cooperation of the two countries and the production of co-productions. carried out in a manner.However, due to various conditions such as the script and acting skills, they failed to come up with anything famous. Even without the introduction of the restriction order, this model has gradually come to an end.

Taking an inventory of the foreign actors (mainly from Japan and Japan) who have filmed TV dramas in China in the past ten years, we can find that most of them, like Zhang Nala, Cai Yan and Park Shiyan, have starred in one or two dramas and can no longer receive TV dramas. It's time to work, only the Japanese actor Koji Yano has a foothold here, but apart from the "devils", he is an unimportant supporting role. If there are no "anti-Japanese dramas", his workload may be pitifully small.

There is only one exception, and that is Choo Ja Hyun, who just officially became the daughter-in-law of the Celestial Dynasty in January this year. Since she starred in the idol drama "Love Fragrance" with Wan Wan in 2003, she has gained a lot of popularity in the Chinese-speaking area. , and then participated in the drama "The Legend of the Banner Heroes" adapted from Gu Long's masterpiece two years later, and then officially entered the film and television circle of China. The "Temptation of Going Home" filmed in 2011 made her the most popular foreign actor in mainland China. Of course, those so-called "patriotic stars" who are obviously native Chinese but choose to become foreign nationalities after becoming famous are not counted.

However, Choo Ja Hyun's experience just proves that the Lin family's father and daughter's concerns are justified. When she came to China to develop her career, she signed a contract under the banner of Nanyue QiangTV Film and Media Co., Ltd.Li Mudi doesn't know much about the reputation of this company, but it can be seen from the production and distribution of many classic works such as Jiao Enjun's version of "Little Li Fei Dao" and Chen Kun's version of "The Family of Gold Fans", the company's strength is still very strong of.As for Choo Ja Hyun's success in China's film and television industry for so many years, apart from her good looks, outstanding language skills and good luck, she is absolutely inseparable from the support and operation of the company behind her.

But even with so many favorable conditions, this actress has not gained much popularity among the younger audiences of Tianchao, and the number of fans may not be as many as that of a second-tier idol group in Kimchi Country, so she can only act Some TV dramas with middle-aged and elderly people as the audience, those popular IPs and hit dramas that can cause a frenzy of ratings are not there.The difficulty for foreign actors to survive in China is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Without external help, basically no one can achieve success, even Lin Yuner is no exception.

After thinking for a while, Li Mudi gave his own answer: "Last year, in order to invest in a TV series, I asked a friend to register a film and television company. Currently, since there is no business, there are not many employees. Only my agent in Tianchao People and a few assistants. But it is definitely not a leather bag company. Because of the special circumstances of the drama I invested in, all the procedures and qualifications of my company are the most sound. If Yoona decides to develop in the Celestial Dynasty, You can sign under the banner of this company called Cambridge Film and Television, and you can even become the boss directly, just like Da Mi Mi, you can decide your own acting career."

Seeing Lin's father's bewildered expression when he heard the word "Da Mi Mi", Li Mudi quickly explained: "This person is a first-line actress in the Celestial Dynasty, whose fame and status are similar to that of Yuner here, and the audience complained about his acting skills. Mishaps..." After avoiding his girlfriend's dissatisfied slapping with a smile, she continued: "After she became famous, she left the original brokerage company. After she became full-fledged, she directly started a company and became her own boss. Afterwards, she made use of her network and convenience to make many newcomers popular. Recently, Di Lieba, who is very popular in Kimchi Country, is an artist under her banner, so everyone Mi Mi can be regarded as a model of success in the entertainment circle of China after establishing her own company, I think Yoona can also follow this path in the future, and she can go even better."

"Whether to be the boss or not will be discussed later, but your company... Moody, don't blame me for speaking badly. That company still sounds a little unreliable to me. Even if it has all the qualifications, it can be mastered." What about the resources? Don’t let Xiaoyun provide much help after signing the contract, but wasting time for nothing, then the gain is not worth the loss. Why not stay in SM and see if you can go to China to develop through cooperation or invitation, just like before .” Father Lin once again raised his own doubts about the development plan of the Celestial Dynasty.

However, Li Mudi couldn't help this question. He smiled confidently, and then replied: "Uncle, I am quite sure about the company's resources. Last year's "In the Name of the People" was published by the Celestial Dynasty for more than ten years." The TV series with the highest ratings ever, a rare success case in the circle in terms of topicality and commercial income, thanks to it, I have also become a relatively well-known investor in the film and television circle, and many companies and TV stations are interested in cooperating with me Cooperation. In addition, there are many actors and entertainers in the circle who are my good friends. With their help, Yoona will not be short of work in the early stages of her development. With her popularity and gradually improving acting skills, a After two plays, I can successfully gain a foothold, and then it will be much easier."

Li Mudi is now the most well-known celebrity in East Asia, especially in China, he is definitely the one on the "President Hill" in the sports world. If he can use his own resources to help his girlfriend escort him, at least in two or three years It should be of great help.After getting the guarantee from the Turin coach, Father Lin gradually figured out the pros and cons, so he looked at his little daughter and expressed his opinion: "I know all about Moody's plan, and it looks good so far. Although this matter You have to make your own decision, but as a father, I still want to remind you that no matter which side you choose, you may lose your career in another country. After all, because of the THAAD issue, the relationship between the two countries will be ruined. The tension is getting worse, and no one knows when it will calm down. So before the final decision, I still hope that you can think about it properly and don't leave any regrets in the future."

These words containing experience and life wisdom are the last help a father who upholds the democratic style of the family can give when facing the most critical crossroads for his children. The rest depends on the parties' own choices.After thinking about it for less than half a minute, Lin Yuner raised her head, looked around the three dear ones with a smile on her face, and responded very chicly: "Anyway, this matter is not in a hurry, SM's contract renewal There is no final moment in the negotiation, so I have a lot of time to consider the gains and losses, and I will discuss with you after I carefully consider some details. Please rest assured, Dad, I will definitely be cautious."

After putting this somewhat heavy topic on hold for the time being, it was already [-]:[-] in the evening. After chatting casually about everyone's life and work status, Li Mudi got up and prepared to say goodbye.Although he is still a little unsatisfied with the communication between the family, but Lin's father can also see that the youngest daughter and the couple are both tired, knowing that it is really hard for them to rush back all the way, especially the prospective son-in-law is from another part of the world. After traveling a long distance and flying to Kimchi Country, he told him to go back to the hotel and rest, and come to chat with him when he has a chance.

Now that she is back in Seoul, Lin Yuner will naturally live at home; and because her husband has to work overtime and will not go home tonight, Lin Yunzhen, mother and son will also rest at their father's side for a night; only the only "outsider" Li Moody had to stay in a hotel, because his girlfriend's house had no extra room.Of course, even if there is a vacant room, he would not dare to choose to stay overnight when his girlfriend's father is at home. It would be too inconvenient.

Due to the double interference of fatigue and bed recognition, the Turin coach barely fell asleep until more than four o'clock in the morning the next day, and it was almost eight o'clock in the morning when he opened his eyes again.He hurriedly got up and sent a message to his girlfriend, and after getting a reply, he took the time to wash up, and then took a taxi to Lin Yuner's home without even eating breakfast.Today is the last time that two people can get along with each other in the near future. It would be a waste if we don't race against time.
