Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

The next day after returning to Yanjing, good news came.

"Full House" broke the 34% viewership rating when it premiered in South Korea, becoming the prime-time ratings champion.

Moreover, it has a very good reputation and is called a "milestone work in Korean dramas."

This is not an exaggeration, because this drama marked the beginning of the transformation of Korean dramas from tragedy to comedy.

First of all, although the plot could not escape the tangled love triangle, the overall plot atmosphere was a change from the previous Korean drama's heart-wrenching routine of "car accident, cancer, and incurable".

Secondly, Rain, Song Hye Kyo, Han Eun Jung, Kim Sung Soo, Lee Young Eun, etc., are all handsome men and beautiful women, very pleasing to the eye.

Finally, the description of the characters' psychology and the portrayal of details are very accurate. The various scenes of love and hate between the heroine and the hero satisfy the audience's various fantasies about romantic love and give them a strong sense of immersion.

Starting from today, the drama "Full House" will be broadcast in more than 20 countries including China, the United States, and Japan.

A TV series, from preparation, shooting to post-production, requires a huge investment of manpower, material and financial resources. The ultimate goal is naturally to achieve commercial profit. Selling the copyright to more countries and regions will undoubtedly bring returns to investors and producers.

In terms of popularity, the drama is as popular in China as it is in South Korea.

The reason for this is largely due to the influence of the previous hit "Meteor Garden".

"Meteor Garden" has set off an idol drama craze among young people with its romantic plot, handsome and beautiful cast and fashionable visual style, making idol dramas one of the most popular drama genres among young people today.

Against this backdrop, "Full House", as an idol drama of the same type, attracted the attention of many young audiences as soon as it was aired and achieved quite good ratings.

However, as the saying goes, "Fame brings trouble," the same is true for TV dramas. Once a drama becomes popular, all kinds of troubles will follow.

After learning that the drama was distributed by Julang Film and Television, some people began to post online to vent their dissatisfaction, pointing their spearheads directly at Shen Lang and accusing him of vigorously promoting "Korean Wave" culture as a leader of Chinese entertainment.

Speaking of Hallyu, it can be traced back to November 1999, 11, when a Chinese media used the term Hallyu for the first time when reporting on the popularity of Korean dramas such as "Dae Jang Geum" in China and the popularity of Korean groups such as CLON and HOT among young Chinese people.

The Korean Wave has only been around for seven years. In 7, CCTV introduced the first Korean drama "What is Love?", and this year is also known as the "first year of the Korean Wave". In 1997, HOT held a concert at the Yanjing Workers' Stadium. In that era when information dissemination was not convenient, the 2000 concert tickets were sold out. The Korean Wave spread from Seoul to Yanjing and successfully captured the hearts of young Chinese people.

If divided by time period, the second half of the 90s was the period when the "first generation of Hallyu" was popular, mainly based on TV dramas and other film and television content. After entering the 21st century, the popular Korean cultural phenomenon centered on idol singers and other stars can be called the "second generation of Hallyu."

"These people are really weird. This matter has nothing to do with you." After seeing the posts targeting Shen Lang on the Internet, Gao Yuanyuan was so angry that her face turned red and her chest heaved slightly with anger. She really couldn't understand how these people could make such groundless accusations against Shen Lang without any evidence.

The filming of "The Untold Story" was completed three days ago, and she returned to Yanjing after attending the wrap-up banquet.

"What they said is not entirely wrong. The Korean Wave has a great influence on our culture. But I think the solution to this problem is not 'restriction', but to make ourselves stronger." Shen Lang just shook his head slightly. As a time traveler, he personally experienced the rise and fall of the Korean Wave, and knew better than anyone what the Korean Wave brought.

It can be said that Korean Wave has almost dominated the youth of several generations. It is this subtle cultural input that has influenced the outlook on life, values ​​and love of some people born in the 80s, 90s and even 00s to a certain extent.

As a country that started out relying on foreign trade, the Korean economy is highly dependent on the international market, and Koreans have maximized the things that can be exported. This is also the objective reason why Hallyu has become a fashion culture in China.

In fact, in addition to South Korea, Europe, the United States, Japan, Thailand and other countries are all exporting culture to us, such as European and American superhero movies, Japanese two-dimensional anime, and Thai ladyboys.

In Shen Lang's view, cultural development and competition is a long and complex process. Instead of imposing various restrictions, it is better to give others a taste of their own medicine.

When he first entered the entertainment industry, although making money was his main purpose, he also had a greater vision in his heart, which was to promote "Chinese Wave" to the world.

Take Hanfu, a traditional Chinese clothing with its elegant and flowing style and exquisite embroidery, for example, which carries the heritage of Chinese civilization for thousands of years. He wears Hanfu in various activities and performances, giving more people the opportunity to appreciate the unique charm of Hanfu and allowing Hanfu to gradually emerge on the international stage.

For example, Chinese, as a linguistic treasure that has been passed down by the Chinese nation for thousands of years, he is also promoting it with all his efforts.

Chinese songs and Chinese films are his main focus. He sings Chinese songs on tour, and their moving melodies and affectionate lyrics are sung all over the world. As for Chinese films, he carefully selects excellent works and presents them to global audiences through international film festivals, film and television cooperation and other channels, allowing everyone to feel the unique narrative style and artistic charm of Chinese films.

The filming of the drama "Full House" is actually aimed at establishing a closer cooperative relationship with Korean TV stations and laying the foundation for a series of subsequent cultural export plans.

Later, Shen Lang will turn Korean dramas that were quite influential in their original time and space, such as "Descendants of the Sun", "My Love from the Star", "Queen of Tears", etc., into domestic dramas.

While retaining the wonderful plot and attractive story structure of the original drama, more Chinese cultural elements are incorporated and performed in Chinese, and then exported to South Korea, so that Korean audiences and global audiences can feel the charm of "Chinese Wave" from these works, thereby enhancing the influence of Chinese Wave on the international cultural stage.

Of course, he also knows that his own power is very limited. If he wants to export Chinese culture to the world, he will face countless difficulties and challenges, but success depends on human efforts.

"But, I can't seem to help you." Gao Yuanyuan lowered her head slightly, a hint of loneliness in her eyes, and spoke in a slightly depressed voice.

"Who said you can't help me?" Shen Lang looked at her like this, stretched out his arms and gently hugged her, speaking in a firm tone with a bit of doting.

"Ah?" Gao Yuanyuan raised her head and looked at him with a little surprise and confusion in her eyes.

"After the tour is over next year, my schedule will be free. I plan to shoot a few movies, and you can be my leading lady then." Shen Lang explained to her patiently with a smile on his face.

"Do you want to pause the music here?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

Being a singer has always been Shen Lang's main occupation, and he has devoted himself to it. It is now flourishing. If he suspends this work because of filming a movie, the loss will be huge.

"No need to pause, keep releasing albums. I have plenty of stock, enough for you to use." Shen Lang gently squeezed her palm and said in a relaxed tone.

How long does it take to copy songs? Even if I have to devote all my energy to filming the movie, I can still ensure the continued development of the music side.

The music industry is booming and must not be interrupted. He has already made arrangements.

"That's good." Gao Yuanyuan was relieved when she heard that. Her frown relaxed and a smile appeared on her face. She asked, "What movie is it? Can you act in it?"

"One is 'Detective', a collaboration with my brother, in which you played the ex-wife of my character. After that, you starred in all the other films, including the science fiction film 'Lucy', the anti-fraud crime film 'All or Nothing', and the suspense crime film 'Her Vanished.'" Shen Lang introduced them while gently stroking her soft hair.

"Fighter" is a typical movie with two male protagonists, and the female characters have relatively less room to play in it. No matter which one you star in, the difference is not huge, mainly in the other three parts, where the female characters have very heavy roles.

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan was like a lazy and cute kitten, nestling in Shen Lang's arms, with a curious light in her eyes, and said: "I know "Detective", can you tell me about the other three."

“Yes, Lucy is about a drug dealer who was forced to sell drugs between the United States and Asia. However, while evading the police, she was injured and forced to inject a mysterious substance called ‘CPH4’ into her body.

This substance produced a miraculous reaction in her body, causing her body to undergo extraordinary changes. Her brain development continued to improve, and she gained extraordinary abilities, including telepathy, telekinesis, instant movement, and super memory.

As her potential develops, she begins to use these abilities to find her own destiny and try to change the world. At the same time, her conflicts with gangs around the world intensify, eventually triggering a global war. "

Overall, this is a film without any dragging emotions or complicated character relationships. It is a film that purely provides an in-depth interpretation of a science fiction concept.

This simple and bright style is very helpful in highlighting the protagonist, who is one of the coolest female characters.

In the original time and space, the protagonist was played by Scarlett Johansson.

Shen Lang knew very well that in terms of acting skills, Gao Yuanyuan could not be compared with Scarlett Johansson.

However, now when he makes or invests in films, he no longer just focuses on the goal of making money, he has begun to try different things.

For example, they promoted Gao Yuanyuan and made her the number one Asian actress in the entertainment industry.

"Lucy" was a good opportunity, and it didn't matter if it failed. The cost of 4000 million US dollars was within his affordability.

"All or Nothing" and "Gone Girl" are films with high box office and low ratings, so we will just treat them as experience points.

High box office means that the film has a broad audience base and high market attention. Even if the score is low and there are some controversies in artistic evaluation, it is undeniable that the exposure opportunities brought by such high popularity are very rare. Through her performances in these films, Gao Yuanyuan can accumulate performance experience in big-budget, highly topical films, and gradually expand her influence in the entertainment industry and enhance her popularity.

Then watch "Lucy", and the effect will be more ideal.

After listening to the synopsis of the three films, Gao Yuanyuan showed a look of joy on her face. The next moment, she couldn't help but move closer to Shen Lang and kissed him gently on the mouth. Then, she said with full sweetness: "You are so nice."

Yes, she likes them all.

Because it means so much to her and breaks the long-standing stereotype of her among the audience - a vase.

In the past, audiences may have been attracted only by her appearance and overlooked her potential as an actress.

These three roles are each profound and challenging, requiring her to show rich emotions, complex psychological changes and strong acting ability.

This also gives her the opportunity to prove to the audience that she is not just a pretty face, but an actor with acting skills who can handle a variety of roles.

Shen Lang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a wicked smile, and said, "One kiss is not enough."

The filming of a play means several months of separation. For Gao Yuanyuan, who is immersed in the sweet whirlpool of love, every minute and every second of separation is torment.

At this moment, I finally got together with Shen Lang. The strong longing that had accumulated over the previous months of separation was like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time and was on the verge of erupting.

So, the moment Shen Lang said that, Gao Yuanyuan was like a swift cheetah, pressing Shen Lang under her, with blazing flames burning in her eyes, and she actively and enthusiastically launched this "battle" like a storm.

The land of gentleness is indeed so charming that one cannot help but linger there. I have not gone out for three days since returning to Yanjing.

If it weren’t for the premiere of “New Police Story”, Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan didn’t know how long they would last.

This movie is scheduled to be released on May 5th. Gao Yuanyuan is one of the leading actors and Shen Lang is one of the investors, so they cannot be absent.

In fact, Jackie Chan is a very good springboard. By cooperating with him, there is the possibility of entering overseas markets and expanding international visibility.

However, it cannot be ignored that the female characters in his films usually face a dilemma, which is that it is difficult for them to show outstanding performances in the films.

Moreover, several of his later Hollywood films were not very popular, such as "The Forbidden Kingdom" starring Li Qiaoqiao and Liu Yifei. The final results were not satisfactory. In terms of box office, it did not achieve outstanding results and failed to attract audiences to go to the theaters and pay for it; in terms of word of mouth, it did not win everyone's favor, and various negative reviews emerged one after another.

The main purpose of arranging Gao Yuanyuan to participate in "New Police Story" and "Baby Project" is simply to allow her to continue to maintain exposure on the screen.

In the highly competitive entertainment industry, if an actor has no works appearing in the audience's field of vision for a long time, he or she will easily be forgotten by the public or replaced by newcomers.

Even if the role you play does not have important lines, you must appear more often in the film and on the screen. This way you can constantly make your presence felt and keep the audience remembering you.

2pm, Yanjing, Spark Cinema. (End of this chapter)
