I am the savior of China Entertainment

“When Chinese pop culture goes abroad, what else do we need to do?”

This is a very popular video on Station B. Video UP analyzes the situation of the album "We are young" in Europe and the United States from a professional perspective, media comments, market feedback and other aspects.

Although "We are young" is an English album, the singer Li He is Chinese.

Li Hyuk himself also revealed that he wants to let more European and American fans know him through this English album, and then promote his Chinese album.

Judging from the popularity, Li Hyuk did it and even brought positive feedback to his Chinese songs, so that the number of clicks on the songs increased a lot.

In terms of media, European and American media are generally correct and do their best to propagate and create threats to Li Hyuk.

The Chinese media responded tit for tat, claiming that this was progress in the field of popular culture and that the world finally heard the voice of China.

It is estimated that the domestic traffic stars and capital would never have dreamed that Li Hyuk, just a singer, could achieve such influence, making global media such as the New York Times, AFP, and The Times compete.

Report.

Aren’t news about celebrities supposed to appear in Weibo’s hot searches and entertainment headlines? Shouldn’t news like today’s official announcement of love, tomorrow’s official announcement of breakup, and the day after tomorrow that my brother is so handsome?

Why is Li Hyuk so special? What is so special about him?

In fact, to achieve Li Hyuk's achievements, simply calling him a superstar is too narrow. Now, he has a brand new title: artist.

With the development of the times, people have found that it is increasingly difficult for artists like before to appear.

Nowadays, these top celebrities probably sold their bodies in brothels in ancient times. In ancient times, aristocratic families were like this.

Of course, Li Hyuk is still not qualified to be a pop music artist. He still needs to make more achievements and achieve greater achievements.

Just as "We Are Young" continues to dominate the world's pop music market, the music movie "The Untold Secret" co-invested by Jiaxing Power Studio, Bona Pictures, Penguin Pictures, Maoyan Pictures, etc.

The project was officially established in Beijing.

The film was directed and acted by Li Hyuk, and a preliminary press conference was held in Beijing.

"Excuse me, you have been a singer and an actor. Does this change to director mean a complete transformation in the future?" a reporter asked.

Li Hyuk answered calmly: "At every stage of life, I always want to try new things. I think directing is an interesting career, so I want to try it. Of course, the music career is still my main career."

"Then what type of movie will "The Secret That Cannot Be Telled" be?" Another reporter stood up and asked.

"It is a musical movie, and music will play a large role in the movie." Li Hyuk replied.

"Is it similar to Indian musicals and dance movies?"

As we all know, the last Chinese-language musical and dance film was "One Step Away" by Jiang Wen, but this film was a smash hit. It can be seen that musical and dance films in China are somewhat acclimatized.

Indian movies, on the other hand, dance when they disagree with each other, which is quite embarrassing to watch.

So Li Hyuk replied: "No, I think it is closer to the youth feature film mode, with a bit of suspense."

The reporters who were able to come to the press conference were all our own, and they all received red envelopes. So when reporting, they boasted in all kinds of ways and did not hesitate to praise Li He.

And Power Studio, Bona Pictures, and Penguin Pictures all bought enough drafts to build momentum for Li Hyuk's new movie.

The good market response of "Initial D" has given the market a certain degree of confidence in Lee Hyuk. But whether to become a director across different fields? This is open to question.

Former directors who crossed over into different industries, such as Guo Xiaosi, did not have a good reputation. Korean writers had mixed reviews, and the films they produced were okay at the box office, but their reputation was average.

It is no longer uncommon for other hosts to become directors, and for variety show stars to become directors.

Not everyone can be a director, so you can only imagine what achievements these mid-career directors can achieve.

Therefore, netizens have some doubts about Lee Hyuk crossing over to become a director, and doubt whether he can do this job well. However, fans are firmly supportive and believe that Lee Hyuk is the best in everything.

If you doubt, just doubt, Li Hyuk thought. When the public's expectations are lower and doubts are more, then the movie comes out, it will have a bottoming out effect.

I didn’t have high expectations, but the quality of the movie is beyond imagination and will make more movie fans curious and enter the cinema.

After the press conference, formal preparations for "The Secret That Can't Be Told" began, and casting work was also in progress.

"This is Liu Hao, an experienced assistant director. He will help you manage the crew." On the first working day of the crew, producers such as Da Mi Mi Power selected crew members for Li He.

"This is photographer Du Kefeng, who won the best photography award and will serve as your photographer."

"Hello, Director Li, please take care of me."

"You should take care of me..." Li He smiled.

Next, the main members of the crew, such as costumes and props, producers, lighting engineers, etc., all returned to their positions one by one. Crew candidates for each group were recruited by the person in charge of these groups. If there is a problem, just go to the person in charge.

The behind-the-scenes staff of a film project may require hundreds or even thousands of people if it is a large-scale investment and production.

After the crew was set up, Da Mi Mi and Li He sat in the crew and held a preparatory meeting.

"I hope to find a school with beautiful scenery, preferably a seaside city with a long seaside road..." Li He made a request to the location team.

The location team selected several suitable places, and Li He discussed with Da Mi Mi: "I think Xiamen is good, a seaside city, and the scenery is also good."

Da Maimi smiled and said: "You can do whatever you think is good..."

So the filming location was decided. The producer and the location team would first go to Xiamen to inspect and select a suitable school.

"As for the choice of the heroine, do you have any suitable candidates?" Li Hyuk asked.

Assistant director Liu Hao commented: "Based on the script, I think Zhou Dongyu is very suitable."

"I think Zhao Lusi..."

"No, Zhou Dongyu is reliable, but Zhao Lusi obviously doesn't have the temperament of a heroine."

"Okay," Li He interrupted everyone's argument: "Send an audition invitation to both of them, and then send an audition invitation to Zhou Yutong as well."

"Okay, director..."

After the meeting with the crew, Lee Hyuk went on to have a meeting with several musicians from Fantasy Records. They and Lee Hyuk will be responsible for the soundtrack work in the movie.

Li Hyuk could complete seven or eight songs by himself, including the theme song, and he only remembered so much.

So Lee Hyuk first listened to the music style of the entire OST for the musicians and asked them to write some songs. Finally, Lee Hyuk comprehensively considered which music would be suitable to be included in the movie.

About the invitation to audition for the heroine, the news spread quickly, and interested people in the industry started to take action.

Although it is strange why Reba is not the heroine, this is the heroine of Li Hyuk's first movie, so it must be a hot topic.

Among them, the most unexpected ones belong to Zhao Lusi and Zhou Yutong.

The two of them are relatively well-known and have gained a bit of popularity by starring in some small web dramas. However, they were really surprised to receive an invitation to audition for the leading role.

I am surprised and excited at the same time. If I can win the female lead, my career will take a big step forward regardless of whether the movie is successful or not.

Moreover, those crazy fans will probably support Lee Hyuk's first movie, and the box office won't be too bad either.

Compared with the two people's excitement, Zhou Dongyu simply refused. Maybe he felt that Li Hyuk was unreliable, or maybe he didn't want to act in a youth movie again.

Moreover, she was a prestigious Golden Horse Award-winning actress, but she actually auditioned, and the price dropped after word spread.

Li Hyuk was not surprised when he received the news that Zhou Dongyu had rejected the audition. The ideal candidate for the heroine was not him from the beginning.

In addition to the heroine, the other characters in the film, Ye Xianglun's father, are played by Fa Ge. Lu Xiaohan plays a person who plays the piano with Ye Xianglun, his name is Xiaohan.

For other roles, Li He asked his friends to make guest appearances. Xu Song, Deng Ziqi, and Da Mi Mi all also appeared.

Reba clamored to participate, but the heroine couldn't be given, so Li He simply gave the role of a daughter, a female classmate who can see Lu Xiaoyu.

With such a willful casting, it seems that Lee Hyuk is not a novice director. The key is that production companies such as Bona Pictures and Penguin Pictures also support it. They will foot the bill for Lee Hyuk to do whatever he wants.

Of course, these two companies are not stupid. The reason for supporting Li Hyuk is not only because of Li Hyuk's popularity and the support of a large number of fans. It is also because the production cost of this film is not high. The total investment is only more than 100 million, which is not enough for some top-notch movies.

What about the salary of fresh meat for starring in TV series?

Therefore, it is not difficult to recover the film investment and even make a fortune. The two companies also gave Li Hyuk great authority.

Of course, the person who supports Li He the most is Da Mimi. She alone spent 30 million, accounting for 30% of the investment share.

If the movie loses money, Da Mi Mi will ask Li Hyuk to sell himself to repay...

Hmm... Selling it to the Great Power, this deal is quite cost-effective.
