Korean entertainment star

Time: July 27, 2001…

Time flies, and the years pass by like a stream every day as if they are free, and today is destined to be an ordinary but extraordinary day...

The harmonious weather of spring has gone far away, and now it is a scorching summer with the sun shining brightly and the red sun in the sky.

For a few months, Pei Xiuxun's life was still boring. He accompanied Xiuzhi to and from school every day, studying, playing, and practicing piano...

And I would report to the Taekwondo gym every Saturday. In addition, even the only weekend I could have a day of leisure in the past was gone because I became Bai Jianyu's apprentice...

Every weekend, Pei’s father would take Pei Xiuxun to Seoul to receive piano lessons from Bai Jianyu. Pei Xiuxun still enjoyed the assembly-line life...

In just a few months, Pei Xiuxun's piano skills and fingering skills have improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. In terms of composition, Bai Jianyu also personally taught him. In a few months, Pei Xiuxun thought that he had created many pleasant compositions.

It's a beautiful piece of music, but out of the 6 pieces, a full 5 are classified by Bai Jianyu as low-grade or even failed.

Failure is not terrible, but what is terrible is being discouraged because of one failure. Just like Bai Jianyu once said to Pei Xiuxun, "Composing music is not difficult, the difficult thing is to make good music."

Under normal circumstances, top-quality songs need to be composed in a specific environment and a certain kind of perception, just like the first song "I-Believe" that Pei Xiuxun once composed. It is the same as the understanding of artistic conception in martial arts novels.

…

Today is very ordinary for Bae Soo-hoon, but it is not ordinary for some people, because today is the day when "My Sassy Girl" directed by Kwak Jae-yong is released. Likewise, today is also the first turning point in Bae Soo-hoon's ordinary life.

How popular is "My Sassy Girl"? Just look at the topics discussed by people around you. It has been two weeks since the release of "My Sassy Girl". In just 14 days, the entire Gwangju, and even the whole of South Korea, have gone crazy because of "My Sassy Girl".

My Sassy Girl" sparked a wave of 'savage style' craze.

As the saying goes, one word spreads to ten, and it spreads to hundreds, and South Korea itself is also a country that likes to follow trends.

"My Sassy Girl" was originally adapted from a popular Korean online novel. After only 14 days of screening, it caused a sensation in the film industry. Young men and women of both the 10th and 20th generations are following the trend with three points.

Partly half convinced and half doubtful, they all flocked to the cinema to watch this movie, wanting to see for themselves whether this movie is as exciting as the rumors say...

And this is indeed the case. When discussing classic scenes and lines in the film, Pei Xiuxun often heard it from the mouths of passers-by.

The content of the film "My Sassy Girl" is completely consistent with the name. The heroine in the film changes from the gentle and virtuous image commonly seen in Korean films in the past. The beautiful heroine is savage and is more rude and cruel than men. This is a perfect match for the conservative Korean people.

It is a great breakthrough for social culture.

In just 14 days, the box office attendance of 1.86 million is staggering. Regardless of the box office results, "My Sassy Girl" can occupy the front pages of major newspapers just because of the word "novel".

The two-hour-long film revolves around the story of "one girlfriend, two styles, three scripts, and four tender moments." This combination of romance and comedy has achieved unprecedented success in the Korean film industry.

, it also surprised those directors who focus on one series.

As the heroine, Jun Ji-hyun has become a first-line actress in South Korea. Jun Ji-hyun, who debuted as a fashion model, has blinded countless men, and the title of "temperament beauty" has become even louder.

As for Cha Tae-hyun, the male protagonist in the film, he has already appeared in many films since his debut in 1995. He has a friendly boy-next-door temperament, and his cartoon-like sense of humor is unique. He has many support groups in South Korea, and

The movie "My Sassy Girl" even made him vaguely appear to be among the top stars of the Korean Wave.

Of course, it is not just Jun Ji-hyun and Cha Tae-hyun who have gained huge popularity because of "My Sassy Girl". As the director of this movie, Kwak Jae-yong has also won unanimous recognition from the people.

Likewise, everything seems to be as expected by director Kwak Jae-yong, and a classic interlude "I-Believe" in the film has become a popular song that has been heard recently.

There are two versions of "I-Believe". The first version is of course Bae Soo-hoon's original song, a pure piano song, and the second version is a version with lyrics sung by Shin Seung-hoon.

Now in South Korea in 2001, probably everyone knows the name Shin Seung-hun.

It has been 11 years since Shin Seung-hoon debuted in 1990. However, he is currently the singer with the most number of songs ranked first in the Korean music industry in 10 years. As early as 1998, Shin Seung-hoon's album sales exceeded the 10 million mark. It was also the first album in the United States.

One of the few Korean singers with over a million hits.

"Invisible Love", which was written and composed by Shin Seung-hoon, topped the Korean song charts for 14 consecutive weeks and was included in the Guinness Book of World Records. No one has broken it yet.

Shin Seung-hoon, who is now active in the Korean music scene, is known as Korea's "Emperor of Love Songs" and "National Singer".

Of course, as the original composer of "I-Believe", Bae Soo-hoon's lyrical pure piano version of "I-Believe" also "swindled" the tears of countless viewers who watched the movie.

As the original composer of "I-Believe", the name Suzl suddenly became the most popular search on the Internet. Everyone wants to know what kind of person the composer who created "I-Believe" is.

For example, after a song is released, it will inevitably have the name of the lyricist and composer, and the same is true for piano music. The English name Suzl was given to Pei Xiuxun by his father.

It was clearly stated in the original contract that "I-Believe" not only sold the rights to use the music to director Guo Jae-yong, but Bae Soo-hoon also owned certain copyrights to the music, and Bae's father also helped Bae Soo-hoon win the copyright when Shin Seung-hoon sang the song.

A hefty 'commission'...

Having said that, everyone who searches for Suzl on the Internet can say that they have found nothing. Suzl’s online information files are almost no different from blank...

Real name: Unknown; English name: Suzl; Gender: Male; Birthday: Unknown; Work: "I-Believe"...

The information couldn't be simpler, even the basic age, height, and appearance are not included, and the information on the Internet was dug out by reporters from director Guo Jae-yong.

Some netizens even secretly scolded reporters for being useless and unable to get even the most basic information out. But how did these people know that director Guo Zaiyong also had difficulties? If it hadn't been for this restriction in the contract, Guo Zaiyong would have wanted to reveal all the information about Bae Soo-hoon.

Come out, who wants to be chased by reporters asking these questions every day...

Suddenly, Suzl became a mysterious name. In everyone's mind, doesn't a composer just create good music and let everyone know it? Then after he becomes famous, people will come to ask for music?

But Suzl has become an exception in the composing world. Of course, there are some jealous people who think that Suzl is hyping up his fame. If Bae Xiuxun knew what some people think, they would probably roll their eyes...

In any case, although there is only one song "I-Believe" in Suzl's works, no one will underestimate Suzl, this mysterious composer...

Again, this is just the beginning...
