Millennium director

Seoul, Jongno-gu, Sangil-ro, BBQ fried chicken restaurant. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ

This fried chicken restaurant, which occupies a small area but has a very European-style ornate interior, has been booked by the crew of "Goblin".

This is the fried chicken restaurant run by the second female lead, Sunny, where the heroine in Ghost works part-time.

Li Dongxu, who was wearing a black suit and black coat, was having a tense scene with Yang Mi, who was wearing a rose red hip-hugging skirt and had her hair permed.

It's normal to be nervous.

Wu Yuan, who had nothing to do in the afternoon, was chatting quietly with Song Yang behind the monitor.

It would be strange for them not to be nervous about acting under the watchful eye of this international director.

But they thought too much. In fact, Wu Yuan didn't come to see them act.

"Director Song, don't schedule the filming for me tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Just shoot the side lines."

"I have something to take care of here."

Wu Yuan came to discuss the shooting schedule with Song Yang.

If another leading actor had said this, Song Yang would definitely bite him in the face.

Unfortunately, it was Wu Yuan who came to ask for the schedule. Song Yang did not dare or had the courage to refuse, so he could only nod his head: "I understand. Let's continue filming the Messenger of the Underworld tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will arrange it."

Wu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted Song Yang on the shoulder to encourage him, then stood up and left the scene.

He has no interest in staying here to watch Yang Mi and Li Dongxu filming.

If there is anything good about acting, he has been watching it for decades.

Patting his butt, Wu Yuan got in the car and headed to the music distribution and management department of CJ Group.

The chaebols in South Korea are basically monopolistic.

For example, CJ Group is the largest food company in South Korea. It made its fortune by making food. However, after reaching the current scale of the consortium, it has long since become more than just food.

It not only has the food and catering business group, but also the biological and pharmaceutical business group, the new distribution business group, and the entertainment and media business group.

In 1995, CJ, director Spielberg and others jointly established Dream Works, thus starting his film and television career.

While CJ is distributing movies produced by Dream Works in South Korea and Southeast Asia, it is actively involved in the production of Korean movies, and has also extended its reach into the fields of television and music, aiming to create an omni-channel entertainment business group.

Now that he has cooperated with CJ, Wu Yuan certainly doesn't bother the two masters.

The reason why I went to CJ's music publishing department this time was to solve some problems in the OST production of "Goblin".

The drama "Goblin" is one of the rare TV dramas where the OST and the main film complement each other.

When this drama was very popular, it contributed many famous scenes combined with the OST.

For example, when the ghost and the messenger from the underworld rescue the heroine, and the two of them walk backlit on the avenue like a model walker, with the right background music, that scene has become a famous scene in the hearts of all viewers, and it will be unforgettable even years later. , becoming one of the classic scenes of Korean dramas.

Here, pictures and sound effects are both indispensable.

Without the right background music, the scene would be missing a lot of its essence and would not be so memorable.

There are many shots like this where the background music perfectly matches the picture.

It can be said that the OST of "Goblin" became so popular that a lot of effort was put into it.

If you want to perfectly replicate Wu Yuan's dream of "Goblin" becoming a hit in Asia, restoring the OST of this TV series is also a top priority.

It's a pity that Wu Yuan really doesn't know Korean, not even a little bit.

Although everything he experienced in the dream seemed to be engraved in his mind, it was extremely clear, and it had not been forgotten at all after so many years.

But it is really difficult for him to memorize and sing all the Korean lyrics perfectly.

The only thing he can do is to restore the accompaniment of the music, and he still has a little confidence in this aspect.

After writing the theme song of "Your Name" and composing two songs for Liu Yifei, Wu Yuan can be said to have quite a lot of experience in music.

Some time ago, he took some time to restore the OST score of "Goblin" in bits and pieces in his memory.

But it still lacks the most important complete arrangement and perfect lyrics.

Lyrics are actually not that important. The idol era in Korea has been around for almost ten years. Every major music company has a large number of professional lyricists who can fill out any online lyrics that pass the test.

After all, except for China, the music of most countries in the world does not pay much attention to lyrics, but focuses on arrangement, and lyrics are very straightforward.

No way, not every language is as beautiful as Chinese.

Most foreign language songs sound good to Chinese people, mainly because the music is good. If you really look at the translation of the lyrics, those lyrics that are all in vernacular are really eye-catching.

When "Goblin" became popular in Asia, not many viewers except South Korea could understand the lyrics of the OST. It was just that the music melody matched the picture very well, which created the effect of 1+1 being greater than 2.

If you can restore most of the song arrangements of the OST, you can basically restore the essence.

With five or six scores prepared in advance, Wu Yuan came to CJ's music production department, planning to brainstorm with their arranger for a few days to perfect these rough scores that only had melody, and also asked CJ's lyricist Write a few more lyrics.

He doesn't care about the copyright issues of these songs, and he has no problem sharing half of them with CJ's music department.

How much money can you make by writing songs?

Even Jay Chou, a superstar of the era who changed the Chinese music scene, only earns eight figures a year, which is less than a fraction of the box office of one of his movies.

"Mimi!"

"Today is your first scene!"

On the set, while Wu Yuan was busy going to CJ to complete the OST production, Liu Yifei also belatedly arrived at the set.

She smiled and hugged Yang Mi, who had just finished filming a scene. She seemed to be very familiar with her and held her hand enthusiastically and said, "How is it? It's hard to work with Korean actors, isn't it?"

"When you two were filming, you spoke Chinese and he spoke Korean. I was worried about you. It's really difficult to shoot like this. Not only do you have to memorize your own words, but you also have to memorize his words, otherwise you don't even know them. How to react correctly.”

Liu Yifei's character is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. She seems to be able to chat with everyone and can say a few words, but in fact she maintains a deep sense of distance from most actors in the industry.

Most of her best friends are not from the circle, and there are only a few true friends such as Su Chang in the circle.

It's just that now she is becoming more and more like a boss lady. After learning that Yang Mi has signed with Light and Shadow Era, she consciously wants to take care of the artists under this company, for fear that she will encounter any difficulties while filming in Korea.

Liu Yifei's enthusiasm made Yang Mi feel uncomfortable with her being very cold when she was filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

When she was filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", when Liu Yifei didn't have a role, she always held a few books and sat in the corner of the set to read quietly. She rarely communicated with other people on the set, and she was accompanied by Liu Xiaoli, who was protecting her cubs. , Yang Mi really hasn’t been in contact with her a few times.

"Oh, haha." Yang Mi smiled a little uncomfortable, shook her head and said: "Brother Dongxu is very good, and he will help me study how to play sunny well. Although we don't understand the language, he helped me a lot. "

"Brother Dongxu?" Liu Yifei repeated the title with a strange expression, and whispered in Yang Mi's ear.

Yang Mi's face turned red instantly, "No! Really not!"

"It's just colleagues, help from colleagues!"
