My Entertainment Circle

For lunch, Zhang Pingan, Li Zhien, and Hunter gathered to dine at the Chinese restaurant ‘Yu Garden’ in the Four Seasons Hotel. This is a restaurant that specializes in Cantonese cuisine and also operates Yanjing roast duck. It is the only Chinese restaurant in South Korea to be listed on the Michelin list. After tasting the ‘Eight Immortals’ of the Shilla Hotel many times, Zhang Ping’an finally found a restaurant that was comparable to the Eight Immortals Restaurant.

At noon, the three of them ordered the roast duck set meal, which was paired with Cantonese dim sum. Li Zhien ate with great joy. Although Din Tai Fung also has a store in Seoul, it is located in Myeongdong Pedestrian Street, which is the most visited area. And it is impossible for Li Zhien to go to Myeongdong. Even if there are no Chinese tourists there, there are tourists from all over the world going to Myeongdong for sightseeing. For Li Zhien, it is best not to go to crowded places.

Li Zhien picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it into her mouth with a happy smile. The whole shrimp exploded in her mouth. She smiled with satisfaction and nodded her head one after another and uttered exclamations about the delicious food: "Hmm~~It's delicious." When I went to Taiwan at the beginning of the year, I regretted not being late for shrimp dumplings. Today, I fulfilled my wish. As a Chinese, what do you think of their taste here?”

Zhang Ping'an also praised the Cantonese dim sum made at Yuyuan Restaurant and said: "The dim sum they serve is really very good. Not bad, not bad. I will try more dishes next time. I want to order them all these days." Had dinner at his house.”

It is really authentic Cantonese food and one of the rare Chinese food in Seoul.

Li Zhien smiled and said, "Are you still eating here tonight?"

Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile: "Well, let's try other dishes tonight. We just ordered some dim sum for now... Well, the roasted black truffle seedlings are good, you try it. Hunter, you also try it." "

There are some black truffles mixed in the inside of this siomai, and there is a freshly cut black truffle slice on top of the siomai. The aroma of this siomai is very special. The ordinary meat siomai in dim sum has a completely different taste.

After Hunter took a bite of the shaomai, he said, "Isn't this delicious? It tastes so fragrant."

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "Well, this restaurant is really worth recommending."

After Zhang Pingan said these words, Hunter said to Zhang Pingan: "PD Zhang, I asked the assistant to go back and rest today."

Everyone knows what the so-called 'rest' is. It sounds like a rest. As for when she will be able to resume work, it is unknown. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that she can find other jobs.

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "What era is it now? There are still people with such strange ideas. Didn't she go to China with you? Hasn't she seen the development of China?"

Hunter immediately said with a smile: "The development of China in recent years has been watched by the whole world. It is true that she has not visited China with us and has not seen the prosperity there. It is also possible that she was Have you been fooled by Internet brainwashing?”

"Forget it, it's really boring if we don't talk about this. Let's talk about shooting, shall we? You guys first find some B\u0026Bs or restaurants. Because their layout is very suitable for shooting, I personally recommend B\u0026Bs, after all, the decoration The style of B\u0026Bs also has a sense of fashion and freshness that matches the Korean house. Check out a few more B\u0026Bs. Especially when choosing B\u0026Bs, you must make on-the-spot inspections because the photos give a sense of depth and you can actually see them. The depth is different. The room looked very big in the photo, but after we walked over, we found that we couldn’t even place the camera.”

Hunter nodded and said: "I know, we will go on-site inspection after selecting them. PD Zhang, when will you be free to shoot?"

Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile: "I'm free recently. After you contact the venue, take a day with good weather to shoot.

In fact, I can do these shots that don’t require too many scene changes in one day. "

Hunter nodded and said: "Okay, let's find a venue as soon as possible. Because we plan to release Zhien's prelude in mid-March. No, it will be March soon."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Well, you make arrangements as soon as possible. Whenever you find a venue, I can do it. Oh, I am going to Jeju Island in the next two days to sign a contract with senior Lee Hyori. Then, I will go there Look for something suitable. As for you, it’s best to look for it in Jeonju, where there are the most Korean houses.”

Hunter nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow Mei Mei and I will go to Quanzhou in person."

.......

Before we knew it, it was early March, the sun became more abundant during this season, and the temperature gradually became warmer. Taeyeon's regular album was officially released at the end of last month. The title song "Fine" composed for Taeyeon by Zhang Pingan instantly topped the music download list in South Korea.

"The collaboration between Zhang Pingan and Taeyeon is still so great."

"The biggest contributor to Taeyeon's solo has always had nothing to do with S.M? Is Zhang Ping'an the biggest supporter of Taeyeon?"

"No wonder, Taeyeon and Oni want to thank Zhang Pingan when we get the trophy!"

"Whether it was "I" at the beginning, "Rain" later, or now "Fine", Zhang Pingan used his best lyrical method to help Taeyeon develop her solo way."

"If you say there is no emotional entanglement between Zhang Pingan and Taeyeon, I won't believe it to death. Dear netizens, have you discovered the Easter egg in the 'MV'? The Polaroid photo that appeared in the MV is 2 minutes and 17 seconds, 2 Minutes and 31 seconds. The man in the polaroid photo is not the male lead in the MV, but Zhang Pingan!" (PS: This is purely fabricated, this scene in the 'MV' is the male lead.)

"Wow, it's really Zhang Pingan. In the blink of an eye, you actually captured that the man in the photo is Zhang Pingan? Are you looking at it frame by frame?"

"Hahaha! Have you started making Easter eggs in Taeyeon's 'MV'? The first time it was Taeyeon's brother who appeared on the scene, and this time it's Zhang Ping'an?"

"What's there to discuss? Fans already know what happened between Zhang Pingan and Taeyeon, so why expose it?"

"Aren't you stupid upstairs? What's going on between Taeyeon and Zhang Ping'an? Some time ago, he frequently showed up at 'LOEN' and received some inside information. Lee Ji-en's 'MV' this time was shot by Zhang Ping'an. "

"Are you sure this is the so-called inside story? Li Zhien posted photos of Zhang Pingan on the set on 'INS'."

.......

In early March, he originally planned to go to Tokyo, but he was delayed for two days on Jeju Island. Mainly discussing the details of the filming with Lee Hyori and his wife. It's not so much about the details, but rather discussing the maximum scope they are allowed to shoot.

Because the show has to run a B\u0026B, to what extent do they need to do it? So Zhang Pingan took Lee Hyori and his wife to experience for themselves what a real Jeju Island B\u0026B is like.

After he returned to Seoul, he originally planned to shoot Li Zhien's MV, but it rained for several days in succession. The continuous spring rain made Zhang Ping'an temporarily stop going to Tokyo. Because he didn't finish filming Li Zhien, he couldn't go anywhere.

It wasn't until the sun shone brightly in March that Zhang Ping'an drove his Ferrari GT on a long-distance trip for the first time after the sun finally appeared. See if it meets the long-distance travel represented by 'GT'?

It takes nearly two hours to drive on the highway from Seoul to Sokcho on the east coast. Overall, the comfort of this Ferrari is really good. But the highways in Asia are not like those in Germany. Even if it can run very fast, it still cannot speed on the highway. Cruising at the standard speed, this car is definitely the most suitable for long-distance travel among Ferraris.

Of course, it's unfair if you want to compare it with a sedan. Because it is defined as a GT-type sports car, it has an extra level of comfort compared to a pure sports car, but this comfort cannot reach the level of a top-class sedan.

Arriving at the Hanok B\u0026B where the filming was held, Zhang Pingan and the on-site lighting engineers began to cooperate. Because Li Zhien's "Night Letter" this time is originally a very soft song, and Li Zhien's singing also has a somewhat light feeling. Just like a whisper in the ear, it makes people feel that she is telling a romantic love story.

So Zhang Pingan took the main part of the shooting in the evening after the sun sets. During the day, Zhang Pingan mainly captured some soft and natural scenes of Li Zhien. There was no need for deliberate interpretation, just her sitting there quietly. Zhang Ping'an's shooting is also very artistic, because he did not necessarily shoot the front of Li Zhien, maybe a smiling face from the side, or even a back view, or even a distant view of Li Zhien...

Of course, Zhang Ping'an is already good at natural photography, and he also has reference objects that he has "seen before". So it’s really easy to shoot and it’s very handy. In addition to Li Zhien, there are also bricks and tiles here, or flowers and plants, and even the gentle movements of water droplets dripping into the waterscape tank are recorded.

Although the unedited pictures look messy, Li Zhien and her team can feel the sense of tranquility that Zhang Ping'an wants to express with every picture played.

Lee Ji-eun went from wearing a red dress with long hair in the morning to wearing transparent makeup and comfortable home clothes in the evening. A short-sleeved shirt and a knitted sweater. Li Zhien sat on the floor, leaning on the sideboard and started singing "Night Letter" on the old-fashioned tape recorder.

The soft light in the room combined with Li Zhien's soft singing really made everyone present feel the softness of this song.

After recording three times, the sky outside became dark, and fireflies, which are very rare to see in the city, appeared to add color to Li Zhien's MV. Zhang Pingan specially asked the staff to catch one and put it in the room to match Li Zhien's performance.

After the song ended, Lee Chi-eun was once again caught by the stylist and put on red makeup. The final scene of the shooting was in red... The filming of Lee Chi-eun's "MV" had already lasted for sixteen hours! !
