My Entertainment Circle

For lunch, Zhang Pingan, Li Zhien, and Han Te gathered at the Chinese restaurant "Yuyuan" of the Four Seasons Hotel. This is a restaurant that specializes in Cantonese cuisine and also operates Yanjing roast duck. It is also the only Chinese restaurant in Korea that is on the "Michelin" list. After tasting the "Eight Immortals" of the Shilla Hotel many times, Zhang Pingan finally found a restaurant that can compete with the Eight Immortals Restaurant.

At noon, the three of them ordered a roast duck set meal, accompanied by Cantonese dim sum, and Li Zhien was very happy to eat. Although Din Tai Fung also has a store in Seoul, it is located in the Myeongdong Pedestrian Street with the most tourists. And Li Zhien can't go to Myeongdong. Even if there are no Chinese tourists there, there are tourists from all over the world who go to Myeongdong for sightseeing. For Li Zhien, it's 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 fresh shrimp burst in her mouth. She smiled with satisfaction and nodded repeatedly, expressing her admiration for the delicious taste: "Hmm~~ Delicious, I regretted not having shrimp dumplings when I went to the Taiwan Strait at the beginning of the year. Today, my wish was fulfilled. Oppa, as a Chinese, how do you think they taste here?"

Zhang Pingan also praised the Cantonese dim sum made by the 'Yuyuan' restaurant and said: "Their dim sum is really good. Not bad, not bad, I will try a few more dishes next time. I will eat at his house recently."

It is really authentic Cantonese cuisine, one of the rare Chinese cuisines in Seoul.

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

Zhang Pingan smiled and responded, "Well, let's try other dishes tonight. We just ordered some dim sum now... Well, this black truffle siu mai is good, you try it. Hunter, you try it too."

The filling of this siu mai is mixed with some black truffles, and there is a freshly cut black truffle slice on the top of the siu mai. The fragrance of this siu mai is very special. It is completely different from the ordinary meat siu mai in the Cantonese dim sum that I have eaten on weekdays.

After Hunter took a bite of the siu mai, he blurted out, "Isn't this delicious? It smells so good."

Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Well, this restaurant is really worth recommending."

After Zhang Pingan said this, Hunter said to Zhang Pingan, "PD Zhang, I asked the assistant to go back to rest today."

Everyone understands what the so-called "rest" is. It sounds good to call it rest, but as for when she will have to wait to resume her job? That is an unknown number. In fact, it is not an 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. Hasn't she been to China with you? Hasn't she seen the development of China?"

Hant immediately smiled and said: "The development of China in recent years? That is seen by the whole world.

She really didn't follow us to visit China? She didn't see the prosperity there. It's possible that she was brainwashed by the Internet and made stupid?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about these? It's really boring. Let's talk about shooting, shall we? You can find some B\u0026Bs or restaurants here first. Because their layout is very suitable for shooting? I personally recommend B\u0026Bs? After all, B\u0026Bs with decorative styles also have some fashion and refreshing feeling that matches Korean houses. Check out a few more, especially when choosing B\u0026Bs, you must check them on the spot. Because the depth of the photos taken is different from the depth of the actual view. The room that looks very big in the photo? After we walked over, we found that we couldn't even set up the camera position."

Hant nodded and said: "Got it? We will go to the site for inspection after we select them. PD Zhang, when are you free to shoot? " Zhang Pingan smiled and replied, "I am free recently. After you contact the venue, take a day with good weather to shoot. In fact, I can finish these shoots that do not require too many scene changes in one day. " Han Te nodded and said, "Okay, then we will find a venue as soon as possible. Because we plan to release Ji Eun's pre-release song in mid-March. Isn't it? March is coming soon. " Zhang Pingan nodded and said, "Well, you can arrange it as soon as possible. When do you find a venue? I can do it. Oh, I have to go to Jeju Island in the next two days to sign a contract with Lee Hyori. At that time? I will look for a suitable one there. As for you, I suggest...it is best to find it in Jeonju, where there are the most Korean houses." Han Te nodded and said, "Okay? Tomorrow, the art director and I will go to Jeonju in person."

.......

Unconsciously, it was the beginning of March? The sun became more in this season? The temperature gradually became warmer. Taeyeon's first full-length album was officially released at the end of last month. The title song "Fine" written by Zhang Ping'an for Taeyeon instantly topped the Korean music download chart.

"Zhang Ping'an and Taeyeon's cooperation is still so amazing."

"Taeyeon's biggest contributor to SOLO has never had anything to do with S.M? Zhang Ping'an is Taeyeon's biggest supporter?"

"No wonder our Taeyeon will thank Zhang Ping'an when she gets the trophy!"

"Whether it's the beginning of "I", or the later "Rain", and now "Fine", Zhang Ping'an uses his best lyrical style to help Taeyeon develop her own 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.

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