Chapter 526 South Korean Girl Group
The Oscar awards ceremony will be held on February 2th. Gu Wei plans to stay in South Korea for two or three days to shoot two scenes as agreed and let the media here report on it, which can be regarded as fulfilling the agreement.
In the crew of "New World", perhaps due to Gu Wei's arrival, everyone wanted to perform well, and the shooting of two consecutive shots was unusually smooth.
"Cut!" After the scene was finished, Gu Wei felt a little embarrassed.
You said you didn't do it twice and asked me, a great director, to give you some advice. This is very embarrassing.
So, with many South Korean actors nodding and bowing as they saw him off, Gu Wei got on a business car and headed for the hotel.
As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I met Xu Caixian, the person in charge of CJ Company and also one of the presidents of CJ Company.
This person is the person in charge of the mainland branch of the series of companies. When he learned that Gu Wei had come to South Korea, he was specifically called back to China by the president of the series of companies to be responsible for receiving Gu Wei and his party.
"Mr. Gu, you have worked hard."
"It's not hard. The fans in Seoul are very enthusiastic. Thank you for the arrangement."
Gu Wei shook hands with the young Korean woman who was in her thirties. Although the plastic surgery industry in Korea has completely boomed, Gu Wei did not find many "beauties" in Korea along the way.
After chatting with Xu Caixian for a while, Gu Wei, who went straight to the crew after getting off the plane, really felt a little tired. Seeing this, Xu Caixian also said a few words of concern and then took him directly to the hotel room to rest.
This hotel is next to the Han River. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the night view of the Han River.
Frankly speaking, the scenery is quite nice, but Gu Wei has been wondering how the blue pill exceeded the standard in such a large river like Han River?
Are the people of Seoul so weak...
After staying in the hotel for one night, the head of CJ Entertainment mentioned Han Ji Hyo to Gu Wei and asked if Gu Wei was interested.
"Uh." Sure enough, the entertainment industry is like this everywhere. Once you have been in contact with it, you will find that the so-called celebrity artists and national goddesses are nothing more than objects for trading and flattery.
Gu Wei rejected the other party's proposal, using the excuse that he was too tired...
The next morning, Gu Wei, led by Xu Caixian, came to visit CJ Entertainment Company.
As soon as we arrived at the destination, we saw a group of young Korean artists standing up and bowing respectfully.
"Senior Gu Wei."
Good man, Gu Wei almost thought he had come to an island country, so meticulous...
However, he soon realized that this was the Korean culture of seniority, which is the so-called hierarchy based on seniority, age and status. The younger generation must respect the older generation, and the older generation can scold, reprimand and order the younger generation around, but the younger generation cannot resist.
This culture of hierarchy is essentially influenced by Confucian culture.
Frankly speaking, this culture has its merits, but it has become a bit pathological in Korea.
There is nothing wrong with respecting the elderly and loving the young, but we cannot always emphasize the so-called seniority. Some elders are worthy of respect, while some should even be despised.
Over-emphasizing seniority can easily create barriers to advancement and bullying. Gu Wei has reason to suspect that this is a deliberate means of controlling subordinates.
But this has nothing to do with Gu Wei. He is not in the Korean entertainment industry, so this model does not apply to him.
At the same time, Gu Wei was also glad that he was in the Chinese entertainment industry. If he was in the Korean entertainment industry, given his background, he probably wouldn't have been able to make it on his own, and even if he did, his temper wouldn't allow him to stand someone bossing him around every day.
"Hello everyone!"
Gu Wei greeted these Korean artists and then asked a few more questions. The artists replied respectfully that they had things to do. After a brief chat, Gu Wei left.
Before leaving, she also gave me a small gift, such as a crystal or silver bracelet or a small medal, with many Star Film and Television company logos on it.
The price is not expensive, but it is exquisite and commemorative, and it is also a token of my thoughtfulness.
Every time Gu Wei goes out for an event or promotes a movie, he will specially prepare some of these bracelets as well as his autographed albums and autographed photos, and give them away when the opportunity arises.
As soon as the protagonist left, the Korean artists finally became more active: "Senior Gu is really gentle and speaks very sincerely."
"Wow, this gift is beautiful. Oppa is so thoughtful."
"Senior Gu Wei is so handsome. I'm in love with him."
"I heard that Oppa will be joining a film crew later. I want to apply to follow him so that I can always see him. Maybe I will have a chance to be noticed by him and have a chance to play a role in a movie." "I want to apply too."
"You guys can just dream on. If our company hadn't cooperated with Senior Gu, and if our company didn't have many artists, you trainees wouldn't have had a chance to be invited.
You know, many artists who have already debuted are eyeing the opportunity to meet with Gu Senior. I heard that SM, YG and other companies are in contact with the president. He is the number one director in Asia. If you get a few pointers from him, it will be considered as seniority. "
Someone knowledgeable among the group spoke up and shattered the fantasies of several people.
Foreign monks are good at chanting sutras, and this is not only common in China, but also in South Korea.
Yesterday, the news of Gu Wei's visit to South Korea was widely reported by the South Korean media, and Gu Wei's achievements were also exaggerated and praised.
By doing this, the Korean media is essentially elevating themselves. After all, the visit of top Asian directors to Korea proves Korea's status.
At the same time, the Korean media's hype also expanded Gu Wei's popularity and influence in South Korea.
When titles like China's number one director, the creator of global box office records, and Hollywood's top superstar are mentioned, even Korean people who don't know Gu Wei will be confused and feel a sense of awe.
In the past two days, Gu Wei's visit to Korea has become a hot topic in Korea. Many entertainment companies have also heard the news and are planning to connect their artists and directors with this world-famous director.
This is not only a promotion for our artists, but most importantly, it is a great opportunity to enter the Chinese market.
China's economy may not be particularly developed, but its large population base makes China a huge blue ocean that is hard to refuse for Korean entertainment companies.
Maybe someone said that South Korea entered the country through the alliance, but as time went by, more and more South Koreans found that the cooperation with Huayi Company did not produce the expected good results.
For example, several particularly well-known companies in the mainland, including large companies such as Guangguang and Wanda, have been more or less influenced by Star Film and Television and have almost no cooperation with South Korean artists.
Several companies in the Korean alliance were already somewhat dissatisfied with relying solely on Huayi Company, so Gu Wei's arrival made everyone see a good opportunity.
"I'll tell you a secret. Senior Gu is not only a very famous director, but also an outstanding businessman. He owns a well-known film and television company in China, and his net worth is several times that of our president."
After the insider finished speaking, the small dressing room was suddenly filled with a smell called "ambition"...
I visited CJ Entertainment and had a Korean state banquet, the "Kimchi Banquet," with several senior executives.
Next, there are naturally other programs.
A powerful dance music, the passionate dance of those artists before the New Year, with surging waves and interlaced legs.
In one word, save your energy!
Gu Wei finally understood why so many people liked girl groups. A group of young and beautiful girls jumping and twisting their bodies on the stage were really too much for ordinary people to handle.
At this stage, Korean girl groups have begun to move towards a sexy style, and most of them are still following the youthful route. According to the current development trend, more and more girl groups have more clothes on their bodies that are not as wide as a pair of pants.
Gu Wei is a man of style, so he is very interested in the sexy girl group in front of him...
Well, it’s mainly for appreciation.
But to be honest, Korean dance music is really good at warming up the audience. After the two dance performances, the atmosphere was already very warm.
As a guest, Gu Wei naturally followed the local customs and had fun with everyone.
……
Spent three days in Seoul.
He left behind a few staff members and took only his assistant and bodyguards with him as he boarded a flight to Los Angeles.
After a ten-hour flight, everyone arriving in Los Angeles still needs to adjust to the time difference.
The Oscar Awards Ceremony was held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on the afternoon of February 2th, local time in the United States, which was the morning of February 24th, Imperial City time.
In the hotel, Gu Wei was just wanting to have a good rest.
Leonardo called.
