Chapter 481 Sharp Questions at the Press Conference
Even though Lin Xiangyu has not produced many works and has not appeared in Peninsula this year, his popularity is still very high.
He has been on Peninsula News for a long time.
Whether it was directing at the beginning of the year, the Sewol ferry incident, buying FX from SM in the middle of the year, buying TVN TV station from CJ Entertainment, etc.
These things have made Lin Xiangyu's presence felt on the peninsula.
Maybe I've been a little more low-key in the past two months.
I only released one song.
But after the song was released, it was also very popular.
After Lin Xiangyu got the microphone, he waved to the audience with a smile on his face.
"Long time no see, everyone." Lin Xiangyu said with a smile.
Listening to the cheers from the audience, Lin Xiangyu suddenly felt like a star again.
To be honest, Lin Xiangyu has been at home with his family in recent times.
It made him almost forget his identity as an actor.
He is not that well-known in America and he doesn't even wear a mask when he goes out.
"This year, I have fewer opportunities to meet with you all. I will meet with you more often next year."
Before talking about business, Lin Xiangyu said specifically.
He will make at least one movie next year, and Lin Xiangyu is also considering whether to shoot a TV series later.
Worked with Han Hyo Joo on a TV series.
It just so happened that Han Hyo Joo hadn't appeared in a TV series for several years, and she also had the idea of acting in a TV series.
Then the two of them can work together again.
As soon as Lin Xiangyu finished speaking, the cheers at the scene became louder.
Afterwards, the host began to ask Lin Xiangyu questions according to the questions written in the script.
"I heard that Xiangyu is also the director of the TV series "Magic Phone". As a new director, did Xiangyu encounter any troubles during the filming process?"
One of the selling points of "Magic Phone" this time is that it is directed by Lim Sang-woo.
Many people are looking forward to what kind of works Lin Xiangyu will shoot as a director.
"Yes, to be honest, everyone helped me a lot during the filming process. Deputy Director xx, Deputy Director xx, Brother Kong Liu and even many seniors in the crew helped me a lot. This time, as a new director shooting this TV series, I really learned a lot." Lin Xiangyu answered very modestly.
Actually, this is not modesty, it is the truth.
"But don't worry, with the help of Gong Yoo and the others, this drama will still be very good."
"I heard that the lighting effects for our Magic Phone took several months to produce?" the host continued to ask.
Lin Xiangyu nodded.
"Yes, this time we spent more than 3 billion won on special effects alone, and it took us more than four months to complete the special effects required for the plot of the drama. This is something everyone can look forward to."
The money spent on special effects in "Magic Phone" is the first time that so much money has been spent on special effects on the peninsula.
The special effects of the Chinese version of "Magic Phone" are actually very good.
But with the progress of the times, the special effects are now better than before.
"Wow, more than 3 billion won. The cost of the special effects shows how much importance is placed on this drama," the host exclaimed.
"Yes, our entire crew is working hard to present a good TV series to everyone."
Host: "I heard that after Sang Woo showed the script to Gong Yoo, Gong Yoo immediately agreed to it. Is this true?"
"It's true. To be honest, I didn't expect that Gong Yoo would agree so readily. I actually thought of a lot of words to persuade Gong Yoo, after all, Gong Yoo is really suitable for this role. But all the thoughts in advance were of no use. Gong Yoo spent a long time reading the script and directly agreed to this matter." Lin Xiangyu turned his head to look at Gong Yoo beside him.
"Gong Liu agreed to it right away, and I am very grateful to him."
The topic thus shifted to Gong Yoo.
"What was Gong Yoo thinking at the time? Was he worried about Sang Woo's filming skills?"
The host also asked about the aspects that people on the Internet were most curious about.
There is actually some heated discussion online about the fact that Gong Yoo plays the second male lead to Lim Sang Woo.
Gong Yoo is much older than Lim Sang Woo in both age and debut time.
There is no doubt that Gong Yoo is very popular on the peninsula.
Gong Yoo was popular even before Han Hyo Joo became popular.
Gong Yoo became famous too early.
People actually find it hard to understand why he would play the second male lead to Lim Sang-woo this time.
"It would be a lie to say that I'm not worried, but it was precisely because of that worry that I agreed so readily. I thought that maybe I could provide some help to Sang Woo on the crew." Gong Yoo joked.
"It seems that Gong Yoo and Sang Woo have a really good relationship." said the host.
Gong Liu smiled and nodded.
"There is a rumor online saying that you agreed to play the role of You Suo Wei because you were embarrassed to reject Lim Sang Woo. What do you want to say about this rumor, Gong Yoo?"
The host continued to ask.
"I've also seen such remarks, saying that I played a supporting role to Sang Woo. To be honest, for professional actors like us, it's really nothing." Gong Yoo's answer was also very straightforward.
"As an actor, what we need to do most is to play each role well. In the drama "Magic Phone", You Zuowei is the most suitable role for me, and Lu Xiaoqian is the most suitable role for Xiangyu. Moreover, I don't think my role is just a supporting role. I am very satisfied with my role, and I think my role is also very outstanding."
After Gong Yoo finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.
There are not many actors who have this kind of awareness nowadays.
Of course, what Gong Yoo said is actually a little exaggerated.
That is Lim Sang-woo. If it were anyone else, Gong Yoo would never play the second male lead in a TV series.
The reason why Gong Yoo let Lim Sang-woo play the second male lead was, on the one hand, that this role really suits him, and on the other hand, it was also to give face to Lim Sang-woo. In attracting investment for "The Crucible", Lim Sang-woo helped him a lot, and he also helped him find Han Hyo-joo to star in "The Crucible", and he himself also made an unconditional cameo appearance in the movie "The Crucible".
Kong Yoo has always kept this in mind.
Playing a supporting role for Lin Xiangyu this time can be regarded as a way to repay Lin Xiangyu for his previous help.
I asked Gong Yoo a few simple questions, and then it was Yoona's turn.
Although Krystal is the leading female character in the drama, as her senior, Yoona, Krystal took the initiative to give the opportunity to be interviewed to Yoona.
These are all TV dramas produced by her own company, so Krystal Jung can change them however she wants.
Lim Sang-woo and Lim Yoona will not have any objection to this.
After Yoona, Krystal Jung's long-unseen appearance also caused cheers from the audience.
After asking Krystal a few simple questions, the host also asked a question that everyone was curious about.
“Do Krystal and Sangwoo have a kissing scene in the drama?”
After hearing the host's question, a blush crept up Krystal's face.
Krystal Jung's reaction also made the fans in the audience scream.
Lim Sang-woo treats Krystal Jung as his younger sister.
Everyone is aware of this matter.
But this does not stop everyone from looking forward to the kissing scene between Lim Sang-woo and Krystal Jung.
"As for this, I can't reveal too much. I think everyone should just wait for the TV series to be aired. If I tell you now, you might not have any expectations anymore." Krystal Jung's words were also rather ambiguous.
These kinds of questions were reviewed in advance on the stage, and Krystal Jung had also thought about how to answer them in advance.
There is no kissing scene between the two in the drama.
Even though everyone thinks there should be a kiss scene.
But Lin Xiangyu has always been unwilling to add kissing scenes on the grounds that there are no kissing scenes in the Chinese version.
No one in the crew can force Lin Xiangyu to do anything he doesn't want to do.
But if everyone was told directly that there was no kissing scene between the two, people might not be so excited about the show.
So Krystal could only give this ambiguous answer.
The selling point of this drama is not the love story between Lu Xiaoqian and Shanu.
With Krystal Jung's answer, most viewers would think that there is a kissing scene and would definitely be looking forward to it.
The cheers from the audience also prove that everyone is really looking forward to their kissing scene.
Afterwards, the host asked the remaining actors one by one.
Then it's time to select media to answer questions.
The first female reporter stood up and asked Lin Xiangyu, "Why did Xiangyuxi want to shoot such a TV series?"
Lin Xiangyu took the microphone handed over by the host and answered: "This is actually because last year when Xiujing and I were filming a TV series in Huaxia, we accidentally saw this TV series on TV. I think the idea of this TV series is very good and novel, and some of the plots in it are also very educational. There is no similar TV series in Peninsula, and at that time I was thinking about remaking this TV series."
A reporter can only ask one question.
After asking this, he sat down.
The second is a male reporter.
"I'm very curious, is Xiang Yuxi satisfied with being the director this time? Do you have any plans to continue being a director in the future?"
Lin Xiangyu: "To be honest, I was very confident before filming began, but after filming, I did realize my shortcomings and learned from my predecessors. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will choose to continue to be a director."
The third reporter was a female reporter, but the questions she asked had nothing to do with this TV series.
"It has been rumored online that SM renewed the contract with Girls' Generation's Jessicaxi and Yoonaxi so late because Sangwooxi wanted to poach Girls' Generation to NEW Company. Is this true?"
This question is a little bit more acute.
Lim Sang-woo replied: "NEW Company never thought of poaching Girls' Generation from the beginning to the end. From the beginning, the company was thinking of FX."
The fourth reporter was still a female reporter.
"Xiang Yuxi said that he had no intention of poaching Girls' Generation, but Jessicaxi and Yoonaxi only renewed their group contracts with SM, and the other contracts were signed under the name of NEW Company. This doesn't make sense, right?"
Lin Xiangyu smiled and replied, "This doesn't make sense, does it? SM only has so many resources. Jessica Jung needs a solo, but her solo will not be given priority by SM. Lin Yuner needs to act, and SM also doesn't have many scripts for her to choose from. NEW doesn't have many artists at the moment, and we have resources, so this doesn't seem to be a problem, right?"
The fifth reporter was a female reporter.
"What was Xiang Yuxi thinking when he bought FX from SM?"
Lin Xiangyu: "It was just because I heard that SM was going to launch a new girl group Red Velvet. SM didn't care much about FX in the first place, and after launching a new girl group, they probably cared even less. In addition, NEW didn't have any other groups except EXID, a subsidiary, and they really needed another group, so we discussed it with SM and bought it directly at a suitable price."
In this passage from Lin Xiangyu, he directly criticized SM company for not paying attention to FX, and also mocked SM company by the way.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the price SM sold FX to NEW was actually a bit low.
Krystal Jung and Yoona Lim, who were standing by, also couldn't hold back when they heard what Lim Sang Woo said.
But they all tried hard not to laugh out loud.
The sixth reporter was still a female reporter.
"Excuse me, Xiangyuxi"
Not all questions at the press conference were about Lin Xiangyu.
Later, some reporters also asked questions to Krystal Jung, Yoona, Gong Yoo and others.
It’s just that most of the questions are asked to Lin Xiangyu.
After all, it has been a long time since Lin Xiangyu showed up in public, and everyone is very curious about him.
After the press conference, everyone went back to their own business.
Yoona and Krystal went straight home.
Lin Xiangyu was having dinner with several senior Chinese actors in the evening.
As the host, Lin Xiangyu also respects these senior actors very much.
All three of them are seniors with excellent acting skills.
The cooperation process was also very pleasant.
So in the evening, Lin Xiangyu specially accompanied the three of them to have dinner in Seoul and drank a lot of wine.
In fact, the three Chinese seniors did not expect Lin Xiangyu to be so polite and accompany them for dinner and drinks in the evening.
They also knew about Lin Xiangyu's situation.
They really didn't expect Lin Xiangyu to be so polite.
All I can say is that Lin Xiangyu really respects his predecessors.
When Lin Xiangyu returned home, Zheng Xiuyan smelled the alcohol on Lin Xiangyu and frowned.
"You're just eating, why are you drinking?"
Jessica Jung asked somewhat confused.
"We are all men, so we must drink some wine." Lin Xiangyu said with a smile.
Han Hyo Joo didn't say anything, turned and walked into the kitchen, preparing to make some sobering soup for Lin Xiangyu.
She doesn't care about this.
"You are in this state now, but you still want to drink with your seniors. You are really something."
"Those seniors are all very good seniors. If they were any bad seniors, I would definitely not accompany them for dinner." Lin Xiangyu didn't accompany them for dinner just because they were seniors.
The main reason was that they were not familiar with this place, and Lin Xiangyu, who was indeed a very good senior, accompanied them for dinner.
"I thought you didn't want to eat dinner at home anymore." Jessica Jung pouted.
