Chapter 8 3. The world they live in

It's an indisputable fact that Qiao Mei tends to have feelings for the male lead of the co-production.It's just this fact that everyone has nothing to criticize. To immerse oneself in a TV series or movie, it is often months or even years to be isolated from the world.Artists' social circles are actually very small, so it's impossible for them to fall in love with nine-to-five office workers.The time spent together is not synchronized, and there is no common topic. Thinking about it this way, having a relationship with an actor seems to sound more true love than being with a rich man.Falling in love with an actor also sounds more professional-you can't make a play, you are too involved, and you confuse yourself with the people in the play.

After the scandal with Rain, Song Hye Kyo has not been rumored for many years. After that, Song Hye Kyo had four years to move to the big screen.I filmed "My Girlfriend and Me" with Cha Tae-hyun, and also filmed "Hwang Jin-i", and received many endorsements.It's just that "Blue Life and Death" and the momentum of the original "Blue Life and Death" are no longer there.In the eyes of ordinary audiences, there is no big difference between filming TV series and filming, but for their professionals, interlacing is like a mountain.Song Hye Kyo's performance on the big screen is far less cordial and pleasant than the small screen.The two films had a lot of fanfare before their release, and all kinds of publicity and hype related articles were overwhelming, but after the release, the response was mediocre.The theme is old-fashioned, the script is mediocre, and the investment is bluffing.In the few years since Song Hye Kyo moved from the small screen to the big screen, the Korean film industry has also entered a period of stagnation.After a good situation in the past few years.The right time, place and people are harmonious, and Song Hye Kyo is unfavorable every year.

In the past four years, Song Hye Kyo has jumped ship and changed to a new company, hoping to help her career, but there is not much improvement.About her report, skip "Hwang Jin Yi", always like fried rice. So you watched her body getting thinner, her chin getting sharper, and her eyes getting firmer.It seems that when taking pictures, I hardly laugh too much. The Japanese used to say that she was a witch, and that she always hooked up with co-stars.But in the two movies, she kept to herself and acted as a good girl."My Girlfriend and Me" co-operating with Cha Tae-hyun reminds people of Jun Ji-hyun. The director of "Hwang Jin-i" said that she "has both Jeon Do-yeon's devotion that is integrated with the character and Shim Eunha's beauty that can hold the camera"—— How can anyone praise people like this?How can you praise an actress like this?

Indeed, in those few years, Song Hye Kyo was lost, feeling a little lost.She endorsed a clothing brand in South Korea, taking a sexy, glamorous and enchanting route, and you can't recognize her unless you look closely.In our Taobao store, thousands of pieces of the clothes she wore were sold.The one she endorsed has very few people interested in it. Everyone has a midlife crisis.The more successful, the greater the crisis.Men's midlife crisis occurs around the age of 40, and women are always confused in their third year. I can't find the status at work, and I seem to have lost the motivation to fall in love. I don't know the way forward, and I am in chaos all day long.These are the life states of Qiao Mei before she took over the filming of "The World They Live in".

Knowing this, it will be easier for you to understand that under those gossip and rumors, he and she, no matter what, really used a little sincerity. The relationship between Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin happened in the most natural state. The reason for saying this is that in the past, we said that artists are in the entertainment circle, they are involuntary, and they often have to be rumored and fell in love: fans instigate, agency arrangements, advertising companies hint and so on. But sister Qiao's love this time has no external force.Because Song Hye Kyo's scandal has no selling point!

I still remember that when Song Hye Kyo and Kim Min Jong were rumored to be having an affair, there was a test screening of Kim Min Jong's movie, and both Song Hye Kyo and Kim Min Jong's ex-girlfriend Lee Seung Yeon were present.But the media only focused on chasing and intercepting Song Hye Kyo. Celebrities have scandals.For those who are not popular, even if they beg reporters to post their wedding photos, they may not be able to earn much page space. After so many years, Song Hye Kyo's popularity has gradually weakened.She flirts with whomever she flirts with, holding hands, and there are not many people who care.What's more, the other party is Hyun Bin who also "became famous for three years". After starring in "I Love Kim Sam Soon" in 2005, it became very popular, and there are no more TV dramas.

Starring in "The World They Live In", Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin both lowered their social status. Director Pyo Min-soo said that the remuneration will be the same as the previous work, or it will be reduced by a certain amount based on the remuneration of the previous work. The last work - Hyun Bin's last work was two or three years ago, Song Hye Kyo's last work was even four or five years ago. In the last work, both of them were worth 20 million won per episode, which could be said to be the highest level of worth at the time.However, in 2008, when most celebrities were worth more than 50 million won per episode, the salary of the two was really very low.

Regarding the low remuneration, the director explained that it is to spend more money on improving the quality of TV dramas.The director also wants everyone to think that this is a very good drama, so that Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin are willing to lower their prices to appear in it. But if you think about it, what does it have to do with whether the salary is reduced or not, if the price is really reached, and the ratings and appeal are not reduced in the past? It's not that I haven't thought about replicating the successful model.For the passionate kissing scene, "The World They Live in" has only been aired for four episodes, and all the tricks have been used, but it is still difficult to recover the ratings that have fallen to the bottom.The promotional release even gave their passionate kissing scene the adjective "cute and heart-pounding", saying that it was a 2-minute sex scene that took 3 hours to shoot.Although the two were very embarrassed, they both completed their work very professionally, and their acting skills amazed the staff present!However, according to the survey results of the TNSmediakorea ratings survey company, the ratings of the fourth episode, which was heavily speculated, were only 6.5%, which was only 0.5% higher than that of the third episode.I think "Blue Life and Death" and ALLIN both had 45% ratings!

"The World They Live In" is a last-ditch work of two former kings.Because of intentions, I acted too hard, with too many traces, and of course the response was not very good.The ratings were sluggish, and the audience's reputation was not good.Qiaomei's dress has always been praised, but also criticized.In the play, Song Hye Kyo changed her image of an innocent girl in the past, and appeared on the scene with short hair and neutral dress, and completed a powerful transformation of a capable and seasoned professional woman. This is the first time Song Hye Kyo has challenged such a role since her debut many years ago.Song Hye Kyo once commented on her role: "The character I play gives people the feeling of a tomboy." Netizens commented that Qiao Mei finally showed her angular side.This is not a compliment, and the audience didn't buy it.The gentle and friendly image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not possible to make a breakthrough by making two movies.

Humans are animals that like to add to the cake.Everyone said yes, no matter how you look at her, she is good;So she went to discuss with him how to call a natural performance, how to act in line with the tastes of today's audience, and how to regroup. He knew her all too well, and he had the same problems as hers. Hyun Bin, who used to be a pretty boy on the Internet, made his debut in 2003, and began to emerge after acting in his first TV series "Bodyguard".After that, he collaborated with Kim Dong-wan, a member of the idol group Shinhwa, in the movie "Tornado Legs", and joined the star-making program of MBC TV station and became well-known. In 2004, although the ratings of the TV series "Ireland" he participated in were not good, the kind and gentle image of Jiang Guo in the play made him a popular star, and he won the MBC TV station's acting award - newcomer award that year. After "Ireland" was finished, he was silent for 8 months, during which he only made a cameo appearance in the movie.Until June 2005, with the popularity of his new work "My Name Is Kim Sam-soon", Hyun Bin jumped to the position of first-line male star, and his popularity was unmatched for a while, and because of this, he won the TV station's best acting award two years after his debut.

At the end of 2005, he co-produced the pure love movie "Millionaire's First Love" with rookie Lee Yeon-hee. Although he won the Popularity Award at the Baeksang Arts Awards for this, the result was not satisfactory.After that, Hyun Bin expressed that he did not want to take the role of the noble son again, and rejected the invitations of many works in 2006. It was not until the end of the year that he returned to people's attention as Tae Heong, the leading actor in "The Snow Queen". Under the pressure of the historical drama "Jumong", "The Snow Queen" did not achieve very good ratings, but it set off a wave of enthusiasm on the Internet, and even made Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen" on the bestseller list. At the 2006 KBS Acting Awards ceremony, he won nothing more than a few awards such as the Popularity Award and the Netizen Award. Since "Kim Sam Soon", Hyun Bin has been working hard, but he has never surpassed. Both Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo want to use "The World They Live In" to take it to the next level.They have a common language, so they will naturally get closer. The two often compete in acting.According to Pyo Min-soo, the director of "The World They Live in", Song Hye-kyo and Hyun Bin also actively made suggestions during filming, and some scenes were modified according to their suggestions.There is a scene where Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin hug each other and go up the stairs. Because the stairs on the shooting site are too narrow, it is very difficult for two people to walk up together. Under Hyun Bin’s suggestion, it was changed to Hyun Bin holding Song Hye Kyo. up the stairs. Such words have caused an uproar in the past, but now they can't even arouse repercussions. In the play, Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin play a pair of lovers. After a sweet love, breakup and confrontation, and finally the resurgence of the old love, the two people outside the play have been together day and night for nearly 10 months, and finally sparked the spark of love. No premeditation.If there is a premeditation, we have already been together.They didn't start until after the episode ended. After filming "The World They Live In", Hyun Bin devoted himself to the new drama "Friends, Our Legend", and has been filming in Busan for nearly half a year.Hye Kyo has been in touch with him, but the time together is very short.At the beginning of a relationship, less gathering and more separation can actually promote progress.When separated, the two places love each other, and when they get together, they cherish it extra.They often meet at a coffee shop near Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, surrounded by a group of friends.So this relationship lasted for more than two months without being noticed. It was not until two months later that a related person from the entertainment company revealed the inside story, saying: "The two have developed from friends to lovers." It was only then that the on-screen lovers went from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. Song Hye Kyo's agency statement said: "The two met for coffee and dinner, just like ordinary couples." Hyun Bin's agency said: "The two have collaborated in filming a work, and the relationship is naturally close. The relationship is more recent than ordinary colleagues and friends. It may be because they always talk about acting and entertainment circles together. Annoyance, getting closer and closer. In addition to discussing acting skills, the two also have a lot of resonance on other things." The brokerage companies of both parties said: "Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin are both popular idols. The man is unmarried and the woman is not married. It is completely normal relationship." The brokerage companies in South Korea and Taiwan also gave Ms. Qiao their best wishes. I tested the public opinion before and found that everyone is not on fire with this pair of rumored lovers.Unexpectedly, now that the filming of the film is over and the failure is over, holding hands has sparked heated discussions. Qiao Mei's agency is really interesting, and issued this statement: "Qiao Mei and Xuan Bin can be said to be talented and beautiful, and their appearance is quite right. Both of them were born in 1982. Qiao Mei, who is 164 centimeters tall, is snuggling at 184 centimeters. By the side of Hyun Bin who is 10 centimeters tall, he looks even more like a small bird." Which pot does not open and which pot to lift.They were so guilty that everyone could see what they were thinking—for fear that people would have doubts about the height difference between Mei Qiao and Xuan Bin when they were together.It doesn't matter if you don't say it, I specially brought up a group photo of Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo's life.Song Hye Kyo is definitely not 164 cm.The audience is not blind. After the relationship was made public, the parties also came out to speak. Song Hye Kyo said: "Hyun Bin is currently filming in Busan, and I haven't seen him for a long time. Only then did I realize that the slight melancholy I felt was love." In the authentic Qiao style tone. Hyun Bin said: "Although we can't see each other often, if we don't see Song Hye Kyo, we will miss him even more. The short reunion and long separation made us cherish each other even more." Their love, the world they live in, has been using "separation" as the key word from the very beginning. After Li Bingxian, although Song Hye Kyo had a lot of scandals, it is obvious that the one with Li Bingxian made her the most angry, so that when the reporter mentioned it, even the pleasant-looking sister Qiao would be black-faced.She even said that she "no longer loves pretty boys over flowers".She said: "When I was young, I liked men with good personality and good looks; but now my thoughts have changed a lot. Due to the increasing pressure, as long as he can let me rely on me when I am most tired, and listen to my story Just do it." It seems that Hyun Bin is Song Hye Kyo's soulmate.His handsomeness is an added bonus. Thinking about it, sister Qiao should be happy. When they were in love, even though they were separated, the two kept in touch.Hyun Bin occasionally returns to Seoul for a rest, and he does not forget to take Song Hye Kyo with him when he gathers with friends. After the party, they will go alone to the coffee shop where the hero and heroine in "The World They Live In" are dating to relive the good times. On the evening of July 28, Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin parked their car on the bank of the Han River to watch "Friends, Our Legend". This scene was captured by the media, and their relationship officially surfaced. In South Korea, agencies force artists to sign privacy-violating clauses, through which agencies can take full control over an artist’s life.Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin made their love affair public. Instead of "beating the mandarin ducks together", the brokerage companies of both parties generously admitted it, which also made them cherish this love affair very much.However, the brokerage company is worried that excessive media attention will bring them pressure, so they act very cautiously. The two of them are like two grown-up children. Their parents know that they understand the importance of knowledge, so there is only blessing and no control.This also makes the couple naturally have a sweet attribute.Advertisers come to your door and ask them to endorse cosmetics.In the ad, Song Hye Kyo, who appeared in a flowing white dress, and Hyun Bin, who was wearing a pink shirt, were leisurely choosing cosmetics in a large cosmetics store, which became a widely reprinted classic couple photo.Even some couples in China use this as a template for their wedding photos. How many "national couple" loves has Song Hye Kyo talked about? No wonder she said "sorry" when she made a statement. "I'm sorry", I have been hiding the affair before. "Sorry", I should have informed everyone earlier that we have broken up. "I'm sorry", I take my feelings as a private matter, in fact, the public has the right to know. Therefore, when the news of Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin's breakup became public, many people accused them of concealing it. Artists are public goods.For an artist, the greatest luxury is not an Hermès bag or a limited-edition car, but privacy.Want privacy, unless you quit showbiz, unless you don't want to be popular. Everyone has a heart that wants to be popular.Both Miss Qiao and Xuan Bin were really popular before, and they knew how great it felt to be watched by thousands of people.Therefore, they are willing to redouble their efforts to make themselves popular. They are all very hard-working and ambitious entertainers with busy schedules and almost no time to fall in love. In 2010, both experienced inhumanly busy schedules.Song Hye Kyo filmed Chinese director Wong Kar Wai's "The Grandmaster" over nine months, followed by "Today."And Hyun Bin filmed "Late Autumn" in the United States in early 2010, and after returning to China, he filmed "Love, Not Love" and TV series.For a whole year, the two couldn't meet each other properly. In the beginning, when Hyun Bin returned to Seoul on vacation, the two were still photographed dating in the downtown area.Before long, something was wrong.Song Hye Kyo went to Taiwan to promote her and Hyun Bin's work "The World They Live in".Hyun Bin was not mentioned at all.And when Hyun Bin won four awards in the "2010 SBS Acting Awards" with the TV series "Secret Garden", he also didn't mention Song Hye Kyo when he delivered his speech on the podium.Song Hye Kyo was interviewed when she took over the filming of Wong Kar Wai's "The Grandmaster". She said that she would enter the Chinese film market and would concentrate on work in the next few years, never thinking about getting married. All kinds of baseless rumors spread throughout the city.It was even said that Tang Wei intervened as a third party.Those who spread the rumors don't know that when the fake is true, it is also true.Although Tang Wei is not a third party, the problem between Song Hye Kyo and Xuan Bin has already arisen. Hyun Bin will enlist in the military as a navy, which has caused a wide range of social topics.But Song Hye Kyo did not respond.This relationship was already recognized.When we were together back then, even the brokerage company came out to talk, but at this time there was no response.The work schedule of the two is so tight, why should they take this opportunity to make a statement and promote the new drama and film! Afterwards, Hyun Bin was invited to participate in the 61st Berlin International Film Festival due to the films "Love, Not Love" and "Late Autumn". Song Hye Kyo still did not express any congratulations. Sensitive people have already begun to suspect that there is something wrong with the two of them. On March 7, 2011, Hyun Bin enlisted in the army.When going through the enlistment procedures at the Marine Corps base in Pohang, South Korea, nearly 10,000 fans saw him off.Hyun Bin will be enlisted in the army for two years, and he will leave the entertainment industry for a while. With a crew cut, he looks fatter than before, but he is still handsome.Everyone thought that Song Hye Kyo would send Hyun Bin into the army, but Song Hye Kyo just continued filming the movie "Today" and didn't say anything about Hyun Bin. The next day, Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo's agency announced that they had broken up at the beginning of the year.This became the headlines of the major entertainment editions of the day. Headlines—someone commented that Hyun Bin is responsible for making the headlines. Do you know how popular Hyun Bin was before enlisting in the army? The following paragraph is the report of Hyun Bin's military enlistment: As early as the 6th, tens of thousands of fans gathered in Pohang, and the city of Pohang was very lively.At the intersection leading to the army, there was a banner that read "Hyun Bin fans keep going, enlisted members and family members turn left".Huge portraits of Hyun Bin and banners reading "Warmly welcome Hyun Bin to join the Marine Corps" are hung everywhere in the local area.Local residents said: “Because fans and reporters swarmed, the nearby hotels were almost full.” On the evening of March 6, in the parking lot on the right side of the army’s main entrance, there were two female fans in their 20s in the car. Outerwear was going to stay up all night, and fans who came from all over the place followed suit, planning to sleep in the car.The OB truck of the TV station in front of the entrance also occupied a place for the live broadcast.In South Korea, although it is common for celebrities to serve as soldiers, it is the first time for Hyun Bin to be broadcast live on TV stations and websites, which shows how popular Hyun Bin is. With a cropped head and an army green jacket, Hyun Bin, who is already dressed as a reserve soldier, still radiates charm that day.He said, "When I left Seoul at 7 am this morning, I heard that many people came here in such a cold day. Thank you for taking your precious time to watch an ordinary person enlist in the army and accompany him until the end." On December 24 last year, Hyun Bin accepted an interview at the Suwon Military Manpower Office in South Korea. He is the oldest among the recruits of the South Korean Marine Corps this year.According to the arrangement of the military, after enlisting in the army, Hyun Bin will receive a 7-week training in physical fitness and basic military skills.Afterwards, he will be randomly assigned by the computer which unit he will serve in. At 8 am on December 6, 2012, Hyun Bin will be officially discharged from the military. "As a man, it is my duty to serve as a soldier. Two years later, I will stand in front of everyone with a more handsome and outstanding appearance." At the end of the farewell meeting, tearful Hyun Bin suddenly told the media and "fans" Thank you again for your support. Since appearing in Korean dramas at the end of 2010, Hyun Bin's popularity in South Korea has reached its peak.Some advertisers even ignored the fact that he would not be able to participate in entertainment activities for the next two years, and took the initiative to ask him to sign a two-year endorsement contract, for fear that Hyun Bin would be "robbed" by others after he retired from the army.In the month before enlisting in the army, Hyun Bin took part in 6 commercials, attracting as much as 4 billion won (about 23 million RMB).After enlisting in the army, Xuan Bin can only receive 78,300 won (459 yuan) in military pay every month, which is a difference of more than 510,000 times.Before enlisting in the army, Hyun Bin also released a special single called "Can't Have You" as a special gift to his "fans" before enlisting in the army. In 2011, Hyun Bin ranked first in the most handsome male artist selected by Korean public opinion; in 2011, Hyun Bin also ranked first in the "Most Attractive Male Artist with Korean Voice" in the Korean Women's Portal Survey; The first place is still Hyun Bin.The first of countless public selections focused on one person, and that was Hyun Bin. Fans are looking forward to Hyun Bin's enlistment, wondering if sister Qiao will be there to send him to the army on the day he enlists. Song Hye Kyo's figure did not appear, and the person in charge of the agency cited her busy schedule as an excuse.The next day, the truth came out.The agency stated that they broke up at the beginning of the year.The reason why I have been "hiding" everyone is that I don't want to be excessively "gossip" on the eve of Xuan Bin's enlistment in the army. Many people thought that Xuan Bin was Qiao Mei's true son, but this relationship finally came to an end. Recalling the time when the two first started dating, Hyun Bin said in an interview: "Love is like running a marathon. At the beginning, both physical strength and condition are great, but as time goes by, various situations begin to appear." He had the foresight to predict the trend of his love. According to their friends, Song Hye Kyo called Hyun Bin before he enlisted in the army, wishing him a successful military service, and Hyun Bin expressed his gratitude to Song Hye Kyo for not disclosing the news of their breakup until after he enlisted. I am alone with the media and the public. The two of them were still friends after breaking up, and they often talked on the phone after breaking up. Hyun Bin went to the army, leaving Song Hye Kyo alone to face the questioning and questioning of the media and the public.In fact, this is not the biggest difficulty. With Song Hye Kyo's experience, facing the media is not difficult. The most difficult thing is that Hyun Bin is so popular, but Song Hye Kyo is still struggling at the starting line that the two of them were determined to work hard at the beginning.It's like saying that we want to fly together, you fly high and far, but I still look at you eagerly on the ground. Such an unbalanced love has never happened in Song Hye Kyo's past emotional experience. The fans turned towards Hyun Bin overwhelmingly.They said, well, Ha Ji Won who worked with Hyun Bin is more suitable for Hyun Bin.Some people ridiculed that a "witch" like Song Hye Kyo is good at seducing men, but fortunately Tony Leung knows how to control himself, otherwise Carina Lau would lose her status if she collaborated with "The Grandmaster". Some people even reversed the verdict on Song Hye Kyo's achievements, saying that Song Hye Kyo's appearance, figure and acting skills are average, and she was praised too much in the past. The wall fell and everyone pushed.Since then, Song Hye Kyo has never had a word-of-mouth work.With Xuan Bin, she thought about trying to surpass her, but she always wanted to fly, but she couldn't fly high. In the end, the lover left and flew away, and Qiao Mei made a movie "Today" alone that couldn't be found on Baidu to heal her wounds, but the wounds became more and more healed. This is the world artists live in, like being in a transparent room, even the body seems to be transparent, allowing people to see through their hearts at once.There were crowds watching, applauding and feeling sad, but the glass door and wall were insulators.Some people say that artists are people too, and they are right, but they are not ordinary people.So the love of ordinary people is just a luxury for them.
