Chapter 11 3. The innocent sister Qiao was "starred"

Song Hye Kyo entered the Chinese film industry, first cooperating with Hong Kong directors, and then testing the waters in the mainland.This is an unavoidable path.In the past two years, the mainland film industry has been too hot, and everyone wants to get a piece of it. However, if I ask you, what Chinese movies and TV series has Song Hye Kyo acted in? What titles come to mind? "1949", "The Great Master", "Orphan of the Zhao Family", "Father of the Nation Sun Yat-sen"... It seems to be fruitful.In fact, except for "The Grandmaster", which is a collaboration with Wong Kar-wai, who is famous for his slow filming, has not yet been finalized, and its release is nowhere in sight, the other few films have only been hyped in the news for a while.

"1949" with John Woo has already been put on the agenda. In many interviews, Ms. Qiao even said that she was honored to cooperate with Director John Woo, and hoped to take the opportunity of cooperating with John Woo not only to enter the Chinese film industry, but also to By virtue of Wu Yusen's reputation in Hollywood, he entered the international film industry and became an international movie star. Helpless, the wish is good, but the result is disappointment. Not only did "1949" not start shooting smoothly, but disputes also occurred in films such as "The Orphan of Zhao".Song Hye Kyo's move into Chinese-language movies is loud with thunder and little rain.

Let's take a closer look at the news about Song Hye Kyo's participation, "Orphan of the Zhao Family" and "Father of the Nation, Sun Yat-sen". : Song Hye Kyo's conditions are too harsh? In 2002, Zhang Jizhong planned to put another classic work of Jin Yong on the screen after , and it is said that this time Zhang Jizhong cast his sights on Korean beauties. In February 2002, the crew of the film got in touch with Kim Hee Sun, and also had initial communication with Song Hye Kyo.I want to find an actor to play the heroine Wang Yuyan. This is not a worry-free job for both the crew and the actors.Korean actors are neither familiar with the work nor understand Chinese, so the company sent them a Korean version of the script outline.During the preliminary contact, although Kim Hee Sun expressed his interest in acting in this drama, but because he did not know Jin Yong and his works, the initial contact did not make any substantial progress.And Song Hye Kyo, who was just 19 years old at the time, was close to Wang Yuyan in age. It is understood that Song Hye Kyo said that she liked the drama better and was arranging a schedule. Therefore, the crew was also arranging a meeting with Song Hye Kyo.

In June 2002, Zhang Jizhong revealed to reporters that due to the harsh conditions offered by the popular Korean idol Song Hye Kyo to the crew, the crew had to give up the popular Korean idol.And an insider even complained to the reporter that the production company had offered Song Hye Kyo a record-breaking 500 million won as a film remuneration, but it still failed to impress her. "Such a price can't impress Song Hye Kyo, she is indeed too big!" Previously, the news that Korean queen Song Hye Kyo was to be invited to play Wang Yuyan was considered by the media as an eye-catching hype, but the investor of the show and a person in charge of Kyushu Audiovisual Company told the reporter quite aggrievedly that they had already negotiated with Song Hye Kyo's acting agency company. The two sides even talked about the details of salary and schedule; and the producer Zhang Jizhong, who is holding a casting meeting, even revealed the inside story to reporters-Song Hye Kyo was quite moved after reading the script translated into Korean. , has verbally agreed to play.However, the conditions she proposed for participating in the show surprised the crew—Song Hye Kyo can only set aside a few days for filming each month, and the crew is not allowed to intervene in the rest of the time!Zhang Jizhong expressed quite angrily that the role of "Wang Yuyan" will take at least four months, and the conditions put forward by Song Hye Kyo are difficult for the crew to accept: "She may want to have more time to make a lot of money."

Song Hye Kyo's agency did not respond much to this incident.The main reason is that Song Hye Kyo is still young when she first debuted. Although she is already a popular idol, but she is new to the mainland and in unfamiliar situations, it is better not to deal with it.Compared with the public opinion that Kim Hee-sun "can't play Wang Yuyan because she is too old", Song Hye-kyo's "requirements are too high and the crew does not accept it", it sounds more favorable.In addition, although Zhang Jizhong's Jin Yong drama has not had a good reputation, it is the leading big production in the mainland.Every time Zhang Jizhong shoots a film, he will use casting to create momentum. The crew not only use the name of Korean stars to hype, but also Zhang Ziyi, Carina Lau, Lu Yi, Huang Yi... famous actors have become ingredients for hype.Song Hye Kyo's management team felt that even if she was fired, it wouldn't hurt.Even inexplicably being fired up, it has to be said to be a win-win situation.

The crew finally decided on Liu Yifei to play the role of Wang Yuyan.The beauty and fashion media soon appeared an article titled "Whitening leader Song Hye Kyo VK Liu Yifei", which made people smile knowingly. "The Orphan of Zhao": Song Hye Kyo backtracks? In 2002, Song Hye Kyo's management team chose not to act in the face of the mainland crew who borrowed their own hype.Eight years later, in 2010, will she still be as "tolerant" as before? In 2010, Chen Kaige's annual masterpiece "The Orphan of the Zhao Family" was launched in Beijing.The movie has not yet started shooting, but there are ups and downs. The Korean actress Song Hye Kyo who was originally confirmed to star in the movie announced through her agency that she has never been invited by the crew, nor has she ever met the director himself. rampant.This caused the producer of "The Orphan of Zhao" to shout "magical". The producer represented the chairman of Xingmei Films Qin Hong smiled bitterly: "Could it be that what we saw was a fake Song Hye Kyo? This time I have seen the way Korean colleagues use screenwriting It’s the ability to do media public relations.” He also confirmed that Fan Bingbing played the role of Princess Zhuang Ji in The Orphan of Zhao.

Tan Hong, chairman of Star Beauty Pictures, said in an interview with reporters: "It was a very normal actor change, but the other party turned the truth upside down and criticized the entire Chinese media and the way the movie was promoted. This is something to say. If Song Hye-kyo was not so sincere at the time, and repeatedly expressed her desire to act, Director Kaige would not have met her. Later, since the two parties did not agree on the details of the contract, they should give up. How can you say that you have not met the director?" Qin Tan Hong thinks this is a great disrespect to the crew, "Could it be that there are two Song Hye Kyos in this world? Are we seeing a cloned Song Hye Kyo?"

As to whether the real reason for the two parties not reaching a cooperation agreement was as harsh as some media said Song Hye Kyo had put forward, Tan Hong said lightly: "The card is too big, we can't afford to serve her." However, when the two parties did not sign a contract, the crew officials It also directly announced that Song Hye Kyo will participate in the show.Regarding this contradiction, Qin Hong said that after meeting Song Hye Kyo at that time, the director felt that her image and temperament met the requirements of the role, and he was about to enter the signing stage. Song's mainland agent was ready to release news to the media; and some media also learned of this. The crew will no longer deny the news.According to Qin Hong's analysis, the reason why Song Hye Kyo's agency made such a strong statement may be because Korean media reported that Song Hye Kyo went to Beijing several times in order to get the role of "Zhao" and lost her dignity. The agency released the statement under pressure.

It is understood that the role assigned to Song Hye Kyo by the crew before was Zhuang Ji, the mother of Zhao Wu, an orphan of the Zhao family, and now Fan Bingbing is finally determined to play this role.In fact, Fan Bingbing and Chen Kaige cooperated very early. In the short film "A Hu" shot by Chen Kaige for a certain website, Fan Bingbing was the heroine.According to the film's introduction, Fan Bingbing has always been Zhuang Ji's candidate, but because of schedule allocation and many other reasons, she did not decide to cooperate.And according to the news from Fan Bingbing's studio, Fan Bingbing will reduce the number of filmings this time in order to play "The Orphan of Zhao" well, and concentrate on entering Zhuang Ji's rich inner world.Crew spokesman Huang Bin told reporters: "In this film, Fan Bingbing will overturn the previous acting experience, presenting to the audience a beautiful princess that has never been seen before, a simple but powerful mother."

Then why did Song Hye Kyo's management team do nothing in 2002, but why did they speak so harshly and react so violently in 2010? The root cause is that the brokerage company has changed.It was precisely because the original brokerage company was not strong enough and didn't get too many good jobs for herself that Qiaomei decided to quit.Star City Entertainment, where Michelle Yeoh is the boss, is relatively more familiar with the mainland entertainment industry. If you hype me up, I will take the opportunity to hype it even bigger. In addition, part of the reason is that in the past, Liu Yifei was nothing more than Liu Yifei, whose reputation was not as good as Song Hye Kyo's.This time I became Fan Bingbing. As a first-line actress, she has a very high appearance rate. If every time she appears on the scene, she will give people a little association that "this character belonged to Song Hye Kyo at the beginning", there will be no disadvantages.

As for why Song Hye Kyo agreed to appear in "The Orphan of Zhao" but did not act in the end, it cannot be ruled out that Fan Bingbing is more box office than Song Hye Kyo! "Father of the Nation, Sun Yat-sen": Why do Koreans play the role of the mother of the nation? In 2011, there was news that a movie called "Father of the Nation, Sun Yat-sen" was about to be launched in April. Oscar nominated Roland Joffe, who won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in France, will direct the film.Speaking of actors, Soong Ching Ling will be played by Song Hye Kyo, while Sun Yat-sen is expected to be played by Tony Leung.The producer said: "The talks are almost done, and it's basically settled." As soon as the news came out, Song Hye Kyo's role as Soong Ching Ling aroused doubts and condemnations from netizens.Netizens commented one after another: "Why did you let a foreigner play the mother of the country?" In response, the producer responded: "The film is about Soong Ching Ling at the age of 22, and Song Hye Kyo is very suitable in terms of image. There are also market considerations. , the film will be released in other parts of Asia." However, the reporter learned from the "The Grandmaster" that the two were filming at the time that the film was still being filmed, and it was not yet finalized.The reporter learned that Tony Leung's next new film is , and the film will start soon.In addition, Song Hye Kyo's role as Song Qingling also caused a lot of controversy. This kind of news is usually considered to be hype for the film's casting, but it was miscalculated after all.Facts have proved that this nonsensical news was soon overwhelmed by the news that Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin broke up. Prior to this, Song Hye Kyo's agency "Star City Entertainment" also issued a statement, in addition to denying it, it also believed that the role should be performed by a Chinese. Star City Entertainment Statement 2011.3.2 Recently, mainland media reported that Song Hye Kyo will play the role of Soong Ching Ling in the movie "Father of the Nation, Sun Yat-sen". This report is not true. On behalf of Song Hye Kyo, our company issues the following statements: 1. The company has never received any call or letter from any crew, inviting Song Hye Kyo to perform "Father of the Nation, Sun Yat-sen". 2. Song Hye Kyo is currently filming the new work "Today" (formerly translated Nobody Somebody) by Korean director Lee Jung Hyang (also translated as Li Tingxiang). In addition, "The Grandmaster" directed by Wong Kar Wai has not yet finished filming, so it is impossible to take other films in April. 3. Soong Ching Ling has the title of "Mother of the Nation" in mainland China, and her historical status is quite lofty. The company believes that this role should be interpreted by a Chinese actress. Therefore, even if she is invited, the company does not think it is suitable for Song Hye Kyo to perform. Very clever PR draft.The first point is to tell the facts, the second point is to promote, and the third point is to refute rumors. In fact, when this news was released, Song Hye Kyo was filming the movie "Today" in South Korea.In the film, she plays a TV producer who was originally brimming with happiness as a newlywed, but one day her husband died in an accidental car accident, and the perpetrator escaped. She suffered a great blow to her body and mind after undergoing tremendous changes. Pain, she has a rather tortuous and delicate inner drama performance in the play. It sounds like a small production with little to see, right? The Korean movie industry is past prime time.Our Mango Channel has also started to introduce Korean TV dramas to remakes. Although Korean films once gathered a large number of talents, the size of the country determines the capacity of their film industry.You can see in their historical dramas, the palace is the same size as our county government, and the wars are just like the servants of our rich families. They have never seen the momentum of thousands of troops, and they can foresee the future of their film industry. up. Miss Qiao will definitely come to the mainland to film.It's just that before that, it is necessary to test the waters and test the waters, negotiate and negotiate. In fact, they are also anxious.Although Han Xing is still very charismatic, he is on the decline.Our international chapter international superstars are shining brightly, and Korean actresses will have less and less selling points.
