Incheon, Mural Village, this village basically retains the architectural style of the Han Dynasty in the 1970s and 1980s, and most of the residents are elderly.
"Ssangmun-dong" in the TV series is located in Dobong-gu, Seoul, but the actual filming location is here.
As for the specific alley where President Cheng, President Jin, Xiuying, and Aze live, it does not exist in reality.
So it was built out of thin air by the crew for filming needs.
As for another important place in the drama that promotes the development of the plot, the Brazilian Tteokbokki shop, this shop does exist, but it is not in Ssangmun-dong, but in District 2, Eupnae Village, Haemimyeon, Seosan City, Chungcheongnam-do.
In the play, the "Two-Gate Girls' High School" where Deok-sun is studying does not exist, as is the "Two-Gate High School" where Sun-woo and Gou-hwan study. The filming locations are Incheon Shinmyeong Girls' High School and Incheon Health High School.
Today is the first time that the completed crew met Liu Qingshan. Although most of them have gone through his audition, they were still very excited to see him in the crew.
Nowadays, this drama has become popular even before it is filmed. In addition to those fans who have money and leisure, there are also quite a few adults who come from afar to see what is going on on the set. people.
This directly led to the tense hotel accommodation situation in the entire city of Incheon. This is by no means an exaggeration, but it can be seen from the large number of onlookers gathered outside the studio this morning.
In the cold country where everyone is an artist, such a popular crew is the envy of every actor. After all, the involution in this industry is too intense.
That's why the actors in the crew were so excited when they saw Liu Qingshan.
Because being able to star in a hit drama means that you can be popular for a long time, and with it, there will be constant opportunities for announcements.
The advertising fees for actors in the Han Kingdom are not as outrageous as those in Mainland China. Except for a few top actors, they can receive a salary equivalent to 5 million Chinese dollars, which is also the highest salary level in this country's history.
Most of the other actors earn about 10,000 to 20,000 Chinese dollars, which is why Hanguo artists go to the mainland desperately to attract fans.
If we compare it with the mainland, we will know how big the market is there.
Top celebrities have dozens of endorsements, each worth tens of millions, and can earn hundreds of millions a year just from advertising.
It’s no wonder that many people in the domestic entertainment industry are confused. Who doesn’t have hundreds of millions in their hands?
The mainland market is as big as all Europe, America, Japan and South Korea combined. This is why mainland stars don’t actually want to expand the overseas market. As long as they become popular in the mainland, they will become popular all over the world.
As long as foreign stars become famous in China, they will brag about it in their own country, and then they will get a lot of resources in the country. You know how many people are eyeing the mainland market.
In the Cold Country, they can only maintain a high income by increasing the frequency of announcements, but the industry is so deeply involved, which shows how important it is to them to be able to star in a hit drama.
Even some of the more well-known veteran actors in the show cherish this opportunity, including the young adult actors who have not yet had their turn. They could have joined the crew at this time according to the contract.
But this group of people are more afraid to miss this opportunity than the famous veteran actors, because they still have a certain network base, and the number of young actors is simply too great.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
How valued they are.
These two people are Cheng Dongyi and Li Yihua, who play Deshan's parents respectively. They will be the most famous CP team in Hanguo in the future. If you include this drama, they are the couple who have worked together for the first time.
In fact, both of them are not very old. Cheng Dongyi is only 39 years old this year, and Li Yihua is four years younger than him.
In fact, it can be seen from the age that people in their thirties will be classified as middle-aged and elderly actors. This shows how serious and cruel the situation in the entertainment industry of Han Country is where the young prevail over the old.
Fortunately, the two people's acting skills are very good. There is a reason why they are classified as veteran drama stars.
However, at this time, they are far from showing signs of dominating the screen later. Although due to their acting skills, they have continued to get roles, but they have not yet produced a masterpiece that can be called a big hit.
Therefore, the two of them were actually confused as to why they received special treatment from Liu Qingshan. After all, it was not unheard of for them to be able to play characters in the play under their real names, it was just quite rare.
Liu Qingshan found them first as soon as he got out of the car because these two people were the rare ones in the crew who had never met before.
And he led Jin Xishan behind him: "These are Deshan's future parents. Have you and your family communicated in advance?"
Jin Xishan pretended to be annoyed and pushed him: "Brother Dongyi and Sister Yehua have been working together for a long time, and you are the only foreigner in the entire crew, so why are you so shameless in introducing them to us?"
There was a lot of laughter.
Liu Qingshan clapped his hands and informed everyone: "Don't hang around here, go to the dressing room, try on the outfits, tell me if the size is not right, so that the production staff can quickly correct it! But since it is a period drama, In terms of attitude, don’t hold on to the baggage of idols, just wear whatever is given to you, don’t pick and choose for me!”
He entered the director's state in just a few sentences. Besides, he is also the screenwriter of this drama. People with two superimposed identities in Han Country are the last people to mess with, even if they are investors.
However, no one will be intimidated by his one or two words. Most people know that he makes a clear distinction between work and personal relationships, and is still very easy to contact in private.
Because he is so famous in Hanguo, almost every move he makes is followed by people, and the entertainment industry here is a small circle, all condensed in the city of Seoul. Basically, the artists here are all looking up and not looking down. status.
When it comes to which actor people are most concerned about in this highly anticipated drama, there is no doubt that it is Jin Xishan.
Because she is the only actress who has played a role from a girl to a middle-aged person, many people in the industry and outside the industry still have deep doubts about whether she can take on the role of an eighteen-year-old high school student.
So when everyone was trying on the outfits, their expectations for Jin Xishan's new image, both secretly and overtly, were far more worrying than their own image.
And whether a drama can become a classic, it must ensure that every character in it is outstanding. Otherwise, it is not uncommon for one character to drag the entire plot.
Jin Xishan is the only one-person dressing room, and the most staff gathered outside her door at this moment.
Liu Qingshan personally entered the room to help her design the look, which showed that he himself was not sure about it.
Jin Xishan put a lot of effort into this role. First of all, he had to cut his long hair into the hairstyle of a student of that era, just above his ears.
From this point alone, you can see how dedicated a professional actress she is. She hardly even frowned. On the contrary, Liu Qingshan was shouting at the side that it was a pity that her hair was cut off.
This prompted Jin Xishan to reply with dissatisfaction: "I said you can't be quiet? I haven't said anything yet, and my mentality is normal, but when you disturb me like this, I'm not even worried, but I'm scared!"
Liu Qingshan quickly shut up, but the unbearable feeling in his heart remained. Out of sight and out of mind, he simply went out to inspect other rooms.
When he came back, he couldn't help but be amazed.
Deshan, a young and immature high school student, is not the same as before.
Strictly speaking, she is 29 years old this year. After her physical transformation, although her skin is still very delicate and close to that of a minor, after all her age and artist experience, her first impression is still that of an adult. sex.
But after such a change of image, the effect of physical transformation was immediately reflected, and her acting skills were quite recognized in both countries, and the image of a girl she presented actually had no sense of violation.
In particular, the natural face without any makeup fit perfectly with Cheng Deshan, who was in high school. Even Liu Qingshan, who had been in a close relationship with him for three years, felt an inexplicable thrill.
Although the makeup artist is from Han, he is Choi Hye-young, an old acquaintance who worked with Jin Xishan when he debuted. He has now switched jobs to Snowland Entertainment with Park Hye-jin.
She smiled and explained to Liu Qingshan: "Actually, after Xishan received this role, he asked me to help him try out this image. I was more shocked than you at the time!"
Liu Qingshan nodded, walked forward with a smile, and teased Jin Xishan's chin with a finger: "Little girl, my brother has taken a liking to you, do you want to go with him?"
Jin Xishan was so angry that he slapped him in the face: "Go, go, stop bothering me, I'm worried about you!"
Her inner tension is unavoidable. The character of Deshan is too important in the entire drama. If a drama is ruined because of her image problem, the consequences will be no less than damaging the reputation of an artist in the past ten years.
Liu Qingshan's expression was calm: "Do you know how I felt when I saw you when I just came in? I actually felt like first love, because the intuitive impression you gave me was that of a high school student who has not yet shed his childishness!"
"Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
"I dare to lie to you and I dare not lie to the audience. If I don't have confidence in your image, do I dare to continue filming? If I force it, not only will your reputation be ruined, but my career as a director will also be over!"
Jin Xishan looked at Cui Huiying uneasily, who smiled and said: "Why don't you go out through this side door, there is no one there, then don't say anything and go around to the front door, see how many people don't recognize you!"
