Chapter 91 It Turns Out to Be Her
Seoul, South Korea
Li Zhushan stared in amazement at the man in front of him, who was said to be a fat Chinese man who had flown back from the UK specially.
The face is round, the arms are thick, and the thighs are fleshy.
Although he cannot be said to be short and stocky, he is definitely a typical example of horizontal development.
Such a person still wants to become a star?
But when he looked behind him, he saw Yang Huan sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs, and having a great time playing games with Long Wu. When he thought of the generous conditions he offered, Li Zhushan suppressed the urge to refuse.
It's not easy to make money these days.
It is even more difficult to meet a big money sponsor.
"Have you ever learned to sing?" Li Zhushan asked patiently.
The fat man shook his head.
"Have you ever participated in a singing competition?"
The fat man shook his head again.
Li Zhushan tried to smile more kindly, "It's okay, have you ever learned to dance?"
The fat man still shook his head.
Li Zhushan's face fell. How could he become a star if he had never learned to sing or dance?
"It doesn't matter, you can learn all of these." Li Zhushan quickly put on a smile again.
"So what do you like to do most? Or, do you have any goals or ideals?"
The fat man thought for a moment and said, "I want to be a superstar like Michael Jackson."
Li Zhushan collapsed. It turned out that the fat guy was a crazy fan who was so obsessed with his idol that he even forgot who his parents were.
"Wait a minute." Li Zhushan stood up from his seat and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He walked up to Yang Huan and asked, "Mr. Yang Huan, can I have a few words with you?"
Yang Huan raised his head and looked at the choreographer who spoke English with a strong Korean accent. "Tell me what you want to say. Tell Fatty that he is the one who wants to be a star."
Li Zhushan smiled bitterly, he also knew that the fat guy wanted to be a star, but the problem was that he didn't know how to make the fat guy into a star. If he knew, he would not only be a choreographer, he could also become a master who could turn stone into gold.
When the time comes, if you walk on the street and ask who wants to be a star, you can immediately make him a superstar. Then won’t he become rich?
"I just want to talk to you about him." Li Zhushan didn't dare to offend the big moneybag.
Yang Huan sighed reluctantly, turned off the game on his mobile phone, and sat up straight.
"Okay, tell me, what's the matter?"
Li Zhushan also sat down. "Actually, Mr. Yang Huan, if we really want to be a star, I think you are more suitable than him. With your looks, figure, and temperament, I can guarantee that you will become a big hit in the entertainment industry."
Yang Huan looked at the Korean choreographer who was beating around the bush with displeasure, "I'm not interested in being a star!"
What’s so fun about being a star?
If I want to be one, I would like to be a director or an investor, and I can seduce those female stars whenever I want. That's really fun.
Being a star? You work so hard but don't make much money, and you still have to be seduced by others. Why bother?
"I know, I know. Mr. Yang Huan definitely doesn't need to be a celebrity to make money." Li Zhushan explained with an awkward smile.
"My thought is that if Mr. Du wants to be a star, it will be a bit difficult."
After a pause, he was afraid that Yang Huan would back out and the deal would be lost, so he immediately added, "Of course, it's not impossible, but I think it will take some time."
"how long?"
"It will take at least two years, at most ten years, and I will be responsible for training him."
Yang stood up in a rage, "Oh my god, two years? Ten years? The opportunity has already passed!"
He had heard before that the Korean entertainment industry attached great importance to this training system. Almost every star had to go through a long period of training before their debut, so in Korea, the brokerage companies were very powerful.
"Mr. Yang Huan, I don't want to either!" Li Zhushan also quickly stood up. "He can't sing or dance. He needs to learn all these, and he needs to start from the basics. He's not young anymore, he's over 20, his muscles and bones are stiff, so it will be difficult for him to learn."
Yang Huan knew in his heart that this was true to a certain extent, but it was still too long.
If we let this fat guy spend a few years learning singing and dancing, wouldn't he be over 30 when he makes his debut?
What a shit star!
"Well, just don't learn those messy things, don't learn any basic skills, just teach him a dance, a very simple dance."
Li Zhushan smiled bitterly again, "Mr. Yang Huan, even if this is the simplest dance, it still requires basic skills."
“My dance does not require basic skills!” Yang Huan was puzzled. Who said that dancing requires basic skills?
Didn’t you see that when the Horse Dance became popular, weren’t the kids in kindergarten and the dancing ladies in the square all dancing it?
As he spoke, Yang Huan performed the horse riding dance a few times in front of Li Zhushan according to his memory.
Li Zhushan looked at it with a wry smile, is this a dance?
Why does it feel like riding a horse?
Moreover, the dance is short, with only a few movements coming and going, so it is easy to learn.
Even if you have some basic dance skills, you can put what you have learned into practice on the spot.
"How is it? I just danced casually, just make it look more realistic for me."
"Just these few moves?" Li Zhushan couldn't believe it.
"Yes, with just these few moves, they are simple and easy to remember. Everyone, from old ladies in their sixties or seventies to children of three or four years old, even those who have no dance skills, can do it."
Li Zhushan had no idea what Yang Huan wanted to do. In his understanding, perhaps this rich young master wanted to play a game to help his friend fulfill a wish.
As such, he didn't say anything more.
After Yang Huan performed the horse riding dance just now, he had already memorized it and began to think it over in his mind, trying his best to choreograph this set of simple and easy-to-remember movements to make it look better, and then he took Du Ziteng to the dance studio.
But I was doubting in my heart, is there really a superstar in this world who can only sing one song and dance one dance?
How is this possible?
Is it impossible?
Yang Huan just likes to do things that others think are impossible.
After letting Du Ziteng learn the horse riding dance for a whole morning and seeing that he had learned it quite well, Yang Huan started filming the MV.
The MV shooting was actually very simple. Yang Huan had already found a small-budget filming crew of a few people through Li Zhushan's relationship, and the scenes could also be taken from local locations, such as parks, parking lots, subway stations, etc.
Yang Huan originally planned to finish the shoot in two or three days.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the filming started, he felt something was wrong.
“Crack! Crack!”
Yang Huan suddenly called for a stop, which startled everyone present and they all looked over at once.
The director of the filming crew looked even more aggrieved.
Isn’t it said that shouting “cut” is not the director’s exclusive right?
Du Ziteng was wearing black sunglasses, a white open-necked shirt, an orange scarf, and shorts. He was lying on a recliner, but Yang Huan felt something was wrong.
There are problems with the actors, and there are also problems with the filmers.
"Lao Du, your expression should be more obscene. Just try to imagine yourself as an obscene fat man."
Yang Huan's words surprised everyone present.
"Mr. Yang Huan, we are shooting a MV..." Li Zhushan said with a wry smile.
Which record company doesn’t try their best to make their stars look handsome when making music videos?
Even if someone's appearance is not satisfactory like Du Ziteng, as long as the angle is slightly adjusted, the photo can still be made more acceptable to the audience.
"Yes, we are shooting an MV!" Yang Huan knew that they were shooting an MV, but they just couldn't capture the feeling Yang Huan wanted. "We are not competing with those gay boys in terms of handsomeness. We are competing with them in terms of ugliness and who can make more jokes!"
When Li Zhushan heard this, he suddenly understood.
Yes, in terms of being more handsome and cute, even if Du Ziteng had ten plastic surgeries, he might not be as good as those stars. It is better for him to make a surprise attack and go for a spoof. In this way, ugliness becomes an image that is more easily accepted by the audience and more natural.
It's just a joke, why are you so handsome?
"Yes, listen to Mr. Yang Huan and take some obscene photos!" Li Zhushan immediately gave the instructions.
Yang Huan stood up and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself!"
As he said that, he walked in front of Du Ziteng.
"Lao Du, judging from your appearance, I guess you've never had a girlfriend, right?"
"How do you know?" Du Ziteng admitted sadly.
Yang Huan laughed and said, "Look at you, can't you see it?"
"I guess you must often hide away and watch romantic action movies. Just try to imagine that you are watching a romantic action movie now."
"Imagine?" Du Ziteng seemed a little embarrassed.
"Or, I can consider using an iPad to broadcast it live for you."
Du Ziteng immediately shook his head, "No, no, I can do it."
Just kidding, after watching so many romantic action movies for so many years, I must have known at least eighty AV actresses, and I have reached the extraordinary level of having seen all the erotic movies in the world and having them all in my heart.
Imagine, is it difficult?
As he said and thought, the fat man soon revealed an obscene smile and stared blankly ahead.
Even with a pair of black sunglasses covering his face, his drooling look was still extremely vulgar, making people want to burst into laughter.
“That’s it!”
Yang Huan waved and called the photographer, indicating that he should shoot diagonally upwards from the angle where he was standing, to further magnify the wretched image of the fat man and also to take a big close-up.
After the camera zoomed in to a certain extent, Du Ziteng suddenly opened his mouth and sang the song "Gangnam Style" which Yang Huan had arranged for someone to adapt the lyrics into Chinese. The whole process was done in one go.
The lounge chairs, the beach, the parasols, the cold drinks in hand, all these make one think that one is at the beach.
But when the camera zoomed out, everyone noticed that this was actually a children's playground.
Then, a little boy who was specially found from Li Zhushan’s dance training class, who was very arrogant, danced in front of Du Ziteng.
Here Yang Huan called for a timeout again, specifically asking the little boy to pull again and be more arrogant.
The whole scene made everyone present burst into laughter.
Now Li Zhushan finally understood that Yang Huan’s MV was not an MV at all, but actually a spoof.
This looks more like one of those spoof videos on YouTube than a celebrity music video.
The difference is that Yang Huan invested a lot of money, not only to create special effects, but also to hire a popular female star to dance with him.
With Yang Huan's personal control, the entire shooting process went very quickly.
The scenes at the children's playground were quickly filmed, and everyone immediately moved to the stable and bathhouse for filming.
Since everything had been prepared in advance, the extras had received their lunch boxes and were in their positions, and Du Ziteng and the crew also understood Yang Huan's requirements, so the filming progressed very quickly.
In the afternoon, we arrived at a gymnasium.
When the crew started filming the female lead's scenes, the female MV guest specially invited by Yang Huan for Du Ziteng also came to the shooting scene. Everyone realized at this time that it was her!
