"Senior, the director said we need to add more foundation."
"I needed a cool, cool look, like you have in a 'Buggernaut' movie where you're like, yeah, great, that's it, hold on, great, great."
"Senior, drink water."
"The last five sets, Miss Li, I didn't expect you to be so patient. Oh, this is our President He. He hopes to take a photo with you."

Inside a studio in Dazhidong, Jiangnan District.
As the heroine of the recent hit "The Spy", Lee Young-ae, who participated in the filming of a women's clothing advertisement, is surrounded by stars, and she is indeed worthy of this popularity.
Costing tens of millions of dollars, South Korea's No. 1 blockbuster "The Spy" was released on Saturday, February 13th. Two days before New Year's Eve, it quickly detonated the market with the film's overwhelming marketing and its excellent quality. It only started in the twelfth lunar month. In the first six days of the box office from the 28th to the third day of the lunar calendar, it quickly attracted 3.43 million moviegoers.
South Korea officially realized the nationwide ticket sales network at the end of 1998, five years earlier than before.
Of course, it is mainly due to the penetration of the Korean cinema industry by the Westeros System. By the end of 1998, the capital controlled by the Westeros System had taken over more than 70% of the cinemas in South Korea, and was still investing in building more modern cinemas. Brand new cinema.
Under the background of basically controlling the Korean cinema industry, realizing online ticket sales is of course a piece of cake.
This is beside the point.
After being a hit in the first week, this aggressive domestic film unexpectedly inspired the national pride of Koreans in this bleak winter after South Korea's economic boom. After all, for two decades before this, Korean films had been dominated by Hollywood and Hong Kong movies rule. In short, in the second full box office week from February 19th to February 25th, although the New Year holiday of the lunar calendar has passed, "Life and Death" still managed to gain 2.78 million views again with a weak decline of 19%. Movie times.
In two weeks, the cumulative number of moviegoers for "The Spies" has reached 6.21 million.
This has directly surpassed "Jurassic Park 3", which topped South Korea's box office in 1998. Last year, only data from the Seoul area was counted. The number of viewers of "Jurassic Park 3" in the Seoul area was 1.77 million, and the national number was tripled. Approximately 5.3 million moviegoers.
Now, it is expected that "The Spies" will win about 2 million more moviegoers in the future, raising the total number of moviegoers to more than 8 million. It has basically locked in the box office crown in 1999 in advance. Looking back, Korean local films have The last time it won the box office title was "Winter Woman" in 1977.
In this cold winter when many Koreans can only receive relief and cannot even afford heating, the release of "The Spy" has greatly enhanced the national pride of Koreans. Even the Blue House recently expressed its special voice for this film. congratulate.
As the heroine of the movie, Lee Young-ae's popularity in South Korea can be imagined.
After a busy morning of commercial shooting, Lee Young-ae left the studio surrounded by a group of bodyguard assistants. As soon as she got in the car, she noticed Kim So-min in the passenger seat. Her original pride was instantly wiped away, and she became a little more respectful. He leaned forward to say hello: "Assistant Jin, why are you here?"
"I was passing by and came to pick you up," Jin Somin said, "The boss has come to Seoul, and all your work arrangements for the next few days have been cancelled."
With that said, Jin Somin didn't mean to ask Li Yingai for any opinions, and already ordered the driver to drive.
Hearing a certain name, Li Ying'ai's thoughts froze. She subconsciously glanced at the entourage who was blocked outside the car. Seeing that the car had started, she could only sit down. She felt anxious and a little expectant. Anyway, she couldn't resist. thought.
Everything now was given by that man, and it would be too easy for the other party to take it away.
Walking all the way east from Daechi-dong to the mountain villa in the southeastern suburbs of Seoul, Li Young-ae was also familiar with the road. When the car stopped, she no longer dared to have any of the arrogance of being sought after recently, and walked with her head slightly lowered. Xiao Xiaobu followed Jin Sumin towards the manor villa.
After entering the door, the two separated. Li Yingai was taken away by a waitress, and she changed into a new set of clothes, and her bag, jewelry and even her watch were taken away.
Although slightly uncomfortable, I still obeyed.
Because she knew about the eavesdropping incident, Li Yingai was quite familiar with the girl who was caught that time, but she never saw each other again. As for what happened, she didn't dare to ask.
However, all women who have experienced that incident have become quite vigilant and cautious now, including Li Yingai herself. Not to mention accepting someone else's commission to eavesdrop on a big shot, she is usually very vigilant about her belongings to avoid being caught by others. They unknowingly exchanged something, because it was clear that if something really happened, the big shot wouldn't care if they were innocent.
After changing clothes, we were taken to the restaurant for dinner.
The big man was not here, but other women had arrived. Li Yingai knew that the man had drawn some forbidden circles, and she was one of them, and there were many others.
I always like to put them together.
For example, there are Li Meishu, Li Yingjing, Song Yuner, and Shen Yinhe in the restaurant at this time.
Because of her status as a celebrity at this time, Li Yingai was reluctant to be with these women anymore. However, in this villa, there was no room for her to show off. No matter how high their status among Korean young artists were in China, with him, Apparently nothing.
The women in the restaurant also saw her and greeted each other politely. Li Yingai hesitated, walked to Li Yingjing and sat down.
I also discovered that based on the age and temperament of the women sitting here, are they going to play the role of royal sister today
Li Yingjing is the heroine of last year's "The Day a Pig Fell into a Well". She is a very elegant woman with short hair. If you look carefully, the lip line seems to be somewhat similar to hers. Li Yingai knows that men like her lips very much. This love is obviously the same. .
Moreover, the main reason why she stayed by her side was that Li Yingjing was the heroine of "Joint Security Area", another blockbuster film with an investment of tens of millions of dollars this year. She felt that she was on the same level as her, the same type.
After lunch, everyone prepared carefully. It was not until around two o'clock in the afternoon that Li Yingai asked about it and was told that the man was not here.
What else can be done
a.
He also joked with Li Yingjing that people like him were like resentful women in the boudoir.
But, of course, there are countless women in this circle who probably have no chance of becoming such a resentful woman.
Simon is located in the famous Walkerhill in Gwangjin-gu, Seongdong, Seoul.
This six-star hotel houses South Korea's largest Walkerhill Casino, which is run by the Tian Paradise family, one of the four largest gambling kings in Asia.
Simon is not free enough to come to Korea just to play with women. He plans to stay here for two days and his schedule is still full. Entering South Korea's gaming industry is the main purpose of this trip to Seoul.
