Chapter 1017: Sunshine in March

For lunch, Zhang Pingan, Li Zhien, and Hunter gathered to dine at the Chinese restaurant ‘Yu Garden’ in the Four Seasons Hotel. This is a restaurant that specializes in Cantonese cuisine and also operates Yanjing roast duck. It is the only Chinese restaurant in South Korea to be listed on the Michelin list. After tasting the ‘Eight Immortals’ of the Shilla Hotel many times, Zhang Ping’an finally found a restaurant that was comparable to the Eight Immortals Restaurant.

At noon, the three of them ordered the roast duck set meal, which was paired with Cantonese dim sum. Li Zhien ate with great joy. Although Din Tai Fung also has a store in Seoul, it is located in Myeongdong Pedestrian Street, which is the most visited area. And it is impossible for Li Zhien to go to Myeongdong. Even if there are no Chinese tourists there, there are tourists from all over the world going to Myeongdong for sightseeing. For Li Zhien, it is best not to go to crowded places.

Li Zhien picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it into her mouth with a happy smile. The whole shrimp exploded in her mouth. She smiled with satisfaction and nodded her head one after another and uttered exclamations about the delicious food: "Hmm~~It's delicious." When I went to Taiwan at the beginning of the year, I regretted not being late for shrimp dumplings. Today, I fulfilled my wish. As a Chinese, what do you think of their taste here?”

Zhang Ping'an also praised the Cantonese dim sum made at Yuyuan Restaurant and said: "The dim sum they serve is really very good. Not bad, not bad. I will try more dishes next time. I want to order them all these days." Had dinner at his house.”

It is really authentic Cantonese food and one of the rare Chinese food in Seoul.

Li Zhien smiled and said, "Are you still eating here tonight?"

Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile: "Well, let's try other dishes tonight. We just ordered some dim sum for now... Well, the roasted black truffle seedlings are good, you try it. Hunter, you also try it." "

There are some black truffles mixed in the inside of this siomai, and there is a freshly cut black truffle slice on the top of the siomai. The aroma of this siomai is very special. The ordinary meat siomai in dim sum has a completely different taste.

After Hunter took a bite of the shaomai, he said, "Isn't this delicious? It tastes so fragrant."

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "Well, this restaurant is really worth recommending."

After Zhang Pingan said these words, Hunter said to Zhang Pingan: "PD Zhang, I asked the assistant to go back and rest today."

Everyone knows what the so-called 'rest' is. It sounds like a rest. As for when she will be able to resume work, it is unknown. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that she can find other jobs.

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "What era is it now? There are still people with such strange ideas. Didn't she go to China with you? Hasn't she seen the development of China?"

Hunter immediately said with a smile: "The development of China in recent years has been watched by the whole world. It is true that she has not visited China with us and has not seen the prosperity there. It is also possible that she was Have you been fooled by Internet brainwashing?”

"Forget it, it's really boring if we don't talk about this. Let's talk about shooting, shall we? You guys first find some B&Bs or restaurants. Because their layout is very suitable for shooting, I personally recommend B&Bs, after all, the decoration The style of B&Bs also has a sense of style and freshness that matches the Korean house. Check out a few more B&Bs, especially when choosing a B&B, you must make an on-the-spot investigation because the photos give a sense of depth and you can actually see them. The depth is different. The room looked very big in the photo, but after we walked over, we found that we couldn’t even place the camera.”

Hunter nodded and said: "I understand, we will go on-site inspection after selecting them. PD Zhang, when will you be free to shoot?"

Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile: "I'm free recently. After you contact the venue, take a day with good weather to shoot.

In fact, I can do these shots that don’t require too many scene changes in one day. "

Hunter nodded and said: "Okay, let's find a venue as soon as possible. Because we plan to release Zhien's prelude in mid-March. No, it will be March soon."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Well, you make arrangements as soon as possible. Whenever you find a venue, I can do it. Oh, I am going to Jeju Island in the next two days to sign a contract with senior Lee Hyori. When the time comes, I will go there Look for something suitable. As for you, it’s best to look for it in Jeonju, where there are the most Korean houses.”

Hunter nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow Mei Mei and I will go to Quanzhou in person."

.......

Before we knew it, it was early March, the sun became more abundant during this season, and the temperature gradually became warmer. Taeyeon's regular album was officially released at the end of last month. The title song "Fine" composed for Taeyeon by Zhang Pingan instantly topped the music download list in South Korea.

"The collaboration between Zhang Pingan and Taeyeon is still so great."

"The biggest contributor to Taeyeon's solo has always had nothing to do with S.M? Is Zhang Ping'an the biggest supporter of Taeyeon?"

"No wonder, Taeyeon and Oni want to thank Zhang Pingan when we get the trophy!"

"Whether it was "I" at the beginning, "Rain" later, or now "Fine", Zhang Pingan used his best lyrical method to help Taeyeon develop her solo way."

"If you say there is no emotional entanglement between Zhang Pingan and Taeyeon, I will never believe it. Dear netizens, have you found the Easter eggs in the MV? The Polaroid photos in the MV are at 2 minutes and 17 seconds and 2 minutes and 31 seconds. The man in the Polaroid photos is not the male lead of the MV, but Zhang Pingan!!" (PS: Purely fabricated, the picture in the MV is the male lead.)

"Wow, it's really Zhang Pingan. In the fleeting picture, you actually caught that the man in the photo is Zhang Pingan? Are you watching it frame by frame?"

"Hahaha! Has Taeyeon's MV started making Easter eggs? The first time it was Taeyeon's brother, this time it was Zhang Pingan? "

"What is there to discuss? Fans know about the things between Zhang Pingan and Taeyeon, why expose it?"

"Is the person above stupid? What is the things between Taeyeon and Zhang Pingan? He frequently appeared in LOEN some time ago, and I got some inside information. Zhang Pingan filmed the "MV" of Li Zhien this time."

"Are you sure this is the so-called inside information? Li Zhien posted photos of Zhang Pingan on the set on INS."

.......

In early March, he originally planned to go to Tokyo, but he stayed in Jeju Island for two days. Mainly to discuss the details of the program shooting with Lee Hyori and her husband. Rather than saying details, it is better to say that they discussed the maximum range allowed for shooting.

Because they need to operate a homestay in the program, to what extent do they need to do it? So Zhang Pingan took Lee Hyori and her husband to experience in person what the real Jeju Island homestay should be like.

After he returned to Seoul, he originally planned to shoot Lee Ji-eun's MV, but it rained for several days in a row. The continuous spring rain made Zhang Pingan temporarily stop his steps to Tokyo. Because he had not completed the shooting of Lee Ji-eun, he could not go anywhere.

It was not until the sunny March that Zhang Pingan drove his "Ferrari GT" for the first time to take a long-distance trip after the sun finally appeared. Does it really meet the long-distance travel represented by "GT"?

It takes nearly two hours to drive on the highway from Seoul to Sokcho on the east coast. Overall, the comfort of this Ferrari is really good. But the highways in Asia are not Germany. Even if it can run very fast, it still cannot exceed the speed limit on the highway. Cruising at the standard speed, this car is definitely the most suitable Ferrari for long-distance travel.

Of course, it is unfair to compare it with a sedan. Because it is defined as a GT sports car, it has more comfort than a pure sports car, but this comfort cannot reach the level of top sedans.

When he came to the Korean house guesthouse where the shooting was done, Zhang Pingan and the lighting technicians on the scene began to cooperate. Because Lee Ji-eun's "Night Letter" is originally a very gentle song, and Lee Ji-eun's singing also has a light feeling. Just like a whisper in the ear, it makes people feel that she is telling a romantic love story.

So Zhang Pingan put the main shooting part in the evening after the sun sets. During the day, Zhang Pingan mainly captures some gentle natural pictures of Lee Ji-eun. There is no need for deliberate interpretation, just her sitting there quietly. Zhang Pingan's shooting is also very artistic, because he does not have to shoot Lee Ji-eun's front, perhaps a smiling face from the side, or even a back view, or even Lee Ji-eun's distant view...

Of course, Zhang Pingan is very good at natural shooting, and he also has reference objects that he has "seen before". So it is really easy to shoot, and it is handy. In addition to Lee Ji-eun, there are bricks and tiles here, or flowers and plants, and even the gentle little dynamics of water drops dripping into the waterscape tank are recorded.

Although the unedited images look messy, every image played to Lee Ji-eun and her team felt the sense of tranquility that Zhang Pingan wanted to express.

Lee Ji-eun went from long red hair in the morning to transparent makeup and comfortable home clothes in the evening. A short-sleeved shirt and a sweater. Lee Ji-eun sat on the floor, leaning against the side cabinet and began to sing this song "Night Letter" in the old-fashioned tape recorder.

The soft light in the room matched Lee Ji-eun's soft singing. This song really made everyone present feel the softness.

After recording three times, the sky outside was dark, and fireflies, which are very rare in the city, also appeared to add color to Lee Ji-eun's MV. Zhang Pingan specially asked the staff to catch one and put it in the room to cooperate with Lee Ji-eun's performance.

The song ended, and Lee Ji-eun was caught by the stylist again to put on red makeup and shoot the last red dress scene.. Lee Ji-eun's "MV" shooting has been continued for 16 hours at this time! !
