is just as netizens say that the Korean entertainment industry used to be music and now it is film and television. The speed of development is amazing. Why on earth?
1. Korean stars conquer Hollywood! In fact, there are a large number of Koreans in the United States. They either study abroad or their parents are in the United States or North America. They have received a good education in American pop culture. Although they are of Korean descent, they are proficient in European and American pop culture and apply what they have learned, making the Korean entertainment industry the most accepted subculture in Asia! For example, Wu Shanzhuo, a film and television actor who made her debut on the Oscars red carpet this year, is of Korean origin. She graduated from the Canadian National Drama School and has a good reputation in Hollywood.
She is the first Asian Golden Globe Award winner! With starring in the BBC thriller "Kill Eve", won the 76th American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a Drama Series, and the 24th Critics' Choice Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series , Nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series at the 25th American Screen Actors Guild Awards and the 71st American Television Emmy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
From 2005 to 2013, Shanzhuo Wu starred in the American drama "Grey Intern" for ten seasons. In this classic medical drama, the yellow-skinned Wu Shanzhuo plays Christina Young, who is Grey’s friend and role The complexity of her shows her acting skills that cannot be ignored. In fact, she has been nominated for the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for five consecutive years since 2005. It even appeared on the cover of Time Magazine!
Another example is the familiar Yoon Sung-sik, who is a second-generation Korean immigrant born in the United States. He has a rugged appearance and a strong build, which has changed his Asian image. Has been performing various villain roles on the big screen in Hollywood. At the beginning, he participated in the popular American drama "The Double Spy" in 2001, and his performance attracted attention.
In 2002, he starred in the twentieth 007 movie "Death Another Day", with a stunning appearance as a villain, his face full of diamonds is unforgettable. Later, he also performed wonderfully in blockbusters such as "X-Men Prequel: Wolverine", "Iron Fist", and "The Fall of Olympus". It can be said that they are very successful Korean stars who have entered Hollywood.
He also had a wonderful collaboration with Paul Walker in "Fast and Furious", which is also a classic that cannot be copied. It is a pity that Paul Walker has left us forever.
John Zhao is also a famous Korean American actor. John Zhao was born in Seoul, South Korea. When he was 6 years old, he immigrated to the United States with his family and settled in Los Angeles. John Cho Although not tall, he graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a high degree of education. Plus the beauty is invincible.
became popular with "American Pie". In 1999, he participated in the romantic comedy film "American Pie" starring Jason Biggs, Thomas Ian Nicholas and Chris Klein, and he appeared in succession. "American Pie 2", "American Pie 3", "American Pie 4", and have also participated in "Ugly Betty". Most of the roles played by John Zhao are comical. Although they are small, they are all funny. Very robbed.
In 2008, he was ranked 11th in the "World's Sexiest Man" by the American magazine "People" and became the only Asian actor on the list:
, but he is probably best known for starring in the science fiction adventure film "Star Trek" trilogy .
On the other hand, in addition to many Korean celebrities who brought Korean faces to the United States, Korea itself also attaches great importance to cultural output. As the four little dragons in Asia, due to its limited geographic area, South Korea itself regards the export of high-tech and cultural products as the foundation of the country. Korean Wave has been popular all over the world. In fact, everyone has noticed that when "Parasite" won the Oscar for Best Picture, it was not the director who gave the winning speech, but a Korean fluent in English, and her humorous language made the audience laugh. Li Meijing, the biggest hero behind the scenes who helped "Parasite" win the Oscar.
Who is Li Meijing? She is the famous vice chairman of CJ Group, in charge of the 4.1 billion US dollars entertainment empire. Without her strong public relations, "Parasite" would not have won the Oscar for Best Picture. Therefore, the success of "Parasite" is not only the success of Korean films, but the success of the entire Korean film industry to Hollywood! She is fluent in Korean, English, Chinese and Japanese. Once entered Harvard University to study for a master's program in Asian Studies, where she found she was good at introducing Korean culture to Korean American students who had integrated into Western culture.
She once said: My dream world is that people all over the world eat Korean food once a week, listen to Korean music frequently, and watch Korean movies twice a year. This 61-year-old South Korean woman still has a lot of background. Lee Mi Kyung is the granddaughter of the founder of Samsung Group. She is also the one who pushed Korean movies to Hollywood. She did. CJ has released more than 140 movies in the United States and more than 50 movies in other regions. CJ has a huge library of films, scripts and non-scripted IP resources. Even under her leadership, CJ Group invested heavily in DreamWorks.
In short, South Korea’s entertainment culture is really worth learning. It’s not constrained to take a long-term view. The international stage should be what everyone yearns for. Then again, does the domestic entertainment industry need to learn.
