The prosperous age of Korean entertainment

A place that is really used for learning, without any secular temptation.

Quite humanely, the entrance examination for the National History High School in Hoengseong, Gangwon-do was not arranged on a campus in a mountainous corner, but in Seoul.

Unlike Dayuan Foreign High School, even if you don’t apply for the preparatory course for studying in the United States called "International Program", the entrance exams for Minshi High School are all in English, and even the questions on the test paper except for Korean and Korean history are all Written in English, this point has always been considered a slot, but it can also be regarded as a confirmation of Min Shigao's nationally famous "English-Only Policy".

After a day of exams, Liu Jingshu felt that she wanted to die. It had been a long time since I felt like I was going to vomit in an exam—but you can actually do those questions when you see them, but you just need all kinds of troubles to get them. Will you not have the urge to throw your pen when you get the answer?

The last one was the exam of Seoul Science High School. Science, which was not the strongest subject in the first place, and the big night scene the night before, made Liu Jingshu basically in a state of mental coma during the exam. After the exam, he didn't have any hope. Hurry back to the crew and continue to catch up with the show.

Anyway, the two most important exams have passed, and the only thing left is to wait for the final result.

At the beginning of February 2011, a milestone film for Liu Jingshu, tentatively titled "Nobody, Somebody", was officially completed.

After the wrap-up banquet, Liu Jingshu didn't go back to the dormitory, but went directly to his home in Seoul.Because, no accident, in the past few days, the admission notices of various special purpose high schools will come down.

Probably due to the consideration of protecting the privacy of students, most schools do not use the information-based online publication of the admission list, but choose to send the notification letter by courier, that is to say, if you do not receive it before the registration starts. When the admission notice is issued, it means that you have failed.

After resting at home for a week, the notice that should have arrived has finally arrived.

Excluding Seoul Science High School and the Korean Foreigners School who probably disliked her poor English, Liu Jingshu received a total of four admission letters, including two of the top high schools in South Korea.The choice at this time was indeed a sweet worry for Liu Jingshu.

But she forgot that no matter what, she is a person with a company contract. As long as the contract is not terminated, she must consider the company's interests.

Leaving aside Seoul Performing Arts High School, which is impossible to attend if there is no accident, the remaining three schools are undoubtedly good schools, but both Daewon Foreign High School and Minshi High School are boarding schools.She herself has nothing to do with boarding or not. Anyway, she can't continue singing in the short term. If she wants to act and take a leave of school, but according to what An So Yeon said to her: "Even if you don't want to choose an art high school, There is no way the company will let you go to boarding high school."

No way, for an entertainment company that mainly promotes a group, it's always hard to find a good lead singer.Although Liu Jingshu's voice has not yet returned to its peak state, even though she has received a lot of vocal training in London, because of the voice change period, even she herself cannot guarantee whether her timbre and state can continue to be a singer in the future, but The trainee department still has high hopes for her, even though she has signed an actor contract, she doesn't want her to stop the trainee course.But if you want to ensure the normal development of trainee life and acting career at the same time, the only choice Liu Jingshu can choose is Ewha Girls Foreign Language High School.

Of course she was not reconciled.

She came for these two high schools!Otherwise, if it was just to go to an ordinary foreign language high school, why did she give up the practice completely and almost didn't shoot the movie before and study so hard?

It's okay to give up acting career now and go to high school, and it's not like their family can't afford the liquidated damages.However, there is such magic in this industry-from stage lighting to lighting, it is undoubtedly not as addictive as poppy.

To do this job, after all, you have to abandon some things as ordinary people.This is something she knew from the beginning of her career.But when such abandonment really came, she was still so sad that she wanted to cry.

So, is it necessary to give up the things that have been fought so hard?

On the one hand, she has worked so hard for her career for three years, and on the other hand, she has her studies as an ideal of life and personal dignity. Liu Jingshu feels that no matter which one she gives up, it will be a fatal blow to her.

After repeated discussions with his parents and negotiations with the company represented by An So-yeon, the final solution was to send a letter to Daewon Foreign Language High School to express Liu Jingshu. As for Minshigao in Gangwon-do, he had no choice but to give up. .

But if Dayuan Foreign Language High School could not agree to such a request, she could only settle for the next best thing and choose Ewha Girls Foreign Language High School.

Fortunately, Dayuan Foreign High School responded to SM Company and Liu Jingshu personally one week after receiving the letter, expressing that Liu Jingshu is allowed to not participate in evening self-study and dormitory life under the condition that Liu Jingshu guarantees her academic progress, and she can live as much as possible. She is allowed to perform performing arts during non-holiday periods.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Jingshu, who was practicing in the company at that time, finally showed his first smile this week, but tears came out of his smile, which shocked the juniors who were practicing together.

Such a long-term effort, a year of persistence, finally had the best result for her.

On March 2011, 3, the first day of Liu Jingshu's high school life officially began.

In the morning, when Liu Jingshu came to school in his father's car, he looked up at the row upon row of buildings on the campus, and suddenly felt a strange sense of belonging.I can still vividly remember the hard work of studying in Form Three, and now my dream has come true to come to this high school, and I will soon become her student. This feeling is as good as a dream.

What made her happy was that her close relative, Ren Zhaoxian, finally chose Dayuan Foreign High School, which was close to home, in the swing between the two schools. What was even more amazing was that because their second foreign students chose Japanese, they actually chose I was assigned to a class again!Liu Jingshu wished he could hug his friend and tearfully say, "This is ape dung~".

Unlike ordinary public high schools, private high schools like Foreign Language High School generally require students to pay high tuition and miscellaneous fees.Daewon Foreign High School is the only high school in South Korea that provides preparatory courses for studying in the United States. The tuition fee is naturally not low, reaching 200 million won (about 6.5 yuan) per year, which is close to 900 million (about 4.7 yuan) per year. million) for accommodation.

In short, this is a place that can be regarded as a "noble school".Correspondingly, the family conditions of the students are not bad.There are very few children like Ren Zhaoxian who come from a well-to-do family, and more children are in a similar situation to Liu Jingshu-the parents are not low-educated, the family background is superior, and the family education is good.

Maybe it's because of this, or maybe it's the accumulated experience of constantly communicating with various people through filming TV series for a long time. Both Liu Jingshu and her new classmates communicate well.But to her surprise, after introducing herself, no one recognized her, whether it was a boy or a girl.That’s right, it’s estimated that aunts who have nothing to do like TV series watch more.But this is also good, although she knows that if she does not go to evening self-study, her identity as a trainee will be exposed sooner or later, but she does not want to receive special treatment because of her status as an actor.

Going to a new school is always exciting. Brand-new school uniforms, a new environment, teachers with different styles and new classmates are all enough to become a source of excitement for a 15-year-old child.

After the first class meeting, the students in the class gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the issue that "every student must join a student association" mentioned by the class instructor just now.Club activities are one of the things that junior high school students look forward to most in high school life!

Facing this piece of paper full of student club directories, Liu Jingshu was distressed.

The student union is the first to pass, don't even think about it, she may not be able to go to class all night and have to be absent, how can she take time to participate in the busiest student union

Sports club?She is not a "sportsman" like Choi Minho, and she is not in a good mood to sweat everywhere.

Seeing that there was no clue, Liu Jingshu simply looked at Ren Zhaoxian next to him. "I plan to apply for the drama club." My friend was chatting with another classmate Huang Jinhui I met just now, "I thought acting in drama was fun when I was in junior high school."

"Drama club?" Liu Jingshu shook his head instinctively. Haven't you acted enough? As for going to school, do you still come to act?Seeing her shaking her head, Ren Zhaoxian understood, while Huang Jinhui on the other side saw her hesitating, so she was very interested in trying to persuade Liu Jingshu to join her in the English debate club—the English debate at Dayuan Foreign High School is the best in the country—she encouraged.

Liu Jingshu knew from the previous chats that Huang Jinhui's goal of going to Dayuan Foreign High School is to participate in Dayuan's "Global Leadership Program" and then get admitted to an Ivy League university in the United States. It is no wonder that she is interested in English debates.But, she, Liu Jingshu, doesn't need to go to an American university, what she needs is a club that doesn't take up so much time!

She is naturally interested in clubs such as English Debate and Model United Nations, but her interest is her interest, and her schedule does not allow her to spend too much time in club activities.For her, being able to go to this school is already very grateful, how can she ask for more?To do this line of work is impossible without a little sacrifice.
