Brilliant Life in the Entertainment Circle

It's not easy to start over.For three whole months, Song Ya was on the way to deliver her resume.Hollywood is like this, only if the casting director values ​​you, you will have the opportunity to audition.If you don't pass the resume, you can't even talk about the audition.Although Song Ya won a TV queen in South Korea, there are not many opportunities to appear in movies. Only "Kind Gold" is still available, but Song Ya's appearance time in that movie is less than 10 minutes.

At the beginning of December, Song Ya finally landed a role in the American drama "Gossip Girl". To put it bluntly, she acted as a background for a big party.Originally Song Ya didn't want to go, but the boss Eddington said: "You have been in the United States for so long, you must let me see your strength?"

That's right, Song Ya herself feels that her acting skills are rusty if she doesn't act for three months.

Soon, Christmas came.

"When will you return to Korea?" One day, Kim Xichul called to greet him.

"I won't go back this year."

"What about the Spring Festival? We must come back that day, right?"

Song Ya sighed: "If I don't go back, I will stay in Hollywood this year and next year. The main reason is that the air tickets are too expensive, so it's not worthwhile to go back and forth."

Seemingly hearing the unspeakable helplessness and sadness in Song Ya's tone, Jin Xichul was silent for a few seconds before saying: "If you can't make it through, come back. There's been a lot less sex about you recently. You know, for Help you, Jae Chung and Yunho are working hard every day to create scandals."

"Come on!" Song Ya laughed, "Is that for me?"

"Isn't it?" Jin Xiche also smiled, and after a brief silence, he asked: "Yami, after all these years, I have always wanted to ask you a question."

"Ask." In fact, Song Ya guessed what Jin Xiche wanted to ask.

Sure enough, Jin Xichul said: "Can't you really see Jaejong... Jaejong's heart?" At first, Jin Xichul only thought that Song Ya was crazy, but after so many years, Even Kyuhyun who just joined SJ said: "Brother Jong likes Yami-san very much, right?" What's more, they are the people who grew up together. "Yami, when your accident happened, Zaizhong couldn't come back in Japan, but he called me almost every day to find out the situation. He didn't dare to call you because he was afraid that you would think too much and that his manager would find out. , At that time, the top management of the company gave them a gag order, preventing them from contacting you, and not allowing them to mention you in public, and it is still the same until now.”

"I know all that." Song Ya said, "There is nothing wrong with the company's actions, right?"

"That's right, there is nothing wrong with the company's actions." It has been almost two years since his debut, and Kim Xichul is very clear about what the entertainment industry is like. Sometimes speaking out of justice cannot resolve conflicts. On the contrary, it may intensify conflicts and cause irreparable losses. "However, there are things you don't know."

"I don't know what?" Song Ya asked.

"At the beginning, did you call Zai Zhong?"

"Yes."

"You always thought that Jaejong was angry?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not." Kim Xichul said firmly, "Jaejong can't be angry with you if he is angry with anyone. He returned to Korea last month and told me only after he was drunk. Can stand in front of the media and say, yes, I was in love with Song Yamei. Don’t embarrass her, embarrass me if you have the ability! But, he doesn’t have the confidence, his fate is in the hands of the company, no more TVXQ, without the support of the company, he is nothing, so Jaejong is very sad, he even told me—” Xi Che suddenly lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard, “I don’t know if he drank too much. Chung even told me that when his wings harden one day, the first thing he will do is to leave S/M."

Song Ya's heart "thumped", thinking that Kim Jae Jong not only drank too much, he must have had the guts of ambition, even if he really thought so in his heart, he must never tell others.If it fell into Jin Yingmin's ears, wouldn't it be "telling the truth after drinking"?Fortunately, Jin Xiche said that there was no one else at the table except Han Geng.

"Xi Che, although Jae Chung made his debut early, he is still a child in my heart. I would like to ask you to remind him not to be stupid all the time. Also, small wine is good for you and big wine is harmful to your body. You should drink less Bar."

"Is Zhong Zhong stupid?" Xi Che laughed, implying, "Don't you understand that he will become a big fool only when he encounters something about you."

************

It snowed heavily in Los Angeles on Christmas Day.Because the heating in the apartment was broken a few days ago, and because Song Ya was waiting for the interview time on the freezing street, Song Ya was unfortunately caught by the flu and developed a low-grade fever. Films to audition for.

"The shops are closed." Li Xinyan took off her hat and shook off the snowflakes on it, "Damn it, this room is still terribly cold, Yami, are you cold? If it's cold, put another quilt on it."

"It's okay." Song Ya closed her eyes.There are enough quilts on her body, any more will suffocate her.

"Has the fever gone?" Li Xinyan hurried over after changing her clothes and covered Song Ya's forehead with her hands.Then he frowned, "It seems to be a little hot, so, you can try the thermometer first, and I will cook for you first." Then he turned and walked towards the kitchen: "You don't know, the shops on the street are closed , I guess we will have the instant noodles that Xi Che sent the day before yesterday for our Christmas dinner."

"I want the kimchi flavor, thank you." Song Ya said with a smile, and then stuffed the thermometer into her mouth.

"Add eggs?" Li Xinyan stuck her head out from the kitchen.

"Yeah!" Song Ya nodded repeatedly with the thermometer in her mouth.At this moment, Song Ya's cell phone rang, thinking it was a call for an audition, she answered it without even looking.

"Hello, I'm Yaa." She spoke English, the other party was silent for a second before laughing, and said in English, "Hello, Yaa, I'm Zhao Yincheng."

ah!Song Yateng sat up from the bed, holding the thermometer in one hand and the phone in the other. "Yin Cheng Ouba? Is it really you?" Looking at the phone number, it is a local in Los Angeles, isn't it, is he here? "God! Are you coming to Los Angeles?"

"Yes." Judging from the voice, Zhao Yincheng should be outdoors, in the cold weather, his articulation is slightly disadvantaged, his speech is trembling, his upper teeth are knocked down. "God, why is this place so cold, it's even colder than Seoul, and all the shops are closed, yaa, where do you live? Do you mind if I go to your place for lunch?"

Song Ya finished eating a pack of instant noodles and Zhao Yincheng came late.In very cold weather, he wore a black woolen coat without a hat, and his neat short hair was covered with white snowflakes. Song Ya opened the door and smiled: "Ouba seems to have just walked out of the refrigerator." .”

Zhao Yincheng also laughed, and rubbed her hair with his hands: "Little girl, you have lost weight after not seeing you for a few months." The moment he withdrew his hand, he hurriedly reached out again, covered Song Ya's forehead for a while, then frowned and asked: " You have a fever?"

"It's just a low fever." Song Ya smiled and welcomed Zhao Yincheng in, "It's cold in the room, Ouba don't take off your clothes."

The temperature in the room is quite low.Zhao Yincheng looked around and asked, "Is the heater broken?"

At this time, Li Xinyan came out with freshly cooked noodles and complained: "It's been broken for several days. I asked the management staff, but no one responded at all."

Song Ya said: "Isn't it almost Christmas? They are all anxious to go home for the holidays or to buy gifts, and they don't have the heart to work at all."

"But this is their job, you can't just leave it alone!" Zhao Yincheng frowned.The main reason is that Song Ya, who is suffering from a low fever, feels distressed, "If it doesn't work, go to court and see if they are afraid."

"They're not afraid." Song Ya took a sip of hot water, "This place is close to Hollywood, you don't want to live here, some people are rushing to live here, you can go if you can't stand it. Besides, we are foreigners, and we live in the United States. Lawsuits are difficult, not to mention whether you can win or not, even the legal fees and time you can’t afford.”

"I'll pay you the legal fees." Zhao Yincheng said suddenly after taking a bite of noodles.Koreans have always been rigorous and conscientious in their work, and they are stubborn to death in their bones. They look down on such idle and irresponsible people. If it is in South Korea, this is something that can be sued. "Don't be afraid, they consume a lot of energy. We can afford it too.”

Hearing him say "we", Li Xinyan froze for a moment, then shifted her flickering eyes to Song Ya.

"Thank you, Yincheng Ouba, but I don't want to go to court." Song Ya said, "Hurry up and eat, it won't taste good after a while."

But where can Zhao Yincheng eat?Frowning and thinking for a moment, he turned his head and asked Li Xinyan: "Is anyone in the property going to work today?"

"It seems to be there. When I came back just now, I saw two people watching "Friends" inside."

"OK!" Zhao Yincheng wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up and said, "Yamei, you wait here, I'll be back in a while, Xinyan, please take me to the property."

"No need..." Song Ya hurriedly stood up to stop her.

However, Zhao Yincheng's expression sank: "Don't worry about this matter, just sit here quietly for me, or go to lie on the bed and rest, understand?"

Song Ya froze there, it was the first time she saw Zhao Yincheng lose his temper after knowing him for so long.At this time, Li Xinyan came over, patted Song Ya on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, miss, you can have a good rest. Mr. Zhao Yincheng, thank you, I will take you there."

After walking for 10 minutes, Zhao Yincheng and the others came back. Song Ya originally wanted to say, "Is it for nothing?" But she was surprised to find that the two white men who usually ignored her like uncles were here. He obediently followed Zhao Yincheng into the room, carrying a large and small toolbox from time to time.

"This room is really too cold." Zhao Yincheng made a trembling look, with an unusually charming smile, "I know today is Christmas, so I didn't want to bother you, but it's really too cold, you see, my sister has a fever. "

Hearing that Song Ya is the younger sister, the fatter one of the two men immediately smiled, and flatteringly looked at Zhao Yincheng who was almost drooling: "Oh, yes, my dear, this place is indeed too cold, don't worry , we'll fix it right away. Rick, hurry to the kitchen, maybe there's something wrong with the plumbing."

"OK!" The white young man named Rick responded repeatedly, and when he walked past Zhao Yincheng, a big pale hand patted Zhao Yincheng's buttocks as if nothing. "Honey, leave it to me and you can rest assured."

Zhao Yincheng was busy in the kitchen with two white people, and from time to time, the ecstatic laughter of the white people came from inside.Song Ya was quite worried, and while listening to Li Xinyan's introduction of how Zhao Yincheng made two white men bow their heads in a few seconds, she looked into the kitchen.

"Yincheng Ouba is really amazing." Li Xinyan said adoringly with a blushing face, "I killed those two white men with just one look. Without saying a word, he ran over with a toolbox..."

"They won't plot against him, will they?" Song Ya asked worriedly.Even if she is a fool, she also understands why those two white men didn't like her before, but they looked at the handsome and noble Zhao Yincheng differently.In fact, white people are also quite rude, Song Ya is very afraid that Zhao Yincheng will suffer.

It was hot in the kitchen.Zhao Yincheng took a cup of hot coffee and walked out gracefully.Raising eyebrows at Song Ya, she said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not a big problem, it can be fixed in a while."

"Thank you..." Song Ya muttered, she paused for a moment before pointing to the kitchen and asked worriedly: "They...I mean, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

"No." Zhao Yincheng smiled, "Why, afraid that they will play 3/p with me?"

"No." Song Ya blushed, "I'm afraid you will suffer."

"Disadvantaged?" Zhao Yincheng chuckled, "You underestimate me too much. If you really play, who will suffer? However, I don't have that kind of hobby for now, and I should like women now."

His gaze was so focused that Song Ya didn't dare to look directly at him. "Just know it yourself." She whispered, "Let your agent pick you up when you leave later. I'm afraid they will follow you. There is no one on duty in the police station this Christmas."

"Are you worried about me, Yami?" He asked in a low voice, still looking at her persistently.

"Well...a little bit." She nodded with a smile.

"Just a little?" He took a sip of his coffee and shook his head in disappointment: "Your words are really bitterer than coffee."

The heating pipes were quickly repaired.It wasn't a big deal, they just didn't care about it.The two white men washed their hands and came out of the kitchen. The white young man named Rick blinked his blue eyes and said to Zhao Yincheng: "How is Chicago, dear?"

"Very good." Zhao Yincheng said.

"Oh yes, you're going to love it here. Is it an actor?" Rick asked.His eyes were fixed on Zhao Yincheng.

"No."

"Oh, what a pity, it's absolutely fine to make your way in Hollywood with your body and appearance." Rick said disappointedly.

"Really?" Zhao Yincheng's expression was still calm, he raised his eyebrows lightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm not interested in acting in movies, I'd better be an ordinary person, but I love what you said just now, so thank you. "

Under Zhao Yincheng's "affectionate" gaze, Rick's face turned red all of a sudden.Shaking the golden hair: "Don't say that, my dear, you are already very good. If today is not Christmas, if it is not snowing heavily, if you walk out of the apartment door now, there will definitely be scouts looking for you."

In fact, from the moment Zhao Yincheng stepped foot in Los Angeles, people who looked like scouts approached him non-stop.Zhao Yincheng didn't tell Song Ya the truth. In fact, this time he came to Los Angeles not for work, but just to see her, so he didn't bring any staff.Zhao Yincheng was glad that he was here, otherwise Song Ya's Christmas would have been so cold.

But for now, let's drive away these two greasy and crooked white men.

"Honey, you must call me when you come to Los Angeles when you have time." Before going out, Rick looked at Zhao Yincheng enthusiastically.

"We invite you to dinner. You can also stay at my house." The fat white man winked his eyes.

Although Zhao Yincheng was about to throw up, he was still a gentleman on the surface. "Okay, thank you for today. If time permits, I should really treat you to a meal." Pretentiously glanced at the watch, frowned and said apologetically, "But I'm sorry, I'm going to fly back to Korea in a while, next time Well, I will definitely look for you when I come to Los Angeles."

The two white men finally left.Chief Zhao Yincheng breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned his head, he saw Song Ya and Li Xinyan hugging each other and laughing.

"Is it funny?" He raised his arms and looked angry, but when he saw the carefree smile of a child flashing on Song Ya's face, he couldn't help being happy. "Okay, okay." He shook his head helplessly, "I'm a little hungry after all the trouble just now, go and cook some instant noodles for me."

"Okay." This time, Song Ya stood up first, signaling Li Xinyan to let her cook this time. "What flavor does Oppa want to eat?"

"What did you eat just now?"

"Kimchi flavor."

"Well, then I am also it."

Zhao Yincheng did not lie, he was indeed going to fly back to Korea in the afternoon.Song Ya was going to drive him to the airport, but was stopped by Zhao Yincheng. "You should rest well at home and get enough energy to attend the audition in three days' time."

Song Ya smiled wryly: "It's useless to have enough energy, there are too few roles that require Asian actors to appear in the scene."

"Then go back." He looked at her distressedly.

She shook her head: "No, I want to stick to it for a year."

"Sometimes being too stubborn is not a good thing." He persuaded.

She nodded and retorted softly: "But it's not a good thing to give up easily."

He laughed, looked down at her for a while, and then stepped forward to kiss her slightly hot forehead: "Merry Christmas, Yami, I will come to see you again when I have time."

Song Ya panicked for a moment, and when she recovered, Zhao Yincheng had already put on a scarf and closed the door.Li Xinyan ran out to see him off, but he also refused. "Go back, Xinyan, take good care of Yami and yourself."

"Yes, Yincheng Ouba, if you have time, you must come to Los Angeles to see Yami often." Li Xinyan asked.

In the corridor, Zhao Yincheng didn't speak, but nodded with a smile.

"So, does he like you?" After Zhao Yincheng left, Li Xinyan paced back and forth in the room thinking about this question repeatedly.

At night, the room is much warmer. Song Ya can sleep peacefully lying on the bed with only a quilt covered. The street lights are on, and there are fireworks in the distance. At that time, Zhao Yincheng should still be sitting on the plane. "It's really hard work." Song Ya said to the sky lit up by the snow scene outside the window.

"Yami, are you asleep? Did you hear me? Does Zhao Yincheng Oppa like you?" Li Xinyan poked her head and asked.

Song Ya quickly closed her eyes, showed her skills as an actor, and said "Woooooooooooooooooo", pretending that she didn't hear anything.In fact, she was quite confused in her heart. Ever since she met Zhao Yincheng, he felt close to her, so she didn't dare to think about it, not to mention that she had just experienced a breakup, and she didn't want to enter the next relationship so soon, and even if she wanted to talk In love, she would not choose Zhao Yincheng. As for the reason, Song Ya couldn't tell, such a man is too difficult to grasp, right?

What's more, does he really like women?

***********

Three days later, Song Ya still had no results in the interview.It's almost New Year's Eve.On the eve of the new year, Song Ya ran to two production crews. Before leaving, the other party said bluntly, "Thank you for coming to the interview, but we don't need actors with your image in this movie, I'm sorry."

Returning to the nanny's car dejectedly, Li Xinyan was answering the phone: "OK, OK, we'll go there now."

"what's up?"

"The brokerage company called and said that a crew called 21 o'clock might need Asian actors, and asked you to try it."

"Don't you need to read your resume?"

"It's probably too late to send out your resume, so I'll take you there." Li Xinyan started the car, "It's not good to hear the name, I guess we have to make another trip for nothing."

"Who is the director?" Song Ya asked.

"I don't know, the brokerage company didn't say anything."

"Oh." Song Ya sighed helplessly, the recent audition was still not going well, and the broken snow scene outside the window made her a little disheartened.

It was almost evening when Song Ya arrived at the audition location.

It is a studio, the front desk lady is busy with a pile of documents, holding the phone in her left hand, and quickly recording something on a white paper with her right hand: "Well, okay, I will tell Mr. Luketic in time, oh, no no , All the roles have not been decided yet, if you want to audition, please make an appointment two days in advance."

reserve? !Song Ya and Li Xinyan frowned at the same time.

"Don't you have an appointment?" Sure enough, the receptionist hung up the phone and asked Song Ya in a business-like manner.

"I'm sorry, we..." Li Xinyan tried to explain, but the receptionist raised her right hand to make a "stop" gesture, blinked her pale gray eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Luketic can't See you, please go back, thank you."

Of course, Li Xinyan didn't want to make another trip. The audition success rate was low. If she made another trip, it would mean a waste of gasoline. Gasoline is very expensive now, and Li Xinyan wanted to add water to it. "I'm sorry, we also ran over after receiving a call from the brokerage company. Please see that we live far away, so we can make room for it?"

Although the overall temperament of the Americans is relatively carefree, they have always been very strict when it comes to work, especially work that puts a burden on themselves. "No, my dear, please go back. I'm doing things according to the regulations, and I can't see Mr. Luketic without an appointment."

"Please open the net."

"Ma'am, if you do this again, I will call the police."

The voices of the two people talking were a bit loud, which alarmed the people upstairs. A man walked down the stairs quickly. He was wearing a black leather jacket, with slightly curly brown hair, a three-dimensional face, and sharp eyes. When he saw Song Ya's I was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Japanese?"

"No, I'm from Korea."

"Oh!" The man snapped his fingers, "You are yaa? Eddington introduced you?"

Song Ya nodded: "Yes, my boss is Mr. Eddington."

"Oh, my God! I thought you wouldn't come." The man smiled, walked down the stairs and extended his hand to Song Ya friendly, "Hello, I'm Robert Luketic, the director of this movie. Nice to meet you."

Robert Luketic?

ah!Song Ya remembered, it was him, no wonder he looked familiar. Robert Luketic, director of Legally Blonde.
