Brilliant Life in the Entertainment Circle

Feng Junhao came to Hong Kong this time to ask Song Ya for help.

"Just tell me directly why you came to me." In the cafe, Song Ya couldn't stand seeing Feng Junhao always talking about him, she rolled her eyes and said in disgust. "You didn't come to ask me to make a movie anyway, did you?"

Seeing that Song Ya is so smart, Feng Junhao felt embarrassed instead.Although he is already the most prestigious director among the younger generation of Korean directors, Bong Joon-ho, born in 1969, is sometimes as shy as a high school student.He pointed to the expensive tiramisu in front of him, and said to Song Ya: "Eat this cake first, and then I will tell you."

"Don't tell me, you don't get paid for nothing, you should first tell me why you came to Hong Kong." According to Song Ya's knowledge, Feng Junhao should be planning to make a new movie.I don't know the name, the plot, or the outside world. I only know that the leading actor is Yuan Bin who has just finished his military service.

Unlike most Korean directors, Bong Joon-ho's films usually don't focus on love.The protagonist of his debut novel "Kidnapping the Door Dog" is a dog, and the second novel "Memory of Murder" is adapted from a real serial murder case. This film won him numerous awards and established his status as the most watched director of the new generation in Korea , followed by the 06 sci-fi masterpiece "Han River Monster", which not only broke the record for the number of movie viewers in Korea, but also won him the best director of the Grand Bell Award.

Before, in an interview with the media, some reporters asked why Bong Joon-ho didn’t make some romance films. As a result, Bong smiled foolishly, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn’t say a word: “Although I am not young, I really don’t understand love. ah!"

"Haven't you talked about it before?" In fact, the reporter wanted to know whether Director Bong was a virgin or not.

"I have talked about it, but I don't understand what women are thinking. I think that only when I understand women can I understand love. However, compared with women, I still feel more relaxed and comfortable with men."

So, Bong Joon Ho likes men!

This is the unified conclusion drawn by the media after the 06 Grand Bell Awards interview.Song Ya also read the report at the time, thinking that the media can really tell nonsense, the artist doesn't tell the truth, they think the artist is not sincere, but as soon as he told the truth, they were blasted to pieces.Tsk tsk tsk, Song Ya really feels sorry for Feng Dao.

However, after that highly misinterpreted interview, Director Bong became much more cautious. When faced with the same problem again, he only said that movies should be diversified. As a director, he just wanted to express what he thought was important. emotions and events.After all, apart from love, there should be other things worthy of our attention.

Oh the media get it, Bong Joon Ho turns out to be a sexual/frigid one.

When Song Ya ate half of the tiramisu, Feng Junhao finally said: "Yami, I am preparing to shoot a movie, and I want to ask you to help me to hire an actor."

"Me?" Song Ya was surprised, it's quite simple to ask someone to make a movie with Feng Junhao's current status in the movie industry. Could it be that there are still people who don't like him?

"Yes, you, or rather, your mother, Ms. Song Shunen." Feng Junhao clicked on the topic.

sky!Song Ya quickly put down the fork, "Director Feng, you don't want to ask my mother to make a movie, do you?"

"I thought about that before." Director Feng admitted with a nod, "But after thinking about it seriously, I think there is another person who is more suitable than your mother."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Your mother's friend, Ms. Kim Hye-ja."

After listening to Feng Junhao's general explanation of the movie's plot, Song Ya immediately said that she would definitely help him hire Ms. Jin Huizi as the heroine.

"When are we leaving, tomorrow?" Song Ya couldn't wait to match up with Director Feng.This is a good movie!Although I haven't seen the complete script yet, from Feng Junhao's narration, Song Ya believes in her own judgment.At present, everything is ready, except for the most important heroine.

"Of course, the sooner the better." Seeing that Song Ya agreed quite happily, Director Feng was glad that he didn't find the wrong person.He took out two air tickets from his pocket, and acted like a prophet and said to Song Ya: "I knew you would agree. Look, I have booked the air tickets. See you at the airport at seven o'clock tomorrow morning!"

What!seven in the morning? !Song Ya was dizzy, it didn't feel good to eat an airplane meal early in the morning.

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

Song Ya was lucky enough to finish reading the script of "Mother" while sitting on the plane the next day.As expected, this is indeed a shockingly good script——

The story of an ordinary mother fighting alone to help her mentally retarded son get rid of the murder charge.The depressing atmosphere and unexpected ending are really Bong Joon Ho's consistent style of movies.

"After watching "Late Autumn" when I was in college, I thought, if I make a movie in the future, I must find Kim Hye-ja as the heroine. I like her eyes, which remind me of my mother. As the media described, Her deep eyes are like black grapes, very beautiful." On the plane, Feng Junhao recalled the past, and as the plane shuttled through the clouds, his life seemed to return to that period of green years,

Kim Hye-ja, born in 1941, has starred in Korean dramas since the 70s and has won many awards. The most recent role was in the TV series "Palace" launched by MBC in 06, playing the graceful but childish queen mother.Although she debuted for many years, there are only two movies starring Kim Hye-ja, except for "Late Autumn" mentioned by Bong Joon-ho just now, and the other one is "Mayonnaise" in 1999.

Although Jin Huizi is a friend of her mother, Song Ya is not familiar with her. She only met once when her mother celebrated her birthday last year. However, because she had to fly back to the United States that day, Song Ya and Jin Huizi had only a few exchanges. However, Jin Huizi's amiable smile still left a very deep impression on Song Ya.

I remember that before leaving the house, Jin Huizi said to Song Ya: "Yami, I like watching your drama very much, let's cooperate once when we have time."

In 2007, Kim Hye-ja was 66 years old. For an actress, it is very rare to meet a role that suits her at this age.It seems that besides acting as a mother, she can only be a grandma or grandma.However, the possibility of being brilliant is even lower. After all, this is a world where young people dominate consumption, and everyone is more willing to see handsome men and beautiful women flirting with each other on the screen.

Therefore, Song Ya used the "rare" point as a breakthrough to try to persuade Jin Huizi.

Of course, in the face of an old drama, you can't use "role" to overwhelm her, and you can't give her a feeling of "you are lucky to have such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Kim Hye-ja is very sensitive, and this is Song Ya's Mom Song Shunen said it herself.As a good friend, Song Shunen's idea to Song Ya is: only talk about the value of the role until she is touched.

As expected, one of the veterans is worth two.Song Ya only went to Jin Huizi's house once, and Jin Huizi seemed to be persuaded.Before Feng Junhao ran four or five times, he didn't get any substantial progress. Instead, he annoyed the old man enough.Although Kim Hye-ja did not agree to appear in the film at the end of the first day of the visit, Bong Joon-ho saw hope in his hesitant eyes.

"Yami, thank you." Bong Junho couldn't hide his excitement as soon as he walked out of Jin Huizi's house.

"Don't thank me first, everything is not settled yet. I heard from my mother that Ms. Jin Huizi is very fickle. It seems to be a show today, and maybe it will be nothing tonight."

However, Song Ya didn't expect her words to become reality the next day.Bong Joon-ho ran to the hotel with a mournful face and told her that Kim Hye-ja still refused to act.Seeing that Bong Joon Ho is grown up but looks sad like a child, Song Ya scolded herself for being a crow, and at the same time secretly made up her mind to persuade Kim Hye Ja to play the role.

In fact, Song Ya probably guessed the reason for Jin Huizi's resignation - lack of self-confidence.

Yes, although she is the winner of many awards, Kim Hye-ja, who seldom appears in movies, is actually not confident when facing the big screen.Not to mention playing the heroine.

Song Ya pondered for a day, thinking that the most feasible suggestion from her mother was to impress Jin Huizi.But this time she didn't go with Feng Junhao, but brought the leading actor Yuan Bin to visit Jin Huizi.

Yuan Bin was volunteering in a care home for mentally handicapped children when he received a call from Song Ya for help.

"Yami?"

"Yes, Oppa!"

Yuan Bin retired from the army in 06. Like all actors who have just finished their military service, Yuan Bin was once on the verge of unemployment. The replacement of Korean entertainment is too fast. Even if the company lowered his value for Yuan Bin,

There are still very few crews who take the initiative to contact work, and none of them are leading actors.Yuan Bin was really disheartened for a period of time, and he, who was naturally sensitive and inferior, even started to withdraw, until Feng Junhao found him.

In fact, Yuan Bin's audition process was full of twists and turns.After not acting for two years, Won Bin no longer knew how to face the camera. The first round of audition was like a puppet, making Bong Joon Ho look stupid.If it wasn't for another screenwriter, Park Enjo, who tried his best to be honest, Bong Joon Ho would never have given Won Bin a second chance.

However, the later audition was also not smooth, but it was Won Bin's melancholy and innocent eyes that finally moved Feng Junhao.

"This is the Dao Jun I'm looking for." After the fifth round of auditions, Feng Junhao finally made up his mind to hand over the male lead to Yuan Bin.However, he reminded at the same time: "Yuan Bin, don't blame me for speaking badly. Now you just passed the audition. If your performance during the shooting still doesn't satisfy me completely, I will change actors at any time."

Therefore, Song Ya felt that Yuan Bin and Jin Huizi were very similar. After being away from the big screen for a long time, they felt extremely unconfident in their hearts.But as actors, they are eager to break through,

When encountering such a challenging role, on the one hand, I really want to play it, but on the other hand, I am afraid that I will not be able to perform well.According to Song Ya's analysis, two people whose inner emotions are so close will definitely have some kind of sympathy and sympathy in the conversation.What's more, Yuan Bin played the role of "son" in the play.As the prospective "mother", Jin Huizi will be surprised and moved when she sees her "son" appearing in front of her?

However, Song Ya and Yuan Bin encountered a little accident on the way to Jin Huizi's house the next day.

They were being watched by the paparazzi.

"You don't mind spreading rumors with me, do you?" Yuan Bin asked half-jokingly.

"I don't mind." Song Ya looked sideways at the paparazzi's car behind her through the rearview mirror. "Brother, speed up."

"It's useless to accelerate." Yuan Bin frowned. "This road has a speed limit. If I go faster, I will be invited to drink tea."

Song Ya remembered that the last time she saw Yuan Bin was at the awards ceremony of the Blue Dragon Film Festival in 05.At that time, he was successfully shortlisted for the best actor in the movie "My Brother" starring with Shin Ha Kyun, but it was a pity that he lost to the actor Huang Zhengmin in "You Are My Destiny" by one vote.

Not seeing each other for nearly three years, Yuan Bin seems to have changed a lot, but nothing seems to have changed.His skin hadn't been darkened by the sun and wind when he was a soldier, but his figure was indeed not as thin as before.

"Does brother have any plans for his future career?" Song Ya asked curiously.

Yuan Bin shook his head, and said rather helplessly: "Do you think I still need to plan? It would be nice to have a movie."

In fact, the more well-developed male stars are before enlisting in the army, the more likely their careers will stagnate after retiring from the army.After all, once the status goes up, it will become difficult to accept the fate of starting from the bottom.He used to be the leading actor, but in just two years, he turned into the supporting actor again. I'm afraid people with a little loftiness in their bones would not be able to accept it.

"I'm sorry." Song Ya suddenly felt that her question just now was presumptuous.

"Come on!" Seeing Song Ya's guilty look, Yuan Bin raised his hand and messed up her hair, and said with a smile, "It's just chatting, I'm not that stingy."

However, before his hands had time to leave Song Ya's hair, two men on motorcycles suddenly jumped out from their car and slapped the windshield of their car indiscriminately.

The strong flash light dazzled Yuan Bin's eyes.

"Damn!" He seldom swears while stepping on the brakes.

In fact, Song Ya was also very angry. The scene just now reminded her of Diana who died in Paris.Fortunately, Yuan Bin didn't drive fast, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.However, Song Ya couldn't help laughing when Yuan Bin, who had always been gentle and refined, suddenly became swearing like a street ruffian.

Is there something wrong with me?I thought he was so cute.

Yuan Bin couldn't laugh at all. "Don't laugh, miss, we almost got into a car accident!"

"Didn't it come out?" Song Ya blinked innocently.

Yuan Bin closed his eyes in despair, restarted the car, and muttered: "I guess the scandal will be in the newspaper tomorrow, how can I explain it to Yincheng?"

"What?" Song Ya stretched her ear over, "What did Oppa just say? Explain to whom? Girlfriend?"

"Come on, you heard it all." Yuan Bin gave Song Ya a disgusted look.

"I didn't hear it!" Song Ya emphasized loudly.

Really?Yuan Bin looked at Song Ya, at first he thought the girl was just pretending to be stupid, until he found that Song Ya really didn't hear her.Hey, I haven't seen you for a few years, he is getting old, and Song Ya's hearing seems to be deteriorating. "If you didn't hear it, then you didn't hear it." Yuan Bin curled his lips, complaining about Zhao Yincheng in his heart.

Three years have passed, and I have returned from serving as a soldier, yet you kid still haven't confessed your love?

Yuan Bin feels that he needs to have a good chat with Zhao Yincheng if he has you.Do you like Yami?If you don't like it, I'm going to grab it!

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

In fact, just as Song Ya expected, Yuan Bin's appearance completely changed Jin Huizi's previous attitude of resisting filming.That day, in the small sunny living room of the Jin family, Yuan Bin and Jin Huizi, who met for the first time, talked openly for a long time, from the hardships of entering this circle to all kinds of accidents and helplessness in life.

Because Yuan Bin originally had a "poor and distressing" handsome appearance, and his career stagnated after retiring from the army, so that the age of [-], which was originally standing at the age of [-], turned into a pair of gloomy eyebrows in the crisis of life. Now it looks more like pear blossoms with rain, softer and more beautiful than women.Jin Huizi looked at him with distressed eyes.When eating, like a mother, she added vegetables and served rice, and finally cooked a bowl of kelp soup for Yuan Bin.Song Ya was jealous, she pursed her mouth and couldn't help complaining: "Auntie, at least consider my feelings, you make soup for Brother Yuan Bin, what about me? Only deserve water?"

Yuan Bin glanced at Song Ya, then held up the half-drinked seaweed soup in front of her, and said with a smile: "If you don't dislike Ouba's saliva, drink it now."

How dare Song Ya drink?Glancing at Jin Huizi secretly, she said pointedly: "Don't mind, if I drink, Auntie will be upset."

Jin Huizi smiled without saying a word, drinking tea while listening to Yuan Bin and Song Ya talking poorly.Then that night, Song Ya received a "greeting" call from her mother Song Shunen: "Say, when did you get married to Yuan Bin?"

"Yuan...Yuan Bin?" Song Ya felt that her mother had a really big brain.

"Don't stutter, don't play dumb, Aunt Jin Huizi told me that you two were flirting openly in her living room." Song Shunen reprimanded her daughter with a smile on her face.

"Mom! You misunderstood, I have nothing to do with Yuan Bin Ouba!"

"Oh, that's fine. Don't explain too much. In fact, my mother understands it. Seriously, Yami has a good eye. When watching "Blue Life and Death", my mother thought Yuan Binxi was very good. He was handsome and his acting skills were excellent. Great, I wanted to drag someone to be a matchmaker to introduce you to each other, but this time it’s okay, the two of you ran together by yourself, and my mother is really happy. However, Yuan Binxi’s family is a little poor, but my mother doesn’t care, as long as As long as you like it, our family can pay for the preparation of the wedding..."

Hey... Song Ya feels that her mother's brain is really big.

On the day Song Ya left Korea, Kim Hye-ja officially signed a contract with the "Mother" crew.Holding the freshly released contract, Feng Junhao couldn't restrain his excitement on the phone: "Yami, thank you, why don't you go back to Korea and I'll treat you to a big meal."

"Don't thank me, the person who has contributed the most here is Yuan Bin Ouba."

"What? Are you really in a relationship?" These few photos of Yen Bin stroking Song Ya's hair in the car floated over Seoul like snowflakes. Really.What's more, he agrees with most of the spectators, thinking that Yuan Bin and Song Ya are a good match. "Oh, I see, thanking him is thanking you, right? Wow, when are you two getting engaged?"

Song Ya was dizzy, thinking that Feng Junhao is worthy of being a great director and screenwriter, his ability to control the story is comparable to his own mother. "Director Feng, let me say it again, Yuan Bin Ouba and I are really not in a relationship. Didn't the two brokerage companies issue statements? It's all a misunderstanding."

"OK, misunderstood, misunderstood." Director Bong laughed, but he still didn't believe it anyway.Song Ya didn't intend to explain more to him, seeing that she was about to board the plane, she was about to hang up the phone, until then, Feng Junhao's tone showed a trace of stability again: "Yami, I want to ask you something, your directing course How are you studying?"

Although she didn't understand why the other party asked this suddenly, Song Ya still said seriously: "There are two years left in my studies, one year is a professional course, and one year is an internship."

"Do you want to enter the internship stage early?"

"Of course!" Song Ya said without hesitation. "However, I have no experience and no one will come to me."

"I'm looking for you! Oh no, it's an invitation!" Feng Junhao said seriously, "Isn't there a strike in the United States? My movie will start shooting in April. If you have time then, come to the crew of "Mother" Get an internship."
