Korean Entertainment's Betrayal

"Meow~"

Ren Zhenya was squatting by the door of Bar 577, teasing a stray yellow raccoon cat. Her slender fingers gently scratched the furry throat of the cat. The latter narrowed its topaz-like eyes and made a comfortable 'purr' sound. .

"It's really cute and cute."

She originally made an appointment to meet here, but because she arrived earlier than the scheduled time, she found the sign of "Closed" hanging on the storefront, and she was wondering what to do. She saw the stray cat at the door and found that it was not afraid of life, so she let Zhenya simply squatted down to tease the cat.

The yellow civet cat, which was being served comfortably, suddenly stopped, showing a vigilant look, and then ran away with a 'meow'.

"Ah, I'm gone." Ren Zhenya looked very regretful.

"Do you like cats?" A man's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

When Ren Zhenya turned her head, she found that standing behind her was He Zhengyu in casual clothes, with his hands in his trouser pockets, a gray fur hat, and a short and thick stubble on his chin, looking at her with a smile.

"Senior He Zhengyu! You are here!" Ren Zhenya immediately stood up, boldly raised her head and glanced at He Zhengyu quickly, but immediately lowered her head, her heartbeat rose rapidly, and heat quickly climbed onto her cheeks.

As one of the investors of Bar 577, He Zhengyu is also a wayward boss.Although the door says the highlights of the opening hours from [-] pm until late at night, it cannot be counted.For him, opening this bar is not for profit, but as a place to stay in his own leisure time.

He Zhengyu took out the key, opened the door, and asked, "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

Ren Zhenya shook her head desperately: "No, no, I also just arrived."

Although she arrived half an hour earlier than the appointed time, Ren Zhenya didn't feel that she had waited very hard at all.

Because she was going to meet an idol, just thinking of this thought made Ren Zhenya so excited that she didn't even sleep well last night, and today she barely covered her dark circles with a thick layer of concealer.

A few days ago, Dashu Film and Television received an invitation proposal from He Zhengyu. It is said that a film adapted from a famous novel is in preparation. He Zhengyu believes that one of the roles is very suitable for Ren Zhenya.But since he doesn't have Ren Zhenya's personal contact information, he hopes to meet her personally through Dashu Film and Television.

Representative Jin of Dashu Film and Television believes that the invited meeting must be there, not only because Ha Zhengyu is Ren Zhenya's idol, but also because he is also a senior in Chungmuro, and it is beneficial and harmless to make friends.

But Representative Jin also repeatedly told Ren Zhenya: "It is a good thing to be able to get in touch with idols at close range. He Zhengyu is also a good actor who will support his younger generations. Maybe there will be opportunities for formal cooperation in the future. It’s okay to go there, but if He mentioned that he wants to write and direct his own work, no matter what kind of request he asks, you should not agree to it."

Jin Zhongdao had received the news a long time ago that Ha Zhengyu was going to adapt, direct and act in a famous Chinese novel called "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood".

As early as 2000, the representative of a South Korean film production company saw the Korean version of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" by chance. Later, due to various reasons, this novel still failed to be put on the big screen.

In the 13 years since the purchase of the film adaptation rights, Representative An has paid 10 billion won in copyright fees for "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", which is still in the script creation stage, and the company is on the verge of bankruptcy. The situation is in a very difficult situation.It was also at this time that Representative An approached Ha Jung-woo who was filming "Terror Live" at the time, hoping that he would be in charge of adapting and directing this masterpiece.

Kim Jong-do respects Ha Jung-woo as an actor, but he doesn't like Ha Jung-woo as a director.

Last year, the low-budget comedy film "Roller Coaster" written and directed by He Zhengyu not only failed at the box office, but also failed in terms of word-of-mouth evaluation.

Ren Zhenya is currently on the rise in her career, and she has to be careful in the selection of each work. Jin Zhongdao hopes to gradually make her a queen on the premise that she has no shortage of resources, connections and acting skills. This is similar to cultivating potted plants. It's the same reason.

Jin Zhongdao didn't want Ren Zhenya to waste her previous efforts for the sake of rashness.

Entering Bar 577, Ren Zhenya looked around and looked at the decoration. The design of this place is similar to the general Korean izakaya, but the special thing is that Ha Zhengyu's paintings can be seen everywhere here.

He Zhengyu walked into the bar, took off his down jacket, rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands at the sink, and asked Ren Zhenya, "What would you like to drink? Water, juice, soda, beer, or shochu?"

Ren Zhenya sat at the bar, propped her cheeks and looked at the blackboard with the wine list written on it, but she didn't dare to meet He Zhengyu's eyes.Her eyes wandered around the blackboard, and she said hesitantly, "rs?... lemon sparkling water?"

But she quickly shook her head and vetoed: "...No, water is fine."

Picking up a sterilized clean white cloth and wiping his hands, He Zhengyu smiled and said, "I'm afraid I won't do it?"

The idol saw through her mind at a glance, Ren Zhenya felt that her face seemed to be on fire again, she covered it up like a mosquito: "No, no."

Seeing Ren Zhenya's red ears, cheeks, and neck, and the tomato essence coming out again, He Zhengyu shook his head secretly in his heart and smiled, the little girl is so cute.

After debuting for many years, He Zhengyu has met many artists who claim to be his fans, but this is the first time he has seen a type of fan like Ren Zhenya who is so obvious at a glance.He rarely dares to raise his head and look at himself, always looks at other places when talking, and blush at every turn.This will only make He Zhengyu, an elderly uncle, want to tease her even more.

Not long after, a glass of lemon sparkling water was placed in front of Ren Zhenya.

A glass of drink opened Ren Zhenya's horizons.

A piece of lime floats on the rim of the glass, and it looks like an incredible gradient of layered colors, from as bright as the setting sun, to as orange as the rising sun, and finally a transparent and colorless bottom, with a few ice cubes as the finished product Decorative embellishment.It looks like a cocktail but doesn't contain any alcohol.

"...Can I take a picture?" Ren Zhenya asked excitedly.

When she saw He Zhengyu with a smile on her lips, she hastily lowered her head and looked at the wooden counter at the bar, like a shy mimosa: "...Because it was made by seniors, so it is very precious."

He Zhengyu suddenly burst out laughing, he was next to the bar, and suddenly pulled into the distance between the two of them, he looked at Ren Zhenya with his chin on his hands: "Of course you can take pictures, if you want, I will show you more different varieties in the future drink."

Ah, even with his messy stubble, she still thinks Ha Jung Woo is handsome.

Not daring to look directly at the idol's face for too long, Ren Zhenya held the cold glass with both hands, and almost buried her head in her chest.

No longer teasing Ren Zhenya, He Zhengyu decided to get down to business: "Zhenya, from which movie did you know me?"

"Crack." Ren Zhenya, who had just finished taking the photo, raised her head and replied almost subconsciously: ""Unforgivable"."

The next second, the little person in her heart was spinning and jumping happily again, because the idol called her name directly.

"...I don't know if this is a good start." Upon hearing this answer, He Zhengyu showed some embarrassment and couldn't laugh or cry.

"Unforgivable" is about the hazy same-sex/love between the military and the degree of oppression by public opinion, which closely follows the enthusiasm of current social events in that year.But if calculated based on age and when the film was released, Ren Zhenya was still in junior high school at that time?

Ren Zhenya suddenly raised her head and met He Zhengyu's eyes. She said solemnly: "Of course it was a good start. I decided to become an actor because I watched this movie. Afterwards, senior, you will star in the literary film "Time" , Senior’s performances in these two films moved me very much, and for the first time I realized the subtlety and influence of artistic performances.”

"I've also watched "Breath", "Second Love", and "Beast Boy". If there were no seniors, there would be no Ren Zhenya today."

As soon as these words came out, Ren Zhenya felt that she was too menglang, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at He Zhengyu's expression, for fear that he would think she was a weirdo, she just liked him very much, as an idol.

Just as Ren Zhenya's heart was jumping up and down nervously, a big hand suddenly pressed on the top of her head, and then gently rubbed it, it felt like an elder's love for a younger generation.

Ha Jung Woo's voice is gentle, deep and magnetic: "Thank you for loving and supporting actor Ha Jung Woo."

Many people know him as an actor through "The Chaser", "National Representative" and "Yellow Sea", and some people began to declare themselves fans of Ha Zhengyu because of "War on Crime" and "Terror Live" , and very few people will mention his film work during his unknown period.

However, the young girl in front of him was able to mention these works like a few treasures, which touched He Zhengyu's heart very much.

"I've watched your "Silver Girl". Your performance in it is not like a rookie actor at all. Only the subtleties can reveal your youthful feeling as a rookie."

Although the cooperation time in "Terror Live" was very short, Ren Zhenya only came to the filming set for one day, and she finished the 5-minute cameo scene.Although I don't know how long Ren Zhenya took to prepare, He Zhengyu can see her dedication: it's not going to the university to attend a few lectures, take a few days of body class, and watch the news programs casually, and you can exercise that breath The standard broadcast accent and the correct manners of the anchor.

In He Zhengyu's eyes, Ren Zhenya is not only a lovely junior, but also a respectable actor, which also made him interested in her works.

Ren Zhenya's performance in "Silver Girl" shocked He Zhengyu a lot: "When you won the Grand Bell Award, the Blue Dragon Award, and the Baeksang Arts Award for three consecutive times, how did you feel? "

"Silver Jiao" is a 19-banned movie, the plot is outrageous, and the actors have to be naked/naked. After the release, the box office was dismal. It didn't pass the profit and loss cut-off point, which was equivalent to a loss. However, Ren Zhenya's acting skills were generally praised by the film critics at that time praise.

At that time, the director of "Yinjiao" said that the nomination was sure, but don't think about anything else, so Ren Zhenya didn't have high expectations for winning the newcomer award, but when she really put Dazhong Qinglong With the three newcomers of Baixiang hugging her in her arms, she still felt like she was dreaming.

"...I was thinking 'I hope this is not all the luck I have spent in my life', I am afraid that after winning the newcomer award, I will be silent, and then no one will remember that Yinjiao back then." Ren Zhenya held the glass , For the first time, she expressed her true state of mind after winning the award.

Until now, Ren Zhenya still doesn't have a real sense of her popularity.

She always thinks that her popularity depends on other people. No matter "The Double-Faced King", "Snowpiercer", or "The Moon Embracing the Sun", she is not the leading actor in it. Most of the credit for her popularity cannot be attributed to herself. body.

That's why Ren Zhenya felt that her title of 'Zhongmu Road General Trend' came from something unfair.

He Zhengyu couldn't help pressing the top of the little girl's head in front of him, and rubbed it vigorously a few times: "You are a good boy with good luck, strength, and favored by heaven."

While Ha Jung Woo was still messing up her hair, Ren Zhenya lowered her head, hiding the phrase 'my goal is to become an actor like my senior' in her heart, not daring to say it out of her mouth.

Feeling the soft and smooth hair in the palm of your hand, it is really pleasing to have a tomato essence junior, He Zhengyu thought to himself.

After He Zhengyu let go, Ren Zhenya asked in a low voice, "I, I heard that senior is going to adapt "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"?"

He Zhengyu, who didn't hear clearly, leaned forward actively, "Huh?"

It was too close, too close, as if the idol's face was right in front of her eyes, Ren Zhenya leaned back suddenly, and almost fell off her seat because of this, she was ashamed in front of the idol, she came to this realization She blushed again in embarrassment.

Holding the edge of the counter tightly, Ren Zhenya focused her eyes on the wine cabinet behind He Zhengyu, and expressed her loyalty to the idol very quickly: "I heard from the company that seniors are going to adapt "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" , if senior needs my place, I will definitely go through fire and water, and I will die."

He Zhengyu waved his hands again and again while laughing: "...It doesn't need to go to this point."

He asked again: "Have you watched "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood"?"

Ren Zhenya nodded, "I saw it when I was in college."

"Then do you know that there is a character named Lin Fenfang?"

"The two most beautiful women in the village at that time were Xu Yulan, the Xishi of You Tiao, and Lin Fenfang, who worked in the silk factory. Xu Sanguan liked both of them, but he married Xu Yulan in the end. But after marriage, Xu Sanguan found out that I was cuckolded, and met Lin Fenfang who was married to a woman by chance, and had sex with her impulsively, in order to compensate Lin Fenfang, Xu Sanguan went to sell his blood for the third time."

Although it is a book I read in college, Ren Zhenya has a deep memory of many plots in it.

He Zhengyu is very satisfied with Ren Zhenya's understanding of this masterpiece, which means that she must also be able to understand the script better: "I want to ask if you play the role of Lin Fenfang, would you be willing?"

Ren Zhenya's first reaction was to say 'Of course I would', but her feverish mind immediately calmed down, and at this moment she remembered her identity as an actor: "Senior, I will have "Old Thousand 2" in the next New Year. There are new works under consideration recently, and if it goes well, shooting may start in the second half of the year.”

She pondered for a while, and her distressed expression finally turned into a dilemma: "If possible, I would certainly like to contribute to the movie of the senior, and it doesn't matter if I play for free. But the role of Lin Fenfang needs to gain weight. Fat and weight loss, I may not be able to do it, it will take time. And there are other jobs, I can't take it for granted."

But she thought about it, and came up with a compromise: "I heard that seniors are not doing well in terms of funding and sponsorship. Although I can't act, I am willing to inject capital. The amount may not be of great help, but it can be regarded as a token of my heart."

If Jin Zhongdao's representative is on the scene, I don't know whether to be relieved or a headache.

Indeed, as he wished, Ren Zhenya didn't plan to act in the movie written and directed by He Zhengyu, but she planned to inject money into the film production, which was no different from throwing money into the sea. This is definitely an investment that won't return!

He Zhengyu doesn't mind being rejected. When he was filming "Roller Coaster", he went everywhere to ask for sponsorship and investment. As a director, his knees have long been worthless.Including the self-written, directed and acted "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" this time, He Zhiyuan, who played the heroine, also refused from the beginning, and was finally ground by him to surrender.

Whether as an actor or as a director, He Zhengyu has an indomitable tenacity.

"After "Grandmaid 2", what will be your next work?"

""Sorrow". "Ren Zhenya's role is almost predetermined. Her uncle has a personal relationship with the director of this film, and the director himself also hopes to cooperate with her. This role can only be played in a relaxed atmosphere of a family dinner. Talked down.

About this movie, He Zhengyu has heard a little bit. The director of "Sorrow" not only has many well-known works, such as "The King's Man" and "Suyuan", but also a famous film producer. Ren Zhenya can have this The opportunity to cooperate with him should indeed be cherished.

But He Zhengyu didn't want to give up easily, he thought for a long time.

Ren Zhenya held the empty glass and sat quietly, admiring the charming appearance of the idol when she was thinking.

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and asked eagerly: "What if it's just a cameo?"

Ha Zhengyu went on to say: "I don't need you to gain weight or lose weight. I will minimize the scenes, and it won't take you too much time. It will take about a week, at most two weeks. Look at this, okay?"

Ren Zhenya calculated the time and itinerary, and happily replied: "Yes, of course, I will tell the representative when I get back!"

Although Jin Zhongdao told her thousands of times, Ren Zhenya didn't intend to listen to him from the beginning, saying that whether she is arrogant or disobedient, a ready-made opportunity to cooperate with an idol is in front of her eyes, as long as the conditions Allowed, Ren Zhenya is willing to do anything.

Including acting with zero pay and joining the group with funding.

Ren Zhenya may not know that this is a loss-making business, but this is an idol's work, so she must support it to the end no matter what, isn't it a matter of course?

Seeing Ren Zhenya's smiling face like a child, He Zhengyu also felt warm in his heart.As a director, he has mostly unpopular voices, and everyone in the working group followed him with doubts. Wholehearted trust like Tomato Jing gave him full spiritual support.

"Can you give me your contact information?"

"Hey?"

Ren Zhenya looked astonished and unbelievable, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears just now?

He Zhengyu gave her a doting smile: "I want to have your phone number."

Then he showed a clear expression, and shrugged helplessly: "If you don't want to, forget it, young people should spend more time with young people, and an elderly uncle like me is probably very boring to you. "

"No! No way! Senior is in the golden age of a man, and an ordinary boy is not as good as you!"

Ren Zhenya comforted her idol anxiously, fearing that he really regarded herself as a middle-aged person, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone, handed it to He Zhengyu, blushing, her hands trembling, and stammered: "If Seniors don't mind, please enter your contact information."

He Zhengyu took the phone, entered his phone number, and asked casually, "Zhenya, do you have a boyfriend now?"

"...No." Ren Zhenya froze for a moment before slowly answering.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked carefully, "Senior, I have a friend who has been troubled recently, but I don't know how to help her."

He Zhengyu didn't mind playing the role of a confidant uncle, he made a 'please' gesture.

Ren Zhenya breathed a sigh of relief, and told the story: "The girl met a boy at work. She didn't care about this boy at first, but the boy began to approach her slowly and took good care of her. He was also very careful, so the girl thought he was pursuing her. The girl had a talk with the boy, and she thought the two had reached a consensus, and in the future they would understand each other on the premise of dating."

"But the girl later found out that the boy started to treat her hot and cold, and even gradually alienated her. The girl didn't understand, and she didn't understand, but she thought about it and comforted herself that maybe the boy was busy with work. Ignore her. Although I have a vague idea in my heart, the girl is unwilling to confirm it."

"Until recently, when a girl saw a boy with other girls on a very occasional occasion, she realized that she was too stupid. From the beginning, the boy didn't give his heart, he just used himself as a way to pass the time It’s a little thing, but I take it seriously. Being cheated is not stupid, what is it? Boys who don’t know that girls already understand everything are still trying to deceive her.”

"The girl came home and saw the birthday gift she had prepared for the boy. She felt that this gift was the witness of the most humiliating moment in her life. She subconsciously wanted to destroy the gift, but she stopped."

At this time, Ren Zhenya showed a cold smile: "The girl thought to herself, I won't make it easier for you."

Ha Jung Woo immediately realized that this was a 'my friend is me' story.

"If the gift is disposed of silently, the only person who knows about it will always be the girl herself. The girl does not intend to let the boy continue to live happily with others without knowing anything. No matter what the boy receives What kind of reaction will the gift have, the girl's only thought is to scare him."

"Since I'm not feeling well, I won't let you feel better."

Ren Zhenya looked at He Zhengyu, she had a pair of moist and clear pupils, like beads soaked in a turbulent stream, but now it was bitingly cold.

"If it was a senior, what would you do? Would you agree with the girl's method?"

He Zhengyu rested his elbows on the bar counter, resting his cheeks with one hand, and said thoughtfully: "I can understand what girls do, but I'm afraid her 'revenge' is not painful or itchy in the eyes of boys. Suppose Boys really don’t have any feelings for girls, so no matter what she sends, it won’t hurt him. But for a person like this, if he really takes revenge, it will take too much effort and he will lose himself.”

"Then don't you do anything?" Ren Zhenya bit her lower lip unwillingly.

"Of course not, we still have to show our stance, at least let the boy know that she is not a toy he would only think of when he is bored." He Zhengyu waved his hand, "My suggestion is to make one last effort."

Seeing the doubts on Ren Zhenya's face, He Zhengyu explained: "Give the boy another chance, and bring a gift too. If the boy's answer satisfies her, then the gift is just a birthday present."

Ren Zhenya seems to have an idea: "But what if the boy's answer makes her dissatisfied?"

He Zhengyu smiled slyly: "Then throw the present on his face."
