The splendid life of Korean entertainment

"How old is Song Zhongji-kun this year?" Gu Huishan asked beside him.When meeting for the first time, Koreans will ask each other's age.This is not to spy on privacy, but to distinguish the elders from the younger by comparing their ages.One year older is the difference between "brother and sister" and "brother and sister".

When speaking, juniors should use honorifics.Otherwise, they will be regarded as having no tutor by the elders, which is very shameful.

Currently among the trainees of S/M company, the only Song Ah who can directly call her "brother" is Park Jung-soo (Leeteuk) who was born in [-], and Kim Hee-chul, who was born in [-], is her same age and can be regarded as a "friend".And the rest, including Han Geng who was born in [-], had to call Song Ya "sister".

It's only one year away. Whenever Song Ya thinks about it, her chest feels tight.

"I was born in [-]." Song Zhongji said shyly.

"Ah, so we are all your older sisters." Cai Yan said with a smile.Seems to have regained some balance.

Song Zhongji nodded, and then secretly glanced at Song Ya.

"Is Mr. Song Zhongji still in school?" Song Ya asked.She has no social barriers, if she sits on the sidelines all the time, doesn't it seem too rude.

As if he liked Song Ya very much, he suddenly opened his mouth, Song Zhongji's smile brightened again, and he began to talk more: "Well, I'm still in high school, but I'm going to take the university entrance exam this year, but I haven't decided which one to take. Good. How about my sisters give me some advice."

"Don't ask me!" Cai Yan quickly raised her hands and said in a broken voice. "Although I understand that knowledge is power, I really don't like learning." After speaking, he stuck out his tongue playfully.

Everyone laughed.

"Which direction does Song Zhongji want to develop?" Gu Huishan asked.There are specializations in the art industry, and interest determines everything.

Song Zhongji thought for a while and then said seriously: "I like behind-the-scenes work, such as dubbing, broadcasting, scene recording and so on. Hmm... If possible, I would also like to try to be a director."

"It would be a pity if you don't become an actress if you are so beautiful!" Cai Yan looked at Song Zhongji and couldn't help sighing, she was full of maternal love.

"Yeah, it's a pity." Gu Hye-sun nodded in agreement, feeling that if a boy like Song Joong-ki with a clean appearance and a strong student spirit didn't become an actor, it would be a real loss for the Korean film industry.

There is a reason for Goo Hye Sun's regret.Nowadays, there is an age gap among male actors in the Korean film industry.Too mature, young and too young, it's okay to play a child or elementary school student, but if you play a high school student, it is completely unrealistic.This has led to the fact that in addition to playing the adult protagonist, the male protagonist also occasionally wears a student uniform, uses thick makeup to cover his mature and elegant appearance, and plays the role of a high school student.But the audience's eyes are discerning, and there must be a difference in appearance between teenagers and youths in their 20s.

"How can a teenager have such majestic and stalwart chest muscles?" This is the evaluation given by an audience after the movie "A Man Is Born" was released last year.In the play, although the performance of the male lead Zheng Jun is eye-catching, many viewers are "intoxicated" by him wearing a student uniform and claiming that he is only 15 years old.

Zheng Jun was very embarrassed and had to personally apologize, "I'm sorry, if I take on the role of a student in the future, I will definitely not go to the gym to exercise again. However, judging from the current situation, it is likely that no director will come to me again Go play high school students."

Lessons learned from the past, Koreans are dedicated and hope that the films they make will be perfect.Therefore, in a series of film and television works that started shooting later, if there are high school students appearing, the producer will specially select suitable people from the trainees of major entertainment companies.Anyway, trainees are cheap, and major companies also support their trainees to participate in the filming of film and television dramas, paving the way for their future debut.

Currently, as far as SM is concerned, Kim Jaejoong and Kim Heechul have participated in the filming of several film and television dramas.Even though they are all small-timers, the camera flashes by, and the audience can't see their appearance clearly, but the senior executives of SM company still talk about it.At least it proved that choosing them to join the company was the right choice.After debut, there will definitely be a market.

In addition to directly selecting candidates from major record companies, there is another way to find suitable candidates from schools.Many schools in South Korea have performance clubs organized by students themselves.Like Jang Dong Gun, Son Ye Jin was the main force of the school performance club in high school.After all, not all parents want their children to suffer hardships as "trainees".If you really like acting, you can pass the formal exams as an adult and go to your favorite film school.After graduating, one is to have academic qualifications, and the other is to be more loved and respected by the audience.

Song Zhongji belongs to the second situation.If you don't want to be a trainee, you don't need to drop out of school. The agency will directly provide you with an audition opportunity. If you succeed, you will get a [-]:[-] split for the service fee.The company is eight, and Song Zhongji is two.It seems like he is bullying, but Song Zhongji feels that he is not at a loss. After all, his studies have not been affected, he is still young, and he is currently in the stage of accumulating experience.

Hearing his sisters praise him, Song Zhongji scratched his head in embarrassment: "No, I'm just an ordinary person." But he was still happy in his heart.He raised his head to look at Song Ya, and found that the other party was also looking at him.The lights were bright, and Song Ya's eyes shone like lake waves.Song Zhongji was stunned for a moment, suddenly, he didn't know what to say next.

Song Ya suddenly said, "Sungkyunkwan University is not bad. I heard that senior Bae Yong Joon graduated from there." Song Ya has been wandering the Internet for the past few days to check information, and basically has a general understanding of the Korean entertainment industry. .She also took a general look at the universities that offer acting majors.Sungkyunkwan University has a long history and strong faculty, and is one of the most influential universities in South Korea.To be honest, Song Ya also plans to go to this university. After all, if you want to be an actor in Korea, you will be disgusted by the audience if you don't have a good education.

"Sungkyunkwan University is good, but the grades are too high. My studies are average." Song Zhongji said with a blushing face.

"You must be modest, Mr. Song Zhongji." Cai Yan joked aside.

"It must be being humble." Gu Huishan answered. "Song Zhongji-kun looks like the kind of kid who studies very hard."

Song Ya said: "It's smart, people have an aura." After 20 years of working in Hollywood, Song Ya is still very accurate in seeing people.Just like her ex-ex-ex-boyfriend Oledo Bloom, although he later cheated on Mirinda Kerr, Song Ya still did not regret recommending him to Peter Jackson, the director of "Lord of the Rings".

"Oledo is talented and hard-working. He will definitely become an outstanding actor in the future."

Facts have proved that Song Ya's vision is indeed good. The "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies achieved high box office and word-of-mouth wins around the world, making Oledo Bloom the hottest new star in Hollywood.

And Song Zhongji gave Song Ya the same feeling - he has a good appearance, youthful, shy smile, strong student spirit, very friendly, it can be said that he is unforgettable.If he is an actor, there must be many people who like him.This is called "audience".Acting skills seem to be less important.

Song Zhongji was embarrassed by his sisters again.Especially Song Ya's praise made his young heart feel swept away by a gust of spring breeze. "I will work hard." He looked at Song Ya and said.His face was crimson, and his eyes were clear.

"Ah! Senior Prime Minister Quan!" Cai Yan suddenly screamed.

"Oh? They are..." As soon as he came out of the office, Quan Xiangyou saw a few young people in the opposite room. He turned his head and asked the assistant director beside him. His face was very peaceful. Because of Cai Yan's screaming, she showed a little bit of displeasure.

The assistant director said, "It's a young actor who came to audition."

At this time, Song Ya and the others had already come out to say hello. "Hello senior." Everyone said in unison.

"Hello." Quan Xiangyou nodded slightly and smiled.His scrutinizing eyes swept across the crowd, and stopped for a moment on Song Ya and Song Zhongji.

Cai Yan asked cautiously: "Senior, can you sign for us?"

us?Everyone else was taken aback.Song Ya and Gu Huishan's eyes met, and they smiled meaningfully together.

"Signing is not allowed." The manager of the power minister hurriedly stood up and said with a serious expression.

The refusal is not because of the airs, but because some brokerage companies have named regulations that do not allow actors to sign at will without the company's permission.The main reason is that I am afraid that this move will be used by criminals and cause unnecessary trouble.

Cai Yan also understood this truth, and took back the notebook in embarrassment, but she was still a little unwilling.

The scene was a little awkward for a while.At this time, the assistant director suggested from the side: "Why don't you take a photo with the juniors. After it's washed out, hang it here." Pointing to the wall full of photos behind him, there are all Today's popular Korean performing arts stars include Kim Hee-sun, Jang Dong-gun, Lee Young-ae, Son Ye-jin, Ha Ji-won, etc. Some photos are newly taken, and some photos are old photos from a long time ago. It can be seen that many stars at that time were like Today's Song Ya, like them, is still a fledgling rookie.

"That's right, our brother Xiangyou's photo should have been hung here a long time ago." The female assistant of Quan Xiangyou said half-jokingly.

"Then please ask the staff to take a picture for us." Kwon Sang-woo said to the assistant director apologetically.This time, the broker did not object.

"Okay, okay." The assistant director hurriedly greeted Song Ya and the others, "Come here quickly, what are you still doing here?"

Cai Yan was the first to jump up, occupying the position on the left of the opposite party.Although he tried his best to bear it, the corner of his mouth still opened a big arc, "Hey hey hey" he kept giggling.

"Go up, Yami!"

Song Ya, who was short-circuited in her thoughts, felt someone push her suddenly behind her, and when she looked back, it was Jin Baola who had disappeared for a long time. "Where have you been?" Song Ya pretended to be angry, how could the manager leave the artist alone?

"I'll tell you later." Jin Baora pretended to be mysterious, both hands were still pushing Song Ya to the right side of Prime Minister Quan. "Close to senior, next to him, hurry up!" She whispered.

Song Ya rolled her eyes, of course she understood what Jin Baora meant. "It's a bit like a broker," she said to herself.Although she was aware of the importance of the photo, at the last moment, Song Ya still pushed Song Zhongji, who was standing behind her, hesitantly, to the side of Prime Minister Quan. "Stand here, Song Zhongji-kun."

"I'll go there." Song Zhongji blushed, pointing to the most inconspicuous outside.

"Just stand here!" Song Ya said domineeringly.Song Zhongji was not given a chance to dodge at all.

The assistant director has already raised the camera and stood in front: "Okay, everyone, look at me, one, two, three—"

"Kim Qin!"

After the photo was developed, it looked like this: Prime Minister Quan stood in the middle, pursing the corners of his mouth slightly, with a gentle appearance.On the left is Cai Yan with a smirk, and on the left is Gu Hyesun with a shy and dull expression.On the right is the shy and handsome Song Zhongji. Because he is a boy, Quan Xiangyou put his hand on his right shoulder very kindly, as if "supporting the younger generation".And to the right, there is Song Ya whose chin is raised slightly, her face is cold and arrogant, as if she is the protagonist.

Jin Baola stood aside, feeling that her little girl had suddenly become "dominant"!

The author has something to say: Song Joong Ki is also a more important younger brother. You can look forward to it, because... the big male god is familiar with him. Can everyone guess who it is this time?

If I tell everyone that I have studied Korean for a year, will everyone die laughing?

I have really learned it. . .My teacher is from Busan, and his name is Kim Shin-kyo. His younger brother is Kim Shin-hyo. He is not handsome at all, but he is very cute. I still remember how aggrieved and aggrieved he was when he taught us to sing "Arirang". He looked funny. Later, the teacher went back to South Korea to serve as a soldier. He said that his Chinese is quite good, but he blushes when he speaks, and he is very shy.
