The national goddess of Korean entertainment

On July 7st, after Kim Jae-joong and the other three formally filed a lawsuit in court, the report of TVXQ's disbandment has been making entertainment headlines in major Asian media, but in the United States, it was an unobtrusive report.

During the heavy shooting work, Joseph had never even heard of such a thing.He couldn't help being surprised when he heard it for the first time at dinner.

"God! I've never heard of such a thing. You are not slaves. Why can't you resist if you allow them to suck blood—Xu, your contract is also like this?!"

Blinking, Xu Zhiyuan couldn't answer his words.

Before joining Bof, she could say that her treatment was the best in Korea, but after signing with Bof, her treatment can only be said to be average, not much compared to ordinary artists, but obviously better than TVXQ up a little bit.

Because Xu Zhiyuan didn't speak, Joseph took it for granted that Xu Zhiyuan's contract was probably the same as that TVXQ, it was an overlord clause, a slave contract.

Shaking his head, he sighed with emotion, "Xu, although I know that Eastern and Western cultures are very different, you still need to have a spirit of resistance—to bow to the power, you must wrong yourself!"

Looking at Jin Jaejoong, he smiled and gave a thumbs up, "I support you—"

Hearing Joseph's words, Kim Jaejoong couldn't help laughing.

Although such support really has no real effect, for Kim Jaejoong, he still feels gratified.

He felt that he had done nothing wrong, but it was not what Chuang wanted to see at the beginning, especially when he parted ways with the other two partners. Every time he thought about it, he would feel heartache.

He had vaguely heard some things, but Xu Zhiyuan didn't know how to persuade Jin Jaejoong.

Actually, from her point of view, although she hates SM, she doesn't think any of the five TVXQ is at fault.

Whether the three who left or the two who remained, they are all independent individuals, and they all have to make choices for themselves, and at the same time pay the price for their choices.

But there is no doubt that after experiencing this incident, it was indeed a blow to the friendship of the five people.

"Brother Yunho and the others must be very sad now..."

Glancing at Xu Zhiyuan, Jin Jaejoong raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "You know, now some people call us the third from the left—they are the second from the right! Suddenly, we were separated into two sides. Originally, we had we agreed……"

After closing the sound, he whispered: "The three of us invest in the cosmetics business. We really just want to do something. It doesn't mean that we don't care about other things if we feel that we have investment. In fact, those investments are just to make us pay more. Some pocket money, if you say that the career is really not considered. But now it is the three of us who disregard the team for the sake of the cosmetics business, which really makes people feel a little unacceptable..."

He deliberately used Korean for these words, and Joseph at the same table probably couldn't understand them.Although Joseph's support is a happy thing, but Kim Jaejoong still has the concept that family scandals should not be exposed.

"It is said that we have changed, but we are not the only ones who have changed." Said in a low voice, Jin Zaijoong smiled bitterly, "Actually, I can understand them too—although they are not happy, but I don't blame them. Everyone has his own ambitions, Each has its own choice."

After a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed again, "You know what Siwon said? He told me in private, saying that I was like Andy Lau in Hong Kong. When he was a young artist, he also experienced a breakup—ah, what five The tiger will split..."

Raising her eyebrows, Xu Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing after thinking about it.

She had really heard this story before, from Shi Nansheng.

Speaking of Hong Kong TVB at that time, the five most popular niches originally agreed to advance and retreat together when renewing their contract with the TV station to strive for better benefits, but when things came to an end, one niche backed out.

The alliance was destroyed, the original agreement became a thing of the past, Liu Dehua was hidden for several years, and the two friends from the beginning also turned against each other.Many years later, they cooperated again and understood each other.

The one who betrayed the water was Liang Wei, who was later very famous in Hong Kong.

At that time, he betrayed the water because his family was poor and needed a stable job, so he couldn't take the risk of being fired from the TV station.

For such a reason, no one is embarrassed to criticize him, right?But, just like that, it caused a 20-year feud between the two friends.

"Since you don't blame Brother Yunhao, then go and tell him! Let the two of them not blame you..."

She really didn't want to see them become strangers from now on, even if they were no longer TVXQ, but they were still a team.It used to be a family loved by so many fans.

"Yes..." With a slight smile, Jin Jaejoong raised his eyebrows suddenly, and said with a smile: "We will be active with the new group jyj in the future, and everything will be better!"

How could sm be willing? !

Xu Zhiyuan is not optimistic, just like Rain said, there will be a long and difficult period in the future.

"Brother Zhong, have you ever thought about becoming a real actor? Just like Hyun Joong xi."

Hearing the mention of himself, Kim Hyun Joong turned his face to look at Xu Zhiyuan. Although he still felt a little awkward, but at this moment, he had to agree with Xu Zhiyuan's words: "It may be a good thing to develop in a different direction."

"Maybe!" Facing the two concerned gazes, Jin Jaejoong laughed, "I'll think about it—don't worry, I won't let myself be unhappy. Didn't you say it before! Zhiyuan, seeing you always Good things will happen - everything will be fine!"

Yes, everything will get better, even if it is difficult, it will be only for a while.

Xu Zhiyuan believes in this way, no matter what happens, just tell yourself that this is the worst moment, and after the worst moment has passed, it will only get worse.

Even if this is just self-consolation, after thinking about it this way, things will really develop in a good direction.

The crew wrapped up filming in Los Angeles and flew to Paris.

In the film, Ali Redney is a student at the University of Paris, graduating from the School of Architecture.Here is her first appearance in the movie.

Moreover, a dialogue between Cobb and his father-in-law is an important dialogue that reveals the principle of the entire dream space, so this scene is a very important scene.

However, this very important scene was not filmed in Paris.Although it is said to be the University of Paris, this scene will actually be shot in London.

Filmed in Paris, only on the streets of Paris, the scene where Ali Redney first falls asleep.

The scene on the streets of Paris has special explosion effects, which can also be synthesized by computer, but Nolan prefers to shoot in real scenes, so that it looks more realistic on the screen.

However, Emma had negotiated with the Paris city government for a long time before, but they could not get the Paris city government to agree to their use of explosives on the streets.

This is different from Tokyo. Tokyo's no-fly order is still willing to give in for their crew, but in Paris, the power of American blockbusters is obviously not that great.

We couldn't use real explosives, so we had to think of other ways. In the final shooting, we used high-pressure nitrogen. Although it was not explosives, the final shooting effect was quite perfect.

The location where they were filming was a cafe converted from a bakery.

Sitting and talking in the open air, Ali Redney realized under Cobb's gesture that he was in a dream, and the buildings he constructed began to explode one after another.

And this is Ali Redney, who fell into a dream for the first time. At this time, her emotions were completely different from those in the scenes shot in Los Angeles.

For this, Xu Zhiyuan still has a good grasp of it. After more than a month of "stress training", even in the face of Leonardo, her opponent's scene is still very natural and vivid, and it looks very relaxed.

However, there are still some small dangers during shooting, although many tests have been done before the official shooting to ensure that the two actors sitting on the coffee seat will not be hurt when the explosion occurs.

But shooting in such an environment is indeed a bit apprehensive.

Fortunately, after the collision of the locomotive before, Xu Zhiyuan really developed courage. During the filming process, it was naturally beyond imagination.

The scene in Paris was filmed very smoothly, and this part was Xu Zhiyuan's happiest part.

Just knowing that he can build a city in a dream, Ali Redney's soaring emotions are the rare sunshine in the whole script.Although it is not a good thing to act recklessly, and it eventually attracted Mel's knife, but this part of the filming was really cool!

Although there are no special effects in the shooting, it is a bit boring.However, the feeling of "the world is in my hands" kept Xu Zhiyuan in high spirits from the beginning to the end.

This is also Ali Redney's feeling. Because of this feeling, although she was shocked back to reality by Mel's knife and left for a while, in the end she still chose to come back as Cobb expected.

This exciting feeling that I am the ruler of all things in the dream is really hard for people to refuse.

After finishing the shooting of the filming, the crew rushed to the UK.

Here in London, there will be several important scenes to be filmed, one will be filmed at the University of London, and the other will be in Cardington, London.

The hangar there has been remodeled, and a corridor capable of rotating 360 degrees has been built. This corridor will be an important battlefield for Joseph, and his most important weightless fighting scene will be staged here.

In addition to this corridor, there is another hotel room built on a large see-saw.It is said to be a seesaw, but it is actually two large support columns.

Xu Zhiyuan has never studied architecture or art, so she can't fully understand how difficult it is to build these two buildings, but this does not prevent her from thinking that these two scenes are really cool to build.

As soon as they arrived at the scene, the entire crew went crazy. Although the corridor fight scene was really nothing to them, they lined up and jumped up the corridor one by one to try that wonderful feeling.

In the corridor, at some angles, they are obviously on a plane, but in terms of visual effects, they feel that they are on a three-dimensional level.

They really have a magical feeling on the scene, and you can imagine what kind of effect it will be when shooting.

As for the weightless room, it is even more related to the shooting of the entire crew.

In this room, they will be bounced around under the simulated weightlessness effect. This shooting is also somewhat difficult, not only the possible dangers, but the most important thing is to ensure that they remain in a coma in this state. Moreover, it will not appear on the screen, and every position, including the location of the camera, must be carefully calculated.

After trying this room and corridor, Xu Zhiyuan really felt that in the scenes she had filmed, no scene could compare with these two places.

However, for the shooting in the hangar, Joseph took the lead, while Xu Zhiyuan's shooting was at University College London.

This university ranked among the top five in the world is Nolan's alma mater, and it is also the place where he met his wife Emma. Because of a kind of unspoken but sympathetic emotion, Nolan photographed this college very well. extremely beautiful.

Although Xu Zhiyuan has hardly attended any school seriously for more than two months, and now she has directly dropped out of school, but this university really makes her feel very close.

"I know that my grandmother is from London. Although I know very little about her, I always feel a strange intimacy when I walk through the streets and the campus."

This feeling really comes from this current body.

In her previous life, she didn't come to London many times, and she was used to the fast pace of New York's financial street. For her, the pace of London was too slow, which always gave her an unrealistic sense of antiquity.

But now, she likes this elegant and leisurely feeling so much, especially on campus.

In this life, she is still working hard in her career, but in life, she really likes this kind of leisurely life. Only in this kind of life can she really feel like she is enjoying life.

In London, people reading books can be seen everywhere. In this atmosphere, it is really easy to be infected, let alone shooting in a library.

Xu Zhiyuan did not go out of the library during the break between filming and took a book on the shelf in the library, sitting in the best position of the sun, feeling the sunshine pouring into the window, radiating her warmth, Xun Ran wants to be drunk.

After sitting for a while, she realized that the book she picked up was not a book, but a picture book.Graduate Yearbook of the University of London.

The cover is very old, it should have been a long, long time ago, and looking at the time, it was in 1950, nearly a sixty years ago, 60 years ago.

It's been a long, long time.

Flipping through the pages, looking at the youthful faces in those black and white photos, Xu Zhiyuan felt an indescribable feeling.The faces left in the memory are still so young, even though the photos are a little yellowish, but the smiles are still so bright.

However, the people in the photos are now old people with children and grandchildren around their knees, with old faces and tired bodies. All the youth has been wasted in the years and life. Only in these photos can we find the youth and beauty of the past.

When she gets old, she probably has to look for her young face in her memory, right? !

After sighing, Xu Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing.

Now, she has already made a lot of money!Now she is already a miracle!What are you still thinking about?However, only people like her who have matured before will think about what will happen when they are old when they are 20 years old, right?

Turning a page, her eyes fell on a photo, and her eyes widened.

This photo - so familiar!

Looking at the names below, Xu Zhiyuan couldn't help saying "Yeah", and then she hurriedly covered her mouth and turned her head to apologize.

Linda Ackerman!

It's a familiar name, from Zhang Hui's family, the source of Xu Zhiyuan's mixed blood, her maternal grandmother.

Although this young face is somewhat different from the photos she has seen, it can still be seen that it is a person.

sky!She never knew that her grandmother had studied at the University of London - and, see note below, at the Department of Art.

Before she was born, her maternal grandmother had died in a car accident. Together with her maternal grandfather, it was precisely because of the death of both parents that Zhang Hui had no family support when she filed for divorce. In the end, she had to leave Korea alone and came to the United States.

She had heard Zhang Hui talk about her grandmother, but in Zhang Hui's memory, her mother was just a virtuous wife and a gentle mother.

Although she is very beautiful, she is just an ordinary woman, but now, what she sees is not so ordinary.

When Emma sat over, Xu Zhiyuan put the illustration book in front of her directly, and asked directly: "Emma, ​​can you do me a favor? I want to know about this lady—no matter what it is, if It would be nice to have a picture of her or something."

After looking carefully, Emma suddenly said "ha", "This one, I have an impression! A senior from the Drama Department once introduced this to me. Her plays are still kept in the Drama Department." What about the costume! I heard that if you play Juliet in her costume, she will definitely become popular."

"Linda—famous? An actress?"

"Actor? No! I heard that she disappeared after graduation, and no one knows where she went. Some people said that if Linda became an actress, she might be another Ingrid Bowman! I heard that at that time, She is really the most popular girl in the entire academy, and she has attracted a lot of votes—I really don’t know who captured her heart and made her disappear on the stage willingly..."

"A very gentle oriental man..." Xu Zhiyuan whispered, thinking about it, she couldn't help laughing.

In the stories she heard, her grandfather was just an ordinary businessman, but in Zhang Hui's eyes, her father was the kindest father in the world.

Maybe it was this kindness that made Linda marry Dongfang?

Leaving the familiar place, giving up the beloved stage, just like that, I am willing to live an ordinary life for the rest of my life.

"This is - my grandmother." She whispered, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Should I say that she made the right choice?Or to put it another way, this body itself carries that kind of desire, right?From her flesh and blood, she yearns for the stage like this!

Such an unexpected discovery made her feel that she had inherited some unexpected wealth!So precious, so amazing.It was as if I had suddenly found the root of everything.

"Maybe it's not just my choice!"

This dream has continued since half a century ago, right?And, it will go on and on and on and on...
