Gaiden Metropolis Life (7) "Love Shake"
Although Amy spent most of her spare time in compulsory education practicing ballet. But she also has friends in Hanyang, many of whom she met at art and sports schools.
Most of her classmates from art and sports schools are going to eat this line of food, and most of them are continuing their studies in order to enter a dance troupe or become a dance teacher in an educational institution in the future, and some have been discovered by talent scouts and entered the entertainment company that packages stars.
Amy had made an appointment to meet her general friend before, and Lin Yilong's sudden arrival caused her schedule to collide, and after asking Lin Yilong's permission, she came with him to meet her friend - because of this friend's relationship, Amy arranged a tour for Lin Yilong to visit the "idol training center".
Lin Yilong's lack of interest in modern popular art is largely due to the difficulty and depth of the technique he pursued when learning the piano, both of which are not reflected in the performance of modern popular art repertoire.
Because of the superiority of his classical piano technique over popular music in terms of difficulty, Lin Yilong did not look down on modern popular music—so he would go to ballets and dramas, go to the theater to listen to operas and symphonies, and join in the excitement of concerts and musicals, but he would never listen to rock and rap: naturally he would not have any interest in the "mass production" of East Asian idols.
However, despite the different styles, there are very similar training methods - young people who make idols a career are very busy, in addition to the need to show their faces and promote the things that promote fame, rehearsals are also mainstream, but there are too many fame projects on the weekday schedule to be busier than Amy, in contrast, Amy only needs to practice the dance according to the requirements of the artistic director, and work on every dance step and performance. If there is any difference between the two, it can only be said that the modern popular style is difficult to form, and the success depends entirely on the recognition of the market, and the classical things have been stereotyped in all aspects, and success requires the approval of some "more professionals".
"Amy, how about you dance modern dance?" Lin Yilong was waiting for her friend with Amy outside the practice room, and just saw the other groups rehearsing the dance, and asked Amy this question.
"No problem at all. Amy replied confidently.
"That.... From a professional point of view, how do you think they danced?" Lin Yilong threw the question to Amy.
"How to put it, although I work very hard and I am not talented, I still need to train harder in my dancing skills. Amy thought for a moment, "If it weren't for the delay in catching up with the announcement, they might have been able to enter those professional dance companies at their level." ”
"Hey, which team are you from, dare to comment on the seniors like that. Because in a slightly narrow hallway, even the slightest voice could be heard, and a fierce girl in her early 20s yelled at Amy very unceremoniously.
"Sorry, I was just passing through. Amy immediately bowed her head and apologized, without the slightest self-consciousness of a rising ballet star. It seems that when people here encounter anything that is stained with the ranking of seniors and juniors, their attitudes are immediately different.
As has already been mentioned, the language of the language of this country has honorifics—and they are divided into several levels according to the difference in status, in addition to the highest honorifics that require word conjugations to converse with the highest person of rank and seniority, there are also honorifics that do not require word conjugations for ordinary elders or dignitaries, quasi-honorifics for dialogue with peers and elders, and non-honorifics for peers or juniors.
Take Amy as an example, when she talks to her grandparents, she can only use the highest honorific with word change, when she talks to her parents, she can change respect without words, if she talks to Lin Yilong, it is a quasi-honorific, and if she is familiar with a friend she is about to meet, she can use a quasi-honorific to express politeness or a non-honorific to express intimacy.
Unless you don't know the status of the other party and use general honorifics, people who know each other generally have to distinguish the form of honorifics that can determine the level of the elder and the younger, which has evolved into a natural oppressive force.
"Please don't disturb others practicing. Lin Yilong stood up and said softly to the ignorant girl in front of him, "This is the basic quality of a civilized person. ”
Seeing Lin Yilong's age and speaking temperament, the ignorant girl thought it was a middle-level member of the club, and immediately blushed and left in a hurry.
"We don't eat in this club, why do you care about her?" and when the girl's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Lin Yilong reprimanded Amy, "You have been in London for four years, so you have to be confident in yourself." ”
Amy nodded.
At this time, Amy's friend finally belatedly appeared in front of the two.
The visitor didn't look bad, but he obviously felt that he had used a knife on his face, but it was cleverly covered.
The girl gestured to follow her.
Outside, two girls who had been reunited for a long time hugged each other.
"Long time no see, Amy!"
"This is Brother Yilong!" Amy didn't make too many introductions, and then introduced her friend to Lin Yilong, "An Xuanzhu, my good friend." ”
Lin Yilong and An Xuanzhu shook each other lightly in a friendly manner.
"In that case, don't mind if I bring a senior. Ahn Hyun Joo immediately picked up her phone and confirmed to Amy.
"No problem. Although I don't know how good Amy's friend is in English, the word "no problem" should be understood.
"He's right over there at the barbecue we're going to, so we'll just go there. An Xuanzhu pulled Amy very generously and walked towards the barbecue restaurant.
Lin Yilong likes to eat barbecue, and it is one of his reservations to invite people to dinner at a Korean barbecue restaurant in London, but he doesn't like the locals who meet new acquaintances and take them to the barbecue restaurant.
A boy with a baseball cap was already waiting at the table, so Lin Yilong and they sat down and couldn't help but re-introduce them.
The twenty-year-old boy's name is Kim Eun-chul, and Ahn Hyun-joo are members of an idol boy group of a media club - the two are secretly dating, because Amy is practicing classical ballet in London and has no conflict of interest with them, so they appear together as a couple.
A few met for the first time, although they didn't drink any alcoholic beverages, but between pushing the glass and changing the lamp, the atmosphere was quite warm.
At the end of the line, Kim Eun-chul complained to Lim Eui-ryong about the difficulties of the idol group in his private life - in order to make money with fame, he must "guard himself like jade and be flawless in words and deeds", and he is almost crushed by such a life.
"Forgive me for my rudeness, and I shouldn't say that, but I think it's better for your relationship to be broken early. Lin Yilong replied on the side, "After all, you are eating this mouthful, this is the scarred path you have chosen, if you want to make money through this profession, you must stick to it - and you just said that as long as you and the Xuanzhu clan have a fame, you must separate." If it affects your 'idol' career at that time, then it is better to break it now, and don't have a closer relationship, that will not be good for anyone. Unless, you don't eat this bite anymore – but I'll say something unpleasant, you're not highly educated right now, and it's hard to find a job that suits you even in the average job market – it's better to stick with it. ”
