Chapter 44 There is no way out if you have a dream

"In Seoul alone, there are more than 200 universities with acting departments, and there are many young people who are working hard every day to pursue their dreams. Su Yan took a shallow sip of juice and sighed softly.

Jiang Chao was silent, he didn't expect Su Yan's dream chasing road to be so difficult.

At this time, they were in a dessert shop.

But Su Yan then laughed again: "But it's okay, I think it's quite fulfilling." Singing and dancing every day is something I like. ”

In fact, what makes those young people who are working the road to their dreams the most powerless is not how tired and hard the days are, but that they don't know anything about the future.

The content of their chat is mainly focused on Su Yan's life in South Korea, so most of the time it is Su Yan who is talking, Jiang Chao and Ding Xuan ask a question or two from time to time, and Lee Eun-joo doesn't speak much most of the time, but she listens very carefully and will nod, frown, and sigh from time to time.

"Our company has a total of 7 floors, 3 underground and 4 above ground. The company's top management is above ground, and the ground floor is where the trainees train. ”

Su Yan said embarrassedly: "I don't think the living environment arranged by the company is very good, so I rented a house outside." Hehe, either I can't endure hardship, or I don't want to endure this kind of hardship. ”

Jiang Chao and Ding Xuan both laughed, they knew that Su Yan's father was a fairly good big boss in China, and the living expenses he gave her every month were higher than the income of most well-known Korean entertainment stars.

"But let's be honest...... I'm pretty confused right now. Su Yan sighed.

"How do you ......?" Jiang Chao asked.

"We didn't have the period before our official debut, so it should be called the waiting period. Most people will be eliminated during this period. But even if we survive and achieve a phased victory, it is only the first step in the long march. The mechanism of the Korean entertainment industry is very different from that in China, and the control of its artists is very strict. ”

"The most disgusting thing is that the contract is signed for more than ten years, and the entire youth is dedicated to the company, and the company's commission ratio is very large. ”

Jiang Chao frowned, and Ding Xuan interjected directly: "Then you just go back to China to develop! I think the country is also very good." ”

Su Yan hesitated: "It's not like I haven't thought about it...... But you can really learn a lot of skills over there, and ......" Su Yan glanced at Li Eunzhu before continuing: "The friends over there make me a little reluctant. So, I don't think I'll be going back to China for the time being. ”

Jiang Chao noticed that when Li Enzhu heard Ding Xuan suggest that Su Yan return to China for development, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and when he heard Su Yan make it clear that he would not return to China for the time being, he calmed down a little more, and just bit his lip lightly.

"Alas...... Forget it, let's stop talking about such a heavy topic. Let's talk about Jiang Chao!" Ding Xuan saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, so he took the initiative to change the topic.

"Huh, talk about me?" Jiang Chao was stunned.

Su Yan's eyes lit up: "That's it." This time, I took a special leave to watch Jiang Chao's game!"

Ding Xuan smiled evilly: "Competition, I'm afraid Jiang Chao will be taken away by those girls!"

Jiang Chao rolled his eyes, and then squinted at Ding Xuan.

Su Yan laughed: "Ah, does anyone like Jiang Chao again? Tell me about it!"

Jiang Chao sighed.

Ding Xuan smiled and began to add fuel and vinegar to the conversation.

Su Yan laughed while listening: "Haha, you are still so attractive." ”

Jiang Chao spread his hands, "I'm also helpless......"

......

The four of them sat down for a while, ready to go to dinner. Before leaving, Li Enzhu stood up, and Su Yan immediately grabbed Li Enzhu when she saw it: "Where are you going?"

Li Enzhu hesitated, but still said honestly: "You paid for the air ticket and accommodation, I'll pay for this!"

Su Yan hurriedly shook her head, giving Jiang Chao a look.

Jiang Chao came to his senses and was about to get up, but was held down by Ding Xuan on the shoulder.

Ding Xuan had already stood up, and he smiled: "What are you all talking about, Kyoto is my territory, and I can still make you pay?"

Jiang Chao laughed and said to Li Enzhu: "It's okay, let Ding Xuan go." ”

Ding Xuan had already passed, and Li Enzhu hurriedly chased after him: "No! I'll treat you here!"

When the two of them walked away, Su Yan sighed, "To be honest, I didn't expect the situation of the stars over there to be so bad before I arrived in Korea." ”

"Lee Eun-joo is my roommate and the first friend I met over there, and she is very kind and righteous, so I have always had a good relationship with her. ”

"Her family is not very well-off, her parents are ordinary salarymen, and she has two younger sisters to take care of. ”

"She's not a trainee, she's an actress. To be honest, you may not think that she has actually played many small roles, and if she were in our country, she would probably already be a small star with an assistant. But in order to make a living, she has to work part-time everywhere, and I have been to their shop, and she has to put the coffee in front of the customers in the most standard squatting position, and she has to do a lot of tedious work. ”

Jiang Chao was stunned when he heard this, and then glanced back at the direction of Ding Xuan and Li Enzhu, and was silent.

Su Yan continued: "The last time she filmed was last year. I don't know much about acting, she said that it is difficult to get a role, even if it is a small supporting role, she has to interview more than a dozen times before and after, and the director will constantly remind her how many people are competing with her for that role. ”

In the days when there was no filming, Lee Eun-joo waited for a call from her agent every day, hoping to join the crew as soon as possible...... Alas. ”

"Recently her sister was sick and needed a lot of medical bills, I told her not to panic, everything will be fine, I lent her a lot of money, and then she didn't pay for the rent. She's a pretty self-respecting girl, and if it weren't really difficult, she wouldn't have accepted it. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chao also sighed: "That's why you don't plan to return to China for a short time?

Su Yan laughed: "You, don't say too much to me...... I also have selfish intentions, she is very virtuous, very good at cooking, usually in the rented apartment, I am lazy, cleaning, cooking these things are done by Eun-joo, so I am quite reluctant to her. ”

"What about you...... What's next?"

Su Yan was silent again, she thought for a while: "I don't know...... Do you have any suggestions?"

What advice can Jiang Chao have? He is only a high school student now, and he may not be able to see the problem better than Su Yan, so he is also silent.

There are many, many young people like Lee Eun-joo and Su Yeon in Seoul, who stop at the entrance of the entertainment industry and wait for the opportunity to step in. Even if Su Yan can't get in, there is still a way back - and even she may be better off going backwards than going forward, but more young people like Lee Eun-joo are there.

Young people who have dreams, but don't necessarily have a way out.
