Recommended songs: O.N.E--- Too.Little.Too.Late

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Li Zhunyi kept playing with the mobile phone in his hand, his face was covered with hesitation, it could be seen that he was restless at the moment, completely lacking the calm and natural nature when he took promotional photos before, and he also lost his usual sunny confidence, at this moment he was just a child under the age of nineteen.

The promotional photos of "Palace" have all been produced, and tomorrow is the production press conference of the new drama, which means that everything is settled, and Lee Joon-yi is about to become a real actor. After the press conference, the crew will collectively move to the studio in the suburbs, and the film will officially start in the afternoon. MBC is tentatively scheduled to broadcast this big production at the end of this year or in January next year, but it is now the end of October, and it must start to catch up. If everything goes well, at least eight episodes or so need to be filmed before the official broadcast, so as to ensure that the progress of filming and broadcasting will not be chaotic in the future.

Now that everything has been decided, it means that Lee Joon-yi can finally make his debut. The moment he has been looking forward to comes, but Lee Joon-yi seems a little uneasy, not uncertain about the future, nor afraid of debut, but this uneasiness comes from his family.

Scholarly door is the best adjective for Li Zhunyi's family. His father, Li Chaoyang, is a university professor who is quite authoritative in corporate cultural exchanges. Mother Lin Xuan is a well-known writer and is very accomplished in women's literature. A strict father and mother, a well-behaved son, is such a family of three. Li Chaoyang is a serious father, like a traditional Chinese father, who dominates the family and is responsible for important decisions in the family; Lin Xuan, in addition to her own writing life, is also a good wife and mother, and she handles all the affairs of the family, large and small, and is also the financial manager of the family. In his spare time, Li Chaoyang writes papers, reads newspapers, and makes tea, which is all his leisure life, while Lin Xuan puts most of his energy on Li Zhunyi's son, and only when he is idle will he type a magical text on the computer keyboard. As for Li Zhunyi, he is well-behaved and obedient, has a sunny personality, excels in his studies, respects his parents, and has complete etiquette. Such a son never needs to worry about his parents.

Such a family is very plain, but it is ordinary and happy, and envy others.

It's just that this dullness was broken because Lee Joon-yi successfully stood out from the S.M company draft. Li Zhunyi participated in this draft, and Li Chaoyang and Lin Xuan both agreed. They all know that this son doesn't have too many hobbies after school, in addition to reading books and skateboarding, that is, singing. There is nothing wrong with participating in a large-scale event, which can be regarded as a long insight, and enriching the experience. However, neither Li Chaoyang nor Lin Xuan thought of it, and even Li Zhunyi himself did not expect it, so he was selected.

After knowing the conditions of S.M, he went to South Korea as a trainee and signed a contract for three years, but there was no guarantee that he would be able to make his debut. Li Chaoyang was the first to object, singing as an after-school hobby, he has no objection, but if you want to spend three years, or even more time on this, to gamble on an unknown future, Li Chaoyang is resolutely opposed. As a well-known professor, although Li Chaoyang is a little rigid, he is not stubborn, otherwise he would not let Li Zhunyi participate in the competition. But if Lee Joon-yi gives up his studies and goes to South Korea alone, and it is for a career like becoming an artist without any guarantees, he will never agree. Li Chaoyang will not ask Li Zhunyi to go to the future according to his arrangement, and he also hopes that Li Zhunyi can create a future of his own. But in this future, it will definitely not be an artist.

Lin Xuan's first reaction was also against it, in addition to the fact that the future of the artist was too uncertain, she was more worried about her son's life abroad alone, and it was a hard life as a trainee, and more importantly, South Korea is not an English-speaking country, Li Zhunyi's English is very good, there is no problem in going to an English-speaking country, but South Korea is not.

What kind of parents there are, what kind of children there are. Like Li Chaoyang and Lin Xuan, Li Zhunyi has always been very clear about what he is doing, and he also knows what he wants, he also knows what he can and can't do, and what is worth fighting for once and what is not worth it. Li Zhunyi, who looks sunny and easy to compromise on the outside, is as stubborn as Li Chaoyang in his bones, and Li Zhunyi is willing to fight hard for this opportunity.

It took Li Zhunyi a month to convince Lin Xuan to let Lin Xuan let go of his worries as a mother and choose to support. But Li Chaoyang still couldn't pass that level. In the end, it was Lin Xuan who came out and persuaded Li Chaoyang and did not resolutely oppose it. But even so, Li Chaoyang still opposes Li Zhun Yi's future set on the profession of an artist, so until Li Zhun Yi goes abroad, Li Chaoyang's attitude towards Li Zhun Yi is very cold, which makes Li Zhun Yi very sad.

Soon after Li Zhunyi went abroad, Li Chaoyang accepted an invitation from a university in the United States to be a visiting professor in California. Li Zhunyi has worked hard in South Korea for nearly four years, and Li Chaoyang and Lin Xuan have also lived in the United States for three and a half years. During these years, one was in South Korea and the other was in the United States, even during the Chinese New Year, and in the blink of an eye, Lee Joon-yi had not seen his parents for almost four years. Li Zhunyi and Lin Xuan's calls are very frequent, almost once a week, but there are very few calls with Li Chaoyang, almost only on holidays Li Chaoyang will answer Li Zhunyi's calls, but even so, the phone will be stopped if he can't say a few words. Li Zhunyi knew that his father was still angry with him.

Looking at the phone in his hand, Li Zhunyi was very nervous. I'm about to make my debut, and I'm finally coming out. But Li Zhunyi knows that this is only the first step, there is still a long, long way to go to success, and it is still unknown whether he can reach it. A singer, an actor, there are countless artists who disappear in a flash of inspiration, Li Zhunyi understands that Li Chaoyang's worries have always been right, there are too many uncertainties in the profession of artists, and it is precisely because of the great expectations of Li Zhunyi that he hates iron and steel so much. This also made Lee Joon-yi even more guilty and more panicked.

After much hesitation, the phone was dialed out, and according to the time difference, it should be morning breakfast time in the United States. Lee Joon-yi can even paint a picture of the home scene in his mind, his mother sitting in the kitchen with breakfast, his father sitting on the sofa in the hall flipping through today's newspaper, and maybe the old gramophone at home is still playing melodious music. The only thing missing from such a familiar picture is that you should wash yourself in the bathroom. The corners of his mouth tugged at a bitter smile, and he chose this hard road, although he didn't regret it, he had too many regrets.

In a trance, the phone was answered, and a fluent and pure English came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, I'm Chaoyang Li, who are you looking for?"

It's the father.

Li Zhunyi's throat suddenly seemed to be stuck, and he paused for a moment before squeezing out a word, "Dad......" The voice was a little tight and trembling. Unexpectedly, it was Li Chaoyang who answered the phone in person today, which caught Li Zhun Yi off guard, "I'm Xiao Yi." ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone, almost making Li Zhunyi think that when Li Chaoyang put the phone down, "Oh, what's the matter?" There was a squirting sound of the newspaper being put down on the other end of the phone, and Li Chaoyang's mellow voice did not fluctuate too much, and asked simply.

"Well, that's right. Li Zhunyi nervously wiped the sweat from his palms, "Dad, I have officially confirmed the male lead in a TV series." Tomorrow is the press conference, and then filming will begin. The TV series should start airing at the end of the year or in January of next year. I want to say, I want to tell you and Mom. Li Zhunyi poured out all the words he had prepared in one breath, and only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and about two seconds later, Li Chaoyang's voice came again. "Yes, I see. Li Chaoyang's voice, across the Pacific Ocean, was a little blurry through the telephone line, and the flatness in his tone made Li Zhunyi a little disappointed.

Although Li Zhunyi knew that Li Chaoyang would not react much, even if it was just a little hope, a little extravagant hope, Li Zhun Yi hoped that his father would show some concern, even if it was just a sentence of "come on" and a sentence of "do it well", Li Zhun Yi would feel full of strength. But after waiting for nearly four years, I still haven't waited for this sentence.

"I'll change your mother to listen to the phone. Li Chaoyang ended the conversation succinctly.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't a conversation, it was more like a debriefing, and it was a debriefing that didn't get any response.

"Lin Xuan, Xiao Yi's phone. Li Chaoyang's voice came from far away from the microphone, and it was not very clear. Then he heard a murmur from the other end of the microphone, and then Lin Xuan's familiar voice rang in his ears.

"Xiao Yi, why did you hang up the phone at this time?" Lin Xuan's rhythm of speaking was unhurried, and his voice contained the warmth that belonged to his mother, which made the lowness on Li Zhunyi's face gradually disappear, and the smile hung on the corner of his mouth at some point. "How are you there, do you have a cold or something? The last time I hung up the phone, didn't I say that my mouth ulcerated, okay?" In front of Li Zhunyi, Lin Xuan did not have the image of a capable housewife at all, let alone the shrewdness of a well-known writer, she was completely a nagging mother, "The weather has been changing recently, I read the weather forecast that it has been raining there in South Korea, do you know if you pay attention to your clothes?"

Li Zhunyi did not have a trace of impatience for his mother's nagging, but answered patiently, and the smile on his face unconsciously bloomed. The warmth of the family is the power that makes Lee Joon-yi feel at ease at all times.

"Mom, your son is going to act in a TV series, and he is the male number one, hehe. Different from telling Li Chaoyang just now, Li Zhunyi is really like a child at this moment, and the excitement in his tone makes people hear his happiness at once, "A press conference will be held tomorrow, and then filming will officially start." I've been busy memorizing lines and stuff lately, and I'm really tired of saying it. ”

"Really, really?" Lin Xuan's voice raised a few degrees, and that excitement could be felt even across the phone and across the Pacific Ocean, Li Zhunyi could really feel it, "Great, what kind of TV series? When will it start, Mom will also go to the live broadcast in the United States." ”

After talking to Lin Xuan for nearly half an hour, he hung up the phone, and Li Zhunyi said everything that happened recently, like a child who was in a hurry to show off, and couldn't wait for praise. Lin Xuan didn't skimp on his praise at all, and the two mothers and sons were laughing from ear to ear while holding the phone. Lin Xuan explained the things to pay attention to when going to work, such as politeness, such as asking if you don't understand. After repeated admonitions, the call ended.

Touching the slightly hot mobile phone in his hand, Li Zhunyi took a deep breath, and that confident smile appeared on his face again.

Today's first update. Good evening everyone, the results of the graduation exam in mid-September came out today, and the seven cats passed the test smoothly, and then only the thesis remains, hehe, sprinkle flowers.
