His head really hurt, and Ji Mingzhe opened his eyes to find that he was still lying in the school dormitory. This is the dormitory of the New York University Film School in the United States, and he has been in the United States for several years! Chi Mingzhe came to the United States from Busan, South Korea to make a living with his father at the age of twelve, and at first lived in the Korean American neighborhood of Los Angeles, and his father found a job in Silicon Valley, often leaving early and returning late, so since then Ji Mingzhe has learned to live independently. Father Chi Zhengming is a software engineer graduated from the California Institute of Technology with a major in computer science, and was going to continue his studies when he had a good future, but he couldn't extricate himself from Xin Congnan, who was also from Seoul, South Korea, and studied music at the Juilliard School in the United States. It's bloody to say, mainly because Chi Mingzhe's grandmother's family is a rich family, and they are very opposed to this marriage. Ji Zhengming was born as an orphan and was sponsored by the Catholic Church in Busan since he was a child, and although he graduated from the world's top universities, known as the cradle of scientists, he was just a promising poor boy in the eyes of Ji Mingzhe's grandmother's family. Since his parents divorced, Chi Mingzhe has become much more sensible, although he is young, he often watches his father smoking a cigarette and looking out of the window in a daze, Chi Mingzhe begins to secretly hate his mother who abandoned him. Then his father took Chi Mingzhe back to Busan and opened a software studio with a few friends, but the benefits have been bad and they broke up after two years, but his father knew very well that it was Chi Mingzhe's grandmother's family from behind that who wanted to force Chi Zhengming to leave South Korea, and his father thought about it overnight and resolutely took Chi Mingzhe to the United States, and Chi Mingzhe vowed not to recognize his mother again in this life.

At this time, Chi Mingzhe was lying on the bed in the dormitory, rubbing his temples with a faint pain, and took out his mobile phone to look at the time: "At 17:07 p.m. on April 5, 1997, the Asian economic and financial crisis has begun?", Chi Mingzhe was stunned: "How do I know about the Asian economic and financial crisis? Could it be that last night's dream?". This year, 21-year-old Chi Mingzhe came to the United States because his father was busy with work, often alone at home and had nothing to do, rented back a large number of movies and videos from the street to watch, and gradually Chi Mingzhe fell in love with watching videos and fell in love with the movie industry, he is very envious of the characters in the movie can experience all kinds of life in the movie, as well as life and death, pain and happiness. For this reason, Ji Mingzhe decided to become a movie actor in the future, but Ji Mingzhe's appearance can only be above average in the eyes of Asians, his height is only about 1.75 meters at the moment, I don't know if it will exceed 1.8 meters in the future, his face is fair, his lips are thin, fortunately, his face is narrow, and his eyes are relatively rare in Koreans, and his double eyelids are large and bright, inherited from his mother. This appearance may be an ordinary movie actor in Asia, but in the United States, it is difficult to stand out compared with those handsome men and women who want to be actors, and through the communication between guò and playmates and books, Chi Mingzhe knows that the world in the movie is created by the screenwriter and director, and since then Chi Mingzhe has completely fallen in love with the screenwriter and director. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the New York University Film School with excellent grades, mainly studying directing and screenwriting. There is still a year to graduate, but his father died of pancreatic cancer three days ago, Chi Mingzhe is very sad to come to the United States and rely on his father for his life, no matter how busy his father is, he will find time to care about his studies and life. Now that he is alone in this world, Chi Mingzhe and a few good classmates go to the bar to indulge, and he is drunk and sent back to the dormitory and almost falls into a coma, accompanied by intense tinnitus and headaches, a strange and familiar memory rushes into his mind. This is a small life memory of an old otaku living in China: that person's name is Xiao Bowen, and his very elegant name used to be young and frivolous, and his eyes were empty. It's a pity that the eyes are low and there is no background, when the business failed at the age of 30, he was going to live with little money left, but he was unwilling to partner with his uncle to lend, and as a result, the borrower ran away, and his uncle disappeared, Xiao Bowen also had to borrow usury from others because of bank loans, and finally he was unable to support it, and he followed in the footsteps of the borrower and his uncle and started a running career. During that six-year runaway career, Xiao Bowen tried to numb himself by reading various travel novels on the website, watching a large number of movies from various countries, and listening to a large number of songs every day, but his heart was full of bitterness and hesitation. Even fantasized about going back to 1998 and taking advantage of the Asian economic and financial crisis to make a windfall, and once fantasized about using the windfall earned by the economic and financial crisis to invest in real estate in South Korea, open economic companies, invest in Korean movies, and discover those future Hallyu stars to dominate Korean entertainment and then lead its stars to Hollywood in the United States. Yes, this 40-year-old ** uncle loves Hallyu and loves Hollywood movies. I once thought about going to South Korea, although I didn't make the trip because of my lack of money, Xiao Bowen is familiar with the movies, TV series, idol groups, movie stars and songs in Hallyu, and he is also obsessed with Hollywood movies, but he has no love for Hallyu variety shows. Finally, during the National Day in October 2015, due to staying up late to read novels and movies, he was too tired to induce a myocardial infarction and collapsed in front of the computer desk, ending his life full of tragedy. Thinking of this, Chi Mingzhe, who was still lying on the bed, had tears in the corners of his eyes, and he didn't know why the tears were shed, maybe for his father or for Xiao Bowen in his memory, but he knew deeply at this time that the movies and songs that Xiao Bowen had watched and listened to were his greatest wealth in this life. "Thank you, you may be my past life, I'll help you complete those fantasies of yours!" Ji Mingzhe muttered.

Walking into the bathroom pool, Mingzhe was ready to take a shower, and was sent back to the dormitory by his classmates last night, and he was directly put on the bed, and he was uncomfortable at this moment. At this moment, Chi Mingzhe, who is 1.85 meters tall, couldn't help humming a song in his mouth, and his mood was much more relaxed under the hot water, "Hmm!" Chi Mingzhe suddenly realized that the song he was humming was "baby" by Xiao Zhengtai Justin in the future, "It seems that those memories have been imprinted in my brain." Ji Mingzhe shook his head. Just after changing clothes, the door of the dormitory was opened, and a large white man of nearly 1.9 meters came in, "Hey, man, are you better?" Martin, a classmate and roommate, said with concern, "It's much better, thank you! Martin, can you tell me where you were hanging out this night?" "Oh! William! We were tired last night!" After sending you off, we found another bar to continue, and then we went back to Tony's dormitory to play games, and then we spent the night there, listening to me say that William will pass every day, and think that the sun will rise tomorrow on the bright side", Martin looked at Ji Mingzhe seriously. "I know man, thank you, are you hungry?" Chi Mingzhe said gratefully, after coming to the United States, Chi Mingzhe named himself William Chi in English, which sounds a little strange; I'll take a shower first!" "No problem! man!". Ji Mingzhe, who was lying on the bed after ordering takeout, said to Martin, who had just come out of the bathroom, "Martin, do you want to make money? Martin looked at Ji Mingzhe stunned, "Now that there is a mess in Asia, how about we speculate on some currency?" "That will cost a lot of money, William! And if you are not careful, it will be all over" Martin worried, "Don't worry, I will be careful, and we are not entering now and have to wait until the end of November or so." "Yes, Ji Mingzhe saw the opportunity to snipe the won at the end of this year, that is, from mid-November to mid-December 1997, "I have to find a way to raise money, if not, sell the house left by my father? plus my father's insurance money should be enough, this opportunity cannot be missed, I have to bring a large amount of money back to South Korea in the future, otherwise many plans will not be realized, I think my father will forgive me." Ji Mingzhe seemed to be defending himself.

The time soon came to the end of October, during which Ji Mingzhe returned to Los Angeles to sell his family's house: a two-story villa of nearly 300 square meters, to a real estate agent, and of course, it was sold to a Korean immigrant family who had just arrived in the United States, because this community is a Korean American gathering area, and people of other races generally do not choose to live in a certain racial gathering area, otherwise it will not only be inconvenient, but there will also be racial contradictions. Accompanied by the Korean immigrant family who had just arrived in the United States to ask questions, he visited the house again, signed the contract under the witness of the real estate agent and the lawyer, and took the check for $350,000 given by the other party. "Big brother, are you going to move away, will you never come again?" Ji Mingzhe turned to look at the girl named Jessica, the eldest daughter who was only 8 years old and lived in the neighbor's house across the road, and was in a trance, yes! After fusing Xiao Bowen's memory, he remembered and recognized that this little girl would be Jessica Zheng Xiuyan in the Korean idol group "Girls' Generation", and her 3-year-old sister at home, Zheng Xiujing, who would be a member of the group in the future, squatted down and showed a gentle smile, Chi Mingzhe reached out and touched Jessica's head, "Yes!" My brother is moving away, Jessica has to listen to her mother more!", after coming to the United States, I didn't live here at first, but since moving to this community, the neighbors are all Korean, so they often move around and communicate with each other, so the relationship is very good, and even Jessica's mother has to introduce a girlfriend to Chi Zhengming, in her opinion, it is not okay to have a hostess at home, of course, in the end, Chi Zhengming politely refused. "Let's go, I'll take you home and say goodbye to your parents. Ji Mingzhe took Jessica to her house. teased Xiao Xiujing, who was still cowering in her mother's arms, the male owner was not at home, so Chi Mingzhe and Zheng's mother left each other's mobile phone numbers to prepare to leave. "Mingzhe, what are you going to do in the future?" Zheng's mother said with concern, "I'll make good plans when I graduate, maybe I'll go back to South Korea in the future." Chi Mingzhe looked at the Jessica sisters and said meaningfully, "Yes, you have to take care of yourself alone! I didn't expect your father to leave so soon, and your Uncle Zheng and I are very sad." Zheng's mother's eyes were red, "I will take good care of myself, please rest assured, please help me talk to my uncle." I'm leaving!" Ji Mingzhe bowed and turned to leave, "If you have any difficulties, remember to call!" Mother Zheng said behind her. "Yes!" Ji Mingzhe got into a taxi and went straight to the airport.
