Waiting to sit in the large box of karaoke, Zheng Xiyi began to regret it. ONE IS THAT NONE OF THE KOREAN SONGS HE CAN SING HAVE BEEN RELEASED, AND THE MOST RECENT ONE IS "10 Minutes", which Lee Hyo-ri will only release at SOLO next year, and the second is that he never expected that Koreans who pay attention to etiquette would play so high in karaoke. Looking at the little girls and boys dancing in front of him, Zheng Xiyi had a new evaluation of his temperament.

"What are you doing sitting here alone, let's play together!" Bao'er came out of the crowd and hooked her finger at him, Zheng Xiyi really wanted to ask her, that's how S.M's etiquette teacher taught you, right! As soon as he shook his head, he saw Bao'er waving his hand to the trainees behind him, Lin Yun'er and Lee Hyuk-jae rushed up first, one of them took him by the hand and dragged him to the small dance floor, Jin Xiaoyuan and Xu Chanmei went around behind him and pushed him to prevent him from retreating.

Zheng Xiyi smiled bitterly and was surrounded by a group of little girls in the middle of the small dance floor, and looked at Bao'er who was hiding outside and gestured with his hand, "Quan Bao'er, did you want me to make a fool of myself by letting me dance with you in the music and ballad world?"

Bao'er laughed and trembled, it was with this purpose that she instigated the juniors to go up and pull Zheng Xiyi over. She didn't speak, she just gestured with her hand to signal Zheng Xiyi to jump up quickly, and then took the lead in swinging. Zheng Xiyi shook his head, these girls around him were surrounded to death, and he couldn't move to pull them away, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.

"Wow!!!"

"Ah!! Xiyi's senior brittle bones!!"

The little girls waited for Zheng Xiyi to jump up and screamed, not how well Zheng Xiyi danced, Zheng Xiyi only learned break dancing for a few days in junior high school in his previous life, that is, Breaking. But he can't stand the fact that he has been exercising since he was a child in his life, and he has practiced boxing for more than ten years, and the strength and flexibility of the body are actually enough to support dancing, and he has studied music for more than ten years, so the effect of a few movements is really good.

Bao'er stood in the outer circle and watched, and was secretly surprised in her heart, although Zheng Xiyi's movements were not much, there were only seven or eight movements over and over, and the connection was not natural, obviously not professionally trained, but both the sense of rhythm and strength have faintly reached the middle level of the trainees, and the flexibility of the body is also very good, and the movements of the lower waist can be close to parallel to the ground, which is already the flexibility of a professional dancer. Several male trainees also looked at each other, among these four people, Kim Jun-so, Jung Yun-ho and Lee Hyuk-jae are all dance masters among the trainees, compared to professional dancers, although Park Jung-so is not as good as their level, but he has also received many years of professional training, but when it comes to strength and flexibility, Jung Hee-yi is not worse than them.

Zheng Xiyi jumped for more than ten minutes, and finally found a chance to escape from the encirclement of the little girls, and hurriedly returned to the sofa and shrank back, refusing to go up again. Bao'er wiped her sweat and walked over and sat beside him, picked up a drink and took a big sip, let out a long breath, and then turned her head to look at him, "Zheng Xiyi, are you interested in trying to be on the stage?"

"I've been on stage a lot, I've been on a lot of plays, I've been on Broadway. Zheng Xiyi pretended to be confused.

"Don't pretend to be stupid, you know what I mean!" Bao'er wrinkled her nose and glared at him, "I see that your strength and flexibility are very good, and your sense of rhythm and balance is also very good, although I haven't heard you sing, you are full of anger when you speak, your voice is not unpleasant, you are also handsome, you have trained seriously for two years, and there is no problem with your debut in the music industry." ”

Zheng Xiyi saw that Bao'er was talking very seriously, not as if she was joking, so she stopped playing haha, "I know what you said, but I prefer acting, and I really don't have much interest in standing on the stage and accepting the cheers and applause of the fans." I can also get those dazzling brilliance on the stage, I don't have to practice for more than a dozen or even twenty hours a day, I only need to participate in some relaxed variety shows during the publicity period, I don't need to catch up with a dozen trips a day for several months in a row, I can only sleep in the car for three or four hours, and finally, I make more money than singing, why should I choose to be a singer?"

At this time, the trainees had already returned to sit on the sofa one after another, and they were tired after dancing for half an hour, after all, they had been practicing in the company for a day. Listening to Zheng Xiyi's words, everyone fell silent, and Bao'er also pondered quietly, and for a while, only the sound of music was still echoing in the big box.

After being silent for a long time, Bao'er smiled bitterly and nodded, "You're right, with your current achievements and abilities, there is indeed no need to go so hard to sing and run trips, you still make more money than me, and you wouldn't consider being a singer if I were you." ”

Zheng Xiyi turned his head to look at the trainees sitting on the sofa, he didn't know if it was because of the lights in the box, he felt that everyone's faces were a little pale, and he knew that what he had just said hit the dreams and beliefs that they had been holding on to for several years, so he stood up and walked to the console, turned off the music and turned on the lights, and then stood in the middle of the dance floor and opened his mouth to say something.

"Maybe a few of you trainees will suddenly feel unmotivated after listening to what I just said, and have doubts about your future and dreams. I can say the big truth, and I'm quite good at it, but I'm sure you've heard it too much, so I'm not going to say it. But what I'm going to tell you is how to determine whether you want to use the stage as a dream to die or just a tool to make money and live a good life. As you may know, I developed a keen interest in acting at a very young age, and because of my mother, I got to know a lot of directors, screenwriters and actors, so I started to get the opportunity to make cameo appearances. Because of the performance, I was able to say a few lines very quickly, I could have a minute or two of shots, and then there were some small supporting roles, although they were not really supporting roles, but they could appear for four or five minutes and say a dozen lines. Until one day I saw a movie script with a supporting role for a little boy, but the original idea of the screenwriter and director was to use a little white boy, and there were not many scenes, that is, four men and five men. I really wanted to do this movie, but only if I had to convince the director and the screenwriter to change the script and change the white boy to an Asian boy, and change the male fourth who didn't have a lot of roles to male three or even as many scenes as the male two, I don't know if you understand the difficulty of this. ”

Bao'er and the trainees sitting on the sofa all nodded, although they had never filmed, but after all, they were also in this circle, and it was impossible for Zheng Xiyi to change the role and role in South Korea.

"I also thought it was impossible, so I was very distressed, I couldn't eat or sleep well, and then my father found out and called me to the study to talk. I told him about the situation, and he thought about it and told me that he couldn't help me with this, and my mother couldn't help me, and the only one who could do it was me. My father said to me, I don't know how to do it, I just want to ask you, do you really think of acting as your lifelong choice, or do you just think it's fun to have fun. I said that of course it is a lifelong career, I love acting, I only like acting, and I can put in any effort to make myself play various roles on screens big and small. My father patted me on the head and said, "If that's the case, why don't you try and be distressed here?" Yes, although this seems completely impossible, I only worry about the use of being at home, I have to try and do it before I know if it is possible. So I went to Aunt May first, oh, Ms. Meryl Streep, and told her what I thought, how changing the character to an Asian kid would help and improve the whole film, how many Asian audiences it would attract to watch the film, and how much box office growth it would bring. Aunt May felt that I had a point, so she took me to meet the director and screenwriter, I said it again, and then performed for more than an hour at their request, and they finally agreed to think about it. This consideration lasted for two months, and there was no news at all, just when I was desperate to take on other roles, suddenly Aunt Mei called, saying that the director and screenwriter had changed the script and assigned me to play the role. I was not afraid of your jokes when I said it, I cried at the time, sat on the floor and cried, scared Aunt Mei and my parents half to death, and thought that something was wrong with me. You should all know later, this movie is "Wild River", and I also won the Oscar for this movie. ”

Wow~ Bao'er and the trainees applauded, Zheng Xiyi smiled, and when it was quiet, he continued, "You see, even if I am a natural top actor. Don't laugh, Bao'er, it's not my boasting, it's the New York Times. ”

Bao'er covered her mouth with a smile and stretched out her other hand to gesture at him, Zheng Xiyi simply ignored her and continued, "Even for a naturally top actor like me, it takes countless efforts to succeed, and even to turn the impossible into a possibility, without anyone helping me, and I was not yet nine years old at the time. The public only saw a yellow-skinned little boy starring in a Hollywood movie and became famous, with a salary of millions of dollars, but who knew that I had been studying and practicing for more than 12 hours a day since I was four years old? I spent three months acting in this movie, and in the last two months waiting for the news, every minute and every second was cruel to me, no one knew about this, and all you saw was Zheng Xiyi, who was standing on the Oscar podium and shining brightly. Just like everyone will only say that Bao'er is now popular all over Japan and South Korea, an Asian superstar, maybe it won't be long before she will be called an Asian pop diva, but you all know that Bao'er started practicing at the age of 11 and appeared on the stage at the age of 14. I became famous as a teenager like Boa, so I knew she must be like me, we practice when kids of the same age are playing, we practice when kids of the same age are spoiling, and kids of the same age are still practicing while they sleep. Talent and luck are very important, Sister Bao'er and I are lucky to have better talent and luck than others, but this does not mean that our success is easy, our money is easy, we sacrifice so much for the dream and belief of being on the stage and screen, we will succeed, we will earn easily. ”

Zheng Xiyi stopped, looked at Bao'er, who was already crying silently, and said in a low voice, "So if you doubt your dreams and beliefs for what I just said, then you are really not suitable to be a trainee anymore, because you are afraid of hard work, afraid of not making money, but you have forgotten that dreams and beliefs are the driving force for you to walk into the practice room, and standing on the stage where thousands of people are watching and hearing countless cheers and cheers, is the source of your hard work." ”
