At Chicago International Airport, four Asian women hurriedly walked out with suitcases.

"Jae-cheol!" a woman in a linen-colored knit dress looked around. Seeing Lee Jae-cheol standing next to the Ford commercial vehicle parked diagonally in front of him, the woman beckoned.

The man looked at this, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"How have you been these days?" asked Lee Jae-cheol, walking over to the four of them.

"It's not bad, director Cage is very good, we were all ready to be called, but the director only let us watch from the side, and said that if there is anything we don't understand, we can ask him and those stars. The woman in the white coat on the other side laughed.

"That's good. Lee Jae-chul smiled, and then beckoned a few people to get on the train, and the carriage was instantly fragrant, "Do you think this harvest is big?"

"Hmm. The woman who greeted her earlier nodded, "After watching the shooting of a really great director, I realized that I was short-sighted before." ”

The woman paused, and then wondered: "In Zhe, is there really such a big gap between the level of Korean and American films?"

"How can I say it? Lee Jae-chul sat in the co-pilot, "The gap is indeed very big, the film industry in the United States has been developing for decades, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Korean films are just starting, there are too few representative works, and the audience is only domestic audiences." ”

Seeing the expressions of the girls in the rearview mirror, Lee Jae-chul said again: "Everything needs a process, and the potential of Korean movies is still good." At least, I can see the potential of successful actors from Tae-hee. Go for it, you can do it. ”

"Inside, we'll try. Kim Tae-hee replied with a smile, and the other three nodded as well.

"Hyun-joo, what do you think?"

"Eh, me?" Kim Hyun-joo and Kim Tae-hee sat in the middle row. When the two were talking before, Kim Hyun-joo kept looking at Lee Jae-chol's side face, and he didn't expect him to suddenly ask himself. After organizing the language, she said, "I don't know about Korean films, so I can't compare them." But during this visit, I felt that Director Cage was like an artist creating during filming, and there was a kind of ...... What it's like to take care of your own child. ”

"In the eyes of every director, a film is like their child. Lee Jae-chul turned his head to look directly into Kim Hyun-joo's eyes, "Hyun-joo, I also see in you the talent to become an actor, but it's up to you to decide whether to play it or not, and I won't force you." ”

"Inside, since I chose to join the company, I won't give up halfway. Kim Hyun-joo smiled, her eyes firm and gentle.

Li Zaizhe sighed in his heart, and turned to the two people in the back row and asked, "Jiwon, Hye Kyo, what about you?"

"I think that actress is so powerful, she can control all kinds of plots, I want to try to be like her!" Ha Ji Won said excitedly, and added in his heart after speaking: I want to capture the heart of the male protagonist like her.

"Come on. Lee Jae-chul encouraged, his eyes looking at Song Hye Kyo.

"In the past, when filming, I would try to take on the role and think of myself as that person. The audience may not be able to see it after each shooting, but I know that in fact, I am just imitating that character, but I have not become her. Song Hye Kyo said seriously, "I explained the problem to Director Cage the other day, and then he told me to 'start from myself and live in the situation of the character', I don't know ......"

"It seems that Hui Qiao, you are an 'experiential school'. Lee Jae-chul interrupted her, "Park Myung-hwan bought a very good script, I think it suits you very well after reading it, and I will give you the script in two months." After watching it, if you feel that you can do it, then you will play it. ”

"Thank you, senior! I'll study it carefully. Song Hye Kyo was pleasantly surprised.

"Let's call me Zhe, you're three years older than me, and it's always strange to call me a senior. Lee Jae-chul said helplessly.

"Inside, in Zhe. To be honest, Song Hye Kyo always thought that this young man who became famous in the United States at a young age should be the kind of person who was more proud, but after getting to know him, he found that although this person would not take the initiative to make friends, he would not be arrogant. He is a very peaceful person.

After explaining to Song Hye Kyo, Lee Jae-chul said to the other three daughters: "Don't worry, I also have your share." As long as there is a suitable script, I will not hide it. ”

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Kim Tae-hee smiled.

"Me too. Kim Hyun-joo said indifferently, "I haven't made my debut, so I'm not in a hurry to film." After I return to China, I will finish reading "The Self-cultivation of Actors". ”

"Thank you, Jae-cheol. Ever since he met Lee Jae-chul, Ha Ji Won always had a smile on his face, "That's how I called you, don't mind." ”

"It's fine. Lee Jae-chul had a good impression of this persistent woman, "As long as you are willing, I will personally send you to a height of admiration." ”

Several women didn't say anything, just looked at Lee Jae-chul silently.

Back at the hotel, they settled them into the pre-booked room, and after putting their things away, Lee Jae-chul called the four of them here.

"Director Cage will go back to filming abroad after that, and the four of you will go to another place to study. Lee Jae-cheol glanced at the fourth girl, "I contacted several directors who are filming in Hollywood, so that you can enter the crew and take advantage of it." ”

"Inside, we will. ”

Hollywood, a place where filmmakers all over the world think, how can such an opportunity be wasted.

"Aren't you coming here?" asked Kim Tae-hee.

"Not for the time being, I'm going to take Bao'er to learn some singing skills. I'll go back to you later. ”

"Oh. Except for Song Hye Kyo, the other three invariably showed a lost expression.

Seeing them like this, Song Hye Kyo complained inwardly: "Hey, no, why do the three of them have this expression! Is this going to be a husband for three women?"

"Alright, go clean up and take you to play. Lee Jae-cheol instructed, "You can't just leave when you come to Chicago. ”

Now the four of them were happy, and they went back to their rooms after answering.

After a while, the girls returned to Lee Jae-cheol's room. Seeing the two girls standing next to Lee Jae-cheol, he greeted him: "An Ning, Bao'er, meet again." ”

"Ernie, you're finally here. Quan Baoer ran to the side of a few people and said happily.

"Hello Ernies. Li Anning sat in his brother's arms and smiled at the four girls.

"Hello. Kim Tae-hee smiled, "Xiao Anning has grown taller again." ”

Li Anning agreed with the words that he had grown up, and nodded vigorously.

"Everyone is here, let's go. Lee Jae-chul stood up, put Lee Anning on the ground and took her hand. Zheng Xiuyan and Zheng Xiu sisters have gone back to San Francisco, and when they left, the two told Lee Jae-chul not to forget a few agreements, and Lee Jae-cheol agreed with a smile.

Located on the southwest shore of Lake Michigan, Chicago is the third most populous city in the United States, with a very developed economy and technology, and is known as the "hometown of skyscrapers".

A group of seven people spent half a day in the city, and waited until the two younger children said they were a little tired before returning to the hotel. After dinner, Lee Jae-cheol returned to his room, took care of An Ning and fell asleep, and sat on the sofa to read the recent report on the development of the Korean entertainment industry sent by Park Myung-hwan.

"It's starting to become popular, girl group ......" Lee Jae-chul muttered to himself as he looked at the information about S.E.S and Fin.K.L. When the first girl group S.E.S. first appeared a few years ago, although it caused a series of discussions, it was not very popular due to the operation of the team and the company. After two years of development, there have been great changes and it has begun to be accepted by people.

Just as Lee was thinking about it, a doorbell rang outside.

"Ji Won, do you have something to do with me?"

"There's something I want to talk to you about. Ha Ji Won looked at the man in front of him, "By the way, exchange feelings." After saying that, he shook the wine in his right hand.

"What, is Jiwon going to drink with me?" said Lee Jae-cheol.

Ha Ji Won walked in with a wine bottle, "yes, no, I've heard that you can quickly deepen your relationship at the wine table." ”

"That's right......" Lee Jae-chul nodded and closed the door.

"Did you sleep peacefully?"

"Well, I'm tired from playing, and I'll fall asleep after a while. Lee replied, taking two goblets from the closet and placing them on the coffee table.

The wine had already woken up in advance, Ha Ji Won unscrewed the stopper and poured it into the cup, the two raised the wine glasses and touched each other gently, seeing Lee Jae Chul take a sip, Ha Ji Won smiled and suddenly said:

"You're only 17 in Zhe, right, I forgot you can't drink yet. "The person in front of me is only seventeen years old, I really don't know what's wrong with me, I will like a man who is 5 years younger. However, he usually behaves too maturely, and he really doesn't look like a minor. Ha Ji Won said in his heart. When Ha Ji Won saw Lee Jae-cheol, he thought he was about the same age as himself, and the American media did not reveal Lee's age. It wasn't until later that she learned through Kim Tae-hee that this person was actually 17 years old. Is he a monster? That was Ha Ji Won's first thought.

"It's fine. Lee Jae-chul said indifferently, "It's just that I'm not used to it, but it actually tastes good." ”

Ha Ji Won raised his glass, bitterness and sweetness spread in his mouth.

The aroma of wine entered her throat, and she lowered her head slightly and put down her glass. After a while, he looked up at Lee Jae-chul, "Actually, I have always had doubts about myself, am I really suitable to be an actor?

"However, then I found out that this was not the case. For four years, I was just a trick, and if I hadn't met you, I might have been like that until I couldn't hold on anymore and married someone casually.

"I even played a naked corpse that no one wanted to take for a shot, I, I ......" Before he knew it, Ha Ji Won's face was already covered with tears, and he was choked up and speechless.

"Ji Won, Ha Ji Won! Look at me......" Lee Jae Chul shouted her name, holding Ha Ji Won's face with both hands, forcing her to look directly at herself, "Maybe someone can become a new star as soon as they debut, but after all, it is only a minority, there are many people like you, and they are only a small supporting role in fighting their youth."

"Don't they have acting skills? No, acting skills can be improved with a little talent and hard work. They fail because they don't get a chance, or they get and they lose it.

"I found you and felt that you had the potential to become popular, and your talent for acting was very good, so I signed you to the company, and this is your chance. You just need to grasp it now, and then believe in your own ability, believe in my ability, and you can become the Ha Ji Won you want. Lee Jae-chul stared into Ha Ji Won's eyes and said word by word.

Ha Ji Won had already stopped crying and looked at Lee Jae-chul blankly. After a while, she muttered, "Hell, you think I can succeed." ”

"Nonsense. Lee Jae-chul was about to laugh angrily, "I don't believe that you and I spent so much effort to bring you to the United States to study?"

"That'...... Then you don't mind if I want to play a naked corpse?" Ha Ji Won cautiously glanced at Lee Jae-cheol's expression.

"Although I don't approve of you playing that kind of role as a girl. Seeing Ha Ji Won's disappointed expression, Lee Jae-chul changed his words, "But I appreciate your courage and persistence. ”

"Thank you......" Ha Ji Won said with a slight nasal voice after crying.

"Wipe your snot off. Lee Jae-chul took out a tissue and handed it to Ha Ji Won, "Don't worry about the past, it's all in the past, and the most important thing is the future." ”

Rubbing his nose with a red face, Ha Ji Won looked at Lee Jae-chul tenderly and said firmly: "Don't worry, I won't let you down." ”

"I believe in you. Lee Jae-chul smiled back.
