"Alas, the longer I stay in this circle, the more I can feel the cruelty of this circle. ”

In the nanny's car, Lee Jung was closing his eyes and recuperating when he suddenly heard Park Sun-ho sigh inexplicably.

He opened his eyes, looked at Park Sun-ho, who was sitting in the front row of the nanny car and was reading the newspaper, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, Brother Sun-ho, what did you see in the newspaper that made you feel so emotional?"

"Ugh. Sorry Jun-hyuk, I didn't pay attention to disturb you. ”

Hearing Li Zheng's voice, Park Sun-ho suddenly came back to his senses, and he quickly put down the newspaper and apologized to Li Zheng apologetically.

"It's nothing, anyway, the afternoon shooting is about to start......"

The lunch break during filming was not long, and Li Zheng hid in the car not to rest, but because a senior actress in the crew often showed favor to him recently, but because he was going to shoot together and the other party was a senior, he was not good at refusing in person, which embarrassed both parties, so he had to avoid meeting each other as much as possible.

"By the way, Brother Shanhao, what were you feeling just now?"

"Alas, it's not all those shady things in the circle......"

Park Sun-ho said and handed the newspaper in his hand to Lee Jung, explaining, "Another artist hanged himself last night. Since September last year (08), this is already the 7th artist in South Korea to commit suicide reported in the newspaper. ”

Since September 2008, South Korean artists Ahn Jae-hwan, Choi Zhen, Jang Chae-won, Kim Ji-hou, Lee Seo-hyun, Kim Seok-gyu have committed suicide one after another, and the reasons for suicide are many factors, or because of debt, or because of verbal violence, or because of obscurity, or because of psychological depression, among which the social impact caused by Choi Zhen's suicide is the largest, in late October, before Lee Zheng returned to South Korea, he saw relevant reports from the Internet.

Taking the newspaper from Park Sunho's hand at this moment, Li Zheng glanced at it casually, and saw the photo of Zhang Ziyan published by the media from the newspaper, and he couldn't help but recall in his mind that during the filming of "Boys Over Flowers", one of the actors who played the supporting actress in the crew seemed to be this girl named Zhang Ziyan.

After a brief glance, Li Zheng put the newspaper aside.

Park Sun-ho said: "Being young is a good year, but I ended my life because of depression due to stress, and the newspaper is only one or two paragraphs the size of a tofu block, this circle is really indifferent and cruel." ”

Hearing Park Sun-ho's words, Lee Jung was speechless.

In this world, everyone is fighting for their ideals, but not everyone can become the kind of person they want to be. When ideals and reality are opposed, when there is a disconnect between giving and receiving, when desire buries reason, when false illusions are shattered into nothing, how many people can stick to their hearts?

There are some things, okay is good, no good is not good, talent is not enough, no matter how hard you work, it is reluctant, you have to let people who are less than one meter tall to compete with those who are more than two meters tall, which is a ridiculous thing in itself. But the cruelty of reality is that most people don't see this ridiculousness, but think that hard work can get everything.

But most tragedies often stem from this.

Do what you are not good at, pursue things beyond your ability, look forward to the beauty that does not belong to you and is difficult to have, when the cruelty of reality shatters false illusions, but you can't face it, you are unwilling. Because of unwillingness, he can't see himself clearly, because he is unwilling, he is unwilling to give up, and because he is unwilling, he can't face up to reality and chooses to destroy himself.

Zhang Ziyan's suicide is only one of the suicides of many artists in the Korean entertainment industry, and it will not be the last.

This incident is indeed sad and pitiful, but for Li Zheng, it is not worthy of his sympathy.

The male lion never walks with the flock, and the successful never walks with the loser.

A person who can't see himself clearly, doesn't know how to do what he can, and faces the cruelty of reality but doesn't have the courage to face it, really has no qualifications to deserve his sympathy.

But there is no need to explain these ideas to Park Sun-ho.

There are some things that you just need to know in your heart, and there is no need or benefit to preach them everywhere. After all, it's easy to win someone from the mouth, but it's hard to win someone from the heart.

Advice is against the ear, and the truth is hard to hear.

If silence or lying can make both parties happy, why be a person who spoils the atmosphere?

"Junhyuk, I remember that the title song you wrote for SuperJunior will also be released tomorrow, and I hope that the suicide of Jang Ziyan will not affect the company's follow-up promotion plan for you after the rumor incident. ”

sighed, as if he remembered something, Park Sun-ho looked at Li Zheng and couldn't help but say with some worry.

It has been almost a month since the rumor broke out, and after the initial novelty, the media and the public's enthusiasm for hyping Li Zheng has long cooled, after all, in the entertainment industry, any topic is time-sensitive, and no one can occupy the headlines for a long time.

If you want the media and the public to pay attention to you all the time, you have to create new topics, and Li Zheng's identity as a songwriter is the next aspect that iHQ intends to focus on promoting.

"It shouldn't have much impact. ”

Li Zheng shook his head and said: "Although it is a bit indifferent to say this, the suicide of artists began in September last year, and on average, it can basically be said to be once a month, and the public has long been accustomed to this kind of incident." In addition, SuperJunior's songs are also marketed to the younger generation, and they are not keen on this kind of news, so it may have some impact, but it should not have much impact. ”

"That's fine. ”

Park Shanhao said: "The company has just formulated a follow-up promotion plan for you, if it is affected because of this suicide incident, then Zhang Ziyan's choice of suicide time is a little too inopportune......

Speaking of this, Park Sunho suddenly paused, was silent for a long time, and said with a wry smile to Li Zheng with some self-deprecation: "I was still saying that this circle is cruel just now, but I didn't expect that once the interests of the people around me are involved, I turned out to be such an indifferent person." Jun-hyuk, do you think I'm a hypocrite too?"

"Brother Shanhao, how much ability and how much to do. ”

Li Zheng shook his head sincerely: "Anything, we can only do what we can." Someone once said to me that human indifference and stupidity probably boil down to two kinds: being able to do nothing and not being able to do something.

We can't change what has happened. Nor can we take care of those who are far away from us. All we can do is use our efforts to make the people close to us better. If Brother Shanhao thinks that you are indifferent and cruel, then what is I, the person who was helped and taken care of by you?"

Park Sun-ho: "Junhyuk......"
