Chapter 27: Spring Festival and Rehearsals
January 26, 2009, Lunar New Year.
The Korean Spring Festival, also known as "Old Jeong", corresponds to calling the New Year "Shin Jeong", which means the old calendar year.
As a country with a Chinese character cultural circle, Koreans' Spring Festival customs are somewhat different from China's, but there are also many similarities.
Chinese people like to be lively during the Spring Festival, and the streets are full of people during the Spring Festival in southern China. South Koreans, on the other hand, are quieter during the Spring Festival, and shops are closed one after another, making the streets deserted. The difference between the two countries is that the Chinese use red envelopes to form "red envelopes", while Koreans are accustomed to using white envelopes to press the New Year money.
Koreans are proud to return home to visit their relatives before the Chinese New Year's Eve. No matter where you work, no matter how far away you are from your hometown, when the Spring Festival arrives, you have to rush back to your hometown to reunite. If the parents are present, they return to their parents, and if the parents are absent, the eldest brother is the father, and they go to the eldest brother's house to reunite with the brothers and sisters.
Li Zheng's Spring Festival was spent with Li Yunxi back to Li's house.
After the last Christmas, Li Zheng once took gifts to visit Li's father and Li's mother, and the two specially advised that Li Zheng and Li Yunxi must go home together during the Spring Festival, and before the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li's mother was worried about Li Zheng's push, and specially called in advance, the two elders were so enthusiastic and warm, and Li Zheng prepared gifts and went home with Li Yunxi for the holiday before Chinese New Year's Eve.
The Spring Festival has a three-day holiday, from the first day of the first month to the third day of the first month.
On the morning of the Spring Festival, everyone wears the best clothes and holds an ancestor worship ceremony. After the sacrifice, the younger generations of the family pay New Year's greetings to the elders and receive the New Year's money from the elders. Then the family sits around and eats rice cake soup, which Koreans think is a year old if they eat it. In the afternoon, people visit each other's relatives to pay New Year's greetings to relatives and friends.
Because the filming of "East of Eden" in which Li Yunxi participated has not yet ended, Li Zheng also officially signed a contract with the crew of "Splendid Heritage" before the Spring Festival, and will enter the crew for rehearsals after the Spring Festival, so the three-day holiday of the Spring Festival has not ended, and the two said goodbye to Li's father and mother and returned to work.
Shortly after the Spring Festival, the main actors participating in "Splendid Legacy" have been confirmed, and after the caster's information was released on the crew's official website, the actors gathered on SBS TV, and the entire crew entered the script rehearsal before the official start of filming.
…………
Girls' Generation Dormitory.
"Come and see!"
Xu Xian, who was sitting at the table and solving the exercises, was suddenly awakened by Jin Xiaoyuan's high-decibel shout, she frowned, and looked at Jin Xiaoyuan with some dissatisfaction: "Ernie, I'm studying, can you be a little quiet?"
"I'm kind enough to call you, don't you ......."
Before Kim Hyo-yeon finished speaking, he was interrupted by Choi so-young, who ran to the room between the two: "Ah! Kim Hyo-yeon! Why are you crazy? Yesterday I went to Jeonju to perform and was tired for a day, even if you don't rest, don't affect others!"
"Xiuying, come and see ......"
Ignoring Choi so-young's complaints, Kim Hyo-yeon grinned and pointed to the screen of his laptop and said, "Lee Jung-oppa officially debuted as an actor and became the leading actor in a new drama on SBS TV. ”
"What?"
Cui Xiuying opened her mouth wide, looked at Kim Hyo-yeon in a daze, and then seemed to come back to her senses, trotted and jumped onto Kim Hyo-yeon's bed, and Seo Hyun on the side also put down the exercises and gathered around Kim Hyo-yeon, the two of them were close to Kim Hyo-yeon, and two pairs of surprised eyes stared straight at the screen.
"SBS TV's new drama "Splendid Legacy", starring actors Han Hyo-joo, Kang Jun-hyuk, and Moon Chae-won, has been confirmed to officially start filming on February 11.
SBS told the media on the 5th: "The main actors such as Han Hyo-joo, Kang Jun-hyuk, and Moon Chae-won have been confirmed to star in "Splendid Heritage", and will conduct collective script exercises tomorrow, and will officially start filming from February 11. The drama tells the story of Ko Eun-sung (played by Han Hyo-joo), the unfortunate protagonist of the death of his father and the decline of his family, who obtained the inheritance of Hyun Yu-hwan (played by Kang Jun-hyuk) grandmother by chance, and is a work co-created by the assistant director of "The Painter of the Wind" by Chen Hyuk PD and screenwriter So Hyun-jung.
In addition, "Splendid Heritage" will take over "The Glory of the Family", which is scheduled to be broadcast in late April. ”
There was silence in the room for a while, looking at the full-body photo of Li Zheng in a suit and leather shoes on the news, Cui Xiuying subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Kim Hyo-yeon: "Hyo-yeon, are you sure this news is true?" She looked at the website that posted the news again, "It can't be that oppa's fans deliberately 'P' it out, right?"
"Not really!"
Kim Hyo-yeon immediately said: "I clicked on the official website link provided under the news after I saw it just now, and there is indeed this news on the SBS official website, and the official website of the crew also uploads the details of oppa." ”
After the last dinner with Li Zheng, Jin Xiaoyuan began to pay attention to Li Zheng, not only learned about Li Zheng's information many times, but also registered Gao Baona's fan forum for Li Zheng, and occasionally visited the forum in his free time to check if there was any latest news from Li Zheng, so I just saw this post that was pinned by the administrator as soon as I boarded the forum today.
"Then when did oppa become an actor, and why did he suddenly become the male lead of a new SBS drama?" asked Choi so-young.
Jin Xiaoyuan glanced at Cui Xiuying and smiled proudly: "You don't know this." ”
Saying that, she clicked on a few posts on the fan forum, and while Choi so-young and Seo Hyun looked down, she explained to the two: "oppa signed a contract with iHQ shortly after returning to South Korea, debuted under Kang Jun-hyuk as a stage name, and also played a role in the recently popular "Boys Over Flowers", ...... a few days later."
It seems that he forgot the specific time, Jin Xiaoyuan hurriedly looked down at the screen, "From February 9th to 10th, the dramas starring OPPA will be broadcast, and these are actually introduced on the forum." In the past two days, fans on the forum have been issuing a call to promote OPPA's TV series to their friends and classmates. ”
"Seniors are indeed seniors. ”
After reading all the posts, Cui Xiuying couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at Li Zheng's detailed information on the webpage, Xu Xian couldn't help but show admiration and surprise.
Although I have heard a lot of Ernie say that Li Zheng is excellent before, but after all, there is no personal experience, Xu Xian's feelings are not profound, although she felt that Li Zheng talked extraordinarily at the last dinner, but she also did not expect that soon after returning to South Korea, Li Zheng would become the leading actor of a new drama. Moreover, the detailed information about Li Zheng provided at the forum, the ability to graduate from Yale Business School in the United States and master six foreign languages made her full of admiration.
She looked at Li Zheng's photo on the screen, and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that this is the senior." ”
"What's this senior?"
Just as Seo Hyun sighed, Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany walked in, and then as if they had said hello, followed by Kwon Yoo-ri, Sunny, and even Jessica into the room one by one.
Kim Hyo-yeon was straightforward and immediately said, "We're watching the news about Lee Jung's oppa." According to the news, oppa has confirmed that he will star as the male lead in a new drama produced by SBS, and the series that oppa [released] in "Boys Over Flowers" will also air on February 9 and 10. ”
Hearing Kim Hyo-yeon's words, the girls gathered at once.
Looking at the news posted on the official website, the girls' eyes subconsciously looked at Jessica. Remembering what she had said a few days ago, Jessica's face flushed, her head lowered slightly, and then she seemed to remember something, and quickly raised her head, glared back at the girls, pretended to snort coldly with disdain, did not speak, and walked out of the room with her head raised.
"Huh~~"
Seeing Jessica's pretended disdain, Jin Xiaoyuan couldn't help but "sigh", but then the person next to him pulled the corner of his clothes, and he didn't say anything.

At the same time, in the rehearsal room of the crew of "Splendid Legacy", Li Zheng stood up, saluted everyone in the rehearsal room, and began to introduce himself.
"Hello everyone, I'm Kang Joon-hyuk......"
