Chapter 16: Apprenticeship

Daylight poured in through the cracks in the curtains of the east window, and Kim Jong-ming lay on the bed in a posture that he himself could not understand. Just now, he woke up to the sound of his mother, Ms. Kwon Jin-sook, banging on the door very ladylikely.

The morning at Kim Jong-ming's house was completely different from the home of Zheng Sika on the other side.

Sika's mother voluntarily quit her job to take care of her two daughters and took care of the household as a housewife.

And Kim Jong-ming's mother still works, and she is in the same department of the same company as her father. But this situation will soon be over, and at a lunch the other day, Kim Jong-ming's mother told him that he was about to be promoted to department manager. And in the ridiculous society of South Korea, men cannot be subordinates of their wives. Not his own reasons, but the gaze of others. So his father, Hua Lili, began to contact headhunters, and heard that he was about to go to another company. A moment of silence for the poor and great Mr. Kim Young-hee.

Let's turn the conversation back.

Because both of them can be regarded as high-level white-collar workers, Jin Zhongming's breakfast has always been two slices of bread with something and a glass of milk. Even poor Baker was treated this way. But Baker is much better now, smart enough to eat every breakfast + lunch at the opposite door after knowing that Aunt Zheng on the other side resigned.

After saying goodbye to his parents who left in a hurry, Kim Jong Ming was alone, munching on bread alone in a house that didn't even want a dog to stay. Well, by the way, squinting my eyes that haven't opened yet to think about life.

The history department of Seoul National University will open tomorrow, March 11th. The other person involved in Sika's case, according to his information, is currently not in Seoul. So today he still has a whole day to be bored.

"If you eat the top piece first, you will go to the Seoul National University Baseball Stadium to have a look, and if you eat the bottom piece first, you will go to the director of Dongmo Village to sell it. Jin Zhongming silently hinted to himself in his heart.

"Smack!" two similar voices sounded almost simultaneously.

"Oppa, are you okay today? Krystal rushed in with Baker with his school bag on his back. It seems that she has only been a 6th grader for 10 days, and she is very excited.

The first "pop!" was the sound of the door being slammed open. And the source of the second sound had nothing to hide, and the frightened Jin Zhongming dropped the bread in his mouth on the ground.

Jin Zhongming immediately dragged Baker over and told him that when his parents came back in the afternoon or evening, if the dog named Baker did not eat up this half of bread, he would have to eat bread for breakfast for the rest of his life.

Perhaps it was a morning exercise with Baker, and Kim Jong-ming's spirits immediately improved, he washed his face, changed his clothes, and took the little crystal princess to school. And since the little duke is going to school, he doesn't have to worry about choosing which thing to do for the time being.

At the school gate, he promised the little princess to pick her up in the afternoon to practice, and after seeing her enter the school gate with her classmates, Jin Zhongming started the car, got on the highway a few minutes later, and came to Gaoyang City forty minutes later.

Kim Jong-ming is no stranger to Gaoyang City, and Kwon Yoo-ri is a native of Gaoyang. However, he is not familiar with Goyang from Kwon Yoo-ri, he is familiar with Goyang from his agent Jang Eun-hyuk, and his debut director and parents' relatives and friends Lee Jeong-hyang. After the couple got married, they settled in Gaoyang, and now Li Tingxiang is at ease with his son, and if he has time, he will be an assistant director, and he has no idea of releasing new works at all. Jang Eun-hyuk is a woman and a singer who does photography with others.

Kim Jong-ming came this time in the hope that Jang Eun-hyuk would officially become his agent. By the way, I asked Li Tingxiang to take the lead and find a senior in the circle to be a teacher.

Entering college, whether it is the improvement of personal standards or the increase of time control, I will inevitably increase my actions in the film and television industry. And soon you won't be able to use a child star to demand yourself, and others won't treat you as a child on the set, an agent who is familiar with the circle and a teacher with enough seniority will be of considerable help.

"Of course the agent is fine, we have just been short of a formal contract for all these years. Before the child was born, Jang Eun-hyuk shaved off his beard early, and now he still looks like a middle-aged beautiful man. He carried two cups of water and put them on the coffee table, and before he sat down, he had already agreed to Jin Zhongming's first request.

"So you mean it's hard to find a teacher?"

"That's not true, I've been in this circle for almost 40 years with Enhega. The question is not to find a teacher, but to understand the meaning of a teacher in this part of Korea and who to find as a teacher. It was Li Tingxiang who answered Jin Zhongming, and she also walked out of the back room with a cup of tea.

"Then ask my aunt to tell me more about the doorway. ”

Li Tingxiang took a sip of tea, then sat on the arm of the sofa on Zhang Enhyuk's side, and began to make up lessons for Jin Zhongming. has been together for 20 years, and these two are still taking time to show their affection all the time.

"First of all, the idea that you have to find a teacher is absolutely correct. However, in South Korea, teachers have great power over their students. Even for adult students, corporal punishment is pediatric. ”

"I know, which teacher in South Korea has never physically punished a student? I was pulled to the podium by the teacher who valued me the most, and knelt down on the stool. ”

"That's right. Li Tingxiang continued: "However, more importantly, in the film industry, students and teachers generally have a combination of financial interests. A considerable part of it is simply established by senior personnel with actor status in the same economic company and newcomers who have just debuted. Even if the two don't have much financial relationship at first, they will build up this relationship over time. This is due to the peculiarities of the Korean entertainment industry. ”

"This peculiarity refers to the seniority system in South Korea?" Kim Jong Ming frowned.

Jang Eun-hyuk nodded and took over the topic, as a photographer-turned-person, he knows these things clearly: "Yes, Koreans believe that the prosperity of the market is created by the seniors who entered the industry early, so the younger generations should maintain enough respect when enjoying the market created by their predecessors." You used to appear on the set as a child star, and you couldn't feel it. In fact, on the set, a senior can unconditionally instruct an unknown junior to do manual labor, go shopping, and pick up takeouts and box lunches. But no one will blame this senior. On the contrary, if you contradict your predecessor as a junior, as long as he complains to the media the next day, then the newcomer will be abolished. I don't know much about actresses, but these situations are very common among male actors. ”

Jin Zhongming has roughly understood.

In other words. A teacher in the film circle is not only a teacher in a school, but also includes the identity of a considerable senior, the identity of a policeman, and even the identity of half an agent. ”

"You've been so smart since you were a kid. Li Tingxiang smiled.

Jang Eun-hyuk also gave a thumbs up appreciatively: "That's what it means." Zhong Ming, a teacher will give a part of his seniority and prestige to his students, so that the students will be free from the troubles of many other seniors. Again, it's the same reason why I became your broker. Teachers will naturally introduce the role to their students, but there is one difference, according to the intimacy of the relationship, the role of the teacher is likely to be unpushable, or it may not be pushable. In the same way, you can't even ask about the salary of the role offered by the teacher. ”

Jin Zhongming breathed a sigh of relief, the salary really doesn't matter, South Korea's salary can make Chinese counterparts laugh off their big teeth. It's just that the selection of characters is a bit troublesome. However, in the Korean film industry, if you think about those messy things, you will know that it is really difficult to move an inch without a teacher with a big brand.

"If the role offered by the teacher can't be pushed away, it is even more necessary to find a good teacher. Do you have any good recommendations?"

"Well, with our couple's network, there are three of the most suitable. Li Tingxiang opened his mouth and said his hole cards. After all, Jin Zhongming has a great relationship with the two of them, and it is a complex relationship tied together, and Li Tingxiang also tries his best to think about him.

"The first is Andy Lee's senior, and there is no need to say much about the energy and seniority of this senior. Li Dehua's predecessors and I are fellow villagers and half relatives. And my parents can talk to him, and if I ask my father to give him a call, he won't be able to say no. ”

Jin Zhongming immediately remembered who this was. Zhongmuro's top veteran actor, and his management level is extremely high, he has served as the chairman of the Chungmuro Film Festival, and he is very prestigious in the business, political and literary circles. It's just that I didn't expect to be a relative of Li Tingxiang.

"The second is Pei Yongjun, the advantage of choosing him is that he has a fairly complete agency of his own, at least he doesn't have to worry about having no films to shoot. ”

"Auntie, forget about this!" Jin Zhongming did not hesitate to terminate the introduction of Li Tingxiang's official Pei Yongjun. What are you kidding, even if you don't care about the salary, you don't want to be sucked by blood.

"Oh, then there's another one, Anshengji. You know, our couple has known him for more than ten years, and we don't need to be led by others, just take you to the door. If you choose him, you have to worry about corporal punishment or something, he's usually a good person, but if you show up with him on set as an apprentice, he's going to be very strict. Of course, you don't have to worry about being seized by him for economic benefits and the like, first, he is not this kind of person, and second, he will give us a face no matter what. ”

"Then please Auntie, I want to visit Senior An Shengji. Jin Zhongming made a decision without hesitation.
