1. U.S. audition into S.M
When Tian Jingru was very young, her parents divorced, and she lived with her mother, but her mother was an English and French foreign language teacher, and the work adjustment took her to the United States to study when she was ten years old.
Tian Jingru, who has lived in the United States for more than five years, her academic performance is also very top-notch, she is particularly interested in piano, because before coming to the United States, she has been living with her grandparents for ten years, grandpa was a music teacher when he was young, and her grandmother was a ballet dancer when she was young, her musical talent dance skills are particularly good since she was a child, her learning ability is also particularly amazing, her foreign language ability is also inherited from her family, from childhood to adulthood, she can Z English and French three Chinese.
Coupled with her excellent skills and a particularly delicate doll-like appearance since she was a child, she was praised by foreigners for her appearance when she walked on the road to a foreign country.
In 2012, she was almost fifteen years old, just after class, she was pulled by her friend Liu Linlin to the S.M audition, now is the time for the S.M company to select, her friend Liu Linlin studied in the United States, and after discovering the audition, she pulled Tian Jingru to the scene.
When Liu Linlin saw this crowd of people, she took Tian Jingru's hand and walked to the organizer, and after the organizer looked at the two of them, she asked in English, "Are you here to compete?" ”
Liu Linlin nodded, but Tian Jingru shook her head, "I'm not, she is." She looked at Liu Linlin and said.
The organizer was surprised, this girl was born so beautiful that she didn't come to participate in the competition, Liu Linlin knew that Jing Ru's ideal was not to be a singer, but to be a pianist, but if Jing Ru became famous as a singer, it would be no worse than the profession of a pianist, and he could also be an actor!
Witty as Liu Linlin, she hurriedly took Tian Jingru's hand and began to persuade with Z Wen: "Jingru, why don't you try it too?" Your musical talent is so good, I am very optimistic about you! ”
Tian Jingru originally wanted to resist, but when she saw that the organizer and her friend kept dragging her to sign up, she was a little hesitant, and in the end, she couldn't bear the entanglement of her friend, so she still signed up with her.
After watching her friend go on stage, she was a little nervous, and when Liu Linlin got off the stage, she nervously ran to her and looked at her, "Jingru, was the dance I danced just now very unnatural?" ”
Tian Jingru shook his head, smiled at her and said, "I feel that you dance very well, don't worry, you will definitely pass guò." ”
After arriving at herself, her already nervous heart beat rapidly, and she wondered if her future road would be smooth sailing after this competition.
With a nervous heart, she went on stage, and when she looked at so many people in the audience, her hands trembled a little, and she began to introduce herself in English, "Hello everyone, my name is Tian Jingru, I am from country Z, I am fifteen years old this year, I am studying in the United States, and the performance I brought is singing." ”
When the music sounded, Tian Jingru began to sing in English with a bright singing voice, and after singing, she bowed, and a middle-aged man sitting below asked him in English, "Do you know how to dance in H country?" ”
Tian Jingru shook his head nervously, took the microphone and said in a slightly lower voice, "No, I can only dance ballet." ”
The middle-aged man continued, "Can you jump and show us?" ”
She nodded, put the microphone on the stage, put the music on Swan Lake, raised her hand, and began to dance.
Although this dance is not a Korean pop dance, it seems that the dance foundation is good, and it should be good if it is cultivated more, the middle-aged man nodded with great appreciation.
As soon as she stepped down, the middle-aged man also left his seat, walked to her position, and handed the business card in his hand to Tian Jingru, "This is my business card, I am the person in charge of S.M here in the United States, you have a good talent, I sincerely invite you to come to S.M as a trainee, if you want to make your debut, remember to call me." ”
After the middle-aged man left, Liu Linlin on the side took her hand excitedly and laughed, "Great, Jingru, you were chosen." ”
At this time, Tian Jingru was very entangled in her heart, but she was studying now, and if the elective piano lessons stopped at this time, she didn't know how long she would have to wait to continue playing the piano.
After she looked at the business card in her hand, she hesitated in her heart, Liu Linlin couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Alas, Jingru, you are so lucky, you were selected so quickly, but unfortunately I was not selected." ”
Tian Jingru looked at Liu Linlin and pulled out a smile like her, Liu Linlin immediately cheered up, "Jingru, you will really become a big star in country H by then, remember not to forget my important friend." ”
She nodded, and with a hint of complexity in her heart, she went back to her mother's rented apartment, and in the evening, she sat quietly in the living room and waited for her mother to return.
The business card in her hand was already a little wrinkled, around eight o'clock, the door suddenly opened, she watched her mother come home, she immediately stood up, the business card was hidden behind her, she walked to her mother and watched her mother put the bag down, and called out in front of her, "Mom, why did you come back so late today?" ”
Her mother took out the dishes in the bag and began to go to the kitchen anxiously, "There is a temporary meeting at school today, so I came back late, sorry, are you hungry, I'll cook." ”
Seeing that her mother felt so sorry for her, she selfishly told her that she couldn't go on like this.
When she saw her mother busy in the kitchen, she grabbed her mother's hand and looked very calm, "Mom, I have something to tell you." ”
Her mother was pulled by her to sit on the sofa in the living room, she handed the business card in her hand to her mother, and after taking it, Tian's mother looked at the business card, she raised her head and looked at her daughter, "Are you serious?" I couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
Tian Jingru pursed her lips and nodded her head, Tian's mother took her daughter's hand and said very carefully: "Jingru, although our family is not very rich, but my mother can support you and your grandparents now, have you forgotten that you still have to play the piano?" You just went to country H, are you going to give up your own dreams? Even your teachers at your school are praising you for being the best at the piano, and maybe you can go and work with famous pianists in the future. ”
Her parents are divorced, she has been very precocious since she was very young, she is almost fifteen years old, she can't see through half a heart, if she hadn't thought about it, she wouldn't tell her mother about it.
"Mom, I won't give up playing the piano when I go to country H, now there is such an opportunity in front of me, I want to try, if I can really debut in country H, I can play it to fans who like me."
Tian's mother grabbed her daughter's hand anxiously, "Jingru, you are only fifteen years old, you go to country H alone, you are not familiar with life, how can you tell your mother to rest assured!" ”
At this time, the tears of the mother and daughter began to flow, but no matter what, she was determined to try, and no matter what the result was, she didn't want to regret it.
She sucked back her tears, "Mom, I'll take good care of myself, don't worry, I'll call you every day there." ”
After reaching this conclusion, early the next morning, she went to the S.M company in the United States to find the middle-aged man, and then packed her luggage and went to country H.
After getting on the plane, she regretted it, but what can she do now, she has to go by herself, she must work hard and not let her mother down.
Although she thought so, tears kept dripping.
On the first day after coming to country H, she signed a trainee contract, and was led by a woman in her thirties to a dormitory full of trainees to live in, although there were multiple people living in one room, fortunately, the room where she slept was one person.
After cleaning up, she heard a knock on the door, she opened the door, and was greeted by a person about the same age as her, who began to ask suspiciously in English, "It doesn't look like you're from country H, are you stupid from country R or country Z?" ”
Tian Jingru replied truthfully: "I am from country Z. ”
Subsequently, Tian Jingru began to ask rhetorically, "Aren't you from country H?" ”
She nodded, and then introduced in English: "I am of Z descent, my Z language name is Cui Lingya, my English name is Leia, my parents are Z people, I was born in the United States, I am an American citizen, and I don't know much Z anymore." ”
Tian Jingru nodded thoughtfully, "My name is Tian Jingru, it's okay if you call me Jingru, I'll call you Leia." ”
Leia nodded and looked at her with a smile, "You are so good-looking, and your personality is not bad, I came to country H a few months earlier than you, and the girls of country H here are all very hypocritical, especially discriminating against our foreign trainees, every time I see them, I have to bow ninety degrees, and I have to smile on my face, which is very awkward." ”
Leia stayed in Tian Jingru's room for a long time before returning to her own room to rest, and according to Leia's instructions, she basically knew the etiquette and class time every day.
After falling asleep, she faintly heard the sound of the door closing outside the door, and vaguely heard the voices of a few H country girls in her ears, all of them were H language, and she didn't understand at all, and she didn't even understand the most basic greetings when she wanted to go out to say hello, and she thought about it and went to sleep tomorrow to ask Leia.
At seven o'clock in the morning, she woke up, and then began to go out to wash, after washing, looked at the other doors and still did not move, she then went back to her room, picked up her mobile phone and began to call her mother.
According to the current calculation of country H coming at 7 o'clock in the morning, the United States should be after 8 o'clock in the evening, she began to make international calls to her mother, but as soon as she got through, after hearing the familiar voice inside, her tears couldn't stop flowing.
The voice also trembled a little and said, "Mom, I'm settled." ”
After Tian's mother heard her daughter's voice, she couldn't help but sob, "Jingru, if you really can't do it, you can come back." ”
