Chapter 271: A Lecture on Reality
"How can you just keep making TV series, do you have plans to make movies in your plan?" Bong Joon-ho didn't beat around the bush and asked bluntly.
"Yes!"
Hearing Bong Joon-ho's words, Jung Hyuk-jae said categorically, after all, his first dream in his previous life was to become a film director, but he failed to complete his dream for some reasons, which is also one of Jung Hyuk-jae's regrets.
As for the PD who later became a variety show, it was also because he loved and liked this circle, and he didn't want to be an ordinary person and spend his life doing nothing, Zheng Hyuk-jae in his previous life couldn't talk about how successful he was, but at least he has been running on the road of chasing his dreams, although he has not seen the end of this road until he dies, but he has always been on the road.
"It's good to have this plan!" Bong Joon-ho said with a smile, then stretched out his arm and patted Jung Hyuk-jae on the shoulder to encourage him.
The circle of film directors is not too big, in this circle, generally speaking, the old leads the new, and the seniors assist the juniors, Bong Joon-ho can naturally be regarded as Jung Hyuk-jae's senior. Bong Joon-ho is also very happy that Jung Hyuk-jae can have plans for movies, no matter how he says it, he is also his junior directly subordinate, and he feels that he has more face when he says it.
Everything is actually up to the point, just like Bong Joon-ho's question just now, after getting a positive response from Zhen Gekanji, he didn't dwell on this question anymore, and instead began to ask about his preparations for today.
"You're on stage in a moment, are you ready to say something?" Bong Joon-ho reminded.
Hearing Bong Joon-ho's words, Jung Hyuk-jae nodded first, and then said, "I'm ready, but I still think it's better to chat with these juniors casually in this situation today." ”
Although Jung Hyuk-jae can already be regarded as having achieved a lot of success in his field, he only graduated last year. It's only been a year and a half, and I still know what these juniors really think in their hearts, and they have to hear dry speeches and lectures many times a year, and it can be said that they are tired of listening to them, and their ears are about to become calloused. Or an equal chat is more likely to attract their attention.
Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae say this, Bong Joon-ho nodded clearly, a person has his own ideas, and he is not easy to interfere with, in fact, today can be regarded as a 'star' meeting, but the star here is not a idol or an artist, but a director who was originally hidden behind the scenes.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet a few more people!" After the two chatted together for a while, Bong Joon-ho opened his mouth to propose.
"Good. You please! Jung Hyuk-jae readily agreed, facing Bong Joon-ho, Jung Hyuk-jae is quite admirable, as Bong Joon-ho who entered this industry early, he may not be as good as Jung Hyuk-jae in terms of making money, but in terms of connections, it is not comparable to Jung Hyuk-jae, a young man who has just entered this circle for less than two years
"What are you doing here?"
On the campus of Yonsei University, some students who happened to pass by from the small hall saw a group of people gathered here, and their doubts grew bigger and bigger. After looking at it for a while, he pulled his bike to the side. I came to the door of the small hall and took a closer look at a poster attached to it.
There are too many words, and they are too dense to read, so it is better to grab a classmate around you and ask, which is simple and convenient.
Thinking of this, he gently patted a male classmate next to him on the shoulder. showed a friendly smile, "Dude, what kind of event is being held in the small hall today?" ”
"Don't you see the poster here?"
"Posters?" He stared at the poster again with some strange looks, "See, what's wrong?" ”
"Today is the day when Bong Joon-ho, a film director who graduated from our school, returns to school. So the school invited him to give us a speech, and everyone who came here today can be regarded as his fans! As he spoke, the classmate showed him a group of classmates who had already gathered around him, including men and women, which showed that Bong Joon-ho had a wide audience in movies.
"I see!"
After listening to this classmate's explanation, he finally understood, it turned out that the school wanted to rely on this propaganda. However, publicity is also good, I heard that this year's admission rate is a little higher than in previous years, and if you promote it more and attract a wave, more high-quality students will choose Yonsei University.
"Who's this mystery guest, though?"
Although he had already understood it in his heart, he saw that there was still a line of words on the pillar, which read, 'There is a mysterious guest coming'.
Hearing him say this, the talkative classmate just now was also dumbfounded, "I really don't know about this mysterious guest, I walked around the school a few times today, and I haven't heard of anyone coming in!" ”
"Then I don't know!"
Speaking of this, he turned around and found the classmate who came with him, and then asked, "Did you see any celebrities from the school coming in when you came over today?" ”
Hearing his inquiry, the classmate immediately shook his head, "I really haven't seen this, maybe I haven't noticed, and there is no nanny car parked in the school." ”
"What time does this start?"
"It's half past nine in the morning, and there are still ten minutes to go, and I don't know what is being prepared inside?"
As he spoke, several classmates raised their toes in unison, and then looked inside with their heads open, hoping to see something, but unfortunately, the crack in the door was not so wide open, and only a few figures could be faintly seen.
Time passed slowly in waiting, and the original time of more than ten minutes was already very fast, but at this time, every minute and second of time seemed extraordinarily long, and many people looked at their watches every ten seconds, for fear that they would miss the next lecture.
When I first came here, there were at most more than 40 parents and students in front of the door of the small hall, but I didn't expect that in less than ten minutes, more and more students received text messages from their friends and girlfriends, and they all rushed over on bicycles.
"I didn't expect Bong Joon-ho to come to school today. The "Memories of Murder" directed by him still has time to this day, and I will choose to watch it again when I am not free! ”
After a while, a group of female classmates, students with long legs, one was talking to his girlfriends about the movies he had watched, waiting for half past nine to come.
"Is this our school?" Looking at the girls in front of them, many male classmates thought so in their hearts, but in fact, they couldn't blame them for thinking so much. It's that although there are a lot of good-looking girls in Yonsei University, they are far from being of such high quality like these few, and they are simply rare and genuine.
"They're not from our school, are they?" Some people can't help but wonder in their hearts.
"It looks like it's supposed to be a girl from Ewha Girl, but what are they coming here for today? Could it be that they are also here to see this lecture? ”
Someone thought so in their hearts, and couldn't take their eyes off the big white legs of the girls in front of them for a long time
"How's it going, nervous?" The time was getting closer and closer to half past nine, and Bong Joon-ho suddenly came behind Jung Hyuk-jae at this time, and asked with a smile.
Hearing Bong Joon-ho's voice ringing behind his ears, he turned around. "It's not nervous, it's fake at all, and I'm still a little apprehensive in my heart."
"It's normal to be nervous, don't look at me this year, I'm thirty-six and almost forty, but I'll still be very nervous when I stand on the stage."
The two chatted, and the tension in their hearts gradually disappeared with time, and the time was already nine o'clock twenty-five, and the small hall had begun to let people in in an orderly manner. Jung Hyuk-jae picked up the curtains on the stage of the small auditorium and pulled them to both sides to look out, and the juniors who had followed him before picked out a few of the best seats and sat down.
Roughly glanced down. It really scared Zheng Hyuk-jae, he didn't expect so many students to come today, and it seems that there are still a lot of seats behind, and there are not many seats left, but it seems that there are still a lot of students in the back.
At half past nine o'clock in the morning, with the warm applause of these students in the audience. Bong Joon-ho walked onto the stage while bowing slightly, standing in the center of the stage, Bong Joon-ho held the microphone in his hand and began to introduce the purpose of this lecture.
"Do any of our classmates like to watch movies? Raise your hand if you like it! ”
Hearing Bong Joon-ho's words, the audience 'brushed and brushed'. Almost all of them raised their hands.
"So does anyone know what the difference is between movies and reality?" Bong Joon-ho asked again.
Hearing Bong Joon-ho's question, the juniors in the audience raised their hands one by one, and the atmosphere at the scene was very lively.
In the next half an hour, Bong Joon-ho gave a speech about 'reality and movies', although everyone has heard of the truth, but when it is said in combination with the movie, it still brings a touch of freshness to the big guys seat, and then it should be Jung Hyuk-jae to play.
"After listening to a long speech by me, a middle-aged and elderly person, I don't know if you have already started to annoy me in your hearts." Bong Joon-ho said with a smile.
"Nope!"
"Let's talk a little longer!"
Hearing the enthusiasm of the junior fans in the audience, Bong Joon-ho waved his hand, "Even if you are not tired, I am tired, and then I will invite someone who also graduated from our school, you might as well guess who it is!" ”
"Alumni?"
"Senpai?"
Hearing Bong Joon-ho say this, the students in the audience under the stage all seized the time to turn on their brains, just now Jung Hyuk-jae had already planned to go out, but he didn't expect that at this time, Bong Joon-ho brought a small easter egg to the students on the scene.
"Could it be Park Jin-young?" Someone guessed.
"That gorilla from JYP, it's impossible, it's impossible, how could it be him!" Hearing the speculation of someone around him, he immediately responded.
"Or is it Park Jin-hee?"
If you really want to talk about it, there are really few graduates who have gone out of Yonsei University in recent years to become famous, and at this time, what you can think of in your mind are the seniors who have graduated from the school for more than ten years, and there are not only celebrities in the cultural world, but also celebrities in the business, politics, and sports worlds.
"Jung Hyuk Jae, isn't it?" For a long time, no one answered correctly, but the fans brought in by Jung Hyuk-jae raised their hands and answered loudly, and everyone remembered that among the students who graduated from here, there was such a fierce man.
In less than two years since graduation, he has already made his own career in the TV drama circle, variety shows, short dramas, and TV series, all of which are easy to come by, which is the envy of many students.
When Jung Hyuk-jae walked on the stage, the female juniors in the audience all let out an exclamation in unison, he had always seen him at the TV series press conference on TV before, but he really didn't expect to see a big living person, it should be quite tall.
"Good morning, everyone!"
Jung Hyuk-jae came to the stage, took the microphone from Bong Joon-ho's hand, and then beckoned to the juniors in the audience, "Hello everyone! ”
"Hello Hejae-senpai!"
Jung Hyuk-jae's arrival can be regarded as detonating the warm atmosphere of the scene, compared with Bong Joon-ho before, Jung Hyuk-jae, who graduated and left school less than two years, is much more popular than Bong Joon-ho, and it is also much more real. In terms of popularity, especially in terms of girls, after all, who asked Jung Hyuk-jae to direct a romance drama for women!
"Seeing such a stage, seeing you off the stage, I feel very nervous. Because as a director, I'm always the one behind the camera, and I feel nervous in front of the camera, as if suddenly your role is wrong, and if the conversation is a little incoherent, please forgive me. ”
The opening of a few sentences attracted everyone's laughter, and it seemed that this senior was very easy to get along with.
"Actually, when I heard that I was going back to my alma mater to give a speech today, I was very nervous, and I kept thinking about what kind of topic I should prepare to attract everyone's attention.
In this kind of co-talk, it is usually said that something like 'follow your dreams', but I don't want to tell you about this because I don't believe in these words, and after thinking about it, I still choose the word 'reality' that sounds a bit cold! ”
Hearing Zheng Hyuk-jae say this, everyone in the audience sat up straight and looked serious. (To be continued.) )
