Chapter 145: What is the dream?
"What?"
Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae's words, Lee Joon-gi couldn't help but open his mouth wide and said with a look of surprise. Super fast and stable update novel, this article is written by ...... Starting
"Yes! I wonder what Lee Joon-gi Xi thinks about my proposal? Jung Hyuk-jae asked.
Of course, this proposal was a whim, but just like looking at an antique, knowing that the Puyu in front of him was He's Bi, where did Jung Hyuk-jae still have the idea of letting him slip away in vain.
"Uh, this?" Lee Joon-gi scratched his head a little embarrassed, his face was a little embarrassed, and he explained: "I'm sorry, screenwriter Zheng!" It's such a big deal, I need some time to think about it. ”
Regarding Jung Hyuk-jae's proposal, Lee Joon-gi did not immediately agree, but said to think about it, which not only avoided embarrassment between the two parties, but also gave himself time to think about it and see what his purpose or idea was.
In fact, since he went to college, Lee Joon-gi has not asked his family for a penny, but has chosen to work part-time while interviewing for the job of an actor. As for the big and small agencies in the entertainment industry, he has also looked for them, but compared to his age of twenty-three, the agency wants to sign the kind of actors who are young and worth cultivating, not people who want him to become a monk halfway.
Why should you look for a brokerage firm? In fact, the reason is obvious, naturally it is for huddle warmth!
Lee Joon-gi has never seen a few artists who can still mix without the help of a brokerage company, from actors to singers to models, behind them are all supported by brokerage companies without exception, and the gap between artists and artists is also in the size of the company and the channels it has.
Why is SM known as the 'aircraft carrier of Korean songs'? Not because it makes the most money, but because of its star-making ability and the intricate and thick connections and channels behind it, which is the foundation of SM company.
There have been a few times. Originally, the results of the interview were nine out of ten, but in the end, he didn't get anything, but the previous two people who were not as good as him in acting skills and interview performance got the seats. I don't want to admit it, but that's the energy of a brokerage company.
"No problem. This is my personal number, if you think it through, you can call me these days. As he spoke, Jung Hyuk-jae tore out a sticky note from the bag he was carrying, wrote down his phone number with a pen, and then put it in front of Lee Joon-gi.
"This is my personal phone, if you think clearly, you can call me at any time."
Lee Joon-gi took the note with his phone number written on it. Then he solemnly put it in his bag.
Looking at Lee Joon-gi's performance, Jung Hyuk-jae couldn't help but nod, as if he was very satisfied with his performance just now. It's normal to not agree right away, and if you really sell yourself because of your casual proposal, this is an abnormal performance.
Jung Hyuk-jae will not be arrogant and think how attractive he is, and of course he will not think that the other party will joke about his star path, what he gave Lee Joon-gi is a choice, a choice that is enough to change his life.
Li Junyi, who was not far away, saw that neither of them spoke, so he walked over to Jung Hyuk-jae and looked at him suspiciously. It's just that Jung Hyuk-jae didn't intend to explain, and seeing this, Li Junyi had no choice but to give up.
"Lee Joon-gi, then this is officially decided. You can familiarize yourself with the script when you go back in the next few days, and you can ask me if you have any questions, or you can ask screenwriter Zheng for advice. The conversation between the two sides was almost underway, and Li Junyi didn't say anything more.
"So Hejae Xi, do you have anything else to add?" Lee Jun Yi turned his head to look at Jung Hyuk Jae beside him, and asked him out of politeness.
Jung Hyuk-jae shook his head, "I don't have anything more to say. ”
Seeing this, Lee Jun-ik stood up and stretched out his right hand towards Lee Joon-gi, "Lee Joon-gi xi." Happy working together in the coming days! ”
"Well, happy cooperation!"
After speaking. Lee Joon-gi turned to look at Jung Hyuk-jae again, "Screenwriter Jung." Thank you for your support! ”
"Happy working together!" Jung Hyuk-jae reached out and shook his hand.
After saying goodbye to Lee Jun-ik and Jung Hyuk-jae, Lee Joon-gi, who came outside the restaurant, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, just now under the strong aura of the director and screenwriter, he felt that he didn't say something well, and even stammered a little when he spoke.
However, fortunately, it seems that the results are not bad, and they have been recognized by the screenwriter who met for the first time.
Thinking of Jung Hyuk-jae, Lee Joon-gi remembered the note he left for him, rummaged through his bag, and finally found it, so scared that he thought he had lost it.
'Jung Hyuk Jae'
Lee Joon-gi glanced at the phone number written on it, whispered it a few times, there was a light in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
After walking for about five minutes, Lee Joon-gi came to the bus stop sign, there is a bus that can go directly to his school, but unfortunately he just arrived, and a car also happened to depart, so he had to wait patiently under the stop sign before he could get on the bus.
"Jingle Bell Jingle Bell"
Just sat down for a while, the mobile phone in his pocket rang again at this moment, and after looking at the caller ID, Lee Joon-gi's face sank, and the first thought that came to his mind was 'turn off', but the annoying ringtone didn't seem to give him a chance to turn off the phone at all.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Lee Joon-gi bent down and apologized to the pedestrians who were waiting for the public bus under the stop sign because his behavior disturbed others, and after saying that, Lee Joon-gi pressed the answer button in one breath, closed his eyes tightly and waited for the 'storm' on the other end of the phone.
Sure enough, the phone had just been put to his ear, and a thick male voice said angrily: "Ah! Why didn't you answer the call you last night? Ah, don't you want to hear me? If I don't want to hear you, I won't call you again in the future! ”
"Dad, I didn't get your call yesterday."
"I didn't receive a missed call on my phone, didn't I even have a missed call on it? I see that your wings are stiff. I don't even listen to what I say anymore! ”
Although through the phone, Lee Joon-gi still seemed to feel a little spit on his face.
"Dad, I didn't mean that." Lee Joon-gi said helplessly.
"That's not what it meant. You're going to be right back for me! Be an actor, be an actor! Yes? Don't go to that art school. I found you a job here in your hometown, and you can come back and work directly. ”
"Dad," Lee Joon-gi shouted, his face sad, and he couldn't see the smile on his face before.
"You just say you can't come back!" Dad Li on the other end of the phone forced, his voice angry and with a hint of depression.
"Dad" Lee Joon-gi called out affectionately again, and explained: "Dad, I have already received a job, and I am going to make a movie next." And I'm still the main character! ”
Hearing his son's words, Dad Li on the other end of the phone didn't say anything for a long time, almost a minute, before Lee Joon-gi continued to speak, there were busy tones on the mobile phone, Dad Li had already hung up the phone, and the father and son broke up again.
In front of the platform, Lee Joon-gi grabbed a handful of his hair in a tangled manner, lowered his head deeply, and did not dare to look up in front of him. I was afraid that my red eyes would scare passers-by waiting on the platform.
It seems that in every family, father and son are natural class enemies, and the more one lets his children do something. Out of rebellion or something, the more he won't do anything. Lee Joon-gi is in this case, but his behavior is not rebellious, but out of a genuine love for the actor.
I still remember when I was going to school in my hometown, Lee Joon-gi, who was in his second year of high school, happened to go to see a drama "Hamlet" with his classmates, and since then he has had the dream of becoming an actor.
Once the dream takes root in the heart, it will become more and more lush as the nutrients are absorbed, until one day the dream blooms into flowers, beautiful and gorgeous flowers!
In my junior year of high school. While the other classmates were still studying hard to prepare for the college entrance examination, Lee Joon-gi came home and told Lee's father about his dream of becoming an actor. He was immediately met with strong opposition.
Even after such a long time, his father's words from the businessman seemed to linger in his ears at that time
'Actors? What is good about actors. Studying hard is the right way, I don't ask you to be a lawyer, a judge, a prosecutor, even if you are an ordinary company employee, you are 10,000 times better than that actor! ’。
But my dream is to be an actor! ’
Listening to his son's rebuttal, Dad Li was stunned, 'Ideal? Do you want to be able to eat it as a meal? Or can it be spent as money? How much is the ideal worth now? ’
It was because of this incident that the father and son quarreled, and finally Dad Li said angrily: 'Don't you have ideals? Then don't bring anything at home, take it with you to find some ideals! ’
In half a year, Lee Joon-gi relied on the more than 300,000 won he had saved by working in the cafeteria for more than half a year, regardless of his father's family, to Seoul and applied for the Seoul Art School.
Because his father has never funded a penny, from living expenses to tuition fees, it is all hard-earned money that he earns by working during his break.
He has worked as a waiter in a bar, a car washer, a billiard room waiter, and a kitchen handyman, as long as he can earn money and has no high-demand jobs, he has done all of these, and he has worked for more than 10 hours a day.
However, these Lee Joon-gi persevered!
Because his school is an art school, the school is not too strict with the management of students, and many students went out to interview actors and models in his freshman year, and Lee Joon-gi, who has always dreamed of being an actor, naturally went out for interviews, but the result was a bigger gap than the ideal.
In the past year, he has run more than 80 crews, auditions while working, and has failed more than 200 times. The audition process is definitely not very beautiful, the dark box operation, the direct internal decision, and the coming is just a form of these he has encountered.
Not to mention all the injustices encountered during the audition, in the face of these, Lee Joon-gi has been persevering.
Perhaps it was his persistence and hard work that paid off, when the crew auditioned for "The King's Man", after three auditions and defeated more than 1,000 people, Lee Joon-gi finally got this precious opportunity.
However, why do family members still not understand and approve of the path they have chosen?
I don't know how long it will take, anyway, the pedestrians waiting on the bus platform have come and gone, changed wave after wave, and the bus has also passed back and forth two or three times, Lee Joon-gi still bows his head deeply, and he doesn't know what he is thinking in his heart.
After a while, Lee Joon-gi finally raised his head, wiped his reddish eyes, stood up, and saw a car coming towards the platform from a distance.
Lee Joon-gi got on the bus, and there were not many passengers on the bus, so he found a window seat, sat down and looked at the sealed well outside the window, his mouth was slightly pursed, his brows were tightly locked, and his heart was already full of thoughts.
"Hyuk Jaexi, what did you say to Lee Joon-gi in the afternoon?" Sun restaurant, Li Junyi couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked.
"It's nothing, just tell him what to pay attention to and what problems he needs to pay attention to in the next shooting." Jung Hyuk-jae first picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip kissing, and then said.
Li Junyi's face was full of disbelief, "Do you think I will believe it?" ”
"Of course you won't believe it." Speaking of this, Zheng Hyukzai paused for a moment, and then continued: "But even if I tell the truth, you may not believe it!" As he spoke, Jung Hyuk-jae shook his head.
"What truth?" Li Junyi continued to ask.
"I said, I want to sign Lee Joon-gi, will you believe it?"
Jung Hyuk-jae's words seemed to cause an uproar, and Lee Jun-ik looked at her with wide eyes, "What did you just say?" ”
"I said, I want to sign Lee Joon-gi!" Jung Hyuk-jae repeated it again.
"Do you want to open a brokerage company?" Lee Jun-yi was a little incredulous.
"Sort of, if Lee Joon-gi agrees to come down, it's not too much to open a company."
Lee Jun-ik is a little confused about what Jung Hyuk-jae thinks? A brokerage company that only serves one person, this is also luxurious enough.
Lee Jun-yi wanted to ask something more, but the waiting plane that Jung Hyuk-jae put on the table suddenly rang, Jung Hyuk-jae picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID, it was a number that he had never seen before, and pressed the answer button, Jung Hyuk-jae said: "Hey, hello, I'm Jung Hyuk-jae!" ”
"Is Zheng a screenwriter? I'm Lee Joon-gi, do you have time for the evening? (To be continued)
