Chapter 635: Zhao Yincheng
Cho In-sung, Republic of Korea, one of the top beautiful men and the most famous male artist in South Korea.
Born in Seoul in 19881, he made his debut as a model through the clothing brand ZIOZIA in December 1998 and enjoys a high reputation in the Korean modeling circle.
In 2000, he participated in the youth campus drama "Funny College Students" and entered the film and television industry, and officially debuted in the entertainment industry.
In 2004, he starred in the TV series "Bali Story", which had the highest ratings of an astonishing 40.4%, and in the same year, he won the Best Actor at the 40th Baeksang Arts Awards with this TV series, becoming a new national idol.
In 2006, he starred in the movie "Despicable Street" and won the Best Actor Award at the 5th Korean Film Awards.
Kim Do-jun didn't expect that the predecessor that Brother Kim C was going to introduce was Cho In-sung.
The time of his debut is indeed much earlier than himself, and he is still his predecessor, or his predecessor who only debuted in 07.
But this is not the first time the two have met.
As early as the premiere of "Bloody High School" in South Korea, Kim Do-jun had already met Zhao Yincheng, and it was because director Takashi Miike invited Korean directors that he invited Zhao Yincheng to come over together to personally promote and build momentum for the release of the new movie.
Kim Do-jun vaguely remembers that he still has Zhao Yincheng's phone number in his mobile phone, but because he is not very familiar with it, he does not have too much contact, and even the text message is just a congratulatory text message sent after starring in a Hollywood movie.
It can be said that the relationship between two people can only be regarded as a one-sided relationship, not how close it is.
But I saw him today. Kim Do-joon, however, suddenly had the feeling of seeing an idol.
Casual black jacket. Match the brown trousers. A pair of simple casual leather shoes set off his good figure.
He was lightweight, and he had nothing in his hand except for his mobile phone and wallet, and after seeing where Kim C and Kim Do-joon were, he walked over with a faint smile on his face.
Seeing Zhao Yincheng walking in his direction, Jin C hurriedly waved his hand. Signal yourself to be here.
Suddenly, Kim Do-jun had a strange idea, how could such a handsome person know Brother Kim C, and the two of them are dressed so incoherently, standing together must be very interesting.
Kim Do-jun had a picture of two people in his mind, a handsome flower boy standing aside, and next to him was Brother Kim C, who was half a head shorter than Zhao Yincheng.
The two men stood next to each other and put their arms around each other's shoulders. Unkempt hair, compared to the carved version of the beautiful man. The hairstyle is meticulously combed, and a faint smile appears on the face, which is really funny compared to the embarrassing look.
When Jin Daojun imagined it, he felt that he couldn't bear it, so he quickly covered his stomach and lay down, for fear of being discovered by Brother Jin C.
Pacing, just came to the two people, Kim C and Kim Do-jun both stood up at the same time, Kim C glanced at the two people, and immediately opened his mouth to introduce.
"Yin Sung, this is my friend and very close brother, Kim Do-joon, a member of Leessang, let's get to know each other!"
As soon as Jin C's words were finished, he saw that the two people had abandoned him and took the lead in shaking hands.
"Hello Brother Yin Cheng, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Hello Daojun, the last time we met, it was at the premiere of the movie you starred in, and a few months have passed, and time has passed so quickly!"
With a faint smile on his face, Zhao Yincheng opened his mouth to respond, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head, glanced at Jin C, and continued to speak.
"No need to introduce, I've known Daojun for a long time, and I still have his phone number in my phone!"
At this time, Jin C's jaw was about to drop, and he opened his mouth wide to watch the two people shake hands with each other, smiled and said hello, and his mind was full of question marks.
"When did these two people meet, and how come I don't know?"
"It looks familiar, isn't this the first time we've met?"
"This kid Daojun is getting more and more mysterious, he didn't tell me this kind of thing, no, I'll have to ask him later!"
When he called, Kim C deliberately sold a pass and didn't tell Kim Do-joon, mainly because he didn't want to tell him so easily, which was too lacking in expectation and mystery.
If you tell him all at once that the senior you want to meet in the afternoon is Zhao Yincheng, then what's the point.
However, Kim C still said it suggestively, and Kim Do-jun must have known and seen it.
With Zhao Yincheng's popularity and identity, Dojun will definitely see it on TV, so even if he hasn't met before, as long as he sees it in reality, he will definitely recognize it.
But the two people in front of him completely ignored Jin C, and he was so angry that he almost ran away.
This is the meeting he organized, where did he put his master?
The waiter at the coffee shop, taking advantage of this opportunity, hurriedly came over and asked what he needed.
"A latte will do, thank you!"
Zhao Yincheng raised his head and said gently, the waitress in front of him, holding the plate in his hand, felt that his whole person was about to be intoxicated, and he muttered to himself.
"OPPA is really handsome!"
Zhao Yincheng has his favorite coffee flavor, and after ordering coffee, he asked by the way.
"Need you an autograph?"
"Of course, thank you oppa!"
Zhao Yincheng rolled his eyes, thought of an idea, and said deliberately.
"It's okay to sign for you, but can I trouble you with something?"
"Whatever I can, I will do my best!"
The waitress nodded and said heavily.
"I don't want to be disturbed by people, I'm having a chat with my friends, can you talk to the other customers?"
Zhao Yincheng's voice was very gentle, so that people couldn't bear to refuse at all.
Moreover, his requirements are very reasonable, artists are also people, and their usual time is dedicated to the audience in front of the TV.
They rarely have time for themselves, so they also need to meet up with friends for dinner and chat, as well as their own private space.
After seeing the waitress with a positive look, he signed the waiter's name. and took the phone and took a photo. Fulfill her little wish.
In the expression just to come out and meet friends. After not wanting to be disturbed, he stood up and bowed to everyone apologetically, and then slowly quieted down.
"Ah, it's really a beautiful man, he gets attention everywhere he goes, and there are fans, which is like us. It's like weeds, and there is no one to ask! ”
Kim C sighed, sitting with Zhao Yincheng, the relationship between the two is very close, which makes Kim Dojun envious.
Brother Jin C's sharp words were a little different from the usual wooden ones, and he couldn't help but make Jin Daojun look at them twice.
"Okay, don't be envious, take care of yourself, or I'll recommend my stylist to you? Let her help you design it? ”
Zhao Yincheng did not show weakness. Immediately open your mouth to shoot back, others may think that you are arrogant. Not very talkative.
On the contrary, Zhao Yincheng likes to laugh very much, likes to be with friends, and that kind of relaxed state is not something that can be obtained by acting.
Kim Do-joon coughed, deliberately interrupted the conversation between the two people, intervened in the middle, and spoke.
"Well, I have a question? I want to ask, I don't know if it's okay? ”
"Ask?"
The two men replied at the same time, glancing at each other, a faint smile on their faces at the same time.
"How did you two meet?"
Kim Do-jun touched his hair and asked with an embarrassed expression.
"You say it or I say it, forget it or I say it!"
Zhao Yincheng glanced at Jin C, looked at his appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, he didn't know whether to say it or not, and finally decided to say it himself, and when he reacted, the coffee was cold.
"The two of us know each other because of the bar! I used to be a super fan of hot potatoes, and once on the occasion of meeting, I told Kim C that I was your fan and exchanged contact numbers with each other, but I thought that my personal fate would end here, but then Kim C called and said that we had a cup of barbecue together, and I went to drink, and since then we have formed a fate! ”
After hearing this, Kim Daojun smiled, twitched the corners of his mouth, and spoke.
"Isn't that the relationship between fans and celebrities?"
Kim Dojun never thought that the way the two people went from strange to familiar and then to close would be like this, which is quite interesting.
In a person's life, you can find a few real friends, not much, one hand is enough, no matter where you are and where he is.
As long as a phone call, or a text message, you can call immediately, or rush over, care about you, take care of you, this is the real friend.
What can stand the test of time, the baptism of the years, and what is left is the real friendship.
"Yes, it's the relationship between celebrities and fans, but now they're pure drinking friends!"
In Korea, there are almost no men who don't drink soju, and even women will have a few drinks when they are free.
What's more, it's still an artist?
is already under a lot of pressure, coupled with messy things, there are many artists who use wine to drown their worries and eliminate their troubles.
There are no announcements, no itinerary, no popularity, no starring, no income, nothing, and the rest is always empty and helpless.
This is also one of the reasons why the suicide rate of Korean artists is very high, the first point is that there are too many artists, the market is too small, and it cannot accommodate so many artists.
The second point is that the oppression and exploitation by the agency is too ruthless, and the artist barely makes much money, and the biggest dream of many artists is to buy a bigger house in Seoul, but unfortunately many people can't fulfill this wish.
As for the last point, many artists need additional part-time jobs to support themselves, whether they work part-time jobs in urban supermarkets and convenience stores, or work as assistants in bars and clubs, sell songs, and maybe do some shady transactions.
It's all about being able to survive in Seoul, and it's hard to move an inch without money, and everyone understands this truth.
Who would hate having less money? Don't think that Korean women are realistic, these are forced by society.
"Daojun, this is the second time we've met! Since the last time I saw you at the premiere, it seems like the whole person has disappeared, by the way, congratulations again, oh, you have all appeared in Hollywood movies, I am a little envious and jealous! ”
A charming smile appeared on Zhao Yincheng's face, picked up the coffee on the table, and gestured to Kim Do-jun. I can only express it briefly.
"Thank you, Brother Yin Cheng. How can it be so exaggerated. Isn't it on TV every week? You're busy, and I can't hear from you! ”
Kim Do-joon hurriedly retorted, when it comes to starring in Hollywood movies, it seems that all the artists have green light in their eyes, as if there is something great.
There is really nothing to be proud of in this matter, originally it was just Takashi Miike who gave himself a face and let himself go to the interview.
The director took advantage of himself to make the movie, and responded more to Director Takashi Miike's request for help.
Otherwise, he will be a newcomer. How can you directly star in a Hollywood movie, and if you hone it for a few more years, it may not work, let alone now.
Moreover, South Korea has been crazy about admiring the United States, believing that everything is good as long as it is the United States, and it is full of the flavor of a suzerain.
This point, when Kim Do-jun was studying in the United States, he thoroughly tasted those humble and flattering faces. It's all in your own eyes.
Because of this, it may be an important reason why Kim Do-jun chose Yale University for business management.
this world. If others can't give it, you have to rely on your hands to get it.
If someone else stands in the way, you have to rely on your hands to snatch it from someone else's hand!
Zhao Yincheng smiled slightly and shook his head, on his smooth and white skin, there is no flaw at all, it can be compared to the face of a beautiful woman, and he knows at a glance that he is an artist who is very good at maintenance, and there is still a big gap between Kim Dojun and him.
"By the way, what are you looking for me to do today, is there something wrong?"
Zhao Yincheng turned his head, glanced at Jin C, picked up his coffee, took a slight sip and asked.
I just finished filming in the past few days, and I am still in the time of rest, so I have a lot of free time, so I received an invitation from Jin C and ran out immediately.
Zhao Yincheng's company is still very lenient with him, and for these activities, he arranges them at will, and the company will not interfere more.
Just like Brother Yuan Bin's company, they are all pillars of the company's God of Wealth, and they have far more rights than ordinary artists, and they are very free, what kind of activities they want to attend, they only need to report to the company in advance.
This is also why so many idol singers want to transform into actors, on the one hand, there is a difference in status, even if you stand at the top of the music industry, but in the eyes of Koreans, they are all unpopular, eating young rice, idol rice, and fan rice.
Only by becoming an actor can you be regarded as a real artist, and you will not lower your status because of the passage of time and time.
An actor will always be an actor, and an idol singer will not always be an idol singer, you will eventually get old.
Second, there is too much income gap, an actor's income for a year may be on the top of the singer's activities for two or even a few years, if it is a newcomer, the gap is not ordinarily large, just like Yuan Bin, the salary of a movie, plus box office dividends, will be on top, the combination of all the net income of many idol group singers in a year, plus advertising, endorsement CF, photo album, attending commercial performances, platforms, activities, etc.
After a year, the income is not expensive, which is enough to make yourself in the top 10 of the artist income list.
"Can't I look for you if there's nothing to do? I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I called you to come out, didn't you just finish filming a movie recently? Could it be that the company has arranged an event for you again? ”
Jin C said unceremoniously, compared to others, in front of Zhao Yincheng, he seemed more casual, and he didn't care at all that he was angry because of what he said.
Both of them are used to this, and Kim Do-joon sat opposite him very curiously, watching the conversation between the two people, and thought it was quite interesting.
"I've been resting recently, I've been filming for a long time, I'm tired, I guess I'm going to have a good rest for a while, and then see what the company has to arrange!"
Zhao Yincheng stretched out his hand and pressed his neck while talking, he has been daring to shoot costume dramas recently, because it is related to the release, so he has been in a hurry, shooting day and night, so his body is also very tired, and he needs a period of time to relax and relax.
"Oh, I remember it was a costume drama, what's the name?"
When Kim C heard about the filming, he immediately became interested, and even Kim Do-jun sat down and listened carefully.
"The name of the script given by Director Liu He is "Frost Flower Shop", as for the rest, I won't disclose it, when the time comes, the two of you will go to the cinema together to see it, right. I'll invite you to the premiere. When the time comes, you will have to vacate the slot! ”
Zhao Yincheng laughed weirdly. Jin Daojun's fur was numb, why did he want to do this all of a sudden, but since Zhao Yin Chengdu personally invited him, Jin Daojun and Jin C both nodded and agreed.
"When will it be released, can I look forward to it? Last time, I said that there were a lot of 19 forbidden scenes in it, how about it. Isn't that great? Who are the actresses you work with? ”
The last time they met, Cho In-sung hadn't been filmed yet, but he just received an invitation from director Yoo-ha to shoot, so there were a lot of scruples and secrets, and even if Cho In-sung knew, he couldn't reveal it to Kim C.
This is an actor's cultivation and his ethics.
But now it's different, all the scenes in the movie have been filmed, and there are a lot of things to talk about, after all, it's not as strict as when it wasn't filmed.
Besides, the director can't wait to attract more people to pay attention to this movie. In this way, the box office income can be a big hit, and more talents will take the initiative to enter the cinema. Watch this movie.
Director Liu He is no exception, they all like to use numbers to speak, which seems to have become a convention in the director circle, box office income, determines your status.
"The release date is set for December 30 this year, and a grand premiere will be held in Seoul, as for the actress Song Ji-hyo, have you heard?"
Zhao Yincheng raised his eyebrows, and immediately responded, there is nothing to hide, and he will know in a few days.
"Oh, it's her, I know!"
Kim C nodded and spoke.
As for Kim Do-joon, he was like a fool, he hadn't heard of Song Ji-hyo's name yet, so he could only keep nodding his head, indicating that he already knew.
"Oh yes, I called you out this time, and there is another purpose, my younger brother, Kim Do-jun, I have to trouble you to take care of it more in the future! Anyway, you are a senior in the entertainment industry, these little things should still be able to be done! ”
Jin C patted Zhao Yincheng on the shoulder and said unceremoniously, the two of them are not so angry, these things can be said directly, don't be embarrassed.
If there is anything, it is better to say it directly, the provincial roundabouts are not atmospheric at all, and men should be bold.
Although Jin C has some mother's personality in the show, in private, he is still very gentlemanly, it is estimated that it has something to do with the fact that he has been practicing baseball since he was a child, and until now, he has always been a semi-professional baseball player, and it is no exaggeration to say that he may be the best pitcher among the artists.
Jin Daojun could only nod awkwardly, it's hard to say anything, Brother Kim C has already said it, do you want to go up and deny it yourself?
Isn't that brain a show?
After thinking about it for a while and thinking about it, Zhao Yincheng did not answer Kim C in a hurry, but stared at Kim Dojun for a while before speaking.
"Do you really want to be an actor?"
"Of course!"
Kim Do-jun vaguely remembers knowing that Brother Won Bin acted in a TV series when he was a child, even if it was just a cameo, he was very excited in his heart.
It turned out that he also had an older brother who acted in a TV series, and it was only after his real debut that he understood what the meaning of the word Won Bin represented in the Korean entertainment industry.
Speaking of Brother Won Bin, Kim Do-jun remembered that he hadn't seen each other for a while, and he didn't know what he was doing, and the last time they met was when they were filming commercials.
I have time to take the initiative to see Brother Won Bin, and I have to thank him for helping him win the role of director Zhang Zhen in the micro-film and the experience of shooting with Lee Yeon-hee.
Although the time is not very long, only a few days, but for Kim Do-joon, it is a great gain.
A few days ago, the micro-movie was finally launched, and Kim Do-joon's mother and Kim Hye-won all called and said that they saw themselves on TV.
First of all, he praised Kim Do-joon, saying that he was more handsome and mature than before.
Then I praised his acting skills, which were not so stiff, and many places felt like natural expression.
As for the last point, when to buy a car for the two of them, they both endorsed the advertisements of Ssangyong Motors, and there should be a lot of endorsement fees.
It's time to buy a car for my mother and sister, if it's imported, of course, it's best, it's really not good, and it's okay to make it domestic, which is acceptable to them.
Kim Do-jun finally agreed to Kim's mother and help her solve the car matter as soon as possible.
As for Jin Huiyuan, don't think about it, first get admitted to the university and then ask yourself.
Zhao Yincheng paused, touched his hair, and finally spoke.
"Okay, I'll help you pay attention, there is an opportunity to appear recently, I'll see if I can talk to the company, add you, don't thank me first, wait until you succeed!"
The showbiz is a war of connections, and this truth is undoubtedly revealed at this moment, the more excellent the artist, the more resources he will master.
The company's attention, the company's resources, the invitation of the producer, the favor of the director, and the trust of the screenwriter are all indispensable.
Kim Do-jun nodded heavily and spoke
"Yay! I know! “
The three of them sat in the coffee shop and talked for three hours before they left.
When he got into the nanny car and returned to the company, Kim Do-jun locked himself directly in the house.
Because when he was in the coffee shop, he suddenly had an inspiration, and since he agreed to write a song for Jessica, he should take advantage of this time to write it quickly!
Whether it's photos, news, anger or mania, Kim Do-joon's inspiration at this time is like a spring, constantly popping up.
By the time the song was written, it was already five days later! (To be continued......)
