……
Among these series of news before and after, there is a not-so-eyed news that is still quietly reported, that is, the new movie "Righteous Brothers" co-produced by national actor Song Kanghao and cutting-edge director Zhang Xun has finally been determined to play the actors, and the filming is in full swing. And the media reporter who visited the class found the face of a rookie actor on the set.
It's actually nothing, in the Korean entertainment industry. There is an influx of new people every day. Of course, every day there are people who die in disgrace. If it were just an ordinary rookie actor, media reporters would naturally not waste their film and energy on it, but this rookie actor is a little different, that is, he is the protagonist of this movie!
A movie starring Song Kang-ho, Ko Chang-seok, Yoon Hee-seok and others, as well as a movie directed by Jang Hoon! The leading actor of a commercial film that has attracted the attention of the entertainment industry since the beginning of preparation!
For this film by Zhang Xun. It has been reported in the media before. And the producer and director Zhang Xun have also said more than once. planned to invite Song Kang-ho and Kang Dong-won, the old and young partners in the Korean film industry.
However, what they see now is only Song Kang-ho, and they don't see Kang Dong-won, and Jiang Dong-won is replaced by a rookie actor called 'Chen Zaitian'.
Naturally, the media reporters who found out about this situation were full of interest. immediately planned to interview this young man with good looks and a different mature temperament for the first time. However, he was politely refused the interview by the other party with a smile on the grounds of filming work, which is nothing, and more importantly, Song Kanghao and Zhang Xun on the side came over to help him talk. To everyone's surprise, there is very little understanding of him, and even the artist and actor under which agency he is is not known.
At present, the only thing I know is that the name is Chen Zaitian, male, born in 86, 24 years old, from Busan Metropolitan City, the address is unknown, the family is unknown, the art experience is unknown, etc...
The only constructive news report is that director Jang Hoon spoke highly of this newcomer's performance, and Song Kang-ho, Ko Chang-seok and others took good care of him, etc.
But after all, it's only the filming stage of the movie, and a lot of attention still has to stay on the filming, so even though such a news report came out, it failed to attract everyone's attention, maybe there will be a little little girl because of his appearance and their 'taste', a little attention, otherwise the vast majority of the people just take a look at it, and they ignore it...

Seoul National University, also known as Seoul National University, is the number one institution of higher learning in South Korea. It is known as "the highest university of the Korean nation". Seoul National University is ranked first in the world in South Korea and is one of the top institutions of higher learning in Asia, with two campuses, including Gwanak and Yeongeon.
The main campus is located at the foot of Gwanaksan Mountain on the south bank of the Han River and in the southern suburbs of Seoul, 16 kilometers away from the city center, with an area of 4.3 square kilometers.
The last weekend of September, this early morning on Friday the 25th.
After passing through the iconic metal frame gate of Seoul National University's Gwanak Campus, Chen Jae-cheon inquired and said that he had come to apply for admission, and was taken to the admissions office by a kind student.
"Huh? What about people? Chen Zaitian came to the admissions office, shook his head and looked at it a few times, but he didn't see the old man who 'scolded' him for more than ten minutes yesterday afternoon.
Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that the other party is so angry with himself. Since the first time they met, the two had a very happy conversation, understanding that Chen Zaitian had not been able to go on to university and serve in the military after graduating from high school. The second time they met, the old man directly said that he wanted to introduce him to the language department of Seoul National University.
Although Chen Zaitian also thought in his heart that he had indeed changed to apply for the exam to get a diploma, he had to say. He's been really busy lately. He was so busy that he really forgot about it. After all, it doesn't matter if he studies in this university or not. Because in order to invite and wait for Jiang Dongyuan to star and failed to find a suitable actor to replace him, Zhang Xun spent nearly two more months for this, which was already too much delay in the original production plan. For this. Zhang Xun had to rush to the line. In this way, it will be possible to catch up with the planned release date.
The filming period of more than three months was compressed into one and a half months by Zhang Xun, which is very important for the good ball of the actors and staff. Fortunately, most of the scenes in this film revolve around Chen Jae-tian and Song Kang-ho, although it was also delayed for two months. But during this time, Zhang Xun and other production teams were not idle, and the shooting scenes were determined, planned and arranged early. In the performance of the two of them, the filming work went very smoothly, and Chen Zaitian's acting skills were naturally rising because of the guidance of Song Kang-ho, Bong Joon-ho, Lee Cang-dong and Jang Xun. It is also in such a situation that seeing Chen Zaitian's hard work and sharp changes in his acting skills in his heart, Zhang Xun will praise and support his performance in the media.
It was also Chen Zaitian's good luck, the content of today's filming was all carried out at night, the content was to shoot a piece of Song Kanghao who was chased by a group of hooligans in a construction site, and then Chen Zaitian appeared in time to save him, and the two began to contact each other in the film. Therefore, after answering the old man's call, he promised that the other party would come to Seoul National University this morning to register.
But now that I've arrived, why haven't I seen anyone?
Originally, Chen Zaitian wanted to call and ask, but thinking that he was a junior, it shouldn't matter if he waited for the old man for more than ten or twenty minutes, so he stood honestly in the corridor outside under the strange eyes of some school staff who came and went in and out of the office. One stop is really twenty minutes.
It's been a long time since I've been on a university campus, but the campus environment inside Seoul National University is really nice.
The garden-like campus is decorated with colorful colors and looks even more vibrant. The unique style of the school buildings, decorated with verdant trees and delicate flowers, add a vigorous vitality, forming a kind of artificial beauty and natural beauty. The flowers and trees beside the school road swayed in the wind, bringing a faint fragrance of flowers, sending a burst of fresh grass, and bringing the breath of learning, refreshing and intoxicating!
"Who are you and what are you doing here!"
Chen Zaitian was standing in front of the open window of the corridor, looking at the campus scenery in the distance while waiting, but at this time, a slightly majestic question suddenly came from behind him.
Chen Zaitian looked back and saw that it was a man about fifty years old with his hair combed meticulously and sitting upright, and he immediately bowed at 90 degrees. "Hello, my name is Chen Zaitian, and I'm here to apply for admission."
"Apply for admission?!" The man was stunned for a moment, but nodded slightly. "Hello, I'm Kim Chang-ki, Dean of Academic Affairs at Seoul National University." With a hint of scrutiny, he looked at the young man in front of him, who was delicate but exuded a faint mature and steady atmosphere. Because after he had finished bowing to his standard and energetic bow, he stood there calmly and with a comfortable smile on his face, neither humble nor arrogant.
This is a very nice young man!
Kim Chang-gi said secretly in his heart. At least it's much better than the few campus students he just met who behaved frivolously and lost their minds. But the young man's words amused him.
"Applying for admission? Do you know when our university application deadline is? ”
"Huh? What is the time limit? When Chen Zaitian heard Jin Changji's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and only after half a sound did he unnaturally come out: "Is there still a specified time?" "He really didn't know about this, but it's right to think about it, that school doesn't have a time limit for admission, but he was called directly by the old man.
Sure enough, Kim Chang-gi couldn't help laughing. "Of course, we have an admissions office here, and we have undergraduate, master's, doctoral, and MBA admissions here. The acceptance time for admission applications is from April 26th to July 29th, Chen Zaitian, right, you are too late. ”
April 26 to July 29! Isn't it, could it be that he was tricked by the old man?
Well, wait, he remembered that the old man said that he should go to the admissions office of the language center, but he didn't pay much attention to it just now, thinking that the admissions office was all together, in fact, it was the same from Kim Changji's words just now, but he didn't mention the admissions office of the language center.
Come to think of it. Chen Zaitian probably went to the wrong office. Hurriedly embarrassed to Kim Chang-ki, he bowed deeply and said apologetically: "I see." I'm sorry, but I went to the wrong office, and I should have gone to the admissions office of the language center to apply for the exam. ”
"Language center? Well, that's right. The language center's autumn cram school is a bit late. But it is possible. Just right. Kim Chang-gi heard Chen Jae-tian's answer. Nodding. Language tuition classes outside the campus are fine. He was full of affection for young people, and he couldn't help but say with concern: "What language class are you going to sign up for?" ”
Cram school? Language classes?
Chen Zaitian was stunned again, how could he listen to it the same as he thought.
Chen Jaecheon couldn't help but ask Kim Chang-ki, "Is this language class considered Seoul National University?" ”
Kim Chang-gi, of course, understood what Mr. Chan meant. The more I think this young man is funny. "To put it simply, it is a language training course set up by Seoul National University, a language center for foreign teachers, and a language learning place for international students who have applied for admission but are not good at Korean, and when they reach the language level 5 level, they need to be judged by a professional professor before they can enter the professional course.
Strictly speaking, it is not part of our internal student category at Seoul National University, and the real admissions of Seoul National University are here. Just because you take a language class doesn't mean you can go to Seoul National University. What is your situation? ”
"Uh... I look like I've been deceived..."Chen Zaitian couldn't help but think about it. The emotional old man asked himself not to go to Seoul National University to study, but to get a language class to fool himself. However, thinking of the old man's calmness and righteousness, as well as the connotation and atmosphere revealed by his words and deeds, Chen Zaitian was confused again.
Hearing Chen Zaitian's words, Kim Changji's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, it's not like nothing like this has never happened. In particular, some people at home and abroad often use this language center to deceive many people who do not know the situation, and make them pay money, thinking that they have entered Seoul National University, but in fact they are just attending a training course at a language center.
However, most of these things appear in some foreign students who want to study in South Korea, and many people don't understand the situation, so they fall for those intermediaries. However, Kim Chang-gi didn't expect that Chen Zaitian, a South Korean, didn't know why he fell into such a situation.
Chen Zaitian had no choice but to simply tell the old man that he had asked him to apply for admission to Seoul National University this morning. In fact, he didn't have much to lose, and he didn't give money anyway.
"Let's go, I'll go with you and have a look." As the director of academic affairs, this aspect is also Kim Chang-ki's job.
"Thank you." Chen Zaitian said gratefully.
"What major did you want to apply to Seoul National University?"
"Majoring in languages, majoring in English."
"Oh, so how much English are you?"
"IELTS 6.0 or above."
This made Kim Chang-ki a little surprised, no wonder this young man who looked like he was already twenty-three or four-year-old still came to apply for Seoul National University, it turned out to be really a bit of material.
Seoul National University's expression conditions are quite relaxed, one of which is that if you have IELTS 6.0 or above or other English scores equivalent to this score, you can apply directly with English scores, of course, the higher the English score, the more certain, because Koreans attach great importance to English scores.
On the way to the language center with Chen Zaitian, Kim Chang-gi took the initiative to talk to him. But just as he was about to talk in detail, Chen Zaitian's phone rang. Thinking it was the old man, Chen Zaitian hurriedly took out the phone from his trouser pocket.
Well?! But it's not the old man, but Hyomin.
This girl, how can she have time to call herself!
Come to think of it, since her debut, she really hasn't seen her for a while, but she often calls at night to 'harass' herself.
"Hey, Xiaomin, what's wrong?" The relationship between the two is naturally self-evident, and after an apologetic gesture to Kim Chang-ki, Chen Zaitian stood aside and answered the phone.
"Oppa, what are you doing?" Xiao Min's voice came from Nini, if it was usual, Chen Zaitian would still smile with her affectionately and say a few more intimate words. But his current situation is clearly not suitable.
"I'm busy with something, is there something going on?"
"What are you busy with, filming?"
Regarding Chen Zaitian's filming and starring in the movie, as well as Chen Zaitian's brother-in-law being Bong Joon-ho and other related backgrounds, the girl was naturally overjoyed and exclaimed. It's been more than once that he's been messing around with these things.
"No, it's something else."
"Oh, that's nothing, we're going to record the MBC Mid-Autumn Festival special, and we're waiting for the bus to pick it up." It should be a little boring to wait, so the girl took the opportunity to call Chen Zaitian, wanting to talk to him to relieve her boredom. Seeing that he was busy, the girl replied sullenly.
"Xiaomin, that's the case first, I'll call you later." Saying sorry to the girl, Chen Zaitian hurriedly hung up the phone, ran back to Kim Chang-gi, and continued to walk towards the language center. (To be continued......)
