Chapter 720: Closest Relatives (3)
In the eyes of the people, artists are well-dressed, and they can earn a month's or even a few months of salary from ordinary office workers in just a few days, hours, and minutes. The artist always wears brand-name clothing, wears expensive jewelry and watches, drives a luxury car, eats delicacies from the mountains and seas, and all the best things can be reflected from the artist.
The hatred of the rich can be found everywhere, and even in economically developed areas, you can also see the poor and homeless at will. Artists are not professionals in the eyes of elites, but artists can earn far more generous remuneration than professionals, and they go in and out of high-end venues, and they are always graceful and beautiful in front of people, which has also led to the emergence of a group of artists in South Korea, ---Anti.
But ordinary people only see the beautiful side of the artist, but they don't notice the hard work of the artist, or they notice it but deliberately ignore it. Korean artists can only become trainees through countless selections, and they can win the opportunity to make their debut through countless eliminations. Even GagMan, who is at the bottom in the eyes of the people, needs to go through long-term study and training after entering the comeddy star training class of the TV station, and only after passing the assessment can he get the opportunity to appear on camera.
Get up from before dawn to catch up with your schedule; At noon, I couldn't sit down and eat a good meal at all; I don't know when I'll be able to eat at night; Often, dinner is settled with supper; In the morning, let alone sleep peacefully, he sat in the car to rush to the next schedule; It may be less than four hours off in a day, and it is not uncommon to stay up all night. This is the life of an artist, and this is the arrangement of an artist's day.
Seoul is not only the political, economic, and cultural center of the Republic of Korea, but also the headquarters of the three major television stations and the headquarters of most of the artist agencies. It doesn't matter if you're from Jeju Island or Busan, whether you're from Jeollanam-do or Gyeongsangnam-do, if you become an artist, you're bound to settle down in Seoul.
And Xing Qianmi's mother worries that even if South Korea is small, even if it only takes more than an hour to fly from Jeju Island to Seoul, but after all, leaving home, leaving the hometown where he lived since childhood, leaving his relatives who take good care of him, and living and working independently in the strange place of Seoul, to say something in his heart: it is absolutely impossible to miss home.
But the work of artists has completely changed the habits of life, artists do not have public holidays like office workers, and people do not have the opportunity to travel and take vacations. Artists may not be able to see their parents for days, months, or even a year in order to shoot a play, go on a fixed show, or even release an album, and some of them forget to connect to the phone because they are too busy and tired from work.
Just like when she was a girl, Taeyeon's family lived in Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, which took four or five hours by car and two or three hours by subway. After her debut from Taeyeon, whether it was the Mid-Autumn Festival or the Lunar New Year, she couldn't find time to go home to reunite with her family, so she could only use her mobile phone to send blessings to her family.
For example, Sunny and Tiffany, both of their families live in the United States, even if their uncle is in Seoul, it is not so easy for Soon-gyu to meet Director Lee so-man. What's more, what Shun Gyu is most afraid of is her strict black-faced god uncle, so as not to have nothing to do to see him to find a smoke.
Tiffany's mother died when she was thirteen years old, and she came to Korea alone at the age of fifteen to live as a trainee. Her father and siblings both live and work in the United States. Even if there is Zixi, an OPPA who loves her very much, and even if there are group members who are like sisters around her, Tiffany sees other people's families reuniting every New Year's holiday, and the longing for family in her heart is not enough for outsiders. Unfortunately, there is a time difference of more than 10 hours between the United States and South Korea, and it is not so convenient to talk on the phone, so I can only rely on e-mail to tell the latest situation and send care.
A group of little girls with an average age of less than 20 years old work more than 10 hours a day, and they can't see their loved ones to tell them about their hard work; Tired and tired, tears and sweat, no one can give comfort and support. No matter how hard and tired they are, their faces are always filled with lovely smiles, they are always so lively and cheerful, and they can always give people a feeling of vitality. But who can see the bitterness in their hearts, the tiredness in their hearts, and the longing for their relatives in their hearts?
Zixi is the closest person to them, even if the girls don't say it, he can feel it clearly, because Zixi empathizes. He was also away from his family, and whenever the night was quiet, he would miss it very much.
coincided with Tiffany's twenty-first birthday, and Zixi wanted to take this opportunity to give the girls an unexpected surprise. He personally called Tiffany's family in the U.S. and Sunny's family to provide them with round-trip airfares. He also asked Song Ki-beom and Kwon Tae-yong to go to Jeonju and Gwang-gwang. The cities of Seoul and Goyang brought all the families of Taeyeon, so-young and Yoo-ri to Seoul.
For this surprise, Zixi has been preparing for more than a week, and it has to be kept secret for all insiders, in order to send this surprise and blessing as a gift on Tiffany's birthday. But now it seems that his goal has been achieved. Didn't you see the nine girls nestled in their parents' arms, with tears on their little faces, but reuniting with their families with knowing smiles? Zixi was very satisfied with this result, and she was happy for them in her heart.
Zixi, who came to the outer hall, naturally would not treat the group of unknown heroes standing behind Girls' Generation. All the ingredients in the barbecue shop are freshly purchased today, and all the staff will provide them with the best and best service. Zixi deliberately asked Luo Xiuzhe to cancel all the rest of Girls' Generation's itinerary today, so that they could spend a day with their families, and also let the group of agents, stylists and makeup artists have a good time. Because in the next few days, whether it is Girls' Generation or this group of heroes behind it, I don't know when they will be given the opportunity to meet and rest with their families.
"Everyone has a good meal today, the wine tube is enough, the meat tube is full, and I haven't been able to enjoy it after eating, I have booked a practice song hall, you can continue to play." In short, everyone should be happy and happy today, and not get drunk and go home. Zixi was the first to raise the wine glass in his hand and toast to the group of people sitting below.
"Yo! Daihatsu! Both men and women, most of them were young people, and they all shouted with joy when they heard Zixi's words.
As an artist's agent, stylist, makeup artist, and assistant, no matter where the artist goes, no matter what time the artist works, no matter whether the weather is hot or cold, they need to support the artist silently, provide the best and most stable guarantee for the artist, and don't let the artist worry about trivial things, this is their job and responsibility.
No one knows how busy and tired they are, and no one cares about their names. But it is they who provide the most perfect and high-quality service for artists to show their most perfect side in front of people.
Zixi's words have been spoken, and everyone is no longer polite. For a while, the baking trays on several tables were already filled with Korean beef, pork belly and all kinds of seafood, and soon the aroma of meat came out. Bottles of soju were opened, bottles of beer were poured into the glasses, and everyone had begun to stagger the glasses, so lively.
In the room, the nine girls were already chatting with their families and starting to barbecue. The daughter whose parents did not stop the move, they all smiled at their daughter, who had become a member of a girl group based on the music industry, and her heart was full of pride and pride.
Although the nine members of Girls' Generation are like a family, this is the first time that nine families have gathered together like this, and many of them have seen the family members of their daughter group for the first time. They were all happy to introduce each other and communicate with each other. When talking about how long it took him to see his daughter, everyone smiled helplessly; talked about her daughter's naughty and naughty when she was a child, and there was a hearty laugh; When she talks about her daughter's achievements, her face is full of amazement and pride.
Tired for their children, tired for their children, and heartbroken for their children, which parent in the world doesn't feel sorry for their own flesh and blood? What parent in the world can bear to see their children suffering and be indifferent? Although Girls' Generation has successfully debuted now, and has achieved good results in singing, actors, DJs, and MCs, which parent can't feel the hard work and sweat of their daughter after seeing such results?
Even if the daughter's face is still plump, the parents will caress it distressedly and ask with concern: "Didn't you eat well?" Look at your face that's thin. ”
Looking at their daughter's bright eyes and holding their daughter's slender little hand, parents will be concerned: "Usually pay more attention to rest and nutrition, pay attention to your body, and see a doctor when you are sick, don't always brace yourself." If you encounter any difficulties, you must tell your family, we will always be your strongest backing. The hearts of the parents and the girls all felt that the tears in their eyes had never dried up, and they had been flowing.
"Where's Zixi?" After Tiffany's father and daughter finished speaking, they looked up but didn't see Zixi here, so they asked curiously, "I saw him here just now, why did he disappear all of a sudden?" I still want to thank him well! ”
Sunny's father followed, "yes! He personally called to ask our family to come back, and arranged all the itineraries for us, so that our family could have a good reunion, and I really don't know how to thank him. ”
"Did OPPA arrange for you to come back?" Tiffany asked, surprised.
Tiffany's brother Leo nodded and said, "yes! As early as a week ago, Zachary called us to come to Korea to celebrate your birthday and arrange our round-trip flights and hotel accommodation. He told us not to tell you, saying that it was a surprise for you. ”
Father Li also said: "That's right, I also received a phone call a week ago, telling me to keep it a secret from Shungui. ”
Tiffany's beautiful smiling eyes had shed enough tears today, but when she heard everything Zixi had arranged for her, tears couldn't help but gush out again, and she looked outside and said secretly in her heart: "OPPA!" Thank you! ”
Yuna's father and mother glanced at each other, and Father Lin proposed: "The girls debuted together as a group, and they were as close as sisters." Although it was the first time for our nine families to meet and gather, we should have more exchanges and contacts in the future. Everyone nodded involuntarily.
Dad Lin continued with a smile: "Everyone has their own jobs and lives, so there is naturally a lack of care for the girls. Usually I hear Yun'er talk about Zi Xixi's love and care for the girls, and my heart is full of gratitude. He did what we failed to do as parents, and I am very grateful for that. So I want to invite Zixi to come in, and we all have a good gathering together as a family. ”
"That's right! At the beginning, Meiying came to South Korea from the United States as a trainee, thanks to Zixi's careful care, otherwise I really didn't worry about her living here alone. Tiffany's father agreed: "Everyone can gather together today, and we, as parents, should really thank Zixi!" ”
The parents of the nine families all nodded, although several families saw Zixi for the first time, but whether it was from their daughter's mouth or from the media news, they could know that Zixi's care for Girlhood was really caring, so they agreed with Father Lin's words.
