Zixi, a big money, invited to dinner, which is nothing new in the crew. In the past six months of cooperation, Zixi has successively invited everyone to dinner and coffee. If ordinary actors are really reluctant to spend so much money on treats, but Zixi is an exception--- not bad for money.

Of course, not everyone can go, and the people who have been seconded from the TV station, as well as the actors and staff who work in other jobs, can only sigh, and even director Kim Kyu-tae is in a hurry to go back and edit the footage just shot, and finally has to be replaced by another director Yang Yun-ho. Among the three leading actors, Kim Tae-hee just had an advertisement that needed to be filmed, so he had to leave first, and a group of nearly 100 people went to Yongsan. District.

Yongshan. As the old district of Seoul, the Yongsan base, which was once the largest military camp of the U.S. military in South Korea, is located in this area. In order to attract American soldiers with full money bags, a number of bars with western characteristics have opened in the area, among which Itaewon 1st Cave and Itaewon 2nd Cave are the most famous.

However, as the U.S. military activities have caused disruption to the surrounding residents, even though the U.S. military base has brought job opportunities and consumption stimulus to the residents in the area, the people still have a lot of disgust with the base. In addition, the land in the center of Seoul is very precious, and after the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the US Forces Korea Command have discussed some of the land inside the base, which has been gradually returned by the United States to the Seoul Metropolitan Government as an open space and public facility. Among them, Yongsan Family Park, the National Museum of Korea, the Korea War Memorial and other facilities are located, all of which were originally used for U.S. military facilities.

Although the U.S. military base has moved a lot, Yongsan. The bars around the district have not decreased, but many bars have been transformed into pubs with Korean characteristics, which have become a good place for surrounding citizens and college students to spend and socialize.

Due to the large number of crew members, it is really not easy for ordinary restaurants to accommodate them, and even if they can accommodate them, the restaurant lacks that lively atmosphere, so Zixi decided to put the dinner in Itaewon. Although it is the most famous residential area north of the Han River, and it is a famous business district in Seoul like Myeongdong and Apgujeong-dong, it still retains the characteristics of the old district of Seoul.

The tavern is huge, all of which are made of wood, and it doesn't feel crowded at all when it seats a hundred people. Not only does it offer a variety of soju, rice wine, beer, and sake, but it also serves delicious Korean specialties, most notably pork rib soup, miso soup, ginseng chicken soup, and kimchi soup. Of course, with Zixi's always boldness, such a happy thing, of course, everyone is invited to eat barbecue.

With so many people, and most of them young people in their twenties and thirties, it was inevitable that they would be noisy and lively. At first, everyone can maintain their manners and drink a few glasses of wine while chatting, but as the number of bottles on the table increases, the soju beer, commonly known as bomb wine, which is a mixture of shochu and beer, becomes the protagonist of the table.

Zixi is the actor of the TV series, and he has been nominated for many nominations for the "American Teen Choice Awards", so he naturally became the protagonist tonight. Before everyone drinks, the first glass of wine to be toasted must be Zixi. Fortunately, Zixi's alcohol consumption is very good, and he drank rice wine with a lower degree, so he didn't get drunk after drinking it at the table.

"Zixi! I'll toast you too. Kim Tae-hee had a job to do, and Kim So-yeon became the heroine. However, she is introverted, shy, and low-key, a typical slow-burning type, and she communicates with the crew far less than Zixi, a busy person, and is far less active than Kim Tae-hee in the play.

"Good!" Zixi gently touched the wine bowl with Kim So Yeon, and drank the off-white rice wine with an alcohol content of less than 10 degrees in one gulp.

Kim So-yeon and Zi-hee have been working together for half a year, and they both know each other a little bit about each other, and they find that they actually have a lot of common hobbies. For example, he also likes baseball and basketball, plays the piano very well, and can dance a variety of different dances. If it is said that before Zi-hee and Kim Tae-hee exposed the relationship between the two, Kim So-yeon had a certain affection for Zi-hee, then now what is left between the two is more friendship.

"I really envy you, you can step on such a high-level stage of film and television awards ceremonies, and compete with countless superstars in the world." Kim So-yeon took a sip of the rice wine in the wine bowl, sighed and said: "I have debuted for fifteen years, and I have only won one child star acting award, one best newcomer actress award and one supporting actress award in the actor category, and the rest are all popularity awards." ”

"What do you want to do? Many people have acted in a lifetime of plays, but in the end they didn't even get a merit award. Zixi said as she sandwiched a piece of freshly grilled meat into Kim So-yeon's bowl.

Kim So-yeon glanced at Zixi, threw the barbecue meat into her mouth with a pair of chopsticks, and chewed it vigorously, as if she had a great grudge against her, and said, "Can I take your words as a compliment to me instead of burying me?" ”

"Of course it's a compliment." Zixi turned a blind eye to Kim So-yeon's eyes, and continued to flip the barbecue that sounded on the baking tray and made a "sizzling" sound, "Take South Korea as an example, although there are three major film and television award ceremonies such as Qinglong, Daejong and Baeksang, the awards are already fixed. But every year, so many newcomers emerge in South Korea, and there are so many seniors with good acting skills who continue to work hard, we are not the front wave, let alone the back wave, and it is uncomfortable to be caught in the middle, and it is very good to be nominated. ”

Director Yang Yunhao, who was at the same table with them, drank a full glass of roast beer, added it and said, "Yes! Directors like us, don't look at us usually high up on the shooting site, in fact, we also want to win the best director award, even if it's just the annual acting awards of the TV station, we are all eager to wear it! ”

Speaking of winning awards, which artist is not all dreamed of? Don't say anything about the fame and fortune after winning the award, the recognition you get after winning the award alone is not in vain to spend your hard work in a TV series and a movie. Compared with actors such as Zixi and Kim So-yeon, how fierce is the competition for a TV station that produces nearly 100 TV dramas a year for a TV station that has signed a contract with a director like Yang Yunhao? If you want to win a prize, it will naturally be even more difficult.

"Don't stop me, I'm going to keep drinking." Zi-hee and Kim So-yeon were listening to Director Yang Yun-ho talk about the hardships of TV station directors, and a loud voice covered the originally noisy tavern and clearly reached Zi-hee's ears.

Girls are naturally indispensable in the crew, even among the staff, in makeup, styling, costumes, cameras, and audio, there are several girls in it. But most of these girls are juniors, and they are usually characters who listen to people in the crew, and they won't howl loudly in front of so many seniors at all.

"Huh! It doesn't seem to be someone from our crew. Director Yang Yunhao looked over. I saw three women sitting near the door, one of whom was obviously very drunk, and the other two tried to persuade their friends, but they were pushed by the drunken woman and almost fell.

Zixi didn't turn his head after looking at it, what he was most afraid of was a drunk woman, a woman at this time was completely unreasonable (in fact, it was unreasonable for a woman to be horizontal), Zixi had learned Li Xiaoli's drunken demeanor, and he still had palpitations.

"Which woman do I think I've seen there?" After Director Yang Yunhao took a look, he suddenly looked a little strange.

"Is it a friend that director Yang Yunhao knows?"

Director Yang Yunhao shook his head, carefully glanced at a drunk woman a few times, and after trying to search his memory, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was surprised: "I remember, but why is she here, still drunk like this, isn't she afraid of being known by the media?" ”

Kim So-yeon asked curiously, "Is she also an artist?" ”

"Hmm!" Director Yang Yunhao nodded vigorously, frowned and looked at the woman who continued to be drunk in the distance and said, "Do you still remember the [Tale of the Four Gods] starring Bae Yongjun two years ago? Seeing that Zixi and Kim So-yeon both nodded, Director Yang Yunhao picked his chin at the woman in the distance and continued: "If I remember correctly, which woman should be Lee Ji-ah who played the role of Suzaku Suzy-ni in [The Legend of the Four Gods]. At that time, she seemed to have won the Female Newcomer Award, the Women's Popularity Award and the Best Couple Award at the MBC Acting Awards that year, the 44th Baeksang Arts Awards Best Female Newcomer in the TV category, and was once the most charismatic actress of the year and the fastest popular female newcomer of the year by the media judges. I met at the MBC Acting Awards. ”

"Huh!" Kim So-yeon smiled and said, "Director Yang Yunhao must have seen that people are beautiful, so he remembered her, right?" He looks like he's still young. Kim So-yeon couldn't help but look sideways for a while when she heard Yang Yun-ho say that this woman named Lee Ji-ah, who seemed to have only debuted for two years, actually achieved such results.

Director Yang Yunhao said with a smile: "Don't say it, at that time, Director Kim Jong-hak of [The Four Gods of the Prince] went through more than 30 auditions, and she was selected after the last." Director Kim Jong-hak commented on her like this: 'Lee Ji-ah is an actor with Shen Yinhe's beauty and Gao Hyun-jeong's temperament, and her straightforward and generous actual appearance is very similar to the female warrior Su-ji-ni in the play'. can get such a high evaluation from Kim Jong-hak, but it is not easy to think of her. As for the age, I remember that the information on the TV station at that time was 78 years old, but the announcement of her agency was 81 years old, although I don't know if it's true or not. But according to the information of the TV station, she is also thirty-two years old this year, which can be regarded as a late bloomer. ”

"Won't it?" Kim So-yeon looked at Lee Ji-ah again, who had long hair combed into a side ponytail, wearing jeans and a short-sleeved white shirt, with a delicate and lovely face. I never thought that this beauty, who looks like she is only in her twenties at most, is actually two years older than herself?

"It's not like thirty-two." Zixi looked at Lee Ji-ah, then glanced at Kim So-yeon beside her, and shook her head.

"Yikes! What kind of eyes are you? Kim So-yeon kicked Zi-hee's calf and said hatefully. Although Zixi didn't say it, Kim So-yeon still understood the meaning in his eyes.

Just as Kim So-yeon touched her own thin cheeks full of resentment, why did a woman who was two years older than herself look so young? Li Zhiya is not a childlike face, is it a maintenance problem?

Over there, Li Zhiya had already pushed away the two friends who were blocking her, staggered over here, and shouted as she walked: "None of you are allowed to go, wait until I finish going to the bathroom and drink, we won't get drunk tonight." What do we do as women, we must have men to do it? None of you should think about going with any boyfriend, none of the men are good people, all of them are bastards. ”

Waiting for Li Zhiya to approach, Zixi took a closer look again. It is indeed very beautiful, and it looks very young, and with the right clothes to accompany it, the face is red after drinking, and it is even more delicate. If you insist on saying that she is a thirty-two-year-old mature woman, she will not believe it if she kills Zixi.

"Vomit" is not necessarily a disaster from the mouth many times, Zixi just looked at it a few more times, and he really had no distractions, but the retribution was still coming immediately.

Li Zhiya passed by Zixi's side, and suddenly the smell of alcohol surged, her mind was smoked by the wine, her legs couldn't support her weak body, and she just stabilized her body while holding on to the dining table, and the vomit rushed up from her stomach, and the vomit with sour smell couldn't stop vomiting.

"Ah......h Zixi had no way to dodge at all, and almost all of Li Zhiya's vomit was spit on him, from his chest to the crotch of his pants, mixed with the sour smell that made people want to vomit, and almost didn't smoke Zixi to faint.
