"Idol, isn't it just a young artist who sings, dances, and engages in acting?" Krystal didn't understand why Jessica was asking this suddenly, and she thought Jessica was deliberately diversioning the topic.

"I think I should tell you a story first." Jessica laughed, Li Jingming had talked to her a lot about the meaning of Idol, and there were two classes that she felt were the most important, and today she felt the need to relay the content of one of the lessons to Krystal, Krystal is not small, And S.M's side is now making preparations with both hands, if the comeback of Girls' Generation does not go well, it is likely to launch a new girl group to make up for the market demand, Krystal is very hopeful to debut in the next girl group, she has to tell Krystal in advance something she should know, "Do you know Leather Marion?" ”

"Who's that?" Krystal is only in his second year of junior high school, and he has to take care of the practice courses of S.M. Company, plus he is more playful, and he usually doesn't read any extracurricular books, of course, he doesn't know the characters in Greek mythology.

"Leather Marion was the king of Cyprus in Greek mythology, he was proficient in carving, and he didn't like mortal women, so he carved a statue of himself with his own hands, a statue of a perfect woman." Jessica's straightforward personality makes it difficult to tell a story interestingly, but Krystal listens attentively, and she rarely sees such a solemn expression on Jessica's face.

Seeing that Krystal was not distracted, but listened attentively, Jessica said with relief, "The king of Cyprus did not marry the mortal woman, but poured all his love into this statue that he named Latea, and prayed like a god to make Lataya his wife, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, was moved by him. Giving life to this sculpture and uniting the two, what do you think of the story? ”

"It's just a myth." Krystal, who is only fifteen, is not as good as Jessica, who is already twenty, in this regard, and Jessica has understood a lot after listening to the story told by Li Jingming, but Krystal needs a more detailed answer.

"Then listen to the story of another leather Marion, who is not the king of Greek mythology, but George Bernard Shaw's professor of linguistics, Higgins." Undeterred by Krystal's ignorance, Jessica tells a second story, "Professor Higgins made a bet with his newfound friend after a party that he could turn a vulgar low-level woman into a duchess in half a year, and he fell in love with Eliza, a girl who sells flowers. Then he did, but Eliza left him and married someone else. Comparing the two stories, haven't you found a little inspiration? ”

"Inspiration?" Krystal found it inexplicable, but these were just two stories.

Jessica scratched her head, she also knew that she was not the material for storytelling, so she had to repeat what Li Jingming said, "People and statues are different, and this is the meaning of putting these two stories together." ”

"A lot of people. I can even arbitrarily say that the vast majority of people are dissatisfied with everything in real life, including other people in reality, who deny the reality of the world, but they are extremely determined in their inner desires, and if they can't find it, they will create. The creation of a perfect image or group of perfect images is the formation of the rudiments of religion. Jessica is now unconsciously imitating Li Jingming's demeanor, movements and tone of voice, and she is already immersed in her own memories, "but with the progress of society and the development of science." It has long been understood that it is inappropriate to place one's heart on religion, so in the modern society where the entertainment industry is developed, smart people invented 'Idol' and popularized it. ”

"Idol is a sculpture in the hands of Leather Marion. It is perfect, and it must be perfect, and if it is not perfect, it will be transformed, or simply destroyed. Even if there are some small imperfections, they will be covered up by the carver in various ways, and some people even turn a blind eye to those imperfections. But the idols themselves don't think of themselves as statues, they are people, living people, so just like Eliza, the flower girl, they will eventually leave, even if they have been changed beyond recognition, they still will not stay with those who have changed them, this is the difference between people and sculptures. Jessica agrees with Lee, or rather, Bernard Shaw, who wrote the play to satirize the hypocrisy of the middle class, and Lee told Jessica what a real fan is.

"You make mistakes, no one doesn't make mistakes, the most obvious is like the people at TVXQ, you see, there are people who will desperately defend them, but there are also people who desperately defend them. Are they really as grateful as they say they are for those who defend them? No, they don't have that idea at all, and they shouldn't be. Originally, Li Jingming used girlhood as an example, but Jessica did not follow Li Jingming's words for emotional reasons, but replaced it with TVXQ, "A lot of people who defend them are just defending for the sake of maintaining, they turn a blind eye to those obvious facts, is it because they are crazy? No, they are not crazy, just because they have never been defending TVXQ, what they maintain is only the sculpture carved by their own hands, and what they maintain is only an image created in their hearts. ”

"The people who point out the mistakes you've made, and continue to support you, encourage you, and help you get through, truly love you." Jessica looked Krystal in the eye because she could see her own reflection in it, "And those who desperately try to hide and deny the mistakes you have made, no matter how much they shout to love you, no matter how much they defend you, they are simply loving themselves. ”

"We're Latea, and we're Eliza." Jessica concluded.

"Isn't that scary?" Krystal felt a little dazed, she had watched her sister sweat for the goal of being on stage since she was a child, and when Jessica finally debuted as an entertainer to shine in front of thousands of fans, she was envious and at the same time more determined to follow the path her sister walked, but today's words from Jessica made her have to re-examine everything that seems to be extremely beautiful.

"No, they're them, we're us." Jessica laughed, it was a great feeling to teach others like Li Jingming, except when she was counting the money and preparing to go out to dinner, Krystal rarely listened to her so carefully, "I said that just so that you don't lose yourself in those hypocritical voices in the future, it will ruin your life." ”

Artists are the profession that is most likely to lose themselves, especially the idol who eats by popularity, and many popular idols lose themselves in such a situation and become a person who can't even recognize their mother. Taking TVXQ as an example, the fairy queens always insist that TVXQ is right, they are right to lip-synching, they are right to go to nightclubs, they are right to kneel to Japanese people, and it is right to mess around with fans, and the members of TVXQ themselves think they are right, and their attitude changes can be seen from their humility and politeness at the beginning to their resolute and unapologetic later.

"Ernie, what are you telling me to do with this?" Krystal already understood what Jessica meant, but she felt that these things were completely useless to her, she was just a trainee and was in her second year of junior high school, so it was too early to tell herself about these things, "Also, are you deliberately diverting the topic for your brother-in-law?" ”

"It's not a digression, the two are linked, I have long known about his stinky problems, but if you love him, you have to accept him, many things must be corrected by yourself, and others will only help more and more." Jessica rubbed Krystal's head, Li Jingming's problem is that his ears are soft, as long as it is a familiar beauty, he will basically be satisfied without violating the principle, although he does not have the kind of in-depth communication, but he always helps others to give others convenience and benefits, and others will naturally become dependent on him and want to get close to him.

In fact, Jessica also knows that she has subjective emotions that affect her own opinions, Li Jingming is not only like this to familiar women, but also to Liu Zaishi and their men, and they have never shirked the help they can help. It's just that Li Jingming helps men, and Jessica doesn't care about going out to drink and eat with men, etc., for example, Li Jingming has often gone out with Kim Jong Kook to go to the gym or play football, and then have a meal and sing and the like, Jessica is not good at all. But it's different when she is a woman, she also goes out to work out and then eats and sings after she comes out, Lee Kyung-myung and Sung You-ri and Kim Tae-hee are very uncomfortable when they go out. Although Jessica spoke very generously in front of Krystal, a glorious image of a mother, she actually ate all the vinegar she should have eaten, but she didn't open her mouth to let others smell the vinegar.

"Also, it's not too early to tell you this, do you think your debut is really something out of reach?" Jessica gave Krystal a blank look, she was also a little jealous, she had spent seven years to make her debut, but Krystal had only been practicing for a long time, and Krystal was still a playful personality who didn't work hard.

"Really? Ernie: What's the inside scoop? Krystal asked excitedly. (To be continued......)
