Chapter 375: Telling a Good Story (2)
Lee Seung-woo looked calm, and did not immediately solve Li Suxi's doubts, but asked Li Suxi a question first.
"There are two people like this: a person has a superior family background since he was a child, has both talent and appearance, has grown up all the way without encountering any setbacks, wants to enter the entertainment industry and has his parents' connections to pave the way for him, and if he wants to appear in film and television, he will immediately have a big director arrange roles for him, and just the first work, he became popular and quickly became famous. And the other person, who grew up in a poor family and lived in embarrassment, wanted to be an actor but couldn't find any way, so he could only work part-time to earn tuition fees, sign up for acting training classes, and work hard to fight for every opportunity.
Until one day, his efforts finally ushered in the favor of fate, and luck befell him. He was valued by a director, played a small role, and since then he has barely entered the threshold of the showbiz, and then won the recognition of the director and the audience step by step with his acting skills that he had worked hard to hone, and finally succeeded after suffering and became famous.
Do you think that two people in such different circumstances, which one will make the audience more empathetic, more preferred, and more admired? β
Li Suxi was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then reacted quickly.
She looked at Lee Seung-woo with shiny eyes, and vaguely guessed what Lee Seung-woo wanted to express. - Of the two types of people listed by Lee Seung-woo, isn't she the latter?
Li Suxi said decisively: "The second kind." β
Lee Seung-woo knowingly asked, "Why?" β
Li Suxi said: "After all, the rich people in this world are a minority, and most of them are poor people at the bottom. The poor will not empathize with the rich, and the poor will only feel the poor. Cinderella meets the prince, the ugly duckling becomes a white swan, and the poor boy Jack chases the rich girl Rose in "Titanic", these are the stories that the audience likes and likes more. β
Li Chengyou nodded and smiled: "I'm glad that you understand this truth, and I hope you can always remember the truth you talked about today." β
Looking at Li Suxi, Li Chengyou said: "So, if you want to change from an ugly duckling to a swan, and from Cinderella to a princess, the first thing you have to do well is to create a good story for yourself." Only if your story is told well, you can make the audience empathize with you and make the audience prefer you, so that you will have an easier road in the future and go further. β
"What am I going to do?" Li Suxi immediately asked.
Lee Seung-woo glanced at the tattoo on Lee So-hee's arm again: "The first step is to remove the tattoo on your arm first." If you want to be an actor, you must first maintain a good image, your image is biased, most people will directly deny you, and they don't bother to understand you at all. β
Li Suxi nodded, she understood very much.
Li Chengyou said: "The second step, it is now the end of July, approaching August, and there are still more than three months before the November college entrance examination. In these three months, you will have to concentrate and do your best to get into Dongguk University. β
"Huh?"
Li Suxi was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Why?" β
"Because of me!"
Lee Seung-woo said: "Because I was born at Dongguk University, because I promised you before, as long as your acting skills meet the standards I recognize, I will definitely give you a chance in the future." So, it's a good story. This story has a cause, so it also needs to have a process and an effect. It's like Cinderella meets the prince and leaves the crystal slipper as a token. My previous promise to you was the crystal slipper, and because of my promise, you saw hope, saw the direction, and then worked hard to get into Dongguk University and stand in front of me, which is the process necessary for a good story.
After that, I naturally saw your tenacity and excellent qualities, signed you into my company, and offered you the opportunity to perform, and this is the result of the story.
The cause, process, and result are all there, and this story can be regarded as having a perfect ending.
This story will give you an inspirational aura, and it will also become a good story for the audience to see, and it will also maintain a bond between us, paving the way for me to provide you with opportunities to help you become popular in the future, and eliminate most of the suspicions that you rely on unspoken rules to get to the top.
Because the story makes you an inspirational figure, your image must be as perfect as possible.
Now you get it? β
Lee So-hee nodded quickly, her eyes faintly shining, and she looked at Lee Seung-woo's gaze, half amazement, half admiration.
She finally understood why Lee Seung-woo was so young, and it only took just over two years to rise to fame and reach his current status. Sure enough, anyone's success is not a fluke. In such a short period of time, Lee Seung-woo considered the follow-up arrangements for her, and even created an inspirational story for her. With such cleverness and resourcefulness, if Lee Seung-woo can't succeed, she really can't think of anyone else who can succeed.
But.
Facing Lee Su-hee's amazed and adoring eyes, Lee Seung-woo didn't feel much, just looked at Lee Su-hee calmly, and said, "So, the second step, you need to be admitted to Dongguk University in more than three months." Not only to build a good story, but also to yourself. You only have a high school education, which is still too low. In the future, if you want to go further and higher in the entertainment industry, your education is a stepping stone.
Although acting skills are the foundation, if you don't have a degree, you can't even enter some thresholds, let alone want to enter a higher level.
And because of this.
This is also the last level I set for you.
Only after more than three months, when your college entrance examination results reach the threshold of entering Dongguk University and you successfully enter Dongguk University, will I sign you into the company and provide you with the opportunity to appear and help you become famous.
But if you can't get thereβ
I don't want to waste my time and energy on people who don't have talent and value. β
Li Suxi was stunned again when she heard this.
But the next second.
Taking a deep breath and looking into Lee Seung-woo's eyes, Lee So-hee nodded solemnly.
Li Chengyou is willing to give her a chance, and even arranged and paved the way for her, if she still can't grasp such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, then what qualifications and face do you have to seek help from Li Chengyou.
Lee Seung-woo can help her for a while, but he can't help her for a lifetime.
A woman like her who 'sells herself for glory' and seeks help from Lee Seung-woo, she will not be the first, and she will definitely not be the last.
And because of this.
She never felt that relying on her appearance could make Lee Seung-woo obedient to her and give her what she wanted.
For Lee Seung-woo, there are too many women like her.
Scarcity is expensive.
Since it is not scarce, if you want to get more resources from Lee Seung-woo, you can only rely on yourself.
Only when she has this value herself, will Lee Seung-woo invest corresponding resources in her.
From the beginning, Lee So-hee was well aware of this.
So.
Looking at Lee Seung-woo, Lee So-hee nodded solemnly and secretly made up his mind.
