Chapter 500: The First Meeting Between Bae Joo-hyun and Zhou Ziyu.
Mingyuan's life in the United States was very fulfilling.
Maybe the only thing that's not so good is that the schedule is not regular, often busy all night and then sleeping for two or three hours and getting up to work.
He seems to have found the feeling of being in the crew again, and there are new things to learn everywhere.
Netflix's special effects production, whether it is the filming mode of the movie, all represent the world's most advanced film industry system, and American entertainment works can be exported to the world, not relying on one or two art films, but a steady stream of industrialized works.
Foreign audiences may think that Netflix is all high-quality products, but in fact, a large number of high-quality products are piled up by countless bad movies.
First there is quantity, then there is quality.
The essence of Netflix's money-burning strategy in South Korea and the Asia-Pacific region is also this routine, and casting a wide net can always shoot the desired work.
What Mingyuan has to learn is the advanced model and rules and regulations, the kind of handicraft workshop style that is popular in East Asia with master-apprentice help is too inefficient, and there is no way to make bad movies like the United States.
"Sasha-chan, I'm going to work."
The man said into the phone with some reluctance, and Sasha Minato on the screen looked a little sleepy, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
Without Shiba Inu to put himself to sleep, he might not have been able to rest so well.
“……”
"What did you say?"
"I said, don't disturb my sleep when you wake up, get out."
Before Mingyuan could say anything more, Sasha Minato hung up the phone directly.
It's really romantic for two people to talk softly about something before going to bed, but when you wake up in the morning, you will feel too tired and crooked, and it is better to hang up the phone in time before you get tired of each other.
Mingyuan shook his head, he was sarcastically ridiculed by his girlfriend for a long time last night, Shiba Inu didn't want to lose his temper with Zhou Ziyu, so he could only express his emotions to his boyfriend.
"Hmm......" The man groaned for a moment, and took out his mobile phone to make a call to Zhou Ziyu before washing.
"Hey."
The phone was picked up quickly.
"Ziyu, haven't you slept yet?" There is a time difference between the United States and South Korea, and my early morning happens to be late at night on that side.
Didn't you see that Sasha Minato was sleepy?
"I ...... Not yet. ”
"Not happy?"
"A little."
Mingyuan put the phone aside, turned on the speakerphone, and then said while washing: "Ziyu, if it's because of my insomnia, then I'll feel very guilty." ”
"Brother, I'm not mad at you."
"And who are?"
"I'm mad at myself."
Zhou Ziyu hid in the quilt and replied sullenly.
She feels that her recent state of mind is very wrong, she will always be irritable for no reason, and even the situation of talking back at work has appeared several times, and her sisters joked that it is "Zi (Yu) spring" has arrived.
Sasha Minatosaki: I'm embarrassed to expose you for no reason.
"Then you're still mad at me."
"Brother, I don't have ......"
"You're not angry with yourself, you're angry at myself like me, aren't you?" Mingyuan wiped the water droplets off his face, picked up his mobile phone and said seriously.
The little one didn't answer because she felt that what her brother said made sense.
Isn't all my unhappiness and negative emotions brought about by this guy......
The man rubbed his washed face in front of the camera: "Then look at me, are you in a better mood?" ”
"Nope."
Zhou Ziyu took the phone away in disgust.
Who wants to look at that big face of this scoundrel, oops...... Let's take a screenshot first.
"Ziyu, you know, I like you very much, I like the kind I like very much."
"But, it's still not as good as Sana Oni, is it?" The little one asked faintly.
"You say, left hand or right hand, which is more important to me."
As a scumbag, Mingyuan is actually very good at sophistry, anyway, Zhou Ziyu is particularly easy to be fooled.
"Brother, you eat with your right hand."
"Then I'll ...... with my left hand," the man stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.
"What are you doing with your left hand?"
"In short, it's a very important thing...... Ziyu, you are my left hand. ”
It's better not to say that kind of grandchildren's affairs.
Zhou Ziyu: I always feel that the left hand will not be very useful at critical moments.
"However, not everyone will have two girlfriends......
The girl muttered.
"So none of them are as happy as me, Ziyu, you are the one who completes my life." Mingyuan said softly, others are not by Zhou Ziyu's side, so he can only try to comfort the little guy with words when he is unhappy.
"Brother, are you telling the truth?"
"Then do you think I'm lying to you?"
The man deliberately frowned, pretending to be sad, dealing with the kind-hearted Zhou Ziyu, it was more useful to sell miserably.
"Brother, I either doubt you, or ......" Zhou Ziyu hurriedly wanted to explain, she didn't mean to lose her temper.
"It's just jealous, right?"
"Hmm."
Mingyuan looked at the girl with her head down, and sighed silently: "Ziyu, if you are not jealous, I should doubt myself." ”
Zhou Ziyu didn't make a sound, just quietly listened to someone's nonsense.
Sometimes, what he says doesn't matter, but the attitude of his brother who is willing to coax himself is important.
"Ziyu, I hope that the Zhou Ziyu who is with me is still the Zhou Ziyu who can laugh from the heart, if I bring you only a burden, then ......"
"Brother, I didn't mean that." Zhou Ziyu hurriedly reached out to cover someone's mouth, although the mobile phone had no effect.
"You know what I'm going to say?"
"Didn't you mean to break up?"
"Of course not, you're my left hand, I was just going to say, I'll work harder to make you laugh."
Mingyuan looked at the little guy who seemed to be crying and felt very guilty, was it a bit too much of a bastard to fool such a kind girl......
But there was no way, he didn't want to really let Zhou Ziyu out.
If you want to eat more and occupy more, it all depends on a little means.
Of course, you have to be capable.
The dead scumbag hung up the phone after coaxing Zhou Ziyu to smile again.
"Alas, it's all self-inflicted." The man looked at the phone and shook his head, it was really difficult to balance the relationship between the two girls, and several hairs had fallen out.
It's easy to do things like Sun Caiying and Han Suxi, both of them have their own clear demands, everyone is in an equal relationship with each other, and there will be no other ideas.
Or like Bae Joo-hyun, you can firmly refuse if you know that you can't accept it, so that it will be easier to grasp the strategy occasionally.
To put it mildly, even if he really got off with the cabbage in the end or something, I'm afraid Bae Joo-hyun wouldn't ask for anything, at most he continued to emphasize that he wouldn't be with someone who had a girlfriend.
But Zhou Ziyu is different.
The little guy was willing to wronged himself to be with him when he knew that he and Sasha Minato were already together.
Fish, I want, Shiba Inu, I want, I also want, can't have both?
No, you can't have both.
Men, if you can't even get what you like, then what's the purpose of working so hard?
Fuck it.
Mingyuan brushed his chaotic thoughts for a while, simply changed his clothes, and then went out.
"Hey cam, good morning."
"Ming, good morning, you look good today." A chubby middle-aged man raised the coffee in his hand in response to Mingyuan's greeting.
"I got a call from a girlfriend in the morning, you know."
"That's so bad that every day when my wife wakes up our family, the neighbor's dog starts barking."
Mingyuan smiled cooperatively, although he didn't appreciate American humor very much, but the sadness of men was the same.
Cam is a kind guy that Mingyuan met during his stay, and he is also the person in charge of a film and television base in Hollywood, where you can completely observe the filming process of some crews.
Mingyuan was able to mix here thanks to Kim Min-young who left him a pass to visit and study on Netflix before leaving, which allowed him to have an official identity to do what he wanted to do.
"What, got a job today?"
The two men chatted while eating breakfast and coffee bought on the side of the road.
"I come here so early every day to make movies, it's all like this." Cam took a bite of half a sandwich and slurred, "How's it going?" ”
"Wilson said it was almost there."
Mingyuan now feels that half a month is completely insufficient, because there are too many things to learn.
He went back to discuss with Kim Min-young and Gu Guangguang to see if he could have a talent exchange with Netflix or other film and television companies or something, I believe that in addition to himself, there will be many people who are interested.
Talent exchange can not only learn things, but also build connections, which is very important in the Korean entertainment industry.
Flowers bloom outside the wall, and incense inside the wall.
Through Netflix's channels, they will launch their own works, win awards in the United States, and then feed back the reputation of the country, once this cycle is opened, then Netflix's position in South Korea will be unshakable.
"Ming, I've seen people like you before." Cam wiped his mouth and stuffed the finished breakfast bag into the trash,
"Am I fighting?"
"I haven't seen anyone who does all the work, oh no, I have."
"Who?"
"A few years ago, Huaxia would send people over to study, and a few of them were similar to you."
Mingyuan nodded, there is indeed a film talent exchange program between China and the United States, which is still public-funded, for example, the later director Guo Fan participated in this project, and similarly, some of them ...... It's hard to put into words.
For Americans, there is probably no way to change the stereotype of Asian rolls.
"We are students, of course we have to work harder, unlike you, who have a big family." Mingyuan patted Cam's shoulder.
Some things really have to be done little by little, otherwise you will always have to follow other people's butts.
……
Left hand?
Right hand?
Zhou Ziyu tossed and turned on the bed, his mind full of the analogy that Mingyuan had made for himself before.
"Ziyu, can't you sleep?"
Sun Caiying opened her mouth in a daze, and the little tiger is now beginning to envy the junior sisters for having their own independent rooms, at least not to be affected by the members' sleep.
"I'm sorry, Chaeyoung, did you disturb your sleep?"
"It's okay, I'll just bring earbuds."
Everyone has lived together for more than three years, and they have quarreled with each other, and now they have already figured out a set of ways to get along.
Kim Da-hyun slept peacefully with an eye patch.
Zhou Ziyu apologized embarrassedly, and then shrunk into the quilt and prepared to sleep, and put things that he couldn't figure out until later.
At least, that brother likes himself.
It is enough to have this.
The good is like water, and the husband is not fighting, so the world can not compete with it.
I'm sleeping, I'm going to the rehearsal stage tomorrow.
……
One day, the Red Velvet dormitory.
"Auntie, the side dishes you make are so delicious."
The expression on Sun Shengwan's face was very exaggerated, and he gave a thumbs up while eating.
Jiang Shiqi whined in her mouth, but she didn't make any meaningful syllables.
Mother Pei looked at the two brothers of 94line with a smile, and the elders all like to eat well, and they are blessed.
"Mom, when did you bring so many things?" Bae Joo-hyun stared suspiciously at the suitcase on the ground, and she even noticed that there was a sweater inside.
"You, don't pay attention to anything."
Pei's mother glanced at her daughter.
Red Velvet's dormitory has rules that even family members can't bring in at will, but it's okay for everyone to vote.
Bae Joo-hyun herself hasn't proposed it yet, she just mentioned it after she came back, and then the four younger sisters unanimously agreed to let Bae's mother come over.
They like to see the cabbage eating deflated, and the four of them have a high degree of common language with Bae Joo-hee.
"Haha."
Kim Yilin perfectly replaced the role of Bae Joo-hee, covering her mouth and snickering on the side.
As soon as Pei's mother came, she helped her daughter clean up the room, and the twenty-eight-year-old Bae Joo-hyun was on the side like her sisters who were usually reprimanded, which made everyone feel very happy.
"Ah, what are you laughing at?" Cabbage glanced at the busyness that was neither big nor small, fortunately Park so-young was not there when he went out to run the trip, otherwise it would be difficult for these two sisters to get together.
Mom is here, she can't get angry directly.
"Zhu Hyun Na ......" Pei's mother wiped her hands, and she was very happy to see that her daughter's members liked to cook their own side dishes: "This sweater, I want to give it to Mingyuan's child." ”
Red Velvet's dormitory suddenly became quiet, except for the sound of Jiang Shiqi chewing rice and spoons scraping bowls.
"Mom, what kind of sweater are you going to give him?"
Pei Zhuhyun glanced at Sun Shengwan and signaled her to control Jiang Shiqi, among the people present, I am afraid that only that sister will say the wrong thing.
Bears don't have much eyesight.
"That kid gave me and your father so many gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there should always be something to show it."
"That's not what he's supposed to do."
"After the two of you get married, I can accept the filial piety of my future son-in-law with peace of mind."
"Mom, what are you talking about!"
As soon as Bae Joo-hyun raised his foot, he wanted to kick Jin Yilin back to the room, some things are not suitable for children.
"Auntie, I think Mingyuan oppa is very good to Ernie, you don't know, I ...... last time" The little guy reacted quickly, and immediately got tired of Pei's mother's side.
"Really?"
"Well, I'll tell you......"
Bae Joo-hyun looked at Xinnei helplessly, but she couldn't say anything.
The relationship between myself and that guy...... It seems to be getting more and more complicated.
……
In the evening, the practice hall of the TV station.
Bae Joo-hyun accompanies Joy to participate in the cooperative pleasure practice because she really doesn't want to discuss someone's affairs with her mother.
She didn't know what Jin Yilin said, and now her family's impression of Mingyuan seems to be higher.
Troublesome.
When the others saw Bae Joo-hyun and Park so-young arriving, they got up and said hello.
Red Velvet, who debuted in 2014, is almost the earliest to debut in the four-generation group, and with the age of cabbage, it can be said that she is the eldest senior among the people present.
Park so-young handed over his bag and coat to Bae Joo-hyun, and then began to warm up.
At the end of the year, everyone is very busy, so every opportunity to rehearse together is very rare, and many details must be done as soon as possible.
A tall figure came straight to Bae Joo-hyun:
"Senior Bae Joo-hyun, hello, I'm Zhou Ziyu from TWICE."
