Korean Entertainment's Betrayal

"Alice in an Honest Country" filming scene.

The female staff whispered excitedly, whispering to each other.

"Dafa! It's Kim Soo Hyun who is here! I never thought he would come!"

"TOEFL Ren Zhenya came to act in this play, so we can see Professor Du! Do you think you can ask him for an autograph and a group photo later?"

"Kim Soo-hyun's reputation has always been very good, let's ask for it after they finish filming this take! Hush! Let's keep our voices down!"

"Alice in an Honest Country" tells the story of an oppressed low-level woman who has a weak and small resistance to society. The film contains a deeper level of metaphor and satire on current social events and phenomena.

After the heroine Zheng Xiunan graduated from middle school, she thought that continuing to study in high school would make her an elite. She obtained various qualification certificates, but in the end she found that she was still reduced to a female factory worker.

This short paragraph is actually an insinuation that today's Korean college students have taken a lot of insignificant qualifications for employment and a glamorous resume.However, the work they do in the end may not even have any connection with their major.

Zheng Xiunan married a deaf boyfriend. Just as the couple was saving money to buy a house, the husband suffered a work accident and broke off three fingers on his right hand. They could not get compensation from insurance and the factory. Her husband also suffered from depression and had to wait for a long time. At home, he watched his wife work hard for 9 years and had to borrow money from the bank to finally buy their house. He deeply felt that he was a drag on Zheng Xiunan, so he decided to commit suicide.

But his suicide was unsuccessful, he became a vegetable, and the burden of life on Zheng Xiunan's shoulders became heavier.

The doctor shook his feet a little nervously: "Well, medical expenses, is it very difficult for you?"

Zheng Xiunan lowered her head in shame, avoiding the doctor's sight. She knew that she owed a lot of medical expenses.

"...Do you know that there is a word, er, called death with dignity?" The doctor said with some embarrassment. Every time he conveyed this suggestion to the patient's family, it made him feel uncomfortable, "Many people will Confused with euthanasia, but the two are very different."

"That is to say, euthanasia is an inhumane method of forcibly suspending treatment and causing death for patients who still have hope for treatment." The doctor continued to bite the bullet, "Death with dignity is an inhumane method for patients with little hope. Insignificant or ineffective treatment, the noble life of the patient is handed over to a noble fate."

The doctor cleared his throat guiltily: "So you see, the difference is big...? Do you understand?"

"In short, euthanasia is illegal and death with dignity is legal."

Seeing the doctor's eloquent appearance, Zheng Xiunan replied blankly: "I will pay the medical bill as soon as possible, doctor."

"OK! CUT!"

Looking at the monitor, director An Guozhen raised the walkie-talkie with a look of satisfaction on his face: "One pass! Very good!"

Originally, Kim Soo Hyun would come as a guest star, which was a surprise for the entire production team, not to mention that he came to the scene and quickly memorized his lines on the spot, and he and Ren Zhenya just passed the scene, Any director would be delighted with this.

After Kim Soo Hyun finished taking pictures with the studio staff, Ren Zhenya smiled and pulled a chair over so that he could sit down conveniently.They haven't seen each other for a long time, and the other party seems to have lost a lot.

"Brother Xiuxian, I feel that I have lost a lot of weight."

Kim Soo Hyun showed a helpless smile: "Recently, the schedule has been less."

Ever since he became popular with the role of Professor Dou in "My Love from the Star", Kim Soo Hyun has suddenly become the most representative Hallyu star in Korea. There are countless faing itineraries at home and abroad, and there are seemingly endless commercial endorsements in China and South Korea. There is still time to prepare for the opening of the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games and the Incheon Asian Games, which is a busy person's style.

Now that the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games and the Incheon Asian Games are over, for Kim Soo Hyun, the time now is easier than before, but he is still very busy.

The author has something to say: Kim Soo Hyun picked up the mineral water bottle at his feet, he unscrewed the cap effortlessly, and handed it to Ren Zhenya, "Here you are, I'm not thirsty."

"Thank you, Brother Xiuxian." Ren Zhenya took a sip from the water bottle, she held the plastic bottle and lowered her head slightly, "Brother Xiuxian, have you thought about what work you will take on next?"

It has been almost a year since Kim Soo Hyun's last work "My Love from the Star".

"...I haven't thought about it yet." The expression was no different from that of a Jindo dog sobbing innocently, and Kim Soo-hyun naturally showed distress, "Zhenya, after "You Star", I received more calls than in "Embracing the Moon". There are invitations for works, but I am a bit afraid to make a decision.”

This is exactly the burden of Hallyu stars. Once they have Asian popularity, if they want to continue to be popular, then every subsequent work must be carefully selected, otherwise the accumulated popularity is likely to be in the Instantly turned into foam.Hallyu stars rely not only on the love of fans, but also the favor of passers-by.

Kim Soo Hyun is standing at a fork in the road between Hallyu stars and actors, alone and lost.

"Brother Xiuxian has always had a unique vision when it comes to selecting works." Ren Zhenya looked at Kim Soo Hyun with complete trust in her eyes, "So I hope that Brother Xiuxian will not have to look forward and backward, and be intimidated."

Sometimes Kim Soo Hyun really wishes that Ren Zhenya was his own sister, he likes her thoughtfulness, sometimes she can understand his troubles immediately without saying too much.Ren Zhenya's sensitivity to people's hearts seems to be a natural ability.

He reached out his hand hesitantly, and patted her head lightly like a brother.

"Thank you, Zhenya."

Putting his troubles aside, Kim Soo Hyun fidgeted and asked, "Zhenya, you're not angry with me, are you?"

"angry?"

"...I went to guest star in "Strange She"."

Ren Zhenya couldn't help laughing out 'puchi', "Brother Xiuxian, what are you thinking? Why am I angry at you for guest-starring in "Strange She"?"

"Because Shim Eun-kyung won the Baeksang Arts Awards Best Actress with "Strange She", and was shortlisted for this year's Daejong Award and Blue Dragon Award." Kim Soo-hyun muttered, "I'm going to cheer for your rival, isn't this I'm afraid you'll be angry with me."

"Strange She", which was released in early 2014, broke through 800 million viewers at the box office, becoming the second highest box office movie this year, and Shen Enjing suddenly became the focus and new favorite of film critics.It is true that actresses of the 90s generation in Chungmuro ​​are too scarce, so when film critics catch one they can praise, they try their best to pour out good things, wishing to praise the other party to the sky.

Ren Zhenya is a typical case, and so is Shen Enjing now.

Fortunately, these two people can also support these boasting.

A few days ago, both the Big Bell Award and the Blue Dragon Award announced the shortlist for each award this year, among which Ren Zhenya's blowout performance has attracted the most attention. All three high-yield works this year have been shortlisted for more than two film awards.

For example, "Princess Han" was nominated for the Best Actress at the Blue Dragon Awards, while at the Big Bell Awards it was "Old Thousand 2", and Wan Zhi in "Elegant Lies" was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

"The Baeksang Arts Awards have always been snobbish, and they value influence more than artistry. It's not surprising that "Strange She" has such a good score, and Shen Eun-kyung is the best actress." Ren Zhenya didn't feel sorry for herself, She sees her own shortcomings very clearly, "The only works featuring me as the protagonist this year are "Princess Han" and "Old Thousand 2", but the latter will be released in the second half of the year. If you want to be shortlisted, there may still be some possibilities.”

"But I'm not lucky this year." Ren Zhenya sighed, she counted them one by one with her fingers, "There are many good movies this year, and there are also many terrible seniors. Senior Son Yejin's "Pirate", Shen Enjing's "Strange She" ", Senior Jeon Do-yeon's "The Way Home", and Senior Um Ji-won in "Sowon"..."

"No matter how you look at it, the chances of me winning an award this year are very low."

Ren Zhenya shook her head, this year's competitors are too strong, whether it is "Suyuan" that shocked the society, the confrontation of the Grand Slam actresses, or the rising star such as the dark horse Shen Enjing, she does not have too high expectations for herself, she I feel that I still have the strength to run with me this year.Whether it is the big bell or the blue dragon, the crown of actress is most likely to fall on the heads of the seniors.

Kim Soo Hyun held his face in both hands, showing a cute expression of loyalty: "You are a well-deserved actress in my heart."

Ren Zhenya opened the script and nodded perfunctorily.

Don't take her hasty dismissive attitude to heart, Kim Soo Hyun has always believed that it was a sign of Ren Zhenya's shyness, and he turned to another topic, "I heard that Chungmuro ​​has recently issued a secret order to reduce the use of Korean in the future." Shooting star."

Seeing her looking towards him, Kim Soo Hyun thought that Ren Zhenya was also curious about this matter, and started chatting like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "This year's "Human Poisoning" and "Shangyiyuan" suffered too much, especially noticing The main actors are all Hallyu stars. It is realistic for the production company to have this level of consideration. But I find it strange that similar things have not happened before... I mean Hallyu stars acted in movies, but they lost money in the end .It’s just that the production company has never issued such an order before, so I always feel that something is wrong.”

"The production company has to live." Ren Zhenya turned over a page of the script, and she said in a flat tone: "They will always find that Hallyu stars are not suitable for Chungmuro."

"Not everyone is as good as Brother Xiuxian."

Kim Soo-hyun, who was praised, immediately gave Wang Xingren a smirk of satisfaction, and then he changed his mind and let go of his doubts. Chungmuro ​​rarely uses Hallyu stars, and the hierarchy of the entertainment industry cannot be broken easily.

"Zhenya, do you know that there is a web comic that will be adapted into a TV series?"

"what is it call?"

"Cheese in the Trap."

"I chased after me in college..." Ren Zhenya was about to continue, but she saw her assistant on the set rushing over. She made a 'sorry' gesture to Kim Soo Hyun, stood up and greeted her.

The assistant said out of breath, "I have your call."

"Thank you."

Ren Zhenya took the phone and saw that the caller ID on it was 'Fat Tongue', she frowned unconsciously, she turned her head to look at Kim Soo Hyun, saw the other party beckoning her to answer the phone first, she nodded and walked away consciously up.

Holding the phone to her ear, listening to the silent silence with only the sound of breathing, Ren Zhenya also remained silent. She wanted to know how long the other party planned to hold this stalemate.

"...Zhenya."

Finally, Yong Junheng spoke first.

"Well, I'm here."

Long Junheng clenched the index finger of his right hand tightly, and two rows of neat teeth marks fell on both sides between the fingers, which was his expression of nervousness, "I'm sorry, Zhenya."

"I see."

Hearing Ren Zhenya's plain tone, Long Junheng felt even more terrified, "I... shouldn't have said that about you that day. I, I was afraid that I was not good enough and not worthy of you. The more I was afraid, the more I cared about the opposite sex around you. , I'm afraid, afraid that they will take you away, but I don't have the ability to keep you."

Although writing fans to Ren Zhenya is a step to save the country, every word in the letter is the voice of Long Junheng.Of course he is aware of the distance between himself and his lover. The gap between them is not just as simple as an actor and an idol. Zhenya's status must be at least that of a worldwide Hallyu group, so Long Junheng clearly knows that when the opposite sex around Ren Zhenya is better than him, his uneasiness is like a building block that can collapse at any time.

Perhaps Ren Zhenya thought that his pursuit of those opposite sexes was just a petty jealousy, but Long Junheng understood the fear and inferiority in his heart.

Ren Zhenya could feel the emotion in his words, it was the anxiety that was about to overflow the bucket, she was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, her heart softened after all.

"I also had something wrong that day." Ren Zhenya hesitated for a moment whether to mention last year's TV drama festival, but she finally dismissed the idea.Long Junheng has already done what he should do, and it is up to her to overcome the knot in her heart, "I, I have never had a real sense of our relationship. After all, we have just been together, and we all have work to do."

Ren Zhenya said softly: "We can be together, we have too little time to know each other. You will come back soon, and I also want to make movies and TV series. It is very difficult to see each other."

"It's good to turn over the new year. It's approaching the end of the year, and I have a lot of schedules in these few months." Long Junheng seemed to be trying to make up for his mistake, and proposed enthusiastically, "After next year's New Year, should we find time to go on an overseas trip? I I went to the Maldives to shoot a pictorial before, and the scenery there is very good.”

"it is good."

Long Junheng held the mobile phone in his hand, tiptoed to the ground, and slid hard, his computer chair immediately turned around and around, just like he was in a good mood now, he showed a happy foolish smile.

"Then, then you shoot and work hard."

As a good friend of Yong Junheng who has known each other for many years, Kim Tae-soo, who is currently single, made a disgusted expression, and he mouthed to his friend who was reluctant to hang up the phone: disgusting.

In response, Yong Junhyung responded to Kim Tae-soo with his middle finger.

Ren Zhenya in this room put down her phone, and there seemed to be a gap in the blockage in her heart, and those negative emotions slowly flowed out.
