Peninsula Entertainment Starts as a Writer

Chapter 4 I have a friend

Cui Xueli was furious and still unconvinced: "Why do you think I'm joking?"

Han Zidong chuckled twice: "Do you know the ranking of Gu in the population of your country?"

Cui Shirley shook her head. This question involved a blind spot in her knowledge.

Han Zidong said with a smile: "Let alone the top thirty, even the top forty or fifty may not be able to squeeze in. I have been in the peninsula for almost a year, and I have never met anyone with the surname Gu. Of course, LG

Except for the family."

"But," Cui Xueli was still retorting, but her tone was much weaker: What if my surname is really Gu?"

"so……"

Han Zidong took a breath and spread his hands: "So, what I just said was a lie!"

"Moragu?"

Cui Xueli covered her face, feeling that her IQ had been suppressed.

This time, Han Zidong took the initiative to extend his hand and introduced himself: "My name is Han Zidong. I was born in 1991 and come from Xia Kingdom."

"Oh, hello, I'm Cui Zhenli, you can also call me Sulli."

Cui Shirley greeted with a smile.

She heard that the Xia Kingdom did not have the strict seniority system here on the peninsula, so she deliberately left out the most important issue of age. In this way, she would not have to pay attention to the trivial social etiquette and could be more relaxed.

When she saw that Han Zidong didn't notice this detail, she raised her beer and touched Han Zidong's glass, deliberately changing the topic: "Thank you for the beer."

Han Zidong took a sip of wine and continued to ease the relationship between the two.

"The chicken feet and warm water just now were indeed a surprise. I just came here, but I kind of ignored the difference in our eating habits."

Cui Xueli waved her hands repeatedly and took the initiative to take part of the fault: "It's not your fault, it's my problem. I was too irritable just now. Please forgive me."

Just now they were fighting each other like cockfighters, but now they took half a step back and became polite to each other. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the previous quarrel and unhappiness were all forgotten.

Han Zidong took out an empty paper cup, poured half a cup of warm water, picked up a chicken foot, rinsed it in the water for a few times, and handed it to Cui Xueli.

"You try again."

"good."

Cui Xueli chewed a section of chicken feet and found that the taste was indeed lighter.

She was a little embarrassed to eat chicken feet in front of a man she had just met, so she ate slowly and drank at a slower pace.

While Cui Xueli was solving the chicken feet, Han Zidong took out a sketchbook from his backpack and used a pencil to write and draw on the paper.

After a while, a rough outline of a girl appeared under the pen.

Cui Xueli was not aware of Han Zidong's intentions at first. When she saw Han Zidong sometimes raising his head to glance at her, sometimes lowering his head to write and draw, she realized that the other person was sketching a portrait of himself.

This time, she was even more constrained, her legs were tightly together, and her drinking was no longer so bold, but she sipped it in small sips.

After about five minutes, Han Zidong stopped writing and looked at the portrait on the paper.

Looking left and right, he always felt that something was wrong, so he pinched his chin and compared it with the real person not far away, and then he clicked on the tip of his nose and the left cheek.

The finishing touch, I feel comfortable.

"Hey, here you go."

Cui Xueli took the sketch and immediately said, "Big hair!"

The girl on the paper has long shawl hair, smiling eyes, and is very beautiful, and her demeanor is very similar to her.

She is also someone with some foundation in art, and she can tell that Han Zidong's painting skills are indeed extraordinary.

Although the structure and details of the portrait are slightly rough, considering that it is a quick product, it is already a very good work.

Looking down, a string of Chinese characters came into view.

[Han Zidong presented to Cui Zhenli: May you always smile as you do today.

September 29, 2012]

She recognized her name in Chinese characters and guessed the meaning of the string of characters to some extent, but she still pointed to the characters above and asked Han Zidong one by one, and remembered them carefully in her heart.

A very thoughtful painting and a very sincere blessing. This is almost the best gift she received during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The two chatted endlessly, finished their late night snacks, and then moved to the fence in front of the pavilion to enjoy the night view of the Han River in the distance.

Considering Cui Xueli's irritable temper, Han Zidong gave the other party the folding chair and sat on the storage box he brought.

The two exchanged cups, paying no attention to the red tape of local social etiquette, and exchanged life experiences with each other in plain language throughout the process.

Compared with Cui Xueli's confident confession of her concerns, Han Zidong's words were more targeted.

He described his original embarrassment without hesitation, and reinterpreted his growth experience from the perspective of ten years later, hoping to inspire this little girl whom he met by chance.

All living beings are suffering, life is really hard, try to look forward!

It seems that Cui Shirley's mind began to wander as she drank more and more. When she thought Han Zidong was a good person, she actually took the initiative to reveal her identity.

"Yeah, don't you even know f(x)?"

Han Zidong nodded, this was not a pure lie.

After all, according to the original timeline, in 2012, he really didn’t know about the 2007 Big 3, 09 2009 Big 7, or any second-generation or third-generation girl groups. In the year when he first came to the peninsula, he was busy improving his Korean language and adapting to the local area.

In life, there is no need to care about chasing stars.

"Yeah, you've been in the peninsula for almost a year. Do you usually live in a cave?"

The pride of being in a girl group welled up in her heart. Cui Shirley took a sip of wine and asked: "Then tell me which celebrities you know."

"Girls' Generation."

My own group of senior sisters can't beat him.

Cui Xueli was furious after hitting her head on the iron plate: "What else?"

"Suzy."

"..."

The atmosphere became inexplicably cold, and Cui Shirley leaned back in her chair in frustration, looking at the night view of the Han River in the distance, and remained silent for a long time.

To be honest, she was a little envious of this achievement in the same year. She imagined that she could be as successful as the other person and gain a reputation like "the nation's first love." This way, her future career would be much easier.

But the reality is just the opposite. The ratings of the miniseries she starred in were dismal, once falling below 5%. Based on this ratings performance, I am afraid that she will not be able to receive good scripts for a long time in the future.

That's okay, after all, it's normal to have ups and downs at work.

The real pressure that made her breathless came not from career setbacks or the flood of bad reviews, but from the high expectations of her family and the neglect of her mother.

Looking at the sparkling water of the Han River at night, she said: "I have a friend... She and I are close relatives. We usually talk about everything, just like..."

"Twins in one body." Han Zidong added.

"That's right," Cui Shirley showed admiration, smiled and gave Han Zidong a thumbs up: "Yeah, you are truly worthy of being a writer!"

Han Zidong noticed that Cui Xueli's smile was more solemn than it should have been, so he did not take the liberty to make fun of her, but listened quietly to what the other party had to say.

"She told me that since her mother reorganized the family two years ago and gave her a half-brother, she has paid less attention to her and sometimes even forgets her birthday.

When the two talked on the phone, her mother no longer asked her whether she was under great pressure at work or whether she had encountered any problems. Instead, she only cared about her work performance, as if they were superiors and subordinates in the company.

Sometimes she calls just to hear, 'You've done a great job,' but all she can hear from her mother is, 'Since you've done a great job, why can't you do better?'"

At this point, Cui Xueli choked up, but couldn't say the rest of the words and covered her face and cried.

Han Zidong had a complicated expression when he heard this. He was an only child and had been favored by his parents since he was a child. This also led to his past temper being a bit too arrogant. In some ways, it was really difficult for him to understand Cui Xueli's need for family approval.

However, this does not mean that he has no empathy. I wonder who in this university has not experienced the internship stage of not being able to use a printer. I hope that at this time there will be a reliable senior to help guide the way and lend a hand.

Rather than laughing at these newcomers to society, is it really possible to lose a piece of meat by helping them when passing by?

In his last life, with a vague dream of comics, he refused to repeat his studies and chose to work abroad willfully.

Here on the peninsula, he stumbled and suffered a lot as an unfamiliar place, but he also received help from many people at the bottom and gradually gained a firm foothold.

So once again, he had a little more understanding and tolerance for these ordinary, frustrated people.

Regarding Cui Xueli's troubles, Han Zidong thought that he could not be of much help, but this did not mean that he could not do anything.

He squatted next to the chair, hugged the other person sideways, and comforted: "It's okay. It's okay if you can't do it. I believe you have done a good job."

She left her family at the age of 11 and became a trainee of SM Entertainment. At an age when her peers could not even take care of herself, Cui Xueli took on the responsibility of supporting her family.

As a child actor, she has to understand the character's state of mind even when she can't even understand the lines, and she has to be frightened and look at people's looks while being NGed over and over again.

As a member who temporarily switched from being an actress to a girl group, she has to work hard to practice singing and dancing, and strive to catch up with other more talented team members, showing the qualities of a qualified idol.

She is also an ordinary person, and she will be wronged and sad, but she must hide her tenderness, show her sensible side, and cherish the hard-won job opportunities.

She can accept all the hard work and all the setbacks, but she just wants a home that can tolerate her failures and fully stand on her side. Is this really a luxury request?

Cui Xueli hugged Han Zidong and put her head on Han Zidong's shoulder. She couldn't control herself anymore and cried loudly.
