Park Hyojun, who had just had dinner, slumped down on the sofa lazily, looking blankly at the clock on the wall.
After graduating from his undergraduate degree, he did not continue his studies. His parents may not know, but Park Xiaojun himself knows that the courses for graduate students and undergraduates are completely different. When he was an undergraduate, he might still be able to rely on Lin Chengxun's face to get a job.
I barely graduated from Dongguk University; but graduate school is completely impossible.
Park Xiaojun just finished his internship this year and officially joined a small company. Due to years of college entrance examinations, he is older than his colleagues who joined the company at the same time. However, the seniors above him are the same age as him, so his colleagues in the company
Of course, cynicism is inevitable behind the scenes.
Fortunately, because he joined the job with a letter of recommendation from Lin Chengxun, the workplace strife between seniors and juniors that is common in the peninsula did not happen to him. Even some heavier hard work was not his turn, and his salary was not
Quite a few.
His life was stable, and if he were just an ordinary person, he would be content and happy.
But the problem is that Park Xiaojun is not an ordinary person. He has a biological sister named Park Jiyeon.
Comparing the salary of a very ordinary undergraduate graduate after working with that of idols of girl groups who are successful in the entertainment industry, there is a huge gap that makes it difficult for Park Hyojun to talk about it. Many anti fans of Peninsula idols
The cause also has this aspect.
As a result, many things happened naturally.
In order to take the college entrance examination, his mother consciously sacrificed a lot, quit her job, and supervised his studies at home. In the end, her son's annual salary was less than a fraction of her daughter Zhiyan's monthly salary;
As my father got older, he began to complain at home that his mother had sold his daughter for him, a waste. He was not living up to expectations. A college student could not support himself after graduation, and he needed subsidies from his parents from time to time.
Ha, it's all my fault!
Park Xiaojun was disheartened. When he was alone, he always laughed at himself for being such a waste, so he came home later and later after get off work. He would always grab a meal before entering the house, and then go straight to the house after eating.
He goes into his own room and never sets foot outside the bedroom unless necessary.
The relationship with her parents is becoming more and more tense. In addition to the complaints from the two parents, the communication between them only consists of mechanical greetings every day; the focus of the family has gradually shifted from herself to Zhiyan, although Zhiyan has nothing to do except during the New Year.
After a few days, I rarely go home.
In this regard, Park Hyojun didn't mean to be jealous. He just laughed in his heart and wondered why the words "Lim Sung-hoon" appeared so frequently in the words of his parents who cared about Ji-yeon.
Park Xiaojun's eyes were blank, but in his heart he was calculating when he would have enough salary to move out and rent a house.
After calculating for a while, I just thought it was too difficult.
He also has his own self-esteem. There is a natural reason for his mother to rely on Zhiyan to support her when she retires, but he cannot, even though Zhiyan is willing.
"Hyojun, is there any girl in your company who is of the right age for you? You are not young anymore, and you are so handsome. Your younger sister is Park Ji-yeon from The Crown..."
It starts again!
Park Hyojun breathed heavily under his nose, opened his eyelids and glanced at the clock on the wall, and said in a somewhat impatient tone, "Mom, Brother Sung Hoon's TV series is about to start."
Pu's mother swallowed the words again. Looking at her biological son for whom she had sacrificed everything, she once again understood in her heart what the real "child debt" was.
I am obviously doing it for his own good! It is getting easier for me every day, ah! How can you...
"Is it the JTBC TV series "Castle in the Sky" that Jiyeon called specifically to talk about?"
Park's father enters the scene, and now he only shows a pleasant face to his wife and son when the topic of Ji-yeon is discussed.
"It's true that Jiyeon is a dead girl. It's like she disappeared without a phone call. When she finally got a call, she just said don't forget to contribute ratings to Sung Hoon's TV series and hung up immediately. She didn't know what happened.
Who is her..."
Park's mother mumbled and changed the channel. Seeing that jtbc TV station was still playing commercials, she seized the opportunity and started urging her son to find a partner quickly. Later, she talked about getting married, and finally went back to Park Xiaojun's job.
on the issue.
Your current job is not good, the salary is too low, and you must change. Find Zhiyan during your free time and ask her to take you to Chengxun Balabala.
Park Hyojun ignored his mother's words by saying "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh."
The opening of the film is a relatively lyrical orchestral piece, somewhat like a stage play soundtrack, with a very Western feel. Then it begins to accept actors from "Castle in the Sky". As for the behind-the-scenes personnel, they will only appear at the end of the film.
When the song ends, the scene freezes on an admission notice from Seoul Medical University, and a series of subsequent sound montages clearly explain all the background of the admission notice from Seoul Medical University.
The admitted person's name was Youngjae, and he was ranked first in the college entrance examination. The most important thing was that three generations of Youngjae's family were raised in Seoul. Three generations of the family were children of other families, which was terrifying.
Park Xiaojun pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable. These two keywords, entrance exams and college admissions, easily reminded him of some unhappy things. He subconsciously wanted to cut the screen and not face the TV.
picture.
But obviously, his parents would not agree, especially since this year's Peninsula Entrance Examination has only been held for less than two weeks, and the newspapers in the past two days have been full of content related to the entrance examination candidates.
The probability is enough to trigger many sad or happy news headlines.
The opening scene of "Castle in the Sky" is obviously showing the "joyful" side of taking the entrance examination.
Through several meaningful conversations, four groups of families were introduced, and then a party in the Sky City was held directly with the theme of "Elite Entrance Banquet". The scene was magnificent and extremely luxurious, and some of the people who came to attend were also Lin Chengxun.
Under the deliberate arrangement, an aristocratic circle was outlined.
It was a simple banquet for high school students to attend a college entrance examination, but the people who came were actually the president and director of a certain hospital, the chairman of some committee, and even the mayor of Seoul sent his secretary to deliver gifts for college entrance examination.
Lin Chengxun bluntly told the audience at the beginning that good grades = good future.
The subsequent plot development was natural. In order for their children to be like "other people's children" Yingcai, Han Shuzhen and Lu Chenghui consulted the proud mother of Yingcai for Yingcai's learning methods.
Then he introduced Jin Zhuying, a famous tutor who can make the candidates' admission rate close to 100%.
The structure of the whole story is very straightforward. At most, the superb skills of "Castle in the Sky" director Lin Sung-hoon can be seen in the lens, color, lighting, etc. The rest of the story can be said to be extremely mediocre, especially the opening "Castle in the Sky"
The setting of the villa area for the 0.1% elite of the peninsula makes it even more difficult for viewers before the TV series to immerse themselves in it.
Needless to say, children, instead of watching you describe the happy life of someone else's child through a gorgeous feast, wouldn't computer games be great?
And is it really appropriate to say this during the period when the entrance examination has just ended in Peninsula? You must know that there are no more than ten people who can be as talented as in the TV series "Castle in the Sky" in one entrance examination, and the admission rate is fixed at 50%.
The candidates who have lost confidence in the life in front of them are like crucian carp crossing the river.
Is it really okay to extol the supremacy of performance at this time?
Some people in front of the TV were already preparing to change the channel. They directly labeled Lin Chengxun as having suffered a waterloo. They also ridiculed and ridiculed the jtbc TV station that had used all means to promote "Castle in the Sky" during this period.
Of course, some viewers still have confidence in Lin Chengxun, because the aftertaste of "Reply 1988" has not completely dissipated. Its click-through rate on Chenxi.com remains high, and Lin Chengxun once implicitly said that "Castle in the Sky" will undoubtedly
It is a better TV series than "Reply 1988" because the creation of "Castle in the Sky" was based on the experience of the TV series "Reply 1988".
But as the first episode of "Castle in the Sky" gradually came to an end, these hopeful viewers gradually showed disappointment. Although the plot did not make people feel dull, it failed to let them see themselves.
What you want to see is amazing.
Has Lin Chengxun really encountered Waterloo? Or, as those small website headliners once said, his talents are exhausted?
Finally, the plot of the first episode of "Castle in the Sky" came to an end. At the beginning, because his son Yingjae was admitted to Seoul Medical University with the first place, he stole the show at the banquet, making Yingjae the envy of everyone present.
Mother, what happened to her? Why did she appear alone in the snow at night?
"boom!"
A sudden gunshot woke up all the viewers in front of the TV. They looked at the picture on the TV of Yingcai's mother lying in the snow, with blood staining the ground red for a long time.
suicide?
I just squinted quietly for a while and then changed the channel?
But then the synopsis told them that the channel had not been changed. A series of highly conflicting plot scenes aroused their curiosity to the top.
But the weekend drama has one episode every day, so please come early tomorrow.
...
The set of "Castle in the Sky" is different from the thousands of families outside who are watching this story for the first time. Everyone sitting here watching the TV premiere knows the direction of the plot behind it. The smoothness of the plot in the first episode
Without conflict, it would be impossible for them to panic, and they were even in the mood to tease Lin Chengxun, a famous director.
"Director, with your plot arrangement, what if tomorrow the media criticizes you for not having enough talent and only using handsome guys and beauties to prop up the show?"
"Handsome guy, beauty? Where are they?" Lin Chengxun blinked and said with a smile: "With the sudden suicide of the talented mother in the last scene, I bet there won't be any comments about "Castle in the Sky" tomorrow morning."
"When will there be comments?"
"The second episode will be played, the day after tomorrow morning."
