She stayed at home for a night. The next day, accompanied by her sister-in-law, she met up with Yang Xianshuo. She gave him her home phone number so that he could contact her at any time. She learned some news about Xu Zhixuan. As the eldest sister-in-law, Lim Eun-jung cared about Xu Zhixuan no less than she did about Xu Zhuxian. In fact, she doted on him even more. This was because she had only given birth to a daughter for the Xu family. In the eyes of the elderly, sons were the heirlooms of the family. Lim Eun-jung also thought the same way.
"President Yang, I'll leave my Zhixuan in your care." Before Lim Eun-jung and Yang Xianshuo reached an agreement, there had to be enough time for Xu Zhixuan to learn. This was what Yang Xianshuo wanted to see. He didn't deny that Xu Zhixuan was talented in acting, but if he rushed in without planning, Yang Xianshuo could see the scene of Xu Zhixuan's head bleeding. He was afraid that once Xu Zhixuan suffered a setback, he would be disheartened and give up on himself. It was better not to be too hasty.
"That's what I should do. Zhixuan is very talented in acting. I will find a teacher for him to teach him seriously!"
Hearing Yang Xianshuo's promise, Lim Eun-jung breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know much about the entertainment industry, but she had more or less heard that this industry wasn't as simple as it looked. She was really afraid that Yang Xianshuo was that kind of person. But now, it seemed that he was a good person.
"Then I'll have to trouble you. Zhixuan, you have to listen to President Yang and learn from your teacher. Remember our agreement. Your grades can't fall behind. Otherwise, go back to university immediately and listen to your brother. Become a diplomat. Wasn't that what you said when you were choosing your university?"
"Diplomat?" Yang Xianshuo, who was listening to Lim Eun-jung's advice, muttered in his heart, Could it be that Xu Zhixuan has a background? However, after Lim Eun-jung left, he would ask Xu Zhixuan about it. Maybe it could help him.
Xu Zhixuan was now looking for trouble. In the beginning, in order to be lazy, he chose a foreign language university to learn Chinese. Of course, he also took English as an elective. However, he already knew these two languages in his previous life. Needless to say, Chinese was quite authentic. As for English, dictation wasn't a problem, but he wasn't very proficient. You have to know that Xu Zhixuan was an otaku in his previous life. He didn't have much interaction with foreigners. Everything was learned from books. However, at this time, he could only respond, "I know, sister-in-law. I won't fall behind in those two courses. Don't worry!"
"En, I know you have a sense of propriety. I won't say more. I'm afraid that you will find me annoying if I say more!" Lim Eun-jung's prophecy stopped. In the end, she didn't say it out loud. After all, the relationship between the two brothers couldn't be changed overnight. She could only change her words.
Xu Zhixuan smiled. He could see that Lim Eun-jung's expression was difficult. It should be related to him. However, Lim Eun-jung didn't want to say, and he didn't want to ask more. It was rare for him to be in a good mood. He said coquettishly, "How can it be? Sister-in-law, even if you say it for my whole life, I won't find you annoying! "
"You're almost an adult, and you're still acting coquettishly. You work hard. I'm going home. The baby is still at home. If he wakes up and doesn't see me, he will probably cry again. Then, President Yang, please take care of Zhixuan!" Lim Eun-jung shook her head and said goodbye to Xu Zhixuan. Then, she once again bowed to Yang Xianshuo.
"It's my duty, it's my duty! You're welcome! "
After Lim Eun-jung left, Yang Xianshuo happily took Xu Zhixuan on a good tour of YG. Although it had just been established, everything in the company was personally arranged by him. As YG's number one trainee, of course, in Xu Zhixuan's eyes, Xu Zhixuan was an actor. However, Yang Xianshuo still intended to let Xu Zhixuan start as a trainee. However, he would have to find an acting teacher to teach Xu Zhixuan alone. This was not a small expense, but in Yang Xianshuo's eyes, it was worth it.
A few days later, in YG's empty practice room, reading some books on acting prepared by Yang Xianshuo, Yang Xianshuo pushed open the door and walked in. There was a person behind him. Seeing Yang Xianshuo's respectful manner, it seemed that this person had a strong background. Xu Zhixuan saw that the other party was an old man, and also an elder, so he followed Yang Xianshuo and saluted him.
"Zhixuan, this is Teacher Li Shunzai. He will teach you how to act in the future!"
Xu Zhixuan raised his eyebrows. Hearing Yang Xianshuo's tone, Xu Zhixuan became even more determined. This person had a strong background. If he could establish a relationship with him, it would be helpful for his future development. Thus, he saluted again, using the highest form of etiquette, and said respectfully, "Hello, Teacher. I am your student, Xu Zhixuan!"
Li Shunzai was stunned. He did not expect Xu Zhixuan to take advantage of the situation. Yang Xianshuo, who was beside him, was delighted. How could he not realize that Xu Zhixuan was so clever? After all, he was only able to invite Li Shunzai because of the incense left behind by his father. He only invited him to see if Xu Zhixuan was a talent that could be molded. One must know that he had praised Xu Zhixuan to the skies in front of Li Shunzai.
"En, I'm not in a hurry. I heard from Xianshuo that you are very talented in acting. He praised you in front of me, so I'm here to see if you are worthy of me accepting you!" At first, Li Shunzai only taught Xu Zhixuan casually under the pretext of repaying Yang Xianshuo's father's favor. He did not accept him as a student. One must know that in Korea, the relationship between a teacher and a student was like that of a father and son. One could not simply accept a student.
Xu Zhixuan did not have the arrogance that he used to have with Yang Xianshuo. Instead, he said modestly, "I don't dare. Brother Xianshuo has praised me. However, I feel that I have a talent in this area. It's just that I have not been appraised by professionals!" These words, in Xu Zhixuan's opinion, were indeed modest. However, in the eyes of Yang Xianshuo and Li Shunzai, it was a little arrogant.
Yang Xianshuo was angry. He originally thought that Xu Zhixuan had changed his temperament. However, a leopard could not change its spots. Although he was no longer so arrogant, Li Shunzai did not understand. If there was a misunderstanding, it would be over. His efforts would be wasted.
"Oh? It seems that you are quite confident? " Li Shunzai wasn't as angry as Yang Xianshuo had imagined. Instead, he asked with a chuckle. This made Yang Xianshuo heave a sigh of relief in his heart. He kept praying for Xu Zhixuan, this little ancestor, to stop spouting nonsense.
Xu Zhixuan still said with a respectful expression, "I don't dare!"
"Then show me what you are good at!" Li Shunzai was actually not angry at Xu Zhixuan. As an actor, you could be humble, but you could not lack the self-confidence in your bones. Otherwise, no matter how talented you were, you would only be a second-rate actor. He had seen too many people like this.
Xu Zhixuan nodded. He did not even need to think about it. He stretched out his hand and the originally mature young man turned into a child's expression. That action, that expression, in the eyes of a veteran actor like Li Shunzai, all of it seemed so natural. It was not pretentious at all. One had to know that no matter how hard an actor worked, there would always be a sense of pretentiousness. Those who could perfectly eliminate this feeling were all existences that could become best actors and actresses.
"Good, good, good!!!" These three words came out of Li Shunzai's mouth. Yang Xianshuo also felt relieved. His face revealed an excited expression.
Li Shunzai was already 62 years old this year. Since high school, he had participated in theater performances. In 1956, he made his debut with the TV series "I Want to Be a Grown-Up." Since then, he had been active on the Korean screen. It took a lot of time to hone his acting skills to be able to play such a natural role. However, Xu Zhixuan was able to do it at such a young age. It really shocked him.
He, who had not accepted any students all this time, also wanted to cultivate Xu Zhixuan into a future best actor in Korean movies. If possible, Xu Zhixuan might become the first Korean to win an Oscar. This kind of naturalness was really the envy of many actors who struggled to become best actors.
"Not bad, you're very talented. I'll accept you as my student. I won't stay any longer today. Hyun-Shuo, bring Zhixuan to my house tomorrow!" Li Shunzai was very happy that he was able to meet Xu Zhixuan. Yang Xianshuo was even happier. Xu Zhixuan had a teacher like Li Shunzai as his backing. It would be difficult for him not to become famous even if he did not want to. Only Xu Zhixuan was still confused.
After following Yang Xianshuo to send Li Shunzai to the car, Xu Zhixuan asked puzzledly, "Brother, since the teacher accepted me as his student, why didn't he start teaching me acting skills directly?" Obviously, he did not understand why Li Shunzai left just like that.
Yang Xianshuo was really speechless towards Xu Zhixuan. He did not know whether to call him smart or not. Sometimes, he would make a fool of himself at key moments. For example, just now when he was displaying his slight skill in front of an expert in front of Li Shunzai, he was stupid. However, he knew English and Chinese, two of the most widely used languages in the world. In the future, when he wanted to enter China and America, language was the key.
"Tomorrow, go with me to prepare the apprenticeship gift. We'll go to Teacher Li Shunzai's house for the apprenticeship ceremony!"
Korea's culture was basically inherited from the Celestial Empire. In China, only a few professions still maintained the tradition of apprenticeship. The rest were basically modernized. Just giving a gift was enough. In Korea, etiquette and culture were very well passed down.
Basically, on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, the teacher would invite a few friends. They were all rich and famous or close friends to be witnesses. The student council would prepare the gift and ask the elders to deliver it. This would require Xu Zhixuan's family to do it. Yang Xianshuo could also do it on his behalf.
The six gifts included celery, lotus seeds, red beans, jujubes, longan, and lean meat strips. These "Six Etiquettes" were actually very particular. Celery symbolized "diligence and diligence." Lotus seeds symbolized "painstaking education." Red beans symbolized "good luck." Jujubes symbolized "high school early." Longan symbolized "good deeds." And the most surprising one, the lean meat strips, was used to express the disciple's sincerity.
After that, Xu Zhixuan only needed to give three big gifts to Li Shunzai. After offering tea to Li Shunzai, the teacher would return the gift: dried longan, celery, and scallion. Dried longan symbolized "enlightenment." Celery symbolized "diligence." Onion symbolized "intelligence." Then, the student would listen to the teacher's lecture. The teacher would present the token and the gift was complete!
This was the Korean apprenticeship ceremony. After the apprenticeship ceremony, the teacher would then treat the student as a father and son.
PS: (I really can't find the Korean apprenticeship ceremony. But Korea took ours, so it should be like this!)
