Time: July 2006

The first semester of high school ended soon. Chen Haoyu has made great progress after more than two months of dance training. He is no longer at the bottom in Class C. The company has also arranged a vocal teacher for him. He is the same person as Kim Taeyeon's vocal teacher. Haoyu, who often trains vocals with Taeyeon, has also become close to Taeyeon from being unfamiliar at the beginning.

The first movie "The Monster of Han River" starring Chen Haoyu also confirmed the release date, with two versions of one story. Such a novel form made the movie hotly discussed in the media during the promotion period.

"Hello Chen Haoyu, I am Bong Joon-ho. We will hold a press conference for the movie this Sunday. I hope you can attend!" Director Bong Joon-ho personally called Chen Haoyu and hoped that he would attend the movie's press conference. Haoyu felt that he was just playing a small supporting role. Attending the press conference should be the main creator. He never thought about this. He was a little lost when he received a call from Director Bong. "Okay, I will definitely attend on time. Thank you Director Bong!"

"Okay, the staff will contact you later on the specific time and location. I don't know much about it now. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Chen Haoyu hung up the phone and told the girls who were practicing together. Everyone asked Haoyu to help them find the director and starring autographs.

"Don't you want my signature?" Haoyu felt a little depressed when he saw that no one mentioned his name.

"Didn't you just play a small supporting role? Let's talk about it when you become the starring actor!" Lin Yuner hit Chen Haoyu mercilessly.

"Hmph, underestimate me, my movie is about to be released. When you see me when you see a movie, you will call me senior." Chen Haoyu said to the girls.

"If you can call us sister, we don't mind calling you senior." Kwon Yuri retorted Chen Haoyu, and Chen Haoyu obediently closed her mouth.

On the day of the press conference, Chen Haoyu wore a beige jacket and paired with slim jeans, which casually revealed a sense of intimacy and youthful atmosphere. Outside the venue, Chen Haoyu was photographed by reporters for 4 or 5 minutes before he was released. It was obviously not used to this scene for the first time. He walked to the seat and rubbed his eyes constantly, feeling that everything was white.

The press conference officially began, and the host introduced it one by one, and everyone stood up and bowed politely.

Director Bong Junhao introduced to everyone that the original intention of making this movie was that he had lived near the Han River since he was a child. He had seen unknown creatures in the Han River when he was a teenager. After becoming a director, he always wanted to bring this experience to the screen. This movie fulfilled his dream. During the three years of filming, because he could not find the most suitable character candidate in his heart, he had to make certain modifications to the script. The revised script was also excellent. When I met Chen Haoyu by chance, I felt that Chen Haoyu was the original drama.

The best candidate for the role of Youjun of Ben, both in appearance, age and personality, meets the requirements. After Chen Haoyu's test filming for a while, he was very satisfied with Chen Haoyu's performance, so the crew made a bold decision to shoot at the same time according to the original script and the modified script. That is, the A and B versions that everyone will see after the movie is released are tentatively Soo Hyun Pian and Youjun Pian. Bong Joon-ho expressed his gratitude to all the actors participating in the performance, and specifically suggested that the performances of Chen Haoyu and Gao Yaxing would surprise the audience.

The reporters attending the press conference praised Bong Joon-ho's bold initiative, saying that it has created a new page in Korean film history. Two different versions of a movie will bring more imagination space to the audience. The reporters asked questions to the main actors of the movie. Chen Haoyu and Gao Yaxing, as newcomers, were relatively idle. Chen Haoyu was happy to see no one asking him questions, so he took out his phone and put it under the table and sent a text message to the girls. Gao Yaxing and Chen Haoyu's seats were next to each other, so he naturally discovered Chen Haoyu's small movements. If Chen Haoyu was photographed by the reporter, it would not be a joke. Gao Yaxing kindly reminded Chen Haoyu, and Chen Haoyu put away his phone and whispered to Gao Yaxing.

A reporter discovered the conversation between the two, and the problem followed.

"I am a reporter from the Chosun Ilbo. May I ask Gao Yaxing, what is your evaluation of Chen Haoyu through this cooperation?"

"I personally think Brother Haoyu is very charming, he is the kind of boy who can make girls feel at ease." Gao Yaxing gave a concise and extremely high evaluation.

"So what does Chen Haoyu think of Gao Yaxing?"

"Although Yaxing is younger than me, her acting skills are much better than me. I have learned a lot from Yaxing. In the content I filmed with me, Yaxing plays a very weak girl. She performs very well. She has no experience at all. When I see Yaxing who has entered the performance, she will follow her into the show, and naturally she has a feeling of protection for her. In the version where I did not participate in the performance, Yaxing's performance is completely different. She is a cute girl who has always maintained an optimistic attitude in a fear and difficult environment. If there is any difference, please feel free to enter the cinema when the movie is released." Chen Haoyu told the original feeling that Gao Yaxing brought him during filming.

"Song Kanghao, how do you evaluate the performances of the two juniors?"

"Both juniors work very hard, and Haoyu often asks me some acting questions. Although they are the first acting as newcomers, as long as the director starts filming, they can quickly get into the state and have great potential. As Haoyu said, Yaxing's performance this time is very challenging, and it is exchanged between two characters with different personalities. For example, this scene is filmed in the A version and the next scene is replaced by the B version. Yaxing has done a very good job and has grasped the character characteristics of the characters well." Song Kanghao also gave the two newcomers a high evaluation.

"Miss Bae Doona, what do you think of the performances of the two newcomers?"

"Both are studying hard and hard. I agree with Song Kanghao's statement. Yaxing's performance is very outstanding, especially rare for a 15-year-old newbie. Haoyu is like a young brother who has not grown up in private. He is a more emotional boy, but he shows a very manly side in the movie. I don't know if you have seen the video called Knight that is widely circulated on the Internet. The brave boy in it is Haoyu. The movie just reproduces Haoyu's true performance, so everyone doesn't have to worry about Haoyu's acting skills at all. Haoyu is performing based on his own heart." Pei Douna not only praised the acting skills of the two newbie, but also revealed Chen Haoyu's saving deeds.

After hearing this information, the reporters asked Chen Haoyu questions one after another. He was not the main person to ask him, but he was a little unable to resist it. Seeing this, the host asked the reporter to return the question to the movie, and the chaotic venue gradually returned to the movie itself.

The reporters then asked a few more questions, all of which had nothing to do with Chen Haoyu, and the press conference was over.

Pei Douna still fulfilled her duties as an older sister and sent Chen Haoyu back to S.M. Along the way, she told Haoyu a lot of skills on how to answer reporters' questions. Haoyu felt that it was great to have such an older sister who always cared about him.

Chen Haoyu, who returned to the company, was surrounded by girls and asked for the signatures of the movie starring. Chen Haoyu also muttered that they would regret it in the future if they didn't want his signature now, and the girls ignored him at all.

The chief in charge of the practice came in and asked Chen Haoyu to go to Li Xiuman's office.

"Haoyu is here, sit casually. You are still used to the trainees' life. I heard that your vocal teacher has praised you several times in front of me." Li Xiuman was always very kind in front of Chen Haoyu.

"Uncle Li, hello, thank you for your praise from the teacher. I am used to it in all aspects, but the strength of dance has improved slowly." Chen Haoyu thought that dance was his shortcomings and told Li Xiuman without any obscureness.

"Take it slowly, don't worry. I went to the press conference of the movie today and was not scared by the reporter. You are also a movie actor now, so you should also hurry up in your acting skills. Today I want to ask for your opinion. MBC is going to shoot a TV series, adapted from popular comics. They are going to use new actors for this TV series. I roughly understand the outline of the story and think you are capable of playing the male lead. I am going to recommend you to the crew. Do you want to try it?" Li Xiuman saw that Chen Haoyu was still thinking and paused, patting Haoyu's shoulder and continued, "Don't be stressed. Although it was recommended by me, the director will decide whether he will be able to perform in the audition performance in the end. I think this opportunity is very good."

The movie has been filmed, so it shouldn’t be difficult to shoot a TV series. Chen Haoyu thought for a while and said, “Uncle Li, thank you, I will try my best to win this opportunity, but if I fail the audition, will you be embarrassed?”

"You kid, you can't think so before you go. I believe in director Bong Joon-ho's vision, and I believe in my judgment." After Li Xiuman finished speaking, he signaled Chen Haoyu and others, picked up the phone to communicate with the crew. After making the phone, Li Xiuman explained to Chen Haoyu the content, time and place of the audition.

Chen Haoyu is looking through the introduction of the comics in the comics store. He is about to audition and always know what kind of story the original book tells. After reading the introduction, Haoyu put the book back to its original place and went to find the comics he was interested in.

In the s.m company conference room, several directors were asking why Li Xiuman gave such an important opportunity to a trainee who had only been in the company for more than three months. Li Xiuman was leisurely explaining that several combinations who had debuted as a singer could not coordinate the time. Chen Haoyu had taken on commercials and movies before becoming a trainee. The movie he took on was directed by Bong Joon-ho, and he found out from a familiar reporter that it was because of Chen Haoyu's sudden appearance that the movie was released in two different versions. The company should seize the opportunity to quickly launch Chen Haoyu. Several directors could not find a more appropriate reason to refute after listening to the explanation.

Li Xiuman looked at the directors who walked out and understood that this was just an excuse for use in power struggles. He did not deny that he had selfish intentions towards Chen Haoyu, and Chen Haoyu's performance could indeed give him more opportunities legitimately.
