Korean Entertainment's Homebody Artist 027's Devilishly Charming Smile

  The music center stage has ended, and the filming of "Coffee Prince 1" has also come to an end. Yoon Hyun's weekly work now only includes "Infinite Challenge". Because in "Infinite Challenge", Yoon Hyun's role positioning has already been found, that is, a dark and clever strategist, who is lazy but calculating, and at the same time, he plays the role of a military advisor when the MC group and the production team are competing with each other. This makes Yoon Hyun's filming go smoothly.

  So Jin Soo-yeon, who couldn't stand Yoon Hyun's leisureliness, naturally brought another big pile of things for Yoon Hyun to do.

  This includes TV dramas, advertisements and endorsements, as well as movies that have never appeared before.

  "What's with this movie?" Yoon Hyun spotted it in an instant, a shining firefly in the dark, amidst a pile of advertisements and basic TV drama scripts.

  "Oh, it was yesterday... uh, the day before, a young director came to the company. Said he saw your performance at Coffee Prince 1st shop and thought you'd be suitable for a role in his movie. So he wants to invite you for an audition." Kim Joo Hyun wasn't very interested in this movie script.

  Because she had already read the script and knew a little about this new director. A very dark story. She also didn't agree with Yoon Hyun participating in this movie. But due to professionalism, she still handed it over for Yoon Hyun to see.

  Yoon Hyun picked up the movie script with great interest.

  "What a perverted story." When Yoon Hyun finished reading the entire script, he made such a comment. "Is he inviting me to play that killer?" Yoon Hyun asked Kim Soo-young.

  "Yes. What? Are you interested?" Kim Soo-hyun was a bit incredulous, "Yoon Hyun-ji, I think with your current acting skills, you may not be able to pull off such a role."

  "How would I know if I don't try?" Yoon Hyun suddenly smiled, "And with this type of movie, it's either a huge hit or nobody cares. I want to take a gamble. And both results are completely acceptable, aren't they?" His hand lightly touched the title on the script cover. "The Chaser".

  "You'd better think carefully. With the success of Coffee Prince, you might get several award nominations this year. If this drama ruins everything..." Kim Soo-young tried to persuade Yoon Hyun from her manager's perspective.

  "It won't affect anything. I think this drama will be released next year anyway, and by then all the awards ceremonies would have taken place. Now that you mention it, who knows, maybe I'll even get to attend next year's Blue Dragon and Baeksang Awards." Yoon Hyun suddenly burst out laughing.

  But Kim Joo-hyun couldn't smile at all.

  "Interview the day after tomorrow? Alright, I'll go and try it out then." Yoon Hyun thus decided on his schedule, and then pushed aside the several TV drama scripts that Kim Soo-hyun had brought.

  "Yoon Hyun-ji, I think you're really self-inflated." Kim Soo-hyun said with a huff.

  "It's not self-aggrandizement, Xi," Yoon Hyun smiled with his eyes narrowed and stretched lazily, having just read the script and feeling a bit tired. "It doesn't matter because I'm not afraid of not passing the interview, that's why I thought of going to play around."

  "But I still have to make a living!" Kim Soo-hyun said with a sigh.

  "Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me. As far as I know, the royalties from just a few songs' online downloads have already been paid out. Tell me, how much money did you get?" Yoon Hyun glared at Kim Soo-hyun.

  Kim Soo-hyun immediately started awkwardly beating around the bush and then hastily escaped with everything except the movie script.

  Yoon Hyun smiled slyly at the flustered Kim Soo-yeon, finding her adorable. As for the commission? Yoon Hyun really didn't care about that little bit of money...

  But just as Yeon Hyeon was still in a daze, Kim Soo-yeon, who was about to leave, seemed to have remembered something and turned her head again. She pulled out a TV drama script and handed it to Yeon Hyeon, saying: "Oh right, this show. I didn't take on the project because of the script, but because of the director... hmm... I hope you can help them write an OST. Take a look."

  "What's wrong?" Yun Xian furrowed his brow.

  "Yes, take a look, the other party's opening price is not bad."

  "Then put it down, I'll take a look when I have time." Yoon Hyun said noncommittally.

  Kim Soo-hyun also nodded. She also knew Yoon Hyun's songwriting habits, when he had a feeling, it was worth waiting for, but if he didn't have inspiration, no matter how hard he tried, nothing would come out.

  "Quick Sword Hong Gil-dong"? A historical drama? Yoon Hyun is a bit hesitant.

  But still picked up the script and started reading it like watching a show.

  Period costume comedy? Yin Xian's mouth corners slightly curled up, the idea seems to be okay. Although the script is a bit awkward.

  But for some reason, when Yoon Hyun read this story, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

  "I say, I shouldn't be considered a failure in this life, right? But why do I still feel so deeply pained when watching stories like this?" Yun Xian shouted out in frustration.

  It seems that fate has been decided from the very beginning, and what's destined is destined.

  Yoon Hee had a somewhat melancholic thought.

  For this mood, and for myself, I'll write a song. Write it myself. Yin Xian made up his mind in his heart.

  If I take a step back, I won't have the courage to know what you're thinking. If you leave me, how can I see you off? Maybe I'm a fool, just staring blankly at you, not understanding what's in your heart. So, the distance between us will only grow further apart, right? I'm really like a fool, unable to even say "I love you"...

  Yoon Hyun seemed to be pouring out his heart as he wrote down a passage that resembled a prose poem.

  Almost in one breath.

  What's left is composition.

  It's probably because the lyrics were written too smoothly, and there was no melody in Yoon Hyun's head that could match this verse.

  So Yeon-ah, feeling a bit downhearted, decided to wait until she had inspiration again.

  Then he carefully put away the second song he wrote independently, which was more precious than his first work, a rap that purely tested his verbal skills.

  Although he had planned to temporarily stop thinking about the song, it wasn't until Yoon Hyun was lying in bed at night that his mind kept repeating and reciting this prose poem.

  "Ai Xi, if I had watched more Korean dramas in my past life, wouldn't everything be fine now?" Yun Xian was being tormented by himself to the point of collapse.

  But there aren't that many ifs...

  Wait, wait, if...

  If I leave... If I send you away... If...

  Do I have to be so tragically a backup plan? Do I have to be such a good person card?!

  Yoon Hyun is going crazy.

  But even if he was furious, these two words that suddenly appeared made the sad melody in his heart start playing.

  Then, Yin Xian, who was originally lying in bed, jumped up and wrote down the melody that had been circulating in his mind...

  An hour later, after several revisions, and then changed the lyrics into a more suitable form for singing.

  "This is simply a one-sided love!" Looking at his finished song, Yoon Hyun hummed it to himself and defined it as such in his mind. So what should this song be called? The Cry of the Single? The Song of the Secret Admirer? Yoon Hyun messed around with names for his very satisfying work, but eventually formally wrote down 《如果》 (If).

  Finally finished the thing that had been weighing on his mind, Yin Xian crawled into bed and went to sleep...

  It's time for Yoon Hyun to audition for a movie.

  After finishing the morning run with Li Zhi En, I taught Li Zhi En some vocal training exercises and then got on the nanny car that came to pick me up to go get a makeover at the beauty salon.

  These two days, apart from writing that song "If", Yin Xian has been very seriously pondering the script, sketching out in his mind what kind of external image Pool Young-min should have, and what kind of inner state he should be in.

  Perhaps related to his own profession, Yin Xian began habitually analyzing the various correlations of this role's existence.

  Perhaps this philosophical way of thinking is strange, but it can also help Yoon Hyun understand the person's way of thinking most quickly and deeply, and thus understand his way of doing things.

  Even the most top-notch actors probably don't deconstruct character roles like he does...

  So, wearing a white shirt and a pair of black-framed glasses with no lenses, Yun Hyun appeared in front of the director and screenwriter with a gentle and refined demeanor that almost immediately caught their attention.

  "This is the image of Chi Yingmin in my mind!" The director whispered into the producer's ear.

  The producer nodded and didn't say anything.

  Yoon Hyun began his own performance, the part where Jung Min-jae talks about his killing experience at the police station. A calm smile hung on the corner of his mouth as he said many terrifying words, exchanging eye contact with the nonexistent police officers around him, his eyes carrying a comforting smile and composure to soothe their shocked expressions...

  The director felt a chill run down his spine in an instant.

  "Show me the state of Chi Yeon-min's madness." The producer, who also seemed to feel that the atmosphere was unbearable, interrupted Yun Hyeon's performance.

  "Give me a minute." Yoon Hyun had no reaction to being interrupted during his performance, still looking calm and collected, then spoke in a soft voice.

  The director and producer both jumped in unison.

  One minute later, Yoon Hyun still had a smile on his face, only the degree of the smile was bigger than before. If there's anything different, it would be his eyes... which seemed to have turned red...

  "Perfect!" The director stood up and applauded for Yoon Hyun.

  Yoon Hyun-ji immediately stopped performing, closed her eyes, and 10 seconds later, she returned to normal.

  "How's this, Director-nim, Producer-nim? Is it okay if I do it like this?" Yoon Hyun said with a hint of playfulness.

  The director and producer exchanged a glance, both reading surprise from each other's eyes: "I thought you always had that nonchalant attitude."

  "It's not like that." Yoon Hyun smiled.

  "I admire your acting skills even more." The director said with a pleased nod.

  "Thank you, then I'll be off?" Yun Xian saw that he had basically succeeded.

  "Right, I'll notify your agent about the specific gathering time for the crew." The director extended his hand proactively, "Nice cooperation!"

  "It was nice working with you!" Yoon Hyun also extended his hand.

  Two hands clasped together.

  After returning from the interview scene, Yin Xian directly returned to his own recording studio and used a computer to synthesize some sound effects for the song "If" he wrote earlier, and tried singing it himself.

  "How can it be more sorrowful the more I listen to it? This kind of man is better off dead!" Yoon Hyun's self-critical spirit is a multi-layered and three-dimensional combination. This criticism is especially evident in this song, as there are shadows of his past life here.

  Forget it, I'll just record an accompaniment and throw it at the crew to let them find someone else to sing. Yun Xian had a somewhat irresponsible thought.

  Then he directly called Jin Xiu Yan, who was wandering around somewhere in the company, to bring over the accompaniment and lyrics she had recorded herself to hand over to the director of the drama team.

  Kim Soo-hyun looked at Yoon Hyun with a bit of surprise, she really didn't think that what she had agreed to casually would actually be written out like this.

  Yoon Hyun-ji wouldn't tell Kim Soo-hyun that this is actually his first song in the true sense.

  After sending Kim Soo-hyun away, Yoon Hyun went home alone and surfed the internet.

  Talking about him going online, it's natural to mention his current fan café, with a staggering number of fans... over 150,000 people.

  It may not sound like a lot, but for Yoon Hyun's café, which is a special existence, this is already a remarkable thing.

  Unlike many other fan cafes, Yoon Hyun has a lot of control and management rights over his own fan cafe. This is also because he started contacting the cafe very early on and due to his otaku nature, he had a unique understanding of the forum, so his authority in the forum was absolutely the highest. Including the founder of this cafe and the organizer of various activities, Park Jung-hyun, who cannot be mentioned in the same breath as Yoon Hyun on WeChat.

  The best example is that when joining Yoon Hyun's fan café, everyone must follow the so-called "Salted Vegetable Rules" one by one. The first rule: Do not accept private rice, cannot specifically follow and take pictures of Yoon Hyun's private life. This rule would almost never be accepted in other fan groups, but for salted vegetables, it is a golden rule.

  Of course, as a corresponding compensation for not accepting private fan gifts, whenever Yoon Hyun encounters fans outside, as long as they can prove their salted vegetables, they will have the opportunity to take a photo with Yoon Hyun...

  "Kimchi Guard Posture" has only three rules. Yin Xian used the example of China's Three Chapters to explain to fans why he must stick to some bottom lines.

  Article 1: Do not accept private meals and cannot specifically follow and take pictures of Yoon Hyun's private life.

  Article 2: Those who cannot accept that Yoon Hyun has a girlfriend and is in love, please leave voluntarily.

  Article 3: You cannot go against Yoon Hyun because of any other star.

  It's actually not that hard to achieve. However, because of this, Yoon Hyun's fans have never been able to reach 200,000 people. On the contrary, many people think Yoon Hyun is being pretentious and his anti-fan club now has nearly 500,000 people...

  But Yoon Hyun himself doesn't care about this either.

  After all, it's because he has never pinned his hopes of making money on the entertainment industry.
