Chapter 21

This time, Jin Zhide did not make things difficult for Jin Yufan. Hearing Jin Yufan's words, he nodded lightly and said, "Mm, sit down!"

Jin Yufan sat down obediently beside Jin Zhide, straightening his back and waiting quietly for Jin Zhide's questions.

Jin Zhide glanced at Jin Yufan and put down the "Chosun Ilbo" in his hand. "Although I am currently considered an acting teacher at DSP Entertainment, I have already told Li Haoyan and Li Xianjing that I am just a nominal teacher. I only come to DSP Entertainment to teach a few trainees who catch my eye when I have time."

At this point, Jin Zhide paused, a slight smile appearing at the corners of his mouth. He said teasingly, "So, Jin Yufan, tell me, will you be the first trainee I take under my wing at DSP Entertainment?"

Here it comes! Faced with Jin Zhide's inquiry, Jin Yufan's heart couldn't help but tremble, knowing that the crucial moment had finally arrived.

Now, it all depended on how Jin Yufan would respond, or rather, how he could respond to satisfy or impress Jin Zhide.

If Jin Yufan could give a satisfactory answer, he would naturally become Jin Zhide's student. But if Jin Yufan's answer failed to satisfy Jin Zhide, Jin Zhide would definitely not take him as a student, and even Li Haoyan wouldn't dare to say anything.

Silence, nothing but silence. Jin Yufan did not rush to answer but instead thought carefully about how to respond in a way that would satisfy Jin Zhide. This was no small matter. Although DSP Entertainment could find many acting teachers, Jin Zhide was the only one of his kind in all of South Korea.

Gaining Jin Zhide's recognition and becoming his disciple would bring Jin Yufan tremendous benefits and help in his future career in the Korean entertainment industry. Jin Yufan was well aware of this.

Therefore, when faced with Jin Zhide's inquiry, Jin Yufan did not dare to speak hastily or casually.

Jin Yufan did not answer, but Jin Zhide seemed quite relaxed. He did not say anything or urge Jin Yufan. Instead, seeing Jin Yufan's serious expression, he smiled and leisurely sipped his tea, continuing to read the "Chosun Ilbo."

After several minutes, Jin Yufan finally lifted his head. Jin Zhide, who had been waiting, also put down his newspaper and waited for Jin Yufan's response.

"I firmly believe that I will become your disciple and will be your greatest pride in this lifetime!" Looking at Jin Zhide's smiling face, Jin Yufan said with a determined and confident tone.

Determined, Jin Yufan had already made up his mind to become Jin Zhide's disciple. The benefits were too great for Jin Yufan, who had decided to become an entertainer, to ignore or give up.

He was even willing to pay any price to become Jin Zhide's disciple. Whether good or bad, whether through fair means or foul, Jin Yufan didn't care. After all, he had been betrayed in the power struggles of a large family in his previous life. After being reborn, Jin Yufan was determined to follow a path of self-interest.

Self-interest meant focusing solely on oneself, doing whatever was good and beneficial for oneself, no matter the cost.

As for confidence, that was even more certain. With the memories in his mind, Jin Yufan was convinced that his achievements would not be limited to South Korea or Asia, but would extend to the entire world.

After all, with the memories of those classic movies, he had a reference and a scene to draw from, which would greatly help him in his acting. He believed he could even outperform the original actors, or at the very least, match their level and maintain their standards.

This way, when Jin Yufan entered the United States, his acting skills alone would give him a significant advantage over others in Hollywood, even if becoming a world-class movie star was still difficult.

Entering Hollywood and becoming a world-class movie star was inevitable. If Jin Yufan became Jin Zhide's disciple and student, he would undoubtedly be Jin Zhide's greatest pride and achievement. At least for now and in the future, no other student of Jin Zhide had successfully entered Hollywood and become a world-class actor.

It seemed that in the next few decades, the most successful Korean actor in Hollywood would be Lee Byung-hun, who gained recognition through the "G.I. Joe" series.

It seemed that Korean actors had not achieved much success in Hollywood. If including Korean-Americans, perhaps only Kim Yun-jin and Ken Jeong had done well.

Therefore, Jin Yufan was confident that he could become the most outstanding actor in Korean acting history, relying on his own abilities and those memories. He was extremely confident, even to the point of being overly confident.

Jin Zhide had been teaching acting for decades, and his own acting skills were undoubtedly superb. Seeing Jin Yufan's response and the determination and confidence he displayed, Jin Zhide was inwardly shocked.

Jin Zhide knew very well that Jin Yufan's words were genuinely heartfelt, and the confidence and determination he showed were not just an act.

Jin Zhide's own acting skills were superb, and he could easily tell whether Jin Yufan's demeanor was an act. Moreover, Jin Yufan was only thirteen, a mere child, and far from being able to act.

Thinking about this, Jin Zhide looked deeply at Jin Yufan and continued to say lightly, "It's good to have this confidence and determination, but talking about it is useless. These things still require your own effort."

"Yes, I also believe that talking about it is not enough; what's more important is to prove it yourself." Jin Yufan agreed with Jin Zhide's words.

"This kid is not bad. Could it be that I have found another good seedling? After all, he is one of the best chosen from thousands at DSP Entertainment. It's quite interesting, and it seems my days at DSP Entertainment won't be too boring in the future."

Seeing Jin Yufan's immediate agreement with his words, Jin Zhide couldn't help but smile. "Alright, Jin Yufan, tell me, what is acting?"

"What is acting!" Jin Yufan was taken aback, then furrowed his brow and thought carefully before answering, "I think life is a play, and acting is an emotional engine that leads everyone to laugh, cry, get angry, and be moved together!"

"Hmm~~~ This is the best answer I've heard in years!" Jin Zhide nodded expressionlessly, but then his demeanor suddenly changed, and he said with unusual seriousness, "Actually, your answer is not entirely correct. Acting is actually a dream machine that allows you to leave your mundane and boring life behind and do everything you want, without any reservations, and to vent your emotions wildly. You can kill, be a terrorist, a police officer, a beggar, a gang leader, a superhero, or a savior. Everyone has a dream of becoming someone or something, but in reality, it's impossible. Only in movies and TV shows can you fulfill your dreams. For me, acting is a dream machine. As long as your acting is good enough, it means your dream machine is more powerful, and you can fulfill your dreams as long as you dare to dream. So, acting is a dream machine.
