Chapter 302 The launch of the logo image and Zhien’s birthday
Since "My First Brother" premiered in Cannes, the film festival has been more than halfway through.
The next day, the film received a 90% freshness index on Rotten Tomatoes.
Because it is a non-competition unit, it does not participate in the daily scoring of the program.
Nevertheless, this did not delay the film's critical acclaim.
Gao Zhenghui also posted his own film reviews on movie rating websites and his own YouTube account.
"I originally went to see this movie for Jin Qixuan. But after watching it, I forgot about this actor."
"I only remember that the two disabled people depended on each other and supported each other in the welfare home. Let’s resist the injustice of fate together.”
“I thought that Lee Kwang Soo’s appearance would make me laugh out loud, but no, he was unambiguous in his acting. He was even very good. He is 190cm tall. Being helpless among the crowd is like a crane standing in a flock of chickens with low self-esteem.”
"I remember there was a scene in the play where he returned to the orphanage that was being demolished and lay on a barely built cot in the ruins, crying. It was really heartbreaking."
"And Jin Qixuan, using only the parts above his neck, surpassed 80% of the male actors. It can be said that this movie is definitely the pinnacle of his current acting skills."
"It's just a 90-minute movie. I laughed, laughed and cried. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you the details of what I saw.”
"But I can tell you responsibly that although this drama is gentle, it is not boring, and although it is funny, it is not stupid. The point is that the acting skills of the actors in the drama are very good, and the brotherhood between the brothers is very well expressed. The interaction between the two is also very interesting, and it is definitely a good movie worth watching."
Of course, it is written by a professional film critic like Gao Zhenghui.
Similarly, there are also brief reviews from just movie enthusiasts.
[This movie is very healing. After the movie ended, I called my brother. At that moment, I really missed him so much. 】
【Indeed, I was really touched after reading it. Thinking of the days when I was playing tricks with my brother when I was a child, I feel that family love is really the most beautiful thing in the world. 】
【Jin Qixuan's acting skills are really good. I didn't pay much attention to him before, but I became his fan immediately after watching this movie. 】
[Me too, Jin Qixuan is really awesome. I was so moved when I saw his performance in the film. 】
……
There are many comments like this.
The theme of disabled people, warmth and healing, starring Kim Kee-hyun and Lee Kwang-soo, and being widely praised after its premiere in Cannes...
Such a series of factors came together to make the topic even more popular after the news was spread back to China. It exceeded the attention of this Baeksang Awards Ceremony.
After all, the Cannes Film Festival is one of the most influential film festivals in the world.
And "My First Class Brother" can receive so much praise on such a stage, which naturally makes domestic audiences and media full of expectations for the film.
In addition, this film has also attracted attention from all walks of life to the issues of people with disabilities.
Some public welfare organizations also took this opportunity to launch the Ice Bucket Challenge.
I hope it can arouse more people's attention and support for the rights of persons with disabilities.
Therefore, a new round of Ice Bucket Challenge in 2018 has once again become a craze.
On social media, there are endless videos and photos of various ice bucket challenges.
A large number of public figures have completed the challenge in various ways and called on more people to pay attention to the issues of people with disabilities.
The method is still the same as before. After accepting the challenge and succeeding, you can choose three of your own to spread the word.
This time, Jin Qixuan was still named by Zheng En.
However, Jin Qixuan had not yet had time to accept this challenge.
Since the screening of "My First Brother", distribution companies from many countries around the world have shown strong interest in it and have expressed their intention to introduce it.
Therefore, as an investor in this film, Jin Qixuan has been extremely busy handling cooperation matters during this time.
Lee Kwang Soo and Lee Sun Bin returned to China the day after the premiere of "My Brother".
Director Lu Xiangxiao has been staying here to watch and learn from other competition film screenings.
Jin Qixuan has been discussing the closing of the Cannes Film Festival with representatives of distribution companies from various countries since the film screening.
Eventually, the movie "My First Class Brother" will be sold to 86 countries around the world on a split-bill basis.
At the same time, it also earned nearly 2 billion won in sales of overseas broadcast rights.
Jin Qixuan was very happy about this.
After all, this is the most important purpose of participating in Cannes’ out-of-competition films.
It will be released in many countries around the world, so it should be no problem to repay the original amount.
The future depends on how much you earn.
With the Cannes Film Festival’s closing film screenings coming to an end.
The exciting awards ceremony is about to come.
However, these have nothing to do with Jin Qixuan.
There's no point in riding the heat of that red carpet.
Because Jin Qixuan has other plans - going to Florence to attend the Kering Group dinner and attend Gucci's fashion show.
Before leaving, Jin Qixuan completed Jung Eunji's ice bucket challenge in the bathroom of the hotel in Cannes.
Immediately afterwards, Jin Qixuan directly named Park Chorong, Yoon Bomi, and Son Naeun to continue this challenge.
The three sisters were confused after seeing themselves named by Jin Qixuan on INS.
Because, there has never been any intersection between them!
If we insist on saying so, then maybe Son Na-eun is inextricably related to him.
But what does this have to do with me, Park Chorong!
The water in the ice bucket is so cold! !
With such doubts, Park Chulong angrily scrolled down the contents of Jin Qixuan's INS.
Soon, she discovered a familiar name - Zheng Eunji!
"Elsie..."
Park Chulong suddenly realized this.
It turns out that Enchi was dragged into the water.
……
On the other side, at the dinner party of Kering Group.
Celebrities gathered and the stars were shining brightly.
Many business tycoons and celebrities came in droves.
Jin Qixuan has accumulated international fame as the spokesperson for many top luxury models, and as a starring role in a work that was widely praised at the Cannes Film Festival, he appeared at the dinner, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Normally speaking, an actor's box office success drives popularity.
Surge in popularity increases commercial value.
The commercial value has been increased and the brand has received the most luxurious endorsements.
Jin Qixuan is different, but he does it the other way around.
Commercial value drives popularity and box office.
This is also thanks to Gucci who opened the international door for him.
Therefore, Jin Qixuan will basically not shirk away from various activities that Gucci invites him to attend.
François-Henri Pinault, CEO of the host Kering Group, warmly welcomed Jin Qixuan and led him to greet many business giants and become familiar with them.
After all, he is the spokesperson chosen by his wife, so he deserves to be pampered.
Pino introduced Jin Qixuan's achievements in the acting career to the gang, and congratulated the movie "My First Class Brother" in which he starred in the Cannes Film Festival.
Jin Qixuan expressed his gratitude humbly.
After chatting for a while, Jin Qixuan was called away by creative director Alessandro Michele.
"Hey~Jin, long time no see."
Michelle came up to him with a smile on his face, holding a wine glass, and patted Jin Qixuan's shoulder hard, appearing very affectionate.
"Yeah, it's been a long time indeed." Jin Qixuan responded with a smile.
Michelle is regarded as Jin Qixuan’s leader in the international fashion industry.
The red Gucci ready-to-wear suit that Jin Qixuan wore at the "1988" live broadcast conference was the message he left for Jin Qixuan on INS when he just took office.
In other words, Jin Qixuan can be regarded as his direct descendant.
“How long do you plan to stay in Florence this time?”
“Three days, I have to go back to the set to shoot a new movie.”
Michelle nodded and continued to ask:
“Did you know that when your endorsement contract was renewed some time ago, many merchants changed their profile pictures to yours on INS, so why didn’t Gucci participate?”
< br>What else could be the reason? I am not qualified enough.
However, when Jin Qixuan heard his question, it seemed that there was something hidden in it.
“Because, we are planning to launch a big move.”
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan asked curiously:
"Ultimate move?"
"Yes, I plan to launch a joint series of You."
"!!!"
Hearing the news, Jin Qixuan couldn't help but widen his eyes.
I didn’t expect that Gucci would value itself so much and even plan to launch his joint series.
Co-branded series is a form of cooperation between brands and celebrities.
The aim is to use the influence of both parties to jointly create a unique product series.
In fact, we often see co-branding between brands.
However, there are only a handful of series in which brands and artists collaborate.
You know, Bingbing, who is the first Gucci global spokesperson, does not receive this treatment.
Therefore, for Jin Qixuan, this is not only an honor, but also a reflection of his status in fashion.
“Really? Michelle, this surprises me so much and makes me so happy!”
Michelle smiled and nodded. He was well aware of Jin Qixuan's potential and influence.
From Jin Qixuan’s outstanding performance in the entertainment industry and his unique taste in the fashion industry, Michelle saw unlimited business possibilities.
"Kim, your talent and charm cannot be ignored. I believe that launching your joint series will be very popular."
Launching co-branded products is nothing more than stimulating market consumption.
Talent, charm, etc. are all false.
In the final analysis, Jin Qixuan’s current ability to carry goods is too strong.
Any Gucci jewelry, men's or women's bags he wears are sold out.
Especially at the MMA awards ceremony, the scene of "Three Looks at Zenith Watches" directly caused the watch to be sold out on the official website.
All of the above are all proof of Jin Qixuan’s influence in fashion and his ability to sell goods.
Later, Jin Qixuan and Michelle discussed the details and planning of the joint series in depth.
Jin Qixuan actively expressed his opinions and suggestions, especially on the choice of logo. The two parties had a detailed discussion.
Speaking of which, as an actor, Jin Qixuan has a changeable image and no fixed label.
Although she has a good figure, she can’t put a cartoon muscular man on top!
Besides, his current figure is not that good compared to before.
Therefore, Jin Qixuan was quite confused about the choice of logo image.
Finally, it was Michelle who had the idea to use an original cartoon image of a fox with a crown.
Fox represents elegance, wisdom and cunning.
It is somewhat similar to Shen Shihe played by Jin Qixuan in the movie.
The fox wearing a crown represents nobility.
Nobility complements Gucci’s luxury and Jin Qixuan’s expressiveness in fashion magazines.
Jin Qixuan’s eyes lit up at Michelle’s proposal.
He immediately felt that this image was very consistent with his temperament and positioning.
“Crown Little Fox, what a wonderful idea!”
Seeing that Jin Qixuan liked it, Michelle smiled slightly proudly.
Next, the two discussed issues such as color matching, fabric selection, and style design of the joint series.
Jin Qixuan gave full play to his fashion taste and came up with many creative ideas.
Michelle listened patiently throughout the whole process and gave Jin Qixuan great respect.
Whenever Jin Qixuan puts forward a new suggestion, he will seriously consider it and nod in approval.
It was supposed to be a dinner party for fame and fortune.
As a result, the two of them discussed it without any distractions until the end of the dinner, and finally finalized the preliminary plan for the joint series.
After the dinner, Jin Qixuan returned to his hotel.
The first thing is to tell Li Zhien the good news.
However, due to the time difference.
Li Zhien was sleeping soundly at the moment and did not reply.
But there was no delay in Jin Qixuan sending her a short composition message.
The next day.
Jin Qixuan attended Gucci's spring and summer fashion show.
The theme design this time is the ancient Roman city in the 18th century.
The entire exhibition room is decorated with statues and pillars from various historical periods.
The diverse collection of images of gods from the East and the West is like a picture of co-prosperity, sharing and governance.
……
After the fashion show, Jin Qixuan and Michelle met again. The two discussed the idea of a joint name for a long time.
With the trip to Florence coming to a successful end.
Jin Qixuan embarked on the journey back to Seoul with full expectations.
May 16th.
Lee Zhien’s 26th birthday.
As we all know, artists’ birthdays do not belong to them.
Either hold a fan birthday party, live broadcast on Instagram, or spend it during some schedule.
As a top artist, Lee Ji-eun is no exception.
Li Zhien is very good at staying up late.
In the early hours of the morning, many artists took the opportunity to send birthday wishes to Li Zhien on Instagram.
But she ignored the congratulations from INS.
Because when sending congratulations on social networks, sometimes it is inevitable that you will be questioned to gain traffic and popularity.
And truly meaningful blessings often come from those who are willing to put in the effort, specially write messages, and watch the seconds, just to send you the first blessing at the moment when the numbers change.
Such blessings undoubtedly reveal a deep affection and care.
So, she stared at her big Kazilan eyes and lay on the bed holding her mobile phone, waiting for the birthday blessing message Jin Qixuan sent her.
However, as time passes little by little.
Until about three o'clock in the morning, news of Jin Qixuan still had not arrived.
This also led Li Zhien to suspect that there was something wrong with his mobile phone.
After all, the two spent her birthday together at Lee Hyori's house last year.
Jin Qixuan will never forget this important day.
Actually, Jin Qixuan did not forget her birthday.
It’s just that the flight didn’t have wifi...
Then, by the time he landed at Incheon Airport, it was already noon.
You don’t need to think about it to know that this girl is definitely angry.
Because there was no latest news from her in the chat box between the two...
However, the first thing Jin Qixuan did after arriving in Seoul was to take a nanny car to the CJ Building to attend the meeting for "Parasite" Script reading session.
On the way, Jin Qixuan was typing text in the chat box with Li Zhien.
From a simple four-word "Happy Birthday" to a forty-plus-word love poem interspersed with some gorgeous rhetoric, to a four-hundred-word essay that reveals true feelings.
After writing and writing, Jin Qixuan felt dissatisfied.
Words are just words after all.
No matter how direct and frank you are, you can't hold one tenth of your love.
Just don’t say a word at all.
He wanted to hug Li Zhien for real.
Smell her scent, look into her eyes and say miss you, happy birthday, good morning, good night...
So, he planned to go find her at night.
Make up for your mistakes.
At the same time, there was a waiting room at the backstage of an event.
When Li Zhien was putting on makeup, he occasionally picked up his phone to see if there were any messages from Jin Qixuan.
However, every time she didn't see the message from Jin Qixuan, her little fists clenched a little tighter.
……
Two o’clock in the afternoon.
Jin Qixuan arrived at the CJ Building and headed to the conference room on the 12th floor with ease.
He was the last to arrive.
However, everyone also knows that he just came back from Italy.
The attitude towards him can be described as very friendly.
Song Kanghao, Lee Sun-kyun, Park So-dam and others came up to shake hands with him and exchange greetings, with friendly smiles on their faces.
Jin Qixuan also responded politely to everyone's greetings, while not forgetting to bow to them.
After all, they are all seniors, and there is no actor younger than him in the entire crew.
Soon, everyone sat together and introduced themselves one by one.
In fact, everyone is basically familiar with the situation of the script.
After all, Bong Joon-ho had private conversations with each actor before.
The purpose of this script reading meeting is mainly to get the actors familiar with each other.
This will make the process of starting the shooting smoother.
The reading meeting went very smoothly.
As the boss, Song Kanghao played a very good guiding role in the reading meeting.
Although the atmosphere between them was very harmonious, Jin Qixuan also felt a little pressure.
Without him, everyone’s acting skills are so good.
During the entire four hours, no one laughed or lacked emotional expression.
This is the first time Jin Qixuan has experienced such a high-end script reading meeting...
I won’t mention it for the older generation.
Park So-dam, a contemporary of Kim Ki-hyun, also showed outstanding acting skills.
I feel like even if three Lin Yoonas come, they will not be her match...
Except for appearance, of course.
After the reading meeting, Bong Joon-ho invited everyone to have a meal together.
Accelerate getting to know each other.
Jin Qixuan is not easy to shirk.
It was still early, so it was still too late to go back to find Li Zhien after it was over.
At half past ten in the evening, the dinner ended.
As the maknae of the crew, Kim Qixuan and Park Sodam respectfully saw off the seniors at the door one by one.
After sending them all away, Jin Qixuan had to accompany her and wait for her agent to pick them up.
After all, Jin Qixuan’s Newcomer Award on Baeksang was awarded to her.
He is also two years older than him.
Should be the last to leave.
However, it is interesting to talk about.
Kim Qixuan had to call Park So Dam sister outside the play, but he called her sister inside the play.
After a while, Park So-dam's manager drove to pick her up.
Jin Qixuan opened the car door for her and walked her into the car.
“Senior, goodbye.”
"Well, goodbye."
Pu Sudan nodded and got into the car.
"Be careful on the road."
"Yeah, I got it."
The two waved their hands.
The car door slowly closed and the people left.
Jin Qixuan stood there and watched the car disappear from sight.
Then, he turned around and walked towards the nanny car parked aside.
After getting in the car, Jin Qixuan took out his mobile phone and called Han Te, asking where Li Zhien was currently.
After learning that she was at home, Jin Qixuan ordered the driver to speed home!
Not long after, Jin Qixuan stood at the door of Li Zhien's house carrying large and small packages.
Originally I wanted to ring the doorbell.
But I thought about it again and entered her birthday.
The door opened with a sound.
Cross the entrance hall and walk into the living room.
I saw Li Zhien sitting cross-legged on the sofa, folding his arms, looking angry.
"Zhien, have you had dinner..."
Seeing her appearance, Jin Qixuan's aura instantly weakened a bit.
"Hmph!"
Li Zhien turned his head and ignored him.
“Ahem, look what I bought you?”
Jin Qixuan lifted the bag in his hand and showed a flattering smile.
However, seeing that she ignored him, Jin Qixuan gradually approached.
Wait to walk to her.
Li Zhien suddenly got angry, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, angrily:
"You did it on purpose, right? I didn't sleep well last night! I didn't sleep well!!!"< br>
“Ah ah ah...”
Jin Qixuan twisted his body and dodged around the sofa desperately.
“I’m not going to give you a surprise...”
“Surprise! I’ll give you a surprise!”
Li Zhien stepped on the sofa and pounced on Jin Qixuan from a high place.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan did not dare to hide and caught Li Zhien.
She could only let her hit her back with her palms and hit his head with her head.
...
After a while, Jin Qixuan, who had been "taught", rubbed his red forehead with a funny look on his face.
“Are you not angry anymore?”
"Hmph."
Li Zhien snorted arrogantly and did not answer directly.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan directly took her into his arms and touched her face with his lips like a rain of rain.
For a long time, Jin Qixuan kissed her face a hundred times.
Barely made up one-tenth of this month’s kiss share.
As for Li Zhien, who experienced ups and downs throughout the day.
At this moment, he was contentedly lying on Jin Qixuan's shoulder, closing his eyes, pressing his little face against Jin Qixuan's, rubbing his ears and temples together, enjoying this rare intimate time.
In fact, both of them have been busy during this time.
Since the Chinese New Year, I have only seen him once.
In the past, Jin Qixuan always felt that this kind of love in the entertainment industry would inevitably dissipate if the distance and opportunities to meet became longer.
Just like him and Jin Yarong.
In fact, since the relationship with Li Zhien was established last year, every time they reunited after a period of separation, Jin Qixuan would feel a little uneasy in his heart.
He worried that the long separation would make the two of them estranged.
Worried that Li Zhien's feelings for him would become cold.
I am even more afraid that their relationship will gradually drift apart.
However, Li Zhien's enthusiasm surprised him every time they met.
Her eyes always sparkled with love for him.
Every hug is closer than the last.
Each kiss was more passionate than the last.
Her love for him never seemed to fade, but only grew stronger as time went by.
Gradually, Jin Qixuan also began to dare to expect beautiful words such as "for life", "until death do us part" and "grow old together".
After an unknown amount of time, the two of them were temporarily separated from their deep love.
Li Zhien pointed to the large and small packages on the ground and asked, "What are these?"
"Gifts."
"There are no gifts that are given in piles..."
Although she muttered so, the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.
