Chapter 307: Deadline for Summer Vacation
For actors who guest star in movies on Peninsula, they will not receive traditional pay.
Usually the producer or director will give them an envelope containing cash as payment.
And the amount inside.
Depends on the actor's status and popularity.
When Li Zhien said goodbye to the crew before leaving.
Producer Kwak Shin-ae handed her an envelope containing 10 million won in cash.
Li Zhien waved his hands repeatedly, saying no.
For her, she learned a lot from this trip.
These valuable experiences cannot be measured in money.
Not only that, she also called two rescue vehicles at her own expense to improve the food for the crew.
To express her gratitude to the crew.
When Guo Xinai saw this, she didn't force it, she just smiled and took the envelope back.
Sent Li Zhien off.
Jin Qixuan looked at the nanny car disappearing from sight and sighed quietly.
After this separation, it will be a few months until the next time we meet.
Because, Lee Ji-eun is preparing for a new album to come back.
The feeling of busyness can be imagined.
...
The next day, the crew welcomed Park Seo-joon's guest appearance.
The role he plays is an important person who brings a turn for the Ki-woo family, namely - Mrs. Park's eldest daughter's former tutor, Min Hyuk.
Park Seo Joon's recent schedule is very full.
The work that has soared his popularity and directly ranked among the top 10 Korean idol drama actors - "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" is about to premiere.
At the moment, he is busy going to various variety shows to promote the upcoming TV series.
However, when he learned that Bong Joon-ho invited him to make a guest appearance.
He canceled the trip without hesitation.
After all, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree.
In the film and television circles of Peninsula, there is a saying - "A smooth actor, an iron-clad Bong Joon-ho."
This sentence is not groundless.
It is an affirmation of Bong Joon-ho’s directorial ability.
Therefore, no actor can refuse Bong Joon-ho's invitation.
Park Seo-joon is no exception.
Speaking of which, Kim Qixuan and Park Seojun have a good relationship.
The two have a relationship through Han Hyo-joo.
Together we filmed Jin Qixuan's big screen debut - "The Brave Citizen".
After that, when his movie "Young Cops" was released.
Jin Qixuan also specially attended the VIP preview to give his platform.
Later, during the filming of "My First Class Brother" last year.
He also came to play a guest role for Jin Qixuan, playing the role of a nurse in an orphanage.
They were very happy to meet again on the set of "Parasite" this time.
"Brother Seojun, long time no see."
Jin Qixuan took the initiative to say hello to Park Seojun.
"Yeah, long time no see, Qi Xuan."
Park Seo Joon responded with a smile: "It's been a while since we last met, and we've already filmed a movie directed by Bong Joon Ho."
" Hehe~ Good luck, good luck.”
Jin Qixuan smiled modestly, then patted Park Seo-jun on the shoulder and said:
"Brother Seo-jun, the same goes for you. The promotion of "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" has been very hot recently. I heard that it even won a The title of "Romantic Bulldozer""
Park Seojun laughed, waved his hand and said:
"Everyone supports me everywhere, and I just try my best."
The two walked into the rest area of the crew while chatting.
After Park Seo-joon changed into his costume, he started preparing to shoot his scene.
Like Li Zhien, he only has three scenes.
However, after Li Zhien’s guest appearance yesterday.
Bong Joon-ho did not arrange too many moving routes for Park Seo-joon, and they all shot at fixed locations.
The first scene is to set up a character and scold a drunkard for urinating everywhere.
The second scene is to set up the background and deliver the stone sculptures into the house.
The third scene was drinking with Jin Qixuan outside, introducing him to Mrs. Park’s house as a tutor, and asking him to help look after his little girlfriend.
Park Seo Joon has a good attitude.
Withstood the pressure in front of the entire cast of talented actors.
Three scenes, only six lines passed.
After filming, Bong Joon Ho was full of praise for Park Seo Joon's performance.
Park Seojun waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Director Feng gave me the award, mainly because Senior Song and Qixuan are too good at leading dramas..."
Due to his tight schedule, he didn't have much time to linger.
After the filming, I said goodbye to Jin Qixuan and others and left.
……
in the following days.
The crew worked steadily in strict accordance with the established shooting plan.
Every link is in order.
On this day, Jin Qixuan was sitting in the dressing room being dressed by the makeup artist.
Inadvertently, he heard the staff around him chatting about GD gossip.
Even during his military service, GD's influence remained undiminished.
News about him is still emerging.
Especially the ankle surgery he had done at the military hospital.
It also attracted D agency and YG to directly line up on INS.
However, the content they talked about this time was even fresher - a "GD Observation Diary" that was circulated on INS.
This diary records in detail GD’s height and weight, the time he takes medication every day, the location of every tattoo and mole on his body, and even the size of his underwear...
Listen At this point, Jin Qixuan calmly pricked up his ears and started eating online.
It is understood that this was recorded by a soldier serving in the medical office.
The soldier originally decided to reveal some of GD’s private information just because he wanted to please his girlfriend.
However, what he did not expect was.
His girlfriend actually posted this information on Instagram in the form of pictures.
And the words "G-Dragon XI" were also marked next to it.
As soon as this INS was released, it attracted a lot of attention and discussion from netizens.
GD fans are furious.
He got so angry that he immediately started to bully this woman online.
Rational fans left messages condemning this behavior and demanding severe punishment for the soldier and his girlfriend.
After Jin Qixuan finished eating this melon.
He sighed helplessly.
In the end, GD is still too popular after all.
The public's attention to him has reached a morbid level.
Through this matter.
It is not difficult to understand.
Why are so many Peninsula artists suffering from depression?
Even artists who have enlisted in the military have been reported one by one by the news media.
Not to mention those who are currently active.
Every move they make is under the public eye.
Any small mistake may be magnified countless times and become the target of public criticism.
This huge pressure is enough to make people breathless.
Fortunately, Jin Qixuan has no dirty information.
I don’t have any bad habits either.
The social circle is also simple.
Usually I'm either on the set or in school.
I go home only a handful of times a year.
Don’t worry about the location of the luxury house being exposed.
Speaking of which, it’s because I don’t go home often.
As a result, it seems that he bought this tens of billions mansion for his nanny...
So, regarding what happened to GD.
Jin Qixuan is not worried that it will happen again to him.
However, nevertheless.
In the spirit of a more friendly mentality in the world.
Jin Qixuan donated 100 million won in materials to GD's army free of charge to improve food.
I hope they can be kinder to these colleagues in the service.
Time flies by.
Early July.
The crew of "Parasite" has completed 35% of the filming progress.
Then, all members of the crew moved to the luxurious villa built by the crew in the suburbs of Seoul.
After truly experiencing a month of semi-underground life.
As soon as they arrived at this luxurious villa, the eyes of Jin Qixuan's family of four lit up.
The current state of the four of them is exactly what Bong Joon-ho wants - a yearning for this place from within.
Therefore, the four people who have been fully involved in the play are very comfortable in performing.
The following days.
Everyone spent most of their time filming in this villa.
Occasionally, you need to go to the green screen of the studio or to shoot in shopping malls and other outdoor locations. There is no need to go back to the semi-underground for the time being.
In this way, Jin Qixuan stayed in the crew for two months.
Until mid-July.
Director Yook Sang-hyo called.
Ask whether "My First Class Brother" should be released in a different gear.
“Why change gears?”
"You... are isolated from the world?"
"Ah, I have been immersed in filming for the past two months and have not paid attention to outside news. Is it some policy influence?"
"I I’ll send you an email and take a look.”
After hanging up the phone, Jin Qixuan opened his mailbox and clicked on the email sent to him by Lu Xiangxiao.
Read the content of the email.
Jin Qixuan only felt pain in his head.
The content of the email contained detailed information about the films to be released during the summer vacation.
Not to mention foreign blockbusters such as "The Meg" and "Mission: Impossible 6".
The local release of these movies is enough for him to drink a pot.
Starring Hwang Jung-min - "Work";
Starring Ha Jung-woo - "Along with the Gods 2";
Starring Jo In-sung - "Anshi City";
< br>
Starring Han Hyo-joo - "Werewolf";
Starring Park Bo-young - "Your Wedding".
These are all heavyweights. Among them, "Along with the Gods 2" is the sequel to last year's first hit.
When the first part was released, it set a record of 14.41 million moviegoers.
Becomes the second most watched movie in Peninsula film history.
With such impressive results, the second part is highly anticipated even before it is released.
So, for "My First Class Brother".
This is simply a death schedule.
If it is released with these films, there is a high probability that no one will be left behind.
As expected, the pressure of flying without a big boss is indeed great.
Just as Jin Qixuan was rubbing his eyebrows in thought.
Lu Xiangxiao called again.
"How's it going? Have you read the email, what do you think?"
"Don't withdraw the file, be positive."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Xiangxiao seemed to be shocked by this answer. He was stunned for a few seconds before asking:
"Seriously?"
"Yes, my sword is not bad at all!"< br>
Being timid before fighting is a taboo for military strategists.
"My Brother" was widely praised at Cannes.
With the help of international film festivals, why not give it a try?
What's more, Jin Qixuan's 12 million+ fans on INS are not just in name.
They are all solid box office guarantees.
If you are even afraid of fighting on the mainland.
Then when the movie is released overseas, it will not be eaten up by those foreign blockbusters?
Therefore, Jin Qixuan is very confident about "My First Class Brother".
Hearing this, Lu Xiangxiao was silent for a few seconds, then laughed and said:
"Okay, I'm brave! Then I'll do as you say, don't withdraw, just be upfront!"
After hanging up the phone.
Not long after, Lu Xiangxiao sent another email.
Inside is a detailed marketing plan for the film.
This plan covers almost all imaginable marketing points.
From trailers, posters, materials, to road shows, press conferences, VIP screenings, film critics viewings, etc... everything is available.
After reading it, Jin Qixuan nodded with satisfaction.
Lu Xiangxiao is really good at this.
After all, if you want to stand out among many films, the quality of the film itself is not enough.
Some additional promotional tools are also needed to attract the audience's attention.
In this regard, he has a unique advantage - personal influence.
Jin Qixuan opens INS.
Looking at the huge number of fans above, I had an idea in my mind.
In the next few days.
He was filming on the set.
While using my free time to post some content related to "My First Class Brother" on INS.
From the filming behind-the-scenes, to the interaction with the crew, to the understanding and perception of the characters...
He completely immersed himself in the world of the movie and shared it with fans This unique experience.
Fans were also infected by his enthusiasm and left messages expressing their anticipation for the release of the movie.
In this way, driven by Jin Qixuan, the popularity of "My First Class Brother" gradually increased.
At the same time, Lu Xiangxiao was not idle either.
He took Lee Kwang Soo and Lee Sun Bin to various major TV stations and variety shows to promote and build momentum.
Although, Jin Qixuan was unable to participate in the promotion because he was filming on the set.
However, his promotional materials are always out there.
There are posters of him standing in front of shopping malls;
There are billboards of his standing in subway stations;
There are trailers of his movies being played on loop in movie theaters;
And his various magazine blockbusters are placed in the most conspicuous places in bookstores and newsstands...
Look at these Reuters photos.
Jin Qixuan couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
This is your own influence!
I hope this movie can live up to expectations and achieve good results.
After two weeks of publicity warm-up.
"My First Class Brother" ushered in a VIP preview.
Jin Qixuan will definitely attend this occasion.
Bong Joon-ho not only gave him a holiday, but also specially sent Song Kanghao to support him.
There were quite a few artists in attendance at this VIP preview.
There are more than ten people supporting Lee Kwang Soo alone.
All RM members, Jo In-sung, Joy, etc...
As for Jin Qixuan, all the "three horses" came except Cui Minzhi.
In addition, there are the popular Park Bo Gum, fishing guy Gong Yoo, Nam Joo Hyuk who is about to change jobs, TV drama actor Park Seo Joon who is currently a hot topic, Lim Yoona who has just formed a SNSD unit, etc... …
Sisters like Han Hyo-joo and Park Bo-young who have a good relationship with Kim Ki-hyun.
Due to conflicting schedules, I was unable to attend to support him.
Including Li Zhien, he was also unable to attend due to a car crash during his schedule.
However, even though they are missing.
The VIP lineup attending "My First Class Brother" is still extremely luxurious.
Many media have lamented Jin Qixuan’s wide network of contacts.
After the VIP preview.
Jin Qixuan communicated with a group of artist friends backstage.
We are all busy people.
But they are all willing to take time out to support him. This friendship is definitely worth remembering by Jin Qixuan.
"Qixuan, your movie must be a big hit!"
Park Bo Gum patted Jin Qixuan on the shoulder and smiled.
"It's necessary. If you need a guest appearance in your new drama, call me."
"You are indispensable."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the tacit understanding between them was self-evident.
After bidding farewell to Park Bo Gum, Kim Qi Xuan chatted with Gong Liu again.
Speaking of which, Gong Yoo is the same as Yoo In Na.
Since the end of "Goblin", there are no plans for any film or television shooting.
But when it was different, Yoo In Na had no chance to take over.
Kong Liu has been hiding and fishing for two years...
Speaking of it, it is not easy for this uncle to blow up and support Jin Qixuan.
"Dehua, do you want to go fishing in Jeju Island together in September? I made an appointment with Ashi, so I sent you."
"Uncle, I can't do it. The movie hasn't been finished yet."
"Oh, that's such a pity. Let me tell you, last month I caught a 65-centimeter real sea bream!"
After hearing this, Jin Qixuan couldn’t help but widen his eyes with envy on his face and said:
"Wow, that must be a super fishing experience."
Kong Liu smiled proudly and said:
"Yes, the sense of accomplishment is really beyond words. To describe it. But don’t be too envious. We can go together when we have time, and we will let you experience the fun of catching big fish.”
Jin Qixuan nodded repeatedly, what his heart wanted.
The two chatted for a while.
Gong Liu left first because he received a script he liked and wanted to interview the director.
Park Seo Joon has to go back to filming.
He hugged Jin Qi, congratulated him on the box office success, and then left.
Seeing that there was no one around Jin Qixuan, Nan Zhuhe came over and said:
"Brother, I have talked with the car representative. I will go there after the contract expires in May next year."
"Oh, then we will be in the same school."
"That's right. , please give me more help and support in the future.”
Jin Qixuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Work hard together and make progress together."
Nan Zhuhe nodded, and then asked:
"Brother, what are you planning to film in your next movie? ”
"It's not decided yet."
"Then I look forward to cooperating with you."
"Okay, I will recommend you to the director if there is a suitable role."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
After bidding farewell to Nam Joo Hyuk, Jin Qixuan chatted with Lin Yuner for a while.
“What have Nu Na been busy with recently?”
"I debuted in the team, and I also learned rock climbing."
"Rock climbing???"
"Yes, because of the skills I learned in the new movie, I played the heroine."< br>
Heroine?
Jin Qixuan was stunned. Although he complained, he still had a smile on his face and said:
"Congratulations..."
"Thank you." Lin Yoona smiled sweetly: "But speaking of which, your movie is about to be released. How do you feel?"
"After all, this is my first starring movie, so I am a little nervous. , but more of an expectation. I hope it can bring some surprises to the audience.”
“From the audience’s perspective, your subversive performance was really surprising. I just cried.”
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan felt not only a little pride in his heart.
……
After seeing off all the artists present today.
Jin Qixuan and Song Kanghao returned to the "Parasite" crew to continue filming the subsequent plot.
After the VIP preview.
The official website of the film distribution company has also begun to release pre-sale tickets.
At the same time, the promotional variety shows recorded by Yook Sang Hyo, Lee Kwang Soo and Lee Sun Bin were also broadcast one by one.
In addition to the continuous release of trailers, posters and materials.
The popularity of "My First Class Brother" is second only to "Along with the Gods 2".
And on Jin Qixuan’s INS.
There are also more and more discussions and expectations about the movie.
【Can’t wait! ! 】
【I'm so anxious! ! ! 】
【I really want to see it! ! ! 】
【Jin Qixuan’s movie is definitely a tough battle, come on! 】
[I feel so touching after watching the trailer, I will definitely support it! 】
【Qixuan's acting skills are getting better and better, and he will definitely surprise the audience again this time! 】
……
It only took three days to achieve Jin Qixuan's celebrity effect.
