Chapter 356: Taking Xiao Li’s path and leaving her with nowhere to go
The next day.
"Parasite" premiered in Cannes last night and received unanimous praise from mainstream film critics around the world.
The game score was 3.5, the highest in the competition this year! (Full 4 points)
And another work known as the most competitive film for the Palme d'Or - "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" has a program score of only 3.0.
For a while.
"Parasite" stole the show at the Cannes Film Festival.
This also caused the film itself and director Bong Joon-ho to directly become the focus of global film public opinion.
The media on the peninsula also produced a special topic about "Parasite" overnight.
While analyzing his prospects for winning the Palme d'Or, he also did not forget to praise Bong Joon-ho to the heavens.
After all, this can be said to be Peninsula Film’s closest opportunity to win the highest award at the International Class A Film Festival.
Of course the people of the Peninsula need to take advantage of it.
Of course, as an actor in Bong Joon-ho's upcoming "Gods".
Jin Qixuan has also aroused strong interest from many Hollywood directors and producers.
After all, the two works he starred in, "The Evil Dead" and "Parasite", both appeared in Cannes.
The gap between the two characters is staggering.
One is a perverted murderer who makes people hate him.
One is a poor boy from the bottom of society.
Jin Qixuan was able to perfectly control such a huge contrast.
The two characters are played vividly.
The acting skills are superb!
In addition, he has high popularity, handsome appearance and high plasticity.
For a while.
Many Hollywood directors and producers have sent audition invitations to Jin Qixuan.
However, for these invitations.
Jin Qixuan declined politely due to schedule.
On the one hand, his schedule for the second half of the year is indeed full.
After completing the road shows of "The Evil Dead" and "Parasite", I will join the cast of "Light and Shadow" directed by Li Cangdong.
With Li Cangdong's slow-working and meticulous shooting schedule, four months of shooting time is considered short.
Coupled with brand activities in the second half of the year, fashion magazine shoots, various award ceremonies at the end of the year, and the road show of "When a Man Loves".
Jin Qixuan doesn't even have time to rest, so how can he have time to audition?
Another point is that Hollywood is not friendly to Asians.
Instead of going to Hollywood to play roles that are not on the stage, it is better to stay on the Peninsula and be a top-notch person.
Even if I am ostracized on the peninsula, it is better than being discriminated against in Hollywood.
What's more, he is still the company's cash cow.
Cha Taehyun is still pointing at him to make money.
If he went to Hollywood to start over, the company would probably be in trouble.
……
After the premiere of "Parasite" at the Cannes Film Festival, it received great acclaim.
CJ also took advantage of this momentum and released the second trailer again.
Compared to the first trailer, this trailer has obviously more information.
Among them, Jin Qixuan’s line:
——Treat this place as your home until they come back.
It was also used as a slogan by CJ and put into promotional posters.
After the trailer was released, it received over 5 million views in just one day.
It tied the record of 24-hour trailer views set by "Train to Busan".
Even the number of people who want to watch it on Rotten Tomatoes has exceeded 200,000.
True, popular before it is released!
Jin Qixuan and others were also sent back to Seoul by Bong Joon Ho to attend the press conference of "Parasite".
As for him, he stayed in Cannes to wait for the closing ceremony of Cannes on the evening of the 25th.
After all, as a strong contender for the Palme d'Or.
It would be a bit embarrassing if Bong Joon-ho left early.
……
May 23, early morning.
The crew of "Parasite" arrived in Seoul.
Due to frequent jet lag recently.
As a result, Jin Qixuan's mental state was not very good at this moment.
But nevertheless.
He still took advantage of his own private time to attack Li Zhien at night.
If we don’t meet again, Xiao Li will probably explode.
At this time, our poor classmate Zhien is still conscientiously guarding the set of "Hotel Del Luna".
She is the heroine after all.
Even if there is no role for her, she still has to wait on the set.
After all, there’s no telling when a great idea will come to the writer or director.
It wouldn’t be a bad thing if she wasn’t here.
Two o'clock in the morning.
With the director's words "call it a day".
Li Zhien felt as if he had been granted amnesty, yawned, and immediately ran away from the set.
When she got into the nanny car, she glanced at the fact that there was no message from Jin Qixuan on her phone and couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Are you reading my news?"
At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Li Zhien was stunned for a moment and quickly looked back.
She saw Jin Qixuan sitting in the back seat, looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Ah! Why...hum!"
The original expression of surprise was suppressed by her in an instant, and then she snorted and turned her head away.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan quickly moved to her side and held her in his arms.
Li Zhien struggled twice symbolically, and then let Jin Qixuan hold him like this.
“Miss me?”
"I don't miss you."
Li Zhien tilted his head and said what he meant.
"Then shall I leave?"
Hearing this, Li Zhien immediately raised his hand and pinched his neck, threatening:
"You try to leave."
Looking at his little daughter-in-law pretending to be fierce.
Jin Qixuan quickly raised his hands in surrender and said:
"I came to see you as soon as I got off the plane."
"Huh, why are you so good this time?"
"I can't help it, I miss you so much."
As the saying goes, sincerity is always a surefire weapon.
Listen to Jin Qixuan’s words, “I miss you.”
Li Zhien felt that the resentment in his heart disappeared.
Instead, there is deep sweetness and happiness.
Immediately, she raised her hand and stroked his newly grown stubble, and muttered:
"I really can't do anything with you."
"Hehe."
"I've been very busy lately. I feel like you've lost weight."
"It's like this during the promotion period."
"How is the movie? Palme d'Or...are there any hopes?"
Jin Qixuan nodded and said:
"Yes, director Feng's lens language is very meaningful and expresses a lot of things. The probability is not small."
Movies are an art after all.
Art has its own threshold.
In Jin Qixuan's eyes, Bong Joon-ho's camera language is not inferior to Lao Mouzi at all.
What’s more, the Palme d’Or still depends on the chairman of the jury.
The chairman of this year's jury is Iñárritu.
Mexican director.
Like Bong Joon-ho, they are both directors who became famous by shooting foreign language films.
"Birdman" and "The Revenant" made him famous in Hollywood.
At the same time, Iñárritu is also a left-wing director.
If Bong Joon-ho explains it from the aspects of human nature and social class, Iñárritu will definitely fall for it.
So, "Parasite" still has a very good chance of winning. Hearing this, Li Zhien curled his lips and said:
"Then if you win the award, won't your value increase again? Will you have more trips in the year after next?"
"Ah..."
Jin Qixuan understood the meaning of her words, but he chose to kick the ball back and asked:
"What do you think of the future prospects of your drama?"
Li Zhien thought for a while and said:
"It should be pretty good, right?"
"No, it's quite good. You have your own traffic, and a script that shows all your advantages in combination will not be popular."
< br>Hearing this, Li Zhien smiled naively and said:
"Hehe, that's true. Let me lend you some good words."
"You are still laughing. If this drama breaks out, your schedule will not be scheduled until 2021? How can you still have time to accompany me? ? Is this marriage still over? "
"..."
Hearing this, the expression on Li Zhien's face changed rapidly. First he blinked cutely, and then he frowned slightly in thought.
In the end, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he raised his hand to pinch Jin Qixuan's neck again, shouting:
"Okay, use my words to deal with me!"
Facing classmate Zhien who did not follow the routine, Jin Qixuan had no choice but to be defeated and raised his hands in surrender again, saying:
"This marriage will definitely not happen this year. It will be officially announced this year and will be married next year. In half a year, let’s find a date to hold the wedding?”
The official procedures they completed at the beginning of the year have also been completed.
Now, they are a legal couple recognized by the law.
Hearing this, Li Zhien thought for a while.
Married after three years of dating, everything is just right.
So, he nodded and said:
"The first half of next year is fine."
"If it's confirmed, I won't take the show in the first half of next year."
< br>
Seeing Li Zhien's longing expression, Jin Qixuan pinched her cheek and smiled.
"Hmm, then do we have to customize the wedding clothes in advance?"
"There is enough time. When your drama is finished, we will have fashion week in September. Let’s go to Milan to find Director Michel”
"Okay!"
"Then where shall we hold the wedding?"
"How about Jeju Island?"
Seeing how Li Zhien acted without thinking, he must have been thinking about it for a long time.
Therefore, Jin Qixuan nodded repeatedly: "Okay."
"Then let's go to Marl for our honeymoon..."
"Wait a minute."
Jin Qixuan interrupted her and said:
"It's too early to plan a honeymoon. You might as well plan carefully first for what we will officially announce in the second half of the year."
"It's been planned a long time ago!"
Li Zhien said with pride.
“Oh? Tell me.”
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan asked curiously.
“I have been taking time to make a new album recently. When our movie is in the promotion period, I will hold an album concert, and then in the middle of the concert, I will sing our story to the fans. At that time, the clip of our love story will be played on the big screen, perfect!”
After saying that, Li Zhien clapped to himself, looking like he was waiting for praise.
"The idea is very exciting."
"However, we should first follow the movie promotion to promote the CP and increase the popularity of the relationship, and then let D agency expose our relationship, so as to let your fans Be mentally prepared.”
“The official announcement will not be so sudden by then.”
Hearing this, Li Zhien tilted his head and looked at Jin Qixuan for a while, then said:
"This seems to be better!"
"Yes, in this way, the official announcement of the love affair will definitely be the same. Bring some traffic to our movies.”
"Ah, you are really cunning."
As he spoke, Li Zhien poked Jin Qixuan's chest with a smile.
“Is this what I call smart?”
"Okay, okay, smart, smart."
While joking, the two also arrived at the love nest.
Then, Li Zhien also invited Jin Qixuan to play basketball one-on-one.
Although he was a little tired, the man couldn't say no.
Breakthrough with the ball, seven in and seven out, Jin Qixuan is naturally proficient in these little skills.
Soon, Li Zhien was killed and defeated.
……
The evening of May 25th.
At the moment when everyone is watching.
"Parasite" won the most prestigious Palme d'Or at the closing ceremony of the 72nd Cannes Film Festival!
For a time, Bong Joon-ho became the pride of the entire South Korea.
Even the Blue House sent a congratulatory message to the crew of "Parasite" overnight.
The whole of South Korea, at this moment, can be said to be celebrating.
South Korea’s local film won the Palme d’Or for the first time, which is something the entire country should be proud of.
Under this trend.
The crew of "Parasite" without Bong Joon Ho also held the film press conference as scheduled.
Activity site.
When Jin Qixuan and his entourage came on stage, the scene suddenly burst into warm applause and cheers.
Although "Parasite" has not been officially released yet.
But the film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and has already spread throughout the peninsula.
Therefore, everyone is paying great attention to this movie that can go abroad and win glory for the country.
Coupled with CJ's tireless promotion, the movie "Parasite" has become the most anticipated movie by the people of the peninsula in recent times.
No one!
As the leading actors in this movie, Jin Qixuan and others have also received great attention.
The press conference was packed with seats.
Media reporters raised their hands and wanted to ask questions.
“First of all, I would like to thank everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend today’s press conference.”
"On behalf of myself and the entire crew of "Parasite", I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone."
Wait until the applause passes.
Park Jinglin handed the microphone to the reporters who frequently raised their hands to ask questions.
The first person to be questioned was naturally Guomin Song.
"Excuse me, how was your cooperation with the actors who played the family members?"
Song Kanghao picked up the microphone and smiled:
"I have worked with Zhang Huizhen, who plays my wife, in "The Secret Sun", and Su Dam, who plays my daughter, we have also met in "Mourning". Only Qi Xuan, who plays my son, is the first time we work together. Everyone can feel it after watching the movie. , we have a very tacit understanding."
After listening, the reporter continued to ask:
"You are in "The King of Narcotics", "Taxi Driver", "The Secret Agent", "The Defender", etc. Starring. Because "Parasite" is a movie where family harmony is more important, will your pressure be relieved a little?"
Song Kanghao nodded and said:
"That's for sure. I had to carry it all by myself before. Although it is also very valuable, it is also very tiring because of the sense of responsibility and fatigue that comes with it. It’s different this time with a giant like Bong Joon-ho.”
Hearing this, the reporters lowered their heads to record.
After a while, a reporter asked Jin Qixuan:
"Do you feel a lot of pressure when acting with so many seniors?"
This kind of question has been asked by Jin Qixuan since his debut. Just kept listening.
Therefore, he picked up the microphone without thinking and replied:
“It’s more about motivation than pressure.”
“Being able to work with so many outstanding seniors It’s my honor to cooperate.”
The reporter nodded and then asked:
"Director Bong Joon-ho is famous for his control over details. So, will it limit the performance of your acting skills during the filming?"
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan shook his head and said:
"No, in fact, there are many times when the director shows us his acting skills, and we just act as he does."
"For example, in one scene, our family hid under the sofa, in order to show Feeling that sense of urgency, Director Feng personally showed us how to huddle under the sofa."
"But he almost didn't come out."
With that said, Jin Qixuan compared Bong Joon-ho's physique.
“Hahaha...”
I understood it instantly on the spot.
There was a moment of laughter.
