Chapter 376 Red Carpet Explosion
After seeing an acquaintance, Jin Qixuan did not go back and sat directly next to Xue Jingqiu with Huang Zhengmin.
"Uncle Xue, are you here to reminisce?"
After seeing Jin Qixuan, Xue Jingqiu also showed a smile and said:
"Haha, yes, it is said that this version has been restored in 4K high-definition, so I came to see it again."
"We Yes.”
With that said, Jin Qixuan took the two of them to take a photo together.
Although Huang Zhengmin and Xue Jingqiu were casual acquaintances, with Jin Qixuan as the hub, the three of them chatted pretty well.
After a while, the lights in the hall dimmed.
The three of them ended their conversation and looked at the screen.
I have to say that the picture quality of "Peppermint Candy" after high-definition restoration is very good.
The repaired version is not a simple sharpening, but one that is very natural and delicate, and the colors are very real and full, as if it was taken yesterday.
In addition to conventional operations such as denoising, color cast removal, and deblurring, many details are also restored frame by frame.
The audio processing is more significant, and the in-ear effect is perfect.
As the familiar title appears.
Jin Qixuan's attention was also highly concentrated.
He has watched this movie twice, but he has a different feeling every time he watches it.
Knowing the ending, but still stuck in it.
130 minutes later.
After the movie was played, Jin Qixuan couldn’t help but sigh:
“This is what the movie should be like.”
Hearing this, Xue Jingqiu shook his head with a smile and said:
"Today's audiences no longer like this kind of movie."
"The tastes of the times are changing, and the pressure of life now is enough When we are older, watching movies is to relieve stress and have fun, and no one wants to spend money to suffer.”
On the side, Huang Zhengmin spoke.
“But movies cannot just provide cheap emotional value. Show the audience whatever they like. That would be too irresponsible.”
After Jin Qixuan finished speaking, Huang Zhengmin smiled bitterly. Road:
"Qixuan, this is an era where traffic is king and box office is king. Your theories won't work."
"This is actually..."
Peninsula Cannes competes for the Palme d'Or The film did not do well at the local box office.
The only exception is "Parasite".
But directors like Bong Joon-ho who can balance art and business are still in the minority.
Many movies with great artistic value are often silent when they are released and quietly when they are released.
By the time "Peppermint Candy" ended, it was already lunch time.
Xue Jingqiu had other things to do, so he said goodbye to the two of them.
After a casual meal at a restaurant near the cinema, Jin Qixuan and Huang Zhengmin wandered around in Cinema No. 5.
The development of Peninsula Cinema can be roughly divided into three rounds.
Early movies in ancient times were all silent films.
That is, there is no sound and no color. Although it has been repaired, it is not interesting to watch.
Most of the movies in the second round were about the North-South issue, that is, spy movies.
At that time, spy infiltration from both the North and the South was very serious.
In this environment, films reflecting related themes naturally emerge in endlessly.
In the third round, I started to learn the shooting mode of Xiangjiang movies, learn the song and dance elements of Bollywood, and learn the industrial system of Hollywood, and gradually integrated my own method.
That is to say, the period from the 1970s to the 1990s was the thirty years of explosive development of Peninsula Cinema.
From romance films to war films, from crime films to horror films, there are many classic films.
Among them, the romance film genre has dominated Asia for nearly 40 years.
It still lasts until now.
It’s just that most of Peninsula’s romance films deal with terminal illnesses, car accidents, and incurable diseases.
In short, dog blood.
On the opening day of the Busan Film Festival, the crew of "Light and Shadow" had a great time watching it.
After watching it, everyone returned to the set to shoot even more energetically.
After all, the temptation to leave such a touch of color in film history is too great.
In a blink of an eye.
There are only two days left until the Grand Bell Award Ceremony.
Taking advantage of the lack of drama these days, Jin Qixuan and Li Cangdong took two days off to deal with some personal matters.
Li Cangdong expressed his understanding of this.
After all, candidates for the Best Actor Award for Da Zhong should spare a few days to prepare.
"Although you have already won the Best Actor, no matter how you say it, it is still a big event, and you should really prepare for it."
Li Cangdong patted Jin Qixuan's shoulder kindly and said with a smile:
“Relax, your level is there, it’s normal if you get it, and it’s normal if you don’t get it.”
Jin Qixuan listened to Li Cangdong's persuasive instructions and thought for a while but still did not interrupt.
For him, there is actually nothing to prepare for the Grand Bell Award.
He took a leave of absence to be the leading actor in the MV for "Outside Time" in Li Zhien's new album...
Although, no actor would be the male protagonist of an idol’s MV.
But if the other person is a family member, it is a different matter.
Early the next morning.
Jin Qixuan arrived at the studio where the MV was shot.
We haven’t seen each other for half a month. After several bleaching and dyeing sessions, Li Zhien’s hair color has become the blue theme of the album.
“Coming?”
Li Zhien, who was talking to the makeup artist, saw Jin Qixuan in the mirror, raised the corners of his mouth, and said softly:
"Go ahead and change your clothes, and we will start the scene later."
"Yes. .”
Before going to the changing room, Jin Qixuan still couldn't hold it back and went over to pinch her cheek.
"Ouch! Don't pinch me, my makeup will be ruined!"
Li Zhien slapped Jin Qixuan's hand away, feigning anger.
"Slightly, slightly~"
Jin Qixuan made a mean face.
Then, Li Zhien gave an angry fist-clenching warning.
On the side, the makeup artist who was helping her look at this scene pursed her lips and snickered.
After seeing Jin Qixuan leave, she said with emotion:
"You and your boyfriend have a really good relationship."
"It's not my boyfriend, it's my husband."
Li Zhien immediately corrected him.
“Ah, yes, yes, when will your wedding be held?”
The makeup artist asked curiously.
"The sixth day of the second lunar month is February 26 next year. This is calculated based on our birth dates."
As soon as the wedding was mentioned, Li Zhien became interested and introduced it. .
"Wow, that's really fast."
"Yeah, so I've been worrying about this matter recently."
"What should I say? Is it difficult to book a wedding venue?"
"No."
Li Zhien shook his head and said: "The venue has been decided at the Shilla Hotel."
"What is that?"
The makeup artist asked.
“The question of inviting a bridesmaid...”
“Oh.”
Regarding this kind of topic, the makeup artist didn't have much words to give any advice.
After a while.
After changing their clothes, the two met in front of the MV director.
This "Beyond Time" MV is a love story that spans time and space, and is also a continuation of the story of the "You and Me" MV.
In the MV for "You and Me", Li Zhien makes a time machine and travels through the future to find the male protagonist.
In the MV for "Beyond Time", the male protagonist makes a time machine and goes back to the past to fall in love with her.
Originally, Lee Ji-eun planned to find Lee Hyun-woo, who played the male lead in the "You and Me" MV, to continue the outline of the story.
But, this one has enlisted in the army.
So, Jin Qixuan can only be used as a tool man.
As for the filming of the MV, in addition to the regular performances, there is also an additional singing and dancing performance.
That is, through the form of dance and body movements, emotional expression is shown.
Although Jin Qixuan is not a professional dancer, neither is Li Zhien!
Therefore, the level of difficulty she could dance was naturally not a problem for Jin Qixuan...
Therefore, Jin Qixuan mastered this dance in just one hour.
"OK! Passed!" Director Huang Xiuya behind the monitor nodded with great satisfaction after watching the playback.
It is indeed a pleasure to film with an actor of his level.
Especially in the last paragraph, the contagiousness of his crying after waking up can make people feel distressed through the screen.
The essence of appeal lies in the eyes. If you find the eyes correctly, the whole scene will suddenly have a soul.
Huang Xiuya is the MV director of Lee Ji-eun's famous film "Good Days".
This time I heard that Li Zhien asked Jin Qixuan to be the male lead, and she also volunteered to direct this MV.
Not only that, she also brought her entire team of photographers, lighting engineers, and more.
Three aces: a good actor, a good director, and good songs, plus a top makeup team in the industry.
This also results in the production of this MV being no worse than that of movies and TV series.
As a result, Li Zhien's funding for this album soared inexplicably.
Fortunately, the producer of this album is herself, who is very wealthy...
Actually, the filming of this kind of MV is very simple, without too complicated plot.
Overall, this is a story about working hard for love.
In "You and Me", Li Zhien is a child who can see the future.
She saw the male protagonist falling in love when she grew up, and she also saw the future male protagonist building a time machine.
So Li Zhien eight years ago imitated the male protagonist eight years later and worked together to build a time machine. Both of them used their own methods to sprint towards each other.
However, the two are not in the same time and space, but they are connected by a strange combination of circumstances.
The two can feel each other's presence, but they cannot see each other.
This story is the same as the setting of "Invisible people can be seen at dusk" in "Your Name".
12:20 is the time when the male and female protagonists meet.
In the MV for "You and Me", Li Zhien's dance moves indicate 12:20.
In "Beyond Time", the male protagonist wakes up and adjusts the clock to 12:20.
So the two began a romantic date outside of time.
When time passed, the two returned to their own world.
The male protagonist woke up and cried bitterly, thinking it was a dream.
But Li Zhien left a blue rose in his hand.
The flower language of blue roses is miracle, hope and love that never gives up.
For such a simple drama, Jin Qixuan is naturally good at it.
When watching the replay of this scene, he was also very satisfied with his performance.
While Jin Qixuan was looking at it, he suddenly heard someone singing next to him.
He turned around and saw that the original singer was singing accompaniment for this scene...
Seeing everyone at the scene looking at him, Li Zhien smiled naively and said:
"I'm looking for a feeling. , look at the final effect..."
Others were not surprised by Li Zhien's actions. Seeing that everyone was speechless, Jin Qixuan opened his mouth and swallowed his complaints.
……
Two days later, October 22nd.
The filming of the MV for "Outside of Time" has ended.
On the same day, the young couple had been working in the beauty salon since the morning, striving to present the most perfect appearance at the Grand Bell Awards Ceremony in the evening.
Perhaps he won his first Best Actor Award at the Grand Bell Awards, which gave Jin Qixuan a strong sense of belonging to the Grand Bell Awards.
Attending the Grand Bell Awards is like coming home.
The person responsible for his styling tonight was the styling team of GQ magazine, and Li Zhien also followed him and took a look at the team's makeup.
Compared with Jin Qixuan’s very complicated outfit, her dress and accessories tonight are all sponsored by Gucci.
In the peninsula, there are few female artists who attend with high-end sponsors.
Six thirty in the evening.
The two got into the nanny car and drove towards the Peace Hall of Kyung Hee University, the venue for the Grand Bell Award.
As per usual.
The order of the red carpet is judges, award presenters, hosts, idols of the show, and finally the film's nominated crew.
Compared with the deserted red carpet last year, there were many more actors attending the Grand Bell Awards this year.
Therefore, with an actor of Song Kanghao's level attending, there is no need for Kim Qixuan to come to the red carpet for the finale.
However, the young couple were the first among the film crew to attend the red carpet.
Ten past seven.
A black nanny van parked at the red carpet entrance.
The moment Li Zhien got out of the car with a small skirt in one hand and Jin Qixuan in the other, the scene suddenly burst into screams and cheers.
The flashlight flashed crazily all the time.
"Jin Qixuan!!!"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"IU!!!"
"..."
As the top traffic on the peninsula, it goes without saying that the two are very popular.
In addition, Li Zhien attended tonight with makeup made by a top styling team, and her appearance surpassed the female artists and idols who attended before.
In short, the little fairy Zhien is so beautiful tonight!
Hearing the shouts of the fans, she first smiled and waved to them, then she held up her skirt, held Jin Qixuan's arm, and walked slowly onto the red carpet.
The Hall of Peace at Kyung Hee University is not big, and the length of the red carpet is naturally not long either.
The two soon walked to a group of reporters.
At the request of reporters, the two naturally put on various sweet poses for business.
At the same time, netizens who watched the live broadcast online were bombarded with barrage.
[Come on, come on, open the screen and it will be a beauty crit! ! 】
【Wow, IU’s beauty is at a new level tonight, this dress suits her so well! 】
【This young couple is in the same frame, and they are ecstatic! 】
[These two are here to blow up the red carpet! 】
【A perfect match, tears in my eyes! 】
【Tonight, the looks of the two of them are completely unique. This styling team should add chicken legs! 】
...
A moment later.
Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien walked to the outside host and began to be interviewed.
"Jin Qixuanxi, we all know that last year you won the Best Actor at the Grand Bell Awards, and this year you were nominated for the award again. I wonder how you feel at this moment?"
"First of all It's an honor to be invited to attend the Grand Bell Awards again, and then..."
He glanced sideways at Li Zhien beside him and smiled:
"Of course I am in a good mood. No matter whether I win an award or not, I am very happy to have her by my side."
"Haha, it seems that the two of them have no love for each other since the official announcement. I won’t cover it up anymore..."
That’s what he said, but anyone could hear that there was a hint of sourness in the host’s words.
In order to avoid eating dog food again, the host also focused all the questions on the topic of tonight's Grand Bell Award.
However, no matter how she asked, Jin Qixuan could always end up with "Li Zhien" as the topic.
Finally, the host drove them away with a polite yet awkward smile...
However, even if he drives people away, Jin Qixuan cannot leave.
Because the next crew to walk on the red carpet is "Parasite".
Since Li Zhien had a guest role in the drama, Jin Qixuan confidently dragged her to take a photo.
Regarding this matter, the thin-skinned Li Zhien still wanted to refuse.
But when Jin Qixuan grabbed her waist, she had to follow him to take a photo.
After "Parasite", the crew of "The Evil Dead" attended.
So, Jin Qixuan happily took another photo with Ma Dongxi and Kim Mooyeol.
Seeing Li Zhien standing alone waiting for Jin Qixuan, Ma Dongxi smiled and waved to her:
"Come on, let's take a photo together."
"Yes, come here, we are all family members."
Jin Wuyeol greeted in the same way.
Seeing this, Li Zhien hesitated for a moment, and just took a step forward when a microphone was handed over to him.
"IUxi, did you also have a guest appearance in "The Legend of the Bad"? What role did you play?"
The off-site host asked with a smile.
Li Zhien: "..."
She was originally thin-skinned, but now she just wanted to get into a hole in the ground.
"I, uh, which..." Li Zhien stiffened for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "No, I didn't act anything."
As she said that, she stepped back. After a few steps, he waved towards Jin Qixuan and others:
"You guys go ahead and take pictures, I won't go over there."
As she spoke, an aggrieved yet elegant smile appeared on her little face.
“……”
At this moment, the outfield host realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing just now.
Because, there were many people at the scene staring at her...
