Chapter 388: Program broadcast and Christmas
Since Jin Qixuan finished filming "Light and Shadow", his life has been very leisurely.
Go to school during the day to prepare for exams, papers, and defenses for graduation next year.
In the afternoon, according to the marketing strategies of different brands, we performed the duties of spokespersons and attended the event site.
In addition to these two necessary itineraries, Jin Qixuan also frequently attends various award ceremonies.
For example, SBS Awards, you can be a presenter.
As for fashion categories such as the ELLE Fashion Awards, they attend to receive awards.
No matter what type of event, Jin Qixuan’s presence brought them enough gimmicks.
Fans are happy that their idols are doing business frequently; the brand owner is happy about the benefits brought by Jin Qixuan; the organizer is happy that Jin Qixuan has brought a substantial increase in the ratings and popularity of the show.
Jin Qixuan is also happy that he is needed by everyone.
It can be said that this is a virtuous circle.
Of course, in this not too busy working time, Jin Qixuan can also have time to manage his friendship.
In the evening, I got together with Lee Dong-hui and Park Bo-gum, ate and drank, and randomly checked whether Zheng Hao-yeon's acting skills had improved.
Occasionally I visit Lee Kwang Soo and Yoo Ah In on the crew of "The Life of a Witty Doctor" and the crew of "Silent".
When I had nothing to do, I didn’t forget to make an appointment with director Hwang Dong Hyuk for a meal, and then asked Yoo In Na to attend Lee Ji Eun’s concert.
The days were extremely pleasant.
The online variety show "Golden Ax Dating Story", for which he served as PD for the first time, was also launched simultaneously with YouTube and Huaxia Xiaopo Station on December 20.
During the preheating and promotion of the show, the momentum was quite huge.
After all, the couple’s combined Instagram followers have exceeded 30 million.
Although, there are at least 3 million overlapping fans.
But the effect is several times stronger than ordinary publicity.
What's more, there are many friends in the industry who spontaneously help promote it.
Therefore, with such publicity, viewers will naturally click in curiously.
For this reason, on the first day the show was launched, millions of fans came to hear the news.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the first issue of "Golden Ax Searching for Love" was finally launched simultaneously on Xiaopo Station and YouTube.
Just one minute after the program went online, countless barrages passed by.
“Coming, coming!”
"It's not in vain that I've been waiting for so long."
"Let's see if the golden tiger can bloom like an iron tree~"
"Why do I want to laugh when I see Lee Kwang Soo!"
"..."
Along with many barrages, the show officially kicked off.
Since it was premiered simultaneously, the self-introduction of Kim Jong Kook at the beginning of the Xiaobo version was specially recorded in Chinese to increase the intimacy of the audience.
Speaking of which, Kim Jong Kook does not have that strong foreign accent when speaking Mandarin.
After all, it has developed in China for a while and even released Chinese songs.
Of course, it also has something to do with recording it countless times.
As the show went on, the barrage became more and more frequent.
Especially when the two of them chatted about getting to know each other in the restaurant, and then the love army complained about it, the barrage increased.
“I’m laughing so hard, my family has to come to complain.”
"Kimchi has to be washed before eating, so wouldn't it be easier to just eat the cabbage raw?"
"Trivia, the cabbage in the peninsula is all imported from us~"
"Kim Jong Kook He's so stingy that he doesn't even support Jin Qixuan's movies, hahaha..."
"Haha, as expected, the Golden Ax lives up to its reputation. This is not a blind date, it's clearly a favor..."
"Haha, Jessi Ernie has many ideal types."
"This is really true. Love variety show? Are you sure it’s not a comedy variety show?”
"..."
When the scene progressed to Kim Jong Kook singing a love song to Jessi, and the subway suddenly passed by, the barrage was even more hilarious.
“I laughed so hard. The subway came at the wrong time. I broke all the love song filters, haha...”
"Metro: Golden Ax still wants to fall in love? I don't agree!"
"Metro: This road is blocked, haha..."
"Metro: Want to fall in love? I'll call Jin and withdraw his troops... …”
"..."
Amidst the many barrages, the first episode also came to an end.
The final ending is Jessi’s feelings towards Kim Jong Kook at the end of the day.
Regardless of image, financial resources, fame and the circle around him, Jessi spoke highly of Kim Jong Kook.
But for the time being, I have no idea of continuing the contact.
Because Kim Jong Kook’s eating habits were so clean that she was scared.
Instead of trying to compromise and cooperate with each other, it's better to be happy brothers and sisters.
After all, their concepts of life are very different.
With the end of the show, discussions about this show on Xiaobao.com and YouTube also exploded.
Some discussed the characters of Kim Jong Kook and Jessi, some discussed the love strategists, some discussed the power of the later stage, some discussed the effects of the program, etc...
I would not say that this variety show is a phenomenon, but it is a hit. For sure.
Because of this, Jin Qixuan’s phone was buzzing with calls the night the show aired.
Some people came to congratulate, some came to inquire about the candidates for subsequent guests, and some came to recommend themselves. In short, there were all kinds of people.
Jin Qixuan was quite happy about this.
After all, making achievements in different fields can add a lot to his life resume.
However, while he was happy, Jin Qixuan held an overnight meeting with the post-production team to summarize the problems that occurred in the first phase to ensure that they could be avoided in the second phase.
“The first episode has been broadcast, and the effect is pretty good, but there are also many problems.”
“First of all, it is the positioning of the program, a love variety show, focusing on love, and variety shows as auxiliary, but the first episode was a bit putting the cart before the horse, the variety show effect was great, but the love effect was average.”
"Of course, this also has something to do with the personality of the guests."
"Secondly, the setting of the program is still too monotonous and lacks some classic items of love variety shows, such as doing heartbeat tests on each other and guessing each other's Hobbies and so on..."
"Then, there is..."
Listening to the many problems summarized by Jin Qixuan, everyone also held a meeting to discuss improvement plans.
Although Jin Qixuan will resign as chief PD in the next issue, he still has to leave a good chance for the next one, right?
What's more, this program was jointly funded by him and Lao Jin, and it also related to his interests, so naturally he couldn't let it go.
In this way, the meeting continued until late at night.
During the discussion, the recording plan for the second episode of the program is gradually taking shape.
December 25th.
Christmas day.
Chosun Ilbo announced an entertainment news.
——Jin Qixuan is confirmed to star in the Netflix original series, the male protagonist of the new drama "Squid Game" written and directed by Huang Donghyuk, with a single episode salary of 300 million.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussion on the Internet.
You know, since Jin Qixuan showed his prominence in Zhongwu Road, many producers have extended an olive branch to him.
However, Jin Qixuan is really strict in selecting scripts and it is difficult to get an appointment.
Later, with the popularity of "My First Class Brother".
Jin Qixuan also won the Blue Dragon Award and the Daejong Award for Best Actor in one fell swoop.
Coupled with the cumulative box office and endorsement of luxury goods, he has become the most popular actor at the moment.
Especially this year, he was awarded the Best Actor Award for the second time and starred in "Parasite" which won the Palme d'Or for the first time.
At this time, it will be even more difficult to find him for filming.
Many producers thought that Jin Qixuan would pursue the victory and continue to compete on the big screen.
So that he can achieve the achievement of a Grand Slam Best Actor.
Chungmulu actor is the dream of all Peninsula actors.
As for actors who are already on Chungmuro Road, they naturally aim to win Grand Slam Best Actor and Best Actress.
And after winning the Grand Slam, there are more routes.
You can compete in the international film industry and take your career as an actor to the extreme.
You can also join the Film Association and take the zz route, or you can change your career to become a director.
Today, Jin Qixuan has been recognized by the Blue Dragon Award and the Daejong Award, and is only one Baeksang Arts Award away from the Grand Slam.
Coupled with the news of marrying Li Zhien next year, fans and passers-by subconsciously believe that Jin Qixuan will focus on movies in recent years.
However, no one expected it.
Jin Qixuan actually turned around and started filming an online drama? !
You know, the filming cycle of TV series is long and tiring!
It can take as long as one year, or as short as half a year.
With this time, I can shoot at least two movies! But when I think of Jin Qixuan’s vision in selecting scripts...
Could it be said that online dramas are about to rise?
For a time, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet.
"It's okay, it's okay, just keep acting..."
"First-class platform Netflix + first-class director Huang Donghyuk + first-class actor Jin Qixuan, it seems to be a pretty good combination."
"Jin Qixuan stopped acting in movies and went to TV dramas?"
"It doesn't matter what he does, he can still act. I almost thought he changed his career to become a variety show PD!"
"From movies When it comes to TV dramas, is Jin Qixuan’s choice a rise in the market or a fall in artistry? ”
"No, this drama is called "Squid Game"? What is it about, fighting with a giant squid?"
"The giant squid has become a spirit?"
"Hahaha, you are upstairs Are you going to laugh me to death? That’s a childhood game from the 1980s!”
"Jin Qixuan is going to act in a TV series again after three years? Ye Qing is back!"
"A salary of 300 million per episode!? Is this the highest single-episode salary among male actors?"
"Netflix is really willing to spend money, and it deserves to be the world's number one streaming media."
"Jin Qixuan's net worth is too scary."
"Chung Mulu actor has also started to lose money?"
"It's not just bad money, his salary is not as high as the Zenith era. It’s a lot of money (dog head)”
"..."
There are different opinions on the Internet about Jin Qixuan's appearance in the web drama.
Some people were surprised that Jin Qixuan appeared in a web drama, while others lamented that Jin Qixuan's salary was high.
There were also those who scoffed at this and said that Jin Qixuan had fallen.
At the same time, Shin Yuanho called Jin Qixuan as soon as he learned that he was starring in the web drama.
Jin Qixuan hesitated for a long time, but did not dare to answer...
After all, he originally rejected the invitation from Bole to star in "The Life of a Witty Doctor".
And now, he actually turned around and took on another drama?
Although Jin Qixuan had a last resort, he still felt a little embarrassed...
Just when Jin Qixuan was hesitating whether to reply to Shen Yuanhao, writer Li Youjing called again.
"Nuna, I was doing an event at the Bulgari pop-up store. I didn't see it just now..."
As soon as the call was connected, Jin Qixuan immediately explained.
"You accepted "Squid Game"?"
"Yeah."
"Why not accept "The Life of a Witty Doctor"? Is it because of the salary?"
"Huh?"
"TVN can't give you such a big salary, so you acted in "Squid Game"?"
"No, no! It has nothing to do with the salary!"
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Jin Qixuan quickly explained: "Because the filming of the drama will not start until the second half of next year. As for the first half of the year..."
"In the first half of the year, I will hold a wedding with IU, right?
“Yes. ”
Hearing this, Li Youjing smiled and said:
"You are quite careful and know that you put off all your work before getting married." No time for a wedding...
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Do you need my help for your wedding?"
Jin Qixuan thought for a while and said:
"It's nothing for the time being. I wish you both could come. ”
"Have you found the master of ceremonies?"
"Well, I invited senior Liu Zaishi."
"Hey, you two are pretty respectable~"
"Hey~"
"Okay, then I wish you a smooth wedding and don't forget to send us invitations."
"Definitely."
After hanging up the phone, Jin Qixuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the call was answered, otherwise he wouldn’t be sending photos of Christmas with Li Zhien tonight...
That night, after attending Bulgari’s Christmas in Cheongdam-dong After the marketing event, Jin Qixuan went home to prepare for Christmas with Li Zhien.
Although the two are about to enter the palace of marriage, they still need to have the proper sense of ceremony.
She didn't have a concert today. She made an announcement during the day and went shopping with Yoo In Na.
When Jin Qixuan arrived home with the Christmas gift from the brand, the two of them were sitting cross-legged under the Christmas tree, opening the gifts.
"You're back~"
After seeing Jin Qixuan, Li Zhien immediately waved to him with a smile and said:
"Come on, Ernie gives me a lot of gifts!"
Looking at the gifts on the floor, Jin Qixuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
This is not a gift. Is this a shopping mall moved?
“Nu Na is coming.”
Complaints are complaints, but greetings cannot be avoided.
“Ang~I’m here to spend her last single Christmas with her today.”
“Then there’s no need to give so much, right?”
As he said that, Jin Qixuan picked up a couple's sweater, gestured to himself, and asked:
"Is it the wrong size?"
"This is what Ernie and I are wearing. ”
"..."
So, am I the redundant person?
Seeing Jin Qixuan looking at her with a resentful look, Yoo In Na couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, then took out the J.estina jewelry box, handed it to Li Zhien, and said:
"This is..."
Halfway through her words, Yoo In Na suddenly noticed the jewelry box that Jin Qixuan took out from his trouser pocket.
For a while, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became awkward.
Looking down at the jewelry box in her hand, and then at the jewelry box in Jin Qixuan's hand, Yoo In Na immediately smiled and said:
"It seems that the gift I gave is a bit redundant."
Seeing this, Li Zhien quickly said:
"It's not unnecessary. The meanings of the gifts from you two are different. I like them both!"
As she said that, she took the jewelry box.
Seeing that all the gifts were given out, Yoo In Na was also ready to leave.
"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore, I'm going back."
"Nu Na, let's spend Christmas together, you will be so lonely when you go back by yourself."
Jin Qixuan pretended said.
Hearing this, Yoo In Na paused, smiled, and said:
"Okay."
"..."
"Haha, I'm just teasing you."
Looking at Jin Qixuan's deflated appearance, Yoo In Na smiled and waved her hand, then took the car keys and left.
To be honest, she really doesn’t want to be a light bulb right now...
"Nur, let's go slowly!"
After seeing off Yoo In Na, the two went upstairs to exchange gifts.
Jin Qixuan gave her a B.zero1 series necklace from Bulgari, and Li Zhien gave him a Hermès belt.
Immediately, both of them put it on and tried it.
"Is it beautiful?"
Li Zhien, who put on the necklace, asked Jin Qixuan.
"Beautiful."
Jin Qixuan nodded and said sincerely: "Very beautiful."
"Hehe~"
After receiving the compliment, Li Zhien turned around happily and asked:
"Then who is more beautiful, me or the necklace?"
"There is no comparison, the necklace is because of you The necklace is worthless if you don’t wear it.”
In response to Jin Qixuan's answer, Li Zhien smiled like a flower, then stood up on tiptoes and kissed him lightly on the lips.
After a kiss.
At Li Zhien’s request, the two took several photos and then posted them on Instagram.
What Jin Qixuan posted here was a solo photo of Li Zhien.
Li Zhien also posted a solo photo of Jin Qixuan.
The two of them acted exactly the same. Although the dog food arrived late, it arrived.
