Chapter 400 The Wedding Banquet Ended
With Yoo Jae Suk and Park Kyung Rim joining in, Kim Jong Kook took the microphone and walked to the center of the stage.
The song Lao Jin is going to sing is "Pleasing".
The meaning of choosing this song is that Jin Qixuan is getting married to a very cute lady. It is by no means the only popular song he has.
However, in terms of appearance, Xiao Li is not among the top ones.
But when it comes to cuteness, she is definitely one of a kind.
Otherwise, the title "National Sister" would not have existed back then.
Looking at it this way, this song can be considered suitable for the occasion...
Amidst the applause, Kim Jong Kook took the microphone and slowly stood up from his seat.
After taking the stage, he first said a few words of congratulations to the two newcomers, and then began to sing a cappella.
As for why he sang a cappella first, it was just to show off his skills.
Although the lyrics of the song "Pleasing" have nothing to do with the wedding scene, with the support of Kim Jong Kook's powerful singing skills, it sounds extremely pleasant.
Needless to say, even though Lao Jin is already in his forties this year, there is still no sense of disobedience when singing such a sweet song.
After a dazzling chorus was sung a cappella, cheerful accompaniment sounded, and the atmosphere of the scene was ignited.
The young couple held hands and swayed in the air. The guests in the audience were either beating the beat or humming along. The scene was extremely lively.
"She is so cute from head to toe"
"..."
"Even the shadow and back..."
When the song reached its climax, Lao Jin suddenly walked up to Jin Qixuan and handed over the microphone.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly opened his mouth and said, "They are all so cute wow~".
“Falling in love with waiting, even the air is sweet, that’s how I am...”
Then, Kim Jong Kook sang the first half, and then handed the microphone to Lee Ji Eun.
"Salanghei~"
Compared with Jin Qixuan's unprepared singing of some out-of-tune passages, Li Zhien was obviously well prepared, and his voice was sweet and sweet, and even Jin Qixuan comes to wink and tease him.
"Wow, even though I've heard it many times, it still feels like his vocal tract is pinched by muscles..."
Hearing Yoo Jae-seok muttering in a low voice made Park Kyung-rim next to him laugh and said:
“I remember, Zhong Guo also sang the song at your wedding, right?”
"More than that, he has sung too many wedding songs."
"By the way, if he gets married, what will the effect be if Zhien sings it?"
"I wonder. Think about it.”
"..."
While the two hosts were chatting, the song sung in the center of the stage was coming to an end.
After the singing, Kim Jong Kook hugged the two juniors respectively. When he was about to leave the stage, he was stopped by Yoo Jae Suk.
"Jong Kook, don't step down yet, we have to take a group photo."
After Yoo Jae Suk finished speaking, Park Kyung Rin continued:
"While our beautiful bride is still wearing her beautiful clothes, Wedding dress, if you want to take photos, please go to both sides of the stage to prepare.”
"The two newlyweds stood in the middle, their parents stood on both sides, and the best man and bridesmaid stood behind..."
After changing positions, the on-site photographer began to take pictures.
“1.2.3!”
"Click!"
"Okay, let's change to the next group."
Under the command of Yoo Jae-seok and Park Kyung-rim, as the guests walked onto the stage one by one, the stage that was relatively empty just now became It became crowded.
Since there are so many guests, we definitely can’t shoot in groups of three or two. Basically, we have to shoot with 10 to 20 people.
For example, some guests who are less famous, have lower seniority and have passed the event consciously stood in the last row, giving up the most exposed position.
When taking a group photo, Li Zhien naturally took Jin Qixuan's arm and leaned slightly towards her husband.
The two hosts were not idle either, holding the microphone and talking about the scene.
After forty minutes, the group photo was taken, and the guests chatted with their acquaintances.
Like ambitious artists, they also seize the time to expand their connections at this time.
Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien went to the hotel room to change their clothes and prepared to return to the banquet to toast.
Actually, after the group photo, there are quite a few performances planned by the director.
But after seeing that people were not very interested in these, the director changed the program to a band performance.
Accompanied by beautiful and soothing music, Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien took the best man and bridesmaid to toast.
The first ones were naturally the parents at the head table.
If the elderly cannot drink alcohol, they can use tea or warm water instead.
Jin Qixuan directly predicted the topics these people wanted to ask and said in advance: "As for the children, let's do it as soon as possible!"
"Okay, okay~"
The old people smiled happily and packed the cash The red envelope was handed over.
After all the relatives had toasted at the tables, Jin Qixuan was already dying, and the rest of the toasts had to be done by the best men.
Even if it’s a drunkard, Pu Baojian, he still has to offer a few toasts.
It’s just that the circles that these three people value are different.
For example, Li Donghui pays attention to the future development of senior actors and directors in the industry.
Park Bo Gum pays more attention to the fashion world and the spiritual pursuits of professors.
Nam Joo Hyuk focuses on practical connections with brand representatives and TV station executives.
As for the seats, they are not so strictly divided according to class.
After all, there are many fierce competitors among colleagues in the industry, or there may be subtle discord, or there may be ex-boyfriends and girlfriends. It would be awkward if they were placed at the same table.
For example, if you let the representative from CJ sit at the same table as the representative from Kakao, it would be strange.
And those management representatives are not above sitting with actors and idols.
For example, Cui Zaiyuan, the representative of Warner Bros. Peninsula Division, is pulling Huang Zhengmin and not letting go, just like he was "chasing" Jin Qixuan...
Cui Zaiyuan's purpose in finding Huang Zhengmin is actually very simple. , just wanted to make a movie with him.
Originally, Cui Zaiyuan wanted to find the groom to continue cooperating with him. Last year, "When Men Fall in Love" starring him directly broke the box office record produced by Warner Division.
When you have money, you naturally want to collect good books.
Some time ago, he went to China to buy the remake rights of Andy Lau's "Rescue Mr. Wu".
As a result, when he was excitedly preparing to cooperate with Jin Qixuan for the second time with a new script, he was told by him that he would not make a movie this year and would spend time with his wife...
At that time, Cui Zaiyuan's mentality almost collapsed, and he felt like a dog licking him. Finally, the feeling of having nothing.
At that time, Jin Qixuan had just finished filming "Light and Shadow" with Huang Zhengmin and others, and then he recommended him to Choi Jae-won.
The latter thought about it and felt that Huang Zhengmin was very suitable.
On the one hand, he is the only actor in the peninsula today who has never acted in a bad movie and has box office appeal.
On the other hand, Huang Zhengmin will accept any script whether it is a small-budget project or a large-scale production, and he has a very good reputation in the industry as long as the script is suitable.
Moreover, he is also known as the box office guarantee of the "new troika" together with Lee Byung-hun and Ha Jung-woo.
As for why Choi Jae-won didn't find the other two...
Lee Byung-hun is now backed by KakaoM, which is a competing company with Warner, and he has constant film appointments, so he can't come. As for Ha Jung Woo, to be honest, as an investor, Choi Jae Won is not very optimistic about Ha Jung Woo's box office appeal.
Although "Yellow Sea" starring him and Kim Yun-seok won awards, the box office results were not ideal.
The hit "War on Crime: The Heyday of the Bad Guys" Choi Jae-won is even more believed to be the work of Choi Min-sik.
As for the "Along with the Gods" series, he felt that it was the freshness of the special effects and themes that made it so popular, and the first one was completely Cha Tae-hyun's solo show...
If you just look at Ha Jung-woo's box office performance alone, In terms of performance, the results of "Berlin" and "Tunnel" can only be regarded as small profits. "Horror Live" is good, and it can be regarded as a classic success story of making large profits with a small cost.
But the key is that there are not many bad movies starring Ha Jung Woo.
He directed and starred in "Xu Sanguan's Story of a Blood Seller," which he bought the rights to from China, but the box office did not even exceed 1 million moviegoers.
To sum up, Ha Jung-woo has very good acting skills, but his box office appeal depends on his fate...
So, if Warner wants to make the "Deliverance" movie based on real events, "Mr. Myself", apart from Jin Qixuan, Huang Zhengmin must be the first choice.
If Huang Zhengmin refuses, he also has alternatives.
Looking for Xue Jingqiu, his starring role in "That Guy's Voice" was also adapted from real events, and he also acted in the crime film "The Don't Sweat Party", so he is qualified for the role of my husband.
If these two do not come, Cui Zaiyuan decided to boldly use an actress as the protagonist.
As for why a man's drama would consider switching to a heroine...
The market in Peninsula has already changed.
Those traditional action scenes have long been out of favor, but female themes are very popular.
For example, "Hotel Del Luna" starring Lee Ji-eun, "Juvenile Court" starring Kim Hye-soo, and "Anna" starring Bae Suzy are all female-dominated dramas with female protagonists.
The same goes for movies.
Such as "The Witch", "Determination to Break Up", "Extreme Escape", etc.
However, if neither Huang Zhengmin nor Xue Jingqiu acted, the script would have to be significantly changed, and the plot would also be from a female perspective. He was afraid that the adaptation would not be good and the good script in his hand would be ruined.
After all, Peninsula is not like China. The good screenwriters and directors here are all integrated, and those full-time screenwriters are simply writers. Good books are adapted from novels, comics, and real events. Or they purchase the copyrights of other countries and adapt them locally.
The only original and globally popular book written by Peninsula Screenwriters is "Parasite" in recent years...
However, in the final analysis, if Huang Zhengmin agrees to star, the above alternatives are all nonsense.
Cui Zaiyuan thought very simply. If Huang Zhengmin didn't agree, he would become "Tanglang".
Anyway, he is thick-skinned...
Just when Cui Zaiyuan was holding Huang Zhengmin talking, Li Zhien was already holding Jin Qixuan's arm and came to the table with six groomsmen and bridesmaids to toast.
Seeing Jin Qixuan's arrival interrupting his spellcasting, Cui Zaiyuan had an idea and decided to make use of this "tool man".
"Qixuan, Zhien, happy wedding, may we be together for a hundred years."
"Thank you Representative Cui nim."
Jin Qixuan had a drink with him.
Not to mention anything else, just the 200 million won red envelope he gave the young couple at the "When a Man Loves" celebration party, this glass of wine must be drunk personally.
"What do you call me representative? I call you brother."
Cui Zaiyuan pretended to be angry.
“Uh, Brother Zaiyuan...”
"That's right~"
This is what Cui Zaiyuan wants. Only when the relationship is close can he speak.
"Help me persuade this guy."
As he spoke, Cui Zaiyuan raised his chin towards Huang Zhengmin, whose face was glowing red.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan walked up to Huang Zhengmin with a wine glass and said:
"Senior, this book is very good. If time didn't allow it, I would definitely take it. That's why I recommend you. , if it wasn’t too much of an adaptation, it would definitely win an award, just play it, senior.”
"Yes, senior, the book is really good."
Li Zhien also advised him at this time.
Although she has not even read the book, Jin Qixuan said yes, then it must be good, the main focus is a husband singing and a wife~
"Hmm..."
Huang Zhengmin hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go back and discuss it with my lover."
Actually, Huang Zhengmin read the book and thought it was good.
As Jin Qixuan said, as long as it is not overly adapted, it is really not difficult to win awards.
But the problem is that after buying the copyright and adapting it, there are too many scripts that are not adapted to the local environment.
Besides, the remake of the movie will definitely be compared with the original version.
For an actor who cherishes feathers like Huang Zhengmin, even if the chance of overturning is 1%, he doesn't want to gamble...
That's why he has been hesitant.
But now that Jin Qixuan has personally come to persuade him, he is indeed a little shaken. However, he has to go back and discuss with his wife whether to accept the offer or not.
If his wife agrees, he will take it!
Huang Zhengmin is a well-known strict wife in the industry.
Moreover, he is the best in strict wife control...
Seeing Huang Zhengmin relent, Cui Zaiyuan was overjoyed. He turned to his assistant and said:
"Go and get the two bottles of red wine from my trunk!"
"Yes!"
"..."
After toasting at this table, then the next table...the next table...
When it came to Xue Jingqiu, Jin Qixuan had no choice but to ask Li Donghui to help replace the wine.
Xue Jingqiu didn't mind at all. He knew that Jin Qixuan had a bad drinking ability.
Actually, toasting is really a physical activity.
Everyone attending the wedding today is a high-profile person. You cannot only honor one person at a table, and then go directly to the next table after paying respects.
After half a lap, eight people were really exhausted.
Li Zhien is strong. He knows that today is his big day, and he must grit his teeth and pay tribute to all the guests.
In this way, table after table were paying respects. It was not until the group arrived at the guest area invited by Li Zhien that they felt relieved.
People of the same generation don't have so many opinions, and they mainly follow one's own whims.
The younger generation is even less stressed...
However, it is not that they have not encountered hard problems.
An alcoholic like Zheng Eunji would punish himself with three drinks for no apparent reason, calling it "Happy Wedding".
Jin Qixuan didn't know whether he was happy or not. He only knew that he would collapse after two more drinks...
Fortunately, she was the only female drunkard.
Young girls like Kang Han Na, Kim Ji Won, Lee Sun Bin, and idol juniors are afraid of their faces getting swollen after drinking, but they all get over it in a flash.
Finally, after completing a large circle of worship, the eight people were able to take a short rest.
Then the young couple came on stage and expressed some thanks for everyone's arrival, and then sent the guests off respectfully.
When leaving, guests can receive a small bag from the door.
It contains greeting cards handmade by Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien, as well as some candies and chocolates.
There are not many things, but the best is the thought.
