Chapter 410 Don’t go into the kitchen again
At eight o’clock in the evening, the online script reading meeting of "Squid Game" ended.
The whole journey takes six hours, with three breaks.
When it was over, Jin Qixuan felt like his head was going to explode.
Although he talks to Lee Ji Eun about Gong Liu, in fact, when he plays with Gong Liu, he needs to be highly concentrated in order to distinguish whether he is reciting lines or performing improvisation.
If he hadn’t understood the character of “Sung Ki-hoon” well enough, he might have been led astray by Kong Yoo’s “thousand-layer routine”.
Especially in "non-physical" performances such as online script readings.
It can be said that these short six hours were more tiring than the four times he was squeezed by Li Zhien.
Tired and tiring, but the rewards are obvious.
Not to mention anything else, just saying that his understanding of the character "Cheng Qixun" and his familiarity with the script have improved a lot.
He even had a deeper understanding of certain plots.
Of course, the most "miserable" one has to be Huang Donghyuk.
Not only did the two of them make witty remarks throughout the whole process, but he also judged whether the script was reasonable every time the two of them "improvised".
It can be said that I am a father and a mother at the same time.
After it was over, Jin Qixuan lay on the sofa with his body stretched out in a "big" shape.
Li Zhien walked slowly and slowly from the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit with a smile on his face.
“Baby, come, eat some fruit~”
Being courteous for nothing is either adultery or theft.
Jin Qixuan glanced at her and didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing that Jin Qixuan was silent, Li Zhien picked up a piece of apple and handed it to his mouth.
"How is it? Is it sweet?"
Seeing him eating it, Li Zhien said with a smile.
"Sweet..."
"Then eat this piece too, and this piece..."
After half of the plate of fruit had gone down, Li Zhien saw that the time was ripe, his eyes moved and he was charming, and said: "Honey, it's getting late, it's time to hand in your homework~"
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan was about to take the fruit in his mouth She spat out the fruit and covered her mouth with her hands.
“Yeah! Eat it quickly and spit it out, it’s a waste...”
Li Zhien glared at him with feigned anger.
Having no choice but to chew the apple with a grimace, Jin Qixuan felt like he had been cheated.
He knew that this woman had no good intentions!
Then, Li Zhien turned over and sat on him.
As the saying goes, cannibalism is the shortest, but the necessary struggle still requires a few symbolic moments.
“Zhien, don’t you think we are too dissolute?”
"Is there any?"
Li Zhien blinked and reached out to touch his chest, with an innocent look on his face: "It shouldn't count. After all, food and sex are the same. This is a normal physiological need for people~"
“……”
Whose good woman compares "excessive debauchery" with "normal physiological needs"!
Also quote "Mencius"?
The sages knew that their words were used in this way, and they were very angry!
Looking at Jin Qixuan's hesitant expression, Li Zhien's lips slightly raised. Then, she gently snuggled up next to him, gently wrapped her hands around his neck, and whispered:
"Although we are married, But our profession destined us not to enjoy the day and night of ordinary partners..."
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Even if their careers don't overlap, once they get busy, they don't see each other as often as a couple in a long-distance relationship.
“So, I can only ask for your warmth within a limited time to make up for the blank time.”
“I know, this may be a big deal for you. burden, but...please bear with me.”
"..."
Jin Qixuan thought she would say some love words, but ended up making a fuss for a long time, just playing "retreat in order to advance" with him.
Please bear with me...
But the atmosphere had reached this point, and Jin Qixuan had no other choice.
"What you said is true..."
Seeing this, Li Zhien didn't like to say anything, and directly blocked his words with her soft lips.
After a heated exchange of words, Jin Qixuan surrendered.
“We agreed, just once.”
“Hey, okay~”
...
The next day, when Jin Qixuan woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Sure enough, people can't be idle.
Otherwise, once you engage in any "bed pleasure" activities, you will easily become greedy and have no control.
We agreed last night, but ended up struggling in the middle of the night.
Hearing the noise coming from outside, Li Zhien, who was wearing an apron, poked his head out of the kitchen and said with a smile:
"Wake up, are you hungry? I've cooked!"
"Hmm...huh? Have you cooked?"
"Yes, I want to reward myself with making something to eat. Husband~"
"Didn't the kitchen explode?"
"What!"
Li Zhien's eyes widened and he raised his pink fist in the air in feigned anger.
"Wash up quickly and then eat!"
"Oh..."
After a while, Jin Qixuan came to the dining table and sat down at the dining table with hesitation.
However, when he saw the "lavish meal" on the dining table, his pupils trembled.
Except for the regular plates of pickles, the presentation of the other main dishes is hard to describe.
“Try it and see.”
Facing Li Zhien's expectant gaze, Jin Qixuan picked up the spoon and took a sip of kelp soup.
"This soup..."
"How is it?"
"Why is it a little sour? Is the kelp spoiled?"
"No, I added vinegar."
"Why do you put vinegar in kelp soup?"
"I thought the condiment bottle was soy sauce."
"..."
Looking around, Jin Qixuan picked up an omelette that looked the best in comparison.
After one sip, his expression instantly froze.
"How is it? Isn't it delicious?"
Jin Qixuan forced a smile: "Maybe I'm sick and can't taste the food."
"No taste?"
Li Zhien picked it up suspiciously and took a bite, then suddenly realized:
"Oops, I forgot to add salt."
Sure enough, if God opens a door for you, he will definitely close a window for you.
Jin Qixuan struggled with the words for a long time, and slowly said:
"My wife, you are far away from the kitchen. Your hands are not meant to be dipped in spring water. Please don't cook in the future."
"I'm sorry, I originally wanted to make something delicious, but..."
Seeing this, Li Zhien lowered his head with some remorse.
“It’s harmful, what’s the point? There are specialties in the art industry, but my wife’s fingers are so beautiful that I would feel bad if she got burned with oil and got something wrong.”
Jin Qixuan comforted her and put a piece of kimchi on top of her fried eggs.
It’s okay to eat like this, at least it tastes good. "But, will I not be a good wife and mother?"
Li Zhien put his chin on his hands and said a little disappointed.
"You...are pregnant?"
No wonder, no wonder!
Jin Qixuan suddenly realized.
She is cooking and yet so gentle, looking like a good wife and mother!
Thinking of this, Jin Qixuan could not help but feel happy!
"No..."
Li Zhien was a little dumbfounded: "It was just out of emotion."
"I was shocked."
Jin Qixuan rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"You are a stubborn old man, aren't you? In this era, you are not a 'good wife' or a 'good mother'. You are an independent woman, not those husbands in ancient times." As a traditional woman raising children, you have to take a flowery path, not the narrow path of being a housewife."
"Besides, look at those people who are called good wives and good mothers. , in the end, how many people are really happy? Some are just a pile of chicken feathers and countless sadness.”
Li Zhien thought for a while and retorted:
"But... don't they always say that behind a successful man, there is often a woman who works silently?"
"Great things come from ancient times. Those who do not only have extraordinary talents, but also must have perseverance. ”
"For example, the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, Wang Yangming realized Taoism in Longchang, Newton discovered gravity, and Edison invented the electric light. The success of these people did not depend on women."
"If we take history as a guide, those who can be called successful are You must open up a world in a certain field. If you can’t even control your own life, how can you talk about success?”
“For successful people, this kind of silent dedication is not worth it. Promoted. Everyone is an independent individual, and love should be a mutual achievement, rather than a heavy chain that binds each other's lives. ”
"I understand your beautiful scenery in front of the stage, and I also understand your weakness behind the scenes as you lick your wounds alone. You know that I am glorious in front of others, but you also know that I am as humble as dust in private. This is enough."
"I... …”
Li Zhien was speechless and remained silent for a long time.
She just wanted to chat, but she didn't expect this guy to actually start a class with her!
Seeing the stunned look on his wife's face, Jin Qixuan coughed lightly and said:
"I am afraid that you will be affected by the feudal poison..."
In fact, the situation of Korean women is similar to that of Sakura women. As vassals of men, most of them will work as full-time wives at home after marriage.
However, the difference is that Korean women mostly have to be full-time wives because they are eliminated from the market and have to take care of their children.
Not just ordinary people, artists are the same.
Since getting married, Li Zhien's career has indeed been affected a lot.
For example, she has developed a variety of film and television routes.
I won’t be able to get roles like Zhang Manyue’s in the future.
After all, she is now a wife, and some aspects of her personality have completely collapsed, and her acting career has become very narrow.
Moreover, the sales of albums, peripherals, etc. are also not as good as before. Coupled with the encouragement of her elders, this gave her the idea of being a good wife and mother like Kim Tae Hee.
Therefore, Jin Qixuan has been instilling in her the concept of "independent women" and wants her to become Niu Hulu Zhien.
"I know, my husband is really knowledgeable. He quotes scriptures and provides examples. I originally just wanted to have a simple chat with you, but you actually said so many great truths. I am really impressed by them~"
Li Zhien pursed his lips in a strange manner.
"Well, we are husband and wife. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. I am knowledgeable, and you will be proud of it."
As Jin Qixuan spoke, he quietly pushed the "delicious food" on the table towards her.
Seeing this, Li Zhien's eyes widened and he saw through his trick.
“Huh, you said so much, but you just don’t want to eat the food I cook!”
"No way!"
Jin Qixuan picked up the bowl and used chopsticks to pick it into his mouth frantically.
“Don’t just eat, eat some food!”
With that said, Li Zhien "thoughtfully" gave Jin Qixuan a piece of food.
“…”
Jin Qixuan hesitated to speak, but finally chose to keep his mouth shut.
Just eat it, it doesn’t mean you can’t eat it.
If it doesn’t work, just vomit.
After breakfast and lunch, the two of them sat on the sofa and took a nap.
Today's online script reading meeting for "Squid Game" is still at 2 p.m.
According to Huang Donghyuk, during the epidemic, if everyone is fine, they can always read the script online.
In this way, when the epidemic situation completely improves and we can start filming, we can almost start filming directly.
Naturally, others have no objections to this proposal.
After all, under today's circumstances, no one can say what will happen in the future.
Maybe you are from Xiaoyang today, and I will be from Xiaoyang tomorrow.
Therefore, everyone can only try it online first.
Just as Jin Qixuan was comfortably resting his head on Li Zhien, who was reading a book, the phone suddenly rang.
Hearing the sound, Li Zhien glanced at the mobile phone on the coffee table and pushed Jin Qixuan on his lap.
Jin Qixuan climbed up from his wife's lap with difficulty and picked up his mobile phone from the coffee table.
"Oh? Uncle Cake?"
Seeing the caller ID, Jin Qixuan quickly sat up and answered the phone.
"Senior, good afternoon."
"Well, what are you doing?"
Song Kanghao's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I just finished lunch and am taking a rest. Do you have enough food left at home, senior? Do you want me to give you some?"
"No, it's not that you can't go out."
Song Kanghao smiled , said: "Are you going to Cannes this year?"
"Uh, let's not go. Are you going, senior?"
Jin Qixuan is no longer in a situation where he has to have a work shortlisted in order to attend Cannes.
Of course, this is related to the changing times.
In the past, those who still attended the red carpet of Cannes without any works were all the leading figures in the film industry.
Nowadays, as long as you have traffic, even if you are an Internet celebrity, you can be invited to the Cannes red carpet.
However, the treatment is naturally different.
For shortlisted works, including jury members, the organizer will not only arrange accommodation for at least one week, but will also reimburse travel expenses, provide special transportation, and be invited to participate in a salon held at the Palais des Festivals.
If you don’t have any works and just show your face on the red carpet, the Cannes organizers will not arrange accommodation for you.
Like the humanoid advertisements sent by various luxury brands, the expenses for travel and accommodation are covered by the sponsor.
As for Internet celebrities, all expenses must be paid by themselves.
If Jin Qixuan goes, the organizer will definitely arrange accommodation, and he will also walk on the red carpet of the main competition unit.
However, even so, Jin Qixuan will not go.
This trip together with the time spent attending the film festival was almost a month wasted.
And there is still an epidemic raging, and masks are not worn there. It would not be good if I went there and confessed there.
"Well, this year I was invited to serve as a member of the competition unit jury, so I wanted to ask you if you can go."
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan thought for a moment and advised:
"Senior, I know that this is a great honor for you, and I also know that you have always wanted to expand the influence of Peninsula Film in the world of film. , But, a gentleman doesn’t stand behind a dangerous wall. Anyway, I think the West’s epidemic prevention and control is just like playing tricks. Who knows what you will be infected with.”
“Haha, It warms my heart to hear that you care about it, but don't worry, I will pay attention. This year's film festival has been postponed to June. I will go there in advance, and then stay in retreat for two weeks, and then come out when the film festival is about to start. By then, it is estimated that the epidemic will be much better.”
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan didn't say anything more.
Who is Song Kanghao?
Can he not understand the stakes here?
Since he dares to go, he has his reasons.
There is no need for me to keep nagging like an old lady.
After saying that, Song Kanghao remembered something again and continued:
"By the way, I've received a new script here. I think there's a character in it that's quite suitable for you and your wife. Do you want to give it a try?"
