Chapter 157: Scarlet Heart Ryeo Premiere
"So who is she?"
Kim Jong Kook asked, shaking his stockings.
Jin Qixuan stepped forward, grabbed the stockings and stuffed them into the box, closed the lid, and said:
"Does it matter who it is? Isn't this all a thing of the past?"
"You're pretty tight-lipped."
As he spoke, Kim Jong Kook took out his cell phone, shook it and said, "But other people's mouths may not be very tight."
"well……"
Jin Qixuan sighed, raised his hand to press down the phone in Jin Zhongguo's hand, and said, "I say, don't disturb others' rest at night."
Kim Jong Kook looked at Kim Ki Hyun with interest and asked, "Who?"
"Jin Yarong."
"Jin...Ya...Rong?"
Kim Jong Kook squinted his eyes and repeated it, then clapped his hands and said:
"Ah! It's Yura!"
Jin Qixuan nodded silently.
"I remember she had a good personality, quite likeable. Her laugh was also very funny. How did you break up?"
"Because... we are both people who cannot give up our careers because of love."
Seeing that Jin Qixuan's mood suddenly became low, Jin Zhongguo raised his hand and rubbed his hair, and comforted him:
"I think it's quite decent for you to break up quietly like this. At least when you occasionally recall each other, it's all beautiful memories instead of holding grudges against each other."
"Well... I hope her acting career will get better and better in the future." (It would be even better if she could come to Central School for graduate studies...) "Right, that's more like it! But when did you two start dating?"
"It's only been the second month since you went to China to develop."
Kim Jong Kook paused while rubbing his head, then twitched and said unhappily:
"So you ignored my words, didn't you? Was the final result the same as what I said?"
What can Jin Qixuan say in this situation? Just shut up and listen to him nagging.
If Jin Qixuan didn't say anything and just listened obediently, he would just nag and educate him, using big principles to explain small principles, making Jin Qixuan suffer mental attacks.
If Jin Qixuan took a break while he was talking, he could even avoid the mental attack from Jin Zhongguo...
If Jin Qixuan disagreed with his words and talked back, then Jin Qixuan would suffer mixed physical and mental real damage...
The sermon lasted for half an hour.
There was suddenly no sound in his ears, and Jin Qixuan's thoughts, which were wandering in the universe, suddenly floated back.
Seeing Kim Jong Kook staring at him with sharp eyes, Jin Qixuan knew that he was not finished talking, but was thirsty...
Therefore, Jin Qixuan hurriedly stood up, poured a glass of water, and handed it over respectfully.
Seeing this, Kim Jong Kook took the cup of water and drank it all.
Then, put down the glass.
He was about to continue, but when the clock struck twelve, he changed his words: "Let's stop here today. I hope you can remember what I said in the future. These are my experiences as a person who has been through it all, which will help you avoid detours."
Jin Qixuan also knew that today's lecture was over, so he quickly raised his hand and swore, saying:
"Uncle, I will write down what you said in a memo and read it at least three times a day! When I have more records, I will compile them into a book and make it our family tradition!"
"Yeah, you kid."
Obviously, Kim Jong Kook was very satisfied with what Kim Ki-hyeon said.
In the end, the things that Jin Qixuan wanted to throw away were still taken away by Jin Zhongguo...
The next day, Jin Qixuan went to the "Goblin" crew to attend the opening ceremony.
On the way, the assistant told Jin Qixuan that he was on the trending search.
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan was still a little confused.
I don't think I've done anything out of the ordinary recently, right? When I picked up my phone and looked at it, it turned out to be the first episode of "Scarlet Heart Ryeo" that was aired last night.
The surprise cameo of Jin Qixuan, who did not appear in the trailer or poster, revived the CP fans of [Cindy & Agent] who had been dormant for a year...
The first scene in the TV show is Hae Soo, played by Lee Ji-eun, drinking alone on the bridge, looking miserable. Then she meets a homeless man, played by Kim Sung-kyun, who asks her for some wine.
Even though she was being chased by debt collectors, she still handed the wine to the homeless man.
Then, taking advantage of being a little tipsy, she told the tramp everything she had experienced.
At this time, a flashback scene appeared in the camera.
First, Kim Ki-hyun appeared, holding hands with Lee Ji-eun in the coffee shop, saying sweet words to each other.
The scene of sweet pink bubbles lasted for nearly forty seconds, and then the scene changed.
Jin Qixuan held another girl in his arms, saying the same sweet words as Li Zhien, coaxing the girl's body into twists and turns...
When Lee Ji-eun saw this scene, she was furious. When she was about to tear Kim Ki-hyeon apart, she suddenly received a debt message on her phone.
At this time, Jin Qixuan in the sports car had already driven away.
"He actually used my money to pick up girls..."
There are only so many shots of Jin Qixuan's cameo appearance in the film, which only add up to two minutes in total, and are all played in the form of flashbacks.
There are nearly ten seconds of footage afterwards showing Lee Ji-eun looking miserable because of the debt collectors.
However, in order to add a little easter egg of Lee Ji-eun beating up Kim Ki-hyun in the last episode, the screenwriter said something from her heart (obsession) when Hae Soo was dying in the lake: "It's really a big regret in life that I didn't get to beat up Kim Ki-hyun and died like this..."
And when the first episode ended, the show failed to adapt to the local climate, just as the screenwriter had expected.
This problem of not being able to adapt to the local climate is mainly due to the Peninsular people's inherent inferiority complex towards history.
After all, the palace in "Startling by Each Step" is so magnificent and heavily guarded, showing the style of a great country. It makes people understand at a glance what "once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea". It's not like you can escape if you want to.
Compared with the original version, the palace in Scarlet Heart: Ryeo looks like a rural courtyard. The king has only two guards, and even the court meeting has no more than five people...
Therefore, the ratings were just as the screenwriter had guessed, and those who continued to watch were all personal fans of the actors.
The comments online are mostly abusive.
"I understand that we should support newcomers, but can we really support them?"
"IU's acting is all about glaring, Kang Ha's is about trembling his lips, and Bian Baekhyun's is about his silly acting. I'm really impressed. Lee Joon-gi can't lead these newcomers at all..."
"IU's acting style of blowing her beard and glaring in shock is key, but there is no expression or change in her big eyes... If you can't do it, stop acting and just sing, right?"
"IU's profile is really ugly. The director wanted to avoid the camera, so the close-up shots from the front made her acting look even more clumsy. I finally got into the role a little, but she always glared back at me."
…
Since it is a drama that promotes IU, the audience will tend to pick on IU's shortcomings.
And after comparing it with the original version, there are even more complaints.
What about the queen with heavy makeup, the four princes wearing the Shamatte style, Mrs. Jie turning into an old lady, the colorful prince village costumes of the Calabash Brothers version, etc.
As expected, the ratings ranked last in the same time period.
