Chapter 174 I am Han Hyo Joo
December 14th.
The promotional video of "Brave Citizen" was released on CJ's official Facebook page and Naver's website.
The first shot of the trailer: Han Hyo Joo knocks out the hater HAHA with a high kick, and then flicks her hair handsomely with a look of disdain on her face.
In the second shot, Han Hyo Joo transforms into a gentle female teacher, looking back, touching her hair, smiling sweetly and waving.
In the third shot, Han Hyo Joo elbowed Kim Ki-hyeon to interrupt his flying kick in mid-air to bully his classmate, and then turned into a delicate and soft girl, screamed "Ouch", and fell to the ground at the same time as Kim Ki-hyeon.
In the fourth shot, Jin Qixuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled evilly, and stepped hard on the camera.
In the fifth shot, Jin Qixuan blew a breath into the glass of the convenience store, stretched out his hand to draw a weird smiley face on it, and then made expressions synchronized with the smiley face.
There are five main clips in total, plus some miscellaneous clips. The finale is Han Hyo Joo wearing a cat mask, clenching her fists and imitating a cat's meow.
Finally, the screen went black, with subtitles:
【January 18th! 】
["Brave Citizens" is grandly released! ! ! ]
[You will punish bad students together with Han Hyo Joo! ! ! ]
Of course, there are many versions of the trailer, and this first version released is the most exciting one.
When Jin Qixuan was watching this promotional video in the car, he couldn't help but nod and exclaimed, he really looked so handsome in the trailer.
As for Han Hyo Joo's segment, Kim Ki-Hyun naturally skipped it. After all, most actors would watch their own shots first, and Kim Ki-Hyun was no exception.
Then, Jin Qixuan forwarded the video to the five-member group of [Ssangmundong Line].
Afterwards, after thinking about it, Kim Ki-hyeon did not send it to the "Goblin" group chat, but sent it to Gong Yoo and Liu Inna separately, meaning to help promote it.
Afterwards, Lee Ji-eun, HAHA, DO and others inevitably received publicity from Kim Ki-hyun.
Basically, Jin Qixuan sent the promotional video to everyone in the address book list, except for the family group.
It's not anything else, it's mainly because Jin Qixuan is afraid that the older generation will be too absorbed in the drama and beat him up with weapons...
After a while, there was a reply in the [Ssangmundong Line] group.
Li Donghui: [Qixuan, your movie will also be released on the 18th? ]
Jin Qixuan: [Why, "The Help" is also released on the 18th? ]
Lee Dong-hui: [Yes, and the movie "The King" starring Jun-yeol will also be released on the 18th! ]
Jin Qixuan: [Tsk tsk…]
Lee Hyeri: [@Park Bo Gum, Bo Gum Oppa, the movies they starred in are released on the same day, which premiere will you attend? ]
Kim Ki-Hyun: [@Park Bo-Gum]
Lee Dong-hui: [@Park Bo-gum]
Yoo Jun-yeol: [Of course I have to go to Qixuan's premiere. Donghui and I are not the main actors, but Qixuan is the male lead.]
Jin Qixuan: [Look at Liu Ma's enlightenment, @Li Huili, learn from her. ]
Park Bo Gum: [The previews should not be on the same day, right? I went to watch the previews of "The Help" and "The King" first, and on the premiere day I went to watch Qixuan's show.]
Li Donghui: [Baojian, you know how to keep things balanced. ]
Lee Hye-ri: [Tsk, I want to watch The King first]
Yoo Jun-yeol: [@Lee Hye-ri, heart jpg.]
Lee Hye-ri: [shyjpg.]
Jin Qixuan: [Let them kick it out, it's a bit annoying. ]
Lee Hye-ri: [What, you can’t stand it anymore? What about when you abused me earlier? Single! Alone! Dog!]
There is no need to continue the conversation here.
Then, Jin Qixuan silently closed the chat box among the five people.
After a while, the nanny car arrived at the CJ Building and came to the designated room.
The house is filled with photos from the show "Brave Citizens".
Jin Qixuan was watching when the door was suddenly pushed open.
When I turned around, I saw Han Hyo Joo, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
Han Hyo Joo was dressed very beautifully today, with only light makeup on her face.
Her hair falls naturally on her shoulders, and her earlobes are adorned with jewel bow earrings. Her brown sweater makes her skin look very white, and her overall look is both lively like a girl and gentle and kind like a sister next door.
Very feminine.
Then, Han Hyo Joo showed her signature angelic smile and waved to Kim Ki-Hyun, saying, "Long time no see. Our Ki-Hyun is very popular recently! He has the potential to become a popular actor!"
"Oh? Did Nuna watch Goblin, too?"
"How can I not watch it when it's so popular! Besides, you're in it too. I specially watched the scene where you played two roles."
Jin Qixuan was flattered and quickly expressed his gratitude.
"What about you?"
Jin Qixuan was stunned, and quickly recalled, "Ah... I watched Nuna attend the MAMA awards ceremony a few days ago. She was really stunning, so beautiful that it was beyond description."
Kim Ki-hyun watched the live broadcast of the MAMA awards ceremony on his mobile phone because "Goblin" was playing on TV at that time.
At first, I thought I was watching the scene where Lee Ji-eun received the award, but then I felt awkward asking, so I waited to see Park Bo-gum and Kim Yoo-jung appear as award presenters.
Then, while waiting for Park Bo Gum to appear, I naturally saw Han Hyo Joo take the stage first as the award presenter.
"I mean the work."
Jin Qixuan was stunned, and laughed, "Works? Ah... Of course I watched Nuna's new drama!"
Han Xiaozhou could tell at a glance that Jin Qixuan was lying, and snorted lightly, expressing his unhappiness.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, I'll go catch up on the show later."
"Didn't you see it?"
“…”
Seeing that Jin Qixuan remained silent, Han Hyo Joo smiled and said, "I was just kidding. Okay, let's get ready to record."
"good……"
Soon, the two finished reading the script, and after the PD signaled, the recording began.
"Hello, fellow Naver members."
After bowing to the camera, the two introduced themselves one by one:
"I am an ordinary beautiful teacher with a third degree in Aikido, Han Hyo Joo who plays Xiao Shimin~"
"The actor who plays Han Xiugang, a demon who takes torture as pleasure and enjoys bullying others, is Jin Qixuan."
After the introduction, Jin Qixuan continued, "'Brave Citizens' will be released on January 18th. It is an entertaining action movie about facing injustice but not ignoring it. It is about bravely upholding justice."
"Not to mention the wonderful fight between me and Jin Qixuanxi, and the cat transformation that everyone has never seen before. Please look forward to everything."
"Before the movie is officially released, we have also prepared a special program for everyone, which will be held on Naver Movie Talk Live at 9 pm on December 20! At that time, we will show the charm of the behind-the-scenes of "Brave Citizens", so please pay more attention and look forward to it."
After Jin Qixuan finished speaking, Han Hyo Joo continued in a sweet voice: "Please don't forget to subscribe to the Naver Live channel~ If the trailer is viewed more than 3 million times, we will prepare a second V Live!"
At the end of the recording, the two said in unison: "On December 20th, at 9pm, Naver Movie Talk Live, let's meet with "Brave Citizens"!"
After waving goodbye to the camera, the two continued recording the next segment.
"Hello everyone!"
After the two bowed again, Han Hyo Joo smiled and said:
"I am Han Hyo Joo, the actress who plays Xiao Shimin in "Brave Citizen"."
"I am Jin Qixuan, the actor who plays Han Xiugang."
"The trailer for "Brave Citizens" has exceeded 3 million hits~"
"Wow~"
The two pretended to be very happy and clapped and cheered.
"Well, as promised, we are preparing for the second V Live."
"On December 28th, at 10pm, Naver V Live will be broadcast. Han Hyo Joo and I will prepare a test content to get to know each other. It's very interesting, so please don't forget to watch it."
"Yes, please remember to give us a lot of likes, please~"
Han Hyo Joo pouted and acted pitiful and coquettish in front of the camera.
Finally, the two put their hands together and bowed to the camera.
"Nuna, are you showing off all your coquettishness of the past year today?"
To be honest, this was the first time Jin Qixuan saw her acting coquettishly.
With her beauty, when she acts coquettishly, ordinary men can't resist it.
Even Kim Ki-hyun felt that if it were him, it would be really difficult to refuse Han Hyo-joo's coquettish request.
Han Hyo Joo didn't think it was a big deal, she smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. The competition for the early year schedule is too fierce, I have to do something~"
Kim Ki-hyun felt stressed instantly when he thought about competing with Jo In-sung's "The King" and Hyun Bin's "The Help" in the same period.
Jin Qixuan's inner thoughts: This is not something a newcomer like me should endure!!!
After chatting for a while, the two began to record the last part of the video: "Hello everyone!"
The two bowed to the camera for the third time.
"Hi everyone, I'm Han Hyo Joo from Brave Citizen."
"Jin Qixuan."
"The action movie "Brave Citizens" that will light up January has started pre-sale. In addition to our handsome appearance in the play, there will also be exciting ring battles!"
"Dear brave citizens, click the link below and pre-order now~"
“In addition, there are many upcoming events on CJ Entertainment’s official Facebook page, so please pay attention.”
Finally, the two men took boxing stances and said in unison: "On January 18th, Brave Citizens will see you there!"
The promotional video only lasted four minutes in total, but it took the two of them nearly two hours to complete it. Today's promotional work is considered finished.
In the following days, the two of them would appear on various variety shows every now and then to promote the movie.
Tomorrow afternoon, the two will go to TVN again to record a conference room talk show.
After saying goodbye to Han Hyo Joo, Kim Ki-hyeon returned to the "Goblin" crew to continue participating in the subsequent filming.
The next day.
After a day of promotion and fermentation, the movie trailer of "Brave Citizens" has received over one million hits, and the number of movie tickets pre-ordered on CJ's official website on the first day reached 300,000.
Judging from the number of pre-sale tickets on the first day and the number of clicks on the promotional video, the action film starring the handsome duo Han Hyo Joo and Kim Kye-hyun is highly anticipated by the public.
The first-day pre-sale results of 300,000 movie tickets may be considered average in China.
But for the peninsula, this is already an excellent result.
"Pure Love" (a movie starring Do Kyung-soo and Kim So-hyun), which was released on Valentine's Day this year, has not yet exceeded 200,000 viewers during its release period.
Han Hyo Joo's last movie, "Flower of the Moon," had a cumulative audience of no more than 250,000.
Therefore, the result of 300,000 pre-sale movie tickets on the first day made Jin Qixuan see flowers on Han Hyo Joo's face.
"Nuna, you seem to be in a good mood."
Han Xiaozhou's eyes curved with laughter:
"Of course, that's 300,000 advance tickets~"
“So what are your expectations for this movie now?”
“Expected?”
Han Hyo Joo poked her cheek with her fingers and thought for a while, then said ambitiously: "With such a good start, the goal is of course to have more than 10 million viewers! But considering the competition for the schedule, the realistic expectation is between 5 and 8 million viewers. Let's set a small goal of 5 million viewers first!"
Jin Qixuan pretended to wipe his sweat and said:
"Is the goal of 5 million moviegoers small? This is competing with Jo In-sung and Hyun Bin!"
"So what? I'm Han Hyo Joo!"
Han Hyo Joo raised her chin proudly and patted her chest, making a muffled sound.
To be honest, Jin Qixuan didn't know where her mysterious confidence came from, and couldn't help but teasing:
"Nuna, the performance of your last movie didn't seem to exceed 300,000 viewers..."
Seeing this, Han Hyo Joo's face froze, she raised her hand and grabbed Jin Qixuan's earlobe, and said unhappily: "Ah, you little bastard! You're trying to sabotage us, aren't you?"
"Feel sorry……"
…
Jin Qixuan was begging for mercy when two MCs of the show arrived and greeted them.
Seeing this, Han Hyo Joo quickly let go, and the two of them bowed in return.
After asking about topics that were not taboo, the two MCs entered the room to prepare for recording.
Seeing the two hosts leave, Jin Qixuan rubbed his earlobe and asked Han Hyo Joo:
"Nuna, if the movie reaches over 5 million viewers, what are you going to do? Reward yourself with a trip?"
"If we can reach 5 million viewers, I will give a pair of sneakers to each member of the crew! And I will reward myself with a week-long trip to Nepal!"
Just very... arrogant...
I guess after receiving the sneakers from Han Hyo Joo, these guys will be so excited that they will hug them to sleep...
Soon, the two entered the conference room at the prompts of the staff and began recording the show.
"Hello everyone, I'm Han Hyo Joo."
"Hello everyone, I am Jin Qixuan."
The two men entered the room, bowed and greeted each other, and the two MCs applauded and welcomed them.
After sitting down, the female MC joked: "Normally, we would greet the guests first before recording the show. But after seeing Jin Qixuan's appearance in this movie, I was a little hesitant to say hello to you at that time."
"Yeah, that look was really scary. When I saw him responding to me with honorifics just now, I was shocked. It turns out he can speak honorifics."
The two hosts started the show by teasing Jin Qixuan's character, making the atmosphere particularly interesting.
"Jin Qixuanxi debuted in 1988 and now stars in the phenomenal hit drama "Goblin". I want to ask, why did you want to play this villain role at that time?"
Jin Qixuan explained:
"Because I want to try different styles of acting and don't want to be stereotyped as an idol drama actor."
"Isn't it because you want to release the evil in your heart by playing a villain?"
“No, no…”
Jin Qixuan quickly waved his hands and explained: "The main reason is that I want to act with Han Hyo Joo. I am her loyal fan! When I thought about working with Han Hyo Joo, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep well for several days!"
Hearing this, Han Hyo Joo gave a polite smile, but in her heart, she was already complaining about Jin Qixuan, the hypocritical brat.
