Chapter 185 Stupid Dog Zhien
Since the beginning of the New Year, he has been busy all the time. Until the tenth day, Jin Qixuan suddenly found that he was fine.
Yes, it's really okay.
The school was on holiday, and Kim Ki-hyeon had already written the stage script that Lee Ji-eun wanted after working all night for three days on the night that her concert ended.
As for the variety shows that have been announced to promote the movie, I have basically already attended all of them, and the remaining variety shows that I didn’t attend will not have much effect on promoting the movie.
Sheng Bingxu has not yet given Jin Qixuan any advertising endorsements. He wants to maximize the profits after Jin Qixuan's new movie is released and "Goblin" is completed.
Jin Qixuan also attended all the New Year's Day sales events held by merchants who endorsed the products.
The media preview and VIP preview of "Brave Citizens" ended a few days ago, and the response was very good.
The promotion for the movie has basically reached its limit, and it’s just waiting for its premiere on the 18th.
The magazine shoot has been completed, but as for the double cover with Han Hyo Joo, we will have to wait until a week after the movie is released.
Gucci also invited Jin Qixuan to attend the Milan Fashion Week show on February 22nd.
In addition to Gucci, Bulgari also invited Jin Qixuan to watch the show.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan made a special check and found out that both Gucci and Bulgari’s shows were held on the first day of the fashion week, but Gucci’s was in the morning and Bulgari’s was in the afternoon.
This also means that Jin Qixuan does not need to stay in Milan for too long and can come back after showing his face.
In addition to these, the "Goblin" crew also stopped working for two days.
The reason was that due to working non-stop for 48 hours to catch up with the shooting schedule, Gong Yoo fainted on the set, and Lee Dong Wook was also so exhausted that he was hospitalized.
Jin Qixuan escaped because he had few roles.
However, just when Jin Qixuan was enjoying a rare vacation, Uncle Li's concert in Taiwan ended successfully, and the first thing he did when he returned to Seoul was to find Jin Qixuan to urge him to submit his manuscripts.
So, Kim Ki-hyeon, who had originally made an appointment with Park Bo Gum to play football, was forced to stand him up and went to Loen Entertainment, oh no, now it should be called Kakao M Entertainment, with his laptop to meet with Lee Ji-eun.
By the way, after Kakao M Entertainment acquired Loen, it did not change the building. It still has the original address of Samseong-dong, but the plaque and representative have changed.
Jin Qixuan had passed by it a few times when he was busy with work. To be honest, the storefront was quite ordinary and did not have the grandeur of a large entertainment company.
But even so, it is better than Jin Qixuan's company.
At least Kakao M company is an entire building, while Blossom Entertainment is just one floor of an office building and doesn’t even have a storefront.
Following the navigation instructions, Jin Qixuan drove to the entrance of Kakao M company.
When there was still some time left at the door, Jin Qixuan noticed that Lee Ji-eun, who was wrapped tightly like a penguin, was jumping at the door, as if trying to keep warm.
When the car drove in front of her, Jin Qixuan noticed that her originally fair face had turned red. It didn't look like she was wearing makeup, but rather like she was cold. She must have been waiting at the door for a while.
Jin Qixuan originally thought that Hunte would come to pick him up as before, but he never expected that she would be waiting here in person.
"You're so stupid. You're still waiting outside in such cold weather."
"You are stupid. If I wasn't afraid that you couldn't find the way, I wouldn't wait for you."
Seeing that she could still talk back, it was obvious that she was not frozen stupid, Jin Qixuan smiled and said: "I am not as directionally challenged as you."
"Then go in by yourself."
Li Zhien's face froze. She cursed Jin Qixuan in her heart for being an idiot who didn't understand romance. She glared at him and turned to go into the building.
"Hey! Hey! I was just kidding... Don't leave!"
However, Li Zhien didn't listen at all.
Jin Qixuan had no choice but to go park the car first.
After parking the car, Jin Qixuan picked up his handbag, got out of the car and walked into the Kakao M building.
Just entered the gate.
Lee Ji-eun, who had been hiding and waiting for a long time, suddenly jumped out, trying to scare Kim Ki-hyeon.
"ah!"
As a result, not only did Lee Ji-eun fail to scare Kim Ki-hyeon, but she scared herself instead.
After a year of boxing training, Jin Qixuan's reaction nerves have become much faster than those of ordinary people, and he has even developed unconscious instinctive reactions.
Just as Lee Ji-eun spoke, Kim Ki-hyeon threw a punch.
Fortunately, she stopped in time, otherwise Lee Ji-eun would have been lying on the ground.
Seeing her originally rosy face turn pale in an instant, Jin Qixuan put away his fist embarrassedly:
"Don't scare me, my body reacts faster than my brain..."
"I know, I know..."
"Here, have a piece of chocolate to calm your nerves."
As he spoke, Jin Qixuan stuffed a bunch of small packages of dark chocolate from his pocket into Li Zhien's hands.
"So many? Bought especially for me?"
After seeing the chocolate, Lee Ji-eun's eyes lit up and her bloodless cheeks quickly returned to normal.
“I guess so…”
As for purchasing this sugar-free 100% pure dark chocolate, Kim Qixuan heard from Kim Jong-kook that it can be antioxidant and improve metabolism, and eating it in moderation is very helpful during the fat loss period.
But Kim Jong Kook didn't tell Kim Ki Xuan that this thing was extremely bitter, even bitterer than bitter melon. Kim Ki Xuan spit it out after just one bite.
Just this one bite made Jin Qixuan suffer for the entire morning...
"Then I'll take it~"
As expected, as soon as Li Zhien opened the package and ate it, she immediately put on a mask of pain, stuck out her tongue and said:
"Ashi... Bah, why is it so bitter? Are you doing this on purpose?"
Jin Qixuan smiled secretly in his heart, you scared me just now.
But even though he felt happy, he kept his face the same and pretended to be stupid:
"I remember you love chocolate, don't you?"
“I love sweet chocolate!”
"This dark chocolate is good for the skin and has anti-oxidation (anti-aging) properties, which are documented in relevant literature."
Hearing this, Li Zhien looked suspicious and said:
"Really? Why don't you eat something so good?"
“I’m afraid of suffering.”
"I'm not afraid?"
Seeing Li Zhien's eyes wide open like copper bells and ready to punch, Jin Qixuan took a half step back, took a defensive posture, and explained: "Because you are already too sweet, you need to eat a little bitterness to combine."
Hearing this, Li Zhien slowly lowered her fist that was waving in the air, silently put the chocolate into her pocket, turned her back, and snorted: "Hmph, let's go."
And on the front face that Jin Qixuan couldn't see, Li Zhien's mouth corners were raised proudly.
Following behind Lee Ji-eun, Kim Ki-hyeon looked around the first floor lobby.
On the wall on the left side of the entrance, there are photos of all the artists of its subsidiaries.
Such as sister groups, Apink, high4, FIESTAR, Lee Kwang Soo, Lee Dong Wook, etc.
Despite the large number of people, the center of all the photos is Uncle Li, who is walking in front of Jin Qixuan with his hands behind his back and humming a little tune.
In addition to being the center position in the photo, there are also two posters of Lee Ji-eun supported by tripods at the elevator entrance, with wreaths and ribbons hanging on them. They should be placed to congratulate her on the success of her concert at the Jamsil Olympic Stadium.
As I walked into the elevator, the TV inside was playing clips of Lee Ji-eun's concert in Jamsil on a loop.
Walking out of the elevator on the fourth floor, Jin Qixuan followed Li Zhien and listened to her introduction: "This is my dance practice room, this is the editing room, and this is the recording studio..."
As she spoke, Lee Ji-eun opened the door of the recording studio and walked in with Kim Ki-hyeon.
It is called a recording studio, but it is also Lee Ji-eun’s office.
The recording studio and console take up half of the house, while the remaining space contains a sofa, coffee table, desk, small refrigerator, water dispenser, a record player, and a bookshelf.
As soon as she entered the door, Lee Ji-eun walked towards the small refrigerator, squatted down and put the chocolate in her pocket into it.
Jin Qixuan came to the desk and put down his handbag.
There were a lot of papers scattered on the desk at this time, including text, musical scores and some painting patterns. It seemed that these should be some inspirations for Lee Ji-eun when she was creating her new album.
Jin Qixuan put down his handbag and picked up a piece of paper with words on it and looked at it.
"Your Luck"
"Why did you come to me?"
"Now if we could be together"
"Oh, how wonderful it would be"
"What would you like to drink?"
"Water, thank you."
Jin Qixuan replied, put down the lyrics and looked at the paper on which he was drawing.
The painting on the paper shows a man and a woman walking hand in hand under the starry sky.
As for the musical notation below, Jin Qixuan couldn't understand it.
However, Jin Qixuan discovered that under these messy papers, there was actually a copy of the "GQ January Issue" magazine that he had shot.
At this time, Li Zhien handed the paper cup to Jin Qixuan.
Jin Qixuan thanked him, took the paper cup and drank a sip of water, then pointed at the paper with words on it and asked, "Are these the lyrics you wrote?"
Following the direction pointed by Kim Ki-hyeon, Lee Ji-eun looked down and said "hmm".
"The girl is in love, who is she secretly in love with?"
“The experiences in the lyrics may not all be my own, just like a script written by a writer.”
Although she said that, Lee Ji-eun was staring at Kim Ki-hyeon with burning eyes.
After staring at her for three seconds, Jin Qixuan was the first to avoid her burning gaze, coughed lightly, and said, "Well, let's take a look at the script."
"Come over to the sofa, the desk is too messy."
"good."
The two of them sat down on the sofa, and Jin Qixuan opened the document in his notebook: "Let me read it to you."
"good."
"The story begins on the day the Husky was born, on..."
As soon as Jin Qixuan finished reading a sentence, Li Zhien interrupted:
"Wait, Husky...is that a dog's name? Or is it a person's name?"
"Yes, it's a dog. The background setting is a story about two disabled dogs who rely on each other for warmth and survival."
Jin Qixuan stopped, turned to look at her and explained.
“Why use a dog as the protagonist?”
“It meets the intellectual needs of the audience.”
"Okay, go ahead."
Jin Qixuan turned his head to look at the computer and continued reading: "The Husky was born with intellectual disabilities, commonly known as a stupid dog. His mother and father didn't love him since he was a child, and his brothers and sisters bullied him one by one."
"In a shit-eating contest organized by a dog group..."
Li Zhien was shocked and asked, "Wait! What are you eating!?"
"Shit... isn't that what dogs do?"
Li Zhien pinched her nose and fanned it with one hand, as if there was a smell, and said with a look of disgust:
"Oh! This is so disgusting! Change it! Change it to... Change it to swimming!"
"Well... during a dog swimming competition, the husky's mother told the dog to wait for her while she went shopping. The mother dog never came back."
"The poor little husky was forced to start his life as a stray dog."
"But due to its intellectual disability and poor survival skills, it went hungry for nine meals in three days. However, it finally saw a piece of fresh and hot food... cough..."
Hearing this, Lee Ji-eun interrupted Kim Ki-hyeon with a punch.
"If you dare to say that... I will kill you!"
"Sorry, wait a moment, I'll change the last part..."
After a while.
After finishing the revision, Jin Qixuan continued reading:
"Thank goodness, the Husky found the fallen beehive under the tree."
"It went forward to sniff curiously, but was stung by the bee and rolled on the ground."
"After finally surviving the bee's beating, the bruised and battered Husky was about to lick the honey when other dogs suddenly appeared and crushed the beehive into pieces, mocking it as a stupid dog, a dumb dog, and a fool."
"At this time, a Border Collie in a wheelchair couldn't bear it anymore."
After reading this, Jin Qixuan deliberately paused for a moment, waiting for Li Zhien to ask him why the dog was in a wheelchair.
However, Lee Ji-eun seemed to be fascinated by what she was saying and did not question it. Instead, she urged Kim Ki-hyeon to read faster.
"The lame Border Collie said with contempt: You are still laughing, but you don't know that disaster is coming! It was stung so many times just by sniffing. There is so much honey on your body. If you don't wash it off, the consequences will be..."
"Seeing this, the bad dogs howled and ran to the river to wash the honey."
"Bian Mu sneered and turned his wheelchair to leave. At this time, the timid voice of the Husky sounded behind him: I...I want to follow you."
"Bian Mu's wheelchair stopped and he asked without turning his head: Why?"
"You, you are good to me. Other animals, they are not good to me."
"Bian Mu was silent for a while, then slowly asked: What's your name?"
"My name is Ji Eun...hiss, what are you doing! Wasn't this your turn to act?!"
Knowing that punching him wouldn't hurt, this time Lee Ji-eun directly pinched the soft flesh on Kim Ki-hyeon's waist.
"Don't use my name! I'm not stupid!"
"Let go first. I'll ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, you'll be considered smart."
"Okay, you can ask, but don't ask what I don't know!"
“…”
Jin Qixuan rubbed his forehead and asked, "First question, why can frogs fly?"
Li Zhien frowned slightly, looked at Jin Qixuan in confusion and said:
"What's the problem? Frogs can't fly!"
"Wrong, because frogs eat the elixir so they can fly! Second question, why can snakes fly?"
"Snake...snake ate the elixir?"
"Wrong! The snake ate the frog. Question 3: Why can the eagle fly?"
Li Zhien's big eyes rolled around and she said confidently: "Because the eagle ate the snake."
"Wrong! Eagles can fly, and you still say you're not stupid?"
"ah!!!"
Facing Li Zhien's angry hammer, Jin Qixuan had no choice but to let her hit him. He had provoked her, so there was nothing he could do...
Jin Qixuan didn't raise his arms to defend himself, for fear that she would hurt his wrist.
After punching Jin Qixuan several times, Li Zhien's anger gradually subsided.
"We'll discuss the name later. Let's continue with the story."
"oh."
Jin Qixuan smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, looked at the computer, and continued reading:
"Bian Mu turned his wheelchair around, looked at the Husky and said: Then you can call me brother."
"The Husky's face lit up with joy, and he shouted, 'Brother!'
"What are you still standing there for? Come home with me!"
"The Husky nodded vigorously, showing a silly smile, and pushed the wheelchair forward without any instruction, as if it was destined by God."
After reading the first half of the story, Jin Qixuan explained to Li Zhien:
"This Border Collie represents people without limbs in the Disabled Persons' Federation, and the Husky represents people with intellectual disabilities. The meeting of the two dogs is a metaphor for the encounter between the two Disabled Persons' Federation communities, which they regard as their home. What do you think?"
Li Zhien smiled sweetly, gave Jin Qixuan a thumbs up, and praised: "I think it's very good! You are worthy of it~"
