Chapter 263: Stabbing Ma Dongxi in the back and standing up Kim Eun-sook
Luo Meilan successfully completed three days of filming and finished the filming smoothly.
During these three days, Jin Qixuan and her rival's scenes were full of sparks, and each other's performances reached a peak.
In contrast, the rivalry between Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Kwang-soo was light-hearted and humorous, bringing a lot of laughter to the crew.
The confrontation with Ms. Luo Meilan was even more fascinating, and every collision made the director applaud.
Dong Jiuma’s appearance is the climax of the entire plot, and also the biggest conflict point and emotional outburst point of the film.
The filming process was also full of challenges and difficulties. Every detail needed to be carefully polished and every shot needed to be repeatedly scrutinized.
With the successful completion of Luo Meilan's role, the atmosphere on the crew became noticeably more relaxed and everyone's work pressure was reduced a lot.
In such an atmosphere, Kim Ki-hyeon began to frequently joke with the two Lees (Lee Kwang-soo and Lee Sun-bin) who were in an ambiguous period.
Whenever Jin Qixuan teased the two of them in a joking manner, Li Xianbin would always blush and finally run away.
Such scenes would always trigger laughter from the crew, filling the entire shooting site with laughter.
On September 5th, the cover of the Kim Gu issue shot by Kim Ki-hyun for Vogue Korea was officially released.
Although this issue of the magazine showed excellent levels in terms of creativity, theme, color composition and styling.
But compared with Kim Ki-hyun's peak work [2016 GQ korea March issue], this issue of the magazine is still slightly inferior.
Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on the editor-in-chief and photographer.
Jin Qixuan's recent weight loss also affected the shooting effect to a certain extent.
Despite this, the sales of this monthly magazine are still good.
The e-magazine sold over a million copies in just three days, which is enough to prove Jin Qixuan's influence in the fashion circle.
With the release of this issue of the magazine, Jin Qixuan officially reached the top of the Peninsula's fashion circle.
Before this, among the male artists on the Peninsula, GD was undoubtedly the one with the most abundant fashion resources.
With his unique fashion taste and influence, GD has already completed the Grand Slam in the three major mainstream fashion magazines and has become the darling of many brands and magazines.
However, the rise of Jin Qixuan broke this situation. Not only did he come from behind, but he also completed the feat of having five major mainstream first-line fashion magazines published.
Jin Qixuan's current fashion influence has surpassed the borders of the peninsula and has become a new focus of the fashion circles in Asia and even the world.
Now, whether it is commercial endorsements or magazine shoots, Jin Qixuan has demonstrated unparalleled competitiveness.
As Jin Qixuan's influence in the fashion industry grows, his acting career is also showing new vitality.
On September 7, the 12th Seoul International Television Festival was held as scheduled.
Kim Ki-hyun and Park Bo-young both won the Best Actor/Actress awards for Hallyu TV Series for their outstanding acting in "Strong Woman Do Bong-soon".
This award is not very prestigious in the industry.
It is not even as authoritative as the awards given out at the end of the year by the three major wireless stations in the peninsula.
It can only be considered a second-tier award.
But despite this, this honor still adds an important chapter to Jin Qixuan's acting career.
The awards won by Kim Ki-hyun and Park Bo-young have brought more glory to "Strong Woman Do Bong-soon", and the drama's score on Naver's film review website has increased significantly.
After the award ceremony.
Park Bo-young's new film "Your Wedding" has started filming.
Jin Qixuan specially sent a support car for her.
The banner read: "I, An Min Hyuk, do not agree to your wedding!"
This scene made the staff on the scene couldn't help laughing, and Park Bo Young also couldn't stop laughing.
After Park Bo Young posted this set of photos on IG, they were quickly captured by the media and quickly spread on the Internet.
At this point, Kim Ki-hyun and Park Bo-young's "Dog CP" has once again become a hot topic.
Earlier, the images of Ahn Min-hyuk and Do Bong-soon created by Kim Kye-hyun and Park Bo-young in "Strong Woman Do Bong-soon" were deeply rooted in people's hearts and unforgettable.
Now, Jin Qixuan's support car banner has made their CP fans excited, and they left messages saying:
"Dog CP will always be together!"
"Kim Ki-Hyun and Park Bo-Young are truly the best on-screen couple!"
“I look forward to their cooperation again!
…
In the middle of the month, Jin Qixuan took a flight to Milan to attend the 2018 GUCCI Spring/Summer fashion show.
Before, Jin Qixuan thought that Bae Suzy was going to Milan to watch the Fendi show just like last time.
The GUCCI show is on the afternoon of the 20th, and the Fendi show is at noon on the 21st, with not much time between them.
Therefore, Jin Qixuan thought of inviting her to take a flight together so that he could talk to her about the postgraduate entrance examination on the way.
However, when he inquired, he learned that her destination was the Dior show at Paris Fashion Week.
I have to say, Suzy’s fashion resources are really good.
Jin Qixuan had also received many invitations to fashion shows such as YSL, Burberry, and CHANEL.
But Jin Qixuan did not go, partly because his filming schedule was tight and he could not go out for three consecutive weeks.
On the other hand, I am afraid that GUCCI will misunderstand me.
The plane shuttled through the blue sky, gradually rising higher, away from the hustle and bustle of the ground, and soared towards Milan.
Jin Qixuan and his agent were sitting on the plane, enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window while discussing the next script invitation.
"Is your movie almost over?"
"Well, it's almost done. It will be finished by the end of the month or the beginning of the month." Jin Qixuan replied.
"There have been a lot of scripts looking for you recently, and I have selected two for you." Sheng Bingxu continued.
Jin Qixuan became interested and asked, "What type?"
"One of them is an urban crime action film, which is tailor-made for Ma Dong-seok."
"Crime action movie? I just started to make the transition...wait!" Jin Qixuan suddenly asked in surprise: "Is Uncle Ma going to star in it?!"
"right."
"Since it's Uncle Ma... let me see the script."
Jin Qixuan took the script folder from Sheng Bingxu.
As soon as I opened it, I saw the three big words "The Legend of Evil" on the paper.
As he gradually immersed himself in it, his eyes sparkled with excitement.
In the framework of many crime films, classic characters such as police, gangsters and serial killers always appear in pairs, and often make good films.
But this movie cleverly combines the three of them into one, and the freshness comes immediately.
The story begins with an umbrella, which closely links the three characters together.
A sloppy, bad-tempered policeman who takes unconventional approaches to handling cases but also has a strong sense of justice.
A gangster boss with a strong physique, tattoos all over his body and a strong sense of violence.
A sinister, perverted and highly intelligent murderer.
What’s interesting about this movie is that although it’s titled “The Evil Dead”.
But the good guys in the play are not perfect, and the bad guys are not completely useless. They all have complex gray areas.
"How about it?"
Seeing Jin Qixuan finish reading the script, Sheng Bingxu asked.
“Great script!”
Jin Qixuan laughed and said, "To be honest, I am very interested in this gangster boss role. But unfortunately I am too thin now and cannot show the violent aesthetics..."
“…”
Sheng Bingxu didn't reply. I was relieved that he had self-awareness.
"I want to play the psychopathic murderer."
"Oh?" Sheng Bingxu asked in surprise, "I remember they invited you to play the role of a policeman who was both good and evil."
"It's boring to play a rogue cop."
Jin Qixuan shook his head slightly and analyzed it clearly: "The character of the murderer is more complex and has more depth. His inner world, his motives, and his madness all attract me. I want to let the audience see the multifaceted nature of this character, his pain and struggle through my interpretation."
Sheng Bingxu raised his eyebrows and pierced through Jin Qixuan's seriousness: "I think you just want to stab Ma Dongxi with a knife?"
“Hahaha~”
Jin Qixuan laughed out loud.
"If you want to book it, I'll contact the director as soon as I get off the plane."
"It's settled, I'll play the murderer... Wait, what about the other one?"
"Oh yeah! Another movie needs you to audition."
"Audition??"
Jin Qixuan was stunned.
Come to think of it, he hasn't auditioned for a long time.
Now all the film contracts are vying to be offered to Jin Qixuan, and it is too difficult to choose.
Recalling the last time I auditioned, it was when I was filming "Bhunga".
"For the movie that needs my audition, will the main actor be Choi Min-sik or Song Kang-ho?"
"Smart, the main character is Song Kanghao."
Sheng Bingxu praised it and then said:
"Director Bong Joon-ho started working on this film in 2012, but he put it aside for some reason and has been idle until now before he is ready to reshoot it."
"Ah... Bong Joon-ho + Song Kang-ho?!"
Jin Qixuan couldn't help but swear.
You can tell the outcome of the movie that these two big guys are working together on, it's bound to be a hit.
Director Bong Joon-ho can be said to be one of the most outstanding directors in South Korea, and each of his works has attracted much attention.
From "The Host" to "Snowpiercer" and "Okja", all of them are classics.
Song Kang-ho is the top star in the Korean film industry and is not called the National Song for nothing.
Earlier, Song Kanghao was under Choi Min-sik.
But after "Myeongryang", Choi Min-sik has not been doing well, while Song Kang-ho has been on a roll and has a very high national popularity.
But internationally, Choi Min-sik's influence is still higher than Song Kang-ho's.
"What role are you auditioning for?"
Jin Qixuan rubbed his hands and asked expectantly.
"Take a look at this script first." Sheng Bingxu said, taking out another script from his handbag and handing it to him.
When Jin Qixuan opened the script, the first thing he saw was the three big words "Parasite" prominently printed on the first page.
Jin Qixuan's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He knew that the word "Parasite" has multiple meanings in Korean, and that director Bong Joon-ho's choice of this word as the title of the movie must have a profound implication.
He couldn't wait to start reading the script and soon immersed himself in the world of the script.
This is a story about social classes, the gap between the rich and the poor, and human nature. The plot is gripping and the characters are vivid.
When Jin Qixuan turned to the last page, he felt a strong shock.
The ending of the script was beyond his expectations, but also reasonable.
He felt the profound thoughts and emotional power that director Bong Joon-ho wanted to convey.
"Even if I don't get paid, I will still act."
Jin Qixuan's eyes flashed with determination. He looked up at Sheng Bingxu, his tone full of determination.
"This script is not just a story, it is a mirror that reflects the true face of our society. Director Bong Joon-ho's words are powerful and can touch people's hearts and make them think."
Sheng Bingxu nodded and said, "This script is indeed very profound, otherwise I wouldn't have recommended it to you."
“So, I auditioned for the role of Ki-woo, right?”
Jin Qixuan flipped through the script again and fixed his eyes on the character named "Jiyu".
This character is the eldest son of a poor family. He is smart but limited by his social class. He makes many shocking choices in order to change his destiny.
"Yes." Sheng Bingxu nodded and said, "This role is rich in layers and has a lot of room for development. I think it won't be a big problem for you."
Kim Ki-hyeon took a deep breath and closed his eyes, as if he had already seen the character of Ki-woo emerge from his interpretation.
He knew that this character was not just the eldest son of a poor family, but also a microcosm of an era and a symbol of society.
"I will do my best to interpret this role well." Jin Qixuan opened his eyes, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
"Well, let's arrange an audition when we get back to Seoul."
"Wait...Brother, I suddenly remembered that screenwriter Kim Eun-sook invited me to play the leading role in her new drama at the Baeksang Awards earlier. It is expected to start filming at the end of the year."
Sheng Bingxu thought about it and asked, "Ah, it's Mr. Sunshine, right?"
"right."
"I've read that script. Although it's very good, the role is somewhat similar to your previous style, so it's not challenging enough for you."
Sheng Bingxu analyzed to Jin Qixuan:
"Besides, that drama is a big production, with scenes shot all over the country, and the shooting period is extremely long. If you want to act in this drama, you can't act in "The Villain" and "Parasite"."
"Besides, you've experienced the high pressure intensity during director Lee Eung-bok's filming. I'm afraid you can't handle it."
When filming the last few episodes of "Goblin" to catch up with the schedule, Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook were both so tired that they fainted and were hospitalized.
With Jin Qixuan's current small physique, it would be easy for him to not be able to withstand it.
After listening to Sheng Bingxu's words, Jin Qixuan was silent for a while, then nodded.
Although "Mr. Sunshine" is a good opportunity to win the Best Actor award.
But the role of a cool and perfect male lead is indeed not challenging enough for Jin Qixuan.
Moreover, the shooting period was too long, lasting a whole year, which greatly affected his development.
Jin Qixuan was a little confused and said, "Brother, how can I tell screenwriter Jin Enshu that I stood her up?"
Sheng Bingxu looked at Jin Qixuan's confused expression and couldn't help laughing. He patted Jin Qixuan on the shoulder and said:
"Qixuan, don't worry about that. Screenwriter Kim Eun-sook won't be upset with you for rejecting her invitation. After all, she is often rejected."
"Ah..." Jin Qixuan couldn't believe it. "But those who rejected her were public property like Gong Liu and Zhao In Sung... For a newcomer like me who debuted for two years... Will she think I'm ungrateful?"
After all, Jin Qixuan had rejected screenwriter Zhao Yunying's invitation to star in "Scarlet Heart: Ryeo".
Later, the screenwriter held a grudge against him and arranged for him to make a guest appearance as a scumbag, who was beaten up by Lee Ji-eun.
Sheng Bingxu laughed. He understood Jin Qixuan's concerns, so he patiently explained:
"Qixuan, you have to understand that for screenwriter Jin Enshu, the most important thing is to find a suitable actor to interpret her role. She will not force you and will respect your decision. After all, actors also have their own choices and considerations. So, you don't have to worry about offending her by rejecting her invitation."
As a leader in the industry, screenwriter Kim Eun-sook naturally has extraordinary vision and mind.
Jin Qixuan is judging others by his own standards.
"Brother, I understand. I will communicate with screenwriter Kim Eun-sook and express my gratitude and regret, as well as my considerations and decision."
"Well, take a rest and talk about it after you get off the plane."
…
At noon on the 19th, Italian time, Jin Qixuan and his team arrived at Milan Airport and were warmly welcomed by media reporters.
Reporters, cameras in hand, rushed forward to capture this moment, and the shutter sounds echoed in the airport hall.
Jin Qixuan nodded politely and then stepped into the nanny car that GUCCI had carefully prepared for him.
The car drove out of the airport, passed through the bustling city streets, and finally arrived at the GUCCI-owned hotel in the center of Milan.
The hotel's interior decoration is luxurious and elegant, reflecting GUCCI's exquisite taste and luxurious atmosphere everywhere.
Jin Qixuan was arranged to stay in the presidential suite on the top floor. The room had a wide view and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the charming scenery of the city of Milan.
Gently push open the door, and a fresh floral scent hits you in the face.
The design of the suite combines both artistic and practicality, showcasing the brand characteristics of GUCCI while fully considering the living comfort.
Jin Qixuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking this fashionable city.
The streets and alleys of Milan, whether it is the towering skyscrapers or the quaint buildings, all exude a unique charm.
At this moment, his cell phone rang.
It was a message from Alessandro Michael, chief designer of GUCCI, inviting him to a dinner party in the evening.
Jin Qixuan replied to the message with a smile, saying that he was looking forward to the evening's activities.
Afterwards, Kim Ki-hyeon called screenwriter Kim Eun-sook and told her about the situation.
"Qixuan, I understand your decision. Every actor has his or her own pursuits and considerations. I will respect your choice. I hope we can have a chance to work together again in the future."
Kim Eun-sook's voice was like the spring breeze in April, gently blowing through Kim Ki-hyeon's heart, bringing warmth and comfort.
After hanging up the phone, Jin Qixuan felt quite emotional for a moment.
The dinner bell rang melodiously, and Jin Qixuan arrived as scheduled and walked into the dazzling venue.
The lights are turned on and the chandeliers are shining brightly.
The tableware is neatly arranged and the artwork hanging on the wall is dazzling.
Every detail highlights the unique charm and luxurious temperament of GUCCI.
At this star-studded dinner, Jin Qixuan wore GUCCI's latest season's fashions and discussed topics of fashion, art and culture with elites from all walks of life.
Alessandro Michael came forward warmly and shook hands tightly with Jin Qixuan.
"Kim, it's a great honor to have you at our dinner." Alessandro Michael's voice was filled with genuine joy.
Jin Qixuan responded with a smile: "I am honored to be invited to the GUCCI dinner."
As the two chatted, the dinner officially began.
Food and wine complement each other, and music and dance perform together.
The entire dinner was like a flowing art scroll, full of the timeless charm of art and fashion.
It’s the last day, I hope everyone has a good meal and fun tomorrow!
