Chapter 329: End of the Year Urging Marriage
After signing the formal contract with the crew of "Light and Shadow".
Jin Qixuan began to concentrate on dealing with the work that had accumulated due to filming.
The same goes for Lee Ji-eun.
In order to film the movie, she even postponed her tenth anniversary concert.
This time, before the Spring Festival, she hurriedly held three more shows.
I can only say that she deserves to be a top star.
Once the advance tickets for the concert went on sale, even she couldn't get one.
February 1st.
Jin Qixuan arrived in Florence.
I took a look at the autumn and winter samples of the Stellar Dreamscape series that I discussed with Director Michelle remotely.
Afterwards, I arranged a photo shoot in Italy for Vogue magazine to promote a new series of products.
Stayed for two days.
Jin Qixuan then moved to Paris.
Shooting the French version of GQ magazine to promote Berluti's advertising campaign and Berluti's new products.
However, when Jin Qixuan was working overseas.
But suddenly I learned that the domestic entertainment industry is undergoing earth-shaking changes.
——His own agency, Blossom Entertainment, may soon be acquired by KakaoM.
Moreover, the negotiations are nearing completion.
KakaoM has made great moves in the past two years.
Their ambitions are no longer limited to the K-pop circle.
Now they have begun to aggressively acquire actor agencies and film and television production companies.
Get ready to build your own entertainment empire.
At the end of 2018.
KakaoM has successively acquired Lee Byung-hun's BH Entertainment, Gong Yoo and Kong Hyo-jin's agency Soop Entertainment, Hyun Bin's agency VAST Entertainment, and Kim Tae-ri's agency JWIDE Entertainment.
This is what would happen if Blossom Entertainment, the agency that Kim Ki-hyun belongs to, were acquired.
Then, KakaoM will become the company with more than 6 actors who earn more than 100 million won per episode.
And more than a dozen Chungmuro actors.
Basically, the future entertainment industry will be divided into the CJ faction and the Kakao faction.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Blossom Entertainment will be acquired by KakaoM.
None of it will affect Jin Qixuan's development.
Because he now has his own system.
In layman's terms, it means that the wings have become hard.
February 7th.
Jin Qixuan arrived in Hong Kong.
Started filming the promotional video for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
This promotional video was shot to warm up the game's new map.
——The first Chinese-style map.
The promotional video was directed by Sam Hargreave.
This director's experience is quite similar to that of Director Han Dongyu.
He was previously Captain America's stunt double.
Later, he was spotted by a noble person and began to work as an assistant director of Marvel movies.
——He served as assistant director for "Suicide Squad", "The Accountant", "Atomic Blonde", "Deadpool 2", and "Avengers 3" and 4.
Of course, there is no need to hire a big director to make a promotional video for a game.
For Bluehole, Sam Hargrave's fame is just right.
Moreover, he is also an action director.
Work two jobs and get paid for one.
An old capitalist.
The content of the script is also extended according to the tone of the game.
Jin Qixuan's character is called Beta.
I came here to participate in the competition to avenge my brother.
And his younger brother was killed by Alpha played by Daniel Yan.
The gimmick of two handsome faces from the Chinese and Korean entertainment industries collaborating in action scenes is the focus of this promotional video.
The bulk of the filming budget also comes from these two people.
Jin Qixuan had heard a little about Daniel Wu before.
I always thought he was a Hong Kong actor.
I was also worried that I couldn’t understand Cantonese and would have difficulty communicating.
As a result, I found out after chatting with him that he was the third generation of Chinese immigrants to the United States.
To put it bluntly, she is a pure, authentically beautiful Chinese.
Whether it is ideas or ways of doing things, it is.
The filming process was quite difficult for Jin Qixuan.
Because he had never seen this type of action movie with guns.
I am a novice in this area.
Plus, the director is a Marvel fan.
The action scenes are designed as a combination of superheroes and Hong Kong-style martial arts.
This made Jin Qixuan very difficult to deal with.
When the director saw that Jin Qixuan was not good at this, he had to change the setting.
This is not special care for him.
Mainly because of limited time.
There is no way to give Jin Qixuan time to practice and learn these aspects of knowledge.
After changing the settings, Jin Qixuan transformed from an assaulter into a sniper who controlled the overall situation.
The protagonists of the first 4V4 encounter were originally fighting in close combat, but now it has become a solo fight between Jin Qixuan's younger brother and Yanzu.
In the end, teammates from both sides died.
The two protagonists have another fist-fighting scene in a secret supply warehouse somewhere in the game.
Although the script has been adjusted.
But Jin Qixuan still has to face high-intensity action scenes.
In addition to normal shooting every day.
He was also given additional physical training and movement instruction courses.
Although it was hard work, he enjoyed it.
After all, money is not that easy to make.
February 20th.
The two-week filming of the eight-minute promotional video for the new PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds map has been completed.
When Jin Qixuan and Yanzu parted.
The two followed each other on INS and left their contact information.
However, Jin Qixuan’s number of fans on INS is more than 10 times that of him.
Of course, a big part of the reason is that INS is not used in China.
However, for Jin Qixuan, this number is not important.
What's important is that he made new friends in the process.
When Jin Qixuan rushed back to Seoul, it was already afternoon.
The streets were unusually deserted at this moment.
It is quite different from the busy scenes of the past.
Because there are many office workers who work hard in the capital.
They all choose this moment to embark on the journey home to reunite with their families and spend the Spring Festival together.
This year, the Jin family’s Spring Festival will be celebrated in Anyang City.
The reason why Kim Ki-hyeon returned to Seoul was to pick up Lee Ji-eun.
Last Spring Festival, he went to Li Zhien’s grandmother’s house in Jeju Island.
This year it's her turn.
When Kim Ki-hyeon arrived home, Lee Ji-eun was putting on makeup.
Seeing the image of Jin Qixuan reflected in the mirror, Li Zhien smiled sweetly and said, "Are you back?"
Jin Qixuan nodded.
He walked behind her, gently put his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and greedily sniffed her scent.
"Are you tired?"
"Yeah, I want to hold you and recharge myself."
Hearing this, the small brush in Lee Ji-eun's hand stopped moving.
She slowly turned around and gently pulled him into her arms, letting his head rest against her chest.
Then, she stroked his hair gently like she was stroking a dog, and said softly:
"Thank you for your hard work, my baby..."
Listening to Li Zhien's comfort, Jin Qixuan arched his back in her arms, his heart filled with peace and satisfaction.
After a while, Jin Qixuan recovered, took a shower and changed his clothes.
Afterwards, she went out with Lee Ji-eun, who had put on makeup, and headed to Anyang City.
"Nervous?"
On the way, while waiting for the traffic light, Jin Qixuan turned his head to look at her and asked.
Li Zhien nodded and said, "A little bit."
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan quickly opened his mobile phone.
I gave her the emoticons of her grandmother in "Naughty Kids" made by some stupid netizens in the album, as well as the screenshots of Lao Jin's "ghost scene".
“Hahahahahaha…”
At first, Li Zhien just curled the corners of her mouth.
It wasn't until I saw Lao Jin's women's clothing that I couldn't hold it anymore.
"Why do you have so much dark history of Uncle Jong Kook?"
"These were sent by my cousin in the family group, so I just saved them."
While driving, Jin Qixuan quickly turned his head to glance at Li Zhien who was laughing so hard that she was bent over, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
…
The car slowly drove out of Seoul city.
The scenery along the way gradually became quiet and peaceful.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the car window, illuminating the laughing figures of the two people.
Soon, the car slowly drove into Anyang City.
Kim Ki-hyeon brought Lee Ji-eun to his grandmother's house.
Jin Qixuan's grandmother Zhao Huishan is an old lady with a cheerful personality.
Seeing the two of them coming back, he immediately came over, holding Li Zhien's hand, smiling so hard that his eyebrows were not visible:
“Hey, Jieun, you’re here at last! Come in, come in!”
Hearing the sound, Old Jintou and Kim Jong Kook also came out.
After seeing Li Zhien, he smiled with narrowed eyes and asked her to sit down.
Jin Qixuan didn't care about falling out of favor.
After changing their shoes, they placed the New Year gifts that Lee Ji-eun brought for them on the coffee table.
So he slipped into the kitchen and secretly ate some of the prepared food.
Speaking of which, Lee Ji-eun is feeling a bit nervous right now.
Not really nervous.
The main thing is that as soon as I saw them, the stupid pictures of them that I had just seen on Jin Qixuan’s phone automatically emerged in my mind.
This strong contrast made her want to laugh but she didn't dare to.
I could only hold back my smile and try hard to maintain my ladylike image.
After grandma Zhao Huishan pulled Li Zhien to sit down, she started asking questions.
Care about her work, life and the progress of their relationship.
Lee Ji-eun patiently answered her grandmother's questions. Her voice was gentle and sincere, which made Zhao Huishan like this future granddaughter-in-law even more.
After a while, Jin Qixuan, who was three-quarters full, walked out of the kitchen and glanced at the two people who were having a heated conversation.
Then, he raised his chin slightly to signal Kim Jong Kook.
Kim Jong Kook understood, stood up, and followed Kim Ki Heon into the bedroom.
"What's wrong?"
Kim Jong Kook asked as he entered the room.
"Uncle, do you know that my company is going to be acquired?"
"Know."
Kim Jong Kook nodded.
"what do I do?"
Hearing this, Kim Jong Kook smiled.
He knows Jin Qixuan.
When he came to ask me, I already had the answer in my heart.
Asking yourself is nothing more than wanting to get the same result from your mouth as in his heart.
To strengthen your determination.
"I understand what you mean. The reason you're still able to stay at Blossom Entertainment in your current situation is purely because of me and Cha Taehyun."
"I don't know what the final result will be. But if the result is an acquisition by KakaoM, you can make the best decision for you based on your own wishes and career plans."
Blossom Entertainment does not belong to Cha Tae-hyun alone.
It was also opened by two of his friends and his agent.
Although Cha Tae-hyun is the largest shareholder, he does not have a veto power.
Otherwise, KakaoM’s acquisition journey would not have taken so long.
The reason why the stalemate has lasted so long is that Cha Tae-hyun does not want to be acquired.
The other three agreed with the reason.
It's nothing more than that KakaoM has offered rights issues at a low price, and when it goes public, you can make a lot of money.
After all, according to the current development of Blossom Entertainment.
It's hard to go to the city in your lifetime.
For Jin Qixuan.
If Blossom Entertainment is acquired, it will be like opening his shackles.
There is no moral bondage of Cha Tae-hyun's kindness.
The sky is high enough for birds to fly freely and the sea is wide enough for fish to jump freely.
"Thank you uncle, I understand."
Hearing this, Kim Jong Kook patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid, why are you being so polite to me? We are a family, and your business is my business."
Jin Qixuan grinned and didn't say anything more pretentious.
At this time, grandma's call came from outside the door.
Invite two people to dinner.
"Let's go."
"Um."
They walked out of the bedroom and came to the dining room.
The table was already filled with sumptuous dishes and the aroma was everywhere.
After the uncle and nephew took their seats, grandmother Zhao Huishan began to urge everyone to pick up their chopsticks.
During this time, Zhao Huishan kept putting food into Li Zhien's bowl.
As if afraid that she wouldn't have enough to eat.
IU felt a little embarrassed, but looking at her grandmother's kind smile, she couldn't refuse.
I had no choice but to take the dish while saying thank you.
After dinner, the family sat in the living room watching TV and chatting.
Grandma Zhao Huishan took Li Zhien's hand and asked softly:
"Jie'en, what do you think of our Qixuan?"
Lee Ji-eun turned her head and looked at Kim Ki-hyeon, with stars twinkling in her eyes.
“I’m lucky to have met him and I cherish him very much.”
"That's good, that's good. Then when will you get married? I want to have a great-grandson sooner rather than later!"
After Zhao Huishan said this, Li Zhien didn't know how to respond.
He turned to look at Jin Qixuan again.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan coughed lightly and said, "Grandma, we are both only 27 this year..."
"27 is not small! When I was your age, your uncle could lift weights."
“…”
According to what Zhao Huishan said, Kim Jong Kook's companion is a dumbbell?
I imagined Kim Jong Kook being born holding dumbbells.
Li Zhien couldn't hold it in any longer, so she held her forehead and lowered her head and laughed.
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan poked Li Zhien in the waist, and then explained: "Grandma, people in the entertainment industry generally get married late, after all, they are at the peak of their careers..."
Seeing this, Kim Jong Kook also smiled and interrupted, "Yes, Mom, don't worry about it. They young people have their own plans."
"How can I not worry about it?"
Zhao Huishan glared at Jin Zhongguo and said, "I've paid for the maintenance of the big one, and I can't even take care of the small one?"
Hearing this, Kim Jong Kook stopped talking and lowered his head to eat the fruit.
"Grandma, don't worry, we know what's going on."
Jin Qixuan smiled and comforted her, at the same time giving Li Zhien a look, signaling her not to smile too obviously.
Lee Ji-eun received Kim Ki-hyeon's gaze and tried hard to hold back her smile, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Alas, grandma understands that you want to work hard for a few more years while you are still young. But I am old, and if one day I am gone and cannot see you start a family, I will be so regretful."
If Zhao Huishan urged him to get married like she did to Kim Jong-kook, Kim Qixuan could still chat with her with a smile.
But when it comes to age, Jin Qixuan remained silent.
The old lady is 74 years old this year.
You never know, he may not live for many years.
Now she has given up hope on Kim Jong Kook.
The only thought is on Jin Qixuan.
"Grandma, we'll hold on tight."
Hearing this, the old lady smiled again, her eyebrows and eyes not visible, and said:
"Okay, okay."
…
In the early morning, the family had their New Year’s Eve dinner.
Kim Ki-hyeon and Lee Ji-eun then said goodbye.
On the one hand, the house is small and there is no room for two people to live in.
On the other hand, Lee Ji-eun will also go to Jeju Island tomorrow to reunite with her family.
The night was as dark as ink, dotted with street lights, and seemed somewhat quiet.
Soft music was playing in the carriage, creating a warm atmosphere.
“Jie Eun.”
Li Zhien turned her head and looked at Jin Qixuan who was driving and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"What grandma told me just now about her advanced age touched me deeply. Your grandma is not young either, right?"
"Um……"
"At this stage, the old man's wish is to see his children and grandchildren get married, start their own businesses, and enjoy the happiness of family life."
Jin Qixuan paused, then continued:
“So, I think we should hurry up.”
"How do you hold on tight?"
"Plan our future."
