Early in the morning, six o'clock.
Jin Yanjin, who was lying on the bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, rolled around twice on the bed, then opened the door with his hair messed up from sleep, and ran to the bedroom next door.
Since the little guy was one and a half years old, Lee Ji-eun asked him to sleep in a separate room on the grounds of building his self-awareness.
On the one hand, the couple and their child have different schedules and are afraid of disturbing his rest.
On the other hand, the little guy wakes up three or four times every night, seriously disrupting the couple's lives.
So, on the second day after little Jin Yanjin turned one and a half years old, her parents ruthlessly threw her into the baby room.
At first, Zizi was still a little uncomfortable and would always sneak back to the master bedroom in the middle of the night, or squeeze between Jin Qixuan and Li Zhien, or crawl into Li Zhien's arms.
Due to her many years of experience as an artist, Lee Ji-eun has a very light sleep and will wake up at the slightest movement, so her little thoughts will always be discovered by her mother.
This tug-of-war lasted for nearly a month, and Jin Yanjin finally compromised and slept obediently in her own baby room.
Of course, there will still be a nanny with me every night.
Half a year has passed. Except for occasionally having nightmares and crying for his mother at night, the baby has behaved very well most of the time.
Of course, when I wake up in the morning, I will run to the master bedroom first, and today is no exception.
When Lee Ji-eun heard the footsteps getting closer outside the door, she knew it was Zaizai coming.
Even though she spent very late last night with Kim Ki-hyeon who had not returned home for a long time, out of maternal instinct, Lee Ji-eun opened her eyes the moment she heard the voice.
The door was slowly pushed open from the outside, and a little head poked in.
Seeing her mother looking at her, Jin Yanjin's eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of her mouth raised, and she ran over with her short legs.
"Good morning, Mom."
Jin Yanjin stood beside the bed and said in a baby voice.
Seeing her son smiling the same smile as her own, Lee Ji-eun's heart melted.
She quickly sat up, held her son in her arms, and kissed his soft little face hard.
"Good morning, honey, how did you sleep last night?"
Jin Yanjin put his arms around his mother's neck, put his little head on her shoulder, and said softly:
"Yan Jin slept well last night. He didn't kick off the quilt or wet the bed."
Hearing this, Li Zhien chuckled, rubbed his little head, and praised: "Yanjin is great, mom loves you."
"Yanjin loves mom too."
"Look, who is this?"
Jin Yanjin turned his head and saw that his father was there too. The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up again. He struggled to get out of his mother's arms and threw himself into his father's arms again.
"Good morning, Dad."
"Good morning, did you miss daddy?"
“I thought about it!”
“Haha~”
Jin Qixuan smiled and lifted him above his head, letting him sit on his shoulders, saying, "Let's ride on the big horse."
The cub hugged his father's neck and screamed excitedly.
After a while, the father and son finished washing up.
A family of three was sitting at the dining table having breakfast.
Jin Yanjin sat in a children's chair with a bowl of vegetable porridge and a small plate of nutritious meal made of shrimp, broccoli, carrots and eggs in front of her.
Because he spends more time with his mother.
Therefore, many behaviors are imitated from the mother.
For example, when it comes to chewing food, it can be said that she is exactly the same as Lee Ji-eun.
One hundred and eight times, not one less.
"How long can you stay this time?"
On the opposite side, Lee Ji-eun picked up a piece of fried egg and put it into her mouth, speaking while chewing.
"I can stay for a week, spend your birthday with you, then I'll join the crew of Squidward: The Last Airbender 2."
After more than three years of marriage, the couple can spend slightly more time together than when they were dating.
Ever since Jin Qixuan won the 71st Berlin Golden Bear Award for Best Actor and "Squid Game" became a global hit, he has completely opened up the market outside of Asia.
Not long ago, he was even named "one of the most influential actors of the year" by Time magazine.
Today, his career is at its peak, his popularity has reached an unprecedented height, and his pay is the highest among all actors.
However, every advantage has its disadvantages.
What came with it were countless announcements and schedules. Every day he was either on his way to filming locations in various places or on his way back to Seoul.
But despite this, he is still one Baeksang Arts Award away from becoming the Grand Slam Best Actor.
In response to this, some netizens joked that the Baeksang Best Actor award is actually harder to win than the Berlin Best Actor award.
In order to complete his domestic film actor grand slam achievement, Jin Qixuan prepared to film his idea six years ago - "The Biography of Kim Dae-jung".
This type of subject matter was somewhat sensitive earlier and was always suppressed and not allowed to be filmed.
But since the epidemic, the Peninsula film market has completely opened up in order to stimulate recovery, and things that were previously not allowed to be filmed can now be put on the screen.
Of course, it was only after he learned from Hwang Jung-min that he was going to shoot "The Biography of Chun Doo-hwan" (later renamed "Seoul Spring") that he went to find director Han Jae-rim (director of "The Face Reader" and "The King") and showed him the script of "The Biography of Kim Dae-jung".
At first, Han Zairin didn't want to accept it.
The film market in the peninsula is so small that this kind of biographical film is not popular at all. Except for older people, young people simply don't buy it.
But when he saw the scene in the script where the old Kim Dae-jung and the young Kim Dae-jung had a dialogue across time and space, he was immediately attracted.
This kind of biographical film with fantasy elements was the first time he had seen it.
Since the span from youth to old age is huge and extremely challenging for the actors' acting skills, the director initially wanted to use two actors to perform the role.
The youth to middle age were played by Kim Ki-hyeon, and the old age of Kim Dae-jung was played by Lee Sung-min.
As a result, Jin Qixuan performed the role of Kim Dae-jung in his later years for him on the spot.
Both the appearance and the tone of voice are 80% similar to the real Kim Dae-jung.
This time, Han Zailin was completely convinced.
After the movie is released.
The box office was unexpectedly good, and the number of moviegoers exceeded 10 million in just one month.
This is also the third film in the Peninsula film market to have over 10 million viewers since the epidemic, and it is also the first film in 2024 to have over 10 million viewers.
After that, the nominees for the 60th Baeksang Awards for Best Actor were all Kim Ki-hyun's old rivals.
Hwang Jung-min, Jung Woo-sung, Lee Byung-hun, Choi Min-sik.
So far, the five actors nominated for Best Actor have all won two or more Best Actor trophies.
In fact, it wouldn’t be surprising no matter who wins the Best Actor award.
After all, these five are among the top few in terms of acting skills and qualifications.
However, except for Kim Ki-hyun and Hwang Jung-min, the other three have won the Baeksang Arts Award for Best Actor.
