Chapter 175 The Weight of Han Xiaozhou's Punch (Happy New Year's Eve to Everyone)

"In the beginning, I was a little reluctant to take on this role. Because Han Xiugang is so bad. He is a born bad guy and he enjoys abusing others."

The host asked with deep sympathy:

"Do you think your character is too bad and your acting is too impressive, and you're afraid you'll be beaten up on the street after the movie is released? Or criticized? I've had this experience before."

Jin Qixuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's why I didn't tell my family that I acted in this movie. I feel like I may have to wear a mask and a hat when I go out for a while."

"So what made you decide to act in it?"

"In fact, this movie is very meaningful. I was moved by its connotation (pay)."

Then, Jin Qixuan asked the male host: "I think if someone asks you if you are a brave person, you won't answer it readily, right?"

The two hosts nodded in sync.

"Incidents of school bullying are common, but few people stand up to stop it. Most people just pretend not to see it. So I want everyone to feel refreshed after watching the movie. If everyone can bravely raise their voices of resistance, the world will become a better place. This is the original intention of this movie."

"Clap clap clap..."

After Jin Qixuan finished speaking, the two hosts applauded.

"It's really a good intention. Let me give you a carrot first."

"Oh? Thank you very much."

Jin Qixuan stood up and took the carrot doll with both hands.

Then, the four of them looked at the TV.

At this time, a trailer for "Brave Citizens" was played on TV, and the first thing that appeared on the screen was a freeze frame of Han Hyo-joo raising his legs high.

Seeing this, the male host asked Han Hyo Joo:
"Han Hyo Joo, is this action of yours a tribute to Yang Ziqiong? Did you want to give the audience this feeling from the beginning?"

Han Hyo Joo explained with a smile:
"Because girls are definitely much weaker than boys, they use their legs as weapons, which are 3 to 4 times more powerful than their fists."

"Han Hyo Joo's body looks very flexible. Did you practice this movement deliberately?"

Jin Qixuan interrupted and explained:

"In fact, it's not just about being flexible, you also need to have the strength to lift your legs up. Han Hyo Joo suffered a lot for this."

"Oh? Can you show it live?"

"of course."

Han Hyo Joo didn't hesitate. As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and walked to the open space.

With a "swoosh" sound, Han Hyo Joo suddenly raised her legs to a horizontal position of almost 180 degrees and paused for three seconds.

Although her expression was dull, Jin Qixuan could see that she was quite proud.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Great..."

Facing the praise from the two hosts, Han Hyo Joo smiled and sat back in her chair as if she had done something normal.

"Can Jin Qixuanxi do the same thing as before?"

"I can't lift it as high as 180 degrees, but about 120 degrees is still fine."

It is said that ever since Jin Qixuan established himself in the fashion magazine circle, those dancers have stopped practicing their basic skills.

However, despite this, Jin Qixuan is still much more flexible than a normal muscular man.

After the voice fell, Jin Qixuan also stood up, walked to the open space, and suddenly raised his legs to about 120 degrees.

Jin Qixuan's own pants are of very good quality, and there will be no embarrassing incident of the crotch being torn apart when he raises his legs high.

"Wow, that kick looks really powerful!"

"Thanks……"

Jin Qixuan put down his legs, thanked him modestly, and sat back in his chair.

After the small talk, the host started the main topic of this program:

"First of all, our promotional meeting this time is to rate the freshness of the movie. Five carrots is a full score, and one has just been delivered."

Jin Qixuan and Han Xiaozhou nodded simultaneously and said in unison: "Yes, it must be a perfect score!"

After saying this, the two of them thought they had telepathy and looked at each other in surprise, then laughed at the same time.

In fact, their goals are similar.

Han Hyo Joo mainly wants to make a comeback with this movie.

At the age of 26, she won the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Actress for her role in "Secretly Watching", which is the dream of countless Korean actresses, and she also has her own place in Chungmuro.

It was also in that year that Han Hyo Joo, who had both acting skills and resources, reached the pinnacle of her life.

But soon, she hit rock bottom.

In 14, Han Hyo-joo's younger brother, as an Air Force lieutenant, was suspected of having a direct relationship with the suicide of a subordinate, and there may have been a case of bullying in the military.

Although it was finally ruled that the soldier's suicide had nothing to do with Han Hyo-joo's brother and was caused by his own lack of stress resistance and depression, it still caused strong dissatisfaction among the public.

After all, Han Hyo-joo's father is a former senior air force officer, so no one would be surprised if he had manipulated the sentencing process.

Later, some people discovered that searching for Han Hyo Joo's brother on the Naver search engine would automatically switch to other content, which seemed to suggest that the privileged class was trying to cover up their crimes.

This further aroused the anger of netizens, and Han Hyo Joo's silent attitude of refusing to respond also made many netizens very disappointed in her, setting off a wave of boycotting Han Hyo Joo.

Meanwhile, before his brother's scandal had subsided, his boss Lee Byung-hun was involved in another sensational sex scandal.

Han Hyo Joo also remained silent about her boss' scandal, which caused netizens to become increasingly dissatisfied with her and affected her subsequent career development.

But put yourself in their shoes. If I were Han Hyo Joo, what would I say when faced with such a situation?

It was not my fault, and the people who got into trouble were all very close to me. It seems inappropriate to express my opinion, and it is better to remain silent.

It is normal for popular stars to be quickly boycotted and their popularity to decline due to certain negative events.

Many actors in Peninsula have had similar experiences.

Actors with resources and strong acting skills will respond with their most outstanding works at different stages of their lives, consolidate their position in the entertainment industry, and regain the audience's love for them.

But actors without resources and background will be lost in the crowd.

Perhaps it is the gold rush of the big waves, and those who can come out of the trough will most likely become stronger.

For an actor, having works gives him confidence. Other things are also important, but not as important.

Therefore, all Han Hyo Joo can do now is to seize the opportunity again and regain the audience's love with her works.

Speaking of which, her starring role in "W Two Worlds" in the second half of the year has helped to improve her popularity, but if she wants to make a complete comeback, she still has to rely on the big screen.

Therefore, she was not at all vague when it came to acting coquettishly, acting cute and pitiful, and raising her legs to show her flexibility and strength, and she did it without any baggage.

As long as someone buys advance tickets because of her actions, it will be well worth it.

But for Jin Qixuan, this is a long and arduous road, and he wants to have a good start on the big screen.

"First of all, the novelty of this work is that it is a real female action movie. And in our country's film works, it has been a long time since there have been female characters with such a strong sense of impact. This is quite new. Please accept a carrot."

"Ah~ Thank you~"

Han Hyo Joo smiled sweetly, stood up and took the carrot doll with both hands.

Then the hostess said:
"I think actress Han Hyo Joo has now become a synonym. There are some synonyms that symbolize her. After this movie, everyone can see her comprehensive gift set. Her various charms can be presented in this movie, so I will give a carrot too." "Oh! Thank you~"

Han Hyo Joo smiled sweetly again and took the carrot doll with both hands.

Jin Qixuan stood beside her and clapped his hands to congratulate her.

"Also, I want to say something about the freshness of actor Jin Qixuan."

"Inside."

Jin Qixuan looked at the male host.

"In recent film and television works, there are really a lot of themes about school violence. Many actors have participated in the competition for villains, but I think the final winner of this villain competition is this person."

"Oppa, why don't you look at Jin Qixuanxi and say that? He is not a bad person!"

When Jin Qixuan saw the male host tilting his head and carefully handing him the carrot doll, he burst into laughter.

This brother is so funny.

"Oppa, didn't he steal something from you in the bathroom?"

Seeing this, the female host joked.

"That's not the case, but when Jin Qixuanxi went to the bathroom, I waited outside for a while before going in. It would have been too scary if it was just him and me in there."

"Pfft hahaha..."

Now even Han Hyo Joo burst out laughing.

"'Brave Citizens' can be said to be a fantasy film that is very close to life and very vivid. Is there an original work for this?"

"Yes, it's a popular work that is serialized in Naver webtoon. The story is very simple, it's about the weak protagonist punishing the bad guys."

After that, Jin Qixuan continued to explain:
"The audience may think that the original webtoon is just a storyboard script, so it should be easy to film. But in fact, comics and movie scripts are works of completely different natures. Because some things with dramatic stories must be changed."

Han Hyo Joo nodded, took over the conversation, and said:

"Yes, the director also discussed it with us. For example, why Han Xiugang became so bad, his past or psychological trauma. Later, these clips were all deleted by the director because he didn't want to give him any reason to gain sympathy just because he is handsome."

"And on the set, the director kept brainwashing Qi Xuanxi, saying: You are a devil, you are a born bad seed, and you absolutely cannot be sympathized by anyone..."

Hearing this, the female host put her hand to her lips and said quietly:

"If it was Jin Qixuan, he could be sympathized with..."

“Haha…thank you…”

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan smiled and thanked the female host for her compliment.

"Speaking of which, how did Han Hyo Jooxi want to play this role?"

"I was on vacation in New Zealand when I received an offer for a script from Director Lin. He called me and said he had tailor-made a movie for me and that I had to be the heroine. After I read the script, I flew back overnight."

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan began to mutter in his heart.

He actually wanted to see what Han Hyo Joo's expression would be if she knew that Lim Dae Jun didn't want this role.

"But judging from her appearance, Han Hyo Joo xi looks so soft that she wouldn't even move a finger, let alone hit anyone."

Han Hyo Joo gave Kim Ki-hyeon a look, indicating that he should explain.

After all, it's a bit embarrassing to praise yourself.

"Director Lin is my classmate. He told me that Han Hyo Joo xi is exactly the same as the original. Because she is very tall, her long legs look very stylish when she kicks people. And Han Hyo Joo xi's image is very pure. The director also thinks that the audience can look forward to her reversal charm."

"I am indeed looking forward to the release of the film, but I saw a very smooth fighting scene in the (second version) trailer. Did you really fight during the filming?"

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan turned and looked at Han Hyo Joo.

After looking at Kim Ki-hyun, the memories of the filming instantly flooded into her mind. Han Hyo-joo smiled embarrassedly, raised her hand to support her forehead, and put her hand on the table to avoid Kim Ki-hyun's gaze.

Seeing this, the male host smiled and said:

"It looks like Jin Qixuanxi was beaten."

"Yes, because it was Han Hyo Joo's first time to act in this kind of scene, she was a little excited during the filming, and the power suddenly increased. Sometimes she couldn't control the strength, maybe seven or eight times, and it was really painful at that time."

"Really?"

Seeing the male host's disbelief, Jin Qixuan explained:
"Really? Don't be fooled by Han Hyo Joo's delicate appearance. She can bench press 40KG! We were both training in the gym before filming. Her peak strength was recorded as 8800 points on the boxing machine. You can imagine how I felt when I was hit by her full-strength punch. There were a few times when I seemed to see my great grandfather..."

Seeing that Jin Qixuan had revealed all his past, Han Xiaozhou slapped Jin Qixuan coquettishly and complained:

"Oh, stop talking like this. How am I going to get married in the future?"

"Hahaha……"

The camera crew and hosts in the room were all laughing.

"I feel sorry for Jin Qixuanxi for getting beaten so much. I want to give him a carrot."

"Oh? Thank you so much!!!"

Jin Qixuan immediately stood up and took the radish.

"After talking for so long, we are very interested in this movie. We will also make a short video for you to promote the movie."

The female host mercilessly said:

"That's why they came on the show."

"Yes, this is the most important thing. Now that the show is coming to an end, let's shoot a four-grid video according to tradition!"

"Ok."

Han Hyo Joo and Kim Kye Hyun stood up and walked to the photo booth in the corner of the room, posing for the photos:

In the first move, the two men assumed fighting stances.

The second move is to make a heart shape with your thumbs.

The third movement is to make scissors shape with your hands.

In the fourth action, Han Hyo Joo punched Kim Kye Heon’s face, and Kim Kye Heon made a painful expression.

After taking the four-grid photo, everyone returned to their seats to record the final segment.

"Today, the carrot index of "Brave Citizens" is five out of five."

The crowd applauded.

Then, Jin Qixuan waved his arm and said:

"January 18th."

Everyone in the room said in unison:

"I am also a "Brave Citizen"!"

"Wow~"

"Clap clap clap..."

After the recording was over, Kim Ki-hyun and Han Hyo-joo thanked the host, PD and staff for their hard work one by one.

After that, continue to the next promotional tour.
