Chapter 177: A Not-so-Ordinary Press Conference
When the host said "three", Jin Qixuan raised his head, and a cold look flashed in his eyes, but the coldness disappeared in a flash, and Jin Qixuan returned to his gentle appearance.

"Oh, did the reporters take pictures? I just saw a lot of reporters were shocked. Wow, it's really great!"

Faced with the host's praise, Jin Qixuan smiled shyly.

"In order to ensure that Jin Qixuan's practice will not be in vain, let's confirm that look in person at the cinema on January 1~Okay, let's ask Han Hyo Jooxi again."

"Inside."

Seeing this, Han Hyo Joo picked up the microphone and put it to her mouth, waiting for questions.

"Han Hyo Joo xi mentioned earlier when she was talking about choosing a work that she had never acted in a work with so many fighting scenes before. I watched the trailer before the press conference, and it started with a very capable 180-degree high leg lift. I really want to know if you did it yourself or with a stunt double?"

"We didn't use a double for any of the movements, we did them all ourselves. And I'm a model, so I'm pretty flexible. I've been stretching over the years, and luckily I was able to use it here. So maybe everything a person does feels meaningful (laughs), I'm still pretty lucky."

"You are so modest! We all know that no matter how good you are at sports, languages ​​or musical instruments, it is still difficult to start over. Because it is a fresh start, we all feel that this is your hard work. Oh, Jin Qixuanxi is also nodding, and your knee kick in the trailer is also surprising. Did you do it directly in the movie?"

Jin Qixuan nodded and said, "Yes."

"Qixuanxi is digesting the movements arranged by the martial arts instructor very well."

Han Hyo Joo praised from the side.

"Okay, then I hope everyone is looking forward to the fighting scenes of the two actors. Then we will ask the director some questions next."

The host looked at Lin Runze and asked:
"Because this is a work with an original work, you should try hard to find actors who match the original characters. So what are the aspects of Jin Qixuanxi and Han Xiaozhouxi that make you feel that they are a high match and why you chose them?"

Lin Runze turned his head and glanced at the two of them, chuckled and said:

"Don't you think they are exactly the same as the original? Looks, heights, personalities, they are almost the same."

Then, Lin Runze praised the two of them:
"And they are both very handsome, their acting skills are also very good, and their eyes are especially great. It is a great honor to be able to film this work with them."

The host concluded:
"You mean that both actors conveyed the dialogue and portrayed the characters through their eyes. They are very good actors."

"Yes, they performed very well. When we were shooting on the spot, I was sometimes so immersed in their acting that I even forgot to call for stop."

"Wow, the atmosphere is so warm right now. In the movie, the two main actors are at loggerheads with each other. But once they say "cut", the relationship between the two is very harmonious, right? Director, who witnessed the scene, please tell us about their cooperation?"

Lin Runze tilted his head and looked at the two of them, recalling for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Well...they have a very good relationship...Of course, all actors have a very good relationship when filming a movie. Especially our Han Hyo Joo and Qi Xuan have such a good relationship that sometimes I even worry that it will cause difficulties in filming."

"Well, the director himself confirmed the close relationship between the two actors, and now he is more and more interested in the film. I know that both actors have trained physically for the roles and put in a lot of effort. Including the filming time, the two of you have been training for about four months, right?"

Han Hyo Joo shook her head and spoke honestly:
"Well... I can't say that I worked very hard, I can only say that my foundation might be too poor. Because if you want to be in a movie, you have to go through training. Because Qixuan and I trained together, but I found that the teacher only arranged for me to do the training most of the time.

Han Xiaozhou smiled embarrassedly and continued:

"I'm actually embarrassed to say this. I was so tired that I wanted to vomit. So I asked the teacher why I was the only one who had to do so much training. The teacher answered very straightforwardly..."

The host asked curiously, "Oh? What did the teacher say?"

"He said: Because your foundation is too poor, you need to improve your physical strength. Then when I was watching Qixuan training, I felt that we were at different levels. I felt that Xiao Shimin would definitely lose to Han Xiugang. Watching Qixuan training at that time, I felt stimulated, and slowly I got better."

After that, the host applauded and began to preach:
"We know that in order to show her acting skills perfectly in front of the camera, Han Hyo Joo has put in a lot of effort and is almost vomiting. Sometimes she feels that she has reached a critical point and will have to practice any more. When she is so serious, it is no longer just learning. We have to say that our actress Han Hyo Joo is very dedicated and has made efforts beyond these."

"No no……"

Han Hyo Joo felt a little embarrassed by the compliments and kept waving her hands.

"Okay, then Han Hyo Joo xi can take a break first, and our Qixuan xi can also talk about physical strength."

"Ok."

"I know that Jin Qixuan is an actor who loves sports because of his uncle (laughs), and he has made a lot of preparations for this work. I have another piece of information here. I heard that your ability is enough to design action routes with the action director. Is it true?"

Jin Qixuan said modestly:

"No... I haven't reached that level yet. It's just that the action director jokingly asked me to give it a try and gave me the opportunity, so I tried it."

"Did the action director adopt your suggestion?"

Jin Qixuan nodded: "I accept it."

"Then it's true."

"It's not about designing the action route together, it's just..."

Before Jin Qixuan finished speaking, Han Xiaozhou interrupted him and said:

"The action was designed by Qixuan."

"No no……"

Jin Qixuan quickly pushed Han Hyo Joo and explained incoherently while waving his hands.

How this thing performs within the crew is a private matter that happens behind closed doors.

If I tell it out, it's inevitable that someone with ulterior motives will exaggerate the matter and use it to blame Jin Qixuan, which would be counterproductive.

The most important thing is that it feels a bit like overpraising.

After all, actors just need to do their job well.

However, the host really enjoyed seeing Jin Qixuan's embarrassed look and joked:
"It seems like our actor Qixuan can make his debut as an action director."

Han Hyo Joo also liked to see Kim Kye Hyun's embarrassed look, and she laughed "Hahahaha" without any scruples, which made Kim Kye Hyun push her several times without paying attention to the reporters taking pictures.

Seeing the two joking and playing like siblings, the host said with a smile:

"It seems like the two of you have a really good relationship. But in the movie, the two of you seem to communicate more with your fists than with words. How is your cooperation?"

"Qixuan did a great job. I'm just a rookie. During training, I was able to do it because I had a teacher around me. But when it came to the actual filming, I got a little nervous and my mind went blank. My body just reacted passively. I don't know much about the relevant knowledge. For example, hitting from the side may look more like being beaten in front of the camera, but I only know how to throw straight punches, or I really hit the opponent."

Han Xiaozhou described it vividly and gestured to Jin Qixuan twice:

"But Qixuan is very good at dodging and taking beatings, and his acting skills in taking beatings are simply amazing. What I feel very happy about is that I just hit Qixuan lightly and he was knocked over there. The subsequent filming was very good, and it looked like I was really strong, so I was very happy. This is all thanks to our Qixuan, our action director~"

After saying that, Han Hyo Joo patted Kim Ki-hyeon's arm with a smile.

"It seems that Han Hyo Joo is really teasing Kim Ki Xuan and now gives all the credit to Kim Ki Xuan. What does our Ki Xuan think of the action and acting coordination with Han Hyo Joo?" "Very good. I was shocked a lot of the time. We have been training together since practice time. She is more diligent than me in coming up with new ideas every day. So she is a very enthusiastic actor and senior. In order to make Han Hyo Joo look more handsome in front of the camera, I also cooperated and got beaten up."

"Well, please look forward to an action movie with both story and expression, and the three people who have done their best in their respective positions. For this, we have prepared a simple "Brave Citizen" awarding ceremony."

Lin Runze:?

Han Hyo Joo: ? ?
Jin Qixuan: ???

The three of them looked at each other, all confused.

"First, please ask Han Hyo Jooxi to come to the center of the stage!"

"Ah, guilty."

Han Hyo Joo put down the microphone, stood up and walked to the center of the stage.

"Brave Action Award. Han Hyo Joo used her patented artificial acting skills and martial arts to deal a heavy blow to the bad guy. This award is given as a token of appreciation, and the bouquet is also presented."

As he spoke, the reporter handed over a certificate and a bouquet of flowers.

"Next, please pose in front of the reporter."

Han Hyo Joo held a bouquet of flowers and a certificate and made a fighting gesture towards the reporters.

"Very good, look more natural, the reporters are taking pictures, very good. Now please perform again with a contrived smile~"

Han Hyo Joo squinted her eyes, waved at the camera, and showed a sweet and artificial smile. Finally, she covered her face in embarrassment.

At this time, the flash lights in the audience kept flashing "click, click".

"Okay, then it's Kim Ki-Hyun next, please step forward. Han Hyo-Joo, please wait a moment, there is only one bouquet, please exchange it back."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

This funny thing made the three of them laugh so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

Then, Jin Qixuan accepted an informal award ceremony.

"Okay, Jin Qixuanxi, please make a fierce expression. Yes, a bit fiercer!"

Jin Qixuan couldn't take this unorthodox ceremony seriously at all, and his expression was silly...

Fortunately, the host did not embarrass him again. After Jin Qixuan took the photo, the host said again:
"Okay, please hand the bouquet back."

"a ha ha ha……"

……

……

The award ceremony of Happy Lives has ended and this press conference is drawing to a close.

"Okay, this is the happy and joyful awarding ceremony for the "Brave Citizens". Now I will pass the microphone to the reporters present. Are you all curious about the "Brave Citizens"? Please raise your hands if you have questions. The staff here will pass the microphone to you."

After the host finished speaking, the reporters in the audience raised their hands.

Then the staff handed the microphone to a female reporter.

"Hello, I'm reporter Liu from Seoul Sports, nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to this movie. I want to ask actor Kim Ki-hyeon, Han Hyo-jooxi said that your acting in the play is very good when you get beaten. I've done it before, does it hurt when you get beaten? Also, please tell me what you think about your debut as an action director this time."

"Hahaha……"

Apparently, the reporters also started playing around with the "action director" meme on the set.

As the originator of the hot topic, the host quickly explained:
"Reporter, I was just joking, but this joke is a bit too much!"

After the host finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter again.

Jin Qixuan also laughed for a while, then picked up the microphone and explained:
"Both the acting of hitting someone and the acting of being hit are difficult. The key to the acting of being hit is to keep a close eye on the direction and speed of the fist. Turning your head when you see the fist coming will look more realistic than turning your head quickly."

"So you get nervous when you stare at your fist?"

"Normally speaking, it's agreed that your fists won't hit me."

The host was very good at reading comprehension, and followed up on Jin Qixuan's question and asked, "What about speaking abnormally?"

"To put it in an abnormal way, I just got punched several times."

"Does it hurt?"

Feeling Han Hyo Joo's threatening gaze, Jin Qixuan changed his words and said insincerely:

"Emm...it doesn't hurt. After all, Han Hyo Joo has a cotton fist."

"Even a cotton fist would hurt after four months of training."

The host explained with some concern.

Jin Qixuan shook his head and explained:
"Because it all happened during serious filming, it's actually a good thing. This way, you can feel each other's rhythm and gradually form cooperation."

"Ah, it seems that being an action actor is not easy. I was just joking about Jin Qixuan's debut as an action director. This is the action design route that I planned and was adopted. What do you think?"

Jin Qixuan raised his hand and praised:
"Watching the action director at work, I feel that I am far inferior to him. He is just too good. So I am really happy that my action design was adopted by him. I feel that I also have such talent."

"So are you going to develop in this direction in the future? Will you have a goal to work harder in the future?"

Jin Qixuan smiled awkwardly: "Uh... I guess I have to be more careful with what I say next time. (Laughs) In fact, people can always dream, and there will always be a day like that."

"Ah, yes. I can feel the actors' sincerity in action scenes. Reporters who still have questions, please raise your hands. Ah, this reporter, please wait a moment."

As he spoke, the host directed the staff in the direction where the reporters should raise their hands.

"Hello, I'm reporter Zheng from News 24. I'd like to ask Kim Ki-Hyun-xi, what do you think about Kim Jong-Kook-xi being announced to leave RM?"
