Chapter 247 If it is a loss of money, then you can only eat Lao Jin

Chapter 247 If I lose money, I can only rely on my pension

In a blink of an eye, most of their schedule at the B&B had already passed.

It's almost the end of the month.

Both employees are going to take leave that day.

It was hard for Lee Hyori and her husband who had to entertain four groups of guests alone.

IU is going to America with her family to attend her brother-in-law's graduation ceremony.

Jin Qixuan had to rush back to school to take his final exam.

Both trips lasted three days.

The difference is that it takes Lee Ji-eun a total of one day to go back and forth.

Jin Qixuan will take exams in different subjects during these three days.

You have to take leave, but you still have to record.

The two were asked by PD Zheng to use their mobile phones or cameras to record several itinerary videos during this period, which would be edited into the broadcast later.

Lee Ji-eun did not fly directly to the United States from Jeju Island Airport, but returned to Seoul to meet up with her parents first.

After the two finished recording their respective videos at Incheon Airport, Li Zhien turned around and asked, "Do you want to meet my dad?"

"I really want to meet you. But time is tight and I don't have time to say a few words. Let's wait until the next formal meeting."

"Ok."

"But..." Jin Qixuan stretched out his hand and pinched her elastic face, and said with a smile: "Don't forget to bring good things to my father-in-law."

"Got it." Li Zhien raised her hand and slapped Jin Qixuan's hand away, saying dissatisfiedly: "Stop pinching, my face is going to be swollen because of you."

Jin Qixuan didn't care about her shirking of responsibility. He held her face in his hands and rubbed it again, saying, "By the way, I prepared a graduation gift for Zhong Xun. I'll give it to you when I get off the plane."

Li Zhien asked curiously: "What gift?"

“Keaton’s couture.”

"A suit?" Li Zhien thought about what Li Zhongxun usually wore and said, "He can't wear it either."

"Just because he can't wear it now doesn't mean he can't wear it in the future. For example, in interviews, dates, attending classmates' weddings and other formal occasions, this suit can add a lot of points to him."

Li Zhien said "Oh", and then said: "It would be great if you could go too."

"Video then."

"Ah."

……

The plane landed at Incheon Airport.

Jin Qixuan took the clothes handed to him by Sheng Bingxu and handed them to Li Zhien.

Then I took a nanny car to school for the exam.

On the way, looking at the tall buildings in Seoul, Jin Qixuan also felt as if he was in another world.

The exam schedule is undisclosed.

So when Jin Qixuan appeared at the school, he quickly caused a sensation.

Jin Qixuan is extremely popular in school.

On the one hand, he is the school's publicity ambassador. No matter whether he is a freshman or an old student, everyone has seen his face.

On the other hand, he is also the actor with the highest social influence among the current students of Central University.

It is considered the face of Central University.

In summary, Jin Qixuan will be the "golden signboard" used by Central University for enrollment in the next few years.

Although it is a "golden signboard".

But the school did not give Jin Qixuan any special treatment.

The only preferential treatment he gets is that he can take online classes and it will be counted as attendance.

When the photo of Jin Qixuan appearing in school was uploaded to SNS by alumni, it became a hot topic in a short while.

Therefore, after Jin Qixuan finished the exam, Sheng Bingxu took him to meet director Lu Xiangxiao.

Speaking of which, this film has not yet been approved.

The main reason is that the four major film companies did not quite approve of Lu Xiangxiao's script.

This kind of art film has never been a box office hit since ancient times. Every time it is made, it loses money and no one is optimistic about it.

They were not targeting Jin Qixuan.

In this kind of art film, no matter whether it is Sol Kyung-gu, Ha Jung-woo, Choi Min-sik, or Song Kang-ho, the acting is not good and it is an absolute flop.

This is the result of the blood and tears of our stubborn predecessors.

What audiences really want to watch in cinemas are 3D special effects blockbusters and fist-pumping action movies.

For this kind of art film, they prefer to spend a few dollars to watch it online.

After a series of setbacks, Lu Xiangxiao changed the original script and added many classic Korean comedy plots.

Therefore, before he looked for investment in the second round, he let Jin Qixuan take a look at his updated script.

The original script was about a pair of disabled brothers who supported each other and shared hardships, which was a rather heavy subject.

But when Jin Qixuan saw the updated script, he laughed out loud several times.

The "Home of Responsibility" in which the story is set is a welfare home founded with donations from the public.

Those who live here are physically disabled children whose parents have passed away or who have been abandoned by their families.

Later, the priest who was in charge of running the orphanage died.

With no leader, the welfare home’s staff wanted to leave one after another and the home was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Se-ha wants to avoid being separated from his brother Dong-gu, with whom he has lived for more than 20 years.

He then started to have evil thoughts and began to scam people to make money.

There are a series of ridiculous plots, including bargaining for sympathy, providing volunteer service certificates for a fee, lying on the ground pretending to be sick, and crying about staff bullying the disabled.

The high-level paraplegic level of fraud, coupled with the perfect cooperation of a real mentally retarded person, the effect of defrauding money is simply amazing.

After reading the script, Jin Qixuan gave Lu Xiangxiao a thumbs up and said, "I think there is absolutely no problem with this script. Well, I'll go with you."

"it is good!"

Jin Qixuan's recognition also gave Lu Xiangxiao confidence.

Afterwards, the two drove to NEW Film Production Company.

At the conference table, Lu Xiangxiao handed the plan and the new script to the relevant person in charge.

Then, Jin Qixuan and Lu Xiangxiao waited quietly for him to finish reading.

To be honest, this feeling of waiting to be judged is not a very good one.

After a while, the person in charge put down the plan and the script, considered the wording, and said:
"I personally like and appreciate the revised script. The hilarious story between the two brothers is very interesting. I believe that Jin Qixuanxi and Li Guangzhuxi can also produce good chemistry."

Before Lu Xiangxiao could show his joy, the person in charge changed the subject: "But... it does not meet the company's investment standards."

"what……"

Lu Xiangxiao could not hide his disappointment on his face, but he still stood up and bowed to express his gratitude for his willingness to take the time to read the script.

Not only NEW, but when I went to CJ and BOX later, they all expressed their pessimism about the script of this theme.

The major film trends in the past two years have been disaster and crime themes, and the timeless Korean romance movies are also acceptable.

But... a movie like "My First Brother" which is warm, healing and has a heavy subject matter, to be honest, will not make much waves.

The best you can do is just recoup your investment, but it is difficult to make a profit.

So this kind of movie is a meaningless investment for them.

This is the result of current market research.

Seeing that his new movie was about to go to waste, Jin Qixuan became a little anxious.

This movie had to be made as it involved his transformation on the big screen.

Therefore, Jin Qixuan counted the money in his pocket and asked:

"Director Lu, what is the budget for our film?"

"50 billion." Lu Xiangxiao handed the plan to Jin Qixuan.

Jin Qixuan took the plan and looked through it for a while.

It's written in quite detail.

It includes the budget costs for the photography team, stylist team, costumes and props, shooting location, publicity and promotion, and the two male protagonists, etc.

At the end is a more detailed character list.

"How about..." Jin Qixuan thought for a while and said, "I'll invest in it, right?" As he spoke, Jin Qixuan's tone became firm. He patted his chest and said, "Director Lu, I've invested in this movie! If there's any loss, it's mine. Just go for it!"

In fact, Jin Qixuan was very confident that the movie he starred in could make money.

But after a series of setbacks at the four major film companies, Jin Qixuan's originally firm belief began to waver.

He was able to attract many candidates with spare money to invest.

However, since the four film companies are not optimistic about the script, those who can invest may not necessarily be optimistic about it either.

After all, people nowadays are very smart, and cases like Taeyeon being cheated out of 10 billion are still rare.

If you force people to invest, it would be a betrayal of their trust.

At the very least, diplomatic relations will be severed, and the case may even end up in court.

So Jin Qixuan thought for a moment and decided to do it himself.

Calculated according to the account-sharing model.

The film needs to reach a box office of at least 150 million viewers to break even, and anything above that to be profitable.

In fact, it is not that easy to achieve a box office of 150 million moviegoers.

The Peninsula film industry produces approximately one hundred films every year.

Among them, on average, there are only five or six films a year that have over 500 million viewers.

Movies with less than 100 million viewers accounted for 80%.

So, for Jin Qixuan, this is a venture capital venture in which he gambles his entire fortune.

He does have 5 billion.

It was just that he was preparing to pay back the money to Lee Ji-eun.

He didn't dare to guarantee that the movie would make money. After all, he had just encountered setbacks at the four major film companies, and Jin Qixuan was a little unsure.

Therefore, he did not plan to let Lee Ji-eun invest and decided to take the risk himself.

After all, even brothers will fall out over money, and Jin Qixuan doesn't want to create any rifts in his relationship with Lee Ji-eun because of money.

If you make money, everyone is happy.

If he loses money, Jin Qixuan's debt will reach a new height.

In the future, he can only stop bitching about Kim Jong Kook...

When Lu Xiangxiao heard that Jin Qixuan wanted to vote himself, he was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

The scripts he had worked so hard on were not favored by major film companies and he encountered repeated setbacks.

Jin Qixuan's words undoubtedly ignited the little spark of hope in his heart.

Isn’t this a ray of hope?
As the saying goes, there are always good horses, but there are few good horse trainers.

Therefore, Jin Qixuan's image in his heart became taller and taller...

But in fact, Jin Qixuan was not as sacred as he imagined.

First of all, he must be considering his own interests.

If the transformation is successful, the future profits will definitely far exceed the value of 5 billion.

Besides, he felt that the movie wouldn't necessarily be a flop.

After all, being timid before the battle is a taboo in military strategy.

Afterwards, the two held a simple meeting in the car.

With his identity changed, Jin Qixuan has a lot more things to consider.

For example, as a producer, Jin Qixuan plans to ask his mentor to put his name on the list.

After all, my mentor is a member of the Qinglong jury, and his reputation is very famous!
Then you can become an assistant director and gain some experience.

If you can't continue working as an actor, you can switch to being a director in the future.

The camera team will naturally be the original crew of "Brave Citizens", and they will also be Jin Qixuan's future team.

We went to the same school and know each other well.

He discussed with Lu Xiangxiao about the costumes, styling team, shooting locations, supporting actors and other items.

They talked until nearly nine o'clock, and after the contract was drafted, Jin Qixuan had to leave.

He is also going to participate in a Naver live broadcast of "Bukhan Party".

It will be released next week, and this live broadcast is the final promotional warm-up for the movie.

Originally, Jin Qixuan was not scheduled to attend.

Just then, the director happened to be checking SNS and found that he was back.

So I invited him to come along.

When Xue Jingqiu saw Jin Qixuan, his brows immediately frowned and he said, "Qixuan, are you sick?"

Jin Qixuan was stunned: "Sick? No, I look pretty good, don't I?"

"Then why did you lose so much weight?"

"Ah..." Jin Qixuan suddenly realized and said, "I lost weight for the role in the new movie."

"A new movie?" Xue Jingqiu asked curiously, "When will it be filmed? Do you want me to play a cameo role?"

"That's great!" Jin Qixuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "It will start filming in early July. Are you available?"

There are actually many roles that Sol Kyung-gu can play as a guest star.

For example, the priest in the orphanage, or Shihe's uncle, or even the presiding judge in the court.

"No problem, call me when the time comes!"

Jin Qixuan said cheerfully, "Hey, brother, thank you so much! Would you like to have a drink after we finish?"

In fact, there are many ways to enhance relationships, but drinking is undoubtedly the most direct and convenient one.

Xue Jingqiu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Let's drink next time. Your sister-in-law asked me to go home early today."

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan teased, "Brother, are you afraid of your sister-in-law?"

"You're kidding, who am I? Would I be afraid of her? I'm just showing respect!"

"Hahaha……"

……

At 11 o'clock at night, the Naver live broadcast ended.

Kim Ki-hyeon said goodbye to Sol Kyung-gu, Kim Hee-won, Director Bian and others.

Speaking of which, it feels great to lie down on my own big bed after a long time~

Jin Qixuan rolled around on the bed a few times.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

I picked it up and saw it was Jung Eun-ji.

"Hey, what does it mean to have read but not replied?"

Jin Qixuan was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Ah," and said, "I thought I replied. Sorry, I was interrupted by a phone call at that time."

"Then will you come?"

Jung Eun-ji called Kim Ki-hyeon to invite him to attend her concert.

This is her first small-scale concert since her solo career, which is of great significance.

The venue is the auditorium of Ewha Womans University, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people.

The dates are June 6rd and 3th.

At this time, Jin Qixuan was on the roadshow for "The Untamed".

But it's rare for the other person to ask, so Jin Qixuan has to agree.

Besides, it’s not far away.

Kim Ki-Hyun didn't go to Do Kyung-Soo's EXO concert because they were touring in the Land of Sakura, which was too far away...

"I will definitely go after my showcase is over!"

"Then it's a deal, if you don't come you're a puppy."

"Um……"
