Chapter 352 Goodbye Yanzu
three days later.

Zheng Haoyan was finally relieved after receiving the official notification from "Squid Game" that she was successfully admitted.

Then, he began to learn the basic skills of acting from his "teacher" Li Donghui.

the other side.

The media preview and VIP preview of "The Evil Dead" came to a successful conclusion.

The four main creative staff are about to set off for the 72nd Cannes Film Festival.

Originally, Jin Qixuan wanted to take them on his private plane.

But unfortunately, this is a medium-sized business jet and the number of people it can carry is limited.

Once my team goes up, it’s basically full.

Therefore, Ma Dongxi and others could only follow the flight miserably.

Ever since enjoying the convenience brought by a private jet, Jin Qixuan has completely fallen in love with it.

It has nothing to do with pretending to be cool or establishing a personal image.

Although, private jets are indeed a badge of wealth, success and social status.

But for Jin Qixuan, its main function is efficiency and convenience, saving time and making more money.

The so-called private jet.

The private part is not just that only your own people can discuss confidential information on the plane, which makes it convenient for meetings.

More importantly, you don’t need to travel according to the civil aviation stuck time.

There is no need to worry about transfers, flight delays, or waiting in security queues.

For example, sometimes the event schedule is just so coincidental.

Jin Qixuan is required to appear in three places within two hours’ flying distance in one day.

And you don’t have to stay too long, you can earn the announcement fee just by showing up.

At this time, if there is no direct flight.

Having a private jet would help him make that money.

Compared with the VIP channels of civil aviation, private jets are much more convenient.

Even if the VIP security check is fast, the plane cannot take off until all passengers are on board.

If you are unlucky and encounter a blind stewardess who neglects the daughter of a chaebol family, you will have to turn back halfway through the flight.

Not to mention, you have to wait for your luggage to come out after landing.

Besides, international flights are also slow to clear customs.

It takes several hours longer to get from point A to point B than a private jet, so how can you get to point C or point D?

But it’s different with a private jet.

Jin Qixuan didn't have to do anything, he could just get on the plane after getting off the car.

The assistant has already arranged what to eat for lunch and dinner.

In this way, Jin Qixuan can retain more energy to make money.

Of course, the most important point is privacy and security.

No matter what.

Jin Qixuan is somewhat well-known internationally.

Even in first class, you will be disturbed by countless people.

If he refused to communicate with them, he would be accused of being a big shot.

If, by chance, something bad happens, such as a box office flop or an argument with Lee Ji-eun.

If your expression shows the slightest sign of impatience, it will be posted online by people with sensitive hearts.

Then, it would be very uncomfortable if some media or journalists maliciously misinterpreted the reports.

Therefore, Jin Qixuan simply could not afford the risk of getting into an argument with ordinary people.

Whenever there is a dispute that is difficult to judge right or wrong.

In the end, public opinion will make it his fault.

After all, he is a public figure and the powerful party.

Compared to him, ordinary people are definitely at a disadvantage.

Everyone will definitely spontaneously sympathize with the weak.

For example, Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio was scolded by an old lady on the plane for 20 minutes and he didn't dare to talk back.

……

France.

Cannes.

Local time, 4 p.m.

After a long ten-hour flight, Jin Qixuan and his group finally arrived at Cannes Airport.

Ma Dong-seok and others set out half a day earlier than Kim Ki-hyeon, but he still arrived first.

There's no way, it takes too much time for them to transfer.

A moment later, Jin Qixuan and his party boarded the special car arranged by the organizer and headed to the hotel.

This time, the Cannes organizers still arranged for Jin Qixuan to stay at the Grand Hyatt Martinez Hotel.

This is the most prestigious hotel in Cannes and one of the top five luxury hotels in Europe.

It is located on the Croisette Boulevard in Cannes, facing the sea, and you can enjoy the beautiful sea view.

During the Cannes Film Festival every year, this place becomes the official hotel and many superstars gather here.

Of course, only actors, directors or judges who are invited with their works will be arranged here.

Vases sent by luxury brands as human-shaped advertisements will be placed elsewhere.

This year, the brand arranged a suite on the fifth floor for Jin Qixuan.

Last year it was the third floor, and the year before last it was the second floor.

The higher the floor, the more pleasant the view, and it also represents higher status and seniority.

Next year, Jin Qixuan might be arranged to stay in the presidential suite on the top floor.

Of course, the prerequisite is that "Light and Shadow" can be completed and selected to participate in the main competition unit to compete for the Palme d'Or and Cannes Best Actor Awards.

It was dusk at this time.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, and the scenery is breathtaking.

Jin Qixuan had a sudden idea, so he took out his cell phone and started taking pictures of the beautiful scenery outside the balcony.

Afterwards, I opened INS and posted everything at once.

With text:
“We can never get enough of the sunset at the beach, and the same is true in Cannes. I look forward to meeting all the outstanding filmmakers.”

Then, he sent Lee Ji-eun a photo of the seascape that best demonstrated his talent for composition.

When Jin Qixuan finished taking a shower and looked at his phone.

This post on INS has accumulated tens of thousands of comments.

After a quick glance, there were no comments from the artists, only replies from fans asking to see their faces.

After thinking about it, Jin Qixuan took another selfie and uploaded it to INS again.

As a result, only ten minutes had passed.

The number of reposts, likes and replies to this INS exceeded that of the landscape photos he posted.

Jin Qixuan couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that this world still values ​​appearance.

Just then, Lee Ji-eun made a video call.

Looking at the flawless face of first love on the screen.

Jin Qixuan couldn't help but sigh:
"My wife is really growing younger than she actually is."

After hearing this, Lee Ji-eun immediately smiled with the corners of her mouth raised, showing a look of great enjoyment.

"Have you just arrived at the hotel?"

"Ah."

As he spoke, Jin Qixuan pointed the camera of his mobile phone out the window.

Lee Ji-eun looked at the beautiful scenery on the screen and exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, it's really beautiful."

"right."

Jin Qixuan smiled and turned the camera of his phone towards himself, and said to Li Zhien:
"Come together if there's a chance."

"The opportunity you're talking about is our honeymoon trip after we get married, or being invited as a filmmaker?"

This question directly stumped Jin Qixuan.

If I tell her to come for a honeymoon after marriage, she would probably immediately turn cold and start asking if you look down on her.

As for being invited as a filmmaker, she had to say that it would take at least two years before she could go because there were no films being shot.

After thinking for a moment, Jin Qixuan decided to withdraw and said:

"What did you say?"

"I said, in the future, it will be us..."

"Wait, not this one, the previous one."

"It's a beautiful view." "No, it's not beautiful at all."

Li Zhien was stunned: "Huh?"

"Ah what? I said the scenery isn't beautiful at all without you."

Hearing this, Li Zhien couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and said:

"Hate it! Who taught you this? It's so corny."

"Don't you like it?"

Li Zhien said hypocritically: "I don't like it."

"Then I won't talk about it anymore."

"you dare!"

"..."

The two chatted in this sweet way for more than ten minutes.

It was not until Ma Dong-seok and his group came to say hello that they reluctantly hung up the video.

evening.

Kim Ki-hyeon, Ma Dong-seok and his group walked into the restaurant, talking and laughing.

This restaurant is located on LeRouret hill, with a bird's eye view of most of Cannes.

Mirazur is also the Michelin three-star restaurant ranked first in the "World's 50 Best Restaurants".

Due to its high standards, the number of guests received every day is limited.

Plus it was during the Cannes Film Festival.

If you don't make a reservation in advance, you won't be able to eat there.

Jin Qixuan and others were able to have dinner here thanks to the organizer.

Otherwise, you will have to wait at least a week.

By that time, we will all have returned to our country, so what's the point of eating?

Since there were more than a dozen people in their group, they became the focus as soon as they entered the restaurant.

Many people recognized Kim Ki-hyeon, Ma Dong-seok and others.

Among them, several of them took the initiative to come forward to say hello and ask if they could take a photo together.

Out of politeness, Jin Qixuan and others agreed with a smile.

At this time, the restaurant manager hurried over and said to Jin Qixuan and others:
"Mr. Jin, the seat you reserved is over here. Please follow me."

Jin Qixuan nodded slightly and smiled apologetically at the fans who wanted to take photos with him:
"Sorry, we are going to have dinner. We will take a photo together next time if we have a chance."

Hearing this, several fans did not show any displeasure. They smiled and nodded and watched Jin Qixuan and others leave.

After all, those who can eat here all have some financial resources, and they will more or less respect their private space.

After a while.

Jin Qixuan and others have followed the manager to the reserved seat.

Because there were so many people, and the restaurant manager made special arrangements, the seats we booked were enough to accommodate more than a dozen people.

Moreover, the seat is next to the window, so you can enjoy the scenery outside while eating.

If you ignore the looks from people around you, this is a pretty good location.

As soon as he sat down, Ma Dongxi couldn't help but sigh:
"The environment of this restaurant is really nice. No wonder it was rated as the number one restaurant in the world's 50 best restaurants."

Jin Qixuan looked through the menu and said with a smile:

“The environment is really nice, but the price is a bit unattractive.”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

This meal will cost at least 6000 euros, equivalent to more than million Korean won.

With this price, you can eat more than 200 barbecue meals in the Peninsula...

Seeing that everyone seemed a little embarrassed to order food, Jin Qixuan smiled and said to the manager:

"This is our first time here too, so we don't know how to eat. Please just pair it for us."

"Okay, I will prepare a sumptuous dinner for you and your friends based on the seasonal characteristics of our restaurant."

After the manager left, Jin Qixuan smiled and said to everyone:

"You can't come to a place like this many times in your life. Eat and drink as much as you want. It's my treat."

Because among these more than ten people, most of them are from Jin Qixuan's team.

So, it's only right that he should treat me to this meal.

Just as a few people were happily chatting, another group of people came to eat.

Jin Qixuan glanced at it subconsciously.

When he looked at me, his eyes met with that of an Asian man.

"gold!"

“Yanzu!!”

Looking at the handsome man walking towards him, Jin Qixuan immediately stood up and went to greet him.

"It's been half a year since we last met. How are you?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

The two shook hands, hugged and patted each other on the back with smiles on their faces.

Jin Qixuan did not seem surprised that Wu Yanzu came to Cannes.

After all, the opponent's main battlefield is in Hollywood.

Although most of them are supporting roles, their output is still high.

But the problem is, Jin Qixuan didn’t remember the movie he starred in!
It was not easy to ask directly, and he did not know the actors who were traveling with him, so he said tactfully:

"How many works did you bring this time?"

"Just one, Rocketman."

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan recalled it briefly, but there was no impression in his mind.

I think it should be a film in the non-competition unit, just like "The Evil Dead".

Jin Qixuan has been paying attention to the films competing in the main unit, but he has not paid much attention to the films in other units.

"You are amazing, you starred in the only two Peninsula films that appeared in Cannes this year."

"Well, it's just luck. It's not like you're doing so well in Hollywood."

"That's impossible. You know my characters well. Most of them don't survive more than one episode."

"..."

The two of them talked business to each other in fluent English, mixing in some Chinese from time to time, which attracted the attention of people around them.

Ma Dongxi and others were also stunned.

The main reason was that they didn’t expect that Jin Qixuan could be so talkative even when he was abroad.

After a moment, the two reacted and introduced themselves to each other's crews.

It was through Wu Yanzu's introduction that Jin Qixuan learned that these people were the main creators of the "Rocket Man" crew.

Director Dexter Fletcher, and starring Taron Egerton, "tall girl" Allison Jenny, and a strange Western face.

This should be a character that did not appear in the original plot.

After a few pleasantries, both parties returned to their seats.

The main reason was that there were a lot of people around, and there were quite a lot of them in the group, so it wouldn't be a good idea to have them chatting here.

"I didn't expect you knew Hollywood actors."

As soon as Jin Qixuan sat down, Ma Dongxi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Ah, we filmed a new map promotional video for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds together before, and then we got to know each other."

When talking about this game, Jin Qixuan suddenly remembered something funny and said:
"Oh, Uncle Ma, I remember a while ago a player of this game posted a spoof video. The character in the video was modeled after your face, and then he was dancing in a little pink skirt..."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Dongxi couldn't hold it in anymore, and said with a "nuclear-kind" smile:
"I've seen it before, too. I think they lack the harsh punishment from society."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed.

After a while, the manager came with the kitchen staff, pushed the food cart and started serving the dishes.

"Come on, everyone, try it and see what the food of this three-star Michelin restaurant is like."

Ma Dong-seok, Kim Muryeol and others picked up their knives and forks and started to taste the food.

"Well, it's really good."

“This taste is absolutely amazing.”

“It’s delicious, but the portion is too small.”

Listening to everyone's comments, Jin Qixuan smiled and said nothing.

This is basically the amount in high-end restaurants in the West.

Because I will attend the opening ceremony red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival tomorrow.

In addition, since most people don't drink alcohol, the dinner party quickly came to an end.
