Chapter 356: Taking Xiao Li's path, leaving her with nowhere to go
The next day.

"Parasite" premiered in Cannes last night and received unanimous praise from mainstream film critics around the world.

The program brochure scored the highest score of 3.5 in this session! (4 points out of )

Another film hailed as the most competitive for the Palme d'Or, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," only scored 3.0 in the program book.

For a while.

"Parasite" stole the show at the Cannes Film Festival.

This also led to the film itself and director Bong Joon-ho becoming the focus of global film public opinion.

The media on the peninsula also produced a special feature about "Parasite" overnight.

While analyzing his prospects of winning the Palme d'Or, one should not forget to praise Bong Joon-ho to the sky.

After all, this can be said to be the closest chance for Peninsula Films to win the highest award at an international A-class film festival.

Of course, the people of the Peninsula have to brag about it.

Of course, as an actor in Bong Joon-ho's upcoming masterpiece.

Jin Qixuan has also attracted great interest from many Hollywood directors and producers.

After all, two of his films, “The Evil Dead” and “Parasite,” were both shown at Cannes.

The span between the two characters is staggering.

One is a perverted murderer who makes people hate him so much.

One is a poor boy from the bottom of society.

Jin Qixuan was able to handle such a huge contrast perfectly.

He played both characters to perfection.

The acting is nothing short of superb!
In addition, he has extremely high popularity, handsome appearance and high plasticity.

For a while.

Many Hollywood directors and producers have invited Jin Qixuan to audition.

However, for these invitations.

Jin Qixuan politely declined due to schedule reasons.

On the one hand, his schedule for the second half of the year is indeed full.

After finishing the roadshows of "The Evil" and "Parasite", I will join the crew of "Lights and Shadows" directed by Lee Chang-dong.

Considering Lee Chang-dong's slow and meticulous shooting schedule, four months of shooting time is considered short.

In addition, there are brand activities in the second half of the year, fashion magazine shoots, various award ceremonies at the end of the year, and the roadshow of "When a Man Falls in Love".

Jin Qixuan doesn’t even have time to rest, how can he have time to audition?
Another point is that Hollywood is not friendly to Asians.

Instead of going to Hollywood to play those roles that are not up to standard, it is better to stay in the peninsula and be a top star.

Even though I was excluded on the peninsula, it was better than being discriminated against in Hollywood.

What's more, he is now the company's cash cow.

Cha Tae-hyun is still relying on him to make money.

If he went to Hollywood to start over, the company would probably be doomed.

……

"Parasite" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to rave reviews.

CJ also took advantage of this momentum and released the second version of the trailer.

Compared to the first trailer, this trailer contains significantly more information.

Among them, Jin Qixuan’s line:
——Until they come back, they will treat this place as their home.

It was also used as a slogan by CJ and put into the promotional poster.

After the trailer was released, it received over five million hits in just one day.

It tied the record for the most clicks on a god-level trailer in 24 hours set by "Train to Busan".

Even on Rotten Tomatoes, the number of people who want to watch it has exceeded 200,000.

It’s really popular before it’s released!
Kim Ki-hyun and others were also sent back to Seoul by Bong Joon-ho to attend the press conference of "Parasite".

As for him, he stayed in Cannes waiting for the closing ceremony on the evening of the 25th.

After all, it is a strong contender for the Palme d'Or.

It would have been awkward if Bong Joon-ho had left early.

……

September 5, early morning.

The crew of "Parasite" arrived in Seoul.

Due to the frequent jet lag recently.

As a result, Jin Qixuan’s mental state is not very good at the moment.

But nevertheless.

He took advantage of his own private time to attack Lee Ji-eun at night.

If we don’t meet again, Xiao Li will probably get furious.

At this time, our poor Jieun is still working diligently on the set of "Hotel Del Luna".

After all, she is the heroine.

Even if she doesn't have a role to play, she still has to wait in the crew.

After all, you never know when a screenwriter or director will come up with a good idea.

It would be bad if she wasn't here.

Two o'clock in the morning.

With the director's words "work called."

IU suddenly felt as if she had been pardoned. She yawned and immediately slipped away from the set.

When she got into the nanny car, she looked at her cell phone and saw that there was no message from Jin Qixuan, and she couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Are you reading my news?"

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Li Zhien was stunned for a moment and quickly looked back.

She saw Jin Qixuan sitting in the back seat, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Ah! What are you doing... humph!"

The surprised expression on her face was instantly suppressed by her, and then she snorted and turned her head away.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan quickly moved to her side and held her in his arms.

Lee Ji-eun struggled symbolically for a few times, and then let Kim Ki-hyeon hold her like this.

"did you miss me?"

"I don't miss you."

Li Zhien turned her head away and said something contrary to her own thoughts.

"Then I'll go?"

Hearing this, Li Zhien immediately raised her hand and grabbed his neck, threatening:

"Try one."

Looking at his little wife pretending to be fierce.

Jin Qixuan quickly raised his hands in surrender and said:
"I came to see you as soon as I got off the plane."

"Huh, why are you so good this time?"

"I can't help it. I missed you so much."

As the saying goes, sincerity is always the best skill.

Listening to Jin Qixuan’s words “I miss you”.

Li Zhien only felt that the resentment in her heart disappeared.

What replaces it is deep sweetness and happiness.

Then, she raised her hand and stroked his newly grown stubble, muttering:
"There's really nothing I can do against you."

"hey-hey."

"You've been very busy lately. I think you've lost weight."

"It's always like this during the promotion period."

"How's the movie? Any hope for the Palme d'Or?"

Jin Qixuan nodded and said:
"Yes, Director Bong's camera language is very profound and can express a lot of things, so the chances are high."

Film is an art after all.

Art has its threshold.

In Jin Qixuan's opinion, Bong Joon-ho's camera language is not inferior to that of Zhang Yimou.

What's more, the Palme d'Or still depends on the chairman of the jury.

The chairman of this year's jury is Inarritu.

Mexican director.

Like Bong Joon-ho, he is a director who became famous by making foreign language films.

"Birdman" and "The Revenant" made him famous in Hollywood.

At the same time, Inarritu is also a left-wing director.

If Bong Joon-ho were to explain it from the perspective of human nature and social class, Inarritu would definitely buy into it.

Therefore, the chances of Parasite winning are still very high. Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun curled her lips and said:

"If you win the award, won't your worth increase again? Will your schedule extend until the year after next?"

"what……"

Jin Qixuan understood the meaning of her words, but he chose to kick the ball back and asked:

"What do you think about the future prospects of your play?"

Li Zhien thought for a while and said:

"It should be good, right?"

"No, it's quite good. You already have your own traffic. It's impossible for this script, which shows all your strengths, not to be popular."

Hearing this, Li Zhien smiled innocently and said:
"Hehe, that's true. I'll borrow your good words then."

"You're still laughing. If this drama becomes a hit, your schedule will be full until 21 years. How will you have time to spend with me? Are you going to get married?"

"..."

Hearing this, the expression on Lee Ji-eun's face changed rapidly. She first blinked cutely, then frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

Finally, his eyes widened like bells, he raised his hand again and pinched Jin Qixuan's neck, scolding:
"Okay you, use my words against me!"

Facing Ji-eun who didn't play by the rules, Jin Qixuan had no choice but to give in and once again raised his hands in surrender, saying:

"We definitely won't be getting married this year. Let's make it official this year, and then we can find a date to hold the wedding in the first half of next year?"

The official procedures they completed at the beginning of the year have also been completed.

Now, they are a legal couple recognized by the law.

Hearing this, Li Zhien thought about it.

We got married after three years of dating, and everything was just right.

So, he nodded and said:

"The first half of next year is fine."

"If it's confirmed, I won't take any roles in the first half of next year."

Looking at Li Zhien's face full of longing, Jin Qixuan pinched her cheek and smiled.

"Hmm, so do we need to order custom wedding attires in advance?"

"There's still enough time. Once you finish filming your drama, we'll go to Milan to meet Director Michele during the September Fashion Week."

"Okay!"

"Where are we going to hold the wedding?"

“How is Jeju Island?”

Seeing that Lee Ji-eun didn't think twice, she must have been imagining it for a long time.

Therefore, Jin Qixuan nodded repeatedly: "Okay."

"Then let's go to Mal for our honeymoon..."

"Wait a moment."

Jin Qixuan interrupted her and said:
"It's too early to plan a honeymoon now. You might as well plan it first for our official announcement in the second half of the year."

“It’s already been planned!”

Li Zhien said with pride.

"Oh? Tell me."

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan asked curiously.

"I have been taking time out to work on a new album recently. When our movie is in the promotion period, I will hold an album concert, and in the middle of the concert, I will sing our story to the fans. At that time, a clip of our love story will be played on the big screen. Perfect!"

After saying that, Lee Ji-eun clapped her hands to herself, looking like she was waiting for praise.

“The idea is explosive.”

"However, we should first promote the couple through the movie promotion to stir up the heat of the relationship, and then let Dispatch announce our relationship so that your fans can be mentally prepared."

"By then, the official announcement won't be so abrupt."

Hearing this, Li Zhien tilted her head and looked at Jin Qixuan for a while, and said:
“This seems better!”

"Yes, in this way, the official announcement of the relationship will definitely bring some traffic to our movie."

"Yeah, you're really cunning."

As she said this, Lee Ji-eun poked Kim Ki-hyeon's chest with a smile.

"I'm smart, okay?"

"Good, good, smart, smart."

While chatting and laughing, the two arrived at their love nest.

Then, Lee Ji-eun naturally invited Kim Ki-hyeon to play basketball one-on-one.

Although a little tired, a man can't say no.

Jin Qixuan is naturally proficient in these little skills, such as dribbling through the ball and seven in and seven out.

Soon, Lee Ji-eun's army was defeated.

……

The evening of July 5.

At a time when everyone is watching.

"Parasite" won the highest Palme d'Or award at the closing ceremony of the 72nd Cannes Film Festival!

For a time, Bong Joon-ho became the pride of the entire South Korea.

Even the Blue House sent a congratulatory message to the "Parasite" crew overnight.

At this moment, the whole of South Korea is celebrating.

This is the first time that a South Korean film has won the Palme d'Or, which is something that the entire country should be proud of.

And under this trend.

The "Parasite" crew, which was absent from Bong Joon-ho, also held the film press conference as scheduled.

The scene of the event.

When Jin Qixuan and his group came on stage, the audience burst into warm applause and cheers.

Although "Parasite" has not yet been officially released.

But the film's nomination for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival had already spread across the peninsula.

Therefore, everyone has paid great attention to this film that can go abroad and bring glory to the country.

Coupled with CJ's unremitting publicity, the movie "Parasite" has become the most anticipated movie by the people of the peninsula in recent times.

none of them!

As the leading actors of this movie, Jin Qixuan and others have also received extremely high attention.

The press conference was packed.

Media reporters raised their hands and wanted to ask questions.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for taking the time out of their busy schedules to attend today's press conference."

"On behalf of myself and the entire crew of Parasite, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone."

Wait until the applause is over.

Park Kyung-lin then handed the microphone to the reporters who raised their hands frequently to ask questions.

The first person to be questioned was naturally Song the National.

"Excuse me, how was your collaboration with the actors who played the family members?"

Song Kanghao picked up the microphone and said with a smile:
"I've worked with Zhang Huizhen, who plays my wife, in "Secret Sunshine", and Sudan, who plays my daughter, in "The Throne". Only Qixuan, who plays my son, is our first collaboration. You can feel it after watching the movie. We have a good rapport."

After listening, the reporter continued to ask questions:

"You've starred in "The King of Narcotics," "Taxi Driver," "The Secret Agent," and "The Attorney." Because "Parasite" is a movie where family harmony is more important, will your pressure be relieved a little?"

Song Kanghao nodded and said:
"That's for sure. I've always done it all by myself before. It's very valuable, but the sense of responsibility and fatigue that comes with it are also very tiring. This time, with a master like Bong Joon-ho, it's different."

Upon hearing this, the reporters all lowered their heads to take notes.

After a while, a reporter asked Jin Qixuan:

"Excuse me, do you feel a lot of pressure acting with so many seniors?"

Jin Qixuan has been hearing this kind of question since his debut.

Therefore, he picked up the microphone without thinking and responded:
“It’s more of a motivation than a pressure.”

“It is my honor to work with so many outstanding predecessors.”

The reporter nodded and then asked:

"Director Bong Joon-ho is famous for his attention to detail. So, when you were on the set, did this limit your acting skills?"

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan shook his head and said:

"No, in fact, there are many times when Director Bong shows us how to act, and we just need to follow his example."

"For example, there was a scene where our family hid under the sofa. In order to show the sense of urgency, Director Bong personally demonstrated to us how to curl up under the sofa."

"It's just that he almost didn't come out."

As he spoke, Jin Qixuan measured Bong Joon-ho's physique.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone on the scene understood it immediately.

There was laughter all at once.
