Chapter 383 Funeral
On the night that the recording ended, Jin Qixuan held a meeting with the post-production team to discuss the editing direction and take a look at the materials.

"Here, the scene of him pulling the cart, photoshop it into a Saint Seiya scene, with the caption 'The little universe explodes'..."

"Here, when the two first met, adjust the color of the picture to a warm pink, and add some pink bubbles..."

"In this segment, when he is explaining the benefits of vegetables to Jessi, add a green prairie behind him and caption it 'Health Missionary'."

"There is also this part where he said he is not picky about food. There is a flashback clip, such as when RM's first three people ate together and weighed themselves, he did not eat fried food, he did not eat fried pork chops in the CP special with Hong Jin Young, and he ate the healthiest-looking jajangmyeon in the jajangmyeon special, etc...."

"Also, when Jessi was talking about her ideal type, from Won Bin to Hyun Uh, forget it, senior is already dating Son Sun Ah, so let's start with Won Bin, Jo In Sung, Gong Yoo and then Kim Soo Hyun. Then add photos of these four in formal wear behind her and caption it 'Jessi's ideal type through the ages'."

"There is also this part, when Lee Kwang Soo is catching the doll, there is a flashback to the part where Dong Gu is catching the doll in "My First Brother", and the subtitles at the end are "Movies are movies, reality is reality."

"When doing post-production, I tried to edit my uncle's character to be cute, silly, and a straight man, and Jessi's character to be cool, straightforward, domineering, and a queen, to create as many contrast effects as possible."

"besides……"

After listening to Jin Qixuan's many requests, everyone in the post-production group wrote them down.

At the same time, they had to admire Jin Qixuan's imagination.

It's obviously a very ordinary scene, so how could he come up with so many fancy editing schemes?
And, inexplicably, they thought it was quite suitable?
In fact, these post-production teams and filming teams were all put together at a temporary convenience.

To form a fixed team, we still have to see the response after the show is broadcast.

If it is still possible, then there is a need to continue, and by then it is natural to form a fixed team.

However, judging from the current materials, the quality of this variety show is quite good, and is not inferior to those variety shows on TV stations, and may even be better.

After all, TV variety shows have too many restrictions on guests and MCs.

Unlike this variety show, there are no taboos at all, anything can be said, any joke can be played, and any CP can be hyped.

The only regret is that this variety show cannot be broadcast on satellite TV and can only be broadcast online.

However, Jin Qixuan didn't care.

To be honest, this show is just a hobby for Kim Ki-hyeon, and the same is true for Kim Jong-kook.

After the post-production plan was roughly finalized, Jin Qixuan asked them to make a rough cut first. He wanted to see the effect first. If there was anything he was not satisfied with, he could ask the post-production team to make changes.

As for the release channels, in addition to YouTube, Jin Qixuan also plans to cooperate with small domestic websites.

As the leading two-dimensional video website in China, Bilibili has developed rapidly in recent years, and even has the potential to become the number one video website in China.

Moreover, after years of development, traffic, and expansion, Bilibili has long since shed its label as a two-dimensional website and has become a multicultural community with more than 7000 interest circles.

The more than 7000 interest circles naturally include Korean entertainment, as well as fans of RM, Kim Jong Kook, and other RM members.

Even when RM was at its most popular, the videos on the website alone could receive hundreds of millions of views.

This shows that domestic audiences still like foreign variety shows very much.

Of course, this is also because there is nothing interesting to watch in domestic variety shows.

Moreover, the users of broken sites are very active, inclusive and sticky.

As long as the video is high-quality and creative, it can gain attention in a very short time.

Things like "Don't laugh challenge", "Famous scenes of social death", "Famous embarrassing scenes", etc., all became popular from here.

The most important point is that the audience of the station loves to "play with memes" and "create memes".

After the meeting, it was already midnight.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan treated everyone to a barbecue meal as a midnight snack.

He himself did not go because he had to attend the Qinglong Awards Ceremony the next day and was afraid of getting a swollen face.

However, it is counterproductive.

When he got home, he found the bed was stirring and there were sobbing sounds coming from inside.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan lifted the quilt in confusion.

I saw that the pillow had already been soaked with Li Zhien's tears.

Her big, watery eyes in the past were now red and swollen.

Jin Qixuan panicked immediately, and quickly got into bed and hugged her in his arms, gently patting her trembling back and asking softly:
"What happened?"

Li Zhien didn't say anything, but just hugged his waist tightly with her hands, buried her head in his chest, and sobbed.

Jin Qixuan didn't say anything else. He just hugged her quietly, giving her enough sense of security.

After an unknown amount of time, Lee Ji-eun's crying gradually stopped and turned into soft sobs.

She raised her head, looked at Jin Qixuan with tearful eyes, and choked up:
"Shirley, Shirley..."

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan was stunned.

Choi Sulli?
What's up with her?
Could it be...

Looking at Lee Ji-eun's appearance and thinking about what the fortune teller had said before, Jin Qixuan felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"Shirley committed suicide..."

"Ah? How could this happen?"

Jin Qixuan exclaimed, his eyes widened, and then he quickly took out his cell phone.

He has been working all day today and has no time to read the news on the Internet.

When I opened the webpage, I saw news about Choi Sulli's death everywhere.

"Well-known female artist Choi Sulli was found dead at home by her manager at the age of 25."

"The police have confirmed that Choi Sulli committed suicide by hanging herself in her home."

"From the records left at the scene, we can confirm that she suffered from severe depression before her death."

"The deceased has passed away. The police are considering the deceased's pain and will try not to make the cause of death public. I hope everyone will stop spreading rumors and publishing malicious speculative articles."

"..."

Just left like that?

Jin Qixuan felt mixed emotions and felt very uncomfortable.

He didn't have much contact with Choi Sulli, and the number of times they met could be counted on two hands.

The last time they met recently was at Lee Ji-eun's official concert.

In fact, Jin Qixuan had noticed that something was wrong with Choi Sulli quite early on.

Her eyes were empty, confused and out of focus.

The whole person seemed to be bound by something, even the soul was imprisoned.

It's very depressing and painful.

Although he is only in his early twenties, his eyes have lost the gleam that should be present at this age.

However, it was hard for him to say anything.

After all, the two were not familiar with each other.

Later, Jin Qixuan also heard Li Zhien mention some things about Choi Sulli.

It was said that she had suffered from severe depression since childhood and had attempted suicide by cutting her wrists many times.

However, he never expected that the girl would ultimately fail to overcome her inner demons and choose to leave this world.

For people suffering from depression.

Day and night are two completely different worlds.

Sometimes, many trivial things that seem insignificant in the eyes of ordinary people will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

However, compared to the shock of Choi Sulli's death, Kim Ki-hyeon was more worried about Lee Ji-eun's condition.

She herself is a person with strong empathy.

After learning the news of her friend's death, it might bring back her bad memories.

After all, she had also experienced being blacklisted by the entire network, and had been abused, cursed, and even threatened with physical harm by countless netizens.

That period was the darkest moment in Li Zhien's life.

Every day when I open my eyes, all I see is an overwhelming barrage of abuse and curses.

The whole person felt like being submerged in the deep sea, surrounded by icy cold water, making one feel suffocated.

It took her a long time to come out of that shadow.

Now, she suddenly learned the news that her best friend committed suicide due to depression. How could she not be sad?
Looking at the delicate body trembling in his arms, Jin Qixuan felt heartbroken.

But he didn't know how to comfort her.

I'm afraid of talking too much and reminding her of sad memories.

If I say too little, I'm afraid she'll think I don't care about her feelings.

"I'm fine, I just feel a little sad."

Li Zhien wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, forced a smile, and said:
"Sulli and I knew each other quite early, and I feel sad to see her gone like this."

"Oh, I didn't expect that the last guest of Hotel Del Luna would be Shirley."

It would be better if Jin Qixuan didn't say anything.

After saying this, Lee Ji-eun, who had just barely stopped crying, now began to have tears in her eyes again.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan wanted to slap himself in the face.

What are you talking about?
Which pot is not open to mention which pot!
Seeing that Li Zhien was about to cry again, Jin Qixuan was frightened and quickly changed the subject, saying:

"Well, we still have to attend the Blue Dragon Awards Ceremony tomorrow. You won't be able to appear on camera if you cry like this."

"You don't want the reporters to take pictures of you like this, do you? Who knows what kind of messed-up reports they'll write then."

"What? Kim Ki-hyun cheated on her, IU's eyes were swollen from crying..."

"Then I won't attend. I'm going to attend Sulli's funeral." Lee Ji-eun interrupted Kim Ki-hyeon, raised her head stubbornly, and looked at him seriously.

Seeing Li Zhien's determined eyes, Jin Qixuan knew that he couldn't persuade her.

This woman looks weak, but once she makes up her mind about something, no one can pull her back.

However, he didn't intend to persuade her.

After all, life is nothing but appearance.

It would be strange if Lee Ji-eun really didn't care about Choi Sulli.

"If you want to go, I'll go with you."

"But, you..."

Hearing this, Li Zhien hesitated.

She was nominated for Best New Actress, so it didn't matter whether she attended or not.

But Jin Qixuan was nominated for Best Actor, and this also relates to the controversy surrounding his second Grand Bell Award win.

"It's okay, it's just a little fame and fortune. Compared to that, I care more about your physical condition."

"Besides, there is more than one Blue Dragon Award. Even if you miss this one, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"In fact, when we were getting engaged, the fortune teller said that your luck palace would be turbulent, and your health and mood would fluctuate greatly this year. I never took it seriously."

"Now it seems that this must be it."

"But speaking of your health ups and downs... have you had morning sickness recently? Could it be... that you were too sad and had a miscarriage?"

Listening to Jin Qixuan's mumbling, the haze in Li Zhien's heart was also dispelled a lot. She pouted her lips and muttered:

"What nonsense! I'm not pregnant."

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan touched her belly suspiciously and said:

"No? I remember you said you wanted to eat something sour a few days ago?"

"That's just a thought, I didn't really eat it."

"No, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow so I can rest assured."

"..."

Li Zhien was speechless for a while.

I just wanted to eat something sour, but why did it seem like it was going to kill me when it entered this guy's mouth?
Besides, what is the point of hospital examinations?

She is in good health, there is no need to go to the hospital!

"You should go and have a look. It's better to be prepared. Didn't you also suffer from mild depression when you were filming "My Mister" last year?"

"Although I have recovered a lot now, in case there is an incubation period, it is better to get checked to be more at ease."

Hearing what Jin Qixuan said, Li Zhien's eyes turned red again.

The man in front of me always gives me endless tenderness and support when I need it most.

If you have a husband like this, what more can your wife ask for?
But she suddenly changed her mind.

If Sulli had a perfect boyfriend like Kim Ki-hyeon to accompany and support her, would the ending be different?

Li Zhien doesn't know the answer.

Because there are no ifs in this world.

Only results!

Thinking of this, the sadness that had originally dissipated surged into my heart again.

Seeing that Li Zhien's face became depressed again, Jin Qixuan knew that she had gotten into a dead end again.

However, he did not interrupt her, but just stayed with her quietly.

Sometimes, just being there can heal people’s hearts better than comforting them.

……

The next day.

Choi Sulli's funeral was held at five in the afternoon, so in the morning Kim Ki-hyeon took Lee Ji-eun to the hospital for examination.

"Doctor, she had mild depression last year, and today she learned that her best friend committed suicide due to depression. She is a little emotional. Look at her red and swollen face..."

Jin Qixuan took off the sunglasses she had worn to cover her face and said, "Do you need any tests? We are all fasting now."

The doctor was a middle-aged woman in her forties who looked very kind.

She was found by Kim Ki-hyeon through his uncle Kim Jong-min, so he didn't have to go through a series of tedious things like making an appointment and queuing, and could just come and see her.

After listening to Jin Qixuan's story, the doctor nodded slightly, then looked at Li Zhien and asked:

"Have you had any symptoms of insomnia and dreaminess recently?"

"Have."

Li Zhien nodded.

"When you eat, do you feel a loss of appetite or overeating?"

“It didn’t happen before, but it may happen in the future.”

Li Zhien is quite clear about her situation.

"Okay, let's do a psychological CT scan first."

Psychological CT refers to the determination of whether a person has a psychological illness through human-computer dialogue.

During the test, the subjects answer questions, and each answer to each question corresponds to a different score. The scores corresponding to the subjects' answers to more than 500 questions are added up to obtain the subject's psychological score.

The doctor then makes a diagnosis based on a world-recognized psychological scale.

After a while, Li Zhien finished answering the questions, and Jin Qixuan couldn't wait to ask:

"Doctor, how is she? Is the problem serious?"

"From the results, her condition is not very serious. She is just suffering from mild depression and anxiety. However, you should not take it lightly. You should pay more attention to her mood changes and provide timely counseling."

"I will."

……

When I came out of the hospital, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

There was still some time before five o'clock, so Jin Qixuan took Li Zhien to have dinner first.

However, Lee Ji-eun obviously had no appetite. She simply ate a few bites and then put down her chopsticks.

"Not to your liking?"

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan frowned slightly.

"It's not that I don't like it, but I feel so uncomfortable that I can't eat."

Li Zhien shook her head slightly and a forced smile appeared on her face.

Looking at her haggard appearance, Jin Qixuan felt heartbroken.

He knew that Lee Ji-eun was thinking of Choi Sulli again.

"The dead are gone, and the living are like this. I don't think Shirley would want you to hurt yourself because of her, right?"

"I understand the reason, but I still feel sad."

"Ugh……"

Five p.m.

Choi Sulli's funeral was held on time.

Even though she has left f(x), a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Coupled with the fame she had accumulated before and the operation of SM.

At this moment, the funeral home was already surrounded by fans who came to pay their respects.

They all wore plain clothes and lined up quietly and orderly to pay their respects.

IU also met many familiar faces.

Lin Yuna, Kim Hyoyeon, and the leader of the f(x) group, Zheng Xiujing, Park Sunryong, etc.

Even Cui Zi, who had not been seen for a long time, showed up at the funeral.

However, during the entire funeral process.

Among Choi Sulli's family, only her brother cried until he fainted.

Her parents, however, acted very calmly, without any sign of sadness on their faces.

It was as if the person who passed away was just an insignificant person.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhien's already depressed mood became even worse.

She finally understood why Choi Sulli fell in love with Choi Ja so unreservedly and even broke up with her parents for him.

Because she didn't feel any love from her parents at all!

However, what surprised Jin Qixuan was that Li Zhien did not shed a single tear, but was in a very low mood.

Jin Qixuan originally thought that she wanted to cry but had no tears, but he found out later when he asked.

She said she didn't want Choi Sulli to see her vulnerable.

If that happens, she would be very sad.
