Chapter 396 Little Li Zhien, control
After leaving the golf course in Sinsadu-dong, Kim Ki-hyeon went to visit director Hwang Dong-hyuk.

Anyway, I have already gone out today, so I should at least pay attention to the only work that I have scheduled this year.

After all, 27 billion yuan in pay can't be taken for nothing~
His studio is located in Gojan-dong, Danwon-gu, Ansan City, Gyeonggi Province, not far from the golf course in Sinsadu-dong.

When Jin Qixuan arrived with fruit gifts, he saw several screenwriters from the investment side discussing something with Huang Donghe.

As the Korean drama with the largest investment from Netflix this year, "Squid Game" has received a lot of attention and attention.

Because it is going to be released worldwide, the plot content cannot simply cater to the tastes of people on the peninsula.

As the leading male role chosen by the investors, Jin Qixuan is qualified to participate in discussions on this topic.

But, whether in public or in private, Jin Qixuan had no intention of interrupting, but just silently peeled the fruit for the few people.

After all, actors only need to do their homework on the roles they play and not interfere in other people's affairs.

However, Jin Qixuan's arrival still affected the pace of their discussion.

Because someone here is expressing his or her views passionately and trying to convince the other party.

Suddenly, there was a peeled orange in front of me...

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you, especially when they are your own family.

So everyone took advantage of this situation to take a break.

"Director, have all the roles been decided? Has Gong Yoo agreed to act?"

Jin Qixuan asked curiously while distributing fruits to everyone.

"Well, it's almost settled. As for Gong Yoo..."

"Why, he doesn't give you face?"

Logically speaking, Gong Yoo is currently facing controversy due to the movie "Kim Ji-young, Born 82" which was released some time ago, and he should urgently need new works to get rid of the negative impact.

"Squid Game" is top-notch in terms of investment and production team.

Especially for this kind of drama that is released globally, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for Kong Yoo now.

"That's not the case. It's a scheduling issue."

"Schedule? Didn't he just finish filming 'Xu Fu' with Bao Jian?"

"But he took on Sea of ​​Silence."

"..."

"Sea of ​​Silence" was also invested and produced by Netflix, and the producer is Jung Woo-sung.

Jung Woo-sung and Lee Jung-jae co-founded an agency, and Gong Yoo is an artist under the company.

Moreover, in the plot of "Squid Game", his character only appeared on screen for a few minutes, which was completely unable to show his unique charm.

It's said to be an appearance, but it's actually a guest appearance.

The shooting schedules of the two dramas coincided with each other, so it was normal to refuse.

"As I recall, his character can slap me in the face. Why don't you try using that as an excuse?"

Kim Ki-hyun was still a newcomer when he met Gong Yoo.

And now, strictly speaking, he has surpassed Gong Yoo.

There was no grudge between the two of them. If there was anything to be said, it was that Jin Qixuan always refused his invitation to go fishing.

As for why Kim Ki-hyeon was so eager to get Gong Yoo to participate.

The reason is simple. Because he was previously excluded from the Chungmuro ​​circle, all the actors cast in the drama now are newcomers except himself.

To be honest, it's difficult to perform a monologue.

If the performance is good, these newcomers will be directly suppressed into passers-by and become just supporting roles.

But if you act with restraint, it means you are not serious about the role and are irresponsible to the work.

In short, it is very difficult to grasp the right degree.

Therefore, Jin Qixuan urgently wanted an actor who could hold his own in the situation to share the pressure with him.

To be honest, if possible, Jin Qixuan really wants to invite all these friends to make guest appearances.

Unfortunately, all of his good friends happen to have new works in the second half of this year.

Especially the artists from Blossom Entertainment, except for Kim Ki-hyun, all of them have returned.

Kim Soo Hyun's comeback work after his military service - "Psycho but It's Okay".

Lee Dong Wook’s new work - "Tale of the Nine Tailed".

Park Bo Gum & Park So Dam's new work - "Record of Youth".

Nam Joo Hyuk’s new work - "Health Teacher Ahn Eun Young".

Lim Ju Hwan & Yoo In Na – The Spy Who Loved Me.

It seems that the competition in the Korean drama market in the second half of this year will be very fierce.

Of course, if "Squid Game" is a filming and broadcasting model, then Jin Qixuan will be able to compete with them with his return work.

Unfortunately, it’s not…

Netflix's production model is to wait until all films are finished before releasing them together.

After listening to Jin Qixuan's proposal, Huang Donghe asked:

"Well, why don't you try it?"

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"Me? No, no, no, I'll go and invite him. I'll feel embarrassed if he refuses."

"..."

"Let me try."

Huang Dong Hyuk shrugged without comment, obviously not thinking that this reason could convince Kong Yoo.

"Call Jin Qixuan? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I took the call!"

Huang Dong Hyuk: “???”

Damn, I was careless!
……

After leaving Hwang Dong Hyuk's studio, Kim Ki Xuan also went to visit Lee Joon Ki who was filming the new tvN drama "Flower of Evil".

Lee Jun-ki is a good friend of Lee Ji-eun.

Because he loves Jin Qixuan, he can naturally be considered his good friend.

In fact, the main purpose of visiting the set is not to enhance relationships or anything like that.

Instead, he asked how to get Lee Ji-eun to talk to him in a cold war situation.

In fact, considering the friendship and understanding of Lee Ji-eun, it is obviously more reliable to ask Kim Soo-hyun for this matter.

But why did they look for Lee Joon-gi? Because it was on the way home...

Besides, Lee Joon-gi and Lee Ji-eun have a good relationship and they have also worked together in "Scarlet Heart Ryeo".

Although the show did poorly, the friendship between the two was genuine.

At that time, Lee Ji-eun also recreated the famous scene of shielding from the rain at her concert.

Lee Jun-ki was very surprised at Kim Ki-hyun's arrival.

After all, in his opinion.

Lee Ji-eun and Kim Ki-hyun's wedding just ended a few days ago, and they should be in the newlywed stage, inseparable.

If I have time, I should also plan a Western-style wedding at the end of the month.

"What a rare guest..."

After the show, Lee Joon-gi joked:

"Why do you have time to come to my place? Don't you need to accompany Jieun?"

"Well, we each have something to do today."

"How do you feel after marriage?"

"It feels like everything has become legitimate and reasonable. Just now, Chairman Kim of KBS asked me for the video of our traditional wedding..."

Lee Joon-gi was shocked: "Is it that big of a deal?"

"..."

After chatting for a while, Jin Qixuan gradually brought the topic back to the purpose of his visit:
"By the way, Jun-gi, there is something I want to ask you."

"Well, you said."

Jin Qixuan thought for a moment and said, "I have a friend who had a cold war with his wife. The reason for the cold war was a joke."

Lee Joon-gi asked curiously, "Oh? What's a joke?"

"Well, the woman asks the question, is it happier for the couple to die first or for the one who stays behind to be happy?"

"How did you answer?"

"It's not me, it's a friend of mine."

Jin Qixuan corrected.

Seeing this, Lee Jun-gi forced down the corners of his mouth that were tilted upwards and said soothingly:

"Okay, your friend, your friend, how did he answer?"

"He said that he would let the girl go first, and then her best friends would take good care of herself for her." "..."

After a moment of silence, Lee Jun-gi considered his words and said:

"From a man's perspective, this sentence may be a joke, but from a woman's perspective it is not."

"How to say?"

"Because, the first impression this sentence gives the woman is that the man has already made plans to remarry!"

Jin Qixuan suddenly felt very wronged and cried out, "No, I really don't think so..."

Seeing this, Lee Jun-gi said in a serious tone:

"Let me give you an analogy. If this sentence is reversed, and the woman says to the man, after you die, your good brothers will take good care of you. The man's first reaction must be, are you looking forward to my death?"

"Um……"

"Well, you go back, oh no, ask your friend to go back and tell the girl this..."

After listening to Lee Jun-ki's suggestion, Jin Qixuan nodded:

"Okay, thanks bro, I'll tell my friends."

Seeing this, Lee Jun-gi patted Jin Qixuan on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Well, I hope they can reconcile soon. Also, ask your friend for an autographed photo of Jieun for me. I'm her fan."

Jin Qixuan: “…”

Damn it!
After leaving the crew of "Flower of Evil", Kim Ki-hyun went to the supermarket and bought a lot of high-quality shabu-shabu ingredients according to Lee Joon-gi's suggestion.

When I got home, IU was doing yoga on the mat.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan changed his shoes and walked over to her with the food in his hand.
"Would you like to eat hot pot after practice?"

Hearing this, Lee Ji-eun maintained her posture, glanced at the ingredients, then glanced at Kim Ki-hyun, and said nothing.

Jin Qixuan was not discouraged at all, but rather happy.

After all, Lee Ji-eun just looked at him!
Better than ignoring it all the time.

After bringing the ingredients to the kitchen, Jin Qixuan began to tinker with them.

When Jin Qixuan brought the prepared ingredients and pot base to the dining table.

I don’t know if IU finished her practice or what, but she rolled up her yoga mat and went to take a shower.

When Lee Ji-eun came out of the shower, Kim Ki-hyeon had already set up the induction cooker and the pot was on.

Originally, Jin Qixuan thought that with Li Zhien's stubbornness, she would go to the kitchen by herself and make a box of instant noodles in angrily.

Unexpectedly, after Li Zhien came out, she just glanced at the dining table with a faint expression, then pulled out a chair, sat down slowly, and started putting the ingredients into the pot.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan's eyes lit up.

Even though he still doesn't speak, his willingness to eat at the same table with you is a good signal of goodwill.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the table was a little weird.

Jin Qixuan wanted to speak many times, but he was afraid that he would say something wrong and anger Li Zhien again.

By then, I'm afraid it will be impossible to coax her.

So, there was no other sound on the table except the gurgling sound of the hot pot and the sound of chopsticks hitting the edge of the pot when picking up food.

After three rounds of wine...uh, meat.

Jin Qixuan mustered up his courage, picked up a piece of beef roll for Li Zhien, and tried:

"Well, I want to answer your question from last night again and seriously."

Seeing that Li Zhien did not refuse or respond, Jin Qixuan continued:
"To be honest, I have never thought about who will die first between us, because it is a long time ago."

"As for that joke, I apologize to you. I was inconsiderate."

"Also, I have no intention of remarrying. If you die, I will put your urn in our living room. When I come home every day, I can see you at a glance, so you don't have to worry about me anymore."

"Of course, if you find it lonely, I'll buy myself a bigger one to keep you company!"

"..."

Lee Ji-eun paused her chewing and then returned to normal, as if she didn't hear what Kim Ki-hyeon said.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan didn't say anything more.

I just picked up various foods that Li Zhien liked.

After a while, knowing that her plate was piled high, Li Zhien finally said quietly:

"Where did you learn it?"

"what?"

"Those words just now."

"I thought of it myself."

"to be honest."

"Brother Junji taught me..."

"..."

Li Zhien rolled her eyes and complained:

"Really? Stupidity is contagious. You actually went to find him..."

"I went mainly to visit Director Hwang Dong Hyuk. I passed by where he was filming so I stopped by to check on him after get off work."

"Remember, don't tell anyone about your family affairs in the future."

"Yes."

Seeing Jin Qixuan looking like a bullied young wife, Li Zhien's mouth corners rose uncontrollably.

However, she soon realized the problem and tried her best to control it.

But in the end, she failed.

Because the more she tried to control herself, the more she wanted to laugh, and Jin Qixuan had been secretly observing her expression.

Li Zhien couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.

This smile proved that the cold war between the two had completely ended.

Seeing Li Zhien laugh, Jin Qixuan also laughed happily and asked:

"Are you not angry anymore?"

"Who said I'm not angry anymore?"

"So how can I not get angry?"

"do not know."

Although Lee Ji-eun was trying hard to keep a straight face, Kim Ki-hyeon could clearly feel that she was no longer angry.

So, Jin Qixuan told him that the KBS president had asked him for the videotape of their traditional wedding in the morning.

After hearing this, Li Zhien's expression gradually became solemn.

Whether the wedding video is made public or not is not so important. What is important is that KBS wants to use it to make a documentary to promote the intangible cultural heritage of the peninsula!

But in fact, where did the traditional wedding on the peninsula come from? Don’t the officials themselves have any idea?
When she thought of that scene, Lee Ji-eun felt ashamed, and even the hot pot she had just eaten began to taste dull.

Things like giant pandas are from the Peninsula and phoenix hairpins are from the Peninsula are not because these girls are uneducated, but because of the ideas and education they have received since childhood.

The upper class's ideological control over the lower class is extremely cruel, and their tampering with and theft of culture is even more unscrupulous.

Under the manipulation of chaebols and politicians, many people and artists really don’t know the original truth and appearance of some things.

Of course, there are many people who know but pretend not to know.

It’s like the knowledge education we receive now is a completely castrated version of the knowledge education our grandparents received.

At that time, you really knew everything after reading books.

Every chapter in a junior high school textbook becomes a new major in college.

Of course, times were different. At that time, the country had just been founded and there was a shortage of technical personnel in all walks of life.

But now, there is overpopulation...

"So you agree?"

Jin Qixuan spread his hands and said, "What can I do?"

Hearing this, Li Zhien gradually began to have a headache.

This documentary is a complete thankless task.

But, they don’t have the power to refuse, which is very annoying!

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan raised his eyebrows proudly and said:
"It's okay. I still have a trick up my sleeve."

"Oh?"

“Chairman Kim agreed to let me participate in the entire editing and post-production process, and I will try to downplay the issue of cultural theft when the time comes.”

"It can only be the."

Li Zhien rubbed her temples a little irritably.

"Okay, don't think about it. I'll tell you something interesting. Today, Kong Liu..."
