"Congratulations, Zhixuan. You've been nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Big Bell Awards. This is a nomination for the Best Actor Award!" Time passed quickly. Ever since the nominees for the Big Bell Awards were announced and Xu Zhixuan was nominated for the Best Actor Award, also known as the Best Actor Award, Xu Zhixuan's friends and family called to congratulate him. Just as Xu Zhixuan hung up on Jiang Hudong's call, Yoo Jae-seok called.
Xu Zhixuan could only repeat, "Bro, thank you for your concern. But it's only a nomination, not an award. Just take it as it is!"
"You can't say that. Being nominated is a certainty. Besides, your movie is so popular, there's no reason why it can't be …" Xu Zhixuan had seen Yoo Jae-seok's ability to talk. Once he started talking, he couldn't stop. Xu Zhixuan could only turn on the speakerphone and respond from time to time.
The Big Bell Awards, Green Dragon Awards, and Baeksang Arts Awards were the three major awards in Korea. They were also the most famous awards in Korea. Basically, Korean actors and actresses pursued these three awards. As for the other awards such as the University Student Awards and some niche film awards, they couldn't compare to the status of the first three awards.
"Zhixuan, I have to record a show. Let's talk after the show!" Yoo Jae-seok finally hung up. Xu Zhixuan looked at the time and saw that more than ten minutes had passed. He couldn't help but admire Yoo Jae-seok's eloquence. He spoke without repeating himself.
Dong dong dong! There was a knock on the door!
"Come in!"
Choi Ho-woon walked in with some documents and said excitedly, "Bro, the company just received a lot of scripts. These are the ones that we picked out. They match your temperament and are of good quality. Take a look!" As he said that, he placed the folder in front of Xu Zhixuan.
The folder wasn't thick, and it was just enough for one hand to hold it. Opening it, he saw the name of the movie and part of the script. Cui Haoyun didn't dare to take a deep breath, afraid that he would disturb Xu Zhixuan. He sat on the edge, drank some water, and waited.
"Come, have some fruit!" As for Choi Ho-woon, Song Ji-hyo knew him. Otherwise, she would not have let him in. After all, they had already moved into a new house. Other than the Xu family, only Choi Ho-woon knew about it. Even Yin Zhiyuan and the others did not know about it.
Choi Ho-woon stood up and took the fruit platter. "Thank you, Sister-in-law!" Song Ji-hyo smiled happily. She did not mind that this person who was older than her was calling her sister-in-law. "You're welcome. Do you want something to drink?"
"Eh? No, it's fine. I'll just drink water! "
Just as Choi Ho-woon and Song Ji-hyo were chatting, Xu Zhixuan finished reading the first script. He pondered, "Is the script for this movie realistic? If it's done well, it might push me to the top. Oh right, who is the director of this movie? Why isn't it written in the script? "
Of course, Choi Ho-woon knew who the director of the script was. It was because this script was adapted from the original novel of the same name written by the Korean author, Kung Ji-yong. It described an unsolved case that happened in 2005 in a school for the deaf in Maojin. Yang Xianshuo and he were very optimistic about this movie, so it was placed at the top.
"It's Hwang Dong Hyuk, the director of the 2007 movie, My Father. He has experience in movies that are adapted from real stories. The president and I are very optimistic about the future of this movie!" Choi Ho-woon gave a simple summary. After all, the following script was not bad.
Xu Zhixuan nodded his head. He did not make a decision, but his eyes never left the script in his hand. He was attracted by a sentence in the script, "We fight not to change the world, but to prevent the world from changing us."
Once upon a time, Xu Zhixuan had gradually forgotten the original intention of establishing the Antipressure Society. As time passed, he realised that he had been changed by the world. Saving the oppressed students in Korea, breaking the unreasonable senior system, and the school was a holy place. There should not be any darkness here.
The first group of members who used to follow Xu Zhixuan had gradually faded out of the Antipressure Society. Xu Zhixuan had forgotten when it happened. They used to be hot-blooded, but they had gradually cooled down. The spirit of fighting for the future had gradually disappeared.
He did not know when it happened, but the Antipressure Society was no longer the era of violence. It was full of interests, conspiracies, jealousy, hatred, and other negative emotions. There was no trust. They used to trust Xu Zhixuan unconditionally, but they could no longer see it.
The presidents of the major schools, the Senate, and the eighteen members of the Antipressure Society had fallen. They had begun to gradually deviate from their original intention. They had learned the ways of society and began to rank people based on seniority. The senior system that originally belonged to the Antipressure Society to eliminate the purpose of the Antipressure Society appeared again, which made Xu Zhixuan feel ridiculous for a moment.
"Are you okay? What's wrong with you? "As if sensing Xu Zhixuan's emotions, Song Ji-hyo worriedly held onto Xu Zhixuan and asked.
Xu Zhixuan was brought back to reality by Song Ji-hyo's words. He forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, Haoyun. You can go back first. Leave these scripts. I'll contact you after I finish reading them!" With his current emotions, he was not in the mood to continue discussing with Choi Ho-woon.
"En, okay. Then brother, sister-in-law, I'll go first!" Choi Ho-woon did not hesitate. He probably thought that Xu Zhixuan was affected by the script of "Furnace". Choi Ho-woon had also been affected when he read it. After all, it was a real life story. After reading it, his emotions were also unstable.
Song Ji-hyo stood up and went to send Choi Ho-woon off! Xu Zhixuan sat alone in the study. His eyebrows were tightly knitted together. He was suppressing his emotions very much until Song Ji-hyo came. She gently leaned on Xu Zhixuan's shoulder and said, "Yes. Can you tell me why?" Between lovers, there was no need for many words. A look, a movement, everything could be clearly felt. Song Ji-hyo could feel Xu Zhixuan's emotions at this moment.
"It's nothing. It's just that when I read this script, it reminded me of some past events. I'll be fine after a while!" Xu Zhixuan did not tell Song Ji-hyo the truth because there was no need. He did not want Song Ji-hyo to worry about these things.
Song Ji-hyo took the script from Xu Zhixuan's hands and murmured curiously, "'Furnace'? It's about 2005. It happened in a school for the deaf in Maojin. It's a sensational unsolved case of a student being assaulted? I think I've seen this news before! "
Song Ji-hyo was also an actress. In an instant, she felt that this theme was not bad. She continued to read and worry appeared on her face. Xu Zhixuan could not bear to interrupt her and said, "Okay, stop reading. It's so annoying!"
"Yes. I think you should take this movie!" Song Ji-hyo did not know why, but she felt very uncomfortable. Perhaps she was infected by the script. Or perhaps she did not want Xu Zhixuan to miss out on a good script.
Xu Zhixuan nodded and replied, "Don't worry. How can I give up such a good script? But I still have to look at other scripts. Maybe there are better ones! But how have you been recently? Have you received any movie scripts? "
"I have, but unfortunately, they're not as attractive as your movie. I'm not in a hurry!" After Song Ji-hyo became popular on RM, in addition to advertisements, she also received many movie scripts and TV series invitations. However, with Xu Zhixuan around, she rejected all of them because there were no classic scripts. Of course, some scripts with intense and romantic scenes were also excluded.
