Xu Zhixuan chatted with Li Shunzai for the whole afternoon before returning home. Today, Li Shunzai talked a lot with him, and Xu Zhixuan also revealed some information appropriately. Li Shunzai was shocked. He did not expect his disciple to be so ambitious. Fortunately, he did not continue to be stopped. Although he suffered a setback, this was what Li Shunzai wanted to see. He understood Korean politics better than Xu Zhixuan. If Xu Zhixuan had really succeeded and entered the political world, he would have been completely devoured. Xu Zhixuan might even have to thank the people who took action against him.
Time: October 7, 2010
Location: Busan Hayuntai
Sitting in the car, Xu Zhixuan was comforting Kim Sai Lan, who was nervous. Today was the opening ceremony of the 15th Busan International Film Festival, and Kim Sai Lan had won the Best Female Newcomer Acting Award. This was already announced internally.
"Uncle, what should we do? There are so many people outside!" After all, it was an international film festival, and a large number of foreign stars and directors had gathered. Just the presence of China's old schemer would certainly be lacking in Chinese reporters. After Xu Zhixuan stabilized the Korean market, his next destination was China and Japan. These were two countries that Korean artists could not avoid.
Xu Zhixuan held Kim Sai Lan's hand and comforted her, "Don't be nervous. Later, you just follow Uncle. Whatever I do, you follow. Just treat all those people as rabbits. Don't you like rabbits very much?" Because Kim Sai Lan had recently raised a rabbit as a pet, Xu Zhixuan said this to her.
"Okay!" Although she did not completely forget her fear, after holding Xu Zhixuan's hand, she felt a sense of security. After all, this was the first time that Kim Sai Lan appeared in such an international film festival. Her performance was already very good.
The car started and stopped after a few dozen meters. Xu Zhixuan was the first to get out of the car. He reached into the car and held Kim Sai Lan's hand as they walked out. Suddenly, screams and flashes of light came and attacked Kim Sai Lan. Fortunately, Xu Zhixuan held on to her and prevented her from falling.
Outside the venue, the host Liu Renna and Sun Haoying saw Xu Zhixuan holding Kim Sai Lan's hand as they walked to the stage. Liu Renna, who was in the same company as Xu Zhixuan, was the first to speak. "Mr. Zhixuan, the recent box office statistics released by the Film Revitalization Committee on the 26th show that the number of viewers for 'The Lone Agent' has exceeded the six million mark. It has even surpassed 'The Sworn Brothers' and 'Inception' to become the best-grossing film in Korea this year. Do you have anything to say about this?"
"Well, how should I put it? Although I was very confident in this film, I did not expect the results to exceed my expectations. However, all of this is because of everyone's support. Otherwise, 'The Lone Agent' would not have achieved such good results. As for becoming the best-grossing film in Korea this year, I want to say that it is all due to everyone's contribution. Especially the director, he worked the hardest!" Xu Zhixuan looked at the microphone that Liu Renna extended to him and pondered for a while. Then, he answered smoothly, as if he had memorized it beforehand.
After seeing that Xu Zhixuan had finished answering, Sun Haoying continued the interview. "Recently, many news articles have compared you with Choi Minzhi, saying that this year's Best Actor Award will be between you and him. Do you have any thoughts about this?" The topic was a little provocative. Xu Zhixuan looked at the other party and saw that he was very calm, as if he did not care.
Xu Zhixuan did not have any memory of this person in his mind. In other words, it was impossible for him to have a relationship with this person, and it was even more impossible for him to have a grudge against him. He could only put it aside for the time being and wait for an investigation. When faced with this question, he had to think thrice before answering it. If he did not answer it well, it could easily lead to trouble. He smiled and looked into Sun Haoying's eyes. "I am a little scared that they would compare me with Choi Minzhi. I have seen Choi Minzhi's movies, such as' Seeing the Devil. 'His acting skills are very good! Also, you have forgotten that there are several movies this year, such as' Sworn Brothers, '' Moss, '' Irreversible, 'and so on. The actors in these movies are also very good at acting. "
"So what you mean is that you don't seem to have much confidence in competing with Choi Minzhi for the Best Actor Award this time?" Sun Haoying was courting death. She could hit someone but not their face. She could do it once, but not thrice. Sun Haoying had provoked Xu Zhixuan again and again. That meant that Sun Haoying had done it intentionally.
Xu Zhixuan narrowed his eyes. Liu Renna and Kim Sai Lan, who were standing to the side, could feel the coldness emanating from Xu Zhixuan's body, not to mention Sun Haoying, who was directly facing it. However, with so many reporters watching, Xu Zhixuan smiled and replied, "This is not something that I can decide. It has to be decided by the judges. Otherwise, it would be useless even if my confidence was through the roof. Don't you think so?" After saying that, he did not give Sun Haoying a chance and let Liu Renna interview Kim Sai Lan.
As for why Sun Haoying provoked Xu Zhixuan, it was actually not a big deal. Xu Zhixuan had been exposed on 'Heroes' that he seemed to have a relationship with Lee Hyo-ri. Although it had not been broadcasted yet, those who were well-informed already knew about it. After all, with so many people present at the recording of the show, who could hide it?
After hearing this news, Sun Haoying hated Xu Zhixuan. When he was a member of the group GOD, he had liked Lee Hyo-ri and had pursued her. However, he had always been rejected by Lee Hyo-ri because she had someone else she liked. Therefore, when Sun Haoying found out that he was rejected by Lee Hyo-ri because of Xu Zhixuan, he took the opportunity to deliberately make things difficult for Xu Zhixuan by asking the following question.
After the interview, Xu Zhixuan smiled and held Kim Sai Lan's little hand as they walked down the red carpet. The fans who had been waiting for them on both sides of the red carpet screamed in unison. Their screams directly surpassed the combined screams of all the celebrities in front of them. When they heard this, the celebrities who had not yet entered the venue and those who were about to enter the venue all turned to look at them. When they saw that it was Xu Zhixuan, they understood. On the other hand, the foreign celebrities were at a loss. They did not know who Xu Zhixuan was and why he was so popular.
When they walked into the venue, Xu Zhixuan saw Jiang Dongyuan, whom he had not seen for a long time. He smiled and went up to greet him. "Dongyuan, long time no see. Your 'Sworn Brothers' was really good. Your acting skills almost surpassed mine!" He had indeed watched this movie before. It could be said that as long as it was a threat to his position as the Best Actor, he had carefully watched it. In the end, Choi Min-Shik was still the most threatening one!
Everyone else was basically at the same starting line. However, "The Lone Agent" had so many prestigious and experienced actors endorsing it. In addition, it had just been announced that the number of views had exceeded 6 million. It had leaped over "The Sworn Brothers" and "Inception" to become the year's top grossing film in South Korea. This made Xu Zhixuan compete for the Best Actor position. It was the icing on the cake!
"Brother, congratulations!" Jiang Dongyuan replied with a smile. Although his acting skills had lost to Xu Zhixuan's, he was not discouraged. After all, he knew who was behind Xu Zhixuan. Almost every actor with connections knew that Xu Zhixuan's teacher was Lee Shunzai. It seemed that they would not be able to compete for the Best Actor position this year.
Xu Zhixuan hugged Jiang Dongyuan and said softly, "Let's meet up when you're free!" After that, they separated. After all, there were still people coming over. Xu Zhixuan held Kim Sai Lan's hand and followed the staff to their seats to wait for the opening ceremony.
