Xu Zhixuan and the other two, along with the confused womenfolk, hurriedly left the ancestral land and embarked on the journey to Seoul. Although the womenfolk did not know what had happened, they could more or less guess something from the expressions of the three men. All of them kept their mouths shut and remained silent throughout the journey.
The matter of splitting the family assets was handed over to the eldest brother, Xu Zhiyong, and the eldest uncle, Xu Zhixuan, to handle. Xu Zhixuan rushed to the set. This time, he could deeply experience the feelings of his original body in the first 14 years of his rebirth. Regarding everything, such as family, motherly love, fatherly love, and so on, he quickly understood the feeling that Li Han had described.
Time passed very quickly. During this time, he met with Xin Dongzhu, but unfortunately, the conversation did not go well. They could only rely on their own abilities. Moreover, the set was nearing completion. Xu Zhixuan had been running between the set and RM. The matter of splitting the family assets had also made progress, but the Di family still stubbornly refused to let it go. After the movie no longer had any scenes for him, Xu Zhixuan had a rare chance to relax at home. Suddenly, an uninvited guest, Choi Ho-woon, suddenly arrived and interrupted his holiday.
"I say, did you see that I rarely have a holiday and deliberately came to play with me?" Xu Zhixuan opened the door and saw Choi Ho-woon holding a briefcase in his hand. He knew that his holiday was over. "Come in. It's best if you don't do anything tiring for me!"
"Uh, unfortunately, you can't get what you want!" Choi Ho-woon took off his shoes and walked in. He reached into his briefcase and took out a folder and handed it to Xu Zhixuan. "This is an invitation from SBS Television. They probably regret missing out on you last time."
Xu Zhixuan took a look and smiled. When the Law of the Jungle was first being prepared, Xu Zhixuan was also one of the candidates. However, at that time, Xu Zhixuan had not won the Best Actor award. Choi Ho-woon wanted to be the main MC, but the TV station had already chosen the main MC, so they could only give Xu Zhixuan the position of a regular guest. In the end, of course, they did not reach an agreement. After all, Jin Bingwan was not Yoo Jae-seok or Jiang Hudong.
"Guest?" Xu Zhixuan did not watch it. This was because he also liked to watch this show in his previous life. However, regarding the negotiations, he gave Choi Ho-woon the authority and did not interfere. After all, those conditions were for his own good. He could not act recklessly just because he liked it.
"I said, I'm so busy because of you, but you didn't even pour me a glass of water!" Cui Haoyun walked to the kitchen, took a cup, and poured a full glass of ice water from the fridge. After all, Xu Zhixuan was sitting on the sofa, so he couldn't expect him to stand up to serve him. "It's fixed. They said that they will give you the same position as Jin Bingwan. However, he will be the main MC and you will be the deputy MC. After all, they still do not believe that you can control a show."
The first episode of "Law of the Jungle" had been filmed, and Xu Zhixuan had also watched it. It was not much different from his previous life, but it was still not satisfactory. Everyone had not found their positions yet. Jin Bingwan, as the family head, was not as omnipotent as he was in his previous life. That was why he was invited. After all, Xu Zhixuan was a member of "Man vs. Wild." He should be good at this kind of show.
But if Xu Zhixuan knew about this, he would laugh. This was because he was not good at this kind of show. Even though he was a member of the production team of "Man vs. Wild," most of the show's decisions were made by other people. Xu Zhixuan could only give his opinions.
"What do you mean?" To be honest, Xu Zhixuan was not lacking in movie, TV series, and show invitations. After all, it was different from the past. Xu Zhixuan had won the Best Actor award, and his popularity had risen to the peak. His official fans had exceeded one million, and he had more than 500,000 paid members. He was almost catching up with Dongfang Xiangren in the past.
Choi Ho-woon drank a few mouthfuls of cold water. After moistening his throat, he said, "My opinion is to accept. Variety shows are the trend now. A good show can help you maintain a stable exposure. Moreover, you have already accepted the role of RM. If you accept another show, no one will say anything. After all, there are not many people who are more experienced than you."
Choi Ho-woon's words were not wrong. In a country like Korea, status and class could be seen everywhere. The entertainment industry was no exception. Directors, actors, singers, hosts, and comedians were all divided into different levels. Generally speaking, directors had the highest status. After all, this was the same all over the world. Actors were second, singers and hosts were equal, and comedians were at the bottom.
As for an actor who was "down and out" to the point of accepting variety shows and befriending comedians, in the eyes of actors, they were either down and out or had fallen. Xu Zhixuan was the latter. Therefore, before Xu Zhixuan won the Best Actor award, everyone only talked about him and mocked him behind his back. After he won the Best Actor award, no one dared to gossip about him anymore. This was the effect of status.
"But if I accept it, I will have to be free for at least ten days a month. What will I do if I accept a movie in the future?" Xu Zhixuan's worries were not unfounded. If he wanted to maintain his popularity, it was not enough to have a stable exposure. He also needed outstanding works. What if he received a suitable movie but didn't have the time? As for a TV series, with Xu Zhixuan's status, it was impossible. After all, he had even given up on a TV series like "The Secret Garden," which was destined to be a hit, so his attitude was clear.
Choi Ho-woon smiled slightly. His expression was that of a strategist. He replied, "Don't worry. I've already told the other party about this. They said that as long as you accept the invitation, they will add an additional clause in the contract. When you are going to film a movie, you can temporarily leave the car at any time and return after the movie is finished!" To be able to make such a promise to SBS Television, it could be said that Xu Zhixuan's popularity and his status as the nation's Best Actor.
In Korean variety shows, you could see many actors joining as regular guests in the past few years. However, there were almost none who had the same status as Xu Zhixuan. Even RM's Song Joong-ki had withdrawn from the show. It was clear that when actors joined variety shows, once their popularity skyrocketed and their movie was successful, they would withdraw from the show. This was an inevitable process.
"So generous? Looks like the title of the nation's Best Actor is quite useful! " Xu Zhixuan was a little surprised. When he first came into contact with the "Law of the Jungle", although the other party's attitude was still considered polite, they revealed the arrogance of a television station deep in their bones. Now that they had made such an offer, it looked like they didn't even care about their reputation in order to get Xu Zhixuan to join them.
Choi Ho-woon felt helpless that Xu Zhixuan didn't care about the title of the nation's Best Actor at all. After all, which celebrity didn't want this title? Which celebrity didn't pay a high price for it? If they knew that Xu Zhixuan had a look of disdain when he first received this title, and now that he had received it, they would probably want to commit suicide.
"How about it? Make a decision so that I can get in touch with the other party as soon as possible! " After all, the other party was SBS Television. Even if they lowered their status to invite Xu Zhixuan, they couldn't drag it out too much. This would leave a bad impression on Xu Zhixuan, for example, acting like a big shot or something like that.
Xu Zhixuan nodded and picked up the folder he had placed on the coffee table. When Choi Ho-woon saw this, he knew that Xu Zhixuan was actually inclined to agree. He smiled slightly and sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for Xu Zhixuan to make a decision.
After Xu Zhixuan finished reading the plan in the folder and the degree of freedom that was given to him, it could be said that it was full of sincerity. It made Xu Zhixuan feel that he was valued, especially when there was an additional title of Deputy Clan Leader. It could be said that Xu Zhixuan had taken half of Kim Bingwan's authority.
"En, I'll agree. Let's talk about it!" Xu Zhixuan made his decision, but this matter still needed to be discussed by Choi Ho-woon. After all, the invitation was only the first stage of negotiations. The next stage was the main point. If they wanted to invite Xu Zhixuan, they had to satisfy Xu Zhixuan's current status. He wouldn't lower his status to participate in the show.
Choi Ho-woon nodded. He was very confident about this point. After all, "The Lone Agent" was also one of the popular films at the Green Dragon Film Festival in a few months. Xu Zhixuan also had a high chance of winning the Best Actor Award, so SBS Television wouldn't be stingy in this aspect.
"Alright, leave this to me. You just have to prepare to go on the show!"
After saying that, Choi Ho-woon left. After all, he still had a lot of things to do. Xu Zhixuan looked relaxed, but that was because he had left everything to Choi Ho-woon. Otherwise, just reading the script alone would make him vomit.
"Sigh, looks like my hard-earned vacation is going to be ruined again!" Xu Zhixuan walked into the chore room and took out a backpack. This was a symbol of his friendship with Bale and the others. After filming "Man vs. Wild" for a few years, he cherished this friendship very much. "I wonder which corner Bale is in, enjoying his insect feast."
On a deserted island in Panama, Bale was eating a worm when he suddenly sneezed loudly, spitting out all the food in his mouth. After wiping his nose and mouth with his sleeve, he said to the camera, "I guess this sneeze is because someone is talking about me behind my back, just like Chase said. But this sneeze has helped. This worm has a strong taste, it's like eating sh * t, but it provides good protein. I still have to keep looking, my dinner depends on it."
Xu Zhixuan began to pack his luggage. It wouldn't be long before he had to carry his backpack and officially join "Law of the Jungle". After all, SBS Television gave Xu Zhixuan such good treatment because they wanted Xu Zhixuan to quickly join the show and increase the show's viewership. Otherwise, how could a dignified television station lower themselves and bargain with an actor?
Meanwhile, in Changcheng County, in the Xu Clan, the direct descendants of the three generations sat together. Xu Zhi Long said worriedly, "Dad, Uncle, Grandpa! Is there a need for us to do this? You must know that Zhixuan is not a simple person. Trust me! "Xu Zhi Long tried to persuade everyone to give up on their plans to deal with Xu Zhixuan.
"Ah, you have been away for a few years, and you have become so timid. If I had known earlier, I would not have let you go out. Instead of being a security guard, you might as well be a hooligan in our family!" Xu Zhi Jun was unhappy with his son's cowardice after being away for a few years.
Third Uncle slammed the table and said, "Alright. Listen to Min Hong. Anyway, once this news gets out, I want to see if Xu Zhixuan will still insist on splitting from the family. The few of you must help Min Hong and settle this matter well. After this matter is settled, all of you will benefit from the money." He still had not given up on the idea of extorting some money from Xu Zhixuan. After all, to him, it was only right for the main family to let the branch family give some money.
