"Please come in!"
Following Yang Xianshuo's voice, the people in the office saw Xu Zhixuan wearing a cap and sunglasses. He walked in with a cup of coffee in his hand. When he stood there, everyone's gaze was attracted to Xu Zhixuan. After all, Xu Zhixuan had become Korea's number one sex and fantasy male celebrity, the number one male celebrity who wanted to date, the number one female celebrity who wanted to work with, and so on.
In the office, other than Choi Ho-woon, who was really serving at the side, and Yang Xianshuo, who was sitting in the middle, there was a middle-aged man and a young man. Xu Zhixuan directly ignored the young man. He didn't even need to think to know that the young man was the translator. When he saw the middle-aged man frowning, he took off his sunglasses and stretched out his hand. He spoke in Mandarin, "Hello, I am Xu Zhixuan. Because I was reading the script last night, so …" As he spoke, he pointed at the dark circles under his eyes.
As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to meet, but the little ghosts are difficult to deal with. The person who was sent to Korea to sign the contract couldn't be a nobody. Xu Zhixuan didn't want to offend this person because of his lack of manners and be entangled with him in the future.
The middle-aged man didn't seem surprised at Xu Zhixuan's Mandarin at all. It seemed like he had carefully checked Xu Zhixuan's information. His expression relaxed. After all, when Xu Zhixuan met him with sunglasses, he felt that he was being looked down upon. After listening to Xu Zhixuan's explanation, his impression of Xu Zhixuan improved. After all, regardless of whether it was true or not, at least Xu Zhixuan's attitude made him satisfied.
The middle-aged man stretched out his right hand and held Xu Zhixuan's hand. He said enthusiastically, "It's fine, I understand. I heard that Mr. Xu Zhixuan's Mandarin was very good. Now that I heard it, people who didn't know would think that you were from China! My name is Wu Yi. My name is Wu Yi. My name is Wu Tian Wu. Yi means perseverance. This is my name card. "As he spoke, he took out a name card and handed it to Xu Zhixuan.
Xu Zhixuan took the business card and pulled his hand back. He was not gay and had no interest in shaking hands with an old man for a long time. He extended his hand and said, "Mr. Wu, please take a seat!" Then he sat down opposite him and looked at the information on the business card.
"Huayi Brothers? Manager of the Public Relations Department, Wu Yi? "
Xu Zhixuan didn't understand why these people were from the Huayi Brothers. Wasn't this Jackie Chan's movie? It was also because Xu Zhixuan didn't know. After all, it was impossible to pay special attention to the production company. Huayi Brothers was a production and distribution company in China and was also one of the investors of "Twelve Zodiac".
"Yes. Your president has already told you the purpose of my visit this time, right?"
Xu Zhixuan nodded. He didn't ask anything about the Huayi Brothers. After all, it was none of his business. Moreover, it didn't matter who they sent. It was just a contract.
Seeing Xu Zhixuan nod, Wu Yi continued with a smile, "Originally, other investors were optimistic about several other Korean stars. However, the boss of Huayi Brothers, Mr. Wang, personally chose you after looking at your information. This time, I'm here to directly sign the contract with you. What do you think?"
The Twelve Zodiac chose Xu Zhixuan as Park Sang-woo's replacement so quickly because of the careful consideration of the other party. After all, Park Sang-woo's injury had determined that he had no chance in this movie. Considering the Korean market, they had to choose a popular and capable actor from Korea. Xu Zhixuan was in their eyes.
At first, they had directly confirmed that Xu Zhixuan would play the role. After all, Xu Zhixuan was capable and popular. His exposure in South Korea was also very high, which made them very happy. But Xu Zhixuan's sudden announcement of his relationship made them hesitate.
They couldn't be blamed for being realistic. After all, everyone knew the consequences of a celebrity announcing their relationship publicly. They couldn't possibly bear the pressure. So, a few other popular Korean male actors were suggested, such as Won Bin, Jang Dongjian, and so on. Xu Zhixuan didn't give up either. He sent out an audition invitation and part of the script.
However, the subsequent development was beyond their expectations. Xu Zhixuan's popularity didn't decrease, but increased instead. This made them click their tongues in wonder. After a few days of investigation, they finally decided to directly let Xu Zhixuan play the role of Park Sang-woo. There was no need to consider anyone else.
Of course, Xu Zhixuan didn't take Wu Yi's words seriously. He didn't believe that Xu Zhixuan would replace Park Sang-woo. The other investors, the director, the lead actor, and the boss, Jackie Chan, didn't know about it.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Chief Wang. There are no problems with the contract. It's just that I still have a fixed program in Korea. As for the time …" After consulting with Yang Xianshuo and Choi Ho-woon, there were no problems with the contract. It was in line with Xu Zhixuan's status. However, Xu Zhixuan still had to explain the schedule in advance.
When Wu Yi mentioned this to Xu Zhixuan, Xu Zhixuan already knew about it before he arrived. He had also called the company to ask about it. So, he directly replied, "Regarding this, we can negotiate. After all, you know that there are too many uncertainties in a movie. As for your program, President Yang just told me that it's not a problem to free up a week's time. This can be written into the contract."
After all, Xu Zhixuan did not have a lot of screen time. Furthermore, because of Kwon Xiangwoo's sudden injury, they had to replace him at the last minute. Originally, they needed to train a little, but Xu Zhixuan did not need it. So, some training time was freed up. Moreover, with Xu Zhixuan's status, it was possible for him to take a few days off every month.
Xu Zhixuan nodded. He knew it shouldn't be a problem, but he was still worried. From the script and his memory, he had watched > in his previous life. Park Sang-woo's character, Simon, was an all-rounded fighter and a racing master. He was in charge of all the travel arrangements. He was the only person in the entire department. He had to ride a motorcycle, fly a plane, and use all kinds of transportation to save people. Sometimes, he also had to use his body language to influence the enemy. He was Bonnie's husband.
If it wasn't for Jackie Chan's movie, Xu Zhixuan wouldn't have accepted such a role. However, in order to enter the China market, this compromise was still acceptable. It wasn't because Xu Zhixuan was arrogant or looked down on Jackie Chan's movie, but because of his status in Korea, it was destined that he couldn't continue acting in supporting roles.
"Then there's no problem. Happy cooperation!"
Seeing Xu Zhixuan nod, Wu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he thought it would be easy to convince Yang Xianshuo. However, after arriving at YG and talking to Yang Xianshuo, he found out that Xu Zhixuan was actually a shareholder of YG. Unless Xu Zhixuan personally agreed, no amount of persuasion would work with Yang Xianshuo. This made Wu Yi, who had just arrived, flabbergasted for a long time.
"Oh right, it's best if you can get to Beijing within this week and familiarize yourself with the actors!"
Perhaps it was because Xu Zhixuan's Mandarin was very pure, or perhaps it was because Xu Zhixuan's attitude was very good, Wu Yi admired him and made an exception to give him some advice. According to the contract, it was fine as long as he arrived at the filming location before the stipulated time. However, if he arrived early, of course, there would be benefits, so there was no need to go into detail.
"Okay, thank you!" Xu Zhixuan nodded in response to Wu Yi's kind reminder. He took over Choi Ho-woon's work and walked Wu Yi to the entrance of YG. After watching him get into the car and leave, he turned around and walked back. Outside YG's entrance, fans suddenly screamed, but Xu Zhixuan ignored them.
It wasn't that he was aloof, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, those fans weren't screaming at Xu Zhixuan. At this moment, a young man walked out wearing sunglasses with his hands in his pockets. When he saw Xu Zhixuan, he didn't care if he was at the entrance and immediately bowed.
"Zhixuan, why did you come to the company today?"
Most of the people in the company knew that Xu Zhixuan had been ordered by Yang Xianshuo to stay at home and not wander around. They sympathized with Xu Zhixuan for being attacked by Anti. After all, none of the Korean artists liked Anti fans, right?
"Oh, it's the Sun. Are you going out?"
If one were to ask who was the most trendy in Big Bang, Xu Zhixuan always thought that it was the Sun in front of him. His fashion sense was more in line with Xu Zhixuan's taste. As for Quan Zhilong, who was called a fashionista by Big Bang fans, Xu Zhixuan really didn't think so. How was he trendy? He should be a little non-mainstream. Of course, this was only what Xu Zhixuan thought to himself. He couldn't say it out loud because it would be too embarrassing.
"Yes, I'm going to buy some cold drinks and snacks. Bro, do you want to bring some?"
In Big Bang, the closest people to Xu Zhixuan were Quan Zhilong, Li Shengli, and Dacheng. Then came the Sun and Cui Shengxian. After all, the latter didn't interact much with Xu Zhixuan. However, their relationship was much better than that of the other artists in YG Company. This was also the reason why Xu Zhixuan often didn't come to the company.
"Okay, I'll go to your practice room later!"
Xu Zhixuan wouldn't refuse the Sun's closeness. After signing the contract, Xu Zhixuan didn't have much to do. It was a good way to pass the time by chatting with a few of his close brothers in the company. Besides, with Li Shengli around, there was no lack of gossip in the entertainment industry. Humans were all curious, and Xu Zhixuan was no exception.
"Okay, then I'll go first!" When the Sun saw that Xu Zhixuan had accepted, he ran out excitedly. He was also a lot more enthusiastic towards the fans outside. He couldn't be blamed because the news of Jackie Chan's movie inviting Xu Zhixuan to appear in it had already spread throughout YG Company. For artists like them, Jackie Chan's movie was unattainable. Now that Xu Zhixuan actually had the opportunity, even if it wasn't for them, they would still feel proud.
When they walked out or went on a show, they could boast to their friends that their senior from YG Company had received an invitation from the internationally famous Kung Fu superstar Jackie Chan's movie. That was something that everyone was envious of.
A few months ago, Kwon Xiangwoo was chosen by Jackie Chan's new movie. At that time, he occupied the front page of the Korean media. From this, one could understand how influential Jackie Chan's movie was in Korea.
Xu Zhixuan first returned to Yang Xianshuo's office. After chatting with Yang Xianshuo for a while, he took the initiative to leave and walked towards Big Bang's practice room. Because he was with Yang Xianshuo, he always felt that his mentality was aging. In order to maintain a youthful mentality, it was better to interact more with young people.
