PS: Thanks to Bing Feng Shi for the tip. Speaking of which, Remnant Flower almost couldn't catch her breath today. Sigh, her body really can't take it anymore. She needs to exercise more.
That evening, when Xu Zhixuan arrived at the hotel where "Day of the Landing" was wrapped up, he was indeed a little surprised. The big director was indeed a big director. He was much better than Lee Jung-bum. Looking at the grandeur, those who didn't know better would think that they were walking down the red carpet of some film festival. Thinking back to the banquet where he and Lee Jung-bum wrapped up, it was really shabby. That's why this matter couldn't be compared, it would only make people angry.
"Eh, why is he here? Isn't he filming Jackie Chan's movie?"
A reporter obviously recognized Xu Zhixuan, but it was normal. When Xu Zhixuan got out of the car, basically all the reporters present recognized him. Who asked Xu Zhixuan to be so famous now? It was Jackie Chan's movie, this was a chance for him to go overseas.
"Stupid, is there a need to ask? With Director Jiang's invitation, no matter how big of a star Xu Zhixuan is, he still has to come! "
What he said was true. If Xu Zhixuan did not have his own power and only had his identity as an actor, Jiang Digui would call for him and Xu Zhixuan would immediately rush over. Which actor in Korea would not want to work with Jiang Digui?
Xu Zhixuan faced countless flashes of light and could only brace himself. He was a little resentful towards his teacher, Lee Shunzai. Why didn't he tell him in detail? If he had known earlier, he would have worn sunglasses. Now, his eyes could only suffer, and he still had to maintain a smile. That's why it wasn't easy to be a celebrity.
"May I ask Mr. Xu Zhixuan, I heard that you have a relationship with an actress in the film crew. Does this indicate that your relationship with Miss Song Ji-hyo has reached its end?"
Xu Zhixuan pretended not to hear this question. One had to know that for this matter, he had made many unequal treaties to appease Song Ji-hyo. But when he thought about it, his teeth itched. Xu Zhixuan was suddenly angry at the other main character, Zhang Lanxin, who had caused this matter.
Because Xu Zhixuan had offended Zhang Lanxin badly in the arena, in order not to affect the progress of the movie, Xu Zhixuan had taken the initiative to reconcile. For this reason, it could be said that he was a filial servant for 24, and finally brought their relationship closer.
As a result, Xu Zhixuan had a thorough understanding of Zhang Lanxin. To put it nicely, she was simple and naive. To put it more realistically, she was a silly girl with a princess syndrome. She was spoiled by her time on the national team. After a few rounds of beating, the girl finally recognized the reality.
"Mr. Xu Zhixuan..."
In response to the reporters' questions, Xu Zhixuan responded with silence. He smiled and walked into the hotel under the protection of the security guards. As soon as he entered, he saw his other troublesome girl, Li Xiuxi! She ran over with a smile and took the initiative to hold Xu Zhixuan's arm. She said, "I am. Why are you here?"
Surprise, a great surprise invaded Li Xiuxi's mind. Otherwise, she would not have done something that could easily be misunderstood. Looking at the eyes of the other people who were standing at the door to welcome the guests, Xu Zhixuan could only smile and say, "It's your movie. How can I not come as your brother?"
As soon as he said this, the people around him immediately understood. Xu Zhixuan's girlfriend was Song Ji-hyo. This matter had already been made public. Xu Zhixuan could not be with Li Xiuxi in front of everyone. Saying that Xu Zhixuan was supporting his sister as a brother was not a big deal. This kind of behavior could be found everywhere in the entertainment industry.
"Hello, Director Jiang. I am ashamed to have troubled you to welcome me!"
As a big director, the work of welcoming guests naturally could not be done by Jiang Digui himself. Only a limited number of people came out. This time, other than vaguely knowing Xu Zhixuan's power in the entertainment industry, it was also because of the influence of his teacher, Li Shunzai.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time. I did not expect you to be Xiuxi's brother. If I had known, I would not have done this!"
The lobby was not a place to talk. Jiang Digui pulled Xu Zhixuan as he spoke. As for Li Xiuxi, she was naturally inseparable from Xu Zhixuan. In her eyes, there was probably only Xu Zhixuan. When she heard Jiang Digui's words, she smiled shyly. Although she could not say it out loud, she did not want to just treat him as a sister in her heart.
"Yes, this child has always taken care of my niece, Xu Xian, so I also feel close to him!" Xu Zhixuan smiled a little awkwardly. It was not because of Jiang Digui's teasing, but because of Li Xiuxi's initiative, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"Come, let me introduce you!"
Jiang Digui brought the two to the main table. The people seated here were either the main actors or investors. Being able to sit at this table proved that they had a certain level of ability.
When Li Xiuxi appeared holding Xu Zhixuan's arm, other than a few people being surprised, they were not too surprised. What had not been seen in the entertainment industry? However, there was one bald man with a protruding belly, who looked very plump and had a face full of smiles. However, Xu Zhixuan did not feel comfortable looking at him. He looked like a smiling tiger, and his eyes were full of hostility.
Xu Zhixuan did not need to think too much. He felt Li Xiuxi's grip on his arm and knew that the person Li Xiuxi was talking about was the one in front of him.
"This is Xu Zhixuan, the nation's Best Actor. Everyone knows him, so I will not introduce him too much!"
Who was Xu Zhixuan? Everyone present knew him, even the two foreign actors were no exception. Think about it, when they came to Korea to shoot the movie, Xu Zhixuan's popularity was at its peak. Not to mention announcing their relationship, it could be said that he was a household name in Korea.
Fan Bingbing would not let go of any opportunity to make connections, especially after knowing that Xu Zhixuan had participated in Jackie Chan's movie. She took the initiative to stand up and shake Xu Zhixuan's hand. "Hello, I'm Fan Bingbing. I've watched your movie, and your acting is very good!"
Without waiting for the person beside him to translate, Xu Zhixuan smiled and replied, "Thank you. I've also watched your movie, especially My Fair Princess. You know, that TV series was a household name in my country!"
Fan Bingbing smiled and sat down. She was neither proud nor discouraged by Xu Zhixuan's words. To her, reporting her name was just a way to make connections. Although she still couldn't escape from Jin Suo's halo, it was all because of that godly TV series.
"Who is this …?"
With Jiang Digui's introduction, Xu Zhixuan got to know everyone present, especially the owner of the hostile eyes. His name was Kim Anson, and he was the representative of the Korean investors of the movie.
"Thank you everyone for taking care of Xi Xi on the set. As her brother, I'll drink first!" Korea's drinking culture was similar to China's. They had always been toasting people with wine. After Xu Zhixuan drank his glass, the atmosphere naturally became lively.
Especially Zhang Dongjian, who had a particularly good impression of Xu Zhixuan. Perhaps it was because Xu Zhixuan dared to announce his relationship with Song Ji-hyo. Anyway, after a few glasses, the two of them called each other brother and brother, making the supporting actors envious.
Xu Zhixuan came a little late. When Xu Zhixuan came to the table, the others had already drunk a lot. Naturally, they were drunk by Xu Zhixuan. Because he had business to attend to, Xu Zhixuan did not drink too much. After telling Li Xi Xi to wait for him, he left with Jiang Digui.
"Zhixuan, is it okay if I call you this?"
Jiang Digui threw a cigarette to Xu Zhixuan and lit one himself. He turned around and stood by the window, looking at the cars coming and going on the road outside.
Xu Zhixuan maintained a smile and replied, "Look at what you're saying. Isn't my name called to be called? Moreover, you're an elder!"
Before he came, Xu Zhixuan had thought about why Jiang Digui was looking for him. Why did he not invite him personally, but through Li Shunzai's mouth? This forced Xu Zhixuan to ponder the mystery. If he did not know that Li Shunzai would not harm him, he would have suspected that his teacher was digging a hole for him. He was afraid that this banquet would not be a good one.
"I heard that you have shares in Lotte Cinemas?"
Xu Zhixuan knew that this news could not be concealed. The Xin family, who had been tricked by him, would not help him keep it a secret. They might even add fuel to the fire. However, he did not expect Jiang Digui to find out about it just a few days after the transaction was completed. He finally understood why he did not invite him at any other time, but at the banquet for the completion of the movie.
Seeing that Xu Zhixuan did not speak, Jiang Digui did not mind and continued, "I have a friend who is a senior executive in Lotte Cinemas. I got the news from him. After all, people like us pay more attention to this kind of news!"
Xu Zhixuan nodded. Indeed, as Jiang Digui said, Jiang Digui was not only a director, but also the boss of a film company. He needed to be responsible for his own company. Obviously, since Xu Zhixuan had shares in Lotte Cinemas, Jiang Digui took the initiative to use his relationship with Li Shunzai to meet with Xu Zhixuan.
"But I don't understand. With your name, Jiang Digui, Korean cinemas should not reject you, right?"
Jiang Digui smiled and said naturally, "No director would feel that they have too many screens. Moreover, in Korea, I am not the only good director!" This was true. There were many who could compete with Jiang Digui, but that was not the main point. In the end, they could not escape the word "benefit".
"You know, I just started. There are many things that I don't understand!"
Since it was about benefits, Xu Zhixuan naturally did not have the attitude he had before toward his elders. Instead, he brought out the true colors of a businessman. Although Xu Zhixuan was not outstanding in this profession, at the very least, Xu Zhixuan was an actor. Naturally, he knew how to hide his emotions.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I only hope that when Lotte Cinemas is discussing the schedule for this movie, you can come forward and give me a good time!" As Jiang Digui said this, his tone became flat. He spoke in a tone of equal status.
Xu Zhixuan nodded. He did not refuse this request. For the sake of his teacher, Li Shunzai, it might not be accepted if he mentioned it. However, Xu Zhixuan knew that if he mentioned it himself, the probability of it being accepted was very high. The people that Jiang Digui knew in Lotte Cinemas were not worth him.
"That's not a problem. It's just a small matter!"
Xu Zhixuan and Jiang Digui did not talk about the remuneration after the deal was done. For people at their level, a debt of gratitude was often the last thing they wanted to owe. Xu Zhixuan believed that after the deal was done, he would naturally see Jiang Digui's remuneration. In fact, he hoped that Jiang Digui would owe him a favor, but this was very difficult.
