At the film conference, Xu Zhixuan arrived early. When he walked into the room, he saw Lee Jung-bum talking and laughing with several people. When he saw Xu Zhixuan, he smiled and pulled him to the front of the crowd. "Hello, our actor, Xu Zhixuan, is here. Zhixuan, let me introduce you to your future partners."
"This is Jin Xiyuan, the actor of Wan Shi. Don't be fooled by his bad face. He is actually a kind person. He is the same age as me. Just call him brother!" Lee Jung-bum brought Xu Zhixuan to Jin Xiyuan, who was the oldest in the crowd, and introduced him first. Obviously, he had the best relationship with him.
"Hello, senior. I am actor Jin Xiyuan. Nice to meet you!"
Seeing Jin Xiyuan salute him, Xu Zhixuan quickly helped him up. Although Xu Zhixuan started his career early, a few years had passed. To him, Xu Zhixuan was just a newcomer. Besides, he didn't really like the senior-junior system. He helped Jin Xiyuan up and said, "Brother Xiyuan, please don't talk to me like that."
"Xiyuan, you don't have to be polite with Zhixuan. He is such a person. He doesn't care about seniority. He is very easy to get along with!" Lee Jung-bum looked at Jin Xiyuan, who was at a loss, and explained.
Xu Zhixuan sighed helplessly. The seniority system in this industry was much more serious than before. Taking advantage of Lee Jung-bum's words, he said, "Yes, Brother Xiyuan, just call me Zhixuan. We will be in the same crew for a few months in the future. Don't be shy."
"Alright then, Zhixuan!" Jin Xiyuan saw that Xu Zhixuan was sincere, so he agreed.
"That's right. Come, Zhixuan, this is Jin Chengwu, Zong Shi's actor. He's the same age as you!" Lee Jung-bum said as he patted the shoulder of the person beside Xiyuan.
"Hello, Senior. I'm the actor Jin Chengwu. Please advise me!"
"Oh, how many months have you had?"
When he heard Xu Zhixuan's question, although he didn't know why, he quickly replied, "September!"
"En, then I'll call you Cheng Wu. You can just call me Brother. Let's just speak Pingyu."
After seeing Lee Jung-bum nod, Jin Chengwu also responded, "Zhixuan, please take care of me in the future."
"This is the newcomer Jin Tae Xun. Please teach him about acting in the future. Tae Xun, hurry up and thank Zhixuan!"
When he heard Lee Jung-bum's words, Jin Tae Xun knew that the director was trying to build connections for him. He said excitedly, "Senior Xu Zhixuan, I'm the newcomer Jin Tae Xun. Please advise me on acting in the future. If there's anything wrong, please criticize me severely."
"Director, you're really finding things for me to do. Okay, Jin Tae Xun, right? Just call me Brother in the future. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
Before Lee Jung-bum could introduce the last actor, he stood in front of Xu Zhixuan and said, "Uncle, my name is Kim Sai Lan. I'm the actor of Millet!"
Before Xu Zhixuan could speak, Kim Sai Lan, who liked Kim Sai Lan more, reminded him, "Sai Lun, you have to bow to your senior!"
Xu Zhixuan stopped Kim Xiyuan with a smile and squatted down to Kim Sai Lan and said, "Brother Xiyuan, there's no need. I don't care. Real respect is in the heart. You're Millet, right? You have to take good care of uncle in the future. We have a lot of scenes together!"
"That depends on whether uncle treats me well!" Kim Sai Lan smiled and looked at Xu Zhixuan in front of him.
"Why?"
"Because Uncle Director said that you're a good person, so I want to test uncle. If uncle lost his temper just now, then Uncle Director would be lying."
Xu Zhixuan turned to look at Lee Jung-bum. His eyes seemed to say, "Look at you. Fortunately, I have a strong character." Then he smiled and touched Kim Sai Lan's hair. He carried him and said, "Let's go. Uncle will take you to see the goldfish … Bah, I'm wrong. Uncle will buy you a big white rabbit to eat!" Seeing Xu Zhixuan leave with Kim Sai Lan, Lee Jung-bum did not stop him. This could improve their relationship.
When Xu Zhixuan came back with Kim Sai Lan after buying candy, he found that there were two more people in the room. When Lee Jung-bum saw Xu Zhixuan come back, he quickly introduced, "Zhixuan, the last actor is here. He is the Thai actor Tanayong Wangtelaku. This is his interpreter."
"Hello, I am Tanayong Wangtelaku, Thai!" When Tanayong Wangtelaku saw Xu Zhixuan come in, he introduced himself and the interpreter took him out.
"Hello, I am Xu Zhixuan. You can call me Chase in English. Can you communicate in English?" Xu Zhixuan nodded to Tanayong Wangtelaku and asked in English.
"Okay, I have no problem communicating in English."
After seeing that everyone was introduced, Lee Jung-bum clapped his hands and said, "Well, all the actors are here. Let's go outside. The reporters are waiting anxiously." After that, he led everyone to the platform that had been built earlier. They saw flashes coming from all directions.
"Director Li, may I ask …"
"Director Li, Director Li …"
"…"
After everyone appeared, the scene was noisy. All kinds of shouts were mixed together, and it was very harsh. Xu Zhixuan patted Kim Sai Lan on the back, which made Kim Sai Lan, who was a little frightened, calm down. But his hand unconsciously grabbed Xu Zhixuan's big hand, which seemed to bring him a sense of security.
Li Zhenfan picked up the microphone and shouted, "Alright, if you guys keep making so much noise, the press conference won't be able to continue. Everyone, quiet down. I'll call everyone out and ask them one by one."
Lee Jung-bum's voice came from the sound system, and the noisy scene quieted down. Usually, according to the rules of the press conference, the first reporter to ask a question was basically a reporter who had a good relationship with the production company or the director. So Lee Jung-bum pointed to the man who had been standing very calmly just now and did not make a fuss with the others, and said, "You ask first."
"Okay, Director Li, what is this movie about? Are you confident that it will surpass the record of your last movie, Hot Blooded Men?"
Lee Jung-bum said with a smile, "This movie is about a pawnshop uncle who lives next door to the little girl, Millet. Except for doing business, he never interacts with his neighbors. His decadent appearance and silent character make people have a lot of doubts about his identity. The naive Millet never paid attention to these rumors. She often visited this mysterious neighbor, and they gradually became friends … "
After talking for a few minutes, Lee Jung-bum pointed to another reporter and asked, "Director Li, why did you give up two excellent actors, Yuanbin and Jiang Dongyuan, and choose a newcomer as the male lead?"
"It seems that this reporter hasn't done any research on Xu Zhixuan. He is not a newcomer. He debuted as an actor in 1997 and acted in the movie 'First Kiss' with Cui Zhiyou. He also won the Best New Actor Award at the Green Dragon Film Awards with the movie 'I Fell in Love with My Friend's Sister'. So, Xu Zhixuan won this role with his own acting skills."
Another reporter was called. He stood up and asked, "Mr. Jin Xiyuan, you …"
"Mr. Xu Zhixuan, you …"
"Tanayong Wangtaku, you …"
"…"
The movie press conference was going on smoothly. Suddenly, a reporter asked, "Mr. Xu Zhixuan, is it true that you were forced to join the army because you offended a senior?" It seemed that he wanted to stand up for Xu Zhixuan, but Xu Zhixuan felt that there was something wrong.
"There is no such thing. I joined the army for personal reasons, and it has nothing to do with anyone."
The reporter seemed to have expected Xu Zhixuan to say that, so he continued to ask, "But we once interviewed a witness. According to him, you had a conflict with a senior at that time, and not long after that, you joined the army!"
Hearing the reporter's words, Xu Zhixuan knew that this person was not helping him, but harming him. Anyway, the incident that year was a hot topic, and they were all in the same circle. It was easy to find out, so he did not hide it. He replied, "Yes, I accidentally bumped into that senior because I was in a hurry that day, but there was no conflict like you said. I apologized afterward, and that senior also forgave me."
"But …"
Without waiting for the reporter to continue asking questions, Xu Zhixuan interrupted, "Alright, this is the press conference for The Lone Agent movie. Please ask questions related to the movie. I will not answer any other questions." In any case, the apology was real and the forgiveness was real. Although he had used some tricks, he was not afraid of being investigated.
"You are in a hurry to change the topic. Are you guilty?"
Xu Zhixuan ignored him directly. Lee Jung-bum also said directly, "Please don't ask questions that have nothing to do with the movie. That reporter, please respect yourself." Then he pointed to the next reporter.
"Mr. Xu Zhixuan, why didn't you come back after you retired from the army? Why did you go abroad for several years until now?" This was a reporter who had obviously investigated Xu Zhixuan. He even found the records of Xu Zhixuan's years abroad.
"This is because the army I was in was always in a state of tension. After I retired, I couldn't adapt to normal life and couldn't integrate into society. So I chose to travel abroad for a few years before returning at this time. The most important thing is that Director Li's movie has deeply moved me!"
The news with Xu Xian was still vivid in his mind. This reporter also knew that Xu Zhixuan served in the special forces, so he believed Xu Zhixuan's words without a doubt. How could he know that this was just a fabrication by Xu Zhixuan? The real reason was that Xu Zhixuan was avoiding the truth.
An hour later, Lee Jung-bum waved his hand and announced, "Well, the press conference is over. Everyone can go over there and enjoy the snacks."
