"Since your manager is here, I won't bother you anymore!" When Chen Kun saw Cui Haoyun walking over from afar, he naturally knew that Xu Zhixuan's manager wouldn't come to the set personally if there wasn't anything important. So, he didn't stay and bid farewell before leaving.
Xu Zhixuan felt helpless when he saw Choi Ho-woon. He scratched his head and said gloomily, "Didn't I say that all interviews are to be rejected? Even if it's from Daily Choi, it's the same. Do you understand?"
In the past two days, not to mention Cui Haoyun, even Xu Zhixuan was annoyed to death. He did not know how someone got his private phone number. After all, Xu Zhixuan was now using a card that he only got after coming to China. Generally, other than close friends, no one would know about it.
"This is not an interview. It's a movie!"
Choi Ho-woon had been insomniac from the phone calls for the past two days. Fortunately, the time difference between China and Korea was not that big. It was only about an hour, which gave him a few hours of sleep. For the past two days, he did not need an alarm. His phone would ring punctually to wake him up. Basically, other than sleeping time, his phone would always be on the line.
"Movie? How's the script? "
Xu Zhixuan only had one movie contract, "Di Renjie's Dragon King of the Divine Capital". Moreover, his scenes were almost done. The next movie was not confirmed yet. According to his plan, he wanted to break into the Chinese market in 2013 and lay a good foundation here. Therefore, in 12 years, Xu Zhixuan did not plan to rest. He was prepared to continue acting until the end of the year. After Park Jinhye won the presidential election this year, Xu Zhixuan would be even busier next year. He might even take a break from acting for a year.
"The script is good, but …"
As Xu Zhixuan's manager, he naturally knew about Xu Zhixuan's plan. Therefore, Choi Ho-woon was speechless. This was because the script was sent from Korea. However, he had read the script and it was a rare good movie. It was not worth it to give it up, so he came personally.
"But what? Hurry up, I don't have much time to rest! "
Xu Zhixuan only gave Choi Ho-woon an hour to rest. Since Choi Ho-woon wasn't satisfied with the action scene just now, he had to rearrange it. However, half an hour had passed, and Xu Zhixuan didn't have the time to play guessing games with Choi Ho-woon.
"It's just that this movie is from Korea!"
Choi Ho-woon's words made Xu Zhixuan frown slightly. According to the plan, he would temporarily give up on his career in Korea when he entered the Chinese market. He would even withdraw from the Law of the Jungle. Now that it was a movie that Choi Ho-woon approved, it was needless to say that it was outstanding. After all, if it was not outstanding, Choi Ho-woon would definitely not mention it.
"The script is very good?"
Choi Ho-woon nodded and replied, "Yes, it's very good. Although it is suspected of imitating the Hong Kong movie 'Infernal Affairs,' the script is somewhat innovative. I have high hopes for it!"
Choi Ho-woon was not lying. In fact, when he received the script and invitation for the movie called "New World," he did not directly reject it. Although Xu Zhixuan planned to focus on the Chinese market, as Xu Zhixuan's manager, he would still pay attention to some good works.
When he first read the script of "New World," Choi Ho-woon frowned because the content was very similar to the Hong Kong movie "Infernal Affairs." At first, he thought it was plagiarism. Later on, he took a closer look and found that the content was indeed imitating Hong Kong's "Infernal Affairs" and the United States' "Infernal Affairs." However, there were some innovations in it.
This made Choi Ho-woon feel very troubled. Should he keep the script? In the end, after thinking it over, he decided to let Xu Zhixuan decide. This was because he saw a name on the list of actors in the script. That name was Song Ji-hyo.
Xu Zhixuan first looked at Choi Ho-woon in surprise. Usually, Choi Ho-woon would reject such a script. No matter how good the movie was, it could not escape from imitating other movies. He asked curiously, "Choi Ho-woon, did you accept money from others?"
"What do you mean? Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Choi Ho-woon did not know whether to laugh or cry. Although he was not rich, after Xu Zhixuan became famous, he never had to worry about money. Xu Zhixuan even gave him 1% of YG's shares.
Xu Zhixuan immediately smiled. Thinking about it, if Cui Haoyun dared to accept money, he would not continue to be his agent. He smiled and asked, "Tell me honestly. I don't believe that you don't have other reasons. You know that my plan is to enter the Chinese market in one fell swoop, and you still recommend movies from Korea to me."
"Zhixiao's name is on the list of actors!" Choi Ho-woon did not plan to hide it from Xu Zhixuan. He took out the script from his backpack and handed it to Xu Zhixuan. He continued, "You should take a look. I'm leaving first. I've been too busy these past two days. Even when I was taking a shower or going to the toilet, I was answering calls!"
Just as he finished speaking, another call came in. Choi Ho-woon raised the phone in his hand with a bitter face and said, "See, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Go ahead and do your work. Don't forget to give me an answer after you've finished reading the script!"
After Choi Ho-woon left, Xu Zhixuan looked at the script. After inviting Song Ji-hyo, this movie still wanted to invite him. It seemed that the director had a good eye. Regardless of other things, Xu Zhixuan and Song Ji-hyo's relationship was enough to make the movie interesting. No matter how bad the movie was, it would not make a loss.
"Interesting!"
He briefly skimmed through the script. This was not the entire script. It was just the part that invited Xu Zhixuan to act in. However, from the script, it could be seen that although the screenwriter, Park Sunjeong, had cleverly used the undercover model of "Infernal Affairs," it was a completely different story when it came to an undercover movie. However, many of the contents were imitated from "Infernal Affairs."
"I say, Zhixuan, what are you looking at? The director is calling you!"
Ever since Yang Ying broke up with Huang Xiaoming, she was obviously more concerned about their relationship. After Xu Zhixuan's consolation that night, Yang Ying became more and more enthusiastic. She kept calling him "Zhixuan," and "Zhixuan." Those who did not know would think that there was something fishy going on between the two. Luckily, Xu Zhixuan had just gotten married and was Huang Xiaoming's good friend.
"Oh, is that so? Then let's go! "Xu Zhixuan put away the script and handed it to Lim Yoon-jin.
After wrapping up for the day, Xu Zhixuan boarded the nanny van and followed everyone back to the hotel. As he exited the set, he saw a group of reporters directly following him. Xu Zhixuan sighed helplessly. Chen Kun, who was beside him, said angrily, "Why are you sighing when there are so many reporters chasing after you? You're just pretending to be innocent!"
Indeed, as a celebrity, it was only when people paid attention to them that they became popular. If there were reporters chasing after them for interviews, it meant that they were popular. If they ignored you when you stood in front of a reporter, it meant that you were already dead in the industry and could choose to change careers.
"You don't understand. If it was because of anything else, even if it was a scandal, it wouldn't have mattered. But it had to be because of Li Yingai. You know that she and I already have our own families. I'm afraid that if I say something, the reporters will change it and hurt our families. Wouldn't I become a sinner?"
Xu Zhixuan was also helpless. He really did not want to drag Li Yingai into this. Even though he had spoken to Li Yingai on the phone the other day and she had said that she could stand up if necessary, Xu Zhixuan had never thought that she would really stand up for herself. To put it bluntly, he was afraid that Li Yingai would be put in a difficult position in front of her husband.
However, he did not know that Li Yingai's husband was now eagerly waiting for Xu Zhixuan to call Li Yingai, hoping that she would step forward to clarify the matter. That way, Xu Zhixuan would owe Li Yingai a favor, and then Zheng Haoying would be able to connect with Xu Zhixuan.
"I don't understand you, sigh!"
Chen Kun did not understand the complexity of the matter, and naturally, he could not understand Xu Zhixuan's concerns. However, as his good friend who had been together recently, naturally, he could see that Xu Zhixuan's feelings for Li Yingai had not broken. However, Xu Zhixuan was already married. Chen Kun wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but he did not know what to say. He could only silently support Xu Zhixuan.
"Don't talk about me. Let's talk about you. What are you thinking? Not to mention that you are not young anymore, even Youyou needs a mother!"
Xu Zhixuan was familiar with Chen Kun, and naturally, he knew some things about Chen Kun. He also knew who Youyou's biological mother was. However, it was not a solution for the two of them to keep dragging it out. However, he was quite envious of Chen Kun for having a son. He and Song Ji-hyo had been working hard for the past two years, but there was no definite result.
When Lim Eun-jung found out from Song Ji-hyo, she anxiously sent the two of them to the hospital for a detailed examination. However, the final report was that there was no problem with the two of them. It could only be said that the time had come. Therefore, Xu Zhixuan could only wait. As a person of two lifetimes, when their ages were added together, they could already be a grandfather. Naturally, he hoped to have a child as soon as possible.
"My situation is different from yours!"
Seeing that Xu Zhixuan mentioned this, Chen Kun's expression showed that he was in a difficult position. Xu Zhixuan saw this and knew that he was being rash. He patted Chen Kun's shoulder and explained, "You know, I am just concerned about you. I don't mean that …"
"I know, you don't have to explain!"
Chen Kun smiled. He understood Xu Zhixuan's concern for him. Ever since he introduced Youyou to Xu Zhixuan, he knew that Xu Zhixuan really wanted to have Youyou. He even took her as his godson. This was also the reason why their relationship became closer.
"Oh right, when you came to film the movie, you sent Youyou to your mother?"
Chen Kun nodded. He didn't understand why Xu Zhixuan asked this. It was because it was always like this. When he had something to do, he would hand the child over to his mother. It could be said that this child was a little similar to Chen Kun's childhood. Most of the time, he lived with his mother.
"Next time, just bring her over directly. Anyway, who doesn't know that you have a child? Now that the child has grown up!"
Xu Zhixuan didn't say much. He thought that Chen Kun would understand because he had experienced his parents' divorce. Although Youyou's situation was much better than Chen Kun's, family was something that children needed the most. As Youyou grew up, he naturally couldn't treat her the same as before.
"Okay, I understand!" Chen Kun smiled and nodded. He seemed to understand something.
