Everyone voted for Jin Jidong's story. Even Yin Zhiyuan was no exception. Xu Zhixuan had helped Jin Jidong a lot. It could be said that his words had decided Jin Jidong's future.
In the end, everyone's gaze turned to Li Shunzai because he was the last person other than Xu Zhixuan. The title on his blackboard was very simple. It was "Xu Zhixuan in my eyes." If it had been anyone else, it would have been more or less eye-catching or exaggerated. Only Li Shunzai's title was simple, but everyone could see that this story was not simple.
"Teacher Li Shunzai, may I know the meaning of your title?"
Jiang Hudong had no choice but to ask. Who asked Li Shunzai to come up with such a broad title? But Strong Heart's theme was to tell an attractive and shocking story. He was afraid that Li Shunzai was not in the mood, so he assisted from the side.
"It's not as complicated as you think. When I received the sudden invitation from your show, I was hesitant about whether I should come on this show. After all, you know that I really don't know how to record a show. If the person who invited me didn't say that I only needed to come and talk about my story with Xu Zhixuan, I might not have come!"
Indeed, Li Shunzai was old. In the entertainment industry, especially in the acting world, he had such a high status. Under normal circumstances, he would not lower his status to be a guest on a show. He would even be there to serve as a foil to someone else's existence. If this person was not Xu Zhixuan, Li Shunzai might have chased the person who invited him out. What a joke! Who am I? Even if I'm going on a show, I have to be the main character!
Moreover, the invitation was rushed. Not only Li Shunzai, even the other guests were not prepared. They rushed over at the last minute and recorded in a hurry. These stories were all thought up by them at the last minute. But Li Shunzai was different. After receiving the invitation last night, he began to think about his story with Xu Zhixuan. In the end, he came up with such a simple but broad title.
"Yeah, you're right. It's our fault!" What else could Jiang Hudong do? He could only pretend that the person who spoke was Li Shunzai.
"The first time I met Zhixuan should be in 1996. As for the exact time … I can't remember. After all, I'm old and a little forgetful!" When Li Shunzai was halfway through his explanation, he couldn't remember the exact time, so he could only explain with a wry smile. When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to say anything.
"At that time, it was Xian Shuo who called me over. One day, he came to my house and told me that he had met a good seedling. She had never learned any acting skills, but she had the temperament of a natural actor. That's the highest level of acting, the temperament of a natural actor!"
Yang Xianshuo also nodded and said, "That's right. At that time, Xu Zhixuan gave me the feeling that he was full of spiritual energy. This reminded me of some of the rumors I heard from Uncle Li, so I couldn't wait to look for Uncle Li."
"At that time, I watched the video that Xian Shuo brought over a few times. Indeed, there was a bit of flavor. She portrayed her childishness and naivety very well. At that time, I thought that this was a good seedling. I was a little anxious. After all, I wasn't young at that time. Naturally, I wanted to teach others what I had learned. However, all this time, no one had caught my eye!"
At this time, Jiang Hudong stepped forward and said, "Everyone, don't underestimate Teacher Li Shunzai's taste. It can be said that the actors that caught his eye were only taught a little. They were also famous actors in the entertainment industry. For example, the famous actors Teacher Bai Rixie and Teacher Jiang Fuzi. Perhaps many people don't know them, but it doesn't matter. The most recent representatives are Xu Zhixuan, Song Ji-hyo, Gu Huishan, and so on. Among them, except for Xu Zhixuan, who was his only disciple, the others had all learned from Teacher Li Shunzai!"
Li Shunzai didn't mind being interrupted by Jiang Hudong. After all, Jiang Hudong was putting in a good word for him. Even someone like Li Shunzai didn't dislike being worshipped by others. Xu Zhixuan was the only thing he was proud of in his life. If it wasn't for the incident that happened back then, which caused him to leave the entertainment industry for ten years, Xu Zhixuan's achievements would have been guaranteed to not only stop within the country.
"This child is also very stubborn. Because my teaching method is not like the big companies nowadays, where they hire acting teachers to teach them skills and so on. In the first two years of my tutelage, other than teaching him how to deal with people, I didn't teach him any acting skills at all. I always had him follow me and play small roles in the film crew!"
These words made even Xu Zhixuan a little embarrassed. He understood that Xu Zhixuan was very talented and could actually comprehend things on his own. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Everyone, don't just listen to Teacher Li and believe him. Actually, although Teacher Li didn't teach me openly, he often secretly asked the other members of the film crew to give me reminders. If it weren't for Teacher Li's existence, allowing me to play in the various film crews and under the guidance of various capable actors, I wouldn't have been able to graduate so quickly. I even won the Best Newcomer Award right after my debut!"
"This is all due to your own hard work. If you didn't have this kind of talent, no matter how much I taught you, it wouldn't have had any effect. It's just that back then … sigh!" When Li Shunzai said that he was moved, he couldn't help but feel sad. He didn't resent anyone but himself for not being able to protect Xu Zhixuan. Who asked him to be a useless teacher? When he thought of this, his lips twitched a few times and a sense of helplessness rose in his heart.
Sitting beside him, Xu Zhixuan could clearly feel the change in Li Shunzai. He didn't make any unnecessary movements and only held Li Shunzai's hand. He felt very guilty. Back then, he had been arrogant and conceited, but he had hurt and disappointed Li Shunzai, who had high expectations of him.
At this moment, Jiang Hudong seemed to have thought of something. His expression showed that he was struggling. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Teacher, when Zhixuan first debuted, he became famous in one battle and received the recognition of the Best Newcomer. Logically speaking, Zhixuan should have followed up his victory with a hot pursuit. Why did he suddenly join the army?"
Jiang Hudong's words shocked everyone. Even Li Shengji, who was standing beside him, looked at his older brother in disbelief. Why did Xu Zhixuan join the army at the peak of his popularity? As his friend, even Li Shengji knew the reason, let alone the close Jiang Hudong. But what was this older brother doing now?
Li Shunzai looked at Jiang Hudong's stubborn expression and sighed in his heart. It looked like Xu Zhixuan's older brother wasn't in vain. After Yoo Jae-seok and Jin Jidong looked at each other, their gazes instantly became resolute. They asked in unison, "Teacher, actually, I'm also very curious. Can you tell us more?"
"This!" Xu Zhixuan was touched but also worried. After all, this matter involved too many people. Even Xu Zhixuan himself didn't dare to bring up old scores. Even before Park Jinhui took the position of president, he still didn't dare to directly settle the matter with the three chaebols.
Now that Jiang Hudong had started, Yoo Jae-seok and Jin Jidong also followed. Xu Zhixuan was deeply afraid that the three of them would be suppressed because of him. He quickly forced a smile and said, "This is nothing, but I …" Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Li Shunzai. "Alright, Zhixuan, you don't have to say anymore. Let me do it!"
"You want to know?" Li Shunzai looked at Jiang Hudong seriously.
Jiang Hudong's eyes didn't have a trace of hesitation. He nodded and said, "Yes!"
"You guys want to know too?"
Yoo Jae-seok and Jin Jidong felt a lot of pressure from Li Shunzai's stare. However, when they thought about how Xu Zhixuan had helped them in the past and how they didn't have anything to help Xu Zhixuan, the only thing they could rely on was their influence. They gritted their teeth and nodded. "Yes!"
Just as they were asking each other, an assistant director below the stage frowned and asked the head director, "Should we stop them?" Obviously, he had also heard about Xu Zhixuan's past. After all, people who could climb to this position naturally knew that if this topic was exposed, even if they edited it and didn't broadcast it, it would still be spread. This was obviously very disadvantageous for their program.
"Why should we stop them?"
The head director silently lit a cigarette and looked at Xu Zhixuan, who was sitting in the chair. In fact, he could be said to be in the same camp as Xu Zhixuan, belonging to the New National Party. It was just that Xu Zhixuan supported Park Jinhui, while he supported another person. However, if the Democratic Party's triple assassination of Xu Zhixuan was exposed, it would obviously benefit the New National Party. Even if something happened, the pressure would be on Xu Zhixuan and Jiang Hudong. Why not?
"This … they want to …" The assistant director wanted to say something but was interrupted by the head director. "Okay, you go do your own thing. I know what to do!"
On the stage, Li Shunzai's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice, "Okay, since you want to know, I'm not afraid to tell you. Anyway, it's not something shameful. Even I didn't expect that when Zhixuan was popular, he would suddenly receive an enlistment notice from the army. After all, artists like us will definitely enlist, but it can't be so sudden. You have to know that the enlistment period had already passed."
"Oh, is there a secret behind it?"
Jiang Hudong could be considered to have thrown caution to the wind. This time, he was completely on Xu Zhixuan's side, on Park Jinhui's side, and on the Neo National Party's side. If Park Jinhui successfully ascended to the top, then it didn't matter. Jiang Hudong could continue to be her host and even receive some small favors from the Neo National Party.
However, if the next president was chosen by the Democratic Party, then Jiang Hudong's position as a host would completely disappear. Although he wouldn't be forced to leave the entertainment industry like Jin Jidong, it wouldn't be much better. It could be said that Jiang Hudong's decision to stand up at this time was obviously not a good one.
Xu Zhixuan sat there calmly. At this moment, he was very relaxed. With his brothers who supported him so strongly and his teacher who helped him without complaint, Xu Zhixuan had nothing to be afraid of. Although the outcome would never be known until the end, unfortunately, there was an exception, and that was Xu Zhixuan. He was a reincarnator. No one knew better than him that even without Xu Zhixuan's help, Park Jinhui would still ascend to the position of president.
