"Cut! Let's take a ten minute break and do it again!"
At Director Park's command, everyone rearranged the set. Xu Zhixuan smiled as he patted Lee Kwang-soo on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. Didn't you see it? The car won't hit you. Calm down! "
Today's filming took place in the underground parking lot. Ding Qing was hit by Li Zhongjiu's car and Lee Kwang-soo stepped forward to protect Xu Zhixuan with Li Zicheng. Originally, Lee Kwang-soo did not have a part in this scene. However, after he joined Xu Zhixuan's company, Xu Zhixuan specially arranged for him to appear. The reason he gave was also very strong. As Ding Qing's bodyguard, how could he not do anything in this situation?
"Zhixuan, Brother Zhengzai, I'm sorry!"
Lee Kwang-soo's face was full of guilt. This scene had already been delayed several times because of him, causing everyone else to have to cooperate with Lee Kwang-soo. It could be said that all the actors on set, even the supporting roles, were Lee Kwang-soo's seniors. However, because of him, the scene was delayed. Lee Kwang-soo knew that if not for Xu Zhixuan's words, the other seniors might have already hated Lee Kwang-soo.
"It's fine. Everyone has something to be afraid of. Don't think about it. Just treat him like air!"
Lee Kwang-soo was also aware that Xu Zhixuan supported Lee Kwang-soo. In fact, Xu Zhixuan even inserted Lee Kwang-soo into some of the scenes that were originally good. Naturally, there were scenes that violated him. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't afford to offend Lee Kwang-soo and that he was a generous person, Lee Kwang-soo would have suffered!
"Yay! Thank you senior for your guidance!"
"Brother Zhengzai, sorry to trouble you. Let's go and rest first!" Xu Zhixuan smiled as he looked at Lee Zhengzai. This person had debuted earlier than him and was not even older than him. If it wasn't for his influence, he would have been afraid that Lee Zhengzai would get into a fight with the crew because of the changes to his scenes. After interacting with him for two months, Xu Zhixuan admired him a lot. Whenever he was free, he would try to rope him into the agency.
Lee Zhengzai nodded his head slightly and agreed. This wasn't the first time he had received such treatment. However, he was a little hesitant because he had a good relationship with Bai Changzhu. Naturally, he knew about the matter between Xu Zhixuan and Bai Changzhu. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong, but it would be strange if he wasn't wary when his friend was forced to leave South Korea.
Back then, he was also a member of C-JeS. It was only because he was Bai Changzhu's friend that he was afraid of being implicated. Bai Changzhu was actually a good person. Before the handover of the agency, he had terminated the contracts of Lee Zhengzai and a few other artists who had a good relationship with him. That was why when he took over the agency, the quality of the artists was average.
After Xu Zhixuan knew about this, it wasn't that he didn't think of pulling these people back. However, because of Bai Changzhu, he rejected all of them. Xu Zhixuan could only helplessly accept this. After all, his relationship with Bai Changzhu had already determined this outcome.
"Guangzhu, don't be too pressured!"
Before leaving, Xu Zhixuan did not forget to continue comforting Lee Kwang-soo. Lee Kwang-soo was someone that he had high hopes for. Moreover, when facing a car rushing towards him, even he would feel fear in his heart. It was just that he was mentally strong and could forcibly control it. Lee Kwang-soo was only at this age. At least, he had already overcome a part of it. Now, all he had to do was to make the right expression.
"Yay, thank you, bro!"
Lee Kwang-soo was very grateful to Xu Zhixuan. He had even heard some gossip in the crew. They said that Xu Zhixuan had arbitrarily changed some parts of the plot in order to support him. Originally, he was just a small supporting role, but now, he had become the fifth male lead.
"You think very highly of him!"
Lee Zhengjai was a little moved by Xu Zhixuan's attitude towards Lee Kwang-soo. This was because in his eyes, Xu Zhixuan did not seem like a high and mighty boss. Instead, he did not have a trace of dignity. This was also what he was worried about. His thinking was different from Lee Kwang-soo. He did not have to worry about not having any films to take on. At his level, he had already won the awards that he wanted. It could even be said that if the lead role was not Xu Zhixuan, he, the Best Actor, would not have swallowed his pride to take on a supporting role.
"Yeah, there are too few young actors in Korea now, especially those on the big screen. Which one of them is not the treasure of the company? It was not easy to get him, so naturally, I have to treat him better!"
Xu Zhixuan's logic was like this, which puzzled Lee Zhengjai. This time, seeing that there was no third person beside them, he finally could not help but ask, "Then, aren't you afraid that he will become arrogant because of your favor?"
Xu Zhixuan finally understood. It seemed that the reason why Lee Zhengjai did not accept his invitation was not because of Bai Changzhu, but because of Xu Zhixuan's attitude towards his company's artists. For people like Lee Zhengjai, if a boss did not have dignity, then the company's future would not be bright!
"Brother Zhengjai, you should have asked this question long ago. I thought it was because of Bai Changzhu that you did not accept my invitation. I don't deny that in the eyes of many people, I don't look like a boss, but I don't see it that way. I have never seen myself as your boss!"
"Why?" Lee Zhengjai was full of questions. How could Xu Zhixuan have such great power?
"Because in this industry, in terms of management, I can't compare to Yang Xianshuo! In terms of connections, I can't even surpass you! The talent I rely on is my eyes! I can leave the management of the company to a professional manager! If I don't have connections, I can make friends with people who do! What do you think you would think if I invited you to join my company with an arrogant look on my face? "
Lee Zhengjai suddenly smiled bitterly. If that was the case, of course, he would show respect to Xu Zhixuan, but in his heart, he was disgusted. Now that he thought about Xu Zhixuan's words, it was indeed true, but it had a huge impact on him. Which actor did not want to be a landlord? In his opinion, a boss should act like a boss and separate himself from the employees. He could not be like Xu Zhixuan, who did not have dignity at all. Would such employees still be afraid of Xu Zhixuan?
But when he thought about it, Xu Zhixuan was right. He was not the one who was managing the company. As long as they were afraid of the professional manager who was managing them, it would be fine. There was no need to force an expression of alienation from the employees.
In the end, this was a matter of vision. Lee Zhengjai had the most contact with the bosses of a few entertainment companies in the Korean entertainment industry. Which one of them did not have a dignified expression? Which one of them did not have a look of obedience? Only Xu Zhixuan could get along well with the artists under his company!
If Xu Zhixuan knew about Lee Zhengjai's thoughts, he would probably laugh. He would not be so cheap. It was not that there were no young actors in the company, but only Song Joong-ki and Lee Kwang-soo could receive Xu Zhixuan's attention. As for the others, Xu Zhixuan did not even know their names when he met them.
There was another point, and that was to buy horse bones with a thousand taels of gold. Was Lee Kwang-soo very famous? If it was in the entertainment industry or the modeling industry, Lee Kwang-soo was indeed a little famous. But in the acting industry, his fame was indeed ordinary. If it was not for RM, who would know that Lee Kwang-soo was originally an actor?
Xu Zhixuan wanted to make Lee Kwang-soo famous. It would be best if he could win a few awards. He wanted to let those who had rejected Xu Zhixuan see that they were not worthy of him. Look at Lee Kwang-soo, he had made him famous. Why don't you come to my bowl?
"How about it? Think about it!" While Lee Zhengjai was thinking about it, Xu Zhixuan began to persuade him. "Don't you want to go beyond Korea? You should know that besides Japan, there is another big market in Asia. I have some connections in China. Do you know Huayi Brothers?"
Lee Zhengjai had indeed heard of this company, but he did not know much about it, so he just shook his head.
"That is the leading company in China Entertainment. I have shares in this company. So, join the company, and I will let you enter the Chinese market!"
It could be said that Xu Zhixuan's temptation was indeed effective. Nowadays, after Korean actors received recognition in their home country, they would want to go abroad. Their first destination was naturally the United States, but it was too far away. So, they almost went to Asia. Among them, Japan and China had become the first choice for many Korean actors!
After Lee Zhengjai terminated his contract with C-JeS, he was a free man. If he wanted to go abroad, it would be impossible without the help of a big company. Especially after the experience in "Thieves' Alliance", if Bai Changzhu did not use his connections, it would be difficult to compete for this role!
"You know Jackie Chan's police series, right? Recently, I received an invitation from him, but you also know, so as long as you join my company, I can recommend you! "Since the temptation didn't work, Xu Zhixuan began to use benefits to solve it!
Sure enough, the originally silent Lee Zhengjai's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Zhixuan. He was relieved. As long as he had the desire, it was fine. He was afraid that Lee Zhengjai did not have the ambition. If that was the case, no matter how much Xu Zhixuan tried to tempt him, it would be useless. Anyway, he had heard from Jackie Chan. Although it was only a plan now, there would be a time to film it. So, he had to convince Lee Zhengjai first.
At most, he would ask Huayi Brothers to arrange a movie for Lee Zhengjai to test the waters in China. Then, he would participate in "Police Story 2013". He believed that Jackie Chan would owe him a favor. Getting a role for Lee Zhengjai would be a piece of cake!
"I'll go back and think about it. I'll give you an answer tomorrow. How about that?"
Xu Zhixuan had never thought of asking Lee Zhengjai to film on the spot. He was very satisfied with Lee Zhengjai's answer. After agreeing with a smile, he stood up and left. He walked to Park Xunjeong's side and asked him to announce that the break time had been increased to half an hour. He wanted Lee Zhengjai to think about it alone. He needed to calm down!
Although Park Xunjeong had objections, Xu Zhixuan was in charge of his wallet. Since Xu Zhixuan was not afraid of wasting money, of course, Park Xunjeong would not mind. It could be said that other than some small differences with Xu Zhixuan, he was very satisfied with everything else. Xu Zhixuan was very generous. He could let Park Xunjeong no longer worry about money!
At this time, Lee Kwang-soo walked over with a surprised look. He whispered into Xu Zhixuan's ear, "Zhixuan, there's someone looking for you in the break room!"
Xu Zhixuan did not pay attention to Lee Kwang-soo's expression. He nodded and informed Park Xunjeong. Then, he turned and walked into the break room. Once he entered, Xu Zhixuan frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
