Chapter 13 Company Dinner [Part ]

After discussing with Li Youjing, Jin Qixuan asked casually:
"Am I the first actor to be confirmed?"

"Yes, you are the first actor confirmed by our crew, but other roles will also be confirmed in the next few days."

Regarding this question, Kim Ki-hyun was purely asking Kim Jong-kook.

This is just like when a child gets first place in an exam, the parents will brag about it to their neighbors and colleagues.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to hear Kim Jong Kook praising himself in front of others, he was still very happy in his heart.

After all, no one doesn't like compliments.

after that
Jin Qixuan tentatively asked whether the role of Aze had been finalized.

"There are two candidates, and we are still considering them comprehensively. What? Do you have any recommendations?"

Jin Qixuan nodded, and said directly without beating around the bush:
"I think Park Bo Gum-xi is quite suitable. I feel like he is very similar to the character in the script."

"Park Bo Gum? Well, we will respect your proposal, and he is indeed one of the candidates we are considering."

After chatting for a while, the two shook hands with Jin Qixuan and said goodbye.

after that
Jin Qixuan was led by the staff to sign the film remuneration contract.

The pay is 500 million won, million for one episode. Half of it will be paid as a deposit first, and the rest will be settled after the crew finishes filming.

It’s the standard price for a new actor, nothing to complain about.

However, before signing the contract, Kim Ki-hyeon spoke to his agent Sheng Bingxu and secretly called Kim Jong-kook under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Logically speaking, the resources of this drama belong to Jin Qixuan personally and have nothing to do with the agency.

But the signing with the company happened to be stuck before the casting was finalized.

So Jin Qixuan was a little unsure whether to give a commission to the agency.

"Ah! Is fifty million a lot? Why didn't you even hesitate when you spent ten million on the bracelet?"

That’s different, that’s being cheated!

Jin Qixuan hung up the phone awkwardly, washed his hands, and returned to the signing room.

Sheng Bingxu had already talked to Cha Tae-hyun, and when he saw Jin Qixuan coming back, he told him directly that the company would not take a cut of the pay for this drama.

"No, Brother Bingxu, the company must take a cut, otherwise I won't be able to sleep or eat!"

Seeing Jin Qixuan's righteous look, Sheng Bingxu scratched his head, walked out of the house and called Che Taixun to ask.

"Haha, this kid is as smart as his uncle. Okay, let's do as he says."

It is obvious that Cha Tae-hyun has been in the entertainment industry for so long, and he is a master in terms of social skills.

After the contract was signed, the money was divided into two parts, one part was transferred to Kim Jong Kook's card, and the other part flowed into the company's account.

As for taxes, actors usually calculate them at the beginning of the second year and pay them in one lump sum.

Holding the brand new script, the two left the TV station.

Jin Qixuan had no schedule, so he suggested to Sheng Bingxu that he send him to the university to attend classes.

After the class, Jin Qixuan went to Bongeun Temple to ask for a Buddhist bead bracelet as a birthday present for his cousin whom he had never met.

I had no money and didn't know what she liked, so I just gave her a Buddhist bead bracelet to save trouble.

Two days later, Cha Tae-hyun posted a message in the company group, saying that there would be a dinner party tonight.

The location is the barbecue restaurant opened by Kim Jong Kook and HAHA.

9:00 p.m.

Jin Qixuan arrived at the Hongdae-ro 401 BBQ restaurant on time.

The entire barbecue restaurant was packed, the house was extremely lively and noisy.

In the seating area at the entrance, there were four groups of people waiting, mostly college students from Hongdae and tourists checking in.

The poster in the lobby on the first floor is a photo of Kim Jong Kook and HAHA.

There are name tags of the seven people from "Running Man" at the food delivery counter.

On the wall at the staircase are signatures and check-in photos of many celebrities.

The waiter led Jin Qixuan to the private room on the second floor. As soon as he entered the room, more than ten people looked at him at the same time.

"Well, here we are, all the people are here."

Upon hearing this, Jin Qixuan's heart skipped a beat.

I am a newbie, but I am the last one to arrive. I am so sad! !

then
Jin Qixuan quickly bowed and apologized:
"Cui Songmida..."

Cha Tae Hyun smiled and said:
"It's okay, it's okay. We just arrived early. Qixuan, please sit down."

"Inside."

The seats in the room were arranged in a long strip, with Cha Tae-hyun sitting at the main seat and the others sitting in the back row. Jin Qixuan changed his shoes, looked around, and sat down at the very end.

Opposite Kim Ki-hyeon is Park Bo-gum.

Park Bo Gum gave a cute smile and waved to Kim Ki-hyun.

Jin Qixuan also waved to him with a smile.

Although they both knew each other as agents, this was the first time they met.

Kim Ki-hyun goes to and from work every day, while Park Bo-gum is filming, so their schedules don't overlap.

Usually, Sheng Bingxu would make arrangements with Jin Qixuan first, and then go to find Park Bo Gum.

After all, Kim Ki-hyun has little to do and can finish it in a short while without delaying Park Bo-gum's schedule.

The two were greeting each other, and Cha Tae-hyun introduced them to everyone:
"This is our newly signed actor, Kim Jong Kook's nephew, Kim Qixuan. Qixuan, please say hello to everyone."

After hearing this, Jin Qixuan stood up and bowed before he could even warm his buttocks.

"Ne, Aniha Saiyo, Jin Qixuan Yimida, it is an honor to work with all of you seniors, and please take care of me."

After listening to this, Song Zhongji looked at Jin Qixuan in surprise:
"Are you Zhong Guo's nephew?"

"Yes, my grandmother is his oppa."

"Dafa!"

Song Joong-ki was a regular guest on "Running Man" for a year. Later, because his funny image in the show conflicted with the company's "handsome man" image, he was afraid that the audience would be distracted, so he voluntarily left the show.

However, although the time was not long, he still had a good relationship with Kim Jong Kook.

After all, when the show first started, it was basically a group confrontation, and he was always in the same group with Kim Jong Kook, and the show was positioned as a dog-headed military strategist...

Therefore, he is still very enthusiastic about Jin Qixuan.

"I didn't expect Jong Kook's nephew to be so handsome."

Lim Joo-hwan, who was standing next to Song Joong-ki, sighed.

Upon hearing this, Jin Qixuan quickly waved his hands and said, "No, senior nim is really handsome."

"We are all family, don't call me senior, just call me brother."

All the people in the room were from the previous agency that Cha Tae-hyun left in 2012.

The youngest member, Park Bo Gum, has known them for four or five years and they are very close to each other.

"Yes, Brother Zhou Huan."

Then Cha Tae-hyun introduced Kim Ki-hyeon to his friend who had partnered with him to set up this agency, and also didn't ask him to call him director or anything like that, but just called him brother.

Then they introduced their agent, who was also called brother.

Until the end, Cha Tae-hyun looked at Jin Qixuan with a smile and raised his eyebrows: "Don't call me senior in private."

Jin Qixuan understood, smiled secretly in his heart, and said respectfully on the surface:
"Yes, uncle."

Cha Tae-hyun didn't give them time to react. He gestured to Jin Qixuan to sit down, then said:

"There are a few things going on at today's dinner. Let me talk about them one by one. First, we are celebrating the third anniversary of Blossom Entertainment!"

The crowd applauded.

Cha Tae Hyun looked around with a smile, poured the wine and raised the glass:

"Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Yo Robben, let's have a drink together!"

"Wow~"

Everyone cheered and raised their glasses to pour wine.

Jin Qixuan looked around and saw that there was only soju and beer on the table, no water, so he looked at Sheng Bingxu for help.

Noticing Jin Qixuan's gaze, Sheng Bingxu glanced at his cup and asked quietly, "Don't you want to drink?"

"Inside."

Sheng Bingxu understood, turned to Cha Tae-hyun and said:
"Qixuan doesn't drink, and Baojian can't drink much either. Let them have some drinks, okay?"

Cha Tae-hyun stretched out his hand and gestured: "Can't I even drink one glass?"

"I'm fine, let Qixuan drink some water."

Park Bo Gum originally wanted to express his goodwill to Kim Ki-hyun by saying this, but he overlooked the topic that Cha Tae-hyun raised his glass to - [The third anniversary of the company's establishment].

In such a good atmosphere, even if you can't drink much, you won't get drunk after just one glass, right?

Therefore, Jin Qixuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"Yes, one cup is still okay."

It’s not that Jin Qixuan can’t drink, it’s just that he doesn’t know how this body behaves when drinking, and he’s afraid that he’ll say something wrong if he drinks too much.

It would be terrible if your most important secret was exposed.
