Chapter 295: How glorious it is outside, how miserable it is in the crew
April 9th.

The Cannes Organizing Committee announced the list of shortlisted films for the 71st Film Festival on its official website.

"My First Brother" is on the list.

After the official announcement, Jin Qixuan immediately posted a message on SNS to celebrate.

“Congratulations to My First Brother for being shortlisted for the non-competitive screening section of the Cannes Film Festival! Thank you to Director Lu Xiangxiao for his guidance, and thank you to all the crew members for their hard work. I look forward to meeting you all in Cannes and witnessing this moment together!”

This piece of news was like a stone thrown into a lake, quickly causing thousands of waves.

Domestic audiences and fans were very excited and left messages to congratulate them.

[Looking forward to actor Kim!!!]

[Oh my goodness, here we go again! ]

[He is an international superstar, looking forward to the release date! ]

[Jin Qixuan is all over the internet again! 】

[Trivia: Jin Qixuan will not only attend the Cannes Film Festival this time, but will also attend Kering Group's dinner and Gucci's fashion show after the event.]

[Wow, our actor Kim has always been on the high end! ]

……

Following the heated discussions among netizens, the media also reported the good news and spoke highly of Jin Qixuan's acting career.

Jin Qixuan once again dominated the hot searches.

At the same time, Bong Joon-ho, who noticed the news, sent a congratulatory message to Kim Ki-hyeon and invited him to dinner.

As early as the end of March, the main cast of the movie "Parasite" had been confirmed.

The first two core actors selected were Song Kang-ho and Kim Kye-hyun.

Then, with them as the center, other supporting roles were finalized one by one.

Since the beginning of April.

Bong Joon-ho enthusiastically traveled around and invited every main actor out for dinner.

Communicate face to face and try to make everyone fully understand the role before filming starts.

There is still half an hour before the dinner appointment with Jin Qixuan.

Bong Joon-ho was already waiting in the private room.

Song Kanghao also came with him.

In 02, Bong Joon-ho was just a fledgling new director.

At that time, he was looking for a suitable leading actor for his second film, Memories of Murder.

But we encountered many difficulties.

Fortunately, Song Kanghao lent a helping hand at the critical moment and took on the role without hesitation.

It was thanks to Song Kang-ho's great help that the film finally achieved great success.

Bong Joon-ho won the Best Director award at the Grand Bell Awards for this film.

Song Kang-ho also won the Grand Bell Award for Best Actor for his superb acting skills.

This movie not only brought their careers to a new peak, but also laid a solid foundation for them as a golden combination.

Over the years, Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho have maintained a close cooperative relationship and have jointly created many excellent film works.

"Hey, look over there!"

Song Kanghao, who was sitting by the window, raised his eyebrows, pointed at one of the walking figures, and said:

"Is that Jin Qixuan?"

After hearing this, Bong Joon-ho immediately looked out the window, following the direction Song Kang-ho pointed.

His gaze passed through the busy street and fixed on a young man who had just walked across the street.

The man was tall and thin, wearing a baseball cap on his head and a mask on his face, making his features look a little blurry.

Although his face could not be seen clearly, his posture was exceptionally upright, his steps were steady and powerful, and he looked very elegant.

Feng Junhao looked at it for a while, smiled and nodded, and said:

"It should be. Just look at that pair of white Gucci shoes and you'll know it's him."

"Hahaha……"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, the young man in the hat was seen walking into the restaurant and was about to go upstairs.

Song Kanghao suddenly laughed:
"Hey, I'll entertain the kid for a while."

Feng Junhao was stunned when he heard this and said:
"How to tease?"

Song Kanghao smiled slightly and was about to speak when he heard a knock on the door.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

"Please come in!"

With a slight "creak" sound, the door of the private room was slowly opened, and a tall figure walked in from outside.

——The person who came was Jin Qixuan.

After entering the door, Jin Qixuan took off the baseball cap on his head and the mask on his face, revealing his original handsome face.

He looked around, his eyes finally fixed on the two people in the room.

One of the fat guys had curly hair, which made him look unique. He wore glasses, which made him look very literary, but also revealed an indescribable wildness.

This person is the screenwriter and director of the script - Bong Joon-ho.

The other person sitting opposite him had a seemingly ordinary round face without too many decorations or edges, but that made him look more simple and friendly.

This person is none other than Song Kanghao, the current number one figure in the Peninsula film industry.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan took the lead in bowing and greeting.

"Director Feng nim, Senior Song nim."

Feng Junhao came up to him with a smile, patted Jin Qixuan's shoulder enthusiastically, and introduced him:

"Qixuan, let me introduce you. This is Song Kanghao, my best friend and my good brother. In the movie, he will play your father. You will have many wonderful scenes together in the future."

Jin Qixuan turned to look at Song Kanghao, feeling both excited and expectant.

In fact, he had met Song Kanghao at the Blue Dragon Awards before, but they didn't have much opportunity to communicate at that time.

At this moment, he was about to ask for your continued care in the future, but he didn't expect that senior Song Kanghao spoke first.

"Since we are all gathered together today and our phones can connect to the Internet again, let's celebrate the resurrection of the Internet together!"

After saying that, Song Kanghao smiled and raised his arm as if inviting a toast.

Jin Qixuan was stunned and confused.

Just as Jin Qixuan was stunned, Song Kanghao's smile suddenly disappeared, replaced by a frowning and cursing voice:
"Damn, this guy is here again."

At this moment, Director Bong Joon-ho also said:
"I told you a long time ago to put up a notice prohibiting urinating and defecating in public, why didn't you do it?"

"It's useless, it's useless. A drunk like this will make him want to pee even more after seeing that kind of notice."

Song Kanghao shrank his neck, waved his hands timidly and sighed.

The two of them sang together, and Jin Qixuan understood instantly.

This is a line from the script of Parasite.

This scene is the turning point in the fate of Ki-woo's family.

Coincidentally.

On the way here, he happened to be reading this script.

So I am not unfamiliar with the lines.

Song Kanghao took the lead.

Jin Qixuan's face changed, he hunched his body slightly, there was a hint of sadness between his brows, and his eyes revealed a desire for a better life.

Afterwards, he sat cross-legged on the chair, picked up the disposable tableware from the table, held it in front of him and looked at it carefully.

"Dad, this is a landscape bonsai, right?"

Song Kanghao was very happy to see him cooperate so well. He took the cutlery with both hands and said with emotion:

"Yes, it can also be regarded as an abstract stone sculpture. It is said that this stone can bring wealth and luck in exams."

Upon hearing this, Jin Qixuan's eyes lit up, as if he had seen some priceless treasure, and he said with emotion:
"Wow, so this stone is very meaningful. It should bless me to pass the college entrance examination for the fifth time."

After saying that, Jin Qixuan even bowed to the tableware.

Seeing that the two were already acting against each other, Bong Joon-ho stopped talking and sat quietly aside, concentrating on enjoying their performance.

As time went by, Kim Ki-hyeon and Song Kang-ho gradually got into their roles, interacting with each other and interpreting the dialogues in the script vividly.

Soon, as the last line was finished, Song Kanghao took the initiative to applaud Jin Qixuan.

On the other hand, Feng Junhao also praised generously:

"You've memorized your lines so well already. I heard you're still filming. That's amazing."

"It's mainly because Director Bong's script is so brilliant that I can't fall asleep without reading it twice every night."

"Hahaha……"

Feng Junhao laughed when he heard this, patted Jin Qixuan on the shoulder and said:

"The mouth is quite sweet."

Jin Qixuan smiled and shook his head, saying:

"No, it has always been my dream to work with Director Feng and Senior Song."

"Okay, okay, we are all looking forward to working with you."

After just a few words, the atmosphere became extremely harmonious.

Then, Jin Qixuan took out the script from his bag and asked seriously:
"Director Bong, I have a few questions for you. Do you have any more specific settings or suggestions for the character of Ki-woo?"

"Yes, of course. I called you here today to talk about this."

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan took out a pen and notebook, ready to write it down.

Seeing this, Feng Junhao waved his hand and said:
"No need to be so formal, let's eat and talk at the same time."

As he spoke, he called the waiter to serve the dishes. Soon, one delicious dish after another was served on the table.

The three of them discussed the script and roles while eating.

Bong Joon-ho gave detailed answers to the questions raised by Kim Ki-hyun.

Song Kanghao also interjected from time to time to share his own insights.

The whole private room was filled with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

As the discussion deepened, the character of Ki-woo gradually became more complete in Jin Qixuan's mind.

Before we knew it, the dinner had lasted nearly three hours.

Just when they were about to part, Jin Qixuan suddenly remembered Bae Suzy.

After hesitating for a while, Jin Qixuan couldn't find a suitable point to introduce the topic.

In fact, he is not very familiar with Bae Suzy.

So, I don’t take this matter that seriously.

The most important thing is that he was too embarrassed to speak up.

If this was directed by Shin Won-ho or written by Kim Eun-sook, Kim Ki-hyeon would have the nerve to recommend it.

I think I can give him some face.

After all, they had worked together before, and he would visit her to give her gifts during festivals, so their relationship had always been good.

Bong Joon-ho is different, this is his first collaboration.

If he spoke rashly, Jin Qixuan was afraid of causing Bong Joon-ho's disgust.

After all, he is also interested in making a date now.

If he doesn't handle it right, his role may be lost.

So Jin Qixuan didn't say anything.

After parting with the two bosses at the hotel, Jin Qixuan sat in the nanny car and created a new document with his laptop.

The meal was not in vain.

Kim Ki-hyun has successfully grasped the core of the character Kim Ki-woo.

Then he began to write a biography of Kim Ki-woo on the computer.

It will be convenient for me to quickly integrate my mentality into the role when I join a group in the future.

As the sound of computer keyboards continued, Kim Ki-hyeon's thoughts gradually immersed in the character of Kim Ki-woo.

He uses "I" as the first person to describe Kim Ki-woo's growth experience, personality traits, and psychological changes.

After an unknown amount of time, the nanny car slowly stopped.

Jin Qixuan looked up and found that he had returned to the set of "The Devil".

Looking at the first draft of the character biography completed on the computer, Jin Qixuan stretched, rubbed his eyes, and prepared to get off the car to start the next filming.

There are many night scenes in the movie "The Evil Dead".

And Jin Qixuan came back at just the right time.

This scene is Jin Qixuan's first long-taken "fighting scene" in a long time.

However, I don't need to practice the movement route this time.

Just take responsibility for being beaten...

After they finished putting on their makeup, director Li Yuantai came to the sidelines and explained the play to them.

"This scene is not difficult, but it is the climax of the film."

"Zhang Dongxiu finally caught Jiang Jinghao after much effort. He definitely can't let him fall asleep with just one punch."

"So this scene has to be powerful enough, with real fighting. Do you have any problem with it?"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Dongxi grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and looked at the miserable Jin Qixuan beside him and asked:
"How about it, Qixuan, can you do it?"

As he spoke, he raised his palm, which was as broad as a palm leaf fan, and added:

"This slap I gave you doesn't feel soft like Han Hyo Joo's, it definitely hurts!"

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan glanced at his palm and felt his face starting to hurt.

Even though I was scared, as a man, I couldn't say no.

"Uncle Ma, you can rest assured, I will be able to handle it."

"it is good!"

After the three of them had discussed it, they simulated how to fight.

Then, everyone returned to their positions and prepared to start filming.

As the sound of hitting the board rang out crisply.

Ma Dong-seok dragged Kim Kye-hyun, who was tied tightly to a chair, and slowly walked into the camera from the shadows.

At this time, the camera switched flexibly from the side camera position to the back camera position.

It hit Jin Qixuan right in the face as he was being dragged away.

His face was covered in blood and one of his eyes was so swollen that he couldn't open it, but there was a provocative and arrogant smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Hahaha, what's the difference between you and me?"

Jin Qixuan's voice was hoarse and wild, echoing in the empty filming site.

Upon hearing this, Ma Dongxi swung out his sandbag-sized fist and hit Jin Qixuan's face hard.

With a dull thud, Jin Qixuan was knocked heavily to the ground, his body limply collapsing on the ground.

"Shit, can't you tell the difference by looking at their physiques?"

Ma Dongxi roared, pulled Jin Qixuan up from the ground, grabbed his hair with one hand, and slapped him in the face twice in a row.

Around the set.

Everyone understood that this was a method of hitting with the hollow palm, and it didn't hurt at all.

Jiang Jinghao, played by Kim Qixuan, was "beaten all over the place" just to cooperate with Ma Dongseok.

However, even so, it still hurts to watch.

Because Jin Qixuan's cooperation was so perfect.

"Snapped!"

I don't know when, another crisp sound was heard.

However, at this moment, several people in the field were stunned at the same time.

It turned out that it was according to the script and the director's instructions.

Ma Dongseok's slap should have landed on the back of Kim Ki-hyeon's head, creating a playful but non-hurtful effect.

But because of the slap he gave in the previous action, Jin Qixuan's head was somewhat crooked.

As a result, this time the slap actually landed directly on Jin Qixuan's face.

This was not part of the original plan.

After a brief moment of shock, Jin Qixuan quickly adjusted his state, adhering to the principle of not taking a beating in vain, his expression became serious, and he shouted loudly:

"kill me."

His chest rose and fell violently, and he seemed extremely excited. He roared again:
"Come on, I told you to kill me!"

As he spoke, a clear red handprint appeared on the left side of his cheek where he had just been hit.

In fact, the force of Ma Dongxi's slap just now was not particularly strong.

But thanks to Lee Ji-eun's treatment, Kim Ki-hyun's skin color became unusually white.

Therefore, the slap mark appears particularly eye-catching when captured by the high-definition camera.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Dongxiu in the play even wanted to give him two more big cunts.

But outside the play, Ma Dong-seok felt very distressed and was unable to bring himself to do it.

However, he had to continue acting until the director called cut.

Then, Ma Dong-seok walked aside, lit a cigarette, and rummaged through the props.

Finally, I chose a heavy machete and weighed it in my hand, feeling its weight and power.

Then, Ma Dongxi walked up to him, grabbed Jin Qixuan's hair, pulled him close to him, put the knife on his neck, and said in a cold tone:
"What's wrong with you, you coward? You killed so many people and you still want to live?"

However, in the face of such intimidation, Jin Qixuan did not show any fear.

On the contrary, he raised a fearless smile, no longer afraid of life or death, and responded provocatively:
"So, I let someone yell at me to kill me, hahahaha..."

"Cut!"

At this time, Li Yuantai stopped the performance through the loudspeaker and hurriedly called out:
"Hurry, hurry, go and take a look at Qixuan's face!!!"

Hearing the sound, the medical staff who had been waiting on the sidelines ran over and checked the slap mark on Jin Qixuan's face.

Ma Dongxi immediately returned to his usual gentle self, rubbing his hands, and said to Jin Qixuan a little embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry...does it hurt?"

Hearing Ma Dongxi's question, Jin Qixuan smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said:
"It really doesn't hurt. It's a real fight when shooting an action scene. Don't take it to heart, Uncle Ma."

In fact, Jin Qixuan was a little dazed after being slapped in the face and almost couldn't continue the role.

It definitely hurts, but it's bearable.

After all, Ma Dong-seok didn't kill him.

But if he didn't get the role and got slapped again, he would find it hard to bear.

On the other side, director Li Yuantai helplessly held his forehead and turned his gaze to the playback camera.

He originally thought that the scene just now needed to be re-shot. After all, Kim Ki-hyun was a little dazed after being beaten by Ma Dong-seok, which might affect the overall performance effect.

However, as the scene unfolded, Li Yuantai found that this unexpected performance was surprisingly real and smooth.

Jin Qixuan's moment of stunned silence and subsequent reaction perfectly matched the character's psychological state, making the entire scene more vivid and powerful.

Li Yuantai carefully checked the videos recorded by all cameras.

After confirming that everything was correct, he smiled and said to the actors and staff present:
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. The performance just now was great. Let's take a ten-minute break and then we'll shoot the next scene."
