Chapter 400: A Attentive Mother-in-law
Kim Do-jun picked up his phone and looked at it, it turned out to be a call from Director Takashi Miike, and he hadn't been in touch for a long time, and he was wondering why he was calling, so he nodded slightly apologetically, covered the phone and walked to the balcony.
"Hello Director Miike!"
Kim Do-jun greeted with a slight smile, but he was thinking about what was going on.
Generally speaking, if there is an event or announcement in Japan, it is Anango who contacts him, but Director Takashi Miike called in person today, which is definitely not an ordinary thing.
"Daojun! How has it been recently, the Spring Festival is coming, I wish you a happy Spring Festival in advance! β
Director Miike's hearty laughter came from the phone, and Kim Dojun also laughed faintly after hearing it. He replied.
"Thank you, Director Miike, and so are you, good luck for the Spring Festival!"
Director Miike was still on the set at this time, so he specially took the time to call Kim Do-jun, and now there is a big opportunity in front of him, just see if he can seize it.
"By the way, Daojun, are you free for these two days? Coming to Japan, I have a friend from the UK who I would like to introduce to you? β
Director Takashi Miike once said.
"No matter how many movies I make, it's hard for me to feel satisfied, I rarely think about what I'm after, whether I'm happy or not, I'm always tired, just like a long-distance race, for the final sprint of achievement!"
In his eyes, the director is the fate of his life, and in order to make a better movie, he has given up a lot of things, family, feelings, love, and life, just to realize his ideals.
Unfortunately, the profession of directing comes with more than just physical fatigue. It's more that it takes a long time to wait for the so-called sense of accomplishment.
Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Picture, and more. There will always be only one.
If you want to be recognized by the public, judges, and audiences. This is not a simple matter, and this is the truth that is difficult to reconcile.
Now he spends more time discovering and nurturing new talents, and only in this way can new film talents emerge and flourish in Japan, Asia, and the world.
"Friends? From the UK? β
Kim Do-jun asked suspiciously, how could it be so sudden?
I thought about it a little in my mind, what happened in the past two days, except for the promise to Director Zhang Zhen to shoot a short film. It doesn't seem to matter much at the moment.
After thinking for a while, he spoke.
"Director, I'll go back and ask my agent about the two-day arrangement, can you tell me the specific time? I'm good to book a plane ticket! β
"Okay, at 5 pm the day after tomorrow, I'll wait for you at the company, if you book your ticket, give Anan a call, and I'll ask him to pick you up at the airport!"
Director Takashi Miike responded with a smile, and he could see that he was in a good mood. The tone of his speech is full of affinity, which is completely different from him usually.
βokοΌ I'll get in touch with Anango in the evening! β
Kim Do-joon nodded. Immediately said.
The two of them chatted a little and hung up.
Kim Do-jun put his hands in his hair and rubbed them casually, now thinking about what to do, he looked down at his phone, it was not too early, and it was time to leave.
After tidying up her clothes and going back to Taeyeon's room, she and her grandmother have gone downstairs.
I opened my backpack, took out the red envelope that I had prepared from it, and prepared to go downstairs.
While going downstairs, he called Han Chenghao.
"Brother Cheng Hao, I'm over here, come and pick me up!"
At this time, Han Chenghao was lying on the table of the fast food restaurant, bored in a daze, squinting his eyes, and spending time here in the morning and lunch meals.
Even for lunch at noon, I ordered a quick snack at random to deal with things.
When I saw Kim Do-joon's phone number, I immediately picked it up.
"Okay! Coming soon! β
After saying that, he hurried outside.
Kim Do-jun came to the living room and found that there was no one on the sofa, and he was immediately a little puzzled.
"Where have all the people gone? Why is no one there! β
It wasn't until he heard the sound of laughter coming from the kitchen that Kim Do-joon realized that Taeyeon was busy in the kitchen with his mother and grandmother.
Don't think about it, it's definitely preparing dinner.
Kim Do-joon walked over, lowered his head, and spoke.
"Grandma, Auntie, it's not early, I have to go back, thank you for today's hospitality, I ate very well!"
Kim Do-joon's opening startled Taeyeon's mother, turned her head, glanced at Kim Do-joon, quickly rolled up her apron, wiped the water stains, and immediately asked.
"So early? After dinner, it's good to go, and I've already started to do it! β
Although Taeyeon's friend came as a guest, Kim Do-joon's impression was still quite good in Taeyeon's mother's heart.
If you want to talk about the shortcomings, it may not be so mature, and it looks a little boyish.
But it can't be helped, Kim Do-jun is only 20 years old.
A mature man, without the experience of time and life, without the experience of difficulties and setbacks, will always be a child who will not grow up.
Even if you have the protection of your parents, relatives and friends, you can't swim in the sky like an eagle after all.
Now for him, the road ahead is still very long, there is no hurry.
Taeyeon walked up to Kim Do-joon's side and asked softly.
"I'm leaving so soon, is there something wrong?"
Taeyeon looked at Kim Do-joon with a puzzled look on her face, feeling a little reluctant.
I just bullied myself and took away my first kiss, and now I'm about to leave, how can there be such a cheap thing.
On the one hand, I was entangled in my heart and was reluctant to let him go, hoping that he could stay for a while.
On the other hand, he is a little angry, so easy to leave, is this still Kim Taeyeon?
Kim Do-jun touched the back of his head and said with a slight smile.
"Hmmm! I have to go back, my father and mother are going back to my hometown in Gangwon Province tonight, I have to accompany them, after all, I have only met once in a long time, and I am not at home during the Spring Festival this year, so the three of them are left at home, they must be very lonely, so I have to have a reunion dinner with them in the evening. No way. Thank you Auntie for your hospitality. I'll be over in the future! β
After saying that, he bowed respectfully, said hello to Taeyeon and grandma, and prepared to leave.
"Daojun, wait a minute, since you go back, Auntie doesn't have any expensive gifts for you, there are some good soju and pear wine at home, and the bibimbap I made for you. Let's take it home with us! By the way, give your mom and dad and sister a try! β
After saying that, he immediately turned around and got busy.
Taeyeon's mother was also heard shouting loudly.
"Taeyeon, go and tell your dad and brother to get up and send off Do-joon!"
Both of them lay down in their respective beds and fell asleep, and after drinking so much wine at noon, the guests did not get drunk, but the host went to bed first.
Taeyeon nodded and spoke.
"Got it, I'll go now!"
After speaking, he glanced at Kim Do-jun resentfully. When he left, he also kicked Kim Do-jun in the ankle. as a sign of punishment.
These small movements were thought to be seen only by two people, but they were fully watched by Taeyeon's grandmother.
"Do two people really have something?"
Don't think that the old people are all confused, they have lived for so many years, and they have never seen any winds and waves.
Ginger will always be old and spicy, that's for sure, but the old man likes to pretend to be confused most of the time.
Kim Do-joon walked into the living room, waited for a while, and saw Taeyeon's mother busy going in and out, opening the refrigerator for a while, opening the cabinet for a while, and going to the storage room for a while, with a slight smile, he said.
"Auntie, don't be so troublesome, it's better to keep it simple!"
Taeyeon's mother shook her head, gave a hygienic eye, and muttered in her heart.
"This kid, whether he really doesn't understand or fake doesn't understand!"
Kim Do-joon was a guest at Taeyeon's house and brought so many valuable gifts, even if his son-in-law went to his father-in-law's mother-in-law's house, it was more than enough.
What's more, he is far above the level of ordinary people.
But for Taeyeon's mother, the return gift has become very sleepy, and it can be seen that Kim Do-joon's family is not short of money, so how can they express their hearts without losing face!
First of all, Jeonju's specialties are definitely indispensable, bibimbap and pear wine are the best gifts, and Taeyeon's father has collected some excellent soju, which is also an unexpected surprise.
The freshly finished bibimbap, side dishes, squid, cucumbers, and shredded kelp are all cut and placed in glass crispers.
Then spread a piece of cloth on the dining table, all one by one, from large to small, neatly placed, before tying the mouth, and after tying it tightly, I carefully checked it again, and found that there was no omission, so I handed it to Kim Dojun and instructed.
"When you get home, put it in the refrigerator immediately, and when you want to eat it, just take it out and heat it up and you can eat it!"
Carefully holding the bottom of the package, for fear that Kim Do-jun would accidentally fall to the ground.
At this moment, Taeyeon's father walked down, his eyes were erratic, he looked like he had just woken up, and there were pillow marks on his face, and when he saw Kim Do-joon leaving, he immediately asked.
"Do-joon is leaving so soon? Why don't you stay and have dinner together in the evening, and let's have a few more drinks? β
After a meal at noon, I was obviously much more familiar than when I first came, and I could even talk a little closer.
Kim Do-jun hurriedly shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Uncle, I have to eat with my parents at night, and I can't spend the Spring Festival at home this year, so I have a reunion dinner in advance, and it is estimated that a meal of wine is indispensable!"
After speaking, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, signaling that he couldn't continue, and if he continued to drink like this, his body would collapse.
Taeyeon's father nodded and didn't say anything, since he was going to have a reunion dinner with his parents, there was nothing he could do, after all, Taeyeon was also an artist, and he could understand that feeling.
To become an artist, many times it is involuntary.
Taeyeon's father said with a smile as he helped carry the soju
"Don't forget to come next time you come to Jeonju!"
Kim Do-jun smiled slightly and opened his mouth to respond.
"Don't worry! Uncle, I will definitely come! β
After saying that, he turned and left, and as soon as he opened the door and walked out, he heard a crisp call.
"Oppa, are you leaving?" (To be continued......)
