After solving Xu Xian's thoughts, and having a good dinner with his family, early the next morning, Xu Zhixuan got into the nanny car driven by Cui Haoyun and drove towards the crew.
"Lin Yunzhen, where is the girl? Why haven't you seen her lately? β
Cui Haoyun drove the car and replied without looking back: "This girl is very smart, she knows what she should do, since you entered the crew, she ran to the company, applied to follow some old qualified assistants, and learned how to be a real assistant!" β
"Didn't she come to learn how to be an agent from you? How did you run to learn that? Xu Zhixuan frowned slightly, and looked at Cui Haoyun with a little doubt, after all, he said at the beginning, the company sent Lin Yunzhen over in the hope that Cui Haoyun would bring out an agent with the old and the new.
Cui Haoyun didn't see Xu Zhixuan's frowning expression, and still replied unhurriedly: "Brother, if you want to be an agent, you must first learn how to be a qualified assistant, it can be said that the predecessor of the agent is an assistant." β
"Then I can also learn from you, why go to others to suffer!" Xu Zhixuan still couldn't figure it out, couldn't he learn it if he followed him, but ran to other artists, and the ghost knew if Lu Dao would be abused, not everyone was so good-tempered with Xu Zhixuan.
Cui Haoyun saw Xu Zhixuan's confused expression from the inverted mirror with a wry smile, so he had to answer with a bitter face: "Brother, all this is still your reason!" Xu Zhixuan looked puzzled, why did it come to me again, and pointed to himself: "My reason?" β
Cui Haoyun nodded and said: "Yes, brother, your personality has caused you to treat us equally, to put it bluntly, you are informal, and you have done some things that should have been done by the assistant, how can you learn to be an assistant by calling Yunzhen?" β
Hearing Cui Haoyun's explanation, Xu Zhixuan immediately shook his head bitterly and sighed: "I didn't expect that my character was the culprit!" β
"Brother, in fact, don't think about it so much, just your character, those agents or assistants know that they are still eager to cooperate with you, you must know that some artists themselves are under a lot of pressure, and they often vent their frustration to the people around them, and the agent is okay, even if the big-name stars will take into account the impression in the company, the assistants, makeup artists and others who follow them will be tragic, and the whole has become the venting tube of those artists, and there is still suffering that cannot be said."
It may be that Cui Haoyun has also experienced such a thing, so when he said these words, a trace of bitterness was obvious at the corner of his mouth, which made Xu Zhixuan realize that the current entertainment industry has changed greatly compared to his own time, and the life and death of artists in the past are in the hands of agents, and some assistants are spies arranged by the company to be around artists, monitoring whether artists are in love, violating company regulations, etc.
And the Korean entertainment industry in the 90s was not much better than Hong Kong, and it was also gangsters, many entertainment companies were black in nature, laundering money for those gangsters, and YG was able to survive during that period, I have to say that Yang Hyun-seok was lucky to recruit Xu Zhixuan, a death-like figure in the eyes of the Seoul gangsters, for fear that his gang would be eliminated because of Xu Zhixuan's targeting.
For example, in the news of 07, Korean artist Kwon Sang-woo was exposed by the intimidation of the gangsters who infiltrated the Korean entertainment industry. South Korea's Seoul Central Procuratorate indicted Kwon Sang-woo's agent Baek, the former brokerage company representative Han, and Kim Tae-mura, the leader of the violent organization, who allegedly became Kwon Sang-woo's agent through intimidation, Han had blackmailed Kwon Sang-woo, and Kim Tae-mura threatened Kwon Sang-woo to perform in Japan. A South Korean court will make its final verdict on the matter today.
It can be said that since that incident, the status of the agent has dropped a lot, not to mention the assistants and others who were originally sent by the company as monitors, so they have been suppressed for a long time, and some artists have gained momentum, and they will double down on these agents who were once arrogant and wantonly bullied themselves.
"Doesn't the company take care of it?"
Cui Haoyun sneered: "Tube? How to do it, it was ordered by the company to do it at the beginning, but the news of Kwon Sang-woo back then made the status of the agent take a sharp turn, and the company had to push us out of the black pot in order to appease those stars! β
Xu Zhixuan also sighed when he heard this, he couldn't help with this matter, this is already a phenomenon in the current entertainment industry, just like when he established an anti-pressure club, the juniors were bullied by their predecessors and humiliated for too long, and once they gained power, they doubled down and began to fight back, if it weren't for the anti-pressure club at that time, it was just a club composed of several schools, and Xu Zhixuan was suppressing it on the side, otherwise the consequences could be imagined.
With a dull mood, Xu Zhixuan arrived at the crew, and seeing that everyone in the crew was busy moving out, Xu Zhixuan grabbed a crew employee and asked, "What's wrong?" Is the crew ready to move places? β
"Yes, because the director said that there may be heavy rain in the next few days, so move to the next venue!" The crew was originally very unhappy when they saw someone holding them, but after turning their heads and seeing that it was Xu Zhixuan, their attitude immediately changed.
"Oh, that's a bother, you're busy!" Xu Zhixuan nodded, apologized to the employee, and left.
A person next to him, who is also an employee of the crew, was carrying a large object to the employee who was pulled by Xu Zhixuan before, and saw that Xu Zhixuan was so polite to people like him who were doing chores in the crew, and said with emotion: "Seriously, I have never seen an artist like Xu Zhixuan, who treats us miscellaneous people equally!" β
"Yes, those little artists who think they are a little famous, which one is not arrogant to us, casually directs us, and sometimes upsets and speaks badly!" The employees who were pulled by Xu Zhixuan also sighed.
Xu Zhixuan didn't know what to say, his unintentional move helped him in the future, of course, this is a later story, let's turn back to Xu Zhixuan's sight, when Xu Zhixuan knocked on the door of the lounge, after hearing "please come in", he stepped in, only to see the director, assistant director, and the main actors of the crew were in the lounge, and after seeing Xu Zhixuan come in, Li Zhenfan breathed a sigh of relief, to know that he was really afraid that Xu Zhixuan would not have enough time to deal with private matters in three days, and he also knew about Quan Zhilong.
"Zhixuan, are you here? Things settled? β
Xu Zhixuan nodded, sat down, and took the disposable cup in Jin Saeron's hand, which had already been poured into it, and drinking a cup of hot boiled water on a cold day could relax his body.
"Well, it's solved, what? Is the crew ready to move places? Are all the shots here? β
Li Zhenfan nodded, first asked the assistant director to go out to preside over the relocation outside, and then replied: "Yes, it was just filmed yesterday, and the rest just need to take a shot of your haircut in the room, since you are here, let's start!" β
"Okay, let's go!"
Xu Zhixuan didn't refuse, originally Li Zhenfan pushed some shots to the back for Xu Zhixuan's leave, and now that he is going to move to the next venue, Xu Zhixuan is not ready to let the crew toss for himself.
Walking into the building next to him, in a pawnshop-like room, Xu Zhixuan was shirtless, and his eight muscles and wheat-colored skin made the women in the crew scream like, or Li Zhenfan scolded him on the side, it is estimated that he would receive complaints from other homeowners in the building, and the makeup artist next to him took the blade and instructed: "Just cut off the hair on both sides, and we will trim the other parts for you." β
"Zhixuan, let's try to pass it once this time, otherwise we have to rely on wigs, the effect is not good!" Li Zhenfan also admonished beside him.
"Well, I know it!"
Seeing that Xu Zhixuan understood, Li Zhenfan said to the makeup artist: "Hurry up and put bloody gauze on him." β
After everything was ready, after Li Zhenfan said "Action", Xu Zhixuan instantly entered the state, in fact, this scene is very simple, there is no superfluous expression, as long as the temperament of the agent is shown again, and it is precisely Xu Zhixuan's strength, who called him a special soldier, this iron-blooded temperament is enough.
Xu Zhixuan looked at himself in the mirror, holding a small blade, cutting off the long hair on his sideburns one by one, and he was very decisive without the slightest hesitation, which made Li Zhenfan very satisfied behind the camera, what he wanted was this momentum.
"Cards! Very good, makeup artist, go up and help, start the next shot! Zhixuan, keep this mood up, don't let him dissipate! Li Zhenfan looked at the camera, and hurriedly ordered the makeup artist to clean up his hair, and told Xu Zhixuan by the way.
βActionοΌβ
Xu Zhixuan picked up the haircut clipper, grabbed the long hair, pushed it down, and his eyes in the mirror became colder and colder, as if Xu Zhixuan could see that the person who took the millet was in the mirror, and the smile on his face when he left was vivid.
In this shot, Xu Zhixuan performed very well, what Li Zhenfan wanted was this kind of ruthless eyes, and shouted excitedly: "Card, very good, the makeup artist continues to clean up his hair, Xu Zhixuan keeps it." β
The hair after the most slump has changed greatly in the hands of the barber, and the uneven length of the hair that was originally cut by Xu Zhixuan has cleaned up a handsome hairstyle with short hair, which has changed the original melancholy appearance of the long method.
βActionβ
Xu Zhixuan pretended to push a few times on both sides of his hair, in fact, the hairstyle here has been done by the barber, and he grabbed the hair on his hair with his hands, and seemed to sigh helplessly, put on the black suit that the crew had prepared for a long time, picked up the pistol on the table, and checked it, this is Xu Zhixuan's hand, he disassembled all the guns, and then assembled them again.
Let Li Zhenfan's hand behind the camera clench into a fist excitedly, it is really Xu Zhixuan's extra scene, which is much better than the inspection action in the original script, so that disassembling the pistol can more directly show an agent's familiarity with the pistol.
Suddenly, the mobile phone in the pocket of his clothes vibrate, Xu Zhixuan took it out, saw the caller number, frowned slightly, connected it, and put it in his ear, this call was actually from Li Zhenfan, and he said the lines.
Xu Zhixuan was still expressionless, he didn't seem surprised by this call, and he didn't say anything about the policeman who claimed to catch him, when he mentioned Xiaomi, Xu Zhixuan's eyes fluctuated slightly, and when he heard that Xiaomi was still alive, Xu Zhixuan raised his head slightly and took a deep breath, reflecting that Xu Zhixuan's heart was not calm at the moment.
After hearing the news about Xiaomi from the police, he didn't mind the questioning tone of the other party when he talked to him, and replied flatly: "It's Wanshi and Zongshi!" The ones who sent things to Wu Mingkui, and they were the ones who killed Song Xuanwu, so I know this. Then he didn't wait for a reply, and just hung up.
"Ka, it's good, Zhixuan, your performance is great, especially the shot of the gun being disassembled into parts, okay, call it a day! This shot has been repeated, let's quickly clean it up and go to the next venue! β
Xu Zhixuan ignored Li Zhenfan's words, just closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, allowing himself to withdraw from the role of Cha Tae-sik, no way, he is an experiential actor, so the people next to him didn't bother him.
