Chapter 144: Premiere (1)
Feng Zixi simply didn't have time for the Chinese New Year, even on Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire film crew had to shoot. Kim Tae-hee came to Toronto the day before, but fortunately, Quebec is not too far from the filming location in Toronto, and it is only a few hours away by train. This is Kim Tae-hee who went to meet Feng Zixi after learning that Feng Zixi could not rush back for the New Year and compensated his grandfather and grandmother.
This time, Kim Tae-hee is no longer alone, followed by several Feng family's bodyguards. The granddaughter-in-law who has been recognized by several old men, no one dares to ignore it. Several security personnel who have followed his grandfather for many years were dispatched to Kim Tae-hee's side as bodyguards, specifically responsible for Kim Tae-hee's escort work during his stay in Canada.
In fact, even if Kim Tae-hee goes to Toronto, he will not spend too long with Feng Zixi, because the filming in Canada is almost finished, and then the film crew will return to the United States to shoot the last part of the filming, including the part of the helicopter crash. However, before that, Feng Zixi will return to South Korea again to complete the filming of the ending of "Bali's Story", and by the way, attend the premiere ceremony of "Tai Chi Flag Flying".
Feng Zixi also asked Kim Tae-hee whether to accompany him back to South Korea or stay in Canada temporarily, because it can be seen that several old men like Kim Tae-hee, a caring and sensible granddaughter-in-law, and Kim Tae-hee also has experience in taking care of several old people, so Feng Zixi wants her to continue to stay in Canada, and wait until the filming of the whole [Resident Evil Apocalypse] is completed, and then go back to South Korea with him.
As the largest production of the year, whether it is a large investment of more than 10 billion yuan or a star-studded big-name actor, it has attracted the attention of the entire South Korea early. Although Feng Zixi only played a small supporting role in it, this time Zhang Dongjian called, hoping that he could find time to attend the premiere in Seoul, and Feng Zixi of course had to arrange it well.
Feng Zixi, who returned to South Korea alone, was very low-key, and no one informed him, and only Na so-chul and Kwon Ji-hoon came back, and even Bosch stayed with Kim Tae-hee in Canada.
"Zixi! Do you know the truth? Now KBS and MBC's TV drama production bureau are constantly contacting me and sending me several scripts, I hope you can think about it after filming and playing [Resident Evil Apocalypse]. As soon as he got into the nanny car, Luo Xiuzhe couldn't hide his excitement.
"I have no plans to shoot a TV series for the time being." Feng Zixi took a sip of a bottle of water, calculated his time and said: "[Resident Evil Apocalypse] is expected to be completed before April, and this time I will come back and complete the filming of the ending part of [Bali's Story], so the time will be busy until at least April." ”
"Do you want to take a break? Last year, you were busy for a whole year, and you didn't take a break, especially in the second half of the year, three TV series in a row, and a Hollywood movie. Take this opportunity to take a good rest. Luo Xiuzhe recalled Feng Zixi's workload last year, and really admired his good physical strength.
Kwon Ji-hoon also persuaded: "Yes! I've been busy for most of the year, so it's time to take this opportunity to take a good rest. April is the 40th Baeksang Art Awards, and you're sure to get nominated, and even get an award like the Daejong Awards. I don't think it's better to wait for the Baeksang Art Awards and take the opportunity to rest for a month or two to recharge. ”
"Huh! Where are there agents and assistants like you, and the agents of other actors are afraid that they won't have enough work, so they are constantly busy looking for activities and scripts for their artists. You're good enough to persuade me to rest? Feng Zixi's heart was still very moved, Luo Xiuzhe and Quan Zhixun were both thinking about him, and they would rather make less money than Feng Zixi work too hard. …,
"The three TV series you took over, as well as the shooting of commercials and which posters, have already earned more than we did in the previous year. The combination of work and rest is the right one, so you should take a break, even if you don't want to relax completely, I can find a few variety shows for you to participate in on the TV station. You may not know that your phone interview with "Night Heart" set a ratings record since the launch of "Night Heart". That's why 'Night Heart' and 'X-MAN' want you to be a guest on the show. These shows are more relaxed, allowing you to keep your audience's attention and not getting too nervous. Interested? ”
"Now that time comes, I need to spend time sorting out the materials for my graduation thesis, whether I have time to prepare for the graduation exam at Seoul National University. I still need to prepare for the international economics graduate exam, and I guess I will be busy for a while. "Since Kim Tae-hee graduated, Feng Zi-hee has plans to graduate. The graduation exam and thesis of Seoul National University's Department of Drama and Film are not enough for him, and what Feng Zixi needs to worry about is preparing to apply for graduate school in international economics. Because this is prepared to deal with his mother's criticism, if he can't pass the exam, I'm afraid he will really have to say "goodbye" to South Korea.
"You still have to go to graduate school? What is international economics, not cinema? It was the first time that Luo Xiuzhe had heard from Feng Zixi about the Seoul National University exam.
"Actually, I don't have much time to go to school now, but last year I didn't have much time to go to school, and many people have started to question my student status, so I thought it would be better to graduate. However, I have some personal reasons to stay in school and prepare for the international economics graduate exam, and as long as I succeed in the entrance examination, then I can stay at Seoul National University for a few years. This is Feng Zixi's purpose, if there is no excuse, when her mother comes, Feng Zixi will have to leave under the pressure of her mother. If you study economics on your own, you will be able to find an excuse to push back and stay in Korea.
"In that case, I will temporarily suspend all your work from April to June, and you can just concentrate on studying and exams." Luo Xiuzhe didn't ask too many questions, he had already opened his notebook and planned the schedule of work.
As the Korean War movie with the largest investment, it is still a major war scene that tells the June 25 Incident (the Motherland Liberation War, the Korean War, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea or the June 25 War, which are called differently in different countries), which usually attracts the attention of the audience. This time not only has a huge investment, but the two big brothers, Zhang Dongjian and Yuan Bin, participated in the filming, and Jiang Digui directed the filming.
On the day of the premiere, there were countless guests who came to cheer, and it was a grand ceremony comparable to a movie awards. Director and producer Kang Di-gyu invited film professional newspapers such as "Variety" and "Screen" from the United States, as well as major distribution companies such as Sony and Miramax to participate in the premiere ceremony. In addition, many Japanese and Chinese guests were invited to participate, and Japanese actor Hiroshi Nakamura and director Katsuyuki Honhiro also attended the premiere, which was the first time in the Korean film and television industry, and was called by the Korean media as the place where Korean films are oriented to the world. Female show.
After Feng Zixi came back, he only had time to take a shower and change his clothes, and he received a call from Quan Zhixun that the premiere was about to start, and Zhang Dongjian was ready early and wanted to attend with him.
Hurriedly ran out, saw Zhang Dongjian in a dress, handsome standing next to a luxury car, kept looking at the watch in his hand, but there was a small pile of cigarette butts on the ground, it seemed that he had really been waiting for a while. …,
"Brother! Have you been here for a long time? ”
"You kid came out dressed like this? Have you forgotten that today is for the premiere, not for shopping? Zhang Dongjian saw Feng Zixi coming out, and rolled his eyes angrily. Feng Zixi only wore a blue casual suit, a black tie, and a certain black top hat, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like she is going to an important event or celebration.
"I just know that I went to the premiere, if I was too handsome, wouldn't I steal the footage of Brother and Brother Yuanbin? So I decided to dress lightly, anyway, I'm just a little supporting character, and not many people will care about me. In fact, Feng Zixi didn't have much thought to choose clothes, and when he used to go to any events or celebrations, most of the time it was Kim Tae-hee, the wife who studied fashion design, who matched Feng Zixi with good clothes, but unfortunately now that Kim Tae-hee is still in Canada, Feng Zixi picked up a few clothes very casually and made do with them.
"Alas! You kid is getting more and more eye-catching, and you dare to say that you stole our lens? Zhang Dongjian slapped Feng Zixi's head with one hand, "Forget it, I don't have much time to change your clothes now, you can do it yourself." ”
This premiere was held in 403 theaters in South Korea, and although the premiere ceremony was held in Seoul, there will also be promotional activities in other regions and cities. As the main venue, Apguting Cinema City, since the afternoon, there have been countless citizens who know the news, rushing here to see how many stars are coming.
The Nonhyeon neighborhood where Feng Zixi's home is located is only a ten-minute drive from the movie city, but when they arrived at the movie city, the traffic outside had blocked the entire street. Zhang Dongjian saw that the situation was a little wrong, and said, "I'll go and see first, you just sit in the car, and I'll contact you if there's anything." asked the agent to take a hat and sunglasses, Zhang Dongjian didn't care so much, pushed the car door and ran to the movie city.
Feng Zixi looked out worriedly, only to see many citizens and fans holding posters and electronic cards of support, surrounding the movie city, waving their arms to the stars who had just arrived, and shouting loudly.
Zhang Dongjian's agent soon received a call, it turned out that there was a traffic accident in front of him, and there were too many citizens who came, so all the receptions in front of the movie city were blocked, and he must get out of the car and walk, otherwise it would be difficult to go to the movie city, and many stars would be chased by many citizens and fans because of this.
It's only about three or four hundred meters away from the movie city, but there are countless fans and reporters around, and if you are recognized, you don't know if you can enter the theater completely. But now there is no way, Zhang Dongjian said that the traffic cannot be dredged for the time being, and the only way is to run over, and the car can't get in at all.
Seeing that no one around paid attention to his somewhat abrupt car, Feng Zixi pulled the door and ran out. In fact, if Feng Zixi didn't run and walked over slowly, it might not be so easy to attract attention. But as soon as he ran like this, the reporters who were all around him were the first to notice this fast figure. As long as you identify it carefully, you can immediately recognize it as Zixi, because there is no disguise on his face at all.
"Look, everyone, it's Zixi, that's Zixi, he's back." A reporter with a camera pointed to Feng Zixi, who ran in front of him, and shouted loudly.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and other reporters pointed their cameras and cameras at the figure, and they all caught up.
"Look, that's Zixi, that's Zixi." More and more people found Feng Zixi's figure, and they all left behind the artists and stars they were originally chasing to block Feng Zixi, so that the actors who got out proudly breathed a sigh of relief, but also had to complain about how Zixi ran out to grab the camera at this time, isn't this a troublemaker?
