Chapter 799: Aggrieved

Zixi had a very aggrieved day, and after waking up in the morning, he hurried to work, but when he bought breakfast and coffee again, he found that the wallet he used to hold cash and credit cards was actually missing. This is troublesome, although there is a check book in the other wallet, but you can't always sign a check to buy a cup of coffee, right?

Zixi had to go back to the company hungry, and wanted to borrow some change from Cui Yanxi and Cui Meixi, but in the face of his two women, Zixi's words were swallowed back into his stomach, and he really couldn't open his mouth to borrow money from women, even if these two women had the closest relationship with him.

Zixi now regrets that he shouldn't have taken Bos and Kwon Ji-hoon on vacation. After Bose followed him to South Korea, whether it was Christmas or New Year's, whether it was Easter or Thanksgiving, he never asked for even a day off. During this time, Zixi will stay in South Korea, so taking this opportunity, Zixi gives Bos a vacation so that he can have a chance to go home and reunite with his family.

The relationship between Quan Zhixun and Song Rubin has grown by leaps and bounds, Zixi saw the sneaky appearance of the two of them following him every day, not to mention that they were uncomfortable, Zixi himself felt depressed after watching too much, so he simply took advantage of the fact that there was still half a month left to celebrate the Lunar New Year, let Quan Zhixun and Song Rubin take a vacation, and told them to come back after the New Year, anyway, they couldn't deal with the company's affairs.

Boss, Kwon Zhixun and Song Rubin, these assistants are temporarily away from Zixi's side, although there are still many bodyguards behind him, but these soldiers who have returned from the battlefield, it is no problem for them to kill, but they are far inferior to the above three people in handling things and providing assistance, which also makes Zixi experience the embarrassment of the lack of right-hand man around him.

Kwon Ji-hoon and Song Ru-bin went back to the countryside to visit relatives for the New Year, and Luo Xiuzhe was busy with the new album of Girls' Generation, and some things related to acting activities could only be found by Zixi himself. It's like today, not long after Zixi went to work, he received a call from director Kim Kyu-tae, and after saying something unconcilable and unnutritious, Kim Kyu-tae explained the true intention of his call.

It turns out that after the success of [IRIS], Zixi's popularity and value have been improved again, and many directors and writers hope to seize this good opportunity to cooperate with Zixi here. Because so far, Zixi has never starred in a TV series with a leading actor with ratings lower than 40 points, which is a temptation that is difficult to resist even for highly well-known writers and directors.

Ratings represent not only fame, but also money and status. A writer who can write a script with a rating of more than 40 points, and her script is the dream of all film and television companies. Some famous writers have a salary of millions per episode, and the most of them definitely reach eight figures, which is higher than the salary of many famous actors per episode. A director who can shoot ratings of more than 40 points is far more popular with TV stations than directors who have been in the industry for more than ten years, or even decades.

This time, director Kim Kyu-tae came to be a lobbyist, and a friend of his, who is also a director, found the famous writer Jiang Eunqing and won one of her new works. This writer Jiang Yinqing is a very famous female writer in South Korea, and she has been in the industry for more than ten years, and has written books including "Love Hotel", "Glass Slipper", "OH! Bisheng Bong Soon-young], [Dazi's Spring] and other excellent scripts that have become popular in the ratings, and have also won the "Good TV Drama Award" of the PD Association.

Director Kim Kyu-tae's friend is named Lee Jung-sub, and after hard persuasion, he won Kang Eun-kyung's new work, and he was originally full of ambition. Through discussions with writer Kang Eun-kyung, I am ready to invite Zi-hee to be the leading actor and Kim Tae-hee to play the heroine, so as to promote the couple's cooperation again, and hope to be able to win this year's ratings championship again.

It's a pity that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is skinny. How much is Zihee's salary? [IRIS] is more than 100 million won per episode, and according to Kang Eun-kyung's idea of the drama, it is completely a feature-length drama. If you shoot 30 episodes, you need to pay Zixi 3 billion won. This amount of salary, plus the potentially sky-high production costs, is not something that the film and television company or TV station is willing to bear.

Director Lee Jung-sub went to a number of film and television companies to knock on the door, and after reading the script and listening to the director's vivid plan, many film and television companies expressed their willingness to invest, but the premise is that Zixi and Kim Tae-hee are willing to serve as the male and female protagonists of the play, even if only Zixi is willing to be the male protagonist.

can invite Zixi to be the leading actor, and it is also Director Lee Jung-sub's own prayer, he has never even seen Zixie, let alone invited. Writer Jiang Yinqing also hopes that Zixi can be the leading actor of his work, and at the same time, he also knows that Zixi is not so easy to invite. Although writers have a privileged and authoritative say in their works within the Korean film and television industry, they can personally select all actors, including the male and female leads. However, Zixi is definitely an exception. As Hollywood's star in the world, writers and directors only want to have the opportunity to work with Zixi, and there is no need for Zixi to audition to meet the requirements of writers and directors.

After director Lee Jung-sub and writer Kang Eun-kyung discussed, the two called director Kim Kyu-tae, who has a good relationship with Zi-hee, hoping that he could help invite Zi-hee and talk to Zi-hee in person.

After receiving an invitation from director Kim Kyu-tae and learning the ins and outs of the matter from the phone, Zi-hee readily agreed, saying that she would go to the restaurant of KBS TV in the afternoon to meet with director Lee Jung-sub and writer Kang Eun-kyung.

To tell the truth, Zixi really would rather face the camera than wear a formal suit to commute to work on time every day, sit in the office and analyze the data that can never be seen, face the endless data documents reviewed, face countless business projects waiting for review and approval, and countless things that cannot be processed. It's torment, it's torture. It's a pity that he has already agreed and made a promise, so he will take everything as if it was difficult to get started, and slowly adapt to it.

Now that he heard the invitation for a new drama, even if he didn't see the script, even if he didn't know anything about director Lee Jung-sub and writer Kang Eun-kyung, Zi-hee was still willing to talk to them. This also gave Zixi a reason to push the matter to the Cui sisters, and she slipped away like a gust of wind.

Zixi took the opportunity to slip away, but he forgot that he was now penniless. When I came to the restaurant of KBS TV, watching the restaurant where people came and went, and smelling the aroma of the food, Zixi's stomach, which didn't even have breakfast, finally began to "coo" and make trouble. It's a pity that not to mention buying lunch, Zixi didn't even have change to buy a cup of coffee at the vending machine, so Zixi was dumbfounded and depressed.

Along the way, many KBS TV employees and artists have greeted Zixi, but these people Zixi doesn't know a few, even if they have seen it, they can't even call out their names, how can you casually let people lend you money? Of course, Zixi believed that even if he casually asked a staff member to borrow money, that person would not hesitate to lend him money. But he has never done such a thing, and it is really difficult for him to speak in the face of strangers.

How long does a glass of boiled water last? One minute or ten minutes? The time to meet with director Lee Jung-sub and writer Kang Eun-kyung is far from coming, and even Zixi himself doesn't know why he wants to sit in the restaurant in a daze.

The people in the restaurant mistakenly thought that Zixi was waiting for someone, and everyone greeted him when they saw it, but no one would sit over, which also made Zixi even more lonely and bored.

"Zixi OPPA!" While Zixi was still in a daze, a delicate figure walked over and shouted in surprise.

Zi-hee turned her head and saw that Park Ji-yeon, one of the members of T-ARA and also a little busy, was holding a dinner plate and was looking at herself with surprise on her face, "It's Ji-yeon!" How did you get here. ”

Ji-yeon didn't care whether Zi-hee had made an appointment or not, she sat next to Zi-hee without hesitation, put the dinner plate down, and said happily, "Did you forget OPPA?" I'm filming a TV series on KBS, and I've just finished filming, so I'm coming over for lunch. ”

"Oh!" Zixi responded. It's not that he doesn't pay attention to the personal development of T-ARA members, but his eyes have been attracted by the deep Ji-yeon holding a dinner plate, and now Ji-yeon is like seeing a fragrant fat sheep in Zi-hee's eyes. Belch! Wrong, it should be tonkatsu rice on a plate. Zixi's stomach screamed again, and the secretion of fluid in his mouth accelerated, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva "gurgling".

Ji-yeon didn't realize it, picked up a glass of juice and took a sip, tore open a piece of gimbap and took a bite.

Ji-yeon's plate really has a lot of stuff, in addition to a plate of fried pork cutlet rice, there is also a gimbap, tofu miso soup, a large glass of apple juice, and a rice thief with pickled pickles, crab sauce, and squid sauce.

Zi-hee swallowed her saliva again and asked Ji-yeon, who was eating with relish, "Ji-yeon! If you eat so much, aren't you afraid of gaining weight? If you are fat and deformed, it is very likely that you will not meet the requirements of the director, and then you will be in big trouble. ”

"Uh" Ji-yeon was stunned for a moment, and the gimbap she took a bite of also stopped at her mouth. As an IDOL, especially a female IDOL, I am very strict about my body management. Even if the company and the agent don't pay attention to this, the artist himself will be self-managed and strict, and it cannot be ignored.

Ji-yeon, who is only eighteen years old this year, is the time to grow her body, and now her work not only requires a busy group of activities, but also needs to take care of the filming of TV dramas, which is extremely physically exertional, and this bit of food is really nothing.

Seeing Ji-yeon's hesitation, Zi-hee's opportunity arrived. Taking the tonkatsu rice from the plate and putting it in front of him, Zixi said to Jiyeon with a generous expression of "I am a humane-natured person": "The cholesterol of the tonkatsu rice is very high, and it will be bad for your health if you talk too much, so OPPA will help you eat it." ”

Ji-yeon never thought that Zi-hee would snatch her food, so she didn't even have time to react. Zixi had already picked up a piece of fried golden pork chops and put it into his mouth, chewed it beautifully, and showed an expression of enjoyment on his face. Or in Ji-yeon's eyes, it's an underbeaten expression.

“OPPA!” Ji-yeon, who was robbed of the tonkatsu rice, saw Zi-hee, who was enjoying the lunch that should have belonged to her, her eyes turned red and she almost didn't cry. pouted, his face was full of grievances, he looked at the fried pork cutlet rice that originally belonged to him with "attachment", and protested the "atrocity" done by Zixi without words.

"Ji-yeon, you're moving so soon!" Two more men and one woman came over with dinner plates, and just after saying hello to Zhiyan, they found Zixi beside Zhiyan, and the three of them were all stunned, then they stood up straight, bowed to Zixi ninety degrees, and said nervously: "Zixi senior!" ”

"You're Ji-yeon's friends, you're welcome, let's sit together!" Zixi was busy filling her stomach, glanced at the three of them, and casually beckoned them to sit down.

The seniors asked them to sit, even if they were nervous, but no one dared to show it immediately. Sit down cautiously, buttocks close to half of each other, look down at me, I look at you, no one dares to speak.

Seeming to see their nervousness, Zixi smiled: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a monster, but I won't eat people." ”

"Zixi OPPA doesn't eat people, but eats my tonkatsu rice." Ji-yeon was not as nervous as the other three, pouting to accuse Zi-hee of her "evil deeds".

Zhiyan's words made the three who had just arrived open their mouths wide and couldn't close them, but Zixi smiled awkwardly, glared at Zhiyan viciously, and said, "It's said that eating too much pork cutlet is not good for your health, OPPA is helping you." ”

Ji-yeon doesn't have a sense of awe for Zi-hee like the rest of the T-ARA, this little guy has no heart and no scheming, and he will say whatever comes to mind. And Zi-hee's excuse is really lame enough, so Ji-yeon doesn't care whether Zi-hee will be embarrassed or not, wrinkles her tight little face, and says bluntly: "I'm not a three-year-old anymore, OPPA took my lunch." ”

Now don't mention how depressed and aggrieved Zixi's heart and expression are. No matter how much this little guy says anything, he treats Zixi as a villain who does all kinds of evil and is so bad that he robs the child of the lollipop.
