When Zixi came to the crew of [Boys Over Flowers], they had already finished filming the last scene, the staff were watching props and film and television equipment, and the four people of F4 were still helping on the side, Kim So-eun who played Choo Ga-yi and Lee Min-jeong who played Ha Jae-kyung were also there, but Gu Hye-sun was missing.

Zixi appeared in the crew, first greeted Director Kim Ki-sang and Yoon Ji-lian and said hello, where did he come to F4, and asked them with a smile: "How is it, is the shooting going well?" ”

"Whew!" The four of them didn't expect Zixi to really appear, and they thought that eating with them was just a joke, but they didn't expect Zixi not only to appear, but also to look for them at the scene in person.

Zixi looked around and asked, "What about Hye-sun?" Why didn't you see her, did you go to remove your makeup? ”

As Kim Hyun-joong, who is most familiar with Zi-hee, apologized: "Hye-sun left with his agent as soon as he finished filming, as if he was going back to Seoul to participate in some event." ”

Zixi was stunned, Gu Hye-sun actually left, why didn't he say hello to himself and leave? "You guys pack up your things and come out, I've already instructed the club to prepare, everyone will go to dinner together in a while, and director Kim Ki-sang and screenwriter Yoon Ji-lian will also come."

"Okay, we'll do it right away." Kim Hyun-joong hurriedly urged Kim Beom to hurry up.

Zixi just picked up the phone and was about to call Gu Hye-sun and ask her if there was anything important, otherwise she wouldn't have left without even giving her a phone. Here, Kim So-eun pulled Li Minzhen over, bowed and said, "Hello Zixi senior! Are you going to call Sister Hye-sun? ”

"Oh! It's So-eun, yes! I want to call Hye-sun and ask, why don't you tell me and leave, it's rare to meet, but I made an appointment to eat together before. ”

Kim So-eun apologized, "I'm sorry! Senior, Sister Hye-sun seems to have something very important to go back to Seoul to deal with, she told me that if the senior really comes, let me say sorry to you on her behalf. ”

"That's it!" Zixi shrugged helplessly and said, "It seems that Huishan has no luck tonight, but I have prepared a lot of good things." ”

"I'm sorry senior!" Where else did Kim So-eun continue to apologize.

"There's no need to say I'm sorry, and don't keep shouting from my seniors, since you call Hye-sun a sister, then just call me OPPA." Zixi interrupted Kim So-eun with a wave of her hand, and looked at Lee Min-jung, who was standing beside her with a restrained expression.

"Hello Zixi senior! I'm Lee Min-jeong. ”

"Hello!" Zixi greeted her with a smile and said, "You will also come over for dinner in a while, you are all actors, don't be too restrained." ”

"Xie Lu, Xie Zixi, senior!"

After Zixi finished speaking, he left the crew, Li Minzhen saw that Zixi had finally walked away, she breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest with her hand, and said: "Zixi's predecessor's aura is too powerful, standing next to him, I don't even dare to take a breath." Especially when he stared at me just now, my heart was about to jump out. ”

"Hee-hee! I didn't expect Min Zhen Oni to be afraid, didn't I say it before, Zixi OPPA is very easy to get along with, and there is no fight at all for us juniors. Then again, Min Jung Oni seems to be older than Zi Hee's OPPA, is she so afraid to see him? Kim So-eun took Lee Min-jeong's hand and said.

"Humph! You just said it softly, I can guarantee that all the juniors will be frightened when they see Zixi's predecessors for the first time. This is South Korea's No. 1 male star, a star in the world and a Hollywood superstar, who dares to say that he can face it calmly? Lee Min Jung slapped Kim So-eun's forehead with a palm and said with a smile: "It's better to clean up quickly, lest your Zixi OPPA have to wait for a long time." ”

"Ernie, you're making fun of me."

Zixi really prepared a lot of things, a large plate full of Hengcheng Korean beef, prawns and fresh abalone, as well as pork belly and kimchi, and ginseng chicken soup, all in a small indoor garden made of glass. After the arrival of the actors and important crew members of [Boys Over Flowers] led by the club staff, they saw a lot of valuable food, not only did their saliva water, but they couldn't help but admire Zixi's generosity in their hearts.

In fact, there are only about a dozen people from the crew, in addition to the director, screenwriter, several camera and radio directors, the four people from F4, as well as Kim So-eun and Lee Min-jeong, and Kim Hyun-joo, who Zi-hee once met at the SBS TV Acting Awards, also came.

Some of the people who came here wanted to have a good relationship with Zixi, some wanted to get in touch with Zixi, and some came to invite Zixi to save face. When they saw a large table full of delicacies, they couldn't help it, and under Zixi's greeting, several young juniors were in front of the oven to roast fragrant barbecue meat for the seniors and directors.

Artists pay attention to popularity, connections and popularity, and popular artists will naturally have many people around them who are willing to associate with him, although this cannot be said to be warm and cold, but this is an ironclad fact in the entertainment industry. As for connections and popularity, they are what every artist wants to have and get. As the saying goes, having multiple friends is one more way, and no one dares to guarantee who can help them when they are in need.

Zixi's popularity is very wide among artists, and he knows artists from actors, singers to MCs in various fields, only funny artists are relatively lacking, which may be related to the fact that he rarely participates in variety shows. The reason why these artists can associate with Zixi is that Zixi has a good character and a good temper, and has never regarded himself as a person who is invincible in the world, from his debut to now becoming a star in the world, which makes many artists really make friends and associate with him.

For example, at today's dinner, most of the people who knew Zixi and had a good relationship with him. But chatting and laughing with Zixi at the scene, I was slowly infected by his free and boldness. Especially Lee Min Jung, Lee Min Ho and Kim So Eun, who are about the same age, trembling at the beginning, to standing in front of the barbecue with Zixi and laughing, they can gradually let go and will no longer be too restrained and cautious.

Kim So-eun opened her mouth, took the roasted fresh abalone that Zixi gave her with tongs, chewed and swallowed it with hot air, and gave a thumbs up to praise everyone: "Dafa, it's so delicious." ”

"Eat more if it's delicious, these are fresh abalone from Busan." Zixi said and picked up another piece and sent it to Li Minzhen's mouth, who took it a little embarrassed.

"Zixi OPPA, why didn't you see Yoon Eun-hye's senior? Is she gone too? Kim So-eun chatted with Zixi a lot, and she was in awe of him a lot, and she spoke a lot more casually.

"Eun Hui is a little unwell and has already left first."

"Hey Yigu, I thought I would have the opportunity to talk to Yin Enhui's seniors and let her teach me how to practice my acting skills!" Kim So-eun said disappointedly.

"It's okay, next time I have a chance, I'll introduce her to you. They are all artists in the circle, and it is good for everyone to communicate more and come and go. ”

"Xie Lu, Xie Zixi, OPPA."

"I heard that your [Boys Over Flowers] has received 25% ratings after four episodes, congratulations so much!"

"Xie Lu, Xie Zixi, senior!" Lee Min Ho smiled knowingly when he heard Zi-hee praise them. There is nothing like getting the appreciation of your predecessors as the best encouragement, especially a superstar like Zixi who has a certain say in the circle.

Although Zixi has rarely mixed in the Korean film and television industry, he still knows that the situation of Korean dramas in recent years has not been very good. Especially when the global financial crisis broke out last year, many sponsors and advertisers shrank their promotional funds, which indirectly reduced the profits of TV stations and film and television production companies, and the production expenses invested in TV dramas naturally also need to be reduced.

This is actually a vicious circle, with less investment, it is naturally difficult to shoot high-quality TV series, and the ratings of the broadcast are not ideal, so sponsors and advertisers are also unwilling to spend money on it, and then TV stations and production companies have less profit growth, and then they can only reduce investment again. The situation only gets worse if this goes on and on.

Zixi knows very well that in the past few years, compared with when he first debuted, it is far inferior, TV series are rarely able to exceed 40% of the ratings, and as for the huge trench of 50%, I am afraid that it has now become the dream of countless directors and screenwriters. Especially last year, only a few Japanese dramas such as SBS TV's "Bad Wife Club", KBS's "Mom is Angry" and "You Are My Destiny" were able to barely reach 40% of their popularity through a long period of accumulation, which is absolutely rare for the three major TV stations to broadcast nearly 200 TV dramas a year.

"Zixi OPPA, the [IRIS] you just took over will definitely be better than us, and the ratings will definitely exceed 40%." Kim So-eun said with certainty.

"Huh! Does Soun have such confidence in me? Zixi smiled noncommittally.

"Of course, Zixi OPPA is a star in the world, with millions of fans, they will definitely support you." Kim So-eun seems to be a little blind worship when he speaks.

"Hahaha! No matter how many fans you have, if you don't have good quality, everything is empty talk. Zixi raised the barbecue tong and said solemnly: "You have to remember that the success of a drama is not determined by the number of fans that the starring artist has, and don't have this mentality." The ratings of a TV series can always only be determined by the quality of the TV series, from the script writing, shooting techniques to the acting skills of the actors, all of which are crucial factors that determine the success of a TV series, and they are all indispensable. If you want to star in a successful TV series and be recognized, then you must spend more time studying the script and acting skills, and don't be complacent just because you get good grades. ”

"Whew!" F4 listened carefully and answered cautiously. Director Kim Ki-sang, who is on the side, is very satisfied that Zixi can mention and teach these rookie actors as a senior actor, which is undoubtedly a great favor for him.

Kim So-eun suddenly approached Zixi's side and asked in a low voice, "Zixi OPPA, do you have a relationship with anyone now?" What do you think of us artists talking about dating partners? Is it to be made public or to be concealed? ”

"Yikes! Why do you suddenly ask such a sensitive topic? ”

"Hee-hee, people are just curious!" Kim So-eun laughed and hid behind Lee Min-jung, avoiding the barbecue tongs that Zi-hee knocked over.

Seeing that several people around him were looking at him, their eyes full of curiosity, Zixi smiled and said, "In fact, artists who take off the halo of stars are also ordinary people, and they also need to organize a family." As for whether it is open or hidden, then it is a matter of personal concern, and it is difficult to say. ”

"And what about Zixi OPPA? If you had a relationship, would you choose to make it public? At this time, even Director Kim Ki-sang on the side pricked up his ears and listened.

Zixi lowered his head and groaned, he really hadn't thought about this problem, after all, there were too many women around him, and they were all popular actresses, which could never be made public. Avoiding the important and lightly said: "It depends! As actors, we don't have as many scruples as Idols, even if we really have a dating partner, after it is made public, fans will be considerate. ”
