After talking with Guo Zai Rong, he and Zhang Dongguo quickly left, while Li Zhengxi, who had nothing to do, slowly strolled along the river with Sun Yizhen under the dim streetlights!
"Hey, here, have a bite!" Sun Yizhen held a piece of fried chicken to his mouth. Seeing Li Zhengxi's skeptical expression, she giggled, "I can't finish it!" After he ate it, she looked at him with disdain and gave him an elbow, pouting, "Really, Miss here is feeding you, and you're not grateful!"
Li Zhengxi just smiled and ignored her. He was thinking about how to talk to Park Dong Chan about the other scripts he had. He now had three scripts in hand.
He had also considered submitting them directly to MBC or SBS, like "Mom and Sister" which was produced by MBC. However, it would be better to give them to Park Dong Chan, as he currently had no fame, especially in TV dramas. If he blindly submitted them, they might just disappear without a trace!
But if he waited until "Blue生死恋" (Blue Love) became popular, that would be too inefficient, and who knows how "Blue Love" would turn out?
"Hey, what are you thinking about!" Sun Yizhen poked him again. When he turned his head, she said with some annoyance, "There's a live person right next to you, and you're daydreaming? That's not very gentlemanly!"
Li Zhengxi was taken aback, then casually replied, "Yeah, especially when you're a beauty!" This made her giggle and roll her eyes, then she shrugged, "Well, I've written some more scripts and plan to show them to Director Park!"
"Ah!" Sun Yizhen was first surprised, then her eyes lit up. She stretched out her pale hand, "Then show me first, let me pick a role that suits me!"
Li Zhengxi chuckled and tapped her hand, "Even if I wanted to show you, I wouldn't carry them with me," seeing Sun Yizhen's dissatisfaction and her flailing, he quickly grabbed her hand, "You have oil on your hands...!"
"That's perfect!" Sun Yizhen struggled with satisfaction, almost dropping the fried chicken in her other hand onto him.
"Stop it, don't mess around!" Li Zhengxi quickly stopped her and immediately changed the subject to divert her attention, "And about the role you mentioned, you can rest assured. As your agent, unless you don't want to act, I guarantee you a steady stream of offers..."
"Pfft, trying to fool me again?" Sun Yizhen pouted, "You sly guy, do you think I'll be as moved as that dumb director and worship you...!"
Seeing him resist, he even took out a handkerchief to wipe the oil off her hands, which made her smile. She let him do it, but her mouth was full of dissatisfaction, "And you say you're my agent, but why did I only get this role, and even that I had to work hard for? And there are no commercial endorsements or advertisements..."
Finally, he finished wiping her hands and escaped his grasp, then punched him, "Agent, huh? Is that how you act as an agent!"
Li Zhengxi laughed, teasing her, "Wow, so much resentment!" Before she could react, he dodged and then said seriously, "I ask you, if you were offered a million-dollar endorsement now, and in three months, it would be at least twenty million, would you sign now or later...?"
"Pfft, trying to fool me again!" Sun Yizhen understood but refused to fall for it, even goading him, "I'd sign now, go find it for me!"
Li Zhengxi was taken aback. Sun Yizhen had only done one commercial and was currently acting in "Blue Love," but she had no fame at all. Getting a commercial endorsement was a dream. She clearly knew this, which is why she said it.
"That's what you said!" Li Zhengxi wouldn't admit defeat, but Sun Yizhen was even more stubborn, her eyes twinkling with mischief. So, he chose to ignore her provocation.
They had been in Cheonghodong for quite a while, but they hadn't really gone out much. Sun Yizhen and Li Zhengxi were both excited, eating and chatting as they played until almost eleven before returning to their residence.
Originally, Li Zhengxi was in a good mood when he opened the door, but when he saw that demon Alice in the room again, he froze.
She had found him so quickly, usually she only appeared once a month. The sneer on her lips, did she guess something? Li Zhengxi's heart started racing!
She was wearing a light green Hanfu, not a modern version or a hanbok, but a standard Hanfu. The collar, sleeves, and hem were embroidered with light gold peonies, and a purple sash was tied around her waist, making her look both noble and beautiful, which only made the demon more stunning.
"Wow, so beautiful!" Although it was sincere, Li Zhengxi was actually trying to change the subject.
However, Alice was no fool and wouldn't be easily distracted. Her gaze remained fixed on him, and the sneer on her face became more evident. Finally, when Li Zhengxi was about to break out in a cold sweat, she suddenly shouted, "Boy, I already know your secret!"
The timing was perfect. Li Zhengxi was at his most nervous, and her sudden words almost made him jump. However, having lived two lives, and with Alice not pressuring him, he wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal the answer himself.
"So what if you know?" After calming down a bit, regardless of whether she really knew or was bluffing, Li Zhengxi pouted and defiantly shouted, "Bite me!"
"You!" Alice was almost fuming with anger, but she thought Li Zhengxi had already seen through her lack of knowledge. She gritted her teeth and spat at him, "Bastard, don't get too cocky, I've already had someone investigate you. In a few days, you'll have nowhere to hide, and then I'll see how I deal with you..."
What did she mean, she didn't know. Li Zhengxi was stunned, quickly lowering his head to hide his shock. Then, he suddenly burst into laughter, laughing wildly and crazily. Finally, he looked at Alice with a mocking gaze, deliberately teasing her, "Want to know? Darling, I can tell you!"
"Ah!" Alice raised her hand to hit him but thought of the consequences and had to hold back. She rubbed her head and screamed.
This was the first time Li Zhengxi had seen her like this, but he wouldn't feel sorry for her. Instead, he felt incredibly relieved and taunted her again, "Hey, darling, to be honest, your system has too many bugs, I feel a bit guilty taking advantage of you...!"
"Hmph! We'll see!" Alice realized she had lost her composure, which only made the boy more confident. She quickly regained her composure and glared at him, "And I'll see your face soon...!"
With that, the demon disappeared into thin air. Li Zhengxi breathed a sigh of relief and didn't pay attention to Alice's last words.
He thought, the Demon Entertainment System doesn't know about my rebirth, so Alice and the others won't know my secret. That's enough. So, he quickly fell into a sweet sleep.
The next morning, the production team was still filming in Cheonghodong. This time, it was Won Bin's character, Han Tae-sik, who saw Sun Yizhen's character, Eun-hi, going on a blind date with an older man and ran away with her, ending up at the beach.
Apart from the beach scene, where Sun Yizhen had a long dialogue that required more acting, there wasn't much difficulty at the beginning. Li Zhengxi didn't need to watch closely, so he took the opportunity to talk to Park Dong Chan about the "Mom and Sister" script.
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to treat me," seeing Park Dong Chan's surprise at being pulled to a quiet spot, Li Zhengxi joked, then smiled, "Well, how should I put it, I've just written another good script. I wonder if KBS is interested?"
"Ah!" Park Dong Chan was clearly surprised, "This one isn't even finished, and I remember the 'Friend' script was yours too...?"
Li Zhengxi thought, I also have a "My Sassy Girl" script in preparation, and I actually have three scripts, but I can't say that. He just smiled, "What, are you worried it won't be good? You can take a look first. And I think if 'Blue Love' succeeds, you might be able to use my script as a follow-up. This way, from the second half of this year to New Year's Day next year, you'll have good ratings!"
"You little brat!" Park Dong Chan laughed and punched him, "It's not that I don't trust you, but the follow-up has already been decided," he paused, then put his arm around Li Zhengxi's shoulder and lowered his voice, "To be honest, if this one fails, I don't even know where the next one will be!"
This was clear enough. Li Zhengxi knew that Park Dong Chan trusted him completely to say this. He smiled and nodded in understanding, just as he was about to say something, a chorus of gasps came from the filming set!
When they both looked over in surprise, the set was already in chaos.
Their faces changed, and they quickly ran forward, pushing through the crowd. Inside, Won Bin was holding his leg in pain, his face scratched and bleeding. More seriously, his leg looked deformed...
At that moment, Li Zhengxi suddenly remembered Alice's words from the night before and gritted his teeth, angrily growling, "Alice, you shameless scoundrel..."
Most people didn't hear, and those who did were too busy to pay attention. However, in his ear, Alice's clear and cheerful voice rang out, "Oh, darling, you're already angry? What are you going to do now!"
As she spoke, almost simultaneously, a notification box popped up in Li Zhengxi's mind... PS: Recommend and collect, don't miss either, dear!
