Covering her face, she begged for likes and recommendations!!!
Lin Yuner was very upset today, really very upset. Yesterday, she had pretended to be sick and acted stubbornly, finally managing to cancel her schedule. Lin Xiaolu, skipping happily, found a cinema and wanted to see what kind of movie Uncle Li Zhong had made. However, she was stopped from entering. Lin Yuner originally wanted to argue with the staff, but when she looked up, she saw that the poster for "The Chaser" clearly stated it was restricted to viewers 19 years and older.
Lin Yuner was dumbfounded. She had barely managed to push her schedule back and squeeze out time to watch this movie, only to find out she couldn't because of the age restriction. This made her extremely angry. Why did Li Zhong have to make a restricted movie? Even if he did, wasn't there a version for those 18 and older? Why did he have to make it 19 and older? As a result, everyone at the cinema entrance saw a tall, slender figure filled with resentment.
While Lin Yuner was sulking, Kim Tae-yeon and Jung Soo-yeon were also somewhat distracted. The reason was simple: yesterday, they had also canceled their schedules and gone to see "The Chaser."
For Kim Tae-yeon, "The Chaser" was nothing but shocking. She really didn't expect Li Zhong to tell such a story. How could someone so cheerful be so cruel? After watching "The Chaser," Kim Tae-yeon could only describe Li Zhong as cruel.
Jung Soo-yeon, on the other hand, was different. She was naturally timid and had gone to the cinema alone to watch a thriller. If she hadn't dozed off intermittently, she would have been terrified. Even so, when she saw the final scene with Meizhen's head, her face turned pale. On the way back, Jung Soo-yeon couldn't understand how such a gentle and refined person like Li Zhong could write such a bloody script.
The more Lin Yuner thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she became, the more she thought about it. She was angry all morning. At lunchtime, Lin Yuner sent a vicious text to Li Zhong: "Uncle, I curse you to have no seasoning packet in your instant noodles, the tab on your cola to break, your car tire to burst, and even if you see a beautiful woman, she'll be your nemesis!!!" After sending the text, Lin Yuner felt like she had let out her anger and happily ate her boxed lunch...
Li Zhong had a good night's sleep, dreamless and waking up at 11:30. After washing his face, brushing his teeth, and shaving, he received a text message. "Who would text me at noon? Could someone be inviting me to lunch?" Li Zhong muttered to himself.
Taking out his phone, Li Zhong burst out laughing. Lin Yuner was really too playful... "I haven't done anything to her, why is she cursing me? No seasoning packet, broken tab, burst tire, and even a beautiful woman being a nemesis? This is too funny..." Li Zhong couldn't stop laughing...
"Um... Thanks, beautiful Yuner. At least she didn't say the beautiful woman was a transvestite, or I would have been really scared... Are you busy? I'll treat you and the other eight beautiful ladies to lunch sometime this week. I'm not poor anymore recently." Li Zhong replied to the playful Yuner.
"I won't talk to you, bad guy. Ask Tae-yeon-ssi, she knows our schedule." Yuner's text read.
Over the past few days, Li Zhong had noticed through chatting with Yuner that she was completely different from what he had seen. He saw a quiet and gentle Yuner, sitting there like a painting. But the Yuner in the messages and the one described by Girls' Generation was a mischievous and lively girl. So, Li Zhong gradually started treating Yuner as a playful girl...
Li Zhong opened the fridge and took out a box of instant noodles. He planned to have a quick meal before the "Film Is Film" meeting in the evening. When he opened the noodles, he was surprised to find no seasoning packet... There really was no seasoning packet! Li Zhong had no choice but to open another box, which fortunately had a seasoning packet. He ate two boxes of noodles, but they were a bit bland.
He went downstairs to drive to Zhang Xun's place to discuss the movie script. Although he was one of the lead actors, he was also an assistant director, so he was part of the production team and had to pitch in.
Li Zhong drove to the area where Zhang Xun's company was located. Remembering he had no cigarettes, he got out of the car and went to a supermarket to buy a pack. He also bought a can of cola, which he put in the car. Looking at the cola in his hand, Li Zhong thought, "What's wrong with me? Could Yuner's curse really come true?"
Li Zhong was silent, holding the cola in one hand and the other hand's thumb on the tab. With a "pop," Li Zhong's expression was quite dramatic, turning white, then red, then purple. It turned out he had pulled the tab too hard and it broke...
"Really a curse, I wonder if Yuner has learned witchcraft..." Li Zhong's mouth twitched...
"Beautiful Yuner, have you learned witchcraft, or is your family a lineage of witches?" Li Zhong sent a text to Yuner... After that, Li Zhong drove very carefully and slowly to Zhang Xun's building.
When he got out of the car, Li Zhong looked around cautiously, like a frightened rabbit, and ran into the building. He was on edge until dinner time.
In the evening, Zhang Xun invited Kim Ki-duk, So Ji-sub, Li Zhong, and some other crew members for dinner to discuss the script and arrange their schedules to avoid conflicts with other programs.
Kim Ki-duk had gone to the company in the afternoon. This production company was his own, specifically for financing his films. Although his films didn't do well at the box office in Korea and sometimes couldn't even be released, Kim Ki-duk was the most well-known Korean director in Europe and America. His films had won important awards at international film festivals and were distributed in many countries, providing a profound emotional impact. Li Zhong's directing style was heavily influenced by Kim Ki-duk.
So, even though everyone at the dinner was part of the crew, they were all very formal and respectful, given Kim Ki-duk's presence.
"Zhang Xun, a junior of mine will help with the costume design. You know her, Ma Yanxi. You can discuss the visual aspects with her. I'll go home now." Kim Ki-duk felt a bit out of place among the younger people, so he left.
After Kim Ki-duk left, everyone relaxed a bit. "Teacher Kim puts a lot of pressure on us!" Li Zhong said. Although Li Zhong had worked with Kim Ki-duk, who had a high opinion of him, Kim Ki-duk's personality made him a man of few words. He had only said "The movie is good," "The editing is good," and "The visuals are great" to Li Zhong.
"Yeah, Teacher has been a bit depressed lately," Zhang Xun said softly.
"Ah, it's gotten worse?" Li Zhong asked, surprised.
"Yeah, but at least he came today," Zhang Xun said helplessly.
"Alright, let's cheer up. Let's drink. I'll get some soju." Li Zhong got up to fetch a few bottles of soju.
When Li Zhong returned, he found two girls sitting next to Zhang Xun. One of them looked familiar from behind.
"This is our assistant director and lead actor, Li Zhong," Zhang Xun introduced the two girls when he saw Li Zhong come in.
Li Zhong was about to smile and greet them when he froze, thinking, "No way, I can't believe I'd run into her here."
One of the girls was the fashion industry's new star, Ma Yanxi, and the other was the person Li Zhong was trying to avoid, Yoon Seon-hee.
