My landlord is a big star

Chapter 98 97. Showering with video?

In the blink of an eye, the time came to October 10st.

There is only one day left until the opening of the Busan International Film Festival, which will be held at the Film Palace in Haeundae District, Busan.

This film festival is very important, with a lot of publicity in the early stage, and the popularity and traffic are all full. Xu Lin also arrived at the airport early under the arrangement of Li Quanbin, preparing to fly to Busan.

"Kim Jiyoung Born in 82" is still in theaters, and the box office of the movie continues to rise. In just five weeks of its release, the total box office has reached a terrifying 500 million moviegoers. You must know that the entire population of South Korea is only 5000 million, and the box office results are said to be unique. It's not an exaggeration, sadly the film couldn't make it to this festival.

Most artists are aware of the overt and covert operations, so they don't care about this situation. There are too many people resisting and protesting this film, and the film festival chose to compromise for the sake of traffic.

To put it bluntly, if "Jin Zhiying Born in 82" was selected for the Busan Film Festival, Han Nan might make trouble.

Crazy criticism of the country is normal, but most people know that this film will leave a strong mark in the history of Korean film, after all, the achievements and significance are on the bright side.

Therefore, Xu Lin's film for the Busan Film Festival is actually "Dear, Don't Cross That River".

The plane took off and landed successfully an hour later. Xu Lin successfully landed in this so-called second largest city in South Korea. As soon as he walked out of the airport, he saw the staff who came to meet him.

The folk customs of Busan are somewhat similar to those in the Northeast of China, they are sturdy, simple, generous and informal.

The staff member who came to meet Xu Lin was called Quan Zaimin, who was under Li Quanbin of CJ Entertainment and belonged to him.

He had participated in the filming before, and he knew that Xu Lin was the kind of generous person.

He didn't like troublesome etiquette. After seeing Xu Lin, he waved the greeting card in his hand and shouted.

"Oh! Director Xu!! I'm here!"

"..."

Xu Lin lowered the brim of his hat and walked over speechlessly.

"What are you calling, you are afraid that others will not recognize me, right? I don't want to be pestered by media reporters for interviews."

"Haha, no Director Xu." Quan Zaimin took the backpack in Xu Lin's hand very sensiblely, and said as he walked out, "Supervisor Li told me to take good care of you, and I will protect you."

"Li Quanbin is really free. I have nothing to take care of. Are you driving? Just take me to the hotel."

"Of course I'm driving, Director Xu please!"

Following behind the staff of his own company, Xu Lin stepped out of the airport and boarded a commercial vehicle, which was not bad in size.

After all, he is also the director of CJ Entertainment. Li Quanbin would not agree with him if he wanted to keep a low profile on the scale of the show. Xu Lin who came out to participate in the event represented the company, and the hardware equipment must have face.

The vehicles are driving smoothly on the roads of Busan. As the largest port city in South Korea, the development is naturally good. Although it is not as lively as Seoul, the prosperity is not far behind Seoul.

Of course, he only looked at the surface. If he continued to go down, he would find the gap between the cities.

"...Xiaoquan, what time will I appear tomorrow?"

"Director Xu, you will come out at the middle of the stage. We can only go in after the actors have finished walking the red carpet."

There are also rules for the order of appearances in Korean activities, such as appearances according to age or working hours, but this time obviously neither of them were selected, but they appeared with reference to the so-called status.

Xu Lin turned his head and looked out the car window, his eyes gradually blurred, as if he suddenly thought of something, he asked:

"I heard that Chinese actors will also come to participate?"

"That's right, 79 films from 314 countries participated in this film festival, and there are quite a lot of Chinese films."

"Do you know anyone?" Xu Lin continued to ask.

"I'm not sure about this, but I know that an actor named Tang Wei will come to participate. He looks very beautiful."

Very well, Xu Lin fell silent. Most of the artists and directors who participated in the event wanted to socialize. The entertainment industry is a circle. Apart from participating in the film selection, the most important thing is naturally to expand contacts.

But for Xu Lin, he doesn't know who he wants to make friends with, after all, he is not that kind of conventional director.

Silently shutting his mouth, he turned his head sideways and continued to look outside, lying lazily on the back seat of the commercial vehicle.

After arriving at the hotel, Quan Zaimin helped him check in, saying that he would pick him up the next day to attend the event before driving away. The hotel was okay, equivalent to a four-star hotel in China.

After taking the elevator upstairs and swiping his card to enter the room, Xu Lin threw his backpack on the bed, took out his mobile phone and started playing videos.

The video invitation was accepted in an instant, and in the next second, Lin Yuner's handsome face appeared on the phone screen. She had just returned to Korea, and when she came home, she saw Xu Lin's video invitation.

She tossed the things on the luggage first, then raised her mobile phone and asked Xu Lin on the screen:

"Are you in Busan?"

"Well, I just arrived." Xu Lin nodded, lay down on the big bed with a thump, looked at Lin Yuner's exposed half face and asked in confusion: "Why, why don't you let me see the whole face?"

"I was a little swollen sleeping on the plane, and the swelling hasn't gone away yet. Where is your ice cube? I want to apply it to my face."

"You are at my house?" Xu Lin was stunned.

"Yeah, otherwise where could I go?" Lin Yuner pointed her phone at the ceiling suddenly, and there was a sound of rummaging through things: "Ah, why did you go to Busan and turn off the ice machine?"

"I don't know where you're going. Of course you have to turn it off. The film festival will be held until around the 11th. If you don't turn it off, it's a waste of electricity."

"..."

Lin Yuner was a little speechless, Koreans especially like to eat ice, even in winter, this shows their physical fitness.

Didi Didi's voice came out. Xu Lin knew that the girl had turned on the ice machine, so he didn't care. He pressed his forehead and said, "Eat less cold food, you will feel uncomfortable before your menstrual period."

"But it's too hot." Lin Yuner reappeared on the screen, and walked towards the sofa while complaining: "The weather is very strange now, hot during the day and cold at night, and there is no saying in Korea that you don't eat ice during menstrual periods. Besides, I just ate I took painkillers, my stomach won’t hurt, don’t worry, ouch, it’s comfortable~”

"It's comfortable to lie on the sofa? You're quite easy to be satisfied." Xu Lin couldn't help showing a little smile on her face when he looked at her contented little face, mainly because she looked really cute.

South Korea is near the sea, and the temperature varies greatly. For Korean girls who show their legs in winter, eating ice is just a sprinkle of water.

Listening to Xu Lin's joking jokes, Lin Yuner immediately changed the subject, blinked her clear eyes and said, "Oh, don't worry about me, it's you, why are you still in the hotel, don't you need to socialize? I remember this film festival There are a lot of Chinese actors and directors participating, you are not really socially phobic, are you?"

"I don't know anyone. Isn't it strange to strike up a conversation suddenly? What's more, I'm young and don't know what to talk about." Xu Lin was helpless. If he couldn't find a common topic, it would be better not to make friends.

The day before the film festival started, there was a dinner party in the hotel, and most of the actors or directors would attend, so there was no need to dress formally, it was just socializing in the name of a meal.

Strictly speaking, many Chinese actors and directors came to participate in this Busan Film Festival.

But the domestic market is different from the Korean market. Korean directors have a high status, while in China, it is different. Famous directors and big-name actors belong to the same level, which is not as clear as South Korea.

If he went over to talk to him suddenly, he might think that Xu Lin wanted to curry favor with him, but he didn't want to do that.

Anyone who knows Xu Lin knows that he is good in everything, except that he has a weird temper. He doesn't want to make friends or curry favor with others. The feeling of something big.

However, being in the entertainment industry is not enough to be social, Lin Yuner knows this truth well, she covered her forehead with a helpless expression, she naturally knew Xu Lin's character, after thinking for a long time, she persuaded:
"It was the same when I first entered the entertainment industry, but you have to know that it's easier to make movies when you have more friends."

"...meaningless communication is equivalent to wasting time for me." Xu Lin tried to refute, but seeing Lin Yuner's dissatisfied eyes, he was speechless, and finally could only shrug helplessly.

"Okay, my question is, this time there are still a lot of actors and directors who are worth making friends with, but what should I say when I go, if there is no topic, it is better not to go, wasting everyone's time and energy."

Hearing this, Lin Yuner continued to persuade: "How can there be no topic, don't you have an idea for a new script? You can talk about the script with the director, and talk about acting with the actors, why are you so stupid!"

"... Well, what you said makes sense." Xu Lin was very helpless, he didn't know how to explain it to Lin Yun'er.

Networking in the entertainment industry is important, but what Lin Yuner didn't know was that after Xu Lin left, it was only for others to curry favor with him, so it never happened that he took the initiative to talk to others, he was a giant.

In terms of investment, he has a background, and he also has a way to distribute movies. CJ Entertainment's theaters have chain theaters all over the world.

The main reason is that Xu Lin doesn't want to deal with those who speak out of conscience, and it is easier to win his favor by doing practical things than flattering him. Thinking about it carefully, Lin Yuner is also doing it for his own good, Xu Lin is inexplicably moved.

I really don't need to socialize, but Lin Yuner is different, even for her future development, Xu Lin should go.

"Let me rest for a while before I go."

"You can do whatever you want." Lin Yun'er didn't bother to force him, she held her small face with one hand and said, "If you don't want to go, forget it."

"What do you mean... Do you let me go or not?"

"Do you want to go or not, hum!"

Lin Aojiao Yun'er's tone made Xu Lin laugh out loud. He liked the other party's petty temper, and he was inexplicably moved.

Couples think about each other, and the same is true for two people. Although meaningless social interaction is a bit troublesome for Xu Lin, he chooses to accept it for the sake of Lin Yuner's smooth future.

"Okay, I'll go. I'm not an idiot. How could I not know the benefits of socializing? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Who knew you, Mensao ghost!"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Xu Lin's mouth twitched crazily. As expected of his own girlfriend, he really understood his character.

On the other side, Lin Yun'er couldn't help laughing when she saw his appearance, and she said with a light laugh:
"Go take a shower, and then go to the hotel restaurant for dinner."

"...Well, what about you, what's for dinner?"

"I'll order takeaway." Lin Yuner said frankly: "I'm tired from flying today, I don't want to cook, and you're not here..."

As she spoke, she blinked aggrievedly.

Seeing Xu Lin wanted to jerk off immediately and go home to cook for her.

"I'm going to stay in Busan for a long time, why don't you come over?"

"You see you're starting again, so I'm not going. You think you're the only one who has a job!" Lin Yuner raised her head with a proud expression, and flaunted, "Sister, I have a lot of endorsements recently, and I'm too busy."

The most profitable thing for Korean idols is not releasing new songs. The product endorsement fee is much higher than selling albums, which is not at the same level at all.

These words made Xu Lin laugh, he nodded, followed her words and praised: "Yes, yes, our Yun'er is the busiest, she is beautiful and sweet, has fair skin and long legs, it is very, very normal to have an endorsement!"

"Tch, you have a sweet mouth, okay, go take a bath, I'm going to take a bath too, my body is sticky."

"Hmm... do you want to hang up the video?"

After the words fell, Lin Yun'er was startled, as if she didn't understand the meaning of his words, she rolled her eyes at him after realizing it.

"I don't mind, anyway, I'm not the one who suffers."

"..."

To be honest, when he was in Australia before, Xu Lin hugged her every time and said that he was uncomfortable. At that time, Lin Yuner was on her menstrual period, so naturally nothing happened. Now she is chatting through the screen, she is not afraid.

This guy won't just jerk off and come back straight away, Lin Yun'er believes he can figure out which is more important.

"...It's better to hang up."

Sure enough, hearing this, Lin Yun'er was not lucky, but instead smiled slyly and blinked her right eye at the screen.

"Come on, Oppa~ Let's play the video, shall we?"

"..." After a moment of silence, several black lines appeared on Xu Lin's face, and he stared: "You wait for me to go back!"

"Brother~ Can't you turn on the video now?"

Lin Yuner, who is not good at Korean, spoke in Chinese again. Seeing Xu Lin's face slowly turning black, and then he forcibly hung up the video, Lin Yuner was not angry, but grinned, and her mood suddenly improved.

She hummed a song and got up from the sofa, walked into the bedroom, took out her pajamas, and then walked into the bathroom, and then the sound of running water sounded.

On the other side, the energetic Xu Lin frantically rubbed his face against the water, trying to calm himself down in this way, but unfortunately it didn't work, and he was so angry that he immediately took out his phone.

I am afraid that there is no one in the world worse than Xu Lin. It is really sad to have a beautiful girlfriend who has to bring a mobile phone into the toilet.

Half an hour later, a refreshed Xu Lin came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe. His face was a little red, but it didn't matter. He walked to the bed, opened his backpack, and began to choose the clothes he was going to wear later.

He is not good at clothing, but there is a good saying that a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. A handsome man looks good even in a sack.

He took out a short sleeve with a rabbit on the chest, and took out a pair of black overalls shorts. After putting them on, Xu Lin dried his hair. At around seven o'clock in the evening, he stepped on white sneakers and entered the hotel restaurant.

Since they are all here to participate in the film festival, most of the artists live in designated hotels. The design of the restaurant is almost the same as that in China. It doesn't matter, after all, everyone is here to expand their social circle, and it doesn't matter what they eat.

Xu Lin looked around and saw a lot of familiar actors. The whole restaurant was chatting in full swing, and it felt like a crowd. He went to the dishes and ordered beef bone soup and pancakes. After getting the meal, he turned around Not sure where to go.

Almost all the seats were occupied, he couldn't rush to sit down, he stood stupidly looking for an empty seat.

At this moment, an imposing-looking woman waved to him. Xu Lin saw that the actor Tang Wei was a compatriot after all. Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, he immediately stood up to take care of him.

Xu Lin smiled and walked towards Tang Weina with his dinner plate. Before he reached it, he was startled.

Naturally, Tang Wei is not the only one socializing. Liu Shishi, Ruan Jingtian, Xu Anhua, and Guo Tao are talking and laughing happily.

Xu Lin walked over and greeted Tang Wei, and when he was seated, he called each other brother and sister. There was no way, given his age, let alone he was still a student, so he couldn't put on airs.

Seeing his modesty, everyone shook hands with Xu Lin to express their welcome. Although he didn't make a film in China, the Korean wave is raging now. They have heard a little about the achievements of the Chinese in Korea. They worked hard outside alone at a young age. I don't have the courage to be them, and I can't say I admire them, but they are my compatriots after all.

Of course, it was also because of Xu Lin's sense of proportion. When he shook hands with everyone, he used both hands. It can be said that he used humility to the extreme, respected each other, and did not lose face or be rude to anyone.

After saying hello, Xu Lin looked at Guo Tao's son. Just as he was about to say hello to the child, he heard Shitou say:
"Brother Xu Lin, hello."

"Ah, hello, hello." Xu Lin laughed, and the child was quite polite: "Are you still used to eating?"

"It's okay, not as delicious as ours."

Children can't lie, especially Shitou who has participated in the show. After hearing this, everyone was happy. Guo Tao touched his son's head, looked up with a smile and said a few words:
"This kid is really serious. Before coming here, he insisted on eating all the Korean food, but after eating something, he felt that the taste was mediocre."

"Children may not be used to it." Xu Lin smiled: "I'm used to it, anyway, it's spicy."

Hearing this, Tang Wei sneered: "How dare you get used to it? You obviously ordered beef soup."

"That can't be helped, sister, you know, there's nothing to eat here." Xu Lin picked up the spoon and said helplessly.

There is a saying that you can tolerate the darkness, but only if you have never seen the light. For the Chinese present, Korean food is just a novelty, and it is really uncomfortable to eat all the time.

However, there are no exceptions. Tang Wei turned his face away, as if thinking of something, and said softly:

"There's an old shop called Soft Tofu in the south of the Yangtze River. It tastes good. I used to eat there often."

"The store in the building?" Xu Lin asked.

"Yeah, have you been there?"

South Korea is not big, and Seoul is even smaller, but if you talk about the place, Xu Lin can probably guess which store it is.

He nodded to Tang Wei and said with a smile:
"When I was in school, I often went there with my friends."
