Liu Zhimin, who was practicing dance when she was suddenly called out from the crowd by room manager Li Meizhu, was confused and followed her with some confusion. She wanted to ask something, but she moved her lips and decided not to... and entered the company.
After several losses and reprimands, she already knew that the room chief didn't like others to talk too much.
Wiping the sweat on her face, she followed obediently, and there was a sound of light footsteps in the somewhat shabby corridor... But Li Meizhu did not go far or go to the office, but took her to the next door.
It stopped at the corner.
After standing still, Li Meizhu turned to look at Liu Zhimin. She really didn't expect that this trainee who had just joined the company for a few months would actually pass the screening and get the opportunity to audition. She had also thought that Chi Jingyuan would get the opportunity from the company.
There are several rookies girls to choose from.
After carefully looking at the child in front of her, and making a new estimate in her mind, Li Meizhu smiled and said the reason: "The company's record department sent a message asking you to audition the day after tomorrow..."
After saying that, looking at Yoo Jimin's puzzled face, as if she hadn't reacted yet, Li Meizhu was so happy that she reminded her: "It's Yuan's audition for the MV actress..."
"Ah?" Liu Zhimin was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help shouting in surprise... She didn't expect that Director Li called her out because of this matter.
Although she wanted to get this opportunity before and was quite confident in herself...but after all, the competition was very strong and she felt that the probability of success was low. After the audition was postponed, she felt that there was no hope, so she didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, I heard the news suddenly. The indifference that seemed to be indifferent before disappeared in an instant, and I suddenly became excited and apprehensive.
...It doesn't matter if you say it, but in fact, which female trainee doesn't want to cooperate with the most popular idol nowadays? Not to mention the exposure and topics, as well as the qualifications to debut in the future, this experience alone is something worth bragging about for a long time.
"hehe……"
Seeing the girl in front of her with such an expression, Li Meizhu nodded. This is right, this is a normal reaction... That was Chi Jingyuan's MV.
"The location of the audition is in the company's new building. I'll take you there with me after lunch the day after tomorrow. You can wear whatever clothes you want, and you don't have to worry about makeup. As long as the people arrive, there will be clothes prepared there, and there are also professional staff.
Cody’s makeup will be done for you.”
After specifically talking about the things that need to be paid attention to, after thinking about it at the end, Li Meizhu gave a special warning: "But it's best not to eat lunch. If you go on camera right after eating, you will look fat."
Then I won’t have breakfast...
Liu Zhimin immediately made a decision in his heart.
After hearing what Li Meizhu said, there seemed to be no explanation. Liu Zhimin felt nervous. After hesitating for a while, he still spoke nervously and asked tentatively: "Director Nim, what are you going to audition for? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
"
"Actually, don't be too nervous..." She could see the excitement and nervousness in the child at a glance. Li Meizhu secretly laughed in her heart. After thinking about it, she still said some words of relief:
"She is just an actress in the MV. I asked Representative Choi over there and she was told that she is the heroine. However, in fact, in the planned shooting setting, her appearance time was not much, only about ten seconds. Mainly because this is
Yuan’s solo song MV is definitely naturally extremely popular and topical.”
"I've also asked about the audition. There are no requirements for acting or singing skills. It doesn't matter. The main thing is to look at the appearance, temperament and figure. It's enough to meet the requirements and be more attractive... You don't need to prepare anything specifically for this.
You can’t do anything to make a face temporarily, right?”
It was a joke, and Li Meizhu was heartbroken when she saw Liu Zhimin's somewhat embarrassed apology, "As for the things to pay attention to...be polite, and pay attention to others, there's nothing else."
As she said that, she thought of something and looked at Liu Zhimin who emphasized: "If you must pay attention, remember to observe Yuan's expression and eyes... Don't look at the director's representative sitting next to you. This audition and all
Everything is his final say. As long as he says you can do it, if he is not satisfied, it will be useless if everyone else is satisfied.”
"ah……"
Hearing this, Liu Zhimin couldn't help but exclaimed a little.
Although I had already heard that the senior's treatment and privileges in the company were extremely exaggerated, after being a trainee for several months, I had already seen the strict superior-subordinate relationship at SM and the strong official-oriented mentality within the company. I really didn't expect that Chi
Jingyuan, an idol, can actually break out of this frame and turn all other company employees into foils.
This is also...
"Okay, that's it. Just wait for me in the practice room at noon the day after tomorrow. I will come over and find you."
After the matter was almost explained, Li Meizhu patted her shoulder and started to walk back. Finally, she gave Liu Zhimin a cheer: "I heard from Director Cui over there that one of the two MV heroines will definitely stay this time."
It’s for the kids in the company. There are only four people in the company participating in the audition this time including you. The other two kids have been practicing for several years. Only you have just joined the company. Jimin, your chances are pretty good.
Big."
"Thank you, room manager nim..."
Faced with the encouragement from her boss, Liu Zhimin quickly saluted and thanked her. After saying a few words at the end, she left and returned to the practice room.
At this time, a song in the practice room had finished dancing. When they saw her coming back, all the other girls looked over curiously, and several close friends came over to ask what happened.
However, Liu Zhimin just smiled and played it off without saying it directly...
Although she was really excited about getting the audition opportunity, she would get nothing except jealousy and envy from others if she told her... She had already gained some experience after suffering several losses after joining the company.
And it's just an audition. Now that I've said it, I don't know how I'll be ridiculed and made sarcastic remarks when I come back after I'm unsuccessful... If I want to show off, I have to wait until I'm really successful.
After dealing with other girls who asked, Liu Zhimin sat in the corner of the practice room, looking at the wooden floor in front of him in a daze, and suddenly a strong expectation arose in his heart.
I don’t know what the most popular and powerful male idol today, who has been so popularly praised by fans with various titles such as Three Men, One History Man, and One Visual Miracle, looks like in reality...
Could it be another Kai...
………………
""Nowadays, the most popular artist, everyone is talking about Chi Jingyuan - has topped the list of TV performer topics for four consecutive weeks"
In the nanny car heading to the crew, Chi Jingyuan was sitting in the back seat and was reading the news. At a glance, he saw the hot search about "Ghost" hanging very conspicuously on the list.
"Gooddata, a topical analysis agency of Peninsula TV, announced that 371 actors in 34 TV series currently being screened or will be screened soon, and 180 non-TV dramas starring actors, or 1,917 (names) topics in the air.
, the topic ranking is observed through the clicks of online news, blogs, social platforms, and videos.”
"As a result, in the TV drama department, Chi Jingyuan, the male protagonist of the now popular "Goblin", has been ranked first in topicality for four consecutive weeks. His popularity and topicality are in the lead, and from second to fifth place respectively
"Goblin's" starring actors Bae Suzy, Lee Dong-wook, Yoo In-na, and Yook Sungjae all took the top five. This shocking scene also perfectly demonstrates the super popularity of the hit drama "Goblin.""
"It is reported that not only the mainland of the peninsula, but also the entire Southeast Asia region including Neon, the mainland, Hong Kong Island, etc. are all caught up in the "Ghost" craze..."
""Goblin" is really popular..."
Seeing the fault data that he was far ahead of, Chi Jingyuan looked at his phone with some complacency and said with some reserve.
"Of course, Jingyuan, your show is already completely phenomenal."
Park Jae-hyun, the co-pilot, understood the elegance of the song and immediately continued: "Now this drama, as well as Kyung-won's personal popularity, topic traffic, and other data have surpassed "The Sun", which was also a hit drama at the beginning of the year.
"The Descendants", the market price of your local personal advertising endorsements and various invitations has doubled in this month, almost surpassing that of Kim Soo Hyun in 14 years, and this is despite the restrictions on the mainland market."
"By the way, speaking of this, I was just looking for an opportunity to tell you."
As he spoke, Park Jae Hyun thought of something and turned to look over: "Recently, SM's responsible department has been overwhelmed with invitations to various endorsements and activities for you. They have selected the best among them and the ones that fit your profile.
Next, there are a few more important invitations that you need to make your own decision on. The information has been sent to me. You can take a look at it when."
"Well... tomorrow." Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment and said, it was already too late today and he had other things to do before going to the set.
"OK."
"Are there many?" Park Jae-hyun said, feeling a little excited. After a pause, Chi Jingyuan asked again.
"A lot...and very expensive."
"Hmm~" Chi Jingyuan blinked, leaned back, changed his posture, and crossed his legs.
Being next to Kim Jong-in made him feel a little depressed... He still needs to hear more news like this to feel better.
…………
"Ah ah ah, Oppa is here. Oppa is here!"
The car arrived at the filming location, but before it even drove in, a penetrating scream came into the car through the window. Chi Jingyuan looked out through the glass film, and there were people standing on both sides of the door of the crew.
All kinds of fans, including dozens or hundreds of drama fans, squatted here and became excited immediately after seeing his nanny car.
In addition to the external filming locations, "Goblin" has several fixed shooting locations. Fans have often stayed in these places since the premiere of "Goblin", and Chi Jingyuan has become accustomed to it.
However, as the temperature gets colder and colder, the number of people squatting not only does not decrease, but more and more... most of them come for Chi Jingyuan himself.
Through the window, Chi Jingyuan watched them wearing coats and hats, but they were still stomping their feet and rubbing their hands in place due to the low temperature.
I also saw that these fans became excited and excited instantly after seeing his car. Their expressions and smiles seemed as if the low temperature around them and the previous difficulties did not exist. After that, my heart warmed up, and I felt a sense of gratitude and shame.
Well up in my heart.
"Stop and drive slower."
Chi Jingyuan said something to Cui Zhichang who was driving. After the car suddenly slowed down, he opened the window, clasped his hands to the fans on both sides, and shouted loudly: "Thank you very much. Please go back early. It's really cold outside."
.”
It was not easy to get out of the car directly on this occasion, as it would probably cause a commotion... But now that they had met, Chi Jingyuan didn't want these fans who had been frozen for so long to leave empty-handed just because they wanted to see him.
"Ahhhh."
"Yuan!! Jin Qian!!" As soon as he appeared, many girls next to him became uncontrollably excited and screamed all around.
However, although these fans were excited after seeing Chi Jingyuan, they were unexpectedly very strict in star chasing etiquette. They did not rush to the car in a hurry. Instead, they restrained themselves and stood a few meters away from the car.
On the roadside, he looked greedily at Chi Jingyuan in the window, and at the same time kept telling his love loudly:
"Oppa, I love you!"
"Kang Sang Mida." Faced with the fans' politeness and enthusiasm, Chi Jingyuan replied gratefully.
"Jing Yuanxi, does "Goblin" only have 16 episodes? Can it be extended? I love this drama so much."
"Thank you for your love, but I can't make the decision, but I will convey your suggestions to PD Li and Writer Jin."
"Jingyuanxi, please marry Dongxuxi, we support you!"
"But the laws of the peninsula do not allow this kind of behavior...and Dong Wook's CP in the drama is senior Yoo In Na..."
"Oppa, Jin Qian must be with Chi Enzhuo."
"Please continue reading."
"Oppa, you are with Ji Eun-joo in the drama, but can you be with Suzy and Unnie in real life too!!"
"Forehead……"
"...Thank you for your love. Please go home early! Pay attention to your body and make sure you don't catch a cold."
Some questions were really hard to answer, so Chi Jingyuan pretended to be stupid and ignored them. After interacting with the fans for a while, he took the initiative to say goodbye, and the nanny car drove in with the other party's reluctant wave.
"It's so popular." Park Jae-hyun, who had been pretending to be cool just now, turned around and raised an eyebrow after entering the set.
"I'm very happy... but to be honest, it's also a little burdensome."
Chi Jingyuan took a breath, and the heat in his heart still lingered in it, but these fans still stayed here just to squat beside him in such a cold day. This behavior really made him a little confused about what to say.
Then he looked at the familiar scenery and roads outside the window and said casually: "How many more rescue vehicles are there? This is a portrait given by...Song Ji Hyo?"
"Well, it was just delivered today. Ji Hyo xi and Dong Wook xi are very close relatives, and they specially support him."
"In this way..." Chi Jingyuan nodded clearly. This was the first time he knew about this relationship.
The leading actors have very good connections. Since "Goblin" started airing and became more and more popular, the crew's support trucks have never stopped. They park in a row every day. If you look carefully, they are all sent by well-known artists in the industry.
of.
The support vehicle that Yoona sunbaenim gave him just left a few days ago.
"Coming~"
"...Jingyuan, the progress in the past few days at the end of the year has been delayed a lot. This time, please stay with the crew for a few more days and seize the time to finish filming the last few episodes..."
After getting off the car, Chi Jingyuan walked straight into the set. After greeting the staff, he found Li Yingfu who was looking at the monitoring equipment.
When Li Yingfu saw Chi Jingyuan, he pulled him to sit next to him. After a few words of greeting, he started to dig deep into his heart.
"Don't worry, brother, except for my schedule the day after tomorrow in the afternoon, I will always stay on the set during this period." Facing the director's complaint, Chi Jingyuan could only laugh sheepishly, patting his chest and saying yes.
.
"Goblin" started filming long in advance, and nearly six episodes were saved when it started broadcasting. At the same time, the shooting efficiency was very high after the broadcast... This is also the confidence and reason why Chi Jingyuan can fulfill his idol duties at the end of the year.
.
However, due to the various activities of the leading actors, including him, the filming progress slowed down a lot, and there were only two episodes left of the previous six episodes.
However, the tenth episode was aired on the 31st last year, and now there are only six episodes left in the entire drama that have not yet been aired. With the remaining inventory, the filming of this drama has actually come to an end, and it should be enough to shoot in another week or two.
Finished
"That's okay..." Li Yingfu nodded with satisfaction. After saying a few more words, he remembered something and reminded: "By the way, the ratings agreement we made last time has been reached. You can find some time to record it...
…I’ve already made an agreement with the others, how about tomorrow?”
"Okay, no problem."
Chi Jingyuan immediately agreed... He has been paying attention to the ratings of "Goblin", and the target was quickly reached after the ratings agreement for "TT" last year was issued.
"Speaking of it, the effect is really good. It was achieved in the second episode after the convention was released. It seems that many people want to see you do that girl group dance, tsk tsk..."
"Haha, just joining in the fun."
Chi Jingyuan also smiled helplessly, and after chatting with Li Yingfu for a while, he left and prepared to shoot. After changing his clothes, he sat on a stool next to him and waited for his part.
Bae Suzy did not come today. In addition to the surge in endorsements and activities, this woman has been busy with her solo album recently, and she has been absent for a lot of time.
So let’s not talk about the eldest brother but the second brother...
I don't know if there was a connection between them, but when Chi Jingyuan was sitting there and just thinking about this woman, his phone suddenly vibrated, and Pei Xiuzhi sent a text message.
"Which one do you think looks better?"
The simple text was followed by two selfies. In the photo, she was standing in front of the mirror holding a mobile phone to cover her face. One photo was of a white short-sleeved outfit paired with jeans, and the other was a pink sweater paired with black tights, with curly hair shawl.
She has a slim figure, and the background is in JYP’s practice room.
Chi Jingyuan looked at the two photos and replied in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to shoot a practice room version of the main song and dance to show fans. Which set do you think is more suitable?"
"I'm not your fan."
"It's not just for fans...it's also for you~ (love)"
Oh.
Chi Jingyuan sneered, but his eyes were still on the two photos.
The clothes are all plain with no patterns, and the pants are tight... Not to mention, Bae Suzy's temperament and figure are really suitable for this kind of outfit.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Chi Jingyuan typed a reply: "The one with the pink sweater."
"Pink? I actually prefer the white one, but after you said so, I decided on pink... It's for you, Oppa Jingyuan~"
"Would you like to wear it?" Chi Jingyuan was not fooled by her at all... If he had chosen white, this woman would 100% say that she liked the pink one.
"Tch~ You should be angry if I really don't wear any clothes... By the way, I will go to the set tomorrow. Do you want to have a drink together after the filming in the evening?"
Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised when he saw her sudden invitation. Since the release of "Ghost", their careers have been rising steadily, and they are both too busy. It has been a while since they had such a private date.
He sent it over with a little doubt: "Why do you suddenly want to drink?"
A few seconds later, the text message came back:
"Aren't you in a bad mood these days? It should be better if you have a beautiful woman to drink with you for a few drinks... If it doesn't work, I can let you touch me a few more times."
