Director Kim's voice kept echoing in his ears, but as the door opened and the bus slowly drove in, Liu Zhimin and others had no intention of asking him anything anymore. Maybe Director Kim himself was also preoccupied.
He looked at the surrounding scenery in surprise.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see the emerald green landscaping on both sides. The endless green grassland makes people feel relaxed and happy. The smooth and neat building looks like the most high-end golf course, dotted with several art-like stone carvings in the middle, like an exquisite painting.
The picture scroll is spread out in front of you.
Looking into the distance, a huge villa appears in front of you, with a dark red slope roof, horseshoe windows, arched doorways and colorful mosaic tiles. When you take a bird's eye view from a distance, you can feel that in addition to luxury and spaciousness,
Outside, the appearance is full of fashionable design.
After walking in, I found that the exterior walls are made of high-end stone and exquisite carving techniques. Each stone has been carefully selected and polished, exuding a warm and solemn atmosphere. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows are inlaid on the wall, and the bright sunlight still shines on it.
Walking through it, the entire first floor hall looks like a transparent gem.
The most attractive thing is the large swimming pool on the side of the building. The frameless design on one side makes people feel happy. The indigo water surface floats gently and you can see the delicate white tiles at the bottom and the sparkling water surface at a glance.
It reflects the sunlight and echoes the distant sea.
The decorations in every place are dazzling and shocking, and everything you see contains a full flavor of money that makes people timid and admired.
The two female trainees next to me were stunned. This kind of thing can only be seen in Peninsula TV series... Even many TV series with insufficient budgets can't find such a suitable and luxurious villa for filming, so it just appeared around them.
The two people looked at each other and suddenly turned their heads to look at the person sitting in front of the bus.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan was talking to his agent, with no intention of looking out the window... His expression was natural, as if he had been used to it for a long time.
Originally, for these two female trainees who had not yet debuted, Chi Jingyuan, the male idol, was already the most outstanding senior that they had come into contact with and even heard of in the industry. Various revelations and news showed that he
His popularity and his ability to attract money have already been well known. He has basically reached the top of the idol industry. No matter how excellent the vocabulary is, it seems that it is not too much to say about him.
But even though I have a high regard for Chi Jingyuan, it is still difficult to associate the huge building in front of me that exudes the charm of wealth with him... This is something that has transcended the profession of Peninsula idol, and even ordinary people.
The limit of what an identity can achieve.
Looking at this huge building that only exists in TV dramas and news, I just feel a sense of shock like a dimensionality reduction blow from the upper class.
…and an indescribable subtle and uncontrollable adoration.
"This is Yu...this is Jingyuanxi's home?"
Li Zhenai was also stunned. After looking around blankly, she suddenly confirmed in a low voice with Director Jin.
"Inside."
Chief Jin looked away, suppressed the shock in his eyes, and nodded.
Although it was his first time here, and although he was very surprised, he couldn't help but puff up his chest when he saw that this female agent from a small company looked like she had never seen the world because of Chi Jingyuan's home.
, there is a refreshing feeling of being proud.
Some of the people on the bus knew about it and were here for the first time, and some had been here several times, so some were surprised, some were calm, and suddenly it became lively.
Soon the car stopped in the parking lot. Everyone got out of the car and walked towards the main entrance of the villa under the leadership of Chi Jingyuan and the waiting housekeeper and servant.
"Hmm... Why does this villa look familiar to me..."
Standing in front of the main entrance, Li Zhenai looked left and right. She seemed to remember something and suddenly frowned. After looking for a long time, she said with some uncertainty: "This seems to be Jin Tan from "The Heirs".
That villa."
She is a serious fan of "The Heirs". At that time, she was deeply amazed by the luxury of Jin Tan's villa. She watched the episode several times, so some of the overlooking scenes and external scenes of the villa were very interesting.
Impression, when I saw the appearance and layout, I felt a little familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly remembered the drama I liked before.
Hearing what she said, Liu Zhimin and Jin Minzhou also rounded their eyes and looked at Chief Kim next to them.
"Well, I heard that when "The Heirs" was filming in LA, Jin Tan's villa was shot here."
Director Jin nodded, then looked at the children and managers who looked like they had never seen the world with a smile, and said hehe, "But who can say that Jing Yuanxi is not as good as Jin Tan?"
"..."
After hearing this, several people were silent for a moment, looked up at the door, and couldn't help but look at Chi Jingyuan, who was standing on the steps at the door, laughing and talking to the MV director.
Obviously, these MV directors and assistant directors who were in charge of the shooting were also extremely surprised and surprised by this place, and their looks at Chi Jingyuan immediately became unusual. However, these old Jianghu are not like some female trainees.
Even though he was still young, he chatted with Chi Jingyuan with a familiar look on his face, including his own surprise and a touch of flattery in his jokes.
"There are so many people. The room has been tidied up, right?"
After smiling and chatting with a few people for a while, Chi Jingyuan turned around and said to the villa housekeeper in English:
"I'll take them to confirm their room first, put their luggage away, and then take a brief tour to see where the bathroom and other places are."
"Just prepare today's dinner as I told you before...I'll ask Brother Jaehyun to give you a recipe for the next few days' meals..."
"Okay, everything is ready."
The butler of the private villa nodded immediately after hearing this, then looked at the nervous and expectant staff behind him, showed a friendly smile, and switched to fluent Korean: "Please follow me..."
After seeing Chi Jingyuan nodding, all the staff picked up their luggage and followed the housekeeper into the villa. Liu Zhimin and Jin Minzhou were also among them. Even though they tried their best to maintain calm, their faces
The curious and excited look on his face could not be shaken off.
After Chi Jingyuan exchanged a few words with Park Jae-hyun, he slowly followed behind them.
For SM employees, Chi Jingyuan’s extraordinary background is no longer a secret. In fact, many people know about this villa in LA.
After EXO went through that experience, they almost stayed at his house whenever they came to LA for events, and even their managers and assistants would live here with them. When they went back, they were talking and bragging about it, and many people within SM had already
I heard and got it.
However, after hearing about it, coming here in person is a completely different feeling. The most profound feeling is the smell of money up close.
Chi Jingyuan knows that wealth is an extremely dazzling power, especially in the peninsula, which has a lot of money worship habits. It will automatically put a bright filter on the body.
This is a filter that is stronger than many fans’ unconditional admiration for idols.
He could see the shock and even envy in the eyes of some of the company employees who had just arrived for the first time, especially the two female trainees who were fifteen or sixteen years old. He didn't know how many times they had secretly glanced at him from just now until now.
Already.
However... it's good to have a filter and a halo, and sometimes things will become more convenient and harmonious when you get along with them, whether it's with people in the company, these trainees, or other people.
This time, Chi Jingyuan has decided after discussing with the company that part of the solo variety show will be filmed directly in this villa. Taking advantage of the opportunity of this solo variety show, he will appropriately put his
Let’s reveal a little bit about some family circumstances.
Of course I won’t say the specifics, it’s just a vague representation. For example, this villa is just right. The price of tens of millions of dollars is not extremely expensive, but it is enough for the peninsula to look up to... It can make him rich and royal.
The characters are more real and complete.
Many people in the industry, including idols or practitioners, and even many fans who have been fans for a long time, have actually heard of his rich second-generation background, but some specific details have been well hidden after so many years since his debut.
So to what extent it is, many people are still confused.
Not to mention other people who are not familiar with Chi Jingyuan, even some of his close friends, except Zhou Ziyu who has been to his house, such as Jiang Seulqi, Bae Zhuhyun, and even his current girlfriend Mingjing Nan.
Not very clear either.
It's hard for him to talk about this kind of thing himself... But if they watch this personal variety show, they might know a little more about Chi Jingyuan, a relative or boyfriend.
Friends are just one aspect, fans are more important.
As people like Chi Jingyuan and Jin Junmyeon talked about before, and the company's marketing department also did a lot of investigations, they have found that with the development of time, the suffering and ordinary hard work character that was popular at the time of the second-generation group is no longer
Very popular.
Under the influence of the social atmosphere, the hatred of rich people in the hearts of ordinary citizens seems to be less intense than before, or it is still intense, but besides this, it is more of a kind of admiration and envy.
Especially fans. Nowadays, fans hope that their idols have a good family background. They hope that their idols have a second-generation chaebol background. This will not only allow them to chase stars with more confidence, but also give them the upper hand in conflicts and make them more confident.
Have face.
Nowadays, when many fans argue online every day, even if they are making up, they have to go through all kinds of funny details, such as 'the bag my mother carries is very expensive', 'she often entertained guests when she was a trainee', and 'her money is not ordinary'
Kim is from the Gyeongju Kim family, there are only XX people in the entire peninsula, and they are all descendants of the royal family, etc., so I made up a rich and powerful background for my idol.
After being edited and passed around, the backgrounds of some idols became mysterious. Of course, they would not come out to clarify or refute them after they found out. Instead, they accepted this halo with some surprise.
After realizing this, SM and Chi Jingyuan discussed it and simply took advantage of this trend to make Chi Jingyuan a true royal person.
Although it may not increase his popularity too much, after all, the base is already too large, but it is foreseeable that many things will become much more convenient in the future.
Even in some areas where ordinary idols would be injured or even killed if violated, such as paddling, love, etc., the fans' tolerance level will unconsciously increase a lot.
...Of course, it could be even crazier.
Chi Jingyuan, who was following behind, was thinking. Liu Zhimin and Jin Minzhou, who were walking a few meters in front of him, were standing in the crowd, listening to the butler's introduction and looking at the interior decoration and layout of the villa.
Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, light-filled living and guest rooms, coveted terraces, and generous indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces.
A striking sculptural staircase leads to the second-floor living room and four en-suite guest bedrooms, flanked by rooms whose uses are announced by the butler: private bar, showroom closet, balcony, gym.
, sauna, gourmet kitchen, assistant kitchen, formal dining room... people are dazzled when they hear it, and they don't even know what some places are for.
Maybe it was because there were so many people that the arrangements were a little slow, but the two of them didn't feel bored. They kept looking around, biting each other's ears and talking quietly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Chi Jingyuan was a little anxious looking at the people in front of him. He took a few steps and looked at the two girls in front of him who were carrying packages and didn't know what to do. He took the initiative
: "If the front is slower..."
Looking at Liu Zhimin and Jin Minzhou's immediate gazes, Chi Jingyuan pointed to the row of room doors on the right and said: "There are guest rooms over there, all connected together. You can find the one you like."
"That……"
Compared with Jin Minzhou who was a little nervous and saluted immediately, Liu Zhimin seemed to be much more courageous. When he saw Chi Jingyuan walking in front of him, he didn't salute immediately. Instead, he stared at him twice before saluting.
present.
Then she looked in the direction Chi Jingyuan was pointing. After a quick look, she made no choice. Instead, she looked at the room on the left and asked tentatively: "Then... Oppa, can we stay there?
"
It seems like the lighting is better over there, and it's closer to the swimming pool.
However, following her gaze, Chi Jingyuan glanced to the left and shook his head: "Over there... forget it."
"ah?"
Upon hearing the rejection, Kim Min-joo immediately flinched and wanted to apologize, but Yoo Jimin boldly cast a questioning look.
"Although no one lives there now,... it used to be a maid's dormitory."
Chi Jingyuan looked at the two little girls aged sixteen or seventeen, pursed his lips in that direction, and said casually:
"If you live there... it's not a good idea to tell anyone, so let's forget it."
…………
The initial nervousness and anxiety soon turned into curiosity and excitement after the arrangements were made. For most people, there are few opportunities to stay in villas and rooms of this level. After this experience, I can
Let’s chat for a long time as a source of bragging and memories,
For dinner, both Korean and American recipes were thoughtfully prepared. However, there was no extra activity after the meal. Because of the jet lag, everyone returned to their rooms to rest and recharge their batteries to prepare for work early tomorrow morning.
.
But others didn't know it, but Liu Zhimin was lying on the soft bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, with all kinds of messy thoughts constantly popping up in his mind.
Recalling the series of experiences after landing from the plane today, it was like being in a dream...
It wasn't until early the next morning, when work officially started, that I finally settled down.
"Tie the ponytail a little higher...and then add some eye makeup."
In the dressing room, Chi Jingyuan stood in the back and stared at Liu Jimin who was being made up by CODY. After watching for a while, he couldn't help but frown slightly: "Why do you feel that your eyes are a little dull? Is it because you haven't rested?"
When Yoo Jimin heard this, her heart tightened, but Sister Cody next to her responded with a smile and explained: "It will be fine after putting on the contact lenses... Jiminxi still suits a slightly thicker eye makeup, even if it is a pure style
It's the same, but she can digest it very well."
"Um……"
Chi Jingyuan felt relieved after hearing this. He looked at each other through the mirror and Liu Zhimin, nodded slightly and continued to look behind.
As the title song of the solo album, the MV for "Love Scenario" is the most important of all songs. He participated in this MV from beginning to end. The same is true for the image of the heroine at this time. He needs to cody this girl.
Dressed up like what I imagined, I have been giving advice from just now until now.
The MV for this song has been finalized after many discussions.
The official song title is "love scenario", including the Chinese version of the song, which will also use this name, which is translated as "love scenario".
In addition to "love scenario", the Korean version of the song title also has a Korean literal translation of the song title "Once in Love", or "Love in the Past" for short, which comes from the first line of the song.
These two song titles actually represent the overall tone and content of the song. In addition to the majority of dance and cool scenes in the MV, the few plots are also set based on these.
Although the total screen time of the heroine played by Ryu Jimin is not long, and the setting is only about ten seconds after editing, the amount is very important.
Using 'love script' and 'movie footage' as the elements, and with the theme of scenes of memories emerging in front of the eyes in the form of movie playback, she will have three to four appearances. She will have different looks and wear different clothes.
There are some interactions with Chi Jingyuan in different shooting locations, including wall banging, jumping on his back, and a kissing scene.
These scenes that finally appeared in the MV were all fleeting, but these scenes of Ryu Jimin represent all the ex-girlfriends in various periods, symbolizing various sweet interactions during the love period.
In the second half, her figure gradually disappeared, leaving only a hint of Chi Jingyuan walking alone and free, which also echoes the meaning of the song title "Loved Before" and the theme of the entire song.
Although there is a plot, there are not many scenes, and the meaning is quite obscure. Although the song "Love Scenario" describes an ex-girlfriend and a breakup, it is a song that makes people fall in love.
Singing a tragic song in a relaxed and warm way.
Just like the style of this song, the overall atmosphere of the MV focuses on a relaxed and warm one. In addition to the young and street-style shooting locations and dances, Chi Jingyuan focuses on a handsome and sunny boyfriend in it, and as a
As the heroine, Ryu Jimin also strives to achieve the best visual effects.
It took several hours to put on the makeup, and it was finally done under the operation of SM's professional CODY. Chi Jingyuan looked at the completely different Liu Jimin in front of him, and felt satisfied when he admired it.
There is really a big difference between this girl wearing makeup and not. Although she is pure without makeup, she has a bit earthy smell, with a special youthful feeling of students. Especially her eyes really lack some sparkle, although they are not as dead as fish eyes.
, but not much better.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, after being carefully dressed up, the whole person has changed a lot, and the facial features are more three-dimensional. Not to mention these incidental things, it is mainly in line with the theme of youth.
There is a dazzling beauty about her whole body that makes people turn their attention... As judged before, she is very capable of digesting various makeup looks.
"But this dress..."
The makeup was ready, and Chi Kyung-won pondered again after seeing the clothes on Yoo Jimin who had just come out of the dressing room.
Others are good, low-waisted slim-fitting jeans paired with exposed-waist short sleeves, and a pure white jacket on top. It looks very pure and energetic. CODY picked an outfit that suits her very well and fits the theme.
It's just that... there is a little problem with the design of this waist-baring short-sleeved shirt. The lower hem is not an ordinary loose style, but a specially made elastic band gathered style. The tightened hem not only deliberately reveals the slender waist, but also makes it look special.
to highlight the curves of the chest.
In short, this dress shows off both the waist and the breasts, making it particularly flattering on the figure.
And Liu Zhimin... Chi Jingyuan's eyes wandered around her upper body twice, and he couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue in his heart.
This girl's figure is unexpectedly good, and after wearing this outfit, she is also unexpectedly... eye-catching.
Feeling Chi Jingyuan's gaze, Liu Zhimin suddenly felt a little nervous, and he puffed up his chest again like a conditioned reflex.
"Forget it, that's it."
Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and nodded in agreement with the outfit without asking her to change clothes.
Feminine characteristics are obviously an advantage. They can show their charm in the most straightforward and simple way. Some people want to show off their charm but they don’t have the capital to do so. It takes me who knows how long to attend a film festival.
"...This shot is very simple. After the shooting starts, Jingyuanxi is walking in front, Jiminxi, you are chasing after a few steps. After getting close, you speed up and trot, and then jump directly onto his back. He catches you and continues
Just move forward and the two of you laugh together... it's that simple."
Yoo Jimin has only been with SM for a few months and has not even taken a few acting classes, let alone a real MV shooting. Therefore, facing an inexperienced and nervous chick, the MV director taught Yoo in great detail
Jimin talked about the content of this shooting, and after finishing speaking, he personally demonstrated and gestured.
"Just...just jump on the back of senior...Oppa?"
After Liu Zhimin finished watching his demonstration, his eyes drifted to Chi Jingyuan next to him, and he gestured tentatively and asked.
"Yes, just jump right away. Someone reminded me before. Don't worry about Jingyuan Xi not being able to catch you." The director nodded immediately.
"That's not necessarily true. How much do you weigh?"
Chi Jingyuan also knew that this was the girl's first time filming, so he was very patient and even took the initiative to make a joke with a chuckle.
"Forty-three and a half kilograms." Liu Zhimin was not shy. He smiled and immediately reported his weight in a loud voice.
"That's no problem."
Chi Jingyuan made an OK gesture, and at the same time looked up and down Liu Zhimin's figure, and said casually: "She's quite thin."
However, he originally wanted to reduce the tension of Ryu Jimin's first filming, but after chatting for a few words, he suddenly felt strange.
Because he felt that this trainee didn't seem very nervous... but instead felt that she was quite looking forward to it...
"...Let's give it a try first."
For the sake of efficiency, the director asked the two of them to rehearse first.
Of course, Chi Jingyuan would not refuse. He took a few steps forward and stood there, showing his back.
Liu Zhimin, on the other hand, took a few steps back. After arriving at the predetermined place, he looked at the back not far ahead, and his heart suddenly felt warm.
Although she passed the audition, she has not had much communication with Chi Jingyuan in the past few days, and she has not spoken a few words since arriving in LA... It was only now that she felt a real sense of excitement.
He was originally the senior of the company, the ceiling of the industry, and his appearance and figure were all excellent. After coming to LA, he saw shocking conditions... After all these things were combined, he said that he was not interested and did not want to get close.
It's impossible.
Is it finally time to start filming?
While she was looking forward to it, she saw the gesture from the director next to her, took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and trotted towards Chi Jingyuan.
"Ding-deng-deng..."
He was not running very fast, and there was a crisp sound of footsteps on the ground as his sneakers stepped on the ground. When he heard the movement behind him, Chi Jingyuan immediately got ready. Although his movements did not change, he adjusted the stress point.
The next second, a gust of fragrant wind surged, and the 43.5 kilogram girl's body hung directly on his back. While Chi Jingyuan caught her, he moved forward like a car without stopping.
He staggered two steps and finally regained his balance.
After standing firm, from an invisible perspective, he felt the extremely clear impact, softness and shaking coming from behind. Even with some preparation, he was still completely unprepared. The corner of Chi Jingyuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
It wasn't because of the weight that he didn't stand firm.
