The producer's strong confidence in Chi Jingyuan really made these reporters look at each other.
What does "even if this drama fails, the most suitable one is still Chi Jingyuan"?
The reporters below burst into disdain.
That is to say, this drama has not been aired yet. If it had been aired and it really failed, I wonder if you would say such a thing so brazenly.
Chi Jingyuan on the side pursed his lips after hearing this and kept smiling, but in his heart he felt that the producer, who usually didn't talk much, was really talkative and spared no effort for publicity.
"PD Li is right. When we had the meeting, his first reaction was Jingyuan."
Jin Yuanxi on the side took the microphone, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and nodded: "But actually I still had doubts in my heart at first... Later, Jingyuan and I met in private and had a meal together. After we came back, I
Tell PD Li..."
He looked at Li Zaiwen next to him, and the two smiled at each other: "I said he must play this role, it's just him."
"Is PDnim too exaggerated? Why haven't I heard of this section?" Before the reporter could react, Chi Jingyuan looked over and gave a bitter smile. He felt that he was being held up a bit too high by the two PDs.
.
I don’t know how Ren Siwan would feel when he saw this scene.
"Yeah, PD, don't be so biased. Is Jingyuan the only one that's so important? What about us?" Li Xingmin, who was standing next to him, made a dissatisfied appearance and booed: "How could I remember that you said the same thing when you chose me to play the role?
Really? So everyone is saying the same thing?"
"Hahaha..." Jin Yuanxi laughed, shook his hand and pointed at them without speaking.
The reporters below also laughed out loud, and the atmosphere in the venue became a little more lively.
After asking a few questions to the director and producer, and telling them some secrets about the preparation, the reporters turned their attention to Chi Jingyuan:
"Jingyuanxi, your "The Heirs" was a hit last year. Jin Tan's influence spread throughout Asia, but he didn't appear in a TV series for nearly a year after that. It is said that the industry has never stopped sending script invitations to you.
For what reason have you stopped filming?" A female reporter wearing glasses stood up and stared at Chi Jingyuan with burning eyes.
He has answered this question many times before. After a brief pause, he took the microphone and said naturally: "Because apart from being an actor, I mainly carry out activities as a member of EXO. The group's schedule started at the beginning of this year."
I’m very busy and don’t have much time, plus the company has its own overall plans and arrangements for my career.”
"Some time ago, I entered a gap period after finishing my busy work. I happened to see the script of "Misheng" when I was working with my company Guotong, and I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.
"You're saying that you accepted this drama because you like it, and SM Entertainment didn't choose it for you?" The female reporter accurately found the key points in her words.
"Nay, I like this drama very much, so I took the initiative to propose to the company to star in it." Chi Jingyuan nodded and confirmed.
"Will there be some pressure if you disagree with the company?"
"of course not……"
Shrugging his shoulders as if it were a matter of course, Chi Jingyuan blinked downwards: "On the contrary, this has greatly increased my confidence in this drama. You should understand..."
"Hahaha……"
SM's film and television department is really famous. It was not only reporters who heard this, but also several leading actors nearby couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"We looked at the cast list, and as the youngest one, you became the leading actor. Was it very challenging for you to shoot this movie?"
"Of course, for this group workplace drama, the crew paid great attention to acting skills when selecting actors. The other seniors who participated in the cast are all very experienced and capable actors, such as senior Lee Sung Min, Kang So Raxi, etc. I
At first I was a little rusty because I hadn’t filmed for a long time, but with their help I quickly got into the groove.”
"Then what do you think are the characteristics of the drama "Wei Sheng"?"
"Because it is a workplace drama that is very rare on Peninsula, we hope that "Misheng" can add some supplements to the categories of Peninsula dramas. And I have no experience working in a company before, so it is a kind of experience for me.
It’s a very novel experience that I’ve never had before.”
"Kangsangmita."
…………
The "Misborn" press conference lasted for more than an hour in total, and all the leading actors were asked a lot of questions. However, the focus and core of the promotion was still Chi Jingyuan himself who was most besieged by reporters.
Among the entire cast, he has the most popularity and attention, and one-third of the press conference was spent asking questions to him.
However, other people didn't have any objections. This situation had already been previewed during the internal meeting of the crew, and this was also the treatment that a leading actor should receive.
Today I talked about a lot of interesting things about casting and filming, but there was no really eye-catching big news at all. It was just a normal press conference from beginning to end. It’s unclear how much publicity effect it can have.
And know it.
To this day, thanks to tvN's special planning and the gimmicks such as Ji Kyung-won's starring role, the drama "Misheng" has been discussed a lot online since it was released, but it is just because of the nature of the workplace drama.
It does not have as wide an audience as an idol drama, and the original manga of "Misato" is actually not very popular, so the opinions of this drama have always been mixed.
But relatively speaking, most of them are good. Just the fans of EXO and Yuan can generate a lot of traffic. The biggest black point is that the type of this drama is an extremely rare workplace drama in the peninsula. In the film and television industry,
There has never been any precedent in history for a workplace drama to become a hit.
It seems that people in the Peninsula do not naturally like watching this type of TV series, which is also the biggest reason why many people watch "Misheng".
But no matter what their opinions are, people all recognize the acting skills of the leading actors.
Needless to say, there are experienced actors like Lee Sung-min. Kang So-ra is also a promising young actress because of her role in "Sunshine Sisters". Ji Kyung-won, who was born in idol, only took two dramas to become the actress.
In the minds of all the viewers, the previous habitual disdain for idol actors has changed, and they have established their own impression as the most representative and powerful actor of the younger generation.
In the past two years, every step he has taken as an actor can be said to be fast and steady. It only took him two dramas to achieve this effect, while it took Yoona sunbae five or six years to make several movies without impressing the audience.
Reversing the prejudice against her as an idol, she is still positioned as a flower vase when she takes on roles.
But to be honest, Chi Jingyuan took the time to watch a lot of Lin Yoona's TV series for various reasons. With her appearance, popularity and topicality, even if she is a vase, she should be a relatively high-end one, and her acting skills are also
It is slowly improving. But to this day, it is still unable to break away from the shackles of idols and has even become a ratings poison. Many reasons are because their company's vision for accepting dramas is really a bit unflattering.
What the hell is "Zongli and Me"? Even Ji Kyung-won, as Yunfan, can't stand it.
Rubbish SM, it really delayed my Yoona sunbaenim.
After today's press conference, tvN will officially start releasing various materials, including a total of nine versions of "Misei" promotional videos that have been filmed before. In the next few days, several small press conferences will be held to preview
It is hot, and there are also a series of supporting activities to promote it.
The investment of various resources shows that they really attach enough importance to this special project of "Misheng". If this drama fails, it will be a big loss for both the TV station and the leading actors such as Chi Jingyuan.
A big blow.
However, including the actors, the entire crew is quite confident.
After the press conference, Chi Jingyuan accepted several more private interviews and then returned to the set and continued filming until the evening. Today's work came to an end. After saying goodbye to everyone, he got into the nanny car and prepared to return to the dormitory.
Because "Wei Sheng" started filming early enough, all the scenes in the previous episodes have been filmed and edited, and Chi Jingyuan has already done the narration.
The workload in these two days has suddenly been reduced a lot, and the focus of the last week has been on publicity.
Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting in the nanny car, was watching the discussion on the Internet about the episode of "The TaeTiSeo" that was broadcast on the 7th.
Originally, the ratings of TTS, a TV show, were not very high. From the time it was launched until now, most of them are watched by their own fans.
Although the three of them are very open-minded and show a lot of interesting characters, generally speaking, they are the kind of fans who like them very much, but the discussion cannot be spread outside and they can only enclose their own cute fans to the variety show.
.
However, after the October 7th episode aired, it suddenly became one of the hot topics of online discussion in the past two days. What interested fans and passers-by the most was Ji Kyung-won, a close relative of Kim Taeyeon who came to participate in the show. There were many
Everyone was very surprised that these two people had such a good relationship.
Girls' Generation and EXO haven't had a lot of interactions. Except for the occasional meal shoot where you can see people from the two groups saying hello to each other and some polite reactions, there hasn't been much interaction. Moreover, Ji Kyung Won and Kim Taeyeon
They are also the type who are well-known among their respective fan groups as being too lazy to socialize and not easy to get close to others.
The close friends shown by these two people in this episode really surprised many fans, but at the same time they were actually quite happy.
"Wow, double ecstasy! As a fan who has always loved SNSD and EXO, I am so happy to see this episode! And coincidentally, my favorite of these two groups is Taeyeon and Yuan!! Taeyeon
Although the address was muted during the part where Yan was on the phone, I instantly recognized that it was Yuan's voice. Do you know how surprised I was when I saw it?"
"The two most popular top groups are close friends, and one look at their performance on the show shows that they are really close and not just acting. What kind of magical friendship is this?"
"Well, although... EXO shouldn't be considered a top group now, right? It was really close before, but now that Luhan has left the group and fans have left a lot, the upward momentum has slowed down. Whether it can reach the top is still unclear.
Let’s wait for the next comeback... Well, I don’t mean anything else, even though I am one, I also like Yuan very much..."
"Taeyeon is really a fairy treasure girl. She looks very nerdy and has a narrow social circle and doesn't like to socialize. However, if she has a relative who is an artist as important as Yuan, there should be no comparison among the younger generation whether as an idol or an actor.
Chi Jingyuan must be more successful... This damn charm, I really didn't like the wrong person!"
"The year that XO debuted was really sad. Ari would like to express her gratitude to Taeyeon and Unnie for taking care of Wuli Yuan and Oppa during that time."
"Sisters who have been with me for so many years have quit the group and can they still laugh so happily in variety shows? Can you give me a specific reply?"
"Kim Taeyeon from Xiba, it was she who took the lead in squeezing out our Sika, and now she is actively seducing Nianxia. It's really shameless to see her like that..."
"Has anyone noticed Yuan's ringtone? Why is Yuan's ringtone a song from a girl group called Parrot? Can such an ugly song be used as a mobile phone ringtone? It must have been arranged by SM to let them show their faces to promote it. It's really
When will the disgusting people be disbanded?"
Other aspects of this issue, including the guest appearances of Bora and Soyou as friends of Seohyun and Hwang Mi-young, did not attract much attention, but the exposure of the family relationship between Kim Taeyeon and Ji Kyung-won really attracted a lot of attention, except for fans.
Even passers-by can’t help but click in and take a look when they see this kind of news.
Girls' Generation's strong national popularity, Kim Taeyeon's image that is extremely popular among the people, plus Ji Kyung-won's extremely high popularity and topicality, as well as an equally good public image, combined together have created a very good
The effect is that the clicks and discussions of this episode of the variety show exceed the sum of the previous episodes combined.
At the same time, it also brought a lot of attention to TTS, which is in its comeback period.
TTS's comeback this time is not very successful. Although the title song "Holler" has won a total of four first places so far, the results of the music source are really average. Except for the song that was first released and was highly praised by fans, it did not exceed two
The sky started to fall all the way down.
However, sales are still SNSD's strong point. As of yesterday, more than 120,000 copies have been sold. The sales of one subunit have surpassed other first-line girl groups.
It feels like their sales and sound results are reversed, just like a boy band.
According to the G Chart, the sales of TTS's mini-album, which has become increasingly stable, have picked up significantly from the second day after the variety show was played on the 7th, and have been slowly increasing as the popularity spreads.
.
I don’t know how many of them, Aili, bought the TTS album because of Chi Jingyuan’s relationship, which was considered as a way to support their good relatives, Oppa.
This morning, Chi Jingyuan also received a text message from Kim Taeyeon. She was so embarrassed that she screenshot a few rainbow fart messages praising her on the Internet, as well as pictures of "fairy friendship" and sent them over.
Chi Jingyuan could even imagine the girl holding a pillow, covering her head and laughing wildly on her cell phone.
Then she sent a screenshot of her mobile phone's screen saver. Her screen saver had been replaced with the freeze-frame picture of her and Chi Jingyuan laughing and high-fiving each other in the variety show. Chi Jingyuan looked at it and laughed secretly in his heart, but also sighed a little.
This sister is obviously so old, but privately she feels that she is getting younger and younger as she lives.
This is good news for Kim Taeyeon, but there is some bad news for Red Velvet.
Yesterday, they performed the first stage of the comeback of "be nature" at "m!countdown". Afterwards, not only did the previous negative comments on the Internet not improve, some people even scolded them even more fiercely.
Yesterday, Chi Jingyuan took the time to watch the playback of their stage performance. He didn't think highly of this kind of cover song, but in this comeback, they also completely changed the 'parrot look' that they had been criticized for four-color hair tail dyeing.
, put on a flawless women's suit.
However, he felt that Pei Zhuhyun and the others could digest the chair choreography that was more sexy.
Especially Sun Shengwan, her impression in Chi Jingyuan's heart has always been that she is lively and bright, and has nothing to do with sexy or anything like that.
On the stage this time, she was licking her big round face, hooking her hands and raising her eyebrows. She was sitting on a chair and swinging her short legs around. She was not very sexy and sultry, but made Chi
Jingyuan felt awkward and funny for a while, fearing that while she was doing wink, she would suddenly twist her face and raise her eyebrows to give him an exaggerated emoticon. This was what Sun Shengwan was best at in private.
No, Red Velvet's situation is so bad these days, why does he think Sun Shengwan has gained a lot of weight when he sees her?
I don’t know how many times she and Jiang Seulgi sneaked to convenience stores.
After that, I read the comments above. Chi Jingyuan scrolled through the comments for a while and found that no one discussed how the singing was or how the dancing was. Basically, they were all here to vent their anger and all kinds of things.
Among the other fans who took out the trash, the majority of them were angry Sone fans, function fans and Ariel fans.
To be honest, Aili still hates red velvet so much. Chi Jingyuan himself can’t figure it out.
Luhan has been gone for such a long time. The "resource theory" that caused a wave of attacks at that time was actually just a matter of time and again involving red velvet. Obviously there is not much relationship between the two and there are no more conflicts. Ariel
Even now, he is still attacking Ledbeibei, leaving Chi Jingyuan not knowing what to say.
It can only be said that it is probably a habitual dislike after the transfer of hatred.
Although it's only the first day of his comeback and the music source hasn't been released yet, looking at the current trend online, it's still not quite right.
However, the specific details will depend on the official release of the sound source on the 13th.
Just returned to the dormitory, when Chi Jingyuan was changing shoes at the door, he noticed that there were several large bags in the living room. Park Chanyeol and Wu Sehun were flipping in front of the bags. Several other members were also gathered in the living room, wondering what they were doing around here.
"came back."
"Yeah." The members greeted each other after seeing Chi Jingyuan. He put on his shoes and walked in and glanced curiously: "What's wrong with everyone gathering here?"
"Tao's dad is here." Jin Junmian pursed his lips at the closed door of the room next to him. At the same time, he pointed at several large bags on the coffee table, indicating that these were gifts from Tao's dad.
"Oh, you really should come and have a look." Chi Jingyuan nodded clearly. Tao has been resting in the dormitory since he was injured on the 5th and was found to have a fractured bone since he returned to the peninsula due to limited mobility.
I heard that he was an only child, so it was natural for his parents to come over to see what was going on when they found out that he was seriously injured this time.
When he walked into the crowd, Chi Jingyuan also joined in the fun and flipped through the gifts sent by his father. He flipped through them casually and found that the packaging was very beautiful. He knew at a glance that they were not cheap goods.
They have seen too many parents of members come to visit their children and give gifts to other people. It has never happened since before their debut. That is to say, there has never been anyone in Chi Jingyuan's house. The parents and relatives of other members have basically been there.
I’ve seen them all.
After looking at it, Chi Jingyuan went to the bathroom to wash up and prepare to go back to the room to rest early.
"I told you a long time ago..."
"I said it's okay..."
"%......&Lie here?"
Just as he was passing through the living room and about to return to his room, he heard the conversation coming from Tao's room. Although they were using Xia Wen, they were speaking in a dialect with a heavy accent. Chi Jingyuan could only guess.
I could understand only a small part of the conversation, but the tone of the conversation was obviously not friendly, and there was a sense of conflict between them, as if they were quarreling over something.
However, he was not interested in eavesdropping on the conversation, so he walked directly into his room without stopping.
In the following days, while Red Velvet continued to perform various ineffective songs, Chi Jingyuan and the entire "Misborn" crew did not stop promoting.
The crew also specially registered several Instagram accounts named after the prototypes of the characters in the play, such as "Misborn", Zhang Keli, Ahn Young-yi, Oh Sang-sik, etc., and posted various pictures and materials on them every day, attracting many people to watch.
.
As the leading actor Chi Jingyuan, of course he also played a role. He has not been on Instagram for a long time and he has also been very hardworking in the past two days. He took a lot of selfies and stills and uploaded them. Among them, the title
Next to a selfie of a workplace suit with a slap in the face, there was a caption saying, 'October 17th, "Unborn", I'm finally going to work."
Chi Jingyuan's fans on Instagram are very active, even if he doesn't often post photos. A group of Yuan fans can discuss among themselves in the comment area below the photos he posted many days ago.
And this time, the most liked fan message below is: "You finally remembered that you have Instagram, can you learn from your teammates and work harder? (Angry)"
As a Yuan fan, I feel really resentful about this.
It is worth mentioning that the number of Chi Jingyuan's Instagram fans has begun to move towards 7 million in the past few days. At this rate, it is estimated that his number of fans will probably exceed 10 million by next year. Who can reach this number?
Nowadays, people are rare in the entire Kpop world, and there are simply not many people who can do it.
This has also made several other teammates very jealous, especially Wu Shixun's careful management of ins. However, the growth rate is far less than that of Chi Jingyuan, who spends his days herding sheep and fishing. The number of followers now is only more than 200 and less than 3 million.
, causing him to always say some sarcastic words in a weird way recently.
Then he was attacked back by Chi Jingyuan's eyes and words.
Fast forward to October 17th. Last week, the final episode of tvN’s drama, “The Boys” starring Kim Young Kwang and Yook Sungjae, ended miserably with a ratings of 0.685%, an overall average of less than 1%.
He staggeredly passed the baton to "Misheng" and then disappeared without a trace.
Since the filming started, this film has been labeled as 'tvN 8th Anniversary Special Project', 'Ji Kyung-won's "The Successor's New Drama", 'Professional Workplace Drama', etc. Many people are either looking forward to it or watching it with disdain.
The TV series finally appeared in front of everyone.
