In the script practice room of the Ilsan Production Center of SBS TV station in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province, all the cast members of the "She's Lovely to Me" gathered together today. This was also the first time the crew held a script reading meeting.
Director Park Hyung-ki and writer Noh Ji-seol hadn't arrived yet. While waiting, everyone started chatting in low voices as they were familiar with each other. Crystal raised her head on one hand and looked out the window in silence.
Just now, Li Zhuying was called out by the director and didn't know what to discuss. A fat man who was probably a screenwriter's assistant was staring at her from time to time. This made Crystal feel very bored, so she turned her head and looked elsewhere.
"Krystal, how is Xiaojing? Is he still in the hospital? I've always wanted to see him but couldn't find the time. I'm really embarrassed." Zheng Zhixun, who was in a daze beside her, lowered his head to talk to her.
"Ani, Oppa was discharged from the hospital today. I originally wanted to accompany him, but unexpectedly I was called to a meeting at short notice." Crystal replied helplessly, forcing a smile.
"Haha... It's okay to be discharged from the hospital. Since we bumped into each other today, I will call Xiao Jing together after the meeting. How about I treat you two to a barbecue to welcome him." Zheng Zhixun naturally understood when he saw Jing Shuang's uneasy expression.
What happened, so he invited me and wanted to enhance our friendship.
"Thank you, Zhixun Oppa. I'll call him later." Crystal nodded and felt a little better. The long-lost smile finally began to appear on her pretty face again, because Zheng Zhixun only invited her and Zhou Jing.
But Shirley was not mentioned.
The two of them were communicating in a low voice. No one else knew what they were talking about, but Crystal, who had been cold all the time, suddenly smiled, making Jin Mingzhu sitting opposite him dumbfounded, not to mention that the wretched fat man's saliva was almost drooling.
.
At this time, Luo Hailing, who was sitting on the other side of the crystal, suddenly let out an exclamation, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Dafa, Oppa Zhou Jing actually accepted an exclusive interview with D agency. Wow, senior Sulli is also here."
"Hailing Ouni, what are you reading on your phone? Oppa Zhou Jing? He can't be that national hero, let me take a look too." Jin Daini leaned over and looked at the phone with Luo Hailing.
In fact, there is another person between Luo Hailing and Crystal, and this person is Jin Daini, the youngest sister in the crew.
Luo Hailing and Jin Daini didn't have many roles in the play, but they still came to participate in the script workshop. Jin Daini also grew up in the United States, so Crystal is quite close to her.
The most important thing is that Jin Daini’s English name is Danee. She is a member of the TaraN4 team. Because of Zhou Jing, Crystal pays special attention to Tara.
Now that she heard Zhou Jing's name from her mouth, Crystal's heart tightened and she immediately turned to look at them, only to find that actresses Cha Yelian and Li Chuxi had all come over from the other side of the conference table after hearing Luo Hailing's words.
Several people gathered together and chatted non-stop.
"Is it really Zhou Jingxi, jinjia? He accepted Sulli as his sister, is he a serious person?"
"Of course it's serious. I didn't see that Sulli's father-in-law is here. Look, there are photos of the recognition ceremony."
"This is President Kim. Oh, and Teacher Li Xiuman is also there. There must be no lie."
"Hey Yigu, Sulli and I are the same age, and I also want to be Oppa's sister."
"Hailing Erni, you probably want to be your love sister, haha..."
"Ah, Danee, why are your thoughts so complicated at such a young age?"
"Hai Ling, stop pretending, everyone knows what you want to do by the look on your face, but Zhou Jingxi was born in 1982 and seems to be a better match for Ye Lian and Ernie."
"Chu Xi, if you think so, don't drag me along. Wait, that's Krystal in this photo. Yes, Sulli is her teammate, so she must know Zhou Jingxi."
As soon as Cha Yelian finished speaking, the actresses suddenly fell silent. Then they remembered that someone related to Sulli was sitting next to them, so they all turned their attention to Crystal.
However, Crystal didn't pay attention to them at all at this moment. She was concentrating on watching this special interview from D Agency on her mobile phone.
On the screen, Zhou Jing was talking to the camera. Although Shirley on the side did not speak, her face was filled with a happy smile. Logically speaking, Crystal should be happy to reveal their relationship as brother and sister, but for some reason, she felt
There was a hint of sadness.
Maybe it was the thought that Shirley would be able to be in the same frame with Zhou Jing openly in the future, but as her official girlfriend she still had to be secretive, which made Crystal feel very unhappy.
"Unnie, are you familiar with Oppa Zhou Jing? Can you take me to meet him next time?" Jin Dani looked like a little girl when she faced the crystal.
"Miane, I'm not familiar with him." Crystal refused without thinking.
Are you kidding me? When I take you to see him, why don't I take the N4 team with me? Wait, there is also Xian Eunjing in N4. Humph, don't even think about it.
Krystal's cold reaction made everyone stunned. They secretly wondered whether Krystal and Zhou Jing could not deal with each other. If that was the case, then they had just stepped on a minefield. The situation seemed a bit awkward for a while.
"Look, Oppa Zhou Kyung said that he met Sun Ye-jin through senior Kim Tae-hee. If he said that..." Luo Hailing exclaimed again, and at the same time turned his attention to Zheng Ji-hoon who was eating melon on the side. This move also triggered others
They all looked at Zheng Zhixun.
What? He accidentally ate the melon and got it on himself. Zheng Zhixun glanced at Crystal who was fuming and thought, just now Crystal said he wasn't familiar with it, so he had to follow suit and pretend he didn't know Zhou Jing?
"Ahem... um... Zhou Jing and I are close friends, and we have a pretty good relationship." After thinking about it, Zheng Zhixun generously admitted his relationship with Zhou Jing. After all, Zhou Jing might use his name to visit the class in the future.
Wouldn't it be self-contradictory to deny the future now?
Jung Ji-hoon's words immediately excited all the actresses. Fortunately, director Park Hyung-ki and writer Noh Ji-seol walked into the conference room at this time, and Jung Ji-hoon breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
In fact, this little episode just now has aroused unanimous dissatisfaction among the other male actors present, especially Kim Myung-soo, who was very disdainful towards Zhou Kyung.
Why should a foreigner who doesn't look very good and is also Agassi attract all these beautiful actresses? Fortunately, Krystal doesn't seem to be a nymphomaniac, otherwise he would feel extremely heartbroken.
The status of directors and writers in Korean film crews is very high, and actors, no matter how big they are, dare not act big in front of them. It was because Han Ye-seul lost his temper on the crew that she was left without a film for three years.
In fact, everyone in the so-called script seminar is just polite. Unlike in China, the status of screenwriters in Korea is very powerful. To select actors, you need the screenwriter’s nod. Anyone who is full and has nothing to do will find faults in the script.
The only bright spot was the fat assistant from China. He talked eloquently about acting, but his words only focused on Crystal.
It's a pity that Crystal was so distraught at this time that she didn't even listen to a single word, which blinded the fan assistant's enthusiasm.
And the most important thing is that Crystal noticed that Lee Joo Young's state was a little abnormal. After returning to the conference room after communicating with the director, Lee Joo Young looked completely worried. This was in sharp contrast to the triumphant look of Kim Myung Soo's manager beside him.
What's wrong? Is something wrong? Huge doubts arose in Crystal's heart. This was her first time playing the female lead in a TV series. She was a little nervous at first, but now Lee Joo Young's reaction made her feel even more uneasy.
The script seminar lasted for a long time, and by the time it was over, Zheng Zhixun hurriedly stood up and wanted to leave, because he had already sensed that the actresses were preparing to block him directly after the meeting.
Crystal was held back by Lee Joo-young. Just when Lee Joo-young wanted to say something to Crystal, director Park Hyung-ki suddenly spoke.
"Rainxi, Krystalxi, please stay. We will have a dinner later. Writer Lu will also attend. You are the leading actors, so you must not be absent. By the way, Kim Myungsooxi will also come with us."
After speaking, director Park Hyung-ki left with writer Noh Ji-seol. Zheng Ji-hoon spread his hands to several actresses and said that it was none of his business and that no one would dare to disobey the director's request.
The look between Li Zhuying's brows became even more solemn. He hurriedly pulled Jingshu aside and whispered softly in her ear.
"What? Are you trying to hype up the scandal between me and the second male lead? Juying and Oppa, are they serious?" Crystal looked at Li Juying in disbelief, her eyes showing an unusually cold gaze.
