Chapter 695 Just Say Something Nice

"Why are you standing up all the time..."

A slender figure walked up to him, pulled out a stool and sat down directly.

She took off the small bag she was carrying and put it on her lap, glanced at Chi Jingyuan who was also sitting down, and said with a kind tone and elegant movements, "Are you always so polite when drinking coffee with Taeyeon? "

"That's not true." Chi Jingyuan shook his head with a smile: "If I have coffee with Taeyeon... I usually arrive late."

The person who asked him to meet at this coffee shop was Lin Yoon-ah, a senior whom he had not seen for a long time.

Lin Yoona also returned from Xia Kingdom with her manager in the past two days.

If you don't count Ji Kyung Won or EXO, Lin Yoona is one of the artists who has had the greatest impact on SM artists due to this sudden incident. She has been participating in activities with Xia Guo since last year, filming TV series, and He also worked hard to learn fluent Chinese, making it clear that he wanted to shift the focus of his activities to the mainland of Xia.

The effect of the event was also very good. Although "Martial God Zhao Zilong" did not have a good reputation, it was still very popular. Soon after, she was offered the position of the heroine of a large-scale fantasy fairy tale drama. It was not a problem... Once she was allowed to stand firm. Heel, the huge mainland market will bring her career to a new level, and the impact of the bad dramas filmed on the peninsula with poor reputation in the past few years will not matter.

It's a pity that God did not fulfill his wish.

This time, due to force majeure, almost all the previous investment and efforts were in vain. The foundation laid before and the heroine of the new drama were gone. It can be said that I encountered a lot of setbacks in my career.

After looking at her at this time, Lin Yoona still had the same face that surprised Chi Jingyuan when they first met. She had long black hair shawl, and the simple combination of shirt and jeans looked very tasteful on her body. There is a more mature atmosphere, which is completely different from the feeling of the second maknae in Girls' Generation activities.

With full make-up and a rosy complexion, she seems to be in good health and cannot see the frustration that her career development has been greatly affected.

The place for this meeting was found by YoonA-senpai. It was not placed in the coffee shop on the first floor of the company, but a higher-end coffee shop near the company... It was just two days after returning, Just a little anxious, he went to Chi Jingyuan to drink coffee and chat, which also showed some urgency in his heart.

Chi Jingyuan actually had some guesses about what his senior was going to say.

"So don't be so solemn." Lin Yoona pulled up her hair and sounded very familiar: "Just treat it like when you get along with Taeyeon and Unnie."

"Then do I take it seriously?" Chi Jingyuan heard this, paused, smiled, and asked tentatively.

Lin Yun'er didn't say anything, but gave him a smart look, which was considered an answer.

It seems that Lin Yoona often comes to this place. After her introduction, Chi Jingyuan ordered a cup of Americano like her. Soon the coffee was served. The two of them did not go directly to the topic but exchanged a few words and drank. We started chatting casually, and after just a few words, the song that had just been played in the cafe ended and a new song was cut to it.

As soon as Chi Jingyuan listened to the intro, he could tell it was "Missing You" by EXO.

Lin Yoona obviously heard it, and hummed a few lines along with the introduction as if she liked it very much: "You guys are really flying into the sky now. You can hear XO's songs everywhere. I often saw you when I was in Xia Kingdom Ours, especially Jingyuan’s poster, EXO is also a good topic when chatting with friends...it is already the most popular artist in Kpop in mainland China.”

Yoona-senpai has this ability, being able to talk about ordinary greetings and situations so sincerely that Chi Kyung-yuan feels a sense of pride when he listens to it.

Chi Jingyuan showed a sunny smile, seemed a little embarrassed, and said with the same sincerity: "It's just good luck... It's all a market opened up by the seniors of Girls' Generation."

After saying that, he finished watching, took two sips of coffee and asked proactively: "Senior called me out, is it because of the TV series?"

"Inside."

Entering the topic, Lin Yoona nodded naturally: "It's about the drama "The K2". You may know something about it. I received a performance invitation from the crew before, but at that time, I had already confirmed that I would star in a new mainland drama. Although I’m sorry, but I apologized and declined.”

"As a result, something happened again..." Speaking of this matter that had a great impact on her, she shook her head slightly and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. It seemed that her mood still fluctuated a bit.

She took a sip of coffee to cover up, then looked over and continued: "I heard Oppa Shiyong said that the crew also sent you an invitation to play the leading role?

Li Shiyong is her personal agent and is usually responsible for contacting various activities.

Sure enough, it's about the TV series.

Chi Jingyuan was right.

Senior YoonA has been blocked from acting in the Mainland, so she naturally has to return to the peninsula to develop her career again. At the same time, she also has to take advantage of some of the mistakes she had made in rejecting TV dramas before. Among the scripts that have not yet confirmed the starring role and have not started filming, "The K2" has an excellent cast and script. Yes, it is a very good resource.

But after all, she had refused before. Lin Yoona might feel embarrassed, or she might not be too sure. After hearing that Chi Jingyuan had also received an invitation and might participate in the show, she wanted to ask him about this drama. Progress things.

It was probably because she had just returned not long ago, so the news between her and her agent was a little delayed, and she didn't know that Chi Jingyuan had already negotiated with the "Goblin" crew... But the two sides were not in the same department, and it was normal for the news to be delayed if they didn't specifically ask.

In fact, if Chi Jingyuan really accepted the male lead of "K2", he would be happy to help.

What a pity.

Chi Jingyuan sighed in his heart, and didn't perfunctorily say directly and honestly: "So the thing that senior asked about is this matter. I did receive an invitation from the crew over there, and I also read the script, but I also considered the possibility of acting, but..."

Noticing senior Yoona's serious eyes, he paused and shrugged with some regret: "Although the script is excellent, I have already rejected the crew... Because I have accepted another TV series, the contract has been signed, and it is estimated that the news will be made public in a few days."

"Uh..." Hearing this, Lin Yuner, who had already prepared what to say next, was stuck.

After she came back this time, she had a meeting and discussed and decided to go back to take the female lead of "THE K2". After hearing that Ji Jingyuan might play the male lead, she was quite excited and asked him out to talk. She wanted to talk to Ji Jingyuan about the situation of the crew.

She was still quite confident about getting the role again. She was looking forward to the possible cooperation. She was ready to discuss the script with Ji Jingyuan later. As soon as she opened her mouth, she stopped before she had time to say anything.

"You took other dramas? Shiyong Oppa didn't know." Lin Yuner was stunned for a second, shook her head and looked a little regretful, but immediately recovered and asked curiously: "Can you know which one it is?"

"Of course, it's the new work "Goblin" by writer Kim Eun-sook."

"Goblin..." Hearing this name, Lin Yuner looked at Ji Jingyuan with a weird look.

Of course she had heard of this drama. Who wouldn't pay attention to the work of the original cast of "Descendants of the Sun"? It's just that the crew has never made the casting public, and SM doesn't have that many resources.

Unexpectedly, this script that many people are watching was quietly taken by Chi Jingyuan... With her understanding of Chi Jingyuan's status, she would naturally think that he would play the male lead.

You can even get such resources... Didn't I hear that it was Gong Yoo before? You can even snatch him?

"Hehe..." Without explaining the various secrets of "Goblin" casting in detail, Chi Jingyuan smiled shyly with his eyes narrowed.

"That's a pity. I thought I had a chance to work with Jingyuan once."

Although she was a little surprised, Lin Yuner didn't stick to it. She gently stirred the coffee twice with a spoon and sighed.

"It's a bit regrettable."

Chi Jingyuan nodded in agreement, but felt a little weird in his heart.

If the script of "The K2" he read was not wrong, the male and female protagonists had a lot of kissing scenes, and it can be said that they kissed from beginning to end... Senior, you are not regretting this, right?

Senior Yoona is very good at socializing. Although she knew that there was no drama after just a few words, she did not look too disappointed. Instead, she naturally and interestedly chatted with Chi Jingyuan about other things. She talked about a lot of interesting things when she was filming in Xiaguo, and also asked about some recent gossip in the Peninsula music industry. The two of them chatted happily.

"... But when it comes to "The K2" script, I actually read it carefully many times. "

Although there may be no chance to cooperate in this drama, but it's here, and Yoona senior is likely to regain the position of the heroine. After chatting for a while, Chi Jingyuan brought up this topic again. After thinking about it, he talked about some of his own opinions:

"Compared with ordinary idol romance dramas, this drama is relatively novel with a layer of chaebol and special forces skin, especially the male protagonist has a lot of action scenes in it, which is very attractive, but the female characters, especially the heroine, are not very good. "

"As far as the first few episodes of the script I saw, the image of the heroine Gao Anna is very thin, and she is different from the male protagonist The setting of several scenes of the rivalry makes people feel inexplicable, and the character setting of a cowardly, innocent, idiotic and beautiful girl is really unpopular now. In comparison, I think the setting of the second female role, Cui Youzhen, is much better and easy to impress people. "

"... Senior, if you want to take on the role of Gao Anna, if possible, you should communicate with the writer and make some changes in some details. "

Chi Jingyuan has studied the script of this drama. Let's not talk about the male lead for now. As far as the script he got is concerned, it is better to say that Gao Anna is the female lead than the chaebol wife. The performance in the drama alone is much more exciting. If it is matched with a suitable actor with excellent acting skills, it will be even more colorful.

Although I don't know if Lin Yuner has the same appreciation and connections as him to let the writer modify the script, he still kindly reminded her. After all, she is his senior and idol on the road of acting.

"Jingyuan's advice is really important. I will consider it carefully..."

"It would be best if you can help a little."

"Well...but you won't be..."

After listening to Chi Jingyuan's suggestion very seriously, Lin Yuner nodded seriously, then looked at him with gratitude, and then deliberately showed a look of suspicion and expectation after the end, but looked over with a smile in her eyes: "You don't like me, do you?"

Such a straightforward question may make other people nervous and speak without thinking, but Chi Jingyuan was slightly stunned. He was not embarrassed by the question, but showed a surprised expression and blinked at Lin Yuner: "Is it obvious?"

"..."

The two looked at each other, all looked at each other's expressions, and suddenly laughed together. The tacit laughter was mixed with many interesting emotions, and the sound lingered around.

In fact, I have known Lin Yuner for a long time, but apart from Chi Jingyuan's occasional fan behavior, he is actually just a senior in the company who is more familiar, but in comparison, he is far less familiar than Kim Taeyeon, but at this time in the laughter, he felt that the two of them suddenly became familiar and closer.

"You..." Lin Yuner smiled and shook her head

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Chi Jingyuan waved his hand, without any embarrassment, and suddenly recalled: "When I first joined the company, the teacher instructed us on some precautions when we were on variety shows. When we asked each of us to choose an ideal type, did the senior know who I chose?"

"It won't be me?" Lin Yuner hesitated and pointed to herself. Although she looked unconvinced, her eyes were shining, and there was obvious expectation in her tone.

"Bingo! I'm talking about senior Yoona... Unfortunately, she was scolded by the teacher and told not to mention artists of the opposite sex who are close in age." Chi Jingyuan immediately nodded in confirmation, and then curled his lips with some regret.

Before Lin Yuner covered her mouth and laughed, Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and recalled for a while, and then said: "By the way, I still remember that when I was studying in LA, I saw the promotional posters of Girls' Generation in the stadium. In my memory, the most eye-catching poster at that time, and the one that impressed me the most, was the poster of senior Yoona..."

"Ah, qingjia?" Lin Yuner supported her eyes and leaned forward a little. Although she used a question sentence, she obviously believed it.

"Of course." Chi Jingyuan looked serious and sincere. Seeing that Lin Yuner's mouth corners were raised, and her eyes were full of reserved and satisfied smiles, he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Sure enough, what Jin Taeyeon said was right. Senior Yuner seemed to be much more mature in recent years, and her emotional intelligence was very high, but in fact her personality had not changed much. It was just disguised by her mature manners.

According to Taeyeon's sister's original words: "Don't look at her pretending every day, as if she is going to politics. In fact, she knows that she is good-looking and narcissistic. She has been like this since she was a trainee. If others take care of her a little, she thinks that others like her and are interested in her... You just keep praising her and keep saying nice things, it's absolutely right."

Sure enough, she is worthy of being the captain of the group who has lived together for so long, and she understands her quite deeply.

When answering the question about his ideal type, Ji Jingyuan did mention Lin Yuner, but the story behind it was somewhat beautified. When he was studying in LA, he did see the promotional posters of Girls' Generation's Beauty, but when it comes to good-looking and impressive... In fact, none of them stood out. He forgot about them after seeing them, and he didn't pay attention to them at all.

"..." Lin Yuner covered her mouth and looked very happy. She couldn't help laughing, but after all, she was a senior, so she was not so easy to coax. She turned her eyes and looked at him with spirit: "Is it me, the senior, who is pretty, or Irene?"

Feeling the mischievous gaze, Ji Jingyuan hesitated for a moment.

So you know...

But this kind of question is not difficult for him. Ji Jingyuan pretended to think for two seconds: "In terms of beauty, it must be..."

In Lin Yuner's expectant eyes, he said the girl's name very straightforwardly: "It's still Irene."

"Hehe..." Lin Yuner smiled, but the originally perfect smile was now a little disdainful and self-deprecating, and it looked much more real and vivid than before.

"In a relationship, in the boyfriend's heart, of course his girlfriend is the prettiest." Chi Jingyuan laughed, looking very sincere.

He also felt the change in Lin Yuner. Although there was no opportunity for cooperation this time, after drinking coffee this time, their relationship became much more familiar, and he was still very happy.

Lin Yuner nodded indifferently to Chi Jingyuan's words, and then turned her eyes and asked maliciously: "Jingyuan, you said that you thought my promotional poster was the best and most eye-catching at that time... What about Taeyeon's?"

"Uh..." Chi Jingyuan opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "I don't have much impression."

"Haha..." This answer seemed to make Lin Yuner very happy. She covered her mouth and laughed twice, and said in a sly tone: "Don't let Taeyeon hear this... She will definitely be jealous."

Chi Jingyuan asked back in confusion: "We are not in a relationship, will she be jealous?"

"Of course, sometimes if Taeyeon's frequent dancers or accompaniments cooperate with others, she will be unhappy and jealous... She is like this." Lin Yuner smiled happily, and I don't know if she guessed something, and she casually exposed Kim Taeyeon's character shortcomings without showing any emotion.

You really understand each other...

Chi Jingyuan was inexplicably moved, but his face remained calm. He waved his hand and looked indifferent: "She is busy with her comeback these days and has no time to care about us."

"Haha..."

...

Although other interesting things were mentioned later, it can be seen that Lin Yuner still attaches great importance to Chi Jingyuan's suggestions and opinions on the script. If she can really get this role again and polish the character setting and plot a little, Chi Jingyuan is actually quite optimistic about this drama. It will definitely be much better than "Love Rain" and will play a significant role in helping the senior's career focus return to the peninsula.

And drinking coffee once made Chi Jingyuan and his idol closer, which was also a happy harvest.

As he said, Kim Taeyeon is busy with her comeback recently. Time flies and the company has released all the audio sources and MVs of Kim Taeyeon's second mini album "WHY". The performance of the title song airborne second also re-demonstrated her and EXO's current strong strength and popularity as the light of SM audio sources.

As a good friend, Ji Jingyuan also took a photo of the autographed album that Kim Taeyeon personally gave him and uploaded it to his Instagram to help promote it.

At the same time, on the 28th, the production company Hwa & Dam Pictures officially announced: # Ji Jingyuan # will play the male lead in "Goblin" (tentative title), the new work of "Descendants of the Sun" writer Kim Eun-sook. The drama is expected to be broadcast on tvN in November.
