Chapter 700 Good!
After the dinner, Twice did not go back to the dormitory directly because it was still early. They went to the company to practice for the JYP Nation stage that would be held soon, and did not return to the dormitory until the early hours of the morning.
Their schedule was so tight that the company actually made time for them to have dinner together in the evening after pushing a schedule for them.
When the members of Twice came back and started to wash and brush their teeth, Yu Jeongyeon, who was originally lying on the bed, sat up suddenly and walked slowly to the side of Lin Nayeon's bed.
She frowned and fluttered twice, moving some strange clothes and socks piled on the bed to one side, and then sat down and looked at Lin Nayeon who was looking at herself in the mirror and asked: "How was the meal?" ""It tasted good... It was still that Italian restaurant. Didn't we go there once with PD nim before our debut?" Lin Nayeon looked at herself in the mirror, pursed her lips and turned her head left and right, and then replied casually.
"Who asked about the taste? I was asking how it felt to have dinner with Jingyuan Oppa. "Yu Jeongyeon smiled and patted the sister who pretended to be confused.
"Not very good, no feeling..."
Lin Nayeon curled her lips and put down the mirror, and then, as if to increase the credibility of her words, she added: "What can the PD do? I just listened to them chatting all the time, chattering non-stop..."
Yu Jeongyeon was too lazy to pay attention to this stubborn elder sister, and looked at Ming Jingnan who was sitting next to the bed and fiddling with her mobile phone: "Mina, what do you think?"
"Hey..." Ming Jingnan, who was looking at the phone, raised her head, recalled for a second, and smiled sweetly: "I think it's quite interesting."
Today's dinner is a very special memory for her. This is the first time she has eaten with Ji Jingyuan after knowing each other for so long.
Although Park Jinying and other members were there, they didn't say anything because they couldn't let go of many things, but the feeling of sitting next to each other all the time, interacting from time to time and looking at each other tacitly in the middle is very memorable now.
"What did they talk about during the meal? ”
“We talked about everything, too many schedules, songs for our new album, filming TV series, and a lot of things about almost joining the company before, which were all quite interesting…”
Mingjing Nan smiled and talked about the topic of the evening skillfully. It was obvious that she listened very carefully during the meal before: “By the way, they also talked about introducing a doctor to Ouni…”
At this point, Mingjing Nan became interested and looked at Yu Jeongyeon and asked: “We don’t know yet, when did Ouni introduce a doctor to you…”
“Ah, speaking of this…”
Looking at Yu Jeongyeon who was excited to tell the story, and Mingjing Nan who was smiling and listening to the story seriously, Lin Nayeon rolled her eyes, snorted, patted her butt and walked out.
………………
“Did this seat for dinner tonight have been arranged before?”
After midnight, Chi Jingyuan, who also finished his work at the company and returned to the dormitory, leaned against the head of his bed in the dormitory, tapping the screen of his mobile phone with both hands quickly, and wrote a reply to Zhou Ziyu who had just sent a text message.
“No, I just picked the seat at random at the time… What’s wrong? ”
Seeing this reply, Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and thought for a while, recalling the two neighbors in the evening, and then he didn't know what he remembered and laughed softly, and then he responded casually: "Nothing... Then why don't you sit next to me?"
"You want me to sit next to you (smiley face) Hehe... No way!"
"Tsk, who cares."
Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and sent it, and then swiped the screen directly, clicked into another message and started replying-Mingjing Nan just sent a text message: "I heard that you will have a holiday in a few days?"
Mina: "Well, the agent said before that after the album's activities are over, I will have a holiday, probably in mid-July, but it should only be two or three days. "
"Congratulations... Are you planning to stay in Seoul? Do you want to play games together? "
Mina: "Hehe, I'm going to go home. Every time my mother comes to see me, I haven't been back for a long time... But we can play together when I go back. ”
Just as he was talking, his phone vibrated again, and other text messages appeared on the top of the screen. Chi Jingyuan swiped across the screen in a busy manner and clicked into Zhou Ziyu's chat box:
"Hmph! (Frowning)... How can I sit when the PD is here? And I'm not happy to see you eating."
"Of course, if you don't sit next to me and keep grinning to make me happy, of course I'm happy."
"What are you doing, annoying!"
"I really should take a picture of you eating... Have you been practicing for the family concert stage recently? Do you have a lot of collaborative stages?"
"Well, quite a lot, some with members, and some with company seniors... I've been practicing every night recently, and many of the company's artists are here, it's very lively."
"Speaking of which, when Jinying left, he invited me to see you JYP Nation. "
"Ah, do you want to come and see it?"
"I'm not very interested, let's talk about it later."
"Okay... well, I'll tell you a secret. Recently, many idols have asked for my contact information through people they know. When I went to the TV station some time ago, I received a lot of notes posted under the drinks, with various words written on them. There were also some that Cody sister took the initiative to send, and some even came directly to give gifts...
And it's not just me, many members are also like this... It feels a bit weird, has it always been like this?"
Seeing the long string of text that Zhou Ziyu suddenly sent, Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment, and after reading it carefully, he showed a look of understanding.
Male and female idols in the music industry have a favorite object, and want to get to know, be ambiguous or have a relationship. There are only a few channels, such as buying drinks and passing notes, finding someone to introduce, Cody helping to pass the message, and even going directly to confess.
And Chi Jingyuan has experienced all these methods, and has experienced them many times. When he went to the TV station to perform songs, he could receive small notes from female idols almost every time.
Because the more beautiful and popular the idol is, the more popular he is.
Thinking of the countless confessions and notes he received after his debut, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
So Zhou Ziyu has reached this point...
Come to think of it, it's true. Twice is so popular now. Zhou Ziyu is the most popular member of the team and is famous for her excellent appearance. It's normal for her to be sought after.
But when he suddenly heard this normal news, Chi Jingyuan didn't know why he felt a little weird...
"You are popular, it's like this..."
"I have encountered it after my debut, but not so many... These days, a senior from the same company said he would introduce me to a friend..."
Chi Jingyuan was looking at the text message sent to him, and the door of the dormitory suddenly opened and closed with a muffled sound that attracted his attention. He looked up and saw Wu Sehun coming in from outside, walked to his bedside and glanced at him, and then said with a strange look: "Have you got the GUCCI endorsement?"
"How do you know?" Chi Jingyuan paused slightly after hearing this, put down his phone and looked at him curiously.
He only found out about it this afternoon. The company and he didn't publicize it. Where did this person hear it from?
"We were in the practice room at the time. After receiving the call, Seunghwan brother excitedly said it out..."
Wu Se-hun explained briefly, then sat down on his bed opposite, looked up and down at Chi Jingyuan with a strange look, and then his eyes drifted to the figurines on the bedside table next to him. He couldn't help but look at a co-branded sweatshirt of Chi Jingyuan hanging on the wardrobe next to him, looking at the silly Doraemon face on it. He said angrily with obvious confusion: "You said you obviously have no fashion sense at all, and you wear such childish clothes every day... Why can you get such a powerful fashion endorsement?"
"That's... GUCCI..."
Wu Se-hun sighed jealously, his tone full of regret and confusion.
He has always been very ambitious about fashion.
"Maybe..." Chi Jingyuan blinked innocently, holding his phone and pretending to think, and then asked tentatively: "Because I'm handsome?"
He didn't get annoyed at all when he heard Wu Sehun's complaints. Seeing his crazy expression of envy, he actually felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and wanted to laugh.
Although he could clearly feel the other party's envy and even jealousy, it was still gratifying to be able to say it so directly without keeping the complaints in his heart and affecting the relationship between each other.
"Hehe..." Wu Sehun was blocked and speechless when he saw Chi Jingyuan's appearance, and couldn't help but roll his eyes heavily.
Chi Jingyuan looked at him and pouted his lips unhappily, then sat on the bed and started to change clothes. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Does everyone else know it?"
"Didn't you see that the group chat was relatively silent this afternoon?"
"Hmm..."
Chi Jingyuan exhaled and nodded gently.
Nowadays, as EXO debuts for a long time, the individual activities of each member have increased, and everyone has paid more and more attention to personal development, personal resources obtained from the company, as well as personal endorsements and schedules.
Ji Jingyuan has always been the best in the team, and the members are used to it... But this time, the endorsement of GUCCI is really a bit shocking.
Although the fact is that GUCCI is optimistic about Ji Jingyuan who took the initiative to name him, SM actually did not play much of a role in promoting it, but no matter how Ji Jingyuan got the endorsement, the huge gap in resources between them does make people feel a little uncomfortable.
In the same group, when knowing that other members have received very good resources that are far beyond their own and usually out of reach, the instinctive reaction and true thoughts of most people are definitely not congratulations.
But jealousy and envy.
Ji Jingyuan actually understands other people's thoughts and feelings. To be fair, if it were him, he would definitely be envious, jealous, unhappy, and depressed.
With his emotional intelligence and style of doing things, of course he would not take the initiative to show off in front of others... Except for Wu Sehun... No one mentioned it to each other, and keeping silent and a tacit understanding was the best choice.
However, this kind of real and cruel difference in resources due to personal ability, background, and connections is too common in the circle. In fact, after so many years, everyone has long been accustomed to it. It’s just that some people have just realized it and have not yet recovered. It takes a few days to adjust their mentality.
It just so happened that Chi Jingyuan was leaving Seoul to fly to Italy the day after tomorrow, so he didn't have to feel the strange atmosphere in the team in the past two or three days.
He didn't talk about this topic again. After casually saying a few words, he lowered his head and looked at his phone. He re-read the text message Zhou Ziyu had just sent, and after thinking for a few seconds, he replied:
"I remember you often told me before that you were very popular when you were in school here, and you were often confessed to by male classmates... If you didn't brag, you should be experienced in dealing with this kind of thing, right? ?”
"Hmph...super awesome!"
"That Tzuyu Xi is really amazing. I don't have this kind of experience. Can you give me a lecture when you have time?"
"don't want!"
"Okay... This kind of thing is unavoidable. You can take charge of it yourself... Just remember what I told you before."
"……okay."
……………
"...This is the script that I revised for the first six episodes. Jingyuan, please take a good look at it when you go back."
"OK."
Chi Jingyuan took the script information handed over by Jin Eunshu and nodded seriously.
Yesterday the production company just announced his participation in "Goblin", and tomorrow he will fly to Italy to start busy with GUCCI endorsement matters. He will not be able to return to Seoul for about ten days.
Today, he received an invitation from the writer and PD, and came to tvN to meet with the creative team to discuss the improvement of the script and the positioning of his leading actor Jin Qian.
Whether it is the director, the writer's team, even the production company, and tvN obviously attach great importance to "Goblin", a TV series that has not yet started filming. The changes and improvements to the script have not stopped. After confirming that Ji Kyung-won will play the leading role After that, Kim Eun-sook seemed to have entered her peak creative period and was very enthusiastic. Every few days, she would come up with some new ideas that she wanted to add to the original script, making the previously imperfect script more exciting.
During the period, she often called Chi Jingyuan and asked him what he thought of the male protagonist. Chi Jingyuan also valued the drama very much and discussed it attentively. The two communicated a lot with each other.
"...I would like to communicate with you, Jingyuan, about some requirements, or hopes, for Jin Qian's performance."
Li Yingfu, who was sitting next to him, watched Chi Jingyuan take the script and continue talking about the topic. When he saw Chi Jingyuan nodding solemnly and listening, he also nodded and continued: "Although there is no age limit for ghosts. Yes, after Jingyuan You was confirmed to star, the appearance of the male protagonist Jin Qian was changed to 25 years old, which is the image of a young man, but after all, the character setting is that he is a ghost who has lived for nearly a thousand years. He has done countless things, so his inner character, emotional expression, and even his eyes are definitely not as green as those of young people, but should be mature, old-fashioned, and indifferent.”
"So my understanding of Jin Qian is that he is a man who has a young appearance, but apart from his appearance, he is mature from the inside out. I hope you can convey this through your acting skills when you perform. It shows that he can't really act like a 25-year-old young man.
It's about letting the audience see that you are an ancient ghost with a vast experience and full of secrets... This is very important for the interpretation of the male protagonist. "
Li Yingfu had obviously thought about it a lot and carefully talked about his requirements for the male lead.
"PDnim, this difficulty... is indeed a bit high."
When Chi Jingyuan heard this, he nodded obediently, and then smiled politely: "Performing this kind of expression and temperament is also a big challenge for me... but I will try hard to do it."
He did not refuse, because after reading the script, he agreed with Li Yingfu's view. Although it is an idol drama covered in fantasy, the male protagonist Jin Qian is a very deep character.
He is young and handsome on the outside, but mature and vicissitudes of life on the inside. This contrast is indeed a very high requirement for acting and requires some skills, but it is indeed a role that is easy to excel in. If you play it well, you will be a classic character, famous acting, and even possible. Award winning.
Of course, if she doesn't perform well, she'll frown, stare, be frivolous and greasy, and be criticized for her Qinglong actress-style performance.
"I have watched your "Misheng" and "Signal", and the performance is really wonderful. It's your opinion." Li Yingfu was also very happy to see Chi Jingyuan's approval, and smiled and patted him. His shoulders are a great affirmation of his acting skills.
Kim Eun-sook also smiled.
It can be seen that both Li Yingfu and Kim Eun-sook are quite confident in Chi Kyung-won. His performances in several previous TV series have indeed earned him high praise and trust in the industry.
After chatting for a while, Chi Jingyuan saw that the crew still had something to do later and stood up to say goodbye. Jin Eunshu took the initiative to stand up and see him off. She looked at Chi Jingyuan in the farewell manner for a while and looked at his neat short hair. Suddenly he smiled and reminded: "I will probably officially start shooting in September... Your hair may need to be grown a little longer, but it doesn't need to be too long... In fact, I think Jingyuan looks very good with short hair. Characteristic."
"Haha, I know."
Chi Jingyuan also smiled and waved goodbye to Jin Eunshu.
"This is the third time that the script has been revised in half a month. Writer Kim Eun-sook's creative enthusiasm is really high."
After leaving the conference room of the "Goblin" crew and walking in the corridor, Park Jae-hyun laughed when he saw Ji Kyung-won putting the new script into his bag.
"That's a good thing."
Chi Jingyuan zipped up the shoulder bag and shrugged: "A lot of the plots in the previous script were actually based on Gong Yooxi's acting, with a 35-year-old appearance and an uncle's style. After I became an adult, some details and processing seemed a bit inappropriate. We should be happy that the writer can constantly make perfect changes tailored for me. "
"really……"
Park Jae-hyun nodded and casually talked about some of the news he had heard: "I heard that the drama "Goblin" accelerated the selection of other roles after your role was confirmed, especially the heroine. Recently, it has begun to select many actresses. Audition…”
"fine……"
While chatting, the two of them walked towards the elevator. After taking only two steps, two figures suddenly appeared at the corner in front. They looked directly at Chi Jingyuan here, and took the initiative to say hello with some surprise. Greeting: "Jingyuan?"
"Xin Hui Nuna?" Chi Jingyuan also smiled and waved hello. The person in front of him was Park Shin Hye, and he also knew the person next to him, who was this sister's manager.
"The Heirs", as a drama that made Ji Kyung-won famous in Asia, gave him and many actors a lot of bonuses. During the few months of filming, he also made many friends, not counting his close friend Zheng Xiujing. Besides, we are still in contact so far, and the ones who have a good relationship are Park Shin Hye and Kim Woo Bin.
I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence today.
"Nuna come to audition?"
Looking at the expressions of the two people and what Park Jae-hyun said casually just now, Chi Jingyuan guessed Park Shin-hye's purpose.
"Yes, the audition for "Goblin"..." Park Shin Hye looked at Chi Jingyuan and nodded with a smile.
Of course she knows that Chi Jingyuan has been confirmed to be the protagonist of this drama.
"Isn't "Doctors" just released? And with such good results, Noona still has time to film "Goblin"?" Chi Jingyuan
The medical drama "Doctors" starring Park Shin Hye was released on SBS last week, June 20. It has only been broadcast for two weeks and has already shown its potential as a hit drama. The ratings have increased significantly and the results are very good.
"Because "Goblin" will not be filmed in the near future...and who doesn't want to cooperate with writer Kim Eun-sook?" Park Shin-hye smoothed her hair, smiled and shrugged: "There are not many productions of this level a year, come and try it. Just try your luck."
"Come on, Nuna Fighting!" Chi Jingyuan clenched his fist and cheered her up with a smile.
"Go for it." Park Shin Hye also smiled and clenched her fist, then paused and took the initiative to invite: "Find a time later to have a cup of coffee together?"
"Okay, just call me."
Chi Jingyuan heard what this sister meant and didn't refuse. He nodded and agreed directly.
"...You want to help her?"
After saying goodbye to Park Shin Hye and her manager, the two walked into the elevator and went downstairs. Park Jae Hyun also heard Park Shin Hye's last invitation and asked aloud.
"If there are no other suitable candidates, it doesn't matter if you do a favor to a close friend..." Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and responded casually.
But after he finished speaking, he thought about it and looked up with some hesitation: "But I feel... Shin Hye-nuna is not very suitable for this role."
"Actually, I feel the same way..."
Chi Jingyuan and Park Jae-hyun chatted about their encounter just now and got off the elevator and entered the underground parking lot. In the quiet atmosphere with lights flashing and cars passing by, they came to the place where the nanny car was parked.
Chi Jingyuan opened the door and was about to get in the car when suddenly a nanny car quickly drove in from outside and parked in a parking space not far from them.
The car door opened with a "sting" sound, and a figure walked down from it. Maybe he noticed it just now, or maybe he heard the movement here and looked over.
Chi Jingyuan also glanced over there, their eyes collided, and soon the two of them laughed together.
What a coincidence.
It's Bae Suzy.
………
At night, the night sky is dark and full of moonlight.
In a high-end apartment in Jiangnan District, which he had not been to for a while, Chi Jingyuan, who had just finished his hard work and was sitting on the sofa, heard footsteps. He looked back and saw that Chi Jingyuan had just walked out of the bathroom after taking a bath and changed into a bright red silk suit. Pei Xiuzhi, who was wearing a long skirt and pajamas, was walking this way. She clicked her tongue helplessly and looked at the innocent face getting closer and closer with a smiling and complaining gaze:
"Is it a little more purposeful?"
