Chapter 876 December

This reporter's question made the actors on the stage smile again. Chi Jingyuan had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help complaining when he looked at the female reporter.

To be honest, it was already very impolite to mention other TV series at the press conference of "Goblin", not to mention that it was a fantasy-themed TV series with similar themes and characters, which had already been broadcast and had the same schedule as the competing TV series of the same period.

He suspected that the reporter either came with a mission or was purely for gimmicks and eyeballs.

"Legend of the Blue Sea" is also a romantic drama in the form of a fantasy drama. The two leading actors, Jeon Ji-hyun and Lee Min-ho, are also the top male and female partners in the Peninsula entertainment industry. Coincidentally, just like the writer of "Goblin", Kim Eun-sook, has a popular predecessor "Descendants of the Sun", the previous work of the writer of "Blue", Park Ji-eun, was also a big hit, that is, the popular "My Love from the Star" in Asia.

With such a similar resume, all reporters, passers-by and even the audience naturally compared the two dramas together.

The two dramas were broadcast only two weeks apart, which is the exact same schedule. It can be said that from any perspective, "Blue" is the biggest competitor of "Goblin".

Since its launch, the popularity of this drama has been amazing, and the ratings have been rising. The ratings of the fourth episode aired the day before yesterday have reached 17.1%. Compared with "Goblin" which has not yet been shown, this drama can be said to have started off well.

The leading actors Ji Jingyuan, Lee Dongxu, and Bae Suzy also talked about this competitor privately, saying that they were worried about being defeated by the competition. That's not the case. After filming during this period, they are very confident about "Goblin".

But the performance of the TV series with the same theme in the same period is so good, to be honest, it has indeed put a lot of pressure on them.

Moreover, on the Internet, the fans of the two TV series and the fans of the actors are not so friendly, and they have already torn each other apart.

But no matter how they argue with the fans online, the crew must keep a harmonious atmosphere, otherwise it is easy to cause controversy.

"It seems that this needs a good answer, otherwise it may cause misunderstandings..."

Kim Eun-sook held the microphone and laughed, saying: "I like fantasy dramas very much, so I also watched the works of writer Park with great interest, which are really wonderful..."

This sister obviously prepared for this kind of question in advance, and spoke with reason and evidence, very fluently: "And everyone knows that writer Park and I belong to the same studio, and writer Park and I eat the same bowl of rice, so their TV series and our TV series must have good results, haha, I will support them."

Kim Eun-sook's perfect answer made the reporters in the audience not get any explosive points. When they were both admired and disappointed, the reporters took the contradiction again. The head pointed at the male lead Chi Jingyuan: "Excuse me, Jingyuanxi, have you seen it? What do you think of it?"

"Of course I have seen it, it's really interesting, and I am also very interested in magical themes, so..."

Chi Jingyuan, who has never seen "Legend of the Blue Sea", spoke with a smile and expressed his affirmation of the drama with great emotional intelligence. Then he turned the topic to their "Goblin" and praised it mercilessly, and finally showed an expectant and somewhat embarrassed smile:

"You can watch their schedule on Wednesday and Thursday... Watch us on Friday and Saturday. Please watch it at 8 pm on December 2nd, Kangsangmida~"

…………

This press conference broadcast live on V LIVE naturally attracted many long-awaited drama fans, as well as fans of various leading actors including Chi Jingyuan... Of course, most of his fans watched it all the time, and after that, the "Goblin" crew once again uploaded a three-minute trailer video edited from highlights, as well as a group photo of the five main actors.

In the photo, Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na are sitting on the left, while Ji Jingyuan is wearing a dark exquisite suit, maintaining a slightly mature movement and expression, sitting on a small sofa in the front.

His CP Bae Suzy is wearing a white see-through sweater with a long beige skirt, a very elegant and graceful outfit, with a little bit of sexiness, sitting on the armrest of the sofa next to him, with short hair draped over her shoulders, an elegant smile, and one hand very skillfully and naturally placed on Ji Jingyuan's shoulder. The smiles and movements of the two people look very harmonious, and the CP feeling is full and very well matched. With the title and broadcast time of the drama "Goblin" in the upper left corner of the photo, it is easy to have a strong sense of expectation.

... A promotional photo, the left side is the CP, the right side is also the CP, only Lu Xingcai in the middle is sitting there playing alone, I don’t know what he is doing.

The press conference, the trailer and the promotional photos pushed the popularity of "Goblin" to a peak before the show started, and countless people started discussing it online:

"I watched all the promotional videos of "Goblin". The war scene in it was really a grand scene. It's really exciting that Ji Jingyuan is filming a costume drama for the first time. I heard that there are also super special effects!!...TvN has a hot drama every year at the end of the year in recent years, such as "Misaeng" in 2014 and "Reply 1988" in 2015. I have a feeling that this year's "Goblin" will also be a big hit, Fighint!"

"Wow, Yuan and Suzy really match each other. This promotional photo is so exciting. My favorite male idol and my favorite female idol are collaborating again. Ahhhh, I'm so excited. Stick to the broadcast!"

"Yuna and Suzy have formed a limited group before. They collaborated on the New Year song "Some" and it became a hit. Now they are partnering in a TV series together. Is this really a coincidence? Have you seen the previous interview with Reuters? Why do I feel the way Suzy looks at Yuan? They’re all hairy, so these two are really dating, right?”

"Go to hell, Xiba. Bae Suzy, a scheming, buck-toothed idol, made a four-digit group with poor sales and disbanded and couldn't even make news. Each of the movies she filmed is worse than the one she acted in "Wandering Attachment" How rotten is she? When she is about to die, who knows what dirty tricks she used behind the scenes to get the heroine of "Goblin". Thinking about it makes me feel sick. She is still bragging about the nation's first love every day, yue~ every day Just know that Oppa, who is trying to catch us, can you please go away?"

"Do you want to be so vicious when you speak? I think Yuan and Suzy match up well. Their looks and height match, and their celebrity status is close. Why are they so violent... These young fans of EXO are really scary. , whenever a woman appears next to Yuan, he will be instantly stressed, why are you everywhere?"

"Although Ji Kyung Won and Bae Suzy look really good together, why do I feel that Ji Kyung Won and Lee Dong Wook are more compatible... And what's going on with Yook Sung Jae in this promotional photo? He doesn't feel like he's very good in it. Is it embarrassing?”

"There are a lot of people discussing it, but I feel like I haven't seen much promotion for "Goblin". It's just a very standard promotional video and Reuters photos. It feels like a small deal."

"It's not that there's no publicity, it's that it's not easy to publicize. The situation is not very good recently. People are deeply concerned about national affairs. If you promote a TV series too much at this time, it will easily arouse the people's resentment. "Ghost" The crew is still very sensible.”

"How can we compete with "The Legend of the Blue Sea" if we don't promote it? Their news is all about them recently, and their ratings are almost 20%. It would be embarrassing if TV series of the same type were too far apart."

"Competition? Can crazy fans stop dreaming? The partnership between Jun Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho and Oppa is the best in the entire film and television industry. How can Ji Kyung Won and Bae Suzy, two people who are idols, compete? Even the essence of I’m not an actor, and I don’t even talk about my acting skills. From popularity to celebrity status, everything was blown away. Let’s just say “Goblin” is the second best, and “Legend of the Blue Sea” is the best with Mermaid CP!”

"...I don't think highly of Bae Suzy and Jun Ji-hyun, but to say that Ji Kyung-won was blown away by Lee Min-ho, I can only say that you may be the real brainiac."

…

"Jingyuan's new drama is about to be released, and there's really been a lot of news about "Goblin" recently."

In the practice room of red velvet, Jiang Seulqi was scrolling through the news on her mobile phone. She saw several press releases and reports about "Goblin" and said something with anticipation and relief.

Just after the words fell, she glanced around a few seconds later, but found with some embarrassment that no one agreed with her at all. The several members around were doing their own things, as if they hadn't heard them at all.

Park Soo-young was sitting on the sofa with her head tilted and her legs crossed, and she was scrolling through her mobile phone. When Jiang Seul-gi looked over, she seemed to see this sister curling her lips, looking a little disdainful, no? Very happy.

...Jiang Seulqi remembered that Yook Sungjae, one of the leading actors in "Goblin", was Park Soo-young's ex-boyfriend. As far as she knew, the two people did not break up amicably, and the quarrel was not very pleasant. No wonder she heard the news at this time. The news about her ex-boyfriend's new drama seems a bit unpleasant.

In many circles, after separation, the relationship between male and female friends will take a turn for the worse and become like enemies. They will feel particularly uncomfortable when they see the other person developing better than themselves, so Jiang Seulqi also understands Park Soo Young's reaction.

...In comparison, she found that Chi Jingyuan was really amazing.

And on the other side...

Bae Zhuhyun sat with her legs crossed by the wall, staring blankly in front of her as if she was in a daze... Jiang Seulqi clearly remembered that when she looked over casually just now, this Unnie had been scrolling through his mobile phone with his head down, and she didn't know. I saw something and put my phone aside so quickly.

And... she was very keenly aware that captain Ernie didn't know what was going on recently. He felt that his mood was getting worse and worse. As the days passed, he also seemed a little anxious when he was in the dormitory. The number of nagging thoughts increased a lot, and occasionally I would get angry over trivial things. After doing it twice, I even talked a lot less in the past two days.

...Although she didn’t know the specific reason, Jiang Seulqi could probably guess it.

And 91CP's Son Seungwan was sitting next to Bae Zhuhyun, frowning, looking at the phone with her signature facial expressions, tilting her mouth and mumbling something, but she didn't know whether Bae Zhuhyun was obviously in a daze next to her. Not listening.

The environment in the entire practice room suddenly became a little weird and awkward. Jiang Seulgi felt as if she was the only one in the entire Red Velvet paying attention to the upcoming "Goblin" that has been highly discussed in the past two days, and she was the only one. A person is supporting good brother Chi Jingyuan’s new drama...

Originally, I was thinking of dragging the members to watch the premiere together... Now the atmosphere looks like everyone will have to watch the premiere secretly with their phones.

Jiang Seulgi couldn't help but twitch her lips, and sighed in exhaustion;

"Alas, I don't know when Yeri will be able to recover... With her personality and hobbies, she will definitely like the drama Jingyuan."

…………

"... I have always liked Lee Dong Wook senior, he is tall, handsome and very elegant, and he looks very good with Liu Renna senior. Suzy is really beautiful. Wow, the communication of this promotional photo is so elegant, and Sungjae xi is my age..."

"It's still a magical love drama. The previous trailers look very pleasing to the eye, and the scenes are really romantic."

"I watched "Blue" but it doesn't seem to attract me... Ah, "Goblin" is still five days away from release! I really want to watch it!!"

On the other side, in the lounge of Twice backstage of "Inkigayo", Lin Nayeon's chattering, like a cat scratching, was heard from time to time.

"Goblin" is about to be released. Recently, a lot of materials have been released online, and there are topics for discussion everywhere. As a loyal fan of melodramatic romantic TV series, Lin Nayeon has been ready for it. She has recommended it to the team countless times in the past few days.

But Yu Jeongyeon looked at the elder sister next to her who was looking forward to and excited, as if she was in love, and her expression was a little strange... How could she not hear that this sister was praised by everyone else, but she didn't mention one person's name.

In fact, she could have called out "Jingyuan Oppa" very naturally before, and her tone was full of Lin Nayeon's signature coquettish taste, which sounded sweet and greasy... But after knowing the relationship between Ji Jingyuan and Mingjingnan, after a period of entanglement and loss, everything suddenly returned to the way it was before.

It's just that the performance seems a bit too deliberate, full of a childish feeling... Yu Jeongyeon doesn't know what to say about this.

...Forget it, don't mention it, it's better than shouting "ground light ground light" in front of others.

"Okay, stop covering your face. Why are you so excited~"

With a motherly tone, Yu Jeongyeon dotingly reached out her hand to nuzzle the excited Lin Nayeon, and then took the opportunity to reveal the relevant news she knew: "I heard that the OST of "Goblin" is very good, and it is a collaboration between Jingyuan Oppa and Jung Eun-ji."

"Ah? How do you know?" Lin Nayeon's eyes widened.

"Jingyuan Oppa said in our group that he liked that song very much and specifically asked Jung Eun-ji to collaborate... You also know that they have a very good relationship."

"Well... Is there anything else I don't know!"

The two chattered excitedly, and some members who liked the TV series or supported Ji Jingyuan were also listening with interest... But Mingjing Nan, who was not far away, just thought they were noisy.

Others didn't know about Bae Suzy and Ji Jingyuan before, and thought that this TV series was just a collaboration. Some members even had a good impression of this senior from the same company.

But how could she not know? How could she not know that Bae Suzy's kind face hides a vicious inner self?

She looked at the promotional photos of "Goblin" that have been widely circulated on the Internet in the past two days on her phone, and looked at Bae Suzy sitting next to her, with her hand on her boyfriend's shoulder, biting her lips and looking unkind. Her usually gentle and kind heart also burst into extreme dissatisfaction at this time.

Scheming dead woman...

Don't be complacent!
