Chapter 879: Childish

Maybe it was because they were still reminiscing about the plot and the ending OST when it just ended. For a while, many viewers didn’t think of commenting on the Internet. But after a few minutes, the excitement of watching the movie came to their hearts, and countless people flocked to it. I went to various websites and started crazy discussions about the first episode of "Goblin".

"It's good to watch. Just like the previous movie "Oh! My Ghost", the content is very novel, but the cast and production are obviously much better. It's not a plot that's too predictable like ordinary Korean dramas. It has a plot that keeps people guessing. I want to see the magic~"

"Is there anyone who hasn't watched the scene where the male and female protagonists meet for the first time in the rain? It's so beautiful!! As we passed each other and looked into each other's eyes, I felt the aura between the male and female protagonists, and the accompanying BGM was just right~ I declare This lens is the lens of my life.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a handsome and stylish man wearing a trench coat. I directly predicted that Jin Qian’s long trench coat of the same style will become the standard winter accessory for all men in the future, but I can’t let others go in my eyes. Chi Jingyuan! What the hell did you do!"

"Chi Jingyuan is really trending, and I came here just for him. The setting of the male lead drama Jin Qian is a bit similar to Professor Do in "The Star". I am very satisfied."

"The chemistry between Jin Qian and Wang Li is really good. Why are there two male lead and two male leads who are both so tall, so handsome, and can play such good roles? I just like how you can't stand each other and have to live together. quack!"

""The Legend of the Blue Sea" has gone through all the bloody plots of Korean dramas in just a few episodes, while "Goblin" only used the first episode to show all the things that make it different from other Korean dramas. Although I don’t know the ratings yet, I think the latter is much better than the former.”

"Because Kim Eun-sook has watched the whole movie, I can only say that it is not inferior to her last movie "Descendants of the Sun." In addition to the outstanding performance of the actors, "Goblin" is also very good in the use of certain shots and scene layout. It has an exquisite texture that is not inferior to that of the movie.”

"Chi Kyung-won's acting skills have long been recognized by the industry and the public, not to mention his appearance. As a leading actor, I expected him to be very eye-catching, but Bae Suzy's performance was beyond expectations. The one who is all dressed in rice I’m impressed by the footage.”

"Overall, the 90-minute plot of the first episode didn't feel lengthy or procrastinating at all. The tone of the story was tragic yet funny, and it also laid out many exciting clues. I'm really looking forward to the second episode tonight!"

From the plot, to the texture, to the actors' appearance, to the character settings, to the soundtrack and OST, almost everywhere there were many viewers extremely excited to express their feelings. In just half an hour, the number of topics exploded. The first episode of "Goblin", which attracted a lot of attention, became a hit even before it was aired and directly became the most talked about topic.

Even MAMA, the biggest stunt in the entertainment industry tonight, was overshadowed.

…

On the other side, the entire MAMA finally came to a successful end amidst the reluctant shouts of the audience. All the artists on the stage just rushed towards the backstage. Dozens or hundreds of people immediately crowded the not-so-wide passage. It's full.

Chi Jingyuan and EXO were among them, slowly moving forward with the second half of the crowd. Although they were impatient, they had no choice but to squeeze forward bit by bit while casually observing the people next to them. Male and female idols.

Two or three people from NCT127, the junior members of the company, happened to be walking a little to the left in front of him. Chi Jingyuan looked up casually and found that the little eyes of Li Taeyong, who was very familiar with him, kept drifting forward. He followed it forward. Look... I actually saw Lin Nalian who was doing Tao Heping...

Seeing the back of Tao Hirai who walked crookedly, Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt helpless.

As for that, I just secretly watched her on stage, and now I'm off stage and I'm still watching... Just go up and say you are her fan, why don't you ask for her contact information?

Several other members of NCT were also looking at the surrounding female idols with twinkling eyes. Everyone had just stepped off the stage and was still in a state of excitement. At this time, the whole passage was filled with excitement. It smells like a female artist.

These young children, who were participating in such a large award ceremony for the first time, were obviously dazzled by the beautiful female seniors next to them. Everyone secretly glanced at the female idols who attracted them, as if hoping for a reciprocal exchange of glances. , among them there is even one who is staring at Najing Nan...

Speaking of Mingjing Nan, Chi Jingyuan blinked and turned his head to look to his right... Xiaonan and Sun Caiying were originally a little ahead, but after squeezing, the two fell behind a lot, and unknowingly He came to Chi Jingyuan's side. Mingjing Nan walked on his right. Although she was very close, she didn't look at him. She just stood there naturally and pretty... On the contrary, Sun Chaeyoung, who was separated by a person, kept smiling towards him. Chi Jingyuan looks over here.

Feeling that NCT Nakamoto Yuta, who was walking in front, kept looking back here inadvertently, Chi Jingyuan smelled the familiar sweet smell coming from beside him, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart. He glanced at it The little girlfriend who was very close to her but was pretending, suddenly moved half a step over, leaned close to her, lowered her head and bit her ear: "...the clothes on the red carpet today are very beautiful~"

The sound hit the earlobe along with the airflow. Chi Jingyuan clearly felt Xiaonan's body pause, and at the same time, the ears of the ears turned red at an extremely fast speed.

Although she didn't look to the side, Ming Jingnan, who had been focusing on her boyfriend, suddenly shuddered when she heard the heat and sound coming from her ears. Although it was only a moment, she felt so hot in her heart that she felt shy and had a strange feeling.

...It seemed very exciting~

In her peripheral vision, she seemed to see a male idol who was secretly looking at her in front of her and looked surprised and desperate after seeing this scene... But Ming Jingnan didn't care anymore. She pretended to casually hold the hair next to her left ear with her hand, and glanced at Chi Jingyuan with a charming look.

After all, there were many people around. Ji Jingyuan raised his head quickly after whispering something, and blinked as if nothing had happened. He noticed that Sun Caiying's big eyes were staring at him in surprise. Ji Jingyuan smiled and changed the subject: "Congratulations on winning the grand prize again!"

"Hehe~" Mina, who was originally wondering what Ji Jingyuan had just done, shuddered suddenly, but after hearing this topic, Sun Caiying also laughed, showing her gap teeth and winked at Ji Jingyuan happily.

The exposure and weight of MAMA's annual song are even greater than the previous MMA. Twice, who won the grand prize, is one of the biggest winners tonight, and the members are naturally very excited and happy.

"When are you going back to Seoul?"

Ji Jingyuan looked at Ming Jingnan and asked.

"Our flight is at noon tomorrow." Ming Jingnan didn't pretend after hearing this, and looked up at him and said softly.

"Can you guys come out now tonight? Go around Hong Kong Island tonight?"

"We'll probably have a dinner party to celebrate later, but I don't know what's going to happen next, maybe..."

Just then, a voice suddenly came, Park Chanyeol squeezed over and patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder and asked: "Jingyuan, are you going back to Seoul directly?"

Helplessly, Chi Jingyuan looked at Ming Jingnan who was interrupted and still had his mouth open, and turned to look at Park Chanyeol: "Yes, I'll go back to the hotel to pack my things and fly directly to Seoul."

"What a pity~" Park Chanyeol seemed a little disappointed when he heard this, and shrugged: "I thought you were more familiar with it, and I wanted you to take us to experience the nightlife of Hong Kong Island..."

"Brother, do you need me to lead you?"

Ah...

Chi Jingyuan smiled, but cursed in his heart, I am indeed more familiar with it than you, but... Don't say this in front of Ming Jingnan, don't you see my girlfriend is next to him?

At this time, Park Chanyeol saw Ming Jingnan next to him. His expression suddenly froze, and he seemed to have realized something. Then he immediately controlled his expression and greeted Ming Jingnan with a smile: "Hey, Mina is here too."

He didn't have the airs he had when facing other juniors, and he looked very enthusiastic.

"..."

Ming Jingnan covered his mouth and smiled, and he didn't seem to care about what he had just said to Chi Jingyuan.

After being interrupted by him, there was no way to whisper anything. After a while, they walked out of the crowded passage. After Chi Jingyuan and Ming Jingnan waved goodbye, they quickly walked towards their own lounge. As soon as they entered, they rushed directly to their shoulder bag to get their mobile phones. .

"Don't worry, Jingyuan~" The assistant next to him smiled and said, "We just looked at the reviews online for a long time. The reviews of the first episode of "Goblin" are very good."

"Not only that, this popularity even surpassed MAMA." A CODY interrupted and said, "I feel it's going to explode."

"Qingjia?"

Chi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and his heart was a little relieved. With a smile, he took out his mobile phone and immediately went online to look, but he was shocked in an instant.

More than half an hour ago, he didn't see many reviews. Now, he just glanced at it and saw comments about "Goblin" everywhere. In addition, many marketing accounts have come out in a short time. From the plot to the characters to the actors, they directly analyzed this first episode from all aspects, and the popularity was extremely good.

Seeing all kinds of good reviews, especially the comments that highly recognized and appreciated his image and acting skills in the play, Chi Jingyuan's heart suddenly relaxed, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Evaluation is actually not the most important thing. What makes him feel most at ease is the topic and discussion.

Usually, after many TV dramas are broadcast, the audience's enthusiasm and interest will focus on important plot points and the main characters, and other related topics will not be very enthusiastic... Some dramas even completely ignore the female lead and discuss the second female lead.

At this time, there are really all kinds of discussions about "Goblin" on the Internet, and even speculations about his relationship with Bae Suzy... Chi Jingyuan just browsed a few websites and saw that the popularity of the first broadcast of "Goblin" has exploded, and it is even beyond his expectations.

Looking at the hot search list of Naver's several facade websites... Sister CODY is right. The popularity of "Goblin" even overshadowed MAMA, and it almost shared the top of the hot search list with MAMA.

Terms such as # MAMA # EXO won two awards again # TWCIE Song of the Year were not ranked as high as expected. The highest hot search was # EXO's "FIRE" stage was on fire...

There is also a very interesting entry #Which song in the OST of the ending song of "Ghost" made it to the top ten? It can be seen that many viewers seemed to be deeply impressed by the ending song after watching it. As a result, I searched for a long time and found nothing. arrive……

Chi Jingyuan looked at it and smiled, feeling quite proud... However, the first OST "stay with me", which he collaborated with Jung Eunji, will not be officially released until tomorrow the 3rd. The sound source and MV will be released to those who are anxious to listen to the song. Diners still have to wait for several hours.

His vision is really good. He knew from the beginning that this song would definitely be a hit... "Cheer Up" was really just an accident.

Once here, the tension and anxiety that had been worrying about grades and evaluations disappeared as quickly as the snow met the sun. Chi Jingyuan's mood suddenly became very good. He put down his phone for a while and looked happily at the members next to him. There was a lot of commotion there, excitedly celebrating the two big prizes won tonight...

"Then I'll leave first..."

After taking the certification photos and accepting the award interview, Chi Jingyuan said goodbye to the other members without waiting for them to rest, and left alone with his assistant and his bag.

Others still have to write ink for a long time, and later they have to go to dinner to celebrate and experience the nightlife of Hong Kong Island... But after he returns to the hotel to pick up his things, he will go directly to the airport to fly to Seoul.

Although I was a little disappointed not to be able to go partying together, the results of the first broadcast were excellent. People are in high spirits during happy events, and they feel light and airy when they walk. When I walked out of the lounge, I saw several rappers covered in patterns and I felt a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Just after taking a few steps out of the waiting room, he raised his head, his eyes narrowed, and his steps suddenly slowed down.

In the narrow passage, Zhou Ziyu was seen walking quickly from the opposite side with his head slightly lowered.

She was still wearing the clothes she had just worn on stage, a small white hip skirt with hollow shoulders. She wore a pair of small round-toed leather shoes under her round legs. Her dark purple hair was shawl down her shoulders, with curls permed at the end. Toss it around.

Zhou Ziyu obviously also saw Chi Jingyuan, her steps stagnated for a moment, her eyes shone with a different kind of light in confusion, and she opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something.

But soon she paused again, and closed her mouth that she had just opened. She glanced up at him and then looked directly to the side with extremely smart eyes, and her cheeks seemed to bulge slightly.

She stopped there, her little round legs and little leather shoes tightly together, but she didn't speak or say hello, and her head was deliberately turned to the side, as if she didn't want to pay attention to him, which was very embarrassing. She looked cold and handsome... but her hands were entangled in front of her, betraying her nervousness and tangled thoughts.

Seeing her awkward look, Chi Jingyuan was heartbroken and shook his head secretly. He felt that the movement behind him was not suitable for communication. He also didn't say anything. He glanced at her and continued walking forward. .

Seeing Chi Jingyuan just walk away without saying anything, Zhou Ziyu felt dark, but still stubbornly refused to look at him.

As the footsteps slowly approached, I felt more and more sad... But just as the two of them passed each other, a force suddenly hit her from the side. Chi Jingyuan actually did not avoid her, but walked past her. When he was walking, he bumped her with his right shoulder deliberately.

The unprepared Zhou Ziyu was immediately taken aback by the sudden collision of Chi Jingyuan, and her body tilted. The force seemed to be controlled just enough, not too heavy to make her fall, but not too light either. , still the collision made her stagger, and the cold and awkward expression and movements that she had just deliberately put on could no longer be maintained.

"ah……"

With a small exclamation, Zhou Ziyu quickly held her leather shoes on the wall to stand firm, and then immediately wrinkled her nose in displeasure and looked back angrily at Chi Jingyuan's quickly leaving back... After this annoying person bumped into her He didn't say anything, but instead sped up. In a flash, he sped up and was out of sight in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Ziyu snorted and patted his right shoulder that was hit. He couldn't help complaining and complaining in his heart. After pausing for a few seconds, he lowered his head and continued walking forward in a depressed manner. His face was bulging, looking like a victim.

Disgusting... so childish.

Just as he was walking, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly without realizing it.

…………

“Average 6.9%? Maximum 10.1%”

After getting off the plane, Chi Jingyuan got into the nanny car and took out his mobile phone. He immediately received a text message about the ratings from the crew.

He looked at the numbers on the screen in a daze, and then asked in great surprise: "Is this the highest ratings ever for a TV series on a cable TV station? What was the original "Reply 1988"?"

"Um..." Cui Zhichang, who was driving, felt Chi Jingyuan's excitement and wanted to echo it, but after pondering for a long time, he still said with a smile: "I don't know..."

"..."

I have been an assistant in the industry for so long and I don’t even know this... Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and searched for the query on his mobile phone. His eyes lit up when he saw the results soon: "The premiere of "1988" was 6.1%, and "The Signal" was 6.1%. ...Sure enough, the 6.9% of "Goblin" is the highest opening rating ever for a cable TV station, setting a new record!"

"Hey Yigu, it's so high!" Seeing that his drama had created a record-breaking performance in its premiere, Chi Jingyuan said to himself with a smile on his face: "If this number can be achieved at the beginning of the broadcast, it should be stable... Anyway... It can’t get lower and lower like “The K2”, haha~”

Before the show started, he predicted 5%, which is a very high number for cable TV. There are very few TV shows that can reach this number. Basically, only popular TV shows can have this hope. In fact, he would be satisfied with about 4%.

Unexpectedly, the first broadcast directly broke the record, which was completely beyond his expectations.

...Although "Signal" at the beginning of the year was also a popular drama and received high praise, as TvN's successor to "1988", it was suppressed by "1988" in all aspects. Although Ji Jingyuan and other leading actors did not say it, they actually had some thoughts in their hearts.

So when he saw that the record created by "1988" was broken, Ji Jingyuan was very excited. He happily read the comments on the Internet all the way, including the praise from fans for EXO's performance on the MAMA stage tonight. He felt that he could never get tired of it.

After returning to the crew, Ji Jingyuan felt the hot working atmosphere as soon as he came in. From the happy expressions on the faces of those staff members, it can be seen that the results of the first broadcast made everyone very satisfied.

There was no filming going on at this time. The actors in the crew were obviously doing the same thing as Chi Jingyuan just now, constantly swiping their phones to read the comments about themselves, while Lee Eung-bok, Kim Eun-sook, and the producers and other main creators gathered together, seemingly discussing the online evaluation of the first broadcast and whether to make any changes to the next filming.

When Chi Jingyuan came back, he immediately received a warm greeting.

"Jingyuan is here."

"Oh my god, our Goblin is back."

"Congratulations, XO won the grand prize again~"

Ji Jingyuan smiled and greeted everyone. When he heard the last sentence, he couldn't hold it anymore and looked at Liu Renna who said this: "Noona, did you watch MAMA?"

"Of course, I am half a music industry person... But I didn't watch all of it, I only watched XO's scenes, that "Fire" stage was really cool!" Liu Renna glanced at Ji Jingyuan: "Ji Eun often talked to me about XO."

I don't know if it's because of her temperament or something else, every time this sister glances, she has a feeling of flirting, plus her figure as a confidence, it's easy to get closer.

"Haha..." Such a straightforward compliment made Ji Jingyuan smile a little shyly, and then asked with some concern: How is IU xi recently? ”

This sister and Lee Ji-eun are well-known friends in the circle, and they are not superficial friends used for marketing and personality building, but they really have a good relationship in private.

And Ji Jingyuan is also familiar with Lee Ji-eun because of their cooperation in "Infinite Challenge" last year.

"Very good, she just sent a text message saying that she watched the premiere of our drama, and said that she would come to visit the set when she is free in a few days..." Liu Renna took out her mobile phone and shook it. Ji Jingyuan glanced at Bae Suzy who was listening next to her with a smile, and sat down next to this sister and started chatting.

"Really? When will you come?"

"When you are free in a few days... Jingyuan, do you have any friends who want to visit the set? Like... niece or something hahaha~"

"Uh... maybe there's a chance~"

While they were chatting, Lee Eung-bok and a few others came over soon. Everyone chatted for a few words in a very lively atmosphere. Finally, the director patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"...I see that many viewers on the Internet are asking about the ending song. When the OST is announced tomorrow, it will definitely become a topic..."

"...Okay, Jingyuan is back and let's continue filming, Fighting~"

...

Just as the "Goblin" crew was happily filming and the Internet was discussing it heatedly, on December 3, the OST "stay with me", which had triggered countless discussions and requests for lyrics and audio sources, was officially released on the website along with the sale of the "Goblin OST Part.1" music soundtrack.
