Chapter 69: Work harder

The scene of the first scene of "Unborn" is very simple, that is, Ji Jingyuan walked across the road, looked around and made a very unfamiliar expression when he came here for the first time, and then the phone rang and connected, and he got the news that Xu Jinshang was hiding in the Cairo Hotel from the Zhao agent who called.

But after all, it was such a long time, and the source of the pond looked a little rusty when it was filmed twice, and it was stuck two or three times in a row.

However, he quickly regained the feeling of filming, and entered the state in the somewhat surprised eyes of the surrounding crew members, and shot several shots in a row in one go.

Most of the crew's first few scenes of filming have to be filmed several times for various reasons, and there are more than a dozen times that are not smooth, such as the actors did not find the feeling, and the director felt that the taste was wrong and wanted to grind it again.

The members of the crew of "Weisheng" are also experienced experts in the industry who have filmed many TV series, and they have long been prepared for a bad start, but they didn't expect that before they could get impatient with the continuous "ng", Ji Jingyuan actually entered the filming state so quickly, and the acting was really good, Jin Yuanxi squinted his eyes and smiled as a good proof of this.

After filming the first few scenes in a row, Jin Yuanxi pulled Ji Jingyuan and a few actors to start talking about the following scenes, while some familiar crews around him got together and whispered bored, looking over there from time to time.

"I didn't expect it, but I really have a hand."

"I only heard that this kid has a very powerful background before, and I thought it was all blown out, but I didn't expect it to be a good acting."

"Originally, Ji Jingyuan's acting skills were very good, otherwise even if he was very well-connected, the crew who worked with him would not have such a good evaluation of him......

"Haven't you seen 'The Heirs'? That Jin sighed, tsk, my wife chased the drama crazy during that time......

There are still a lot of rumors about Ji Jingyuan in the TV drama circle, what is very well-connected, stealing roles, having privileges in the crew, Kim Eun-sook likes him very much, and so on.

In addition to the widely rumored incident of squeezing out Lee Min Ho to grab the role last year, rumors about his very background also flowed from time to time during filming, including some unconfirmed and amazing rumors that the luxurious jaw-dropping villa was Ji Jingyuan's own home when he was filming in LA at that time, each of which filled his body with a lot of topicality.

At the same time, he is now the only one of the representative male actors of the young generation on the entire peninsula who is still a part-time idol, which seems a little out of place among several other young actors from orthodox backgrounds, and Ji Jingyuan can also be said to be one of the best in the middle of the development.

For these reasons, some prejudices and curiosity follow him from time to time.

For example, there are many members of the crew of "Unborn" who have this situation, but after watching Chi Jingyuan's filming for a while, he can't help but have some admiration in his heart.

No matter what the rumors are and what the background is, but this eye-catching acting skill can't be faked, and it's no wonder that he once cooperated with Chi Jingyuan N denied Ren Shiwan at the production meeting, and strongly proposed that Chi Jingyuan be the actor Zhang Clay.

After all, they have already been fragrant once, and the great success of the cooperation of "Please Answer 1997" has made Chi Jingyuan N's reputation and impression very good.

After the first few scenes were filmed, it was time for the most important chase scene filmed here in Jordan.

The plot is that Zhang Clay and Zhao Agent came to the Cairo Hotel to look for Xu Jinshang, and when they checked that there was no one in the room, they thought that he had run away and was disappointed, Xu Jinshang happened to come back from outside, and the two of them came to take a look, and after both sides were stunned for two seconds, Xu Jinshang ran away, and the two chased them out directly and quickly.

Zhao Agent came up and accidentally fell, Zhang Clay chased Xu Jin on the busy old street of Amman, you chased me, hit several pedestrians on the road, and when chasing across the road, Zhang Clay was hit by the car that could not brake a few meters, and fainted on the ground for a few seconds and got up again.

After catching up the stairs to the roof, the two escaped and chased each other and even crossed the distance of two meters directly, jumping directly from the roof to the phase

In the open windows of another building next door.

Ji Jingyuan was stunned when he saw the description and sub-scenes of this tense and exciting chase and escape scene, if he hadn't told him in advance that this was the script of "Unborn", he would have thought that this was the picture of JKIE Chengcheng's movie.

"This chase and escape scene is not a one-shot scene, we will shoot it one by one. It starts at the Cairo Hotel and goes all the way here." Kim Won-seok pointed to a position in front of him, walked over and drew his finger virtually: "This first section, and then from here to the other side of the road......

"Where's the stand-in?" As he spoke, he turned to the field attendant next to him and asked.

"Over here, over here." The field manager pulled a stuntman over, he was in his twenties, except that his appearance was quite different from Chi Jingyuan, and the rest of the suits and even the release had been dressed exactly like him.

Jin Yuanxi looked back and forth at the stuntman and Ji Jingyuan, and nodded with satisfaction after finding that there was no flaw in the dress: "The pictures of the crash and jumping off the building are all shot by the stand-in, Jingyuan, you just rush to the road from here......

The director described the specific process of this scene in detail, and then several actors first tried to walk the route several times, and then started filming again after getting acquainted with it.

This kind of chase scene is the most tiring to shoot, although it is filmed in sections, and the dangerous scenes do not need to be taken by Chi Jingyuan himself, but every time you need to run with all your strength, you need to do it again when you encounter a little problem, and run again.

Although Chi Jingyuan looks good when he runs, the suit is not buttoned, and the hems on both sides of the clothes are swaying back and forth in the standard running posture, with his vigorous posture and serious expression, it looks really chic.

But running in leather shoes is also really tiring.

And the relationship between the chase and escape scene and acting skills is not very large, mainly the cooperation between the actors and the crew.

The crash scene also surprised Chi Jingyuan a little, the stuntman who played him was hit by an oncoming car, rolled back and forth on the ground several times, and actually stood up immediately without anything at all, looking really professional.

The whole afternoon was filming this chase and escape scene, and the actors and crew filmed seriously and repeatedly, and in the middle, I was too tired and panting to run and rest for a while, and then it continued quickly.

Because this scene needs to be filmed during the day and can't be filmed at night, after the sun goes down, the crew will start filming indoor scenes.

waited until close to the early hours of the evening before the crew got off work and returned to the hotel together.

"I heard from the staff who came in front of me that the security here is not very good, and there are often some troubles, especially for outsiders...... If you don't have anything to do, it's better not to go out."

After returning to the hotel, Park Jae-hyun instructed Ji Kyung-won.

The crew gave Ji Kyung-won and Park Jae-hyun a room, and two SM assistants were next door.

"I think so, too."

Chi Jingyuan nodded, standing in front of the window and looking at the night scene outside.

The night view here is much worse than in Seoul, but the exotic architecture and local snacks are really attractive to him, but he came here for filming, so it's better not to make any surprises.

After looking at the scenery for a while, I felt a little bored, and after thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan was going to send a message to his friends and chat casually, like Zhou Ziyu or something, and send her a few very characteristic photos he took during the day to open her eyes.

Bae Joo-hyun and the others seem to have been more controlled by their agents recently, and Ji Jingyuan hasn't been in contact with each other for several days.

Last time, he chatted with Zhou Ziyu until the end of the day, and he was too lazy to reply to the other party, but it is estimated that with Zhou Ziyu's character, he will not be angry, and he is used to it anyway.

As soon as he took out his mobile phone, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "What is the time difference between here and Seoul?"

"About five hours."

"Forget it, I guess they're all getting up over there." Trying to keep his mouth shut, Chi Jingyuan dispelled his thoughts, and after muttering for two seconds, he decided to rest early.

Tomorrow one

I have to get up early in the morning to continue to work, and I am really tired to death when I turn back and run this afternoon, and half my life is almost gone.

waited until the next day, and was busy until the afternoon, and the chase scene was finally filmed in the final chase in the building.

ut!」

shouted to stop the shooting, Kim Won-seok frowned and was a little annoyed, and yelled at the side: "What's going on with the drone? Can you shoot better? How many beats has it slowed down, do you know?"

The staff member who operated the drone next to him was sweating and nodded quickly.

In addition to the cameraman who followed the film, there are many shots on the roof that require the use of professional movie drones to show Zhang Clay's persistence and the fierceness of the chase from various perspectives.

Immediately afterwards, Kim Won-seok shouted again, "Take a look at the safety measures when jumping off the building, and there must be no accidents."

"Inner, Alathor."

After Ji Jingyuan and several actors rested and adjusted, they started filming again.

He rushed out of the top staircase with Xu Jin, and the top floor had been set up around the slide, and the three cameras on it were shooting at him from all directions, while the take-off drone was also shooting the back of Chi Jingyuan from top to bottom at an oblique angle in mid-air behind.

This part has been filmed several times, and Chi Jingyuan is familiar with the road and runs forward, and the pure black suit floats behind him like a cloak.

According to the script, he ran for a while, then came to the front of the steps and stood still, looked at Xu Jinshang, who was still running in front of him, took a breath, and was about to continue chasing, when he suddenly heard a scream and uproar from the side.

Obviously, there is a problem, even if the director does not shout "card" in the filming location where the sound is closed, he will definitely not be able to shoot.

Chi Jingyuan turned his head to look at the place where the uproar came from, and the people in the middle crew looked at him with some horror, and before he could figure out what the situation was, a black thing fell straight towards him from above, and when he was about to approach him, he obviously had a turning amplitude, avoiding Chi Jingyuan from a position of about a meter to his left and smashing on the ground.

The crisp sound of "bang" really startled Chi Jingyuan, and he reflexively took a step back, panting and looking at the object falling from the sky, and recognized it as the crew's drone at a glance.

"Is Jingyuan alright?"

Park Jae-hyun and the two assistants rushed over directly with a nervous face, they looked more frightened than Ji Kyung-won himself, and they were relieved to look around for a while and find that there was no problem.

Following them, Jin Yuanxi and several crew members also ran over, and they also let go of their hearts after seeing that they were not hit.

"Assi, what's going on? How could a drone suddenly fall? How did you manipulate it, don't you want to do it, and you can afford to take responsibility for hitting someone?"

After seeing that Ji Jingyuan was fine, Jin Yuanxi began to loudly reprimand the staff who controlled the drone like a lit firecracker.

He must also be very angry, after all, if the actor is not hit by the falling drone, although the height is not very high, not to mention that he will suffer multiple injuries, it will definitely affect the shooting situation on the Jordanian side.

In addition, there are many of them in order to show their posture to Ji Jingyuan and SM Company, this kind of episode is obviously a mistake of the crew, whether it is injured or not, the attitude must be shown.

If there is such a problem, the shooting must be suspended, after Park Jae-hyun angrily expressed his dissatisfaction, Kim Won-seok was angry at the person responsible, and Ji Kyung-won sat on the chair to drink water and rest, but his mood was not affected much, he was nothing but startled, and in the end he also saw that the drone was controlled to the side a lot when it was about to fall, and it was obvious that the controller took the initiative to manipulate it in the face of danger.

After a while, the reason was found out, it was a malfunction of the drone and suddenly fell, and when it was close to Chi Jingyuan, it was controlled by the staff and fell somewhere else.

The planning of the drama "Unborn" is very complete, and VJ is responsible for filming all the process from beginning to end, and all the entire unexpected process is recorded by VJ, who is responsible for shooting the tidbits.

Because it's not really out

matter, Chi Jingyuan did not mean to pursue it, and after a series of reprimands and apologies, this unexpected episode can be regarded as over.

It is relatively common for the crew to encounter this kind of small accident during filming, whether it is in the filming of "Please Answer" or "The Inheritors", Chi Jingyuan has encountered it several times, because the episode has also been a small hanging color, and it can be regarded as having experience, so he is used to it.

Next, it entered the tense filming session, and after this accident, the whole crew suddenly cheered up, and the efficiency seemed to have become a lot faster.

In the next few days, under the serious work of the crew and actors, all the framing and shooting tasks were completed ahead of the original plan, and it took only three days and less than four days to complete the filming in Jordan.

The crew also boarded a plane to Bangkok on the 25th, preparing to return to the peninsula after a connecting flight.

…………

When Ji Jingyuan was working nervously over there, the others were not idle, redvelvet, who had debuted for less than a month, was conscientiously recording every singing stage every week, even if the performance of the singing was very poor, and they were far from an alternate, every time they stood in front of the last row, they couldn't be photographed by a single camera.

Because the singing show is one of the few programs where they can show their faces on TV now.

Since their debut, Redvelvet has not been well-known on the Internet, on the contrary, it can be said that the popularity is quite high, but 90% of them are scolding them.

Diametrically opposed to the popularity, they have very few announcements, there are very few variety shows, and they have recorded a few radio programs since their debut, and none of the popular variety shows can be launched, even if they go, they will only show their faces on the background board, which is meaningless at all.

There aren't even a few commercial performances for various reasons.,At this time, their state is a bit like EXO that was refrigerated not long after their debut.,The members spend a lot of time in the dormitory and practice room.,It's like they didn't debut.。

However, Ryder Beibei was even more miserable, at least at that time, XO commercial performances could still receive some, and there were also advertisements for Chi Jingyuan to continue to provide exposure.

So now they are left to sing.

Today, a few people went to work to prepare for the recording of the music center, and before their rehearsal order arrived, Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Shiqi did not stay in the lounge, but stood by the window of the stairwell and were talking.

At this time, the two of them had already put on stage costumes, one pink hair, one yellow hair, and two hair ends, and the same makeup stood together like sisters.

"Alas, I haven't been in contact with Jingyuan for a long time, and I don't know how his TV series is filming, so I went to Jordan to film, right? I've never been to a country in the Middle East."

Leaning against the wall, Jiang Shiqi looked up the stairs, and while chatting, he mentioned Chi Jingyuan.

"I should be back soon." Bae Joo-hyun pursed her mouth and replied, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Hui Yingoni didn't let us use our mobile phones out of kindness, after all, it's ...... online now."

When she knew that Ji Jingyuan was back filming and played the leading role, Bae Joo-hyun was still very happy for him, but then for some reason, seeing the hot discussion on the Internet, and seeing Ji Jingyuan's popularity and popularity like the sky, she faintly felt a very inexplicable sense of awkwardness in her heart.

Just like she once said in a message from an XO fan she once saw by chance, the two people don't seem to be in the same world.

She can't say why, obviously she never felt this way before her debut.

Bae Joo-hyun didn't finish speaking, but the two of them must have understood in their hearts.

It's just that now the Internet is full of scolding them, most of them are fans of SM company's predecessors, Girls' Generation, fx, EXO and the like, and even because the trend has risen, even passers-by who don't know them have to follow the trend, otherwise it seems that they can't keep up with the trend.

As long as you open the forum, you can always see these messages and black comments, in this case, even Jiang Shiqi and Sun Shengwan, who have a good temper and mentality, are very angry and sad, not to mention Bae Joo-hyun and Park so-young.

One is that the captain and the oldest members like to hold back

In my heart, I am competing, and one is a relatively young person, and my temperament is a little anxious at this time, and my ability to bear it is also a little poor.

In the past few days, the agent has not often sent them mobile phones to use at night as some time ago, and the mobile phones have been under control during this time, and they will only use them for a while every few days.

The two of them were a little silent when they talked about this.

Before their debut, they secretly thought about what their mood would be after the group became popular, and what smile they should use to face fans, and they secretly practiced several autographs in private.

But no one expected that the debut that they had been looking forward to for so many years would be such a reality after it was realized.

The gap between dreams and reality is too big to accept, full of cruel coldness, and even a bit of black humor-like comedy.

The two of them thought quietly for a while, Bae Zhuhyun walked to the window and looked out casually, suddenly paused, stopped there and looked at it with some hesitation, and after a few seconds, he said to Jiang Shiqi who was not very sure: "Look over there, it seems to be our fan."

"How is it possible, where are our fans coming from now......" Although Jiang Shiqi denied it with self-deprecation, she still walked to the window and followed her to look over.

The two of them leaned at the window, expecting and worrying, and the fan base lingering outside looked over.

A few fans over there seemed to have noticed the two of them a long time ago, and they were enthusiastically waving their arms to this side, their mouths still moving as if they were saying something.

"Seems so." Bae Joo-hyun showed a faint smile, and after saying a word, he waved his hand tentatively over there, and found that the rice was even more excited after seeing it, bouncing and waving his arms happily at the redvelvet two, and the screams could be heard even if they were quite far away, obviously they were their fans.

"We actually have fans......

The two men smiled and looked at each other, and although they didn't speak, they saw the meaning of each other's eyes.

A warm current and a sense of surprise emerged from my heart, and the two of them who were quite disappointed just now laughed happily unconsciously, and kept saying hello happily to their rare fan group by the window.

In addition to making money, this feeling of being supported by fans who like you is really fascinating, which is the biggest reason why so many people choose to be an idol and work hard for it, and it is also one of the real values of this profession.

"I must work hard next time I return." The two played by the window for a long time before reluctantly returning to the lounge, and when they reminisced about the feeling just now on the way, Jiang Shiqi suddenly sighed.

Bae Joo-hyun stroked the ends of her pink hair, revealing her reddish ears, nodded and said seriously:

"Definitely."

…………

After another transfer and more than 20 hours of sailing, the crew of "Unborn" finally returned to the peninsula on the morning of the 26th.

Previously, when the contract was signed, SM Company had already communicated with the crew, and would stagger the schedule and filming schedule, so that Ji Jingyuan had enough time to participate in personal itineraries, such as EXO's first concert tour and very important advertisements that could not be pushed off, such as LG.

Of course, even if it is staggered, when the time comes, the filming task will be very close to Chi Jingyuan after the TV series is broadcast, and as long as there is a personal trip, he will basically work overtime after he comes back, which is unavoidable, and he has already been mentally prepared.

However, it can be a little easier before the broadcast, because there is still more than a month before the premiere on October 17, and there is plenty of time in terms of their progress and the amount of filming they need.

After saying goodbye to the crew, Ji Jingyuan first went back to the dormitory to pack up the things he brought, and then hurried back to the company, and after exchanging a few words with Lee Seung-hwan, he hurriedly joined the EXO that had been regrouped, and took advantage of this time to practice together.

The next concert will be tomorrow on the 27th, and Chi Jingyuan, who has just landed tonight, will fly to Xia Guosha City with the team.

The trapeze is no different.

Although the concert process and stage he has practiced countless times before

I have muscle memory, but it's true that I haven't danced for almost a week, so it's still necessary to practice together.

During the break between exercises, several members sat on the floor of the practice room sweating profusely, drinking water while chatting about the news that had just been exposed two days ago:

"Are you saying that Kim Hyun-joong is true or false......?"
