Chapter Seventy-Five: A Bunch of Idiots
"Do you have time tonight?" Come out and drink!"
Sunny didn't even say hello when he called, so he sent an invitation very directly.
However, her tone and tone felt a little low in Chi Jingyuan's ears, and she was obviously not in a very good mood.
Unlike Kim Tae-yeon, who is addicted to alcohol, Sunny has a good amount of alcohol, but he hasn't called Ji Kyung-won to drink a few times after knowing him for so long, and this time he must have encountered something when he suddenly called.
"Nuna is so interested today...... Chi Jingyuan chuckled and didn't refuse: "There is time, but by the time I finish filming today, it is estimated that it will be late in the morning, I don't know ...... Nuna."
"Okay, then at this time, tell me when you finish work today, and I'll send you the address." Without waiting for Ji Jingyuan to finish speaking, Sunny took the initiative to interrupt and settled down directly.
"OK, see you later." After making an appointment, Chi Jingyuan hung up the phone and didn't go back directly, but stood where he was and thought for a while.
Sunny is the first artist he met when he came to the company, and he is very familiar with it now, mainly because the two people have more personalities and often know what each other is thinking when they look at each other, and the two are also very pure friends and siblings, without any other factors, so it is natural to get along, and there are not so many evasions.
It's a really good feeling.
So she shouted that Chi Jingyuan came out for a meal and a drink or something, and she didn't even look for an excuse to shout directly, Chi Jingyuan would definitely agree if she had time, and when she encountered this kind of other party, she would take the time to pay attention to it when she was obviously not free.
I just don't know what the situation is that makes Ji Jingyuan's heart have always been more settled, and the sunny seniors who have seen everything more thoroughly have become in a bad mood and need to talk to someone.
However, when we meet at night, it will naturally be clear.
After Ji Jingyuan made up his mind, he walked back quickly, and continued to sit in place and eat the fried noodles that he didn't finish just now, while listening to several crew actors next to him talk about the hottest news recently.
Recently, the peninsula entertainment industry doesn't know if it's cursed or something wrong, it's really a scandal during this time, not long ago, Kim Hyun-joong, Song Hye Kyo's news has just gone down a little, and two days ago, Lee Byung-hun's blackmail scandal was exposed.
According to media reports, not long ago, Kim Dahee, a member of the girl group GLAM, and her model friend Lee Ji-yeon blackmailed Lee Byung-hun, a well-known actor on the peninsula, in an attempt to get a hush money of 5 billion won.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked the entire peninsula entertainment circle.
After attracting countless attention, those large and small media also began to flock to report, and within two days, the details of the incident were dug up.
It is said that one day in August this year, Kim Dahee, Lee Ji-yeon and Lee Byung-hun had a party in a very private place, some said it was KTV and Lee Ji-yeon's family, but this is not the point.
Anyway, I just need to know that it's very private.
While they were drinking and chatting, Li Bingxian said some obscene and very image-affecting things to them, and asked a lot of very provocative questions.
And he happened to be secretly recorded by two women with mobile phones, and asked Lee Byung-hun for money afterwards, threatening to put the video on the Internet if he didn't give money.
It's just that Li Bingxian is really strong enough, so he immediately told the brokerage company, discussed it, and then called the police and arrested the two women directly.
As soon as the news came out, the people were surprised, and what they were most curious about was what Li Bingxian said that could rise to the level of being blackmailed and silenced.
You must know that Li Bingxian, who has been in Hollywood, is one of the most successful elders in the peninsula film and television industry, his image has always been very good, and after he got married last year, he has always appeared in front of the public as a good husband and a good man, which makes many passers-by have a good impression of him.
After digging deeply, the video of Lee Byung-hun being filmed was finally exposed in elA's news program "News TOP10", in which he asked several questions in a YD tone.
For example, "When was your first experience?" How does it feel
What is it?".
"Which is more important, looks or time?"
"You see which part of me will be more excited......" and other direct and obscene words.
After these videos and dialogues were exposed, countless people were shocked, and the filter of Lee Byung-hun's actor and good man was shattered.
Although he was very tough to send the two blackmail female artists in, but his image was also greatly hit, and the public's impression of him suddenly plummeted, and the words he said on the video screen in the past few days have become a popular phrase for some old men when they drink in private.
"Anyway, Lee Byung-hun has been a long time? I'm so old now, I must have taken medicine."
"'What do you think I'm excited about?' If it's me, I think he has a good nose......
In the past two days, Chi Jingyuan has often heard the staff in the crew talking about this matter with a smile while smoking, and the tone is playful and YD, several middle-aged VJs and field staff glanced at each other, and the greasy energy came out all at once.
Lee Byung-hun unknowingly became a middle-aged friend.
The staff of those crews chatted unscrupulously in private, but Chi Jingyuan, who is also an actor, couldn't be so presumptuous, just casually talked about this matter and expressed their opinions.
And to be honest, although the relationship between each other is good on the surface, they are not very familiar with each other, and I don't know which person has a heart to pass it out, and I offend people unconsciously when I hear it in people's ears.
Chi Jingyuan, who was quite interested, also went to check the information of the girl group GLAM, and was surprised to find that the operating company of this girl group was actually bighit, a BTS company, and it was the first girl group operated by bighit.
BTS hasn't eased up because of what happened to Wu before, and now GLAM has come out with this blackmail gate, this economic company is really similar to SM, and it is a bit unfavorable.
After dinner, the crew restarted filming, after this period of intense filming, the recent progress is very good, and now it is almost the first few episodes before the official broadcast have been filmed, but there is still a lot of post-production work left, among which Ji Jingyuan has a lot of narration that needs him to dub in person after editing.
Because the progress is very gratifying, and there are nearly 20 days left before the official start of the broadcast, the time has suddenly become a little abundant, since yesterday, I haven't been busy until two or three o'clock in the morning like before, and recently the crew will end work at almost 12 o'clock.
At half past twelve, Ji Jingyuan officially finished work, and after saying goodbye to the others with a smile, he went directly to the parking lot.
"Are you going back?" The assistant in the driver's seat, Choi Ji-chang, looked back at him and asked, while Park Jae-hyun, who was in the co-pilot, looked at Ji Jingyuan's recent schedule and did not speak.
"Don't go back yet, wait a minute......
Chi Jingyuan started to operate and quickly sent a message without looking up. Soon received a reply from Sunny.
When he looked at the address, Ji Jingyuan smiled, showing that it was the barbecue restaurant where he and Sunny first met and ate.
"Brother, this address." Chi Jingyuan leaned over the phone and gave it to Cui Zhichang, and after the other party looked at it seriously, he nodded, said "Got it" and started the car directly.
Seoul Plaza is still a little far from SM Company, but it is getting late, and there are not many cars on the road, and it didn't take long to get to the alley of the barbecue restaurant.
"Brother, let's go have some supper first, I guess it will take a long time here." Before getting out of the car, Chi Jingyuan thought about it and turned around and admonished.
"Got it, let's wait and find a place to park next to it and get something to eat, Jingyuan, you just send a message when you're done." Park Jae-hyun gestured "OK" and watched Ji Kyung-won leave and walk towards the agreed place.
After walking a few steps, Chi Jingyuan stood at the door of the barbecue restaurant called DanCook, looking at the familiar signboard, and suddenly felt some inexplicable feelings in his heart.
Retracted his gaze and walked back to the store, although the lights were still bright, but at this time the lobby was already inside
There were no guests, and the boss who was waiting at the front desk recognized him at a glance after seeing Ji Jingyuan who was not wearing a mask, and hurriedly walked out and greeted him with a smile: "Jingyuan Xi, come to find Shungui, she is in that box, waiting for you for a while."
"Ne, Consanmida." Chi Jingyuan smiled and nodded, and under the leadership of the other party, he came to the box to speak, knocked lightly on the door, pushed it open and walked in.
It's still the small box, Sunny is sitting in the middle of the table at this time and is rummaging through his mobile phone, after hearing the sound, he looked up at Chi Jingyuan who walked in, raised his chin at him as if he had said hello, stretched out his finger and pointed to the seat in front of him to signal him to sit casually, and at the same time looked at the boss at the door: "Ernie, let's serve the food, the wine will also come up directly, just follow what I just ordered."
Sunny is wearing light yellow short sleeves with denim shorts, a little makeup on his face to cover up his blemishes, the sparse air on his forehead is slanted to the left, and a ponytail is tied behind his head, which looks quite casual and natural.
"Okay." After the boss answered, he quickly went to work.
The dishes must have been prepared in advance, and soon the cart next to the box was full of meat and vegetables, and a new charcoal fire was added to the oven on the table, and the whole room became hot at once.
"I guess you're hungry at this late night, so you don't bother to go to the bar." Sunny put down his phone and glanced at Ji Jingyuan a few times, seemingly interested in his hairstyle with heavy bangs.
Saying that, she casually picked up the fast child and pointed to the dish next to her: "I have already ordered something just now, you can see if there is anything else you want to eat, just say it."
"It's good." Chi Jingyuan glanced around and nodded in satisfaction: "The crew ate a little early in the evening, I was starving to death when I was filming just now, and Nuna really understood me."
Although Sunny was more determined, the gloomy aura on his body was clearly felt by Chi Jingyuan, but he didn't take the initiative to say anything, and the two of them ate together after pouring wine, casually chatting about recent things.
"How's the filming going? I don't think it's very optimistic on the Internet." A few pieces of pork belly were placed on the grill, and Sunny took the quick child and tinkered with it, asking without raising his head.
"They are not optimistic about it, and before the broadcast of "The Inheritors" last year, we were all looking down on the identities of several of our leading actors, and I didn't know what the scolding was like at that time...... These people don't understand at all, so they will follow suit."
At this time, Chi Jingyuan had no concealment and taboos, and said some big truths in his heart very casually: "I think it's pretty good to be in the group for so long, whether it's the script, the actors, or even the level of the director and screenwriter, the level of the main creators is OK, and the ratings should be able to meet expectations."
"If this "Unborn" is popular, then haven't you exploded three TV series in a row?"
Looking up at Chi Jingyuan in surprise, Sunny raised his wine glass and made a gesture, "Then I'll congratulate you in advance, Actor Chi."
"Then I'll thank you in advance." Chi Jingyuan smiled and raised his glass to touch her, and the two looked at each other and laughed before drinking it all.
After putting down the wine glass, Sunny pondered for a few seconds, as if considering what to say, and looked at it with a more serious expression, "How are you XO doing after that luhan quit?"
Chi Jingyuan poured the wine to the full: "What's how? Are we the members themselves? Or is it a company's arrangement? Or a fan?"
"Let's talk about it, I'm quite interested." Sunny took the initiative to give Ji Jingyuan a quick meat and looked at him with a smile.
"In our own words, the atmosphere of the group was very bad in those days, including me, I actually felt a little uncomfortable inside, both a feeling of betrayal, and sadness for the departure of a friend who knew me very well, and then the other two members of the Xia Kingdom line were excluded because of this incident, or isolated for a few days, but then it slowly got better."
"It's just that the crack has been created, and even if it sticks to the surface, it's still hollow inside."

After wrapping it up and eating it, he sighed comfortably, and then said, "As for the company, from then on, in addition to the important stage, our group activities have basically been suspended, and the members are running for personal money, and I don't know when the next return will be."
"As for the fans...... Nuna, you're sure to have seen those controversies, the fans were divided, and we ran a lot of fans, not to mention Luhna's original meal."
"........." Sunny raised his glass and drank another glass of beer, but he didn't control his strength when he put it down, and the bottom of the cup collided with the table with a muffled sound.
Ji Jingyuan glanced at her and didn't speak.
Her face changed for a moment, and finally she sighed, stared at the cup she was still holding and said with some emotion, "I really didn't expect that I comforted you because of this matter some time ago, and now we have actually fallen to this point."
"Someone from Girls' Generation is leaving the group?" Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan understood what she meant in seconds, and the fast man who was turning the meat on the oven stopped suddenly, and looked at the other party in surprise with his eyes open, and his tone was unbelievable.
He also thought that he had misunderstood, Girls' Generation had only announced the renewal of their contracts two days ago, and the ecstatic celebratory posts of their fans can still be seen on the Internet now.
The sound is still there, it's only been a few days and you're telling me that someone is leaving the group?
"It's not finalized yet, but I think it's not going to be a few days before we get to this situation." Sighing, Sunny took the initiative to pour the wine again, and when he poured it, he suddenly chuckled and looked up, "Do you want to guess who is leaving the group."
"Uh-huh......
After pondering for a few seconds, Ji Jingyuan blinked and looked at the other party, and tentatively said a name: "Lin Yun'er senior?"
"Poof......
Sunny, who had been laughing just now, was either a little bitter or had no emotion, and this time he really laughed uncontrollably, frowning and complaining angrily: "No, Jingyuan, do you hate Yun'er so much, and have such a big opinion about her?"
"How is it possible, I'm Yun'er's senior's meal, isn't this Nuna, you asked me to guess." Some innocently shrugged their shoulders, and Chi Jingyuan righteously revealed his identity as Yunfan.
"Too lazy to pay attention to you......" Glancing at him, Sunny chattered lightly on the oven with a quick son, and the smile just now disappeared, and suddenly became a little excited, and after a few seconds, she said calmly, "It's Zheng Xiuyan."
"Jessa-senpai?" After chewing on the name, Chi Jingyuan didn't think of it.
Because of his relationship with Zheng Xiujing, although he and Zheng Xiuyan are not very familiar with each other, their impression is quite good, and Zheng Xiuyan does not seem to be the kind of player who will think about running away by himself.
And this year, Zheng Xiuyan and Zheng Xiujing's program combination J&a;a; K is very popular, and the sister group he filmed is also quite popular, he seems to have mentioned that the company is ready to get a temporary combination of sisters for them because of the high response and popularity.
Why did you suddenly have to leave the group?
"It's not like she's going to leave on her own, she guesses she still doesn't feel it yet." Sunny took another sip of his drink. He pursed his lips as if he was organizing language.
But after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't straighten out his head, and Sunny, who has always been quite ruled, spoke a little messily at this time: "I don't know how to say the specific reason, and it's not easy to say it in depth...... Anyway, it's a lot of things...... Now there are some big contradictions that can't be reconciled, and they're almost to the point where you don't have me in gangs......
"The company also has problems, Zheng Xiuyan herself has big problems, others also have problems, and so am I, anyway, it's all the same, there are no good people......
"I don't know how it came to be......
Even though he said something that was difficult to understand without a preamble and a follow-up, Chi Jingyuan still put down his fast words and listened very carefully.
He suddenly noticed that Sunny had been fiddling with the oven and turning the meat over from the time he started eating, but he hadn't eaten a bite until now, and had been drinking.
Chi Jingyuan can feel the sadness, disappointment, and deep helplessness of the other party, whether it is for the members, the company, or even himself.
It's also quit the group, but it's been 7 years since Girls' Generation debuted, and the nine members have come over together, and they don't know how many times they quarreled and contradicted each other, but they still came to this day, and I thought they could go together until the end and become the eternal myth of the Peninsula girl group.
Unexpectedly, when the contract was just renewed, and when I was about to set sail again to try to return to the top, it came to an abrupt end.
Although it doesn't seem to have really happened yet.
After being silent for a while, Chi Jingyuan smiled and poured a full wine quilt and raised it, pouting in the face of the other party's gaze: "Otherwise, we are all members of a group airborne line, this kind of thing is one after the other, and I don't know if this coincidence is good or bad."
「…… Of course that's not good," Sunny skimmed his thick lips as well, his expression disgusted, but he raised his glass with a smile on his face and drank it up.
What will happen to Girls' Generation after Zheng Xiuyan quits Ji Jingyuan didn't ask, he didn't say much about some comforting words, he felt that Sunny didn't need any comfort, she actually saw it all through, and she knew it all in her heart better than anyone else.
He knew that the other party called him over for a drink today, just to find a friend who was closer and would not leak 100% to vent the gloom in his heart and the negative emotions that gathered together and needed to be confided urgently.
After talking for a long time, Sunny seemed to have let go of a lot, not only drinking, but also stuffing several servings of barbecue into his mouth in a row, and eating a mouth full of oil as if he was venting, Chi Jingyuan, who had been hungry for a long time in the crew, was not as fast as she ate, so hard.
But apparently her letting go is only superficial.
Because it didn't take long for Sunny to look a little drunk while eating and drinking.
Chi Jingyuan remembered that this sister's alcohol consumption was very good, although she had drunk several bottles of beer since the beginning, but in terms of her amount, it should only be ase, not at all.
But that's the way it is, Sunny who has a good amount of alcohol is already drunk at this point.
She didn't seem to see the oil stains on the tabletop, and directly pillowed her left arm and lay down, holding an empty glass in her right hand, and kept smashing the tabletop with a "bang" sound, like a child.
It's not very hard, but the sound is deep.
The drunken Sunny seems to be a little out of shape, even though he is lying on the table in a daze, his mouth is uncharacteristically chattering and scolding.
The sound was not loud, intermittent and a little lake, but Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting quietly opposite, could hear it clearly:
"Is Cui Xiuying sick? What does it have to do with her doing well in her career, and the family conditions are not bad, so jealous of others? I also brought my parents to the company to make trouble, Xiba is really sick......
"Zheng Xiuyan is also an idiot, she thinks that by saying a few good words and expressing her attitude, others will support her? Is it so easy to figure out such a thing as interest? I'm so old and so naïve, and I don't take my girlhood seriously anymore when I engage in my career, and I deserve to be kicked out......."
"Kim Tae-yeon, you are a captain who takes the lead in a small group, and you don't have a position to know that you are in harmony, you can do whatever the company says, what's the use of you......
"And Lin Yun'er, who is usually so smart, sees through in his heart, but no one can be offended, and he knows to play dead next to him......
"And Kwon Yoo-ri, Kim Hyo-yeon......
"And me, and Lee Soon-gyu......
"A bunch of idiots, no good guys......"
