Chapter 82: Pick-up

The producer's strong confidence in Chi Kyung-won really made these reporters look at each other.

What do you mean by 'even if this drama fails, the most suitable one is still Chi Jingyuan'?

The reporters below were in a state of scolding.

That is, this drama has not been broadcast yet, if it has been broadcast and really failed, you will not be ashamed to say such things.

Chi Jingyuan on the side pursed his lips and kept smiling after hearing it, but in his heart he felt that the producer, who usually doesn't talk much, was really good enough to say, and he spared no effort for publicity.

"Li PD is right, when we had a meeting, Jing Yuan's first reaction was indeed Jingyuan."

Jin Yuanxi, who was on the side, took the microphone, lifted down his black-framed glasses and nodded in approval: "But in fact, I still had doubts in my heart at the beginning...... Later, Jingyuan and I met in private and had a meal together, and when I came back, I said to Li PD......"

He looked at Li Zaiwen next to him, and the two smiled at each other: "I said that this character must be him, it's just him." ”

"Isn't pdnim too exaggerated, why haven't I heard of this paragraph?" Without waiting for the reporter below to react, Chi Jingyuan looked over and smiled bitterly, feeling that he was a little too high by these two PDs.

I don't know what Ren Shiwan's mood will be when he sees this scene.

"Yes, PD don't be so eccentric, is it only Jingyuan so important? And how many of us? Li Xingmin next to him was dissatisfied and coaxed: "How do I remember that you said the same thing when you chose me to play?" So everyone is the same set of rhetoric? ”

"Hahaha......" Kim Won-seok laughed, shook his hand and pointed at them without speaking.

The reporters below also laughed, and the atmosphere in the venue became a little lively.

After asking a few questions to the director and producer, and they also said some secrets in preparation, the reporters shifted their attention to Ji Jingyuan:

"Jing Yuan xi, your "Inheritors" was a big hit last year, and Jin Si's influence spread all over Asia, but you haven't starred in a TV series for nearly a year since then, and the script invitation sent to you by the industry is rumored to have not been broken, why have you not continued filming?" A bespectacled female reporter stood up and stared at Chi Jingyuan with burning eyes.

He had answered this question many times before, and after a short pause, he took the microphone and said naturally: "Because in addition to being an actor, I am mainly active as a member of EXO, and the group's schedule has been very busy since the beginning of this year, and there has not been much time, plus the company has its own plans and arrangements for my career as a whole." ”

"After being busy some time ago, I entered a gap period, and I just saw the script of "Unborn" when I was with the company, and I liked it as soon as I saw it.

"Are you saying that you took this show because you liked it, not because SM company chose it for you?" The female reporter found exactly the point in her words.

"Inside, I liked this drama very much and took the initiative to propose it to the company." Ji Jingyuan nodded in confirmation.

"Will there be some pressure to disagree with the company on the left?"

"Of course not......"

Shrugging his shoulders as he should be, Ji Jingyuan blinked his eyes downward: "On the contrary, this has greatly increased my confidence in this drama, you should know ......"

"Hahaha......"

The SM film and television department is really famous, and when I heard that this was not only a reporter, but several leading actors next to me couldn't help but laugh along.

"We looked at the cast, and you became the leading actor as the youngest member, was it challenging for you to shoot this film?"

"Of course, this group is like a workplace drama, the crew attaches great importance to acting skills when selecting actors, and the other seniors who participated in the show are all very experienced and powerful actors, such as Li Xingmin's predecessors, Jiang Sulaxi, etc., I was a little rusty at the beginning because I hadn't filmed for a long time, but I quickly entered the state with their help."

"Then what do you think are the characteristics of the play "Unborn"?"

"Because it's a workplace drama that's very rare in Al Jazeera, we hope that 'Unborn' can make some additions to the Al Jazeera TV series. I also had no previous experience working in a club, so it was a very new experience for me, something I had never experienced before. ”

"Consanmida."

…………

The press conference of "Unborn" lasted for more than an hour, and the leading actors were asked a lot of questions, but the focus and core of the propaganda was still Chi Jingyuan himself who was most besieged by reporters.

The entire cast has the most attention to him in terms of popularity and attention, and a third of the press conference was devoted to asking questions about him.

But other people don't have any opinions, this situation has been rehearsed in the internal meeting of the crew before, and this is also the treatment that a leading actor should have.

Today I said a lot of interesting things about casting and filming, but there is no really eye-catching big news at all, and it is a very normal press conference from beginning to end, and it is unknown how much publicity effect it can have.

To this day, thanks to TVN's special project and gimmicks such as Ji Kyung-won playing the leading role, the drama "Unborn" has been discussed quite a lot on the Internet since it was released, but because the genre of workplace dramas is inherently not as wide as idol dramas, and the original comic of "Unborn" is actually not very popular, the opinion of this drama has always been mixed.

However, relatively speaking, it is still mostly good, and the fans that come with EXO and Yuan alone can form a high traffic, and the biggest black spot is because the type of this drama is an extremely rare workplace drama on the peninsula, and there has never been a precedent for workplace dramas to become popular in the history of the film and television industry.

It seems that Peninsula people naturally don't like to watch this type of TV series, which is the biggest reason why many people watch "Unborn".

But no matter what the opinion, people also recognize the acting skills of several leading actors.

Needless to say, a highly qualified acting school like Li Xingmin, Jiang Sura is also a highly promising and powerful young actress because of a "Sunshine Sisters", and Ji Jingyuan, who was born in idol, only used two plays to change the previous public's habitual disapproval of idol actors, and established the impression of the most representative and powerful actor of his younger generation.

In the past two years, he has taken every step on the road of being an actor quickly and steadily, and he has achieved the current effect with only two plays, while Yuna's predecessors have not made the audience reverse their prejudice against her idol identity in five or six years, and most of them are still positioned as vases when they take over the plays.

But to be honest, Ji Jingyuan took the time to watch a lot of Lin Yuner's TV series for various reasons, with her appearance and her own popularity and topicality, even if it is a vase, it should be a relatively advanced one, and her acting skills are slowly improving. But to this day, they still can't get rid of the shackles of idol and even become a poison for ratings, and there are many reasons why their company's vision of taking over dramas is really flattering.

What is that "zongli and me", Ji Jingyuan can't stand it as Yunfan.

Garbage SM, it really delayed my Yun'er senior.

After today's press conference, tvn will officially start to release a variety of materials, including a total of nine versions of the "Unborn" promotional film that has been filmed before, and several small press conferences will be held in the next few days to warm up, as well as a series of supporting activities to promote.

The investment of various resources shows that they really attach enough importance to this special project of "Unborn", if this drama fails, it will be a big blow to the TV station and the leading actors such as Ji Jingyuan.

However, including the actors, the confidence of the entire crew is still quite strong.

After the press conference, Ji Jingyuan accepted several private interviews and then returned to the crew to shoot until the evening, and today's work came to an end, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he got into the nanny car and prepared to return to the dormitory.

Because the filming of "Unborn" started early enough, all the scenes in the first few episodes have been filmed and edited, and Ji Jingyuan has also been narrated.

The workload of these two days has been much less, and the focus of this last week is on publicity.

At this time, Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting in the nanny car, was watching the discussion on the Internet about the issue of "The Taetiseo" that was broadcast on the 7th.

Originally, the ratings of TTS's group variety were not very high, and most of their own fans have been watching it since the broadcast.

Although the three of them are very open on it and show a lot of interesting personalities, but generally speaking, they belong to the kind of food they like very much, but the discussion can't be spread outside, and they can only enclose their own fans to variety shows.

However, after the broadcast of this episode on October 7, it suddenly became one of the hot topics of discussion on the Internet in the past two days, and the most interesting thing for fans and passers-by was Ji Kyung-won, who participated in the show as Kim Taeyeon's good relative, and many people were very surprised that these two people had such a good relationship.

Girls' Generation and EXO haven't been very communicative, except for the occasional meal shot, you can see the two groups greeting each other, and there is not much interaction except for some polite rea, and Ji Kyung-won and Kim Taeyeon are also well-known in their respective fan groups for being lazy to socialize and not easy to get close to people.

The kind of close and good friends that these two people showed in this episode of the show really surprised many fans, but at the same time, they were actually quite happy in their hearts.

"Wow, double burden ecstasy! I, a fan who has always liked childhood and exo, am really happy to see this issue! And it just so happens that in these two combinations, my meal happens to be Taeyeon and Yuan!

Taeyeon's phone call was muffled, but I could instantly hear it being Yuan's voice, do you know how surprised I was when I watched it? ”

"The popularity of the two TOP groups is a good relationship, and their performance in the show can be seen at a glance that it is really a good relationship, not acting, what kind of fairy friendship is this?"

"Well, though...... EXO shouldn't be a TOP group now, right? It was indeed very close before, but now that Luhan has retired from the team, the upward momentum has slowed down all of a sudden, and whether he can reach the top depends on the next return...... I don't mean anything else, although I'm sone, I also like yuan......"

"Taeyeon, this woman is really a fairy treasure girl, she looks like she has a very narrow social circle and doesn't like to socialize, but pulling out a family is such a weighty artist as Yuan, whether it is an idol or an actor in the younger generation, there should be no more successful than Ji Jingyuan...... This damn charm, I really don't like the wrong person! ”

"It was really sad that the year of XO's debut, and Elie expressed her gratitude to Taeyeon Oni for taking care of Wuli Yuan Oba during that time."

"The sisters who have quit the group for so many years can still laugh so happily in variety shows? Can you give a specific reply? ”

"Kim Taeyeon of Seogba, she took the lead in squeezing out our Sika, and now she is taking the initiative to seduce Nianxia, looking at her like that is really shameless......"

"Has anyone noticed Yuan's ringtone? Why is Yuan's ringtone the song of which parrot girl group? Can such an ugly song be used as a mobile phone ringtone? I guess it must have been arranged by SM to take the opportunity to let them show their faces and publicize it, it's really disgusting, when will it be disbanded? ”

Other aspects of this issue, including Paula and Sowoo as friends of Seo Hyun and Hwang Mi-young, did not attract much attention, but the exposure of Kim Taeyeon and Ji Kyung-won's parent-close relationship really attracted a lot of attention, and in addition to fans, even passers-by couldn't help but click in to take a look at this kind of news.

Girls' Generation's super national degree, Kim Taeyeon's own image that is very popular with the people, coupled with Ji Jingyuan's super popularity and topicality, and a very good public image, the sum of the two has a very good effect, making the clicks and discussions of this variety show more than the sum of the previous episodes.

At the same time, it has also brought a lot of attention to TTS, which is in the return period

TTS's comeback this time is not very successful, although the title song "Holler" has won a total of four places so far, but the results of the sound source are really average, except for the explosion of the first song to be topped by fans, it began to decline all the way in less than two days.

However, sales are still the strength of the young time, as of yesterday, more than 120,000 copies have been sold, and the sales of a small team have crushed other first-line girl groups.

I feel that their sales and music sources are reversed, and they look like a boy group.

According to the G list, the sales of TTS's mini album have been steadily stabilized after the variety show on the 7th, and there has been a significant rebound since the next day, and it has been slowly increasing with the spread of popularity.

I don't know how many of them bought the TTS album because of Chi Jingyuan's relationship, which can be regarded as supporting her Oba's good relatives.

This morning, Ji Jingyuan also received a text message from Kim Taeyeon, she couldn't help but intercept a few rainbow fart messages praising her on the Internet, and what kind of 'fairy friendship' pictures were sent, and Ji Jingyuan could imagine the appearance of this sister holding a pillow and covering her head and laughing wildly.

Then she sent a screenshot of her mobile phone screensaver, and her screensaver had been replaced with the freeze-frame picture of her and Chi Jingyuan smiling and high-five each other in the variety show, and Chi Jingyuan laughed secretly in his heart and sighed at the same time.

This sister is obviously so old, but in private, she feels younger and younger.

Kim Taeyeon's side is good news, but Red Velvet's side is a little bad.

Yesterday they were featured in M! performed the first stage of the return of "Be Nature", and then not only did the previous unfavorable discussion improve on the Internet, but some people scolded it even more.

Yesterday, they took the time to watch the playback of their stage Chi Jingyuan, and he didn't have a good evaluation of this kind of cover song, but in this return, they also completely changed the 'parrot shape' with four-color hair and tail dyed that was wildly criticized before, and put on a meticulous women's suit.

But the chair choreography that is biased towards the sexy style, he thinks that Bae Joo-hyun and a few people digest it quite ordinarily.

Especially Sun Shengwan, her impression in Chi Jingyuan's heart has always been relatively lively and bright, and it has nothing to do with sexy or anything like that.

On the stage this time, she licked a big round face and hooked her hands and raised her eyebrows, sitting on a chair with a pair of small short legs and throwing them around, sexy and sultry, but it made Chi Jingyuan feel awkward and funny for a while, for fear that she would wink and suddenly distort her face and raise an exaggerated emoji for him, which is also what Sun Shengwan is best at in private.

No, Red Velvet is in such a bad situation during this time, why does he think that Sun Shengwan has gained a lot of weight.

I don't know how many times she and Jiang Shiqi went to the convenience store secretly.

After that, I looked at the comments up, but Chi Jingyuan flipped through the messages for a while, and found that no one discussed how the singing was at all, how the dancing was doing, basically all to vent the anger in my heart, and all kinds of other fans who took out the garbage, and the majority of them were angry sone, function fans and Ellie.

To be honest, Ellie still hates Red Velvet so much, and Chi Jingyuan himself is a little confused.

Luhan has been gone for so long, and the 'resource theory' that caused the wave of attacks at that time was actually only involved in Red Velvet without wind and waves, obviously there is not much relationship between the two and there are no more contradictions, and the Ellies have been attacking Lai Debeibei until now, so that Ji Jingyuan doesn't know what to say.

I can only say that it is probably a habitual hate after the transfer of hatred.

Although it is only the first day that it has not officially returned, and even the audio source has not been made public, but looking at the current trend on the Internet, it is still not too right.

However, the specific situation depends on the official release of the sound source on the 13th.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Ji Jingyuan was changing his shoes at the door when he noticed that there were several big bags in the living room, Park Chanyeol and Wu Shixun were flipping in front of the bags, and several other members were also gathered in the living room and didn't know what to do here.

"I'm back."

"Hmm." The members greeted each other after seeing Chi Jingyuan, he changed his shoes and walked in, and glanced curiously: "What's the matter, all gathered here?" ”

"Tao's Oh, Daddy is here." Jin Junmian pouted at the door of a closed room next to him, and pointed to several large bags on the coffee table, indicating that they were gifts from Tao's father.

"Oh, I really should." Chi Jingyuan nodded clearly, Tao has been resting in the dormitory since he was injured on the 5th and was found to have a fractured bone, and since returning to the peninsula, he has been resting in the dormitory because of his limited mobility.

I heard that he was an only child, and this time he was not lightly injured, and it was natural for his parents to rush over to see the situation after knowing about it.

Walking into the crowd, Chi Jingyuan also joined in the excitement and flipped through the gifts sent by Tao's father, he casually flipped through and found that the packaging was very exquisite, and he knew that it was not a bargain at a glance.

They have seen too many things like parents visiting their children and giving gifts to others by the way, and they have not broken it since before their debut, that is, no one has ever been in Chi Jingyuan's house, and he has basically seen all the parents and relatives of other members.

After looking at it, Ji Jingyuan went to the bathroom to wash up, preparing to go back to the room early to rest.

"I told you a long time ago......"

"It's okay to say it......"

“%…… &Lying here? ”

Just when he passed through the living room and was about to return to his room, he heard a conversation coming from Tao's room, although it was Xia Wen, but they spoke a dialect with a somewhat heavy accent, and Ji Jingyuan could only understand a small part of it, and the tone of the conversation was obviously not friendly, and they all felt a little rushed to each other, as if they were arguing because of something.

However, he was not interested in eavesdropping on the conversation, and he walked directly into his room without stopping.

In the next few days, when Red Velvet was persistently doing all kinds of ineffective songs, the publicity of Chi Jingyuan and the entire crew of "Unborn" did not stop.

The crew also specially registered several ins accounts named after the prototypes of the characters in the play, such as "Unborn", Zhang Kelai, An Yingyi, Wu Shangzhi, etc., and posted various pictures and materials on them every day, attracting many people to watch.

As the actor Chi Jingyuan, of course, he also made a contribution, he has not been in business on ins for a long time, and he has been rare and diligent in the past two days, taking a lot of selfies and stills and uploading them, among which the title of a workplace suit and face selfie is also accompanied by the text 'October 17th, "Unborn", I am finally going to work. ”

Ji Jingyuan's fans are very active, even if he doesn't often pop photos, and a group of Yuan fans can discuss themselves with themselves in the comment area below the photos he posted many days ago.

And this time, the following one of the most liked fan messages is: "You finally remembered that you have ins, can you learn from your teammates and be diligent in business?" (Anger)"

As a yuan fan, I am really full of resentment in this regard.

It is worth mentioning that the number of Ji Jingyuan's ins fans has begun to move towards 7 million in the past few days, and at this rate, it is estimated that the number of his fans will likely exceed the 10 million mark by next year.

This also makes several other teammates very jealous, especially Wu Shixun's very careful management of ins, but the growth rate is far less fast than Chi Jingyuan, who herds sheep and fish every day, and now the number of fans is more than 200 and less than 3 million, which makes him always say a few sour words in a weird way recently.

and then was retorted by Chi Jingyuan's double attack of sight and language.

In a flash, on October 17th, the last episode of TVN's golden local drama, "Nine Boys" starring Kim Young-kwang and Lu Xingcai, ended miserably with 0.685%, an overall average rating of less than one percent, and the baton staggered to the hands of "Unborn" and disappeared without a trace.

And this TV series, which has been expected by many people since the start of filming, including 'tvn's 8th Anniversary Special Project', Ji Kyung-won's "After the Heir" new drama', and 'professional workplace drama', has finally appeared in front of everyone.
