"You can't cut it too short, you still have to keep some bangs, even if it's a policeman, do you have long hair, and there are a lot of them......"

"And if it's completely cut into a plank, it doesn't look like a police officer, it's more like a military serviceman......"

"But Jingyuan, your face line is really great, the short hair is actually very handsome, with relatively soft facial features, it can also neutralize the essence of the short hair, making the whole person feel less aggressive."

“perfect！”

Cody's sister kept working on Chi Jingyuan's head with various tools, while talking to him very enthusiastically, at the same time, Chi Jingyuan's hair for more than a year was also decreasing at a visible rate, more than an hour later, Cody clapped her hands in admiration, and Chi Jingyuan stood up from the chair with a completely different shape from yesterday, and looked at himself seriously in the mirror.

The previous long hair has disappeared, replaced by a moderately long hair inch, much shorter than before but not as short as the board inch, with a little fragmentary bangs on the forehead, the sideburns on both sides are obviously shaved a little shorter, showing the entire jaw line, and the top of the hair is taken care of by Cody with some ripples of fragmentary style, adding a lot of fashion sense.

On the whole, there is a refreshing sense of freshness, which is a completely different style compared to the previous style, and it is impossible to say who is good and who is bad, and at this time, it is obviously a lot more energetic, and under the background of short hair, the already excellent facial features are highlighted more photogenic.

It is very important to be an idol hairstyle, many times it is by changing a variety of hairstyles to change the style of idol, and some of the appearance conditions are not excellent, and the idol with a more average face needs a variety of hairstyles to cover up the flaws of the appearance and cover up the ugly effect.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Ji Jingyuan has cut such a short hair since his debut, and although he has trimmed it in the previous filming, he has never cut it so short.

Although it doesn't look like an idol, the effect is still pretty good.

Chi Jingyuan looked left and right in the mirror, and nodded secretly, quite satisfied in his heart.

And at least for a long time to come, it will be much easier to take care of your hair.

"Hey Yigu, Jingyuan, you ...... this look"

After returning to the dormitory after cutting his hair, seeing Chi Jingyuan's new look, the other EXO members immediately exploded, and they gathered around to admire and observe, and kept expressing their opinions and evaluations.

"That's too short, haha......"

"I think it's pretty handsome and tasteful." Du Junxiu pinched her chin with her hand, and looked at Chi Jingyuan's hairstyle and was very satisfied: "That character is a policeman, right?" Really suitable. ”

"Will the fans be dissatisfied?"

"How is it possible, brother, don't you know the fans yet? If they knew that Jing Yuan cut his hair short for filming, they would only proudly show off the rice of other groups...... And I think Jingyuan's shape is very good-looking, so I feel a little like trying it......"

"Don't, you think you're Jingyuan? Cutting your hair short with that face shape will make your face look too long......"

"Tooth One West Eight ......"

The second round of auditions for "signal" was scheduled on November 10th, the day after EXO returned from Neon, and Perfect staggered Ji Kyung-won's itinerary over there, and apparently SM also communicated with the crew.

This time, the audition will be determined, and in the end, the candidate for the actor Park Hae-young in this drama, in addition to Ji Kyung-won, Lee Di-hoon is also here.

Another candidate, Lee Jong Suk, may have gotten the inside news, and after knowing that he had little hope for this role, he directly gave up the audition, after all, he has been popular in recent years, and he is the most popular among young actors, and there is no shortage of acting, so there is no need to spend so much effort for a role that is sure that there is no chance.

"Jing Yuan Xi is here, hey Yigu, it's really very handsome, sit."

"Senior, Anihassai."

"There's no need to be so polite, I've wanted to know you for a long time......"

The two candidates, Ji Jingyuan and Lee Dixun, met in tvN's lounge, but although they are the biggest competitors in the position of the actor, and Lee Dixun should also know through his own relationship that he has fallen behind in the competition, but he doesn't seem to have any unhappiness and obvious hostility, but after seeing Ji Jingyuan coming, he naturally took the initiative to wave and say hello, and his attitude was quite enthusiastic.

are all people who have been in the circle for so long, and there are no substantive contradictions, no matter what, they can get by on the surface.

And Ji Jingyuan naturally responded with politeness and a smile, sitting next to Li Dixun and chatting with him.

This brother also has short hair, and he is obviously specially cut for this role, but the length is slightly longer than Ji Jingyuan's.

It can be heard from Lee Dixun's words that he is still quite optimistic about this "signal", after all, he has not yet had a representative work that he can get his hands on after retiring from the army, and this tvN 10th anniversary special project with an excellent lineup and great hope for success is still very important to him.

It's a pity that I met a director with a lot of power like Kim Won-seok and a related household like Ji Kyung-won.

Chi Jingyuan responded enthusiastically on his face, and through communication, he felt good about this brother, and felt a little sorry for the other party in his heart.

But since being able to sit here and audition, it means that they are all related households, but his relationship is a little harder, and everyone knows each other, and there is no need to be embarrassed.

This time, the four main creators of the crew who participated in the audition were still the same, and the process was very similar, except for performing a few scenes of Park Hae-young, it was to change a few more sets of costumes for the characters.

After the audition, Kim Won-seok, Ji Kyung-won, and Lee Di-hoon all had their own exchanges, but they did not determine the ownership of the roles on the spot, but asked them to go back and wait for news.

I don't know what the mentality of this brother Li Dixun is, anyway, Ji Jingyuan is quite confident.

After the audition, I went to the company for an afternoon and waited until the evening to return to the dormitory.

"How's the audition?"

Several members who didn't go out seemed to be quite concerned about the results of Chi Jingyuan's audition, and as soon as they saw him come back, they looked at him curiously, some people were embarrassed to speak, but some people didn't shy away from asking directly.

Although the EXO group has been on holiday in the past two days, many members have their own personal itineraries, such as Du Junxiu who joined the group to film yesterday afternoon, and the person who was bored watching TV in the dormitory so early is obviously a bit unsatisfactory.

"It's okay."

With a casual wave of his hand, Chi Jingyuan walked to the bathroom after changing his shoes: "I think it's OK, but the results haven't come out yet." ”

After chatting with them casually in the living room, Ji Jingyuan returned to his room, Du Junxiu and Wu Shixun were not there, and he was left alone in the huge bedroom after closing the door, but he was also happy.

Ji Jingyuan was going to read the textbook to review it, but as soon as he took out the book, he paused, as if he remembered something, and then picked up his mobile phone with a smile, and pointed the camera at himself and took a selfie, and there was no accompanying text, so he sent it directly to Bae Joo-hyun.

Every time the young lady has a good-looking new look, she will remember to send a beautiful selfie to him to enjoy, although Chi Jingyuan doesn't have this habit, but it's not good to respond at all.

"You cut your hair?!! (Round Eyes)"

Red Velvet, who is not in the active period, should be quite idle, Bae Joo-hyun replied quickly, and through a series of question marks, it can be seen that she was still surprised to see Ji Jingyuan's new look.

"(smiley)" Ji Jingyuan replied with an expression.

"When did you cut it, and how did you cut it so short?"

"I cut it yesterday for the audition for a new TV series, because the character setting requires short hair."

"New TV series, did you pass the audition?"

"Almost."

After Bae Joo-hyun sat cross-legged on her bed and sent a short message, she directly clicked on the selfie sent by Ji Jingyuan just now, blinking her eyes and staring at this very novel short hair style, although the lighting of this selfie is average and the angle is very arbitrary, it still made her smile and watch it for a while, and finally clicked Save, and tapped the screen with her fingers: "Is the new drama confirmed?" Rough card yo! And this new look is also very handsome, Mohida, but the lights are a little dim......"

Ji Jingyuan on the other side immediately understood what the other party meant when he saw this message, and when he was about to say something with a smile, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and he saw that it was the agent Li Chenghuan calling.

Directly on.

"Yo don't stuff you."

"Jingyuan, are you in the dormitory?" Lee Seung-hwan's voice was very neutral, and his tone sounded obviously excited.

"yes, just came back."

Hearing this tone, Chi Jingyuan had a premonition in his heart that this brother was going to say something on this call, he looked left and right when he replied casually, then stood up and went to the cabinet next to him to take a pack of chocolate bars, sat back down, opened the textbook, and ate while making a phone call.

"The company has just received news from the crew of "Signal", and the results of the audition are out......" Lee Seung-hwan said at this abrupt end, obviously wanting to sell off.

"Well, quack......"

But Chi Jingyuan, who had already heard it from his voice, was very calm, and he didn't speak, just eating a chocolate bar, and there was a crunchy chewing sound.

"Haha......" didn't succeed Lee Seung-hwan didn't feel embarrassed, and after laughing a few times, he directly said the news he had just received: "The results of the two auditions are great, and the role of Park Hae-young, the male number one in the drama "Signal", is definitely ours, haha, I heard from a friend over there, in fact, the crew almost decided to let you play it during the first audition, and this audition is just a formality." ”

"Are you sure? I thought I'd have to wait a few days, which would be fine. ”

Hearing that things were done, Chi Jingyuan was also a little relieved, during this time, he carefully memorized various scripts, and figured out the characters to prepare for auditions.

"Yes, it is said that director Kim Won-seok played a big role, you remember to call him to thank him when the time comes, and the relationship in this regard must be maintained."

"Got it, brother, it's up to you to say this."

"We can start negotiating the contract tomorrow, and the company will send someone to talk over there." Speaking of this, Lee Seung-hwan's voice became a little deeper: "By the way, your salary this time shouldn't be very high, although tvN and A story have a lot of support and investment, but most of the resources are used for filming, and the salaries of the other two leading actors, Cho Jin-woong and Kim Hye-so, are not high......"

"I inquired, Kim Hye-so is very optimistic about this script, or the heroine who lowered her salary."

"How much?"

"The exact number is not clear, but it is about 55 million won per episode."

"It's not much."

Hearing this number, Chi Jingyuan paused.

An episode of 55 million won is already a great number for most actors, but it also depends on who it is, not to mention others, Guangji Kyung-won's salary was already close to this number when he filmed "The Heirs" in 13 years.

Although actresses generally have a much lower salary than male actors, Kim Hye-so's salary is indeed a lot lower than her status.

Remuneration is not the most important part for Chi Jingyuan, but the economic company must attach great importance to this, Chi Jingyuan thought about it, and still instructed Lee Seunghuan: "If the salary is paid, the company will look at it, but it is best to be consistent with the other two leading actors." ”

"Don't worry, the company knows what's more important." Lee Seung-hwan also responded seriously.

Compared with the salary, after the TV series was broadcast, the various endorsement activities that followed under the huge popularity were the bulk of the revenue.

After chatting a few more words about TV dramas, Chi Jingyuan remembered when he was about to hang up, and finally asked: "When did you join the group, is there any news over there?" ”

"I specifically asked, and I heard that preparations are still underway, and the estimated start time of filming is estimated to be around mid-December."

"Mid-December...... Didn't we just happen to be back with the Winter Special? ”

"Yes, but don't worry, the company will coordinate the time, compared to the filming of the TV series, it is acceptable to be absent from singing activities when necessary."

"Okay, hard work, brother."

After Ji Jingyuan thanked him, he hung up his phone, raised his eyes and thought about it, and sorted out the news he had just heard from Li Chenghuan and wrote it down.

exhaled and lowered his head, but found that when he was on the phone just now, Pei Zhuhyun finally sent another message, he was chatting just now, but he suddenly received a call and called for a long time, the young lady seemed to be a little dissatisfied because she didn't get a response to the last hint, and she probably guessed that Ji Jingyuan had something to do temporarily, so she didn't say anything, just said a pretty sentence:

"Hmph...... I took a shower and went. ”

Seeing the text, Ji Jingyuan seemed to think of her expression, shook his head with a smile, put down his phone, and finally started tonight's review.

……

"Recently, Jingyuan, you have been working a lot in CF......

"Lotte Duty Free needs to update the new vertical billboard, and many brands such as Chow Tai Fook, Taobao and Penguin Video in the mainland need to shoot special New Year's advertisements......"

In the conference room of SM, Ji Jingyuan is communicating with his team about the personal itinerary for the next period of time at the end of the year, the personal agent Park Jae-hyun is introducing Ji Jingyuan one by one with a stack of materials, and several assistants sitting next to him are also sitting with materials and pens and are sitting and recording, Ji Jingyuan is listening carefully, nodding and interjecting from time to time to confirm.

The end of the year is the busiest time, not only the activities of the entire EXO group on the TV station, but also more personal matters, especially for artists like him, who endorse a lot in the mainland, and there are many special New Year's projects of mainland brands that need to be involved.

“…… In addition, the closest to the closest, the most urgent over there is LG, their V-series flagship LG V10 released in Asia this month performed well, and is now preparing to shoot a second wave of TV commercials, this time the ads are divided into several versions, respectively aimed at the mainland, Asia and the peninsula. ”

"Shoot the second version of the ad so soon? Looks like this V10 is selling well here in Asia? ”

After receiving the stack of materials handed over by Park Jae-hyun, Ji Jingyuan roughly flipped through it and asked a question.

He has already shot a version of the advertisement for LG's mobile phone before, but that version of the advertisement is aimed at the American market, and in addition to Chi Jingyuan, the spokesperson, there are many black and white people involved.

I didn't expect to shoot a new commercial after a month.

"After the phone went on sale in October, sales in the United States did not meet expectations, and only 10,000 units per day were shipped for nearly a month, but the response of the V10 in Asia surprised the brand, and the response in many places was very hot, because of an event called 'Double 11' in the mainland, the online sales platform was directly sold short...... That's why they rush to shoot new advertisements to meet the needs of publicity, and your influence and popularity in Asia, mainland China, and local areas are also the most important for brands. ”

Park Jae-hyun has obviously talked to LG more than once, and he knows all aspects of the data well, and he is very fluent in introducing it to Ji Kyung-won.

As he spoke, he took out a stack of bound materials from the file bag next to him and handed it to Chi Jingyuan: "This time the advertising shoot still has you as the protagonist, but according to the plan, there will be other artists of the opposite sex and models to match, and they will also appear in the promotional activities, which can be regarded as half a spokesperson...... This is a list of partners prepared by the advertising company, which is recommended by major economic companies, and they think it is a good artist or model after screening...... They take our opinions very seriously, you can see if there is anything you like and think it is appropriate......"

"We are not suitable for meddling in this kind of thing, let the advertising agency choose, I don't care who I work with."

This time, Chi Jingyuan didn't answer, but just waved his hand to show that he was too lazy to participate.

For normal work, if there are no special circumstances, he doesn't like to mix too much with this kind of thing, and many times the advertising company is just because LG values him, just be polite, if you often intervene in it, it will be difficult to avoid some contradictions.

"Or ......"

It's just that at this time, Park Jae-hyun didn't take it back obediently, but still maintained the posture of handing it over, and repeated it with a hint in his eyes: "Why don't you take a look at Jingyuan?" ”

“…… Is there anything special about you? ”

Chi Jingyuan tacitly understood what this brother meant, pursed his lips and reached out to take the information, put it in front of him, crossed Erlang's legs and opened it, and asked in a low voice.

Park Jae-hyun didn't reply, just kept a smile and shrugged his shoulders.

It didn't take two minutes for Chi Jingyuan to understand what this brother meant.

Because he hadn't turned two pages, a familiar name and face appeared in his eyes.
