Because there was no formal start-up ceremony, there was no content to shoot on the first day, except for holding a script reading meeting and filming some interviews, that is, the entire crew and actors knew each other, Kim Won-seok introduced the schedule and focus of the recent shooting, commuting time, location and other idle matters, although the filming did not start, but the whole day was actually busy, Ji Jingyuan felt that there was something to do.

Early the next morning, he came to the venue prepared by the crew and waited to follow the crew for the start-up ceremony.

Chi Jingyuan came very early, he was the first to come among the leading actors, the other two leading actors had not yet arrived, and the staff who had not yet arrived in the crew had already come to work, and at this time they were methodically preparing some items for the start-up ceremony in the venue.

The drama "Signal" is a suspense criminal investigation drama, and the occupations of several protagonists are all police, so it is natural to need a lot of background inside the police station for filming, but as a violent functional organization, the police station will naturally not open the interior for the crew to shoot, so the crew of "Signal" simply rented a building in Yeongdeungpo District, and directly renovated this building and the attached yard to build a set for a police station.

The opening ceremony was held in the hall on the first floor of the police station.

The construction is very careful, whether it is the outside gate, signboard, parking lot, as well as the internal office, detention room, etc., it is extremely restored, it is obvious that someone must have gone to the police station to inspect the interior.

And it's the same police station set, the second floor and the third floor are completely different, the second floor is a modern police station, both the frame and some equipment are the latest this year, used to shoot the plot that happened in the modern era, and the third floor is all twenty years ago, used to shoot the plot of the past.

Especially on the third floor, because it is necessary to show the police station twenty years ago, some modern items will be worn once they appear, so a lot of attention needs to be paid to the details, and the interior set matching, as well as some obviously old decorations and equipment, must have taken a lot of thought at a glance.

After Chi Jingyuan came, because it was not yet time, he followed the staff to visit it, and saw two completely different interior sets, and he still recognized the crew's intentions.

He has been to the police station, and the filming location set up by this crew is really very feeling, and letting people who don't know come in can definitely have a real effect.

After turning around, he went downstairs and returned to the courtyard that served as a parking lot outside, and when he went out, he saw that the front few field workers were carrying a big pig's head and walking inside, and hurriedly dodged to the side, and watched them move the pig's head in with astonishment.

This is what needs to be used in the boot-up ceremony, and today's ceremony is of course not only a simple word, but also the most important thing is to sacrifice and pray for blessings.

After walking out of the door, a cold wind hit him and blew him a lot of spirits, and before Ji Jingyuan could casually see if Jin Huixiu and Zhao Zhenxiong were here, someone waved at him not far away, and when he looked over there, he found that it was actually an acquaintance.

"Hey Yigu, why is my brother here?"

Chi Jingyuan agreed, smiled and walked directly over there, and took the initiative to say hello when he approached.

is Li Xingmin, who has worked together in the crew of "Unborn".

This brother has always been an impression to many viewers before, his face is familiar, his acting skills are good, but he is not a big-name actor, but after he won this year's Baeksang Emperor, he has made obvious progress and leaps in his career.

The atmosphere of the crew was very harmonious during the filming of "Unborn", several actors and directors got along very well, and clear-eyed people could see the level of the director and actors, so the contact was not interrupted after the end, Li Xingmin obviously had a very good relationship with director Kim Won-seok, the two were standing there talking and laughing, and when Ji Jingyuan walked over, this brother also gave Jin Yuan-seok a hard slap on the back.

"Your crew is on, I'll join in the fun."

Li Xingmin saw Chi Jingyuan approaching, and said with a smile in a slightly deep voice, and then patted him on the shoulder with a very close look: "Director Yuan Xi is still Jing Yuan, this drama is working together again......"

Then he shook his head at Ji Jingyuan's deflated mouth and sighed: "You don't know how much I want to act in this "Signal" after reading the script, but unfortunately, Won Seok didn't take a fancy to my ......"

"Ah, brother, can you say such things?" Jin Yuanxi glanced at him, and then looked at Tong Ji Jingyuan, who was a little serious, and explained: "I want him to play a role in "Signal", but after the script is given to him, this brother can't come because he doesn't have time, too, after taking the emperor, he now has several movie appointments in his hand, how can he have time to ......"

"Don't talk about it......" Seeing Jin Yuanxi's straightforward appearance, Li Xingmin hurriedly interrupted him with a smile: "Isn't this here today?" ”

"Haha......" Several people laughed together, and the crew of "Unborn" last year can be regarded as having a small reunion today.

After waiting for a while, other actors also arrived one after another, and it seemed that Li Xingmin and Zhao Zhenxiong were also quite familiar, and they greeted them warmly, but Kim Hye-so's words felt a little lighter.

When the actors arrived and the appointed time came, everyone entered the hall inside the building to prepare for the opening ceremony.

At this time, the hall on the first floor of this police station has been arranged, and an incense table for priests is placed on the north side against the wall, the table is made of mahogany, and the appearance is polished and constantly reflected in the light, and there is a huge pig's head on it, the pig's head is obliquely facing upward, the mouth is slightly open, and there are two red porcelain incense burners on both sides of the front, and the agarwood inserted in it has been lit, and the smell lingers around, which immediately makes the atmosphere a little serious.

Behind the incense table are all kinds of melons and fruits, and there is a bamboo mat in front of it, and a cushion is placed on the bamboo mat, which looks very formal.

The cast and crew formed a circle around the hall against the wall, leaving the middle spot completely empty.

Ji Jingyuan is not surprised, this kind of start-up ceremony is available to most of the crew on the peninsula, and director Kim Won-seok also attaches great importance to this, and he also did a similar ceremony in "Unborn" last year, but it was not as formal as it is today.

"I wish Signal success, and the priesthood ceremony begins now."

"Director Kim Won-seok's three prostrations begin."

After Kim Won-seok spoke for a short time, the ceremony officially began in the voice of the host, everyone else stepped aside, and the director Kim Won-seok went to the incense table, knelt on the cushion, and bowed to the pig's head in front of him three times in a row.

The action is very formal, obviously not the first time, and the expression and atmosphere are also very serious.

After the prayer, he stuck an envelope that he had been holding in his hand into the pig's mouth.

This envelope was wrapped in a note with good hopes and blessings, and it was inserted after the visit, implying that the hope had been conveyed to the gods, and I hoped that the crew would have a smooth ride after the start of the film.

This note is not only written by the director, but also by several leading actors.

But Ji Jingyuan looked at the pig's head with his eyes closed, and he was very skeptical about how much effect this would have.

But although it seems a little superstitious, but mainly to ask for a good omen, although he doesn't believe this, but it is good to have some comfort in his heart.

After the director, it was the turn of the three leading actors, and after Kim Won-seok stepped down, Ji Kyung-won, who was dressed in a black suit, followed Kim Hye-so and Cho Jin-woong side by side to the incense table.

Kim Hye-so is in the middle, he is on the left, and Cho Jin-woong is on the right, and the three leading actors are wearing a serious black dress very tacitly.

The leading actor doesn't have to bow three times like the director, it will be relatively simple, just need to bow with a standard salute, and after the salute, Ji Jingyuan also took out an envelope from his pocket, followed by Kim Hye-so, and inserted the envelope into the pig's head's mouth.

The crew had informed him of today's events before, and he had already prepared it.

Not to mention, the mouth of this pig's head is quite suitable for this kind of thing, the shape is very consistent, and there is a feeling similar to swiping a card when you put it in.

There has been VJ filming next to him, and after the three leading actors completed the ceremony seriously and seriously, they said two sentences in turn in front of everyone, and after Kim Hye-so, it was Ji Jingyuan's turn, and he didn't say much, just put his hands in front of him, and sincerely blessed two sentences: "I hope the crew goes well, everyone is healthy, and don't get sick......"

Although "Papai ......" is very simple, after all, it is the leading role, and of course the people around him applauded together for face.

The only ones who are qualified to carry out the sacrificial ceremony are the director and the three leading actors, and the other actors did not come to such a show, but just followed with two words of encouragement.

After the actor finished speaking, Jin Yuanxi lit the envelope in the pig's mouth, raised his big hand, threw the burning white paper in the sky, and was not afraid of being hot, like a circus performer, he also used his hand to shoot a few times in a row, his hand was very fast, and a few afterimages in the air, the charred ashes and the afterglow of the flames were scattered in the sky, describing a scene of fiery red stars flying in the sky, and the performance was very exciting.

I just don't know if this brother's hands are red.

Finally, under the leadership of Kim Won-seok, everyone raised their right hands and shouted in unison three times: "Signal, Fighting!" The start-up ceremony was officially over.

…………

Although this ceremony looks a little weird, and it is clearly very superstitious, not to mention, the effect is indeed quite good, at least Chi Jingyuan feels that the atmosphere of the crew has come up all of a sudden after the start-up ceremony, including the actors, everyone has naturally entered the working state.

After the ceremony, no more time was wasted, and filming for "Signal" officially began.

Although this drama will be filmed in many places on the peninsula in the plan, the scenes in the first two days are arranged to focus on this police station, so there is no need to run around.

The first thing to shoot is Park Hae-young played by Ji Kyung-won, Cha so-hyun played by Kim Hye-so, and Kim Ki-cheol played by Kim Won-hae in the police station.

“cut！”

Not long after the filming began, Kim Won-seok's voice came: "I feel that there is a problem, Ji Jingyuan, your expression and tone should be a little more confident." ”

"Okay, I got it." Chi Jingyuan, who was interrupted, immediately nodded and responded.

“Cut！

After a while, the voice of shouting to stop came again: "Yuan Haixi, the action is not right, it's a little late." ”

When Kim Won-seok didn't finish speaking, Kim Won-hae, who is a veteran actor, raised his hand and smiled to indicate that it was his problem.

Jin Yuanhai is an old actor, often active in front of the big and small screens, but he plays secondary roles, and he is a golden supporting role in the Peninsula film and television industry, born in 69, he is almost the oldest of the actors in the crew, he is very experienced, and his acting skills are also very good.

Kim Won-seok behaved very calmly during filming, when he didn't have to talk to the actors, he usually sat in a director's chair, wearing a glowing Samsung latest headset on his head, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, whether he shouted 'start' or 'cut', his voice was not heavy, and it sounded soft.

Although this brother's face looks bitter, every time he sees him, he always feels like he has encountered something big, but this calm demeanor has the feeling of Maitreya Buddha, but this confident aura can still infect others around him.

After a while, the filming was interrupted again, this time without Kim Won-seok shouting the card actor stopped by himself, Kim Hye-so and Ji Kyung-won, who were halfway through the line, couldn't help but laugh when they looked at each other face-to-face, and after the other party laughed, Ji Kyung-won also laughed together, and the filming was directly interrupted.

After the filming started, it was interrupted many times in a row, and it was very unsmooth, but whether it was the director, the crew, or even the other actors, they were very used to it and didn't say much.

The first few days before the start of filming of each TV series belong to the run-in period of the entire crew, and when the actors enter the state, every time everyone has just entered the group at this time, they have not yet fully entered the group, and the progress of filming will definitely be very slow.

So the progress in front is slow, there are many cuts, and it is quite normal to grind slowly, and after a period of time, everyone enters the state, and the progress will be significantly accelerated.

And it just so happened that Ji Jingyuan had a lot of roles as a male lead in the first two episodes, and he was actually under a lot of pressure to play with old actors such as Kim Hye-so and Kim Won-hae, and it is estimated that he has suffered it in the past two days.

Seeing Ji Jingyuan and Kim Hye-so laughing, even with Jin Yuanhai and even Jin Yuanxi, they couldn't help laughing twice, everyone adjusted a little and started again soon.

Filming is actually not a very simple thing, this is not to let you act in front of the mirror alone at home, but to face the camera, under the watchful eyes of dozens or hundreds of people around, read the lines by yourself, and make various expressions as if no one was around, all kinds of emotions must be brewed in place, anger when you say anger, and tears when you say tears.

Most people can't even say anything when they are watched by so many people, let alone seriously engaged performances, in fact, the requirements for this industry of actors are quite high.

If you really act, you will know that filming is really not such a simple thing, so you really can't be too harsh on Yuna's seniors, it's not fair!

Later, in this built police station, the sound of lines, shouting stops, the sound of drama, and laughter alternated from time to time, and the entire "Signal" crew ran jerky and firmly.

…………

"Oba, can you take a picture with me?"

After a few hours of filming, when Chi Jingyuan sat down and drank a few sips of water and was figuring out the emotions of the character, a little girl took the initiative to find her mobile phone and stood in front of her and asked tentatively.

The crew of "Signal" will use a lot of child actors, and there are two young actors in the first two episodes, one male and one female.

Although they will not be filmed today, the crew still asked their parents to bring them to the set in order to let them feel the atmosphere in advance.

This little girl's actor is called Li Yingen, she looks quite cute, it is estimated that she is not even ten years old, her eyes lit up after she saw Ji Jingyuan at the scene, and she soon found an opportunity to come over and take the initiative to express her identity as an EXO fan, a girl who looks quite quiet can't say anything excited in front of Ji Jingyuan, it's really very likable.

She played the victim of the first case in the crew, and there were not many scenes.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at the little girl who was looking forward to it, and then looked up not far behind her, and looked at the guardian here with a smile, he also laughed, and nodded very gently: "Of course you can." ”

Although SM restricts its artists from taking photos with people casually, there is no problem with actors in the same crew.

"Eun, do you like XO very much?"

In the interval between group photos, Chi Jingyuan asked casually with a smile.

"Of course, a lot of people in our class love XO." Li Yingen nodded as a matter of course, her eyes widened: "People who don't like XO, others don't play with them." ”

"Hehe......"

Chi Jingyuan's expression was strange when he heard this.

The title of schoolboy ruler is indeed not in vain, in 13 years they had this nickname, and by 15 years, EXO's dominance in the student community of the peninsula has become more and more intense.

"Then who do you think is the most handsome in XO?" Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment, blinked, and asked with obvious inducement.

"Of course it's Yuan Oba...... We all think so. ”

Li Yingen replied without hesitation, her tone was categorical and pleasing to people, and in the end, as if to increase her persuasiveness, she also added a sentence seriously.

"Haha."

Ji Jingyuan still couldn't hold back his laughter, and the innocent Tong Yan instantly provoked the deep sense of vanity in his heart, making him feel very comfortable.

The two took two photos together, and Li Yingen was satisfied with his mobile phone and gently saluted and thanked him in a sweet voice: "Oba, Kang Sanmida!" ”

In the end, she reluctantly glanced at Chi Jingyuan twice, then turned around and ran back to her parents, followed by a burst of laughter and conversation, and the scene was extremely harmonious.

Ji Jingyuan glanced over there a few times, then shook his head with a smile, lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, and was just about to watch the news when he was stopped by Jin Yuanxi over there.

"Jingyuan, come over here and tell you about the next scene."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan immediately put the phone back and walked over quickly.

"Here we are."

…………

After joining the group from Ji Jingyuan to filming, he was absent from several consecutive signing events of EXO, which made many fans who went to the lottery to sell tickets for him feel a little disappointed.

At the same time, he didn't go to the singing stage after the "Sing for You" event, and even the "Music Bank" on the 18th also took leave.

Although "Signal" will premiere in nearly a month, the filming time before the start of the broadcast is actually quite sufficient, and SM Company also communicated with the crew in advance about the time when Chi Jingyuan needs to stagger and take leave for some activities at the end of the year.

But after all, filming has just started, and the crew is still in a very important run-in period, so it is really not very suitable to leave at this time, so Chi Jingyuan directly postponed or postponed all the trips within a week of joining the group, and put all his energy on filming.

Not only him, but also several other leading actors.

But it can't always be like this, after all, people like Kim Hye-so, Zhao Zhenxiong, and some other popular actors still have a lot of itineraries on their backs, at least some advertising endorsements and platforms are not easy to push, and occasionally there may be some private matters of their own.

was absent from so many group activities, and even did not participate in the very important return period, although it was for filming, but it inevitably caused some dissatisfaction with Aili, and complained a few words about Chi Jingyuan on the Internet.

Especially the fans of some other members, seeing that Chi Jingyuan could receive such good film and television resources, after being absent from singing and running to filming, their hearts were sour, and at the same time, they turned out the name of 'royal family' again and hung it on Chi Jingyuan's head, causing a quarrel within Aili.

After all, Ellie is the collective name of the fans of the entire group of EXO, and she is not the only fan of Chi Jingyuan alone, so it is normal to have disagreements.

And although the group of Ellie is currently the largest in the Peninsula fan world, and the attack power is also the strongest, but in fact, they are also very fierce internally, usually because of the makeup of the members in EXO activities, the amount of personal resources, and the number of songs and prat.

However, when encountering an external enemy, these Ellies, who had been scolding each other like ugly people before, immediately united to the outside world, united to suppress all the fans who challenged EXO.

The two-sided nature of the meal is also really impressive.

And Chi Jingyuan has been immersed in filming since he joined the group on the 15th, and the news and exposure have suddenly decreased greatly, and he has not been on the singing stage for more than a week, and there is no variety show, INS is not updated, and the crew has just started up and has not sent any Reuters photos, and fans can't find a way to see him.

Let some Weifan look forward to wearing at the same time, but also some small complaints.

Even if filming is very important, Oba will also update ins, open up, let's see you.

Choi Ji-hee is one of these fans, she is a very loyal fan of Ji Jingyuan, but she hasn't seen Ji Jingyuan appear in front of the camera for several days, and she doesn't know the recent situation of her Oba in the past two days, so she is a little anxious.

But fortunately, today is the 23rd, and there is a broadcast of Oba Daiban's "Idol of the Week", which can satisfy the cravings.

She got home quickly after school, and after eating, she sat down in front of the TV, and the broadcast started just when the channel was just adjusted.

Well, it's still a Christmas special, it must be exciting.
