Peninsula Asteroid

"Why is Kim Taeyeon back again?"

In a video store near Cheongdam High School in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, two girls in high school uniforms stood in front of the album shelves, looking at the new products on them, and the Kim Taeyeon poster that had just been posted next to them, listening to The sound source of the title song "WHY" was playing next to it, and I couldn't help but curl my lips and complain.

Obviously, they don't have a good impression of this Girls' Generation captain.

""Why"..." One of the long-haired girls picked up the album and looked at the album cover photo carefully. The fat girl next to her looked at her actions and asked curiously: "Do you want to buy Taeyeon's album?"

"I won't buy it..." The long-haired girl put the album back directly.

"It wasn't last time..."

"It's different from last time. Jingyuan Oppa was the producer of the album "I" and he wrote the title song. Although we don't like that woman Kim Taeyeon, of course we have to support Oppa's career."

She hummed softly and said plausibly: "Oppa Jingyuan didn't participate this time, so it has nothing to do with us, Aili. Who is willing to buy that old woman's album of hers... Why haven't you cut the song yet?"

"But didn't Oppa post on Instagram early in the morning to promote "Why"?" The fat girl looked at the album and felt a little moved. She thought the cover was very beautiful, and she also liked Kim Taeyeon quite a lot. of...a little bit.

"These are all arranged by the company..." Changfa looked like he knew the inside story very well, and waved his hand casually: "It's normal for artists of this kind to return and ask artists from the same company to help promote it. We in Europe Ba has the highest popularity and traffic, and the most fans on Instagram. There is no way..."

Just as he finished speaking, a small reminder came from the side: "But doesn't it mean that EXO's Oppas, especially Jingyuan Oppa's SNS, are all operated by themselves?"

"Uh..." She paused for a moment after saying this, and after a second, she immediately waved her hand: "That's right... That's because Oppa Jingyuan is loyal enough. Some seniors from the company have returned and helped promote it, but after saying that, I I hate that old woman Kim Taeyeon even more, who keeps messing with Oppa just because she has a good temper...Why hasn't Girls' Generation disbanded yet?"

As she spoke, she took down an EXO album that was also placed in the most conspicuous place on the shelf: "I'll buy another third album... I've never opened Jingyuan Oppa's small card before. I really like that little card..."

She thought about it for a long time before she realized that her companion had not replied. She turned around and saw that the other party had taken out his phone and started scrolling.

"What are you looking at?"

"Hey, look at the news. It was just announced that Oppa will star in a new drama!"

Not long after the announcement by the production company Hwa \u0026 Dam Pictures was released, it quickly became a hot search topic in the entertainment section. The red color of the entry showed the degree of attention this news received.

The name Ji Kyung-won itself represents popularity and traffic, and the production company is particularly famous for the fact that "Goblin" is a new drama co-written by writer Kim Eun-sook and director Lee Eung-bok. When combined, it became a hit.

As long as there are old viewers who are familiar with the Korean drama circle, there is almost no one who does not know Kim Eun-sook. Especially not long ago, "Descendants of the Sun" had just hit the entire peninsula and Asia. As a writer, she had to watch the screen countless times. Many people were staring at her new work. Unexpectedly, it suddenly broke out today.

And he actually cooperated with Chi Jingyuan!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:: being being tying me up?

"Kim Eun-sook's drama should be the top one in the industry, right? It would be great to be able to borrow such resources from drama Ji Kyung-won... But his popularity and acting skills are here, and he has been nominated for TV drama twice. If If a male idol actor can get this kind of drama, he is the one.”

"As expected of the royal family! SM Xiba is too disgusting. Give him all the good resources. Is Ji Kyung Won Lee Soo Man's dad? Can you stop being so partial and give wuli Yoona/yuri/Seo Hyun/ Sehun/Soojung/Minho…any good resources?”

"Actually, they are not considered a royal family anymore. Everyone in EXO has very good resources now, and they are filming various movies. Even if they back out a few members who are very popular in the group, the group's fame is there... it's just Chi Jingyuan’s performance is particularly good, but given his popularity and acting skills, it’s normal.”

"A pure passerby. Anyway, if I were his teammate, I wouldn't be able to bear it. This kind of royal family really ruins the atmosphere in the team. Even though EXO seems to be harmonious and friendly now, I don't know how big the conflict is in private. I watched a few slices , it is obvious that many teammates are angry but dare not speak."

"I heard from an internal gossip that Kim Eun-sook and Ji Kyung-won have a very good personal relationship since "The Heirs". They originally wanted to cast him in "Descendants of the Sun". It is said that the character and image of the protagonist in the script are They were all written with reference to Chi Jingyuan... I don’t know if it’s true or not... Later, due to some things, it didn’t work out, and now we’re working together on a new drama again, tsk tsk, how much love it is.”

"Thinking about it, Ji Kyung-won's appearance actually suits Yoo Si-jin... But forget it. Although I like him very much, if he plays Yoo Si-jin, my favorite two Songs will not be able to meet together. Oh...and he and Song Hye Kyo have no sense of coherence at all!"

Hwa \u0026 Dam Pictures didn't expect that it only sent out a casting announcement, mentioning the leading actor and the name of the TV series. It didn't even announce the specific content and theme, and it already caused such a big response.

The official SNS account of "Goblin", which the company had just opened, was opened by enthusiastic and crazy fans in less than five minutes. They kept flooding in and leaving messages below asking for various news about the show, the number of fans and likes. The price has skyrocketed in a short period of time, leaving the publicity staff at Hwa \u0026 Dam Pictures in a hurry.

Now we have slowly transformed into the era of Internet and streaming media. The quality of TV series is important, but popularity and traffic are actually also critical.

Even the company's producers, who have been responsible for several popular dramas, were a little surprised by this. This is the first time that publicity work is so easy... I can only say that although there are some disadvantages to using idol actors, there are also big benefits in some places. Benefits, and Chi Jingyuan is one of the best, which can not only ensure the popularity, but also improve the quality of the TV series.

Although "Goblin" only has one name now, the momentum of becoming popular before it is broadcast is already obvious.

…………

While the news about Chi Kyung-won's new drama was being discussed enthusiastically on the Internet, he didn't have time to see what fans were saying about him, because just after noon, he came to a studio in Mapo District to shoot for a fashion magazine. cover.

"Look here, okay, don't move!"

"Get another change of clothes."

"The expression should be colder, with the look of 'nothing matters'... very good, the color of this dress is really suitable, this is it..."

"OK, let's take a short break first..."

Chi Jingyuan, who had been posing for a long time, immediately felt his body relax when he heard the on-site director's instructions. He stood up from the stool and walked down while saluting the PD and staff and saying "Thank you" several times. From the background stage After walking down the stairs, I exchanged a few words with the PD, and after being warmly praised by the other party, the filming came to an end.

After leaving the director's side, Park Jae-hyun and his assistant Cui Zhichang came over quickly. One handed Chi Jingyuan the prepared ice drink and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a hand towel, while the other directly helped him take off his coat. Lost.

What I was shooting today was the magazine cover for the next season, which is autumn. The clothes were all thicker jackets. The air-conditioning in this venue was a little low, so it was quite painful to wear thicker jackets.

"PD Jiang is right, the color of this dress is really suitable for you." Park Jae-hyun helped take off Chi Jingyuan's colorful jacket, stood up and looked at it, and clicked his tongue at the 'GUCCI' logo on the chest. Chengqi: "The colors of GUCCI's clothes in the past two years are really eye-catching. Director Alexandre's intention to rejuvenate the brand is indeed very obvious."

Seeing Chi Jingyuan drinking the drink, he first reminded him out of habit, "It's too cold, drink slowly." Seeing that Chi Jingyuan ignored it and didn't care, his eyes returned to the brand logo of the jacket. After taking a look at it, he handed the clothes to the assistant next to him: "But GUCCI really values ​​you. Although you haven't signed a contract yet and don't have any official title, you usually take the initiative when posting clothing photos on Instagram." Claim... We are also willing to provide the latest seasonal clothing for photoshoots and events.

"As far as I know, these big European luxury brands are very cold towards our artists. Not to mention taking the initiative to provide clothing sponsorship, sometimes they can't borrow even if they lick their faces... Where is Xia Mainland? Only individual artists will be treated better, and here on the peninsula, as far as I know, you are the only one, Jingyuan."

"Well……"

Chi Jingyuan drank half of a bottle of orange juice in one gulp, feeling the refreshing cold breath and burping with satisfaction.

Hearing Park Jae-hyun's words, he licked his lips, turned around and asked, "That's what I said... but the brand hasn't talked about it yet, okay? It's been two or three years, and the attention period is a bit too long. …”

According to his understanding, GUCCI seems to have noticed him since 2013, and has had formal contact with him and SM since 2015. More than three years have passed since the back and forth, and there is still no formal agreement. .

"This is the most high-end blue blood brand of luxury goods. The artists who choose to cooperate are all like this. The higher the high-end title, the more difficult it is. Friends ambassadors are relatively simple, but spokespersons will definitely require a long period of investigation."

Several people walked towards the rest area next to it. Park Jae-hyun said very familiarly as he walked around: "They have been paying attention to us for so long and are so proactive. They must be at least the spokesperson's title... As for Asia, especially Peninsula idols. There is no precedent in this regard, so it is understandable to be cautious.”

As he spoke, he added: "But I heard from SM some time ago that GUCCI has become much more enthusiastic since the summer, and the communication has been progressing very quickly. If a formal cooperation can be reached this year, it will definitely be in September." before fashion week."

"whatever."

Chi Jingyuan sat on a leisure chair, responded casually, took out his phone and started scrolling.

He still attaches great importance to the cooperation with GUCCI. After all, artists in the entire Peninsula entertainment industry have always been poor in terms of fashion resources. This kind of luxury endorsement title is something that most idols and even actors would never even think about. Once they can get it This is a huge recognition of his popularity in all aspects, especially in the fashion area, which can be said to have skyrocketed.

But after procrastinating for so long, he is now a little calm.

Several people also sat down and chatted during the break. Chi Jingyuan was scrolling through his mobile phone and at the same time communicating with his agent about the shooting situation. After a while, Chi Jingyuan suddenly saw a piece of news, He turned around with interest and asked: "Is Park Yoochun's sexual assault prosecution progressing so quickly? "The woman surnamed Li withdrew the lawsuit and stated that she was willing"... The case was withdrawn so quickly. Does that mean he is innocent? "

I haven’t paid attention to it for a few days, but the ‘Park Yoochun’ sexual assault case that made a lot of noise in the past few days has actually progressed so fast.

"It's not just the woman surnamed Li who reported the crime at the beginning. You didn't pay attention to it later. In the next few days, three more women came out who said they were sexually assaulted by Park Yoochun. Then more and more people came out, and the commotion became bigger and bigger..." Park Jae-hyun disdainfully He laughed loudly and shook his head: "To be able to make such a big mistake, he must not be clean himself, and withdrawing the case does not mean he is innocent. Who can say for sure about this kind of thing, now these people involved have been restricted I’m traveling, I’ll have to check more later.”

As he spoke, he leaned close to Chi Jingyuan's ear, lowered his voice and broke the news: "I heard that several officials who were handling the case had a party and dinner together at Park Yoochun's villa a few days ago..."

After speaking, he smiled: "But no matter how much he eats, regardless of whether the case is true or false, his reputation has been ruined, and it will be difficult to develop in the circle in the future."

"Tsk, tsk, that's so blatant."

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but shook his head and sighed after hearing this. Looking at the news on his phone, he sighed helplessly: "There are really enough things like this this year."

This year, there have been more scandals than expected in the entertainment industry. News of drunk driving accidents involving artists such as Yoon Sung Mo, SJ Kangin, Lee Chang Myung, Yoon Ji Moon, etc. have been exposed one after another. Several of them are repeat offenders, and recently, Yoo Sang Moo, Park Yoochun, Lee Min Ki, Lee Jin Wook, etc. have all been accused of sexual assault. Since the beginning of the year, the drunk driving team and the sexual assault team have been going back and forth with almost no interruption.

In comparison, the well-known actor Kim Min-hee's "mistress' affair" that caused an uproar in the past two months pales in comparison...

Although it had nothing to do with him, Chi Jingyuan felt that he was affected just by watching the excitement, because these people and the entire industry's reputation had been lowered.

"It's not that simple..." Park Jae-hyun shook his head, as if he knew some in-depth inside story, but he glanced to the side and, due to the surrounding environment, did not go into details and just shrugged: "Anyway, this kind of thing is strange in many places. It’s not weird, but it has nothing to do with us. If they didn’t mess with you Jingyuan, we would just watch the excitement.”

His smile was bright and full of disdain and confidence, and he obviously didn't take these things seriously.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at him and chuckled.

While they were chatting, Chi Jingyuan's cell phone suddenly vibrated, and a call came in.

I took a look and saw that it was Park Zhenying calling.

"Hey, don't worry, what's wrong?"

Chi Jingyuan connected directly and said hello.

As soon as he started talking, Park Jae-hyun who was next to him seemed to have also received the call. He got up and walked away a little further with his cell phone.

"In the evening? I don't have much schedule tonight...eating? Is it tonight...is it necessary?"

After the call was connected, Park Zhenying explained his purpose of coming after a few pleasantries, asked him if he had time in the evening, and said they would have dinner together in the evening.

Together with Park Jin Young and Twice eight people.

Chi Jingyuan hesitated when he heard it.

Although they seemed to have made an appointment before, it had been so long and both of them were so busy with work that Chi Jingyuan actually forgot about it.

Although hesitant, Park Jin Young seemed very enthusiastic, saying that the popularity of "Page Two" and "Cheer Up" helped Twice a lot, and the transformation was also very successful. The children are very grateful to you and so on... and he I haven’t seen Chi Jingyuan for a long time, so we just wanted to have a meal and chat.

Chi Jingyuan heard that Park Jinying was trying to keep in touch with each other, but the Twice members thanked him... There should be this factor as well.

If it’s just for dinner, can Twice and I just eat alone? What is your brother doing with you? If you, as your immediate boss, also come along, how can they still dare to talk freely?

never mind……

"okay, I get it."

After all, as I mentioned before, I happened to have free time in the evening, and it was just one meal. Chi Jingyuan thought about it and agreed.

After saying goodbye and hanging up, Chi Jingyuan took a breath, picked up the orange juice and drank it. After drinking for a while, he realized that there seemed to be someone missing around him.

After waiting for several minutes, Park Jae-hyun trotted over from a distance, his face rosy and looking a little excited.

He walked up to Chi Jingyuan and said in a suppressed excited tone:

"nailed it!"

"What?" Chi Jingyuan looked at him doubtfully.

"It's the one we just talked about...the endorsement of GUCII, it's done!"
