Peninsula Asteroid

If it is to show off, it is not difficult for Ji Jingyuan, who is an idol, and Lee Dongxu, who has been a model, to walk with a breeze.

However, it is also necessary to match the handsome and cool expression, eyes, demeanor and even posture, which is not so simple. In addition, the steps of Ji Jingyuan and Lee Dongxu must be basically the same, which requires cooperation and practice from both of them. The "walking scene" of just a few dozen meters is really not that simple.

After rehearsing back and forth for nearly an hour, there were basically no problems. Before walking, Ji Jingyuan, who was curled up in the cold, was sweating.

After returning, the photographer and the props were making the final preparations before the shooting, while Ji Jingyuan stood with Lee Dongxu, asking CODY to touch up his makeup and tidy up his bangs, while communicating with Lee Dongxu about shooting the frequency of steps together later.

Through this period of cooperation and partnership, although Lee Dong-wook is a quiet and slightly introverted person in private, due to Chi Jingyuan's own popularity and personality, as well as the other party's intention to make friends, he and this brother have become very familiar with each other.

Soon, Lee Eung-bok had begun to confirm the preparations of all departments. When the shooting was about to start, the assistant director next to him came over quickly with a stagehand, holding a glass full of ice cubes and handed it over: "Dongxuxi, this is the prepared ice cubes." Seeing Lee Dongxu nodded and looked like he was picking ice cubes, Chi Jingyuan asked curiously: "What is this for?" "Oh, Jingyuan didn't come yesterday so I didn't know..." The assistant director glanced at him and explained softly: "The director mentioned it yesterday. The underworld messenger played by Dongxuxi is in the form of a ghost in the setting, and he doesn't have the body temperature of a normal person, so he won't produce white mist when breathing in cold temperatures. So in this scene, in order to avoid breathing, he needs to keep holding ice cubes." After that, he added: "By the way, the underworld messenger also has no shadow, but there is no way to deal with this, it can only be processed in post-production..." Oh~ Chi Jingyuan understood what he said, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart. The fact that the underworld messenger breathes without white mist is really a detail. The crew of "Goblin" is amazingly attentive in this regard. Often, the strength and seriousness of a crew in all aspects are reflected in such small details.

But... I don't know how many NGs I will have to make later. In such a cold day, I have to hold an ice cube in my mouth the whole time...

Looking at Lee Dong-wook who was picking ice cubes in the cup, Chi Jingyuan's eyes became strange.

As if he noticed his gaze, Lee Dong-wook exhaled and patted his shoulder gently. His voice and eyes were full of expectations and optimism, and he didn't seem to care much: "Jingyuan, Fighting~"

But Chi Jingyuan felt that his voice seemed to be a little trembling, and he didn't know if it was because of the cold... He suddenly thought that this brother was quite cute.

"Action!"

Everything was ready. With the director's order, today's highlight officially started shooting.

In the silent street, with the hazy lighting coming directly from behind, two tall and long-legged figures wearing pure black long windbreakers began their catwalk under the clear and deep night sky.

Although it seemed to be almost done during the practice just now, various problems still occurred when filming.

"Don't walk so fast!"

"Jingyuan, look! Look! Be cooler, you are going to save people and show off, not to eat..."

"Catwalk, do you know what catwalk is!"

"What are you laughing at?...Haha..."

In addition to some coordination errors, walking with a cool face in front of so many people will create a very funny atmosphere, and there will often be laughter. In addition to Ji Jingyuan, Lee Dongxu himself often couldn't help laughing. The two of them walked this short road of less than 100 meters countless times. When Ji Jingyuan was sweating all over, and Lee Dongxu's mouth was frozen and he couldn't speak, this section was finally almost filmed.

"This lighting is really nice."

Ji Jingyuan looked at the clips just shot on the monitor, especially the close-up of his expression walking slowly against the light, and the scene of him and Lee Dong-wook walking side by side, and exclaimed with satisfaction: "Brother is really handsome."

"..."

Lee Dong-wook next to him patted his shoulder to show his gratitude... Maybe he couldn't speak because he had been holding ice cubes in his mouth for too long.

"Well, very good..." Lee Eung-bok also nodded with satisfaction, saying his wild ideas:

"When the time comes, do some slow motion processing, and it will definitely be more atmospheric with the background music... Add some smoke rendering later to create a hazy sense of mystery, tsk..."

Lee Eung-bok is really a director with a lot of ideas. He has a lot of inspiration for this shot. Just listening to him makes Ji Jingyuan look forward to seeing the final product and the audience's reaction when they see this episode.

After this segment is finished, it will be Bae Suzy's turn. In addition to Ji Jingyuan and Lee Dong-wook's catwalk today, her role is also very important.

The most important thing is the close-up of her expression when she saw the male lead and male second played by Ji Kyung-won and Lee Dong-wook when they teleported over to save her.

This plot started when she was taken away by the Vitality Club that loaned money to her aunt at high interest rates. In the midst of extreme panic, worry and grievance, she suddenly saw two people descending from the sky to save her like gods descending to earth.

It was a strong emotional expression of moving, surprise, grievance, happiness, and other complex emotions combined together and then she shed tears.

This kind of layered crying scene sounds difficult, and it is even more difficult to perform.

"Cut..."

After filming his part, Chi Jingyuan put on a coat and sat behind the director watching Bae Suzy's performance on the monitor.

As expected, as he expected, the filming was not very smooth. From just now to now, he had NG several times, and each time it was the same problem, either the eyes were not in place, or the emotions were superficial, and the worst, he couldn't cry, or the taste of crying was not right.

Bae Suzy's hit drama "Architecture 101" mainly won with her appearance, temperament and personality. There is nothing to say about her performance. The subsequent TV dramas received mediocre responses. From the plot to the performance, the reviews were not very good.

So in Chi Jingyuan's opinion, Bae Suzy's acting talent is not particularly good, just above average... probably a little better than senior Yoona.

To be honest, Chi Jingyuan was not very confident that he could perform well in this kind of close-up crying scene with rich emotions. It was indeed a bit too difficult for Bae Suzy.

Moreover, in Chi Jingyuan's impression, this woman has always appeared as a skilled, indifferent, and occasionally funny image. He has never seen her cry in private. Her face and personality gave him the feeling that this woman had never encountered any setbacks and would not cry at all... Even if she cried, it was just pretending.

...I don't know how many times the director will have to NG before his patience runs out. Due to time and progress, I just let her go through...

Looking at Bae Suzy on the monitor, her eyes were red and she was obviously brewing real emotions, but she was still listening to the director's instructions very seriously, Ji Jingyuan suddenly became absent-minded, and inexplicably remembered some experiences and scenes during the filming of "Goblin".

From the acting that was evaluated as empty and superficial in "Uncontrollably Fond" to the direct seamless connection with "Goblin", Bae Suzy's performance was not satisfactory at first. Although her appearance and personality are somewhat similar to the heroine Ji Eun-tak, and she has a sense of true character, she has always been mediocre in the details of the performance, especially the expression of emotions. She is the one who NGs the most in the entire crew.

It was only with constant polishing and NG that Bae Suzy's acting skills improved at a jaw-dropping speed in the next period of time.

Ji Jingyuan often left the crew for a few days because of his idol's schedule. Every time he came back, he could clearly feel Bae Suzy's improvement in the filming level, and he felt more and more integrated into the role and familiar with it.

If we compare Bae Suzy's performance in "Goblin" with the performance of Yoona in "The K2" that he followed from beginning to end... we can only say that there is a gap between the best actresses.

I don't know if Bae Suzy took any stimulants or picked up a performance secret book from somewhere...

Ji Jingyuan heard her casually mention that this woman knew that her acting skills were average and she also knew her shortcomings, so she paid more attention to the expression of emotions and found a way that she was good at and did well... emotional substitution, using her real emotions to substitute into the role and performance.

She said it very well, but it's not that easy...

Ji Jingyuan sneered at her statement.

However... he suddenly saw the first scene when this woman had rice on her head, but she smiled and made a scissors hand gesture to her, and the scene that she had been studying the script and practicing by herself all the time during this period. He paused slightly in his heart, shook his head and laughed.

Maybe... she really values ​​this opportunity, so she really works hard, the kind that tries her best.

"Aciton."

The shooting started again, Ji Jingyuan hugged his chest and wrapped himself in a down jacket, tilted his head and looked at the monitor, waiting for the director to say "NG" again.

But this time it seemed a little different, Bae Suzy in the camera stared at the camera in front of her, her eyes flickered, her expression was slightly stunned, as if she saw some incredible person appear in front of her, and then her emotions obviously progressed and sublimated, surprise, touching, grievance, all kinds of complex emotions perfectly blended together, along with tears, as if it was the most sincere expression from the depths of the soul, crystal clear like a silent poem.

"Cut! Very good!" Li Yingfu next to him clapped his hands excitedly and shouted,

Ji Jingyuan also looked over in surprise... He thought that this shot would have to be shot until tomorrow, and he was just about to go find some midnight snacks.

Originally, he wanted to look at the hero who had greatly accelerated the filming progress, and express his surprise and praise with his eyes, but after he looked over, he found that Bae Suzy did not stop performing because of the director's "CUT", but still looked completely immersed in emotions.

I don't know what she remembered, her originally innocent face wrinkled, tears welled up, she lowered her head and covered her face and sobbed. Even through the monitor, Chi Jingyuan could feel the sadness in her heart.

Until her assistant ran over quickly with a down jacket, she hugged her assistant and buried her head in it, crying uncontrollably.

…………

“First, it’s photo time. There will be Ji Jingyuanxi, Bae Suzyxi, Lee Dong-wookxi, Liu Innaxi, and Lu Xingcaixi. Just go on stage in the order I call your name.”

“First, the protagonist of “Goblin”, Ji Jingyuanxi! Wow, he’s wearing a very handsome suit today… The most popular young actor Ji Jingyuanxi, who has never failed, has transformed into an immortal goblin this time. He is a hero, but died as a traitor. He has an immortal life. Only when he meets the goblin bride who can pull out the sword of his heart can he break this eternal curse…”

“…The next one is the actor, Lee Dong-wookxi…”

“The next one is Bae Suzyxi…”

On November 26, the crew of “Goblin” held a pre-broadcast production press conference at the Patio9 Auditorium in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul. Hundreds of magazine media attended the event, and the director of “Goblin” Lee Eung-bok, the writer Kim Eun-sook, and all the leading actors were present.

The first was the media photo session. Under the guidance of the host of the press conference, several leading actors walked onto the stage one by one.

"Okay, after the individual photos, it's time for the couple photos!" The host's voice sounded very powerful, with a little smile: "First, Chi Jingyuanxi and Bae Suzyxi..."

After hearing the host's command, Chi Jingyuan and Bae Suzy, who had just come down, walked out of the crowd together and walked onto the stage amidst the flashing flashes.

Chi Jingyuan wore a light-colored suit with a turtleneck sweater, tall and handsome, and looked a little mature, while Bae Suzy wore a dark plain pleated long skirt, with a delicate and elegant short hair, wearing a pair of just-right pointed high heels, and standing next to Chi Jingyuan was just a little lower. When the two stood there, many people immediately thought of the word "handsome man and beautiful woman", which instantly made many reporters' eyes light up.

After Bae Suzy stood still, she naturally embraced Chi Jingyuan's arm in the shooting of the media, which immediately increased the frequency of the flashes.

Although some trailers and promotional photos of the male and female protagonists have been released before, this press conference is the first time that the two male and female protagonists of "Goblin" have appeared in front of the public as a partner couple... and they will continue to maintain this identity during the next two months of the TV series.

Although the TV series has not been broadcast yet and the plot has not been shown yet, the appearance of Ji Jingyuan and Bae Suzy seems to be very eye-catching. Under the command of the host, the two of them posed several intimate actions, hugging shoulders and holding hands. Later, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Suzy couldn't hold back their laughter and all the reporters took a good photo.

Then the second male and female protagonists, Lee Dong-wook and Liu Inna, also went on stage to take photos together. At the end, under the host's obviously excited voice, Ji Jingyuan and Lee Dong-wook actually went on stage to take photos together for a while.

... In the drama "Goblin", the male protagonist and the second male protagonist have a lot of rival scenes, which have a very subtle chemical reaction, and there is a feeling of male-male CP. Many female viewers like to watch this, which is also a major publicity and hype point of the crew.

After the photo session, the stagehands and assistants quickly began to tidy up the stage and set up tables. After everything was ready, several leading actors, directors and writers took their seats and began the most important interview session of this press conference.

"Nice to meet you all, I am director Lee Eung-bok, thank you..."

"Aniha Saiyo..."

Starting with Lee Eung-bok, all the actors and creators sat on the stage and introduced themselves and greeted each other.

After everyone introduced the director and writer, they talked about their creative thoughts. After ten minutes, the foreplay ended and the reporter question session officially began.

When the questions were about to begin, facing the hundreds of reporters holding cameras below, the smiles of Chi Jingyuan and several actors who had taken photos before faded unconsciously, and the atmosphere inexplicably became serious.

The reason for the seriousness was that the situation on the peninsula was really not good recently. Chi Jingyuan and others had anticipated that they might be asked some sensitive questions that were not easy to answer.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from Peninsula Daily. Although the atmosphere just now was really harmonious, I'll still play the villain and ask some difficult questions."

Sure enough, the first reporter made Chi Jingyuan and several actors' smiles fade as soon as she spoke. She asked calmly with a hint of doubt: "First of all, the recent situation is not very good. What kind of expectations do you have for the upcoming "Goblin" during this period? Secondly, I want to know what writer Nim thinks about Ha Jiyuanxi's comments and controversies about the Giloline incident?"

As soon as this reporter spoke, the atmosphere in the field became obviously serious. Chi Jingyuan glanced to the side and felt that Kim Eun-sook's expression had changed a little when being asked.

And in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

As this reporter said, the recent... situation is not very good.

The "girlfriend incident" that shocked the entire peninsula before has intensified. After everything has been confirmed, the anger of the people of the entire peninsula is like a volcanic eruption, and they express their protests against Qingtai at the top of their lungs. Large-scale demonstrations have been held several times.

And just today, it has been announced that a very large candlelight march will be held in the evening. It is estimated that the number of participants will exceed two million, making it the largest since the incident began.

At a glance, it seems that there is chaos and unrest everywhere.

The 'Ji Luolin incident' that this reporter refers to refers to the news that the TV station just broke two days ago that 'the hostess surnamed Qingtai Park once used 'Ji Luolin' as a pseudonym when she went to the hospital privately for medical treatment under the arrangement of her best friend. .

The name Gilolin is the name of the heroine of the once popular Korean drama "Secret Garden", played by Ha Ji Won. When being interviewed at the press conference the day before yesterday, Ha Ji Won made quite sensitive remarks about this.

And coincidentally, the writer of the drama "Secret Garden" is also Kim Eun-sook... So many people naturally contacted the upcoming "Goblin", and the "Goblin" that was originally popular before it was aired was inexplicably pushed to the front of many people's eyes. , I still don’t know why it got involved in the ZZ incident.

Some people with evil intentions are still fanning the flames on the Internet, saying that continuing to broadcast entertainment TV series at this time is "irresponsible to the country", suggesting that TV series be postponed, and other remarks that are usually ridiculous but are now very sensitive.

There is no way, the current situation on the entire peninsula is like this, all walks of life have been greatly affected, and the entertainment industry is even more chilly. If you are not careful, some behaviors and words that are normal in normal times may be criticized at this time. People make fuss.

Under this general environment, many previously scheduled warm-up plans of the "Ghost" crew have been directly interrupted, and some publicity plans have also been greatly affected. Even today's press conference seemed very low-key.

Yesterday, actors Chi Kyung-won and Kim Eun-sook and Lee Eung-bok had dinner together and discussed whether today's press conference should be more relaxed or serious... In the end, they could only decide to be cautious and let nature take its course.

"...Although the situation is not good, I just hope that our TV series can be a time for everyone to take a break. Those who want to cry can cry, and those who want to laugh can laugh..."

Kim Eun-sook's voice trembled a little when she answered such a sensitive question, but although this sister looks girlish, she has really come all the way. Her emotional intelligence is really high, and her answers are flawless.

Chi Jingyuan glanced down... He always felt that the reporter who asked the question seemed a little disappointed.

But fortunately, it wasn't all questions with obvious bad intentions. There were also special arrangements by TvN and the crew, and soon people started asking about things related to the plot.

"Jing Yuanxi, can you tell me why you took on this drama?"

"Writer Kim Eun-sook's last film "Descendants of the Sun" was a huge success. Will the performance pressure for "Goblin" be very high?"

"Suzy XI, how did it feel to film with Kyung Won Xi..."

Various questions kept popping up, and some sensitive topics were inevitably mixed in with the normal questions. The atmosphere of the entire press conference was harmonious for a while, and serious for a while. The two contradictory atmospheres kept changing back and forth, and the actors also Sometimes the smile is bright, and sometimes the smile is flat, and no one can relax for a moment...it feels a little funny inexplicably.

At the end of the day, a female reporter raised her hand. After being called by the host, she looked at Chi Jingyuan and others above with a faint smile on her face:

"I am a reporter from MBN Star... What I want to say is that we are also looking forward to writer Park Ji-eun's recent hit work "The Legend of the Blue Sea."

As soon as this reporter was halfway through speaking, Chi Jingyuan and several others on the stage frowned secretly, with questions on their faces.

"I'm curious about the writer Nim, and whether any of the actors have watched that show. Coincidentally, like "Goblin", the protagonists of "Blue" are also immortal beings. There are some differences between the two works in some places. The settings are very similar... although this is an inevitable problem encountered in fantasy themes..."

"But..." She paused deliberately, as if to imply something, and then asked in a pointed tone: ""Blue" has achieved extremely high ratings and popularity after it was broadcast last week... I think I ask The question is, how do you view this competition with similar themes?”

I’ll sort out the plot of the ghost tonight.

Will update later tomorrow
