Chapter 326 A group of idiots

"Do you have time tonight? Come out for a drink!"

Sunny didn't even say hello when she called me, she just sent him an invitation directly.

However, her tone and tone sounded a bit muffled in Chi Jingyuan's ears, and she was obviously not in a good mood.

Unlike Kim Taeyeon, who is an addicted drinker, although Sunny has a good drinking capacity, she has never called Chi Kyung-won for drinking a few times after knowing her for so long. She must have encountered something when she suddenly called her this time.

"Nuna is so interested today..." Chi Jingyuan chuckled and did not refuse: "I have time, but by the time I finish filming today, it will probably be past midnight. I don't know if Nuna..."

"OK, then at this time, you call it a day and let me know, and I will send you the address." Before Chi Jingyuan could finish speaking, Sunny took the initiative to interrupt and immediately made the decision.

"OK, see you later." After making the appointment, Chi Jingyuan hung up the phone and did not go back directly but stood there and thought for a while.

Sunny is the first senior artist he met when he came to the company, and he has become very familiar with her now. The main reason is that the two of them have similar personalities and can often tell what the other is thinking just by looking at each other. Moreover, they are also very pure friends and sisters.

The relationship between brothers is not mixed with any other factors, so getting along with each other is very natural and there are not so many taboos.

This feels really good.

So she just asked Chi Jingyuan to come out for a meal and a drink or something without even making an excuse. Chi Jingyuan would definitely agree if he had time, but when the other party obviously has something to do, he doesn't have time.

I will take the time to pay attention to it.

I just don't know what the situation was that made Chi Jingyuan, who had always been relatively calm and seen everything more clearly, become in a bad mood and needed to talk to someone.

But when we met in the evening, it became clear.

After Chi Jingyuan made up his mind, he quickly walked back and continued to sit where he was, eating the unfinished fried noodles while listening to the actors and actresses chatting about the hottest news recently.

I don’t know whether it’s been cursed or something has gone wrong in Peninsula Entertainment recently. Scandals are really happening these days. Not long ago, the news about Kim Hyun Joong and Song Hye Kyo just dropped a little bit. Two days ago, the blackmail case of Lee Byung Hun was exposed.

event.

According to media reports, not long ago, Kim Da-hee, a member of the girl group GLAM, and her model friend Lee Ji-yeon blackmailed the famous Peninsula actor Lee Byung-hun in an attempt to obtain 5 billion won in hush money.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately shocked the entire Peninsula entertainment industry.

After attracting a lot of attention, the large and small media also began to swarm reports, and within two days the details of the incident were dug out.

It is said that one day in August this year, Kim Da-hee, Lee Ji-yeon, and Lee Byung-hun, a man and two women, had a party in a very private place. Some said it was a KTV and others said it was at Lee Ji-yeon's house, but this is not the point.

Anyway, just know it's very private.

While they were drinking and chatting, Li Bingxian said some obscene words to them that affected their image, and asked a lot of provocative questions.

This scene happened to be secretly recorded by two women on their mobile phones. Afterwards, they asked Li Bingxian for money and threatened to put the video on the Internet if they did not pay.

It's just that Li Byung-hun was really tough and told the agency immediately. After some discussion, he called the police and arrested the two women.

As soon as the news came out, people were surprised. What they were most curious about was what exactly Li Byung-hun said that could lead to being blackmailed into silence.

You must know that Lee Byung-hun, who once worked in Hollywood, is considered one of the most successful big shots in the Peninsula film and television industry. His image has always been very good. After getting married last year, he has always appeared in public as a good husband and a good man.

Many passers-by have a good impression of him.

After digging deeper, the video of Lee Byung-hun being filmed was finally exposed on Channel A's news program "News Top 10". In the video, he asked several questions in a YD tone.

For example, "When was your first experience? How did it feel?"

“Which one is more important, appearance or time?”

"Look at which part of me is more exciting..." and other direct and obscene words.

After these videos and conversations were exposed, countless people were shocked, and their filter of Lee Byung-hun's reputation as an actor and a good man was shattered.

Although he was very forceful in sending the two blackmailing female artists in, his image also suffered a huge blow, and the public's impression of him suddenly plummeted. In the past few days, he said in the video

Those words have become popular words among some old men when they drink in private.

"Has Li Byung-hun been around for a long time? He is already so old, so he must be taking medicine."

"'What do you think I'm more excited about?' If it were me, I think his nose looks pretty good..."

In the past two days, Chi Jingyuan often heard the staff smoking and laughing and talking about this matter in the crew, with a playful tone. Several middle-aged VJs and floor managers looked at each other with a greasy look.

All came out.

Lee Byung-hun unknowingly became a middle-aged friend.

The crew members chatted unscrupulously in private, but Chi Jingyuan, who is also an actor, could not be so unbridled. They just talked about the matter casually and expressed their own opinions.

And to be honest, although they have a good relationship with each other on the surface, they are not very familiar with each other. I don’t know who is spreading the word. If someone hears it, it will offend others without knowing it.

Chi Jingyuan, who was very interested, went to check the information of the girl group GLAM, and was surprised to find that the operating company of this girl group is actually Big Hit, the company of BTS, and it is the first girl group operated by Big Hit.

BTS has still not recovered from Wu's incident, and now GLAM has come out with this blackmail scandal again. This economic company is really very similar to SM, both of which are a bit unlucky.

After dinner, the crew resumed filming. After this period of intensive filming, the recent progress has been very good. Now they are almost finished filming the first few episodes before the official broadcast. However, there is still a lot of post-production work left.

Among them, Chi Jingyuan has many narrations that he needs to dub himself after editing.

Because the progress is very gratifying, and there are still nearly 20 days until the official launch, time has suddenly become a bit abundant. Since yesterday, I have not been as busy as before at two or three in the morning every day. Recently, the crew has been meeting at almost 12 o'clock.

Call it a day and get off work.

Work officially ended at 12:30. Chi Jingyuan went directly to the parking lot after saying goodbye with a smile to the others.

"Going back?" Cui Zhichang, the driver's assistant, looked back at him and asked, while Park Jae-hyun, the co-pilot, was looking at Chi Jingyuan's recent itinerary and said nothing.

"Don't go back yet, wait a moment..."

Chi Jingyuan quickly sent a message without looking up. He soon received a reply from Sunny.

Chi Jingyuan smiled when he saw the address. It was the barbecue restaurant where he and Sunny first met and ate.

"Brother, this is the address." Chi Jingyuan brought the phone to Cui Zhichang and took a look at it. The other party looked at it carefully and nodded, saying "I know" and started driving the car.

Seoul Plaza is still a bit far away from SM Company, but it was already late and there were not many cars on the road. It didn't take long to reach the alley entrance of the barbecue restaurant as we drove all the way.

"Brother, please go have some late-night snacks first. It will probably take a long time for me to get here." Before getting off the car, Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and turned around to warn him.

"I know, let's find a place to park nearby and get something to eat later. Jingyuan, just send a message when you're done." Park Jae-hyun made an 'OK' gesture and watched Chi Jingyuan leave and go to the agreed place.

After walking a few steps, Chi Jingyuan stood at the door of the barbecue restaurant called Dan Cook. Looking at the familiar sign, he suddenly felt some inexplicable feelings in his heart.

He averted his eyes and walked back into the store. Although the lights were still bright, there were no customers in the lobby at this time. The boss waiting at the front desk recognized Chi Jingyuan at a glance when he saw him without a mask, and hurriedly walked out and smiled.

He said hello: "Jingyuan Xi, come find Shun Gyu. She is in that box and has been waiting for you for a while."

"Inside, Kang Sangmita." Chi Jingyuan smiled and nodded. Under the leadership of the other party, he came to the box and opened the door. He knocked lightly on the door and then pushed it open and walked in.

It was still the small private room with a small area. Sunny was sitting at the back of the table and flipping through his mobile phone. After hearing the sound, he raised his head and glanced at Chi Jingyuan who walked in. He raised his chin at him and treated it as a slap.

He said hello and pointed to the seat in front of him to indicate that he could sit wherever he wanted. At the same time, he looked at the boss at the door: "Onie, let's serve the food. The wine will also be served directly. Just follow the order I just ordered."

Sunny is currently wearing light yellow short-sleeved shirts and denim shorts. She has put on some light makeup on her face to cover her flaws. She has loose bangs in front of her forehead and glances to the left. She has a ponytail tied behind her head. The overall look is pretty.

To be casual and natural.

"Okay." The boss responded and went to work quickly.

The dishes must have been prepared in advance, and soon the cart next to the box was filled with meat and vegetables. Brand-new charcoal fire was also added to the oven on the table, and the whole room suddenly became hot.

"I guess you must be hungry, Jingyuan, so late at night, so you're too lazy to go to the bar." Sunny put down her phone and glanced at Chi Jingyuan, seeming to be quite interested in his hairstyle with thick bangs.

As she spoke, she casually picked up her chopsticks and pointed at the dishes next to her: "I've already ordered the food just now. If you want to eat anything else, just tell me."

"It's pretty good." Chi Jingyuan glanced around and nodded with satisfaction: "The crew had dinner a little early in the evening. I was so hungry when we were filming just now. Noona really understands me."

Although Sunny acted relatively calmly, Chi Jingyuan could clearly feel the faint gloomy aura on her body. However, he did not take the initiative to say anything. After the two of them poured wine, they ate together and chatted casually about the recent past.

things.

"How's the recent filming going? I don't think the Internet is very optimistic about it." Putting a few pieces of pork belly on the grill, Sunny fiddled with it with chopsticks and asked without raising his head.

"There are so many people who are not optimistic about it. Last year, before the release of "The Heirs", they all disliked us because of our idol status. I didn't know what the scolding was like at that time... These people don't understand at all.

, will start making noises."

At this time, Chi Jingyuan had no more cover-ups and taboos, and casually spoke out some of the truth in his heart: "I think it's pretty good that I've been in the group for so long. Whether it's the script or the actors, or even the level of the director, screenwriter, and other creatives.

Everything is OK, the ratings should be able to meet expectations."

"If "Misheng" becomes a hit, wouldn't you have three TV series in a row that became hits?"

Looking up and looking at Chi Jingyuan in surprise, Sunny raised his wine glass as if he were holding it: "Then let me congratulate you in advance, Actor Chi."

"Then I'll thank you in advance." Chi Jingyuan raised his glass and clinked it with her with a smile. The two looked at each other and laughed before drinking it down in one gulp.

After putting down the glass, Sunny pondered for a few seconds as if thinking about what to say. He looked over with a more serious expression: "How are you XO doing recently after the guy named Luhan quit?"

Chi Jingyuan filled up the wine: "What about it? Is it our members themselves? Or is it the company's arrangement? Or is it the fans?"

"Let's talk about it, I'm quite interested." Sunny took the initiative to give Chi Jingyuan some meat and looked at him with a squinted smile.

"As for us, the atmosphere in the group was very bad in those days. In fact, including me, I felt a little uncomfortable. I felt betrayed and sad about the departure of a close friend. After that, the other two

A member of the Xia Kingdom line was ostracized or isolated for a few days because of this incident, but it gradually got better."

"It's just that the cracks have already occurred. Even if the surface is glued, the inside is still hollow."

Chi Jingyuan wrapped the delicious pork belly in it, let out a sigh of relief, and then said: "As for the company, except for the important stage, our group activities have basically been suspended since then. The members are all running for personal information. We will return next time
