Chapter 368(1/2)
"Anihasay..."
It was almost four o'clock in the morning after I went back last night, and I didn't rest for a few hours. In the morning, I got up again to shoot the commercial. Others didn't know it, but Chi Jingyuan himself was not in good spirits. He faced the initiative in the morning.
Kim Ji-soo smiled and said hello. He smiled and nodded without saying anything.
This girl didn't seem to care about yesterday's initiative to exchange contact information and was ignored. When they met, she still smiled brightly and greeted her as if nothing had happened. Apart from anything else, this artist's mentality is already relatively mature.
When you're an idol, you can't be too thin-skinned, especially when you're still a bit vague and not very popular.
Naturally, Chi Jingyuan was not unusual at all. He had seen similar scenes of being asked for his phone number and confessing his love countless times. Since his debut, he often encountered artists who actively approached him and wanted to exchange contact information. Some of them were popular.
There are ordinary senior entertainers, and some are gorgeous female idols.
Ji Kyung-won, who is the most popular group like EXO and has a very superior appearance, is very popular among female idols in the music industry. He comes into contact with so many male artists every day. Who is average-looking, who relies on makeup, and who is real?
In fact, they are good-looking. These girls have many tricks and methods. They often use makeup artist cody, backup dancers, buying drinks, friends to introduce various means to express their affection, especially during the period of "Roar" and "The Heirs".
Frequently, during that period, Chi Jingyuan would encounter one or two almost every time he went backstage for a song.
In fact, he is not disgusted with this kind of behavior. After all, it is a recognition of his charm and popularity.
Because this commercial shoot is a collaboration with him, it may be a good opportunity for Kim Ji-soo, who has not yet debuted and is still just a trainee, to show her face, but from Ji Kyung-won's perspective, it is just an ordinary advertising cooperation.
, although the impression left by the other party on him was quite special, but it was not to the point of exchanging contact information and becoming friends.
Kim Ji-soo obviously understood a little bit. Although she didn't look any different when we were getting along on the second day of filming, she was obviously more reserved than yesterday, and she didn't submit the matter of changing her number again.
Wearing single clothes and short skirts, she endured the ultra-low temperature and finished shooting the last part of the outdoor pictorial. Kim Ji-soo politely said goodbye to all the staff and Chi Kyung-won. She looked at each other and nodded in return with a smile, then turned around and walked in without any nostalgia.
He disappeared as soon as he got into the nanny car. He curled his lips in a depressed mood, got into the nanny car and started to drive towards the company.
"Jisoo, you have performed really well in the past two days, and you don't look like a newcomer. The PD praised you just now. The TV commercial has not been edited yet, but the effect of the static pictorial is very good, and the brand side also
very satisfied."
"I think with your performance, even if you don't debut in a group, you can debut as an advertising model and become an actor."
After getting in the car, the manager drove with a smile on his face and kept praising her. Kim Ji Soo seemed a little lackluster and slumped lazily in the back seat, clinging to her like a piece of soft clay with no strength at all.
In her seat, when she heard the manager's praise, she raised her lower lip and said in a familiar and coquettish tone: "Is it really that good? Oppa, if you continue to praise me like this, I will be proud."
The manager smiled heartily and seemed to like Jin Ji Soo's tone very much: "Haha, it's really good. I didn't look at Ji Jingyuan's manager at first. The manager Park Jae Hyun didn't even care about the way he looked at us. We just met yesterday.
At that time, it was made clear that he was a little dissatisfied with your status as a trainee... When it was over, he took the initiative to come over and nod goodbye, obviously his opinion of you has changed a lot."
"Oppa, you actually remember it so clearly..." Although the commercial shooting was completed perfectly and the brand and PD were very satisfied, Kim Ji-soo was in a bad mood for no reason. Even with the praise of the agent she met, she could barely cheer up.
He forced a smile and replied a few words, but from time to time he glanced out the window and thought about other things.
After returning to the company and following her manager, she first went to have a small meeting with the room manager to talk about the commercial shooting. Then Jin Jixiu said goodbye to them and returned to the practice room. As soon as the door opened, only her friend Jin Zhini, whom she knew, was sitting there with her legs crossed.
play cell phone.
"I'm back." Jin Zhini raised her head and glanced at her, then continued to stare down at the phone and said hello casually. After a few seconds, she seemed to suddenly remember something, raised her head again, blinked and looked at Jin Zhixiu, and stood up on her own initiative.
He came over and said, "By the way, how was the advertising shoot? Is Chi Jingyuan handsome in person? What's his personality like? Does he have a big air?"
When he saw her coming in, he said "I'm back" without raising his head. When asked about the handsome guy, he came over so enthusiastically to post a sticker. His arrogant attitude made Jin Jixiu roll her eyes in annoyance, and walked to the side to get a bottle of water.
, while opening it, he replied not very enthusiastically: "The filming is over...it's not like you haven't seen him before, and you ask so many questions."
"Oh, how long ago that happened, and I took a look at that time, and the light was not very bright..." Jin Zhini didn't care about the other party's slight indifference, she came to the side and said with interest with eyes shining with longing: "After all,
How about it? I heard from friends in the industry that Chi Jingyuan doesn’t seem to be very photogenic. In real life, he is awesome, but his personality doesn’t seem to be very good and he is quite difficult to get close to..."
"Well..." Jin Zhixiu withdrew her left hand that was inadvertently held by Jennie. Thinking of the experience of being ignored last night, she still feels a little angry and embarrassed. She glared like a fish and waved her hands, looking a little tired: "Absolutely.
.”
"Almost? Is that true? Wow, I heard from a friend that Chi Jingyuan is probably one of the prettiest male idols, but it's a pity that I can't get in touch with him... By the way, do you want your contact information?"
"...No, why do you need contact information?" Jin Zhixiu knew that she would be asked this question before she came back. She had already thought of the answer and shook her head firmly to deny it.
Even if they are familiar friends who practice together, girls care more about face issues related to honor, so it is impossible for her to tell the truth.
Not to mention in front of Jin Zhini.
"Oh, what a pity. If I had taken the initiative, I would have asked for the phone number," Jennie grinned with a disappointed look on her face, as if Kim Ji Soo had done something hugely wrong.
"..." Jin Jixiu rolled her eyes again, and asked speechlessly: "If you ask for Chi Jingyuan, I won't necessarily give it to you. He is EXO's TOP, and the top artist who ranked second in Peninsula artist income last year, he will
Do you know who you are?"
As she spoke, there was a different flavor in her tone.
"Of course I want it. How do you know not to give it to me? I absolutely want it...and the rumors say that. Who knows what Chi Jingyuan is like in private? Maybe he likes to play with trainees.
Just like those people from BigBang, I have seen and heard too much in the circle, how can anyone be really aloof..."
Jin Zhini snorted with real disdain, and then smacked her lips with a little fantasy hope: "If I can really date Chi Jingyuan for a period of time, it would be so shameless to tell the truth..."
"..." Jin Zhixiu sighed and said nothing.
Although she is already very familiar with and understands some of this friend's ideas and concepts, sometimes Kim Ji Soo still feels that there are some differences and generation gaps between the two on this topic.
Seeing Jin Zhini's expression as if she was already imagining what she would do after dating Chi Jingyuan, Jin Zhixiu shook her head and didn't say much, too lazy to break her somewhat naive hopes.
When you meet him, you will know what kind of person he is.
Dating? Let alone dating, I admire you for getting your phone number.
…………
"I asked you to get your driver's license quickly in the middle of last year, why did you only get it now?"
After two days of busy work after filming this commercial, Chi Jingyuan finally passed the driver's license test and finally became a licensed person who could drive by himself. After that, he went home at the invitation of his second brother.
I had a meal with my second brother who took the time to wait for him at home.
After eating and sitting on the sofa, Chi Jingxu looked at the driver's license his brother showed to him, curled his lips and said something contemptuously.
"Then what can I do? I was so busy at that time that I never had time to take the exam. Didn't I already get it?" Chi Jingyuan, who had just finished eating, lay lazily on the sofa, hugging a pillow and looking like he was about to fall asleep.
Look.
"I see you have a lot of time. Didn't the people in your group run away one after another last year? How about it, will anyone run away this year?"
"No, the ones who left before were mainly because they had a way out. After returning to Xia Kingdom, the company can't restrict them, and they can't win the lawsuit even if they run away. They will still have to split the money with the company... XO
The rest of the people except me are all members from Peninsula. If they run away from the Peninsula music industry within the contract, they will be easily banned by SM, just like those members of TVXQ..."
Chi Jingyuan actually sees this very clearly: "And the company has actually given XO a lot of resources. In addition to group resources, each member has also given a lot of personal information, including variety shows, advertisements, fashion, musicals, etc.
There are all kinds of TV dramas. Not to mention compared with other companies, just being in SM and being EXO with other people is already relatively happy."
"But I read that the reviews online are not very optimistic about your group. With so many people quitting, this group has no hope of reaching the top or going further."
Chi Jingxu seems to have paid special attention to the current situation of EXO. He teased and expressed concern: "Is there anything else to say this year?"
"Do you still have time to watch these online?"
Chi Jingyuan glanced at his second brother in surprise, snorted and snapped his fingers confidently: "Explanation? You should wait and see carefully this year."
"Tsk...don't wait for me for a long time and you have to withdraw a few people, EXO will be disbanded..." Seeing his brother's proud and confident look, he felt a little unhappy, sneered and cursed, and then Chi Jingxu
He took the initiative to stand up and kicked Chi Jingyuan's legs: "Let's go to the garage and have a look."
"Well..." Upon hearing this, Chi Jingyuan exhaled and stood up, following his second brother and walking towards the underground garage.
This is also the main purpose of his return home this time. Now that he has obtained his driver's license, he will buy a car and drive it by himself. His family has many cars. On his birthday last year, his family even bought him a few as gifts, but he has not been able to drive them.
There is no chance to open it.
Walking into the underground garage, Chi Jingyuan saw at a glance a dozen or so cars neatly arranged in a row opposite. The six cars on the left were all exaggerated and brightly colored supercars, with several arrogant logos and ultra-low cars on the front.
The chassis seems to be expensive and not suitable for ordinary people to drive. Although the cars on the right are also very good, they seem a bit ordinary in comparison.
"Didn't you say before that you are an artist and are not good at driving expensive cars, and your personality is not that flamboyant and likes to show off... Then, these are specially prepared for you..."
Chi Jingxu noticed the look in his brother's eyes, smiled with satisfaction, walked in front and pointed to a few cars on the right and began to introduce: "These are mid-to-high-end cars with prices of several hundred million won, in their respective styles and models.
It’s top-notch, even if it’s an artist driving it, there will be absolutely no problem.”
"You know me quite well." Chi Jingyuan laughed and walked closer to take a closer look.
Many people in the peninsula have longing for wealth as well as hatred and jealousy. As a celebrity, driving an overly expensive sports car is likely to have a bad impact.
But to be honest, this is only one aspect. It is mainly because of Chi Jingyuan's own personality. He is still a little reserved when it comes to driving. Even if the price is not an issue for him at all, but let him drive a multi-billion dollar car.
He couldn't do such a thing as taking a super sports car to the streets and attracting everyone's attention while blowing up the street parade with its roaring engine.
And he thinks this approach is stupid and low.
The price of several hundred million is just right. It’s not too expensive and it’s a good enough grade...A little higher would actually be OK.
Most EXO members buy cars with prices ranging from tens of millions to 100 million. Although they have been out for two years, their share of the profits is actually not too much. However, if there is a second tour this year, the band will tour for two consecutive years.
The income and sharing will immediately fill the pockets of XO members.
Except for Tao who has left, Tao's family seems to be quite wealthy. He already drove the latest Maserati last year. After buying it, he showed it off among the members, which also caused a stir among the fans.
Quite a discussion.
Seeing Chi Jingyuan approaching, the second brother began to explain briefly: "These are all two-door coupes. There is a Mercedes SLS AMG over there, a 2014 Black Series, and the main model is Gull.
To be continued...
