The crew acted very quickly, probably because they were really satisfied with Chi Kyung-yuan's performance, and sent the invitation and contract to SM Company the next day.
SM's contact personnel have received instructions from the top management before and are open to all personal invitations contacted by Chi Kyung-yuan. They have no intention of blocking them. They just coordinate the shooting time so as not to affect EXO-K. some team activities.
The two parties had a pleasant discussion and reached an agreement quickly.
In this way, Chi Jingyuan will definitely participate in the TV series "Reply 1997" and play the leading role Yun Yunzai.
The TV series is scheduled to be broadcast on cable TV station tvN in late July, which is still nearly two months away.
He has already begun to prepare for the role, including cutting his hair, memorizing lines, working out, etc.
Chi Jingyuan is a standard type of person who does not gain weight. He usually likes to taste various delicacies and eat snacks in his free time. However, no matter how he eats, he never gains weight. This unique advantage allows him to avoid having to interact with other people. Idol-like various vegetarian diets.
He has also been exercising and has maintained a very good figure.
The most important thing in preparation is the learning of Busan dialect. Most of Peninsula's TV series are recorded on-site during filming, so the requirements for actors' lines are very high.
During this period of time, he has been making preparations and will immediately join the set for filming as soon as the crew calls.
While preparing, Chi Jingyuan also has to take care of the singing stage in the EXO-K team.
Even though Team K had a difficult debut, they still have to perform on the singing stage every week, and the singing time lasts for a very long time. The company has really done their best.
When EXO-K first debuted, Shinee was still singing.
Shinee finished playing songs and went to hold a concert. Girls' Generation's sub-unit TTS officially debuted and played songs, but they are still playing.
Now TTS is about to end its singing activities, and their EXO-K are still active in various singing programs.
It looks like this will continue.
However, singing shows are already one of their few exposure opportunities. Every time an award is given, all the artists will gather on the stage.
The host stood front and center, with an alternate standing on either side.
At this time, EXO-K would always stand in the last one or two rows of the crowd, completely submerged in the crowd.
The camera's lens was completely blocked by the people in front, and only occasionally when the camera swept over, he stood on tiptoes and took in a few pictures with a smile on his face.
Other senior groups also had a cold attitude towards them. When they first debuted, there were many members of the girl group who came to say hello, secretly pass small notes, and ask for their phone numbers, but now they are basically invisible.
If a boy band is not popular, they don’t even have the confidence to strike up a conversation.
Chi Jingyuan may have some exceptions, but only a little.
This feeling is really not a good one.
However, compared to those unknown groups who can't even get into singing shows and can only perform on the streets, they are already very lucky and can't ask for more.
There is news that MBC Music's "Show Champion" and SBS's "Inkigayo" will be suspended for a long time in the second half of the year, leaving them with two less singing stages.
I don’t know if this is good news or bad news.
The news of Chi Jingyuan's participation in the TV series was not concealed. Soon all the members of Team K knew about it, but the members didn't say anything. They had long seen that Chi Jingyuan was different in the company.
The members who can successfully debut cannot be said to be all good people, but they are certainly not too stupid. As for Lee Soo Man's treatment of calling people over to chat every three days, he is not an ordinary person in any way.
No one expressed dissatisfaction.
Of course, after getting along for such a long time, even if you feel unhappy, no one will say it on the surface. This kind of emotional intelligence is still there.
The others said nothing, but Do Kyung-soo expressed his envy in person. He stared at the script in Chi Kyung-yuan's hands with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he felt like he wanted to snatch it away.
Do Kyung-soo actually wants to be an actor, but with the current situation of the group, he can't ask for anything.
"Jingyuan Fighting strives to be a big hit on the air, and then all our members will visit the team, and we can also show our faces to increase our exposure."
Captain Jin Junmian quickly adjusted his mentality and encouraged.
It can be seen that as the captain, he is really anxious about the situation of Team K, but there is no good way.
"Arnie, Brother Junmian, it's just a small production, and it's the first time for the crew and PD to participate, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get this role." Chi Jingyuan waved his hand, indicating that the show had no future, and he just It just so happened that I was lucky.
"It's an opportunity anyway, fighting..." Jin Junmian patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder and sighed.
"By the way, we have to practice the cover stage of "Sorry, sorry" tonight, don't forget it." Jin Junmian reminded before leaving.
At the Dream Concert on May 30, EOX-K got the opportunity to perform. In addition to performing the unbeatable "MAMA", they also had a cover stage of more than one minute.
The performance was "Sorry, Sorry" by senior group SJ. They have practiced together several times and it was not difficult.
In this way, Chi Jingyuan's career as an actor was determined.
…………
In a nanny car that was driving, the manager of the girl group Apink, who was driving, spoke earnestly to the group member Jung Eun-ji who was sitting in the back seat:
"Endi, this opportunity is really good. You must seize it."
"Although it is PD Lee Myung Han's first time to produce a TV series, the variety shows they have produced before have been very successful, and they have a wide network of contacts in the industry, which can make up for their lack of experience."
"The supporting cast of this drama is also very strong. Although... it may not be a hit, but as you have no acting experience at all, it is definitely the best choice."
"The company has put in a lot of effort to help you get the opportunity to audition. Come on."
"Don't be nervous, just relax..."
While driving, Apink's manager kept talking endlessly like a great aunt, but she didn't interrupt before he could finish speaking.
"Oppa!"
Zheng Eunji, who had been forcing himself to concentrate and cramming in the script, couldn't help it anymore. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Do you know that the more you talk about it, the more nervous I get?"
Her Busan accent came out, and it was clear that she was really anxious.
"Arathor, Arathor~"
The agent nodded to indicate that he understood. He held the steering wheel with one hand and waved his right hand slightly to indicate that he would stay quiet.
But before he could calm down for half a minute, the manager couldn't help but speak again: "Endi, it's not that Oppa wants to be verbose, it's really..."
"ah……"
Zheng Eunji couldn't help but scream, and suddenly spread the script he was reading on his face, and fell down on the back of the back seat, looking like he was going to explode.
"..." The agent's mouth closed and opened again, but in the end no sound came out.
