"Senior, I am Chi Jingyuan from EXO."
Chi Jingyuan looked at her, his eyes curved into a crescent moon.
"Ani, there's no need to call me senior. We are a couple who play opposite each other throughout the whole drama. Such an unfamiliar title is not conducive to getting into the role... Normally, just call me Nuna. If you want to bring in the character's identity, just call me Nuna." Shin Hye is okay too.”
"By the way, Jingyuan Xi, please remember to sign your name for me later. I have been your XO's fan since last month."
Park Shin Hye smiled kindly and enthusiastically, and spoke to Chi Jingyuan in a very familiar tone. In just a few words, the relationship between the two people who had just met for the first time became much closer.
"Nai, Shine Noona, this is our honor. I will brag to the members when I return to the dormitory."
Chi Jingyuan blinked, not feeling any discomfort at the other person's enthusiasm. Instead, he looked into the other person's eyes and smiled naturally in response.
Park Shin Hye wore a simple casual outfit, with her hair tied into a ponytail hanging behind her head. The facial features are not amazing at first glance, it just gives people a very comfortable feeling, but after looking at it for a long time, you will find that it is quite tasteful.
She showed very good communication skills as soon as they met, and her enthusiastic posture and smile even Chi Jingyuan had to admit were quite attractive.
But they are all artists who have been in the entertainment industry for many years, so of course they will not look that simple.
According to Park Jae-hyun's information, Park Shin-hye debuted very early. Her boss was a senior in the music industry. She was very popular for a while and was very well-connected, the singer Lee Seung-hwan, who has the same name as EXO's manager.
Park Shin Hye actually did not go well in the first few years after her debut, because it was rumored on the Internet that she intervened in the marriage of Lee Seung Hwan and Chae Yeon, causing the other party to divorce. Many people criticized her for her low moral character, which gave her a bad reputation in the eyes of some people.
However, these rumors and some rumors have never been confirmed, and Park Shin Hye has also denied it many times.
She started to rely on the 2009 TV series "You Are Beautiful" to slowly turn around her reputation. After several years of development and hard work, she has become one of the most outstanding actresses of the younger generation. Now she is basically No one mentioned the rumors anymore.
Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to care whether those rumors were true or false. After his personal contact, Park Shin Hye gave him a pretty good impression, both in terms of appearance and personality.
After that, he said hello to several other people. Jin Yubin had already met at the M!C backstage before and exchanged contact information. After meeting this time, the two smiled at each other and the other raised an eyebrow.
Kim Ji-won, who plays the second female lead, has a lot of scenes opposite Ji Kyung-won in the script. She does not seem to be as sociable as Park Shin-hye, and she nodded politely to Ji Kyung-won.
Speaking of Kim Ji-won, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but think of Cui Shirley. Both of them starred in "To the Beautiful You" last year. Because of the huge ratings of this drama, Cui Shirley, who is the female lead, has not slowed down to this day. When I came here, I didn’t receive any new dramas.
Kim Ji-won's management company is probably pretty strong. It seems that she has recovered a lot from the failure of that drama, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get the second female lead in "The Heirs".
Park Hyung Sik and Kang Min Hyuk are both from idol groups, and they have met each other several times in the backstage of singing shows. However, their groups are all competitive, and they are not very familiar with each other. They just maintain a superficially harmonious cooperative relationship.
Finally, we arrived at Jung Soo-jing, who was a few seats away.
Chi Jingyuan noticed that Zheng Xiujing had been looking at him from time to time since he entered the door. When he saw him looking over, he didn't say much and nodded with a smile.
In fact, Jung Soo Jung is in a very complicated mood right now. She is also from an idol group in SM. She was reminded by her manager that she was one of the first people to come to this meeting. She has been waiting since she arrived. She would greet the senior artists who arrived very respectfully, with a very standard salute.
Although she got a lot of smiles, Jung Soo-jung was quite sensitive. She could sense that some people didn't take her seriously, and some seniors even smiled perfunctorily, and their salutes to her were casual. wave.
Although "The Heirs" is her first major drama, it is not the first time she has acted in a TV series. She has encountered this kind of cold reception many times, which means she was down for a while and didn't care too much.
But when Chi Jingyuan came later, she saw the reactions and gifts of other artists present, which seemed ironic in comparison.
However, only she knew her thoughts, and no one paid attention to it. Not long after Chi Jingyuan arrived, everyone arrived, and then all the crew and creative staff, including the director and screenwriter, arrived and began to host the meeting.
This kind of crew meeting is very similar, and this is not the first time Chi Jingyuan has participated in this kind of meeting. Basically, the main creative staff say some words of encouragement, and then the artists get to know each other. The purpose is to get the actors to work together in advance. relationship, you can quickly enter the status after the official boot.
What's interesting is that while talking, Kim Eun-sook named Ji Kyung-won several times and spoke to him in a very cordial manner. Anyone can see at a glance her unabashed admiration for the male protagonist.
This optimism made some people couldn't help but murmur, some were dissatisfied with Ji Kyung-won's final replacement and squeezed out Lee Min-ho to join the crew, as well as their contempt for his qualifications and seniority. With Kim Eun-sook's obvious support, some People can't help but put away some small thoughts.
After the meeting, there was a script workshop. All the cast members studied the script together and became familiar with the characters. When communicating with each other, they all called each other by their names in the play to increase the sense of immersion.
After saying goodbye to the members, as well as several friends and family, Chi Jingyuan went to the airport with the crew on August 22 to prepare to take a charter flight to Los Angeles. .
Not all the actors will fly to LA this time. Only the characters who appeared in LA in the previous episodes will go together. The other actors will stay in Seoul and join the set after the location filming is completed.
However, at the request of the crew, several young actors with idol backgrounds will go with them even if they don't have any LA scenes, because the crew still has some doubts about their professional abilities and they need to experience the crew's environment in advance and integrate as soon as possible. I hope the shooting will go more smoothly then.
The actors, their respective agents and assistants, as well as the main creators and staff of the crew, along with large and small bags of filming equipment and daily necessities, were a large group of people in total, and they looked quite impressive when walking together.
It was probably the artist's management company and SBS who released the news themselves. When they arrived at the airport, media and fans were already waiting there for a long time. As soon as the crew got off the train at the airport, the flashbulbs started to light up non-stop, cheering and screaming. It also came.
They are all fans of various artists. At a glance, only the fans belonging to EXO and Yuan are the most conspicuous. They formed a dense square array, and the front row held a specially made banner that read their support for Chi Jingyuan's new drama. Support and blessings, and at the same time, there were many people holding his pictorials and watching him keep screaming.
Seeing this scene, Chi Jingyuan stopped, smiled and waved to the fans to thank him. After a while, he walked into the airport under the shouts of the crew.
Not long after, the plane took off from Incheon International Airport, passing through the clouds and heading towards Los Angeles.
