After I went to talk to Li Meijing about MAMA last time, I also mentioned the filming schedule of the big production "Gwanghae, the Man Who Became King". The crew had already been assembled and were waiting for Xie Qianyu to meet, and today Noon is the crew meeting.
(Written by the author: Our "second female lead" Han Hyo Joo Xi is finally going to show her face. She has not appeared since she flashed her in Chapter 37. It's a sin, so I'll write a line to apologize.)
The standard of the meeting is not very high, which can be seen from the fact that it is set at noon.
But CJ is a big company after all, and it was a project that Li Meijing personally took over, so he still decided to locate the hotel in a very stylish Chinese restaurant in the city center.
Xie Qianyu finally parked the car. Looking at the antique decoration of the restaurant, he also had some thoughts: "Why don't I also have a "Korean banquet" to have fun? Otherwise, cooking for them every day will be very tiring... ..
The dinner venue was set on the second floor, and the entire floor was occupied. Half of the hall before going upstairs was a Western-style buffet, and half of the hall was scattered with bar stools and small round tables, which are common in bars, making it easier to get acquainted. People chatted with champagne; walking further in, there were only two large round wooden tables in the second half of the hall, which looked like traditional Chinese dinners.
"This Li Meijing is a wonderful person. This design is a bit interesting." Xie Qianyu thought as he observed the dress and walked into the banquet hall.
"Oh, Qianyu Xi!" After chatting with T-ara for a long time, when Xie Qianyu arrived, people were already here, and the person who greeted him was Han Xiaozhou, who was sipping a drink alone.
"Xiao Zhouxi, long time no see."
"I heard that you went to the hospital two days ago, are you okay?" Although the snake killing incident had already been settled by the post, Han Xiaozhou still couldn't help but express concern.
"Hey, I'm fine. Bao Lanxi injured her foot, but it's nothing serious."
Han Xiaozhou nodded: "As long as it's nothing serious, the news on the Internet that day was too scary."
"I still want to congratulate you. I heard that you have signed a new film contract? HB Entertainment's "Only You". So Ji Subxi is a good actor."
Xie Qianyu didn't even notice that there seemed to be a sour tone in his words.
"Hey!" Mentioning his smooth acting career, the smile on Han Xiaozhou's face obviously brightened a lot, "It's a low-budget romance film, but the script is very good."
I feel a little unhappy for no reason. If Xie Qianyu remembers correctly, this drama seems to have contributed to Han Hyo Joo's first sex scene, Su Ji Sub...
Seeing that the "little So Ji Sub" in front of him suddenly became silent and seemed unhappy, Han Xiaozhou was a little flustered:
"Gan Yuxi, you don't have to worry. This film will be shot very quickly, and I heard from President Lee Meijing on "Gwanghae" that there doesn't seem to be a rush to catch up with the schedule. I figured that the schedule would just fit in with me. Got it."
After hearing Han Xiaozhou's words, Xie Qianyu also realized that he had lost his composure. No matter how intimate the other party's scenes were, he seemed to have nothing to blame. After all, Han Hyo Joo and he also had intimate scenes in "Gwanghae", but they were just work.
"No, no, Han Hyo Joo Xi is the best actress I have seen since I came to Korea. I believe you will not affect the filming."
Seeing Xie Qianyu shaking his head hurriedly, Han Xiaozhou stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart felt a little empty.
"Oh, by the way, why are you standing here alone? You are the heroine."
Han Xiaozhou smiled slightly, as if he was smiling at a silly little brother next door: "The directors and I have met a long time ago. You didn't come to CJ Media last time, so I'll take you to meet the creators."
Xie Qianyu rubbed his hands in embarrassment. They had indeed invited him before, but he was busy playing songs and couldn't make it there, so he had to follow Han Xiaozhou to greet the production team one by one.
Director Qiu Changmin, the leader of the crew, is a Korean man with small eyes and fluffy hair that makes him look like an artist. However... Xie Qianyu doesn't know him, and they only met each other after being introduced by Han Xiaozhou.
Everyone split up to chat and soon gathered at the Chinese table in the back. Li Meijing would not come to the scene in person just because the filming of a movie started, so the meal passed without any meaning.
Those who came were also the key members of the crew. The two tables were seated loosely. Apart from holding up wine glasses from time to time to deal with a few people who came to toast, the only pleasure for Xie Qianyu was to look at Han Xiaozhou next to him.
"My skin is so good, how do I take care of it..."
Anyway, he didn't eat much, so he just spent the whole afternoon enjoying the beautiful scenery and delicious food. The two of them chatted a lot, and soon they were on their third tour.
"Qianyu, you seem to be good at drinking." I don't know when the two people began to address each other in plain language again.
"Oh? Don't you know how to drink?" Looking at the empty soju bottle in front of him, Xie Qianyu laughed to himself, "It's all just for socializing, there are only so many advantages left."
"Hmm... I know how to drink a little bit. After all, you know how to work in our industry, so you need to learn a little bit."
Shaking the goblet filled with orange juice in his hand, Han Xiaozhou also smiled, somewhat lamenting the difficulties in the entertainment industry.
"Xiaozhou, you don't mind if I call you that." Everyone gets drunk even if they are not drunk. Xie Qianyu, who looked as usual, pretended to be drunk and lost some of his baggage.
Han Xiaozhou nodded, not knowing what Xie Qianyu wanted to say.
"I...I don't want you to act in "Only You"." He frowned and tried to pretend to be drunk, but the firmness in his eyes betrayed Xie Qianyu's sobriety.
"You're drunk, I'll take you back." On the half of his face that Xie Qianyu couldn't see, the corners of Han Xiaozhou's lips curled up, adding a bit of relaxed brilliance to his face.
After greeting the director, Xie Qianyu and Han Xiaozhou left the scene one after another. When Han Xiaozhou walked to the parking lot, Xie Qianyu was already leaning on his sports car.
"If you don't drink and drive, please ask Miss Han to take me home." Throwing the car keys to Han Xiaozhou, who was walking over, Xie Qianyu detoured to the co-pilot on the other side.
In the end, Han Xiaozhou sent Xie Qianyu downstairs to CCM. They listened quietly to the music on the radio all the way. The two had similar tastes, but there was no awkward atmosphere.
There are some things that are tacitly understood and don’t need to be made explicit.
Just after Xie Qianyu walked into the building, Quan Baolan and Park Xiaomin, who had run outside to buy milk tea, happened to walk downstairs. Han Xiaozhou also walked from Xie Qianyu's car towards the gate, waiting for his agent to pick him up. The two parties were like this They passed by each other and their eyes met in the air for a moment.
After separating from Han Xiaozhou, Xie Qianyu still devoted himself to work, and the impact of alcohol on him was close to zero.
Since T-ara's album production was nearing completion, he chose to go to the production studio in person to finish their album.
The sad thing is that Xie Qianyu did not choose to go to T-ara's practice room first, otherwise he would find that the boss and the fifth had disappeared and came back just after he arrived at the production room.
"Sisters, sisters, good news! Good news!" Quan Baolan promoted with a sweet smile while sharing the milk tea with the sisters.
The members gathered around when they heard the eldest sister's voice. Anyone with a clear mind could tell that there was something sinister in Quan Baolan's unique voice.
"What's wrong, Ouni? Why do you talk like Gillian?" Xian Enjing, who had taken two sips of milk tea, gathered around.
Seeing that the members were all paying attention, Quan Baolan spoke unhurriedly: "Wuli, dear, president nim~"
Listening to Quan Baolan's long ending, Park Xiaomin seemed to feel something bad and quietly pulled the hem of her eldest sister's clothes.
"President Wuli Nim, just now, he asked a woman to drive him back! Guess who it is?"
"Hey, it's Han Xiaozhouxi who was on the set of "Tongyi" with Ganyu OPPA before. Didn't we watch that movie together?"
Afraid that what Quan Baolan said would make some Unnies or his "daughter" sister go berserk, Park Hyomin quickly explained.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the practice room changed instantly.
The second sister Li Juli's temperament has become extremely gloomy, and she is completely different from her usual stable and elegant output: the third sister Park So Yeon's face is cloudy and uncertain, her eyebrows are drooped and it is hard to tell what she is thinking; the fourth sister Ham Eun Jung is obviously The anxiety and tension were partly because the team atmosphere was not right, and partly because they thought of Xie Qianyu in the crew.
Only the youngest maknae, Park Ji-yeon, was still drinking her own milk tea, maintaining an indifferent and cute look on her face.
Seeing the instantly changing atmosphere in this frame, Park Hyomin regretted why she didn't have time to cover her eldest sister's mouth just now.
When Xie Qianyu finished what he was doing and planned to come to play with T-ara, no, but to supervise T-ara's practice, he found that the door of the practice room was locked from the inside.
Looking inside through the small window on the door, Pei Yunjing in the front (hey, I still wrote Teacher Pei here) is leading the dance, while T-ara is practicing seriously behind.
After they finished dancing, Xie Qianyu knocked on the door again. Everyone glanced at the window, but no one had any intention of opening the door. They just lined up to prepare for the next song.
Knocking on the door again, Xie Qianyu didn't know what happened yet, but his intuition told him that nothing good happened, so he had to look at Pei Yunjing for help, but the other party shrugged and expressed that he was helpless.
He went around to the back door and looked inside. Fortunately, Xie Qianyu wasn't stupid either. Looking at the milk tea cups still in the trash can and on the ground, he vaguely guessed something. I couldn't help but murmur in my heart: It can't be such a coincidence, could it really be seen?
Xie Qianyu, who felt guilty, could only wait outside obediently. Fortunately, the staff of CCM were quite sensible and quickly brought a chair for him, the "acting president", to sit on. After all, "the deputy leader is also the leader."
T-ara was also very successful today, and no one even came out to use the toilet. The stern Bae Yunjing also had to praise how effective their practice was today, to the extent that they could perform just by putting on stage makeup.
But dinner still had to be eaten, and rest time would come sooner or later. The few people who packed up their things one after another were ready to leave for the canteen.
"Hey! Are you done with practice, girls?" Xie Qianyu, who was leaning on a chair outside the door, was almost asleep. He was very tired from writing scripts for them day and night and contacting Li Wangyue about variety show filming. .
"Oh! Isn't this our president? Why are you sleeping here?" Quan Baolan, the youngest, rushed in front as usual. Li Juli was surprised to find that she was about to start a group, and when she opened her mouth, she was overtaken by this relative.
"Yes, how can President Nim sleep here? It shouldn't be in the president's room, oh no, should I sleep at home with a beautiful woman in my arms?" Even if she was robbed first, Li Juli, who is synonymous with being a sinister person, still Not to be outdone, he went crazy to hit the target.
Looking at Pu Suyan and others who nodded repeatedly, the strange atmosphere made Xie Qianyu know that he might not be good today: even if he disappeared for a whole day, they would not have this reaction. It was most likely that Han Xiaozhou was seen when he sent him back. .
That’s not right, I’m the president and room manager, right? This...isn't this right? If this tiger body does not tremble, my husband will not be able to stand up!
So he decisively...
He laughed and said, "Where can I find it? I'm waiting here to pick up everyone after hard practice and go have a nice meal. How dare you go home and sleep..."
"I want to eat the home-cooked food you cooked!" The sisters looked at Park Ji-yeon in surprise. It's okay. This silly girl is so witty at critical moments.
"I want to eat Japanese food!"
"I want to eat barbecue!"
"I want to eat Western food!"
"I want to eat seafood!"
"I want to eat hot pot!"
Wait, what is hot pot? The sisters glanced at Li Juli who was speaking last, which made the madam blush. She almost forgot that Xie Qianyu took her to search all over Seoul and found it. Koreans don't seem to eat it well... .
Not noticing Li Juli's little embarrassment, Xie Qianyu, who had black lines on his head, stormed off: "Today is my last treat before you release your album until the end of the song! I will start dieting tomorrow to manage my figure. If I want to eat meat, I will go downstairs in five minutes. The nanny van is gathering, no one will wait if you are late!”
Xie Qianyu, who has been familiar with military art since childhood, used the mutated move "Two Peach Kills Three Soldiers" to dismantle the seemingly monolithic T-ara into pieces.
Sisters, you push me and I pull you. One minute, they are all worried about not eating the food they have brought. The next second, they are rushing to the nanny car.
In the driver's seat of the nanny car, Xie Qianyu was looking at his watch: Well...three minutes, there is still room for improvement!
