Chapter 106: Hope for the Seniors' Success
voice. At this time, Ji Jingyuan's phone vibrated, opened it and flipped through it, several congratulatory messages came one after another.“kkkkk I watched your stage, how to say kkkk, it's quite str..."You..."
Jessica Jung was speechless.
Given her temper, if she weren't on set and there were no one around, she definitely would have just hopped in. And actually, she was rather keen to do so...
It's a pity...
"Jingyuan, there's another support car here today. It happens to be break time now, why not take a certification photo"
At this time, Park Jae-hyun, who had just gone to get a hamburger, walked over from the side and handed one to Ji Kyung-won while giving him a word of advice.
"Okay, bro. I'm going now."
Ji Jingyuan took his phone back, gave Zheng Xiuzhen a little smirk as she kept looking at him, and put on his jacket before walking out of the film set.
And Park in-hwan nodded toward Jung So-jeong and her assistant, trailing behind Ji-seung.
"Humph..."
Jeong Seo-jung watched Ji Byung-ryeon's back and bit her lip, letting out a soft hum.
She's been really proactive lately, always hanging around Ji Jingyuan during breaks. Even the observant people on set have noticed it.
Recently on set, the way they interacted was almost like a real couple. Besides some particularly intimate actions, they did everything else a couple would do – bickering and teasing constantly, with no boundaries of normal friendship anymore. They were already used to physical contact.
Just the fact that Ji Jingyuan's girlfriend was like a thorn constantly lodged in Zheng Xiujing's heart, even though she went all out and still didn't get a direct response from Ji Jingyuan, kept their relationship in this ambiguous state.
Jeong Seo-gyeong was somewhat dissatisfied with the current situation, but she didn't have many options. After spending so long together, she had a pretty good understanding of Ji Kyeong-won's personality. He wasn't someone who could be dealt with by throwing a tantrum or confessing his feelings to force him to act. Unless their feelings naturally developed, doing so would likely backfire.
She was also very curious about who Ji Jingyuan's idol girlfriend was. She had discreetly inquired in the circle for a long time but got no news, instead getting herself into a fit of anger.
Because she confirmed that Park Ji-won is really popular with female idols in the industry, he was already quite sought after last year. Today, after EXO became a huge hit, he has become a hot topic of discussion among many female idols. When she mentioned inquiring about him, many people even asked her for Park Ji-won's contact information, hoping that Jung Soo-jung would introduce them. Their covetous gaze was completely undisguised.
Jung Soo-jeong didn't dare to ask her sister again. Jung Soo-yeon wasn't stupid either; she had already sensed something unusual in the previous phone call. If Jung Soo-jeong went to ask again, it would surely be obvious. With Jung Soo-yeon's temper, there was a high probability that she would ruin things for her.
“…………”
Looking at the slowly receding figure of Ji Chang Wook, Jung So Min, who had just been wearing a displeased expression, slowly and gently smiled.
Although they weren't officially dating, she really enjoyed spending time with him on set. Being able to be around someone she liked every day, chat, tease each other, eat meals together, and even just sit in comfortable silence was something that became addictive and intoxicating for her.
It's only been a month since "The Heirs" started airing, and the shooting progress is only about half done...
…………
Who sent it today
As he walked outside, Ji Jingyuan took a sip of his drink and asked Park Jae-hyun.
"The Heirs" is one of SBS's major dramas in the second half of the year. It has been heavily promoted and, as it's a new drama by Kim Eun-sook, it has already attracted a lot of attention before its release.
And the several main actors of the crew were not newcomers who had just debuted. Each person has their own circle of contacts. After flying back from LA and officially establishing the crew in Seoul, the support vehicles sent to the crew have basically been non-stop.
Like Park Shin Hye, a social butterfly like her, just the support vehicles sent to her by other artists in the industry could feed the entire drama crew for half a month. There was always free coffee available every day.
Some actors earn more or have good relationships with Park Shin Hye, and they even send very expensive Korean beef support vehicles, which really let the crew enjoy a feast.
Although Ji Jingyuan doesn't have a wide network of contacts, he has quite a few close friends and acquaintances. Over the past month alone, he has received support from Apk, as well as cheering trucks from both EXO and SHee as teams.
Because Ji-seong is a main actor, EXO has sent gifts more than once.
I don't know where the members who are clearly not making much money now got the money from. Ji Jingyuan didn't ask, he estimated that it was pooled together by other members, and Jin Junmian and several other members with better family conditions should have contributed the most.
Although it wasn't a big gift, he felt the thought behind it.
Besides that, there are also a few unnies from Girls' Generation. They are truly generous. Besides getting together as Girls' Generation to send him one gift, the nine members separately sent Park Jung-won several support trucks under their own names.
Besides Xiuying, who I'm not very familiar with, Yuri has given me everything else. When my debut stream was a failure, they even called to comfort me. Their tone wasn't particularly warm, but they knew how much to say and didn't talk for long before hanging up. Still, the message got across.
Even if knowing the other party's intentions isn't entirely pure, this approach still feels comfortable. After all these years, the unnies from Girls' Generation really know what they're doing.
Apart from the artists, EXO's fans are the real MVPs when it comes to support. Ever since Ji-gyeong entered the group, ever since the filming location was exposed, there has always been a group of fans waiting outside the set. Some hold banners, some have Yuan's magazine covers, and others just sit quietly hoping to catch a glimpse of their idol.
Moreover, through fan crowdfunding and several wealthy fans' contributions, a hamburger truck and a coffee truck were directly rented to park outside the set every month. The sides of the trucks displayed advertisements for EXO and Yuan. As long as they were members of the production crew, everything was free and available for them to eat at will, continuing until the end of the television drama's filming.
Fans' unconditional support has genuinely touched Chi Jingyuan, and it is also one of the main driving forces for his current idol career.
"It was given to me by Taeyeon from Girls' Generation. When you finish taking the certification photos, remember to send them to the company and post them on SNS." Park Jaehyun replied.
"Seohyun Um… I know, I'll send her a message later to thank her."
Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment before quickly nodding his head.
Seo Hyun is arguably the one he interacted with the least during their time in Girls' Generation. After getting to know her, she wasn't as stiff and uptight on camera, not someone who would die over a hamburger like her persona portrayed. However, she was indeed somewhat quiet, just standing there smiling at the side after exchanging greetings.
Standing in front of the cheering car, after Park Bo Gum took a certified photo, Ji Chang Wook and the fans who had been squatting there waved hello. After signing a few autographs, he walked back into the set amidst their satisfied but reluctant eyes.
"Oh, by the way, Yoona from Girls' Generation has recently joined the cast of a new television drama. Jingyuan, should we send a support truck with your name on it"
Park Jae-hyun recalled and reminded.
Of course, I'll send it. Brother, you wait a moment and research, find a car of slightly higher class, sent in my name. When her TV series is released, we'll send another one.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at him and replied matter-of-factly.
He has a good impression of Yoona, not because of her looks, but because she is truly exceptional in terms of emotional intelligence.
From the moment they met when Pool Jingyuan just debuted last year, no matter his popularity or how popular their group was, she would always proactively greet him on festivals, important events, and even his birthday. YoonA's proper greetings and support have never been missed. It really makes it hard to feel any ill will towards her.
For some reason, Ji Jingyuan felt like this had become part of her daily routine.
"Alright, I'll take care of it right away."
Park Jae-hyun nodded, indicating he would remember.
"By the way, what drama is Yoona unnie starring in this time"
Halfway there, Chi Jingyuan curiously asked a question.
It is a KBS Monday-Tuesday drama, co-starring Lee Bo Young. The title is "Songli and Me".
Chi Jingyuan chewed on the name of the play for a moment, smacking his lips.
"This name... I hope the seniors will watch with bated breath and everything goes smoothly."
