Chapter 319 I Know
Before, Chi Jingyuan thought that he could go directly to Jordan by plane, but after reuniting with the film crew the next day, he realized that there is no direct flight from Seoul to Amman. Generally, the passengers who go back and forth have to be in Bangkok or Hong Kong Island. , Abu Dhabi and several other cities can only arrive after connecting flights.

The whole flight takes more than [-] hours, not counting the time required for the intermediate transfer, which adds up to [-] to [-] hours back and forth.

Sitting on the plane that just took off, Chi Jingyuan felt a little hairy just thinking about the journey. This kind of long flight was really torture for him.

"Would you like to sleep for a while now?" Park Jae-hyun, who was sitting at the side, saw Chi Jingyuan who was not in a good mood, and greeted him with concern.

"After a while, I won't be able to sleep after I fall asleep now." Chi Jingyuan shook his head lightly, holding a booklet and looking at it without raising his head: "Persist to Bangkok for a connecting flight and then sleep."

At this time, it was time for him to make up for college homework. Although he was a little dizzy, he could barely learn a little bit, at least it would bring his grades closer to the passing line.

While the crew of "Unborn" was rushing around on the plane, the discussions on the Peninsula Internet had already become hot enough.

Yesterday morning, the news that Chi Jingyuan would play the leading role of Zhang Klai in "Unborn" was announced, and after a day of fermentation, it has already attracted a lot of attention.

This is also Chi Jingyuan's first drama after the explosion of "The Heirs" in nearly a year and he is also the leading actor, so that both fans and ordinary passers-by viewers can express this No small expectation.

Especially for his fans, Chi Jingyuan has quite a number of fans who did not bring him through EXO or the song stage. Many of them fell in love with him because they watched the TV series he acted in, and then began to pay attention to EXO. And their songs, and the main focus of these people may still stay on the TV series.

Chi Jingyuan has become one of the most popular actors of the young generation on the peninsula after two consecutive TV dramas became popular, and his popularity in EXO, but his frequency of accepting dramas basically one drama a year really makes his fans They were very dissatisfied. They couldn't find anything to watch after wanting to chase his dramas. They could only revisit "Please Answer 1997" and "The Heirs" that they had watched countless times.

Lee Jong Suk, who was often compared with Ji Jingyuan by fans on the Internet, has already filmed two TV dramas in a row in the first half of this year, and he will definitely not be idle in the second half of the year. Can be regarded as a model worker.

Some fans think that SM company is really too wasteful, Chi Jingyuan’s popular scenes are so popular, but they don’t know how to give their idol more resources, and some more experienced fans think that Chi Jingyuan is a bit Too lazy to make more scenes.

"Ouba finally remembered that he is also an actor, the best news I received in the past month! Fighting!"

"Although I'm not interested in this type of TV series, as long as it's starring Yuan, I definitely won't say anything, and I will definitely stick to it!"

"I checked, "Wei Sheng" seems to be a workplace drama about Go, it sounds boring, how could Yuan accept this kind of TV series, his face, figure and temperament are very impressive. Stunning acting skills, in the category of idol dramas, it is simply a bomb, okay, as long as the script is not so bad, if he participates in it, he will definitely be popular, why do you have to act in this kind of workplace drama, I am a little disappointed..."

"I didn't read it carefully upstairs. 'Misheng' is indeed a Go term, but this drama tells the story of the white-collar workplace in a general trading company, not about Go, and the cast is quite strong, all of whom can act in movies. A very good actor, Chi Jingyuan's ability to play the leading role in this kind of drama is also a manifestation of his acting skills being recognized, and this kind of drama will be very exciting if it is shot well."

"I don't know if it's wonderful or not at the beginning of the filming. I only know that our Oppa's last film was the main drama of SBS. The male lead of "The Heirs" written by Kim Eun-sook, this time I can only take this cable TV station. I have never heard of any white-collar workplace drama that I have never heard of before. I heard it was adapted from a manga. I checked the original manga. It is not popular and no one watches it. OK? Yuan Ouba’s film and television resources are obviously downgraded, okay? SM It's really disgusting to give all the resources to Nalai De Beibei and the parrot girl group to suppress us EXO and Oppa, the pheasant girl group must die quickly."

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about Chi Jingyuan's acceptance in the forums and fan clubs. Many fans expressed that they are very happy and look forward to contributing to the ratings. However, some people feel a little disappointed and are not very optimistic. After all, from an idol Jumping from the drama to the workplace drama, the transformation from the chaebol II Jin Tan to Zhang Keli, a small white-collar worker in the workplace, is really a big leap.

Moreover, the gimmick of "Misheng" does not sound as good as last year's "The Heirs", which made many of his loyal fans worry about the decline of Chi Jingyuan's film and television resources. While blaming SM, he somehow got involved with red velvet. He scolded them a few more words in an ugly way.

Now fans of the SM family have formed a habit. Anyway, no matter what bad things happen to their idols, they can be referred to red velvet, as if they are just a trash can, and they can throw everything in it.

It is difficult to change this kind of atmosphere by relying solely on red velvet to increase publicity, go on stage or show up to increase exposure. The best way to change is to use excellent songs and real achievements in the next comeback to change the public's perception. This is the most direct and most effective method.

After all, they are not a combination that has had a bad record, but the wrong timing of their debut happened to hit the hot spot and became a vent for the anger of fans of several popular groups.

Chi Jingyuan also doesn't know what the company's plans are for their next comeback. I hope that the song selection, makeup and performance can be better, at least improve the current situation and stop being scolded so harshly.

After connecting planes and suffering a total flight time of more than 20 hours, the crew of "Unborn" finally landed at Queen Aria International Airport in Amman. Chi Jingyuan walked down the boarding ladder slowly, when his feet were on the ground The whole person shook his feet and his feet were soft. Looking at the empty airport runway around him, the real feeling of stepping on the ground gave him a feeling of rebirth.

This time, there were not many actors who came to Jordan for filming, and Chi Jingyuan was the only leading actor, and all the scenes were related to him.

The crew gathered together to count the number of people, and then walked quickly towards the outside of the airport. The staff who picked up the plane at the gate, that is, the crew who had come to prepare in advance, had been preparing for a long time. When they saw the lead producer and Afterwards, Jin Yuanxi hurried up to greet him, and after a short exchange, the group continued to walk outside under their leadership.

"...&*(..."

"EXO? EXO!"

Because there are a lot of people here, all of them look like East Asians and carry a lot of shooting tools. Such eye-catching pictures immediately attracted many people to stop and watch, and their noisy discussions seemed to be here in Amman. It is rare to see such a sight.

Jordan speaks Arabic here, which involves Chi Jingyuan's language blindness. He can't understand what these people are saying, but he is very sure that he heard a few voices shouting 'exo', and the change of tone It is also obvious that the first shout was doubt, but the second time it became excitement.

Chi Jingyuan followed the voice and found that the shouts were a few young boys with standard local appearance who looked about 20 years old. They were very excited after noticing Chi Jingyuan's gaze at him, and kept on waved his hands and shouted 'EXO! "Yuan!" '.

He hesitated for a moment, and quickly waved to the other party, then put his hands together in front of his chest and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

The exhaustion on the plane before seemed to be weakened a lot by the other party's shouts. Chi Jingyuan never expected that he would be in Jordan, a country where he was not very clear on the world map before, and EXO had never been active. I have my own fans, seeing their excited gestures is obviously very fond of XO for them.

Even though they didn't call out the group name correctly and pronounced the 'E' sound, and they didn't have a support banner in their hands. It is estimated that they have never bought XO's album, but Chi Jingyuan still has a spontaneous feeling of being flattered. , the whole person unknowingly has a lot of energy and the body becomes a little warm.

This is a very substantial experience in my heart, and it has nothing to do with the big sun in the sky or the high temperature.

After leaving the airport, they boarded the bus rented by the staff. After loading all the shooting equipment, the bus started and drove directly to the hotel that had been booked.

During the itinerary, Chi Jingyuan sat by the window of the bus and looked at the street view outside with great interest. This place seems to be closer to the central area of ​​Amman. The surrounding houses and buildings are completely different from the low and backward buildings he imagined, except for many three and four In addition to the exquisite small buildings with [-] floors, there are also many beautiful high-rise office buildings in the distance.

It's just that if you observe carefully, you can also find that there are many ancient buildings with obvious historical traces mixed in, but they don't look abrupt, but there is a kind of harmony that is different.

The round-trip six-lane road from the airport to the urban area is quite wide, and the traffic flow is also very dense. In just a few minutes, many cars roared by.

After driving for a while, we drove into the new urban area of ​​Amman. Like Chi Jingyuan, all the crew members on the bus were sitting next to the window and looking at the street scene outside with great interest. Most of them were coming to the Arab countries for the first time. .

Arabic signs like earthworms filled every place where people could see. The costumes of pedestrians on the street were colorful. The more striking ones were the pedestrians wearing black robes and red checkered cloth headscarves.According to a staff member at the front of the bus who has been introducing them to the local customs, these should be the local Bedouins of Amman, and this is the traditional attire of their tribe.

These people look as if they have been dressed for centuries from the passers-by in ordinary clothes and modern suits next to them.

The most interesting thing is that you can also see many people walking on the street with camels, and the scene of camels and cars walking on the road together makes Chi Jingyuan, a traveler from East Asia, feel very novel.

The backward and the advanced dance together, the tradition and the modern go hand in hand, and the two completely different styles appear to have their own unique charm.

This is Chi Jingyuan's first impression of Amman, Jordan, the city he set foot in for the first time.

It felt pretty good and novel, which made him feel that the flight of more than 20 hours was not wasted.

Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone and took a few photos of street scenery and selfies. After a while, the bus arrived in front of the hotel they had booked.

Everyone first went to the reserved room, put down the salute, washed and adjusted their faces, and then went to the rented conference room for a brief production meeting. The producer Li Zaiwen and the director Jin Yuanxi listened to come here in advance The staff who were preparing made a report on the work, and then Kim Won-seok explained the shooting plan in Jordan again in detail.

The shooting time in Jordan was quite tight, and there was no rest after the meeting. The crew went directly to the prepared shooting scene to start work.

This time, the filming location of "Unborn" was in the center of the old city of Jordan. It was only here that Chi Jingyuan felt the old and backward place he imagined.

Compared with the new city they passed by just now, the old city of Jordan couldn't see a single high-rise building at a glance, and the streets were crowded with people, cars, camels and dragons, but whether it was the streets, buildings, or even people's clothes, they all exude An old air.

The gap between the old city and the new city is like the gap between Gangbuk and Gangnam in Seoul.

The filming regulations and venues have been prepared by the early stage personnel. After the crew arrived, they immediately took over the work in an orderly manner, starting to delineate the shooting area and process, and installing various shooting equipment.

The reason why Chi Jingyuan is more optimistic about the drama "Unborn" is not only because the script is very good and it is a workplace drama that he has not challenged, but also because when he was communicating with Kim Won-seok , the other party told him that this show has received the greatest support from the TV station and the producer in terms of filming. The picture of this drama looks more textured.

Just one piece made the difference between "Weisheng" and ordinary TV dramas obvious.

It can only be said that even if the outside world is not optimistic about "Misheng" because the peninsula has no precedent for workplace dramas, tvN attaches great importance to this 8th anniversary drama and invested a lot of resources in order to succeed.

After arriving at the scene, the production crew officially began to operate. The director took people to install the facilities and inspect the venue, while the actors such as Chi Jingyuan were brought by Cody to a temporary dressing room rented nearby for styling.

Because it is a workplace drama, this drama does not need to do some exaggerated makeup. It only needs to put on some light makeup to cover up some defects on the actor's skin, so that the whole person looks more energetic and photogenic.

However, as the leading actor, Chi Jingyuan will also show some characteristics of the character in some other places besides these.

"Jing Yuanxi's skin is really good. If it is according to the director's request, there is actually no need to apply makeup."

Sitting in front of the mirror, Sister Cody supported Chi Jingyuan's head with both hands, and couldn't help admiring the face in the mirror that made her eyes shine.

"..." Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and smiled to express his gratitude because he was not very suitable for talking when he was doing modeling.

After Sister Cody simply wiped his face, she started to work on his hair.

"According to the director's request during the previous meeting, we have already designed the hairstyle of the leading actor Zhang Keli according to Jing Yuanxi's appearance characteristics."

While doing it, she explained to Chi Jingyuan: "Jing Yuanxi's facial features are relatively soft, in order to better show the character's character and situation, sometimes it is necessary to cooperate with the hairstyle, when you show a large forehead, the whole person will look Very spiritual, the advantages of facial features and face shape can be well displayed, and with the eyes, it is easy to create a strong professional elite feeling, which is very suitable for Zhang Keli's appearance after he grows up in the middle and late stages of TV dramas."

"However, Zhang Keli in the early stage was a novice who just entered the workplace. He suffered a lot of setbacks and was relatively weak and confused. In this way, it didn't fit your forehead. Therefore, in order to distinguish and show Zhang Keli's growth, in the early stage We will let Liu Haier cover your forehead completely, which is a bit like a student, so that to a certain extent, we can cover up the unevenness caused by Jing Yuanxi's overly dominant appearance, and at the same time show the character of the hero at the beginning feature."

Sister Cody is really professional. Not only is her skills in makeup and styling great, but she also explained it clearly to her without delay.

"..." Chi Jingyuan blinked, indicating that he understood.

Since his "wolf" days, SM's cody has always designed Chi Jingyuan to show his forehead, because this can best show the superiority of his face, unless there are special stage needs, he seldom stays in the past few years The very popular hairstyle with bangs especially long covering the forehead.

With Cody's sister's efforts, Chi Jingyuan's style was quickly completed, and he went to the dressing room next to him to change into a standard workplace attire of a black suit, white shirt and leather shoes.

Standing in front of the mirror again, Chi Jingyuan looked at the handsome, high-spirited and high-spirited professional young man on the mirror, with the corner of his mouth curled up in satisfaction, revealing something that made the cody and female staff next to him stare non-stop and even wanted to take out his mobile phone to take a picture. down smile.

This kind of more formal suit and uniform Chi Jingyuan has really rarely tried before, and it is a completely different style from the stage night shift during the idol period. The only thing in common is that they are all attractive.

It didn't take long for Jin Yuanxi to settle the matter. After he came back with someone, he pulled Chi Jingyuan who had been waiting for a while, and began to share today's scene with him.

The beginning of "Unborn" uses flashbacks, placing the plots and scenes of the last few episodes at the very beginning of the first episode, leaving a deep suspense and tempting the audience to follow along to uncover the mystery question.

This is also a very common technique in Korean dramas.

And the filming of the Jordan plot was this child's play. At this time, Chi Jingyuan was not playing the male protagonist who had just entered the workplace, but Zhang Klai, who had grown a lot through his own hard work.

This episode probably tells that a very important sample of the company was stolen by a man named Xu Jinshang and fled to Jordan, while Zhang Keli sought the help of his colleague Zhao Agent, came to Jordan to chase him, and finally Through accurate judgment and arduous pursuit, Xu Jinshang was caught, and this crisis was perfectly resolved.

"We will shoot the literary drama where Zhang Kelai and Agent Zhao meet the day after tomorrow. We have applied for street filming regulations today, so we will shoot the most important chase scene first." Jin Yuanxi pointed to the street ahead, holding While drawing the storyboard, he talked to Chi Jingyuan and several other actors.

"The first scene starts here. Jing Yuan walks from the intersection to the opposite side, looks around to find people, and then receives a call from Agent Zhao."

"Although Zhang Keli is actually quite nervous at this time, Jing Yuan, you can't show too much, you can only give a little nervous feeling, more of a confidence in your own judgment, understand? Find out first To get the feeling, we will officially start filming the first scene in 5 minutes."

Chi Jingyuan, who hadn't filmed for a year, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then nodded with confidence and a calm smile.

"I see."
