Chapter 334 Unborn
As a staff member in the third group of the planning department of a medium-sized foreign trade company, the 27-year-old Nan Dongjian packed up the things on his desk. After all the documents were neatly organized, he looked at the table below, and then looked at the already dim sky outside the window. I couldn't help but sighed, it was another day of habitual overtime work.

The pressure and competition among the employees of Peninsula Company is really great, especially the people in several positions at the lower level are very introverted with each other, staying up late and working overtime, and being reprimanded by the boss is the norm.

Nan Dongjian, who was not originally from a famous university, has almost completely obliterated his former vigor and naivety in the past few years of work, and he has devoted himself to the small social dye vat of the workplace in his words and deeds.

It was already past the off-duty time, and many people had already left before. When Nan Dongjian packed up his things and was about to leave, a burst of talking and laughing not far away attracted his attention.

Looking over there, I found that several female employees who had just joined the company were joking with several male employees there. I couldn't hear what was said from a long distance, but Nan Dongjian could probably guess some.

These few girls who have not been in the company for a long time have been promoting a TV series called "Misheng" among familiar employees a few days ago. Nan Dongjian once heard them talking about it. I am a fan of the actor Chi Jingyuan who played the leading role in this TV series. In order to support my idol, she actually worked so hard to promote him at the place where I work. She is really loyal to Ai Li.

In fact, some employees are quite disgusted with this kind of thing. After all, they have already passed the age of star chasing, and they are still so busy at work every day.However, these female employees looked youthful and beautiful after putting on makeup, which was not annoying. I heard that one of them was a relative of the department head and had a background.

And they just introduced Amway to colleagues in the same group they knew, and others could only smile and let it go after seeing it.

Nan Dongjian glanced over there a few times and shook his head, left the office and went to the parking lot, and drove his Hyundai back to his apartment in traffic jams on the road.

Thanks to the section chief who organized a drinking session the day before yesterday, I need to slow down for the next two days, or else I would probably have another two or three drinks today before I can come back to rest until I get unconscious.

He bought some miscellaneous sauce noodles to fill his stomach. After washing his clothes, he felt a little bored sitting on the sofa. He turned on the TV and checked several channels, but he didn’t see a favorite TV series. After reading the following list, Nan Dongjian thought Suddenly, he remembered the "Misheng" that Chi Jingyuan's fans in the company had been promoting for the past few days.

Of course he has heard of the name Chi Jingyuan. After all, the past two years have been really popular. Talking about EXO and Chi Jingyuan with little girls is a good common topic, even if they are not interested in boy groups at all. People like Dongjian sometimes go to find out specifically.

He is completely indifferent to EXO, but he has watched some of the two TV series made by Chi Jingyuan because they were too popular, but from his point of view, he feels that "The Heirs", a drama that has been popular all over Asia and has been hyped to the sky. It's very average, plots like chaebol Cinderella's love affair are not to his liking at all, and his impression of the most popular idol actor nowadays can only be said to be neither good nor bad.

Golden soil drama "Unborn"?Workplace drama?
After thinking about it for a while, today happened to be the first broadcast on Friday, and anyway, I was idle, so Nan Dongjian simply switched channels and watched it with a scrutiny.

Thanks to him being also a tvN subscriber for cable TV.

The Jintu drama starts at 10 o'clock every Friday and Saturday night. It was already 2:[-] when he sat here, and he didn't wait for [-] minutes to change the channel. After a burst of commercials, it entered the broadcast time.

After a burst of melodious BGM, an office scene and an overhead shot of busy traffic in Seoul, the word 'Wei Sheng' with special effects of rain appeared on the screen. "Unborn" has officially started broadcasting.

The melodious BGM is accompanied by the panning shot of the wilderness rock wall, and at the same time Chi Jingyuan's narration with a deep voice rang in his ears:

"The road is not made, but created for the purpose of going out."

"A road that cannot be walked out is not a road."

The picture of the ruined walls, coupled with the appropriate accompaniment and the quiet and magnetic narration, an indescribable sense of desolation emerges spontaneously at the beginning, but Nan Dongjian feels that this paragraph is superfluous, so he plays it mysteriously:
"Pretend."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Klai, played by Chi Jingyuan, appeared in the camera. The screen slowly moved from behind to in front of him, giving him a close-up full-body close-up. He was dressed in a straight suit with a superior figure and specially designed With the bare forehead makeup, the image of a confident professional elite is vivid on the paper. At the beginning, the male protagonist really shines when he first appears on the stage.

Even though he was a little uncomfortable, Nan Dongjian, who was examining his attitude, couldn't help but secretly sighed, "This kid is really good-looking. No wonder many of the staff who graduated from college are his fans." '

But soon, I also disdain this casting, thinking that it is the old-fashioned omnipotent handsome protagonist of the Peninsula idol drama, and it is said that it is a workplace drama, but it is just an idol drama with skins on.

In the reality he knows, such a good-looking person will definitely be envied by others in the workplace. If it is a girl, it may be an advantage, but it is not necessarily true for a man.

Unless it is related and background.

Although I complained a lot in my heart, the texture of the shots in this section made Nan Dongjian admire in his heart. He felt that the pictures and shots had the style and quality of movies.

At the beginning, these are the scenes that Chi Jingyuan and the others filmed in Jordan before. They put the plot of the last two episodes in the first episode to arouse suspense.

The entire opening scene is to show the spirit of the grown-up Zhang Kelai and his decisive and mature handling of things from all aspects.

Although he was watching with a critical eye, Nan Dongjian quickly integrated into the intense and intense street chase scene at the beginning. Watching Zhang Keli and Xu Xu on the streets of Jordan's Old City with a very distinctive style You chase after me, and the tense BGM really gives people the feeling of an action movie.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, Nan Dongjian was taken aback by the crashing car. Looking at Chi Jingyuan who staggered up after being knocked into the air, he was at a loss for words for a moment.

He was really shocked by this sudden crash.

Jordan's foreplay ended when Zhang Keli leaped out from the roof, and entered the feature film of the first episode. Many viewers in front of the TV watching it were a little unresponsive for a while.

After entering the feature film, the mature and reliable Zhang Keli, who was still high-spirited and reliable just now, was suddenly beaten back to his original form. The first scene at the beginning showed him working part-time in a bathhouse, earnestly brushing the glass.

After brushing the glass, he quickly put on his uniform and ran to work as a substitute driver. While panting and running fast on the street, he used his mobile phone to contact customers.

"Here, reward you."

Before sending the drunk customer to the door, he bent down and picked up the banknote that the other party threw on the ground as alms, and found that it was a face value of [-] won. He waved his hand casually and closed the door without looking at it, leaving only Zhang Keli, who was speaking silently outside the door, quietly looking at the money in his hand, with a silent and complicated expression on his face.

A few simple plots show the family background and task personality of the hero Zhang Kelai. Because of the very difficult family, he does various part-time jobs, such as cleaning, driving and other tasks. , very hard every day.

However, although Zhang Keli is a single-parent family, his family is very warm. His mother saw that her son was about to go to the well-known comprehensive trading company 'All International' for an internship due to some special reasons, but she didn't have a brand new and close-fitting suit. While cheering for him, he decided in his heart to buy a new suit for his son so that he could wear it with dignity.

As an intern, Zhang Keli came to the 'All International', and was assigned to the third business group. When he just joined the company, he sat there doing nothing, with a dazed face like a visiting guest, but he was quickly dismissed. Jin Daming, the agent of the third sales team, called up to the rooftop and began to get his bottom line.

"Your name is Zhang..." On the rooftop, Jin Daming knocked on the cigarette case and popped out a cigarette, but he didn't light it, and he didn't mean to smoke, so he put the cigarette case in, and looked at the other party with a smirk. asked without smiling.

"Zhang Keli, my name is Zhang Keli."

"how old are you?"

"26 is old."

"I see you haven't studied since you passed the college entrance examination?"

"Yes." Zhang Klai, played by Chi Jingyuan, had a smile on his face that froze just now, his eyes drifted away, and he responded softly.

"Did you drop out of high school? Or didn't want to go to school, or what happened?"

"I didn't go to school..."

"why?"

"..."

"Do you have work experience?"

"..."

"Can you speak English or other foreign languages?"

"Won't……"

A few very simple but straightforward questions revealed layers of Zhang Keli's self-esteem, making him not know how to answer, so he could only respond in silence.

With a few simple words, Jin Daming figured out Zhang Kelai's background, and immediately lost interest, greeted him casually, and left first.

On the other hand, Zhang Keli squatted down to pick up the cigarettes that had been thrown away without smoking and threw them into the trash can. self-reflection.

"What have I done in the past 26 years..."

Seeing this scene, Nan Dongjian, who had always had a somewhat condescending attitude before, suddenly had a wave of waves in his heart.

On the screen, Zhang Klai felt the shame, self-esteem, sadness, and sadness under Jin Daming's questioning. Although he was separated from the screen, he could clearly feel it from Chi Jingyuan's eyes.

It was just a few glances and expressions, and a low-pitched self-torture, but Nan Dongjian instantly realized Zhang Keli's complicated emotions at this time.

After being silent for a long while, he unknowingly lowered his cocked legs, straightened his waist a little, and continued to read more seriously.

Unknowingly, Nan Dongjian began to really devote himself to this TV series.

The competition among sales groups is fierce, and each sales group is short of people in order to increase performance and busy work, but the shortage is highly educated and capable employees who can play a role once they are strong.

Interns like Zhang Keli who are inexperienced, know nothing, and have a high school education are directly regarded as burdensome and related households, and no one looks at him seriously.

No wonder other people are like this. Everyone in the workplace needs to show their ability and value, but Zhang Kelai, who just broke in, is like a newly born ignorant child who doesn't understand anything, whether it is answering the phone, organizing He was completely ignorant of documents and even photocopied materials. Standing there with a dazed look on his face seemed out of place with the busy environment around him.

As if he was just a superfluous person.

At the same time, she transferred to the role of An Yingyi played by Jiang Sula. She is also an intern who has just joined the company and is currently in the second sales team. However, An Yingyi is proficient in business, fluent in foreign languages, and also has courage and ideas. The work is handled in an orderly manner, and a big case was settled not long after joining the company. He is an employee that all section chiefs want, and he is also the most eye-catching among the interns.

The stark contrast between Zhang Klai and An Yingyi further highlights the loss and frustration of the leading actor.

Because of a coincidence, An Yingyi helped Zhang Keli answer a call from a client, which gave Zhang Keli an idea. When he encountered any problems, he would lick his face and ask An Yingyi for help. Learn from her every move and how to deal with it.

No matter how unwilling or impatient the other party is.

Zhang Klai's inner narration seems to indicate his thoughts and psychological changes at this time:
"Whether it's face, dignity or self-esteem, I don't have time to take care of them. For me, those are insignificant now."

At this time, the news that he had no experience in high school education also spread. Many of the interns who graduated from prestigious universities at the same time were very dissatisfied.

Under the active leadership of some people, Zhang Keli would always be attacked by yin and yang and ostracized in the workplace, whether it was eating or taking the elevator.

Even though he was well aware of these things, Zhang Keli, who hadn't shown his own value, could only pull himself together and face it with a forced smile.

Only Zhang Baiji, who is also an intern, had no prejudice against him, and even took the initiative to defend him and defend him.

The first day of the internship ended like this. The male protagonist who returned home at night showed the audience his past experiences and family changes through memories.

He was a child who liked Go very much since he was a child, and was quite talented, very serious and hardworking. However, due to family changes, his father had an accident and needed money, so he had been doing various part-time jobs long ago. After graduating from high school Didn't even go to college.

At the same time, he was hesitant and distracted because of his part-time job, which made him unable to pass the Go entrance exam. After the deadline for his postgraduate study at the Peninsula Chess Academy, he gave up Go, which he had always loved and worked hard for.

The next day, because section chief Wu Shangzhi was late because of a traffic jam, Zhang Keli went down to use Go to retain the foreign client who was scheduled to meet at the request of Jin Daming, which was his first small contribution after joining the company.

It's just that such a trivial matter can't change other people's opinion of him. Wu Shangzhi, the section chief of the third sales team who just returned from an overseas business trip, said bluntly to Zhang Keli in the car: "Our team doesn't need promising rookies... After I go back, I may send you back... What is your selling point? Try to impress me with it."

"I worked very hard." After some nervous thinking, Zhang Kelai said what he thought was his greatest strength, which was also his only strength.

It's just that Wu Shangzhi felt a little ridiculous after hearing it and shook his head: "There is no one here who doesn't work hard."

After arriving at the company, Wu Shangzhi didn't have time to say anything. He just gave Zhang Keli a task of organizing and summarizing documents on the computer, and then received a call from Jin Daming, saying that there was a problem with the supply of a batch of squid goods. The goods should be pure squid, but now it is found that the supplier may have mixed them with frozen squid to make up for it.

This is not a small problem. Once this batch of squid is made into food, if squid is mixed in, the purity will be greatly affected.

Because there is an automated factory and there is a shortage of manpower, Wu Shangzhi decided to take people directly to the manual inspection after consideration, and went to the place where the goods were delivered to find out whether there was any adulterated squid in it.

And when Wu Shangzhi answered the phone, Zhang Klai's mother took the brand new black suit she bought with gritted teeth and sent him to the company, and handed the suit to her son in the lobby. Pointing to my own eyes when I was a little confused, I explained: "You will know when you become a parent, if you see your child is not dressed properly, the eyelids will be glued and you will not be able to do anything all day long. "

After leaving a moving quote, my mother waved her hand handsomely and left the company, leaving behind Zhang Keli who was speechless for a while looking at his back.

Putting on a new suit in the bathroom, Zhang Kelai, who had just returned to the third business group, was arrested by Wu Shangzhi, and all the new interns in the company were taken by him to the factory to check the squid.

Because there were not enough work clothes, Zhang Keli, who was not assigned, could only wear a new suit to go into battle. At the same time, the working environment was still very cold, and he could not take off his clothes.

Moreover, there are a total of 9 interns in the five refrigerated trucks, and they are divided into groups of two. When the group was divided, no one wanted to be with him under the obvious crowding out. In the end, only Zhang Keli was left alone, and he could only complete two Personal workload, one person inspects a carload of squid weighing 3.5 tons.

When people are unlucky, things don't go well. Zhang Keli splashed a lot of water when he checked the squid in the refrigerated truck, and his mobile phone fell into the big squid bucket.

Finally, when he finally found the adulterated squid, he found that Wu Shangzhi had already called to inform him that there was no need to look for the squid anymore and he could leave.And the person who came with him had already left back to the company in a special car.

Among them, the two interns who were sent to call him were the ones who hated him the most, and deliberately withdrew without notifying him.

In the end, it was the employees of the factory who found out that he was still working inside, and they yelled twice in great surprise before he knew about it.

The bewildered and bewildered face when he knew he was abandoned, the loss and anger accumulated in his heart for a long time were vividly displayed in Chi Jingyuan's expression.

When I saw the close-up of Chi Jingyuan's stiff face on TV, with the messy hair due to work, the suit and face splashed with a lot of dirty water, after seeing this scene, I don't know how many viewers, including early Nan Dongjian, who had already sunk into it, trembled in his heart, and for some reason a feeling of sympathy came to his heart.

Because the factory is far away from the urban area and it is difficult to take a taxi, Zhang Keli managed to get a car back to the urban area by himself, and came to the place where the interns celebrated and had dinner.

Those who came back early had finished eating and were chatting at the door.Ready to go home and rest.

Just as they were chatting and laughing, section chief Wu Shangzhi just happened to arrive at the door, and they saw Zhang Keli walking from the side together, in a mess and smelling like squid.

Ignoring the ridicule and eccentricity of these people, and not obeying Wu Shangzhi's suggestion to let him go back to rest first, after bowing to the section chief, Zhang Keli turned around alone, preparing to go back to the company to work overtime, and finish the work that Wu Shangzhi gave him in the afternoon. The task of summarizing files on a computer.

As he gradually moved away from the crowd with his back turned and gradually approached the camera, his inner monologue also sounded:

"Are you saying I'm too serious?"

"No, it's because I'm not serious enough that I have to go to society to hone my skills."

"I was abandoned because I wasn't serious enough."

In the end, Zhang Keli pursed his lips and his firm expression froze, the OST sounded, and the first episode of "Unborn" officially ended.

Staring blankly at the last scene, Nan Dongjian fell into silence for a while.

Obviously looking at it with a scrutiny eye, obviously indifferent to this idol actor named Chi Jingyuan, and even a little disgusted, obviously a little disappointed at the beginning, and all kinds of criticisms of the male lead and this drama.

But why did he just sit on the sofa for an hour and a half before he knew it, but didn't move and didn't even go to the toilet?
Why did he empathize with the role played by Zhang Klai, a rookie in the workplace, and an actor with such superior appearance.

Why is the pace of the first episode so slow, there is no emotional drama, the protagonist is not only a chaebol boy or a career elite, but has been frustrated and abused all the time, but the more he watches, the more he gets more involved, the more he watches, the more immersed he is.

Why was the string in his heart suddenly touched when he saw the close-up of Zhang Klai at the end, and he suddenly thought of himself inexplicably?

After thinking about it, Nan Dongjian found that apart from complaining that the male protagonist's appearance was too eye-catching at the beginning, he never had this feeling after officially entering the plot.

Even in the middle, he couldn't help cheering secretly several times because of Chi Jingyuan's shocking and memorable facial expressions.

"This show..."

Nan Dongjian was stunned for a few minutes watching the commercials that entered on TV after the first episode ended, picked up his mobile phone and clicked on the search website naver, and then typed two words.

not born.

…………

The first episode of "Misheng" is a 90-minute special broadcast, which is far longer than the 60-minute duration of ordinary Peninsula TV series.

But after watching it, many viewers still feel unsatisfied and unsatisfactory.

After the first episode was broadcast, there was a heated discussion on the Internet that night. After a night of fermentation, it had already caused a lot of influence the next day.

"It's really great. I just watched the promotion yesterday. I was bored and wanted to watch it casually. I finished it without knowing it. The filming is very good."

"After watching it, I don't want to comment on anything else. I just want to say that Chi Jingyuan deserves to be one of the best acting actors in the 20th generation. After watching the whole thing yesterday, he was too superior when playing Zhang Keli, a job rookie who has always been deflated. The appearance is not overwhelming, which makes people feel very natural. He seems to be the little employee. The close-up close-ups of his facial expressions in the end are really shocking, especially when he knows that he has been abandoned in Lengdongche I really blew that scene and the close-up at the end. PD Kim Won-seok is right, he is the best actor of the younger generation.

"Indeed, I rewatched "The Heirs" not long ago, and I didn't think it was a drama at all when I watched "Unborn" today. From Jin Tan to Zhang Klai, the gap between the two characters is unknown. The acting skills It’s really good, the cast is really good at casting.”

"After reading it, I feel that it is quite real, including the handling of various work matters in the three business groups, getting along with interns and various competition and exclusion. There are many similarities with what I experienced personally, and there is no close relationship. My ambiguity, this is the workplace drama I want to see."

Chi Jingyuan picked up a bun with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. While watching the enthusiastic reviews of "Weisheng" on the Internet, his mood suddenly improved a lot after he just woke up.

"What are you looking at so happily?"
