5. Chapter 5
A few days later, Cheng Shangen packed his things and boarded a plane to South Korea.
The filming methods in Japan and South Korea are somewhat different from those in China. They shoot and broadcast at the same time and decide whether to change the plot based on the audience's reaction. And since "Between You and Me" is also a big IP that all TV stations are vying for, the TV stations that will broadcast it in Japan and South Korea have already reached an agreement, and the first episode was romantically scheduled to air on Christmas. All in all, time is still quite tight.
Cheng Shangen felt that the director might be a little crazy. Christmas is so popular in Japan and South Korea, who would stay at home watching TV? She expressed great concern about the ratings of the first episode.
After arriving in Korea, Jin Qiaodong first took her to the hotel where she was going to stay. After the two of them sorted out Cheng Shangen's things for a while, Jin Qiaodong reminded her, "Go and say hello to the director and the staff first, and get acquainted with the actor who plays the male lead and cultivate some feelings. You know, I've seen this play, and the emotions you show are the most important."
Cheng Shangen nodded and asked the question he was concerned about: "What does the actor look like? Hyun Bin or Won Bin?"
Jin Qiaodong smiled and pushed her: "What? He's a newcomer who looks good and is very tall. You're here to film, not to watch!"
After tidying up, Jin Qiaodong took Cheng Shangen to the director's room to get to know them. Cheng Shangen had only met the Japanese director that day, and she had not met the Korean director yet.
Cheng Shangen feels it is very confusing. Can the styles of the two main directors be integrated? It's a pity that such a good bestseller ends up being a work that is ridiculed by the public.
She said this out loud as she thought about it. Jin Qiaodong rolled his eyes at her. "What can you think of? The people they filmed can't think of it? These two directors are quite famous in their respective fields. They have discussed this issue. When the main plot is Korean, Korean directors will be the main choice."
After saying that, she sighed again: "I don't know if it's because of your Buddhist attitude in the past two years that you got such a big cake now."
In fact, although this is a joint production between Japan and South Korea, the pay for playing the heroine is not much different from Cheng Shangen's pay for playing the female n in China. But Jin Qiaodong's vision is not limited to this immediate benefit. If Cheng Shangen can really become popular in Japan and South Korea because of this drama, will it be difficult for her to become popular in China? When this matter spread to China, he was given the title of "bringing glory to the country".
When Cheng Shangen heard her say this, he suddenly stopped and looked at Jin Qiaodong seriously: "Sister Jin, look at my face."
Jin Qiaodong looked at her suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
Cheng Shangen remained calm: "What did you see?"
Jin Qiaodong thought she was upset and looked her face up and down. Every part of it looked like it was carved by gods with great effort. There should be nothing wrong with it, right?
Cheng Shangen looked at her confused expression and poked his face, then laughed: "Matsuda Yuye Honno, hehehe."
Jin Qiaodong was so angry when he saw her laughing that he wanted to throw her out.
When the two arrived at the door of the director's room, there was someone waiting there. He was a translator specially hired by Jin Qiaodong, who was bilingual in Japanese and Korean. Although Cheng Shangen learned Korean since childhood under the influence of her mother and learned Japanese out of interest, Jin Qiaodong could not do that. She never thought that one day the artists she managed would have such a close work connection with people from foreign countries.
The two greeted each other and then knocked on the door and entered the room.
There were not only two directors in the room at this time, but also two strangers sitting with their backs to the door.
Hearing the noise they all turned around and stood up and bowed: "Aniha Saiyo."
Cheng Shangen and Jin Qiaodong also bowed as they walked: "Aniha Saiyo."
The etiquette of both parties was quite good, the only thing was that Cheng Shangen couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard Jin Qiaodong's changed tone of "I'm so stupid".
Yamada Kenichi was the only person that both parties knew. He introduced them, "Teacher Jin, Sean, the person next to me is also the chief director Liu Guangxi, and this is the actor Li Junxun who plays Han Yunxi and his manager Wu Yu."
After he finished speaking, he introduced Cheng Shangen and the others to Li Junxun.
The two sides greeted each other again and sat down.
Liu Guangxi praised Cheng Shangen very directly and generously: "I was dissatisfied with you for deciding the heroine without discussing it with me before, but now it seems that you were right. If Shangen was missed, I am afraid that we will never find a heroine who is so suitable."
Yamada Kenichi smiled and said, "That's right. At that time, I didn't even think about discussing it with you. All I wanted to do was keep the person here."
Cheng Shangen smiled without losing his embarrassment.
Li Junxun always glanced at Cheng Shangen, and he joined the conversation: "Indeed, yeah."
Everyone in the room burst into laughter because of the male protagonist's slightly childish words, and the atmosphere was quite good.
The few of them chatted about some trivial things. Liu Guangxi waved his hand and said, "Sean and Junxun, you can exchange feelings and skills if you have nothing to do. The filming will start tomorrow. I am looking forward to your performance."
The two of them said "yes" respectfully, and then the actor and the agent came out first, leaving the two directors inside to chat.
After they went out, Wu Yu nudged Li Junxun with his arm and whispered, "Go!"
Cheng Shangen pretended not to hear it, and Li Junxun walked over awkwardly.
Cheng Shangen smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
Li Junxun's face suddenly turned red, and he stammered, "Ah, Aniha Saiyo, do you want to add us on SNS?"
Cheng Shangen raised his eyes slightly to look at him. This man was indeed quite tall.
Li Junxun was a little flustered by this look, and he explained: "This will make it more convenient for us to discuss the plot later."
Cheng Shangen held back her laughter and explained quite fluently. Jin Qiaodong had bought her a Korean mobile phone and registered Korean communication software, so she agreed without hesitation.
Jin Qiaodong listened to the translation and glanced at Li Junxun, and couldn't help but "tsk" in his heart. Why was he blushing when he was here to discuss the plot? Her gaze shifted to Wu Yu behind him. He was smiling at this moment, but it inexplicably made people feel uncomfortable.
After exchanging contact information, Cheng Shangen hurriedly pulled Jin Qiaodong away.
After returning to the hotel, she sent Jin Qiaodong away, saying that she was tired due to the long journey, even though he wanted to say a few more words to her.
After everything was arranged, Cheng Shangen quickly changed his clothes, looked around the door like a thief, and then slipped out of the hotel.
If she doesn't play in the ranking today, she will be overtaken. How can she stay in the hotel comfortably at this time? Of course we have to meet in Summoner’s Rift!
The first thing she did when she got here was to check the nearby Internet cafes.
So Cheng Shangen easily found a nearby internet cafe to go in.
It’s not easy if you think about it. We are all adults, but we still have to be sneaky when going to the Internet cafe to play games.
After using his passport to troublesomely turn on the computer, Cheng Shangen quickly opened the League of Legends.
Since it is still relatively difficult for her to log into the national server from the Korean server, fortunately she was prepared and was able to log into the national server smoothly to play ranked games.
Cheng Shangen played the game as a main support. She started the game and quickly got into the state. Then, a Chinese girl used illegal software to log into the national server in a Korean Internet cafe, cursing from time to time: "Fuck!!!"
Cheng Shangen was playing so seriously that he didn't notice that there were two people staring at him from behind.
"Yeah, saw that, this is how LeBlanc is played." A man with medium-length yellow hair said to the man next to him who was smiling awkwardly.
Cheng Shangen controls her hero to move, and attacks the enemy very quickly when encountering the enemy.
The yellow-haired man explained, "Yeah, that's it. See? That's how LeBlanc disgusts the opponent. Keep using Q on the opponent but make him unable to hit you."
Cheng Shangen was about to push down the enemy's tower, and her adc teammate's health was obviously almost gone. She moved forward to help the adc block the attack and eat up the opponent's health bar.
The blond man started shouting, "Ah! Ah! Did you see that?! That's it! When I was about to die, you should have rushed over to take the blow instead of turning around and running, Changmin."
Chen Changmin said that after being forced to watch this game, what he feared most was hearing Jin Xiche say, "Did you see that? That's it!"
After finishing a game, Cheng Shangen looked at the word "victory" on the screen and took a sip of water. His ranking should be secure now.
Jin Xiche was surprised: "Oh? Looks like he's Chinese."
He walked forward step by step, and Shen Changmin looked anxiously behind him: "Hey, brother, what are you going to do?"
Jin Xiche said without even turning his head: "Of course I'll invite her to play a game. What if I lose my rank again because you're such a bad player?"
Shen Changmin: ...I felt like I was stabbed in the knee.
Cheng Shangen was just thinking about whether to go back to the hotel or play another round when she felt someone pat her shoulder. She looked up in confusion and saw a handsome guy who was not as handsome as the common Korean guys smiling at her. She took off her headphones and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jin Xiche was surprised: "Oh? You can speak Korean. I just watched you play a game and I think your operation is very good. Can you help me play a game of ranked?"
Jin Xiche was still very confident. Although she was probably not Korean, she should know who he was as long as she stood on Korean soil, right? Although she is unexpectedly calm now, she definitely can't refuse to play games together.
Cheng Shangen frowned and thought without saying anything. She suddenly felt that it would be safer to go back to the hotel instead of playing games with a strange man here?
Shen Changmin, who was standing beside him, almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Jin Xiche didn't expect that she didn't agree readily and even felt like saying no!
Before she could refuse, Jin Xiche said, "Besides, since we are in the same boat, you should understand the pain of losing rank in the ranking. Please help me, just for one game."
After he said that, Cheng Shangen completely understood. She clenched her fists. Of course she knew the pain of losing rank in the ranking! It was an impulse to smash the computer and blow up the heads of teammates.
"Okay!" Cheng Shangen agreed.
Jin Xiche's face suddenly lit up with joy, and the sadness of not being recognized was immediately swept away: "Then I'll open a computer next to you. You don't have a Korean account, right? Use my friend's account."
Jin Xiche signaled Shen Changmin with his eyes.
Shen Changmin entered his account password with tears in his eyes. His account was pretty good. Although he had poor technical skills, he had a lot of money! He has all the skins for paying players!
Cheng Shangen is not involved in the Korean circle so he had no reaction when he saw Shen Changmin. He just thought he was a handsome guy.
She still doesn't know how many people envy her for doing something, using the game account of the strongest Chang Min to play with the superstar Kim Hee Cheol!
