Chapter 9
Christmas is approaching, and Cheng Shangen is extremely busy every day. She now goes between the crew and home every day, and has never been anywhere else. This is mainly because as the filming progresses, she has become more and more deeply involved in the role of Matsuda Yuye. Now she is so busy trying to figure out and immerse herself in the role that she has no time to eat or drink.
Jin Qiaodong didn't know whether to be relieved or sad when she saw this scene. She was always serious about her work, but the only thing she was afraid of was that she would get too immersed in the role.
Although she had this phenomenon when she played some female roles before, fortunately the roles were not many and she was able to get over it quickly. I still remember that she once played the role of a villain. During that time, her eyes were vicious and her brows were full of hostility. Thinking about it now still makes people tremble.
A new actor joined the crew today. She plays the female bassist that Han Yunxi had a crush on before. Rumors about this had already leaked out, and Jin Qiaodong had already explained it to Cheng Shangen.
The one who joined the group is a new actor, a singer turned actor, and her name seems to be Lee Ji-eun? Cheng Shangen even searched for her photos. She is cute like a little kid, but her voice is unique and pleasant.
Cheng Shangen is quite looking forward to meeting her. The two of them have a lot of rival scenes. Just looking at the photos of Lee Ji-eun makes people feel very comfortable.
Jin Qiaodong's information turned out to be accurate. After filming two scenes in the morning, a thin, cute girl followed Liu Guangxi to say hello.
"Sean, this is the actress who will play Choi Ye-soo, IU," Liu Guangxi introduced.
Li Zhien smiled sweetly: "Aniha Saiyo, I am IU, my real name is Li Zhien."
Cheng Shangen also smiled and replied: "Aniha Saiyo, I am Cheng Shangen."
After Liu Guangxi introduced Li Zhien, he turned back to Cheng Shangen and asked, "We're going to film your scenes together soon. Do you want to get familiar with each other in advance?"
The director said this, and the two naturally would not refuse and nodded in agreement. Liu Guangxi smiled and said: "IU, don't underestimate this person. Although she is a newcomer, her acting skills are really great. It will be good to communicate more."
Lee Ji-eun respectfully said "ye" and sent Liu Guangxi away.
There were only two people left in the room, staring at each other awkwardly, and Lee Ji-eun smiled awkwardly.
Cheng Shangen couldn't help laughing when he heard her laugh. He originally thought that this girl was delicate and weak, and her singing voice was particularly beautiful, but he didn't expect that this laugh... was so weird, and a bit cute in contrast.
So the two people who met for the first time were very awkward and just smiled at each other foolishly for several minutes without saying a word.
"I've heard the songs sung by Ji Eun, they are very sweet and nice to listen to. I like Mi'er very much." Cheng Shangen broke the deadlock first.
"Oh?" Li Zhien exclaimed: "Thank you, that song is quite a long time ago."
Cheng Shangen smiled and said, "Yeah, it should be four or five years old. I heard it was Ji Eun's debut song. It's really nice."
Li Zhien also smiled: "Ouni is very beautiful~"
Cheng Shangen was a little confused. Why did he mention her beauty? Thinking about the two people's mutual compliments, I couldn't help but laugh: "Jie Eun xi, no, Jieun, I seem to be only a few months older than Jieun, can we not use honorifics?"
Li Zhien nodded: "Of course."
Both of them are slow to warm up, so they just stayed there awkwardly.
Fortunately, the filming started soon.
Cheng Shangen and Li Zhien have just acted opposite each other and are now living a relatively relaxed life. Cheng Shangen played the role of Yu Ye who was fearless when he met his love rival and whose emotions were written on his face very well. Li Zhien also acted out Choi Yi-soo's speechlessness and impatience.
Cheng Shangen discovered that in Korean acting, the actors’ dialogue skills were relatively good, and in the later stages they would usually dub their own voices. She was able to follow this, after all, her Korean was so good that she didn’t have any accent at all.
In the past few days, Cheng Shangen and Li Zhien have had a lot of rival scenes. The two people who were originally slow to warm up and awkward have become familiar with each other. After all, they are both young girls and can talk about similar topics and personalities.
Christmas is coming, which means the first episode will be broadcast soon. The crew has also moved to Japan for filming. Lee Ji-eun does not have any scenes in Japan, but because she has to record the Japanese theme song, she also has to fly to Japan.
Cheng Shangen was so happy when he heard the news that he quickly sent a message to Li Zhien.
[Cheng Shangen: kkk, you and I, spend Christmas Eve together, iu! ]
[Chocolate Monster: Don’t be so happy, unnie, I still have to work on Christmas Eve (╥_╥)]
[Cheng Shangen: ╥﹏╥It seems that it is indeed not something worth being happy about. Don’t worry, unnie will take you to eat delicious food. ]
[Chocolate Monster: Oni Crispy Bones! (*＾ワ＾*)]
After all, it still depends on the atmosphere. When the Christmas Eve atmosphere in Japan is so strong, Cheng Shangen will inevitably feel lost. But it will be different with Li Zhien. They can go out and play~
With the schedule set, the crew arrived the day before Christmas. Christmas is popular in Japan and South Korea, and the streets were filled with Christmas songs, pasted deer antlers, decorated Christmas trees and the like, creating an extremely strong festive atmosphere.
As soon as Cheng Shangen landed and turned on his phone, he received a message.
[Are you free tomorrow? ]
It was sent by G-Dragon. Cheng Shangen was still on the plane at that time and didn't receive it. After a long time, he seemed to feel that it was a bit abrupt and sent again:
[Ah, because you helped me that night, so if you are free tomorrow, I would like to treat you to a meal. ]
Cheng Shangen found the message funny. Why did this man use so many interjections? She typed on the keyboard and replied:
[It's nothing, no thanks. I'm in Japan right now and can't keep your appointment. Sorry. ]
After replying to Cheng Shangen, he put his phone in his pocket without much care and prepared to pack up.
G-Dragon on the other end was waiting anxiously. When he heard the phone moving, he immediately took it to look at it. After reading the rejection reply, his eyes dimmed and then he threw the phone aside indifferently.
Yes, it doesn’t matter. I just wanted to treat her to a meal to thank her.
Ah, he just didn't understand why a person who was still in Korea just two days ago went to Japan again? ! ! ah! Why did he rush back from Japan yesterday! ! !
Quan Zhilong exhaled and picked up his phone again and replied to a message asking "Want to come over and play?"
[Well, it should be here in the evening. ]
Here, Cheng Shangen and Li Zhien are rehearsing the lyrics. Cheng Shangen is not a professional singer, so some of the tunes are not very accurate, but fortunately, Li Zhien is there to teach him.
"Oh, your voice is very nice, but the sound needs to be more accurate.
Just click. "Li Zhien led Cheng Shangen to sing it again.
Cheng Shangen couldn't help laughing: "Ah, Zhien, is this encouraging teaching? It makes me feel pretty good."
Lee Ji-eun also laughed: "Ouni said the same thing, saying my pronunciation is not bad."
Indeed, Cheng Shangen and Li Zhien help each other when they are together. You teach me pronunciation, and I teach you to sing in tune.
Before we had practiced for a while, someone knocked on the door.
After Cheng Shangen opened the door, there was a person carrying a camera. This was mentioned earlier that they would record their recording process and show it to fans later and might also make it into an MV, so Cheng Shangen was not surprised and greeted the camera in bilingual languages with a smile.
When someone carries a camera in, he usually has to control what he wants to say by himself. Cheng Shangen has no experience. Although Li Zhien is a little shy, she still leads Cheng Shangen in talking.
"Ouni, do you want to act cute in front of the camera and ask the audience to pay more attention to our new song?" Lee Ji-eun asked.
Cheng Shangen was a little confused: "Acting like a spoiled child?"
She was a little confused but after thinking about it, she realized that this should be a routine operation. It was probably something that Japanese and Koreans liked. But she was a native Chinese girl contestant, and she acted like a spoiled child...
Seeing that Cheng Shangen was a little confused, Lee Ji-eun was also a little confused. Can't unnie pick up on this joke? Her Korean accent was so soft and cute and she thought this kind of thing would be easy to do, so seeing this, she tried to change the subject.
Cheng Shangen turned his head and smiled at the camera: "Please pay more attention to me and Jieun, ah, IU's theme song, bye~"
The cameraman couldn't help but grin at this sudden beauty attack.
Li Zhien couldn't help laughing: "Ani, why is the cameraman laughing so happily? This must be a very failed act of pampering."
Cheng Shangen couldn't help laughing when she heard what Li Zhien said. After the first time, the second time would be much easier. She turned around and looked at the photographer with an innocent face and said softly, "Very unsuccessful?"
She is beautiful, with charming watery eyes. The sound of "Nezha~" made the cameraman smile involuntarily and shake his head, and the camera also shook its head.
Lee Ji-eun almost burst out laughing when looking at the camera: "Wow, this is really great. If there is another cameraman now, I would like to take a picture of this brother. His face is super red and his mouth is grinning from ear to ear."
Cheng Shangen finally couldn't stand it anymore and sat aside, silently getting goosebumps.
The two chatted for a while and then the camera went off, giving them some time to rest.
As soon as midnight passed, Cheng Shangen rummaged through the suitcase and took out a box and handed it to Li Zhien: "Gift."
Li Zhien took it with an "Oh" and asked, "Can you open it now?"
Cheng Shangen raised an eyebrow: "Yes."
Li Zhien shook her head: "Ani, Ani, I'd better go back and open it myself. Hahaha, why am I a little excited? Ouni, you should have practiced this enough. I'll go back and rest haha~"
Cheng Shangen held back his smile and agreed, he obviously just wanted to go back and open the gifts!
After returning to the room, Lee Ji-eun excitedly opened the gift, but her face fell after she found out it was chocolate! ah! Cheng Shangen! The note I gave her was "Chocolate Monster" and the gift I gave her was also chocolate! ! !
Lee Ji-eun continued to unwrap it angrily, and then put a piece into her mouth. Hmm, it’s really delicious. After all, she still wants chocolate!
Phuket, Thailand
G-Dragon landed very late. He went alone on his personal trip and didn't bring much with him. He looked a little tired and smiled slightly when he saw his friend behind him. But his smile froze when he glanced at the woman standing next to him.
The woman with neat short hair smiled brightly: "Long time no see, Oppa."
