Chapter 40
When they arrived at the set, they greeted the director and writer as usual, and then Kim Eun-hee took Cheng Shangen to meet Min Xiaolin, who played the female lead.
Min Xiaolin was in the dressing room, letting the makeup artist apply makeup on her. On the table in front of her were bottles and jars of cosmetics, and next to them were transparent storage boxes, which were filled with... fruits.
"Anihasayo." Cheng Shangen bowed and greeted her obediently. South Korea cares a lot about seniority, and Min Xiaolin is considered her senior.
"Xiaolin, this is the actor you'll be acting opposite today, Cheng Shangen," Jin Eun-hee introduced.
Min Xiaolin also stood up and came over to shake hands with Cheng Shangen with a smile: "Hello~ Wow~ It's really totally yeah."
Cheng Shangen pursed his lips and smiled, accepting her compliment generously: "Kang Sangmi."
"Would you like to eat some fruit or something?" Min Xiaolin asked her without waiting for her answer and took the box over: "There are cherry tomatoes, grapes, pears and apples, do you want some?"
Cheng Shangen didn't hesitate. He picked up a cherry tomato, put it in his mouth and thanked him.
Min Xiaolin made her feel very comfortable, like a warm older sister.
Min Xiaolin couldn't help but smile as she watched her eat: "Oh, I have a lot here, I'll ask my assistant to bring some to you later."
Jin Enxi couldn't help laughing when she saw the two people getting along so well. It was good this way, as today's drama was about the two people confronting each other.
Not long after Min Xiaolin returned to her lounge, her assistant brought her two boxes of fruit.
Jiang Junying couldn't help but sigh while holding the box: "Wow~ She is so beautiful and gentle."
Lou Zilin also praised: "Really? Some seniors are very arrogant. When juniors come to say hello, their noses are raised to the sky. This sister is so gentle."
Jiang Junying bumped into her and signaled her to stop talking nonsense, but Lou Zilin was very outspoken.
Lou Zilin pouted and quickly gave the fruit to Cheng Shangen who was putting on makeup: "Ouni, Senior Min Xiaolin sent it here."
Cheng Shangen nodded. Min Xiaolin did surprise her. She was a complete newcomer when she was filming "Between You and Me". Although she was the lead actress, some of her seniors' attitudes were not good. She could feel that Min Xiaolin was really cheerful and gentle.
Cheng Shangen ate the fruit without hesitation, and while eating, she was thinking about what she should send back.
The drama being filmed this time is a very traditional Korean drama, completely in the Korean drama mode. The characters are dressed beautifully in clothes that suit the season, and it can be filmed and broadcasted at the same time without causing any sense of disobedience to the audience.
Cheng Shangen had already changed her clothes and put on her makeup. The moment she turned her head, Jiang Junying and Lou Zilin couldn't help but let out a "Woo~" sound.
Cheng Shangen raised his eyebrows at them with a cold and cool expression, then couldn't help laughing.
Alas, there are always some people who are like ice beauties when they don’t smile, but like blooming flowers in March when they smile. Lou Zilin couldn’t help but sigh, beautiful is beautiful.
This time's look is very different from Yu Ye's last one. Cheng Shangen's first appearance today was overwhelming. She wore heavy makeup to make her bright features look a little aggressive. She wore a black suit with a pink and purple shirt underneath, and a hip-hugging short skirt. The stylist put a shiny silver bag on her.
Hand it to her and let her finish the look.
This outfit can be said to be full of aura.
Lou Zilin chuckled: "Ouni, you are not a female secretary, you are a female boss."
Jiang Junying also agreed: "That's right, it feels like you are going to buy a company."
The stylists, makeup artists and other staff in the lounge were all laughing so hard that they couldn't stop, and Cheng Shangen also burst into laughter.
Cheng Shangen's first scene was just a show of her face as she walked from the public office to her own private office. The noisy office instantly became quiet as soon as she appeared, and after she left, people began to whisper and gossip about her. This shot was not difficult, it was just a passing scene, and it went through in one take as expected.
Director Zhang Hengjun was very satisfied; this was exactly the feeling he wanted. Cheng Shangen's aura was almost overflowing from the screen, but there was still something a little bit wrong. She felt a little too high-end. Han Enche's aura was also strong, which was the result of being brought up by the second male lead in the past two years. But after all, she has been in such an environment since she was a child. But it is not a big deal now.
The next scene is the rivalry between Min Xiaolin, Cheng Shangen and two cannon fodder female supporting roles. The filming location is the women's restroom, the company's gossip paradise. The two cannon fodder female supporting roles are complaining to each other in the restroom about Han Enche, played by Cheng Shangen, saying that she relied on the president to get to the top and other gossips. The heroine Hua Xiula, played by Min Xiaolin, appears. Because she is a newcomer, the two are afraid that she will complain, so they want to drag the heroine along to say something bad. The heroine scolds them in a few words and refuses to go along with them. The two then put on airs of seniority and speak sharply to the heroine.
Then Han Eun-cheol came on the stage and mercilessly mocked and humiliated the two of them.
Min Xiaolin had the standard pure makeup of a heroine, and smiled at Cheng Shangen when she saw her.
Cheng Shangen also smiled at her.
This needs to be shot many times. The camera has to capture their entanglement over there, as well as Cheng Shangen's expression.
The scene ended with Cheng Shangen throwing a handful of water on the cannon fodder's face and spitting out sarcastically: "Ah, wake up a little."
Then she watched Min Xiaolin pick out an ambiguous laugh and the scene ended.
As soon as the director shouted "cut", Cheng Shangen's aura completely dissipated. She looked at the actress who was splashed with water by her and quickly asked Lou Zilin to hand her a towel: "Are you okay?"
The actress smiled and said, "It's okay." She had played many small roles and had been splashed with water many times. However, small and unknown supporting roles like them were generally not paid attention to. It was normal and default for them to ignore you after the performance.
Min Xiaolin smiled at Cheng Sean and said, "Sean, you acted really well. I was surprised. The look in your eyes at the end really dragged me into Wasula."
Cheng Shangen also smiled and replied: "Ouni also acted very well, I should learn more from Ouni, the control of details is really good."
The two looked at each other and smiled, stopping the complimenting.
Cheng Shangen is only the second female lead in the drama and doesn't have many scenes. She just needs to film one more scene opposite the male lead and that's it.
The male lead is Lee Jong-suk. Writer Kim Eun-hee also brought them to meet before. Compared with the female lead, Lee Jong-suk is not that big of a star. He has not played the male lead in many TV dramas, and his appearance is not a traditional handsome man. However, the teardrop mole under his eye is so charming.
.
The mole really adds to his looks. Cheng Shangen thinks that he is tall and fair-skinned, making him particularly suitable for playing the role of a first love senior in campus dramas. It’s exciting just thinking about it.
In this scene, Han Enche was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice the speeding car at all. When she came to her senses, it felt like nails were nailed into her feet and she couldn't move at all. It was at this time that the male protagonist appeared and pulled her up, and after that, he only left a proud sentence: "Be careful." and left.
It’s a simple and uncomplicated scene, and she’ll be done with it today after filming it.
Li Zhongshuo also controlled the feeling very well, the two cooperated well, and the scene went through smoothly.
Li Zhongshuo nodded slightly at her: "Thank you for your hard work."
Cheng Shangen bowed slightly. After all, Li Zhongshuo was her senior.
After finishing his part, Cheng Shangen said goodbye to them and went home. I have to say, filming in Korea is quite pleasant. It's such a small place and you can go home whenever you want. Moreover, his roles are not many and all the actors in the crew are kind. Min Xiaolin is gentle and kind, Lee Jong-suk is a sunny senior. As for Lee Soo-hyuk, they have already started chatting and their relationship has made great progress.
Cheng Shangen sat comfortably in the spacious car, crossing his legs and squinting his eyes.
It seemed that she was indeed too comfortable now, and Jin Qiaodong began to remind her: "I have arranged a few variety shows and activities for you. You are very busy now. There are still many scripts looking for you. Pick one when you have time."
Cheng Shangen was a little curious: "What variety show?"
"There are Japanese and Korean variety shows." Jin Qiaodong said, "They are all variety shows with good ratings that can increase national popularity."
Cheng Shangen almost choked up: "You accepted me to appear in a Japanese variety show? Oh my god, Sister Jin, you want to kill me!"
Japanese variety shows are all about teasing celebrities. Although it's quite interesting to watch, Cheng Shangen sometimes laughs like a pig when watching Japanese variety shows. It's fun to play pranks on others, but it's not fun at all if it happens to yourself. She just wants to be a quiet audience.
Jin Qiaodong glanced at her calmly and said, "Don't I know that you are as weak as a chicken? It's just a talk show. You just need to learn more about Japanese jokes and tell more jokes."
Cheng Shangen finally felt relieved. Although some interviews were horrible and no topic was off-limits, and some programs even liked obscene jokes, she believed she could do it compared to the physically torturous interviews!
"Don't be so comfortable here all the time. Do you think that just making a movie will be enough? Choose the script I give you quickly. It's better to choose a Japanese drama. Don't forget that you still have to return to China when the time comes. Look, your salary here is not even enough to pay for the fuel for this car." Jin Qiaodong couldn't help nagging her.
Cheng Shangen did not deny that the pay here is indeed incomparable to that in China. Her current popularity is so high that her pay is beyond the reach of even third-tier domestic stars. When she was so unknown in China, her pay was a little higher than it is now.
Cheng Shangen flipped through the script and rejected a lot of them: "Sister Jin, you don't have to give me any costume dramas here in the future. I don't want to shoot this."
It cannot be said that she won't shoot costume dramas. She still likes costume dramas very much, but costume dramas must be shot in China. She said that shooting costume dramas in Korea is really too shabby, whether it is the clothing or the living quarters. The domestic history can't stand the test. In Korea... it's better to shoot modern dramas.
Jin Qiaodong rolled his eyes at her and said, "You are the only one who has too many problems!"
"Choose carefully for me! You must win me a few awards at the end of the year!" Jin Qiaodong gave the order.
"Okay." Cheng Shangen responded in a playful manner. Although the two of them were chatting here so casually, they both knew in their hearts that it was not easy for people of other nationalities to win local awards here.
The author has something to say: It’s so annoying, when will they be able to kiss each other! ! ! I have to try hard to arrange them on the 14th (灬灬)
