peninsula asteroid.

It was raining heavily, and Park Hae Young penetrated the rain curtain, staring straight at the face of the woman wearing red high heels and holding an umbrella elegantly, staring intently at the long-awaited face. The cars coming and going, the white and yellow headlights staggered, and the blinking eyes flashed on their faces.

The camera gave a close-up of Park Hae-young, and then gave a close-up of the woman, and then slowly zoomed out to print all the figures of the two people into it, and the picture was frozen. The cameras looking at each other in the rain began to slowly blur, as if turning into a vivid relief, and the first episode of "Signal" ended.

"Those who are leaving..."

"You who can't forget."

"..."

"wo..."

Listening to the husky singing of female singer inkii, watching the closing shot on TV and the various sponsorship advertising logos that followed, Kim Taeyeon came back to her senses from the shock just now, and she didn't know when she curled up on the sofa. Excitedly waving her feet in the air a few times, she turned up the volume to Lee Soon Kyu next to her, and said, "This drama is so good! Wow, this woman looks really hateful at the end, and she's still wearing lipstick and laughing...

"The last scene is so emotional. Did you see the close-up eyes of him, tsk tsk..." She seemed to have not withdrawn from the previous plot, she said a series of words, and at the end she could still stare, thinking To imitate Park Hae Young's eyes in the last close-up shot

"It's indeed very good-looking..." Li Shunkyu also became energetic at this time, and he didn't look so lazy. He nodded in agreement: "The setting of dialogue through time and space is quite attractive... and the script and shooting It’s great, but after only watching the first episode, I feel that it is far different from ordinary suspense dramas, and Jing Yuan’s performance is really good, and the image of the male protagonist has already been established in the first episode.”

"And he's very handsome. He's done a great job changing his hairstyle. The short hair looks really nice and tastes special." Kim Taeyeon said with bright eyes and couldn't help but lick her lips as she spoke.

"Handsome has nothing to do with you..." A roll of eyes immediately slanted over.

"The female murderer should have been caught, right? Did she plead guilty in the end? Doesn't it mean that there are only 10 minutes left in the prosecution period?" Thinking of the suspense left just now, Kim Taeyeon, who seemed to have become a fan of the drama, felt scratched in her heart. , I was hooked and wanted to see the progress of the next plot, and wanted to see that vicious woman rope be severely sanctioned.

The beginning and the end of the first episode are all the shots of Park Hae-young looking at each other in the rain, the atmosphere has been fully heightened by the echoes before and after, and in the middle, the mother of Kim Yun-jin has been waiting at the gate of the police station for 15 years for her daughter's case. Sensational, has made all the audience into the plot, very much want to know the follow-up progress.

"Ask him yourself, the filming of these few episodes has not been finished long ago."

Li Shungui's eyes turned and he had an idea, and he started to tease the little guy next to him.

This show was unexpectedly good, and she actually wanted to know about it.

"good idea!"

As soon as Kim Taeyeon's eyes lit up, she took out her phone and started tapping.

…………

"Has the female murderer been caught? Has she pleaded guilty in the end!!!"

Just as he and the crew had just finished watching the premiere, a group of people were chatting and discussing when his cell phone suddenly rang. Chi Jingyuan opened it and saw that it was Kim Taeyeon who had sent it. She asked him about the development of the plot next. It was obviously a talent. Just finished watching the premiere of the first episode of The Signal.

So support me?
Feeling this sister's support, Chi Jingyuan was a little moved.

And she seemed to have really taken it into consideration, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed over to ask as soon as it was over. From the last few exclamation points in the text message, you can feel Kim Taeyeon's anxiety and strong curiosity.

Chi Jingyuan replied casually, and chatted with this sister, unexpectedly, the phone rang again 2 minutes later, and this time it was actually Lin Yuner who sent it.

"'Signal' is awesome, Park Hae Young's performance is very good!

Chi Jingyuan looked at the screen and blinked his eyes in a daze. It turned out that Senior Yun'er also watched the premiere.

"Thank you."

Chi Jingyuan quickly replied, thanking him sincerely.

He decided that when the time comes, he must stick to the premiere of the TV series of his predecessors, which can be regarded as reciprocation.

Immediately afterwards, several friends sent messages, either greetings or congratulations. Obviously, the previous publicity and foreshadowing of the show "Signal" were really extraordinary, and it aroused a lot of attention in the circle.

While quickly replying to the past with his friends, and at the same time chatting casually with the director and actors beside him, Chi Jingyuan immediately took the phone and didn't talk about anything else, but seriously read the comments on the Internet.

This is what he cares most about right now.

Because of its successor to "Reply 1988" and its own strong lineup, "Signal" can be regarded as a hit before it was aired. In addition, the first episode showed exquisite settings and wonderful plots. It was not long after it was aired. The number of comments online began to increase rapidly. Some just expressed their feelings in two sentences, but there were also long comments that were written very carefully.

"I just finished watching the premiere of "Signal". My evaluation is really exciting. It is indeed a special project for the 15th anniversary of tvN. After the first episode, I think it is better than last year's "Misheng". The shots from [-] years ago are also very old-fashioned through rendering, and the script adapted from real events is indeed more substituting. In addition, this setting of talking through time and space through the walkie-talkie is really amazing...

In terms of actors, Zhao Zhenxiong didn't show his face much, so I won't comment. I think Kim Hye-soo's performance is average, and the character image has not been established. Maybe the plot has not yet unfolded...

But Chi Kyung-won's Park Hae-young really shines in this episode, whether it's the self-confidence and black belly that leaked the artist's gossip for the first time, the determination to reveal the truth for guilt and justice, and the crisis. The desperation and calmness in tense moments are both very good, and the changes and transitions are natural...especially the close-ups in the middle, the eyes facing the camera, and the eyes in the rain at the end are all classics. His acting skills Obviously, he is much more mature than when he played Zhang Klai in "Weisheng" last year. This kid only shoots one movie a year and is his EXO for the rest of the time. His acting skills have improved so much. Both idols and actors have done it. Being so good can only be said to be really talented, and others cannot envy it.

Of course, there are also shortcomings. The pace at the beginning of the first episode is a bit slow, and the first ten minutes are a bit lengthy. The appearance of Cha Soo-hyun played by Kim Hye-soo generally has no highlights, but this problem seems to be negligible for now. I can predict, Based on what was shown in the first episode of "Signal", as long as it doesn't collapse later, this show will be popular. "

"The setting of the time-space call? It's so cool. I just saw the scene where the two male protagonists talk to each other after 15 years, and I got goosebumps."

"Park Hae Young is so handsome, an elite profiler, with excellent ability, self-confidence, firmness, justice, calmness, and a bit of sarcasm, wow, every one of them is super teasing me...Of course, it may also be my Oppa. Handsome! tip. When I saw Chi Jingyuan triumphantly discussing his own relationship with the crew, I really burst out laughing, but I still really like that this kind of situation will never happen in reality!"

"The first case was quite touching. The little girl Jin Yunzhen is so cute. I thought she was the protagonist's childhood sweetheart. I didn't expect it to disappear all of a sudden. Alas... Chi Jingyuan played very well. He should be the one I have seen before. He is the best actor among the idol actors, and why do I feel that Kim Hye-soo's performance in this episode is average, the characters have no ups and downs, there is no Park Hae-young in the police station, and he only yells at the end, look at it It's not as bright as Chi Jingyuan... Is it my illusion?"

"Garbage TV series, garbage pool Jingyuan, acting skills are much worse than TOP Oppa, hurry up and die..."

After ignoring the extreme offensive remarks of some black fans, the audience's evaluation of the first episode of "Signal" is mostly positive, especially the evaluation of the role of Park Hae Young played by Ji Jingyuan is very good, Consider it one of the biggest highlights of the first episode.

After browsing for more than ten minutes, he also slowly relaxed a lot after seeing these highly praised comments on the Internet.

In fact, for the show "Signal", Chi Jingyuan was under a lot of pressure when it was approaching the premiere.

The source of the pressure is not whether the show will be successful. He is very confident in the main creative lineup, cast and script setting of the show "Signal". It's not about being nervous.

The biggest source of pressure actually came from within the crew, from the other two leading actors.

The other two leading actors, Kim Hye Soo and Jo Jin Woong, are both well-known movie stars. They have won awards and are widely recognized in the industry. They have superb acting skills and rich experience. In the three-protagonist setting mode of "Signal", he is As long as the youngest actor fails in his performance, he will easily be magnified countless times by the other two. Once his performance is not good, he will look like an idiot in comparison, and then he will be criticized by the audience who flock to him. , comments such as 'Sure enough, idols are idols, not suitable for acting, and the same goes for Chi Kyung-won', 'It's really disappointing, one person is dragging down a drama'.

Chi Jingyuan doesn't care about the insulting and rumor-making attacks of those black fans at all, but he still cares about this kind of "truth-telling" type of comments, because this kind of truth is a positive view of his career and ability in a sense No, it hurts.

And he debuted for such a long time, and he has never been a back that drags his feet. He doesn't want to try it here.

But now the evaluation after the first episode is not bad, it can’t even be said to be good but should be said to be very good. Many places can see the praise of Park Hae Young and himself, which can be regarded as a long sigh of relief for him.

But to have such a good evaluation, in addition to Ji Jingyuan's own hard work, the screenwriter and director are also very important for the change of Park Hae Young's character and image. The Park Hae Young that is broadcast now has done a lot with the settings in the previous script. change.

Although Park Hae Young was given the elite character of an 'excellent psychological profiler' in the original setting, she did not show it too much in the plot. Instead, she was more focused on being impulsive, irritable, and even overwhelmed.

"The situation is very urgent now, you listen to me, you shut up, it's too late, tell you to listen to me!" This kind of scene where he grabbed others and roared helplessly appeared many times in the script.

This kind of setting has too little layering of the characters, it is really difficult to act, and it is easy to overdo it and make people feel disgusted. Although Korean dramas are used to performing exaggerated performances, but in a more serious TV series like "Signal" , this kind of performance is easy for the audience to play, and it is set off like a child in front of the excellent character of Li Caihan played by Zhao Zhenxiong.

After Ji Jingyuan brought it up, the director and screenwriter also discovered this problem, so they made changes after several meetings and discussions a while ago, so that the role of Park Hae-young became calmer in the play, and in the plot and In the performance, the character design of "elite" is more prominent, the elite profiler has outstanding ability, and also adds a little bit of humor and a sense of justice.

At present, it seems that the effect of the changes is very good, and the next step is to look at the follow-up development.

After reading the comments on the first broadcast, I was in a good mood. Chi Jingyuan looked around at the situation of the crew at this time. Over there, Jin Yuanxi and Zhao Zhenxiong were laughing and chatting, and the director was still pointing at the TV. What, on the other side, Kim Hye Soo went out with her agent, and the other actors and staff around her were also doing their own things, the atmosphere was quite good, right?

Park Jae-hyun came over and handed Chi Jingyuan a cup of hot coffee that he had just received. Chi Jingyuan took two sips after taking it, and was about to say something when the phone rang again.

Glancing at the caller, father.

He glanced around and found that there were no outsiders around him, so he took advantage of the opportunity to connect.

"miss me……"

He just smiled and wanted to say hello, but before he could say a word, he was interrupted by the other party. Pei Zhuxuan had a serious voice on the phone and asked him aggressively:
"Ah, Chi Jingyuan, when did you date Jiang Sula? Why didn't I know?"

"Forehead……"

Chi Jingyuan was taken aback by the sudden questioning, but he didn't react for a while.

Pei Zhuxuan over there also noticed Chi Jingyuan's bewildered feeling and the sudden stop of his voice, and couldn't hold back any longer, so he burst out laughing directly: "Hahaha~"

The laughter is cheerful and lively, with a little smugness after a successful prank.

Apparently she just watched the premiere of "Signal" and used Park Hae-young to sell the news to make fun of him
"That's all fake."

After reacting, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but shook his head, not annoyed, he smiled and followed the funny young lady and said: "This news was specially released by Chi Jingyuan in order to cover up his relationship with Pei Zhuxuan. You don't know, Park Hae Young took my money from one of my own..."

"Hahaha……"

The young lady burst out laughing again, the middle voice changed a bit, probably because she was afraid that the laughter would be too loud and disturb others so she covered herself, but Chi Jingyuan's heart skipped a beat when she heard the clever voice.

At the end, Pei Zhuxuan asked in a sweet and greasy voice: "Really?"

"What do you think?" Chi Jingyuan asked back.

"Hee hee..." There was a soft laugh, and the two seemed to sense each other's thoughts, and then fell into a sweet silence for a few seconds.Listen to each other's breathing.

"Have you watched the premiere?" After a while, Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to ask, "How do you feel?"

"Looks good! Wuli man is super handsome."

The young lady praised without flinching, then remembered something, laughed and continued: "We worked overtime yesterday, and we came back a little early today, just now I watched the premiere with Shiqi and the others, haha... "

"You don't know, Sun Wendy was eliminated from the "King of Masked Singer" two days ago. She even bragged to us that she would bring back a king of singers... It's been a few days now, but just now Wendy Sun watched When I went to Park Hae Young's, my eyes were straight, and after watching it, I still yelled and discussed the plot."

Pei Zhuxuan said with a smile, obviously very careful, when watching her boyfriend's TV series, she can also take into account the reactions of the members next to her.

"Shengwan also participated in "The King of Masked Singer"?" Chi Jingyuan just found out, and hadn't paid much attention to it before.

However, this relative has good singing skills and is quite suitable for this program.

"Yes, but it's a pity that we didn't go far..." Pei Zhuxuan also felt a little regretful, but after all, it has been several days and she will not be disappointed. She quickly remembered an interesting thing: "The most interesting thing is to beat her Just standing on the stage wearing a mask, Lu Xingcai, who was a guest, instantly recognized her, and she was taken aback. After she came back, she asked Xiurong if she had told others about her participation..."

"Haha."

Thinking of that scene, Chi Jingyuan also laughed,

Although he and Pei Zhuxuan had to send text messages or talk on the phone almost every day after becoming a father and mother, they didn't feel tired at all. Every time the young lady called, she seemed to have endless words and couldn't hide her happiness.

The two chatted cheerfully for a while, Chi Jingyuan also talked about some interesting things during filming, and Pei Zhuxuan mentioned something: "By the way, have you heard that we are going to move to a new building soon .”

"Well, the agent has already said that our XO practice room has already been allocated. Junmian and the others went to see it two days ago, and said that the environment of the new building is quite good, and the practice room is much more luxurious... The blue sky and white clouds are much better now."

Chi Jingyuan and the others have been notified some time ago that the new building in Samseong-dong, which has been difficult to deliver for more than a year, will finally be officially put into use. It has been confirmed that all artist practice rooms will be transferred there in early February. This kind of work will be carried out in the new building. At this time, many high-level departments of the company have passed away, and the main function of this old building on Seolneung Road, Cheongdam-dong is to be used as a practice place for trainees.

The decoration and facilities of the new building are all in accordance with the current high-end design and materials. The internal structure and decoration are different from the old building. Jin Junmyeon and the others were very satisfied after visiting it and came back. What did they say? This is where Kpop's top three companies should be'.

Although the old building has been used for several years, there is a little bit of emotion and a little bit of reluctance, but Chi Jingyuan is quite happy to say goodbye to the blue sky and white clouds practice room that is about to vomit.

If there is no accident, all the practice work for their third regular album of EXO will be carried out in the new building. I don't know what it will be like to use the brand new practice room and music room.

"I haven't been there yet..." Pei Zhuxuan sounded expectant: "I just don't know if our practice room will be close by then."

"It's quite close. It's on the first floor. Brother Jun Mian and the others even told me about it after watching it." Chi Jingyuan chuckled and replied. Although he had never been there, he had heard it said many times by the members. .

"Well, that's pretty good." The young lady was satisfied when she heard it.

"What have you been doing the past few days?" Chi Jingyuan looked at the time and drank the coffee in his hand in one gulp.

"It's fine. I spent most of my time recording the new album in the company. There was a pictorial shoot the day before yesterday. I'll go back to shoot the album cover in two days. Then I'll be fine. I can rest in the dormitory."

Pei Zhuhyun spoke to him with her fingers, her tone was natural, and there seemed to be a sense of relaxation in her voice.

But in fact, she has not received any new personal itinerary since she got off "Music Bank". Although her popularity is thriving in the group, things like popularity and exposure have never progressed or retreated.

But after all, it is not in the comeback period, and a little leisure is acceptable.

It's a pity that Chi Jingyuan has to be busy with filming, otherwise, when Pei Zhuxuan is relatively free these days, they can go out for a date or something.

"By the way, you haven't forgotten the sound source of "Dream" recorded the night after tomorrow, have you?" At the end, Chi Jingyuan deliberately reminded.

"Of course I haven't forgotten! How could such a thing be forgotten?" It seemed that Pei Zhuxuan was a little dissatisfied because of being questioned,
"See you then."

"okay."
