Chapter 924 Which one looks better
Liu Zhimin, who was originally practicing dancing, was suddenly called out from the crowd by the director Li Meizhu. She was confused and followed her with some doubts. She wanted to ask something, but gave up after moving her lips... After suffering losses and being scolded several times after entering the company, she already knew that this director did not like people to talk too much.

Wiping the sweat off her face, she followed obediently. The sound of light footsteps was heard in the shabby corridor... But Li Meizhu didn't go far, nor did she go to the office. Instead, she took her to the corner and stopped.

After standing still, Li Meizhu turned her head and looked at Liu Zhimin. She really didn't expect that this trainee who had just joined the company for a few months actually passed the screening and got the opportunity to audition. She also thought that Chi Jingyuan would choose from the rookies girls in the company.

After carefully looking the child up and down, and making a new estimate in her heart, Li Meizhu smiled and explained the reason: "The record department of the company sent a message, asking you to audition the day after tomorrow..."

After saying that, looking at Liu Zhimin's puzzled expression, as if she hadn't reacted yet, Li Meizhu smiled and reminded her: "It's the MV actress audition over there from Yuan..."

"Ah?" Liu Zhimin was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise... She didn't expect that Director Li called her out because of this matter.

Although she really wanted to get this opportunity and was quite confident in herself...but after all, her competitors were very strong and she felt that the probability of success was slim. After the audition was postponed, she felt that there was no hope so she didn't take it seriously.

I didn't expect to hear this news suddenly at this moment. The indifference I seemed to have before disappeared in an instant, and I suddenly felt excited and nervous.

…It doesn’t matter, but which female trainee doesn’t want to work with today’s most popular idol? Not to mention exposure, topics, and qualifications for future debut, this experience alone is something worth bragging about for a long time.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing the girl in front of her showing such an expression, Li Meizhu nodded. That's right, this is the normal reaction... That's Ji Jingyuan's MV.

"The audition location is in the company's new building. I'll take you there after lunch the day after tomorrow afternoon. You can wear whatever you want and don't worry about your makeup. Just show up. There are clothes prepared and a special cody to do your makeup."

After talking about the things that need to be paid attention to, Lee Mi Joo gave another special reminder after thinking about it: "But it's best not to eat lunch. If you appear on camera right after eating, you will look fat."

Then I won't eat breakfast...

Liu Zhimin immediately made a decision in his mind.

After hearing that Li Meizhu didn't seem to have any more to say, Liu Zhimin was nervous. After hesitating for a while, he still spoke nervously and asked tentatively: "Director Nim, what is the audition about? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"Don't be too nervous..." Li Meizhu could see the excitement and nervousness in the child's heart at a glance. She laughed secretly in her heart, thought about it, and said something to comfort him:
"She's just an actress in the music video. I asked Representative Choi over there, and he said she's the heroine, but in fact, according to the planned shooting settings, her screen time is not that long, only about ten seconds. The main reason is that this is Yuan's solo song music video, so it must be naturally very popular and topical."

"As for the audition, I've asked about it. There are no requirements for acting skills or singing skills. These are not important. The main thing is to look at your appearance, temperament, and figure. It's OK as long as you meet the requirements and are relatively outstanding... You don't need to prepare anything specifically for this. You can't just go get a make-up done on the spur of the moment, right?"

Just joking, Li Meizhu saw Liu Zhimin smiling awkwardly and felt a little sad, "As for the things to pay attention to...be polite and pay attention to calling people, there's nothing else to do."

As she spoke, she remembered something and looked at Liu Zhimin and emphasized, "If you have to pay attention, it's to remember to observe Yuan's expression and eyes... Don't look at the director sitting next to you. This audition and everything are up to him. If he says you can do it, then it's fine. If he's not satisfied, it doesn't matter if everyone else is satisfied."

"what……"

Hearing this, Liu Zhimin couldn't help but let out a small exclamation.

Although I had heard that the treatment and privileges of that senior in the company were extremely exaggerated, but after being a trainee for a few months, I had already witnessed the strict hierarchical relationship in SM and the strong official-centered thinking within the company. I never expected that Chi Jingyuan, an idol, could actually jump out of this framework and turn all the other company employees into foils.

It also……

"Okay, that's it. Just wait for me in the practice room at noon the day after tomorrow. I'll come find you."

After explaining almost everything, Li Meizhu patted her on the shoulder and started to walk back. Finally, she encouraged Liu Zhimin: "I heard from Director Cui over there that one of the two MV heroines will definitely be reserved for children in the company. There are only four people in the company who participated in the audition, including you. The other two children have been practicing for several years, and you are the only one who just joined the company. Zhimin, you still have a good chance."

"Thank you, Director-nim..."

In response to the encouragement from his boss, Liu Zhimin quickly bowed to express his gratitude, said a few words and then said goodbye and returned to the practice room.

At this time, a song had already been danced to the end in the practice room. When the other girls saw her come back, they all looked over curiously. Several of them who were close to her came over to ask what happened.

However, Liu Zhimin just laughed and passed it off without saying anything directly...

Although she was really excited about getting the audition opportunity, she would gain nothing by saying it out loud except for making others jealous and envious... She had already gained some experience after suffering a few losses after joining the company.

And it's just an audition. If I say it now, if I fail and then come back, I don't know how I'll be ridiculed and mocked... If I want to show off, I'd better wait until I'm really successful.

After dealing with other girls who asked questions, Liu Zhimin sat in the corner of the practice room, staring at the wooden floor in front of her in a daze, and suddenly a strong sense of anticipation arose in her heart.

I don't know what the most popular and powerful male idols who are praised by fans as "Three Men, One Historical Man, One Visual Miracle" and other titles are actually like in reality...

Could it be another Kai...

………………

""The most popular artist nowadays, everyone is talking about Ji Jingyuan - he has topped the TV performer topic list for four consecutive weeks""

In the nanny car on the way to the crew, Chi Jingyuan was sitting in the back seat and browsing the news. He immediately saw the hot search about "Goblin" that was very prominently listed on the list.

"Gooddata, a topic analysis agency of Peninsula TV, announced the topic ranking of 34 actors in 371 TV dramas currently airing or to be aired, 180 actors in non-TV dramas, and 1917 topics currently aired, based on the number of clicks on online news, blogs, social platforms, and videos."

"As a result, in the TV drama category, the male protagonist Ji Jingyuan of the currently popular "Goblin" has been ranked first in terms of topicality for four consecutive weeks, and his popularity and topicality are leading by a huge margin. From second to fifth place, it is the leading actors of "Goblin", Bae Suzy, Lee Dong Wook, Liu Inna, and Yook Sung Jae. The shocking scene that the leading actors completely swept the top five places also perfectly demonstrates the super popularity of the hit drama "Goblin" itself."

"It is reported that not only in the mainland of the peninsula, but also in Japan, the mainland, Hong Kong Island and the entire Southeast Asia region have all been caught up in the "Goblin" fever..."

"Goblin is really popular..."

Seeing the fault data that showed he was far ahead, Chi Jingyuan looked at his phone with a complacent and reserved tone and said, "Haha."

"Of course, Jingyuan, your drama is already a complete phenomenon."

Park Jae-hyun, the co-pilot, immediately understood what he meant and continued, "This drama, as well as your personal popularity, topic traffic, and other data have surpassed the hit drama Descendants of the Sun at the beginning of the year. Your personal advertising endorsements and various invitations in the local market have doubled in the past month, almost surpassing Kim Soo-hyun in 14, and this is despite the restrictions on the mainland market."

"By the way, speaking of this, I was just looking for a chance to tell you."

As he spoke, Park Jae-hyun remembered something and turned to look over. "Recently, the department in charge of SM has been flooded with invitations for endorsements and activities for you. They have selected the best ones that match your status and accepted them. However, there are a few more important invitations that you need to make your own decisions. The information has been sent to me. You can take a look at it when you want."

"Well... tomorrow." Chi Jingyuan said after a moment of consideration. It was too late today and he had other things to do on the set.

"Ok."

"Are there a lot?" Chi Jingyuan felt a little excited after hearing what Park Jae-hyun said. After a pause, he tried to ask again.

“It’s a lot… and it’s expensive.”

"Hmm~" Chi Jingyuan blinked, leaned back, changed his posture, and crossed his legs.

Being next to Kim Jong-in made him feel a little depressed... He really needs to listen to more news like this to feel better.

…………

"Ahhh, Oppa is coming, Oppa is coming!"

The car arrived at the shooting location, but before it drove in, a very piercing scream came into the car through the window. Chi Jingyuan looked out through the glass film and saw that both sides of the crew's door were filled with all kinds of fans. Dozens or even hundreds of fans were waiting here, and they were instantly excited when they saw his nanny car.

In addition to the outdoor filming locations, "Goblin" has several fixed filming locations. Since the broadcast of "Goblin", fans have often been waiting in these places, and Chi Jingyuan has become accustomed to it.

However, as the temperature got colder, the number of people waiting there not only did not decrease, but increased... and most of them came for Chi Jingyuan himself.

Through the window, Chi Jingyuan saw them wearing coats and hats, but still frozen by the low temperature, stamping their feet and rubbing their hands.

Seeing these fans getting excited and thrilled instantly after seeing his car, with expressions and smiles as if the cold weather around them and the previous difficulties did not exist, my heart was warmed, and a feeling of gratitude and shame instantly surged in my heart.

"Stop, drive slower."

Chi Jingyuan said something to Cui Zhichang who was driving, and after the car suddenly slowed down, he opened the window directly, clasped his hands together towards the fans on both sides, and shouted loudly: "Thank you very much, please go back early, it's really too cold outside."

It's not a good idea to get off the car directly in this situation, as it might cause a commotion... But since he has encountered this, Chi Jingyuan doesn't want to let these fans who have been left out for so long just to see him go back empty-handed.

"Ah ah ah."

"Yuan!! Jin Qian!!" As soon as he showed up, many girls nearby became so excited that they could hardly control themselves, and their screams echoed around them incessantly.

However, although these fans were excited after seeing Chi Jingyuan, they were surprisingly very polite in chasing stars. They did not rush to the front of the car, but restrained themselves and stood on the curb a few meters away from the car, greedily looking at Chi Jingyuan in the window, and kept loudly expressing their love for him:
"Oppa, I love you!"

"Kangsangmida." Faced with the fans' politeness and enthusiasm, Chi Jingyuan replied gratefully.

"Jingyuanxi, is there only 16 episodes of "Goblin"? Can it be extended? I love this drama so much."

"Thank you for your love, but I can't make the decision. I will pass your suggestion to PD Li and writer Jin."

"Jingyuanxi, please marry Dongxuxi, we support you!"

"But the laws of the peninsula do not allow this kind of behavior... and Dong-wook's partner in the drama is Yoo In-na..."

"Oppa, Jin Yeon must be with Ji Eun Tak."

"Please continue reading."

"Oppa, you are with Ji Eun Tak in the drama, can you also be with Suzy in real life?!"

"Forehead……"

"...Thank you for your love. Please go home early! Take care of yourself and don't catch a cold."

Some questions were really hard to answer, so Chi Jingyuan just pretended to be dumb and ignored them. After interacting with the fans for a while, he took the initiative to say goodbye, and the nanny car drove in with the other party's reluctant wave.

"You're so popular." Park Jae-hyun, who had been pretending to be indifferent, turned around and raised his eyebrows after driving into the crew.

“I’m very happy… but to be honest, I feel a little burdened.”

Chi Jingyuan exhaled, the warmth in his heart still lingering, but these fans were still waiting here in such a cold day just to be by his side, this behavior really made him at a loss for words.

Then he looked at the familiar scenery and roads outside the window and said casually, "A few more support cars? Is this portrait...sent by Song Ji Hyo?"

"Yes, it was just delivered today. Ji Hyoxi and Dong Wookxi are very good friends and they sent it specifically to support him."

"So..." Chi Jingyuan nodded in understanding. It was the first time he knew about this relationship.

The main actors all have good connections. Since the show started airing and became more and more popular, there has been a constant stream of support vehicles from the crew. They are parked in a long line every day, and a closer look reveals that they are all sent by well-known artists in the circle.

The support car that Yoona senior gave him just left a few days ago.

"Coming~"

"...Jingyuan, the progress has been delayed a lot in the last few days at the end of the year. Stay with the crew for a few more days this time and hurry up to finish filming the last few episodes..."

After getting off the car, Chi Jingyuan walked straight into the crew. After greeting the staff, he found Li Yingfu who was looking at the surveillance equipment.

When Li Yingfu saw Chi Jingyuan, he pulled him to sit next to him, and after a few greetings, he started to open his heart to him.

"Don't worry, brother. Except for the schedule the day after tomorrow afternoon, I will stay in the crew during this period of time." Faced with the director's complaints, Chi Jingyuan could only smile embarrassedly and pat his chest to make a promise.

"Goblin" started filming a long time in advance, and had nearly six episodes in stock when it was first aired. At the same time, the filming efficiency was also very high after the broadcast... This is also the confidence and reason why Ji Jingyuan can fulfill his idol duties at the end of the year.

However, due to various activities of the main actors including him, the filming progress slowed down a lot, and only two episodes of the previous six episodes were left.

However, the tenth episode was already aired on the 31st of last year, and now there are only six episodes left to air. Adding the stock, the filming of this drama has actually come to an end, and it should be finished in another week or two.
"That's fine..." Li Yingfu nodded in satisfaction. After saying a few more words, he remembered something and reminded, "By the way, the ratings agreement we made last time has been reached. You can find a time to record it... I've already made an appointment with the others. How about tomorrow?"

"Ok, no problem."

Chi Jingyuan agreed immediately... He has been paying attention to the ratings of "Goblin". Last year, the ratings agreement for "TT" was issued and it quickly reached its target.

"Speaking of which, the effect is quite good. The second episode after the convention was released achieved the desired effect. It seems that many people want to see you guys do that girl group dance. Tsk tsk..."

"Haha, just joining in the fun."

Chi Jingyuan also smiled helplessly, chatted with Li Yingfu for a while, then said goodbye and prepared for the filming. After changing his clothes, he sat on the stool next to him and waited for his part.

Bae Suzy did not come today. In addition to the surge in endorsements and activities, this woman has been busy with her solo album recently, and has been absent for a lot of time because of this.

So everyone, let's not talk about the second brother...

I don’t know if it was telepathy, but when Chi Jingyuan was sitting there and thinking about this woman, his cell phone suddenly vibrated. Bae Suzy sent him a text message.

"Which one do you think looks better?"

After the simple text, there are two selfies. In the photos, she is standing in front of a mirror with her phone covering her face. In one photo, she is wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with jeans, and in the other, she is wearing a pink sweater with black leggings. She has curly hair and a slim figure. The background is in JYP's practice room.

Chi Jingyuan looked at the two photos and replied puzzledly: "What?"

"We are going to shoot a practice studio version of the title song and dance for our fans. Which one do you think is more suitable?"

“I’m not your fan.”

"It's not just for fans...it's for you too~ (love heart)"

Ah.

Chi Jingyuan sneered, but his eyes were still on the two photos.
The clothes are all plain without any patterns and look a bit simple, and the pants are also tight... Not to mention, Bae Suzy's temperament and figure are really suitable for this kind of outfit.

After carefully examining it for a while, Chi Jingyuan typed a reply: "The one with the pink sweater."

"Pink? I actually like the white one better, but since you said so, I decided on pink... It's for you, Jingyuan Oppa~"

"It's up to you to wear it or not." Chi Jingyuan was not fooled by her at all... If he chose white, this woman would definitely say that she liked the pink one.

"Tsk~ If I really didn't wear it, you would be angry... By the way, I'm going to the crew tomorrow. Do you want to have a drink with me after filming tonight?"

Chi Jingyuan felt a little surprised when he saw her suddenly take the initiative to invite him. Ever since the broadcast of "Goblin", the careers of both of them have been on the rise and they have been too busy to get away. It has been a while since they had such a private date.

He sent a message with a little confusion: "Why do you suddenly want to drink?"

A few seconds later, the text message came back:

"You've been in a bad mood these past few days, haven't you? A beautiful lady should drink a few glasses with you, and you'll feel better. If that doesn't work, I can let you touch me a few more times."
