Peninsula: From a supporting actor to the best actor in Chungmuro

Chapter 42 Support Car

The scent of ginkgo wafts through Dongtan International High School in September.

When Kang Jae-hoon arrived at the filming location, the props team was hanging a gold-plated plaque with the words "Empire High School" at the school gate.

"Jiang Jaehoonxi came early."

The stagehand greeted with a smile: "Writer Jin asked you to try on Yin Chanrong's school uniform first."

"Ok."

When Jiang Zaixun pushed open the locker room door, there were three sets of school uniforms of different styles hanging on the hanger.

The wardrobe assistant picked up the slim-fit model and gestured to him:
"Writer nim said I wanted a fresh, youthful vibe, so I'll try this one first."

When the shirt collar pressed against his collarbone, Kang Jae-hoon's shoulder line was pinched into a neat triangle. The belt was buckled into the last notch, and the trouser legs fell just enough to cover the uppers of his Martin boots.

"Absolutely awesome!"

The costume assistant took two steps back, holding the tape measure, and kept clicking his tongue:

"It's like a comic strip cutoff – an inch wider and you're a bodybuilder, an inch narrower and you're a bamboo pole."

Jiang Zaixun scratched his head and smiled innocently: "It's all because of the tailor's good tailoring."

"No matter how good the tailoring is, it still needs the right hanger!"

".Thanks."

When Kang Jae-hoon came out, the rest of the actors had already arrived one after another.

In addition to agents, assistants and crew members, the entire set was suddenly crowded and bustling.

After everyone arrived, the director held a meeting with all the actors.

Folders printed with the "The Heirs" logo were passed around one by one, with each character's shooting scene and time clearly marked.

The drama will be airing on October 9th, following "Master's Sun" starring Kong Hyo-jin and So Ji-sub.

Jiang Zaixun glanced at his scene schedule - two to three scenes a day on average, and today he only had a scene in the cafe.

After receiving the shooting schedule, the actors dispersed in groups of three or four to get ready for makeup.

Jiang Zaixun came under the parasol and waved the densely marked script at Zheng Xiujing:
"Bona, want to have a scene?"

Krystal Jung flipped through her schedule noisily, pretending not to hear.

"The director said we can just rehearse the lines half an hour before filming, but I think it's safer to do a run-in beforehand."

Seeing that she was still silent, Jiang Zaixun suddenly stepped forward and blocked the schedule she was looking at with the script:

"You probably don't want us to be the last in terms of filming efficiency, right?"

Krystal finally looked up: "The director didn't set any criteria for assessing rapport."

"But frequent NGs will annoy people, right?"

"Only three times."

".good."

The first time, Krystal just read the lines with emotion.

But Jiang Zaixun found that her eyes were not filled with sweet resentment as written in the script, but instead seemed as if she wanted to send him to North Korea to dig coal.

The second time I added body movements.

The script had Lee Bo Na forcibly dragging Yoon Chan Young away, but Krystal Jung directly made it a criminal detention.

Just as we were preparing for the third rehearsal.

A white food truck slowly turned onto the gravel road on the set.

The cluster of pink and blue balloons on the front of the car shook violently with the bumps, like a ball of moving cotton candy.

Jiang Zaixun squinted his eyes to identify the cartoon stickers on the side of the car:
“Guess whose support car is this?”

"No guessing."

"What if someone gave you this surprise? —Celebrating Soo-jung's first drama appearance."

After hearing what he said, Krystal couldn't help but become curious.

Soon, the moment the dining car stopped, the lifting roof opened with a "swish".

The car was covered with promotional photos of Kang Jae-hoon attending "Despicable Me 2", and a blessing sign from Lim Yoon-a was posted in the lower right corner:

Wishing "The Heirs" break all the ratings! — Im Yoona cheers on her vocal partner who works so hard.

"This……"

Jiang Zaixun stared at the poster with his eyes narrowed by the flashlight, and suddenly remembered that time in the parking lot when Lin Yuna asked him when he would join the crew. "Huh."

Zheng Xiujing sneered: "Jiang Jae-hoonxi should go and sign for it."

"Oh"

Jiang Zaixun took two steps and suddenly turned back: "Bo Na, can you come and take a picture for me?"

“I can’t take pictures.”

"Aren't selfies pretty good-looking?" Jiang Jae-hoon muttered softly.

The arrival of the support vehicle did not cause any disturbance on the set.

It’s not that everyone is indifferent to the improvement of the food, but that the director didn’t let anyone go.

Therefore, he had time to check in at the support vehicle.

Jiang Zaixun lifted the insulation curtain of the dining car, and the cool air mixed with the aroma of bonito in oden blew out.

The staff member wearing a peaked cap handed over the list:

"Lin Yunerxi ordered the premium set meal, for 200 people."

"Is this ice cream machine also a matching set?" He pointed to the spinning pink device.

"Inside, all food and drinks in the car are included in the support package."

The clerk took out his phone and said, "You need to strike a pose. We need to send it to Lin Yunerxi for inspection."

"Ah good."

Jiang Jae-hoon made a scissors gesture awkwardly.

"Click——"

"Thank you for your cooperation. Call us anytime if you need a meal."

"Ok."

Jiang Jae-hoon suddenly remembered that Lin Yuna's "Prime Minister and I" should have started filming as well. Should he reply as well?
Thinking of this, he opened the thermal curtain again and asked:
"By the way, how much does this dining car cost?"

"The top package is 200 million won per 100 people, ice cream with fruit is 100 million won, and ice cream or milk tea alone is 80 won."

"So expensive?"

"Prices are transparent and fair!"

"Okay, then you can give her a similar food truck as a gift in return."

Compared to Jiang Zaixun, who had to rely on the company's minimum living allowance to make ends meet in the first half of the year, he can now be considered "generous and wealthy."

The pay for "The Heirs" is the standard for newcomers in the industry - 200 million won per episode.

After deducting the share and tax deduction, he had 1500 million in his hands, plus the dubbing for Jeju Island Culture and Tourism, his total net income was 1800 million won.

Although it hurt him to spend 400 million at one time on the gift of a support car.

But reciprocity is the key to maintaining personal connections.

Jiang Zaixun leaned in the shadow of the dining car, his fingertips tapping rapidly on the screen of his mobile phone:
[I received the support car. Sorry for the expense. I also ordered a food truck to your set, please check it.]

The other party replied at an alarming speed, obviously also checking his phone:

[Keep filming~ (Minions winking emoji)]

Jiang Zaixun just put his phone back into his pocket, and took it out again in less than three seconds: [How is the vomiting scene practice going? ]

【YoonA】: Actual shooting tonight, a little nervous T_T
Jaehoon: Don't copy my sloppy acting style, try to imitate the feeling of choking on a strawberry sundae
[Yoona]: Do you want to vomit elegantly?
[Jaehoon]: Yes! Let the tears roll around in your eyes three times before falling. When you cover your lips with the back of your hand, remember to raise your pinky finger.
Soon I received a voice message, Lin Yuner's voice was smiling:

"I just tried it as you said, and the director said it looked like a Disney princess poisoning scene."

[Jaehoon]: How about referring to the scene in "My Sassy Girl" where Jun Ji-hyun vomits soju?

Just at this moment, the director shouted "Cut".

The crowd exploded instantly and swarmed towards the food truck.

Park Hyung-sik, who was running in the front, squeezed over to Kang Jae-hoon with two ice cream cones in his hands and handed him one:
"When did you become so familiar with the members of Girls' Generation?"

"We've only collaborated once on dubbing."

"Sending a support food truck all at once?"

Park Hyung-sik turned his head to look at Zheng Xiujing, who was standing under the parasol with her arms folded and a cold face:
"Bo-na and Yoona have known each other for a long time but have never been treated this way."
