Chapter 69: The Insignificant One

She directly announced:"2013 Melon Music Award Best Song of the Year...""Oh my gosh, I'm so nervous... I don't know why my dy is so insightful today, choosing such the right clothes."When she was fin...It was already the middle of the night, and everyone was waiting to go home and rest. However, the progress of the ad shoot was noticeably slower because of her, and the staff, including the director, naturally felt resentful in their hearts.

The director's tone just now was already quite impolite.

After announcing the break, Chi Jingyuan bowed to the surrounding key staff members before returning to his seat. No one would be dissatisfied, and many even smiled back in return.

They all know that Chi Jingyuan has become very popular recently because of a TV series. He's the main actor in this ad, and he's clearly very good at filming commercials. The crew is quite satisfied with him.

As a rookie with no popularity or representative works, Kong Seon-yeon was different. After announcing her break, she couldn't just rest. Instead, she kept bowing and apologizing to the staff alongside her manager.

If you meet someone with a good temper, just nod and smile in response to greet them. But if you meet someone with a bad temper, they will just give you a cold stare.

Looking at Kong Seung-yeon and her manager, Ji Kyeong-won, bowing back and forth in the field, Chi Jingyuan felt a bit sentimental.

He has participated in many commercials shoots and also routinely greets all the staff with a bow during breaks and at the end of filming. This is a customary courtesy.

However, he didn't encounter many instances of staff members giving him the cold shoulder. Many people, even if they responded nonchalantly to him, wouldn't intentionally give him a hard time. His advertising case history, from his debut until now, has been relatively smooth.

It is also possible that his work ability has something to do with it.

Before, my manager, Lee Seunghwan, already told me that filming this smoothly doesn't happen every time, and only someone like Ji Changwook is like that. That's why working with Ji Changwook is always so easy for him.

This time, I encountered a different situation.

After glancing a few times at Kong Seung-yeon, who was constantly bowing to people, and her manager, Ji Kyungsun, he withdrew his gaze. He sat down in a chair, rubbing his temples, and closed his eyes to rest.

Today I am indeed a little tired. I woke up early to film and it's now midnight. Besides taking a quick nap in the car, I haven't had any rest time at all.

After a while, footsteps approached lightly. Chi Jingyuan opened his eyes and looked over, it was Kong Shengyan.

She clasped her hands together in front of her, stood with her legs close together, her face wasn't looking very good, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile and bowed to Chi Jingyuan: "Mi ah nei, because I..."

"Ani, I'm fine."

Ji Jingyuan stood up to interrupt the other person. His face, which had been expressionless from tiredness, immediately broke into a business smile and he comforted them: "Why don't you rest for a bit first I think Shengyan is pretty tired too."

Kongsengyan was startled, the smile she had forced onto her face weakened instantly. She glanced at Chi Jingyuan for a second before still politely bowing and thanking him: "Khonsammita."

Ji Jingyuan smiled in response, and the two didn't say much more. Kong Shengyan went on to greet a few other people before sitting down with her manager, resting in her chair. Her manager kept talking to her, her expression not looking very good.

Just like any rookie idol, they were not popular at first. Even EXO-K had to go through the same thing when they first appeared on shows. They weren't getting much attention and didn't receive much respect either.

After a short break, the director clapped his hands to signal the resumption of filming. Everyone cheered up and got back to work.

This kept going until the sky was just beginning to get light, and that's when it was finally finished.

This is the first time Qi Jingyuan has filmed an advertisement, and he feels so tired.

She has a certain relationship with Kong Shengyan, but it's not entirely her problem. Originally, there were quite a few pictorial shoots this time, which required changing many outfits and different styles.

The staff's work efficiency is also average. I don't know if it's because they are sleepy or something, anyway, they don't seem to have much energy.

After filming wrapped, Ji Jingyuan bid farewell to Park Na-yeon and everyone else before preparing to leave the studio.

Now drive straight to the filming location of "Reply 1997," and you can even take a quick nap in the car when you arrive.

As he was about to leave, Ji Jingyuan suddenly felt like someone was watching him. He turned his head and saw Kong Shengyan standing by the wall a few meters away, looking at him. His manager was nowhere to be seen.

When Ji Jingyuan noticed her, Kong Shengyan didn't dodge but walked over instead, smiling lightly and greeting him.

It was clear she was also tired, her smile not as bright as when she was serving earlier.

Chi Jingyuan also nodded in return, waiting with a questioning gaze for her to explain her intentions.

When Park Jae-hyun saw this, he immediately quickened his pace and left without stopping to listen.

"Well, thank you Jingyuan xi for your help and care." Kong Shengyan took a moment to gather her words before speaking.

"Ani, I'm just a newbie myself, how could I possibly take care of others..."

Chijingyuan smiled and shook his head: "Shengyan is truly very talented."

"Well... I heard Seqi mention you before..."

After a moment's hesitation, Kong Shengyan continued.

"Ginger"

"Inside, I was also a trainee at the company before. I'm quite close to Seqi." Kong Seung-yeon nodded.

Ji Jingyuan suddenly remembered why he felt familiar with the name Kong Shengyan. He probably heard it mentioned by Jiang Sheqi during a chat before.

"That's quite a coincidence, Seqi is also my relative."

Chi Jingyuan smiled and nodded, after having a mediator things looked more enthusiastic between the two. They stood there chatting for a few moments.

He didn't stay for long, and he still had to rush to the set. After looking at the time, Ji Jingyuan prepared to say goodbye.

Perhaps...

Seeing that Chi Jingyuan was preparing to leave, Kong Shengyan hesitated for a moment before speaking up: "Can we exchange contact information"

"That's it."

Chi Jingyuan nodded in agreement, smiling lightly at the other person, looking very happy. "It's my honor."

………………

Back at the film set, it wasn't fully dawn yet. Fortunately, Ji Jingyuan rested for a while in the car.

An idol's schedule is like that, the busier you are, the more popular you are.

Then came the filming time, and there were only two episodes left in the TV series.

The last two episodes, 15 and 16, were not aired together, but were split into a one-episode-per-week format to conclude this popular TV series.

At this time, there are many viewers online leaving messages, hoping that "Please Answer" won't end so soon and wishing for two more episodes. They want to continue watching the love story between Yunjae and Seowon, this childhood sweetheart couple.

This kind of expectation and support made the crew very happy and grateful, but unfortunately, it was too difficult to add scenes at the last minute.

The second-to-last episode will air officially on September 11th.
