Chapter 155: Goblin Script Reading

Early August.

The crew of "Bhunga" completed the filming of all the prison scenes in one month.

Taking advantage of the change in filming location, Kim Ki-hyun asked the director for a day off to shoot the cover of Kim Gu for the fashion magazine "GQ Korea".

The cover shoot for the golden September issue of fashion magazines is similar to that for the anniversary issue, and each magazine will invite its “top stars” to take the photos.

In other countries, there may be a big-name artist or supermodel who appears on the covers of two or three fashion magazines every month.

But this does not exist on the peninsula.

Jin Qixuan is very lucky.

Since her debut, she has been favored and cared for by GQ magazine's editor-in-chief Chi. She has collaborated with GQ magazine for four times so far, and the sales volume of each issue is not low, among which the sales volume of the March 16 issue is the most explosive.

It was also within Jin Qixuan's expectations that he was invited to shoot the GQ Golden September cover.

However, among the five top fashion magazines in the Peninsula, only GQ invited Jin Qixuan.

It is normal that the three major women's magazines did not invite Jin Qixuan to the ninth issue.

The requirements for transgender people to shoot for women's magazines are very high. Either the top luxury brand will make exclusive high-end clothing for the artist or specifically sponsor a magazine to shoot for him.

Or this man can handle two-way trendy items.

It is obvious that Jin Qixuan has neither the reputation of a top luxury brand nor the ability to control transgender fashion.

Of course, this also has something to do with Jin Qixuan’s own tough image.

Even when filming a movie about homosexuality, Jin Qixuan wants to be the aggressor.

However, Jin Qixuan can't control it, but there are people who can.

This issue of "Vogue Korea" magazine invited GD, the artist with the best fashion resources in the peninsula, to shoot the cover of Kim Gu.

Speaking of which, before Jin Qixuan made his debut, GD could be said to have been on these two first-tier men's magazines, including the three major women's magazines, as if they were going to its own backyard, and they really just went on them casually.

Since his debut in 06, he has led the group to achieve one brilliant achievement after another and the group has remained popular to this day.

Although Bigbang’s albums in China are currently being beaten by EXO in terms of both sound sources and sales, GD’s fans are no longer limited to the small area of ​​the peninsula.

Therefore, after he went international, many international brands extended olive branches to him.

The LV brand, sensing K-pop's international appeal, sent a direct airdrop to Yang Juhua.

Invested 1000 billion won in YG Entertainment and invited GD to become the first LV brand ambassador of the Peninsula.

And GD’s fans are really awesome.

In just one year, LV product sales on the Peninsula increased by 136% compared to before.

Therefore, GD's fashion resources are unique on this peninsula.

Jin Qixuan is currently in the process of accepting endorsements for local trendy brands.
However, although GD is now in great glory and has the most fashion resources in the Peninsula, he will be enlisted in the army soon.

When he comes out, he will find that the world has changed...

The photo shoot for the fashion magazine Jinjiu does not have any theme, it is simply to showcase the new products or hot styles of each top luxury brand.

To put it bluntly, top luxury brands also need to see whether the models in the current issue of the magazine can clearly express the characteristics of their products.

Take Bae Suzy for example, she is currently ranked third in fashion resources among female artists born in the 90s.

But in every issue of fashion magazine she shot, her neck and wrists were empty.

Doesn't she want to wear it?

There is absolutely no top-notch jewelry sponsorship.

On the other hand, the accessories that Kong Xiaozhen wore when she was photographed for a first-line fashion magazine were so dazzling...

The brand sponsoring Jin Qixuan this time is also an old collaboration.

Gucci new clothing + Bulgari octo watch.

Since the main purpose is to showcase the product concept, there is no need to go to various locations to shoot. Just set up the backdrop in the studio in the GQ building.

The shooting process is not complicated. It is all static shooting of facial expressions and concave shapes, with the main focus on post-production editing...

The shooting process will also be recorded by GQ and edited into shooting highlights and included in the September e-issue.

Although the content was not complicated, it still took a day to complete.

The day after tomorrow.

After finishing filming for the drama "Bhunhaji" in the morning, Kim Ki-hyun took half a day off in the afternoon and rushed to TVN to attend the script reading session for "Goblin".

In fact, according to Jin Qixuan's previous habit, he would usually arrive more than half an hour in advance.

But as his schedule becomes increasingly busy, especially when he needs to take time off to attend another event, he is lucky to be able to arrive on time.

Fortunately, he was lucky today and there was no traffic jam, so Jin Qixuan arrived five minutes early.

What was quite coincidental was that when Jin Qixuan just got off the car, he met Liu Renna who arrived at the same time.

Although the two parties had never met formally, thanks to the influence of middleman Lee Ji-eun, their first meeting was still very cordial.

Therefore, Liu Renna stopped, stretched out her hand to Jin Qixuan with a smile, and said hello:
"Hello, Jin Qixuanxi~"

If a pretty person of the opposite sex greets you in such a coquettish voice (except Taiwanese), a normal male (except Taiwanese) will have some thoughts in his mind.

But Jin Qixuan didn't have that idea.

It was not because he was influenced by the homosexual-themed movie that was being filmed, but because Jin Qixuan knew that this sister's coquettish voice was natural and not something she deliberately put on.

When Jin Qixuan was recommended by Jin Shaoya, he was captivated by her gentle and slightly magnetic voice the first time he listened to her radio program.

Therefore, Kim Ki-hyeon, who has become a fan of Liu Inna, will listen to her DJ radio program whenever he has time to learn about current hot topics and avoid falling behind in real time.

"Good afternoon, senior!"

Jin Qixuan quickly stretched out his hands and shook the hand she extended to him.

Seeing this, Liu Renna was stunned.

For a moment I couldn't figure out whether he was a gentleman who paid attention to etiquette or he had mysophobia.

Seeing Liu Renna's reaction, Jin Qixuan showed his hands and jokingly explained:

"Senior, my hands are not very clean after I just "killed" someone."

Staring at the yellow calluses on Jin Qixuan's palms, Liu Inna suddenly felt dirty.

Will these calluses on my hands really feel comfortable?

Because Kim Ki-hyeon was annoyed by the scorching sun, he didn't notice Liu Inna's strange look.

Jin Qixuan pointed at the scorching sun, then pointed at the TVN building and said:
"Senior, let's go in first. The sun is too strong..."

Because he was wearing out-of-season clothes, beads of sweat had already appeared on Jin Qixuan's forehead in just the time it took him to say these two sentences.

Seeing this, Liu Renna realized it belatedly and said:
"Ah! Let's go!"

When the two of them walked into the TVN building, the cold air from the air conditioner made Jin Qixuan groan unconsciously.

Seeing Jin Qixuan's comfortable "ah", out of curiosity, Liu Renna asked doubtfully:
"If you are so afraid of heat, why do you wear so many clothes? Is it because you want to be more sophisticated?" "That's not the case. I just came from the set. After reading the script, I have to rush back to shoot. I find it troublesome to change clothes back and forth. After all, there are air conditioners in the car and the building."

"The film set?? Ah!!! So you were talking about the "murder" during filming!"

Seeing Liu Renna's sudden reaction, Jin Qixuan was stunned and asked in surprise:
"What else? I can actually kill someone!"

"I thought you, emm..."

Liu Renna, who couldn't figure out how to explain this sentence, changed the subject very abruptly and said:

"Don't call me senior, just call me sister like Jieun, and I won't use honorifics with you anymore~"

Jin Qixuan nodded:
"Okay, Inna."

While entering the elevator, Liu Inna lightly slapped herself in the blind spot of Jin Qixuan's vision.

"12th floor, thank you."

After reporting the floor location, the two did not communicate any more in the elevator.

"Ding!"

Arriving at the 12th floor, the two walked out of the elevator and came to the meeting room of the "Goblin" crew.

As soon as I entered the door, I bowed and greeted the staff as usual.

Then, Jin Qixuan pulled out a chair from the table and asked Liu Inna to sit down.

"Thank you~"

Seeing this, Liu Renna smiled sweetly and praised:
"He's quite a gentleman~ He doesn't quite match the image Jieun described. It seems like you can only understand people by interacting with them yourself."

After Jin Qixuan sat down, he asked curiously, "Oh? What did she say about me?"

"She said forget it, you should ask her yourself."

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan knew that when Liu Renna heard Li Zhien talk about herself, she was definitely not the image of the dream of 900 million girls.
After a while, three actors, Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, and Kim Go Eun, entered the venue one after another.

Then Jin Qixuan stood up three times in a row and bowed to his seniors to greet them.

Perhaps because of the attraction between the same sex, the two male actors gave Jin Qixuan a very bland response.

However, the heroine Kim Go-eun took the initiative to greet Kim Ki-hyeon with a smile.

The reason why she took the initiative to say hello was partly because of Kim Ki-hyun's outstanding appearance, but more importantly, they both had a common friend - Park Bo Gum.

Therefore, Jin Qixuan naturally greeted him with a smile.

Following Gao Jinyin came the director and screenwriter.

"Screenwriter nim."

"Director nim."

Everyone stood up and greeted him.

After everyone was seated, Director Lee Eung-bok said:

"Everyone, let's say hello first, and then we'll start reading the script."

"Everyone should be familiar with me. But in fact, this is the first time I write a fantasy script, and I am not sure what the response will be. But even though I am very nervous, the thought of completing this drama with everyone gives me great confidence. Although I have only written four episodes so far, I will try my best to finish the script as soon as possible."

"clap clap"

After screenwriter Kim Eun-sook finished speaking, everyone gave a warm round of applause, and then Gong Yoo started:
"Hello everyone, I'm Gong Yoo who plays the role of Goblin, nice to meet you all. This is also my first time acting in a fantasy genre, (scratching his head nervously) but I will do my best to complete it well."

"Hello everyone, I am Kim Go-eun who plays Eun-do. (shyly) I will work hard!"

"Hello everyone, I am Liu Renna who plays Sunny. (Bows with her hands covering her chest and smiles sweetly) It is my honor to be able to act with you all. I will do my best."

"Hello everyone, I am Lee Dong Wook who plays the underworld messenger with amnesia. I will do my best, thank you."

Lee Dong Wook doesn't like the feeling of being stared at by everyone, so he spoke very quickly when introducing himself. The words seemed to be hot and he finished in less than three seconds.

On the other hand, Jin Qixuan was neither humble nor overbearing, and had the demeanor of a great general. He stood up and introduced himself loudly:

"Hello everyone, I am Kim Ki-Hyun who plays Yoo Deok-Hwa. I am honored to be able to co-star with four charming seniors in the new work of screenwriter Kim. As the youngest member of the group, I will do my best to play the role well. Please take care of me in the future, thank you very much!"

After everyone finished introducing themselves, the script reading officially began.

"The people called him a god. He fought bravely and overcame all obstacles like a god of war."

Although everyone was a little reserved because it was the first meeting, the atmosphere gradually became cheerful because of the funny parts of the script.

However, when reading the script later, Kim Ki-hyeon got to see Kim Go-eun, who smiled in private and looked as harmless as a Shiba Inu. Her aura was really strong when she was serious in her performance.

She cries when she says she wants to cry and laughs when she says she wants to laugh. Her expression and tone of voice change very quickly, and it is really hard for most people to keep up.

Therefore, it was not unfair for Lee Hye-ri to lose the Best New Actress Award in the TV Department at the Baeksang Awards.

Even Jin Qixuan couldn't say that he could match her in acting skills.

During the script reading, the plot that contributed the most laughter was the love-hate relationship between the ghosts and the underworld messengers.

In fact, the script was not written in such detail. Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook just improvised and acted out the CP feeling by reading the lines.
Although Jin Qixuan doesn't have many lines, it is not easy for him to switch roles in an instant.

For example, in the previous sentence, she was smiling and begging Gong Yoo for a credit card, but in the next sentence, her expression was cold, like an emotionless AI, giving Kim Go-eun life advice in a cold and calm tone.

Five hours later, as Kim Go-eun said the last sentence on the script "Sarangheyo~" to Gong Yoo with a sweet smile, the script reading session of "Goblin" officially ended.

"Although I still want to continue listening, the screenwriter has not yet written the script. Thank you for your hard work!"

After saying this, the director was the first to applaud.

"clap clap"

Then, everyone applauded.

Afterwards, all the actors and staff took a group photo together.

After the cameraman called out "3.2.1", everyone shouted in unison: "Go Ghost, come on!"

"Crack!"

The flash lights up and the photo is taken.

The following is an interview to record several actors’ feelings about this script reading.

"Hello everyone, I am Kim Ki-hyun who plays the role of the third generation of a chaebol. The script reading for Goblin has now ended. I was a little nervous at first to be with so many great seniors. Although it was a bit hard, the atmosphere throughout the process was very good. As expected of screenwriter Kim Eun-sook, I feel that a very interesting TV series will be born, and I am looking forward to it. I will prepare seriously, and I hope that the audience will support me!"

After saying that, Jin Qixuan bowed to the camera.

After the other four people finished their interviews and recordings one by one, the script reading session officially ended.

The filming start time of Goblin was also set at the end of the filming, which will be in late August or early September.

The normal process is that there will be a dinner after the script reading session, mainly to allow the actors to quickly get to know each other and avoid a sense of unfamiliarity.

After all, only when the actors are familiar with each other can they create different sparks during filming.

However, since Jin Qixuan had to rush back to the crew to film, he unfortunately missed this very interesting dinner.
