Chapter 216: Do Bong-soon starts filming

The New Year holiday passes by in a flash.

During these three days, Jin Qixuan did not feel the comfort of vacation at all. Instead, he felt more tired than usual.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the last day of January.

The crew of "Strong Woman Do Bong-soon" held a ceremony to thank the gods for the start of filming at the Shigama Tower in Dobong-dong.

It was exactly the same as the opening ceremony that Jin Qixuan had participated in before. There was an incense burner on a table, a pig's head in front of the incense burner, and fruits all around it.

After completing the process of burning incense and worshipping the pig head, stuffing banknotes into the pig head's mouth to pray for blessings, and being interviewed by reporters, the filming officially began.

The first scene was a gang member bullying a school bus driver. The heroine passed by on a bicycle and wanted to call the police but was stopped and bullied, and then they were all beaten into the hospital.

The male protagonist watched everything silently from the side.

The focus of this scene is on the exaggerated reactions of the actors playing gang members after being beaten, in order to highlight the "superpower" of the heroine.

The background story is that the heroine Do Bong-soon will suddenly disappear and her body will develop strange diseases if she uses her "divine power" to do evil or gain illegal money.

But if it's a defensive counterattack, it's fine.

Therefore, the first five shots showed Park Bo Young being pointed at and slapped by gangster Kim Won Hae.

During the filming of this scene, actor Kim Won Hae, who played the gangster, was reluctant to slap the cute Park Bo Young, and he just slapped her gently each time and felt very embarrassed.

This also resulted in more than ten cuts being made in a row because there was no real sense of impact.

Later, in order to prevent more slaps, Park Bo Young said bluntly:
"Why don't you just give me a quick and easy one."

"Ah... this is not good..."

Jin Yuanhai on the opposite side said hesitantly.

"It's okay, just come on!"

Soon, after the communication was completed, the scene was re-shot.

"Snapped!"

There was a loud and crisp slapping sound, which made Jin Qixuan smack his lips in amazement.

"Cut! Cut!"

The director didn't deliberately make things difficult for anyone. Once he got the scene he wanted, it would pass naturally.

Hearing the shouting, Kim Won Hae, who had hit Park Bo Young, raised his hand guiltily and asked the director if there were no more scenes of hitting Park Bo Young.

"No more. What's left is the scene where you get beaten."

Then the scene was reversed, Park Bo-young slapped Kim Won-hae in the face, and then apologized guiltily...

The entire morning was spent filming this scene.

At noon, three support vehicles drove into the filming location.

The first support car to arrive was sent by Lee Ji-eun, and the ones after that were sent by Han Hyo-joo and Lee Hye-ri.

The three girls knew Jin Qixuan very well, and specifically asked him to make two sandwiches with very clean ingredients (no sauce version) for him.

There are many drinks, such as coffee, milk tea, oolong tea, etc. Because of the weather, all drinks are hot.

While the filming was still going on there, Sheng Bingxu took photos of Jin Qixuan and the three support cars in turn.

After posing for a few times, Jin Qixuan stepped forward to look at the photo, and then instructed:
"Brother, when you post on IG, put the photo of IU's support car in the middle."

Sheng Bingxu hesitated and said:
"Isn't this a bit... too deliberate? People might associate it with you, after all, you just performed a stage play together."

"But... she's a bit possessive (small-minded). If I don't put it in the middle, she'll be speaking to me in a sarcastic tone for some time to come."

"Besides, considering that we appear in the same frame once a year, it's unlikely that anyone would associate us with each other, right?"

Before Jin Qixuan and others could finish speaking, six support vehicles drove into the filming location.

Without exception, they were all given to Jin Qixuan by people he visited during the three-day New Year holiday.

There are screenwriters Kim Eun-sook and Park Ji-eun, as well as Sol Kyung-gu, Gong Yoo, Lee Dong-wook, and Jo In-sung.

Because the TV station where Kim Ki-hyun films is a competitor of tVN, director Shin Won-ho did not send a support car.

However, he sent Jin Qixuan an electronic version of the support car on KakaoTalk, and attached a funny gif of Jin Qixuan's portrait with a stick figure underneath...

The staff at the scene were shocked to see the nine neatly arranged support vehicles.

Wow, it includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and midnight snack.

This really saves money for the crew.

But it's still nice to have a hot drink on a cold day.

When serving food and drinks, the staff did not forget to thank Jin Qixuan and praised him for his good relationships.

But when it comes to popularity, it's all mutual.

They had only worked together for four or five months at most. If Jin Qixuan didn't maintain the relationship, no matter how good their relationship was at the time, they would gradually become distant.

"Brother, this time we have to post a nine-square grid, and the photo of IU's cheering car should be placed in the 5th position."

Jin Qixuan posed in front of the car and gave instructions.

Sheng Bingxu responded expressionlessly, and silently took a photo of Jin Qixuan with the Samsung S8 trial phone which had not yet been launched.

In order to highlight IU's uniqueness, Kim Ki-hyun deliberately posed handsomely in the photo with the support car sent by IU.

The photos of the other positions 1 to 9 all show a smiling face with both hands pointing in the direction of position 5.

In this way, the effect of the moon surrounded by stars is created.

There was nothing wrong with student Li.

as predicted.

After this set of photos was posted on IG, Lee Ji-eun immediately sent a heart emoticon to Kim Ki-hyeon on KakaoTalk.

And because Jin Qixuan has been working as frequently as a diligent gardener recently, he started filming a new drama right after the filming of Goblin was completed, made his first appearance on the big screen, and even performed in a stage play on New Year's Eve.

In addition, there are pre-sales of the three magazine covers shot by Jin Qixuan at the beginning of the year and seasonal photos of the various endorsement products.

So, when fans saw Jin Qixuan posting new business updates, they were very happy.

[Isn’t this business status a model of hard work? Please learn from Park Bo Gum! ]

[We are open since the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Thank you Xuanxuan for your hard work! ]

【Our Xuanxuan praises!!!】

[Another new drama! Great!!!]

[What is the name of the new drama? Has anyone revealed it? Is it a sweet drama with Han Hyo Joo? ]

[Same question! I hope it’s a sweet drama with Han Hyo Joo!!!]

[I watched "Brave Citizens" for the third time. I love their looks. I really hope they can act in a sweet drama again! ]

[Look carefully above, how can someone send a support car to a drama set? It's definitely not Han Hyo Joo! ]

[Speaking of this background... it's very close to my home. I have nothing to do during the holidays. Are there any sisters who would like to go and have a look in a group? ]

【Me, me, me!!!】

……

After the break, we started shooting the scenes of Jin Qixuan’s appearance in the afternoon.

First, Kim Ki-hyeon was driving by and saw gangsters bullying Park Bo-young.

He cursed a few words in the car and wanted to get out to stop it, but after taking two steps he hesitated and finally went back to the car and called the police.

While Jin Qixuan was making a phone call here, a fight started over there.

Seeing a gangster being thrown into the sky, Jin Qixuan was stunned. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, trying to confirm whether he was seeing things.

Then we saw Park Bo Young apologizing in a soft baby voice while beating someone ruthlessly.

At this moment, Jin Qixuan's big eyes were filled with confusion about the unknown world, and he covered his mouth in panic and helplessness.

"Hello? Hello? Is it confirmed that a woman was bullied by gang members in xxx Street, Dobong-dong?"

"what……"

Hearing the police's question on the phone, Jin Qixuan came back to his senses and murmured in a low voice:

"Maybe... what we need now is an ambulance..." "Cut! Over!"

Jin Qixuan had relatively few parts in this scene, so it was completed smoothly in one take.

Later, additional shots were taken of the gang members groaning, Park Bo-young's famous turn around and close-ups of her catwalk.

Then, everyone moved to the police station for filming.

Ko Kyung-pyo, who plays the second male lead, police officer Guk-doo, appears on the stage.

To summarize the plot in the police station, the heroine has a crush on Guodou, but she heard that Guodou likes weak girls, so she has been hiding her supernatural powers.

As Guodou's high school classmate, he simply couldn't believe that this weak girl whom he had known for many years could do such a thing as 1V8 to wipe out all the strong men.

But faced with the honest words of the children in the school bus who witnessed everything, and the accusations of the gang members who were beaten and seriously injured, the heroine had no answer for a while.

Jin Qixuan, who played the male lead, saw her embarrassment and took the initiative to help her out.

Since this was a group scene and there were uncontrollable factors involving these children, this originally simple plot took a full four hours to shoot.

By the time this scene was over, it was already dark.

Then, all we have to do is finish shooting the final conversation scene between the male and female protagonists outside the police station, and we can go home.

“1…2…3…go!”

Secretary Kong came to pick up Jin Qixuan. The two walked out of the police station. Secretary Kong asked him with a puzzled look why he appeared in the police station.

"Ah... I've never seen anything like this before. Don't you know that little woman punched the strong man opposite her with a bang and he flew away in a flash..."

Jin Qixuan was gesticulating and telling Secretary Kong what he had seen and heard.

At this time, Park Bo-young walked out of the police station dejectedly.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan paused and called her, "Hey."

Park Bo-young paused, turned around and glared at Kim Ki-hyeon.

After this exchange of glances, the arrogant Jin Qixuan recalled her achievements and visibly became intimidated. He avoided the gaze and said awkwardly:
"Ahem...shouldn't you...say thank you?"

"Why did you lie in front of the police?"

"Huh? You were almost arrested for a violent crime, and I helped you. You don't say thank you or sorry, what does that mean?"

"Who asked you to stop it for me?"

As she spoke, Park Bo-young slowly walked towards Kim Ki-hyeon, and Secretary Kong next to Kim Ki-hyeon also obediently stretched out his hand to stop her from getting too close.

"As a man, you should act like a man. You were watching when the woman made her move."

"I really don't know how a man like you can be so shameless."

After saying that, Park Bo Young snorted proudly and turned away.

Jin Qixuan frowned as he watched her leave and said:

"What's wrong with this woman..."

Secretary Kong also looked at Park Bo Young's back and chuckled:
“It’s a little special.”

Jin Qixuan tilted his head:

"Secretary Kong, don't you think she's sexy?"

Hearing this, Secretary Kong looked at Jin Qixuan puzzledly:
"What? Sexy? She...? The little one???"

"Cut! Pass! End of filming for today!"

"Wow~"

Seeing this, all the staff applauded and cheered.

It is very rare to see a crew leaving get off work on time in the Peninsula.

Before Kim Kye-hyun could thank the staff for their hard work, the director asked Kim Kye-hyun and Park Bo-young to record some behind-the-scenes footage.

This behind-the-scenes footage is an interview, describing the feelings during the initial shoot.

"Hello everyone, I am Kim Ki-Hyun who plays Ahn Min-Hyuk in Do Bong-soon."

"Hello everyone, I am Park Bo Young who plays Do Bong Soon in Do Bong Soon."

Then, the two of them said "Wow" and applauded.

"First of all, I feel very happy to be able to film with such an excellent crew. I am also happy and honored to work with Sister Baoying for the first time. Filming with Sister Baoying is really worry-free. I just need to do my best."

After Kim Ki-hyun finished praising her, Park Bo-young smiled and said:

"That's not the case. Actually, I felt very comfortable with Qixuan since the reading session. We relaxed during the filming and we had a great chemistry. It's a good feeling, right?"

After saying that, Park Bo Young raised her little face and asked Kim Ki Heon.

Jin Qixuan turned his head and looked at her, and they both laughed out loud at the same time.

After recording a few more promotional messages asking everyone to look forward to the TV series, today's work officially ended.

After expressing his gratitude to the staff, Jin Qixuan set out on his journey home.

On the way, I bought Lee Ji-eun the chocolate mousse she specifically requested from a bakery in Myeongdong.

Speaking of which, Kim Ki-hyeon also discovered another characteristic of Lee Ji-eun - she's a homebody.

Except for the nighttime date in the safe passage, Lee Ji-eun did not go anywhere during the four-day holiday and just stayed at home.

When Jin Qixuan learned about this incident, he asked her in surprise if she felt bored.

As a result, Lee Ji-eun proudly stated that she is very good at staying in one place for 6-7 hours without moving, and is also good at daydreaming, and even... she is very good at sleeping.

Jin Qixuan was speechless:
"Is this something to be proud of?"

"Of course! I once slept for 16 hours!"

"..."

Li Zhien asked while eating chocolate mousse:

“Anything interesting to shoot today?”

"There was nothing interesting in the filming, but what was more interesting was the shocked expressions on the staff's faces when the nine cheering cars entered the venue."

“Ah! Speaking of the cheering car, your set of photos is really nice~”

This set of photos really touched Lee Ji-eun's heart and perfectly highlighted her importance in Kim Ki-hyeon's heart.

Li Zhien, who was happy, handed the chocolate mousse to Jin Qixuan's mouth with a smile.

"By the way, when will your family leave?"

Jin Qixuan silently stopped her action and changed the subject.

Lee Ji-eun was not annoyed that Kim Ki-hyun refused to be fed, and she just ate the dessert that stimulated dopamine secretion.

Speaking of which, the fact that she was willing to share her sweets with Jin Qixuan shows that Jin Qixuan means a lot to her.

"They will go back tomorrow, and I will go to work tomorrow too."

"Oh, by the way, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Yeah, tell me."

Afterwards, Jin Qixuan told her about his investment in the movie a few days ago.

However, before Jin Qixuan began to analyze the market and paint a rosy picture for her, Li Zhien nodded casually and said, "Okay."

"Tsk..."

It feels like a salesman at a 4S store waiting for the buyer to bargain, and preparing a series of tricks, but in the end the other party doesn't give him any room to maneuver and directly pays the full amount for the car.

"Why don't you even ask how much money you invested? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"I support you and I believe in you."

At this time, saying one more word would be disrespectful to the atmosphere!
Just kiss and it’s over!

Then, Jin Qixuan held her face and started biting it.

Hmm…today it’s chocolate flavored Jieun.
