……

With the heated discussions online, the entire crew received huge traffic attention.

Seeing this, many media outlets sent reporters to the filming location to take a few photos to gain some popularity.

There was even a D agency reporter who had been following Kim Jong Kook for half a year without any results and started following Kim Ki-hyun instead.

D agency followed Kim Jong Kook purely because Cha Tae Hyun reportedly had an illegitimate daughter a while ago, which led D agency to believe it and followed him for half a year.

It turns out that his life outside of work is completely revolving around two points: the gym and home.

Once, D agency followed him and filmed him frequently entering and leaving an apartment in Jiangdong District.

Before he had time to report the good news to the headquarters, he saw Jin Qixuan coming out with him...

The fact that D agency chose to shoot Jin Qixuan seems a bit out of spite.

There were gossips about Kim Jong Kook, and half a year of manpower and resources were wasted but nothing was done!

So, you, the Jin family, must expose one to me!
Of course, in addition to the factor of Kim Jong Kook, Kim Ki-hyun himself has a relatively high traffic.

After all, for a man whose advertising pictures can even become a hot topic, it would be a shame not to follow him and take pictures with him!
Jin Qixuan, who was filming in the crew, had no idea of ​​the undercurrents outside. At the moment, he was filming a fitness segment.

In the plot, the male protagonist has been attacked by unknown people and asked to give up his identity as the heir to the group.

The hero is no wimp, but as there is no clue to be found, he has to endure it silently and keeps training secretly, hoping to catch the mastermind one day.

It was originally just a simple shot of a few sandbag hitting movements, with the hair wet with water to show that he had trained for a long time, which laid the foundation for teaching the heroine how to box later.

But...the director understands what female audiences want to see.

Not only did they lengthen the shooting footage, but Jin Qixuan was also required to train shirtless.

Then, when Jin Qixuan took off his shirt, there was a burst of "Wow" at the scene.

None of the female staff members in the venue could take their eyes off Jin Qixuan's body for even a second.

Although they wanted to use their mobile phones to film, the director did not allow them.

So under the gaze of a group of female staff members who were watching him while working, Jin Qixuan actually worked out for an hour on the set.

Due to the tight schedule, Jin Qixuan didn't have time to take a shower. He just wiped the sweat off his face with a towel and put on his clothes before leaving.

The plot segment filmed in the morning was Do Bong-soon's entrance exam. The first test was arm wrestling with the male lead, and the second test was cockfighting with Secretary Kong. Secretary Kong took advantage of her and she disappeared for four episodes.

Before filming the arm wrestling scene, Kim Ki-hyeon invited Park Bo-young to squat in front of the coffee table to rehearse.

"Ready... to start!"

Park Bo-young had just finished speaking with a smile when she was instantly defeated by Kim Ki-hyeon.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan said slowly in a very humble tone:
"Even Du Bong-soon can't do that~"

"Come again!"

Park Bo Young stared in dissatisfaction.

"Don't say I'm bullying you, use both hands."

Hearing this, Park Baoying grabbed Jin Qixuan's hands with both hands, squinted her eyes, and said seriously:

"Prepare……"

"start!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Park Bo-young's eyes suddenly widened, and she jumped up and pressed down with her body.

But... he was still defeated by Jin Qixuan in seconds.

"Oh, it's so fancy."

Park Bo Young ignored Kim Ki Heon's ridicule and raised her hand to the director with a frown on her face.

"Director nim! Jin Qixuan doesn't act according to the script!!!"

"Hahaha……"

Seeing this, all the staff laughed kindly.

Yes, even the female staff were touched by Park Bo Young’s cuteness.

After the little joke, the official shooting began.

The result of this arm wrestling match is no surprise. The key point is that Jin Qixuan has to act like a coward and aggrieved person after being defeated by the heroine.

"Oh!"

With a crisp sound, Kim Ki-hyeon's fist was knocked hard on the coffee table by Park Bo-young.

Then, Kim Ki-hyeon stood up with his lips pursed, and slowly squatted down with his back to Park Bo-young, covering his hands and making a sobbing sound.

"Puff... cough... Oh Mo, oh Mo, represent nim! Are you okay?"

Park Bo-young followed behind Kim Ki-hyeon and said in a pretentious manner.

"Do you think I'm fine?"

"Cut! Pass!"

After this segment, the actor who played Secretary Kong entered the stage.

This guy has some comedic talent.

It was full of laughs when he was posing like a cockfighting cock, not to mention he jerked his legs a couple of times.

Kim Ki-hyun and Park Bo-young, who were watching from the sofa, laughed so hard that they fell backwards.

And in the later scene where he was "pushed" away, he wailed in pain like a baby with his throat squeezed, which made Kim Kye-hyun and Park Bo-young laugh.

The key point is that no one could have imagined that this 1-meter-tall burly man could make such a strange sound.

Even Li Donghui, who never laughs, couldn't hold it in.

Not only Kim Ki-hyun and Park Bo-young, but even the director was amused.

After finishing filming the office scenes in the morning, we switched to filming the shopping mall and remote control flying scenes in the afternoon.

The clothing store where I bought clothes in the mall is a brand endorsed by Jin Qixuan.

Upon seeing the real person, the female clerk was so excited that she went crazy.

"Jin Qixuan!? Wow! It's really Jin Qixuan!!! OMG!! Jin Qixuan!!!"

"..."

Jin Qixuan hurriedly calmed her down, fearing that she would faint from excitement.

"Sorry, sorry, I was too excited just now because this is so dreamy. I really like you! I will buy the paper and electronic versions of every issue of your magazine!"

Jin Qixuan took the pen she handed over and signed with a smile, saying as he wrote:

"Thank you for your support. But you should also watch the TV series and movies I act in."

"Yes, yes! Aze acted so handsomely!"

Jin Qixuan paused and looked up at her:
"Thank you, but I'm playing...Sunwoo."

Damn, I met a fake fan!
A few days ago, Sheng Bingxu said that he would organize a fan meeting for Jin Qixuan.

When a bunch of "Aze is so handsome" come in, Jin Qixuan will probably be so angry that he will turn into a blurry shadow.

"Ah...hahaha, sorry, sorry..."

Jin Qixuan didn't get angry with her. A fan of her looks is still a fan. What else can he do but spoil her!
Afterwards, Jin Qixuan handed the signed notebook to her.

"Can we take a photo?"

Jin Qixuan asked subconsciously:

"What's your phone?"

"Three stars."

"That's no problem, okay."

After taking the group photo, she was satisfied and stopped disturbing Jin Qixuan from taking photos.

However, when she posted the photo on SNS, she quickly attracted a group of sour people asking for the address of the mall. It is not difficult to shoot a scene of buying clothes, and it can be done in one go.

Kim Ki-hyeon plays the second-generation chaebol who doesn't even try on the clothes he buys. He just picks them up and throws them at his follower Park Bo-young, portraying his extravagance to the fullest.

Walking out of the clothing store.

Jin Qixuan turned around and looked at Park Baoying who was carrying a lot of bags with a bitter face, and said with a smile:
"Since you've been carrying it for me for so long, I'll buy you something as well. It's considered a new employee benefit."

Park Bo Young's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Ah."

Then, Jin Qixuan led her to the ice cream stand and handed her an ice cream cone.

"..."

Although Park Bo Young didn't say anything, her expression showed that she was cursing very dirty.

"Cut! Pass!"

The crew was packing up props and preparing to move on to the next scene when they were suddenly blocked by Jin Qixuan's fans who had heard the news.

"Wow!!!"

"Jin Qixuan!!!"

"Oppa!!!"

"..."

Faced with the noisy scene, Jin Qixuan quickly bowed to express his gratitude and apology:
"Thank you very much for your support, but I have to take photos here, so I can't take photos with you and sign autographs. Please understand."

There's no way. If we hold a small fan meeting here, we won't have to shoot today.

"It's okay, I'm glad to see you here!"

"come on!!"

"Oppa I love you!!!"

……

After the filming of the plot mission that day was completed, the director called Jin Qixuan and asked:

"The lyrics and music for the OST are ready, do you want to sing it?"

"Do not want to."

"what?"

Director Li Hengmin was stunned by Jin Qixuan's decisive answer.

"Leave professional matters to professionals, and I'll just play my role well."

"But I heard you sing well."

Jin Qixuan was stunned: "Where did you hear that?"

"Something?"

Jin Qixuan: “…”

This is too much!

"Haha, I'm just kidding. I've heard you sing 'Lovely' before. It's pretty good."

"what!"

Jin Qixuan suddenly realized.

I sang that song when I performed at a girls' school in 1988 after completing the ratings convention.

The song was rejuvenated at the time and ranked sixth on the Melon daily chart.

As for singing skills, I have a good foundation. Before high school, I learned music from my mother and Kim Jong Kook.

Therefore, Jin Qixuan doesn't need to develop his talent deliberately, the songs he sings are very nice.

But this nice-sounding means not unpleasant-sounding.

When it comes to OSTs that involve singing skills, Jin Qixuan is not good enough.

"It's okay, just sing it. If it doesn't work, I'll fix the sound for you later."

Let the main character sing, create a chain effect and stimulate the sales of the OST.

Just like when Park Bo Gum sang the OST for the movie "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds", it topped the Melon charts and sales soared.

"That's fine."

Having said that, Jin Qixuan didn't refuse.

After receiving the accompaniment and singing of the song on his mobile phone, Kim Ki-hyeon went to find Kim Jong-kook for a intensive training.

"Uncle, I want to sing the OST of a new drama, can you help me?"

"Row."

Kim Jong Kook listened to it twice and then asked Kim Ki Heon to sing it once.

Jin Qixuan nodded, looked at the lyrics and began to sing.

After singing just four lines, Kim Ki-hyun was stopped by Kim Jong-kook.

"This is a sweet little song. You don't express any emotions in just one line like this! Let your vocal cords and breath control the yin and yang, the strength and weakness of the song. This is called emotion."

As he spoke, Kim Jong Kook took the lyrics and picked up a pen to write and draw.

Then, he handed it to Jin Qixuan and said:
"The sound of the circled characters should be sung more heavily, and the vocal cords should be closed; the sound of the line characters should be sung with more air."

"There are also points for emphasis, falsetto, transitions, and vibrato. I have written them all down for you. Sing accordingly."

As if he was afraid that his drawing was too messy and Kim Ki-hyun couldn't understand it, Kim Jong-kook broke it down one sentence at a time and taught Kim Ki-hyun to sing.

This is not a crash course, this is like feeding someone with food already in their mouths...

But you know what, Kim Jong Kook's triple crown is indeed valuable.

In just 20 minutes, Jin Qixuan's singing improved immediately.

"Okay, go back and practice more."

"Okay~ Bye uncle!"

Although there was an improvement, Jin Qixuan did not directly approach the director to discuss recording.

After practicing for four days, only after Kim Jong Kook and Lee Ji Eun both gave 90 points did Kim Ki-Hyun ask the director to record.

The interlude song "Seems to Be in Love" sung by Jin Qixuan is Part 6 and plays in the latter part of the plot, which is the stage when the male and female protagonists are attracted to each other.

Following the guidance of the crew members, Jin Qixuan entered the recording studio.

Someone was recording in the recording studio at this time. In order not to affect the work of the recording engineer, Jin Qixuan simply said hello and sat quietly on the sofa waiting.

Although he didn't know how much the equipment in this recording studio cost, Jin Qixuan knew at a glance that it was definitely not as good as the equipment in Lee Ji-eun's recording studio.

When Jin Qixuan's eyes moved from the equipment to the glass of the recording studio, he saw the woman he had met once at tVN's 10th Anniversary Awards Ceremony - Zheng Endi.

She is currently recording Part 1 of Jin Qixuan's drama - "The Courtyard Called Yours".

The composer of this OST is a rising star in the OST industry this year. He has composed interludes for "Descendants of the Sun", "Scarlet Heart: Ryeo", and "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo".

This songwriter, like Jin Qixuan, started out by producing interlude songs (supporting role) and advanced to theme songs (protagonist). Even the timeline of their rise to fame was similar.

The beautiful melody, delicate lyrics and Jung Eun-ji's standard academic voice made Kim Ki-hyun feel like it was the finale even though they had only filmed the first episode...

Soon, Jung Eun-ji finished recording the OST.

She was on her way out, bowing to the sound engineer and staff and thanking them for their hard work.

Then, he looked into Jin Qixuan's eyes, who was sitting on the sofa.

Seeing this, Jung Eun-ji showed her signature smile and took the initiative to greet Jin Qixuan:

"Hello, Jin Qixuanxi, what a coincidence, are you here to record a song?"

To be honest, this girl distracted Jin Qixuan as soon as she opened her mouth.

The singing is quite good, but why is the speaking still in dialect?

The last time I heard the Busan dialect was when I was filming 1988, when Lee Dong-hwi made everyone laugh.

Although he complained in his heart, Jin Qixuan put on a kind smile on his face, bowed in return, and asked:
"What a coincidence. May I ask, how old is Jung Eun-ji?"

"93 years."

"If we're the same age, we can just not use honorifics, okay?"

"Okay."

Jung Eun-ji nodded in response with a smile.

She was not shy at all and sat down next to Jin Qixuan.
