Chapter 28 The Magical Uses of Coffee

April 5th.

The day Kim Ki-hyun joined the crew for the second filming was also the day Kim Jong-kook filmed his first show.

Since their roles were relatively late, Jin Qixuan went to school to attend classes in the morning, and the two worked out together at noon before heading to the filming site.

However, after the two joined the crew, they found that the atmosphere was extremely depressing. The actors were all very nervous, and they did not look at all as relaxed as they did on the start day.

Kim Ki-hyeon told Kim Jong-kook and quietly found the FD who had taken the little easter egg photo for him before to inquire about it.

"FDnim, why is the atmosphere so depressing today?"

"Shhh."

FD looked around and lowered his voice:
"With the shooting progress in the morning, we haven't even finished the second scene."

"how is this possible?"

Jin Qixuan exclaimed, then suddenly reacted, shrank his neck, and whispered:

"We shot 9 scenes in the morning on the first day of filming, and today we didn't even pass two?"

"Alas, it seems like everyone is not in good shape today. Except for Cha Tae Hyun-xi, all other actors have NG at least three times."

Under normal filming conditions, the actors need to pause filming and adjust their emotions after three consecutive NGs.

The time to adjust the status can be as short as five minutes or as long as half an hour.

It’s okay if one or two actors make NGs, but if all the actors are not up to standard, the director will scold them at the very least.

"Just now in the second scene, in the fourth take, Kim Soo Hyun NGed 6 times in a row."

"and then?"

"PDnim asked him to slap himself. He would slap himself once for each NG, and the second time would be cumulative. However, in order not to affect the filming, he slapped himself on the neck."

After listening, Kim Ki-hyeon stood on tiptoe to take a look and found that Kim Soo-hyun's neck was a little swollen.

This guy is really serious...

If the shooting schedule continues at this pace, the uncle and nephew Jin would have come here in vain today, as their scenes would not be filmed at all.

After Jin Qixuan understood the situation, he went back and told Kim Jong Kook about it.

"You go to the convenience store and buy a bag of ice, and then buy two servings... Never mind, just buy the ice."

After saying that, Kim Jong Kook waved to Kim Ki-hyun, took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Inside."

After receiving the instructions, Jin Qixuan ran to the nearby convenience store.

Three minutes later, Kim Ki-hyeon returned to Kim Jong-kook with ice cubes.

"Shooting will be suspended for a while. Send it to Kim Soo Hyun."

"Inside."

About twenty minutes passed.

Kim Soo Hyun's fourth and fifth takes were finally finished, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and moved indoors to shoot Cha Tae Hyun's third shot.

See here,

Jin Qixuan ran to Jin Xiuxian with ice cubes and handed them to him:
"Senior, please apply some compress. It's a little swollen."

"Yes, Kang San Mi Da."

After expressing his thanks, Kim Soo-hyun took the ice and put it on his neck, then lowered his head and said nothing to Kim Ki-hyeon.

Kim Ki-hyeon didn't care about his cold attitude. He bowed and said goodbye, then followed Kim Jong-kook to watch the indoor shooting.

After all, as the TV King, who would be in a good mood when everyone on the crew was watching him slap himself in the face?
Soon, all units were ready and started filming.

The content being filmed now is that Zhuo Yizhen tricked Luo Junmo last night and moved to Luo Junmo's house early the next morning, while Luo Junmo looked at her moving things with a confused look on his face.

"I, Luo Junmo, agree to let my friend Zhuo Yizhen stay at my house for four months free of charge."

After reading the contents of the note, Luo Junmo took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly, and looked at Zhuo Yizhen in disbelief:
"You mean, I wrote this?"

"Yeah~ There are signatures and handprints on it."

Zhuo Yizhen raised her eyebrows with a smile, then pointed at the door lock and said:
"Why is your password still four zeros? I want to change it to my birthday."

After that, Zhuo Yizhen went into the house to direct the movers to work. Luo Junmo read the contents of the paper again.

After confirming that it was his own handwriting, he put his hands in his hair and scratched it violently several times.

Then he hugged the iron railing, looked at the movers moving things to his house with a look of despair, and kept saying "xi" under his mouth.

"Cut, pass."

After this part, the director didn't mention Kim Soo Hyun and started focusing on Cha Tae Hyun's part.

Cha Tae-hyun also used his own strength to explain why he was the actor invited by Park Ji-eun.

There really wasn't a single NG during the entire shoot, except for the occasional need to save one or two lines, everything was done in one take.

Jin Qixuan watched with great admiration.

Under such high-pressure shooting conditions, Jin Qixuan believes that it would be unlikely to avoid NGs if he were to do it himself.

Therefore, he felt a little ashamed for being so proud of not having any NGs in the past few days.

After a while, a coffee truck drove up outside the venue.

After seeing it, Kim Jong Kook called Kim Ki-Hyun to go and get it.

“Send it to the director first, then to the FD, and don’t worry about the rest.”

"Inside."

Jin Qixuan ran to the coffee cart, took two cups of coffee and some small pastries, then strode back to the director and waited.

After a while, the director called out "cut" and Jin Qixuan hurriedly handed over the coffee and pastries:
"Thank you for your hard work, PDnim."

"Oh……"

The director looked at Jin Qixuan in surprise and took the coffee and pastries.

Then he looked past Jin Qixuan towards the coffee truck not far away, thought for a moment, and shouted into the radio:
"Take a half-hour break. Jin Qixuanxi bought some coffee to reward everyone."

"Wow~"

The tense atmosphere in the entire crew became relaxed at this moment.

No one likes a stressful working environment, and directors are no exception.

As a result, the director's state returned to normal from the serious look during the filming:

"I won't be accompanying you in the filming. Let the FD film you. Oh, by the way, practice backing into a parking space in the parking lot when you have time. I'll give you a cool independent shot in a few days."

"Inside~"

When Jin Qixuan heard that there was an independent shot, he was delighted.

"The coffee tastes good, go prepare it with FD."

"Inside."

After bowing and saying goodbye, Jin Qixuan handed another copy to FD.

Although the coffee was not expensive, the benefits were considerable, and the FD talked obviously more to Jin Qixuan.

When they arrived at the shooting location, all the staff were ready, but the shooting could not proceed because Lee Ji-eun was not there.

It wasn't because her schedule was tight and she couldn't make the time, but because there was a traffic accident on the way here and their car was rear-ended.

Fortunately, it was not a malicious attack by Anti, but just a routine traffic accident. By the time they finished handling it and came over, everyone had been waiting for nearly an hour.

In fact, according to the progress of today's filming, Lee Ji-eun only has one scene.

Even if Lee Ji-eun's scenes were finished ahead of time, the crew members couldn't leave work early, so it didn't matter if she arrived late.

Everyone's understanding made Lee Ji-eun even more ashamed. She felt that she had wasted the crew's time and kept bowing 90 degrees to apologize.

Although her attitude was very correct, some people were still dissatisfied and murmured in low voices.

"Tsk, you're just pretending. If you really feel so guilty, why don't you just bow down to me?"

The sound was not loud and most people at the scene did not hear it.

But Jin Qixuan heard it very clearly.
