Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

"call..."

"I'm dying of thirst!"

The dressing room also serves as a temporary rest area.

Jiang Xingchen, dressed impeccably, gulped down coffee without any regard for her image.

In no time, the iced Americano that Xia Minying brought back for him was empty, with only a few ice cubes sloshing around.

"Consultant Jiang, what have you been doing?"

Seeing him dramatically finish a cup of coffee, Ham Eun-jung couldn't help but ask, and then took the unfinished coffee from Ha Min-young's hand and handed it to him.

"One cup is enough." Jiang Xingchen waved her hand with a smile, then said with a smile, "On the way here, I was on the phone with Zhiyan and I was so busy talking that I forgot to drink water."

"You chatted the whole way?"

Ham Eun-jung looked at him with a strange expression.

Deep down, I wondered if we should re-evaluate our relationship.

Although it is known that they have roughly reached an agreement and initially established a cooperative relationship.

but...

Is a cooperative relationship one where you can talk on the phone all the way from Seoul to Namyangju?

"We talked about work and about Eun-jung."

Jiang Xingchen nodded.

He seemed oblivious to the curious stares around him.

He only looked up at Ham Eun-jung when she was mentioned.

The matter that had been troubling her for the past two days was finally clarified yesterday.

The reason he didn't rush to resolve the issue was that when he met Ham Eun-jung, he vaguely sensed that her thoughts seemed to differ somewhat from what Park Ji-yeon had relayed.

So I spent a day observing the film set.

It's lunchtime, so there's still plenty of time for a break.

Since we've mentioned it, let's get straight to the point.

crunch...

At that moment, the door to the dressing room was opened from the outside.

Lee Joo-yeon.

Holding a cup of extra-strong iced Americano in my hand.

As soon as I entered, I noticed that I was 'surrounded' by the people inside.

"Perhaps I've disturbed you?" she asked uncertainly.

"Ani," Jiang Xingchen immediately shook her head in denial, then added, "I'm currently reporting to my supervisor because I was absent for half a day!"

"Pfft..."

His self-deprecating remark amused everyone in the room.

Ham Eun-jung rolled her eyes slightly. "I don't have the ability to make a designer report to me."

The ease and comfort in his speech were even greater than yesterday.

Lee Joo-yeon, who could tell from their conversation, curiously looked the two of them up and down, then quickly left the dressing room with the excuse that she had "just remembered she forgot to get the churros".

So, only Jiang Xingchen, Xian Enjing, and their assistant Xia Minying remained in the dressing room.

Xia Minying even started to wonder if she should go out for a bit too?

"What are your true thoughts about the hair issue, Eun-jung?"

"At first I was resistant, but now I'm not so resistant anymore. I can't quite explain why."

"Alright, I think I understand."

Hearing this explanation, Jiang Xingchen nodded slightly.

As he said, he roughly understood what Ham Eun-jung meant.

As the director, Lee Jae-jin can be considered the supreme commander in coordinating the entire production team.

The starting point for all our work is to improve the show's ratings.

It was inevitable that Ham Eun-jung's hair would come into his consideration.

It could even be said to be quite normal.

For TV dramas that are filmed and broadcast simultaneously, the script and presentation style need to be adjusted at any time to achieve better results.

The problem is that the wigs available on the market are of very poor quality and do not achieve the effect he wants at all.

And Ham Eun-jung.

This is related to one's career planning.

This is how conflicts arise.

However, Lee Jae-jin did not use his position as the supreme commander to force Ham Eun-jung to take immediate action.

Park Ji-yeon's contact, and her confident assertion that someone could handle everything.

Unexpectedly, this made her think more deeply.

"Consultant Jiang, then I would like to trouble you to trim my long hair in a couple of days."

Looking through the mirror on the dressing table.

Ham Eun-jung said earnestly to Kang Sung-chen.

"Are you serious?" Jiang Xingchen raised an eyebrow and put the bag she had just picked up back down.

I never expected her to make this decision so suddenly.

"Eun-jung unnie?"

Contrary to his attitude, Xia Minying, who was standing to the side, called out anxiously.

Although she only joined Ham Eun-jung's team at the beginning of last year.

But after nearly two years, I have completely sided with this caring older sister.

Hearing that she had made such a decision...

"Yes, I've thought it through."

Ham Eun-jung raised her hand to signal Ha Min-young to be quiet. She looked back at her long hair in the mirror, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, and then repeated, "I've thought it through."

"Daaaa... As expected of Eunjung!"

Jiang Xingchen clapped her hands, then picked up the bag she had just put down and took out the wig that the system had rewarded her with.

"So this wig will be perfect for when you cut your hair short?"

"Consultant Jiang, it's not that we haven't considered wigs, it's just that the texture of the wigs we've collected..."

Seeing that Jiang Xingchen had even prepared a wig, Ham Eun-jung was somewhat surprised, but mostly helpless.

If wigs could solve this problem, things wouldn't be so troublesome.

As she spoke, she reached out and took the wig.

next second.

The words came to an abrupt halt.

"The quality is pretty good, isn't it?"

Idols.

Various performances require different costumes and looks.

Wigs and hair extensions are standard procedures.

The more you see, the more you understand the quality and texture of this product.

It was because of this that Ham Eun-jung was able to understand Lee Jae-jin's obsession with cutting her hair short.

The fake can't compare to the real thing.

But what about this one in my hand now?

It's a ghost!

Under the makeup lights, the hair texture subtly appears to have a shinier shine than real hair.

Even the tiny downy hairs at the crown of the head are incredibly lifelike.

Speaking of this...

Ham Eun-jung suddenly called over Ha Min-young and asked her to take a picture of the top of her head with her phone.

After comparing them, all that remained in their eyes was surprise.

"Consultant Jiang?"

"Why don't you repeat what you just said?"

Seeing that she realized the wig in her hand could achieve the desired effect, Jiang Xingchen's tone became more mischievous, urging her to repeat what she had just said.

pity.

I couldn't hear it.

Instead, she received a reproachful look in return.

Why didn't you bring out this good stuff sooner?

"Consultant Jiang, perhaps we could change this wig to a short style?"

"Go sit by the dressing table and try it on to see how it looks."

Jiang Xingchen pointed to the dressing table, then took a step over and patted the sturdy chair back.

Ham Eun-jung sat down as instructed, watching nervously as he tied up and secured her long hair before putting on the wig.

Adjust your hairline, comb your bangs, and tidy your sideburns.

Less than two minutes.

The moment his hand left.

Xia Minying, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"Oh my... Oh my..."

"For the afternoon's scenes, just wear the wig. I'll fix it after we wrap up tonight!"
