Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

"Li Hexiu, I had a good chat with him when I came here the day before yesterday."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should have already reported what I've been doing here."

"As for MBK Entertainment, or rather Kim Kwang-soo, no one has contacted me yet."

"The specifics are currently unknown."

"However, as I said before, you can just stay put."

Jiang Xingchen put her hands in her pockets and looked at actress Xian Enjing, who was working diligently in front of the camera.

His tone of voice remained calm, as always.

His emotions gradually affected the two of them, temporarily putting aside their slight unease.

The next second, Jiang Xingchen left a message saying, "You guys wait here, I'm going over there," and then walked to the vicinity of the filming location.

Then he took out his phone and pointed it at Ham Eun-jung, who was performing.

"What was that saying again?"

"It's true that the old guard is no match for the new."

"Eun-jung is treated much better than I am."

Seeing his actions, Park Hyomin snorted softly, then laughed out loud, teasing the scene before her.

These words truly chilled Park Jiyeon, who was standing beside him, to the bone.

She tilted her head.

She looked at Park Hyomin with a resentful expression.

Perhaps the resentment was too strong.

Park Hyomin, who was lost in thought, suddenly snapped back to reality, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and looked embarrassed.

"Mianhe, I forgot about Jiyeon!"

"Oh, unnie..."

Seeing the barely concealed smile on her lips, Park Jiyeon couldn't help but say, "Next time you apologize, could you please tone down your smile a little?"

"Mianne... it's just really hard to bear."

"Stinky Ginger Star!"

Hearing this, Park Jiyeon turned her gaze to Jiang Xingchen, who was not far away, and stared intently at his back while cursing.

But just as she finished cursing, Jiang Xingchen suddenly turned around and looked back.

Startled, she quickly shut her mouth.

"Pfft..."

...

...

Afternoon photoshoot.

Everything is going smoothly.

This change in mindset has allowed Ham Eun-jung to maintain a good state of mind.

However, this is not without flaws and problems.

Therefore, in the late afternoon, after another scene was filmed, Lee Jae-jin confirmed that the take was usable and called Ham Eun-jung aside.

this action.

It's hard not to feel a bit nervous.

But when Lee Jae-jin, who had been so difficult to deal with just two days ago, finally spoke, what she said surprised her.

"Eun-jung, I think you need to adjust your mindset."

"This is a filming location for a daily drama, not Inkigayo or Music Bank."

"You don't need to make any exaggerated expressions."

"Remember, surprise is more than just staring."

"Yes," Ham Eun-jung bowed slightly before replying, "I'll think about it carefully."

Seeing that she was obedient, Li Zaizhen said no more and turned to arrange other matters.

After he left, Ham Eun-jung belatedly realized what had happened.

Now I understand why this director, who is never usually so polite, is being so courteous this time.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him."

Even just a slice of red ginseng and the food truck that had been stationed at the scene for the past few days made Lee Jae-jin restrain his bad temper.

She then returned to her seat.

His face showed a mixture of distress and dejection.

The two women, Park Ji-yeon and Park Ji-yeon, sitting to the side, exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say.

They really don't understand acting skills.

Do you feel like you lack talent?

Just then, a gentle voice sounded from the side.

Jiang Xingchen walked over at some point, holding a cell phone in her hand.

He pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Ham Eun-jung.

No words of comfort were offered.

Instead, he simply faced the phone screen towards her and handed it to her.

"Take a look at this."

The video playing on the screen shows the footage of her being interrupted several times during the cutscenes.

Jiang Xingchen was standing to the side holding up her phone, and that's what she was recording.

Ham Eun-jung frowned as she looked at herself on the screen.

His expression was indeed a bit exaggerated, and there was a significant difference compared to the others.

"You used too much force."

After she had looked at it for a while, Jiang Xingchen put her phone away and pointed out the problem incisively, "Enjing, you debuted as a child star, and you've come this far not because you lack talent."

"It's because of the sudden change in her image that she was so eager to prove herself."

"Are you worried that even after changing the look, it still won't improve the ratings?"

"It's a bit like when you're acting, you're adding something, but in today's cinematic language, the most important thing is how to subtract."

"Subtraction?" Ham Eun-jung was taken aback.

"Think about how you were a couple of days ago, wasn't that great?"

"The video quality of cameras these days is so high that they can capture even the fine hairs on your face clearly."

Jiang Xingchen pointed to the camera in the distance and said softly.

"The audience doesn't need you to use your facial expressions to tell them 'I'm surprised' or 'I'm sad'."

"The harder you try, the more fake it seems to the audience."

"So, try to tone down your expressions. Don't just focus on moving your eyebrows and the corners of your mouth; put your energy into these areas..."

He held up two fingers and pointed at Ham Eun-jung's eyes.

"Let your emotions flow from your eyes."

Upon hearing this, Ham Eun-jung fell into deep thought.

She knew this theory, but putting it into practice wasn't something that could be done in just a few words.

"The next scene is a crying scene, right?"

While she was thinking, Jiang Xingchen reached out to Xia Minying for the script and flipped through it to see the content of the next scene: "After being humiliated by her mother-in-law, she sheds tears alone in the entryway. According to the script, you should kneel down and cry bitterly, shouting, 'Why did you do this to me?'"

Ham Eun-jung nodded: "That's how it's written in the script."

"Try forgetting the script's prompts and expressing the emotions of this scene in a different way?"

Jiang Xingchen made a bold suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Ham Eun-jung was immediately startled.

Rewrite the play?

Lee Jae-jin would have scolded him to death!

"That part on the left and right is your solo performance, with no one else involved. Even if we redo it, it won't take much time."

Compared to Ham Eun-jung's nervousness, Kang Xing-chen was more relaxed.

After saying that, he stood up, patted her shoulder twice, and then walked towards Lee Jae-jin.

He returned with a smile in less than two minutes.

The answer is obvious.

The director, who wasn't exactly known for his good temper, agreed to his suggestion.

"But I haven't figured out how to perform yet!"

"That's easy, just follow my instructions..."

Since Jiang Xingchen dared to make the suggestion, she must have had a plan in mind.

Seeing that Ham Eun-jung had agreed to his suggestion, he immediately sat down next to her, gave her a lecture, and then moved his chair away, leaving her alone.

After all, no one can replace her in the scenes to come!

"I said, how come you can do everything!"

It was at this moment that Park Jiyeon tugged at his sleeve and whispered a question in his ear.

Park Hyomin, on the other side, also pricked up her ears and looked over.

"Didn't I already say I can be any role you need!"

"You still don't believe me!"
