Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

Chapter 121 The Coffee Trucks Arrive One After Another

At 9:00 AM on June 22nd, at Yulcheon High School in Suwon City, Gyeonggi Province, the main filming location for "School 2013".

The opening ceremony for "School 2013" was held here.

On the offering table at the very front are a live pig's head, dried pollack, red beans and white rice, several kinds of fruit and pastries, liquor and drinking utensils.

At the very front row stood representatives from HD Company, Yoon Ha-rim (the drama's chief producer), director Lee Eung-bok, screenwriter Jin Yeon, and Lee Chang-ho (the head of the television department at SBS).

Behind her were a host of main actors including Jang Nara, Choi Daniel, Krystal, Lee Jong-suk, Kim Woo-bin, and Ham Eun-jung.

Next to them are the on-site art, lighting, makeup, and other staff members.

Nearby, several reporters who were on good terms with HD Company and SBS TV were taking pictures for later reporting.

For a launch ceremony like this, a large number of media outlets are usually not invited; they are only invited for the subsequent TV series press conference.

Following the instructions of the ceremony's host, everyone offered incense and bowed, completing a series of procedures.

Unlike the red envelopes used in China, the money in the peninsula is uniformly packaged in white cardboard boxes, which are called white envelopes.

The crew members each received a white envelope, and the opening ceremony was essentially over.

Yoon Ha-rim, Lee Chang-ho, and the others naturally didn't stay there long. They each came over and chatted with Chen Ran for a few words before leaving the set.

Chen Ran watched Yoon Ha-rim and Lee Chang-ho walk away, then turned his gaze to the dispersing staff nearby, his expression thoughtful.

Lee Chang-ho just told him, "I've heard about the deputy director and the producer. With Representative Yoon and me around, they won't do anything too outrageous, but they might still pull some dirty tricks."

"Xiao Ran, you're a new screenwriter and haven't established enough influence in the crew yet. If they lose face in front of you, they'll definitely try to make you lose face in return. We don't know who's on their side in the crew, so be careful."

Yin Helin smiled at him and said, "Don't worry too much, just go for it. I'll take the blame for you if anything goes wrong."

Chen Ran glanced around.

He didn't think Lee Chang-ho and Yoon Ha-rim were overthinking things.

After all, the cunning of the people on the peninsula... tsk...

The OK sign is an internationally recognized gesture; those who know, know.

As the saying goes, when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.

He won't deliberately cause trouble, but he's not afraid of trouble either.

Putting his thoughts aside, Chen Ran walked over to Li Yingfu and discussed the first scene they were going to film later.

To ensure a smooth start to filming, the crew always chooses a very simple scene for the first scene.

The scenes to be filmed were already finalized by the two before the opening ceremony, and the actors were notified in advance. Now it's just a final check of the details to avoid any mistakes.

Li Yingfu called over the cameraman, lighting technician, and sound engineer, and explained the details to them.

Chen Ran glanced at the group of people.

I wonder if any of the deputy director's people are among them.

But anyone who isn't an idiot would definitely not deliberately mess up the first scene.

That would offend everyone.

Not far away, Krystal Jung, Ham Eun-jung, Lee Jong-suk, Kim Woo-bin, and others were chatting and getting to know each other.

Lee Jong-suk glanced at Chen Ran standing there and suddenly exclaimed, "The screenwriter is really handsome. I've seen him several times, and he's still as handsome as ever."

With just one sentence, he drew everyone's attention, and they all looked at Chen Ran, who was not far away.

Wearing a sky-blue striped shirt, light blue loose jeans, and white sneakers, her clean and refreshing figure immediately caught the eye, causing the others' gazes to flicker slightly.

Standing next to him, Krystal Jung blinked and asked, "Oppa, are you feeling pressured?"

"Pressure? What pressure do I have? I'm a screenwriter, not an actor."

However, Lee Jong-suk does envy Chen Ran's appearance.

His natural appearance wasn't particularly striking; his current appearance is the result of cosmetic surgery.

Unlike Chen Ran, who is completely natural.

Kim Woo-bin then chimed in, "When I first saw the screenwriter at the audition, my immediate thought was that he should be the actor playing the male lead, but I never expected him to be the screenwriter."

Lee Jong-suk glanced at the other group of reporters who had packed up their equipment and were preparing to leave.

"I have a feeling that after the reporters publish today's reports, screenwriter Nim might become a little popular."

The reason is simple: handsome.

In a society on the Korean Peninsula that highly values appearance, being handsome is enough to attract a lot of attention.

Upon hearing this, the others nearby nodded in agreement, clearly sharing the same sentiment.

Only Krystal Jung glanced at the entrance to the film set, her two arched eyebrows slightly furrowed in embarrassment.

Why hasn't Unnie's coffee truck arrived yet?

Is this unreliable unnie going to mess things up again?

Not far away, a staff member jogged over to Chen Ran's side.

"Screenwriter, Director, a few coffee trucks have arrived at the set entrance. It looks like they're for some actors and the screenwriter."

of. "

Chen Ran was slightly taken aback.

Did they give them to me?

Li Yingfu was clearly experienced in this kind of thing, and laughed, "Let them drive in. It's a good opportunity for the staff to have a cup of coffee to perk them up before the official start of filming."

"OK."

The staff member then jogged away.

A short while later, a coffee truck appeared at the entrance of the film set.

Hearing the commotion, the surrounding staff all looked over, and whispers quickly spread throughout the film set.

"Hey, our little production crew, who doesn't have any big stars, actually got a coffee truck as a show of support on our first day of filming."

"Although there aren't any big stars, there are Krystal and Eunjung, two popular members of girl groups, right? It must have been a gift from their group members or fan clubs, right?"

"Let me see who sent it?"

A staff member wearing black-rimmed glasses squinted at the banner hanging on the coffee cart.

[Wishing our Eunjung a smooth filming process, and may every scene be nailed in one take—Tara entire team.]

"Oh, so it was a gift from Tara."

The surrounding staff all looked on knowingly, and were about to turn back to their own tasks when another coffee cart appeared at the door.

"Huh? Another one?"

"This car should be for Krystal, right?"

"Let me take another look."

The man with black-rimmed glasses squinted again.

The banner on the second coffee truck read:

[Wishing screenwriter Chen Ran a successful start to filming and a huge ratings hit for his new drama! —Tara All]

"Hmm? Screenwriter Chen Ran? Is this a gift for our screenwriter?"

"Tsk, it seems our screenwriter and Tara have a good relationship."

In the actors' rest area not far away, Lee Jong-suk, Kim Woo-bin, and others glanced at the scene and their eyes flickered.

Lee Jong-suk looked at Ham Eun-jung: "Eun-jung, do you T-ara and the screenwriter know each other?"

Ham Eun-jung glanced at the coffee truck that had just driven in, smiled, and shook her head.

"I don't actually know the other members or the screenwriter, only Jiyeon is quite familiar with the screenwriter."

"I see."

Lee Jong-seok nodded, looking thoughtful.

The same applies to Kim Woo-bin, Jang Nara, and others standing nearby.

As the center of the production team, the screenwriter's ability to discern the closeness of relationships with others is also a skill.

Anyone who makes a name for themselves in the entertainment industry knows these basic social skills.

Ham Eun-jung, a former child star, could probably guess what they were thinking.

She also knew that with the coffee truck that Tara gave to Chen Ran, she would have many hidden benefits on set.

Jiyeon deserves a lot of credit for this.

Without her relationship with Chen Ran, none of the other members of Tara would dare to deliver this coffee truck.

Doing this when the relationship isn't strong enough is just forcing it.

Suddenly, Lee Jong-seok, Kim Woo-bin, and the others standing next to him straightened up a bit and their expressions became serious.

Because Chen Ran was walking towards them.

"Screenwriter."

As Chen Ran approached, the group bowed and greeted him.

This includes Krystal Jung.

She understands the importance of using job titles in the workplace.

Chen Ran smiled and nodded in return, then looked at Ham Eun-jung.

"Eun-jung, what, you guys even gave me a coffee cart?"

Ham Eun-jung blinked: "It was Ji-yeon who said she would give you one separately."

Just as he finished speaking, a cell phone rang.

Ham Eun-jung took out her phone from her pocket.

When you mention Jiyeon, Jiyeon arrives.

She answered the phone.

Park Jiyeon's energetic voice rang out: "Unnie, the coffee truck I ordered has arrived, did you see it?"

"I saw it, it just drove into the film set."

"Hehe, that's good."

Ham Eun-jung glanced at Chen Ran beside her, thought for a moment and said, "Chen Ran is next to me. He just asked me about the coffee truck."

"Oh, okay, then unnie, give the phone to oppa."

"it is good."

Ham Eun-jung handed her phone to Chen Ran, indicating that he should answer the call.

Chen Ran answered the phone: "Feed".

"Hehe, how about it, oppa? I'm pretty generous, right? I ordered a coffee truck for Eunjung unnie, and I sent one to you too."

Chen Ran smiled and said, "Yeah, that's great, thanks!"

"You're welcome~ Next time I eat at oppa's restaurant, just give me a discount."

"Oh, so you were waiting for me here."

Hehe~

After exchanging a few jokes, Park Jiyeon hung up the phone.

Chen Ran returned the phone to Xian Enjing.

Suddenly, a loudspeaker blared at the entrance of the film set, and a coffee truck appeared in front of everyone, with what looked like another one behind it.

Chen Ran raised an eyebrow. "Oh, and another one."

At this moment, Krystal Jung spoke up, "This should have been a gift from my unnie and Sulli V unnie."

"I see."

As the coffee truck drew closer, the group could see the banner on it.

[Wishing our Krystal a smooth start to filming and a huge ratings hit for her new drama—f() All]

This was sent by all of f().

The car behind quickly followed and drove in.

The banner read: "Wishing Chen Ran oppa a successful start to his first script and a ratings explosion! — Choi Jin-ri"

The staff around were surprised to see two more coffee trucks arrive. Their eyes widened slightly.

"Daifa, two more have arrived, making it four now."

"Tsk, looks like I can enjoy unlimited coffee today."

"As expected, f() also sent a coffee truck. My favorite group is indeed the most loving. But who is Choi Jinri on the truck behind? I don't think I've ever heard of her."

"That's Sulli's real name, you fake fan."

Krystal Jung narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the three characters "Choi Jin-ri" at the end of the signature.

Choi Jin-ri, huh?

It wasn't Sherry, it was Truth.

It's not Sulli, the artist who faces the public and is always under the spotlight, but rather the truth that represents the most authentic version of herself.

Krystal Jung pursed her lips slightly.

I knew she'd do something special.

Krystal glanced at Chen Ran, who was smiling beside her, then quietly turned around and walked a little further away. She then took out her phone and dialed Jessica Jung's number.

After a ten-second beeping sound, the call was finally answered.

"Feed"

Jessica Jung's sleepy voice rang out, still half-asleep.

Krystal Jung's eyes widened, and she said in a low voice with a hint of disappointment, "Jessica, why are you still sleeping?"

Look at them, then look at you. If you keep sleeping like this, your house is really going to get robbed!

"I don't have any plans in the morning, what else can I do if I don't sleep?"

Krystal Jung sighed and asked about the important matter: "Where's the coffee truck you ordered? I haven't seen it yet. Sulli's has already been delivered."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm really ready. I'll probably arrive later."

"real?"

"Otherwise, by the way, did Shirley only send a coffee cart?"

Krystal Jung glanced back at the coffee truck not far away.

"Yes, but it was given in the name of her real name, Makoto."

"I see."

There was a soft chuckle on the other end of the phone before Jessica Jung's voice continued.

"Okay, I got it. Don't worry about it. My order will arrive soon."

After saying that, the call was disconnected before Krystal Jung could reply.

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Krystal Jung frowned slightly.

Judging from my unnie's tone just now, she seemed very confident.

Did she really have some special preparation?
