Chapter 50 Telephone Connection

g, it feels kind of agonizing, especially when it keeps getting NGed.After brewing emotions in front of dozens of people, arranging expressions, and posing well before filming, if it's NG, you have to...After getting several iced coffees from the support van, Ji Jingyuan returned to the film set.

"Jingyuan, another cheering car has arrived!"

A staff member greeted with a smile.

"Come in, come in! With this heat, an iced coffee is just what we need. It might be gone later." Ji Jingyuan nodded.

The crew members are very welcoming to the cheering cars, and every time a cheering car comes, their quality of life improves a little.

After all, it's a low-budget and small-scale TV drama.

Along the way, many staff members greeted him, and he smiled and replied to each of them.

He gets along well with the people on set, and many have a good impression of him.

He sat back in his chair, took a big gulp of iced coffee, and fanned himself with a small electric fan. He felt his whole body temperature drop.

Filming is quite tough, aside from the high temperatures and mosquitoes, the heavy workload is also a big factor. Since the crew started working, they often film until the middle of the night and then start all over again the next morning.

Thankfully, EXO-K hasn't had too many activities lately, just a few music show appearances, otherwise, Park Kyung would be so tough now that he still has this much energy.

"How good is your relationship with your seniors, Girls' Generation"

Jeong Eon-ji held a glass of iced drink and sat on the small bench beside him, tilting her head and blinking at him with curiosity.

Although both are girl groups, Apink and Girls' Generation are clearly not on the same level now. For many female trainees on the peninsula and newly debuted idols, Girls' Generation are the objects of their aspirations.

Even if I can't become them, being friends with them is still something to brag about.

"I wouldn't say so, I'm just close with a few of them, and there are also several seniors I haven't met yet."

Chi Jingyuan shook his head, lazily lying on the reclining chair without even bowing.

Jeong Eon-ji is a year older than him and debuted earlier. According to seniority, she should show respect by using honorifics when addressing him.

However, the two of them have become quite familiar with each other, and they aren't the types who like to dwell on these things. Privately, they get along very casually.

This is also one of the important factors that brought them closer.

"Would you be able to introduce me I'd also like to be friends with Girls' Generation."

Jung Eun Ji's eyes lit up, and she grinned widely.

"Inside, if you had a chance, who would you want to meet"

Chi Jingyuan lazily replied.

"Are you familiar with Seohyun unnie"

Met once, never spoke.

“What about… Tiffany unnie”

"We've met once, but I don't have any contact information."

"You... what about Yuri unnie"

I've never seen this sister before.

"Oh!"

Jung Eun-ji's blunt Busan dialect came out: "Just say if you don't want to introduce yourself."

She had been smiling to get what she wanted, her eyes crinkled at the corners as she looked at Chi Jingyuan. Now, they were wide with anger.

Although her eyes strained to open, they weren't much.

"I said I only know a few people, two from the upper circle and two from the lower circle. Who do you want to meet"

Ji Jingyuan didn't pay any attention to Zheng Endi's angry glare. He picked up his iced coffee and took another sip, savoring the taste before turning his head to look at her.

"Popularity bottom tier... That doesn't seem right, does it"

Jeon Eunji paused for a moment, reminding him in a hushed tone.

"Isn't this just the two of us I can say that even in front of those two sisters."

Chi Jingyuan waved his hand dismissively, indicating it was nothing. However, he added, "But it's not really appropriate to say something like that in front of people you don't know well."

Zheng En nodded, her eyes narrowed, and then a smile appeared on her face.

She was rather pleased, even a little proud, to hear that Chi Jingyuan had put her in the category of acquaintances she could casually interact with.

"That..."

Just as the two were about to continue their conversation, they were interrupted. The director signaled for filming to resume.

They could only quickly drink two mouthfuls of water and start working.

…………

This shoot went straight until sunset, and we stopped when the sky started to get dark.

Today's shooting went very smoothly. After more than half a month of getting to know each other, everyone in the crew has now entered their work state, especially the main actors. They have a clear understanding of the characters they play and their emotions.

The weather is really quite hot, and this shooting location is near a patch of grass, which means there are a lot of mosquitoes. They're flying around the lights constantly.

Chi Jingyuan particularly dislikes bugs. Contacting them will give him a mild discomfort.

I just want to finish filming this scene as soon as possible.

Everyone caught their breath and returned to their seats, fanning themselves with small handheld fans incessantly.

This thing is really a high-temperature artifact. I don't know how to persevere without it. Meanwhile, the staff waiting nearby began distributing the already prepared dinner to everyone.

Small productions, don't expect too much for the meals. They usually just have boxed lunches and hamburgers. This is pretty standard for Korean drama sets.

Chi Jingyuan was munching on a hamburger, while also taking out his phone to check for any news.

At this time, Park Ji-hyun appeared out of nowhere again.

"Jingyuan, there will be a phone call later, you prepare for it."

He came with a message for Chi Jingyuan.

"Phone call Who is it"

Ji Jingyuan still had a hamburger in his mouth, with a sheen of grease on his lips, and he stared at Park Ja-hyun with wide eyes.

"Sunny's..."

…………

The filming of "Youth Never Ends 2" is underway here in Gangwon-do, South Korea.

This first season of the variety show was quite popular, and all seven female MCs received a lot of attention. It can be considered a fairly successful variety show.

But the second season did not inherit the popularity of the first season, and it is possible that the program was indeed average. Since its premiere, its popularity has been declining. Originally, there were eight resident idol MCs, but two left in episode 18, leaving only six.

The program team also put a lot of effort into increasing viewership, trying all sorts of methods, but they yielded little to no results.

During the shoot today, a group of MCs played a game. The rule was that the loser had to publicly share the tenth photo stored on their phone.

Just as if by chance, Sunny won the prize.

Under the camera, all the MCs being filmed began to scream:

"Public! Public!"

"Will Sunny's phone have any private photos"

"The Hidden Life of the Reigning Girl Group, Girls' Generation!"

As the people around started chanting incessantly, Sunny made a reluctant and unwilling expression before taking out her phone and displaying the tenth photo in her phone.

Of course, this stage was already planned in advance. The photos that need to be public are also specially uploaded by Sunny.

Reality shows would never stage something like a sudden, real-life attack and expose private photos. Neither the idols nor their companies would agree to that.

> Some live programs may have slight variations from the original.

And after Sunny lost, she publicly released a photo from her phone that she had prepared beforehand.

"Oh, jjia! There's a handsome guy!"

"Wow, Yoona's here too. She's so beautiful."

"Is this a group photo from somewhere The guys are really handsome."

"This is an EXO member, right So handsome!"

After seeing the photo, the MCs beside her screamed and covered their mouths with exaggerated expressions, praising the other two people in the photo.

Many of them are for the sake of the show's effect, but there are also genuine praises.

This picture was taken at Sunny's birthday party after the meal with a few people present. It includes Park Chanyeol, Sunny, Hyoeyeon, and Seohyun.

In the photo, Sunny and Hyo-yeon both have funny faces. Yoona is smiling with a V hand gesture on the right, while Jin-young is on the left, tilting his head and smiling at the camera.

In the photo, he wasn't squinting. Instead, his eyes were open and normal, looking straight at the camera while also glancing sideways at the few people beside him. He had a slight, faint smile playing on his lips.
