Chapter 3: Jin Jisoo

ith a stern expression. He began by asking, "Did you also participate in this showcase You were practicing in the studio just now, weren't you Why didn't you come find me"Don't say you didn't see me,..."Anihaseyo..."

"Hahaha…"

"Oh my goodness, Jingyuan is here."

The conference room for the ad production meeting was packed. Besides actors and agents, there were also the AD, writers, and production crew members. There were also representatives from the advertising agency, as well as representatives from the 'New Lily' brand, filling every corner of the room.

As soon as Ji Jingyuan pushed the door open, he immediately received almost everyone's attention. He quickly bowed repeatedly, bowing while walking towards the obviously empty spot designated for the male lead. The attendees saw him and were very enthusiastic. The advertising company and Ji Jingyuan had already had multiple communications and collaborations, and this time, the brand side 'Shinry' chose Ji Jingyuan as their new spokesperson, needless to say. Even the ad director was an acquaintance. When Ji Jingyuan was saluting and greeting, he realized that the PD was actually the ad director Kim Jin-long who had worked with him on a milk advertisement before.

Speaking of it, he remembers that milk advertisement was filmed when EXO first debuted. He was still very youthful and inexperienced at the time. Back then, Kim Jae-long took good care of him during the filming process, often praising him. Looking back now, the impression Jin Jae-long left on Ji-sung is quite good. After more than two years apart, they are meeting again to collaborate, which gives him a lot of familiar feelings.

"Senior, Anihaseyo..."

Chi Jingyuan walked towards his seat, bowing as he went. Before he even reached it, the girl sitting in the front row stood up and turned to him with a respectful bow. Her makeup made her look fair and delicate, and her dark brown hair swayed gently, but her voice sounded a little strange.

"Jisoo" Ji-seong nodded and glanced at the girl named Kim Jisoo. He had already looked over her basic information beforehand.

Her figure wasn't particularly remarkable, but her looks were decent. However, in the entertainment industry, there were simply too many beautiful actresses who lacked fame. Ji Jingyuan didn't pay much attention to her mainly because he felt like he had seen this girl somewhere before. It was just a faint sense of familiarity, but it wasn't a strong impression, and he couldn't quite remember where.

But I can't remember if I've ever met Chi Jingyuan, it doesn't matter anyway. I probably just saw him somewhere by chance once. My memory is so vague, I don't think it was a very important encounter.

"Well then, senior Yuan, I'm Jisoo." Kim Jisoo quickly nodded and glanced up at the other person, managing a pleasant smile. Her pearly white teeth glistened, and her features weren't bad either, but for some reason she seemed a bit vacant.

Ji Jingyuan smiled, greeted them briefly and didn't say much. He nodded to Kim Ji-soo's manager and assistant who also stood up, then walked past her and sat down in his own seat. He chatted quietly with the PD and brand representative sitting close by.

After greeting everyone, Kim Ji-Soo returned to her seat and sat there quietly, smiling serenely. Even though not many people were looking at her, she continued to smile as others were busy greeting and talking with Ji-Kyeong.

But if you look closely, you'll notice that her lips twitched slightly. Her eyes and eyebrows didn't seem as happy as the smile on her face. When she lowered her head unnoticed, she also wrinkled her nose very lightly for a moment.

Kim Ji-soo's heart was a little unsettled. After seeing each other by chance last year, the unusual circumstances left a deep impression on her memory. At that time, her mother also told her a lot about Park Gyung-won, making her impression of him very deep. Although it wasn't to the point where she would do anything special, in her spare time from practice and daily life, she often went out of her way to pay attention to EXO and Park Gyung-won.

Thinking about how she ranked high in the company's trainee beauty rankings, Jin Ji-soo had expected that the other party would at least have a deep impression of her. She was still a little excited on the way to the meeting just now, but when she met and greeted him, she realized, Park Gyeong-won didn't seem to recognize her at all. His gaze and polite smile showed that he didn't know her at all. It felt like she was just someone he would only meet once for a collaboration and then never see again, just an ordinary passerby to him.

Ugh... Kim Ji-soo glanced over there with the corner of her eye, muttering to herself in her heart, how could she, who had at least a first or second face connection, really become a complete stranger

This is too much! What a bad memory!

While a smile graced Jin Ji-soo's face, her mind was racing. The advertisement production meeting had begun. The PD first introduced everyone present, and after formal greetings, the brand representative began, as usual, to recount the brand's illustrious history and various virtues:

“Our ‘Sasonite’ brand was founded in 1910 by Mr. Jesse Schwartz in Colorado, USA. It has a history of over a hundred years. At that time, Mr. Schwartz wanted to give his new suitcase a nickname that symbolized the product's sturdiness and durability. Finally, from all his favorite heroes, he chose Samson from the Bible as the name to symbolize the product's characteristics.”

Turn on the projector and start playing the prepared PPT while giving a proud explanation.

“For years, our 'Sasonite New Exquisite' has been committed to the design, development and innovation of new products. We use innovative technology to develop high-quality, multi-functional, safe and reliable products designed according to ergonomics. At the same time, we collaborate with many designers to launch cross-border cooperation products……”

“This time, the ‘red’ series of bags that need to be filmed for advertising is our main brand in recent years. Compared with the serious style and emphasis on durability of the main brand, the ‘red’ series is more geared towards the style of young people, paying more attention to fashion sense and leisure style……”

“This time, we chose Kyung-won xi as our latest image ambassador because among all the young artists on the peninsula, Kyung-won xi is the best at embodying the combination of fashion, casualness, and elegance. It aligns perfectly with the main theme style of our 'red' series……”

This was followed by a shower of praise for Chi Jingyuan, recounting his illustrious history. Chi Jingyuan had heard such accolades countless times, leaving him unmoved. However, he wouldn't feign indifference with the speaker showering him with such compliments. Sensing the watchful eyes around him, he gave a slight, embarrassed smile and bowed politely.

After the new spokesperson finished speaking, ad director Kim Jae-Ryong began to explain the shooting process of this advertisement.

The entire plan is to shoot for two days. This time it's a complete series of promotional advertisements, including dynamic plot commercials that will be broadcast on television and static pictorial advertisements used for store promotion and display. In addition to the already written ad script, indoor sets need to be built, and outdoor location shooting for pictorials needs to be conducted separately. There are individual shots of male and female protagonists, as well as many collaborative shoots.

After detailed explanations, both Chik Kyungwon and Kim Ji-soo's teams took notes and were ready to officially begin filming. The indoor photography studio was conveniently located inside the advertising agency's office building. Everyone, accompanied by staff members, took the elevator directly to the pre-built set.

The staff on set are still busy, with many sample bags for shooting laid out on the nearby tables. Others walk around in between, looking very busy. The lighting and makeup artists each do their jobs. PD Jin Long took command of the scene as soon as he arrived.

'Xinxiu Li' is quite well-known in the luggage and leisure backpack market. Chi Jingyuan had heard of it before, but he felt that the brand's bags were just average. Whether it was the pattern or the shape, they seemed a bit too rigid. Even this time's 'red' series, which leaned towards a younger style, still looked a bit stiff. He felt that the style of these bags wasn't really his taste.

However, since he had signed the contract and received the payment, he definitely had to put in effort. After taking a glance, Chi Jingyuan went straight to the nearby makeup room for styling. He was very experienced with indoor pictorial ad shoots, and the shooting process was actually quite fast. He could usually easily give the director the feeling they wanted. The most troublesome part was actually changing the styling. Shooting an advertisement for a brand often required changing fifteen or so sets of clothes, and the hairstyle had to be changed three or four times.

Kim Ji-soo was also led by dy to the makeup room next door to start styling. Ji-seung glanced at her, and the two didn't communicate much.

After styling, the shoot officially began. First was the individual session. Ji Jingyuan stood in front of the backdrop, facing the light board and camera, holding a new-arriving Shureli bag and striking various poses.

"Turn around, it's good."

Looking at the camera, smile slightly less... ok!

"Change clothes and bag and continue..."

He changed his clothes for a while, then changed into another outfit and bag. Chi Jingyuan cooperated very well with the staff. Director Kim Jae-long said what he wanted him to do, and he would do it. He gave expressions and poses that met the other party's requirements very well. Judging from PD's expression, he should be quite satisfied.

Kim Ji-soo sat there wrapped in a coat, looking at Ji Seong Won. Her eyes blinked repeatedly, and her heart felt strangely new.

After Ji Jingyuan's personal pictorial shoot was finished, it was Kim Jisoo's turn. She sat

However, to be honest, this YG trainee did surprise him a little. He originally thought that this kind of newcomer who didn't debut and relied on the company's resources would definitely be troublesome, not knowing anything, and would have to be scolded by the PD and cry twice before getting on the right track. Unexpectedly, after watching her film for a while, he found that Kim Ji-soo didn't have too many rookie shyness and nervousness. Instead, she was quite open in front of the camera, and her talent was also pretty good. She didn't need the PD to correct her too much. A set of clothes was shot very smoothly.

Her smile is also quite unique. When she's not smiling and keeping her composure, because her features are well-proportioned, she gives off a cool vibe. But when she smiles brilliantly, her two nasolabial folds become a bit noticeable, but they don't make her look old, instead, it makes her appear approachable, quite suitable for commercials.

Besides her figure, which I won't mention, this Jisoo is truly gifted in terms of looks and smile. It's no wonder she landed several commercials even before debuting. Excluding other factors, YG's continuous promotion of her makes sense.

Ji Jingyuan looked at her for a long time, always feeling that there was something special about the girl's smile, different from Jiang Sheqi's when she was young, puffing out her cheeks and squinting her eyes, looking naive and silly. This Kim Ji-soo's smile was a little bit silly and cute.

"Come a little closer, Jisoo. Get a little closer to that side…"

When it came to couple photoshoots, things weren't as smooth as the individual shots. While Ji-yeong was fine and didn't seem bothered much, Ji-soo started to appear a bit nervous during some of the more intimate poses, lacking the same composure she had before.

Although it was clear she was putting in effort, trying to squeeze out a bright smile while inching closer to Chi Jingyuan's side, her hair and head were practically leaning against his shoulder.

Being so close, the scent of shampoo and perfume constantly wafted from Kim Ji-soo's body. Ji-won could even feel her warmth. Lowering his gaze, he wished he could see goosebumps on her thighs under her shorts.

He's really dedicated.

The photography in the studio wrapped up until nightfall. The remaining outdoor shooting, which requires specific lighting conditions, is estimated to take place tomorrow. After a brief dinner, the crew drove to another filming location for the main event: a television commercial.

This TV commercial was filmed in a rented underground parking lot. The parking lot had been cleared out to make a large area, and the original parked vehicles had been moved to another location. After the staff arrived, they immediately started setting up. Meanwhile, the two lead actors, Ji Sung and Kim Jisoo, gathered together and listened intently as PD Kim Jae-Ryong explained the shooting process in detail.

Both of them had already changed their clothes. 池景源's outfit was a casual jacket with a sweater underneath. While it wasn't very warm, it wasn't that cold either. 金智秀 was different. Her brown curly hair and burgundy long dress were undeniably beautiful, but in the frigid temperatures of Seoul in January, she couldn't bear it without her oversized down jacket. Without it, 池景源 estimated that this girl might freeze within minutes.

Perhaps he underestimated the opponent as well, after all, being able to withstand cold weather is a mandatory course for female idols from the peninsula. There are quite a few idols who perform on stage in short pants even in the middle of winter when it snows and the temperature drops several degrees below zero.

“The basic plot is that the two of you play a couple, and there will be a heated argument later. After the argument, Jisoo drives off directly in her car – the one over there, she’ll probably drive it...” Jin-long explained while pointing to the open-top car parked nearby.

"Inside, I've learned." Kim Ji-soo, wrapped in a puffy down jacket like a ball, nodded, her whole body trembling.

"Then that's settled..." Kim Jae-long nodded and continued, "Jisoo drives away, and then suddenly, you get up and start running after her. Jisoo thinks you've changed your mind and is very surprised to park and wait for you, with an eager expression as if waiting for you to say something. But all you do is grab the 'Miss Shinri' bag you left in the car, not even looking at Jisoo, then just walk away..."

"Haha, this setting is amazing, it's sure to leave a deep impression on the audience…" Hearing this plot outline, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but chuckle twice. Kim Ji-soo beside him also followed suit with a smile.

“Indeed, the plot has a lot of reversal appeal…… We won't shoot it sequentially but will break down the scenes and film them separately, which reduces the difficulty. In terms of expressions, Jisoo, your expressions are key. Whether it's anger, sadness, or excitement and anticipation, make them exaggerated, especially when you discover that the other person just wants a bag and doesn't even bother with you. You need to express the helplessness and self-deprecation of 'I'm not even worth as much as a bag'."

Kim Jae-dong finally summed it up: "You guys brainstorm beforehand, and we'll start shooting once the set is ready."

Both of them responded in unison. Since the afternoon, Ji Jingyuan and Kim Ji-soo had cooperated and interacted with each other many times, so they were a little familiar with each other. They looked at each other, smiled, and then returned to their own positions to wait for the start of the shoot.

“Ready, action!” With everything ready, under the command of director Kim Jin-woo, the official shooting began. First, they filmed Park Ji-won running wildly and individual shots of each actor, and finally it was time for their confrontation scene.

Ji Jingyuan and Kim Ji-xiu stood opposite each other beside the convertible. He looked at her with a cold and impatient gaze, his eyes under the fringe full of helplessness and boredom, while Kim Ji-xiu kept scratching her hair, her expression rich and exaggerated. The couple, who were having a fight, directly appeared in front of everyone.

This is the fifth time they've filmed this scene. The previous takes were all ruined by various mishaps and moments of laughter, most of which were caused by Kim Ji-Soo bursting into laughter during her scenes with the other actors.

With a forceful shove and harsh words, Kim Ji-soo angrily opened the car door and drove away.

"Good job, this time!" As the car drove out of the camera's focus, Jin Goo stopped it just in time and clapped his hands with great satisfaction. Kim Ji-soo quickly stepped on the brakes to get out of the car, and the assistant rushed forward with a down jacket to put it on her immediately.

She shivered a little from the cold after only a short while.

We rested for a bit, then watched the footage we had just shot together. The director gave us some feedback and then we continued filming.

After Kim Ji-soo angrily drove away, Park Kyung-won chased after her. When she saw him, she stopped the car and he came back to apologize, waiting for him with surprise and relief.

It's a pity that when Chi Jingyuan arrived at the convertible, he put his hands on the car door and glass, panting slightly. He met Jin Zhixiu's expectant eyes, but remained unmoved. He acted as if he hadn't seen anything, reached out to take the bag, slung it over his shoulder, and walked away. Before he even took a step, he saw the expression on Jin Zhixiu's face—a mixture of uncertainty, amusement, self-deprecating humor, and anger. He twitched at the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Poof... haha... Mi ah ne mi ah ne..."

No, how can this girl's expressions be so vivid and wonderful Have you ever had a similar experience in reality It doesn't feel like acting.

He quickly apologized to the staff and, holding back a smile, glanced at Kim Ji-soo. In his heart, he thought she was quite interesting.

We filmed all night and finally wrapped up around 3 am. There's still a little bit left, plus some outdoor shots for the magazine, which we'll do tomorrow... We'll come back to film again this morning.

After the staff bid their farewells, Ji-won headed to the parking lot with his manager and assistant. While standing at the entrance waiting for their car, Kim Ji-soo unexpectedly appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. Her manager didn't seem to be around either.

Because her clothes were a little thin, she kept her hands in her pockets and pulled her jacket tightly flat. She kept stepping on the spot to warm up her legs, and you could clearly see white smoke coming out of her mouth with every breath. The temperature was really low at this time.

"Um... Yuan... Senior..." After standing there for a few seconds, seeing that Ji-seong didn't show any intention of greeting him first, Kim Jisoo hesitated for a few seconds before taking the initiative to speak. Her eyes tentatively lifted upwards, eyeing Ji-seong's profile.

After hearing the sound, Chi Jingyuan wasn't surprised. He turned to face the other person, blinked his eyes, and waited for what they had to say.

"Senior…" Kim Ji-soo pondered for a few seconds, waiting until the sound of a car engine starting came from over there before making her decision: "Maybe, we could exchange contact information"

Although the other party doesn't remember her, she actually has a pretty good impression of Chi Jingyuan. After working together for a whole day today and getting to know each other more, her previous good impression has been further enhanced. Plus, she learned some insider information from Oh Ma, which made her even more interested in him.

There's not much else to it, making friends and expanding your network is good. After all this time in YG, Kim Jisoo certainly has a deep understanding of the importance of connections and background.

"Haven't we met somewhere before" Ji Jingyuan tilted his head and looked up and down at Kim Jisoo in front of him. Just as the other party was slightly moved, her eyes lit up, and she seemed about to say something, he shrugged and casually pointed with his mouth: "Forget it..."

He reached out and gently patted Kim Ji-soo's shoulder, and Ji-Seong said kindly, "It's so cold today, why don't you wear more clothes Fighting!"

With a fist pump, Ji-seong smiled and turned to leave towards the waiting van, leaving Kim Ji-soo standing in the cold wind, her mouth open as if trying to say something but unable to find the words, a lump stuck in her throat.
