Chapter 26 The Director Added a Scene
I waited for a long time but didn’t hear the director say anything and still failed.

Jin Qixuan felt a little uneasy and asked cautiously:

"Senior-nim, the director won't blame me for adding lines without your permission, right?"

“No, I think it’s pretty good.”

Cha Tae-hyun shook his head:
"Sometimes, a sudden idea in your head may make the plot more interesting."

"Inside."

After getting Cha Tae-hyun's answer, Jin Qixuan felt a lot more at ease.

After watching the playback, the director thought for a while and shouted on the radio, asking the two to redo it according to the original version first.

In the third shot, after the second take, the director compared the two clips and finally chose the version with Jin Qixuan's added lines.

Jin Qixuan was happy to hear that the director would use the first version.

But before Jin Qixuan could get his tail up, Cha Tae-hyun gave him a serious and earnest instruction:

"Next time you have this kind of idea, you'd better find out what the director likes first, otherwise it will easily backfire."

Some directors like actors to be spiritual and to be able to perform things beyond the script.

But some directors like obedient actors. No matter whether they are the best actor or the best TV actor, they are just his tools. What they want is for them to recreate the pictures in their minds.

Obviously, this director's style belongs to the former.

"Yes, thank you for your teachings, Senior."

After this shot was completed, only the final scene with Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun remained.

"Fifth mirror, first time, ready, 3.2.1 start."

"Clap."

The stagehand claps and the shooting begins.

Jin Qixuan carried the food back to the car and handed it to Cindy.

Before she even received the food, Cindy started complaining about why Jin Qixuan had been gone for so long...

Jin Qixuan was tactful enough not to say anything and started the car silently.

"Ah, are you crazy?"

Cindy opened the plastic bag and laughed. She pointed at Jin Qixuan with the seaweed rice roll:
"You let me eat carbohydrates so late at night, do you want me to be swollen like Anpanman and dance tomorrow?"

"Ani, the PD of Two Days and One Night bought it for you."

Cindy, who was getting angry, was stunned:
"The PD of 'Two Days and One Night'? Is he my fan?"

"No."

Seeing Cindy's face instantly turn cold through the rearview mirror, Jin Qixuan hurriedly explained:
"He and Representative Bian are sworn enemies."

"Enemy? If he is Representative Bian's enemy, why would he buy me food?"

Jin Qixuan was petty and did not convey Luo Junmo's original words that he felt sorry for her, but instead changed the subject vaguely:
"I don't know, but Cindy, do you want to listen to some music?"

"Ah, just play a random song."

"Cut, pass."

"Jin Qixuanxi, drive the car back. The camera is not turned off, you don't need to perform, IUxi can just eat the food for real on the road."

"Inside." x2
Jin Qixuan opened Melon, searched for IU, connected to the car Bluetooth, and played "Besides Spring Love and Cherry Blossoms".

Then he turned on the turn signal and turned back to KBS TV station.

Hearing her own song in the back seat, Lee Ji-eun's mouth corners slightly raised and she tapped the beat lightly with her feet.

After listening for a while, IU opened the package, picked up the seaweed rice roll, looked at the night view outside the window, and chewed slowly.

Twenty minutes later, the car drove back to KBS TV station.

Jin Qixuan turned to Li Zhien and said:
“IU, do you like eating?”

"how do you know?"

"When you were eating just now, your face was filled with a happy and satisfied smile, just like at noon. Although it was very beautiful, it was... a bit out of place."

Li Zhien slapped her forehead and sighed:
"Oh my god, it's so hard to keep a cold face while eating!"

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she asked Jin Qixuan:

"Carbs make people feel happy, right?"

"That's right, carbs plus carbs equals double the happiness."

This is why South Koreans like to eat instant noodles with rice.

Li Zhien's eyes were shining brightly, and she began to guide Jin Qixuan: "As an artist who has not eaten carbohydrates for many years, will you feel satisfied when you suddenly eat carbohydrates?"

"Will do."

Jin Qixuan had to admit this. He felt very happy when eating rice at noon.

Li Zhien clapped her hands:
"Yeah, that makes sense, doesn't it?"

"but……"

Jin Qixuan paused and said, "It's useless for you to convince me. I'm not the director."

Li Zhien leaned forward and pointed at the camera fixed on the car with a smile:

"The director will hear it when he watches the playback."

After parking the car, the staff who came to take over said that Lee Ji-eun could go home, but Kim Ki-hyun would have to wait for a while.

Jin Qixuan looked at his watch and it was almost ten o'clock.

He arrived at around 8 o'clock in the morning and was still off work at 10 o'clock in the evening. If you didn't know, you would think that Jin Qixuan was the leading actor.

"Excuse me, any other instructions?"

"The director decided to add a little Easter egg for you."

"real!?"

"Really, PDnim is filming the 15th scene at Cha Tae Hyun xi's place, and an FD will come to film with you in a while."

"Yes, Kangsanhamida."

Seeing the staff leave, Li Zhien smiled and patted Jin Qixuan's shoulder:

"Hey, behave yourself later."

"Inside~"

"Oh, by the way, wait for me here for a while."

After saying that, Lee Ji-eun walked into the convenience store where the video was recorded.

After a while, she staggered towards Jin Qixuan carrying two extra-large plastic bags.

"It's heavy. Come on."

"This is……?"

"A greeting gift from a close friend."

IU handed him the bag and shook her hands to relieve the pain on her palms that were strangled and unable to bleed.

Jin Qixuan opened the plastic bag, which contained various foods and snacks.

According to Jin Qixuan's appetite, these things are enough for him to eat for two weeks.

“Why did you buy these?”

"Don't be too moved, I'm leaving."

finished,

Lee Ji-eun left Kim Ki-hyeon with a chic back and waved to him with her back to him.

No, I'm not touched at all!
I can’t eat any of the snacks you bought!!!
Just as Jin Qixuan was complaining in his heart, a voice came from FD:
"Jin Qixuanxi, come to record."

"Inside!"

The little easter eggs continue the filming style of "My Love from the Star", adding interest to the overall plot.

Jin Qixuan's content is to evaluate Cindy as a person.

"Ready, 3.2.1 begins!"

Jin Qixuan smiled and said seriously:

"Our Cindy has a very good temper and is gentle and kind to others. In her free time, she often goes to the community (welfare home) to volunteer."

"You don't believe it? Haha, I don't believe it either. Ahem...wait a minute, this part won't be broadcast, right?"

After receiving the affirmative answer from the director, Jin Qixuan breathed a sigh of relief:
"She's actually very gentle. For example, she would whisper to me the dangers of loud breathing... Alas... I didn't cry, I just had sand in my eyes..."

"Cut. Jin Qixuanxi, you have worked hard. Today's filming is over and you can go home now."

After FD called for a stop, he applauded Jin Qixuan.

Compared with other filming teams, Jin Qixuan's team only has him and the FD, which is very desolate.

"Yes, Kang Sang Hamidar, thank you for your hard work, bye."
