This actor has something

Chapter 466 This movie was worth making!
The atmosphere on set was slightly tense.

On his first day, the villainous male lead confronted the director, whispering and neither giving way to the other.

"Listen to me, film it the way I say. Don't look at me like that. I brought you in as director so you could do me a favor, not go against me. Here's what we'll do: do today's scene the way I say it, and I'll do whatever you say for the rest."

Behind the camera, He Daqi and Yin Jijun both frowned. There was no one within five meters of them, but a group of people five meters away were straining to hear them. Unfortunately, the two of them were speaking in very low voices, making it impossible for the others to hear them clearly.

It looked like an argument, but also like a serious discussion. If it weren't for the displeasure on their faces, one would have thought they were discussing a script.

Hearing He Daqi's suggestion, Yin Jijun was slightly tempted, but then he came back to his senses and shook his head in rejection: "The scene you're talking about is having these girl group members all smiling and lining up to show off in front of you. Do you think that's possible? Forced into this situation by rich kids, how can these girls still smile?"

"Why not? It's precisely because I forced them that they can only put on a smile and show themselves. Otherwise, this scumbag of mine would have been ruthless. Besides, with so much money right here, the feeling of being enslaved by money is just what it's all about."

He Daqi was a little annoyed. If he weren't friends with Yoon Je-joon, and if any other South Korean director dared to argue with him, He Daqi would have already started to show his displeasure.

Do you even know who's going to carry this movie's box office? My reputation is already so bad, and you still dare to talk back to me?

Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is that He Daqi was feeling guilty and wanted to finish filming this scene as soon as possible.

Why did he choose to film this scene as his first act upon arriving in South Korea? It was precisely to minimize the impact and finish filming this scene early, so that he could film the rest however he wanted.

Vivian Chow has become lazy, not that she has stopped caring.

She's just keeping the kids entertained at home right now, but I reckon she'll still have to come and check on the movie when it's halfway through filming.

If this scene had been filmed later, Zhou Huimin would have misunderstood He Daqi's various arrangements, thinking that He Daqi was playing tricks in South Korea. In that case, the producer might have made sure that the shot He Daqi wanted wasn't filmed the way he envisioned.

This is not possible!

That's why Ho Tai-kai specifically arranged for this to be the first scene; he didn't care about anything else, he made sure the plot couldn't be changed.

Seeing that He Daqi's expression was getting increasingly impatient, Yin Jijun couldn't continue arguing. However, in order to save face for the director, he finally said loudly, "Okay, just shoot it as I said. Have the actresses keep smiling, but they should express their fear through their bodies, with their hands or bodies trembling."

After finishing his sentence, Yin Jijun stopped arguing with He Daqi and started making arrangements with the megaphone.

He Daqi pursed his lips, not quite agreeing with what Yin Jijun said. For no other reason than that it was a bit much to ask a group of newly debuted girl group members to act out a fearful yet smiling face. These girls might not even know how to find the camera.

He Daqi was too lazy to remind him. He guessed that Yin Jijun was just talking nonsense, so he got up and walked around from behind the camera to the front of the camera.

As the filming began, He Daqi's demeanor instantly changed. He comfortably lay back on the sofa, his left leg crossed over his right, a cryptic smile playing on his lips—a smile that was both playful and mocking. He lazily looked ahead, perfectly embodying the image of a rich second-generation heir who had grown tired of all sorts of tricks.

Women love bad boys. The neighbor's older brother image was already charming enough, but this slightly crazy, bad image is making it even harder for girls to resist.

If it weren't for the fact that it was his first time filming a movie and he was a little timid, plus the fact that he was going to take off his clothes and only wear a strapless top and shorts, and he was a little shy, these girls would have already surrounded He Daqi and kept chattering.

"The Veteran, Act III, Shot I, Action!"

……

……

He Daqi opened his eyes, suddenly sat up, grabbed the water glass from the bedside table, and gulped it down.

Just as he imagined, the camera used a forced perspective technique during filming, so the girls were all wearing strapless tops and shorts. But once they got to the simulation training space, they were completely naked.

Young and beautiful girls are such rare finds!
Despite his hard work and effort, He Daqi only managed to care for five girls quickly. At that rate, it would take at least a week to care for thirty or so girls.

That's a really tough task.

After getting out of bed, going to the bathroom, washing up, and having a beef soup for breakfast, He Daqi slowly drove to the film set.

Unlike yesterday, when He Daqi was in a hurry to film the scenes he wanted, he was incredibly arrogant. Apart from greeting Chairman Li and Yin Jijun, he spent the rest of the time chatting with the girls and ignored everyone else in the crew.

Today was different. He Daqi was all smiles and in a good mood. He smiled and nodded at everyone he met, whether he knew them or not. It didn't stop He Daqi from showing his good mood.

"You change your tune so fast..."

When Yoon Jae-joon saw that He Da-ki was like a completely different person, he suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have accepted the script because of the high pay.

What kind of person is He Daqi? Everyone has a different image of him, but in Yin Jijun's eyes, He Daqi is definitely not a good person.

The two met at a concert by Vivian Chow. At that time, Ho Ta-chi almost drove Yin Chi-chun crazy. Not to mention that they met up several times afterward, Ho Ta-chi didn't leave a good impression.

If it weren't for Ho Ta-ki specifically asking him to take on this film, and Seagate offering a high fee, Yin Ji-jun would definitely not have worked with Ho Ta-ki if he had the choice. Before Ho Ta-ki became so famous, Yin Ji-jun was quite willing to work with him, but that was before.

"Aren't you going to introduce me to the other actors? At least let me know who I'm acting opposite. Right now, I only know the butler, and I don't recognize any of the others." He Daqi said with a smile, just as if he wasn't the one who was too lazy to talk to the others yesterday.

Yoon Je-joon was cursing inwardly, "Why didn't you do this sooner? Why weren't you so enthusiastic yesterday?"

However, He Daqi is right. He should indeed be introduced to other people, otherwise he won't be able to act with them.

So the two of them strolled around the set. When they saw the warm and friendly He Daqi, the other actors were quite confused. They guessed that He Daqi had just arrived yesterday and had other things to take care of, so they hadn't rushed to greet each of them.

As they were strolling around, a red sedan stopped at the entrance of the film set, and Sun Yizhen got out of the car.

From afar, he waved to the cheerful He Daqi: "Daqi!"

He Daqi's eyes lit up. The longer he knew Sun Yizhen, the more charming she became. Now, with Sun Yizhen standing there smiling, He Daqi felt a burning sensation in his heart.

"Noona! Haha, you weren't on set when I came yesterday, and I also had things to do yesterday, so I didn't bother you. How about we have a drink together tonight?"

"Has your wife and kids arrived yet?" Sun Yizhen's eyes curved like a crescent moon.

"not coming."

"I won't go then, we'll talk about it when they arrive." Sun Yizhen rolled her eyes at He Daqi, suppressing a laugh as she spoke.

"If you don't want to go, then you don't have to go," He Daqi said casually. If he were truly wicked, he only needed to spend two days in the "Outing" simulation training space, then modify the simulation training settings and enable the simulation experience option for designated candidates. He could probably make Sun Yi feel like she was dying for days, crying and begging to drink with He Daqi.

It's been a long time since we've updated Son Ye-jin's version; the latest one is still "April Snow." We did work together on "The Host" later, but Son Ye-jin played He Dae-ki's sister in that film.

So the version that He Daqi is using in the simulation training space now is still the version of Son Ye-jin with the wife attributes in "April Snow".

In this new film, Son Ye-jin plays the male lead's wife, who also has the attributes of a married woman. However, unlike "April Snow," where the two were having an affair, in "April Snow," her character carries a sense of resistance. Although the evil villain ultimately fails in the story, He Daqi is not afraid of it.

Thinking of this, He Daqi felt a surge of excitement. The new version of Sun Yizhen is really something! This movie really made the right choice!

However, He Daqi soon started thinking about other things.

It seems I haven't had any free time for the past week, and there are about thirty beautiful young women waiting for me. It's really hard to choose!

We can only schedule Son Ye-jin for a week later.

"Daqi, are you feeling unwell?" Sun Yi was speechless as she watched He Daqi's expression change repeatedly in front of her.

Just because I didn't agree to go drinking with you, you're already throwing a tantrum? Are you really planning something bad while Vivian Chow isn't here?
"What a pity, Nuna, you can only get an appointment a week from now."

"What, a week later?"

"...I said I'd drink."

……

……

I wasn't scheduled to drink for another week.

He Daqi and Sun Yizhen were sitting in a private room at a restaurant right at the start of the weekend.

Unfortunately, there were other people in the private room besides the two of them.

He Daqi clinked glasses with Liu Zaishi and downed his drink in one gulp. He had to be bold, since Korean liquor cups aren't very big, and the alcohol content of the soju here isn't high. One sip was only slightly stronger than a beer.

"Brother Zaishi, Chairman Li has shown you the variety show plan, right?"

"I've seen it. Daqi, the variety show you're making is really interesting. But I'm currently working on Family Outing and Infinite Challenge, so I really don't have the energy to participate in any new variety shows."

Liu Zaishi said with a regretful expression that he really thought He Daqi had done a good job with the Running Man variety show project. If he weren't so busy right now, Liu Zaishi would definitely have participated.

"It's okay, there's no rush. This variety show won't start preparations until next year. Maybe you'll have time then, Brother Zaishi."

He Daqi glanced at the film library data. Family Outing? It seems to be canceled next year. No wonder the original Running Man is starting next year. He's shamelessly using someone else's original project to find a partner.

Liu Zaishi did not understand the other meaning in He Daqi's words, and took it as He Daqi's casual remark.

However, he didn't want to continue discussing this matter, so he changed the subject and turned the conversation to the other people in the private room.

"Da Qi, it's been a long time since you've seen Zhong Guo, hasn't it?"

"That's true. Not only Chung-guk hyung, haha, but Hyori noona has also been out of the public eye for a long time. I know Chung-guk hyung doesn't drink. Come on, haha, Hyori noona, let's have a drink."

Ding!
The wine glasses clinked.

After finishing his drink, He Daqi recalled watching the show "Family Outing" earlier, where it seemed that the four people in front of him were present. No wonder he invited Liu Zaishi out for a get-together, and he brought these three along.

"Brother Zaishi just mentioned Family Outing, I haven't actually watched it. How is this variety show different from Infinite Challenge?" He Daqi asked, trying to make conversation.

Upon hearing He Daqi's question, Haha immediately perked up: "Daqi, why don't you come and try out an episode? We have new guests every episode, so why don't you and Sun Yizhen pick a time and come play for an episode?"

"No, I really don't have time."

He Daqi refused without hesitation. He was just making a small talk, but he never expected Haha to start dreaming. Not only did she invite him, she also wanted to include Sun Yizhen.

"Sorry, I don't really want to participate in variety shows lately." Seeing that He Daqi's refusal was too abrupt, Sun Yizhen quickly followed suit with a smile.

"Daqi and Yizhen are currently filming a movie, so he probably squeezed in this get-together with us today. In addition, Daqi's status is indeed quite high now. Our family's Birth is not doing well in terms of ratings, so there is not much benefit for Daqi to come. As for the guest appearance fee, we can't afford Daqi's fee, so we really can't invite him right now."

Liu Zaishi dismissed Haha's wild idea, and as he spoke, his face became full of worry. It seems that the birth of their new variety show family did not meet their expectations.

After Liu Zaishi finished speaking, he sighed, drank a glass of wine by himself, and the rest of the people, including Haha, Jin Zhongguo, and Li Xiaoli, also looked somber.

"So, Brother Zaishi, you should really take that variety show project I mentioned seriously and get ready as soon as possible. Who knows, all the people who are with you now on Family Outing might be able to join the new variety show."

He Daqi's persuasion lacked sincerity. Knowing the outcome, he wasn't in a hurry at all. Besides, the reason he invited Liu Zaishi out today wasn't about Running Man, so he wasn't focusing on that.

“Okay, I’ll take another look at the Running Man project later,” Liu Zaishi nodded in agreement.

"Brother Zaishi, there's something else I'd like to ask you."

"Da Qi, you speak."

"In the future, when you're filming variety shows, if any unexpected new guests or big stars appear, especially the handsome ones, when you're guessing each other's names, could you guess mine first?"
For example, today on Family Outing, a popular male idol came. During the introduction, Jae-seok said, "We have a really hot guest today, he's super handsome!" Then Chung-guk immediately asked, "Is it He Da-qi?" Then you all jumped and cheered, only to find out it wasn't me. But that didn't stop you from welcoming the new guest.

After He Daqi finished speaking, the people in the private room twitched at the corners of their mouths and looked at him strangely.

Liu Zaishi suppressed a laugh and said, "Don't worry about that. If Daqi wants this kind of effect, we can do it every episode."

"Thanks, Brother Zaishi. Maybe if you guys keep asking, I'll actually go and record an episode." He Daqi said with a smile, raising his glass.
