Chapter 1499 is missing.
The air inside the church seemed to still be frozen in that sense of relief and gentleness. Chi Jingyuan sat in the dappled sunlight, his hands hanging limply on the seat, a faint smile still lingering on his face.
That faint smile, however, possessed a power that penetrated the heart.
The close-up shot held his face firmly in place, revealing not only the relief of reconciliation and the fulfillment of redemption, but also a subtle hint of joy.
That was Jung Bar-rin's hope for the next life, flowing silently before the camera:
In my next life, I want to be an ordinary person.
According to the script, the story should have ended here, but behind the camera, Ahn Gil-ho was unconsciously lost in thought, his hand gripping the walkie-talkie tightening slightly, and he even forgot to call "cut".
The entire venue was silent. All the staff seemed to be affected, immersed in this extreme emotion. Some people's eyes were secretly red, and some people clenched their clothes tightly, not daring to breathe too heavily, for fear of disturbing this sacred ending.
A few seconds later, Ahn Gil-ho suddenly came to his senses, his face instantly filled with undisguised excitement and exhilaration. He roared into the walkie-talkie, "Cut! Perfect! Absolutely perfect!"
The shouts broke the silence of the church, but Chi Jingyuan remained kneeling in place with his eyes closed, seemingly still immersed in Zheng Balin's emotions and not yet fully recovered.
Beside him, the child playing the young Jung Ba-rin stood quietly in his designated spot, looking up at him with a somewhat bewildered expression.
At that moment, a crisp applause suddenly rang out from the crowd, breaking the brief silence.
"Clap clap~"
Immediately afterwards, applause surged forth like a tide, growing louder and more enthusiastic, carrying praise, respect, and excitement, resounding throughout the entire church.
The lively commotion slowly pulled Chi Jingyuan back from his role. He opened his eyes, the confusion in them gradually fading. He turned to look at the young actor beside him, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and reached out to gently pat his head.
Then, he leaned on the stool and slowly stood up. His back still carried some lingering fatigue, and his emotions had not completely dissipated. There seemed to be a sense of relief and vicissitude between his brows.
"I hereby announce that filming for Zheng Balin has officially wrapped!"
At this moment, Ahn Gil-ho strode forward, his voice filled with relief and excitement, and loudly announced to the entire audience.
The applause reached another climax. Meeting everyone's gaze, Chi Jingyuan offered a gentle smile, bowed slightly, and thanked all the staff present.
"Kamsammida~, thank you all for your hard work during this time."
As soon as he stepped off the filming location, apart from his assistant, Ahn Gil-ho, the producer, and several other key members of the production team immediately surrounded him, their faces beaming with excitement, praising him one after another.
"Jingyuan, your performance just now was so powerful!"
Ahn Gil-ho patted him on the shoulder, his voice excited: "I knew you could do it, I knew you could do it! You really found that feeling and brought Jung Ba-rin to life!"
"Once the show airs, your performance will definitely become a hot topic. I feel this role will become a classic!" It seems that Ahn Gil-ho is more confident than Ji Kyung-won himself.
The producer nodded repeatedly, his face full of confidence: "Yes, Jingyuan, with your ending, the whole drama feels elevated! We were already very confident about this drama, and now after watching your scene, I'm even more certain."
"Dude, that's way too much... It's mainly thanks to the director's excellent guidance~"
Hearing the praise from everyone, Chi Jingyuan smiled and pretended to be modest.
He had truly immersed himself in Zheng Balin's feelings, and the exhaustion from not having rested all night had also taken hold of him.
He could say that he truly made a breakthrough in this scene.
Although he felt he had acted well, he didn't have a benchmark. Seeing everyone saying he acted very well gave him a better idea of what he was doing.
Hearing the praise from the director and producer made him feel much happier... He himself was actually very happy to be able to play the role of Zheng Balin well.
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked up, and through the crowd, his gaze fell on Kim Ji-won, who was not far away.
Kim Ji-won was standing not far away, chuckling as she watched him.
Their eyes met, and she smiled even more broadly, raising her right hand and giving him a thumbs-up.
……
Although Ji Kyung-won's scenes have officially wrapped up, as the male lead of the drama, he did not leave immediately but chose to stay with the crew.
After his scenes were completed, the entire series was about to come to an end, with only one or two scenes left to explain the fates of Wu Fengyi, Gao Wuzhi, and others after Zheng Balin's death, thus bringing the series to a complete close.
The filming proceeded as scheduled the following day.
Lee Hee-joon, playing the role of Go Moo-chi, stands alone in a cemetery in a police uniform, his gaze solemn as he stares at the rows of tombstones before him... the graves of all the victims who died at the hands of Jung Ba-rin.
The camera slowly pans and finally settles on a simple tombstone with no extra words, only a simple name.
That's Zheng Balin's grave... Although Gao Wuzhi said he would never forgive you, in the end, he still gave a simple burial to this person he had once treated sincerely and regarded as his own brother.
This wicked man, who was now filled with unbearable pain and genuine remorse, was ultimately buried alongside those he had harmed. What a scoundrel.
The camera slowly zooms out, the outline of the cemetery gradually blurs, and the filming of "The Spy" officially comes to an end.
"I hereby announce that filming for the entire series 'The Spy' has officially wrapped!"
Ahn Gil-ho raised his hands, his voice filled with excitement, and shouted to all the staff present.
"Oh oh oh~"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crew erupted in cheers. Everyone shed their fatigue from the past few days, cheering and celebrating, their faces beaming with ease and joy.
After filming together for so long under pressure, everyone is really exhausted.
Chi Jingyuan moved through the crowd, bowing and greeting each actor and staff member with a gentle smile, repeatedly saying "Thank you for your hard work."
The staff also congratulated him and thanked him for his hard work and cooperation during this period.
After expressing his gratitude to everyone, Chi Jingyuan came to the side and looked at the lively scene before him, feeling a mix of emotions.
This is his first collaboration with Netflix, and while it might be a bit inappropriate to say it, it is certainly the show he has put the most effort into compared to his previous works.
Since embarking on his acting career, he has played a variety of roles, but most of them have remained within the realm of idol and handsome persona.
This is his first time trying such a complex role as Jung Ba-rin, a murderer born with a perverted gene, who struggles and sinks into depravity, and finally achieves self-redemption in remorse.
This filming experience was a completely new experience and attempt for him, as well as a huge challenge.
From initially figuring out the character and immersing himself in the emotions, to later feeling completely at ease, and finally to this difficult yet fulfilling ending scene, he truly devoted a great deal of time and energy.
However, this experience also brought him a lot of gains, allowing his acting skills to reach new heights, enabling him to better control these complex and deep emotions, and to better understand how to delve into the soul of a character.
In the evening, the crew held a wrap dinner. Everyone gathered at the restaurant to celebrate the successful completion of filming for "Spying". Ji Kyung-won was seated at the head table, next to Ahn Gil-ho, the producer, and several key members of the crew.
He was the only actor at the table. After all, compared to the other actors, he was not only the male lead, but also one of the key figures who brought the show together.
Once everyone had arrived and before they were about to eat, the producer raised his glass first, a broad smile on his face, and addressed the entire room:
"Today, we have successfully wrapped up filming for 'The Spy,' which is inseparable from the hard work and dedication of everyone present! Cheers!"
"cheers!"
Everyone in the room raised their glasses and shouted in unison.
After putting down their wine glasses, everyone began to eat. The people at the main table chatted as they ate, and the topic naturally turned to the sequel to "The Spy".
"We've finally wrapped up filming... Now, we'll fully focus on post-production."
The producer took a sip of his drink: "If everything goes smoothly, our show will probably be released on the platform in early or mid-April."
"So fast?"
Chi Jingyuan was slightly surprised upon hearing this.
The producer smiled and waved his hand, his tone full of confidence: "The main reason is that our filming went too smoothly. All the shots were filmed strictly according to the script, and there weren't many places that needed to be reshot or modified, so we didn't have to worry too much about the editing, and the progress was naturally fast."
He paused, then added, "Speaking of which, we originally planned to wrap up filming in April, but the progress was much faster than expected. Today is only March 24th, and we've already successfully wrapped up filming."
Chi Jingyuan was listening to everyone's conversation with a smile, his face full of ease, but when he heard the words "March 24th", a strange look suddenly flashed across his face.
He seemed to remember something, and his smile faltered.
However, he didn't say anything. After a while, he left his seat under the pretext of going to the restroom, took out his phone, thought for a moment, and typed a short message:
Happy birthday!
Then they returned to the table and continued chatting and laughing.
I haven't received a reply for a long time.
…………
Meanwhile, in JYP's meeting room, the Twice members were sitting and waiting. The meeting had not officially started yet, and the members were chatting casually together.
Son Chaeyoung sat to the side, holding her phone, and was enthusiastically sharing something with Chou Tzuyu, Mina, and the others:
"...I've recently become very interested in tattoos and want to try it out. What do you guys think?"
As she spoke, she opened a picture on her phone and handed it to the group.
"Um……"
Chou Tzu-yu leaned closer, blinked, and carefully examined the pattern on the picture, a troubled look on her face.
She had no interest in tattoos to begin with, and was even somewhat averse to them; none of the designs in the pictures looked good to her.
Mina smiled and leaned closer, looking intently at the pattern on her phone, and began discussing it with Chaeyoung: "This star pattern is quite pretty, rather delicate, and not over the top; but this vine pattern is also nice, very unique, it's just a bit too big."
The two were chatting enthusiastically, and Chou Tzu-yu, sitting to the side, listened to their discussion and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Tattoos...don't they hurt?"
"It's alright,"
Sun Caiying waved her hand dismissively, her tone relaxed: "I specifically asked her, and she said it's just a little stinging, similar to getting a shot, and tolerable."
As she spoke, she turned her eyes and looked at Tzuyu: "Tzuyu, do you want to experience it?"
"do not want!"
Without a second thought, Chou Tzu-yu immediately shook her head and firmly refused.
After she finished speaking, she paused again: "My parents don't let me do these things, and..."
She didn't say the rest.
What she meant was that, and she knew Mr. Chi also disliked this, she wouldn't do it.
Son Chaeyoung had only asked casually, wanting to tease Chou Tzu-yu.
Upon hearing her refusal, Son Chaeyoung simply smiled and nodded, ceasing her teasing, and instead began discussing the details of the tattoo with Mina.
Upon hearing this, Mina secretly glanced at Tzuyu.
Although Chou Tzu-yu didn't finish her sentence, she instantly understood what the black girl meant.
She knew that Chi Jingyuan wasn't interested in tattoos and that he usually respected his friends' preferences without commenting too much.
But if it were his girlfriend, he would explicitly refuse.
Hehe~
Mina grinned: "It might be interesting if it has commemorative significance, but..."
Her eyes crinkled into a smile: "I'm a little afraid of pain~"
She phrased it rather euphemistically... but coincidentally, her true feelings were almost exactly the same as Chou Tzu-yu's, both stemming from family and the person they liked.
Sun Caiying only chatted casually, without asking any further questions, and immediately continued talking about the patterns with great interest:
"...A couple of days ago, my friend introduced me to a tattoo artist. I heard he's pretty good."
As the group was chatting animatedly, the meeting room door was suddenly pushed open, and the company representative and the department head walked in side by side.
The previously noisy conference room instantly fell silent. The girls sat up straight, their playful expressions fading, and their faces became serious.
The meeting started quickly, mainly about Twice's upcoming second tour, named TWICELAND ZONE 2: Fantasy Par.
The concert had been hyped up for over a week, and tickets for the Seoul show sold out almost immediately after going on sale, proving Twice's immense popularity.
"The Seoul show was just the beginning."
The minister smiled and took out a stack of documents, distributing them to each member. "The response and speed of this ticket sale have boosted the company's confidence, and we have adjusted the number of shows outside the peninsula. We will be going to several countries and regions to perform in the future. You can take a look at the specific arrangements."
Upon hearing this, the members took the materials and began to read them carefully.
Sana Minatozaki quickly flipped through the pages, her sharp eyes catching the word "Osaka." It was in July, and there were two shows. Her lips immediately curled up, her eyes sparkled, and she was filled with anticipation.
The joy and pride of returning to one's hometown to hold a concert, and having friends and family in the audience, is something no one can resist.
Chou Tzu-yu, who was standing next to her, quickly picked up the documents and eagerly scanned them from top to bottom, her eyes fixed on the name of each city.
Seoul, Saitama, Osaka, Singapore, Bangkok...
After browsing around, she couldn't find the name of any city in Taiwan, not even Taipei.
Ever since she learned that there would be a second tour, she has been looking forward to the opportunity to return to Taiwan to hold a concert. She had seen Ji Kyung-won and XO frequently holding concerts in Taipei, and she was filled with envy. She also hoped that she could bring Twice's stage back to her hometown and let her hometown fans see their performance.
I had been looking forward to it, but when I saw the company's arrangements, I was immediately overwhelmed with disappointment. My expectations were instantly dashed, and the light in my eyes dimmed. I pursed my lips awkwardly.
She quietly lowered her head, silently comforting herself that it was okay.
...Anyway, this is only the second tour, maybe we'll do a third one next year.
Twice is so popular right now, there's definitely no problem.
She silently repeated the words to herself, trying to suppress the disappointment in her heart and not let the people around her notice her emotions.
The concert was discussed at length, including cooperation with the concert company, rehearsal arrangements, and confirmation of show dates. Later, the filming of the comeback music video was also mentioned.
After the meeting, they returned to the practice room and chatted excitedly.
"Mina, do you have any birthday live stream planned for tonight?"
Lim Nayeon seemed to have thought of something and even asked a question.
"Not yet~"
Mina smiled and shook her head slightly: "I don't really want to do it myself. I'm not very good at chatting in front of the camera by myself, it would be very awkward."
"Annyeonghwa".
Upon hearing this, Son Chaeyoung immediately retorted, "I think Mina unnie is super funny."
Hearing this, Lim Nayeon's eyes darted around, seemingly already planning her 'birthday surprise' for the evening.
Just then, Mina's phone, which was in her pocket, suddenly rang.
She subconsciously reached for her phone, but just as she was about to take it out, the door to the practice room was suddenly pushed open by her manager.
With a loud "bang," it slammed against the wall, making quite a noise.
The loud and sudden noise instantly silenced the previously noisy practice room.
Everyone sensed something was wrong from the sudden loud noise and the expression on the face of the manager, Kim Sang-min, who walked in.
When Kim Sang-min walked in, his expression was terrible. His brows were tightly furrowed, his face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water, and his eyes were filled with obvious anger.
His sharp gaze swept over every member in the practice room, and the oppressive atmosphere emanating from him made it hard to breathe.
The next second, his gaze was fixed firmly on Park Jihyo.
