Chapter 953 Kiss
…………
The drama "Goblin" has caused an unimaginable sensation since its launch. Even the main creators such as the director and writer, and even the actors such as Chi Jingyuan themselves did not expect that the drama would be so popular.
Looking back now, there are probably many reasons. The original cast of "Descendants of the Sun" is very strong. Kim Eun-sook is very good at writing emotions and lines, and the script is exquisite. TVN has many resources and excellent production. Even the actors are well selected. Several leading actors have excellent acting skills and looks, and they are popular.
But apart from this, it is also closely related to the current political situation. The turbulent situation has made many citizens anxious and worried for a long time. Under mental fatigue, they subconsciously need to relax. "Goblin", a handsome but relaxing, healing and beauty-enhancing TV series, just meets the needs of most people at this time. The right time and place have created such a popular annual drama.
Although "Descendants of the Sun" was broadcast on a wireless TV station and "Goblin" was broadcast on a cable TV station, the situations when the two were broadcast were very different, and data such as ratings cannot be compared horizontally.
However, just by comparing the benefits obtained by the leading actors of "Goblin" at this time, we can actually see something. The main popularity of "The Queen" is concentrated on the male and female protagonists, while the leading actors of "Goblin" can be said to have all become popular, and have never stopped various advertising endorsements.
In particular, Ji Jingyuan's endorsement fees in the advertising industry at this time directly broke through the sky, far exceeding Song Zhongji at the beginning of the year, and even broke the record set by Kim Soo Hyun in 14 because of "My Love from the Star".
In fact, a considerable part of the popularity of "The Queen" continued and increased after the show ended, when Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo announced their relationship and got married... So in the eyes of many viewers, "Goblin" surpasses "The Queen" in terms of quality and influence, and is the drama king of 16.
...In fact, if Ji Kyung-won also imitates the Song-Song couple and announces his relationship with Bae Suzy after the show ends, the popularity will probably explode immediately and surpass the Song-Song couple.
Unfortunately, it’s just a thought.
Immediately after the official end of "Goblin", a large number of discussion posts appeared online. Countless viewers spoke out to discuss their thoughts on the final ending and expressed their reluctance to part with the show. Major media outlets also published news about the end of "Goblin" in bright positions on their entertainment pages.
"The finale of 'Goblin' had a peak viewership of 24.5% and an average viewership of 22.1%, breaking its own viewership record once again and surpassing the viewership record set by the final episode of 'Reply 1988' last year, becoming the highest-rated TV drama in tvN history."
"Ji Jingyuan has won the actor topic ranking for six consecutive weeks. He has firmly occupied the top spot on similar lists since the broadcast of "Goblin", and his topic level is leading by a large margin."
"Chi Jingyuan's popularity has skyrocketed and he is being sought after by brands. It is reported that the price of a single advertisement has reached 15 billion won."
"The charm of "Goblin" is irresistible! Goblin Ji Kyung-won and Grim Reaper Lee Dong-wook are extremely popular. According to a website poll, the first place for 'male star most wanted to confess on Valentine's Day' is Ji Kyung-won (58%), followed by Lee Dong-wook (35%). Both of them are leading by a large margin. Popular actors such as Park Bo-gum (14%), Song Joong-ki (7%), Nam Joo-hyuk (3%), and Seo In-guk (1%) are following closely behind.
In addition, Bae Suzy topped the list of "female stars who I want to confess my love to the most" and was ahead by a large margin (47%), followed by AOA Seolhyun (26%), Red Velvet member Irene (20%) and TWICE Nayeon (10%).
In addition to various news, discussions about the finale and the ending are also everywhere:
"It's really over... It's over just like that... I'm really sad."
"Luckily it's a happy ending. My heart was broken when I saw Eun Tak's car accident, especially when Oppa was in pain. Do you know how hard I cried? Fortunately, the two of them met each other again in the end. The ending scene was so romantic."
"I wonder if anyone has noticed? I even went back and watched it again... In the first episode, when Jin Yu and Ji Eun-tak met in the rain, the memory fragment Jin Yu saw was actually the scene of the dandelion in the last scene of the finale. Everything started after the end, which really made me tremble all over."
"Is this ending really good? Why do I feel like it's a bad ending? Although Eun-tak's death in a car accident is a bit melodramatic, ending with regret like this actually gives people a stronger shock... I think the scene where Ji Eun-tak meets the goblin at the end is unnecessary and a bit cliché."
"This ending is more of a sad ending than a happy ending. The drama says that a person can only reincarnate four times. The two met again in this life, but when Eun-tak's last life comes, Jin-cheol will have gone through all the brilliant moments of his life, and in the end, he will only be left with eternal loneliness... It's really sad to think about it."
"Loneliness and brilliance are dialectical. Only after enduring a long period of loneliness will one cherish a moment of brilliance more. No matter whose life it is, God has stopped by, but what God cannot predict is the choice of people... Ghosts choose to love desperately, so what about me..."
The entire internet is filled with discussions about the finale, some like it, some dislike it, some are moved, and some are reluctant to let it go.
But no matter what, no matter how much you like or hate the ending, no matter how reluctant you are, the show has finally come to an end.
However, at the same time, advertising endorsements of several major actors have quietly appeared in every corner of the peninsula. The name of "Goblin" is often mentioned in variety shows, interviews, and even live broadcasts of celebrity idols.
At the same time, several filming locations of "Goblin", such as the Hakwon Farm in North Jeolla Province where the classic buckwheat field scene was filmed, the Gangwon-do Sand Embankment where the seaside solitude scene was filmed, and the Dongguk Mansion where the Goblin CP lived together, have become holy places that audiences and passers-by yearn for and check in.
Even places like Petit Champlain Street and Maple Leaf Park in Quebec, Canada, have become key destinations for overseas travel for tourists from the peninsula and even Asia, and their popularity has soared in a short period of time in the areas where "Goblin" was popular.
Although the broadcast has ended, the influence of the TV series has not disappeared, but has continued to spread among the costumes.
………………
While the finale of "Goblin" has caused widespread discussion and the popularity remains high, on the other side of the sea in LA, after two days, the filming of the MV for "Love Senario" is about to be completed, and Yoo Ji Min's role has also come to an end.
Only one last scene left.
"Oppa, would you like some coffee?"
On the set, a crisp voice came from the side. Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting in the director's chair and texting on his mobile phone, looked up and saw Liu Zhimin standing beside him with her waist bent. Although the white sweater on her upper body was not tight and wrapped tightly, the lines of her chest were still very obvious.
She supported her hands on her legs, leaning forward to look at him. Her originally tight neckline dropped down at the right moment, revealing a gap that allowed the line of sight to pass through. Behind the gap were inverted peaks and a wonderful, astonishing ravine. A hint of white could be seen from the dark neckline, which made it even more fascinating at a glance.
Liu Zhimin, who had already put on makeup, had curly hair, a delicate face, and a youthful glow, was still looking at him lively and vividly, her body slightly leaning forward, as if she had no guard at all.
Chi Jingyuan looked up from the bottom, and after a brief glance at the scenery, his eyes were fixed on Liu Zhimin's face. Looking at this pretty face, he did not refuse, but nodded and said, "Thank you, put less sugar."
The girl who replaced Cui Zhichang made an OK gesture when she heard it, and quickly stood up with a noticeable sway in her chest, and then trotted to the side.
Looking at Liu Zhimin's energetic back and the plump and tight little buttocks wrapped in tight jeans, which only girls have, Chi Jingyuan chuckled with clear eyes and continued to browse his phone with his head down.
Shooting in LA was much more troublesome than in Seoul, resulting in low efficiency. Today, on the third day, the MV for the title song is almost completed.
Liu Zhimin didn't have many scenes, and the filming was not concentrated, so she had a lot of free time. This girl stayed on the set, and would appear next to Chi Jingyuan when she saw that he had nothing to do.
At first, she pretended as if they met by chance, but after two or three times, she stopped pretending and would come over whenever she had time. At first, they were just chatting cautiously, but later, she occasionally took the initiative to take over the assistant's work.
Even though Chi Jingyuan could tell at first glance that this female trainee had an obvious crush on him and had some ulterior motive, who could coldly reject a pretty girl who was youthful and pretty and kept coming closer to you?
Moreover, this girl's advantageous features are really eye-catching, and she knows how to use them. Every time she moves intentionally or unintentionally, even Chi Jingyuan can't help but have reveries in his mind, and can't help but sigh that this slender and beautiful figure is really a gift from nature.
After a few days, although Chi Jingyuan and this female trainee were not very familiar with each other, at least chatting and joking with each other had become very natural. It was much better than when they first met, when there was a huge difference in status between a TOP idol and an ordinary female trainee, and they couldn't even say a word to each other and the first thing they did when they met was to bow 90 degrees.
Director Jin, who was in charge of the supervision at the beginning, was worried that she would disturb Chi Jingyuan's actions and would come over to take her away. However, not long after she was taken away, Liu Zhimin came over again. After doing it a few times, seeing that Chi Jingyuan did not feel disgusted, Director Jin immediately stopped asking questions and usually stayed away from her, chatting lively with others and not paying any attention to this side.
Even Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh that little girls nowadays are getting more and more powerful.
The other girl who came with them, Kim Min-joo, was obviously much weaker. It might be because she came from a small company and was surrounded by SM people, so she was a little reserved by nature. She was not as open as Liu Zhimin. After arriving in LA for a few days, they were still completely unfamiliar with each other and she hardly talked to Chi Jingyuan... although it was obvious that she really wanted to talk.
Not to mention the contact information, Liu Zhimin got Chi Jingyuan's phone number the next day after he arrived.
...However, because Chi Jingyuan didn't have much contact with Kim Min Zhou, his main impression of her was that this girl looked a bit like Zhou Ziyu, but with the main character in front, this characteristic didn't have much room to play. Unlike Liu Zhimin, who was active and interesting, honest but timid, smart and emotionally intelligent but occasionally a little silly, especially standing next to her and moving a few times to attract attention, the advantage is really a bit big.
"Oppa, here~"
A few minutes later, Liu Zhimin came back and happily handed Chi Jingyuan a cup of coffee, with a straw inserted. She also took a cup herself, held it in her hand, and sat beside him to sip it, looking at Chi Jingyuan while drinking, and all her movements seemed so natural.
"…Oppa, LOVE SCENARIO is really nice to listen to. I feel like it will be a big hit!"
"Well... you actually said it once yesterday, but I feel more relieved when you say it."
"Hehe... I looked at the lyrics and it seems to be about love and ex-girlfriends. Hmm... is it Oppa's real experience?"
"Not really. Lyrics are all processed by technology. You'll know the details after you debut."
“…Oppa, is the ending of Goblin a happy ending or a bad ending?”
After chatting with her yesterday, Chi Jingyuan found out that this girl seemed to be a crazy fan of Goblin as well.
"If it's my understanding... it's a bad ending. Although it seems that the reunion at the end is beautiful, in the end, one person is still destined to be lonely forever."
"...Well, I think as long as we can be together, no matter what happens in the future, I'm already happy. It's because love has a time limit that we cherish it all the more..."
Liu Zhimin put down the coffee in her hand, her face showing thought and longing, and the index fingers of her two hands touched each other lightly without intending to do so... Chi Jingyuan glanced at her sideways. Although they had not been together for a long time, he had already discovered that this girl had many habitual little movements, especially the pointing of the index fingers at each other, which she always did without intending to do.
What surprised Chi Jingyuan was that Liu Zhimin could actually speak Chinese. Although she didn't speak it very well, she didn't have that awkward accent. It was unexpectedly quite pleasant to the ear... She herself said that Chinese was an elective course in high school and she also learned it when she was a child.
"I really don't want it to end like this. I really want to see the next story of Kim Yoon and Eun Tak... Will there be a second season of Goblin, Oppa?"
"Although it may disappoint you, it probably won't happen...at least I haven't heard of it yet."
"Oh, I see (sighs in disappointment)...Oppa, since you are so popular, wouldn't it be inconvenient to date... with your girlfriend?"
"What's so convenient about this? You have to go no matter whether it's convenient or not, and... well, you'll understand after you debut."
"Oh... By the way, Oppa, are we going to film a kissing scene later? What does it feel like to film a kissing scene? I haven't tried it yet, tell me about it."
"Kissing scene? You might be looking forward to it before filming, but it's actually quite awkward during the actual filming... But we're using a borrowed camera for the kissing scene this time, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Ah, borrowing a position..."
Hearing the voice, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but look over... What did the hidden power in Liu Zhimin's voice mean? Was he wrong?
"Hey, by the way, Oppa..."
Liu Zhimin nodded stupidly, picked up the notes and drank a sip of coffee. After thinking for a while, when she was about to ask something else, she saw the director walking over. She could only stand up and salute quickly, and then swallowed the question she was about to ask about Chi Jingyuan's girlfriend.
"Jingyuan, Zhiminxi, let me tell you what to pay attention to during the filming... Jingyuan should already know, especially Zhiminxi~"
The director didn't realize that he had disrupted the happy atmosphere of the conversation. As soon as he said hello, he immediately talked about the work that would be done later: "The kissing scene later will also be very simple. It's a sideways kissing scene with the back facing away."
"You two stand in the middle of the road, and Zhiminxi stands on the curb. Keep your heights aligned. There is no need for any interaction or contact. Just stand there motionless. Be careful to appear relaxed and not too nervous... Leave the rest to Jingyuan."
"There will be two fixed cameras set up around, and one for surround filming... But we will only film Ji Min-xi's back. In this shot, you will only show your side profile and not your front face, so we will use a borrowed camera, and there will be no real kiss..."
"Get ready, the shooting is about to begin."
After saying this, seeing that the two, especially Liu Zhimin, were fine, the director gave them a final instruction and went to get busy with preparations for the filming.
Liu Zhimin, who seemed to be looking forward to the kissing scene just now, seemed a little overwhelmed after listening to the director's words, and didn't know what to prepare. Seeing that she looked completely inexperienced, Chi Jingyuan took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and threw it to her:
"Even though it's a borrowed position...but still, brush your teeth."
…………
Liu Zhimin stood on the curb, following the director's instructions without moving, like a puppet, but her eyes were very smart as she looked at Chi Jingyuan. Her big eyes with delicate eyeliner looked extremely nervous, but there seemed to be some obvious expectation.
Chi Jingyuan didn't have so many thoughts. After shooting kissing scenes so many times, he no longer had any special feelings about them... In fact, because kissing scenes have never been shot smoothly, he felt a little annoyed to have to keep reshooting in front of so many people.
He stood in front of Liu Zhimin, gently put his right hand around her waist, quickly lowered his head and moved his head closer. Liu Zhimin's pupils suddenly shrank and her heart beat wildly.
However, the imagined touch of lips did not come. Chi Jingyuan's head and mouth stopped abruptly one centimeter away from her and did not move forward any further.
But the uneasiness in her heart did not disappear... The face and lips were so close to her. As long as she raised her head, she could see the face that often appeared in her fantasy. Her regular breathing was still hot even after she had deliberately restrained it. With every breath, she could clearly feel the restless air flow hitting her face, which made her heart beat faster like a drumstick.
The big hand around her waist seemed to be emitting a burning heat. Although they didn't really kiss, this posture made her more nervous... and uncontrollably excited.
…She felt even more distracted.
"Action!"
Fortunately, this shot did not require Liu Zhimin to make any movements. After the two of them maintained the movements, the director gave the order and the shooting officially began.
The two people hugging each other on the curb did not move. As the indicator lights of several cameras next to them lit up, they immediately stared at them eagerly and started filming. At the same time, the jib camera also filmed a surround shot around the two of them.
Although the camera next to it was filming happily, the two protagonists in the center did not feel very comfortable.
Chi Jingyuan didn't think there was anything wrong with filming a kissing scene, as he was experienced in this area...but he didn't expect that his partner was a real virgin.
As soon as he put his head close to her, he felt Liu Zhimin's whole body tremble. After this borrowed posture was maintained for a few seconds and the official shooting began, he could clearly feel with his right hand that the girl's body temperature was rising. It might even be because she was too nervous or excited, her body was still shaking slightly.
Above, the two people were face to face, with their lips only about one centimeter apart. Although they didn't really kiss, the contact of their bodies, the blending of their body temperatures, the fragrant scents... Such an ambiguous posture was so charming that even Chi Jingyuan had a hard time staying calm, let alone the inexperienced Liu Zhimin.
Zhimin opened her eyes at first, but closed them again when she got close to him. After a few seconds, she opened them again, looked at him, and then closed them again. After repeating this twice, she seemed to have gotten used to the feeling. Finally, she stared at him with her big eyes wide open without blinking. The ripples in her eyes reflected a strong sense of uneasiness and nervousness, but also a clear sense of charm. Her long eyelashes swayed as her eyes trembled.
Chi Jingyuan looked down slightly. The blush on the pretty face so close to him was about to overflow. Moreover, this girl could not control her breathing like Chi Jingyuan. Her sweet but heavy exhalation kept touching his philtrum, making him feel itchy. He wanted to scratch it but couldn't.
Her pale pink lips were so gorgeous, and I don't know if it was a conditioned reflex or if she was thinking about something strange, but her lips were slightly pouting, which made her look cute and attractive. If their cheeks were one centimeter apart...then their lips were only half a centimeter apart.
Looking further down, Chi Jingyuan's sight was blocked by the bulging sweater. Liu Zhimin's chest rose and fell noticeably as she breathed rapidly, and each breath seemed to cause a slight shake. The closer one was to the person, the clearer the feeling was.
The partner's inexperienced performance and such a strong yet real reaction made even an experienced person like Chi Jingyuan feel a little nervous and... restless.
When shooting a kissing scene between normal actors, there is usually nothing charming and sweet about it. In fact, it is more awkward and embarrassing. Two people standing face to face with each other and looking at each other without laughing awkwardly is considered very professional.
Who would have thought that when it came to Liu Zhimin, there was no awkwardness at all. Instead, besides being full of tension, there was all ambiguity and...sexiness.
If I had known that using a stand-in would look so weird, I would have just kissed her and taken the real shot.
Looking at the pretty face in front of him, Chi Jingyuan felt a little warm in his heart and couldn't help but complain.
"CUT! Very good."
After the two of them maintained this posture for more than a minute, the director finally shouted with satisfaction.
Hearing the voice, Chi Jingyuan, who had been stiff for a long time, felt relieved and his body relaxed immediately.
Just as the indicator light of the camera next to him turned to standby, he just took a breath and was about to look up and leave, when Liu Zhimin in front of him suddenly stood on tiptoe.
She kissed him on the lips quickly, impulsively, and involuntarily with her pouty red lips, with clearly visible lip lines.
