Chapter 71 Bad Taste
Tony walked over curiously, took a look, and asked, "This was given to me by that trainee girl?"
"Um"
"Then can I...?"
"No!"
Seeing Kang Woo-jin clutching the bag and staring at him like he was a thief, Tony silently withdrew his hand. He pointed to a bag of cartoon-packaged potato chips inside and said awkwardly, "I was just saying, could you bring me some next time?"
"Oh...of course, that's no problem..."
After realizing his mistake, Jiang Youzhen felt he had exaggerated a bit, but he still shared the snacks with Tony.
Of course, he sent out those extremely high-calorie foods.
Tony ate with great relish, and was very happy to look at the cartoon characters on the packaging. After finishing his meal, he would clean the packaging and put it away.
Who would have thought this old guy was an anime fanatic?
I haven't received a reply from the girl on my phone yet, but given the time difference in China, she should still be sleeping.
When the break was over, Jiang Youzhen returned to his seat. Jiang Jingshu took a walk around the film set while they were resting. She was very impressed with the atmosphere among the staff, which was quite nice and not too noisy.
but...
The moment the camera switched on, Jennifer's piercing scream instantly overturned her previous thoughts.
No wonder it was so quiet. It turns out that the entire crew's vocal output relied on Jennifer. The others were also unwilling to speak in order to protect their voices, since playing a zombie is not an easy task.
After spending half a day with the crew, Jiang Jingshu felt she didn't have any suggestions. She could tell that Jiang Youzhen had his own filming habits, and if she forced him to change any arrangements, it might have a negative effect.
She took Kang Woo-jin's car keys. She didn't plan to stay in New York for more than a few days, but she could wander around and do a lot of shopping.
Jiang Youzhen asked her curiously what her plans were, and then she said she was going to find Mads-Oh.
Upon hearing this answer, he knew he had been too talkative.
Life on set is never boring. Aside from filming, the director is busy directing and explaining scenes. He enjoys the filming process, except for the occasional sudden close-up shot that startles him.
Every time the stunt performers went on stage, Jiang Youzhen was always worried that something might really happen to them, so he checked the equipment and props several times a day.
The only thing that was unrelated to the film crew was that Tony reported good news about the box office performance of "Lost in Delta".
The film grossed nearly $15 million in North America and nearly $20 million worldwide. While not exactly mediocre, it was still quite good. The best part was its critical reception; in the small circle of horror film directors, Kang Woo-jin had become quite well-known.
Kang Woo-jin doesn't care much about box office results, since the film company takes the lion's share of the profits, and his share of the profits is not low either; the amount he receives later will be quite substantial.
Apart from this incident, everything else is normal.
The new movie is still in production, but the film company has already started preparing for publicity. Of course, before the official release, the publicity will not be extensive; it is enough to let the audience in the horror movie circle and interested people know about it.
After returning to Korea, Jiang Jingshu also started promoting her new movie. When reporters asked about her new work, she would mention Jiang Youzhen's new film, which was also a way of promoting it for him.
...
Jiang Jingshu will make appearances to support the film during the first few promotional events.
However, she didn't go to the local cities to participate in the promotion. The movie had good hype, and the actors' performances were also outstanding, so she was very reassured.
On a normal workday, with the weather just right, Jiang Jingshu ordered a coffee and dessert at the coffee shop downstairs from her office and habitually found a quiet spot to sit down.
She would glance at the company across the street from time to time. Because of the close proximity, she could see many trainees and company employees coming and going in the building.
Every time she saw Kim Tae-yeon and the others, she would sigh and think that SM Entertainment was indeed a large and powerful company, and that the level of its trainees was so high.
The trainees who entered the coffee shop quickly noticed Jiang Jingshu. They immediately became reserved and greeted her from a distance with their heads bowed.
It was quite noticeable that the dozen or so people fell silent at the same time. The cashier looked at them with a mocking expression, handed the change to Kim Tae-yeon, and then saw her walk towards Kang Jung-seo.
This sudden action surprised them all.
"Author-nim, are you having coffee here too?"
"Okay, sit down and have something to eat together." Jiang Jingshu nodded slightly. She carefully looked at Kim Tae-yeon. The last time they met was also here, but it was in a hurry. She only said that she was going to New York to see Jiang Youzhen before the girl ran away.
When they returned, they had a large bag of snacks in their hands, which they asked them to give to Jiang Youzhen.
Hmm...they're all sweet snacks, she thought Jiang Youzhen might not eat them.
However, she still accepted the request.
"I gave all the things you gave me last time to Youzhen, and he seemed... to really like them."
Recalling how Jiang Youzhen held that bag, as if he wanted to carry it with him all the time, Jiang Jingshu couldn't say anything nice, and just chuckled dryly, "He even happily shared a few packs with the crew."
"As long as he likes to eat, that's good. By the way, writer, I heard from Anders that he's filming a new movie. Did you go to the set to watch it?" Kim Tae-yeon asked, slightly nervously.
"I've seen it. You should check it out when you have the chance. It's quite fun. I also have an idea: to write a new script with Youzhen and film it domestically."
Seeing the girl's expectant look, Jiang Jingshu chuckled, a mischievous glint in her eye.
The film sets of horror movies are definitely fun. Some props are stained with blood, and some eerie religious items look weird and are bound to be entertaining.
Kim Tae-yeon had no idea about Kang Jung-seo's wicked sense of humor. When she heard about Kang Jung-seo's plan to collaborate with Kang Woo-jin on a script, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
At the prompting of her companions in the distance, she politely said goodbye to Jiang Jingshu and quickly left.
"So cute~"
Jiang Jingshu smiled as she watched the group of girls walk out of the coffee shop. When she saw Kim Tae-yeon turn around and look in their direction, she waved with a smile.
This small gesture made the girls feel flattered and they quickly returned the greeting.
Not long after they returned to the practice room, they saw a strange man appear outside the practice room. Kim Taeyeon recognized him, paused for a moment, and then looked back at the building across the street.
"Secretary Lin?"
The person who came was Jiang Jingshu's secretary, but he came this time to deliver movie tickets.
Kim Tae-yeon accepted the paper bag containing the movie tickets and watched the other person leave before opening the bag herself.
"Oh? It's the movie 'Tazza' directed by Choi Dong-hoon. It was just released, wasn't it? I've heard about it. It's a really good movie," Jessica Jung said, slightly surprised, upon seeing the name on the movie ticket.
"So why did that person... give us movie tickets?" Yoona glanced at the movie tickets. The movie was set to be unsuitable for those under 18 unless accompanied by a parent.
The familiar words made her silently tighten her grip on Kim Tae-yeon's hand.
The parent stopped her!
"Because FFF also invested, and the script adaptation was also done with the help of the writer, but... Yoona, why are you dragging me along like this?"
Kim Tae-yeon tried to guess and even tried to pull her arm out of Im Yoon-ah's arms, but she was no match for her strength and had to give up.
"Unnie, look here. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent," Yoona pointed to a large, bolded reminder on the movie ticket.
"Then take a look here, VIP ticket, private theater," Kim Tae-yeon said speechlessly, pulling on Im Yoon-ah's finger to make her see the VIP label on the ticket.
Upon hearing this, everyone present who was under the age of eighteen breathed a sigh of relief.
However, even if it's just a regular movie ticket, it's fine as long as your parents accompany you!
